Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 403

[Chapter 403 Mortar Attack]

“Your Majesty, the fortress of King Yan looks really strange. It seems that it can accommodate more soldiers and artillery.” Gordan said to Enke through the gap between the trees.

“The king of Yan has always been despicable, so the construction of this fortress is also very despicable.” Enke said angrily.

Then he said: “However, the Khan ordered us to enter Yan County, even if the fortress is made of iron, we will take it this time.”

Gordan nodded, and said to the general behind him, “Lead the servants up. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, only the sound of “huhu” was heard.

The shells are wrapped in a gust of wind, and a hundred black spots are getting bigger and bigger in their eyes.

“Dodge.” Gordon shouted.

At this moment, all the servants immediately dispersed and ran back and forth.

But even so, some Beidi soldiers were still hit by artillery.

“Damn it!” A miserable cry came from the team, and Gordan cursed fiercely.

Then he said: “Your Majesty, pull our guns out and let them taste the power of our artillery.

” When our Beidi warriors are on the ground, we will use artillery, and good iron must be used on the blade.” Enke said.

At this time, the fire was lit up on the wall of the bastion again, and Gordan dodged again. He looked at the bastion in front of him and shouted: “Come on, anyone who retreats will be killed.”

Under his order, the servants seemed to be desperate rushed to the bastion.

During this period, they experienced the cruelty of Enke, and they knew very well that if they did not rush, they would definitely die by the swords of Beidi people.

And in order to prevent them from escaping, Enke also left their wives and children in the grassland.

“kill!”

Roaring, the servants rushed towards the bastion carrying the ladder.

At the same time, Beidi archers continued to shoot arrows at the top of the city to provide them with cover.

“It’s servant soldiers again!” On the bastion, Chang Wei frowned.

This is an old routine of Beidi people.

First use the servant soldiers to consume, and then let the real Beidi soldiers go.

Although he knew that many of these servants were Songren, they were now enemies.

This is a kind of sadness. If they hadn’t lost Ningjindusi back then, there wouldn’t be so many Songren servants in the Beidi Army.

And now, even though they knew they were Song people, they had to kill them.

“The mortars attack!”

Thinking of this, Chang Wei felt a little aggrieved, but there is no kindness in war.

“Yes, General.” Tang Qing responded, and passed on the order, “Blow up these enemies to me.”

Zhao Xu observed the battlefield. Beidi people’s bows and arrows kept falling on the city wall, and some soldiers were shot and injured.

There are many nails in the mortar shell this time, which is the most primitive shotgun shell, as long as it explodes, it will kill a lot of enemies.

Moreover, the parabolic drop of the mortar can also directly attack the enemy hiding in the woods, unlike the smoothbore shells that will be blocked by trees.

The soldiers in charge of the mortar were ordered to immediately adjust the length of the cork according to the distance, then loaded it into the mortar, and aimed at Beidi servants and archers one after another.

“Let go!” an order came.

Fifty mortars fired shells simultaneously.

The Beidi archers who were shooting saw many black spots in the sky, and immediately hid behind the big tree.

“Boom, boom…”

It’s just that they were wrong, these black things suddenly exploded four or five meters above their heads.

The nails in the shot flew out like flowers scattered by a goddess, and immediately many Beidi soldiers screamed.

Many Beidi soldiers were shocked, but some of the shells exploded too late and fell to the ground.

Beidi soldiers looked at the chubby things on the ground with ghost-like expressions.

It’s just that their doubts ended with a loud bang.

The powerful impact and thick smoke instantly enveloped the nearby Beidi soldiers, and Beidi soldiers within a radius of ten meters fell down one after another.

The nails that flew out from the shotgun explosion, the iron beads mixed with the stench of stool quickly permeated the air.

These are some special shotgun shells specially made by the Bing Zhansi, which are similar to Beidi’s arrows touched with dung.

The Beidi soldiers in the center of the explosion were blown to pieces, and the soldiers on the periphery were almost injured and fell to the ground crying.

The Beidi soldiers were so frightened that they withdrew.

At this time, the second wave of shot was thrown by the mortar again, and the wounded soldiers who had no time to escape were torn apart in another explosion.

“Good fight! Hahaha…” Chang Wei laughed loudly from the city wall.

The unexpected attack of the mortar caused the Beidi archers to retreat one after another, and the servants who lost their cover became living targets for the soldiers of the palace.

They aimed their artillery at the servants, the sound of “Boom” sounded, and the shells of the smoothbore guns rained on them, and the screams continued.

Enke got up from the ground in embarrassment.

The continuous huge explosions made him terrified to death, and Gordan’s face was also pale.

“What is this?” Enke panicked.

Compared with artillery, this kind of explosive thing scares him more.

Because the distance was very close, he felt the slight vibration of the ground caused by the explosion, and he almost thought that he was going to die here just now.

“King Yan must have a new firearm.” Gordan said, “This cunning little fox.”

Enke said: “Even so, this will not scare the warriors of our Black Iron King’s Tent and let the soldiers continue to attack.”

Gordan nodded, even if King Yan was a god, they will fight to the end this time.

The battle lasted from noon to night, and Beidi drove out wave after wave of servant soldiers. The bastion was soon filled with the corpses of servant soldiers. The setting sun was like blood, which made the scene even more bleak.

In the evening, Zhao Xu watched the retreating servants slam the city wall.

“Up to now, even Beidi soldiers haven’t hurt even a few furs. They are all servant soldiers!”

Chang Wei comforted: “Your Highness, this is Beidi’s usual method of war. It can only exhaust the opponent and cause heavy losses. They will attack.” Looking at Yanshan Mountain shrouded in the   sunset

, Zhao Xu nodded, and he said: “Forget it, we will drag them, and Chen Hu and Zhong Li will make them pay the price.”

Wei immediately asked the soldiers to deliver the shells, eat and rest. This battle will not end in a day or two.

Moreover, what happened during the day was only Beidi’s tentative attack, and the real bloody battle came later, he knew this very well.

After all, Beidi’s artillery has never appeared.

However, judging from today’s battle, his confidence in this defensive battle has greatly increased, and he is very satisfied with the role played by the mortar.

As King Yan said.

These throwable shells make the battlefield have no dead ends, and they can hit enemies hiding anywhere.
