At noon on February 28, the sky in the southwest was filled with wind and clouds.
There were hot air balloons rising above the foothills. The largest blocking battles took place in two places called Xiukou and Shiling. The assembled Chinese soldiers relied on artillery and mountain roads to resist the Jurchens' retreat.
The two-pronged attack by the Ministry of Defense and the Saba Division. The smoke and flames raised by the war could be clearly seen miles away.
Ten miles southeast of Shiling battlefield, there are undulating hills in the field of vision, but most of them are flat land. A small river formed by streams flows through it. After leaving Zizhou, I passed here and crossed the stone bridge before entering the mountain. It was a rugged road.
Merchants transported supplies from the outside to Zizhou through Jianmen Pass every year, and then transported items from Sichuan and Sichuan out of the mountains. Therefore, the stone bridge on the river is named for its long-distance view.
Both sides of the war have gathered on the south side of the stone bridge.
Ning Yi, who only led 6,000 men, did not play any tricks. Therefore, Xie Bao, who held an army of 30,000 men, had to move forward. His army was already arrayed on the river bank, with 30,000 men and 3,000 cavalry, and the flags were raised.
It started with a rare sunny day in late February in the Southwest.
On the hill opposite, six thousand Chinese troops were in front of them, including the character Ning Yi, whom he had heard about for a long time. He was also standing on the hill in front. Wanyan Xiebao breathed a sigh of relief, thirty thousand to six thousand, he
I don't want to give this person a chance to escape.
"The grass around is very new. It doesn't look like it has been dug. There may be no mines." The deputy general came over and said something like this. Xie Bao nodded and recalled the past collection of intelligence about Ning Yi. Nearly thirty
In recent years, the most outstanding figures among the Han people are not only good at strategizing, but also the best at risking their lives on the battlefield to gain a chance of survival. At a gathering in the Kingdom of Jin a few years ago, Gu Shen commented on the other party and once said: "Look at it.
The inner essence is similar to Baoshan."
Six thousand people risked their lives to gain a chance of survival... Standing opposite this stupid behavior, Xie Bao was confused and felt huge insult at the same time. He was not Yelu Yanxi.
Of course, this kind of insult also made him calm down extraordinarily. The correct way to fight against this kind of thing is not to get angry, but to use the strongest attack to knock the opponent into dust, so that his backhand has no time to use, kill him, and massacre
His family, after this, can spit on his skull!
There are currently four generals following Xiebao. Xi Lie and Wanyan Gulu were originally generals under the command of Lou Shi, the God of War. After Lou Shi left, Yanshan Guard was led by these two generals. In addition, Xi Li
His subordinates, Nacho and Wensa, were also survivors of the Northwest Battle that year. Now Naco leads the infantry and Wensa leads the cavalry.
The memory of humiliation and avenge has been engraved in the bones of everyone in this army under their command. The white flag represents their determination to never retreat and surrender. The training for several years is to face Ning Yi's shameful enemy.
The moment when the rats completely buried the Chinese army.
In the early morning of this day, the generals who realized that the duel was in front of them invited out the clothes of the two former Jurchen commanders. Thirty thousand people were silent in front of the clothes, and then tied a white scarf on their foreheads before breaking out of camp and coming to the opposite side of the Wangyuan Bridge. Ning
Yi refuses to cross the river and wants to place the battlefield on this side of the river. It doesn't matter, they can help him.
At the moment when noon arrives, the army with the soldiers wearing white scarves on their foreheads is no less powerful than the army that guarded the Dagang more than 20 years ago.
The generals ran in front of the formation, but there was no shouting. There is no need to elaborate more.
****************
"So the most important thing...the most troublesome thing is how to teach children."
"I think just hitting him will be enough."
"So you... don't understand education. This is a very particular matter. What should I do if I break it? Children also have self-esteem. What should I do if it leaves a psychological shadow on them? What should I do if they rebel and run away from home? You can't just follow the rules.
Hitting them casually will have an impact on their future..."
"The two of us in my family are fine..."
"My family is the same."
The wind blew gently from the mountain. After receiving a message, Ning Yi was talking softly to Du Sha and others next to him.
