Chapter 50: Confidence Is Gained in Victory!

Shi Wen Gongchun skillfully controlled the war horse with his feet, and took out the large feather arrow from the quiver behind his back.

Shi Wengong pulled his bow and arrows, and shouted: "Shoot!"

With Shi Wengong's order, his hundred horsemen released their bowstrings almost simultaneously.

"Phew!"

Hundreds of arrows streaked across the sky in a beautiful line, and then, like a rain of arrows, fell on the heads of the stunned tribal allies with a tearing sound that broke through the air.

It has always been their nomads who use cavalry to bring death to the Song army, and they never thought that the Song army would have cavalry who knew how to ride and shoot.

The warriors of these tribes were not at all defenseless, and by the time they realized that something was wrong, they had no time to raise their shields to defend themselves.

"Ah......h

Screams rang out one after another among the tribal allies, and in this round, more than a dozen people were killed and wounded by the Utte tribe.

Without giving the T tribe much time to be surprised, the second wave of arrow rain of the Liangshan Cavalry Battalion struck again, falling like rain hitting a pipa, harvesting the lives of the warriors of the Lut tribe.

Previously, under the artillery attack, the Ute tribe suffered heavy casualties, killing and wounding nearly 100 people, and now another 20 or 30 people have died.

Originally, there were only more than 700 warriors of the Tute tribe, but since they fought with this group of Song troops, they have now suffered nearly 300 casualties, and if the opponent continues to shoot like this, the warriors of the Tute tribe will die.

He died, and now his prestige was the highest. He knew very well that if he completely exposed his back to an enemy who could shoot on horseback like this, it would make no difference to sending him to death.

What's more, now that he had escaped the killing range of that terrible weapon, he shouted, "Warriors of Ut, let these Song dogs see what a real cavalry is." Roll over and kill them! ”

He turned his horse's head first, grabbed the golden gourd hammer and killed Shi Wengong, who was rushing to the front.

Seeing the enemy turn around and kill, Shi Wengong immediately shouted loudly, "Collect the bow and take people's lives with a saber!" ”

Bows and arrows are very important and play a key role in suppressing the enemy and boosting morale.

But what really decides the outcome of the war in the final analysis has to rely on swords and guns.

Especially the cavalry, which can be killed in front of you in an instant. If you don't have time to resist with a knife or gun for a while, it will be tantamount to an empty-handed white blade and suffer a big loss.

So seeing that the enemy had been killed, Shi Wengong immediately ordered his subordinates to stop shooting and replace them with sabers.

He didn't know Shi Wengong at all, he just saw that the other party seemed to be the leader of this group of cavalry, and was leading the cavalry to shoot his own people.

Although it is not as good as the Tu Te, he is still quite confident in his own force.

He wanted to crush the enemy generals and crush the cavalry.

The enemy archers, although they were a great threat, were just a group of infantry. As long as their own tribe wants to withdraw, the other party has no way to stop it.

However, this group of cavalry is different, if they suddenly kill when the tribe moves in a big way, it will bring huge casualties to the tribe.

So even if you are defeated and retreat, you must deal with this group of cavalry first.

He let out a low sigh and smashed Shi Wengong's head with a golden melon hammer.

Seeing that the enemy was coming, Shi Wengong was not afraid at all, he quickly put the goldfinch painting treasure carving bow in his hand back into the flying fish bag, and at the same time picked up Zhu Yingzhang's two guns from the victory hook.

"swaddling~!"

After the piercing sound of gold and iron colliding, he was horrified to find that the opponent's Zhu Yingzhang fired two shots first, and he broke through his own golden gourd hammer like lightning and continued to stab fiercely.

In addition to the shock, he reacted quickly, leaned to the left side quickly, and used the superb horsemanship of hanging on horseback to avoid the fatal blow.

"Smack~!" With a soft sound, the two horses crossed paths, and after galloping about 20 paces each, they stopped.

"Okay, what a fast gun!"

Just one face, the other party's almost stabbing shot made him shudder, and he knew that he was definitely not the opponent of the person in front of him.

He regretted his stubbornness a little, and quickly turned the horse's head and wanted to escape.

Attack the Liao State and recapture Yanyun. His long-cherished wish to practice martial arts for many years has finally come true today.

Shi Wengong was very excited, with an excited look on his face.

Seeing that the other party wanted to escape, Shi Wengong grabbed the horse's belly and walked forward like a whirlwind. "Since you're here, leave your life behind!"

