Chapter 119: Explosives Bag Falling from the Sky
readx;
The party camp under the Jingqiang wall is not far from the Jingqiang wall, about 200 steps. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The range of a bow and arrow is about 100 paces. As for flat shooting, those who can penetrate Yang in 100 steps can only be done by very powerful archers. To be able to reach a range of 100 paces, you must use a strong bow, and you have to be a very good archer. Under normal circumstances, beyond a hundred paces, the lethality of a bow and arrow is already very small.
Xifeng Yingdian estimated that the archer who injured himself with a cold arrow was estimated to be the strongest archer in Jingqiang Village, and he could shoot to a hundred paces. Xifeng Yingdian felt that the reason why the man was able to shoot himself was actually mainly because he was standing in front of the team, too close to the wall, and was a little careless. As for the stone throwing machine and the like, although the range is long, the fine seal Yingdian feels that the narrow wall of Jingqiang Village cannot be opened at all, and it is impossible to use the pressure at all.
Therefore, Xifeng Yingdian felt that his camp was set up at a distance of 200 steps from Jingqiang Village, which should be absolutely safe, and the city-guarding weapons in Jingqiang Village could not pose a threat to his camp at all. Closer to the wall, it can save some effort by carrying a board and a ladder to attack the city.
Of course, Xifeng Yingdian also has a plan, that is, to be closer to Jingqiang Village, maybe the soldiers in Jingqiang Village feel that there is an opportunity to sneak attack the camp on their side, and will come to steal the camp, so that he can just lead people to cover up and kill in the village. Although Xifeng Yingdian felt that it was unlikely that the Song army would come to attack his camp, he still held on to the hope of what happened.
But Xifeng Yingdian never expected that he did not wait for the Jingqiang Zhai soldiers who attacked the camp, but waited for ten huge explosive bags from the sky.
The distance of 200 paces is exactly within the range of the projectile for the stone thrower in Jingqiang Village. Of course, even if the camp of these party cavalry exceeds 200 paces, it is actually fine, as long as these explosive packs are thrown near their camp, they can still cause the war horses to be frightened, but the stuffed casualties in the explosive bags cannot kill the war horses and cavalry.
Of the ten explosive packs, more than half fell into the camp where the party cavalry under the command of Xi Feng Yingdian was stationed in the dark, and a few of them failed to be thrown into the camp, but fell outside the camp, but this did not affect the overall situation.
"Boom, boom, boom", a loud sound like thunder exploded inside and outside the camp in front of the mountain. In fact, when the explosive bag with a fuse falling from the sky, the sentry of the camp in front of the mountain had already discovered it and sounded the gong to warn it, but the reaction time left for the sleeping cavalry of the camp was too short. A few moments after the sentry posts in the camp sounded the gongs and warnings, the explosive packs had already fallen into the camp of the camp and exploded.
After the loud sound, in the smoke of gunpowder, the killing objects filled in the explosives package were blasted out in all directions by the huge impact of the black~ gunpowder explosion, and many war horses were shot and injured. The pain caused by the killer and the fear of the loud noise completely startled the warhorse.
The force of the war horse's pain was huge, and the war horses in the camp in front of the mountain broke free from the reins that tied them, brought out the horse pout, and ran wildly in the camp.
By the time the party cavalry heard the noise and jumped up and ran outside the tent to look for their horses, the horses were already running around the camp like headless flies. In the darkness, it was difficult to distinguish which was their own war horse, and those party cavalry did not dare to rashly run out of the tent to find it.
If you rush out of the tent, you are likely to be knocked away by a frightened horse. Those party cavalry whistled and called out to their horses, but these frightened horses were already red-eyed, galloping back and forth, just following the horses next to them, how could they still hear their master's whistle.
Some bold and anxious party cavalry ran out of the tent, trying to intercept and control the frightened horses, but they were all knocked away without exception. Of course, those who did not run out of the tent to intercept the frightened horses could not guarantee that they would be fine, and those frightened horses ran around regardless of it, many tents were hit, and the cavalry in the tent were naturally not spared, many were also knocked away, and many were covered under the tents, and then trampled by the war horses.
For a while, there was a wailing in the camp of the camp in front of the mountain, and the horses neighed constantly.
As soon as he fell asleep, he was woken up by the loud sound of the explosives pack. At first, he thought the ground was moving, and when he saw the small holes drawn by the **** iron nails, iron sand, iron thistles and other killers in his tent in the explosives bag, he knew that Jingqiang Village had fired the kind of weapon that could cause loud noises during the day and shoot countless iron sand and other killers.
