Chapter 410: Battle of Yongin 2
A series of explosions erupted from the position of the Chinese army in Goryeo, and white smoke rose up.
The gravel swept within twenty steps of the front of the Chinese army, and the Jurchen armored soldiers who were attacking in front fell in pieces.
The originally vigorous Jurchen veterans were suddenly in chaos, and most of the elites of Yinshuke had fought with the Qi army many times, and suddenly heard the sound of cannons, smelled the pungent smell of gunsmoke, and saw their comrades fall in pain, even the military spirit of the Jurchen armor soldiers was inevitably shaken.
The armor soldiers who were charging in front of them immediately dodged to the sides.
In fact, the Goryeo Army did not have artillery, the regular brigade did not, and the odd brigade naturally could not have it.
However, Xu Shizhen exerted his subjective initiative and picked up the wooden cannon used by the Qi army when he was a baby, and used it to make up for the lack of firepower in wartime.
In this attack on King Qin, Xu Shizhen brought out all 20 wooden cannons and released them at the critical moment of the enemy's charge.
The Jurchens in front of the Chinese army were temporarily repulsed, and Xu Shizhen was able to free up his hands to deal with the enemy who had outflanked him on the left flank.
The Jurchen armor soldiers in charge of outflanking had the courage to continue to rush forward, but dozens of armor soldiers with swords suddenly stood up in front of the Goryeo formation, these people skillfully drew their bows and shot arrows, and the Jurchen armor soldiers immediately heard a roar of heavy arrows tearing through the air.
Several Jurchen armor soldiers in the front row were all facing heavy arrows, and they fell on their backs without saying a word.
"It's a heavy arrow! Fight back! Meng'an, who took the lead in the charge, gave a loud order, and the Jurchen armor soldiers also stopped, shooting at the Goryeo army from a distance of less than twenty paces.
The front row of heavy arrows shoots flat, the back row of light arrows throw, both sides are arrows raining down, the Jurchen armor soldiers with a higher armor rate take advantage of the shooting, but the Goryeo army is more numerous, and relying on the cover of immediate fortifications, it can actually resist regardless of casualties.
Wanyan Yinshu looked at the battlefield and shook his head, he only had a total of 5,000 armor soldiers in his hands, and he fought with the Koreans, even if one for ten, it would be a loss.
What's more, looking at it like this, a Jurchen armored soldier can't exchange ten lives for the other party.
"Rush again!" Silversmith commanded firmly.
He had already seen that it was not the real cannon that drove the Chinese army back just now, but the improvised patchwork of wooden cannons, and the number seemed to be insufficient, and it fell silent again after a round just now.
In fact, Wan Yan Yinshu summed up the Qi army's artillery tactics that he had seen before, which seemed to be a continuous rapid fire at close range, pursuing the speed of launch, and relying on continuous slow strikes to weaken the offensive force before and after.
Now this practice of finding the right opportunity to play a round and then give up can only prove that the opposite side is indeed not a real Qi army.
If it wasn't for the Qi army, Yinshu was not afraid of white soldiers, on the contrary, he regarded white-knuckle combat as his magic weapon to win.
The war drums of the Jurchens continued to beat, and the armored soldiers on the central front gathered together again, summoning up the courage to charge the Goryeo army again.
Sure enough, as Wanyan Yinshu could imagine, the terrifying cannon sound did not sound again, but this Goryeo people were unprecedentedly determined, when the Jurchen armor soldiers approached the fence, a row of vicious spears stabbed out, almost all the armor soldiers in the front row were stabbed, all kinds of knives, guns and shields fell to the ground, and the Jurchen armor soldiers who were fatally injured grabbed the barrel of the gun tightly with both hands, and made a meaningless sound while spitting blood-red bubbles in their mouths.
The spear was put back, and then a row of Jurchens rubbed themselves and pounced, and returned fire with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and various cold weapons against the gap in the fence.
"Turn it over!"
With the order of the leader Meng'an, a group of brave Jurchen armor soldiers supported the fence with both hands, and deftly climbed over the fence, and more armor soldiers wielded large swords and heavy axes, chopping sawdust and began to try to dismantle this section of the obstacle.
Ahead, the Korean soldiers were beaten and retreated, and there were already faint signs of collapse.
At this moment, a loud cheer that made the Jurchen armor soldiers feel a little familiar sounded behind the Goryeo:
"Death to those who retreat!"
A bloody storm blew behind the Goryeo soldiers, and more than 20 instructors of the Blue Army Brigade cut down several Goryeo deserters in succession.
The Korean soldiers suddenly shuddered, and they all remembered the military discipline that these bald instructors instilled in them during the conscription - the wartime escapees, the nine clans!
The fear of the instructor and military discipline regained the upper hand, and the Korean soldiers let out meaningless howls from their mouths and brandished various weapons to launch a head-on counterattack against the enemy!
……
An hour later, Wanyan Yinshu had to withdraw his troops.
Just now, at the last moment of the imminent victory, the Goryeo Chinese army fought to the death, and the right wing also sent some reinforcements to reinforce it, but Yinshu still failed to eat this Goryeo soldier in the end.
After the soldiers retreated, there was a cheer on the Goryeo position, and the Jurchen soldiers gritted their teeth and were very angry.
Because judging from the results, today it was actually the Jurchens who won the battle - they eliminated the left wing of Goryeo, and they kept pressing the Chinese army to beat them violently, although they failed to eat each other, but today they eliminated at least 2,000 people from the other side.
And the Jurchens lost three or four hundred at most, and I really don't know what those Goryeo cowards have to cheer about.
Yinshu himself can understand them a little, after all, the former Goryeo people were synonymous with slaves and military exploits, and now they can actually withstand an attack by the Jurchen warriors, and it is natural to cheer.
Wanyan Yinshu looked at the position on the high ground immersed in a sea of joy, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth: "Let you be happy for a while, and then I will arrest all of you as Ahha." ”
"Master." Meng An, who was in charge of leading the charge just now, quietly came over and whispered: "Among these Goryeo maids, there are our Jurchen warriors!" ”
"Huh?" Yinshuke turned his head to look at him in surprise: "What's the matter?" ”
"Just now, the minions all rushed in, and dozens of Jurchen warriors stood up to help those Goryeo maids stabilize the situation again."
Meng An explained:
"The outflankers just now came back and said that there were Jurchen shooters shooting at them, causing a lot of casualties."
"Hehe, I thought that the Goryeo maid had grown up, and after making trouble for a long time, it turned out that he hired our Jurchens."
"No, master, the slave thinks that these people should be soldiers from Naqi Province!"
Wanyan Yinshu was awakened by these words.
A few days earlier, when they were annihilating the main force of the Goryeo army on the Imjin River, they had captured several Han Chinese, who were said to be instructors sent to Goryeo by Qi Province.
At that time, Yinshu thought that this was a deliberate lie made by the captive to elevate himself, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that a group of people suspected of being from the Qi army have been found to be commanding the Goryeo army, this seems a little unusual.
"Didn't the Qi army just do one vote in Goryeo?" Yinshu said suspiciously: "They will abandon their previous suspicions? ”
If he hadn't known about this, Yinshu wouldn't have dared to launch this attack.
