Chapter 703: Yan Yun (26)
"Scatter bombs, three-pound cannons and tiger squat cannons at the same time!"
After two rounds of shelling, the Jin army was about to rush to the front. The rain of arrows was already falling in the air, and the screams were coming and going.
Here in the Qi army, the artillery carriages at the front of the array are the key places for the rain of golden soldiers and arrows, and the solid cotton armor is far inferior to the iron armor and leather armor for the defense of swords, guns, swords, clubs and other blades, but the defense of the arrows is very good.
Especially since they still have more or less sword and shield soldiers around them to take care of.
The commander at the head had two cards on his head, so that he could cross his waist and look at the golden soldiers opposite. He was very satisfied with the results of the previous shelling, and with only these two rounds, he estimated that at least 100 good casualties would be inflicted on the Jurchen barbarians on the opposite side.
It dealt a heavier blow to the opponent's sharpness.
Of course, there were only 2,000 Geng Shouzhong troops in the front army of the Jin army, and although the two rounds of shelling caused them some chaotic casualties and slightly weakened their prestige forward, this casualty was obviously a little less for the front army of the Jin army, which was full of tens of thousands of people. Therefore, the former army of the Jin soldiers is still rolling.
Under the command of the artillery. The twenty three-pound cannons were almost adjusted to the angle of direct fire, and at the same time, those tiger squat cannons were also adjusted to the state of direct fire. The rigorous training was reflected at this time, and although thousands of enemy troops were rolling in, the gunners' movements were still orderly.
As for the scattered shells loaded at this moment, they are the same as the previous shells, which are a whole of the cannon and the stock and the medicine pack. As for how the many guns of the scattered bullets are connected with the cartridge stock and medicine bag, it only takes a trace of the bag.
The silk bag is packed, the hemp rope is bound, and the grape bullet will be finalized. Silk bags and hemp ropes are very easy to spontaneously combust.
All the artillery pieces were neatly flattened, and dozens of dark and faint muzzles were facing the Jin army.
There were not only strong bows on the Qi army's array, but also countless powerful crossbows, but now the latter were all invisible. Because the Jin army on the opposite side moved forward with thick shields one by one, even if they fired crossbows in unison, it was difficult to inflict heavy losses on the enemy.
It's better to put it closer, and once it is fired, even if the shield is thick, it will not be able to hold on. Taking advantage of the chaos of the front army, it is more effective to shoot a crossbow with a strong crossbow.
Yang Zhi also thought like this, and everything was implemented as they thought.
The Jin army rushed to the front, and fifty artillery pieces of all sizes burst out together, and at the same time as a large stream of gunpowder smoke and flames burst out, countless cannons were already overwhelmingly attacking the Jin soldiers' front army within thirty paces.
These cannons were just thumb-sized broken iron projectiles, or round pebbles, only a few, and the flying cannons covered the entire front of the formation.
A terrible scream and howl sounded, just like a sea of wheat swept by the wind, and the ears of wheat fell to the place in unison, and a large number of soldiers in the front army of the Jin soldiers fell neatly in front of the Qi army array, especially the rows of sword and shield soldiers in the front, which were swept away.
Fifty large and small artillery, this number is not a small number, and the power of firing a salvo of scattered bullets at close range is extremely terrifying. It is likely to be comparable to the close-range salvo of thousands of muskets, and dense iron pellets rush towards you. But whoever is shrouded, no matter how thick the armor is on his body and how thick the shield is in his hand, he will not be able to hide from it. In front of the Qi army's infantry formation, hundreds of golden soldiers fell in Qi, and they all had blood holes with the thickness of their thumbs on their bodies.
"Put!"
Ignoring the crying and shouting in front of him, the cold and ruthless voice in the Qi army's array then sounded, and rows of powerful crossbows shot in sections, which were divine arm bows that could pierce heavy armor within a hundred steps. All the screams and cries of the Jin soldiers were instantly drowned under a cloud of death.
