"Han Duhu, the enemy has entered the shooting range!" Geng Zhu said nervously.

Han Shizhong did not give the order, because the heavy cavalry had not yet started charging at this time, and the time buffer was sufficient.

After waiting for half a minute, Han Shizhong gave the order: "Fire!"

As soon as these two words were spoken, his mind went blank.

The messenger immediately went to wave the flag.

The artillerymen of the first platoon began to fill the shells.

The structure of the Crouching Tiger Cannon is very simple. It is a small copper tube, held up by two legs, facing upward at an angle of about 30 degrees.

Its effective range is approximately more than three hundred meters.

But if we really want to have large-scale destructive power, we really need to wait a little longer.

At this time, the Jin Army's heavy cavalry had entered within a range of 300 meters.

At this distance, the cavalry has already entered a small trot from normal walking speed, warming up for the charge.

The distance is getting closer quickly.

I don’t know who was the first to shout: “Charge!”

The first row of horses of the Jin Army neighed and immediately began to charge forward. The terrifying momentum spurted out like lava.

And here, the Song Army's first Tiger Crouching Cannon was also fired in the mountainous area of ​​Liaodong.

I saw an iron ball tearing apart the wildly dancing wind and snow, drawing a sharp arc in the air, and roaring towards the heavy cavalry of the Jin Army in front.

Perhaps on an open plain, if this shot is fired, there is a high probability that it will fail.

But at this time, in such a dense frontal charge formation of the Jin army, the probability of being defeated was almost less than 1%.

With a bang, the iron cannon hit a man wearing armor.

The terrifying power instantly poured into the body of the cavalryman like a waterfall.

The armor shattered in an instant, the flesh and blood rotted, and the bones were broken. Before even a scream could be heard, the man had fallen off the horse and was missing.

A total of ten such iron cannons flew over immediately, and almost all of them hit the cavalry frenzy.

Each shot can directly kill a cavalryman.

Some iron cannons even hit the horses' heads, and the horses immediately fell to the ground with a cry.

The Jin army did not realize what happened at all, and the horses behind them immediately leapt over.

The large troops continued to charge forward.

However, as the sound of artillery fire from the Song Army came one after another, dozens of dense iron balls appeared in the sky.

They were leaning towards the Jin Army's heavy cavalry one after another.

I saw that a certain part in front of the torrent of Jin army's heavy cavalry was collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Yes, it's collapsing.

The one behind was caught off guard and tripped over the dead horse and fell to the ground.

The war horses behind wanted to jump over, but as the number of war horses at the end increased, the difficulty also increased.

What's even more frightening is that this blow from the sky shocked the Jin army.

A hammer blow was given to Jin Junjun's heart.

More directly, it frightened the war horses.

Upon seeing this, Han Shizhong immediately shouted: "Stop cooling down! Keep firing!"

"Han Duhu, if you don't cool down, you will..."

"This is an order!"

Seeing that the Jin Army's heavy cavalry was still charging forward, the Song Army immediately started loading the second batch of artillery pieces after firing the first batch.

Bang bang bang...

The second batch soon followed.

Jin Jun did not expect that a second equally terrible attack would come so soon.

When the steel falls like heavy rain, no matter how sophisticated the armored cavalry is, it collapses like rotten wood.

However, the Song army also paid a price for this.

Three squatting tiger cannons exploded on the spot, killing seven artillerymen on the spot.

At this time, more than 60 Jin Army cavalry were directly killed, and more than 100 cavalry were tripped.

There were nearly two hundred riders behind who were blocked.

There were only 500 hard troops in total, and when they were cut off, the horses behind them were so frightened that they had a stress reaction on the spot, became manic and restless, and some even stopped uncontrollably or simply turned around and ran back.

The ones behind were also in a mess.

Han Shizhong did not order any more cannon fire.

If you fire the cannon again, more will be exploded.

If the temperature hadn't been so low, there would have been more explosions in the second shot.

The cavalry behind the Jin army was in chaos. No matter what the cavalry ordered, the horses no longer obeyed.

This means that it is no longer possible to charge.

Only the hundreds of cavalry in front were still charging.

The distance finally got closer.

These more than a hundred cavalry rushed into the Song army's formation.

The iron spear pierced the iron armor of the Jin Army's war horse, the war horse stepped on the Song Army's iron shield, and the Jin Army's mace hit the Song Army's helmet.

The Song army then hit the horse's head with a heavy hammer. The armor shook, the horse's skull was shattered, and bone slag splashed out from the gaps in the armor.

Between the impact of the iron tools and the impact of the torrent, the infantrymen in the first, second, and third rows were quickly crushed.

The Jin army pushed forward all the way. Every time it went a certain distance, one piece of the Song army died and another piece of the Jin army fell.

More than a hundred cavalry were quickly consumed, and the Jin army's momentum stopped.

During this time, the Tiger Crouching Cannon quickly cooled down under the cold wind and snow.

"Quick! Fire another shot!" Han Shizhong had already come down from the command platform at this time. He almost ran to the artillery camp, touched the artillery with his hand, and gave the order decisively.

When the Song Army saw the terrifying power of the Crouching Tiger Cannon, they immediately became energetic.

Even though the explosion just caused some panic, some people still acted quickly and began to fill the cannon and arrange the leads.

The third wave of iron cannons soon appeared. Although there were not many, only about twenty, it was enough to frighten the remaining Jin army.

Finally, even the cavalrymen were unwilling to move forward, and they stopped trying to persuade their horses to turn around and run away.

Wanyan Balisu was completely confused by the Song Dynasty's operation.

He still didn't know how his heavy cavalry was defeated.

Is that a trebuchet?

Absolutely impossible!

The range of ordinary trebuchets is more than a hundred meters at most. In such a wide mountain road, if so many trebuchets are deployed, the trebuchets behind must be far enough away from the front army, not to mention concentrating its heavy cavalry, and do not hit the Song army itself.

Everything in the military formation is pretty good.

But what is that?

The hard-line soldiers who came back were in a very embarrassed state, and Wan Yan was bleeding from the heart.

He is not Zong Han, who has thousands of hard troops.

He only had these 500 hard-line troops, and they were created by Wu Shu in order to win over him and specially approved part of his military expenses.

Now half of it is filled in here.

He wanted to cry on the spot.

"The front troops are behind, the main force must withdraw quickly!"

It's not that the military's morale has collapsed, it's that Wanyan's mentality has collapsed.

Wushu's attack on Fuzhou lasted for a year, and he sent down multiple groups of elites to launch attacks on Duli City many times.

In fact, the Jin Army, like the Song Army, had entered a state of exhaustion.

Wan Yan's sudden defeat from Li Su undoubtedly brought the Liaodong battlefield into a new state of balance.

The artillery of the Song Army was put into actual combat for the first time, which also heralded the emergence of new variables in the battlefields of the Song and Jin Dynasties.

No, it should be said to be the battlefield of Song and Xia.

The emergence of the Tiger Crouching Cannon was simply tailor-made for Xixia.
