On February 28, at noon, the southwest sky was full of wind and clouds.

Hot air balloons rose one after another at the foot of the mountain, and the largest blocking battles took place in two places called Xiukou and Shiling, and the soldiers of the Huaxia Army who had been assembled relied on artillery and mountain roads to resist the two strong attacks of the Jurchen Bali Speed Department and the Eight Divisions. The smoke and flames raised by the war were clearly visible for miles.

Ten miles southeast of the Shiling battlefield, there are small hills undulating in the field of vision, but most of them are flat, and a small river formed by a stream flows through. After leaving Zizhou, passing through here, crossing the stone bridge and entering the mountain, it is a rugged road. The merchants transported the materials from the outside world to Zizhou through the Jianmen Pass year after year, and then transported the objects of Sichuan and Shu out of this mountain, so the stone bridge on the river is named after Wangyuan.

Both sides of the war have gathered on the south side of the stone bridge.

Ning Yi, who only led 6,000 people, did not play tricks, and because of this, Xianbao, who had an army of 30,000 troops, had to move forward. His army was already lined up on the banks of the river, with 30,000 men and 3,000 cavalry, all in command. Looking up, it was a rare sunny day in the southwest at the end of February.

On the opposite hill, six thousand Huaxia troops were close in front of them, including the figure who had heard about it for a long time, the heart demon Ning Yi, who was also standing on the hill in front of him. Wan Yan Xianbao breathed a sigh of relief, thirty thousand to six thousand, he didn't plan to let this person have a chance to escape.

"The grass around is new, it doesn't look like it's been dug up, and there may be no mines." The adjutant general came over and said something like this. Xianbao nodded, recalling the collection of Ning Yi's intelligence in the past, the most outstanding figure among the Han people in the past thirty years is not only good at strategizing, but also the most able to spare his life on the battlefield. A few years ago, at a gathering in Jinguo, Gushen commented on each other and said: "Looking at its connotation, it is similar to Baoshan." ”

6,000 people, risking their lives, a glimmer of life...... Standing on the opposite side of this stupid behavior, Xianbao can feel a huge insult while being confused, and he is not Yelu Yanxi.

Of course, this insult also made him extra calm. The correct way to fight this kind of thing is not to get angry, but to knock the opponent into the dust with the strongest attack, so that his hind hand has no time to play, kill him, slaughter his family, and after that, you can spit on his skull!

Followed by Xianbao, there are currently four generals. Xi Lie and Wanyan Gulu were originally generals under the command of the god of war Lou Mur, and after Lou Mur went, Yan Shanwei took these two generals as the main ones. In addition, Naco and Wensa, who were under his command, were also survivors of the Battle of the Northwest that year, and now Nako led the infantry and Wensa led the cavalry.

The army under his command has the memory of humiliation and shame engraved into the bone marrow of everyone, with white as the banner, representing their determination to never retreat and surrender. The training for several years is to face Ning Yi, a shameful mouse, and completely bury the Huaxia Army at this moment.

In the early morning of this day, the generals who realized that the duel was already in front of them invited out the clothes of the two former Jurchen marshals, and 30,000 people were silent towards the clothes, and then tied a white scarf on their foreheads, and then pulled out the camp and came to the opposite side of the Wangyuan Bridge. Ning Yi refused to cross the river, he wanted to put the battlefield on this side of the river, it didn't matter, they could fulfill him.

At this moment when noon came, the army with the soldiers wearing white scarves on their foreheads was no less imposing than the army that had marched to the post more than 20 years ago.

The generals ran in front of the formation, but there was no shouting, and there was no need to elaborate on more.

****************

"So the most critical ...... The most troublesome thing is how to teach children. ”

"I think, just fight."

"So you ...... I don't understand education, this is a very particular thing, what should I do if it is broken? Children also have self-esteem, what should I do if I leave a psychological shadow on him? What should I do if I rebel and run away from home? You can't just fight casually, it will have an impact on their future......"

"My family is two, it's okay......"

"So is my family."

The wind blew softly from the mountain, and after receiving a message, Ning Yi was talking softly to Du Shu and the others next to him.

The atmosphere on the battlefield can make people feel nervous, and in the past few days, fierce discussions have also been taking place in the Huaxia Army, including Han Jing, Qu Zhengyan and others, who also have certain doubts about the entire operation.

"Six thousand to thirty thousand, what if something goes wrong, you are the backbone of the Huaxia Army, this defeat, the Huaxia Army will also be defeated."

