Chapter 247: Northern Expedition!

In the following conversation, Yue Wudi learned that the blacksmith was Feng Mofeng, the fifth disciple of Huang Yaoshi, and after being expelled from Peach Blossom Island, he made a living by striking iron, and after a few years, he was recruited by the army to become a military craftsman and build ordnance.

Because Feng Mofeng has martial arts, his strength is much greater than that of ordinary blacksmiths, and the ordnance he created is also a rare boutique in the army.

Yue Wudi asked Feng Mofeng to build a pair of drum urns and golden hammers, and then to build a spear for himself, of course, he ordered someone to move the smelting equipment to the camp tent, Feng Mofeng couldn't go out now.

Of course, Feng Mofeng has no opinion, in his eyes, Yue Wudi is already his great benefactor, not only saved his senior brother, but also saved his senior mother, and now he has to dispense medicine for him to treat his leg injury, he just made two weapons for Yue Wudi, what is it?

What's more, Yue Wudi also agreed, after building these two weapons, he would be relieved of his status as a military craftsman, and when the time came, he could choose whether to stay in the army or leave the army.

For an ordinary blacksmith, it takes a long time to build a weapon, let alone build two weapons with high requirements, the weight of each drum urn and golden hammer must reach one hundred and twenty catties, and Yue Wudi's spear requires the quality of the whole body to be refined with steel, which can be rigid and soft, which can not be achieved by ordinary iron ore.

Fortunately, Bi Zaiyu brought out some of the refined steel in the Ming Sect, just to create a weapon for the brothers in the sect, and now it just came in handy.

When a spear with a golden rod, the thickness of an egg, and a length of eight feet appeared in Yue Wudi's hand, the corners of Yue Wudi's mouth lifted a smile, and he whispered to the golden spear: "You are called 'Huanglong'." ”

Qu San and the others were all stunned, and Bi Zaiyu also recovered from the ecstasy of wielding the drum urn and the golden hammer. They all understood that Yue Wudi gave such a name to the blade in order to remember the past when Yue Fei smashed the Yellow Dragon.

The sound of the horn outside the camp tent suddenly blew, and the desolate and heroic battle rallying cry resounded throughout the camp.

The army of 100,000 people, everyone showed an unbelievable look of joy, and they worked hard for six years. The combat ability is different from the past, but there has been no war for many years, so these brave men will inevitably have a feeling that heroes are useless.

And now, the horn of war has sounded, and everyone can't wait to put on their armor and swords, and assemble towards their respective generals' locations.

After the sound of the trumpet, it came to an abrupt end, and by this time the army of 100,000 had been assembled in an orderly manner. The mountains are full of spears and forests, and the armor is like clouds.

Han Yanxuan stood on the high platform, holding the horn of the secret system of the Ming Sect, and at the same time carried the internal strength, and said loudly: "Soldiers, this commander knows you and is eager to fight. Now, the battle is coming! The official has issued an order. Ordered us to be the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Northern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom. The old man Han Yanxuan is the commander-in-chief, and Xin Qiji is the supervising army.

The 100,000-strong army was suddenly full of emotion, and they all shouted loudly: "Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition!"

The hatred between Song and Jin has long been deep-rooted, and there are all the bloody people in the Song people. I don't want to eat the flesh of the golden man and drink the blood of the golden man.

Although the soldiers in these armies were cowardly and unbearable in the past, it was all caused by the military policy of the imperial court, and now because of the strong intervention of Han Yanxuan. After six years of hard training, they have long been eager for a battle to prove themselves, and Jin Guo is their best test object.

Seeing that the morale was available, Han Yanxuan nodded with satisfaction and shouted: "Let's go!" The army immediately marched and marched towards the north.

As soon as the army arrived in the territory of the Jin Kingdom, he heard the cheers of the Han people, Yue Wudi frowned slightly, it seems that the common people have never really given up on the Great Song Dynasty.

Shake your head, don't think about it anymore, let's settle the current battle first.

This is the frontier, the Jin country left here to garrison the border army will naturally not be less, there are 30,000 troops, seeing the Song Dynasty has always been weak, dare to fight against the Jin country without declaring war, the general who led the army was immediately furious, immediately led the army out of the city, 10,000 iron cavalry towards the 100,000 Song army like a tide.

The 100,000 Song troops were all infantry, and in the face of the 10,000 iron cavalry, the soldiers at the front suddenly changed color, and Han Yanxuan's voice spread far away throughout the whole army with the double help of the horn and internal strength: "Stop, five hundred steps, bed crossbow salvo!"

Hearing the mighty voice of his own commander like a god, Song Jun couldn't help but calm down a little, and the bed crossbow was pushed to the front.

When the forward troops of the Jin Iron Cavalry approached the distance of five hundred paces, under the order of the commander of the bed crossbowmen, the crossbow arrows suddenly shot out from the sky, all of which were the thickness of spears, and under the huge impetus of the bed crossbows, they easily pierced the Jin people and their horses several times, and the corpses were lying in the open space between the two armies.

