Chapter Ninety-Six: Attacks Fail One Succession After Another
Before the war, not to mention the attacking officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty, even the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty could not think of it. A small barbed wire fence can play such a big role. Not to mention slowing down the enemy's infantry attack, it also allows the archers to kill the enemy easily.
In fact, for Zhao Xiaoxi, this kind of barbed wire full of barbs was still very time-consuming to get out in the era when there was no wire drawing machine. Even if it was him, he specially explained that the factory urgently produced a batch before he was pulled here to use it.
This kind of barbed wire, which is coiled together when not in use, once nailed to the stake and pulled up, is an iron fence. If you want to get to this iron fence, you can't do it without a little effort. And on the battlefield, the speed is limited, which means that it is a matter of life.
Looking at the corpses of many soldiers left in front of each barbed wire, Wan Jiejun's faces were all black. Immediately ordered: "Mingjin retreats!" ”
The clanging sound sounded, and the attacking troops, who had already felt their scalps tingling, quickly receded like a tide. And when they retreated, the sword and shield soldiers on the side of the Great Song Dynasty chased and killed them.
Even soon, when these sword and shield soldiers came to the battlefield strewn with corpses. Those Li Dynasty soldiers who were still screaming were unceremoniously stabbed by them. At this time, Zhao Xiaoxi had no medicine to treat these wounded soldiers.
What's more, this battle has just begun, and he doesn't need to show any mercy. Only by provoking the anger of these officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty can he better implement his defensive counterattack tactics.
Looking at the sword and shield hands of the Great Song Dynasty, he unhurriedly harvested the lives of the wounded soldiers and retreated to the Li Dynasty generals who were at a safe distance. I also feel that my heart is dripping blood. Anyway, those are their soldiers!
And what made them vomit blood even more was that the sword and shield hand dealt with the lives of the wounded soldiers of the Li Dynasty on the one hand. While shooting the archers, the iron arrows that can still be used are packed and retrieved. Under the attention of the officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty, the barbed wire fence began to be carefully arranged.
Seeing all this, the Wanjie army, which had paid the price of nearly a thousand soldiers killed, was all over, although his face was very ugly. But he kept staring at the movements of those sword and shield soldiers, and soon he came up with a way to break the barbed wire array like this.
Come to think of it. He immediately said, "Here we are, and the wooden cart that transports grain has been dismantled." Put those big planks of planks and wait for the next attack. Set up on the iron net, you don't have to worry about the iron net hurting people.
In addition, the shield-bearer covered the archers and slowly pressed over, removing all the iron mesh stakes. Open a passage for the riders behind to advance. Remember. The first thing the shieldmen did in battle was to remove the iron mesh stakes, remember! ”
After giving instructions to several of his generals, these retreating Li Dynasty soldiers quickly adjusted the order of attack again, and no longer tried to attack the Great Song barracks at once as they had just done. Rather, it is to take a relatively safe approach to attack.
Cho Hyo-seok, who has been staring at the movements of the Li Dynasty's army. Seeing this scene, he smiled and said, "The children can be taught." It seems that this commander of the Li Dynasty is not useless! At least, after suffering a loss, you can come up with such an idea.
Unfortunately, the barbed wire itself was a weapon used to slow down the infantry attack. Such an attack avoided being blocked by barbed wire. But such a slow attack, is it really true that our archers are vegetarians?
Zhao Da, push out those iron fence cars. Although the Li Dynasty sent shield bearers to break our barbed wire. Let's have fun with these shieldbearers. This king thinks that the scene must be very interesting! ”
As Zhao Xiaoxi's order was issued, Zhao Da quickly relayed the order. A group of sword and shield men, escorting a few very strange cars, came to the open space of two barbed wire, and looked at the Li Chao sword and shield men who slowly pressed over.
The generals of the Li Dynasty, who were also watching the formation in the rear, watched that the Great Song Dynasty actually sent sword and shield hands, covering a circle, covering several strange cars from Guli to come out. What is this car?
In fact, just looking at the image, you will feel that this car looks like a beehive, all of which are black iron pipes. As for what the iron pipe can launch, we will have to wait for the car to attack.
The shield bearers of the Li Dynasty, who were covering the archers' attack, looked at the cars that seemed to be aimed at them, and they were also very curious. What the hell is this car? Look like this, it should be used to deal with them specifically!
This unknown is what is truly frightening. But as shield bearers, what they can rely on is the shield in their hands. Thinking of this, the shield bearers held the shields in their hands tighter, for fear of encountering some danger.
For them, this iron shield is the guarantee of their lives. Not to mention them, even the archers behind them will need them to help resist the bows and arrows fired by the Great Song Dynasty.
Just when they were not far from the first barbed wire, the shield hand on the side of the Great Song. Get in front of the strange car and watch out for the attack of the Li Dynasty archers. When they got behind the iron cart, some of the men in armor shouted, "Withdraw!" ”
These Great Song Shield players quickly retreated to the back of the strange car. At the same time, the armored soldier standing behind the strange car had already lit a torch, and looked at the Li Chao sword and shield men who were about to dial the stakes in front of him with a cold face.
