Chapter 59 Joy is not over-10

The cannonballs kept flying over the Liao army's forts, and suddenly with a "bang", they smashed into a group of gunners who were hunched over and ready to ignite the gunpowder primer, and the round iron bullets flying diagonally downwards hit the three gunners. The worst one was hit in the waist, and the whole body was broken into two, and all the internal organs flowed out. The other two were also killed instantly. There were still more than a dozen people waiting for this cannon, all of whom shrank around and did not dare to step forward, and some even squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. For the first time, these Liao gunners, who had been dealing with artillery all day long, experienced the horror of being hit by enemy shells.

"Bodhisattva bless!" The gunner soldier was still full of Chai Yidu's face was pale, and he almost wanted to vomit, he endured his nausea, and shouted angrily at those gunners: "What are you still doing in a daze!" Hurry up and pack up and get ready to fire! Another cannonball whistled over his head, Chai Yi lay on the ground without thinking, he didn't care about looking at the majesty of the time, he looked towards the opposite side tremblingly, the Jin cavalry charge line was getting closer and closer, the war horse stepped on the weeds without pity, the hooves were like thunder, and the earth was trembling slightly.

The large group of cavalry was less than two hundred paces from the frontal fort. Seeing that the Jurchen cavalry was getting closer and closer, Chai Yi never gave the order to fire, and the adjutant general next to him said loudly: "Lord Metropolitan Eunuch, don't you still open fire?" ”

Chai Yi was only looking for where the cannonballs of the Jin soldiers came from, and the adjutant general's shout, he trembled, came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Fire!" Fire! His voice was sharp and loud, and without waiting for the adjutant general to repeat, the surrounding artillery commanders hurriedly lit the medicine primer. This Chai Yi is also a talent, because the artillery used by the Liao army was cast in various periods, and the firing range and power were different, so he simply arranged the artillery on each fort into three groups according to the firing range, the long-range heavy artillery fired first, the artillery in the middle of the range followed, and finally the small artillery with a range of seventy or eighty paces fired together, and so on. As soon as the order to open fire was given, the adjutant general and the artillery guns continued to fire in the order in advance until Chai Yi gave the order to stop firing.

"Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-"

Eighteen heavy barrel cannons were the first to fire, the caliber of these barrel cannons was very large, most of the fire was stone shells, and the direction of the artillery's firing was also pre-set, and there was no need to adjust it during the battle, facing the height of the horse's head two hundred paces away. Eighteen huge cannonballs roared away, smashing into the charging Jurchen cavalry formation, and dozens of cavalrymen who were charging into formation were suddenly smashed into pulp. The fallen and frightened warhorses caused quite a bit of confusion, "Damn it! Wanyan Zonghan was almost hit by a stone bullet, and he didn't have time to be afraid, so he silently counted in his heart, "One, two, three,......"

This is to use the lives of hundreds of Jin cavalry to find out the law of the Liao army's artillery, when the farthest heavy artillery is fired, about after a stable count of five times, the largest number of artillery bases, the most lethal small and medium-sized artillery will be fired. After luring the enemy to ignite the primer, the cavalry charging the formation had to disperse to both sides as quickly as possible to reduce the damage from the artillery shotguns. Otherwise, the overwhelming projectiles on the front would cause a completely uncontrollable chaos, and when the Jin cavalry regrouped and stormed into the artillery fort fifty or sixty paces away, the Liao army would have a third round of artillery bombardment, and at the same time, the artillery that had been emptied in front had been loaded. The distance of two hundred paces seems to be very short, and you can rush through it quickly, but the horses and cavalry that launch the charge are flesh and blood, and as long as the artillery fire continues to cause confusion to the charging cavalry, these two hundred steps will become a dead end in sight.

"Five!" Wanyan Zonghan's heart was shocked, and he shouted loudly: "Disperse!" Disperse!" He bowed his body, forcibly turned the horse's head, and desperately urged the horse. The charging Jurchen cavalry was like a flock of frightened birds, scattering almost at maximum speed.

"Oops!" Chai Yi's face changed, except for the smallest artillery, most of the iron barrel cannons had already lit the leads, and the leads were sparkling, and some had already burned into the fire door, and a wisp of green smoke was coming out, and it was too late to regret it. Looking at the subordinates who were looking at each other, when Chai Yi almost regretted that his intestines were blue, behind the Jurchen cavalry that quickly dispersed, a small and simple artillery fortress was revealed. The shells that panicked the gunners were fired from there, whistling and constantly falling on the Liao army's artillery forts. A large flag was erected high there, and a cyan unicorn was embroidered on the black flag, which was the symbol of the Han Marshal's Mansion in Liaodong.

"Quickly report to Your Majesty, send a kidnapper horse to kick off the artillery in front!" Chai Yi shouted loudly.

At this moment, "Bang! "Ping-pong-" "Boom! More than 200 iron barrel cannons on the frontal artillery of the Liao army rang out one after another, and the sound was denser than the most intense firecrackers during the New Year in Bianjing, accompanied by the flash of the cannon, hundreds of black smoke rose into the air, and the artillery fortress was completely shrouded in a piece of smoke. The materials used in the Liao army's shotguns were extremely messy, including small iron projectiles, flying locust stones, crossbow arrows, and poisonous thistles, which broke through the air with various ballistics. Almost at the same time, the Jurchen cavalry fell from their horses one after another, and the war horses roared mournfully. Hundreds of Jin army kidnappers and horses who had not had time to flee were mostly damaged under the rain of bullets, and there were countless bullet holes on the corpses gurgling out.

