Chapter 397: Heaven-shattering thunder makes another miraculous feat
"General, the old soldiers in the city are ready to support the lord at any time!"
Zhang Meng changed his previous decadent trend and said in a deep voice: "Very good, the army will fight for a while, and we will attack from its flank to avenge the revenge of Liao Tunnel City." ”
Du Wei Zhou Lan said hatefully: "Yes, you must take revenge." The lord came here, which means that the crisis of Andong City has been solved, and I am afraid that the Liaodong army does not know the situation. The day before yesterday, the Eagle Eye Division sent a message, saying that the lord had created a very powerful weapon, and this time he would definitely be able to defeat the Liaodong Army. ”
…………
"Blow the trumpet, archers prepare!" He Louyanzhao was the first to attack.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The low horn came slowly, and everyone could feel a slight tremor under their feet. This is the horn of the Liaodong Army.
The sound of bull horns slowly passed over the silent battlefield, and the weeds that had not yet been trampled down were shaking their heads in horror, as if they were about to witness the largest battle on the land. The bright sunlight seemed to feel the tension coming from below, and it also slightly converged the light, and the sunlight became softer.
"Blow the trumpet, stand the shield, defend, prepare the ballista battalion!"
"Woo woo woo ......"
The horn of the Xiaoguo Army sounded immediately.
The meaning of the signal from the horns of the two armies is basically the same: a desperate decisive battle! Resolutely do not retreat!
The low horn deeply shook the heart of every soldier on the battlefield, even the most senior officer, in front of this kind of military horn, is just an ordinary soldier, in the cruel war, their lives will also end, under the dense swords, guns and halberds, their lives. It's as fragile as an egg under a boulder.
However, the 30,000 soldiers who participated in the battle of Andong City were slightly better, and in their opinion, this battle was a thunderstorm and would be won!
The non-commissioned officers of the Liaodong army can basically become archers at any time, so at this moment, the Liaodong army is mainly attacking, and the Xiaoguo army is defending with shields.
The archers of the Liaodong Army changed their positions and adjusted the best attack position. And the shield in front of the Xiaoguo Army is also constantly changing, combining the shield array more densely; The sword and shield men were also quietly changing their queues, apparently adjusting the order of their attacks......
"Attack!"
He Lou Yanzhao waved his hand vigorously and gave the order to attack without hesitation.
The dense Liaodong Army and the Huaixi Army immediately lined up and walked out of their own formation, moving in the direction of Xiaoguo Junbao like an arrow.
"Command the rear army, let the war horse tied to the earth-shaking thunder get ready!" Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
In order to maintain the attack formation, the Liaodong Army did not advance quickly. Black pressed human head. It was like a huge dark cloud, covering the grassy ground. It was like a flood without an embankment, pressing down on the army and ground of Xiaoguo. Their footsteps were not very neat, but the sound of heavy footsteps still made the palms of many Xiaoguo soldiers sweat.
"Ballista battalion, launch!" Seeing that the Liaodong Army was approaching three hundred meters, Zhao Xun shouted coldly.
"Chirp!"
The Zhang crossbow and the Fuyuan crossbow were fired one after another.
Because the crossbow arrows were shot at an extremely fast speed, the sound of piercing the air was very harsh, like a short burst of thunder.
"Poof! Poof! Poof! ”
This kind of sound sounded continuously on the battlefield, and in the military formation of the Liaodong Army, long marks were suddenly drawn, and the crossbow was lost and penetrated for two or three times before it stopped. And the Liaodong soldiers could only pray secretly, hoping that they would not be missed by this kind of crossbow. If it weren't for the rapid march, Zhao Xun was afraid that even the large bed crossbow would have been moved, which would be the real weapon.
The screams continued, but the Liaodong Army still rushed forward, but the originally tight formation was a little scattered, and there were holes one by one.
"Let those horses go out!"
Among the Chinese army, three military formations received Zhao Xun's military orders at the same time. Then the soldiers lit the torches on the back of the horses.
"Get out of the way!"