In order to win over Shi Wengong, the war horse he sat on was a silver-maned white horse carefully selected by Shi Jin, with strong horsepower.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Wengong approached the forehead of the emperor, and the two spears of Zhu Yingzhang in his hand went straight to the back of the forehead at a speed that broke through ordinary people.

While fleeing, he turned back to pay attention to the situation of the enemy general behind him, and saw that the enemy was attacking with a horse and a gun, and he had no time to dodge. He closed his eyes in despair.

At this time, two warriors from the Lut tribe arrived in time, and they swung their knives to take only Shi Wengong's head and arms.

In the face of the sudden attack of the two enemies, Shi Wengong snorted disdainfully, the spear in his hand was withdrawn at speed, and he quickly shot again.

As soon as the two warriors of the Tith tribe approached Shi Wengong, they were greeted by the shadow of guns in the sky.

The shadow of the spear disappeared, and the two soldiers of the special department were each shot three or four times, and fell from their horses with blood sprayed.

"Death to those who stand in my way!" Shi Wengong snorted, and the horse continued to chase and kill Te Se'e.

At first, when he saw two more people from the tribe coming to help, he initially thought about turning over and uniting with the other two to flank Shi Wengong.

Now seeing that they are not even Shi Wengong's generals, he can't afford to fight Shi Wengong again.

He kept knocking his horse's belly and hastened his escape.

Shi Wengong killed two enemies, but also slowed down. By this time, he had already retreated into the tribal array.

Although Shi Wengong knew that with his own ability, he could enter the enemy formation even if he was single-handed, and then get out safely.

However, the cavalry he is leading now has only been established for less than three months, and although these soldiers have good equestrian skills, they have not yet fully mastered the cavalry tactics, and they still need to command their own troops.

Shi Wengong had no choice but to give up the pursuit, and Le Ma slowed down, waiting for his men to follow and chase the enemy together.

It will be a gall in the army!

Seeing that Shi Wengong had no generals under him, he easily killed the other two people, so frightened that the other party could only flee.

Shi Wengong's bravery and the soldiers with the cavalry battalion brought incomparable confidence and soaring morale. The cavalry under his command showed excitement and fanatical fighting intent, and raised the swords in their hands and roared wildly. "Kill!"

After Shi Wengong retreated to the troops, he continued to lead the cavalry and continued to raise his saber to pursue the enemy.

After being under house arrest for nearly a year, and now he has finally been released, and it has been his long-cherished wish for many years to attack Liao, Shi Wengong is as excited as a tiger descending from the mountain.

He led a hundred cavalry to bring casualties to the tribal allies without stopping, chasing them all the way for more than 20 miles, and only when he saw that the enemy had fled without a trace, he led his troops back.

Shi Wengong was leading the cavalry in pursuit of the deserters when he saw the last of the tribal allies disappear in front of him.

Looking at the corpses of the local soldiers in the Liao army in front of him, Wang Yin's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said with joy but emotion: "Victory...... We have defeated the Liao soldiers! ”

Zhu Wu also said excitedly: "Yes! Under the leadership of the marshal, we defeated the Liao soldiers with small casualties. Although the number of exhibitors in this battle is small, it has been proved that we can defeat the Liao army, and we have the strength to recover Yanyun! ”

The officers and men of the Liangshan army did not oppose the attack on the Liao State, and they were all eager to recover Yanyun and complete the great cause that the Great Song Dynasty had never succeeded in a hundred years. However, the impression of the Liao army's strength has been engraved in the hearts of the people of the Song Kingdom, and many generals of the Liangshan army also have a lot of worries about whether they can defeat the Liao army.

However, today's head-on battle has dispelled their fears and strengthened their confidence in victory.

At this time, under the leadership of Lu Zhishen, the heavy armored soldiers raised their swords in their hands and shouted:

"Our Liangshan army is invincible! The Yangsan army is invincible! ”

Encouraged by their momentum, the swordsmen behind them also began to cheer all over the world.

Although this battle was not their turn, the victory was already established, and they had no room to play at all, but they still felt extremely happy.

Looking at the excited expressions of his subordinates, Shi Jin understood that for example, the victory brought by the civil war was easier for people to get excited and proud!

Shi Jin shouted: "The cavalry battalion continues to pursue, the archers are on alert, and the heavy armor soldiers can take off their armor and rest." Swordsmen are in charge of cleaning up the battlefield! Take all your weapons with you. The corpses of the enemy soldiers were dug and buried on the spot. The lightly wounded were brought back for treatment, and the seriously wounded enemy soldiers were ...... Give them a ride and ease their pain! ”

After hearing the order, the Liangshan army immediately obeyed the order.