Geng Shouzhong cried.
As a Liao general, he knows the Divine Arm Bow and understands the power of the Divine Arm Bow very well. Therefore, he fled backwards without looking back.
What can we do now? The sword and shield soldiers in front of them were swept away, and the divine arm bow that was received was an unstoppable weapon, not to mention the strong bow of the Qi army.
If you don't mention anything else in this battle, just say that the front army attacked, it was already a defeat.
Just now, it was just the sound of the cannon, so he was called to tremble, and when he hesitated, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the sky! A cronie general next to him only screamed miserably, and he fell off the horse! A crossbow bolt straight into your chest!
"Divine Arm Bow!"
I knew it was not good at the moment, and hurriedly dismounted, and I felt that there was a whizzing crossbow bolt overhead. I didn't care about the soldiers anymore, and ran back with my legs! In a panic, even the helmet fell!
Geng Shouzhong is a general after all, and when he ran, the result was that the soldiers behind him shouted in unison and fled together!
The entire front army of the Jin soldiers has been beaten and dizzy, and at this moment, I suddenly saw someone running backwards with a shout, and it was not the same as learning. It must be known that the entire front army was originally the surrendered troops gathered by the Jurchens after entering Xijing Road, and the hundreds of iron horsemen who pressed the formation behind them were their own people.
As soon as Jin Jun fled like this, Qi Jun was greatly inspired, and he felt that he was full of strength at the moment, and he seemed to be much lighter when he pulled the crossbow and wound it. For a time, the strings were like thunderbolts, the arrows were like flying locusts, and only the sound of the roar was heard endlessly, and the golden soldiers who fled for their lives with their backs exposed fell to the ground one after another, and the sound of wailing resounded on the banks of the Sanggan River......
Although Geng Shouzhong fled the earliest, he did not rush to the front, not because he was unwilling, but because he was in the front army of the front army, and his position made him wrapped in the middle of the defeated army.
As it turned out, he was lucky. When the group of people at the front of the deserters were nailed to the ground by the arrows that suddenly flew out of the Jin cavalry on the opposite side, Geng Shouzhong, who had already rushed to the forefront of the deserters, was shocked.
All the defeated troops were shocked, and then looked at the iron cavalry of the Jin army in front of them, which had already put on a momentum of wanting to charge, and everyone froze.
A golden-ringed rider leaped forward with his sword raised, roaring hysterically. Geng Shouzhong didn't need to listen to the interpreter's explanation to know what he said, but before he could run to the front, a general stepped forward first and said loudly: "So that the general knows that the firearms on the Han army are really sharp." Although the front army had marched forward bravely, hundreds of brave soldiers were instantly knocked to the ground by the firearms, so that there were heavy casualties, the army was in turmoil, and it was difficult for the soldiers to move forward in their eagerness! ”
The golden-ringed cavalry general listened to the explanation of the Han official behind him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and suddenly urged the war horse, before everyone had time to react, galloped to the front of the general, raised the knife in his hand, and saw the head fall to the ground, and the blood mist that spewed up made the noisy soldiers immediately silent as death!
Even Geng Shouzhong's heart was throbbing, he knew this person, who was a general in Datong Mansion in the past, and was also the head of the former army. In essence, it is no different from his loyalty. It's just that there are fewer soldiers under him. is such a person, and in the blink of an eye, he was cut off by Jin Ren's head. This person is not a big man like Wanyan Xianye and Wanyan Puluhu, but just a female Zhenmouke.
The death of a rabbit and a fox are sad and sad. Geng Shouzhong suddenly had the feeling that he was the little shrimp and was not regarded as a person by the Jurchens.
Looking at the bloody knife of the Golden Ring Rider, I felt a chill in my back. At the same time, he understood that no matter what he was doing today, the Jurchens would not let him surrender like this, and if he turned around and charged, he would be asking for his own death. After you reduce your money, you can get preferential treatment, and all you rely on is the soldiers under you. If they are all paid in front of the battle, then which bird feather will they be counted in the future?
