266. Horror
Following his order, the Jurchens roared out, and when thousands of war horses galloped, the momentum was so great that the heavens and the earth were about to collapse!
At this time, the three warships were still dozens of feet away from the shore!
When the Jurchens rushed out, Yu Liyan in the military formation held her breath, not only her, but even Yelubulu, Cui Yongzhu and other generals who had been in the army for many years, and it was difficult to breathe at that moment!
Seeing that there was hope of escaping, but at this time, the Jurchens attacked blatantly, as if they were doing it on purpose, to let them see hope first, and then beat them into despair!
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
After staying for a moment, Yu Liyan screamed, she wanted to use this to boost morale. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that in the face of the overwhelming Jurchens, the Goryeo camp and the Khitan camp, some are only desperate!
He smirked on his horse, as if he heard Yu Liyan's desperate screams.
Of course, he himself would not personally rush into battle, and he changed the generation of Hulu, and every time he went into battle, there were hundreds of thousands of people, and he had to risk the arrows himself, but in the generation of Huben, there were many subordinates, and there were fewer personal adventures when he went out to fight.
Especially in this battle now, in his opinion, there is no doubt that he will win, and he does not need to gamble with his life at all.
Therefore, although he also urged his horse forward, the speed of the horse was not fast.
He felt that he just had to follow the brigade, reach the battlefield, and reap the victory......
Rumble!
Just when he felt that victory was within reach, suddenly, there was a thunderous explosion in the distance.
This sound drowned out the sound of horses' hooves galloping!
He hurriedly raised his eyes and saw that behind the enemy's army, on the sea, the three big ships had lined up, and thick white smoke rose from the three ships.
He didn't understand what it meant, but the next moment, he knew.
In the direction of the front of his ranks, about fifty zhang away from the Liao army's formation, a black ball fell in mid-air. The ball smashed into the crowd, and suddenly the man flipped on his back, and the screams of the man and the neighing of the horse splattered with flesh and mud...... In an instant, among the Jurchens, several flesh and blood ditches appeared!
"This ...... This ......" was full of buzzing in his head, as if the loud sound was still echoing.
The Jurchens were still half a mile away from Yu Liyan's military array, and if there was no such sudden attack, half a mile away would be in an instant, but this ensemble of thunder and death made the Jurchens who were rushing panic.
If they could see the enemy, they would not be afraid to step forward and fight hard, but now, they are facing an invisible enemy, death from the sky!
In the neighing of the horses, the Jurchens either stopped the horses, or turned to the side and ran away, leaving the death line of Fang Cai. During this process, because the horses collided or inertia was difficult to stop, there were more than ten incidents of falling horses.
Before they could settle down, the rumbling cannon rang out again.
On the Xuanniao, Zhang Heng grinned, covered his ears with his hands, and scolded recklessly: "Damn, it's too hard!" ”
Because of the recoil of the cannon, the battleship shook violently, and if Zhang Heng hadn't tied himself to the side of the ship, he was afraid that he would have stumbled and fallen in this violent shaking.
"Hit six shots!" After a while of the cannonade, someone shouted above the mast.
The three ships fired their guns, and in order to avoid knocking the ship down by recoil, it was not at the same time, and there was a slight gap between the front and rear. The Xuanniao has three guns, and the Xuanwu and Qinglong have seven, adding up to seventeen guns, hitting a large area of land targets, with six hits, and the hit rate is just over 30% - if you use a bow and arrow, this hit rate is really a bit ugly, but in terms of artillery, this hit rate is very good.
It is also the result of Zhou Quan's willingness to invest, in ordinary training, almost every cannon is shot, which is 20 yuan, which is not counting the loss of the artillery itself, after all, the artillery is used too much, and it can only be recast.
Don't look at the Donghai Chamber of Commerce is so profitable, Zhou Quan's business is lucrative, in fact, he spends money even more fiercely, just training artillery a year, it costs nearly one million.
It is precisely this cost-free investment that has the accuracy of today's ship's artillery. But Zhang Shun also understands that this is to hit a large-area target on land to be so accurate, if you hit a ship at sea, under the swing of the wind and waves, ten cannons can hit one cannon, it is already full of immortal protection.
The second round of shooting brought more shock to the Jurchens than the first round.
After all, in the first round, everyone was not prepared, but in this round, when the cannon sounded, the Jurchens looked at the sky in horror, heard the whistling sound in the sky, and then vaguely saw something falling.
Then, there were five more traces of death.
It's as if the Han Chinese used a plough to plough the fertile black soil, but now it's not the dirt but the flesh and blood.
At this time, all that was in his mind was the howl of the Goryeo people he had killed.
"The man of the princess of Shu will summon divine thunder and turn you into pulp!"
He pursed his lips, his fear of the unknown outweighed his desire for victory, he didn't know what was going on, so he took what the Jurchens did best when faced with such a situation.
