1010: Song Jun's confidence
Are these Song soldiers brain-dead?
Zheng Yong only felt full of joy, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, as long as the five or six thousand Song troops were defeated before the arrival of the Song army's army, then the rest would be simple.
And on the opposite side of them, those Song troops lined up in a neat array, raising the 'sticks' in their hands.
"Volley!"
A Song general raised his sword, glanced at Zheng Yong in the long roar with the eyes of Sabi, and after he drank resolutely, a dense explosion followed.
In the smoke of gunpowder, the Liao people at the forefront fell one after another.
How is this possible?
Zheng Yong felt that he must be dazzled.
A Liao soldier only felt a bite on the shoulder, and then a sharp pain hit, he glanced at the shoulder, where the blood had already begun to flow.
The Liao army, which was making a U-turn in front, fell in pieces like leeks being cut.
When the rest of the Liao army saw this posture, they were even more panicked, they were fleeing for their lives in a panic, and even bumped into their comrades, and both fell off their horses.
"Pingyang Gong is here!"
The sound of horses' hooves behind him gradually became clear, and more than 20,000 cavalry rushed up, Qin Wei gave the order to pursue on horseback, and rushed forward first.
The Song army bypassed the flintlock musket array from both sides and began to pursue the enemy.
Qin Wei rode his horse slowly, and the kind of man beside him said: "You have made a trap, and the cavalry of 5,000 people lured the Liao army to attack, and then covered the killing. ”
"Zheng Yong is known as a fierce general, with a short temper, and he has been trapped in Yunnei Prefecture for many years, and he has a fire in his heart, just need to lure it, it's simple."
Today, Qin Wei has already become a veteran of the battlefield, and this kind of strategy is easy to come by, which makes the generals admire.
And the confidence that he really dared to confront the Liao army was not only in the edge of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but also in the big killing weapon he prepared...... Fusilier muskets.
Although it is only the most primitive flintlock flintlock musket, it is still a cross-era artifact in this era.
The craftsmen of the steelmaking plant spent ten years secretly researching and developing, and the loss of funds alone is hundreds of thousands, not to mention those who have worked day and night.
Now all the hard work has paid off.
As soon as the flintlock musketeers of the Great Song Dynasty appeared, they beat the Liao army and abandoned their armor, and they didn't even have the slightest ability to fight back!
This is the real confidence of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the confidence of Qin Wei!
The Bianliang Forbidden Army was commanded, and the commander of the Xuanwu Army made Kang Xi ride a horse to Qin Wei's side, his face was full of awe and shock, and he arched his hand and said: "The last general has seen Pingyang Gong." ”
"How did you feel about the first actual combat exercise?"
Qin Wei asked with a smile, he looked at the battlefield full of ruined walls, and was in a very good mood with the corpses of the Liao army and the scattered 'parts'.
This was the first actual battle after the flintlock musket was born, and Qin Wei did not question its power, but he did not expect that this battle would be so smooth.
This is an excellent start, and it will give great courage to the Xuanwu army.
"Xia Guan has never seen such a might, and he has had the honor to enter the drills of these musketeers in the martial arts arena of Bianliang before.
Although the power at that time was also amazing, it was false after all, and there was no comparison with real war, let alone intuitive feeling.
And today, my Great Song musketeers swept through the cavalry of the Liao army, destroying their main force with just a face......
In the future, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will be invincible in the world! ”
Oh, yes!
With flintlock muskets and gunpowder, there is no fortified city in the world to defend, even if it is a reinforced concrete building, under the sufficient amount of gunpowder, it can only be destroyed.
And the cavalry that the Liao State was originally proud of, the impact they relied on to be powerful, would become a joke.
The Liao army will struggle under the dense firepower of the Great Song Dynasty, and there will be no room to fight back...... If it is supplemented by crossbowmen and sword and axe hands, such a configuration is not only the Liao State, but also the iron army of the Han and Tang Dynasties!
Qin Wei felt that with such a powerful configuration, destroying a Liao country was simply sprinkling water, and his goal was the world!
In this world, at this moment, only Da Song has a thermal weapon that can damage absolutely damage, and with such a technological advantage, it is difficult not to dominate the world!
"It is indeed invincible in the world!"
He said longingly: "If only my Great Song soldiers could be equipped with such weapons...... Then my generation of martial artists will be flaunted in history this time! ”
On the battlefield ahead, the cavalry of the Song army was still pursuing, and the formation of the Liao army had long been scattered, and countless routs fled away.
After the Liao army rushed into the city, it closed the city gate when there were still more than 1,000 people left.
"Zheng Yong, you can't die well!"
The Liao people who were locked out were weeping and screaming in despair.
At this moment, Zheng Yong, who called himself a fierce general, was already scared to pee, he rode his horse all the way in, and then went to the city.
"That's the new weapon of the Song army, a hundred times more terrifying than bows and crossbows and gunpowder! Under the slaughter of such artifacts, how can we win? ”
No matter how fierce the Liao army is, it is also a human being, and if it is a human being, it will be afraid.
