Human premonitions are sometimes wonderful.

At a distance of six hundred paces, Yelimondo survived the artillery bombardment of the Song army unscathed.

Why!

The artillery range of the Song army could not do such a long distance.

Actually, this is not the reason, if the muzzle elevation angle is right, it should be able to barely hit the shell in front of the eyes of the wild Limondo. But if you do this, it will affect the next shot. For the artillery of the Song Army, whose operation is still in the ignorant stage, adjusting the muzzle elevation angle requires the blessing of experience, and their artillery does not have this function, and needs to pad bricks, which tests the experience of the soldiers. As for theoretical knowledge, don't count on it, trigonometry is a heavenly book, so that most of the Song Jun who have difficulty even writing their own names to learn, it is more difficult than death, it is simply better to live than to die, and in the end, it will definitely not be able to learn.

Three hundred paces.

According to the means of attack of the light cavalry, this distance is the distance at which the horses begin to accelerate.

The artillery of the Song army still did not move.

This caused a hallucination in Yelimondo's heart, could it be that he really guessed correctly?

But in his heart, Ye Limondo was very panicked for no reason, and after the Song army fired the cannonball, he did not pull the artillery away, but after the artillery was violently operated, he held a torch and waited for the arrival of the party cavalry. Even though Nolimondo didn't know what a cannon was, after seeing the lethality of the artillery, he always felt a nervousness when he was pointed at the muzzle. He carefully flicked the reins, allowing the horse to move a few positions as it ran, an inadvertent move that saved him from the bloodshed.

According to the previous attack distance of the Song army on the Iron Harrier, three hundred paces, which is the distance at which the first wave of artillery bombardment was launched. But in the face of him, the Song army did not attack. Could it be that Song Jun's new weapon really can't be used?

He knew there that the attack range of a scattered bullet was completely different from that of a solid bullet. Thanks to the experience of the artillery of the Battle of the Valley in actual combat, the attack distance of 300 steps is not ideal for the artillery scattershell killing.

One hundred and fifty steps!

The party cavalry finally burst out at all speed, and a shout from heaven and earth roared and rolled like an avalanche.

And this distance is also the most ideal distance for a scattershot attack.

Nian Xi decisively gave the order to ignite.

Rumble.

Boom –

Shotshots don't sound as loud as solid shots, but the fire and smoke are the same. Luckily, Nolimondo buried his head in the back of the horse's neck, slumping his whole body to dodge as best he could. While scolding Song Jun for being shameless in his heart, he also secretly prayed that he would not be hit, not to be hit...... The experience of winning the cannon and winning the lottery is too poor.

And since the artillery appeared on the battlefield, the first opponent was the very difficult Iron Harrier. But even the Iron Harrier, who was once invincible on the battlefield in the minds of the party members, was beaten by the new weapons of the Song army and lost his temper.

The projectile that attacked the iron harrier, Ye Limondo has also seen it, and it is very heavy and pressing. For heavy cavalry like the Iron Harrier, protection is its most important tool. Arrows flew and bounced off; The sword slashed over, but it was useless; But if the mace comes over, even a heavy cavalryman like the Iron Harrier can't look at it.

This is the destructive power of heavy weapons.

On the surface, the wound could not be found, at most it was a bruise caused by a bruise. But the bones and internal organs of the body can be injured. On the battlefield, minor injuries are not terrible, knife wounds, arrow wounds are not terrible, as long as the armor is neat, and then wear a close-fitting silk underwear, many battlefield injuries can be reduced to a minimum.

But in the face of heavy weapons, it is useless at all. Serious injuries to the internal organs will die, in fact, it is bleeding from the internal organs, which is a fatal injury that the gods can't save.

Herod

The sorrowful cry of the war horse made Wild Limondo's heart sink, as if an unlucky person had been tricked. But the voices in your ears are too frequent, aren't they? Especially the dull sound of the war horse falling to the ground, which made him wonder for a while, how could he lose so much?

If most of the losses suffered by the Iron Harrier were caused by tactics and actions, in the opinion of Ye Limondo, the damage of the new weapons of the Song army was not enough to cause his elite light cavalry to suffer a large number of casualties, which is why he was willing to lead the charge. A cannon can only fire one projectile, and although this weapon is powerful, even if all the guns hit the target, how many can there be?

There are so many new weapons for the Song army, and the number is no more than a hundred.

A maximum of a hundred battle losses, a loss that Yelimondo was willing to bear.

"Quick, pull back the artillery and make room for the infantry!"

As soon as the cannon was fired, Nian Xi pulled out his throat and ordered loudly, in fact, without his order, the artillerymen had long known to pull the artillery and hide behind the infantry.

The artillery was fierce at the moment of fire, and the rest of the time it was salted fish. The weakest class on the battlefield can bully them at will.