The atmosphere on the battlefield can make people feel nervous. In the past few days, heated discussions have been taking place in the Chinese army, including Han Jing, Qu Zhengyan and others, who also have certain doubts about the entire operation.
"Six thousand against thirty thousand, what if something goes wrong? You are the backbone of the Chinese Army. If you lose, the Chinese Army will also be defeated."
Or is it:
"Even if we are certain, spending money on Wanyan Xiebao would be a bit of a waste. Otherwise, when Zong Han comes forward, we can have another head-on battle. After all... we may not be able to completely annihilate Xiebao."
Two days before arriving, Zong Han appeared in the pull away army. Qu Zhengyan also raised the idea of modifying the strategy. Ning Yi thought about it for a while and rejected it. Zong Han's appearance was to distract Xie Bao's attention.
The force that will rush to the front is always the Xianbao force. If he doesn't fight, Zong Han will not give another ideal fighter opportunity.
In the process of these discussions and doubts, another thing always worried Ning Yi. Starting from the 23rd, the frontline temporarily lost contact with Ning Ji, although it was temporarily interrupted by the first wave of Jurchens.
There are many teams that have lost contact, but if Ning Ji falls into the hands of the opponent at the critical moment, it would be really a bloody thing.
He had worried and planned a lot of things, but he never thought that such a critical loss of contact would occur when the incident came. Today, news came from the front line. Ning Ji and others beheaded Liaodong general Yin Han, saving lives.
After arriving at the Maoyishan Regiment, he spent the next few days wandering around the mountains looking for fighter planes. The day before yesterday, he raided a Han army team and finally got the message back.
In the past few days, it was said that Ning Ji was ruthless and had killed two enemy generals... This was really fucked up and disturbing news. The family members took a thirteen-year-old
What has the child become like?
We need to end this war quickly, otherwise a murderous devil will appear in our family...
He calmed down in the general direction, put the news confirming Ning Ji's safety into his arms, and breathed out: "But it's okay." He looked up at the menacing 30,000-strong army on the opposite side, with banners like a sea.
, "Even if I die here today, at least the children at home will continue on the road."
"Our two children have been beaten to death since they were young, and they are still like this now. They are sensible..."
"……chuff."
The brief conversation ended with Ning Yi's helpless look. He asked the time. At two quarters of noon, the drums roared. On the opposite position, the first batch of about 5,000 troops in the Jurchen army that was responsible for the test mission.
Starting to move forward, the infantry was in front and the artillery was on the side. On the other side, three thousand fine cavalry slowly circled towards the south side of the battlefield.
The main formation of the army in the rear also advanced slowly.
The movements of thirty thousand people made the earth sound like thunder.
Ning Yi raised his hand and gave the order, and the army advanced at the same time.
At this moment, the distance between the front lines of the two sides' forces was 1,200 meters, and the huge military formation of 30,000 people stretched back and was nearly a mile wide.
The ultimate shooting range of bows and arrows is two hundred meters, and the effective killing range must be within one hundred and twenty meters. The distance of artillery is now about the same. At one hundred and twenty meters, the running speed of an adult will not exceed fifteen seconds.
There are also bed crossbows and strong bows specially made by generals, which can kill up to 300 meters.
Generally speaking, the distance of a hundred feet is the first line to prepare for bloodshed in a battle. And more strategies and methods of using troops also fluctuate on this line, such as advancing slowly at first, and then pressing forward suddenly,
Or you can choose to divide your troops, stick to it, and let the other side react accordingly. Once you get closer to a hundred feet, the battle begins.
With a distance of one kilometer apart and moving forward in formation, both sides still had a certain amount of time to make adjustments and preparations. The battle formation of 30,000 people gradually expanded in the field of vision, and the Chinese army's front line formed a long line in front.
Lines, three rows and three rows of formations staggered with each other, all holding long muskets in their hands. The muskets in the front row were equipped with bayonets, and the soldiers without bayonets carried large knives on their backs.
There were more than 4,500 people holding muskets, and there were also iron cannons in the queue.
