From Soldier To Emperor - Chapter 420

through! through!

The dull launch sound resounded across the battlefield, and when a military academy of the Han family who was lying behind the castle heard this sound, the experienced turned around and planned to change his position on his stomach.

He was a low-level officer recruited by the Han army among the 40,000 defeated troops. He was quickly promoted to a frontline lieutenant because he fought with the Ming army. Compared to his previous rank, he was already a company jump. It’s a pity that this lieutenant did not Not feeling lucky…

Because he is commonly known by the officers of the Han family as “Send the Death Captain”!

The chief military officer in each small earthen fort was a school lieutenant. In addition to being unable to retreat, Han Shizhong gave these school lieutenants great powers so that they could resist the Ming army.

And every Tubao colonel knew that for every additional day they resisted, they would get the same amount of reinforcement as the Tubao garrison from the rear!

This is the focus of maintaining the fortress system.

After all, they are not the Yue family army, and they don’t have such a high level of awareness and morale. If there are not enough reinforcements, they will fall apart in a short time, and even voluntarily surrendered to the city!

Of course, since everyone knew that the Ming army was either sent to farm in the bitter cold areas of the Western Regions or sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder, so everyone was very less motivated to surrender.

The Song army will not surrender until they are defeated, they are more willing to run away!

These news were spread by the Shazhou army officers and soldiers who had become regulars.

However, in the face of death, even if these Song army officers and soldiers are reluctant to surrender, whether it is Han Jiajun Yang Jiajun or the local garrison troops, they are all the same…

They are fundamentally different from the Yue Family Army. They have nothing to do with courage, but do not understand why they are fighting!

The reason why the Yue Family Army was able to fight so well was not because the officers and soldiers had excellent physical fitness, but because their morale was so terrifying!

The vast majority of the officers and soldiers of the Yue family knew why they fought and had reasons to fight and sacrifice for it.

At the same time, Yue Fei would bury the sacrificed officers and soldiers every time and give their relatives a full pension, which also made the Yue family army unanimous.

This kind of military aspiration was not found in other troops of the Song Dynasty.

They are purely serving as soldiers and eating food. Even Han Shizhong and Yang Ye’s pro-military elites are only treated as family members, far less than diehards.

The biggest gap between them and Yue Fei is here!

Naturally, now this Tubao captain also has this mentality. He has seen the artillery of the Ming army, so he chose a safe place to lie down, and he didn’t worry that the enemy could hit him.

When the Ming army’s infantry rushed up, he would walk out of his safe den and wield a sword to drive the soldiers under his hand to fight.

And he himself would never take a step on the front line, and when he couldn’t stand it in front of him, the captain would immediately surrender to save his life!

He didn’t even think about escaping. He who had fought with the Ming army knew very well that the Ming army had always taken the knife and dropped to the fleeing soldiers who did not surrender, and showed no mercy.

There is no absolute certainty that it is safe to surrender.

This captain also thought about it. From the Song Army to the Shazhou Army and finally coming back, the rich war experience has long obliterated his ambition to rely on military merits to climb up.

War is not something ordinary people like him can afford, and he doesn’t think he will always be lucky.

I originally thought that from the surrender of the Shazhou Army to the Song Dynasty, I could go home and see the old mother. I didn’t expect the Song Dynasty to be more authentic than what Richard did. They were not even given the opportunity to farm, and they were forced to force them into the front of the defense line. !

The good name is to protect the home and defend the country!

The school lieutenant really wanted to vomit the face of the officer who arranged him, and then he said, “Protect you Malgobi family, defend your fairy Banban country…”

It’s really ironic that a group of military officers who are greedy for life and fear of death uttered the words “protecting the home and defending the country”…

Why do all the soldiers of the Yuejia Army scramble for the first place?

Because people from the general to the general military attache are all leading the charge, how can there be remote command in the rear?

However, just as the school lieutenant cursed in his heart for the military attaché who promoted himself and then kicked to the front, he suddenly felt the shaking of the earth from the entire castle!

At the same time, the screams of the soldiers screamed one after another!

The school lieutenant suddenly got out of the safe den. His position was a long way away from the front soil wall. How could he still feel such a terrifying shaking?

When the school lieutenant came to the scene of the incident, the whole person was stunned. If it weren’t for the surrounding soldiers, he couldn’t believe that this was fired by the artillery of the Ming army!

An entire wall of soil was bombarded by a shell!

This is not a question of a few holes, but a whole earth wall…

Is this really human work?

Undoubtedly, this is the result of the establishment of two 20-pound unicorn siege cannons, one of which was skewed and the other hit the target.

The 20-pound unicorn siege cannon is very close, so the hit rate is so high.

Anyway, the Song Army did not have artillery, and bombardment with a distance of several hundred meters could guarantee safety.

For artillery, the weight of the shell not only means that the caliber of the artillery is large, but also means that the charge is more!

All the power of artillery in this era comes from gunpowder~www.mtlnovel.com~ Naturally, the greater the charge, the greater the power, the longer the range.

But if you want a larger charge, you first need to increase the barrel thickness and chamber pressure, otherwise too much charge will only blow up the chamber and kill yourself.

This is why the larger the caliber, the heavier the weight and the greater the power.

The difference between the 20-pound unicorn siege cannon and the 12-pound field gun is far more than the apparent difference of eight pounds!

The eight pounds here is just the weight of a cannonball, but the artillery itself has been magnified several times or even ten times!

The fortress that can resist the bombardment of 6-pound cavalry guns is like a sand sculpture in the face of a 20-pound unicorn siege artillery.

As the second round of shelling sounded, the captain’s last line of defense completely collapsed. How could such a terrifying shell be resisted?

Is it possible that the Tubao fortress was destroyed by a blast against the Ming army?

Even Yue Fei died in the hands of the Ming army, he is a fart!

Therefore, without waiting for the second round of artillery bombardment, a white flag slowly floated from the fortress, and Richard once again set the time record for breaking the fortress.

In this way, relying on the power of two 20-pound unicorn siege cannons, the fragile defensive power of the fortress in front of it kept hitting the guarding Song army, and most of the Song army did not wait for the Ming army to start the attack. Can’t bear to raise the flag and surrender.

Even if they did not surrender, the fortress under the bombardment was quickly blasted into rubble, and the heavy-loss defenders could not stop even the Ming army from charging…

As a result, all the earthen fortresses resisted for less than a day, and naturally they could not wait for the arrival of reinforcements. The successively occupied earthen fortresses quickly aroused the vigilance of Han Shizhong and Yang Ye!

At the same time, news that the Ming army possessed a cannon with the power of’destroying the sky and destroying the earth’ began to spread in Sichuan.
