First Minister of Ming Dynasty

If you stand from the perspective of a bystander, you will probably think that the Red Turbans are defending the city, and the Yuan army is attacking. The reason for such a judgment is that the whole situation has been reversed.

Zhu Yuanzhang adopted the strategy of Jia Lu in the past. He divided 400 artillery carts into two groups on the left and right. The targets were all not far from Hezhou City.

In addition to the cannon car, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for the elite cavalry of the Wu brothers to cover carefully, and mobilized the elite of Xu Da's department to prepare behind the gun to prevent the Yuan army from suddenly rushing out and destroying the artillery car.

All these preparations are like Jia Lu of that day.

As for the Yuan army in the city, they didn't even kill them, just like the Red Turban Army at that time.

When Bald Jian and Stumbled Ma heard that the red thief was going to attack Hezhou with a return cannon, they almost wanted to laugh. Who doesn't know that Yuan Ting's Huihui artillery is so powerful that it was with this hand that he blasted away all the strong cities in the Southern Song Dynasty and blasted out a great Yuan Dynasty.

"The red thieves shouldn't compete with us, they shouldn't compare themselves with guns, they are looking for their own way!" Tu Jian said firmly.

Stumbling on the horse is a little more meticulous than him, "The following people reported that the red thief's artillery formation was 400 paces away from the city wall, and the return cannon can only hit 250 paces at the most, it could not be that the red thief found something. The secret?"

Tu Jian laughed, "What's the secret? With a 250-step return cannon, a 150-pound stone bullet can be fired. If the red thief wants to hit a long distance, it is nothing more than reducing the weight of the bullet. We have Jiancheng. Shelter, don't be afraid at all, the bullets are small, what's the use, these red thieves are just a group of farmers. The mud on the feet has not been washed clean, and I want to compare with the skilled craftsmen of Dayuan.

"Let's have a drink here and wait for the news of their failure!"

Tu Jian raised his glass, and before he could drink it into his stomach, he heard a roar!

Like a thunder blast!

what happened?

a bolt from the blue?

Bald Jian and the stumbled horse are unknown, so it seems that it is indeed a thunderbolt, and it disappears with only one sound.

By drinking, by having fun, don't stop!

But at this moment, the dense thunderclap sounded earth-shattering, one after another, and even the ground under his feet was shaking.

What happened?

No matter how sluggish this person was, he knew it was bad. Sure enough, there was a Yuan soldier with blood on his face, running over in a hurry. Just a few steps away, he fell to the ground in fright.

"It's big, the big thing is bad, the red thief's backfire is amazing, it's amazing!"

Bald Jian was stunned, impossible!

Impossible, Huihui Cannon is a top secret that has been passed down by the Yuan court for a hundred years, and its power is infinite.

"Go, show me!"

The soldiers were uneasy and could only lead the way in front of them with the heart of Feng Xiaoxiao and Yi Shuihan. Just as they were advancing, a thunderous sound resounded like a gust of wind and rain, and a huge explosion made their ears buzzing. Loud, the internal organs are about to be moved.

The Yuan army in Hezhou City was trembling and trembling amid the violent explosion, as if the end had come.

As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the city, a stone bomb exploded in the air, and the flying stone chips slashed his cheeks. If it was bigger, his head would be broken... Tu Jian was horrified and restrained the war horse.

At this time, the Zhu family army outside the city was very happy, as if it were a Chinese New Year.

Finally, it was their turn to crush the enemy with technical equipment. It turned out that the feeling of bullying others was so cool!

Zhu Jiajun's Huihui artillery was carefully crafted by Jia Lu. According to reason, it should be stronger than the Yuan army's, but it may not be strong enough to be crushed.

But there is Zhang Ximeng. Although he does not have the hands-on ability of Lao Jia, he still knows the principle of leverage.

This lever principle has been recorded as early as in the Book of Ink, and Jia Lu is naturally clear, but Zhang Ximeng still understands one thing, and that is scientific experiments.

How big should the gun truck be, how much weight, how long the wooden pole, how many projectiles... How should the combination be in order to maximize the power of the return gun.

Zhang Ximeng provided ideas, Jia Lu immediately directed the craftsman to verify, and finally finalized the system of Huihui Cannon.

Zhang Ximeng then provided Jia Lu with the exact gunpowder formula, which, without any accident, was a great success again. Jia Lu also asked Zhang Ximeng where he got it.

He put these things together and got what he is today.

In fact, in the battle of Haozhou, Zhang Ximeng also used a trebuchet to win against Jia Lu once, but that time was purely to drive ducks onto the shelves, and he reluctantly won by the height of the city wall. There were too many flukes. If the craftsmen can be as careful as Zhu Jiajun and strive for perfection, perhaps the result of the Battle of Haozhou will be rewritten.

But these are all in the past. Now the Zhujia Army's artillery vehicle has an advantage of more than 100 steps in range. Even if the Yuan Army's Huihui artillery can be fired at the city head, it is condescending, and it can't make up for it.

In fact, when the Zhujia Army launched, the Yuan Army brought Huihui Cannon up.

Although the soldiers repeatedly said that the distance was not enough, it was not at all within reach.

But Yuan Jun couldn't take it anymore. They couldn't watch their own people being attacked, but they couldn't fight back.

Even if you can't hit it, you have to give it to me!

The Yuan Army's Huihui Cannon finally went to the city, and finally fired a round. The 150-pound stone bullet fell on the ground and rolled forward for a while. There were still more than 20 steps away from the Zhujia Army. stopped.

Then Zhu Jiajun's return artillery covered it.

