As soon as Yan Yanying saw that his cannon fired, the artillery fire of the Song army suddenly stopped, and the cavalry immediately retreated, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the Jin soldiers on the sand beam cheered even more. For many years, countless Jurchens died under the fire of the Song army, and those who experienced those battles often woke up in nightmares after many years, in the overwhelming and deafening explosions, the city walls and houses were destroyed, and the people and horses instantly became fragmented, which became the haze that can never be erased from their hearts, and today they finally have artillery and can compete with the Song army.

But the excitement of the Jurchens did not last long, the artillery of the Song army soon began to counterattack, their artillery fire was fierce and fast, their own side was in a hurry in the counterattack, and the other side fired three artillery but could not shoot a single shot, and the accuracy was too poor, I don't know where the shells flew, and they couldn't suppress the Song army's artillery at all, and their own gunners were killed and wounded, showing the original face of the silver-like wax gun head.

In fact, the artillery of the Jin Army, not to mention in Zhao Ta's eyes, even those newly-known artillery recruits would feel that it was scrap iron that should be returned to the furnace, and it was far less strict than Zheng Ping imagined, and they just overreacted out of caution. First of all, the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty also went through two stages of casting with bronze and casting with iron in the process of manufacturing and use, and the use of copper was because Zhao Ta thought that the quality of iron was too poor to withstand the huge pressure generated by the explosion of gunpowder.

The Great Song Dynasty was like this, not to mention the Jurchens who had just entered the slave society from the primitive society, and the iron-making and casting techniques they mastered were still learned from the craftsmen who were captured by the Khitan and the Great Song Dynasty. And he made great strides and directly cast the cannon with iron, and the difficulties encountered can be imagined. They first chose a breech gun with a seemingly simple craftsmanship as a model for imitation. In order to allow the inferior iron to withstand the pressure generated by the explosion of gunpowder, the thickness of the barrel had to be increased, which made the barrel thicker. In fact, the caliber is small, and the hatchback is not at all proportional.

After countless trial productions, the cannon was barely made, but because they did not understand the mystery of gunpowder, they could not make a suitable ratio of gunpowder, so the range of the gun was very short. The only way to increase the range is to increase the charge, so that the sound of the cannon can not withstand the increased pressure, and it is necessary to increase the wall thickness to ensure that the cannon will not explode, so in the end it is a stupid and stupid guy. It has the appearance of a bluffer. In fact, the power is very limited, only seven catties of solid bullets can be fired, and the range is only about one hundred and fifty steps, today is the advantage in height, barely reaching two hundred steps, but it also frightened the old oilmen of the Song army.

There is no precedent for the Jin army to use this new type of weapon, artillery, and the rules and regulations are completely figured out by the blind man himself, and there are not only joys and sorrows, but also blood and lives at the price. But because the artillery they were equipped with was too large. A cannon requires a team of fifty soldiers to operate, of course, mainly as coolies, in the position to deploy, adjust the gun position, change the angle of fire need everyone to go into battle, otherwise it can't be moved!

To be honest, the artillery equipped by the Jin army is really not suitable for fighting with the army. It is more reliable as a fixed fire support platform. On the other hand, as the main force of the army's operations, the artillery battalions are equipped with light artillery of 4 to 500 catties, and generally adopt a three-three establishment, with one battalion having jurisdiction over three capitals. One has three teams, and one team has three groups. One battalion operates one gun, and one artillery battalion has 27 guns of various types. A few people can adjust the gun position with the mechanical mechanism on the gun mount. Changing the direction and angle of the shot, it is much faster than the reaction speed of the Jin army.

In the past, the various defects of the Jin army's artillery corps in training may be tolerable, but when the two armies face each other, they become a fatal dead end. The breech gun was originally more cumbersome to operate, and the breech had to be cleaned after a shot to extinguish the sparks and gunpowder residues in it, and then it could be recharged. And after several successive launches, it also needs to be cooled down, otherwise there is a danger of exploding. However, their guns were heavy, and the soil on the sand beams was loose, and they would be displaced after each fire under the action of recoil, which required readjustment of the gun positions and firing angles, which increased the workload.

The Song army used rapid-fire guns to suppress the enemy's firepower, this kind of cannon uses pre-loaded cartridges, after firing, only need to retreat the old one, replace it with a new one, and the gun body has a skylight for loading cartridges, good ventilation and heat dissipation, continuous firing does not need to cool down for a long time, which makes it occupy an advantage in the rate of fire in the counter-fire. At the same time, after the replacement of new artillery, the firing range has also increased, and even the upward fire can reach more than 200 steps. Unfortunately, the artillery of the Jin army was like an iron lump, and it was difficult to destroy it with a direct hit, and it could only be suppressed by destroying its artillery mounts and positions.

