Chapter 346: The Burning Wasteland
The addition of the axe gunners completed the final blow to the cannon fodder who were already on the verge of collapse......
"It's been a long night!"
Wang Yue sighed.
By this time it was already nightfall.
The soldiers of the Changsheng Army who had just repelled the enemy were resting, while the militiamen went out to quickly clean up the battlefield and repair the defensive line, including of course cutting up the heads of the Jingguan people, and the dead bodies were simply thrown outside the defense line and lit up, which was also regarded as lighting.
In fact, at this moment, this wilderness is full of illuminated fires.
On Tower Mountain, in the phalanx of the Changsheng Army, in front of the formation, there are piles of raging fires, you must know that Peach Blossom Island is also a whaling base, and in recent years, countless whale souls have wandered over Peach Blossom Island, and even many of them are giant sperm whales......
In fact, the Bohai Mountain sperm whale was not uncommon in this era.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a record of large sperm whales stranding on the coast of Changli, and the like of small gray whales can often be seen, since it is a whaling base, the whale oil and blubber are not rare, and they are directly transported and ignited together with the felled trees.
The Jurchen army on the opposite side also lit countless bonfires.
On the wilderness under the cover of night, countless blazing bonfires, faintly visible figures between the bonfires, accompanied by the sparkling waves on one side of the sea, and the black mountains on the other side, as if endless, the night battle of nearly 100,000 armies makes this land like a monster awakened, wide-eyed and open-mouthed, waiting to devour countless lives.
The enemy on the opposite side reappeared with bows and arrows and shot at these militiamen.
This blocks the repair of the defensive line.
But the militia were all cotton armor, and their cavalry bows were difficult to penetrate from a distance, and Xiao Pu, who was on the flanks at the same time, led the Khitan cavalry to attack.
Their infantry did not come.
Yelunin still led the Khitan infantry to defend the city of Husengshan to prevent Muhan from attacking them instead, and they had a large amount of food there that could provide valuable supplies to Muhan. In short, in the interval between this Jurchen attack, the battle did not actually stop, and it is estimated that the battle will not stop tonight. Sticky Han must open this place and then go to the rescue of Yinshuke, if the latter is destroyed, it will be a real nerve-wracking for them, Yinshu is not those ragtag cannon fodder. At present, the Jurchen is the leader of the two major military groups, and the Sticky Han group is at the level of Lou Room and Yinshu.
If Yinshu is destroyed in Yanzhou, it will really cut off his arm.
And Yinshu Ke's subordinates are 10,000 Jurchen elites, they are not ragtag cannon fodder, they are real Jurchens, if they are destroyed, they will make all Jurchen departments cry.
Anyway, there are not many of them Jurchen young and strong!
"Great King, the Second Cavalry Army has arrived in Yanzhou, and the encirclement has been completed."
Zhang Rong said.
That is to say, there are already two armies under the city of Yanzhou.
In addition, there are Chi Zhanhui's subordinates, and his subordinates are almost 10,000 foot riders, and more than 40,000 people surround Yinshuke's 10,000, but the latter has a Yanzhou City in his hands.
I may not be able to win it tonight.
After all, all those who arrived were cavalry, and there was a lack of siege weapons.
"Tell them that they must solve the Yinshu Ke before it gets dark tomorrow, and let Wang De tell Chi Zhanhui that this battle must go all out, if Yanzhou is completely annihilated before dark, I will ensure that his Zhang family will be rich for generations." He is not without people, the population of the four states is 200,000, and there are always 40,000 young people, don't care how much he dies, I will compensate him tenfold for everything he loses! ”
Wang Yue said.
Cannon fodder!
He's got it too!
Chi Zhanhui's young and strong death is the best!
Wang Yue can indeed guarantee the wealth of their Zhang family for generations, but the population under their Zhang family is another matter, the land of these four states is mainly Jurchen, this is the mature Jurchen who surrendered during the early Liao State's conquest of the Jurchen tribe, and then moved to the Liaoxi Corridor in accordance with the principle of the Liao State that separates the various ethnic groups from moving to each other, and the more such people die, the better.
Let them attack Yanzhou.
Let the blood of these mature women and raw girls really drain each other in this small city.
"Add one more, the Liao army beheaded the Jurchen head will be rewarded with a hundred yuan, and the dead will be given a pension of fifty percent to their families, just say that I said it, if it is not honored afterwards, my king Yuetian will thunder and split. Those who ascend to Yanzhou first will be rewarded with 3,000 guan, given to him alive, and given to his family when they die. ”
Wang Yue then said.
Well, you can't just rely on Chi Chan Hui!
Chi Zhanhui really doesn't care about dying thousands of young people, as long as he can exchange for Wang Yue's favor, his wealth depends on hugging Wang Yue's thighs, not his subordinates.
But his subordinates may not be willing to work hard!
Who wouldn't fool people on the battlefield?
But with these rewards, it is estimated that these guys can attack frantically, after all, they are still very poor here, after Chi Zhanhui surrendered to Akuta in history, he only scavenged fifteen thousand stone millets in the land of Sizhou to flatter the latter. And now the price of millet here has always been one stone of copper coins, and the first level of decapitation is one hundred stones, almost the gross income of a family here for three years, why aren't these guys crazy?
