The Song army had a weapon called Tribulus Fireball very early on, also known as "Fire Tribulus Terrestris".

It is to add the tribulus terrestris to the medicine powder ball, and run through a hemp rope one foot and two feet long in the middle, shoot it with a stone thrower to the enemy cavalry must pass through, and use the explosive force to burst out the iron tribulus terrestris to hurt the horse's legs and feet, which is dedicated to deterring the impact of the enemy horse.

In Zhao Gou's opinion, this is a rough version of the earth-shattering thunder.

It's just that this tribulus fireball has a very small name in the army, and it is subject to the power of the medicinal powder of this era, and the tribulus fireball has successfully fallen into the enemy army, and it can really only hurt the horse's legs and feet, and even with the help of the power of the thistle itself.

Therefore, the tribulus fireball and the earth-shaking thunder are "similar and supernatural", but they are fundamentally different.

The battle led by Bo Lu Huo was the most severe test faced by the Song army in Hedong, and it was also the most crucial battle.

If Zhao Gou can rely on the capital in his hand to defeat the Jin army that has been killed in a big way, then the Song army will be stable in this battle. Whether it is the former army led by Zhi Yanzhi or the Song army on the other side of the Bianhe River, every soldier and soldier will be enthusiastic and their morale will skyrocket.

And the morale of the golden soldiers will be greatly reduced!

But if Zhao Gou failed to stop the Jin people's offensive, then the Song army would have little hope in this battle.

"King Kang's military order! The artillery corps immediately responded to the support of the Fifth General Division, and it was in place within two quarters of an hour without delay! ”

Zhao Gou has not done nothing in Yingtian in the past few days, at least he has reorganized his military horses, such as gathering the horse armies of all departments in one place and reorganizing them into the Xiao Cavalry Army, and then placed the names of Yingtian's Song army one by one according to seniority.

Who is the first general, who is the second general, and so on until the twenty-second general.

——In order to change the original situation that the soldiers did not know the generals and the generals did not know the soldiers, resulting in the weak combat effectiveness of the Song army, in the seventh year of Xining (1074), the "Art of Soldiers" was introduced, and the local forbidden army and the fighting box soldiers, Fan soldiers, and township soldiers were mixed into "generals", and "commands" were set up. Each "general" ranges from more than 2,000 to more than 10,000 people, usually about 5,000 people, and the chief and deputy generals are the chiefs. The country is numbered as more than 140 generals, and the north is based on roads, and the first and second serial numbers are compiled under it; The southeast region is unified into 13 generals, and only regular generals are set up for those with less than 3,200 people. The generals and commanders lead and train their own generals and soldiers, so as to achieve the goal of knowing the soldiers and the soldiers, and improve the combat effectiveness. Each of these 'generals' is more like a military unit, and the person at the head is the commander.

Of course, Zhao Buqian knew who the fifth Zheng would be, and he was there now. He ran to the artillery column, looked at the eighty artillery wagons that were lined up in two columns, and shouted: "Sons, the time has come to serve the imperial court, and the time for our artillery army to exert its might has come, come with so-and-so!" ”

There was no superfluous nonsense, so he drove the war horse and drove to the fifth general first.

This Fifth General Department has 6,000 people in name, but in fact it is about 5,000 people, which can be said to be the first line of defense of Zhao Gouzhong's army.

On the side of the fifth general is the eighth general, with about 4,000 people, together with the 4,000 people of the ninth general, as well as the cavalry army held by Zhao Gou in the palm of his hand and the artillery army of Zhao Butry, this is the strength of the entire Chinese army of the Song army in Hedong.

As for the rear army, it was only a small fifteenth general, with a strength of more than 3,000 troops. The only task was to keep an eye on the river embankment, and they could even board the cao boats when necessary, relying on the cao boats to defend against the Jin army's offensive and prevent the Jin army from attacking the Song army behind them.

Maybe it's because of the small military strength that the Jin army is so relieved and bold to attack.

