Chapter 368: The butcher is afraid of the gods
There was another violent sound, the fire flashed, and a Jurchen warrior fell to the ground, blood flowing, obviously unable to survive.
Wan Yanchang was stunned, not knowing what was going on.
I just know that that black hole has an extremely long range, as long as the fire flashes and makes a violent sound, a Jurchen general or warrior will die.
"Bang!" There was a violent sound, the fire flashed, and a war horse fell to the ground, even with the Jurchen cavalry, and then a quick knife flashed, and the head was gone.
One after another, some Jurchen soldiers either fell to the ground or were seriously injured.
Most of them are Jurchen centurions, thousands, or Jurchen warriors. These were the backbone of the Jurchen army, and with the mass casualties of these people, the situation was reversed.
Originally, the two sides fought hard, evenly matched, but with the appearance of these black holes, one by one the generals of the Jin Army were shot and killed, or seriously injured, the situation was tilted, and the battle situation was tilted towards the Song army.
In the end, the army was defeated, the Jin army was defeated, ran away in panic, fled to the east, and the Song army covered all the way and gained countless gains.
In this battle, the Song army was victorious, the Jin army lost more than 10,000 casualties, more than 5,000 were captured, and only more than 10,000 fled. And the war horses captured this time are even more burdensome.
Another big victory.
It's just that at this moment, Li Pojun was sitting on the ground panting, his sweat had already soaked his armor, his face was flushed, and his arms were a little trembling, all of which were tired from fighting.
After a big battle, Li Pojun had a feeling of being reincarnated, as if he had entered hell and come back.
"Finally victory!"
Li Pojun sighed. Before the war, the morale was soaring, and it seemed that the victory was in hand. It seems that between Jin Jun's talk and laughter, the ashes are gone, and it seems that Jin Jun is a local chicken and a dog. This is more of a pretend, more to motivate the soldiers.
In fact, he has no bottom in this battle.
From Hedong, Li Pojun fought fiercely with the Jin army and was extremely familiar with the Jin army. This battle is more of an adventure, more of a gamble, and there are only five layers of chance of winning!
It's just that even if there are five layers, he has a fight.
Because he went out of the city to ambush the Jin army. There will be five tiers of odds; But if you stick to Luoyang, you don't even have a chance of winning.
went out of the city to ambush the Jin army, the morale was high, and it was calculated or unintentional, and it was prepared in many ways. There are still five layers of odds;
Defend Luoyang and rely on Luoyang's defense. It is indeed able to hold on for a while. It's just that not long after, the Jin army concentrated its main force from the east and west, and it was strange that it could hold it?
Moreover, before the expedition, the emperor said that this battle was not for the purpose of conquering the city and recovering the homeland. Instead, it focuses on military training to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Song army.
If he defends Luoyang, the emperor will not send reinforcements. Because the grain and grass are difficult to transport, the loss is too great; It is also necessary to defend Xiangyang with heavy troops. There was no way to draw troops to reinforce Luoyang, once the army rescued Luoyang, resulting in the emptiness of Xiangyang's troops and the fall of Xiangyang, I couldn't cry if I wanted to cry at that time.
In short, if he defends Luoyang, he will only be rescued by no reinforcements, fighting alone, relying on 30,000 people, plus the people of Luoyang, is it strange that he can defend Luoyang?
The odds of winning on the first floor are a bit high, and there should be zero chance of winning!
Because I can't hold it, I simply don't defend it!
From beginning to end, Li Pojun never wanted to defend Luoyang, but more about how to eliminate the Jin army in the movement.
Fortunately, despite all the difficulties, he won in the end.
"Meet the General!"
"Thank you a few more this time, if it weren't for you sniping the generals of the Jin Army, this battle would have been really mysterious!" Li Pojun said happily.
"This is what I should do for the sniper team!" A Song will not be arrogant or humble.
"The emperor is really clever, he actually expected these in advance!" Li Pojun was a little impressed with admiration.
Before setting out on the expedition, the emperor asked him about the marching plan, the method of combat, etc., and afterwards handed him a small team, at most a hundred people, this squad is called the sniper squad.
This squad is responsible for sniping the generals and brave soldiers of the Golden Army!
At first, he didn't care, but until this battle, this team played an important role, successfully sniping some middle and low-level generals of the Jin Army, and successfully turned the tide of the battle.
The brilliance of the results made him impressed, and even marveled at whether the emperor expected this scene.
As soon as he thought of the muzzle of the black hole, the firelight flashed, and Li Pojun felt a chill in his heart, hard work is not an enemy.
…………
Actually, this wronged Zhao Pu!
Zhao Puke doesn't have the kind of magic of Zhuge God, he doesn't know how to count plum blossoms, he doesn't know how to count Ziwei Doushu, he doesn't know Qimen Dunjia, he just likes to practice and likes to pour gunpowder weapons.
Since becoming the emperor, Zhao Pu began to pour gunpowder weapons.
There is no way, the army of the Song Dynasty is too wasteful, and it is not effective to fight, so it can only be continuously improved to start from "miraculous skills" to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.
And in practice, the gunpowder weapons that are drummed out are very ineffective, who let Zhao Pu just be a liberal arts student, he has not played in the military industry, it is okay to make some low-level gunpowder weapons, and it is too far to make some high-end weapons.
However, due to the level of productivity, the quality of steel and gunpowder are not up to standard, resulting in high failure rate, waste products, high energy and low efficiency.
The equipment of small troops is okay, but the equipment of large units is not cost-effective at all.
