Chapter 17: The Dawn

"Wang Song, where are you on a dog day?"

A kind of mournful roar came into the ears of Wanyan Zonghan not far away, making him subconsciously startled.

He looked at the wilderness around him, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Suddenly, the sound of a loud horn sounded from the sky, coming from the periphery of the battlefield, one after another, continuously.

The Song and Jin soldiers on the battlefield were stunned, and the movements in their hands stopped one after another, not knowing where the horn came from and who played it.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongbi were stunned by each other, and they didn't know what was going on.

Wanyan Lou Room was furious and shouted: "Who is blowing the horn indiscriminately?"

Han Chang pointed to the northeast direction and said suspiciously: "Listening to the sound, it seems to come from the northeast, and it seems that there is also from the southwest."

Wanyan Zonghan said loudly and angrily: "Hurry up and check what happened."

In the Jingyuan army, a Western sergeant covered in blood suddenly pointed in the direction of Jinsu Mountain, and shouted hoarsely, "Reinforcements, it's our reinforcements"

Another Song soldier jumped up and said in a trembling voice: "It's the loyal army, and Wang Xianggong's team also has it in the south."

Quduan's heart was beating violently, his fingers trembled slightly, he picked up the clairvoyant mirror, beat his horse and galloped up to a high ground, and looked in the direction pointed by the soldier.

Countless figures, from the southeast, due east, and northeast, formed a large semicircle, swept forward, and went straight to the battlefield where the battle was being fought.

In several directions, countless loyal soldiers followed behind the chariots, and the war horses protected the two wings of the army, and the spears were like forests, covering the mountains and fields, occupying the entire plain.

In the southeast and northeast directions, countless cavalry and infantry of the Loyal and Righteous Army rolled in, with at least tens of thousands of people. The flag is unfurled, the hunting is sounding, and the word "king" is clearly visible on it.

It is the loyal army, it is Wang Song's team

Due east, the sound of artillery rumbles and the sound of fighting shakes the sky, and it should be a fierce battle.

"Assemble in Array"

Qu Duan let out a long sigh, beat his horse down the high slope, and immediately gave a military order.

"Pomp Pomp"

There were still two miles or so, the sound of artillery continued to sound, and in the formation of the loyal army, bursts of white smoke rose up, forming a huge wall of smoke that surrounded several miles. Countless iron balls were overwhelming, and they smashed from the north and south directions like raindrops, heading straight for the golden soldier array.

As far as the eye can see, the artillery of the loyal army is placed on the chariot, the chariot rolls forward, the gunners continue to fire, and the golden soldiers are getting closer and closer. The horses that pulled the gun wagons were apparently trained in gunpowder explosions and were not affected by the explosion of gunfire.

Not only the Jin soldiers, but also the Song army on the battlefield were also puzzled. There are still more than two miles to go, and this artillery can really hit this far

Iron balls whistling and flying in the air, and some even collided with each other in the air, making a screeching sound. The iron balls roared, most of them smashed on the ground in front of the golden soldiers' array, and then jumped and flew, overwhelming, and flew into the golden soldiers' large array.

There were also some iron balls that smashed directly into the battle formation of the golden soldiers, directly causing a scream and exclamation.

Wherever the iron ball went, it was devastated, and in an instant it was a bloody alley, and the tendons and bones of those who touched it were broken, and they were either dead or injured. Many knights on horseback fell off their horses one after another because their horses' leg bones were broken, and the golden soldiers were in chaos.

The iron balls that were shot, and even a few of them inadvertently shot into the Jingyuan army formation, causing casualties among more than a dozen soldiers and causing a lot of scolding.

"Backward, backward"

Qu Duan shouted loudly, directing the soldiers to retreat so as not to harm the pond fish.

"Wang Song, you are really vicious"

Wan Yan Lou's face turned pale. Wang Song was able to calm down, and when the two sides fought with the clam and the clam each other, there were heavy casualties, and he benefited from the fisherman. Compared with a few years ago, Wang Song is already hard-hearted

Like iron, in order to win, completely unscrupulous.