Or:

"Even if you have a certain degree of certainty, isn't it a bit of a waste to spend it on Wanyan Xianbao's body, otherwise when Zong Han completely comes forward, he will have a frontal battle. After all...... It may not be possible to completely wipe out the oblique protection. ”

Two days ago, Zong Han appeared in the Pull Out Speed Army, and Qu Zhengyan also put forward the idea of whether to revise the strategy, Ning Yi thought about it for a while, but also vetoed it. Zong Han's appearance is to distract the attention of the oblique protection, and the one who will rush to the front will always be the army of the oblique protection, if he doesn't fight, Zong Han will not give another ideal fighter.

In the process of these discussions and doubts, there was another thing that always made Ning Yi a little worried. Since the twenty-third, the front line has temporarily lost contact with Ning Ji, although there are many teams that have temporarily lost contact under the first wave of Jurchens, but if Ning Ji falls into the hands of the other party at a critical moment, it will be too bloody.

He had worried and calculated many things, but he never thought that there would be such a critical loss of contact when the matter came. Until today, the news came from the front line, Ning Ji and others beheaded Yin Khan, the general of Liaodong, and saved Mao Yishan's regiment, and then traveled in the mountains to find fighters in the next few days, and raided a Han army team the day before yesterday, only to connect the news again.

In the past few days, it is said that Ning Ji was ruthless and killed two enemy generals one after another...... This is really fucked up and disturbing news, what this gang of people in the family has trained a thirteen-year-old child to look like.

We must end this war quickly, otherwise there will be a murderous demon king in the family......

His mind was relaxed in the general direction, and he put the news confirming Ning Ji's safety into his arms, and exhaled: "But it's okay." He looked up at the 30,000-strong army on the opposite side, "Even if I die here today, at least the children of the family will continue to walk." ”

"Our two children have been beaten and beaten to death since they were children, and they are like this now. Sensible ......"

“…… Rough man. ”

The brief conversation ended with Ning Yi's helpless look. He asked the time, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, the drums roared, and on the opposite position, the first group of about 5,000 troops in the Jurchen army, which was on a tentative mission, began to move forward, with infantry in front and artillery on the side. On the other side, three thousand elite horsemen slowly circled towards the south side of the battlefield.

The main army in the rear also advanced slowly.

The movement of 30,000 people was like thunder on the earth.

Ning Yi raised his hand and gave the order, and the army advanced at the same time.

At this moment, the distance between the front lines of the two forces was 1,200 meters, and the huge army formation of 30,000 people was delayed, and it was nearly a mile wide.

The ultimate firing distance of the bow and arrow is 200 meters, and the effective killing rate must be pressed to less than 120 meters, and the distance of the artillery is about the same now. One hundred and twenty meters, an adult will not run at a speed of more than fifteen seconds.

There are also bed crossbows and strong bows made by generals, which can kill up to 300 meters.

Generally speaking, the distance of 100 zhang is the first line to prepare for blood in a big battle. And more tactics and methods of using troops also fluctuate on this line, such as first advancing slowly, and then pressing forward suddenly, or choosing to divide troops and hold on, so that the other side can react relatively. And once it is closer, it is the moment when the battle begins.

With a distance of one kilometer and a line of formation, the two sides still have a certain amount of time to make adjustments and preparations. The battle formation of 30,000 people gradually expanded in the field of vision, the front line of the Huaxia army lined up in a long line in front, the three rows and three rows of formations were staggered with each other, and the hands were all long strip-shaped muskets, the muskets in the front were equipped with bayonets, and the soldiers without bayonets carried large knives behind their backs.

There were more than 4,500 muskets in total, and in the procession, there were iron cannons in parallel.

On the side of the queue, a group of muskets escorted forward was a team with the banner of "China's first military industry", the main body of the team had more than ten box-shaped four-wheeled vehicles, and now Lin Jingwei and Gongsun Sheng, who served as chief engineers in the technical aspects of the Huaxia Army, were among them.

Many of them were dyed with strange yellow colors on their hands, bodies, and uniforms, and some even showed signs of burns and corrosion on their hands and faces.

The First Military Industrial Institute of the Huaxia Army, the Rocket Engineering Research Institute, in the long and difficult days after the establishment of the Huaxia Army, Ning Yi's support for this institution was the greatest, and from another point of view, it was also the institution that he directly controlled and guided the research direction. Many of the technicians are veterans.

Ning Yi turned to this aspect a long time ago with some soldiers with strong hands-on ability and strong thinking ability, and now that the enlightenment at the grassroots level is not enough and the manpower is also tight, letting these soldiers who participate in the manufacturing process operate it by themselves can reduce the loss of training newcomers to a certain extent. Of course, if the battle is tight, they will also be further involved in the battle.

Ning Yi followed the group forward, and at the time of eight hundred meters, following Lin Jingwei and Gongsun Sheng was Yu Hang, the deputy chief engineer in charge of the rocket—this was a pure technician with messy and curly hair, and the right side of his head was bald due to the burns of the explosion, nicknamed "Curly Bald"—turned his head and said, "Bad, almost." ”

The vehicle stopped.