Just after the artillery had returned their artillery to the defensive line, Yelimondo's cavalry had already arrived. But when he struggled to poke the spear out of his hand, he found that his side seemed to have a lot less men and horses, and if it weren't for the help of the pro-army, he might have fallen into this charge.

"General, let's go!"

After the guard finished shouting, he threw his whole body at Song Jun. This also bought time for Ye Limondo's escape. Just as he reacted, he immediately threw out the spear in his hand and stabbed a Song army. Then he jumped off his horse and got out of the place of battle. Only then did he find that the number of people fighting between his army and the Song army seemed to be less than half, and just when he was puzzled, he saw the horses and soldiers falling to the ground everywhere on the charging route, and then he suddenly woke up, this must have been done by the Song army's artillery.

"Retire, retreat!"

After his subordinates sent the horses, Yelimondo immediately chose to retreat. His subordinates were no longer able to threaten the Song army's defensive line, so it was better to retreat and find a countermeasure.

Liang Yishu was under the banner of Shuai, and he was extremely aggrieved, watching the wild Limondo sa girl rush out, and seeing the wild Limondo sa girl fleeing back, he was very busy as if he was rushing to the market.

He understood that it was not the fault of Wild Limondo. However, it is undeniable that this attack has caused great trouble to the party members.

Because Yelimondo is the last supporter of his non-retreat, if more than half of the party's army is lost, Liang Yishu will not have to worry about how powerful the Song army's offensive methods are, but should worry that his own army may mutiniate anytime and anywhere. His army is not bad, and the army is also a relatively elite main army in Western Xia.

If the army with lower combat effectiveness had fought to this extent, it would have collapsed long ago.

But what made Liang Yishu wonder was that after Ye Limondo fled back, many of the horses and wounded soldiers who fell on the battlefield and many of them fled back in a daze.

It is a miracle that he did not die after being destroyed by artillery.

The first thing Ye Limondo said when he saw Liang Yishu was: "My lord, you must capture the new weapon of the Song army, you look at this, this weapon can fire two projectiles of completely different sizes and quantities. The big one can kill the iron harrier in an instant, but this kind of small projectile, even if the light cavalry takes a few hits, as long as it is not injured, it will not die. But with one shot, the former has only one, and the latter is as boundless as a goddess scattering flowers. ”

"Hmm!" Liang Yishu took the scattered projectile and looked at it carefully. At this time, Liang Yishu wanted to withdraw his troops, but there was no way, the Iron Harrier was about to lose a quarter, although the loss of 400 people was nothing to a big battle of tens of thousands of people. But what is even more aggrieved is that he still can't win. 516

Could it be that he is really going to prison when he returns to Lingzhou?

But he had to listen to Ye Limondo's advice, and Liang Yishu would not doubt Ye Limondo's vision. Even if the other party is more obedient, he doesn't mind handing over the command of all the great armies to Yelimondo.

"Well, this one!"

I fumbled with a projectile the size of a fingernail in my hand, and a rough feeling came from my hand. Liang Yishu was caught in a dilemma: "Mondo, you should know that the soldiers are tired. ”

This sentence is completely a golden word on one's face, what does it mean that the soldiers are tired?

Is it that morale has fallen into a trough, and it can't hold on at all, okay?

But Ye Limondo was still insisting, and he firmly believed in his judgment: "My lord, you have to know how much of a threat the appearance of this new weapon in the Song army is to my Great Xia?" You should know what it means that our cavalry can no longer gallop on the battlefield, while the infantry of the Song army can easily crush our cavalry. ”

"What do you mean?"

Liang Yishu really didn't know that the war between Western Xia and Song had a natural danger, a big river.

No matter how bad it is, wouldn't it be better to go back?

Besides, Liang Yishu didn't think that relying on his identity could rekindle the morale of the soldiers, which was unrealistic. Unless you let Yelimondo's clan be the main attacker, but if Yelimondo wants to use his own clan as the main attacker, will he come to reason with him?

Liang Yishu, who felt that something was wrong, was unwilling to admit his incompetence, and at the same time, he was not willing to continue to stalemate with Song Jun.

In case the reinforcements of the Song army come again, they can't deal with the five thousand Song army, if there is another Song army, can he still escape back?

After thinking about it, Liang Yishu could only ask Ye Limondo directly: "General Mondo, you and I don't want to go around in circles, tell me what you think." ”

"Spread out the charge with iron harriers, the light cavalry followed, and finally filled with infantry, snatching the new weapons of the Song army. Don't do more, just a few, bring it back to Lingzhou, hand it over to the Queen Mother and the princes of the court, maybe for the sake of our bravery, we will not be held accountable for the adverse consequences of the war. ”

It doesn't matter if Wild Limondo is not the main general. The guilt of the unfavorable battle did not fall on his head.

