Chapter 991: Ferocious Artillery
When the detective heard the news of Yelu Hongji's big attack, Wang Ningan smiled and smiled brightly.
It's like a fisherman who nets the richest fish and is happy from the bottom of his heart...... What Yanmen Pass, what Fuzhou, these are all fake, he just wants to make Yelu Hongji misjudge, thinking that he has a chance to defeat the Great Song Dynasty.
Wang Ningan knows Yelu Hongji very well, as a person who was once at the top of the world, he has a strong resentment, which has been suppressed for more than ten years, presumably he can't sleep peacefully every night and is tortured.
I heard that Yelu Hongji had gray hair early, it should be due to the monstrous hatred!
Therefore, as long as he is given a chance and let him see hope, Yelu Hongji will not let go, he will definitely fight hard, and Wang Ningan waited for him to throw himself into the net and send it to the door.
"Yelu Hongji is here, he is dead!"
Zhao Shu's young face was surging with a strong flush, he clenched his fists tightly, and secretly prayed in his heart, Father Emperor, and the ancestors of all dynasties, even including the Taizu Guo Wei of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and Sejong Chai Rong...... Zhao Shu raised his face and said affectionately: "For more than a hundred years, how many heroes in my Huaxia have dreamed of recovering Yanyun, but the result is that they continue to sink into the sand and fail miserably...... Only the master worked hard for ten years to get back Youzhou for the Great Song Dynasty, and this time I want to completely defeat Yelu Hongji and level the Khitan! The heroic spirits of heaven, the sages of China, and the thousands of Li people! ”
"Well, we will definitely fulfill the unfulfilled wish of our ancestors!" Wang Ningan was equally excited.
Zhao Shu couldn't help but wave his arms, "Look at it!" ”
On the school grounds, flags fluttered and shouts shook the sky.
"Da Song will win!"
"Da Song will win!"
"Da Song will win!"
……
25,000 soldiers of the forbidden army, set off in full gear and nearly 500 artillery pieces, which was the confidence of the Song army.
Wang Ning'an chose the battlefield on a wide front with Fengshengzhou as the center, about 30 miles, with Duanyunling in the northwest and Jiming Mountain in the southeast.
The Song army was to the east of the river, building fortifications, settling the artillery, and making all preparations.
Scouts are constantly shuttling and busy.
"Your Majesty, the Khitan army is only 30 miles!"
"Yes, keep listening!" Zhao Shu clenched his fists.
"Your Majesty, there are only 20 miles, and there are no less than 150,000 enemy soldiers!"
“…… The enemy is only 5 miles away......"
…… The scout sent the latest news, and through the telescope, Zhao Shu could see it clearly.
On the opposite side, the black pressure is boundless, and it is conservatively estimated that there are nearly 200,000 people, compared to the Song army, which is much thinner, less than one-tenth of the other party!
But Zhao Shu is full of confidence, he believes that the strong soldiers created by the teacher will never let him down!
"Master, victory will be ours!"
Wang Ningan just smiled faintly, and Zhao Shu relaxed all of a sudden.
After all, it was a big scene of hundreds of thousands of people, and it was the first time Zhao Shu had encountered it, his palms were full of sweat, and fortunately the master was here, otherwise he might really be flustered!
Zhao Shu suddenly remembered a sentence: There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure!
Is Master old?
At the juncture of the war, Zhao Shu actually had such a thought, it was so funny, he shook his head hard, but he couldn't get rid of it.
"Your Majesty, Khitan light cavalry attack!"
Zhao Shu hit a spirit, and immediately said: "Rocket preparation, give them a little power!" ”
"Yes!"
There was no wind today, and the rocket jumped straight into the sky, crossed a perfect parabola, and landed among the Khitans...... The flames were blazing, the smoke was billowing out, some people wailed and fell off their horses, some people continued to move forward, and when they approached the Song army, the gunshots finally rang out, and soon, except for a few light horsemen who fled, the rest were all corpses.
More than 500 people lost their lives in just one test!
Yeluhongji didn't seem to see it...... He waved his hand again, this time it was a team of 20,000 people, overwhelming, coming towards the Song army, and the emperor couldn't help but squint his eyes.
How he longed for victory!
Damn Wang Ning'an, damn the Great Song Dynasty!
I am the ruler of this world, not you! After so many years, you have finally made mistakes, arrogant, arrogant, and dare to underestimate the Khitan, I will let you know how powerful the Khitan warriors are!
"Kill Wang Ning'an and seal the king!"
"Capture Wang Ning'an alive and seal the double king!"
Yeluhonki gritted his teeth and tried to stir up the courage of the soldiers with the richest reward...... They were getting closer and closer to the Song army, and the striker had already stepped on the ice of the Yanghe River.
The artillery commander standing on the mound finally waved the small flag in his hand!
"Fire!"
Rumble!
Hundreds of flowering shells erupted from the barrel, and since they were not storming, they were more effective...... The gunpowder exploded, and shrapnel flew like sharp knives, cutting the bodies of the Khitan knights and destroying their horses.
Even if it's covered in heavy armor, it's just a tin can!
Every time a shell explodes, it creates a no-man's land, but then more Khitans fill in and continue to attack, as if endlessly.
