Chapter 827: Killing

The roar of the cannonballs flying overhead, and the smoke and dust rising from the valley mouth in front of him made Guo Kui secretly sigh in his heart, maybe a veteran like himself must adjust to the era of the coming of a new war.

This was the first time that the New Army of the Great Song Dynasty was put into a field battle in a systematic manner, and the fire delivery speed of the Thunderbolt Cannon was ten rounds per minute, which could send ten pounds of shells to the valley mouth one and a half miles away!

And the position of the artillery corps is still behind him a mile away!

A single shell can form hundreds of fragments and kill living targets within a radius of five feet!

It was a textbook show, and all the senior commanders who were given binoculars were watching with their binoculars in their hands.

Thousands of Li Yue cavalry, under the baptism of steel barrage, launched a selfless charge towards the Song army's position, no, not so much a charge, but a desire to escape from the assembly area as soon as possible.

Guo Kui held the binoculars on his horse, watching the scene of the Jiaozhi people being torn apart in the steel storm, and felt extremely happy in his heart.

Thank God, such force is in the hands of my Great Song.

The cavalry charge is not only one action, the whole charge process is divided into several steps, such as the whole team - fast walking, jogging, accelerating running, sprinting at full speed, and regrouping.

The standard tactical sprint of the Western Army, the starting point is about half a mile away from the enemy formation, and the cavalry formation reaches extreme speed, and when it begins to sprint at full speed, it is only fifty meters away from the enemy formation!

If you only rush once, you can't go more than 100 meters at top speed.

If you are ruthless and don't care about the life and death of the horse, the 200-meter sprint, the 500-meter whole course, is the limit.

This is the reason why the wolf crossing horses of the princes and nobles in Bianjing City are as high as thousands of runs!

As far as these ponies of the Cochin people are concerned, the length of the sprint distance has to be discounted again.

As an expert in cavalry warfare, the position arranged by Guo Kui was just 100 meters away from the valley mouth!

Even if the cochin cavalry can rush in front of their own formation, it will be the end of the crossbow.

No cavalry corps can calmly complete the whole team under the enemy's long-range attack, even the Tanguts who grew on horseback, against the Song army with strong crossbows and already in formation, they have to hook the iron harriers with hinges.

So Guo Kui is not thinking about the problem of the Jiaozhi cavalry at all now, he has already substituted himself into the charge, thinking about how to let his cavalry survive in such artillery fire.

The more I thought about it, the more chills I felt down my spine, and finally added the gun cart and van to the preset of his cavalry, and my mood became comfortable.

The roar of the thunderbolts continued, and the rhythmic intermittent attacks directly cut the Cochin cavalry into three sections.

It should be said that the quality of the army of the four wars of Jiaozhi is still extremely high, at least there is no sign of the cavalry cowering in the telescope.

Yan Da said to himself beside Guo Kui: "Their horses are dying. ”

Sure enough, I saw a hundred meters ahead, a cochin military horse stumbled one by one, and fell to the ground with a weak front hoove, lifting off the warrior on the horse.

The warrior raised his spear and rushed towards the Song army position with a cry.

On the van formations on both sides of the Song army's position, a crackling sound sounded.

After a year of rigorous training, the Yijin Army on the van is now quite good.

The van car, large four wheels, the length of the car is one zhang, the front and rear crossbars are five feet wide, and the height is five feet five inches.

Thin plates all around, each with a hole in the gun.

Use hooks and hooks to hold each other.

When stationed, take off two antlers, each six feet long, and place them ten steps away from the car.

Clothing, food and equipment are all in the car, and they are united in the front.

When the thief comes to attack, there is a chance to take advantage of it, so he will open the wall and fight; If the situation is not convenient, the wall will be firmly held.

It can carry all kinds of military guns, a total of 20 seats.

The five-color flags listed above, depending on the thieves on their side, greeted with their square flags, listened to the drums and marched, and stopped when they smelled the gold.

The line is like a long snake, the end is complete, the end is the square domain, the four walls are firm, and the people are controlled.

The four wooden walls of the van can be disassembled, and when facing the enemy, the side facing the enemy is still erected, and the rear side is lowered to form a slope for the sergeant to get on and off the van, and the front and rear two car plates can be connected with the other car for the sergeant to and fro on the car formation.

The Jiaozhi cavalry knew that it would definitely be useless to attack the vans like the low city walls on both sides, and the target was only Guo Kui's Chinese army.

The commanders of the new army were Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian, and after the Jiaozhi army entered the firing range, Wang Zhongzheng shouted: "Fire!" "Deadly projectiles were fired from the holes of the two sides of the formation.