More than a thousand soldiers poked the back of the war horse fiercely, and suddenly, the war horse that was originally standing quietly and wearing heavy armor let out a long roar and galloped forward like crazy. At the same time, the Xiaoguo army made way of one passage after another, allowing the galloping war horses to rush through Guò.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"What is the Xiaoguo Army doing? A heavily armored horse but no knight? ”
"Let them in, slow them down, and leave them all behind. Trying to use this to break up our formation, wishful thinking! Xiaoguo Army, that's all. He Louyanzhao said with a sneer.
He Louyanzhao ordered, naturally not because of this thousand war horses, but because of this thousand heavy armor. There is no shortage of war horses in Liaodong, but there is a lack of iron weapons, and even the armor on the soldiers is not ready, let alone heavy armor. This thousand-heavy armor is a great gain for He Lou Yanzhao, and it is worth exchanging it for 5,000 people.
"Well, it's best to arm my personal guard!" He Lou Yanzhao secretly rejoiced in his heart.
And Zhao Xun fixed his eyes firmly on the thousand blindfolded war horses. The reason why he put on heavy armor was that in addition to guarding against the arrows of the Liaodong Army, he also relied on him to rush away from the opponent's interception. It seems that things are going very well, and the commander of the Liaodong Army actually put a thousand war horses directly into the military formation.
Seeing that the Liaodong soldiers surrounded him, wanting to trap the war horse and slow it down, Zhao Xun realized that his heavy armor was taken by the other party.
"Is my stuff so easy to take? Besides, I'm going to be idiotic and give you the heavy armor? Although these heavy armors are made of plate armor, they are not picked up for nothing on the ground. ”
Seeing the war horse entering the Liaodong Army formation, Zhao Xun's face couldn't help but smile.
"It's a pity for these war horses!" Han Meng, who was beside Zhao Xun, sighed.
Before Zhao Xun could speak, Han Meng said to himself: "However, the Liaodong Army will give us more." ”
"Well, you're right, the Liaodong Army will give me more!" Zhao Xun said with a smile.
"Huh? What is tied to this war horse? After a group of war horses were pulled, the Liaodong soldiers around him finally found that there were four or five large packages tied on both sides of the war horses, and said puzzledly.
"What can it be, nine times out of ten it is the personal belongings of the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army. In order to break through our army's formation, I don't even need war horses, let alone these things. ”
"What does it smell like?" One of the soldiers twitched his nose and said puzzledly.
The smell of the fuse burning has already wafted in, and the taste is a little pungent.
"I don't know...... Whatever, the heavy armor on this war horse is a good thing! A hundred-man chief wiped the armor on the war horse and said to himself.
And He Lou Yanzhao was also anxious to see his armor, and also ran to a war horse that was led by the soldiers, and smelled this pungent smell. Kindness? He Lou Yanzhao felt that it was a bit like the smell of sulfur...... Brimstone?
How can there be sulfur?
When he was surprised, there was a sudden earth-shattering loud noise, which lifted all the generals around him into the air, and then there was darkness in front of him, and he didn't know anything.
"Boom ......"
Looking out of the city wall, I only saw that the Liaodong Army's five-mile-long military formation was instantly shrouded in bursts of black smoke, and violent squires came out, making the entire battlefield and even the people of Changhe City feel as if there was continuous thunder.
Almost at the same moment, thousands of loud noises came out in the ranks of the Liaodong Army, and the blazing fire lit up half of the sky. As if a storm had raged, the surrounding Liaodong soldiers fell down one after another.
Originally, the military formation was gathered together, and what was good or not was that He Lou Yanzhao still wanted these battle armors, but as a result, thousands of war horses were pulled into the Chinese army, now it's okay, the Chinese army is the Liaodong Army is the most dense, shoulder to shoulder, dense, after the explosives bag carried by thousands of war horses exploded, the power can be imagined, the ground is densely packed with the broken corpses of Liaodong soldiers, and some are stunned and penetrated by thistles. After a series of loud explosions, the originally dense Liaodong Army formation was blown to pieces, and the Liaodong soldiers in front and behind were dumbfounded, as if they were stupid, and they didn't know what to do now.
The site of the sudden explosion was in the center of the dense Liaodong Army, and the huge shock wave directly blew the dense enemy troops out of an open space of nearly ten zhang, and the radius of dozens of zhang was overturned.
