Chapter 96 What a ruthless Jurchen!
It's so miserable, this is a series of killing!
They were all killed in the battlefield, others became benevolent, gods and heroes, but Han Funu only felt that the old brothers under his command could only be "in series"... because they could not become benevolent, nor could they become heroes. Because they all betrayed the country and betrayed their ancestors' "traitors".
For example, Han Funu was named Yelu Funu in the Great Liao Kingdom because his "Yutian Han" was given the Khitan surname and was no longer a Han. Moreover, the Yelu family's court really treated them as trusted nations, and all kinds of treatments were comparable to the authentic Yelu Emperor clan!
But he followed his immediate superior. Yelu Yuji, who was born in the Yelu royal family, betrayed the Daliao and the Han family in Yutian. Now he is still regarded as a flesh shield against crossbow guns by the Jurchens... He wants to be ripped into pieces. Will the soul dare to meet his ancestors after death? Do you still have the face to go to the West? I am afraid you can only be a lonely ghost forever!
Thinking that he was so old that he was so glorious when he was young, but he might have to "sequence" when he was about to come, Han Funu was so unwilling to give up.
If I had known this day, I would have resolutely gone to the grassland to throw at Yelu Dashi!
That is what the younger generation of King Wen Zhong (Han Derang) who helped the emperor and slept with the queen mother should do!
Unfortunately, Han Funu has no chance now. Because two thousand real female soldiers are following him and his subordinates. If they dare to escape in the last battle, the Jurchen heavy arrows are not vegetarians.
Moreover, Han Funu's location avoided the front of the twenty eight-ox crossbows, so the probability of him "sequenced" is not high, and he is likely to continue to live in the world... Living is better than "sequenced"!
Just when Han Funu was thinking about continuing to live, he did not realize that a greater danger was coming!
Two rows of divine arm archers, half-kneeling in the front row and upright in the back row, the 1,000 divine arm arches in their hands were laid flat, and they all aimed at the gap between the large shields of the Jin soldiers in front... Because waves of crossbow guns were fired, many dying screams also sounded in the Khitans' front line, and the bloody temperature also drifted in front of the formation. A string of bodies rolling in their own pool of blood caused great chaos in the Khitans' front line. The shield formation that could have been barely formed loosely.
But the Jurchens behind them kept urging them to move forward faster, and the sound of the warlocks of life-seeking were tighter.
The Khitans, who were forced to do so, had to bite the bullet and speed up their progress. They saw that they ran faster and faster, their formation became more and more dispersed, and they were getting closer and closer to the Song army's front line!
The crossbow soldiers who controlled 20 divine arm crossbows saw that the situation was wrong, so they threw the crossbow and retreated first.
At this time, Li Xiaozhong had already retreated to his own formation. He stood behind two standing warriors holding divine arm bows, staring ahead with his eyes wide open and motionless.
The formation of the Jin soldiers in front was already chaotic, and they had already rushed to Li Xiaozhong within 50 steps.
Li Xiaozhong finally made a call: "Divine Arm Bow-Hair!"
The lingering sound of the command was still echoing, and the command soldiers following him had already sounded the "bangzi" with all their might, and as a result, the sound of the chuck came out.
Thousands of divine arm bows made a "tough" sound, and thousands of wooden feather arrows with characteristics were shot out by bowstrings made of hemp ropes!
The arrows of this wooden feather arrow are extremely sharp and hard, and have excellent penetration under the action of huge elastic force. The strong wooden shield is difficult to resist and has a certain chance of being shot directly!
If the wooden feather arrow was shot directly on the soldier's armor, even if there was a layer of armor and a layer of chain armor, it would be difficult to ensure that the warriors would not be injured... The Khitans who had already surged into a group were shot into the arrows one after another, and some people were shot directly into the vitals and fell down, while more people continued to move forward with injuries. Screams and roars sounded uncontrollably! The Khitans who had suffered the attacks of the Eight Niu Crossbow and the Divine Arm Bow were now like a group of prairie wolves who were angry with the pain, rushing forward.
And what greeted them was another round of volleys of the divine arm bow!
It turned out that the total number of soldiers commanded by Li Xiaozhong was 2,000, divided into four rows, the first two rows were responsible for shooting, and the back two rows were responsible for launching crossbows and launching arrows. The coordinated cooperation of the four rows of soldiers not only allowed the power of 2,000 divine arm bows as much as possible, but also retained the physical strength of the first two rows of soldiers - they had to pick up their spears to launch an assault on the enemy later, but they could not exhaust their physical strength.
When the crossbow faces the enemy, it usually stops with three shots. Now the tactic of "second-stage strike" is used, so the 1,000 crossbowmen under Li Xiaozhong shot a total of five shots and fired 5,000 wooden feather arrows.
Under the repeated attacks of forty or fifty eight-ox crossbows and 5,000 wooden feather arrows, the battle formations of the Khitans have become much sparse - some of them have been killed or injured, and their formation has become loose and chaotic.