But Liang Yishu is difficult to say, Empress Dowager Liang supported him, and she must be her right-hand man. If there is no merit, how can Liang Yishu be a high-ranking and powerful minister?

Liang Yishu did not open his mouth to agree.

But the Iron Harrier Master was full of slander, but he could no longer bear the shameless behavior of Wild Limondo and let his Iron Harrier be cannon fodder, and scolded angrily: "Mondo, you and I are compatible, but we are friendly troops on the battlefield, and you ignore the interests of Great Xia and look for opportunities to frame me everywhere, what kind of man is it, it is a man, you and I duel!" ”

Liang Yishu frowned slightly, and scolded: "It's full! ”

"Your Excellency!"

But Liang Yishu was still lucky, and asked in a low voice: "Can't you use spies?" ”

This is also a train of thought. The Song people had spies in the Western Xia, but in fact, the Western Xia was no longer the Western Xia of the Party members, and the Western Xia also had a tendency of ethnic integration. After all, it is absolutely impossible to go from a nomadic to a semi-nomadic, semi-agrarian country without ethnic integration. There were many Han nobles in Western Xia, for example, the Liang family was of Han blood. But now the Liang family controls the government of the Western Xia, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and even the Western Xia royal family has to avoid its edge.

The Great Song Dynasty had many spies in Western Xia.

But in the same way, Western Xia also planted a lot of spies in the Great Song Dynasty.

Liang Yishu pondered asking the spies to bring this new weapon from the Song people to Western Xia, which also avoided the casualties caused by another charge. After all, more than 40,000 people have almost lost more than half of the casualties, and if they continue to fight, they are likely to end up running for the annihilation of the entire army.

But this suggestion was immediately refuted by Ye Limondo, who pointed to the handsome banner of the Song army and asked Liang Yishu: "Dashuai, do you think that the Song people may have planted spies into the Iron Harrier?" ”

Without waiting for Liang Yishu to speak, he jumped up and roared: "It's impossible." ”

"What do you think?" Ye Limondo didn't look at this guy with a simple head and well-developed limbs at all, this guy is a fierce general, but he is only a fierce general. Yelimondo is the best of the young generals in the party's army, and the future prospects of the two are fundamentally different. For Yu Qiman, at most he will be promoted to the official position of the Grand Commander of the Iron Harrier, but what about him? In the future, he will be the commander of thousands of troops.

Liang Yishu was helpless when he was forced to ask, so he had to answer: "Iron Harrier is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, so naturally there can be no spies." No matter how cunning the Song people are, they can't get in. ”

"Okay, big marshal, do you see any difference in the Song Junshuai Banner?"

"It's a little different, how is it yellow, doesn't it matter?"

Liang Yishu muttered to himself, and then looked at Ye Limondo for no reason, and the latter sneered: "Marshal, this is the pro-army of the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, only the pro-army of the Emperor of the Song Army will hang the Yellow Dragon Banner!" ”

"Ahh

Liang Yishu exclaimed, Emperor Song's pro-army? I'm afraid that there is no way to infiltrate the fine work, let alone get back the new weapons of the Song army, this is not something that money can do.

But for Liang Yishu, the question is not here, why did no one tell him from beginning to end that it was the pro-army of the Song Emperor who fought with him?

This feeling is very bad, just like their Liang family is in the Western Xia Palace, deceiving the Western Xia Emperor. It's just that this time the protagonist is not the Western Xia Emperor, but him, Liang Yishu. He is like a big fool, deceived by his subordinates. This kind of terrible process, Liang Yishu really wanted to let the bastard Ye Limondo pull down and cut it directly.

But he also knew that killing the general before the battle would make the army unstable. Or in the face of an army that is about to collapse, if you really have to do this, the army will immediately collapse.

Liang Yishu looked at Ye Limondo uncertainly, and suddenly asked, "Then is it possible?" ”

"Impossible, how could the emperor of the Song State have five thousand men and horses by his side? According to the habit of the Emperor of the Song State, with such a few people, the Emperor of the Song State would have fled a long time ago. ”

Yelimondo was adamant that he did not believe that the emperor of the Song State had returned to the northwest. In fact, since Emperor Zhenzong, the emperors of the Song Kingdom have never appeared on the battlefield. Even Emperor Zhenzong was deceived out of the capital by Kou Zhun, Wang Dan and others, and Zhenzong didn't want to go to the front line at all. When he arrived in Danzhou, he found that he couldn't go back, and he had a kind of panic that the emperor's luck was taken away.

Liang Yishu thought about it and asked, "The morale is exhausted, what can I do?" ”

"Tell the soldiers that as long as they grab the new weapons of the Song army, no matter how many, go home immediately." Yelimondo said decisively.

"Go home!" Liang Yishu lowered his head and muttered for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just do it, grab the new weapon of the Song army, let's go home!" ”
