Chapter 181 The Harvester of Life
Song Chen still urged to continue on the road. He was a little worried about the No. 4 Highland. If he lost that place, there would be serious consequences.
Now it is only ten miles away from the No. 4 Highland. Song Chen is very careful and stops the team and goes to check for any abnormalities in person. Everyone says that Song Chen is too cautious, but in fact he is too suspicious.
But he guessed it right. When he advanced a few miles, he found that the wolf smoke flag was raised above the high ground, indicating that he was in a state of combat at this time. This was the flag saying that Song Chen had already agreed with the garrison guards.
OK, Song Chen quickly retreated.
However, he faced a big problem, which was to detour other high grounds, but he could not do it as he watched the high ground fall, but the wings he led had no combat power at all.
Even if they had artillery, were there any city walls here to defend and fight against the Mongols in a field? Song Chen knew that it was a lifeless thing. Even now, there was no army in the Southern Song Dynasty that could fight against the Tartars head-on.
Don’t forget that he has twelve artillery in his hands and 10,000 shells. If he doesn’t dare to attack, then he is still a time traveler or a Song Chen, attack!
Song Chen forced Li Xiaofei and the others to a safe place, and then sent Tian Xiaobao to Ezhou with his seal to ask for help. He didn't expect anything. Even if Gundam was enlightened and didn't delay it at all, it would take two days for reinforcements to arrive at the earliest.
He could not pin his hopes on reinforcements, so Song Chen still decided to start a war, afraid that he would be a bad omen.
Two miles from the enemy, this was the previous Highland No. 4, and they had to quietly build fortifications here, set up cannons, and adjust them.
Song Chen was making a big bet. If the gunners and artillery he trained were captured by Mongolia, there would be no suspense in this life-and-death battle between Song Meng.
But he is a person who dares to place bets, and luck seems to be on his side.
Song Chen completed this almost impossible task and quietly built the fortifications under the noses of the Mongolians.
"58.5 degrees, prepare, launch!" Song Chen slowly raised his hand over his head. He knew that if he put his hand down, the Mongolians who reacted would lean on this side like a rush, and then he was really betting on his life.
He still put down his hand, and twelve shells flashed through the sky, making a howling sound, and flew towards the target.
During this attack, the Mongolian Baihu Ali was also a navy army. Although he was a navy army that lost his ship, he was sent to attack the forward as a punishment.
He had no complaints. He knew that this time he sent 10,000 people to attack this small base with less than 500 people, and that was a matter of being able to capture it, but he guessed it wrong.
It was simply a lump of iron here, with fortifications built by something called cement everywhere. Although there were few defenders inside, they were all full of fighting spirit.
When they rushed to the range of No. 1, countless bullets suddenly roared by their side, and finally rushed to the fort within a hundred steps. Even the Song people had a few beards on their bodies, and they could see clearly that there were countless rains of arrows to greet them at this time.
Many robes fell around me, and screams came from time to time, because a lot of tincture oil was poured on the road, and fire was on fire everywhere.
Despite this, they were very confident in the charge. This time, the main general Ali Hague sent a total of 2,000 soldiers.
Moreover, during these three hours, the attack on the fortress had never stopped. The Song army inside was already showing signs of fatigue, and the gunshots were much less sparse than before.
Their side had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers and could attack in turn. The Song army had to go all out every time. After three hours of intensive attacks, they didn't even have time to take a breath.
Even if the fortification is built strongly, they can still take it down. More than ten troops have rushed in, and the people behind are still following us.
Unfortunately, he was not the first person to break into the fortress. Ali was still a little unhappy, otherwise he would have a high reward. He would have a chance to work harder himself. He rushed in earlier and killed more Song people, which would also have great military achievements.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a huge whistling sound passing over his head, shaking his eardrums trembled, and the air around him was twisted. It was an invisible force that pushed him to the ground.
Before they came to their senses, there was another loud noise. These Mongolian soldiers understood what was going on. The Song people had a huge killing weapon.
Because the passage here is very narrow and there are cliffs on one side, the formation of the Mongolian army is very dense, and Song Chen's artillery shells are simply the harvester of life.
After a shot, these frightened soldiers fled in scattered and pushed others, which actually caused a stampede accident.
Many people were squeezed under the cliff. Song Chen was very satisfied when he saw this situation in the monocular telescope. The artillery had achieved such a lethality far exceeded his expectations.
The third and fourth shots, and the fifth shots, Song Chen ordered the bombardment to stop because the Mongols had been repelled.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to kill the enemy, but that he must adjust the shelling angle when killing the enemy, which takes a certain amount of time.
Ali Hague shouted angrily, "Those who take another step back die."
But no matter how he yelled, the morale of the army had dispersed and the group of soldiers fled back to death.
It cannot be said that these soldiers are as timid as mice because they have never seen the power of artillery and the scene of the robes flying everywhere, which has penetrated everyone's defense.
Wherever the shell landed, it became a big pit. The person who was hit had his limbs separated, his head, hands and feet were all over the sky, and the living people were bathed in the blood rain.
The battlefield was very narrow, and almost everyone was crowded, and there was no room for people to free up, which inevitably caused panic...
A Han soldier's head fell to the ground and rolled several steps away. He was not killed by cannons, but was chopped by Ali Hague. This was the fifth one, but he did not curb the sergeant running backwards.
The howling sounded again.
"Damn it, flash!" Ali Hague understood that this was the sound of the shells, and immediately jumped into a previous crater and narrowly avoided the disaster.
The two personal soldiers next to him were unable to react in time and were already dead.
"Get off the troops!" Ali Hague shouted. He didn't really pull back. He wanted to see where the weapon that made them unable to raise their heads was.
The quality of the Mongolian army is still there. The military orders given by Ali Hague are not difficult to accept. They want to project the "fireball".
These people leaned on the side of the mountain in tacit understanding. The process of walking was occasionally hit and no longer caused great panic.
