Chapter 63: Thunder on the Ground

This method of Nahai can be said to be very practical and practical, but it is a pity that today he was unlucky enough, but he ran into a Song army that can be called the strongest soldier in the Great Song Dynasty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the sound of the horns, the Mongolian army under the mountain lined up in formation, although there was not much space for them to exert themselves, but after the three thousand Mongolian troops were set up, the momentum was also quite majestic.

Many of the Colored Eyes and the New Annexes drew their swords together and pointed at the sky and roared loudly as a way for them to make a statement, and then the soldiers in the front row raised their shields and rushed up the hill with a shout.

Rise! The pikemen are out on the right, and the axemen are ready! Li Ruohu shouted to the generals who were sitting on the ground resting.

Don't look at Li Ruohu rarely leads the army in person, but after following Gao Huaiyuan for so long, even the most stupid person is already familiar with the method of arranging troops, plus Li Ruohu is not a stupid person, he already knows how to deal with such a battle, so after seeing the actions of the Mongolian army under the mountain, he immediately ordered to change the formation, pressed the two hundred spearmen in the right-hand position, supplemented by a hundred sword and axe hands, to block the Mongolian army attacking from the right-hand position.

Like the Mongolian army, the officers and men of the Song army who stood up also shouted in unison, and the sound was like rolling thunder, and it was transmitted down the mountain, and a group of Song officers and soldiers immediately completed the layout of the defense line in a short period of time according to Li Ruohu's instructions.

A large number of Mongol troops howled loudly like ants, and after activation, they accelerated their pace and rushed towards the Song army's defense line.

Na Hai played a trick, although the frontal battle line was relatively gentle, which was conducive to the impact of the cavalry under his command, but the trench in front of them became the biggest obstacle for them to approach the Song army, three hundred steps seemed to be very far, but it was just within the range of the Song army's strong crossbow, so he chose to let the new annex army attack head-on, but he chose the slightly steeper right side of the Song army and launched an attack.

Even if the back attack is not conducive to the impact of the cavalry, but the cavalry under the command of Nahai, who is superb in horsemanship, still chose to attack on horseback, not to mention that after a rest, the strength of the horses is also at its peak.

Gao Huaiyuan was very satisfied with Li Ruohu's arrangement, knowing that Li Ruohu had already become a general who could take charge of himself now, he secretly made up his mind that after the end of this war, he would let Li Ruohu go to the army and be a general alone, and he could no longer be left by his side as a personal soldier.

Seeing that the enemy army was getting closer and closer, the lookout in the army continued to report the distance of the enemy, until the enemy rushed to the front of the trench, a row of crossbowmen raised their arms to the front, with the officer's order, a row of crossbows immediately took off, with the sound of the grim smile of breaking the sky, quickly sprinkled in front of the trench.

Some of the new soldiers who rushed to the front immediately screamed wildly, fell to the ground on their backs, and became the first victims of this battle.

Gao Huaiyuan's guards are all equipped with the exquisite divine arm crossbows of the Southern Song Dynasty, and each of the divine arm crossbows and bows are full of more than two stones and five buckets, which is very strong, and the general leather shields are also useless in front of their all-iron arrows, and they will be penetrated immediately, which is still enough to shoot the enemy with the shield.

Therefore, even if the shield bearer who rushed to the front of the new annex army held a leather shield, but under such a sharp weapon, he was still shot on his back and turned over, which made the soldiers behind all tremble.

However, under the supervision of the Mongol officers behind, the soldiers of the newly annexed army did not dare to retreat without permission, and while raising their shields to cover their figures, they prayed for the heavens to bless them, and continued to rush forward.

A newly dug trench, in such a situation, can not dig much deep, in front of the tide of the new annex soldiers, just a little delay in their speed, a large number of new annex soldiers, jumped into the ditch, climbed over, and greeted them is round after round of scattering of divine arm crossbows, one by one unlucky new annex army shot over on both sides of the trench.

Li Ruohu knew very well that this trench could not block the impact of the enemy, and he didn't expect a trench that had just been dug not deep to block the enemy, all he needed was to delay the enemy for a short time and give the god arm crossbow more opportunities to fire, and the crossbowmen of the god arm crossbow did not live up to such a long time of drill, each crossbow loaded with arrows very quickly, and completed four or five rounds of firing in a short time, which gave great damage to the new annex army attacking frontally.

Immediately under his order, these crossbowmen were transferred to the right flank, and began to intercept the colored cavalry rushing up from the prancing horses, and soon after a row of crossbow arrows was fired, several horses rushing in front of them let out a mournful sound, and hit the ground headlong, throwing the knight on their backs away.

However, this kind of scattering could not stop the crazy rushing cavalry, and under the supervision of Nahai, the follow-up cavalry continued to frantically beat the war horses, and accelerated towards the mountain.

