Chapter 472: It's Late

The motorwheel was 'invented' by Zhao Tan during his expedition to Western Xia, and it was actually a combination of a machine gun and a two-wheeled light carriage at first, which was used to disrupt the enemy's formation before charging into battle. In the actual battle, we found that after such a combination, it not only solved the problem of insufficient support firepower of the dragoons when charging into battle, but also made this kind of heavy weapon keep up with the marching speed of the dragoons, which was deeply liked by various departments.

Now the dragoon brigade is equipped with a wheeled vehicle of the fourth generation, which is more suitable for the requirements of actual combat. The carriage was changed from two wheels to four wheels in the past, pulled by two horses, the carriage was lowered, the shock absorption system was installed, the wheel diameter of the wheels was increased, the wheelbase was lengthened, and the passability and stability of the car were increased, which solved the problem that the two-wheeled vehicles were moving in the past, and the carriage was undulating and could not be aimed. At the same time, the area of the compartment was expanded, which made it possible to carry more ammunition for the occupants with increased comfort.

In order to protect the horses and crew, the height of the carriage was increased, and a roof was added, and the exterior was wrapped in iron sheets to defend against the enemy's crossbow and projectile fire, and the horses were also equipped with iron armor to protect them from the enemy. Then there was the gun carriage that was improved, so that the machine gun could freely adjust the direction of fire, fire from multiple angles, and the flexibility was greatly increased, allowing it to provide effective fire support when accompanying the cavalry on the march.

After the military exercise, Zheng Ping analyzed that his failure was mainly due to the fact that the artillery was knocked out by the emperor at the beginning of the attack, and after losing the heavy fire support, they did not seem to be able to fight, and suffered heavy losses in the blind attack, but they were not able to give full play to the power of the machine gun. After learning from the pain, the Krüpt army began to study how to use the existing weapons in their hands to defeat the enemy without artillery support, but they did not expect that today there was an opportunity to test......

Zheng Ping gathered the wheelwheels of the various units of the Krup Army. When the two armies began to charge, they lay in the middle of the dragoon army, and waited for the enemy to launch before ordering them to strike out suddenly. After the cavalry brigade launched a charge. Even well-trained troops are difficult to stop, otherwise it will cause congestion before and after. Trampling on each other. Therefore, the cavalry charge is an arrow shot, and once it is launched, there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and it has to move forward bravely, and there is no turning back.

The motorwheel convoy that rushed to the battlefield kept a distance of about 20 paces in pairs, and fired at the Jin Army Tiefutu by means of one-sided shooting, and the Jin Army Tiefutu, who was speeding up the formation, was suddenly hit and was unable to prevent being beaten, and fell off their horses one after another, and the companions who were involved in each other were crooked to the ground, while the companions behind them stepped on them mercilessly, still maintaining the formation. The Song army's array continued to attack, while the Song army's wheeled vehicles still maintained their speed, shooting at the galloping Jin army from south to north.

The wheeled car is like a moving point of fire, in the Jin army's charging route to play a line of fire, although the skin of the Tiefutu has become thicker, the weapons have become longer, but under the heavy fire of the machine gun, everything has become slag, no matter how long the knife and gun are, he can't touch the Song army a hundred steps away. But even so, Wanyan Yulie was still urging the army to charge, and he knew that this was the last chance. Once they retreated, the cavalry of the Song army would rush up like a tide, breaking down their weak defensive line, and it would be difficult to organize a new defensive line.

The suicidal assault of the moths fighting the flames of the remnants of the Yan Dynasty struggled forward after paying a great price, and the neat line of impact had become uneven. It's not a formation anymore, and the speed inevitably slows down. At this time, the Song army dragoons accelerated their impact speed under the fire of the motorcycle. The two armies continued to approach, and the wheel convoy that had hit the Jin Army Tiefutu again reduced its room for maneuver and withdrew from the flanks.

But at this time, the Jin Army's Tiefutu formation had become very weak. It became a sieve that leaked everywhere, and the wings were not covered by the usual light horses. It also lost the speed that was most important when the cavalry charged, and the impact was greatly reduced. Like the end of a strong crossbow. When the forwards of the two armies collided together, Tiefutu had become a foundationless iron tower, easily shaken by the dragoons, and the formation had collapsed after two waves of impact.

The two armies of Dragon Wing and Lion Wing, which attacked from both flanks, also broke through the weak defense line of the Jin Army's archers and cavalry and entered the circle. Although the defense line was breached, Wanyan Yulie was still fighting with all his might, trying his best to block the waves of incoming Song troops, until the long knife broke, the war horse under the crotch fell, and the handsome flag fell, trampled by countless iron hooves, and merged with the soil on the grassland. Seeing that the blocking line was easily broken by the Song army, how could the Jin army, who were gathered by the river and preparing to cross the river, be calm, and threw themselves into the arms of the Duck River without hesitation.

When he wanted to build another defensive line, he found that the troops were completely out of control, and no one obeyed the order, whether it was an officer or a soldier, they wanted to cross the river as soon as possible. His own soldiers found that the momentum was not right, and fought a bloody way to escort him down the river in the rout. And the cavalry of the Song army had already crossed the earthen beam and rushed to the river beach......

This one-sided massacre continued until late at night, and countless Jin soldiers were killed on the banks of the Duck River. The next day, it was found that the newly civilized river had turned pink, and countless corpses of men and horses were floating downstream with the ups and downs of the current. Several pontoon bridges have been erected on the river, and the Song army brigade crossed the Yazi River into the grassland and went deep into the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom. At this point, all the areas under the jurisdiction of the Right Marshal's Mansion of the Jin State were lost, almost all the defenders were annihilated, the northwest gate was opened, and the Shangjing Huining Mansion was already under the attack front of the Song army.

The news was transmitted back to the capital, the government and the opposition were shaken, and Wanyan urgently recruited the ministers to discuss the affairs of the court, but the hall that was lively like a vegetable market on weekdays was silent today, and everyone lowered their heads and didn't know what to calculate. The change of the battle situation was too fast, the southern road of the Song army was like a bamboo, and it was easy to break through the boundary trench, and the supervising army of the Zuo Shuaifu scattered and surrendered to the Song Dynasty, leading the army directly to the city of Jinzhou, and now it is in danger. On the Liaoyang side, the Song army's naval division has appeared at the mouth of the Liao River, of course they are not there to play, with the current momentum of the Song army, I am afraid that Liaoyang City will be difficult to stop their troops.

"Taishi, the defeat of Fusan Zhongyi, the loss of 100,000 soldiers, and the loss of the northwest defense line. And the war situation in the south is not optimistic, Liaoyang has lost the code and the door is open, do you have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy? "Maybe Wan Yan didn't drink much wine today, and his mind was still clear, and seeing that everyone didn't speak, he asked Wushu Dao first.

"Your Majesty, the battle situation is developing too fast, and Weichen hasn't thought of it for a while." Wushu shook his head slightly and said.

"Taishi, can you propose peace to the Southern Dynasty?" Seeing this, Wan Yan thought about it and said.

"Alas, it's late!" Wushu sighed and said...... (To be continued......)
