The remnants of the sun are like blood.

The sunset in the west cast a bloody shadow over the battlefield, adding a touch of tragedy.

"Dangdang!"

The rapid and piercing sound of golden drums came from the camp of the Jin army.

The Jin army, which had originally attacked fiercely, immediately faded like a tide, leaving corpses all over the ground.

Wanyan Zongwang's face was cold, and under the support of Liu Yanzong and others, he returned to the camp.

……

Under the darkness of the night.

The south gate of Rongcheng quietly opened, and a group of cavalry rushed in.

These cavalrymen were covered with horses, and even the hooves of their horses were wrapped in a piece of linen.

Thousands of cavalry were stunned and didn't make much movement.

Although the scout battalion has secretly dealt with the Jin army spies scattered around Rongcheng, be careful to sail the Ten Thousand Year Ship.

In the rear of the cavalry, there were also ox carts.

The same is true of the old ox pulling the cart, with a bamboo cage cover and a hoof wrapped in linen.

When the last ox cart entered the city, the gates were quickly closed and the jack gates lowered.

"I've seen the county magistrate!"

Han Shizhong hung in front of him with a wooden plank in one arm.

This was injured by Wanyan Lou's room with a copper hammer during the siege yesterday.

Yu Jun was not much better, he was shot in the thigh, and he couldn't stand steadily at the moment, supported by two personal guards.

Even the two of them are like this, but they can think of other Qingzhou army soldiers.

Of the 15,000 men, less than 12,000 remained under the onslaught of the Jin army, and half of them were wounded.

Han Zhen turned over and dismounted, spit out the copper coin in his mouth, and said with concern: "Is the injury serious?" ”

"Thank you for the county magistrate's concern, the end will not be in the way, and it will be good to raise it for a while."

Han Shizhong shook his head nonchalantly.

Although he was hammered, he didn't get a good deal with Yan Lou's room, and Sun Gen was kicked hard by him, and the other party who was in pain almost fainted on the spot.

With his strength, the ancestral hall of Wanyan Lou's room was completely abolished.

Patting him on the shoulder, Han Zhen chuckled and said, "I'll avenge you tomorrow!" ”

Although he was laughing, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Good!"

Han Shizhong nodded solemnly, his face full of anticipation.

……

……

Following.

In the early morning, there was a tooth-aching sound.

The east gate of Rongcheng slowly opened from the inside, and more than 8,000 Qingzhou troops dressed in Xuanjia walked out of the city gate, followed by Han Zhen and 3,000 cavalry.

When they came outside the city, they immediately set up a military formation.

When the Jin army scouts saw this scene, they immediately returned to the barracks on horseback to report the incident.

"What?"

"The defenders of Rongcheng opened the city gate and went out of the city to meet the battle?"

The moment he learned the news, Wanyan Zongwang immediately felt a wave of ecstasy in his heart, but he immediately frowned again.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Wanyan Yanmu in the tent was puzzled: "Shandong thief reinforcements are coming?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang also thought so, otherwise, why would the defenders dare to go out of the city to fight them in the field?

The spy replied: "There are no reinforcements, and there are only more than 10,000 thieves in Shandong." ”

More than 10,000 people?

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Yanmu glanced at each other, shocked and uncertain.

Seeing that the two of them were suspicious, Wanyan Lou Room looked down on him a little, and felt the great pain coming from the ancestral hall, he said with a hideous face: "Cowering, it is difficult to become a big thing." How could such a great opportunity be missed, even if there were ambushes in the city? ”

was ridiculed by him like this, Wanyan Zongwang was not annoyed, but glanced at his ancestral hall sympathetically.

After Yan Lou's room was carried back by the guards yesterday, after the diagnosis of the military doctor, his descendants were completely abolished.

For the Jurchens, it is not a big deal to lack arms and legs, as long as they are alive, they are still a good man.

But the descendants are gone......

Are you still a man?

As if sensing his gaze, Wanyan Lou's forehead jumped violently, and it took great perseverance to suppress the violence in his heart.

Liu Yanzong said: "According to the report from the spies, there is no trace of the army near Rongcheng. Even if there were a small force that went out day and night to avoid scouts, the number would not be too many, only a few thousand at most. Xu attacked the city twice, which greatly increased the confidence of the defenders, and he felt that I couldn't wait for this, so he chose to go out of the city to face the battle. ”

This reason is somewhat outrageous, but it is not impossible.

Otherwise, it really can't be explained why the defenders of Rongcheng would go out of the city to meet the battle in the absence of other reinforcements.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so after a slight hesitation, he ordered: "The whole army will fight!" ”

Half an hour later, Wanyan Zongwang personally led an army of 50,000 out of the camp and went straight to Rongcheng.

He left a hand and asked Liu Yanzong to lead an army of 20,000 to stay in the camp and press the rear in case of emergency.

……

"Report!"

"The Jin army came out of the camp, and the number was about fifty or sixty thousand."

"Report!"

"The Jin army is based on this."

There is no need for spies to report, and one mile is enough to see the situation on the other side.

The earth trembled slightly, and the overwhelming golden army surged like a tide.

Facing an enemy army six times their size, the Qingzhou army did not have a trace of fear from top to bottom, but showed a cruel smile one by one.

The battle to defend the city a few days ago made them extremely aggrieved.

Now that the county magistrate is here and the firearms have arrived, it's time for this group of barbarians to know how powerful their Qingzhou army is.

……

Riding on the war horse, Wanyan Zongwang looked at the defenders outside the city from afar, and a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes.

Crane Wing Array?

I saw that the opponent's front formation was spread out, and the formation looked a little sparse.

There were 2,000 men on each flank, like bird's wings, in an arc, and behind them was a cavalry.

