Chapter 105: Ruyi Car
Since the Jin soldiers used the Mangu tactics, Yue Fei immediately flew to Yingtianfu and asked Xu Qing to gather a group of masters in the ordnance workshop to quickly develop a small riding crossbow that could suppress the bows and arrows of the Jin people.
The crossbow riding was not studied, but Ran Taigong, who served as the carpentry ambassador of the armory, used a ruyi car to deal with the golden dog rushing into battle.
The Ruyi cart was a huge cart that could hold 30 soldiers on each cart, but only 2 soldiers needed to propel it. The left and right sides of the chariot can be hung with animal face wooden plaques, and a felt curtain can be used to resist the enemy's bow and arrow. There are dozens of gun holes on the wooden plaque. Thirty soldiers were pikemen, and when the enemy rushed to the front of the car, they could use their spears to repel the enemy. It can be said that a wishful car is a small mobile castle. There are also hooks on both sides of the chariot, which can be divided and combined. When marching, the carts are separated, loaded with baggage, and when encountering the enemy, the chariots are combined into a circle, that is, the camp.
Since Ran Taigong dedicated the drawings of the Ruyi car to the Protector Army, the armory workshop has not stopped producing this extremely flexible car. Because Xu Qing found that even if it was not used in battle, this kind of Ruyi car, which was convenient for advance and retreat, should also be vigorously promoted to private merchants. In a few months, at least 2,000 Ruyi cars were built in the armory workshop and sold to more than 1,000 dealers. There are also more than 1,000 vehicles specially prepared for battle, which have been stored in the armory.
After discussing with Yue Fei, Xu Qing decided to personally go out and escort 200 Ruyi cars to Yucheng County, along the way, without hiding their tracks, just to lure Jin soldiers to attack and seize them. Jia Gutu didn't know that of the 200 carts covered with a felt curtain, only 50 were equipped with crossbows, the other 150 were 30 crossbow carts, with bed crossbows on top of them, which could shoot 1,500 paces away, and the other 120 vehicles were equipped with 3,600 elite infantry.
However, under Ran Qing's hard work, he still snatched the task of escorting the chariot. Ran Qing's reason was that as the ambassador of the Ordnance Workshop and the important general who stayed in Yingtianfu, Xu Qing should not leave Yingtian lightly. And she Ran Qing has been doing nothing for the past few months, which is really insulting the name of the staff officer of the back army.
Xu Qing knew Ran Qing's thoughts about Yue Fei. Although the mother-in-law has been matching the marriage of Ran Qing and Zhang Xian during this time. But this kind of thing is really reluctant. Ran Qing's heart was always firmly tied to Yue Fei. The mother-in-law could only sigh later, and she went.
In the days when Yue Fei was in a coma, although Ran Qing had only been there three times, her days at home were like tears. Mrs. Ran knew her granddaughter's thoughts, but she was helpless. can only comfort Ran Qing, saying that Yue Fei has the character of the Son of Heaven and is the king's order, and when the Protector Army wins the world in the future, Yue Fei will naturally have three palaces and six courtyards, and at that time, are you still afraid that Yue Fei will not want Ran Qing?
Ran Taigong's words really moved Ran Qing. Ran Qing was quick-witted and immediately thought about how to return to the front line. This time, sending Ruyi to the front line can be regarded as giving Ran Qing the best opportunity.
Mrs. Ran was worried about the safety of her granddaughter, and despite her old age, she also sat in the car and came to Yucheng.
The bloodline of Ran Min, the king of martial mourning, is really not ordinary. Seeing thousands of golden soldiers screaming and rushing towards the car formation, not only Ran Qing was not afraid, but even Ran Taigong was also high-spirited.
Seeing the Jin soldiers rushing to a distance of five hundred steps, Ran Taigong immediately waved his gesture, and a protector army beside him immediately blew the horn. Thirty ballistae suddenly lifted the felt cloth in unison, and sixty bed crossbows revealed their true faces.