Bo Lu Huo, together with Wanyan Saili and Da Tart Buye, the Jin army used nearly 30,000 foot cavalry, in the eyes of Wan Yan Lou Room, Bo Lu Huo They did not have the reason that they could not break Zhao Gouzhong's army.

Even if the Song army on the west bank of the river desperately came to support, they who occupied the initiative in the battle could easily adapt to the situation according to the situation.

"Brothers of the fifth general, the time has come to serve the court! The king has an order, and those who go to war today will be rewarded with five copper coins and an additional rank; Whoever beheads the enemy will be rewarded with ten yuan and an additional rank! ”

Zhao Song has more than 50 military positions, and Zhao Gou can be very generous when he makes a promise.

And with this roar, the morale of the soldiers of the Fifth General suddenly rose to a new level.

"Thief, kill! Thief, Kill!! ”

Cheers of cheer soared into the sky.

The loud cheers of the soldiers in front naturally reached Zhao Gou's ears, but he was not moved in the slightest, his eyes were still looking closely ahead, the smoke and dust were rolling, and a wave of people came slowly. Zhao Gou's eyesight was very powerful, and from a distance, he could see countless swords and spears flashing with cold light, slowly advancing like a forest.

The front of the Jin army is also lined with layers of shield walls, behind which the spears are like a forest, and the queue is majestic. On both sides, there are more faint horses galloping.

The army of 30,000 people is like a big mountain pressing towards the fifth general.

Bolu Huo has a very important task, but as a veteran of the battlefield, he can also suppress his temperament. If you didn't swing your fist and hit the hammer at the beginning, in that case, the Jin Bing's 'offensive' would be fierce and aggressive, but the loss would be even greater. The development of the war is also more difficult to control!

He put all his army in battle.

In this way, the speed will be slowed down, but the casualties will be smaller and more stable.

"Hair crossbow—"

When the golden soldiers approached a distance of three hundred paces, the eight-bull crossbows lined up in front of them opened first.

Sharp ballistas shot straight out. The so-called shield wall heavy armor is simply vulnerable in front of the ballista. But, like the front-loading gun, it takes a 'very long time to reload relative to the battlefield' after a single shot.

By the time the Eight Bull Crossbow fired for the second time, the Jin soldiers had already advanced two hundred steps in front of the formation.

"Shoot-"

Taking advantage of the fact that the golden soldier's shield wall was shattered by the crossbow gun, a divine arm bow was also fired at the same time. Otherwise, when the broken shield wall of the golden soldiers is reassembled, and the divine arm bow is shot again, the effect will be much worse than now.

However, no matter how long the distance is, there will be a moment when it will be finished.

When the golden soldiers also came like rain with bows and arrows, hand-to-hand combat inevitably began.

The heavily armored soldiers on both sides collided in one place like two mad beasts, not avoiding each other. Spears, knives, axes, maces, iron bones, and sticks, all the minions and teeth are down, blood flows, and flesh and bones are thrown away.

Personal bravery seems to be insignificant under such a wrestling, because no matter how high your martial arts are, seven or eight maces and iron bones will hit you together, which will make you difficult to parry. There must be skillful coordination, there must be a warrior who moves forward, and there is also cover for the warrior to parry left and right, so as to give the enemy the greatest damage.

And in such a tough encounter, Song Jun is obviously not Jin Bing's opponent.

However, with the sturdiness of the Buren Armor, the Song Army was not a bone to gnaw on, at least when they were full of physical strength and high morale, it was impossible for the Jin soldiers to tear them apart in one fell swoop.

Just when the battle in front of the battle was burning, there was a sound of hooves, and the fifth general turned around to see that Zhao Butry led the newly built artillery army to rumble over.

"The artillery army has been ordered to come to the rescue!" Zhao Buqian immediately saluted at the Fifth General, "The commander can ask the crossbowmen to retreat a little, and watch our artillery come to show their skills." ”