At this moment, the military attache commanding the iron fence car said very calmly: "Each car obeys the order and ignites the fire!" ”
At this command, the soldier standing behind the iron fence car quickly set fire to the strings of leads. This strange phenomenon naturally aroused the curiosity of the officers and men of the Li Dynasty, who did not understand what to do with the strange car on fire.
If they had ever seen fireworks, they would have known that this beehive-like thing was more like a nest of sloping fireworks. When the strange car began to smoke, several soldiers pushed the car forward.
It didn't take long for the black iron pipe to emit a screaming sound. Spit out sparks and shoot at Li Chao's shield hand in front of him. When the shield sensed the danger behind the shield and tightened the shield tree, sparks flew in all directions on the shield.
At first, they thought it was nothing, but when the fire became more and more, there were even iron arrows shot from some iron pipes. These shield-bearers suddenly felt like they were shrouded in a blaze of fire.
Until a shield bearer, accidentally killed by an iron arrow, a Li Dynasty soldier who vacated a shield. There was no time to block it, and it was shrouded in strings of non-stop sparks.
This blazing flame, and the arrows that accompanied it, completely plunged these sword and shield men, and the archers behind them, into a hell of blood and fire. There was no need for Ming Jin at all, and these Li Dynasty soldiers began to run for their lives.
It's just that no matter how fast they are, how can they be faster, the fireworks shot out of these iron pipes!
Looking at the position ahead, it was already shrouded in a puff of smoke. Zhao Xiaoxi, who was staring at the battlefield in front of him, shook his head and said, "This thing still needs to be improved, and the lethality is slightly insufficient." If it can be fired, a small cannonball is a big killer. ”
In this regard, Zhao Da also nodded and said: "Lord Wang, this is just a firearms workshop, sent to us for actual combat testing." Only after actual combat will they make corresponding improvements. I believe that the expectations of the prince will definitely be realized. ”
In fact, for Zhao Hyo-seok, he had seen the power of rocket launches in his previous life, so he felt that this kind of iron fence car was useless. But it turns out that this kind of thing is still very effective in group battles.
In places where archers can't reach at all, detonate this kind of thing directly. Without shield-player defense, no one can stop at all. These flames are combined with iron nails and iron spikes, but they are excellent group attack weapons!
For Cho Hyo-seok, this thing may not be very useful. But for the generals of the Li Dynasty, their faces were a little pale at the moment. Fortunately, he didn't let the troops swarm before, otherwise the losses caused would be even more than before.
When a few of the strange cars stopped spewing fire, and the wind blew, the shieldmen and archers. There are not many people who have really fled back to their own formation, and in front of the entire Great Song Dynasty defensive position, there are the wails of the dead and wounded.
Looking at these strange cars, they were quickly pushed back to the Song army camp, and the sword and shield hands of the corpses came out again. Wanjie Jundu, who didn't want the soldiers to be harvested again, also hurriedly ordered to help people go over and carry some wounded soldiers back.
For this situation, Da Song's sword and shield hands don't seem to block it much. It's just that the soldiers of the Li Dynasty, who were relatively close to the front of the formation, were slaughtered one by one, and the discarded shields were not too heavy to be taken back to the formation.
Even if Wan Jiejun sent archers, he wanted to step forward to retrieve the wounded soldiers, but because he was at a disadvantage. was suppressed and shot by the archers of the Great Song Dynasty. In the end, the helpless Wanjie army was unified, so he could only give up temporarily and find another way to fight again.
The other two armies, who had been standing in the rear to watch the battle, were all in charge, and saw that Wan Jie failed in both battles. Without even touching the opponent's camp, he was beaten back in embarrassment, losing the lives of thousands of soldiers, not to mention causing damage to the Great Song Army at all.
Realizing that the two generals in front of him who were not easy to mess with with the turtle shell, seeing the morale of Wanjie's army frustrated, they also rationally let it truce. After all, at this time, it was already late, and it was not suitable to fight again.
The officers and soldiers of Wan Jie, who collected the troops and returned to the camp, looked at the wounded soldiers who were carried back, and the wailing voice, and also felt that this battle was not easy to fight. With this kind of subconscious, it is undoubtedly a very serious matter for this usually very confident Tianzi Army.
Compared with the morale of the Li Dynasty's army, the loss on Zhao Xiaoxi's side was only two soldiers who were accidentally shot by stray arrows. In addition to some soldiers who were slightly wounded, the morale of the soldiers was undoubtedly greatly boosted, and they felt that their belief in victory had been strengthened a lot.
Seeing the Li Dynasty army returning to the camp and looking at the darkening sky, Zhao Xiaoxi felt that in order to make a little impression on the officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty. You should surprise them in the evening!
whispered a few words in Zhao Da's ear, and a wicked smile quickly appeared on Zhao Da's face, and he trotted to give orders. And all this, the officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty naturally did not know. At this moment, the three Heavenly Son Army are all in charge, and they are thinking with a sad face, the tactics of tomorrow's attack! (To be continued......)