After the explosion, it was like rain, and all kinds of broken and fragmented things were constantly sprinkled from the sky. There are the heads of war horses, the arms and calves of soldiers, and other parts, as well as broken pieces of cloth and armor.
At that moment, a thousand explosion points exploded, directly forming hundreds of large gaps in the military formation. Many of them overlap.
What's more, He Louyan Zhao and some generals envied these heavy armors, and as a result, most of them were attacked by earth-shattering thunder, and they couldn't die anymore.
Although the power of these most primitive bombs cannot be compared with all kinds of explosives today, they are also the most powerful weapons of this era against such a dense crowd. In the vicinity of the explosive packets, which were constantly exploding, the casualties of the Liaodong Army were visible at a glance. After every earth-shattering thunderbolt explodes. The originally dense Liaodong Army team has become much more sparse, and many people are thrown to the ground like this, and they don't know whether they are dead or alive.
Even the Xiaoguo soldiers and Qingzhuang who were watching the battle in the city were dumbfounded and dumbfounded at this moment.
"Come on, open the city gate, the whole army will come out, and these Liaodong troops must be left behind!" Zhang Meng was the first to react and shouted. He knew that the power of the explosion seemed to be not small, but it was absolutely impossible to leave all the Liaodong Army, and there would definitely be more than half of the Liaodong soldiers who would run away. And this is the time for them to take revenge.
"Obey! Open the gates and kill me! ”
The Liaodong sergeant in front didn't know what was going on, only heard the thunder, the earth was trembling, and when he looked sideways, the military array behind him was completely scattered.
"Could it be that the gods are angry and send down thunder?"
"The gods are angry! Heaven is protecting the Xiaoguo Army? Run! ”
I don't know who it is, but with an exclamation, the entire front army of the Liaodong Army completely collapsed, threw down what was in his hand, and fled in all directions. At this moment, they can't care about anything, the gods are angry, who dares to fight against them?
With a bang, he pulled out the horizontal knife that had been replaced by the Ling Xuan Sword because he had left it to Xu Qinlian, and shouted: "Brothers, the Liaodong Army is finished!" Come on! ”
"Rush!" Han Meng, beside Zhao Xun, roared loudly and took the lead in rushing forward. The cavalry of the personal guard battalion, except for the part that remained by Zhao Xun's side, the rest rushed up, and the cavalry on both sides also pounced.
"Rush! Annihilate them all! The officers and men of the three armies suddenly roared in unison and launched an attack on the Liaodong Army. The front army of the Liaodong Army, which was originally violent, suddenly fled frantically like a chased duck, and the weapons and flags in their hands had long been thrown away!
"Rush!" The soldiers of the Sixth Mansion finally reacted, without him, they had never seen such a weapon, and they still didn't know what was going on, and they only reacted when they saw that the other soldiers rushed forward.
Suddenly, the Xiaoguo soldiers, who had now become extremely brave, chased the Liaodong soldiers on their backs, like targets, and were constantly killed!
"Kill...... Settle an old score! On the west side of the Liaodong Army, the soldiers of Changhe City also rushed out, and the first to encounter their attack was the cavalry on the right flank of the Liaodong Army who had not yet reacted. These cavalry of the Liaodong Army were completely stunned by the previous explosion and did not react at all, and as a result, they encountered a joint attack by the Xiaoguo Army and the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army in the city, and the result was naturally self-evident......
Many Xiaoguo soldiers found that the Liaodong Army team in front of them was completely blown to the ground, under the attack of the Xiaoguo Army. As fragile as tissue paper, the only thing they can do right is to run away.
Some Liaodong soldiers seemed to be frightened stupidly, standing there stupidly, facing the Xiaoguo army that rushed up, they didn't know how to escape, they didn't know how to resist, and in the end they could only be hacked to death by the other party. There were also some Liaodong soldiers crawling on the ground with difficulty, covered in blood, and the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army passed by them, without even looking down. They could only helplessly watch as the Xiaoguo Army disappeared in front of them, waiting for an unknowable fate.
The Xiaoguo army has already occupied a complete upper hand, sweeping like a wave, and the remaining Liaodong soldiers and soldiers are not organized at all, they are completely scattered and fleeing indiscriminately around, but they are soon caught up and killed by the Xiaoguo soldiers!
