Xu Tong smiled and jumped for joy in his heart, and his face turned red.
The two men then talked for a while about whether Zhang Yuejing took him to the artillery position.
The artillery position is set in the former enemy area for fear that Song Jun’s military camp will also be equipped with large-scale crossbow super long-range weapons. This distance does not guarantee that the artillery will be absolutely safe even if Song Jun’s crossbow will not fire bombs.
Despite this, Zhang Yuejing also prepared some defensive facilities for artillery positions because of the brilliant record of Song Jun’s killing marshal Liao with a crossbow.
After Xu Tong arrived at the artillery position, he was shocked to see a copper and iron behemoth more than ten feet long.
He immediately stroked the gun body and took a look here and there. His face was full of curiosity.
"How heavy is this general gun?"
Xu Tong looked at the Flying Tigers commanded by the Shenji Camp.
Flying Tiger laughed and said, "There are even more than 2,000 kilos, and some heavy general guns weigh as much as 3,000 kilos. Generally, they need to be transported by ship, water or land. If they need special large vehicles, they will not move at all."
"God, that heavy?"
Xu Tong was shocked. "How much iron does it take to cast it? Is it really powerful? "
"Quite a lot is specially prepared for Xiangyang, which is a strong city."
Before the flying tiger, he stroked the gun body and said, "Xu Shishuai can save it for a day’s battle if he is not in a hurry. We will show you and the artillery launcher he has never seen what it takes to build this new type of firearm."
Xu Tong looked at the Song Junjun Village faintly visible in the distance, and it was almost unclear that Xiangyang City and Fancheng were full of yearning in their hearts.
"Well, I’ll stay and see if this cannon is really that powerful!"
The attack of the Magic Battalion is scheduled for the fifth day of April. According to the plan, the Magic Battalion will be divided into three parts to advance to Fancheng from three directions. First, the artillery will be used to destroy the defense facilities around Fancheng, and the Song Junjun Village around Fancheng will create opportunities for the main force of Henan Corps in the back.
After the attack, it was handed over to the Shenji Camp and the Shenji Camp artillery. After the elite of the Henan Corps rode, it was protected to prevent Song Jun from jumping over the wall and taking the initiative.
According to the scheduled plan, the Shenji camp will destroy the Song Jun Army Village around Fancheng in about three days, destroy the General Village, and the soldiers will defeat Fancheng.
After the siege of Fancheng was completed, almost another army broke the enemy and arrived. They would attack from the east and arrive at the east of Xiangyang City through the cupboard door, so that the army completed the siege of Xiangfan City on three sides and left the mountains in the west.
"Three days?"
Xu Tong didn’t listen to the military arrangement, but was puzzled by this figure.
"Yes, it takes three days, and the magic camp can destroy the Song Junjun village around Fancheng."
Flying Tiger is very confident about this.
Xu Tong reserved his opinion with a grain of salt.
I want to break my head, but I can’t think of a quick breakthrough. Can Shenji Camp do it?
In the evening, Xu Tong ate at the camp of Shenji.
Then he found that the food of Henan Corps was really good. The menu that night was braised pork, pork vegetable soup and cooking cakes. The soldiers were very happy to eat meat and cakes. Xu Tong himself took a bowl of meat and found that it was really delicious.
"Is our food good?"
The flying tiger sat beside Xu Tong and swallowed a lot of fat meat with a satisfied face.
"It’s really good. Although we can have a full stomach there, it’s still rare to eat meat. Although we have a lot of goats, we mainly produce milk and make cheese, and we seldom eat meat."
Xu Tong also swallowed a large piece of meat belly and felt great satisfaction.
"When I first joined the army, I was almost able to eat enough. How can I have such good conditions now?"
Flying Tiger rolled a piece of cake and stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and chewed it, then laughed. "But at that time, I also felt quite good. I just need to be able to eat enough. Now I am eating better and better, and eating meat regularly is never in short supply. It’s really hard to think about it in the past."
Of course, it will be better in the future. There is no condition in your place now, but after the first world war, Jinghu and Jiangxi will become one. Then the peasant army will be our big army and a Jiangxi Corps will be set up. Then we will all eat the same food and eat meat. "
This is another big piece of fat and thin braised pork swallowed by the flying tigers.
"that’s a must!"
Xu Tong felt excited and satisfied in his heart. This feeling stimulated him to eat two bowls of meat, a bowl of soup and seven pieces of kitchen cakes one night, and his belly would swell up.
The next morning, it was sunny, and Xu Tong had a breakfast with the soldiers of Shenji Camp. After eating the kitchen cake, meat and soup last night, he was about seven points full and began to prepare for the army at any time.
The drums and horns kept blowing, and the whole offensive part of the army entered a state of first-class combat readiness
Today, the main force participating in the war is the Magic Battalion, and the Magic Battalion attacked Fancheng defense circle from three directions in one minute. Xu Tong followed the Flying Tigers to attack Fancheng defense circle from the north.
Chapter 146 The cannon opens and blows his mother.
The flying tigers in the north direction of Fancheng defense circle set up nine general guns and twenty-five vehicles to ride general guns.
Hundreds of gunners have prepared for launch in an orderly manner according to their respective gun groups, which can be regarded as experienced gunners. They adjust their shooting angles according to their own rhythm.
They are faced with many Song Jun military camps with traffic roads, waterways and hills.
Most of these military camps are simple fortresses, with a relatively strong external defense department equipped with arrow towers, watchtowers, bed crossbows, strong crossbows and other long-range strike weapons, and equipped with a certain number of firearms to attack approaching attacking troops from afar.
The military’s response to this is to give full play to the advantages of artillery and reduce the dimension of Song Jun’s military village.
Feeling strange and curious about all this, Xu Tong said nothing and honestly listened to his orders with the Flying Tigers to see if he dared to give him trouble.
Time went by little by little, and soon it was time to prepare for the attack, and the gunners also completed the preparation for firing.
The general gun has a larger effective range, and the first one to be launched is the general gun.
After the general gun destroyed the external defense of Song Jun’s military camp and caused the defenders to panic, the general gun rode into its predetermined range and launched a round of shooting at the remaining residue of the military camp and Song Jun.
The purpose of fast and effective gun shooting is to completely destroy the defensive facilities of Song Jun’s army camp, which will be turned into a pile of ruins and completely lose the ability to fight back
By this time, the soldiers and musketeers will start to move forward, wipe out the remnants of the enemy, kill the remaining Song Jun soldiers and set up new artillery positions to create conditions.
Then there is a round of general gun relocation and shooting.
