Chapter Forty-Seven: Is the Great Song Dynasty Cowardly? (Plus!) Ask for collection, ask for recommendation)
Guo Yaoshi is not wrong, there are indeed fewer hand-to-hand fighters in the Song army's infantry army!
The national policy of the Song Dynasty was actually based on defense, and the equipment of the troops and the allocation of various arms of the army also gave priority to defense. Specific to the infantry army, it is half of the crossbowmen in the soldiers, and the archers account for more than 30%, and the rest are swords and shields, spears, and knives and axes (long knife axes).
In other words, although Zhao Kai brought tens of thousands of infantry troops, there were no more than 800 professional hand-to-hand combat soldiers who could really wear infantry armor and charge into battle with long weapons. Now He Guan can muster 600 people to launch an attack, and he has really done his best.
He Guan's son, He Ji, also put on a step armor weighing dozens of pounds, and walked at the end of this 600-person phalanx with a few personal soldiers, with a flying look on his face.
Although he only had 600 armor soldiers on hand, he still had the confidence to win. Because the enemy's commander, Pharmacist Guo, is most likely dead! And there is also a king who dares to kill the enemy on his own side...... It even stimulated the morale of the troops to the maximum.
So now is the time to storm the camp gates!
As long as the camp gate is breached, the cavalry behind can follow up, and once the cavalry enters it, the Jin army camp will be in chaos!
And although the generals of the Song army are cowardly, all kinds of equipment are still very good. Taking advantage of the opportunity to send money to the door, Zhao Kai's army transported a lot of cannons and eight-bull crossbows, which are all sharp weapons for attacking the city!
"One, two, three...... Run! ”
The sound of the password came from behind He Guan, and he knew that this was the password when the cannon was fired.
The so-called cannons are stone generators, but they are not counterweights, but they are manually dragged ropes to pull the poles, and through the movement of the poles, ammunition such as stone bullets, earth bullets, tribulus fireballs and poison smoke balls are fireshots!
This time, the cannon was thrown by a high-tech weapon called the Tribulus Fireball!
This weapon is amazing, not only a firearm, but also a primitive chemical weapon! The shell is made of multi-layer paper, and the inside is filled with gunpowder, wolf venom, croton, grass aconite, arsenic and other poisons, and then sealed with external dressing. When using, first use a red-hot soldering cone to burn the spherical shell, and then use the tip cannon to eject until the enemy bursts and burns, and the poisonous gas is dispersed and the smoke is filled.
As dozens of poisonous smoke fireballs were thrown into the south gate of Jinying by the cannon, the vicinity of the south gate of Jinying was immediately flooded with choking black poisonous smoke.
"Hooray! Winning ......"
Seeing that the Jin army camp was full of poison, the 600 Song army infantry soldiers who were approaching the south gate of the Jin camp step by step cheered again, and at the same time accelerated their pace. They all covered their faces with black cloths, which could resist the choking poisonous smoke, so they had to take advantage of the opportunity for the poisonous smoke in front of them to dissipate, and rush forward in one go!
As long as you can rush forward and stab the opponent's infantry formation with a spear, these 600 infantry armor soldiers can show their might in the enemy formation!
The Song Dynasty's Buren armor was not something that everyone could wear, it was a heavy armor made of more than 1,800 pieces of iron, with a total weight of 58 Song Jin (almost 35 kilograms), and if you add the weight of spears, long knives, large axes, hammers and hand knives with short handles, plus the weight of drinking water and dry food. The weight of a step soldier can reach more than seventy catties casually!
Seventy Song Jin can actually carry the weight of ordinary people, but it is only for a short time, and when you go to the battlefield, it is not time to get off work! And you can't stand still stupidly on the battlefield, you have to carry a weight of seventy pounds to march, move, charge, retreat, and of course, fight with people. The physical exertion is huge, and if you are not a man with a big waist and a round waist, you can't be a foot soldier at all.
