Chapter 222: Great Victory (Part II) (Ask for Subscription!) )
…
"It's our turn to attack!"
Yelu Buddha thought that when he reached one hundred and fifty paces, it would be their turn to use the bows and arrows of the Liao people.
But at this moment, the soldiers of the left army of the god machine dragged down the coarse cloth on the things that were covered by the coarse cloth distributed among them.
Immediately, the top of Yelu Buddha saw that there were two kinds of things under the coarse cloth.
One is a long, thick octagonal wooden barrel.
The other is a large iron bucket with a certain thickness and a length of feet.
These two things were all set up in mid-air by iron shelves, and there were hundreds of them each, and they were regularly scattered among the Song army on the opposite side.
Jerodhoo thought to himself, "What the hell are these things?" ”
But—
This thought only flashed in the mind of Yelu Buddha.
The battle has begun, they are only less than one hundred and fifty steps away from the Song army, and if they think about it again, what point can they have except to shake their will?
Thinking of this, Yelu Buddha shouted: "Prepare to release the arrow!" ”
With Yelu Buddha's order, all the Liao soldiers began to draw their bows and arrows.
At the same time, Zhang Xian also said: "Release the arrow!" ”
With Zhang Xian's order, a group of soldiers of the Divine Machine Army lit the fuse on the octagonal wooden barrel.
Seeing that he was about to reach the land of an arrow, Yelu Buddha shouted: "Sons, let these despicable Song people see how powerful our Daliao warriors are, and let them shoot arrows!" ”
But at this moment!
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
“……”
An overwhelming array of rockets came from the opposite side!
What shocked Yelu Buddha was that there were no less than 10,000 rockets on the opposite side!
"How is this possible?" Yelu Buddha couldn't believe it at all!
That's right.
This octagonal wooden barrel is a kind of firearm made by the craftsmen of the Jin Wujun under the guidance of Cai still - a swarm of rockets.
Moreover, unlike the swarm of bee rockets in history, the swarm of bee rockets that Cai still directed the manufacture of still used granular black powder, in other words, the power of the swarm of bee rockets of the Jin Wu army was much greater than that of the swarm of bee rockets in the Ming Dynasty.
During the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army once defeated the peak Mongol army of the nomads with a swarm of rockets.
Now, the Jinwu army is fighting against the already declining Liao army with a more powerful swarm of rockets, and the result can be imagined.
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
“……”
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
“……”
After two more rounds of swarm rocket salvos, at least nearly 2,000 men and horses of the Liao army were killed by a swarm of bees.
Yelu Buddha was lucky, and he survived these three rounds of swarming.
Yelu Buddha Ding wanted to lead the remnants of the Liao army to retreat, but his previous pride did not allow him to give such an order, the key is that the five or six thousand cavalry on the opposite side are ready to bite and kill them, if they dare to flee, they will definitely suffer a complete defeat, and more importantly, Yelu Buddha Ding's back hand has not yet come out, and the outcome of this battle has not been completely decided, as long as they can rush into the battle formation of the Song army, buy enough time for the three thousand strange soldiers he deployed, They will be able to turn defeat into victory.
The battle isn't over yet!
At this moment, the wives and concubines of Yelu Buddha, who were standing on the top of Yelu Buddha in the distance, suddenly shouted:
The Khitan family lives in the clouds and sand, and the car is like a dragon.
In spring, the grass is 10,000 miles colored, and the peony peony is red.
The big beard leads the car and the small beard dances, and plays the hu pipa and tunes the bearded girl.
A spring wave does not return home, and it has its own dome barrier.
The soft grass in the flat sand is fat, and the beard is surrounded by thousands of riders.
The soap flag is low and urgent, and the sheep is shocked to fly in the air.
Haidong Jianhu is as healthy as promised, and he looks at it in one fell swoop.
Thousands of miles of chasing is unknown, and the lines are falling one after another.
Pingzhang is handsome in the world, and drives the Hu at sea every year.
A goose gets a hundred taels of gold first, and the angel sends the virtuous king's house.
The flying iron of the swan is the wing, and the child can see it in the air.
There is a new ginger in the abdomen, and the yuan is the Jiangnan meridian food......
This is the very famous "Khitan Song", which originally described the nomadic hunting life of the Khitan people, showing that the Khitan people can sing and dance, be vigorous and martial, and be bold and unrestrained.
But with the rise of the Jurchens and the decline of the Khitan, the taste of this "Khitan Song" can't help but change, and it has become a reminiscence of the past glory.
This is also a song that the Khitan people have often sung recently, and they recall the glory of their ancestors through this song, asking how the dignified Da Liao became like this?
They are puzzled!
They are furious!
They want to change all that!
Therefore, as soon as this song sounded, the hearts of the Khitans, who had been crushed by a swarm of rockets, quickly condensed again, they became dead, and they became indomitable!
The changes of the Khitan people deeply infected the Han people, Xi people, Bohai people, and Zubu people in the Liao army, and they also followed the Khitan people to continue to charge.
Actually-
In Zhang Xian's mind, a swarm of rockets can already defeat the Liao army, and the rest is the time for the Beiwei army to perform.
However, what Zhang Xian didn't expect was that the Liao army on the opposite side would still have the strength to stand in the face of such a fierce attack that they had never seen or heard of.
