The Battle of Jinzhou started like this.

This is basically a decisive battle between Song and Jin.

The winner is the master of the Great Wall.

Nianhan beat Wang Yue, then whether they are the remnants of the Ming Dynasty or the Liao Kingdom, they are all swept away by the Jurchens torrent. Wang Yue defeats Nianhan, and the Jurchens cannot save western Liaoning. In the end, they can only shrink back to their starting point ten years ago, and return to the mountains and forests to use their advantages to try not to be destroyed by Wang Yue.

But everything obtained from the bloody battle ten years ago was gone.

This is a decisive battle.

Since it is a decisive battle, of course we have to use the weapon of the decisive battle.

Ants in the southeast of Jinzhou are located in Haikou.

"Finally come!"

The King of Zhongshan looked at a large seaship slowly docking with anticipation...

Actually not big.

It was only ten feet long. With the standard two thousand materials at this time, Jinzhou is the main harbor, Xiaoling River Estuary and Bijiashan are all harbors, but at this time it was mainly the estuary of Xiaoling River, which was the Ant Village, and the sea boats could only reach here. This was built by Han Qingmin specifically for trade with him. Before the large-scale attack of Nianhan, Han Qingmin had even started to grow cotton in Jinzhou and then sold him to exchange for grain. Not only did merchant ships along the Bohai Sea coast come here, but even the Fujian-Zhejiang sea boats of Fang Qifu and others could reach here.

Similarly, the materials needed for the 140,000 troops attacking Jinzhou were transported here by sea.

Even including Jiangnan.

At this moment, the shore can be said to be like a forest.

Although Nianhan's cavalry were actually patrolling the north bank, this place was Haikou and the river was wide. Even if they stood on the north bank, they could only look at this side and sigh.

At present, both sides are bounded by Xiaoling River, with Jinzhou as the core in the north, with Chayashan City as the flank, and cavalry stationed on the north bank, and then mobilized materials from all over the western part of Liao to transport them to Jinzhou City to maintain his persistence. Even the glans gritted their teeth and squeezed out ten thousand Jurchens to reinforce him. In order to defend Jinzhou, they could say that they had done their best, which was quite like Chongzhen.

real.

Like Chongzhen, they placed their hopes on this city.

The difference is that Chongzhen and Shanhaiguan are also there.

But they didn't even have Shanhaiguan, and this was their only hope.

This sea ship is obviously loading a lot, and the waterlines are already pressed to the sea. Unlike other sea ships that transport military supplies, this ship also has a huge boom, with a complete set of pulleys on it. It is obvious that the things loaded on the ship are very heavy, and it has reached the point where such machinery is needed to load and unload.

"King, what is this?"

Yue Fei looked at the things covered in canvas in Class A in confusion.

These things are fixed on the deck one by one by one with iron chains, and there should be twelve in total. Judging from the thickness of the fixed iron chains, you will know that the weight of these twelve things is extraordinary.

Wang Yue smiled slightly.

But he did not answer his question.

He then signaled to the sailors on the deck.

The sailor immediately untied a rope with canvas tied to it. As the canvas was pulled apart, a giant inside showed its true appearance. It was obviously a large enlarged gun, longer, thicker, and many times thicker. He even had four wheels on both sides, landing on a very strong rack, with two long legs at the back. This thing was also made of bronze, and a striking dragon carved on the outside. It was very large, so large that the huge muzzle in front could almost allow a person to drill directly in, and was also long enough for the person to lie inside, pointing forward domineeringly in Class A.

"Download it now!"

Wang Yue said.

Since it is a forcing Jinzhou, of course it is impossible to have no cannons.

What's more, with the change of offensive and defensive roles, what the Song Dynasty needs next is expansion and external attacks, so it must face the solid walls of these surrounding forces.

The counterweight catapult is definitely not good.

This thing has long been ruined, and even the Jurchens can make it. Even the great painter secretly sent manufacturing technology to Xixia before. It has to be said that he has also put a lot of effort into it. In this case, it is not enough to play a counterweight trencher. Wang Yue's current situation has reached the point where he does not have to go into battle personally. It can be said that after this battle, his subordinates will be responsible for the future battle, so he can completely put the cannons out to bomb the city wall.

Actually, this is really needed.

The Xiaoling River outside Jinzhou City is too wide, and the counterweight catapulting rack cannot be thrown on the city wall on the south bank, but there is no place to be placed on the north bank.

There is a river outside Jinzhou City!

The cannons are different. They can be installed on the south bank, and then they can be poured into the Jinzhou city wall through the barrier of Xiaoling River. The rammed earth city wall cannot stop this. As long as the city wall is destroyed, it will be simple.

Actually, it's not too big.

Of course, the caliber must be huge.

