559: The power of gunpowder
Ahead was the river, babbling and blowing with moisture, which lifted people's spirits.
"Catch up!"
Seeing that the Northern Expeditionary Army was in a desperate situation, General Liao couldn't help but shout in ecstasy: "Kill, kill!" Annihilate them all! ”
The Northern Expeditionary Army in front suddenly turned their horses' heads, raised small fires in their hands, and then threw the fires on the ground.
Hundreds of burning fires rolled down, and the Liao army that was galloping couldn't avoid it at all.
General Liao remembered the fire attack of the defeated army last time, and shouted: "Don't stop! Rush over and you'll be fine! That's the one that scares the horse, rush over! ”
War horses are afraid of fire, this is the nature of animals.
They had a way to do this before they came, and that was to urge the horses to gallop, and as long as they were fast enough, the horses would not have time to be afraid.
So the Liao army beat the horses one after another, or kicked the horse's belly hard with their feet. The warhorse neighed and rushed over.
"It's over, haha!"
Once the war horse goes crazy, it will not stop, let alone fire, even if it is a knife, it is not afraid, otherwise where does the courage to rush and kill in the face of the enemy's spear array come from, it is not that people are not afraid of death, it is that the horse is crazy.
Those small fires suddenly dimmed, and someone in the Liao army shouted: "Extinguish, extinguish!" ”
"It's providence, hahahaha!"
The Liao people were rejoicing, and the Northern Expeditionary Army in front suddenly separated to the left and right.
"Boom, boom!"
Countless explosions sounded intensively, and General Liao only felt a shock to his body, so he subconsciously lay on the horse's back.
His horsemen stood up, neighing madly.
Countless fires burst out, and the general's legs clamped the horse's belly, and he saw those subordinates screaming in the firelight, as if he had encountered a devil.
He saw a war horse jumping up violently, and the Liao army on his back was thrown out like a puppet, but when the war horse landed, it no longer had this crazy momentum, and fell directly on the grass.
Blood was pouring from the bodies of the centaurs, and many were screaming, but many more fell off their horses without even screaming.
Liao Jiang looked left and right in despair.
The Northern Expeditionary Army was separated from the left and right not to escape, but to be trapped, with the river in front of it, which was a dead end, and the left and right were the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Behind him is a way to live, but you still have to turn the horse's head, which means that the momentum is gone.
"What is this! What the hell! ”
General Liao's ears were buzzing, and he shouted in despair: "Is this a new weapon of the Song people?" ”
This was the first time that gunpowder was used on a large scale on the battlefield, and after such a wave of explosions, less than 200 people were left on horseback.
The others were thrown to the ground by the frantic horses.
These people were stunned at the moment, the war horses were jumping wildly, and the people were deaf by the sound of explosions, and they were looking around blankly.
"Crossbow bolts!"
A voice came, cold and emotionless.
Liao Jiang only then came to his senses, he looked blankly ahead, and shouted, "Get out of here!" You must flee back, tell them, tell them that the Song people have ......"
What's there?
He didn't know what the new weapon was called, or even how the explosion was formed.
Nowadays, gunpowder is more of an arson than an explosion.
At this time, the gunpowder concocted by the recipe was simply not enough to show its power.
Explosion is a very difficult thing, and it is more often mixed with various poisons to make poison gas bombs, which are used to create turmoil, and the power is very limited.
For example, arsenic croton or something, these can be used to block the enemy, so the Liao army that encountered the first earth bomb attack was stunned.
What kind of weapon is this?
The Song people actually had such an artifact, why didn't they use it in the past?
Just as they were stunned, the bolts flew over.
The Liao army fell one after another, and then began to assemble and flee for their lives.
They can't turn around, because they will lose time and will be calmly intercepted by the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Then let's face it head-on.
General Liao led the last of his men to the left, and Qin Wei was on the left......
He was holding the fire fold in his hand, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
Come on!
Grandpa buys you candy to eat!
The Liao army's breakthrough was very decisive, and once it was decided, it would not hesitate, which shows that this is a well-trained army.
Their speed was astonishingly fast, and they rushed to the front of the Northern Expeditionary Army almost in the blink of an eye.
After a volley of crossbow arrows, the Northern Expeditionary Army once again lit the clay pot in its hand.
Qin Wei lit the crockpot in his hand and shouted, "Retreat!" Be careful of hurting your own people? ”
The enemy forces are very close, and they are fighting to the death.
If it weren't for the Liao army's impatience and running away, it is estimated that they would use bows and arrows to teach Qin Wei to be a man.
The Liao cavalry, which is known as invincible immediately, almost every cavalry is a good marksman.
But they were blown up by the sudden gunpowder, and they had already lost their way.
