Chapter 802: Corpses Everywhere [Ask for Subscription]
"Shoot the arrows!"
With a cold military order without the slightest emotion, dense raindrops of feather arrows and crossbows flew out from the Qi army's array, drawing semicircular arcs in the air, falling rapidly, covering hundreds of people in front of the array in an instant.
How could the women, children, old and weak, who had been forced to rush to the front, not know that they were in danger?
But they can't help but go. The huge force behind them pushed them forward, and they couldn't stop even if they wanted to.
They couldn't see the group of archers behind the shield wall, but they could all see the cannons in front of the Qi army, crying and begging one by one, but they were still highlighting the loud shouts of several Qi army heralds in front of the formation and continued to move forward.
Until a puff of arrows flew down......
This scene in front of him may appear again and again in the nightmare of today's Qi soldiers for many years to come.
Within a hundred steps, all the people, men, women, and children without wheels, were shot and killed without distinction under the baptism of arrows!
Lodging corpses strewn across the front lines of the Qi army, blood pouring from dead or still gasping bodies, staining large expanses of dirt red.
After witnessing the resolute ruthlessness of the Qi army, countless women and children in front of the battle immediately cried hoarsely, they stopped, unwilling to rush forward, no one was willing to die!
"Cry, cry, cry, it's a nest. If you don't fight to the death with the Tartars, and come to the battle, isn't it the same as death? Wang Gui scolded angrily, but there was a faint trace of moisture in his round eyes.
There are still some people among the people who muster up the courage to fight against the Jurchen soldiers who drove them into battle, but how can these unarmed people, women, children, old and weak fight against beasts wearing armor and holding sharp blades? The battlefield suddenly became a slaughterhouse! The people who were driven by the Jurchens to approach the Qi army again were shot down by a burst of arrows, slashed by knives and guns, and let out a cry of despair!
"We are also Han'er ......"
"Save my child, he's only five years old......"
"Brother, run, run......"
"A-Niang, A-Niang, I ...... pain"
"Brute, brute, God doesn't open his eyes......"
The people in front stopped, but the people behind them were desperately squeezing forward. For a while, I don't know how many people in the crowd fell to the ground in the pushing, and then died at the feet of their own kind. There were old men, children, and women......
Hearing such a voice, I don't know how many bloody men in the Qi army array gritted their steel teeth, and they couldn't wait to cut the Jurchen beasts with a knife.
But at this moment, the herald's loud voice sounded again in the military formation.
"The general has an order: the whole army will show that it will be suppressed, and those who dare to enter without an order will be killed!"
What a basin of cold water. But this is war.
The battle array is a whole, and it is never the courage of the individual, but the strength of the collective. Attacking in vain and acting without authorization destroys the integrity of the Qi army's battle formation as a whole, and this is not the work of a real soldier!
Yue Fei didn't know when he had arrived in front of the battle, and raised his bow, this was a three-stone treasure bow, and there were very few people with such a hard bow hanging on the saddle. It is Yue Fei's brother-in-law Xiao Li Guanghuarong's bow, and it is only two stones.
Skillfully stretching his bow and arrows, aiming at a Jurchen general who was wielding a saber and slashing women and children!
"Stretch!" After the powerful vibration of the bowstring, the sharp feather arrow shot straight away like lightning, and instantly crossed a distance of more than 100 steps, hitting the thief's face, and saw the shaft of the arrow go straight through the head, fly out with an iron skull, and hit the chest of a Jurchen soldier before falling. And the entire head of the Jurchen general had been shattered as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and it was visually reduced by at least half.
A whining horn sounded in the Jin army's array. A large phalanx of infantry began to gain speed. Their equipment was roughly the same as that of the Qi army, with heavy iron armor and iron helmets, and in their hands they were either spears and broadswords, or blunt weapons such as maces and hammers.
The person at the head is the second son of Aguta. Aguta was an important assistant in controlling the military power of the Jin army. The name of the second prince in the official history is also prominent.
