Chapter 3383: The attacker moves in the nine heavens, the army is like water, and the advance and retreat are impermanent
Therefore, the guards in Datong City ordered the artillery to open fire, because the generals of the Song army estimated according to time that the Mongolian army was likely to advance within five miles, just within the range of the artillery attack! So they emitted this large area of shaking the world, but the shells that were bombarded towards the open space in front... Amid the "hissing" sounds made by the sky, a smile appeared on the corner of the mouth, which was not as fast as the speed of the sky.
If such a foolish and unstoppable fool is defending Datong Mansion.
Then his plan to march into the Central Plains of the Song Dynasty after taking Datong was simply within his reach!... But at this moment, he suddenly found that the hissing shell did not fall a mile ahead of him.
Instead, he flew closer and closer to the position of the artillery team! After that, when a large scattering explosion started one after another from the Mongolian artillery team positions.
Subutai was like a bucket of ice water being poured on by someone in Sanjiutian, and his whole body was trembling! How could it be?
This is six miles away! At this time, the Subutai was completely confused! At this moment, he felt the strong wind blew on his face from the explosion of the shells, which hurt like a knife.
All around me were the sand and dust flying by the shock waves of shells.
At the artillery position ahead of him, after the shells exploded violently, the "jingle" sound made by the fragments hitting the iron cannon.
When the Mongolian army artillery that was blown away by the explosion fell to the ground, the sound of heavy ramming the ground, and the explosion of his own artillery shells exploded, it was already heard! Listening to the sound, the Song army had 100 artillery fired volleys, and they were impartially hitting their artillery positions! At this moment, Subutai was almost crazy! But when he looked into the distance, he found that besides the flames raised by the shells and the screams of the Mongolian army, only a large piece of smoke blocked his sight... Damn it was the smoke he set himself off! "Send four scout teams, rush through the smoke and see what's going on, and then quickly reward him!"
At this time, Subutai was furious and ordered his hand to slam the whip in the air, making a whip that slightly tore the air out!... After that, the horses of the four hundred-man scout team of Mongolian soldiers were shooting into the smoke in front of them like swords... Then Subutai heard another tragic explosion and flames flying in the artillery position in front of him! The Song army's artillery was still firing rapidly, plowing the iron artillery position that had been blown up again, but his scout team had just run in! I don't know how many more than 400 cavalry could survive in the smoke of shells?
This piece of shells that flew from somewhere fired three rounds in the Mongolian artillery positions.
After that, the bombs finally stopped.
Then not long after, Subutai heard a sound of horse hooves coming from the front.
As the north wind swelled, in the smoke he released himself in front of Subutai, hundreds of cavalrymen were running out of it in a mess.
At first glance, Subutai saw that many of these cavalry were injured.
Obviously, more than half of the 400 people he sent out just now were gone, and all those who had not returned were killed by the enemy's shells! Then the provocateurs ran over to Subutai crazy, and then they shouted loudly: "Master! The Song people's artillery is outside the city!"
"...They arranged artillery arrays two miles away outside the Datong city wall, four miles away from us!"
"What?"
After hearing this, Subutai felt a chill on his body instantly! At this moment, he was shocked and hated, so shocked that his army was four miles away from the enemy's artillery, which means that he himself was within the range of the enemy's artillery! Fortunately, it was blocked by smoke, and the artillery fire on the opposite side was directed at his artillery, otherwise he might have been killed by a cannon.
What he hated was that the Datong defenders had such courage to push artillery out of the city?
If there is no cover from the city wall, wouldn’t the enemy’s artillery be within the range of its own cavalry’s impact?
The smoke has not dissipated at the moment. Assuming that there are artillery on Datong City, it is impossible to support the Song army artillery under the city. This is an excellent opportunity to raid!... Thinking of this, Subutai ordered his troops, especially the 30,000 Mongolian troops he brought, to retreat two miles quickly to avoid the threat of artillery outside the city.
At the same time, he let the 20,000 Seminister Legion rush into the smoke and take the enemy's artillery position!... At this time, Subutai ran away in a mess, while watching two Seminister teams rush into the rolling smoke and rushing towards the Song army's artillery position in the south.
He gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.
Are the Datong Guards on the opposite side crazy?
He actually put the artillery team outside the city?
The reason why I didn't see the cannons just now was probably because the Song army dug deep trenches two miles below the city and ambushed the cannons inside.
Song Jun predicted that after the artillery on his side had been arranged, they would start to release smoke.
So the Song army took advantage of the smoke and blocked the Mongolian army's own view, pushed the artillery out and bombed in the direction of the Mongolian army's artillery team! In this way, the Song army certainly caused heavy damage to the artillery troops on their side.
But after that, the generals of the Song army also put their artillery team in a dangerous situation outside the city... Isn't this arbitrary death?
At this time, Subutai looked up and saw that there was still smoke rolling in front of him, which made him so angry that he stomped his feet! At this time, the Seminister cavalry, who were advancing along the smoke, were running forward desperately! They all saw the scene of the Song army's artillery bombing the Mongolian army's iron artillery position just now, and these Seminister were very clear in their hearts.
In the area where the Song army's artillery shells were raging, it was a hell of death! Only by forcibly passing through this area where the artillery shells were killed would they be safer.
Now these cavalrymen of the Seme Legion have all tried their best to speed up. After they charged forward for more than two miles, the smoke in front of them has become much thinner.
According to General Subutai's vision, after these cavalry rushed out of the smoke, they could kill into the enemy's artillery team as long as they rushed forward for a while.
By then, the Song army's artillery had completely become fish on the chopping board and could no longer resist the cavalry and charge! How quickly did the Semi-man's excellent war horse run?
The distance between these two miles is almost a blink of an eye, and they can rush to the enemy! Before that, the Song army's artillery might have time to fire one or two rounds.
However, the closer the Mongolian cavalry unit is to the enemy artillery team, the more difficult it is to exert the power of the artillery... Alas?