Fall back!
He turned his horse's head and prepared to retreat, just when the third round of fire from the ship came.
The original goal of a cannonball was to rush towards Yu Liyan's Jurchen army array, but after firing, it lost its accuracy, and it flew in the direction of Yu Ben far away from its original target.
The range of the artillery on the warship is larger than the five-pound cannon that Zhou Quan equipped for the army, and this eight-pound iron bullet, because of an accident, hit the longest range and flew three miles, only then did it lose its strength and fall into the Jurchens.
Bang!
After smashing the body of a Jurchen, it bounced high and rolled on the ground, and at the end, it hit the hind leg of the warhorse.
The horse fell down screaming, and he fell straight from his horse, nearly being crushed by the horse.
Although he was not fatally injured, but he was also smashed to the head and bleeding, and the surrounding Jurchens were panicked, so far away, the iron ball that fell from the sky could still hit the people, doesn't it mean that as long as it is on the battlefield, no position is safe?
When he got up, he saw the shell.
It's just a swarthy ball of iron...... But how did the other party throw him from the sky?
He stretched out his hand, trembling, wanting to touch the iron ball, but he didn't dare.
"You, take it with you, take it back!"
The guard next to him dismounted to help him, he stood up, and then gave the order in a brutal manner.
The guards were also so frightened that their faces changed color, this thing took the lives of so many people, who knows if anything else will happen, it fell from the sky, could it be that the gods in the sky threw it down? They are just mortals, where would they dare to touch such a dangerous thing?
But under the waist knife of the sword, the guard understands that if he touches it, he may not die, but if he does not move, he will definitely die!
He had to bend down, cautiously, reaching for the cannonball.
Just then, the fourth round of shelling began.
There was a loud noise, and he shrank his head almost instinctively, but he saw the guard rolling over on the ground, then got up and got on his horse, and galloped away without hesitation.
Ren Yuben shouted and threatened in the back, and the guard did not look back.
In fact, the effect of the fourth round of shelling was even worse, only one shell fell into the crowd, but the Jurchens who were frightened by this flying disaster had no way to count them. Neither did he notice this, and he dragged the other guard off his horse and put the knife directly around his neck.
"Pick up, get up, come!"
Word for word, the guard had to reach for the cannonball.
As soon as his palms touched the cannonball, he screamed and hurriedly withdrew his hands.
After the cannon is discharged, the high temperature is generated by the friction, and the palm of the meat sticks to it, which will naturally be hot and screaming. It's just that the Jurchens didn't know this truth, and when he saw that the guard's hand had just touched the iron ball, he began to scream, so frightened that he hurriedly jumped back and took a few steps back.
Then he saw the guard shrinking his hand and shaking violently, constantly blowing his palms, and shouting "so hot" in his mouth, that he understood.
Pushing the guard away, he wrapped his hand in a cloth and picked up the cannonball.
The eight-pound iron ball, which was not too heavy in his hand, tied it to the back of his horse, and looked back at the seaside again.
Liao's battle formation has dispersed, and this was originally the best opportunity to charge - he knew very well that in this era, attacking in formation was ten times more powerful than the stragglers without formation, but he also knew that he had lost the opportunity.
Morale had collapsed, and his only option was to lead the army out to avoid greater losses.
Thinking that after he went back, he would have to face the disgusting face of the little ghost of Wushu, and he was angry.
In this battle by the sea, the losses of the Jurchens were not very large, and there were only more than 100 people killed by the shelling, and their forwards rushed into Yu Liyan's military formation, causing dozens of casualties, so strictly speaking, the number of casualties on both sides was close.
Therefore, when the troops were withdrawn, the strength did not suffer much loss. Yu Liyan didn't dare to pursue, she just couldn't wait to walk towards the beach, hoping to see the person she thought about day and night.
But what disappointed her was that she never saw Zhou Quan on the three warships.
Because he was afraid of running aground, the big ship did not dock, but lowered the sampan, and it didn't take long for the sailors on the sampan to see Yu Liyan.
"It's Zhang Dudu!" Seeing Zhang Shun surrounded by sailors, Yeluburu and Choi Yongsu stepped forward to salute with happy faces, they were acquaintances.
Zhang Shun smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulder, and then glanced at Yu Liyan. He is a rough man, although he knows that Zhou Quan dotes on the woman in front of him, but because the other party is a Liao, he just gave a big salute: "I've seen the princess." ”
Yu Liyan didn't care about this, she asked eagerly: "What about Zhou Lang, where is Zhou Lang now?" ”
"Da Lang sent me to the estuary to watch, he expected that if you escaped, it might be from the Liao River, and he himself was on land, so he should arrive soon, right?" Zhang Shun said.
Yu Liyan was a little disappointed, she couldn't help but look at the land, and then, her face was stunned.
Because just in the distance, several horses galloped over, and she was familiar with the leader! (To be continued.) )
