Chapter 760: The Great Song Banner is blazing like fire
Ruan Wenxiong had all kinds of worries, but when Yang Jing appeared on this evil dragon, he was like Nong Chi and others, completely dispelling all the worries in his heart, because at some moments, he also thought that Yang Jing might really be an extraordinary person.
The sergeants all changed into light and sturdy rattan armor, and Nguyen Van Hung brought not only supplies, but also various experiences in jungle survival, and the sergeants suddenly felt that the journey was finally relaxed.
However, the Vanguard Legion and the brothers of the Shenhuo Battalion, under the leadership of Yang Jing, went out to Longyuan City again!
Because Annan did not have a deep pond and a high city, in terms of artillery, Yang Jing only brought a few dozen bantams, but it was enough to deter the enemy.
This bantam tiger was designed and manufactured by Yang Jing in imitation of the tiger squat cannon of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.
The firearms of the Ming Dynasty were already very mature, and the technical requirements were lower than those of modern weapons in later generations.
The volume of the tiger squat cannon is not large, the barrel is thick and short, and the overall shape is like a squatting tiger, so it is called the tiger squat cannon.
Don't look at the tiger squat cannon is thick and short, but the power is not small, not to mention that it can shoot hundreds of iron sand bullets every time, it also needs to be filled with solid bullets when shooting, increasing the chamber pressure, and it can be carried around lightly with a small tank, whether it is mobility or lethality, it is very good, and it has a very high cost performance.
With the evil Jiao under Yang Jing's seat, and these dozens of artillery, plus thousands of musketeers in the Shenhuo Battalion, where can this battle be defeated?
Ruan Wenxiong was also worried about the situation in Longyuan City, so he let Yang Jing's army rest for two days, in order for the soldiers to recover their combat strength as soon as possible, he, a miser, also took out a lot of family resources, and after making sufficient preparations, he led the army to march near Luke.
On this day, he finally arrived outside Longyuan City, but the scouts reported that the outer city had fallen, and the Mongols were attacking the inner city, and Nguyen Van Hung was also anxious!
Yang Jing sent hundreds of musketeers to sweep away all the Mongolian spies on the periphery!
These musketeers, led by the Annan Vine Armor Soldiers, are elusive, and what is shocking is that they take people's lives a hundred paces away, and they are extremely accurate!
The thrill of this long-range hunt also made the musketeers angry and confident, as if they controlled the life and death of other gods, which was simply the power of the gods!
The backward Annan Teng soldiers were completely convinced, and they also lost that the musketeers of the Great Song Dynasty came to help them, if they were enemies of the Great Song Dynasty, they were afraid that they would not even see what the enemy looked like, so they would go to see Lord Yama first!
Kublai Khan was also worried that reinforcements would suddenly come out, so he arranged a lot of scouts on the periphery, and in his opinion, whenever reinforcements arrived, scouts would definitely appear.
But no one expected that these musketeers were trained by Yang Jing in the way and standard of a sniper, and they didn't let the scouts escape back at all!
The musketeers swept over in all directions, and none of the Mongol scouts could escape!
If it were just the musketeers, the scouts might have been able to escape, as the musketeers were not familiar with the terrain.
But the Mongolian scouts are also unfamiliar with the terrain, but the musketeers have local guides who are familiar with the way, and these guides are elite scouts under Nguyen Van Hung, how can these Mongolian scouts escape!
Yang Jing then rode the evil Jiao and led the rear army to the outside of Longyuan City, where he heard the sound of cannons and fighting in the distance, and knew that the Mongols were attacking the city.
I was about to give the order, but I heard that someone had escaped!
Yang Jing came to the front to check, and saw Li Lin'an, the halberd chief who had escaped!
Yang Jing asked people to wake up Li Lin'an with cold water, the latter had exhausted his strength, and the whole person was in a state of prostration, and he thought that he was in a dream or hallucination, until he saw Ruan Wenxiong, he knew that he was awake, and the evil Jiao and the Great Song Divine General in front of him were also real!
He was already disheartened, but after seeing Yang Jing, his heart was full of mixed feelings and indescribable shock.
Yang Jing has been with Ge Changgeng and others for too long, and has experienced too many things, and he has read countless people and dare not say it, but his ability to observe words and emotions has also made a lot of progress, seeing that Li Lin'an is not chaotic, there is a temperament in his eyes that precipitates in his heart, knowing that he is a good character, and there is no way to deter him.
Li Lin'an saw Yang Jing's kind face, but the enemy was like a rock, and he was like Taiyue, only to know that this Great Song Dynasty was really talented, and such a young but white-headed Great Song Dynasty god general, whether it was temperament or courage, it was convincing from the heart.
He finally understood why his father wanted him to get out of Annan and go out into the outside world.
Yang Jing asked Ruan Wenxiong to take care of Li Lin'an, and was about to send a large army to attack the back road of the Mongols, but Li Lin'an was unwilling, he wanted to lead the way for Yang Jing's people, and he wanted to see the fall of the Mongols with his own eyes!
Yang Jing knew that he was a tenacious and unyielding person, so he did not stop him, and he had the heart to recruit, so he let him join the vanguard army.
This Annan was surrounded like an iron bucket, and only Li Lin'an could escape in the entire Longyuan City, such a character, if Yang Jing didn't accept it, he was really sorry for this luck!
Under the leadership of Li Lin'an, the musketeers killed all the scouts all the way, and finally entered the outer city, at this time they had begun to contact the outer forces of the Mongols!