Finally, they approached the military formation of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Grenadier ready!"
Another round of grenade attacks drowned the Khitan soldiers in the smoke of gunpowder.
Those who can rush to the front of the battle are actually only 30% out of ten, and they are greeted by sturdy horses and red-hot lead pellets. The harvest is like a harvest, and the flocks of people fall.
The air was filled with gunsmoke and blood, almost suffocating.
This battle, from the very beginning, was extremely ferocious.
The Khitan suffered heavy casualties, but Yelu Hongji didn't seem to see it, he just kept urging the attack...... There was an elderly minister who couldn't help it.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute, let the warriors rest......"
Before he could finish his words, Yelu Hongji drew his saber and slashed it off, cutting off the white head! Then, in a cold voice, he said, "Dare to question my orders, die!" ”
Die!
Without the slightest hesitation, the emperor simply went insane.
No one dared to touch the mold, so they could only mechanically drive the crowd and keep rushing up...... The big guy once felt that more than 200,000 horses would all be sacrificed, and he would not be able to break the position of the Great Song Dynasty.
And at this moment, suddenly the sound of artillery weakened.
Yeluhongji's eyes lit up, and the fighter plane finally came!
He had captured muskets and several artillery pieces.
Yelu Hongji tried to copy the firearms of the Great Song Dynasty, but due to the level of Khitan craftsmen, it was impossible to equip them on a large scale, but Yelu Hongji also figured out that firearms are not perfect, such as artillery, and it is necessary to dissipate heat after a period of time, otherwise the gunpowder contained in it will explode and blow the cannon chamber to pieces!
And the heat dissipation time of the gun will take at least half an hour!
"Rush!"
Accompanied by Yelu Hongji's scimitar, the elite Tielin Army and the Leather Room Army rushed out, screaming and screaming, and pounced on the Great Song ...... The soldiers and horses he sent just now were all soldiers and horses from Yunzhou, and in the eyes of the emperor, those people were cannon fodder that could be sacrificed!
The real assault has just begun!
The Tielin Army swept in, and the Song army's artillery was dumbfounded, but rockets, fire oil, and even bed crossbows, as well as fire guns, were intertwined into a dense fire net, killing mercilessly...... Anyone who comes close will pay a heavy price.
However, it has to be admitted that the Khitans approached the position of the Song army little by little.
Finally, one of the guys jumped over the antlers, and four or five of the Song soldiers were knocked over on their backs, and the guy immediately raised his scimitar to slash, but fortunately, the soldier who had just reloaded the ammunition fired.
A lead pellet pierced his chest, a fist-sized wound, blood and internal organs flowed out, he opened his mouth wide and fell weakly, unwilling to die!
There was the first, there was the second, and gradually the casualties of the Song army began to increase.
It turns out that they are not gods, they will be injured and they will die the same!
The Khitans were like sharks smelling blood, and continued to attack non-stop.
At this moment, the cooling of the artillery ended, and 20 guns could not wait to speak.
These cannons spit out chain and grapegre shells...... Everywhere he went, heads and limbs flew all over the sky, and blood seemed to rain, staining the snow-white ground red.
More and more cannons roared, and the shells created an iron wall on the river, cutting off the reinforcements behind, while the people in front fell into the ravages of various firearms, and quickly decreased, so the Khitan offensive was pushed back.
"Kill!"
"Da Song will win!"
……
With the roar, the Song army marched neatly, holding the fire gun, and fought out from the front.
They lined up in three columns, coordinated with each other, and fired alternately...... No matter how many enemies there are, they are all methodical and steadily advancing...... The Song army crossed the Yanghe River, and the Khitans fled frantically, and the routs were like a tide, constantly attacking their positions.
Yelu Hongji narrowed his eyes, today's battle made him see clearly the combat power of the Song army, very strong and sharp!
But he is still full of self-confidence, relying on firearms, must rely on logistics, I have sent the most elite forces to cut off the grain routes of the Great Song Dynasty, attack the military supply line.
I hope you can be so sharp tomorrow!
Yelu Hongji secretly thought, he waved his hand violently, and a team of iron cavalry stood out, and the rout was scattered, and then this cavalry rushed towards the Song army.
In the face of cavalry, no one dared to be careless.
Song Jun immediately retracted the formation and used dense lead pellets to deal with these guys. In an instant, hundreds of people were killed, and the Khitan cavalry also struggled to throw bows and arrows, and the Great Song also lost more than a dozen men...... The battle went on until dusk, when both sides retreated.
In a whole day, the Great Song lost nearly 300 people, while the Khitan paid the price of 7,000 people!
It seemed that Da Song had won the upper hand, but Zhao Shu was not happy.
"Master, thirty percent of the gunpowder was consumed today, and if we continue to fight, our firearms may be useless."
Wang Ningan was not in a hurry, "Please rest easy, Your Majesty, our logistics are very strong, enough to rest assured!" ”
Seeing that the master was so confident, Zhao Shu became interested, "Really? Even if the Khitan sends people to sneak attack, can they sit back and relax? ”
"Sneak attack?" Wang Ningan smiled: "If they are impatient, you can give it a try!" ”
In a word, Zhao Shu was looking forward to it, and he really wanted to see what was so great about the logistics team......