As a result, Zhao Pu could only concentrate on developing some cheap gunpowder weapons, such as mines, such as conscienceless cannons, and such as the "Song Dynasty version of the rifle" at this time.
rifling, which gives the warhead the ability to rotate, so that the warhead can still maintain the established direction after being discharged, and the shooting accuracy is improved.
Mini shells, on the other hand, use tail expansion soft plugs for longer firing distances.
But when the two are combined, the power of the explosion is terrifying, and it is the best weapon to snipe the enemy general.
The manufacture of the Song Dynasty version of the rifle was theoretically established, and it was rare to be a manufacturing industry. After all, there were no professional processing machines and skilled workers at this time, and the quality of steel and gunpowder was not up to par, which almost made this plan a utopian.
At this time, some old craftsmen appeared, using the most primitive. The most old-fashioned method is to carve out the rifling step by step.
Thus the first rifle of the Song Dynasty was born.
The shortcomings are still obvious, time-consuming and labor-intensive, poor quality, cumbersome, only a hundred rounds are fired, and they are scrapped.
In combat, one person is required to launch, and two people are responsible for the addition.
At this time, the rifle could not be used on a large scale on the battlefield. It can only play the role of a sniper, specializing in shooting those centurions, thousands, and the most heroic Jurchen warriors of the Jin army.
These snipers are not required to have no shots, and they will not hit the right eye if they hit the left eye. It is enough to shoot a target with men and horses within 400 meters.
The result is on the battlefield. Some Golden Army Centurions. Commander, either he was hit by his horse or his body.
Compared to bows and arrows, these mini bullets are more powerful.
Some of the warriors of the Golden Army were able to use their weapons to shoot the arrows, but they could not dispel the Minnie bullets; The warriors of the Golden Army were shot by arrows, and they could still fight one side fiercely. But being shot by Mini is a serious injury at least and fatal at worst.
In this battle, rifles played a huge role. At the moment of stalemate between the two armies, the tide of the battle was reversed in one fell swoop, resulting in a great defeat of the Jin army.
……
At this time, on the path, more than 10,000 golden troops were running away in embarrassment, like lost dogs, like rats in fear.
In this battle, the Jin army was defeated.
In the past battles, the Jin army also lost battles, but most of them were defeated in siege battles. There is nothing to be ashamed of, the Jin army itself is not good at attacking cities, and there is nothing to be ashamed of if it fails.
But this time it was defeated, and it was defeated in the plain field battle that the Jin army was proud of.
On the plains, the Jin army is invincible, not afraid of any strong enemy, the Liao army, the Western Xia army, and the Western army are all under the iron cavalry of the Jin army, trembling.
If you want to defeat the Jin army, you can only win by using three times or five times the number of troops and using group fighting tactics.
The same forces were contested, and it was a field battle on the plains, and the cavalry of the Jin army was not afraid of any enemy.
It's just that this time it was defeated, and it turned out to be defeated!
The Jurchens were less than 10,000, full of 10,000 invincible, and they were defeated at this moment, defeated by the same number of Song troops in the field!
All the Jin Jun, lost their souls, like the walking dead, don't believe it's true!
Wan Yanchang's expression was sluggish, a little trance-like, and he couldn't figure out why, but he kept recalling the terrible scene.
"Damn, what kind of weapon is that!"
"The muzzle of the black hole, as soon as the fire flashed, the war horse bled and died!"
"What's that!"
"It can't be a weapon of the gods!"
At this time, a crazy thought rose in Wan Yanchang's heart, and his heart was trembling.
The thoughts of ghosts and gods, like poisonous snakes, take root in the heart, growing bigger and bigger, and piercing deeper and deeper.
This is the Great Song Dynasty, but there is no popular science education, but it is an era when feudal superstition is popular.
Wan Yanchang is a Jurchen general, who may not be as brave and invincible as Zong Han and Zong Wang, but he is also the number one among the famous generals of the Jin Army.
Wan Yanchang is irritable and cruel, he is not afraid of any strong enemy, and he slaughters the Song people without blinking his eyelids, but he also has something to fear.
Wan Yanchang is afraid of the gods!
Wan Yanchang is illiterate, semi-literate, not afraid of death, but afraid of gods.
In fact, the illiterate are afraid of the gods, and the butchers are even more afraid of the gods.
Just like Genghis Khan, who was not afraid of any strong enemy, slashed and killed hundreds of thousands of people without blinking an eyelid; But he was fooled by the old way of Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen Sect, and fell down at the feet of the Sanqing Emperor with all his heart.
Wan Yanchang himself was not afraid of any strong enemy, but he trembled in front of the void gods.
This defeat was a defeat, especially the defeat of the Song army's black hole in the weapon.
Everything is incomprehensible and ultimately comes down to the gods.
"Damn, could it be that the gods also bless the Great Song!" Wan Yanchang couldn't help but curse, fearful and worried.
Thinking that the Song army has repeatedly defeated battles, it just can't be destroyed;
Thinking of the breakthrough of Xiangyang, when he was about to take the opportunity to sweep the south of the Yangtze River, a heavy snowfall forced the Jin army to retreat;
I also thought that the emperors of the Song Dynasty were mostly wastes, but this emperor was outstanding in talent, which was very different from ordinary people;
I thought of it again, and the Song people mostly said that when the emperor was born, the white birds worshipped, the flowers bloomed, and Ziwei shined.
One thought after another flashed quickly, and Wan Yanchang became even more panicked. (To be continued......)
