Chapter 466

Human premonitions are sometimes wonderful.

At a distance of 600 steps, Yelimondo unscathed the shelling of the Song army.

What is the reason!

The Song army's artillery range cannot reach such a long distance.

In fact, this is not the reason. If the muzzle elevation angle is appropriate, you should be able to barely hit the shell in front of Yelimondo. However, doing so will greatly affect the subsequent shooting. For the Song army artillery, adjusting the muzzle elevation angle requires the blessing of experience, and their artillery does not have this function and requires bricks, which tests the soldiers' experience. As for theoretical knowledge, don't count on the heavenly books of trigonometric functions. Most Song army, who are difficult to write their own names, learn it, is more difficult than death. It is simply worse than death. In the end, life is worse than death.

Three hundred steps away.

According to the attack methods of the light cavalry, this distance is the distance at which the war horses begin to accelerate.

The Song army's artillery still did not move.

This made Yelimondo's heart illusion. Could it be that he really guessed it right?

But in his heart, Yelimondo was very panicked for no reason. After the Song army fired the shells, they did not pull the cannon away. Instead, after the cannon was operated violently, they held a torch waiting for the arrival of the Dangxiang cavalry. Even though Yelimondo didn't know what the cannon was, after seeing the lethality of the cannon, he always felt nervous that he was in danger of being at the gun. He carefully fiddled with the reins and let the horse move several positions while running. This inadvertent action saved him from the bloody disaster.

According to the previous attack distance of the Song army on Iron Harrier, three hundred steps, this was the distance from the first wave of artillery bombing. But facing him, the Song army did not launch an attack. Could it be that the Song army's new weapons are really useless?

He knew that the attack distance of shotguns was completely different from that of solid shotguns. Thanks to the actual combat experience of the artillery in the Battle of the Valley, the attack distance of 300 steps was not ideal for artillery shot damage.

One hundred and fifty steps!

The Dangxiang cavalry finally burst out with all speed, and a shout from the world roared like an avalanche.

And this distance is also the most ideal distance for shotgun attack.

Nian Xi decisively issued the order to ignite.

boom.

boom--

The shotgun was not as loud as the sound when the solid shot was fired, but the fire and smoke were exactly the same. Yelimondo, who was lucky enough to bury his head hard behind the horse's neck, hunched over all his body and tried his best to avoid it. While cursing Song Jun in his heart, he also secretly prayed not to win, not to win... There are so many poor experiences in winning the cannon and winning the prize.

Moreover, since the artillery appeared on the battlefield, its first opponent was the very difficult Iron Harrier. But even the Iron Harrier, which was once invincible in the battlefield in the eyes of the Dangxiang people, was beaten to the point of being weak by the Song army's new weapons.

Ye Limondo has also seen the projectiles attacking Iron Harrier. They are very powerful and very overwhelming. For heavy cavalry like Iron Harrier, protection is the most important means. Arrows fly over and bounce off; swords are useless; but if the mace is swung over, even heavy cavalry like Iron Harrier will not be able to bear it.

This is the destructive power brought by heavy weapons.

On the surface, the wound cannot be found, at most it will be bruised caused by a piece of blood stasis. However, the bones and internal organs in the body will be injured. On the battlefield, minor injuries are not scary, and knife injuries or arrow injuries are not scary. As long as the armor is neat and a close-fitting silk underwear is worn, many battlefield injuries can be minimized.

But in front of heavy weapons, it is useless. Serious internal organs will die. In fact, it means bleeding from internal organs. This is a fatal injury that even gods cannot save.

Herod

The writhing of the war horse made Yelimondo's heart sank, as if some unlucky guy was caught. But the sound in his ears was too frequent, right? Especially the dull sound of the war horse falling to the ground made him wonder at one point, why would he lose so much?

If most of the losses suffered by the Iron Harrier were caused by tactics and actions, in Yelimondo's opinion, the damage of the Song army's new weapons was not enough to cause his elite light cavalry to suffer a large number of casualties, which is why he was willing to lead the team to charge. A cannon can only fire one projectile. Although this weapon is powerful, even if all the cannons hit the target, how many can it be?

The Song army had only so many new weapons, only a hundred.

At most one hundred battle losses, Yelimondo is willing to bear this loss.

"Hurry up, pull back the artillery and make room for the infantry!"

As soon as the artillery was fired, Nian Xi pulled out his throat and ordered loudly. In fact, he didn't need to give the order. The artillery had known to pull the artillery and hide behind the infantry.

The artillery was fierce at the moment of firing, and at other times they were salted fish. The weakest troops on the battlefield could bully them at will.