The crossbowmen on the car hurriedly put a large crossbow arrow long on the crossbow machine, and the soldier in charge of issuing the crossbow held a sledgehammer in his hand and smashed the hammer on the crossbow of the bed.
"Woooo
The sound of the bed crossbow breaking through the air was extremely sharp, like the tip of a needle, piercing everyone's ears. The sound of breaking the sky was still echoing, and the charging cavalry had already let out a series of screams.
Within 500 paces, the bed crossbow can count the number of horses in a row, and the castration is still unabated. Whether it is a good vest or a fine iron armor, in front of the bed crossbow, it is as fragile as a piece of straw paper.
"Shhh
A bed crossbow passed through the chest of a golden soldier centurion, and shot through the stomach of another golden soldier behind Zhang Yu, and the third golden soldier reacted very quickly, and as soon as he pulled the war horse, the war horse man stood up, trying to block the advance of the bed crossbow, but the bed crossbow easily pierced the horse's neck, and then nailed the golden soldier hidden behind the horse.
A cold sweat broke out on his head. Just now, a bed crossbow passed through his waist, shooting the three guards behind him into meat skewers.
"Boys, avoid the direction of the thirty ballistas and continue to rush. Rush over as fast as you can and kill all these despicable Song pigs. ”
Jiagutu, who was lucky enough to avoid the catastrophe, waved the saber in his hand and shouted loudly. Abuhan and Zhuo Luhua were also lucky enough to avoid the bed crossbow, and now they are also madly ordering their men to charge.
These golden generals all know the power of the bed crossbow, but they also know the limitations of the bed crossbow. They knew that those bed crossbows must have been fixed to the carts. If it is not fixed to the cart, the firing force of the bed crossbow will cause the cart to tip over. In this case, those carts are fixed in the array, and as long as they avoid the direction of the bed crossbow, all the bed crossbows will be fired in vain.
Seeing that the Jin soldiers suddenly lined up in hundreds of squads in the middle of the charge, avoiding the thirty ballistas, Ran Taigong stroked his white beard with his hand and laughed, "Does the golden dog think that Lao Tzu's wishful car will not turn?" ”
As soon as the horn sounded, the protectors under the ballista quickly turned the cart around, although the angle of rotation was not large, it was enough to make the Jin soldiers on the opposite side tremble.
The sledgehammer struck down, and another sixty crossbows flew out of the air, once again turning the hapless golden soldier into a human skewer. This time Zhuo Luhua was no longer lucky, a crossbow shot through the three golden soldiers in front of him, and it had become the end of the strong crossbow, so he only pierced the crossbow arrow into his stomach for seven inches, and it was not able to penetrate his body.
"Ahh Zhuo Luhua didn't expect that he, as a golden soldier Qianhu, would die under the crossbow arrows of a group of militiamen. He yelled unwillingly, and then fell off the war horse with the three fellow refugees in front of him.
Although Jia Gutu didn't expect the Ruyi car to be able to turn a little in place, he was no longer afraid at this time. The captain of the personal soldier who had followed him for more than ten years also became a dead man under the fire of the third wave of bed crossbows. The blood with the heat of the human body splashed on Jia Gutu's face, and then quickly became cold under the cold wind.
"Rush over. Rush over to Lao Tzu. Jia Gu Tu shouted as he stared at the white-haired old man standing in the cart with crimson eyes, a beautiful girl. Jia Gutu didn't understand why the battle in the past few years was smooth, under the iron hooves of the Jin soldiers, the Song army fled, and the people were waiting to be slaughtered, like a group of docile lambs. But since the fight with the Protector Army, the Song heroes have emerged in endlessly. Meng An of Texas, Xin Zan of Shanzhou, and now there is an old thing who doesn't know what to call in front of Jin Bing. Could it be that the destiny of heaven is no longer towards me?
