Chapter 437: Hot Wu Era
One hundred steps, the archer shot, and a Dangxiang man dropped his war horse, screaming and drowned in his iron hooves like rolling thunder.
At eighty steps, the crossbow began to shoot. The unlucky crossbow Dangxiang cavalry dropped their war horses. Unfortunately, Li Kui had too few crossbowmen, and the number of people was less than one commander.
At fifty steps, the Dangxiang people began to ride and shoot, but more Dangxiang people gave up this kind of attack method that was ineffective, shouting the brave howling of their nation, and the scimitar in their hands circled with their wrists in mid-air.
Thirty steps...
Musket shooting!
Boom boom boom boom
After the flames, there was a sound like thunder. The stones and iron balls rushed towards the attack formation of the Dangxiang people with the scorching heat of the flames.
Herodian.
The smoke passed, and the infantry who acted as spearmen were surprised to find that the Dangxiang people in front of them became much thinner.
kill!
The whole army roared, and the cold iron spear stabbed the Dangxiang people's war horses. The war horses fell one by one, and the Dangxiang's cavalry was suppressed by the dense gun array. The two sides entered a close-range battle in an instant.
The infantry formation is intensively shaped against the cavalry formation. The effect of a three-meter-long spear stabbing towards the cavalry is not beautiful, because it is too close. Even if the cavalry is stabbed to death and falls off the horse, the high-speed running war horse can still cause huge trouble to the infantry formation. Even if there are short walls formed by shields, can people withstand the impact of war horses?
But the spear is different. The characteristic spear rod is split into thin strips with long bamboo. After being polished by craftsmen, dozens and hundreds of thin strips are soaked and tied up to become the prototype of a gun rod. Then it is wrapped in velvet cloth and soaked in tung oil. After a year or even longer, the toughness of the bamboo is maintained while increasing the strength of the gun rod.
This kind of long-handled weapon was popularized in the Central Plains since the pre-Qin period. Qin State, which fought against the Six Kingdoms, did the best in this regard.
It is not that using ready-made trees as gun rods is not useful, but that this kind of gun rod can't resist the impact of war horses at all, and it will break before it even penetrates.
However, the gun rod produced by the fabrication has elasticity, toughness, and higher strength. When the gun handle is pressed on the ground, it can easily use the sprint of the war horse to penetrate the body of the war horse, but the gun rod will not deform and damage. The reason is like a chopstick and a chopstick.
General Dangxiang rode on his horse and saw his subordinates rushing towards the Song army, approaching, approaching, and getting closer. Just when he thought he was going to harvest a victory and massacre, he was shocked by the loud sound of the musket.
The next scene, the out-of-control war horses and the screams of the Dangxiang cavalry, made him feel even more heartbroken. These are all his tribes!
Every adult warrior is the cornerstone of his in Xixia. Death will make him heartbroken.
But what surprised him was that the new weapons taken out by the Song army seemed to have established a huge role in the beginning of close combat. The cavalry's charge was easily taken by the Song army. More and more Dangxiang cavalry approached the line of battle between the two sides, waiting for the front cavalry to completely break through the Song army's defense line.
Once the infantry's defense line is broken, facing the impact of two or three thousand cavalry, it can only become cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and there is no other possibility at all.
However, what they did not expect was that they did not wait for the cavalry to attack the loosening of the front line, but waited for the Song army's arrows.
Li Kui stood on a high place with a serious matter, took his six-stone heavy bow, and shot it out with a whistle arrow. Then he shouted: "Quick Fire."
The row of arrows inserted on the ground in front of the Song army's archers were quickly picked up and shot out. As long as the speed was fast enough, even if there was only one bow or a pot of arrows, it could still shoot out the momentum of the scattered flowers of the Heavenly Girl. Just like Shi Wengong's seven-star arrow, it was his unique skill. Pang Wanchun's ten-star pearls were even more death-demanding talismans that most powerful generals could not escape.
Of course, the imperial guards in the Beijing camp are not as good as these two.
But the archer training also started in three years and was successful in six years.
Training an archer requires much more resources than training a crossbow archer. Although the Divine Arm Bow is very powerful, the biggest advantage of a Divine Arm Bow is that it has strong enough strength and a accurate head is already a qualified Divine Arm Bow archer. Even the value of a Divine Arm Bow is higher than that of a crossbow archer.
It takes at least three years and hundreds of processes to make the divine arm bow, but not hundreds of silos, which is why the Song army can afford the divine arm bow, and even if the Xixia and Khitan have the drawings for the divine arm bow, they cannot afford it.