"Kill, kill all the Nanban, my Dajin will win!" He shouted loudly.
The heavily armored golden soldier brandished his weapon and slashed behind the crowd, and the broadsword and spear slashed mercilessly, bringing up pieces of blood. Compared with the method of using intimidation and intimidation to drive away the crowd supplemented by the main killing, it is too cruel and ruthless. It was not their compatriots who were beheaded and killed, but unrelated foreigners.
And their only purpose is to drive the people into battle!
Your Qi army can shoot as much as you like with light arrows, and so many people can make the archers of the Qi army shoot seven, eight, or ten rounds.
But archery is not a gun, and no matter how strong a soldier is, he must go down and rest after shooting one or twenty rounds. It can be said that the combat effectiveness is wasted.
Now he has shot seven, eight, or ten rounds first, but hasn't he already greatly consumed the Qi army before he took the formation? It depresses their morale even more.
In fact, this kind of tactics is not only used by the Jin army, but also often seen in the civil war in the Central Plains - coercing the old and weak as the forerunner, pressing the rear with strong soldiers, colliding with the enemy's formation, and getting ants to attack the city! This is the tactics that were commonplace in the two Han Dynasty, in the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and in the later Mengyuan, Manchu and Qing dynasties.
This is the cruelty of war, and it can also be said to be the 'essence' of military affairs: for the sake of victory, unscrupulous means!
"Shoot the arrows—"
The women and children rushed forward again, and the Qi army could only shoot again.
The rain of arrows once again fell on the old and weak women and children who were only covered by cloth!
Yue Fei was just silent, pursing his lips and looking ahead.
Looking at the old and weak women and children, the Jurchen heavy infantry marching in formation. Watch the latter waving that white military flag.
In the sound ......of war drums, the Jurchens marched forward in formation, as if they were moving cities, this is the real elite!
"Fire—"
There was a shout before the battle, and the three-catty cannon and five-catty cannon, which had not exerted their power for a long time, finally erupted with anger.
"Stretch Stretch Stretch ......"
At the same time as the cannon roared, the sound of the bowstring ejection also resounded, and on the battlefield, thousands of arrows were fired in unison, covering all the Jurchen armor soldiers and the old and weak women and children who rushed towards the Qi army in the rain of arrows.
It's just five volleys, and there is not a single person on the other side who can still stand!
The flesh shield of the Jin army was shattered, and they continued to move forward with their heads covered.
How many times have they been bombarded by Han'er's artillery, and they all know very well in their hearts the power of Han artillery, the more hesitant they are, the more time they give the artillery to reload, and the more they will suffer from the artillery.
So they rushed forward with their heads covered, omitting to even bend their bows and shoot arrows in return.
There was a clinking sound, and a rain of arrows falling from the sky fell on the bodies of the Jurchen hoplites in the front row, only splashing some sporadic fire points, and did not cause much damage at all.
The leader of the army, Wanyan Hulugu, was also hit by an arrow, and the feather arrow was inserted into the gap in the armor and hung on his body, but there was no pain in it. Compared to heavy blunt weapons, the power of the arrow is too weak and too weak.
Except, of course, the Divine Arm Bow.
The sound of the golden drum shook the earth and drowned out the roar of the tiger squatting cannon. It seemed that in just an instant, the entire battlefield was enveloped in this earth-shattering shouting and killing.
"Sons! Forge ahead! A Qi officer roared hoarsely, waved the broadsword in his hand, and led the long-card soldiers and pikemen to the front. The Qi army that the heavy armor sword and axe men arranged later, like an iron wall, pressed straight towards the Jin army that was scattered after the tiger squat artillery bombardment.
On the battlefield, the sergeants on both sides quickly collided together! The spears of the Qi army pierced into the chests of the Jurchen soldiers, and the iron bones of the Jurchen soldiers smashed into the heads of the Qi soldiers......
Heavy armor battles are always like this life-for-life.
