Chapter Ninety-Six: What a Ruthless Jurchen! (Ask for collection, ask for recommendation)
It's so miserable, it's a string of killings!
The same is to die on the battlefield, others are to become benevolent and become gods and martyrs, but Han Funu only feels that the old brothers under his hands can only be "in a string...... Because they can't become benevolent, and they can't become heroes. Because they are all traitors to the country and betrayed the "deeds" of their ancestors.
For example, he Han Funu was called Yelu Funu in the Great Liao Kingdom at that time, because the "Yutian Han" of his branch was given the surname of the Khitan country, and he was no longer a Han. Moreover, the court of the Yelu family really treats them as a heartfelt nation, and all kinds of treatment are comparable to the authentic Yelu Emperor family!
But he followed his immediate boss, Yelu Yujian, who was born in the Yelu royal family, betrayed Da Liao and the Yutian Han family. Now it is also used by the Jurchens as a meat shield against crossbow guns...... This has to be pierced, will the soul dare to see the ancestors after death? Is there still a face to the west? I'm afraid I can only be a lonely ghost forever!
Thinking that he was a lot old, he was still beautiful when he was young, but he might have to "form a string" when he came, Han Funu was really unwilling to the extreme.
I knew that today, I should have resolutely gone to the grassland to cast Yelu Dashi!
That's what the descendants of King Wenzhong (Han Derang), who helped the son of heaven and slept with the queen mother, should do!
It's a pity that Han Funu has no chance now. Because a full 2,000 female real soldiers followed him and his subordinates, if they dared to escape, the Jurchen heavy arrow was not vegetarian.
Moreover, Han Funu's location avoided the front of the twenty eight-bull crossbows, so the probability of him "forming a string" was not high, and there was a high probability that he would continue to live in the world...... It's better to live than to "skewer"!
Just when Han Funu wanted to continue, he didn't realize that greater danger was coming!
Two rows of Divine Arm archers, the front row is half-kneeling, the back row is upright, and the 1,000 Divine Arm Bows in their hands have been flattened, and they are all aimed at the gap between the golden soldiers and shields in front...... Because after the waves of crossbow guns were fired, there were many strings, and the screams of dying also sounded in the Khitan front, and the bloody temperature also drifted in front of the battle, plus a string of bodies rolling in a pool of their own blood, which caused great chaos in the Khitan front. The shield array, which could barely be formed, was loosened.
But the Jurchens behind them urged them to move forward quickly, and the sound of the military horn for their lives was like a burst.
The Khitans, who were forced to be helpless, had no choice but to speed up their progress, only to see that they were running faster and faster, and the formation was getting more and more scattered, and they were getting closer and closer to the battle line of the Song army!
The crossbowmen who operated the 20 Divine Arm Crossbows saw that the situation was not right, so they left their bed crossbows and retreated first.
And Li Xiaozhong has retreated to his own formation at this time. He stood behind two standing warriors with the Divine Arm Bow, staring ahead with wide-eyed eyes and not moving.
The formation of the golden soldiers in front of them was already chaotic, surging into a large group, and they had already rushed to within 50 steps in front of Li Xiaozhong.
Li Xiaozhong finally raised his voice and ordered: "Divine Arm Bow - Hair!" ”
The aftermath of the password was still echoing, and the herald behind him had already struck the "bangzi" vigorously, and it came out with a bangzi ringing.
Thousands of divine arm bows all made a "taut" sound, and thousands of special wooden feather arrows were ejected by the bowstring made of hemp rope and silk!
The arrows of this wooden feather arrow are extremely sharp and hard, and they have excellent penetration under the action of great elastic force. Sturdy wooden shields are hard to resist, and there is a certain chance of being shot through directly!
If this wooden feather arrow is shot directly at the soldier's armor, even if there is a layer of armor and a layer of chain armor protection, it is difficult to ensure that the soldier will not be injured...... The Khitan Erlang who had already surged into a ball were hit by arrows one after another, and some were directly shot at the vital point and fell headlong, while many more continued to be wounded. Screams and roars rang out uncontrollably! The Khitan elders, who had been hit by the Eight Ox Crossbow and the Divine Arm Bow in turn, were now like a pack of steppe wolves enraged by their pain, screaming and rushing forward.
And they were greeted by another volley of divine arm bows!
It turned out that the number of soldiers commanded by Li Xiaozhong totaled 2,000 people, and they were divided into four rows, the first two rows were responsible for shooting, and the last two rows were responsible for opening crossbows and arrows. The four platoons of soldiers worked together to not only maximize the power of the 2,000 Divine Arm Bows, but also retain the stamina of the first two platoons - they would have to pick up their spears and launch a surprise attack on the enemy later, so they couldn't run out of stamina.
The bow and crossbow are facing the enemy, usually stopping at three shots, and now the tactic of "two-stage attack" is used, so the 1,000 crossbowmen under Li Xiaozhong shot a total of five shots and fired 5,000 wooden feather arrows.
