Chapter 492: Defeat of the Liao soldiers

Yeluxiong is really ruthless, as soon as he came up, he adopted the tactics of strong attack, almost 10,000 cavalry, 10,000 infantry, and 10,000 horses galloping and thundering. Looking at the Jeju army position, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Lu Junyi and others are firmly in the formation. This is the first time Lu Junyi has seen a large-scale battle of the Jeju army, and it still looks very strange, only to see that the giant shield soldiers of the front army on the Jeju army position have put down the giant shield, revealing the Vulcan spear that grew inside, and the black barrel of the gun is on the iron frame. The soldier with the Vulcan was staring nervously ahead.

Three hundred tiger squat cannons were also in place, and the artillerymen had prepared their arquebuses.

The war horses of the cavalry of the Liao army are still very good, after all, the Liao country is a horse-producing country, and it soon rushed to about 400 meters.

"Open fire." The officer commanding the Tiger Squat Cannon shouted in a voice like a gong.

The soldier with the arquebus quickly lit the arquebus, and the arquebus burned at an extremely fast speed, boom, boom. The huge sound and smoke quickly covered the artillery position, three hundred goose egg-sized flowering shells were shot out, the tiger squat cannon was not very well-made, and the quality of the gunners was also very different, the shells shot out were quite scattered, but the Liao soldiers charged a large area, three hundred shells were not wasted at all, all of them were blown up into the ranks of the Liao soldiers, and the instant effort was that hundreds of cavalry were blown over, and more Liao cavalry horses were injured, and they did not obey the orders of the cavalry and began to run around.

After the artillery fired, the gunner's door was immediately ready to load ammunition, at this time the Vulcan gunner fired, the first batch of a thousand Vulcan guns, hit a solid iron egg the size of a soybean, the hot iron egg spewed out from the long barrel, suddenly, the muzzle emitted a huge muzzle flame and smoke, only to see the Liao soldiers who were charging on the opposite side as if they had encountered a magic barrier, and in an instant hundreds of cavalry fell, some of the war horses ran and ran and fell, the cavalry above was planted on the ground, and the cavalry behind could not dodge, and the cavalry in front was trampled into mud. org Yavin

After the first round of Vulcan shots, the gunners quickly retreated, and the second round of musketeers fired again, followed by the third round of musketeers.

Chao Gai shook his head and said: "The firepower is still too weak, give the order, exchange the bombs"

Lu Junyi's mouth opened wide next to him, and he said in surprise: "In an instant, the Liao cavalry lost 2,000 people, why do you still say that the firepower is not strong?"

Gongsun Sheng explained: "Although the Liao army has suffered heavy losses, it is already very close, so it must be reloaded, otherwise it will not be able to suppress the Liao army." ”

Lu Junyi stopped talking, and looked carefully, the Jeju Army's brand-new tactics and tactics were enough to change history and adapt the Great Song Dynasty.

It was the 300 artillery pieces that fired again, this time it was a scattered bomb, a cannon was hundreds of iron sand the size of mung beans, and the iron sand shot out by the 300 artillery pieces formed a barrage, and the charging Liao cavalry was unlucky, as if the waves hit the reef, and the Liao soldiers fell in pieces, and this round of artillery went down, and more than 1,000 cavalry fell. Followed by the Vulcan gun, this round of Vulcan gun was also replaced with scattered bullets, the lethality of the scattered bullets is small, but the killing area is large, and thousands of cavalry were injured at once.

The Liao army that charged was blinded and began to retreat, the atmosphere on the battlefield was very strange, Yeluxiong was a little confused, he had learned about the artillery and Vulcan guns of the Jeju army, but he didn't expect it to be fierce to this extent, and the more than 10,000 cavalry who charged at the front almost lost nearly 5,000.

"Collect the troops." Yeluxiong had to give the order to retreat, and even if he didn't give the order to retreat, the charging Liao soldiers could no longer bear such huge casualties and retreated on their own.