General Liao couldn't help but be angry and desperate when he saw those familiar little fire heads.
He urged his horse to run wildly, and just as he had rushed through the dense section of the field with small fires, an explosion sounded behind him.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The people and horses behind him were screaming, and the smell of gunpowder smoke was blown by the wind, which was very choking.
"Ahh
The Liao general sneezed, and then reined in the warhorse.
There were only a dozen horsemen left behind him.
This is his last strength.
"Dismount and kneel!"
"Dismount and kneel!"
The Northern Expeditionary Army was in formation, and the pursuers behind them also pressed over.
General Liao turned around and saw that the Northern Expeditionary Army was harvesting the battlefield.
The black-armored cavalry of the Song people were like evil spirits from hell, they rode their horses to trample on the Liao troops who fell to the ground, and if there was a scream or escape, it would be a knife immediately.
Don't leave a single mouth alive!
Just like when the Northern Expeditionary Army was in Youzhou, the Liao Army was also not prepared to stay alive.
There have been countless secret wars between the two sides over the years, but all the secret spies who infiltrated were elite.
Therefore, kill it cleanly and avoid future troubles.
Then both sides will use these severed heads to humiliate each other, which is the norm.
But the generals are different.
A leading commander is naturally much more valuable than those big-headed soldiers, and it is hard to find.
If the Song people can capture the Liao generals, it will be a great joy.
They will provide the Liao generals with good food and drink, and then report to the Liao people, waiting for the other party to make an offer.
Your generals have been captured!
How many years has it been since this happened?
Are you ashamed to spread it? So prepare, it's not a good thing, don't think let's let people go.
Qin Wei is fighting this kind of attention, he is going to get some good horses and go back to equip those recruits.
If possible, it would be better to extort some more cattle and sheep from the Liao.
But it depends on whether the Liao general in front of him is worth those things.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh a little, shook his head and said, "I killed a lot of horses just now, it's a pity...... These horses are good horses even in Bianliang. ”
The Liao general on the opposite side suddenly rode his horse and turned around, Qin Wei was thinking about the intentions of this guy, and the Liao general leaned over on the back of the horse and played a beautiful equestrian hand.
When he came up again, he had an extra long knife in his hand, and then he turned his horse's head and came slowly.
"We are the warriors of Daliao!"
He raised his long knife and roared angrily.
"We are the warriors of Daliao! We are the warriors of Da Liao......"
More than 100 surviving Liao soldiers raised their long knives, their eyes desperate but resolute.
This is the Liao Army! A country that truly fights the world on horseback.
There is no doubt about their strength, even if it is decades later, the Liao State has long been rotten, but they can still beat the Great Song Forbidden Army out of.
They have never lacked the courage and pride of dying.
This is the old enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is even more of a fierce enemy!
Liao will slowly destroy the horses to advance...... The Liao army, which was less than 100 men, all raised their swords and followed behind, even if they had no chance of winning, they still formed a sharp arrow formation.
"Come with me...... Kill Qin Wei! ”
General Liao suddenly roared, and then began to accelerate.
Their goal is very clear, that is, to kill Qin Wei at all costs, even if the entire army is annihilated.
"What a stubborn opponent! Desperate to kill a certain ......"
This was the first time Qin Wei had seen the bravery of the Liao people, which was different from the bravery of the Western Xia, which made him vigilant.
They identify with the Liao State, and there is the concept that the country is greater than everything, which is the origin of national consciousness.
If it can develop steadily, we will guide it again...... That kind of Liao is really terrible!
Xie Ting muttered, "It's a warrior." Lang Jun, he should be given a warrior's way to die. ”
Qin Wei nodded, and then raised his hand to signal the final encirclement.
Xie Ting was a little stunned, "Lang Jun, shouldn't such a warrior be a one-on-one battle?" ”
"Fight a yarn!"
"The hero of the enemy, the enemy of mine. For us, there are only enemies and grudges, no heroes and warriors! Shoot! Liao General...... That's it, shoot the horse. ”
He wanted a war horse, but he wanted to capture the Liao general.
The good archery skills of the Northern Expeditionary Army were shown at this moment, and after a burst of crossbow arrows, the remnants of the Liao army that had just started were all defeated, and none of them were spared.
Only the Liao general's war horse was hit by an arrow, and a jump turned him upside down.
Qin Wei dismounted and walked over, Xie Tingleng paused, and said, "Be careful of General Liao, protect Lang Jun quickly." ”
The job of protecting Qin Wei has always been Qiao Feng, but this time Qin Wei changed Lin Xiaobei.
He knew that Lin Xiaobei definitely had a secret, but he refused to say it, so it was up to Qin to explore it for himself.