Although the bed crossbow is powerful, after all, there are only thirty ballista carts, and it cannot block the offensive route of thousands of gold soldiers. The crossbowmen had just fired five crossbows, and the golden iron cavalry had already rushed within two hundred paces and began to counterattack with their riding bows.
Because they were so afraid of the ballista, almost all the golden soldiers aimed their bows and arrows at the ballista and fired. The crossbowmen also suffered heavy casualties in the blink of an eye. However, the surviving crossbowmen still fired two more crossbows each, and only then did they re-cover the thick felt cloth and hide in the car.
More than 400 divine arm crossbows caused losses to at least 300 cavalry to the Jin soldiers. What's more, those who died under the god's arm crossbow were mostly the bravest warriors in the golden soldiers. It can be said that thirty ballistas have lost the sharpness of the golden soldiers.
Jin Bing finally arrived in front of the car formation, and the Ruyi car with a felt cloth as high as eight feet was obviously not something that a war horse could jump over. The red-eyed Jin soldier regained his fearless courage between the white mountains and the black waters. Hundreds of cavalry soldiers widened their eyes and smashed their horses directly into the cart. Some agile ones will also jump up and jump on the roof of the cart when the war horse is not more than a mile away from the cart.
But the guards hiding in the car would not let the war horse lightly crash into the cart, and with a sound of a horn, ten spears pierced out of the gun hole like lightning, and just poked at the body of the war horse running at high speed.
With the sound of fluttering, one by one the war horses were pierced through by the big guns and fell in front of the Ruyi car. In the Ruyi car, there were also screams of people. The impact of the horses also caused some of the infantrymen holding spears to break their arms and even die of them.
As for those golden warriors who jumped on the roof of the car, they often didn't have time to jump into the car formation, and they would feel a chill in their crotch, and a spear pierced through his life, directly into his stomach.
At this time, the elite of the golden soldiers showed their fierce nature of sweeping through the Liao land. Seeing the flesh and blood of the compatriots who had been drinking and having fun in the past falling in front of him, the follow-up Jin soldiers still did not hesitate at all, while desperately pulling their cavalry bows and shooting at the infantry of the Protector Army behind the car formation. While rushing at the melee chariot, he rammed into the chariot with men.
Soon a war horse successfully collided with the Ruyi car, only to hear a bang, the Ruyi car weighing thousands of catties was upside down, almost overturned, but was stabilized by the hooks on both sides. However, the elite guards in the car were also stunned, and they opened the inward baffle one after another, carried their spears, and jumped out of the chariot.
More than a dozen war horses crashed into the Ruyi car one after another, and some smashed the beast plates of the Ruyi car, but still failed to knock the big car away. Two hundred chariots were hung together by iron hooks, and no matter how strong the momentum of the horses was, they could not knock them over.
But it's not without effect. Soon, as the Ruyi car kept tossing and turning, the protectors in the car began to be unbearable and jumped out of the chariot one after another. Some took advantage of the cover of the Ruyi car and began to form a strict gun throwing array. Some took off their infantry crossbows from their cars and began to shoot at the golden horsemen who were close in front of them with their crossbows. In the same way, they also need to bear the great arrows of gold.
Both sides showed extraordinary courage, refusing to take a step back despite the falling arrows on their heads.
At this time, Jia Gutu also understood that the protectors in the car were all elite, but he didn't want to retreat. He believes that no matter how elite the Protector Army is, as long as the Jin soldiers can break through the car formation, they will definitely be able to kill this Protector Army. His horse stopped fifty paces outside the chariot, raised his saber to the sky, and neighed out, "Sons, charge at a chariot." Smash these chariots to pieces. Sons, shoot the Song pig behind the car. ”
Mrs. Ran's voice was already hoarse. At this time, Ran Qing gave orders. She stood behind the shield wall erected by the two Protectors, and while watching the Jin soldiers charge and kill, she screamed, "First wave of shooters, throw!" The second wave of gunshooters, throw! Crossbowmen, shoot! ”
Human life became as cheap as withered grass, just inside and outside the Ruyi car formation, but in half an hour, there were more than 2,000 warriors from the two countries who fell. The elite and militia of the Protector Army were shot dead by the Jin soldiers, but the Jin soldiers, who did not have any cover to storm the car formation, obviously suffered greater losses, and they lost at least 1,300 horses.