At the same time, the Song army's mortar also began to shoot, although it is also a kind of breech artillery, but its caliber is large and the barrel is short, the operation is easier than the Jin army's long-barreled artillery, the rate of fire is not inferior to it, and it can fire a variety of shells. The flowering bullets fired now are more powerful with a new type of gunpowder, and they can greatly kill and injure combatants when they explode a large area, and the slower speed can be forgiven......

After several rounds of exchange of fire between the artillery forces of the two sides, the artillery of the Jin army has felt overwhelmed, the artillery mounts of several guns were destroyed, and they refused to get up on the ground, and the soldiers who operated the artillery also suffered a lot of casualties, and the density of the firepower was greatly reduced, while the Song army became more and more courageous, and the shells were overwhelmingly smashed on their positions, which made the golden artillery who went into battle for the first time all frightened, but under the strict orders of the officers, they could only continue to shoot the artillery, but the speed was getting slower and slower.

"Why did the artillery stop?" Wan Yan Yanying was expecting to be able to rely on his artillery army to deal a heavy blow to the Song army, but he didn't want to be equally unbearable, but he heard the sound of his own artillery gradually thinning out, and asked loudly.

"All the troops, our artillery can't be fired continuously, we need to stop for a moment to cool down before firing again." Misandantu hurriedly explained.

"Then can you just wait there for the enemy to rush up, don't stop, shoot at the enemy infantry army!" Seeing that the Song army's infantry had launched an attack, the crossbowmen on the slope were powerless to stop the dense rain of bullets fired by the Song army's machine guns and bead guns, and before the enemy could enter the range of the bow and arrow, he was furious, but in his heart he secretly cursed that his artillery could not beat the opponent's artillery, and there was no problem in fighting the infantry army. But Yan Yanying forgot that he was memorizing the words, and as soon as he turned around, there was a big explosion in the artillery position under his feet.

Otherwise, the layman could not command the insider, Wan Yan Yanying continued to shell despite the strict order of overheating the gun body, and as a result, the gunpowder was ignited by the hot gun body as soon as it was loaded into the gun chamber, and an explosion accident occurred. The violent explosion not only destroyed the artillery, but also harmed the gunners who operated the guns, igniting the gunpowder that had been placed aside, overturning all the guns in the adjacent positions, and almost all of the soldiers were killed or wounded.

"A pile of waste...... Wan Yan Yanying looked at the twisted artillery on the artillery position, the gunners who fled in all directions, and the position burned into a sea of fire, and scolded with a pale face.

Seeing that the artillery could not be pointed, and the infantry of the Song army had broken through the forward position and was advancing towards the top of the beam, opening a breakthrough with a width of 100 steps, he urgently ordered the cavalry on standby to launch a counterattack to suppress the infantry of the Song army. But the artillery of the Song army did not agree, their artillery fire extended forward, concentrated fire on the impact surface, and opened a barrage, blowing up the flesh and blood of the Golden Cavalry who tried to break through, covering their infantry to continue the impact.

The infantry of the Song army, which was supported by fire, quickly advanced and broke into the enemy artillery position, and the artillerymen, who had been nervous by the explosion, saw that the Song army had no power to resist when they killed them, and they did not arrange a guard force on the position. The soldiers of the Song army clearly knew that the cannon was easy to make, but it was difficult to train the soldiers, because the gunners of the Great Song Dynasty were carefully selected, not only clever, but also literate, not who wanted to be able to be. So they were killing the gunners, and the golden artillerymen had nothing but the stick in their hands to brush the barrel, so they could only abandon the guns and flee.

"Hussar attack!" When Zheng Ping saw the signal flares rising in the air, he knew that the enemy's artillery position had fallen into his hands, and ordered.

"Great Song, mighty!"

"Majesty, mighty!" The hussars finally waited for the order to attack, they quickly lined up forward, the artillery seized the time to fire the last round of artillery fire, disrupted the enemy's formation, and then quickly collected the artillery and withdrew to make way for the cavalry. And this qiē was fortunately not seen by Wan Yan Yanying, otherwise he would have been half angry by his own artillery.

As the hussars entered the battle, their overwhelming charge made the Jin army front without artillery cover vulnerable, the rolling iron hooves crushed Yan Yanying's sweet dream, and the long cavalry pierced the last confidence of the Jin army. When the hussars rushed to the top of the beam and poured down from above to the river beach like a torrent, the Jin army brigade waiting to cross the river suddenly fell into a panic, and could no longer maintain their composure.

"It's over, it's all over!" Wanyan Yanying was helped on his horse by several cronies and generals at the last moment, and he opened a bloody road and went to the pontoon bridge, he looked back at his wolf and fled under the firelight, and cried on his back...... (To be continued......)
