Fu Song

Chapter 737 The Overthrowing Battle
Xia Song took off the cannon cover covering the cannon, and the cannon body shone with a faint cold light under the moonlight.Xia Erlang took a long-handled brush and brushed the cannon barrel again.The smooth as new cannon barrel can better let the gunpowder exert its power and can shoot the cannonball farther.Another team member came over with a cloth bag, carefully poured the gunpowder into it, and then pressed it down carefully with a long-handled mallet, while the other person came over with a solid bullet and loaded the shell into it. go in.

Everything is ready for launch.

Xia Song and the others are veteran gunners, and they do all this smoothly. When they are ready for everything, most of the other artillery around them are still far behind.

Xia Song estimated that according to their current speed, with the effort of his artillery crew to fire three shots, they could hit one shot at most.

This speed is really worrying.

The gunners of the Song army in the city were not vegetarians, and they were bound to be much more successful than the gunners of Daliao.

Because the artillery itself was passed from them to Daliao.

As long as the Song Army's artillerymen have the same ability as their own, as long as their artillery is half as much as their own, as long as they can organize a counterattack in a timely manner, can this battle really be won?

Xia Song was a little worried.

At this time, he suddenly heard a faint sound of a drum.

The four of Xia Song did not die either.

Originally, he wanted to hide until dark, and then escape with a few people.

In the camp of the Qi army, Chen Tiansong and Chen Tianbai huddled together on a sentry tower more than ten feet high, looking at the place where the flames were soaring into the sky in the distance.

He said to himself in his heart.

He saw a thrown gunpowder pack explode in mid-air, and then, like fireworks blooming on New Year's Eve, it rained down.

The reason Xia Song can probably think of is that too many people died here.Song people are throwing all the dead bodies into these ready-made trenches, and then filling these trenches with soil is considered a complete job.

At that moment just now, the flickering flames he saw were so densely packed that it was impossible to count them.

Zhang Ren looked at all this in horror, and murmured: "This, what is this?"

Yes, Xia Song saw the flames first, and one after another the cannons flashed over the top of the city. After the flames, he heard the thunderous roar.

That sea of ​​flames was slowly forming in front of his eyes.

"Devil's fire? How do we have it?"

Something fell from the entrance of the cave, and rolled in, until it reached Xia Erlang's feet.

The other party had a target in mind, and had marked their area in advance.

Gao Yingxiang who was beside him took a look at him and said meaningfully: "Yes, he's really pretty, but if you take a closer look, you'll think he's even more beautiful."

Xia Song, who got into the hole, half squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands, and his head was caught between his legs.

As an old gunner, he knew it was over.

"The last general takes orders!" Chen Tiansong took the thin letter paper with both hands, opened it to check the seal inside, and carefully put it in his arms: "Please report to General Gao, the last general will definitely live up to his mission!"

Then, there was a thunderous drum sound.

"If you forget about yourself because you think we have made great achievements, then you will bring us death!" Chen Tiansong urged again.

He watched helplessly as his tens of thousands of elite soldiers were trapped in this sea of ​​flames, and the number of people who could escape from this sea of ​​flames was less than one in ten.

There is no need.

"Understood!" Chen Tianbai said.

The artillery fire of the Song army stopped for a while, and then their shooting distance began to shrink.

Some became a burning man, struggled to run forward for a certain distance, and then fell down.

The earth is shaking.

The whole position was in chaos.

When the firework falls to the ground, it will naturally go out.

Above the city tower, Zhang Ren watched all this excitedly.

He dropped his weapon, rolled into a ball, and cried bitterly on the ground.

There are many trenches here, but unfortunately, a group of Song soldiers happened to choose this one of them. As heavy objects continued to fall into the trenches, Xia Song knew that if they didn't go out, they would be buried alive here.

His personal soldiers carried him and ran to the rear.

Xia Song grabbed the head and threw it out.

"Gunner!" Xia Erlang shouted with a sobbing voice.

"General, someone is coming from the city!" Someone shouted from below.