Three hundred steps seems to be a long way, but under the impact of the cavalry, it is only a matter of a few breaths, on the not wide front, a large number of Mongol troops began to rush to within a hundred steps, and the cavalry who are good at shooting immediately changed to the horn bows they took advantage of, and then on the way to the impact, began to counterattack the Song army.

Shield! An officer immediately shouted at the shield-wielding axemen, and the axemen in the front row immediately raised his left round shield above his head, forming a shield wall in front of the line.

Gao Huaiyuan has been calmly watching the actions of the Mongolian army, the main general of this Mongolian army has a very obvious combat intention, that is, as soon as he comes up, he will concentrate all his forces, intending to break through the defense line of their Song army in one fell swoop, and start a short encounter with the Song army, intending to completely defeat their Song army with absolute superiority in numbers.

Seeing that the enemy army began to squeeze into a limited area under the interception of his own crossbowmen, the corners of Gao Huaiyuan's mouth showed a cruel sneer.

Xing Fang! It's up to you! Gao Huaiyuan waved forward with the Mo knife in his hand, pointing in the direction of the hillside where the black pressure was crowded with the Mongolian army.

Xing Fang, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, turned around excitedly and roared at the gunners under his command after hearing Gao Huaiyuan's order.

Fire!

A row of gunners standing neatly on the side of the cannon immediately struggled to pestle the torches in their hands on the fire door at the tail of the cannon body, and the gunpowder in the feather tube was immediately ignited, hissing and smoking, and burned into the cannon body.

Just when everyone was paying attention to the distance between the two sides, the heaven and earth suddenly shook, and everyone first felt a few shaking under their feet before they heard a few loud noises like thunder, and then several flames erupted from the two wings of the Song army, and the thick smoke immediately enveloped the positions of the two wings of the Song army.

Looking at the gentle slope crowded with the Mongol army, when even a cloud of smoke rose up, and then I saw the broken human body soaring into the air, and the blood mist set off in the sky shrouded the heads of countless people, and after each round iron bullet fell into the enemy group, it was like a stone chip hitting the water, bounced up against the ground, and continued to fly forward at a rapid speed.

Everywhere they passed, the human bodies flew up in a chaotic manner, and human legs, internal organs, and severed limbs first flew into the air, and then fell one after another.

A soldier of the newly attached army felt a sharp thigh, I don't know what hit him, and he didn't even fall down, but he looked down and found that one of his thighs had disappeared, leaving only one leg to support his body, until this time, he felt a heart-rending pain from the broken leg, and in the midst of panic and pain, he fell to the ground on his back with the broken leg in his arms, and let out a scream like a wolf's howl.

After the Mongolian soldier was hit, he looked up and found that he only had half of his body left, and he didn't know what was stopping him from the waist and cutting him off, as if he had been cut in half, and a bunch of intestines flowed out of the broken fracture, so he also let out a near-death scream.

And the se-eyed cavalry who were rushing and firing arrows seemed to have seen victory beckoning to them, and even imagined in their minds the thrill of wielding their waist knives and cutting off the heads of enemy soldiers one by one, but the sudden roar brought them back to reality.

Several war horses or cavalry on horseback suddenly flew flesh and blood, turned into stumps and broken arms and flew away, and the soldiers and horses on the same line also fell down one after another, and a mournful neighing of war horses and the screams of people sounded.

After an iron bullet bounced on the ground, it continued to maintain a very high speed, and flew forward, and everything that stood in its way was pierced through until it lost its kinetic energy, and then it was embedded in the chest of a strong color-eyed cavalryman, and his entire chest was smashed deeply, and this color-eyed horseman spat blood mist from his mouth, and flew upside down from his horse, and fell heavily to the ground, and without even saying a word, he fell softly, and he could not survive.

The huge roar shocked the soldiers of the two armies on the entire battlefield, and many people couldn't help but tremble, but the most unlucky thing was the Mongolian cavalry who had just accelerated, and the unprepared war horses were immediately disturbed by these roars, jumping around, and the knights on horseback were shooting at the Song army with bows, and they didn't expect their horses to be frightened suddenly, and many cavalry were immediately lifted off their horses and fell to the ground.

Reload quickly, lower the muzzle and load the projectile! When the first round of artillery fires were over, Xing Fang began to shout at his artillery almost frantically on the noisy battlefield.

The gunners of the guns also began to work like crazy about this, the soldiers who wiped the barrel just pulled the brush out of the muzzle, and a gunner holding the bag immediately filled the bag into the chamber, and then the soldier holding the gun stick pounced on the gun and rammed the bag into the chamber with the gun rod, and the other gunner put a cork plug just equal to the diameter of the barrel into the muzzle, and the loader continued to pound the cork into the gun chamber to make it close to the gun bag, which played the role of sealing the gun chamber to reduce the leakage of gunpowder gas and increase the pressure of the chamber. Eventually, a gunner filled the chamber with a bag full of lead the size of a little finger's belly, and a group of people worked around the cannon for a while, the muzzle of the cannon was lowered and flattened, and it was facing the Mongol army, which was already within fifty paces in front of them.