Geng Shouzhong was bitter in his heart. I deeply regret why I thought about surrendering that day, but the path I chose was to kneel and only go down.
But the thought only swirled in his head, and it disappeared immediately. Nan'er in front of him has such a divine weapon, even if the Jurchens are invincible, they are invincible, but they are flesh and blood, how can they win?
The scene of hundreds of heavily armored warriors falling down in unison was too terrifying. is the Jurchens, the Jin Army's iron horse, the momentum of the rush is like thunder, and no one can take care of it, but there is no one to do it at the right time, but the impact on Geng Shouzhong is stronger than that of the appropriate talent. The Central Plains Imperial Court has such a sharp weapon, who is still their opponent in the whole world? Then he went to shake the Qi army with a handful of defeated soldiers, it was not enough to die for fear of death.
That's it, it's all about saving your life.
Geng Shouzhong suddenly shouted in the chaos: "Brothers, let's all disperse." Hugh is going to die, save your life first! "It's not that I know that my subordinates don't have the courage to come to the battlefield anyway, and they fight back, Geng Shouzhong is really like giving Jin Jun a blow.
But he knew that none of the people under him, as well as those Xijing Dao troops who were also in the front army, would have the courage to strike a counterattack against the Jin army.
In this case, then simply call it away. This is also to help the other side, and it is better to atone for the sins in the future, right?
Then the sergeants around them were in a commotion.
It was said earlier that in a battle, the real death in the battle between the two armies is far less than the number of people killed in the pursuit. The reason is that there are very few backbones of the first army. Under normal circumstances, the feudal army often collapses after one casualty, the strong army that collapses after two percent of casualties, and the pillar of the country that collapses after three percent or more casualties can sweep the world with one army. Even like the current Qi army, if an army fighting alone loses 30% of its strength, it will also lose its combat effectiveness.
Because there are a number of warriors in an army, you can't expect that all the soldiers under your command are not afraid of death, and after seeing others die in battle, you are not afraid of death.
These valiant soldiers are the backbone of an army.
And the ordinary feudal army, the whole army suffered casualties, and I am afraid that those who dare to fight and kill will almost be exhausted, and the rest will naturally be vulnerable.
Just like the current Jin Bingqian army, it is normal for tens of thousands of people to collapse and flee after hundreds of brave men in the front row rushed to the streets. Not to mention that there is Geng Shouzhong in the middle.
The more than 30,000 people pursued by the Jin army in the south suddenly disappeared 10,000, but the Wanyan slope in the rear also flashed. He never thought that such an unbelievable and ridiculous thing would happen in front of him! What's even more hateful is that he can't send troops and horses to pursue such shameless villains.
He still has a lot of men and horses in his hands, especially the horse army, which has as many as 10,000 people. This is a powerful force, although there are a lot of Khitan troops in it, but it seems 'stable' when the Jin army is overwhelmed by the iron cavalry. As for the infantry formation, after the loss of the front army, the remaining more than 10,000 infantry armor, seventy or eighty percent of them were the Jin army brought by Wanyan Xianye and Wanyan Puluhu, although they were shocked at the moment, they could also stand in position.
But morale must have fallen a lot, and there is not a little bit left of the spirit.
Wan Yan's displeasure is Yang Zhi's excitement.
The green-faced beast commanded backwards, but it called the infantry on the left and right wings to step forward in unison. The flag-bearer behind him waved the flag again and again.
Luan Tingyu and Wu Song, the second general, did not hesitate at all after receiving the military order, and the two wings of the army flew together, stepping on the drum and rushing straight to the Jin army. It's like a big pair of pincers, pinched hard from the left and right.
Seeing tens of thousands of gold soldiers 'scattering birds and beasts' in front of him, the morale of the Qi army no longer knows how high it is. Whether it is a soldier or a general, then no one is afraid to engage in battle.
"Knock knock knock ......" The war drums thundered.