"Yeluzhen lost!" Chen Tianbo said: "Brother, it is precisely because we provided the Liao army with detailed attack time and layout that they can win so easily!"

Just like now, he only saw sporadic artillery flying out of his own artillery position, and then, there was nothing more.

This battle has been lost so badly that it cannot be lost again.

One after another, and then they became one piece, and the order of the front and back could no longer be distinguished.

Yeluzhen didn't cry, but his eyes were bleeding, his nose was bleeding, and his mouth was bleeding too.

The location of the bombing this time was the area where the Liao army was heavily concentrated.

"There are still Liao soldiers here, and there are still Liao soldiers!" Someone shouted outside.

Not only to leave Xuzhou, but now people have to find a way to leave Jianghuai as soon as possible.

Accompanied by the sound of drums, there are clusters of fire.

When Song Jun left the city, the sky was already bright.

Zhang Ren saw that the Youliao man had turned into a burning man, screaming, running, and rolling on the ground. Someone threw dirt on him, but the fire didn't go out at all, but burned more and more.Some people on fire jumped into the puddles. There were puddles dug in these trenches, but when the man jumped into the puddles, it seemed that even the water burned.

The whole stone castle was shaking left and right, and it seemed that it might collapse at any moment. Yeluzhen leaned forward, digging at the edge of the stone with both hands, her nails were scratched, and the blood flowed out without knowing it.

No matter how powerful personal force is, under the bombardment of cannons, it will not be worth mentioning.

More and more of these fires started to burn, starting to join together.

God, this is the future of the war!

The Song Army's artillery itself was of better quality than Daliao's artillery, with a longer range and more powerful shells. When both sides were bombarded, Daliao had no room to fight back.

But the voice from outside made him change his mind.

They're filling up the area.

Then under the pressure of knives, guns and crossbows, the four of Xia Song climbed out fearfully, and immediately they were knocked down and tied up.

Once started, never stopped.

If they don't want to become captives, they must retreat immediately.

In front, his artillery position, he has assembled hundreds of artillery pieces, hundreds of crossbows, all of them are shrouded in a sea of ​​flames, and in the shining flames, you can see artillery, crossbows, and people from time to time. He was thrown high into the air, and then crashed to the ground again.

The ground began to tremble.

Two days ago, he decided to choose this place as the main attack direction. All the artillery was almost delivered yesterday, and today, the main force has just assembled here, but Song Jun seems to have known that he will choose this place for a long time. As a breakthrough point, they also concentrated all their artillery to this place and launched an attack first.

Gao Yingxiang patted him on the shoulder: "From now on, show some respect to the lunatics in this Academy of Sciences. This kind of devil's fire was created by one of these lunatics. Don't offend them, who knows that they will do it again in the future." Come out with some other weird things!"

He saw the fire, and it burned in patches under the city.

There were screams from outside, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. On the top of the cave, the soil was about to fall down, covering everyone. If they hadn't come here, they had reinforced the cave with wood Together, this hole is probably going to collapse now.

Xia Erlang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly cried out.

Xia Song screamed: "Hide, hide!"

Xia Song raised his head and saw that Xuzhou City suddenly lit up.

"Send the order, send the order immediately, the troops assembled in front, quickly retreat, quickly retreat!" Suddenly remembering something, Yeluzhen clenched her fists and shouted loudly.

"Don't panic, as long as you hide here and don't go out, you won't die!" Xia Song said: "When the shelling is over, let's run back! Squat honestly now."

"Of course I know, there are a lot of lunatics in it, doing things that are not human affairs. And each of them got a doctor's official title." Zhang Ren said.

"These things must be kept secret, and they must not be leaked out like artillery. I don't want my soldiers to be ignited like this in the future!" Zhang Ren said.

When hundreds of cannons fired in clusters, this spectacular scene seemed to be engraved in his mind.

One or two Pyromen may not be able to move them, who have experienced many battles and climbed out of the dead, but when hundreds or thousands of such Pyromen are struggling in front of their eyes, no matter how tough they are, Nerves were also shattered at this moment.