Just after the artillery returned the artillery to the defense line, Yelimondo's cavalry had arrived. But when he tried hard to poke the spear in his hand, he found that there seemed to be a lot fewer people on his side. If the personal army had not been in front of him to help, he might have been in the rush.

"General, go quickly!"

After the personal guard shouted, he rushed his whole body towards the Song army. This also bought time for Yelimondo to escape. After he realized, he immediately threw the spear in his hand and stabbed a Song army. Then he found the right opportunity to jump off the horse and leave the place where the battle was fought. Only then did he realize that the number of people fighting with the Song army seemed to be half. Just when he was confused, he saw the war horses and soldiers lying on the ground on the charge route, and then suddenly awakened. This must have been done by the Song army's artillery.

"Retreat, withdraw!"

After his subordinates sent the war horses, Yelimondo immediately chose to retreat. His subordinates could no longer threaten the Song army's defense line, so it would be better to retreat and find a countermeasure.

Liang Yishu was extremely depressed under the leadership of Shuai. He watched Yelimondosa rush out, and saw Yelimondosa escaping back, and he was very busy as if he was busy at the market.

He understood that this was not Yelimondo's fault. But it is undeniable that this attack caused great trouble to the Dangxiang people.

Because Yelimondo was his last supporter of not retreating, if Dangxiang's army lost more than half of the loss, Liang Yishu would not have to worry about how powerful the Song army's offensive methods were, but should worry that his own army might mutiny anytime and anywhere. His army is not bad, and the army is also a relatively elite main force in Xixia.

If an army with lower combat effectiveness had been defeated, it would have been a long time since it was fought.

But what made Liang Yishu wonder was that after Yelimondo escaped, many of the injured war horses and soldiers on the battlefield escaped in a dizzy way.

It was a miracle that he did not die after being destroyed by artillery.

Yelimondo's first sentence when he saw Liang Yi was: "Sir, you must seize the new weapons of the Song army. Look at this, this weapon can fire two completely different sizes and numbers of projectiles. The large one can kill the Iron Harrier in an instant, but even if the light cavalry is hit a few times, it will not die as long as it is not injured in the vital points. However, in one shot, there is only one in the former, while the latter is as boundless as a celestial girl scattering flowers."

"Yes!" Liang Yishu took the shotgun projectile and looked at it carefully. At this time, Liang Yishu wanted to withdraw his troops. There was no way. Iron Harrier almost lost one quarter. Although the loss of 400 people was nothing to do with a battle of tens of thousands of people. But what was even more atrocity was that he could not win.

Could it be that he is really ready to go to prison when he returns to Lingzhou?

But he had to listen to Yelimondo's suggestions. Liang Yishu, a first-class general, would not doubt Yelimondo's vision. Even if the other party was more obedient, he would not mind handing over the command of all the troops to Yelimondo.

"That's it!"

Groping through the projectiles the size of fingernails in his hand, the rough feeling came from his hand. Liang Yishu was in a dilemma of choice: "Mondo, you should know that the soldiers are tired."

This sentence is completely a gild on one's face. What do soldiers already tired?

It’s because morale has fallen to a low point and I can’t hold on at all, okay?

But Yelimondo was still insisting, and he firmly believed in his judgment: "Sir, you have to know how threatening this new weapon in the Song army poses to our Daxia? Our cavalry can no longer gallop on the battlefield, but the infantry of the Song army can easily defeat our cavalry. You should know what this means."

"What does it mean?"

Liang Yishu really didn't know that there was a natural danger in the war between Xixia and Song, a big river.

If it doesn’t work, wouldn’t it be better to just return it?

Besides, Liang Yishu didn't think that relying on his identity could make the soldiers rekindled their morale. This was not realistic. Unless Yelimondo's tribe was allowed to serve as the main attacker, if Yelimondo wanted to use his own tribe as the main attacker, would he make arguing with him?

Liang Yishu, who felt something was wrong, was unwilling to admit his incompetence, and was also unwilling to continue to stalemate with the Song army.

If the reinforcements of the Song army come again, and the five thousand Song army and others can't deal with it, if another Song army comes, can he still escape?

After thinking about it, Liang Yishu could only ask Yelimondo directly: "General Mondo, don't go around in circles, tell me what you think."

"Use iron kites to disperse the charge, and the light cavalry followed closely, and finally use infantry to fill in the new weapons of the Song army. Don't have too many, just a few, take them back to Lingzhou and hand them over to the empress dowager and the court officials. Perhaps for our courageous face, we will not pursue the adverse consequences of our battle."