"Collapse the bow - raise the gun!"
Seeing the enemy getting closer, Li Xiaozhong issued a new order. As soon as his order was released, the sound of the chung stopped abruptly, and replaced by a burst of rushing drums.
The drum advances, and the gold retreats.
The sound of drums sounded, which meant that the rushing formation was about to begin!
The soldiers under Li Xiaozhong put the divine arm crossbow on their backs, and then pulled out the spear or long-handled sword and axe inserted in the soil (the head of the big axe also has the spear tip).
At this time, the first drum was finished.
The teams of each team are starting to issue orders to complete the team and raise guns and axes. The teams have just completed the sorting of the drums, and the drums are ringing again, and they are louder and more urgent than the last time.
The second drum was the order to launch an impact. Two rows of spearmen and two rows of knife and axe drivers immediately shouted: "Kill..."
As the killing sounded, the charge of the Song army's spearman and the swordsman began.
What greeted these Han warriors was the heavy arrow shot from the Jurchen bow!
The 2,000 Jurchen soldiers led by Shioyama were behind the 2,000 Khitan soldiers commanded by Han Funu. With the Khitans as flesh shields, these Jurchens certainly don’t have to worry about “killing in a bunch”, nor do they have to be afraid of the wooden feather arrow shot from the divine arm bow, which is still very safe.
When the front row of the Song army launched a rush, Shi Yama immediately issued an order to stop moving forward and start shooting feather arrows. He pushed 2,000 Khitan Langs in front and "sequentially" and got wooden feather arrows. The main purpose of giving his Jurchen warriors the opportunity to kill the Song people with heavy arrows!
According to his calculations, as long as the Khitans fear the Jurchens were more afraid of the Song army than they feared the Song army, he could win at a very small price... Of course, the lives of the Khitans were not fate to him at all!
The heavy arrows shot out through the Khitans were actually not accurate, and the soldiers of the Song army were still moving quickly. However, the purpose of the Jurchens' archery was not to kill many people, but to "break up" the Song army's horizontal team. In the formation of infantry, individual bravery was not very effective, and maintaining the formation and exerting collective strength was the key.
Now the formation of the Khitans has been dispersed by the Baniu Crossbow and the Divine Arm Bow, and the Song army's array is still intact, so it is very likely that it will be defeated by a blow!
This is what Shiyama is most worried about, so he ordered his men to let out a few waves of arrow rain.
If the one who had been in the army that had received strict training today would not have any effect on his arrow rain disturbing the enemy. Unfortunately, Zhao Kai's army was formed too hasty and did not conduct good training and rectification (but it was still stronger than other Song troops). After several waves of arrow rain and some casualties, the 2,000 soldiers under Li Xiaozhong were also a little dispersed, but they were much stronger than the Khitans who were about to disperse and fight in a group!
Looking at the scattered formation of the Jin soldiers in front, Li Xiaozhong, who had already squeezed into the front row and was still taking the lead in charge with a special spear of 1,45 feet long, excitedly roared: "Kill, kill the thief and make meritorious!"
On his side, hundreds of men shouted in unison, holding spears tightly, and rushed forward, and in an instant, poking the entire row of loose Khitans on the opposite side!
The Khitan formations collapsed and collapsed under the impact of these Song army soldiers!
The Song army, who succeeded in one blow, also exposed the shortcomings of insufficient training and experience. After defeating the opponent, they did not immediately organize the team, and then took out the divine arm bow to shoot with the Jin soldiers, but spread out to chase the Khitans and cut the heads.
As a result, a good battle suddenly turned into a melee between the two armies!
And this is exactly what the Jin soldiers under Wanyan Shiya Yema were looking forward to!
Without waiting for Shi Yema to give orders, these Jin soldiers began to fire heavy arrows at the crowd in the melee with their Jurchen bows!
These Jin soldiers shot arrows very fast, and at this time they were not far from the battlefield where the melee was in battle, which was only twenty or thirty steps away, which was exactly the distance for heavy arrows to exert their power.
The arrows were like heavy rain, sweeping violently across the crowd in the melee. The soldiers on both sides were shot into arrows, and they were killed and injured!
The heavy arrows are blind, no matter who is the Han and who is the Khitan! Although the Jurchens were aiming at Song Bing, it is inevitable to shoot by mistake... So this wave of heavy arrows has a little different meaning of hitting. Even Yelu Yuji's confidant Han Funu was penetrated by a heavy arrow. The severe pain made him unable to hold the mace in his hand anymore. He just stumbled and wanted to retreat. However, the Song soldier in front of him did not allow him to escape. The hammer in his hand swung over mercilessly and gave him a slam in the chest.
Now Han Funu could no longer stand firm and fell down. The blood in his mouth blew. His eyes were facing a group of Jurchens who were shooting archery wildly - what a cruel Jurchens!