Under the repeated blows of forty or fifty eight-bull crossbows and 5,000 wooden feather arrows, the battle formation of the Khitans had thinned out a lot—some were killed or wounded, and the formation became loose and chaotic.
"Bow up—gun raised!"
Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, Li Xiaozhong gave a new order. As soon as his order was given, the sound of bangzi abruptly stopped, and was replaced by a rush of drums.
The drum advances, and the gold retreats.
The sound of the drums sounds, which means that the charge is about to begin!
Li Xiaozhong's soldiers carried their crossbows on their backs, and then pulled out spears or long-handled axes (the head of the axe also had a spear tip) stuck in the dirt.
By this time, the first drum had been played.
The teams are beginning to give orders to assemble their teams and raise their guns and axes. As soon as the finishing of the teams was completed, the drums were beaten again, louder and more urgent than the last time.
The second drum was the order to launch the charge, and the two rows of pikemen and two rows of axemen suddenly shouted: "Kill ......"
As the sound of killing sounded, the charge of the Song army's spearmen and axe men began.
And what greeted this group of Han warriors was the heavy arrows thrown by the Jurchen big bow!
The 2,000 Jurchen soldiers led by Sheema himself followed behind the 2,000 Khitan soldiers commanded by Han Funu. With the Khitans as meat shields, of course, this group of Jurchens don't have to worry about "killing in strings", and they don't have to be afraid of the wooden feather arrows shot by the Divine Arm Bow, they are still very safe.
And when the front row of the Song army launched a charge, Shiema immediately gave the order to stop moving forward and start throwing feather arrows - the main purpose of his 2,000 Khitan Erlang in front of him was to give his Jurchen warriors the opportunity to kill and injure the Song people with heavy arrows!
According to his calculations, as long as the Khitans' fear of the Jurchens outweighed the fear of the Song army, he would be able to achieve victory at a very small cost...... Of course, the life of the Khitan people is not life for him at all!
The heavy arrows thrown out by the Khitans were actually not accurate, and the armor of the Song army was still moving fast. However, the purpose of the Jurchens' archery was not to kill many people, but to "break up" the Song army's horizontal team. In the formation of the infantry army, the role of individual bravery is not great, and the key is to maintain the formation and give full play to the strength of the collective.
Now the formation of the Khitans has been broken up by the Eight Bull Crossbow and the Divine Arm Bow, and the array of the Song army is still intact, so it is very likely to be defeated with one blow!
This is what Shiyama is most worried about, so he ordered his subordinates to let out a few waves of arrows.
If he had been facing a truly well-trained army today, his rain of arrows would have been of no use in harassing the enemy. It's a pity that Zhao Kai's army was formed too hastily, and it was not trained and rectified properly (but it was still stronger than other Song troops), after suffering a few waves of arrow rain and some casualties, the 2000 armor soldiers under Li Xiaozhong were also a little scattered, but they were still a lot stronger than the Khitans who were already in a state of group fighting!
Looking at the scattered formation of the golden soldiers in front of him, Li Xiaozhong, who had already squeezed into the front row and took the lead in charging with a special spear four or five feet long, excitedly let out the loudest roar: "Kill, kill the thief and make a meritorious service!" ”
On his left and right, hundreds of men also shouted in unison, all holding their spears tightly, and rushed forward, poking and stabbing a whole row of loose Khitans on the opposite side in an instant!
The formation of the Khitans, under the impact of these Song army armor soldiers, collapsed in an instant!
And the Song army, which succeeded in one blow, also exposed the shortcomings of training and experience, after they crushed the opponent, they did not immediately organize the team, and then took out the divine arm bow and shot at the Jin soldiers, but scattered to chase the Khitans and cut off the heads.
As a result, a good battle suddenly turned into a melee between the two armies!
And this is exactly what the Jin soldiers under Wanyan Shema are looking forward to!
Without waiting for the horse to give the order, these golden soldiers began to use the Jurchen big bow in their hands to shoot heavy arrows at the crowd in the melee!
These golden soldiers shot arrows extremely fast, and at this time they were not far from the battlefield where the melee was taking place, that is, twenty or thirty paces, which was exactly the distance at which the heavy arrows could exert their power.
The random arrows were like torrential rain, violently sweeping through the crowd in the melee, and the soldiers on both sides were hit by arrows one after another, and they were instantly killed and wounded!
Heavy arrows have no eyes, so it doesn't matter who is Han and who is Khitan! Although those Jurchens were aiming at the Song soldiers, it was inevitable that they would shoot by mistake...... So this wave of heavy arrow shooting, it is a bit of an indiscriminate blow, even Yelu Yujian's henchman Han Funu was pierced in the back by a heavy arrow, and the severe pain made him no longer able to hold the mace in his hand, but he stumbled and wanted to retreat, but where did the Song man armor in front of him allow him to escape, the hammer in his hand slammed over mercilessly, and gave him a slam in the chest.
At this time, Han Funu couldn't stand on his feet anymore, the whole person fell down, the blood in his mouth spurted straight out, and his eyes happened to be facing a group of Jurchens who were shooting arrows frantically - what a ruthless Jurchen!