The 10,000 iron horsemen in the east have not returned to help. Could it be that the east side is inextricably fighting, and 10,000 iron horsemen can't stop the other party

The smugness of victory in sight just now was completely gone, and Wanyan Zonghan seemed to have aged dozens of years all of a sudden. He roared loudly: "Mingjin collects the troops and assembles into a formation"

The desolate horn sounded, and countless Jin soldiers abandoned the Song soldiers one after another, and ran towards their own big array together, and the fields ran clean in an instant, leaving only the stunned remnants of the Song army standing in place, dazed and at a loss.

The Jin soldiers broke away, and the Song soldiers sat on the ground one after another, paralyzed into a ball of mud, and some of them could no longer get up.

"Wang Song, you're finally here"

He sat on the ground with a "poof", gasped for a moment, and immediately struggled to get up again.

"All stand back, don't stay here and get in the way, lest you get hurt by mistake"

The Song soldiers supported each other and struggled out of the battlefield.

"Sticky Han, Song Dog artillery is so fierce, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties, rush out immediately"

Seeing that the Jin soldiers were killed and injured under the artillery attack of the Song army, and panicked, Wanyan Zongbi couldn't help but jump like thunder.

"Song Dog is attacking from the north and south, the east is fighting, and the west is a river, if you retreat to the north and south, when you rush out, the warriors will also be killed by artillery."

Wanyan Zonghan's little eyes were hideous, and he completely lost his due composure.

"Sticky Han, Wushu, rushing into battle together is as long as you are in close contact with Song Gou, how can you break them up"

Wanyan Lou Room's eyes were hideous, and he said loudly: "Wang Song is scheming, and there must be heavy troops in the east." Let's attack from behind first, Song Dog can't help us."

Everyone nodded. Wanyan Zonghan hesitated and said: "There are still so many baggage, gold and silver money, grain and grass on the Song army's position, if you can't take it away, it's a pity."

Wanyan Zongbi frowned and said, "When is it, let's defeat these Song dogs first."

Wan Yan Lou said loudly: "The three of us rushed all the way. Sticky Han and Wushu each rushed to the north and south, and I led people to the east. Gather all the departments at once"

The Jin Dynasty was divided into three groups in an instant, still with the foot soldiers in front and the cavalry behind, rushing towards the Song army's large array together.

Facing the rushing array of golden soldiers, Yue Fei's face was solemn, and his forehead and palms were sweaty.

He didn't expect that the Jin people had arranged tens of thousands of cavalry arrays, which were dense and couldn't see the end. Coupled with the army of golden soldiers and foot soldiers swarming in the distance, there are thirty or forty thousand no matter how you look at it.

Seeing the appearance of the Song army's large array, the Jurchen cavalry array, under the command of Wanyan Zongbi, went north one after another, intending to defeat the Song army and seize the opportunity.

The mountains are all over the wilderness, earth-shattering, the Jurchen iron horse is surging like a tide, the sound of horses' hooves is earth-shattering, the momentum is huge, it can be said that it is devastating, and it is overwhelming.

In the large formation of the loyal and righteous army, many soldiers were pale, and their legs and feet were trembling. Such a ferocious Jurchen iron horse is the first time I have seen it in my life.

"Dong Xian, Xu Qing, you two lead the cavalry, ready to attack from the flanks at any time. Liu Hongjin, let the heavy artillery continue to attack, the small artillery prepares, and the grenadiers are broken"

Yue Fei roared loudly.

More than 300 heavy artillery pieces opened fire together, each time it was 300 iron balls, and they smashed towards the rushing Jurchen cavalry array.

In the southeast direction, the left flank of the loyal and righteous army, Zhang Xian also issued a military order, and countless solid iron bullets flew in the air, smashing towards the oncoming Jin soldiers.

In the east of the large array, the Jurchen cavalry formation rolled forward, smoke and dust rose up, and went straight to Yue Fei's large array. The large array of the loyal and righteous army was filled with gunsmoke, and the artillery was also in an orderly manner, firing continuous artillery bombardment.

More than two miles away, the two sides marched in the opposite direction, the artillery of the loyal and righteous army was endless, and the Jurchen knights suffered heavy casualties, especially their horses

Forward.

