Chapter 732 The Battle Situation Expands!
There was a dull thud.
Yao Zheng was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
In an instant, the trebuchet let out a low roar like an angry beast, and the stone coated with fire oil was projected out, quickly over the top of the city, and actually hit the inside.
Wanyan Po Lu Huo happened to walk near the city wall. He looked up and saw a fireball falling from the sky.
At that moment, he was stunned.
"Please be careful..."
Everything was too late, there was no time to avoid it, the fireball hit a place only three meters away from Wanyan Polu Fire, and hit a Mou Ke (centurion).
Wanyanpo Lu Huo witnessed with her own eyes that Mou Ke's head exploded like a watermelon ripe in June.
After his body fell to the ground, the upper half of his body was bruised and bloody by the burning boulder.
The boulder bounced on the ground and continued to rush forward for a while. Fortunately, the people behind reacted and immediately separated a path.
However, five people were still killed.
Finally it stopped not far away, with flames still burning on it.
No one can get close at all.
Look at those people who were smashed to death. The bloody areas were burned black by the flames.
The stone slabs on the ground were also smashed and cracked.
A burning smell began to permeate the air.
Wanyan Po Lu Huo stayed there completely.
Wanyan Po Lu Huo is also a battle-hardened warrior who can easily charge into battle.
But this was the first time I experienced such a shocking scene.
Not only Wanyan Po Lu Huo was stunned, Yao Zheng was also confused.
Also confused with Yao Zheng was the artillery battalion of the Song Army. They had also played with trebuchets before, so they were very skilled in trebuchets, but this was the first time they had seen such a powerful trebuchet.
Yao Zheng: Is this a fucking trebuchet?
Of course, the Jin army guards at the top of the city were also confused.
Something beyond everyone's imagination suddenly appeared on the battlefield of life and death, and exploded with such terrifying power, which meant that the balance of war was no longer tilted!
Instead, it fell directly to the side of the Song Army.
"Quick! Quick!" Yao Zheng almost roared, "Quickly start all twenty trebuchets and smash me to death! Hit me to death!"
He was as excited as a child getting a new toy.
"Cheer up, everyone! Cheer up! Have you seen the top of the city? Hit the top of the city! Hit the top of the city!"
"yes!"
The artillery battalion of the Song Army suddenly became excited, and the soldiers even trembled all over.
They quickly began to work together to lift the boulders onto the track.
The entire artillery battalion was in action.
boom……
The second boulder was launched and still hit the city.
There was an obvious shout coming from the city.
"Smash it to the top of the city!" Yao Zheng roared, his face flushed and he jumped up excitedly, "Smash everyone to the top of the city!"
When the third one was sent out, it finally hit the top of the city.
There was a loud bang, several pieces of the battlements were cut off, and a shallow gap appeared on the wall. Then the boulder jumped in a seemingly impactful manner and hit a soldier on the top of the city.
Before he could shout, the soldier was knocked away and finally fell into the city, letting out bursts of shouts.
The fourth one, the fifth one, the sixth one...came one after another.
For a moment, it seemed as if God was angry and dropped meteorites to destroy the world.
This scene frightened the Jin Army at the top of the city to look miserable, and they covered their heads and shouted.
The Jin army near the gate of the city was also panicked. They had never seen such a terrifying scene.
Some people even shouted loudly: "It's a meteorite falling from the sky! It's a meteorite falling from the sky! God is angry!"
Boom boom boom...
Huge boulders hit the city head and inside the city one after another.
Just like when the Zhejia Army saw such a trebuchet for the first time, the Jin Army was like ants on a hot pot, and became a mess.
Even Wanyan Po Lu Huo himself had escaped without a trace.
This time, it was Zhang Xian's turn to try out the benefits of new weapons.
When Zhang Xian was attracted by the sound outside, he was also dumbfounded when he saw that scene.
After the Jin army was defeated, the Song army began to climb to the top of the city using the simplest ladders.
Now Yao Zheng has never mentioned anything about the goose cart.
He even ran to Li Chunsheng excitedly, slapped himself hard twice, and then laughed and said, "You have done a great job!"
To be precise, like Baode, Hejian City was captured within half a day.
Wanyan Po Lu Huo and his subordinate Ah Lan were captured alive.
Also captured alive along with Wanyan Po Lu Huo was Li Shuwang, the prefect of Hejian Prefecture.
Li Shuwang shouted: "Don't kill me, I know a secret!"
So this official who surrendered to the Jin Kingdom in the first year of Jingkang was brought to Zhang Xian.
"What secret do you know?"
"The main force of the Jin Army is about to move south. Wanyan Po Lu Huo received a letter from the Second Prince the day before yesterday. In less than half a month, the main force of the Jin Army will arrive in Hejian."
As soon as he said these words, everyone present felt their hearts tremble.
It's finally coming.
"Is it the second prince Zong Wang?"
"Yes!" Li Shuwang said, "The second prince personally led the army, with an army of 100,000, and Zong Han also came, and Zong Han also led an army of 100,000!"
"real?"
"This is a letter received by Po Luhuo. If even half of my words are false, I will die badly!"
Zhang Xian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The second prince Zong Wang led an army of 100,000 people?
That Zongwang was no ordinary person. In the first year of Jingkang, he led the Jin army to besiege the city of Tokyo for the first time.
He marched all the way south, and the Song army had almost no ability to resist.
Zhang Xian quickly started arranging for people to repair the city wall in Hejian, while writing letters to Yue Fei and Li Gang.
The main force of the Jin army is coming, which is not good news for the Song army, which has just experienced a tough battle.
On July 16, Hejian Mansion was completely controlled by the Song army.
The documents sent from Tokyo regarding the appointment of Yue Fei as the envoy of the General System of Hebei and the Two Routes also arrived at Yue Fei's camp, Li Que's camp in Zhaozhou, and even a copy was sent to Li Gang.
This is a comprehensive integration of Hebei's military forces.
This means that Yue Fei already has the power to mobilize the powerful resources of Daming Mansion.
Of course, this is far from enough.
No one knows how big the scale of this war will be.
In the past few days, wartime mobilization instructions have been issued intensively from the Government Hall, Military Council and even the Privy Council in Tokyo, and have been efficiently sent to various state capitals.
War clouds began to float across the land of Hebei.
Newspaper offices in various places also began to actively prepare for wartime mobilization.
It seems that everyone is getting nervous again.
However, there was a person very close to the front line. Not only was he not nervous, he was also very excited.
who?
Gao Qiu!
He met Liu Yun who was sent from Qizhou.
Liu Yun gave him a big gift. If this big gift was thrown into the Song Dynasty hall, a large piece of his head would probably fall off.
Gao Qiu felt that his visit to Hebei this time was not in vain.