A smile finally appeared on Jiagutu's twisted face. The sacrifices of the warriors were not meaningless. The circular Ruyi chariot formation was finally rushed open by the golden horses who went forward one after another. Next, it was the turn of the Jurchen warriors to raise their sabers and slash the cowards who were hiding behind the chariots.
At this time, the Protectors were also bloody. There is simply no longer a distinction between elite and militia. Facing the golden soldiers and iron cavalry who were holding their horses high and laughing wildly and slaughtered through the gap in the car formation, whether it was the elite of the Protector Army or the militia with slightly inferior combat strength, they all pounced on the Jin soldiers with spears and red eyes. One was cut down by the golden soldiers, and the second rushed up. The second was trampled down by the horse's hoof, and the third rushed up. Finally, he stabbed the Jin soldiers to death with horses, and pushed them on the gap in the chariot formation, and used the corpses of the Jin soldiers to block the Jin soldiers' charge.
Abuhan raised his bright saber and rushed into the chariot formation of the Protector Army. Rushing over with him were three of his own soldiers. Four fast horses entered side by side through a slightly larger gap, unstoppable.
A Protector armed with a spear stabbed lightning into the chest of a pro-soldier. But before he could draw his gun and stab again, Abuhan had already ridden his horse over, and the saber was withdrawn from the parchment and the puff was spurious
Seeing the ferocity of Abuhan, the four Protector infantry lined up and stabbed at Abuhan with four spears. But Abuhan and the two personal soldiers were divided left and right, and the war horse jumped to the two flanks of the four protectors, and the three sabers were waved again and again, and the four protector infantry were cut to the ground again.
Seeing that Abuhan was galloping across the gap, blocking the protectors who were going to block the gap, and soon there were more and more golden soldiers in this gap, and there were more than 20 horsemen. Jia Gu Tu could see clearly outside the formation, and shouted excitedly, "Abuhan, good job!" It's time to charge. ”
Although there are not many more than 20 cavalry soldiers, they are already an unstoppable force in the car array.
Abuhan once again used his saber to cut down a young protector, pointed at Ran Qing, who was leading dozens of protectors to rush here, and shouted loudly, "Sons, take down this beautiful girl, let's play together." ”
"Thank you for the reward of thousands of households!"
More than 20 horsemen looked at the heroic Ran Qing, and couldn't help but be furious, shouting in unison.
Just as Abuhan was about to rush towards Ran Qing, suddenly an elderly militiaman in his forties and fifties rushed towards Jin Bing. The old militiaman didn't even hold a spear, but only held four thunderbolts with fuses in his arms.
Abuhan's soul was furious, and a saber was thrown, and it was slashing at the thigh of the old militiaman. The old militiaman fell to the ground, but as soon as he rolled on the ground, he rolled in front of Abhamma.
Hearing a bang, the old militia was shattered, and Abuhan and the first few golden soldiers also became dead.
The old militia's actions were like magic, and soon more elderly militiamen, holding the few thunderbolts, rushed towards the golden soldiers who rushed into the car formation.
The golden soldiers, who looked at the warriors of the world, finally ran into warriors who were more brave than them. In the case that they would rather be crushed to pieces than die with them, Jin Bing finally withdrew from the car formation.
"Rubbish! Rubbish! ”
Just when he was scolding at the breakthrough of Jiagu, Xiaoshan Luo Yanqing led 3,000 cavalry and rushed from the east and west. The rapid sound of horses' hooves was like thunder in the sky, shaking the faces of the golden soldiers.