It was too far away to see the specific number of cavalry, but Wanyan Zongwang estimated that it would not be too much, and thousands of people were killed.

Wan Yan Lou Room sneered: "Han people like to make some flashy things. ”

Han Shizhong's kick was too ruthless, and when he was riding on a horse at the moment, the ancestral hall of the saddle was in pain for a while.

With the bumps of the war horse walking, a huge pain poured into his brain like a tide, making his eyes red, his heart irritable, and the whole person was on the verge of exploding.

He hated Han Shizhong now, even more than Han Zhen.

However, at the thought of being able to tear that Song man apart soon, Wan Yan Lou felt a little happier in his heart.

Boom Boom!

Fifty thousand soldiers marched forward, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

As the two sides got closer and closer, and when they were five hundred paces apart, the marching drums stopped, and the Jin army stopped in unison.

Wanyan Zongwang ordered: "Hu Liyan, it's up to you to fight the front!" ”

He knew that Yan Lou was holding back a fire in his heart, and he was eager for revenge.

Although he is dissatisfied with the other party's domineering, he is his own person after all.

The priorities are still clear.

"Good!"

Wan Yan Lou sneered.

Wanyan Zongwang continued: "Uncle, the cavalry is under your command. ”

Wanyan Yan's mother is the half-brother of Aguta, who is only thirty-five years old this year, not a few years older than Wanyan Zongwang, and the relationship between the two is quite close.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Wanyan Yan's mother responded with her fists clenched, and then hurried to the cavalry camp on horseback.

Knock knock!

The rousing drums of war slowly sounded.

Wanyan Lou took out the steel knife at his waist, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Sons, kill the Han army!" ”

"Kill the Han Army!!"

The front of the 20,000 Jin Army roared in unison, set up shields and guns, and marched towards the Qingzhou army.

The Jin army led by Wanyan Lou did not have any special tactics, the shield soldiers were in front, the spearmen were in hand, and the rear was a famous sword and axe player.

In Wanyan Lou's view, 50,000 against 10,000 is another field battle, which will be a one-sided massacre.

Looking at the slowly approaching Jin Army, the Qingzhou Army in the front row had no fear, but a hint of banter in their eyes.

"Shield!"

With Han Zhen's roar, the former military shield hand neatly erected the giant shield in his hand.

"Gunners fill shells!"

Hearing this, the gunners immediately began to fill the chamber with gunpowder, compacted it with wooden stoppers, and then began to load it with nails and thistles.

After more than half a year of training, the gunners' movements were extremely skillful, fast and steady.

After inserting the lead, the gunners stopped their movements and waited for orders.

400 steps...... 300 steps...... 200 steps......

When the Jin army entered the range of one hundred and fifty paces, the shieldmen in the front row suddenly began to retreat.

Seeing this scene, Jin Jun thought that the Qingzhou army was frightened and defeated, and he was suddenly overjoyed, and his steps couldn't help but be a little faster.

However, the next moment, the scene in front of them made the Jin Jun look puzzled.

As the shield soldiers retreated, a strange iron bump appeared in their field of vision.

A total of fifty field guns.

The three-foot-long barrel, aimed at the Jin Army, exuded a chill in the sun.

Wanyan Lou Room rode on his horse and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, the Han army went out of the city to meet these iron lumps?" ”

"Hahaha!"

His words caused the Jurchen soldiers around him to laugh in unison.

These Han soldiers are really crazy!

"Fire!"

Suddenly, a roar rang out.

I saw the artilleryman standing on the side of the barrel, taking out the fire fold from his waist and igniting the fuse.

Snort!

The sound of the lead burning rapidly, drowned out by the cacophony of footsteps.

The Jin army a hundred paces away only saw bursts of flickering sparks.

Followed by......

Boom Boom!

A deafening loud noise, like thunder, exploded in Jin Jun's ears.

With the thick smoke rising up, countless iron nails and thistles erupted from the barrel.

The giant shield and heavy armor that can block the strong crossbow are like paper paste at this moment, and they are pierced in an instant, densely covered with holes.

Fifty field guns were in unison, and the Jin army, which rushed to the front row, was instantly bombarded into a sieve.

The scattered shotguns even affected the Jin army in the second and third rows.

With just one volley, thousands of Jin troops lay down.

Most of them were killed on the spot, and a small number were not hit, but they also fell to the ground wailing and lost their combat strength.

However, the power of field artillery did not stop there.

The terrifying sound caused by the salvo of fifty field guns plunged the 50,000 Jin army into complete chaos.

"Wow!"

Wanyan Zongwang was also frightened by the war horse under him, raised his front hooves high, and then shook his body wildly.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't notice for a while, and the whole person fell off the horse's back and hit the ground hard.

After shaking off the master, the frightened war horse galloped wildly, and the Jurchen soldiers who hit it turned on their backs.

In the flank cavalry battalion, 20,000 horses were frightened and fled in all directions.

In an instant, thousands of Jurchen cavalry fell off their horses, and before they could struggle to get up, one by one, the horses' hooves trampled fiercely.

"Ahhh!!h

A terrible scream echoed over the battlefield.

The horses went berserk, and in an instant, hundreds of Jurchen cavalry died under the hooves of the horses.

In the middle of the Qingzhou Army, Han Zhen rode on the war horse and waved his hand: "Attack!" ”

"Knock knock!"

The rousing drums of war sounded.

"Kill, !!"

The Qingzhou Army, which had originally retreated to the rear of the artillery, immediately roared and rushed towards the Jin Army.

On top of the tower, there are ten siege guns.

Han Shizhong hung his arms and commanded with a sneer: "Aim at the Jinren Chinese Army, give Lao Tzu a bang!" ”