It's just that Xifeng Yingdian can't understand how Jingqiang Village threw this weapon into his camp. The camp in front of the mountain seems to be lax, but in fact it is only on the surface, and the fine seal Yingdian not only arranged sentry posts in the camp, but also arranged many rangers to hide in the dark outside the camp to prevent the soldiers in the Jingqiang village from sneaking attack.
Xifeng Yingdian felt that it should be impossible for this soldier of Jingqiang Village to sneak up on his camp and throw out such a loud weapon. Of course, he never imagined that Jingqiang Village would be able to use a new type of small counterweight stone thrower to throw explosive packs on the narrow wall.
Xifeng Yingdian couldn't understand how Jingqiang Village threw this weapon that made a loud noise into his camp, so he didn't think about it anymore. Because now is really not the time to think about it, the first priority now is to control the situation.
Xifeng Yingdian hurriedly came out of the tent, wanting to command his subordinates to control the war horse. But after coming out, he found out that it was too late, and he was afraid that he was already powerless. Not to mention that in this chaotic situation, it is difficult to convey your own orders. Even if it is conveyed, it will be difficult for those of his subordinates to control those crazy war horses.
Zhong Hao and Yang Huaiyu didn't expect the effect of this explosive pack to be so good, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Yang Huaiyu hurriedly asked those soldiers to throw the remaining ten explosive bags into the camp camp in front of the mountain, striving to achieve greater results.
Zhong Hao helped those soldiers calibrate and use those stone throwers, and the gunpowder produced in Jingqiang Village was limited, and these explosives bags were the last ten, so as to strike at the party camp more accurately.
Soon, the calibrated stone throwers were launched one by one.
Xi Feng Yingdian looked at the fuse that flew from Jingqiang Village in the distance and ignited the explosives bag, and couldn't help but show despair on his face.
"Boom, boom, boom" I remembered again with a loud bang.
The most effective way to prevent the explosion is to lie on the ground, but how could these party members know that when they saw the terrifying explosive bag with the fire flying again, they couldn't help but run for shelter.
Countless iron nails, thistles, and iron sand shot out by the explosive force of the explosive pack into the bodies of the fleeing party cavalry. Although these party cavalry rested tonight and did not take off their leather armor in order to prevent the attack of Jingqiang Village, the iron nails and other objects shot out by the powerful explosive force were not at all blocked by the leather armor. Those iron nails and other lethal objects shot into the bodies of those party cavalry without hindrance, and many party cavalry rolled on the ground in pain and shouted.
A huge explosive bag exploded not far from Yingdian, and many iron sand and other killers that were triggered by the force of the explosion also shot at him. The fine seal Yingdian was dressed in iron armor, and the iron nails, iron thistles and other tinkling hits on his iron armor, but they did not penetrate it. Just when the fine seal Yingdian was a little happy, he suddenly felt a cold right eye, and then there was an irresistible sharp pain, and the fine seal Yingdian couldn't help but howl miserably.
A small iron nail hit the right eye of the fine seal Yingdian, although it was only a small iron nail, it was enough to blind his right eye.
Those war horses who were trampling around in the camp, and many of them were injured by the **** explosives bag filling, and the pain coupled with the restimulation of the loud sound made those war horses even more crazy.
After trampling frantically in the camp, he soon began to rush out of the camp again. The simple gate of the camp was soon smashed to pieces by some strong war horses, and these crazy war horses found an outlet like a torrent, and they ran and trampled away from the gate one after another.
Those party cavalry explosives were injured a lot, although few were killed directly, but with the medical conditions of the Xixia people, it is estimated that many of these people will die in the future. These iron nails, tribulus terrestris and other substances are triggered by the explosive force, the **** force is very large, the body is very deep, it is difficult to clean up, and it is very easy to be infected, and the fatality rate after infection in this era is very high.
Most of the dead and wounded party cavalry in the camp were killed and injured by crazy war horses, and those war horses went crazy, and the destructive and lethal power was very amazing.
Most of the war horses galloped out of the walled gate, and a small part of the remaining war horses were well controlled, and the party cavalry who were not injured in the camp in front of the mountain began to control the war horses and treat the wounded comrades.
