Chapter 16 Firearms Sharp Feathers Return Mandarin Duck Infantry Array Shows Might
Seeing the red flag, the rockets arranged on the decks of the ships of the naval division were fired first, and dozens of high-explosive rockets dragged a long tail flame, with a sharp whistling sound and went straight to the Tiefutu charging front of the Jin Army. The warhead of the high-explosive rocket is equipped with a hollow iron conical container, which contains the most rational formula of explosive black powder, and the outer layer is countless iron nails. The warhead fuse is specially arranged based on years of experience, which can absolutely ensure that the warhead explodes at a position where the fire is one person high in the air after landing.
The high-explosive rocket soon exploded in the Jin Army's Tiefutu Charge Front, and the sky-high flames were mixed with countless deadly iron nails whistling and splashing, and the two layers of iron armor of the Jin Army could not resist the huge kinetic energy and shock waves generated under the violent chemical action. The Jin army Tiefutu suddenly suffered heavy casualties, the war horse screamed to the end, the wounded Jin army fell to the ground and screamed, and was soon trampled to death by the Jin cavalry behind.
Seeing this, Yinshu was taken aback, he didn't expect that the Song army still had this sharp firearm, and the brave Dajin Guo Tiefutu warriors had suffered heavy casualties before they saw the enemy, could this battle still be fought? Immediately, Yinshu could order the charging army and horses to retreat, and the Jin army in front heard that they had withdrawn their troops, and they also hurriedly retreated, they didn't want to die in such a worthless battle.
After the Tiefutu retreated in front, the losses were counted, and the precious Tiefutu military horses of the Jin army lost more than 200 horsemen, and in total, Wanyan Zonghan only left 3,000 Tiefutu for Yinshuke. Yinshu, who felt the pain in his flesh, stared at the Song army camp in the distance, and after thinking for a moment, he ordered the Liao army within the Jin army to send infantry troops to charge the battle, his idea was very simple, that is, to send these infantry troops forward to consume the Song army's ammunition.
After those Liao troops got the order, they were all scattered, and they all knew that the Jin people were using them as cannon fodder, but there was no way, under the pressure of the Jin army, they had to hold the shield and move forward slowly, only hoping that the Song army's ammunition had run out.
On the other side, seeing that the Jin army was temporarily retreating, and soon sent the infantry army out of battle, Liu Tang and Li Kui discussed: "The Guanjin people sent the infantry army, they must want to consume our army's rockets and artillery, and see that his front line came with 3,000 infantry troops, although the number is more than ours, but this camp is only on fire, and it is difficult to expand the formation in many places. ”
When Li Kui heard the fight, he immediately took out his double axe and said with a smile: "Brother, this time I will lead 500 troops to fight immediately, and my brother will lead 500 soldiers and civilians to continue to repair the camp and fortifications, so you don't have to go both." Liu Tang said with a smile: "Brother Tie Niu's idea is good, let's fight in the front team, and the back team will continue to build fortifications." ”
After the discussion was made at the moment, Li Kui put on a bunch of armor and ordered five hundred military horses, that is, the soldiers of the five guards, to come out of the formation, and then discharged a mandarin duck formation composed of five guards in front of the formation.
After the Jin Guobu army arrived in the camp, it was only extinguished because of the fire in the camp, and there were still many ruins blocking the road between the ruins and broken walls.
On the other side, Liu Tang sent a herald to bring the news of Li Kui's departure to the navy, Zhang Shun smiled and said: "Against the infantry army, our Liangshan army and horses are not afraid of one as ten, so it is okay, it will take a night for the next batch of warships to arrive, and we don't have many rockets and cannons, just save to deal with the cavalry of the Jin army." ”
While speaking, the Jin State infantry army got closer, but now the enemy did not shoot the terrible rocket, but a group of Song infantry troops came in front of them, all of which had been set up, and the Liao general who led the army was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately shouted: "Sons, the Song people have lost the sharp firearms, let's rush forward!" ”
Seeing this, the morale of the Jin Guobu army was also greatly boosted, and there was finally no such terrible firearm, as for the infantry army, I didn't feel how scared I was, they were all one shoulder and one head, and they couldn't do it desperately? At that moment, the Jin Guobu army raised their swords one after another, and they clashed forward with a ho-ho monster in their mouths.
The Liao archers in the rear of the Jin Guobu army released the arrows first, and a rain of arrows directly attacked the Song army, and the barbarian players who raised the shields in the front row of the Song army immediately put the shield on their heads, and the Song troops of the back squad immediately concentrated under the shields, and the grenadiers also raised their anti-arrow jackets to supplement. After a rain of arrows, only a dozen sergeants were wounded by arrows, mostly because they were unprepared or because there was a gap between the shield and the jacket, which was penetrated by sharp arrows.
After guarding against the Jin army for several rounds of arrow rain, the infantry in front of the Jin army had already approached with a shield in front of the Jin army, and the Jin army archers stopped firing, and there was a sound of sticks, and the Jin army infantry screamed and rushed straight to the Song army.
Li Kui dodged and withdrew from the shield array protection, raised his double axes and shouted: "Formation!" Meet the enemy! The Liangshan Song army soon regrouped under the orders of the various officials. When the forward of the Jin army charged with a shield and was more than fifty steps away from the Song army's front, a burst of shouting orders came out in the Song army's formation, and the grenadiers in the formation came behind the barbarian soldiers with grenades, and ripped off the lead wrapped in paraffin wax on the palm of the thunder in their hands, which was mixed with fire phosphorus. When the paraffin wax is pulled out, it is pulled out with the inner wire, and after the friction is heated, the fire phosphorus will spontaneously combust, so that the lead mixed with gunpowder is ignited.