Under the absolute dominance of hot weapons, even the most powerful cold weapons can only be slaughtered.
This is no longer a gap in strength, but a gap in the times!
Just like when Li Hongzhang visited the United States, he looked at the trains and ships all over the ground and the cars that could fly without manpower, and I was afraid that he was also in this mood.
Powerless!
The sense of defeat from the bottom of his heart made him no longer have a glimmer of hope.
Zheng Yong was trembling, thinking of the previous scene, his face was full of horror, and he swore ...... I've never been so scared in my life.
It was a life-and-death battle between the two armies, and it was nothing more than a rain of swords, guns and arrows.
But now?
This is not a battle, but a one-sided slaughter, like humans slaughtering poultry, and that sense of powerlessness is the source of fear.
The officials on the side also turned pale, and said in a trembling voice: "It's all detailed and stable, the Song army has caught up." ”
"Get out of the way!"
The cavalry of the Song army did not chase after them, but waited for the musketeers behind to take position, and then re-arrayed and pressed up.
"Musketeers, first round, salvo!"
The Liao troops in front of them who failed to enter the city fell in an instant, and the rest had long lost the courage to resist, and they knelt on the ground and wailed.
To rush up is to die, but not to rush is to die, and they can't do anything but cry in despair.
Zheng Yong listened to these wails under the city, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and then he shouted coldly: "The whole army is defending!" Don't attack rashly, the gates are closed, and no one can open the city without my orders!. ”
The soldiers on the side were a little stunned.
This fierce general was only defeated once, how could he change so much, let alone counterattack, he didn't even dare to go out of the city gate, and let those Song troops slaughter their comrades.
"Don't put it anymore! I'm waiting! ”
The Liao army under the city finally couldn't stand it anymore, and they knelt on the ground and shouted, trying to surrender in exchange for the last ray of life.
But Zheng Yong above was angry and said coldly: "You dare to surrender treason in front of this general, and give me arrows!" Shoot them! Shoot them! ”
The archers of the Liao army at the head of the city poked their heads out, but whenever they made a move, they were caught by Kang Xi, who commanded the city.
Seeing that those people took the initiative to show their heads, Kang Xi said happily: "Haha, what you are waiting for is now, musketeer, aim Lao Tzu at the head of the city and launch!" ”
The musketeers raised their flintlock muskets, calmly lit the fuse, and then hundreds of hollow barrels were aimed at the Liao army on the tower.
"Shoot!"
In just one volley, most of the archers at the head of the city were killed and wounded, which was the first actual battle of the flintlock musket in this era, and the Liao army was completely defeated.
"Shoot!"
After the second volley, there were no more people to be seen at the head of the city, and those Liao troops who were blocked out of the gate ushered in a respite.
A small group of people took the opportunity to rush to the city gate, but then they shouted with grief and indignation: "These bastards, they are blocking the city gate!" ”
The anger of being abandoned made them want to fight back.
These Liao soldiers ran over, discarded their long knives without commanding, and then knelt there and shouted: "We are willing to attack the city, and we are willing to make meritorious contributions!" ”
Guilty of meritorious service?
Kang Xi listened to the surrender shouts of the Liao army and wanted to laugh a little.
Once upon a time, the invincible Liao people also had today's embarrassment, and they actually surrendered to my Great Song Dynasty? The 100th anniversary of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty is the first time!
And at this moment on the head of the city.
Zheng Yong, who was frightened by the musketeers, squatted behind the groove, and when he heard this, his face was as pale as paper.
The so-called famous general, after being abandoned for seven years, was hit by Qin Wei and showed his prototype.
"You are all traitors! Rebel! My traitor to Da Liao! ”
He gritted his teeth and shouted with a long knife: "Arrest their families and kill them all!" Don't worry, the Song army can't attack it! ”
What he didn't expect was that at this moment, the gunpowder packs under the city were ready, and dozens of small gunpowder packs were made into a super large gunpowder bag.
Several Song troops worked together to place it on the catapult behind.
"Aim for the gates! Ignition! ”
Rumble!
After a loud bang, there was an instant gap in the city wall, but the Song army did not take advantage of the situation to attack from this gap, which made the Liao army who came to block it a little dazed.
"What do you see me doing? Gunpowder continues! How much you want, use it for Lao Tzu! ”
With the arrival of Qin Wei, the atmosphere of the scene was pushed to a climax, and the soldiers of the Song Army let out an earth-shattering roar as if they had been beaten with chicken blood!
The second powder bag went on to smash into the walls with the help of catapults.
Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth...... It wasn't until after the seventh powder pack was bombed that the sky was full of dust, as if it were the end of the world.
When the dust and smoke gradually dissipated, everyone looked ahead, and the city gate had already been bombarded into pieces of ruins by gunpowder, and behind them were all Liao soldiers who had been stoned to death or bombarded to death.
It was punched out of four large holes, and the back was full of flesh and blood.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the dilapidated city gate completely collapsed, and a surviving Liao army had just risen from the ruins when they saw the city gate collapse violently, and those Song soldiers actually stepped forward on foot.
Some people died, but not completely......