The iron balls flew wildly, smashing out flesh alleys in the Jurchen cavalry array. The stumps were broken, the flesh and blood were flying, and the Jurchen knights were knocked off their horses piece by piece, and the horses neighed. In the smoke and dust, many Jurchen knights were tripped and knocked to the ground, and they were trampled into mud by the war horses behind them in an instant, and they could no longer get up.

The sound of artillery was incessant, and each time there were hundreds of Jurchen knights killed and wounded, just the first six shellings, 1,800 iron bullets, caused at least three or four thousand casualties of Jurchen cavalry. Seeing that the Jurchen cavalry entered the firing range of one mile, the small cannons of the loyal and righteous army also rang out.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the artillery of the loyal and righteous army slaughtered wantonly, countless Jurchen warriors fell to the ground, countless casualties were killed, and Wanyan Zongbi's heart was about to bleed.

"Why don't we put up our artillery, aren't we all afraid of death?"

Wanyan Zongbi's eyes were red, and he roared wildly.

"Your Highness, our artillery can only fight two or three hundred steps, and the artillery of the Song army can fight two miles. Before we could get to the front, our artillery was knocked out by the other side. ”

The artillery general hung his head and had a bitter face, carefully explained.

"Straight thief, what's the use of asking you"

Wanyan Zongbi drew his knife and wanted to cut down the artillery officer, but was stopped by the general next to him.

"Pomp Pomp"

With the roar of hundreds of small cannons sounding together, the Jurchen cavalry that rushed into the front two or three hundred steps of the loyal and righteous army was knocked to the ground like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and the Jurchen knights in the front row suddenly became empty.

Finally rushed out of the opponent's heavy artillery bombardment, only more than a hundred steps away from the main array of the loyal army, and the Jurchen knights could even see the frightened expressions on the faces of some Song soldiers. The Jurchen knights took out their feather arrows one after another, stretched their bows and arrows, and were about to shoot at close range.

The Jurchen knights behind the cavalry formation also followed, and the ground trembled violently with thousands of horses galloping. This is a life-and-death struggle, and only by breaking through the opponent's artillery array can you rely on superior cavalry to defeat the opponent.

The golden knights rolled forward, the heavily armored knights in front with their spears in hand, and the lightly armored archers behind, waiting only to attack once they were within fifty or sixty paces of fire.

The Jin people were also quite cunning, they were afraid of the artillery of the Song army, so the distance between the cavalry and the cavalry was as wide as possible, so as not to cause large-scale casualties to the cavalry.

Countless Jurchen cavalry filled the mountains and fields, and there were as many as 10,000 horsemen on each side. The Jurchen cavalry sat on their horses, and their mouths made strange screams, which were fierce and unstoppable.

"Pomp Pomp"

600 large and small cannons opened fire together, and the iron bullets and iron pellets that had leveled the muzzles of the guns shot out in a hurry. The air was as if it had been torn apart, giving way to passages, and the solid iron balls and iron pills were like weaving nets, heading straight for the Jurchen iron horsemen who came vertically and horizontally.

White smoke rose, the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunsmoke, and many soldiers coughed involuntarily.

A gust of wind blew, and the white smoke was blown clean, and there was no obstacle in front of the position. Countless cavalry struggled in a pool of blood, flesh and blood blurred, crying father and mother, screaming endlessly, countless war horses lying in a pool of blood, dyed red.

The cannon still roared, another round of fire, and the knights and horses behind fell again.

100 steps, the war horse has to run for about 10 seconds. Just as the Jurchen knights were hurrying up, the Song army's 300 small cannons began to bombard again.

Each time, 300 small cannons were fired together, and 40,000 iron pellets erupted, and at such a close distance, the Jurchen cavalry was like grass in a raging storm, staggering, and countless knights planted from their horses.

The Jurchen knights' galloping offensive was blocked, and the speed slowed down for a while.

Eight rounds of heavy artillery fire, 2,400 solid iron balls bombarded indiscriminately, three rounds of small artillery, hundreds of thousands of iron pellets bombarded, the Jurchen cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and the losses had reached six or seven thousand cavalry, but they still did not slow down, and they saw that they had reached within a few dozen steps in front of the Song army's main array.