This one started at noon, and until dusk, Shi Wengong and others who were pursuing also returned, drawing a mark for this perfect battle spirit.

When Shi Jin collected his troops and set up his army, all the generals offered their military exploits.

The tribal allies were less than fifty paces in front of the Liangshan army, and there were more than 1,000 naval archers, but many of them did not have time to shoot, and the enemy was killed and fled.

What's more, many of the enemy troops were still holding shields, and the navy only killed a dozen or twenty people.

The Liangshan heavy armor soldiers are fierce, but the speed of progress is the biggest shortcoming after all.

The tribal allies were defeated and fled, and the two-legged ones couldn't catch up, let alone those in heavy armor.

They killed sixty or seventy people at the beginning, and when they heard the data report after the war, Lu Zhishen was very unhappy, feeling that this Liao soldier was too useless, not addictive enough at all, and it was not as good as the Western Army!

In this battle, the most lethal of the Liangshan Army was the artillery battalion, which brought nearly 200 casualties to the tribal allies. And the most important thing is that as soon as the battle begins, it severely damages the morale of the enemy army, so that the enemy basically loses the will to fight and becomes fearful.

It can be said that this battle completely made the Liangshan army see the power of artillery, and also understood why the marshal attached so much importance to artillery, and invested a lot of gold and silver for Gongsun Sheng, Tang Long, and Ling Zhen to study for many years. Now many generals are red at those cannons, and want to take those powerful artillery into their own corps.

However, to their disappointment, this artillery battalion directly obeyed the orders of Marshal Shi Jin from the beginning. Let them be lost for a while.

In addition to the artillery battalion, the cavalry battalion made the second great feat, although there were only 500 people, but they killed more than 100 people and captured more than 70 prisoners. And more than 140 war horses were captured.

Purely on merit, no worse than an artillery battalion.

According to the statistics of the lieutenants, the tribal allies lost nearly 410 people and captured 103 prisoners. Less than 15 soldiers were killed in this battle, most of whom were killed by cavalry ramming.

After listening to the battle report, Shi Jin greeted the generals who were still excited and sat down.

Shi Jin inspected the generals present and said: "I am very happy to win today, these are the merits of many generals here. However, we must not be complacent because of this, we should also keep a clear head and know ourselves. Now everyone has seen the power of artillery, and the king of future wars belongs to artillery. But today's battle, to be honest, we have not yet fully exploited the true power of artillery. Let's talk about it, with artillery, how to reset the tactics of our army in order to give full play to the true power of this artillery! ”

Ling Zhen, the chief gunner in charge of the artillery battalion, said first: "Marshal, for the sake of safety, we only opened fire when the enemy was 500 steps away, about a mile away, but after today's actual battle, we can clearly see that in fact, this bronze artillery can completely kill the enemy at a distance of 500 to 900 steps from the enemy. I think the next battle can be a little bolder! ”

Shi Jin said approvingly: "What General Ling said is very reasonable, we were too cautious before. The power of this bronze cannon exceeded our expectations! ”

Zhu Wu also said: "I think that with this artillery, there is now a lack of a weapon between artillery and swordsmen that can strike at a distance between 100 and 200 meters. In this way, you can continue to inflict damage on the enemy and make the enemy breathless. Although the bow and arrow are good, the range is still too short, that is, sixty or seventy steps. When facing the enemy, especially the cavalry, it is necessary to shoot continuously and quickly in order to deal with it effectively. The amount of loss in such a rapid shot is too great, and if the financial resources are not enough, it will not be able to support it at all. Ershi's good bow can barely take more than a hundred steps, but this kind of strong bow is not easy to make, and not every soldier can pull it. I recommend more crossbows in the army! ”

Wang Yin frowned and said, "But the crossbow is very slow to fire, not to mention the strength of the Eight Bull Crossbow, even if it is a foot crossbow, it is very difficult to fire!" It's hard to keep striking hard! ”

Zhu Wu nodded and said, "It's true, but the crossbow is the best offensive weapon I know with a range of more than a hundred paces." Others are even worse! ”

Shi Jin pondered for a moment when he heard this, and couldn't help but whisper: "If only there was a machine gun!" However, this cannon is so difficult to cast, and this machine gun is even more difficult. Not to mention that there are no muskets yet, it seems that it is time to find someone to develop a musket first! ”
