Chapter 375 Kublai Khan Comes

The explosion was very sudden and loud, which shocked the fierce Liu Heima.

"boom!"

Accompanied by the violent explosion, the stone bridge flew into the sky like a paper-made thing. In the dark smoke and fire, the Han soldiers on the bridge flew everywhere with the stones.

The bridge is made of stone, and the craftsman cleverly built an arch with superb skills. The explosives are probably buried at the highest point of the arch. Here is the stress point of the entire bridge. With the minimum amount of explosives, the best results can be achieved.

Therefore, the effect is very good. A stone as big as a millstone flew out about ten feet and hit the head of an unlucky soldier in front of Liu Heima.

The bloody rain in the sky shocked the Han soldiers who were fighting with the dense sharp arrows in the river. They stopped their staggering steps in a daze, staring at the gravel stones and human flesh falling from the sky, and were stunned.

No wonder they were stunned. It was the first time they had witnessed such a shocking scene in their short life.

The use of firearms in the Song Dynasty has a long history, but for the Song people, there were not many people in the northern nomadic peoples even lit firecrackers. Moreover, when using gunpowder on a large scale, in the eyes of many people, such a sudden and unpredictable explosion must have been caused by thunder falling.

The locusts and arrows behind the wooden wall are not scary. They are shot by humans. Everyone is the same in flesh and blood. When fighting, they fight to the death and bravery and tenaciousness, but the sky thunder is different.

Can humans fight against heaven? Can they fight against gods?

Even the shaman closest to the Heaven of Changsheng on the grassland, when talking about the thunder, he always looked serious and showed fear, looking around, fearing that he would be punished by God.

The primitive threat was the most terrifying. Although the Han soldiers did not believe in shamans, they were also afraid of terrible things they didn't know. When the falling stones began to hit people's heads, most of them shouted and turned around and ran away.

The sharp arrows scattered behind the wooden wall followed their backs.

Liu Chongjin's boots were never pulled out. The mud was too deep and sticky. He could not help but use his strength to feed himself. Finally, he pulled out his feet and his boots came out.

He just cursed barely, waving his knife to warn the people around him not to retreat, while running backwards with deep and shallow feet. When he retreated, he did not forget to put the shield behind him, bowed his head in a hurry, and protected his body.

In fact, he was secretly glad in his heart that he had not attacked the stone bridge, and it didn't matter if he threw a boot, but it would be worth losing his life like the guy who attacked the stone bridge.

More than two thousand Han soldiers went out and died in the river, and the rest were defeated like the water of the ebb and rushed back.

The time before and after was only a quarter of an hour.

The supervisory team standing on the shore was also at a loss by the explosion. Facing the Han soldiers who had retreated without permission, they looked back at Liu Heima.

Liu Heima had a dark face and his palm was almost about to come out of water.

Of course he knew what was going on. It was definitely not a thunder that landed on the ground, but a large amount of gunpowder explosion.

When the Jin Dynasty attacked Caizhou, the last capital of the Jin Dynasty, the Jin people were guarding the city and crying while fighting. Blood covers the sun and black clouds destroy the city. In order to resist the Mongolian army, they used a large number of firearms from Song Guoxue. Liu Heima saw the power of firearms with crackling sounds.

A wooden thunder thrown by the Jin people from the city wall killed more than 100 dead soldiers who were charging in front of Liu Heima.

Unexpectedly, in this remote wilderness of the Hanshui River Valley, you can even see such a level of gunpowder use.

This is not something that only scattered soldiers can have.

Liu Heima knew that gunpowder was not only difficult to make, but also expensive, so how could a bandit and a bandit have such a thing?

Who is the army behind the wooden wall? I can calm down and wait until my soldiers get close to the extreme distance before attacking. My calm demeanor is close to the old soldiers of the battle.

"Brave the horn, stop the army!" Liu Heima squeezed out a few words from his teeth and pulled his horse back.

The trumpeter beside him immediately took out the horns that had been prepared, and bulged his cheeks and blew a low trumpet to withdraw his troops.

The sound of the trumpet made the supervisory team feel relieved. They were also scared. If Liu Heima refused to retreat, it would be their turn to go if all the soldiers in front died.

What if there is another thunder in the sky?

Wanyan Chengsi stopped the bowstring that was slightly hot, and looked at the Han soldiers running farther and farther through the hole that was one foot square, laughing, feeling happy and surprised.

He couldn't remember how many arrows he shot out in the short time. Anyway, in the basket beside him that could hold about a hundred long arrows, there were not many long arrows left. Most of the arrows shot out hit the target. He was very happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw the Mongolian army that was shot to make the wolf run and the pig.

The right arm feels sore, swelling, and tingling with the left arm are all sequelae of the short-term power outbreak. It is not to be afraid, and you will get better after a rest.

What surprised him was the arch bridge with two stakes that had been blown up on the shore, the bridge built with stones, and the bridge that could not be smashed with a sledgehammer, was gone.

The large and small stones floating in the river are still vivid in my mind, and the corpses flowing with the waves are even more showing the domineeringness of gunpowder with blood.

In the past, the Zhongxiao Army mainly used cavalry and shooting, and did not have a deep understanding of firearms. They thought it was just a secondary thing to strengthen when defending the city. When I saw it today, I realized that if I used it properly, it would be comparable to a magical tool.

Seeing Liu Heima's brigade retreating, and the river of blood flowed into the Han River, he jumped off the platform beside the wooden wall and ordered his subordinates to change and rest, and then quickly let the people in the military and soldiers go out and pack up the arrows all over the ground. These arrows can be used again after recycling. During this process, if you find that someone who fell to the ground is not dead, you can finish the attack.

"No need to keep a living person." Wanyan Chengsi reminded, showing a cruel sneer: "We won't capture prisoners."

...

As soon as Liu Heima retreated, he retreated for about ten miles.

The count of the number of people was found, and more than 2,000 people lost four or five hundred, of which only about ten were killed because the bridge was bombed. The rest of the casualties were all because the army was in chaos and the army was shot to death by arrows or drowned in the river when it fled.

Liu Heima's liver was trembling.

These are all my fucking elites. They died so unknown, and they didn't even see the enemy. What a fight!

"Drag all these people down and chop them down!" He angrily blew on several scouts and issued an order angrily: "This guy, the bird man, is not careful in doing things, has no idea of ​​finding out the news, which will frustrate our army and lose his life, so he will not be able to keep him!"

The scout took the blame and was dragged away crying.

Liu Heima was still angry and sat in a temporary tent and thought about it. He recalled the battle situation just now. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more he was more shocked. Such a garrison and such a tactic were not like bandits and soldiers living in a scattered land, which clearly showed the power!

But who are they? The ones who were beaten on the flag were clearly Jurchen, and Liu Heima recognized it. After all, in his early years, he was also considered a subject of the Jin Kingdom.

After thinking about it, I couldn't understand it. When I was depressed, it was getting late. He was about to have supper when he saw the guards outside the door rolling in and shouting: "His Highness Kublai Khan is outside the camp!"