What about the Jurchen elite of Yinshuke?
Who is not a Jurchen, what's wrong?
"The enemy is coming!"
Yue Fei said suddenly.
Wang Yue immediately raised his head and looked at the black reflected in the firelight in the distance.
Bow and arrow kidnappers and horses in retreat.
Behind them, the enemy infantry attacked again, but this time they launched shield wagons that were clearly in a hurry, and the main direction of attack changed to the left phalanx, and the cavalry formed a formation to stand guard opposite the right phalanx.
"It's a quick learner!"
Wang Yue said.
With his eyesight, he quickly saw the true face of those shield carts, which were actually sawn logs made of wheels, and shield walls lined up with logs were erected on wooden shelves, and then the death squad pushed the shield carts in front, and the back was obviously still an iron float. However, there were a lot fewer spearmen in the original, but the number of archers has increased significantly, which is to push the shield cart over to block the big shotgun, and then the archers play close shooting and then increase the armor assault, the previous shield really can't block the bullets, but the wooden wall of this shield cart can.
At least it should be.
After all, the big gun belongs to the short tube, and in fact, the power is not as good as the Furlong machine, that is, there are more large-caliber loaded bullets, but because the caliber is large and the muzzle velocity is also low, at least the large-sized shotgun should not be able to break the shield car.
Stone bullets can.
But the rate of fire of the big gun is also very scum.
Let's Qing this set may be useful.
"Trash!"
Wang Yue said disdainfully.
Indeed, this set is complete rubbish for him.
Our shield car in the Qing Dynasty works because of the scum of the infantry of the Ming army, as long as it hits it, it is easy to collapse, but the shield car is useless when it hits the Sichuan and Zhejiang army, and his subordinates are no worse than the Sichuan and Zhejiang army, and he also has special weapons......
"Pull Sa!"
Cheng Min, the commander of the Changsheng army, looked at the approaching shield cart with disdain, and evaluated the enemy with words that were different from the pronunciation of the King of Zhongshan but had the same meaning.
Well, this is the one who was described as fierce by Han Shizhong when he was young, and he had to avoid it, and after being tamed by the civil official system in his old age, he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, but he was added to the rank of knight and became a captain, and Cheng Min, who died in his eighties under the service of his eleven sons.
But now he's still young.
At this time, the forward of the shield cart had already reached the rejection belt, but they were obviously prepared, and the death squad that followed immediately rushed out, they were wearing triple armor, and it was difficult to walk, but their duty was not to charge, but to pull out the rejection horse and fill the trench, and clear an attack channel in front of the shield cart. However, this work is tantamount to suicide, because immediately after those big guns are replaced with large shotguns, aiming at them to spray flames, and the triple heavy armor cannot stop two or two shotguns.
No need to penetrate.
More than 70 grams, even if it collides at subsonic speed, it will be fatal!
The death squad without the protection of the shield car died in an instant, but they obviously had no way to retreat, these were not the previous Han army, but the Goryeo, their families were all in the hands of the Jurchens, and the Jurchens wanted them to use their lives to spread out an offensive channel, and they could only do so. They screamed and wailed in the barrage of shotguns, struggling to pull out the horses and fill the trenches as they fell, in fact it was more like filling them with their dead bodies, but fortunately the speed of fire of the big guns was limited, and the three-eyed guns and crossbows could not penetrate them, so they still had a chance.
And the soldiers of the Changsheng Army here just watched their death under the bombardment of the big guns.
In the end, they succeeded.
A passage twenty zhang wide was filled in, and before the remnants of the Goryeo death squad could withdraw, the shield carts that had been waiting for a long time rushed straight forward, because the passage was not wide, so the shield carts were almost densely packed with fish scales through this passage.
"Follow me!"
Cheng Whistle roared.
Immediately afterwards, he rushed out of formation with a special weapon.
Just as Cheng Min rushed out, another soldier followed, but he held a large shield in both hands to protect his sentry commander, and a torch was stuck in the shield.
And on either side of him, hundreds of soldiers of the same combination rushed out.
In the blink of an eye, they were standing in front of the formation, and then stopped at the same time two feet away from the spear forest.
Those shield soldiers drew their torches as quickly as they could and ignited the weapon in Cheng Min's hand, and at this time, the shield carts on the opposite side were less than five feet apart, and the crossbowmen behind the shield carts raised their crossbows and shot sharp arrows. Mu Yu's arrows pierced through the shield and hit their plate armor, and even javelinmen threw javelins, which were equally powerful, and even many soldiers were hit, but the rest ignored these attacks, and like Cheng Min, they carried the lit weapons in their hands and threw them at the shield cart with all their might.
One by one, these porcelain vases with flaming fuses made a spectacular arc in the night sky, swept past the front of the shield cart, and then smashed down one by one into the shield cart behind.
The next moment they turned into clusters of flames......
"Madamn, the No. 3 tank can't carry this, let alone a wooden shield car!"
Wang Yue said on Tashan.
Indeed, what shield cart can carry Molotov cocktails!
The shield carts crowded in the offensive passage turned into a sea of fire that illuminated the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