Don’t think that the Divine Arm Bow drawings are protected by the Song army like their lifeblood, but is it normal to lose a few of them on the battlefield of tens of thousands of people?
Xixia and the Song Dynasty fought for decades, and it was very common to seize a few.
It is precisely because of knowing the cost of the Divine Arm Bow that Dangxiang talents are desperate.
The archer held his breath and shot out half of the arrows inserted on the ground in one breath. After the shot was finished, he gasped one by one, sweat oozing out from his forehead, feeling like he had been hollowed out, and his eyes were sitting on the ground with dejected dejectedness.
With one or two thousand arrows falling, only one hundred Dangxiang people might have been injured, or even fifty.
But this was enough. In the stalemate between the two sides, the Dangxiang people suffered another loss. This gave the infantry enough time to rectify the formation. On the contrary, after the Dangxiang people's war horses stopped, it was absolutely impossible to start attacking again.
The Dangxiang soldier sitting on the horse roared and waved the scimitar in his hand.
On the contrary, Song Jun easily used the long-handled weapon in his hand, like a ripe peach, and one stab at the next right.
As long as the Dangxiang people who were stabbed off the war horse had no chance to shout, they would kill Song Jun, who was holding the shield.
A battle between cavalry and infantry, after the Dangxiang people lost the initiative on the battlefield, the balance of victory tilted in the direction of the Song army.
Li Kui felt the blood in his body boiling, and he shouted to the drummer with red eyes: "Bang the drum, counterattack."
While speaking, he secretly picked the Ghost King Axe from the spare horse.
Leaving the command position.
He crossed the crossbow formation and then sneaked into the vicinity of the spearmen.
At this time, a war horse of the Dangxiang cavalry broke through the infantry in blood. Seeing this, Li Kui stared at him and roared: "Looking for death!"
Dangxiang's soldier was injured, and the stinging pain in his body stimulated him to yell and rushed towards Li Kui. Li Kui dodged to avoid the slash of Dangxiang's cavalry. He waved his tail and smashed his people and horses to the ground with an axe, just like a god descending to earth. After being shocked, the Song army around him flattered loudly: "Zhi Sei Majesty!"
Li Kui ignored these things and rushed into the small gap torn by the Dangxiang cavalry. One man and two axes went as messy as a hurricane.
Li Kui became more and more fierce as he killed, and was completely immersed in the close-killing charge.
Ruan Xiaoer led Li Kui's war horse over in time. This guy was able to make a fuss. He touched a red tassel spear, squinted his eyes and stabbed him easily, and killed a Dangxiang man with great pleasure.
Li Kui dropped his axe, jumped onto the war horse, and shouted: "Dangxiang people are no longer successful, let me kill them!"
General Dangxiang had never seen infantry chasing cavalry in his life, but this time, he had the honor to meet him. Faced with the embarrassing escape of his subordinates, he simply said in a deep voice: "Ming Jin to withdraw his troops!"
Dangdangdangdangdangdang.
Dangdangdangdangdangdang.
The Dangxiang people called Jin to withdraw their troops, and the Song army also called Jin to withdraw their troops. The order was given by Gao Qiu. After all, even if he lacked experience in the battlefield, he knew that infantry chased cavalry, fifty or one hundred steps, but if he had a mile or two, the infantry wearing armor would not be killed by the enemy.
Although he made the correct order, Gao Qiu, who ordered Li Kui, could not help but be afraid. If he made a mistake, missed the opportunity to fight and was beaten, it would be a small matter for the Song army to ruin the good situation.
Fortunately, Li Kui seemed very happy and said to Gao Qiu with a smile: "Gao Qiu, you kid are already like a general."
"I did nothing wrong?"
"You think I'm stupid!"
Gao Qiu clearly didn't believe in Li Kui, and he couldn't deceive himself with a confused look. But he saw Li Kui rushing out without saying a word and rushing into the crowd of Dangxiang people. This can't deceive people, right?
But does he dare to say it?
Gao Qiu secretly glanced around him. No matter which country the soldiers were from, they would not dare to say that they could kill everyone's loyalty, but at least almost everyone regarded Li Kui as a beacon, pointing to wherever they rushed. Gao Qiu felt sour when he saw this scene: "These bastards, I am your superior! Li Kui is a civil servant, and this guy is a civil servant. Even if you want to surrender to Li Kui, you will not have a chance."
Gao Qiu could only say this secretly in his heart. If he wanted to say it, he would definitely not dare. If he didn't want the soldiers to mutiny, he would still need to prepare for Li Kui as his deputy.
At least in the northwest, in Gao Qiu's army, I'm afraid it will never be able to reverse it.