The same huge stone bullet, due to its hollowing out and a more reasonable structure, easily drew a beautiful arc and landed in the area of ​​​​the return gun.

As many as dozens of stone bombs exploded almost at the same time, smoke filled with gunpowder, stones flew around, and hit Yuan Jun. The light ones were injured, the heavy ones were broken, and some were smashed to death.

The Huihui Cannon is a weapon that relies on the weight of the projectile to kill. It is difficult to be accurate enough. Zhang Ximeng also proposed to use iron as the projectile, but it was directly rejected by Jia Lu.

At the current level, it is still very difficult to make a uniformly sealed iron ball. If you have this level, you can make artillery with a little effort.

So if you want to know about the tech tree, you still have to wait.

Jia Lu chose stone bullets with the right weight, good power, and mature manufacturing technology. After all, there are a lot of stone masons in Chuzhou City.

In the hollowed out stone bomb, fill in gunpowder, then insert a match rope, ignite it before launching, throw it... When it falls over the target, it will explode.

How long the match is and when it will be ignited is carefully calculated and rigorously trained.

Otherwise, if the match is too short, what should you do if you blow yourself up? If the match is too long, it won't explode. When you hit the ground, the stone bullet will be broken, and the power will drop sharply.

All in all, a weapon, from design to manufacture, to mature training, battlefield application, and then to continuous feedback and modification, and finally becoming a reliable big killer, requires an extraordinary amount of time and energy. , will be successful.

Fortunately, Zhang Ximeng had Jia Lu by his side.

Anyway, I can congratulate the old gentleman and Zhu Jiajun.

In the next half-day artillery battle, the Zhu family's army brutalized their opponents by virtue of their range, rate of fire, and superiority in power.

The Yuan army's return artillery was completely useless. They were pressed and beaten by the Zhu family's army. They lost more than 50 aircraft. The reason why they didn't lose more was because the gunners protested collectively. If the idiot general let them go to death, these people Just a riot, anyway, they are all dead, and if they die at the hands of Zhu Jiajun, they will be shattered.

The Yuan army, who was in charge of defending the city, suffered great losses. Just under the first round of shelling, one million households were hit in the chest by the fragments of the stone bullet that exploded in the sky. .

In addition, there were more than 500 people who were killed by bombings, burned, and crushed by the collapsed towers. The Yuan army was so frightened that they did not dare to climb the city.

In addition, Hezhou City was also destroyed.

The tower was ignited by the explosive flames, and it collapsed directly. The pillars were broken, and the broken tiles fell to the ground.

Thousands of crenels were blown away, and the parapet was damaged a lot.

What's even worse is the city wall. Under the constant explosions, the blue bricks outside have been blasted to nothing, revealing the mud inside.

Although there was a unique secret technique in ancient times, glutinous rice water and egg whites could be used as adhesives to make the city walls stronger than cement walls. But I'm sorry, Hezhou is just an unknown town, far from so luxurious.

Therefore, after the collapse of the blue bricks, and the sediment inside, there have been many dangers in the city wall, causing the Yuan army in the city to shiver.

"It can't be like this, it must be beaten out, and then passively beaten, Hezhou will fall sooner or later!"

It took only half a day for Bald Jian and Sang Ma to go from initial shock, disbelief, to today's panic.

"We should select the dead, take the initiative to go out of the city, attack the red thieves, and kill them, so that we can survive!"

Stumbled on the horse and nodded, agreeing to the proposal. However, after the shelling, the Yuan army was torn apart, and there were still many loyal and brave people willing to go out of the city and work hard.

Therefore, Tujian could only increase the rewards, and finally, after a lot of hardships, he gathered 5,000 people.

Just when they were about to go out, the Chengtou Yuan Army discovered some inconspicuous gadgets... It turned out that Lu Gongche was dispatched. This 30-foot-long, two-foot-high behemoth was unceremoniously towards Hezhou City. head over.

The five Lu Gong cars in the setting sun were like five giant beasts from ancient times, roaring with unparalleled oppression.

The Chengtou Yuan army had long ago lost their courage, and now facing Lu Gongche, they also lost their courage.

The arrows were sparsely raining, and the soldiers in Lu Gong's car were completely unable to be injured.

They wanted to use Huihui Pao to attack, but in the daytime, Huihui Pao suffered heavy losses, and the gunners all ran away. At this moment, it was extremely difficult to get them up, and Zhu Jiajun's Huihui Pao was not a vegetarian.

Most of the other bow and crossbow weapons were also lost in the daytime attacks.

Only at this moment did the Yuan army know that the real purpose of the artillery battle was to gain a head start, to consume the Yuan army's courage, to destroy their means of counterattack, and to clear the obstacles to siege.

Lu Gongche is the big killer of the Zhu Family Army!

At this time, it seems that UU reading www.uukanshu.com can only pray that Lu Gongche is damaged.

Longevity days, quickly appear!

It is a pity that the excellent quality, strict procedures, and sufficient training are enough to conquer the sky.

The first Lu Gong car approached the city head, and when the distance was less than ten feet away, a vigorous figure rushed out first and leaped to the city head in one step.

The city head, which has lost the shield of the parapet, is unobstructed, and there is no need to worry about any ambush, so the danger of siege is greatly reduced.

The first person who was fortunate enough to kill Shangchengtou was Deng Youde, who had just taken refuge with him. He held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. After he went to the city, he slashed and slashed wildly. Follow-up soldiers swarmed and took the city head in one fell swoop!

"Good job!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, "Tonight, let's take Hezhou for us!"