Seeing such a scene, the 100,000 Song soldiers immediately cheered, and under the leadership of the Ming Sect disciples, everyone's shouts suddenly converged into a neat "Kill, kill, kill!"

The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were all colorless, and the leading general was also confused, when was the bed crossbow of the Song army able to shoot so accurately? When did the timid Song soldiers have such a strong morale?

A bad feeling suddenly lingered in the 10,000 gold soldiers and iron cavalry, although the leading general saw that the situation was not good, but at this time the arrow had been shot out, there was no reason to take it back, once retreated, the Song army chased the north, and the casualties were probably even greater.

At that moment, he could only shout stubbornly: "Don't be afraid, sons, kill! Defeat the weak Song army! There are countless gold and silver treasures in the Southern Dynasty, and the beauty of Aya Luo is waiting for us!"

It's just that among the 10,000 golden soldiers, no matter how loud his voice is, how many people can hear it?

On the way forward of the iron cavalry charge, under the fierce fire of the bed crossbow just now, the corpses of people and horses that had already been lying on the ground became an obstacle to the iron cavalry charge.

The iron cavalry of the Jin Kingdom had not rushed out a few steps, and the Song army on the opposite side shot a wave of crossbow arrows, which were as powerful as spears, even if the soldiers wearing heavy armor could penetrate three or five, not to mention these light cavalry who were good at mobility?

Under the second wave of crossbow arrows, the Jin Iron Cavalry fell a large number of corpses again, and most of the Jin cavalry, who had not experienced war for many years, were on the battlefield for the first time like the Great Song Army, and many people even vomited under such a bloody scene.

Under the orders of their respective generals, they had to brave the terrifying crossbow arrows on the opposite side to charge, and they all knew that they would inevitably die if they went forward, but they had to go forward one after another.

In just over a hundred steps, the iron cavalry of the Jin Kingdom lay down at least one or two thousand cavalry.

"Kill, kill, kill!" The devilish shouts of the Song army made the Jin soldiers even more frightened, and it was even more difficult to imagine why the legendary Song army, which had always been like sheep, would burst out with such high morale. Wouldn't they be scared when they saw such a horrific scene? Why did they still show such crazy expressions?

Looking at the demon-like expression of the Song army on the opposite side, as well as the more than a hundred cold bed crossbows, a heavy haze gradually shrouded the heads of the iron cavalry of the Jin Kingdom.

A partial general was frightened by the terrifying bed crossbow of the Song army, and asked the main general: "General, the bed crossbow of the Song soldiers is too terrible, let's defend the city, we can't get close to the Song army, no matter how strong our cavalry is, it's useless!"

"Shut up!" The main general's face was gloomy, he was a nobleman among the Jurchens, his ancestors were the founding heroes of the Jin State, and he grew up listening to how his ancestors broke the Liao army since he was a child, and the slaughter of the Song army was like a slaughtering dog.

"My golden iron cavalry is invincible and invincible!" the main general roared loudly, "I don't believe that the Song army's crossbow arrows are endless, and there will always be a time for him to finish shooting!"

The general sighed helplessly, and when the crossbow arrows of the Song army were fired, I am afraid that the ten thousand cavalry would almost be exhausted. Obviously, he could defend the city, so why should he take human lives to fill it? The general could not help but feel extremely resentful of this noble-born general.

However, no matter how angry it is, it is useless, the army will only listen to the orders of the main general, the iron cavalry continued to charge, and advanced more than a hundred steps, but within this distance, the power of the Song army's bed crossbow is even greater, and this hundred steps made the Jin State Iron Cavalry leave more than 2,000 corpses again!

The main general is no longer calm, after all, he, a nobleman, is not completely unlearned, and he also reacted at this time, simply charging from the front is pure suicide. At the moment, he ordered: "Separate the left and right flanks and attack from the flanks!"

At the sound of an order, the Jin Iron Cavalry reacted in a short time, and a thousand cavalry were separated from the left and right flanks, and they began to charge the Song army from the side.

Although the Song army's bed crossbow was infinitely powerful, it was also relatively difficult to move, so it was naturally too late to divide a part of the bed crossbow to deal with the cavalry outflanked by the two wings.

Cavalry has a natural advantage over infantry, and a thousand cavalry is enough to cross and cross among 10,000 infantry!

The lord of the Jin Kingdom seemed to have seen the iron cavalry on both wings kill the Song army on their backs, and then fly away, and then kill back again, that kind of happy scene.

However, what disappointed him was that after a short panic of the Song army, thousands of archers appeared on both wings, and after the cavalry rushed into a hundred paces, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and under several waves of arrows, nearly half of the cavalry was killed.

When the remaining half of the cavalry was in front of the Song army, the Song archers hid behind the large army and were replaced by groups of infantry and charged forward. (To be continued......)