It doesn't matter to Yelimondo, he is not the leader. The crime of unfavorable combat will not fall on him.

But it is hard to say that Liang Yishu. Empress Dowager Liang must be the right-hand man when he supports him. If he has no credit, how can Liang Yishu be the most powerful official?

Liang Yishu did not agree.

But the Iron Harrier General Ekiman could no longer resist the shameless behavior of Yelimondo to let his Iron Harrier be cannon fodder, and cursed angrily: "Mondo, you and I are not in harmony, but you are friendly forces on the battlefield, and you ignore the interests of the Great Xia and look for opportunities to frame me everywhere. What a man, you and I will fight for a duel!"

Liang Yishu frowned slightly and scolded, "I'm full of cheating!"

"grown ups!"

But Liang Yishu was still lucky and asked in a low voice: "Isn't it okay to use a spy?"

This is also a way of thinking. The Song people had spies in Xixia. In fact, the Xixia Kingdom was no longer the Dangxiang people's Xixia, and Xixia also had a tendency to integrate ethnic groups. After all, it is absolutely impossible to change from a nomadic and semi-nova and semi-agricultural country today without ethnic integration. There are many Han nobles in Xixia, such as the Liang family, which is the blood of the Han people. But the Liang family now controls the government of Xixia and has a strong power. Even the Xixia royal family must avoid its edge.

There were many spies in the Western Xia in the Song Dynasty.

But in the same way, Xixia also planted many spies in the Song Dynasty.

Liang Yishu thought about letting spies bring this new weapon to Xixia from the Song people, which also avoided the casualties caused by another charge. After all, more than 40,000 people were almost half of the casualties. If they continue to fight, the ending may be in annihilation.

However, the suggestion was immediately refuted by Yelimondo. He pointed to the Song army's flag and asked Liang Yishu: "Master, do you think the Song people may have a spy entered into the Iron Harrier?"

Before Liang Yishu could speak, Erqiman jumped up and roared: "It's impossible."

"What do you think the Grand Commander?" Yelimondo didn't look at Eqiman, a guy with a simple head and a well-developed limbs. This guy is a powerful general, but he is just a powerful general. Yelimondo is the best among the young generals in the Dangxiang army, and the future prospects of the two are simply incomparable. For Eqiman, he will be promoted to the position of the Iron Harrier Commander at most, and what about him? In the future, he will be the commander who will command thousands of troops.

Liang Yishu was forced to ask, so he had to answer: "Iron Harrier is the personal army of the emperor, so naturally there is no spy. No matter how cunning the Song people were, they could not get in."

"Okay, Grandmaster, do you think the difference between Song Jun's flag?"

"It's a little different. Why is it yellow? Doesn't it matter?"

Liang Yishu said to himself, then looked at Yelimondo for unknown reasons, who sneered: "Master, this is the personal army of the Emperor of Song. Only the personal army of the Emperor of Song will hang the inlaid yellow dragon flag!"

"ah!"

Liang Yishu screamed in shock, Emperor Song's personal army, I'm afraid that the meticulous work will not be able to penetrate, let alone get back the new weapons of the Song army. This is not something that money can do.

But for Liang Yishu, the problem is not here. Why is no one telling him from beginning to end that the person who fought with him was the Song army's personal army?

This feeling is very bad, just like the Liang family deceived the Xixia Emperor in the Xixia Palace. However, the protagonist this time was not the Xixia Emperor, but him, Liang Yishu. He was like a big fool, deceived by his subordinates. Liang Yishu wanted Eqiman to pull down Yelimondo, the bastard, and cut him down directly.

But he also knew that killing a general in front of the formation would cause unstable morale. If he faced the army that was about to collapse, if he really wanted to do so, the army would be defeated immediately.

Liang Yishu looked at Yelimondo indecisively and suddenly asked, "So is it possible?"

"Impossible, how could there be five thousand men around the Emperor of Song? According to the customs of the Emperor of Song, with just a few men, the Emperor of Song had already escaped."

Yelimundo said confidently that he did not believe that the emperor of Song State returned to the northwest. In fact, since Emperor Zhenzong of Song State, the emperor after Song State had never appeared on the battlefield. Even Emperor Zhenzong was deceived out of the capital by Kou Zhun, Wang Dan and others. Zhenzong did not want to go to the front line at all. When he arrived in Tanzhou, he found that he could not go back and felt fear that the emperor's luck was taken away.

Liang Yishu thought about it and asked, "Mortality has been exhausted, what can I do?"

"Tell the soldiers that as long as they grab the new weapons from the Song army, no matter how many, they will go home immediately." Yelimondo said decisively.