"Renjie, please take off your armor and see if you are injured?"
"What, Lord Zhimi was injured?"
"Military doctor, where did he die?"
Li Kui yelled: "Who is yelling at the eye? Who said I was injured? I'm fine?" As he spoke, he pulled off the cloak on his body. This thing was very annoying on the battlefield and was also very cumbersome, but he found a cut-out hole on the cloak. Li Kui twisted his shoulders and lowered his waist, and then smiled and said: "Dangxiang people are too weak, and I don't even feel it when they cut on the armor."
"Zhi Secretly Powerful!"
"The Song Dynasty will win!"
Cheers rang out in the Song army's army and echoed in the camp in an instant.
And in the Dangxiang army, General Dangxiang asked the officer who had returned from his troops: "What exactly is the person who smokes in the Song Dynasty?"
The subordinates were prepared for it, and took out the iron balls that were picked from a dead war horse and placed them in General Dangxiang's hand. The latter stared at the iron balls in his hand, and hesitated and said, "What is this?"
"Iron Pill, General. This is the projectile ejected by the Song army monster. Some of them are iron Pills, and some are stones."
General Dangxiang was a little confused and repeated: "Stone, what kind of stone?"
"It's the stones on the ground."
The area they are located is a re-washed river valley. During the flood season when the rainy water is abundant, the river water will overflow the river beach. The stones washed down the upstream will be covered with the river water. They can use stones as weapons to make it difficult for General Dangxiang to accept. Isn’t this thing used to wrap sheep when she is sheeping, and can it be used to kill people?
The answer is certainly yes.
The subordinates did not seem to feel the abnormality of their generals, and said to themselves: "From the description of the surviving men, this weapon is a bit like the surging musket used by the Song army when they defended the city a few years ago. However, after the surfing musket was made, it was not Mars, but this kind of stone. The surfing musket was completely ignored, but the war horses could not stand it. But the iron ball was different. It could penetrate deep into the body and the armor was difficult to resist."
"But the Song army seems to be inadequate. The large-scale rifle guns are insufficient, and the lethality is just that. The most injured warriors were assassinated by the Song army's spear. If such injuries are caught, there will be no chance of survival if they are caught."
When General Dangxiang heard his subordinates say that the secret weapon of the Song army was just that, he felt relieved.
On the battlefield, I am most afraid of encountering secret weapons that I have never seen before. No one knows whether this new weapon is like a god-arm bow, which can't even stand the iron kite, or something like a storm that can scare people and burn people to a big scar. The Song people used to play with gunpowder, and they used to play with gunpowder. The stars in the sky, enlarged versions of the second kick, and all things are moved to the battlefield, which is unreliable like the New Year. Only when siege, gunpowder is placed in a jar and thrown off the top of the city can cause casualties. The Xixia people don't take other weapons seriously.
Although the Dangxiang people suffered nearly 300 casualties in one attack, this is not a very exaggerated number for nearly 3,000 cavalry.
The Dangxiang people's courage was not lost. The next attack was already being prepared. Even General Dangxiang made a desperate bet, preparing a team of thousands of people in three echelons, not giving the Song army time to rest, and was determined to take down the Song army in one breath. Through the escaped Dangxiang soldiers, they reported that the Song army had cavalry, with a small number of about two or three hundred cavalry.
And this cavalry never appeared, which made General Dangxiang feel a little scared. They could not wait to continue to consume with the Song army.
The Song army formation was restored again, but Li Kui frowned slightly when he heard the statistics brought by Gao Qiu. The spear had damaged nearly fifty spears, and they only had 300 spears to stop and kill war horses. This weapon was useless in normal times, and the Song soldiers could not take the turn. It was too heavy, but at critical moments, it was something to save their lives.
The main gun array is, and Li Kui can use muskets, bows and crossbows to continuously kill Dangxiang people.
But once the gun formation lost its function, the shield soldiers could not stop Dangxiang's cavalry attack at all, and behind them were crossbow soldiers who could only give their heads in close combat. Moreover, he also learned from Gao Qiu that the lethality of the musket was insufficient. There were only a few dozen Dangxiang people who died under the musket, which disappointed Li Kui a little.
He also knew that the attack power of stones as ammunition was worrying. He stared at the cavalry of the Dangxiang people and Li Kui ordered: "Don't throw away all stones and change all the muskets into iron balls."
Gao Qiu said worriedly: "Renjie, we don't have many iron balls. If we really use up all of them, the musket will be a copper lump and it will be useless."
Li Kui was in a hurry to see the crisis, and fisted and said, "Don't worry, let's talk about it all."