The number of the Mongol army is very large, the inner city is not piled up at all, and the outer city is all their people, almost the entire outer city is regarded as a reserve base camp, there are new annexed troops, Han army, Dali and other plundered people, etc., there are about tens of thousands of people, bustling, crowded, all like ants moving, carrying the burden used in the siege.
Yang Jing let people erect the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, the golden drums sounded in unison, the momentum shook the sky, Kublai Khan used the Mongol army to attack the city as the vanguard, and the rear was dominated by the Han army.
When these Han troops saw the sudden appearance of the Great Song banner, they hurriedly gathered their strength and wanted to resist the sudden attack of the Great Song Dynasty!
The Mongol Han army consisted mainly of the Semu, Khitan, Jurchen, and some other ethnic minorities, plus a small number of elite Han Chinese in the north.
These Han troops are the main fighting force second only to the Mongolian pro-army, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
But Yang Jing didn't have much of an impression, saying that these Han troops were Mongolian pro-army, and Yang Jing didn't pay attention to them at all!
Countless Han troops charged, but the people of the Shenhuo Battalion were not in a hurry, they lined up in formation, and as soon as Yang Jing gave an order, they started a three-stage shooting!
Three-stage shooting is the most commonly used formation for early muskets, firing in the front and reloading in the rear, in order to achieve a seamless connection and make up for the gap in the time of reloading gunpowder.
But the musketeers of the Divine Fire Battalion used old sleeves, and they didn't need to reload gunpowder at all, because they used primer bullets!
It can also be seen from this that with such a short reload time, the three-stage shooting is still used, and the intensity of the firepower is terrifying!
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Gunfire erupted, guns spewed, smoke rose, bullets rained out, and the Mongol and Han armies fell in rows, like death descending, harvesting human lives in patches!
The Mongol Han army was scared stupid, the rattan soldiers of Annam were also stupid, the Zhuang barbarians were stupid, the forbidden army was also stupid, and even the Shenhuo Battalion's own brothers were also frightened by such large-scale killing!
They have been training for so long, and now they have finally entered the actual battle, and the excitement in their hearts quickly turned into endless shock!
They knew how powerful the musket was, but they never thought it would be so terrifying!
The Mongol Han army soon dropped hundreds of corpses and retreated to the inner city in a panic, and many people and new annexed troops had already been frightened, only to feel that they had never looked at the banner of the Great Song Dynasty so seriously!
At this time, the banner of the Great Song Dynasty is like the plaque of Lord Yama, so dazzling!
The Mongol pro-army, which was attacking the inner city, also noticed the unrest in the rear, but the siege was at the critical juncture, how could they give up?
However, at this time, Yang Jing's men had already rushed into the outer city, and dozens of bantams were unloaded from the chariot and bombarded the backs of the Mongolian pro-army!
Where is this war, it is clearly a massacre!
It has always been the Mongol Empire that slaughtered others, and how could they have ever been slaughtered, especially on the battlefield!
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The earth-shattering cannon sound resounded throughout the four fields, because the distance between the outer city and the inner city was too close, and Yang Jing's artillery array was covered by broken walls and ruins, and the close bombardment made the Mongolian besieging army disperse quickly!
Kublai Khan's Chinese army was near the inner city gate, and when he heard the sound of cannons, the commander suddenly tightened his heart and looked back, but he saw that his army was already in chaos, and he couldn't concentrate on attacking the city at all!
"What's wrong!"
Kublai Khan was furious, and the scouts around him hurried to investigate, and after a while, he returned and reported to Kublai Khan.
"The army of the Southern Dynasty is sneaking up on our rear army, they are using powerful artillery, and our siege soldiers have suffered heavy losses, and they are already in a state of collapse!"
Kublai Khan was shocked, he didn't expect that the other side would have artillery, and he didn't expect the elite Mongol army to be crushed with one blow!
"How could Annan have such powerful artillery!"
"It's not Annan, it's Da Song!"
"The Great Song Dynasty really sent troops!" Kublai Khan should have thought that the Great Song Dynasty would send troops, but how could the Great Song Dynasty come with artillery!
"Who's leading the troops?"
"Judging from the banner, it is Yang Jing, the coach of the Southern Expedition, who is here in person!"
"Yang Jing!"
Kublai Khan's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but recall a very distant memory, as early as when Dali, when he was still under Guiyou, he almost took Dali, at that time, in the Longguan, it was not Yang Jing and Liu Han, blocking the Mongols' footsteps to conquer Dali!
"It turned out to be him! Where did he get the artillery!" Kublai Khan didn't expect that in just two or three years, Yang Jing had become the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army of the Great Song Dynasty!
Kublai Khan was hesitating, but the cannon behind him became sharper and sharper, and the chaotic Mongol army had begun to attack the Chinese army!
"Shrink the formation, give up the siege!"
Kublai Khan made a decision immediately, but after the military order was issued, he did not take action for a long time, and the Chinese army began to be in chaos!
Kublai Khan sat on top of the high chariot, looking from afar at this time, but seeing that his army had already become a mess, the artillery fire was constantly rising into the sky, and the smoke was dispersed, and he couldn't see it clearly, but from the sound of the cannons, he could already hear the prelude to defeat!
"Retreat! Order! Retreat!"
Kublai Khan knew that if he did not stabilize his position in time for a sudden attack, not only would the siege fail, but it would cause great casualties!
However, unexpectedly, the Mongol army at this time could not even carry out the military order, and on the front line that Kublai Khan could not see, the Mongol army was crushed by artillery and muskets, and even escape became a luxury!
At this time, Nguyen Van Hung raised the banner, the defenders of Annam in the inner city were about to open the city to fight, if the inside should be combined with the outside, Kublai Khan would definitely be defeated!