After igniting the palm thunder, the Song army grenadiers threw off their arms one after another and threw the palm thunder towards the forward shield of the Jin Guobu army. After more than 90 palm thunders drew a parabola and fell, the Jin Guobu soldiers were still very strange, what was the Song army throwing?
Soon the continuous explosions exploded in front of the Jin army's array, and the forward's shield array was blown to pieces, although the power of the exploded palm thunder was not as powerful as the rocket, but the Jin army was too dense, so the casualties were extremely heavy.
Seeing this, the shield soldiers in front wanted to retreat as soon as they shouted, but the Liao army leading the army was still a little bold, and immediately shouted: "Don't retreat, charge over immediately, as long as they are entangled with the enemy, their firearms will not dare to be used again!" Don't retreat, those who retreat die! ”
Under the coercion of the Jin army in the back, the Jin Guobu army mustered up the courage and threw away the shield one after another, anyway, this thing can't stop the grenade of others, so it is better to lose it, and rush up to fight the enemy. So the Jin Guobu army rushed back, shouting with a heart-splitting voice, and rushed straight to the Song army front.
After the Jin army gave up the charge of the oars and shields, the grenadiers in the Song army retreated, and the divine arm archers stepped forward, and when they reached the back of the barbarian soldiers, they raised their divine arm bows and shot at the infantry charging the Jin country.
The Divine Arm Bow is extremely powerful, and the Jin army is dense, and many times even a crossbow arrow will penetrate two people, nailing both of them to the ground. But this divine arm bow is still a normal category of cold weapons, these Liao army and the Song army have fought a lot, and they also know that this god arm bow is not worried, and they also know the time it takes for the god arm bow to shoot and cross arrows, and they don't wait for the general to give an order, and a group of Jin Guo infantry soldiers shouted, speeding up their pace and charging, they know that only by rushing over, can they have a chance to live, stop in place or turn around and run away, there is no way to live, the range of the god arm bow is two hundred and forty steps.
When the Jin Guobu army charged in front of them, the Song army was covered by barbarian soldiers in front, and suddenly stretched out a hook sickle from between the barbarian soldiers' shields, this hook sickle has been improved by Liangshan, the tip of the gun in front, the left and right sides are each three feet long wing blades, the wing blade is arc-shaped, after the change, it becomes a concave crescent shape, this hook sickle is stretched out, it can withstand the enemy in front of it, so that it can not enter, and the tip of the spear and the wing blade are very sharp, but also can hurt people.
After a hook and sickle array in front of the Song army was poked out, the momentum of the Jin State infantry army charge suddenly stagnated, and many infantry troops who could not restrain their footsteps were injured by the wing blades and the tips of the spears.
Here the Jin infantry army attacked, and the Shen Arm archers and grenadiers in the Song army began to might, and the grenadiers threw grenades at the back of the enemy formation to block the follow-up soldiers and horses of the enemy's attack, while the Shen Arm archers mercilessly shot the Jin Guo Infantry Army that was close at hand. It was so close that the Divine Arm went down with a crossbow and arrow, and even shot through three people.
That's the case, in front of this mandarin duck formation, there are barbarian players holding long shields to block the heavy arrows and spears of the Jin army, and there are also chief and deputy Lang officials holding light rattan shields and carrying javelins and waist knives to cover the rear team to advance, and the main and deputy Lang officers can also fight with the enemy in close combat in addition to covering. The two Hook Scythe Lancers stabbed with a hook and sickle that was about a foot long, blocking the enemy's daughter at the same time, covering the advance of the shield hand and the attack of the grenadiers and Divine Arm archers behind them.
After blocking the Jin Army's offensive, the entire Mandarin Duck small formation began to move forward steadily under the command of Officer Lang, and the ten people in the entire formation were like one person, advancing and retreating together, and the other squads beside them also formed a whole, moving together. So the entire Song army front began to slowly step forward, the hook and sickle gunners continued to stab forward, the rear god arm bow, grenadiers continued to shoot, the front barbarian soldiers raised shields to cover, the main and deputy officers on both sides held rattan shields to check and fill in the gaps, and constantly killed the fish that slipped through the net, the entire Song army mandarin duck array from far, middle and near, to alternate cover, defense dead ends are all like one person, like a hedgehog full of thorns, the Jin army has no way to attack, and when it keeps retreating, the Song army steadily comes forward again, and the Jin army can not advance or retreat.
After fighting like this for half an hour, the left and right wings of the Jin army collapsed first, Li Kui was on the left flank, seeing the collapse of the Jin Guobu army, Li Kui first carried a double axe and shouted to chase and kill, and the back of the main and deputy Lang officials, and the barbarian players all raised short weapons to chase and kill, and the grenadiers also stopped throwing grenades, and drew out their waist knives to chase and kill together, leaving only the pikemen and the god arm archers to press the formation, just because these two arms are inconvenient to chase and kill with long weapons, and the other is inconvenient to chase and kill with a god arm bow, so they press the formation in the back, only let the main and deputy Lang officials, barbarian players, The grenadiers came forward to chase and kill.
The left and right flanks collapsed, and the Chinese army did not support it for long, the Jin Guobu army was defeated and lost, and fled out of the camp, and the 3,000 Jin Guobu army was defeated by the 500 Liangshan Song army, and the Jin army lost more than 800 people, while the Song army only had dozens of wounded. This is not far from the battle loss ratio of Qi Jiguang's victory in killing the Japanese invaders. 8