These party cavalry obviously had some way of controlling the frightened war horses, and some party cavalry cavalry cavalry began to take out rope nooses, put them around the necks of the war horses, and pull the frightened war horses hard; There are also some more skilled horsemen who directly grab the mane of the galloping war horse and flip on the war horse, trying to control the frightened war horse. Just now, those frightened war horses were in groups and rampage, and these party cavalry naturally did not dare to try to control them, so they could only avoid it from a distance, so as not to be killed and injured, and now it is only a small number of war horses, so there is no such problem.
However, before the party cavalry could control the few frightened horses in their camp, they heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves.
………………
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was naturally a cavalry rushing out of Jingqiang Village.
As early as after the second wave of projectile explosive packs, Yang Huaiyu had already selected thirty soldiers who had good riding skills to go to the war battalion, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to storm the camp of the party and completely defeat this group of party cavalry.
In fact, the gate of Jingqiang Village was opened shortly after the second wave of explosives was fired. Thirty soldiers of the war battalion gathered in a formation behind the walled gate under the command of Yang Huaiyu and several generals of the Yang family, quietly waiting for Yang Huaiyu's order.
These 30 soldiers of the battalion were the most outstanding performers in the battalion training in the past few months. Most of them had some foundation in horsemanship and martial arts before training, and in the past few months, they were basically barely qualified cavalry. Although it is still a lot worse than those elite cavalry, compared to the rest of the war camp, it is already considered a good horsemanship.
Although Zhong Hao knew that these could only be regarded as barely qualified cavalrymen to rush to the camp, and it was very likely that there would be a lot of losses, but he also knew that it was impossible for a soldier to become a good soldier without fighting in a battle formation, just like a blade that could not be hardened and could not become a sharp blade, if he wanted to become a qualified cavalryman, he must grow up in the flames of war, so he also supported Yang Huaiyu's plan to take advantage of the chaos of the party camp to rush the camp in order to completely defeat this group of cavalry.
Of course, there is also a major reason that the party's camp is indeed in chaos, the resistance should not be too strong, and the possibility of success in the camp should be very large.
However, although the Xia army camp has been in chaos, the soldiers of these war barracks are still very worried about storming the Xia army camp, after all, this is the first time to kill the enemy in a cavalry battle, and they still have to face the party cavalry known as fierce.
Yang Huaiyu saw that the morale of the soldiers in the war camp was not high, so he shouted loudly: "My Great Song Dynasty has the most generous reward for the western thief, and if you behead one level, you can reward eight pieces of money, and if you behead two levels, you can make a turn." Seeing that the Xia Army's military camp was in chaos, if you don't work hard for merit at this time, when will you wait! Cut off a few heads, that is the credit of the sky, and you will no longer have to be looked down upon in the future! ”
As soon as they thought of this rich reward, the soldiers of the war battalion forgot their fears, which was a great achievement, and they looked at the party cavalry who were tired of dealing with the frightened horses in the camp, and they could not help but have a shiver in their eyes, these heads were all war merits and rewards. That fear has long been washed away by money and military exploits.
These thirty soldiers of the war battalion, plus Yang Huaiyu and the four generals of the Yang family, formed a sharp triangle of sharp arrow formation.
The Pingxi army is a box army, and the prison camp is a matching army, and there is not much armor and weapons. Zhong Hao brought all the weapons and armor of Jingqiang Village and equipped these thirty soldiers.
Yang Huaiyu and the rest of the generals followed Yang Meng as the second strongest of the arrows, as the left and right wings. Originally, Yang Huaiyu wanted to do this sharp arrow, but those families did not agree, this stubborn thing was dangerous, if the young master of his own family was injured, how to explain to his own head of the family, so they resolutely did not let Yang Huaiyu be the sharp arrow.
Behind Yang Huaiyu and the four Yang generals were the thirty cavalrymen of the war battalion in the shape of a wild goose, of which the outer ones were all soldiers armed with horse lances, and in the center of the front arrow array were the only few archers in the war battalion who were good at riding and shooting.
Yang Huaiyu has been observing the party camp, waiting for the opportunity to attack. When he saw a large number of horses galloping out of the camp, he knew that his opportunity had come.
These hundreds of frightened war horses were in the camp, Yang Huaiyu didn't dare to let people rush to the camp, in case his own sharp arrow formation collided with this group of frightened and crazy war horses, his group of people would definitely suffer a lot of losses. Now that most of these war horses are galloping out of the gate, there is no such problem.
Yang Meng picked up the two-zhang long horse lance in his hand, urged the war horse, and began to charge with this sharp arrow.