As a soldier, Zhang Xian couldn't help but admire the commander opposite, and even respect the commander opposite.
Out of this admiration and respect, Zhang Xian decided to give the commander on the opposite side the greatest respect - to defeat him completely.
So, Zhang Xian said: "Pass the order down and open fire." ”
As Zhang Xian's order was conveyed, the soldiers of the left army of the Shenji immediately lit the fuse on the iron bucket.
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
“……”
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
“……”
The impact of the huge explosion, where it passed, people turned on their backs, and many of the Liao soldiers and war horses who were blown down did not even have a wound on their bodies, but they bled from seven holes!
The exploding black smoke swept the earth tighter and tighter, and many columns of black smoke that exploded swept into the air like a whirlwind from the sandy land that had been blown up!
Under the shroud of this seemingly boundless black smoke, there were roars, shouts everywhere, cries of collapse everywhere, heart-rending moans everywhere, shouts between acquaintances everywhere, people everywhere, people everywhere were trampled and squeezed, and the terrified Liao army soldiers were scurrying around the battlefield at a loss, and there was despair everywhere......
Yelu Buddha, who was blown off the horse, fled to the front with a roll!
He was lucky, because he was at the forefront, far away from the place of the explosion, he could escape the shelling without danger, and those Liao soldiers who followed him in the charge were not so lucky, they were undergoing an overwhelming baptism of artillery, whether they could survive or not, it was all up to luck.
At this moment, "tick-tock-tock......", the charge horn sounded.
Immediately, the Beiwei army was dispatched, and the infantry of the vanguard army on the right also dispatched, and even the people who were escorting the things rushed forward......
In fact, the cannon of the left army of the god machine is the "cannon without conscience" that has a great reputation in later generations.
Speaking of which, this weapon is a helpless method adopted in the absence of heavy firepower. The main thing is to put a projectile in a gasoline barrel and use the force generated by the explosion to push the explosive package out.
As you can imagine from this rudimentary facility, this thing has no precision at all, and can only have an approximate direction.
In addition, the weight of the explosive package that needs to be ejected varies, ranging from a few kilograms to hundreds of kilograms, so how many projectiles should be used? It's all about personal experience, so the range is not accurate.
The most troublesome thing is that the individual explosive pack cannot be used, so it is necessary to use wooden planks to ensure the attitude, but even so, it will cause rolling during the launch, and it is not stable at all.
What's more troublesome is that this thing is prone to exploding.
At the end of the day, it's a random type of weapon.
This weapon was developed under specific conditions, and it was only effective against specific targets, that is, when the enemy's firepower was not good, the unconscionable cannon would be effective.
However, a cannon without conscience, no matter how bad it is, is also a real artillery, and it is a weapon of mass destruction that has a large caliber, and once it is fired, everywhere it passes, pillboxes, and people and horses will be blown away.
In this era without artillery, it is king.
Moreover, the most terrifying thing about the conscienceless cannon is not its power, but the shock.
After the unconscionable cannon bombardment, the man turned on his back, and few knights could still sit upright on the horse, no matter how good his riding skills were.
As a result, the soldiers of the Beiwei army who were waiting to bite and kill the defeated army were dumbfounded, because after the unconscionable artillery bombardment, the Liao army that could still escape on horseback was less than a thousand, and their cavalry army, which should have become the main force, became dispensable, and at this time, they were not even as useful as the infantry army of the front army.
By the time the three thousand strange soldiers under Yelu Buddha were killed on the battlefield, the battle was over, and the seven thousand Liao soldiers, except for the two or three hundred men and horses who escaped by chance, were either killed or captured, and even their commander Yelu Buddha was captured alive.
In the previous battles, the role of the Beiwei army was not played.
Seeing that the enemy's strange army was coming, Yang Zaixing immediately led the eight battalions of the Beiwei army to meet him.
Although it is not clear what happened on the battlefield, but the 7,000 army was wiped out, and they were still 3,000 men and horses?
Therefore, seeing that the Beiwei army was killed, the three thousand Liao troops immediately turned around and ran.
Yue Fei didn't care about Yang Zaixing and the Beiwei Army, but immediately made a decision and handed over the matter of cleaning the battlefield to the Shenji Left Army and the people, and then personally led the Xuan Feng Army and two battalions of the Beiwei Army to march quickly to attack Yingzhou City.
The defenders of Yingzhou City did not expect that Yelu Buddha would be defeated so completely and so quickly, but as a result, they were poorly prepared and were rushed into Yingzhou City in one fell swoop by the right side of the back army.
Next, there was no suspense at all, and the empty Yingzhou City was easily broken by the vanguard army on the right.
Yue Fei knew what Cai was most lacking and worried about, so after the city was broken, he immediately ordered someone to protect the grain and grass.
Because the city was broken so quickly, and because Yue Fei reacted too quickly, the people in Yingzhou City didn't have time to burn grain and grass at all.
After the war, Yue Fei hurriedly counted that there were as many as 700,000 stones of grain and grass in Yingzhou City, enough for 100,000 people to eat for more than half a year.
In addition, Yue Fei found 3,000 good horses and countless armor and baggage in Yingzhou City.
Great victory!
Yue Fei personally wrote a good news to Cai Ying, and then sent someone to send it to Cai still quickly......