Qin Ming had a hot temper and came over and asked, "General, let's charge the cavalry and go up to extinguish their prestige." ”

Yang Zhi, Shi Jin and others of the vanguard army also asked for battle.

Luda said: "Let the Sprinkle family lead thousands of soldiers and beat them with 300 Zen staffs." ”

Chao Gai said with a smile: "Although the Liao army was defeated, but the main force was not damaged, what they were afraid of was our firearms, and the short-handed battle was exactly what they thought, and they would make a decision after looking at the movements of the Liao soldiers." ”

Yeluxiong collected his troops and went back, the Liao army was regrouped, leaving thousands of wounded Liao soldiers on the battlefield, and the wounds caused by the scattered bullets were very painful, and the wounded soldiers kept wailing.

Gongsun Sheng shook the dust of the Buddha and said: "Immeasurable Tianzun, general, the Liao army has a lot of wounded soldiers, please temporarily truce and let the Liao army collect the wounded." ”

Chao Gai said: "Gongsun Junshi is merciful, let's temporarily truce for half an hour, and let the Liao soldiers collect the wounded." ”

Immediately, the Jeju army found a loud voice and shouted to the opposite side: "My military division is merciful, a temporary truce for half an hour, we will not attack you, please send troops to collect the wounded." ”

Yeluxiong was very surprised when he heard this, how many years have the Song and Liao countries been fighting, and the hatred is very great, I didn't expect the Jeju army to be so merciful, but after thinking about it, no, there are at least 3,000 wounded soldiers on the battlefield, and it is necessary to mobilize at least 4,500 or even 6,000 people to collect these 3,000 wounded soldiers, and the Liao soldiers have limited military doctors, and they also watch the wounded soldiers die.

"Dashuai, take it or not." The next general asked.

Yeluxiong said: "Accept." ”

Yeluxiong rode a tiger and was difficult to take, and if he didn't collect the wounded soldiers, what would the Liao soldiers themselves think, and it would delay a lot of manpower and material resources to collect the wounded soldiers.

The Liao soldiers gathered the wounded, and Chao Gai said: "The cavalry is ready, and the Liao army will attack when it retreats." ”

"Yes." The order was conveyed and the cavalry began to prepare.

The Liao soldiers hurriedly put the wounded soldiers back, and the morale was greatly reduced, although the main force of Yeluxiong was still there, but seeing that the soldiers had no desire to fight, they had to order a slow retreat.

Chao Gai personally commanded 8,000 cavalry in pursuit, and at the forefront were more than 1,000 cavalrymen with crossbows, and hundreds of casualties after the Liao army was broken with a round of crossbow arrows.

"Kill." Chao Gai's painting halberd waved and rushed first. Generals such as Qin Ming, Sun An, Huang Xin, and Lu Junyi led the cavalry to follow closely.

Soon caught up with the Liao soldiers with his buttocks, Chao Gai knocked over a Liao cavalry with a halberd, Luo Yun followed closely to the left and right, and the cavalry beside him were as fierce as tigers, and the feather arrows shot forward. Sun An, Qin Ming, Huang Xin, and Lu Junyi on the two wings were like sharp blades, leading the cavalry to rush into the tail of the Liao army, chasing and killing five or six miles, and annihilating seven or eight thousand Liao infantry soldiers.

Chao Gai ordered: "Yang Zhi and Niu Gao, lead the cavalry archers to follow the Liao soldiers from afar and observe the movements of the Liao soldiers, Qin Ming and Sun An lead the cavalry to guard, and Gongsun Junshi leads two thousand soldiers to clean up the battlefield." ”

The Liao soldiers were defeated, and at first Chao Gai thought that the Liao soldiers were defeated, but he didn't expect that they were really defeated, and they were defeated so completely.

Gongsun Sheng captured thousands of Liao prisoners and strung them with ropes. The wounded soldiers on their own side were carefully treated, and a group of Taoist priests were still comforting the wounded soldiers. The corpses of the soldiers who had died in the battle were also gathered up.