"It's so beautiful!" He exclaimed sincerely.

It was the Song people cleaning the battlefield.

The raging sea of ​​flames could still be clearly seen from such a long distance.

Everyone knows that once the sky is bright, the Song army will inevitably attack on a large scale.

Countless people are running and shouting,
Then they fell down piece by piece and never got up again.

"We surrender, we are Han Chinese, don't kill us!" Xia Song pushed away the floating soil and some stumps outside the cave, leaned out half of his body, and shouted loudly.

It was the head of a person, with both eyes falling out, but still connected in the eye sockets, staring at Xia Erlang like this.

Xia Erlang and the other two gunners heard Xia Song's roar, subconsciously lowered their bodies, and got into their reinforced hiding cave. The moment Xia Song got in, he even ignited his own bronze door. Cannon twister.

"Your Majesty!" the guards beside him shouted in fear as they saw Yeluzhen biting her lip and bleeding profusely.

But when he saw the personal guard rushing into the bunker, and saw the pale and frightened face of the other party, a great ominous feeling immediately surrounded him.

Ugudu and the others have already run under the city wall. They huddled in a blind spot, watching a sea of ​​flames form where they stayed before, watching their comrades struggling in the sea of ​​flames, screaming , and fell to the ground.

Xia Song sighed and gave up the cleanup.

The first group of people who became captives, those people from the ancient city of Uzbekistan, when they found them, all of them curled up and sat against the city wall. They didn't respond to the Song army who surrounded them. When they were strung together, no one resisted, and they were led away by Song Jun like a group of walking dead.

"So what?" Chen Tiansong said: "Tianbai, don't think that we can be unscrupulous because we have made great contributions. You must know that our value is decreasing now. I never expected that the people of Song Dynasty would give us higher respect." Reward, I just hope that the Song people can keep their promise to me at the beginning. In order to make this promise come true, the two of us brothers will work harder to fight the Liao army and kill as many Liao troops as possible. Changfeng, on the other side of Micheng, we must also work hard to cooperate with Zheng Zhihu and Liu Yiguo who are fighting across the sea, so that we can retreat unscathed."

"After the devil from hell, as long as it is burned, it will not be extinguished unless it is burned out. Even bones can be burned!" Gao Yingxiang said lightly: "I said, the elite of the Liao army in this area, don't even think about it." run out!"

Zhang Ren was a little puzzled, but he immediately discovered the unusualness of these fireworks.

Yeluzhen couldn't figure it out.

There was another loud bang, this time, a section of the cannon barrel fell outside their cave.

But at the entrance of the Tibetan soldier's cave, another severed hand fell, and then another thigh fell down with a bang.

Whether it is good fortune or luck, it will no longer exist in the face of such an attack.

"Do you know the Academy of Sciences established with the strong support of the capital?"

Why can Song Jun find his artillery position so accurately.

"Search all the tunnels, search all the caves where soldiers are hidden!" An officer from the Song Dynasty issued a military order.

The trebuchet is still throwing such gunpowder packets into that area continuously.

Chen Tiansong responded, and quickly slid down holding the pole behind him. A Du Yuhou of the Song Army bowed to him, and handed over a letter with both hands: "General Chen, Taiwei Gao orders, at this time , General Chen can use his troops to attack the Liao people!"

Yeluzhen woke up without waiting for his own soldiers to call him.When the first cannon fired, he jumped to his feet.I was still cursing in my heart who didn't obey the order and fired first.

But these fireworks landed, not only did not stop, but burned more and more fiercely.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Xia Song breathed a sigh of relief, since he didn't kill them on the spot, there is a high probability that they would not be killed.

I have never heard of Song Jun beheading for meritorious deeds.

It seems that life is not a problem, but I don't know what will happen in the future.

Most people in Song used towels around their mouths and noses, but Xia Song and the others did not have this kind of treatment anymore. The peculiar smell came to their noses. It was only at this time that they felt that when they looked around, they were horrified. His hairs stood on end, his legs were so stiff that he could hardly walk.