Lin Xiaobei was in a daze at the moment, so his reaction was half a beat slower.
It was the first time he had seen the battle formation, and he was starting to feel that he was fine, but now he was a little shocked.
He thought that his personal martial arts were invincible, but at this moment he realized that in the explosion of that kind of crockpot, his martial arts were just a joke.
What is this?
He wanted to ask, but knew no one would answer.
Until he is completely trusted, he will not have the opportunity to touch Qin Wei's core secrets.
How do I do that?
Lin Xiaobei followed behind a little dazedly, watching Qin Wei walk in front of General Liao, who insisted on sitting up, and then sat on the grass.
Liao Jiang coughed, and blood bubbles gushed out of his mouth from time to time.
"Your bones must have been stuck in your lungs, and you can't be saved."
Qin Wei sat cross-legged very easily, and behind him was Niu Mang, who was standing with a knife.
General Liao gasped for a moment and smiled, "What's that?" ”
Qin Wei asked, "What?" ”
"It's the one that blew up."
Qin Wei shook his head and said, "This is a secret, a secret that even His Majesty the Great Song doesn't know......"
General Liao's eyes were full of brilliance, and he raised his voice and said, "You want to rebel!" ”
When he was dying, he didn't forget to sow discord, and he was a character.
Qin Wei just smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not a rebellion, it's just that the time is not right, and I'm worried that I will be known by you before the big war." I'm even more worried that someone will betray me, so I'll tell you the secret. ”
Those present in the Northern Expeditionary Army nodded silently.
At this point, they have a painful experience.
If it weren't for Chen Xin's betrayal, how would they encounter a crisis in Nanjing Dao?
General Liao obviously thought of this, and he smiled: "You Han people like infighting, and your own fight collapses your own family, and then cheapens our Da Liao." ”
This was frustrating, Qin Wei sensed this emotion, and said: "Everyone is fighting inwardly, as long as there are people, there will be a struggle for power and profit, and the same is true within your Liao State, for example, this time Qin can prepare in advance, that is, there are Liao people who are ventilating and reporting the news." ”
"Who?"
General Liao, who had been comforted by the mind, became angry all of a sudden, he stretched out his hand to grab Qin Wei, but in a flash of the knife, his hand was broken off from his wrist.
He stared blankly at the bloody spurting break, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, you won't tell me......"
He suddenly began to sing, a Liao folk song that he couldn't understand the lyrics, and his singing voice was desolate and sad.
As soon as Qin Wei's legs were forced, the person bounced up.
"Owl Head!"
General Liao had already picked up the long knife with his left hand, which was preparing to commit suicide.
But Qin Wei was cruel and deprecating, and didn't give him a chance to kill himself.
"What a bullshit warrior! In the future, Da Song will beat them out of the! ”
With Qin Wei's words, Niu Mang swung his knife.
General Liao was stunned, he didn't expect Qin Wei to be so personless, and he didn't even have basic qualities.
Didn't Emperor Song say that you were a famous general? What else do you say that you have a handsome style.
That's it?
Famous generals must have grace!
It was his last thought before he made a temporary move.
Qin Wei walked in front, and Lin Xiaobei followed closely behind him, feeling out of breath.
He has seen many people and killed many people.
But he had never seen Qin Wei like this guy who decided life and death between laughter and scolding.
This is a battlefield, and he doesn't understand the battlefield.
But he knew that it was difficult for martial artists, and it was especially difficult for martial artists in the Great Song Dynasty.
But Qin Wei easily killed the Liao army.
If he is replaced to deal with the Liao generals, he will probably be a sword, and he will not be verbose.
But Qin Wei chatted with him for a few words, and then asked General Liao to do it when he felt satisfied.
This person......
It's unpredictable!
And Qin Wei said that someone in the Liao State was giving him a message.
No!
There are a lot of Liao people in Hejian Mansion, and as an 'old friend' of the Liao people, Qin Wei is worried about being killed, so he is very cautious. As Qin Wei's guard, Lin Xiaobei has been inseparable from him these days.
He swore that Qin Wei had never seen a stranger in the past few days.
So how did the word come about?
Is there anything else I don't know?
Lin Xiaobei was thinking about this, and suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, and he was subconsciously ready to do it.
"Go, it's your first time in battle, and I remember you said that you don't want to reward money, just want to take you into battle. Now you're here, go, and you're building a Beijing temple with them! ”
Lin Xiaobei was stunned, and then felt that this was just a trivial matter.
He followed the villagers to carry the corpses, and at first he really didn't feel anything.
He has a lot of strength, he can hold two corpses at a time, and those villagers have a good impression of him.