These cannons bombard the city walls. At this time, they are all rammed earth walls and do not need to use iron shells. Moreover, because they are in an invincible state, they don’t have to care about the range, as long as they exceed the range of the counterweight catapult. So just like the Urban cannon, using a short and thick cannon barrel with a huge caliber can fire granite shells weighing 50 kilograms.

It is very powerful within 500 meters.

As for five hundred meters away...

A 50-pound granite ball is a pile of ruins wherever it falls from the sky. These days, not only are the city walls not covered with bricks, but ordinary buildings are rarely made of bricks, and most of them are made of wooden or adobe.

What building can withstand this?

The cannon was immediately untied, and then the boom was pushed and turned around. The hook was hung on the cannon. As dozens of sailors pulled the iron chains on the pulley, the super cannon of this era was slowly lifted up. At the same time, the ropes were thrown down, and the soldiers waiting below also pulled the rope, pulling a whole iron wood and four wrought iron, and then added a series of booms that were tied up with iron hoops, slowly turning over the dock. The soldiers above put it down, and the three-ton cannon completed its shipping. Then the soldiers rushed up, pushed it away from the dock and stopped in the open space.

"Everyone, do you want to see its power?"

Wang Yue stroked the cannon body and said.

The seven inscriptions above are clearly visible...

The invincible general of divine power.

Well, these cannons, like their peers in the Ming Dynasty, also have their own names. In fact, this is a common practice all over the world. Everyone likes to name cannons, just as everyone likes to pray to the gods they believe in before firing the cannons.

Pray for the Gods to bless.

Of course, it's not a blessing to hit the shot.

Instead, bless this thing not to burst into trouble and send yourself to heaven.

It has to be said that artillery in this era is also a very dangerous profession, and the possibility of being killed by one's own cannon is greater than being killed by an enemy cannon.

"think!"

Wang De shouted excitedly.

"Master, fire the fire and see!"

Shi Xiong shouted.

Then a group of generals who were summoned agreed, including Xiao Pu and Zhang Jinzhong.

"Yang Ping, take a shot!"

Wang Yue said.

Yang Ping, the commander of the artillery brigade who followed him, saluted silently and then greeted his subordinates. Of course, the commander of the artillery brigade must be a confidant and a person who can definitely rest assured, so Yang Ping is actually his true crazy believer.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of artillery soldiers rushed forward and quickly loaded silk medicine bags into the barrel. Because the barrel barrel was short and thick and the medicine room was shrinking, the amount of medicine was not very large, and it was only a dozen kilograms of injection at one time, but the loading was already amazing. As for the granite shell, it looked even more amazing. After all, a thirty-kilogram granite ball was carried by two soldiers and stuffed in. The scene was still a bit exaggerated. At the same time as the loading was filled, the remaining soldiers were also fixed, and the muzzle was pointed more than a hundred steps away, and there was a beacon tower on the sea.

Yang Ping personally completed the final aim.

"Master, prepare."

He bowed to Wang Yue and said.

Wang Yue quickly took the generals back for a while.

Yang Ping picked up the ignition rod.

An artillery pierced the pill bag inside with an awl and inserted a fuze.

Yang Ping immediately ignited the fuse.

Then he also took the artillerymen to evacuate.

Everyone was at a safe distance, staring at the rapidly burning fuse, which disappeared from their sight in a blink of an eye, and the next moment, they saw flames and smoke suddenly erupted from the ignition hole. At the same time, the muzzle in front was accompanied by a earth-shaking loud flame that suddenly erupted two or three feet apart.

The cannon body was fierce and then retreated.

Although there is a helping hoe behind, it still fails to stop it from taking a step back.

The generals who had seen explosions many times were very calm, but then they became screaming. Because the distance was close, the shell hit the target in less than a second. The granite ball weighing fifty kilograms, flying at the speed of sound, instantly made a gap in the beacon tower of rammed earth that seemed to be gnawed by a giant beast. And because it hit the edge, the beacon tower did not block it. It deflected slightly in the direction and crashed into a nearby house and then directly leveled it.

The whole pier is silent

You can even vaguely see the north shore, the patrolling Jurchen cavalry were looking here.

"Everyone, do you think the Jinzhou city wall can withstand a few such shells?"

Wang Yue said with a smile.

The generals stared behind him in amazement.

The half of the beacon tower behind him, which was missing, collapsed like a landslide mountain, with dust all over the sky...

"Quickly, remove them all and transport them outside Jinzhou City, so that Nianhan can taste it..."

Wang De yelled excitedly.

Then he looked at Wang Yue with inquiring eyes.

"The invincible general's cannon, don't call it a big gun in the future. It's all changed to cannons. With this, there is no need for a catapult. In the future, our cannons will be all artillery."

Wang Yue said.

"Let's go, bombard Jinzhou!"

Wang De yelled immediately.

The cannons of generals on the dock were removed like this, and then, as countless horses dragged and pulled the soldiers, they began to move forward little by little along the main road to Jinzhou...
Chapter completed!
