Chapter VIII
Yun Yang naturally understands this truth, Baili Wuji will never tolerate the rise of a powerful Hu force in the north of the Ming Kingdom.
Therefore, Yun Yang ordered the two new armies to be stationed on the spot and wait for the dawn.
Although Ding Sijin is not under the jurisdiction of Yun Yang, Yun Yang's order is exactly what he wants. In Ding Siji's heart, soldiers should be blood-stained battlefields and horse leather shrouds, and accepting prisoners of war is a troublesome and unreassuring thing for Ding Sijj, not to mention, where does the war merit come from not killing people?
After hearing Yun Yang's notice, Ding Sijin immediately chose to camp on the spot.
However, the vanguard of the two armies had already quietly hidden into the battlefield to prevent a sudden situation, after all, the coalition army belonged to the Ming vassal army, and if they were defeated by the blocking army, it would not be in the interests of the Ming state.
At the same time, Yun Yang ordered the New Army to escort Yang Ting's "bombing team" forward to ten miles away from the battlefield, looking for a suitable direction, matching the direction of the wind, and preparing for liftoff.
Yun Yang let Yang Tingshi freely control the time of lift-off after dawn, and handed over the command of this new army to Yang Tingshi.
It may be that providence is not on the side of the Divination Army.
When the sky was twilight, the wind direction blew a southeast wind, Yang Tingshi issued the order to lift off at the right time, nearly 100 hot air balloons rose at the same time, and the black air bags, because the sky was not bright, but also because both sides were staring at each other's actions, the balloon did not attract the attention of both sides of the battlefield.
The fierce battle between the two sides began again, and the sky was dark, and the soldiers on both sides once again trampled on the corpses of their comrades who died yesterday, and began another game of death.
The coalition forces have indeed reached the end of the strong bow, not to mention the difference in strength. In terms of equipment and training alone, the Hindu Army, which has been founded for many years, is indeed slightly superior.
The Obstruction Army's determination to survive only added to the pressure on the allied soldiers.
The fight just started. The coalition front began to loosen.
This was part of the plan of the two khans of the coalition army last night, but the coalition generals on the front line advanced this plan.
This is often the case on the battlefield, where the commander gives the order to hold on for half a day and then retreat, and if it is really to be carried out, it is often in advance rather than delayed.
There is only one exception, and that is that there is no way back.
The besieged have no way out, but the coalition forces are by no means the surrounded. So the gap, which was planned to be opened at noon, began to open up early and soon after the start of the war.
The Blockade Army was worried that it had nowhere to go, and saw that the coalition blocking line had loosened. And they surged in that direction.
At this time, all the military discipline and law systems were thrown aside, and only escaping was a real victory.
The situation on the battlefield changed in an instant, and more than 100,000 obstruction troops quickly gathered towards the gap. The density of people has reached an indescribable level.
In order to escape as many people as possible from this gap. The Obstruction Army began to throw away a qiē thing that could be discarded, war horses, scimitars, ......, and everything except dried food and dried meat.
Crazy, the scene can only be described as crazy.
The coalition soldiers who were ordered to disperse to both sides and let some of the enemy flee west have long been dumbfounded.
The Allied soldiers began to use bows and arrows to shoot at the Obstructionists, who had completely ignored the arrows above their heads. One by one, they rushed towards the gap, and the scene was as bloody and cruel as the end of the world. So much so that the coalition soldiers couldn't help lowering their bow arms. Confused and forgot to shoot arrows.
The crowd poured out of the gap like a stream of water, and after the gushing, it gradually began to show signs of dispersing, and once it dispersed, it was like a mud cow like a sea without a trace.
Yang Tingshi, who was already over the battlefield, did not hesitate to give the throwing order in the flag language.
This time the "bomb" was far smaller than the one thrown on the north bank of the Huang River, and that was the first time, and the gunpowder in the single bullet body was placed in 100 catties, so that after the bomb was thrown, the balloon was blown away by the strong wind caused by the explosion wave.
Having learned the lessons of the last time, the armory workshop made improvements to reduce the gunpowder in the shell by half, but the shell was double-layered, the inner shell was wrapped in gunpowder and tamped, the density was increased to increase the impact force, and a large number of prefabricated fragments were set between the inner shell and the shell to increase the lethality.
This not only greatly reduces the load pressure of the balloon, but also ensures the lethality of the "bomb" after the explosion.
After receiving the order, more than 100 balloons were thrown down in an instant, and these 100 or so balloons were thrown aimlessly without rules and directions, and the correctness was actually negligible.
But for the crowd all over the mountains, it is completely possible to ignore the hit rate, at this time, as long as it is dropped, it is all hit, not to mention the huge shock wave caused by the explosion and the shrapnel flying in all directions, taking away not only the stump and broken arm, but half or even the entire body, and even the body of hundreds of pounds of heavy war horses close to the explosion point was also thrown into the distance.
The explosion was not affected because the coalition forces were their own people, as long as the crowd around the bomb drop point, no matter who it was, was wiped out, after the smoke of the explosion dissipated, Luo revealed huge pits and flesh and blood all over the ground, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is eighteen layers of hell.
And the cruelty is that after the explosion, the panicked soldiers caused by panic caused by the chaos, at this time, the already terrified to the extreme, the coalition soldiers have forgotten that they were still the enemy just now, and the only consciousness left in their hearts is to escape from hell on this earth.
The crowd fled in all directions like birds and beasts.
At this time, the two 200,000 new armies of Yunyang and Ding Sijin were like a huge net, closing in the middle from all directions.
The ending was predictable, except that the coalition army unexpectedly suffered the disaster of the pond fish, but although the result was cruel, the khans of the two clans also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and they could not say their suffering.
Although Yun Yang's methods are a bit insidious, if it were not for the sudden attack of the Ming army, once the obstruction army at the gap broke out, it would not flee westward, but counterattacked to the periphery, and the coalition army would have been flanked from both the west and east, and the casualties would probably be greater than now.
Because of this, the khans of the two clans could only pretend to be generous, and knocked their teeth down into their stomachs with a bitter face.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the results obtained were stunned, more than 16,000 soldiers of the Obstruction Army died under the explosion, which was terrifying for Yang Tingshi, who had experience in throwing, and the lethality caused by 100 balloons and 100 soldiers would be so huge, and the casualties caused by the three hundred-pound "bombing" on the side of the Huang River were less than 1,000 people.
In fact, Yang Tingshi didn't know that there were many differences between the two, although the "fried dan" on the side of the Huang River weighed a lot, but the three "fried dan" fell too far apart, and the damage caused was single. (To be continued......)