"What?" The adjutant general asked loudly with his ears covered.

"Report to Your Majesty, send a kidnapper horse to kick the front fort!" Chai Yi wanted to draw his knife and cut him, but he couldn't care about it at all, because the cavalry of the Jin State that had just dispersed was concentrated again, and almost rushed towards the Liao army's artillery fortress at the fastest speed, this time, it was his own artillery fortress that was about to be kicked. Chai Yi's face changed greatly, and he shouted loudly: "Wave the flag, ask Your Majesty for help, quickly!" Fast! ”

The Jurchen cavalry, which had avoided the most powerful and dense round of bullets, was speeding up.

The deputy general immediately ran back, desperately shaking the black flag for help at the emperor's tent, Chai Yi didn't have time to look at the result, pulled out his waist knife, and shouted at the last round of small artillery gunners: "Listen to my orders, prepare-"

"Kill!" Wanyan Zonghan blushed and shouted loudly. This time, the cavalrymen did not have any burden or hesitation, and most of them hung their swords and spears on their saddles, and held their bows and arrows in their hands, ready to charge seventy or eighty paces before releasing their arrows. Behind the Jurchen cavalry in the front, Wanyan Dilie also urged the ten thousand cavalry in the rear to press forward, preparing to deal with the Liao cavalry that might rush out of the oblique thorn.

"Rush!" Wanyan Zonghan desperately urged the horse, and countless warriors followed behind him, with eighty steps to go...... Seventy steps...... Fifty steps...... Thirty paces, the speed of the cavalry has been increased to the fastest, and with a few breaths of time, they can rush to the Liao army's artillery base.

"Bang!" Bang bang! "Bang bang bang!" With a burst of explosions, more than 100 small guns on the Liao army's artillery fortress opened fire, and clusters of stone bullets and iron attacked head-on again. This time, the Jurchen cavalry galloping at high speed did not make any evasive movements, but only beat their horses desperately and rushed forward straight. In this instant, countless cavalry fell off their horses without even having time to hum, many war horses were injured by projectiles, and fell forward with huge inertia, and some cavalry behind had no time to dodge, and the two horses rolled and fell together. The formation of the Jurchen cavalry vanguard suddenly became chaotic.

Under such circumstances, Wanyan Zonghan could still release an arrow, drew out a scimitar, and shouted loudly: "Rush!" Rush forward! When he was struggling to urge the horse, suddenly a black shadow flew in front of him, and before he could react, he felt that his left shoulder seemed to be hit hard by a stick, and half of his body seemed to be numb. Wanyan Zonghan desperately twisted his waist to stabilize his figure, his face suddenly turned pale, his right hand tightly hugged the neck of the war horse, there was no pain at this time, his mind was blank, and he only muttered: "Liao dog!" "If you are crooked, you will fall off your horse.

"Lord Vice-Commander!" Two guards followed him immediately came up and helped him. According to the system of the Jin State, if Meng'an dies in battle, he will follow Mouke, and if he dies in battle, he will behead Meng'an. When the surrounding Jurchen cavalry saw that the deputy commander of the forward was shot and fell off his horse, there was a sudden chaos, and one of them shouted loudly: "Go back quickly!" This sentence provoked Yan Zonghan Lingtai to clear up for a moment, and pushed the guard away.

"I'm not dead yet!" After Yan Zonghan shouted fiercely, at this time, the pain in his left shoulder began to drill into his heart, and the sweat on his forehead also came down. His left shoulder was already unable to move, and he didn't care to check the injury, so he raised his scimitar in his right hand and shouted: "Rush with me, kill the Liao dog!" The surrounding subordinates saw that he was fine, brave as before, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they rushed towards the Liao army artillery fortress one after another, at this time the Liao army had emptied all the artillery, but did not cause uncontrollable chaos to the Jurchen cavalry, this distance of thirty paces, it was too late to load ammunition.

"Quick! Fast! The officer of the gunner army urged desperately, a large drop of sweat slipped down Chai Yi's face, and he looked at the cavalry who rushed straight towards him like a wave of rage, and the heavy sound of horses' hooves seemed to be faint thunder. When his gaze turned to the front, "There is also the Iron Wall Camp, the Iron Wall Camp!" He muttered like a nerve, "These death row inmates! Camp Ironwall! Chai Yi came back to his senses slightly, frowned and looked at the gunner who was hurriedly loading ammunition, his anger surged up, and he shouted and scolded: "If you don't want to die, hurry up!" "If the Iron Wall Battalion blocks the Jurchens, the hundreds of artillery pieces here can make the Jurchen cavalry know that they are powerful! Survive this period, and it is time for His Majesty's reinforcements to arrive.

Thousands of tall soldiers of the iron-walled battalion were walking from both sides to the front of the fort, they were all covered in heavy armor, armed with giant axes, long knives, maces and other weapons, but with iron chains around their waists, and strung them together in groups of five. Next to the Iron Wall Camp, there are also Xi Jun's foot soldiers who are also in armor, but their momentum is much more cringe.