Lin Chong looked at the front army that had become a group, and the Jurchens really invested a lot of money. These hoplites are their caretakers, right?
He also saw that the infantry armor of the Jin army had already split into two and outflanked the two wings of Yue Fei's army.
The leopard head was not worried about Yue Fei, the latter still had the trump card of 'Shocking Thunder' in his hand that had not been played. It will not be a problem in the short term.
Now he thinks it's time for the horse armies on both wings to make a move?
"What does the advisor think?"
"The governor is a little bit of a moment. Wait until General Yue defeats the enemy in front of him, and then send a signal to call the two wings of the horse army. Xu Guanzhong said.
Like Lin Chong, he is also full of confidence in Yue Fei.
Right now, these damn Jurchen Tartars, they don't have the slightest resistance to the earth-shattering thunder.
When to defeat the Jurchens is not based on the strength of the Jin army, but only when Yue Fei asks people to drop bombs.
Jin Wushu is also watching the battlefield where the two armies are fighting, and he is an inseparable backup. This is a monument-like figure in the history of the two Song and Jin dynasties, no matter which side of history you study, you can't avoid this person.
During the period of Aguda's expedition to Liao, he was no longer young, but he was never famous. That's not because he wasn't capable enough, but because he couldn't stand in his way.
The traditional rules of succession of the Jurchens are in the middle of the son-in-law. On the head of Jin Wushu's generation, there is not only Wu begging, but also Wanyan Xianye. These two people are one writer and one martial artist, and they are the left and right hands of Ah Guda.
There is also a living in Wanyan Xian, and it is enough for Ah Guda to drag out this one son, and then launch the Golden Vulture Technique, but it will create an imbalance in its internal forces.
In the official history, the Golden Vulture was also "ascended to the sky in one step" after the separation of immortality.
However, as the Sticky Drink force suffered a heavy blow, the Golden Vulture obviously rushed to the difference in the internal situation, and the decline of the Sticky Drink faction seemed to bring new light to his future.
The Golden Vulture was immersed in his own thoughts......
Suddenly, the guards beside Jin Wushu raised their hands and pointed and shouted in Jurchen language: "Fire thunder, fire thunder is coming!" ”
The scream immediately woke Jin Wushu, and he reflexively gasped and jerked his head forward.
I saw one hundred and ten black dots flying up from the position of the Qi army and falling towards the front of the Jin army!
"Don't blow up, don't blow up." The Golden Vulture meditated in his heart. In the previous defeat of the Liaohe, the Jurchens took away two earth-shattering thunderbolts that did not explode. The latter is what it looks like, and it is not mysterious to the Golden Vultures.
That's a powerful firecracker.
Although I don't understand why it is so powerful, the principle of the two is the same, both have squibs.
"Boom, boom...... Ahhhh......h Help......"
As soon as the golden vulture prayer fell, there were already one or two hundred elite heavy armor soldiers of the Jin Army who dared to fight and were blown to the ground! The screams rang out.
Some people who were injured but did not die were lying on the ground like a puddle of mud crying for their father and mother.
"Here we are, here we ...... again"
"Run! Fire and thunder are here again! ”
Wanyan Lugu hesitated a little at this time. Isn't it too embarrassing to be blown away by a group of iron bumps, and it's only a wave?
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Time waits for no one. Before Hulugu could think about it, the earth-shattering thunder had already exploded again, the formation of Rao is Jurchen heavy armor had been loosened, and there were still a lot of people trapped in the sea of fire and smoke!
The pimples of cast iron exploded under the power of gunpowder deflagration, and the iron shell that had already been reserved for the ravine shattered at once, turning into countless tiny pieces of iron, flying in all directions, like a scythe of death, wantonly harvesting life!
It's like musket against plate armor, no matter how thick your defenses are, in front of the cast-iron shards pushed by the explosion of the powder, it's just a mass of pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
But wherever the power of the explosion was affected, there were not a few golden soldiers who were still fighting in an instant!
