Chapter 266: The Great War (3)

After more than 40,000 Great Song soldiers ate instant noodles in batches, Zhao Gu ordered them to go and collect the corpses of the fallen soldiers, and at the same time replace the people who were collecting the corpses. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The replaced people went to eat noodles again, and the new ones carried the corpses back to the barracks, and some of the corpses that really couldn't tell who was who were gathered until the first fire was burned, so that the ashes could be returned to the Great Song Dynasty.

This time, not all of them were collecting the corpses, but some of them took advantage of the rain curtain to pick up shovels and start digging holes in the ground.

The purpose of digging a pit is naturally to bury the Shenwei Thunderbolt, and this pit also requires skill to dig, after all, Zhao Gu has not yet invented a mine, so if you want the Shenwei Thunderbolt to have enough strength to rub the flint and steel in the iron ball, you can't bury them too deep, otherwise even if people step on it, it will not cause an explosion.

And these thunderbolts can't be buried in the back of the soldiers, otherwise anyone who accidentally steps on them will definitely trigger an explosion.

Therefore, the soldiers could only dig pits wherever the corpses were cleaned up.

And because the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty ate instant noodles and almost didn't spend any time eating, everyone didn't feel hungry at all when they got to work, and the efficiency was naturally high, and they buried 2,000 Shenwei thunderbolts in a short time.

On the side of Western Xia, there was never a habit of cleaning the battlefield, and there was a custom on the grassland, that is, in every disaster year, the food would always be left for the young and middle-aged people in the tribe to eat, and they would choose to give up the old and young women and children, because they wanted to preserve the fire of life, and only the young and middle-aged people could live better and inherit their tribe. Therefore, they are very indifferent to the thing of life, and they will not pay attention to the dead people, and naturally there will be no such thing as the corpse of the soldier.

Therefore, the arrangement of the Great Song Dynasty's divine power thunderbolt will not be the first to be seen through by Western Xia.

Near noon, under the expectation of all the soldiers of Zhao Gu and the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Xia cavalry attacked again.

Not surprisingly, this time Li Jiqian sent 150,000 soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress them, while the remaining 20,000 cavalry were kept by Li Jiqian to protect him.

The 150,000 cavalry ran, almost like an earthquake, and only the sound of horses' hooves remained on the grassland, and even the sound of wind and rain was completely suppressed, and the rain splashed by horses' hooves scattered like fireworks, and from a distance, it looked like another stone had fallen into the calm waters.

Zhao Gu slowly raised his hand: "Everyone be on alert." ”

The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty couldn't help but clench their weapons in their hands, and at the same time, the archers and crossbowmen began to load their bows and arrows, and when the Western Xia cavalry reached the range, they would shoot arrows immediately.

Slowly, the Western Xia cavalry was only a thousand meters away from the Great Song army!

Five hundred meters!

Three hundred meters!

Two hundred meters!

Suddenly, Zhao Gu shouted: "Release the arrow." ”

I saw that the three thousand Great Song archers all let go of the bows and arrows in their hands, and shot a vacuum directly in the ranks of the Western Xia cavalry, and all the Western Xia cavalry in this wave of arrow rain shrouded the area fell down with a brush, some were killed by bows and arrows, and some were trampled to death.

Immediately afterwards, the Great Song crossbow archers also let go of the crossbow arrows with thick arms, and saw a torrent heading straight towards the camp of the Western Xia cavalry, like a meteor falling from the sky, directly loaded into the Western Xia army.

The power of crossbow arrows is huge, especially in the torrent of the Western Xia army, there is almost no such thing as being unable to shoot people, and as long as they are shot by crossbow arrows, it often means that two or three Western Xia soldiers are trampled to death.

If a crossbow arrow hits a horse's hooves, the horse's hooves will be cut off, and the horse's center of gravity will instantly become unstable and fall to the side.

And when the cavalry charges, as soon as it falls, it means that it will be trampled on the flesh.

From the time the Great Song Dynasty shot the arrows to the completion of the crossbow arrows, it was only about ten breaths, and the Western Xia cavalry had lost nearly 5,000 people, and countless wounded, which showed the horror of war in the era of cold weapons.

But despite this, none of the Western Xia cavalry stopped, seeing that they were about to rush through the trench.

Zhao Gu and the soldiers continued to look around, silently counting the distance between the Western Xia cavalry and the burial of the Shenwei Thunderbolt.

One hundred meters!

Fifty meters!

Twenty meters!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

“……。”

With a loud bang, the whole world seemed to be silent all of a sudden, and even the rain above the place where the Divine Thunderbolt was buried was empty, which was caused by the bomb being triggered.

30,000 Shenwei thunderbolts were detonated together, how big their huge explosive power was, it was difficult to describe in words, anyway, Rao was expected by Zhao Gu in advance, so he retreated hundreds of meters away with the Great Song army, and his ears were still 'buzzing' by this loud noise, and he was deaf for a short time.

No wonder he felt that the world was quiet all of a sudden, because he couldn't hear any sound at all.

The explosion lasted for a long time, and the explosion site was already hazy, covered in smoke, earth and rocks, and grass clippings.

When the smoke passed, where was there still the original shadow in that area, even the ground was blown away a few meters alive, and the 150,000 Western Xia cavalry who originally ran on it were even more invisible, and only when the rain fell again in the sky could Zhao Gu and the others see their cent.

I saw that the rain was mixed with liquids of various colors, including black, yellow, red, and white, and the smell was extremely unpleasant.

Seeing this, Zhao Gu and the others hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, it was really that these smells were too disgusting, Rao was Zhao Gu used to seeing big scenes, and he also had a feeling of wanting to vomit.

At this time, Zhao Gu suddenly reacted that Li Jiqian was still on the other side, and hurriedly shouted: "Brothers, go and capture Li Jiqian alive for me!" ”

As soon as the words came out, he found that everyone was looking at him blankly, and he realized that not only could he not hear the sound now, but even other people were the same, so he could only point in the direction of Li Jiqian helplessly.

Only then did everyone understand what he meant, and they all went away with Li Jiqian's 20,000 army.

Li Jiqian was completely stupid at this time, he couldn't figure out how his 150,000 army didn't exist, as if time was frozen for a moment, his army was gone, and it seemed that he just heard a thunderclap of 'boom', and the army turned into smoke immediately after.

Is this the wrath of the gods?

Li Jiqian felt confused, he had 20,000 troops left, could he still be the lord of Western Xia?

It wasn't until he was pulled by his generals that he found the chasing Song army, that he realized his situation, quickly turned his horse's head, and began to run away without looking back.