"Are you sure?" Ning Yi, who was looking forward with a telescope, couldn't help but ask with some worry at this time.

"Bi, after all, the test is not enough, according to Mr. Zhaoning, according to your statement, theoretically speaking, we ...... There is still a possibility that something will go wrong. Teacher Ning, Mr. Ning, you stand farther away, farther away, if you ...... If the most unexpected happens, one percent chance, it's suddenly blown up, blown up, blown up ......"

"Alright, stop, got it."

Ning Yi's expression was blank, and his palm pressed in the air. Some people even laughed on the side, while more people were doing things step by step.

Five four-wheeled carts were dismantled, each with a grille-like iron frame, placed diagonally on the ground in front of them, and the workers used iron rods to prop them up and fix, and on the other five carts, the three-meter-long iron cylinders were lifted out one by one and placed on the I-beam with several grooves.

The battle array was still advancing, and Ning Yi rode his horse forward, and many of the members of the Huaxia Army around him were familiar to him.

For this war, Ning Yi has been preparing for more than ten years, and he has also suffered more than ten years in it. In the past ten years, there have been many companions of the Chinese soldiers around him who have died. Starting from Xia Village, to the three years of Xiaocanghe, and now, how many heroes he buried who should have been alive, he himself can't count.

As a person from a better world, smarter and more powerful, he should have more sense of superiority, but in fact, only in front of these people, he does not have much sense of superiority, and in the past ten years, many people like Li Pin think he is arrogant and capable but does not save more people. However, the people around him, whom he tried so hard to save, died one by one.

When Xiaocanghe was in the river, he buried countless comrades-in-arms, and when he arrived in the southwest, many people were hungry and sent fat meat into the research institute to refine a small amount of glycerin, and the soldiers in the front were killed in battle, and these people in the rear research institute were not a few killed and injured by the explosion, some people died of chronic poisoning, and more people were corroded by poison.

In an explosion, a soldier was blown off both legs and fell in a pool of blood, the skin on his face was gone, and his last words were: "Enough for them to bear...... referring to the Jurchens." The whole family of this soldier had already died under the knife of the Jurchens.

Now everyone is quietly putting these results on the shelf.

In the process of scientific research advancement, Ning Yi first wanted to break through nitroglycerin, after the success of the laboratory method, if he wanted to industrialize mass production, the foundation could not be reached, and even caused a lot of accidents. Later, the direction chosen was picric acid, but it has not yet paved the way for mass industrial production.

The overall volume and manpower are still too small.

Then he had to slowly improve and explore the handmade method, and after making it, he chose to use rockets. In fact, the basic design idea of rockets has been in the Wu Dynasty, in another period of history, the rockets of the Song Dynasty flowed into India, and were later improved by the Europeans to become Congreve rockets, and Ning Yi's improvement ideas are actually similar to them. Better explosives, longer range, more precise paths.

Over the years, by the time Wangyuan Bridge and Wanyan Xiebao were in the match, the total production of this iron rocket with a three-meter balance bar was 617, some of which were filled with TNT explosives and some with picric acid. The finished product was named "Dijiang" by Ning Yi.

The two armies were seven hundred meters apart, Wan Yan Xianbao raised his binoculars and saw the open shelf: "I know that they have a conspiracy...... but no matter what kind of conspiracy it is, how powerful it is, at this moment, the choice he can have is only to push down everything on the other side with an army of 30,000.

At the same time, the 30,000 Jurchens on the entire battlefield had been completely included in the firing range.

The front line pushed forward by the Jurchens entered the 500-meter line, and the 30,000-strong formation also entered the range of about 600 meters. The Huaxia army had already stopped and lined up in three rows. The soldiers in the front row rubbed their hands and feet, they were actually battle-hardened soldiers, but it was the first time that all of them had used muskets on a large scale in actual combat - although there was a lot of training, it was not clear to them whether they would produce great results.

Shallow white clouds flowed through the sky, Wangyuan Bridge, twenty-eighth, at three o'clock in the afternoon, someone heard the whistling sound of the wind coming from behind, and there was a light passing through the sky from the side. The red tail flame flew into the sky with thick black smoke.

Each of the I-beams has five launch slots, but in order not to be surprised, everyone chose a relatively conservative launch strategy. Twenty rays of light shot out in different directions. The moment he saw that light, Wan Yan's scalp tingled, and at the same time, in the front of the five thousand army formation, the general waved his sword.

"Rush—"

Two rays of light fell towards the formation, the main body of the explosive being freshly prepared picric acid. The moment the tail flame penetrated the crowd, a roaring explosion poured out of the crowd with flames of more than 3,000 degrees......
