Chapter one hundred and nineteen
"Thank you, General."
There was a layer of cold sweat behind Liu Jun, and he really didn't notice the shell.
"Your Highness, let's go back." Su Jin advised.
The battlefield was too dangerous, and he was afraid that Liu Jun would have a few things.
"No, if I retreat, the morale of the soldiers will be even lower." Liu Jun said.
Facing the 200,000 army, saying that they are not afraid of those who deceived them at that time.
In the past two days, he could see that the soldiers did not have much confidence.
If Su Jin had not been strict in his military administration, he would have been afraid that some soldiers would have fled.
At this moment of shelling, many soldiers were so scared that they squatted behind the walls, covering their ears and trembling.
Some soldiers wanted to run down the wall, but after looking at him, they took back their steps.
Seeing this scene, he felt that he could not retreat.
Otherwise, once you retreat, it will be difficult to save the situation.
Breaking free from Su Jin's hand, he squatted under the wall to avoid shelling.
At this time, he called Han Kang and said, "Let all the gunners be in place, and wait for my order later. After the conscience-free cannon is fired first, you will destroy all the artillery of the Fuyu people."
"Yes, Your Highness." Han Kang responded, lowered his body, ran along the wall, notifying every gunner.
Facing the shelling, Su Jin had no choice but to be stopped by the other party's shelling.
However, the people of Fuyu were obviously careless this time, as if they were sure that there were no artillery in the city, so they actually sent the artillery to such a close place.
The two continued to wait, and Liu Jun looked at the filling and shooting of Fuyu cannons through the wall from time to time.
When an opponent's artillery fired more than 30 shells in succession, the sound of the cannon gradually stopped.
"It's time for the cannon to cool down." Liu Jun said to Su Jin.
Su Jin also used artillery. At that time, the imperial court's artillery fired for about ten consecutive shots and had to rest for half an hour.
The Fuyu people's artillery fired more than thirty consecutive cannons, which was even more than the Fuyu people used before, which surprised him a little.
"The artillery of the Fuyu people is stronger than before." Su Jin and Liu Jun stood up at the same time.
Sure enough, the artillery soldiers of the Fuyu people were cleaning the cannon chambers.
After cleaning up, they all stood behind the cannons and stopped bombarding.
Liu Jun was also puzzled. Although the artillery of Fuyu people, such as those made by Jingzhou, was obviously much better than those of Rongchao.
But now is obviously not the time to dig into this.
Because the densely packed Fuyu infantry carried the ladder and began to rush towards the city wall.
"Prepare, prepare, prepare everything!" Su Jin shouted loudly.
The commander and the captain also stood up from the base of the city wall.
They threw the battlements knocked down by shells on the walls and carried the injured and dead soldiers down.
Although this artillery bombardment did not cause fatal damage to the city walls, it basically smashed all the walls.
On the front of the city wall, blue bricks peeled off in large areas in some places.
If the people of Fuyu really bombarded for more than a month, the city wall would be really hard to hold on.
Fuyu people camped.
Tuoba Huo and Jiang Shunchen leisurely watched the first batch of 6,000 Fuyu soldiers climbing the city.
The artillery fire just now made them very satisfied. It felt good that the other party could not fight back.
"Dos' artillery is good. After you go back, you will report to the emperor and buy more." Tuoba Huo rubbed his hands, his face full of pride.
"More than 4,000 taels per cannon is too expensive." Jiang Shunchen frowned. The more than 100 cannons were more than 500,000 taels.
Tuoba Huo shook his head, "General, the account cannot be calculated like this. If we use these cannons to attack Jingzhou, we will get the property of the Prince Jing's child, and the money for the cannon will be earned back."
Jiang Shunchen nodded, "It's just a bit boring, but it's a bit too easy to win."
At this time, the soldiers carrying the ladder were less than one hundred meters away from the city.
For him, the Jingzhou army, which had been scared by artillery, could not resist this wave of attack at all.
On the city wall.
Su Jin's hands were a little white, "Your Highness, why don't you hit me?"
"What's the hurry? Let's talk about it when they set up the ladder." Liu Jun looked calm.
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow flew past the city with a "swoosh".
When the two looked, they saw that the Fuyu people sent a large number of archers to shoot arrows less than 200 meters away from the city wall.
"The ancient version of firepower suppression." Liu Jun said intimately.
He looked at the position of the unconscienced cannon, and the gunners hid safely behind the sandbags, and the arrows could not pose a threat to them, which made him feel at ease.
"General, aren't you still fighting?" Commander Chen Xian rushed to Su Jin, his eyes red.
If the Fuyu people were allowed to climb up the city wall, there would be no need to fight this battle.
Su Jin was also full of anger. If it were before, he would not have believed Liu Jun.
But he believed in Liu Jun a little, so he was very conflicted.
"Wait a little longer." Su Jin glanced at Liu Jun and sighed.
It is dangerous for enemy soldiers to rush up to the city wall because it can cause chaos.
Once chaos arises, the soldiers on the city wall are unable to kill and injure the soldiers under the city, resulting in more enemy soldiers climbing onto the city wall and eventually losing control of the city wall.
"Nothing!" Chen Xian saw that the Fuyu soldiers were at the city, so anxious.
At this time, you don’t care about your superiors and inferiors. “General, you are in the battlefield and you are still making trouble with Your Highness. How can he know how to fight a war if he is only fourteen years old?"
"Shut up!" Su Jin shouted angrily, "As a soldier, you only need to obey orders. Your Highness joins the army, and I can only obey the orders!"
"Oh!" Chen Xian threw his helmet heavily and returned to his guard position.
Liu Jun was not angry, it was normal.
In such critical situations, he still causes trouble and does not cause trouble, and normal people will be anxious.
Not only Chen Xian, but also commanders such as Yang Jian and Huang Chong also looked at him and Su Jin with anxious faces.
But he is not as hot as Chen Xian, and he can still bear it.
"kill!"
The sound of the soldiers shouting for killing in Fuyu became louder and louder.
With a "click", a ladder suddenly leaned against the city wall, and one end of the ladder was exposed above Liu Jun.
"Your Highness!" Su Jin finally couldn't help it.
Seeing the opportunity, he shouted loudly: "Han Kang, fire!"
"Fire the gun!" Han Kang had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
In Jingyang City, they not only received artillery training, but also received shooting training with unconscienced cannons.
Others don't know, but he knows the abnormality of this thing.
"fire!"
"fire!"
"fire!"
“…”
The gunner shouted, passing the orders one by one.
At the same time, a gunner closest to Liu Jun stuffed the gunpowder bag into the conscience cannon and ignited the lead.
At the same time, the deputy gunner lit the lead of the unconscience-free gun.
The gunpowder in the cannon burned, and the explosive pack was thrown out with a "bang".
After about two hundred meters of flying, the explosive pack fell among the charge of Fuyu soldiers. At this time, the leads were just burning out.
"boom!"
The explosive pack exploded, and the loud thunderous sound made people's eardrums tremble.
Even though it was more than 200 meters away, Liu Jun could still feel the slight vibration of the city wall.
He and Su Jin stood up and looked to the center of the explosion.
I saw a pillar of smoke flying into the air, and within 20 meters of the radius of the explosion center, Fuyu soldiers fell.
In the telescope, except for the soldiers at the center explosion point flying everywhere.
The soldiers who were a little farther away had no wounds, but were bleeding from all seven orifices at this time.