The firing on the left and right sides formed a cross-fire net within 100 meters of Guo Kui's central army, and the first batch of cavalry who were lucky enough to rush through the artillery fire fell to the ground one after another.

In the team watching the battle, there are many generals and subordinate troops, Dali's Xiao Gao Xiangye, Liu Ji, and Huang Jinman are among them.

Xiao Gao Xiangye held the saddle bridge in one hand, and held the telescope that made the two generals envious in the other, looking at the miserable appearance a hundred meters away: "What else is there to start in this battle......

Nearby, a short cross-chin horse broke through the blockade of the Divine Machine, but the horse did not fall to the ground.

The rider was also very good at riding, and when the horse fell to the ground, he threw his spear into the ground, dragged the spear with a thin handle in his hand and ran forward a few steps, "Ah-" He let out a long cry and threw the spear towards the Song position.

This was the first threat to the Song army by the Jiaozhi cavalry, and one of the Great Song cavalrymen drew his cavalry sword and dismissively pulled his spear away.

Immediately after, dozens of cavalry broke into the diamond-shaped blank space between the fire net and the Chinese army, Guo Kui waved his hand, and the short crossbow in the crossbow array of the Chinese army flew out, shooting dozens of elite horsemen into hedgehogs.

Wang Shu is also a cavalry general, seeing such a situation, he can't help but feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, and turned his head to Zhang Shiju, who was pale next to him, and said: "This is too miserable......"

Zhang Shiju took his mouth and said: "The worse is behind." ”

Farther away, tens of thousands of Jiaozhi troops rushed out of the valley with shouts.

Countless Jiaozhi squads were driven by the rear army to rush through the valley, and the formation of the infantry army they formed was the standard formation of the infantry formations of various countries today.

But for the Thunderbolt, it was too dense.

A radius of one mile outside the valley mouth is completely a scene like a flesh and blood slaughterhouse.

Forty ambush cannons can output 600 shells in one minute, and a rapid salvo can basically clear that area.

After rushing through that area, only three or four of the hundred-man team of the many Cochin Army remained.

The assault of the infantry was also divided into multiple sections by the thunderbolts, but better than the cavalry, the generals were able to regroup the remnants of the army on the run after rushing out of the artillery coverage, regrouping into formations, and pressing on the Song army.

Their courage came from fear, and the surrender conditions proposed by the Song army, after being exaggerated by those who had intentions, had already spread among the army - at first it was said that the troops who participated in the Yongzhou Massacre were not spared, and then it became that all the centurions could not surrender, and finally it turned out that all the Jiaozhi soldiers who entered the Song realm would be killed!

Anyway, it will be difficult to escape death in the end, so it is better to fight with the Song people!

Guo Kui looked at the Jiaozhi infantry front that was gradually approaching: "Li Changjie is driving the troops to kill, damn it!" ”

Zhao Di's eyes were deep: "Isn't it just right?" The more we cook here, the more convenient it will be for Su Shaobao to act in the future. ”

Guo Kui shook his head: "Zhang Shiju, Wang Shu!" Go to the van to protect both ends of the formation, and if necessary, the cavalry will attack! ”

The two took the order and left.

The cavalry of the Jiaozhi people was completely finished, more than 6,000 horses, lying all the way from the valley mouth to the front of the Song army, and those who could break through to the ten meter position of the Song army could be counted in two slaps.

Yan Da couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped his horse forward, and a cross-ched cavalryman shouted in despair and stabbed him with a spear in his hand.

Yan Da didn't even bother to draw the knife, grabbed the spear with one palm, and the cavalry fell down, and Yan Da took the wrong horse, carried it back with his belt, and threw it in front of the army.

Several Song soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and pressed the bundle.

Yan Da returned to the formation, Guo Kui looked at him and said coldly: "You are the deputy marshal!" Be honest with me! Your Majesty has cut the edict! ”

Yan Da smiled: "I was born in a large soldier, I didn't expect to be a big marshal and deputy marshal, this little soldier can rush here and not die, it is considered bad luck, I am not also a virtue." ”

Guo Kui whipped him on his helmet and scolded: "Even if it is the right shift, there is also a festival to stay, and the festival is waiting for you to do it!" How can a husband be self-indulgent?! Just stay by my side, and if you dare to act rashly, military law will be engaged! ”

Guo Kui looked enviously at Li Zhongguan and Wang Zhongguan who were showing off their martial arts and holding swords on the vans on both sides, and kept slandering in his heart: "After the people are staying in the eight classics, they are fighting lively......

"Boom-" Behind him there was a sound of neat crossbow strings being released, and thousands of short arrows flew into the air, and then fell towards the attacking Jiaozhi infantry.

The Great Song crossbowmen began their first projectile!