Therefore, these 600 invulnerable infantry armor soldiers, once they enter the enemy formation and start hand-to-hand combat, they are 600 killing gods!
He Guan's eldest son, He Ji, is a man with a big waist and a long and strong body, wearing a heavy step armor and holding a long-handled axe, he can still run fast. He did not take the lead alone, but led twenty or thirty giants with big axes like him to supervise the formation at the end of the line.
He was very tall, and even if he stood at the end of the line, he could see that the golden soldiers in the camp gate in front of him had been shrouded in poisonous smoke. And the screams they let out, the sound of violent coughing, and the roar that changed their voices all highlighted that they were disturbed by the poisonous smoke, startled by the surprise attack of the Song army, and had fallen into chaos.
Behind the golden soldiers' formation, there was a mess of horns and golden drums, and I couldn't hear what kind of signal was being conveyed at all, just beating desperately. This indicates that the command of the Jin army has been completely disorganized...... Guo Yaoshi and Guo Tiannu should have been shot by His Royal Highness King Yun!
Thinking that victory was in sight, everyone unconsciously accelerated their pace and struggled forward!
"Kill!"
As the 600 pace-man armor soldiers ignored the choking poisonous smoke, they let out a shout in unison, and the spears in the front two or three rows had been flattened, and the spears pierced into the chaotic golden infantry formation like a forest with the inertia of the infantry soldiers running.
These Jin soldiers were really not opponents, they were thrown into chaos by the foot soldiers, and they were stabbed to death and slashed to death.
In an instant, blood stained a large area of land within the south gate of the Jin army camp, and the sound of shouts and killings was also earth-shattering, and occasionally there were piercing screams and cries for help. As a row of horse-repelling pistols placed in front of the Jin Soldier Formation was moved away by the Song Army's infantry soldiers, the battle formations of the two sides were quickly mixed together. Fighting, no, a one-sided slaughter is about to take place in the blink of an eye.
"Okay, good fight, good fight......" Zhao Kai, who was supervising the battle in his own army formation, also shouted good, and commanded left and right while applauding, "Han Shizhong, Xiang Ke, are the Tiance cavalry ready?" ”
"That's it!"
"Just wait for the foot armor to kill the gold thief back, and we can kill it."
"Okay, the Lone King will rush with you!"
"The king is mighty!"
Of course, it is impossible to break through the Jin soldier camp garrisoned by tens of thousands of people with 600 foot soldiers, so at the same time as the foot soldier launched an attack, Han Shizhong, Xiang Ke and other generals of the Tiance cavalry have concentrated more than 3,000 horses, just waiting for the foot soldier to break the camp gate of the Jin army, and then they can go in and cut off people's heads!
Now, it's just one breath away from charging!
......
"Daddy, it's almost...... Let her daughter lead the team to fight for a while, so that she can get out of her bird spirit! ”
When Zhao Kai was about to invest his 3,000 Tiance cavalry to cut a wave of heads, Guo Tiannu, who was shot in the chest by him with an arrow and was not dead, was facing Guo Yaoshi with a blue face and asking for battle.
She was embarrassed to go home this time, not only was Zhao Kai moved by Zhao Kai's spring heart flickered by a queen, but also shot Zhao Kai in the chest with an arrow in front of so many people - the ever-winning goddess who has been horizontal for so many years was actually killed by Zhao Kai, the little white-faced king, although he was not killed, but Zhao Kai's murderous intent is visible to everyone!
Thinking of this, Guo Tiannu felt chest pain! It really hurts...... Although the sharp arrow shot by Zhao Kai did not penetrate the chain armor she was wearing and the cotton armor padded inside the chain armor. But it still caused a certain amount of damage, which was almost equivalent to Zhao Kai's punch and hit her in the chest! It hurts to think about, and it's humiliating!
Pharmacist Guo glanced at the girl who was about to explode, so he had no choice but to nod and order, "Be careful...... Don't rush too far, rush back and come back, the one surnamed Zhao also has cavalry, and there are more than us! ”