On the side of the queue, escorted by a wave of muskets, was a team carrying the banner of "China's No. 1 Military Industry". The main body of the team consisted of more than ten box-shaped four-wheel vehicles. Today, the chief engineer of the Huaxia Military Technology
Lin Jingwei and Gongsun Sheng were both among them.
The people accompanying the team were technicians, soldiers, and workers. Many people's hands, bodies, and military uniforms were dyed a weird yellow color. Some people's hands and faces even showed signs of burns and corrosion.
.
The First Military Industrial Research Institute of the Chinese Army and the Rocket Engineering Research Institute. During the long and difficult days after the establishment of the Chinese Army, Ning Yi had the greatest support for this organization. From another perspective, it was also directly controlled by him.
and institutions that guide research directions. Many of the technical staff are veterans.
Ning Yi has long ago turned some of the soldiers with strong hands-on skills and strong thinking skills into this aspect. Enlightenment at the grassroots level is not enough, and manpower is also tight. Now, allowing these soldiers who participated in the manufacturing process to operate by themselves can be done to a certain extent.
To a certain extent, the losses caused by training new recruits are reduced. Of course, if the battle situation is tight, they will further invest in the battle.
Ning Yi followed this group of people forward. When they were 800 meters away, Lin Jingwei and Gongsun Sheng were followed by Yu Hang, the deputy chief engineer in charge of the rocket. This was a man with messy and curly hair, and the right side of his head was still damaged by the explosion.
The burns left a pure technician with a bald head, nicknamed "Curly Bald", turned around and said: "Not good, almost done."
The vehicle stopped.
"Are you sure?" Ning Yi, who was looking forward with a telescope, couldn't help but asked with some worry.
"After all, the tests we have done are not enough. According to what you said, Teacher Ning, theoretically speaking, we... we still have the possibility of problems. Ning, Teacher Ning, please stand far away, stay away, if...
...If the most unexpected situation occurs, there is a 100% chance that this place will suddenly explode, explode, explode..."
"Okay, stop, I understand."
Ning Yi's expression was dull and he pressed his palms in the air. Some people even laughed out loud, while more people were doing things step by step.
Five four-wheelers were dismantled, and each two wheels were equipped with a grille-shaped iron frame, which was placed diagonally on the ground in front. Workers used iron rods to prop up and fix it, and the other five large cars
On the top, three-meter-long iron cylinders were lifted out one by one and placed on an I-shaped launcher with several grooves.
The battle formation was still advancing, and Ning Yi rode forward, surrounded by many members of the Chinese Army that he was familiar with.
For this war, Ning Yi prepared for more than ten years, and also suffered in it for more than ten years. In more than ten years, many of his fellow Chinese soldiers like him have died at this moment.
From the beginning of Xia Cun, to the three years of Xiaocanghe, and now, he has buried so many heroes who should have been alive that he himself cannot count.
As a person who came from a better world, is smarter and more powerful, he should have more sense of superiority, but in fact, only in front of these people, he does not have much sense of superiority.
Over the years, many people like Li Pin thought that he was arrogant and did not save more people despite his ability. However, those around him who he tried his best to save eventually died one by one.
When he went to Xiaocang River, he buried countless comrades. When he arrived in the southwest, many people were hungry and sent their fat meat to the research institute to refine the little glycerin. Soldiers in the front died in battle, and in the rear research institute
Many of these people were killed and injured by the explosion. Some died of chronic poisoning, and many more had their skin corroded by the poison.
In an explosion accident, a soldier had both of his legs broken. He fell in a pool of blood, and the skin on his face was gone. His last words were: "It's enough for them..." He pointed to
It was a Jurchen. This soldier's entire family had already been killed by the Jurchen's sword.
Now everyone is quietly putting these achievements on the shelves.
In the process of advancing scientific research, Ning Yi first wanted to make a breakthrough in nitroglycerin. After the laboratory method was successfully produced, he wanted to industrialize mass production, but the basics could not be achieved, and even caused many accidents. Later, the direction chosen was picric acid.
, but the road to mass industrial production has not yet been paved.
The overall size and manpower are still too few.
Then he had to slowly improve and explore the manual production method. After making it, he chose to use it in rockets. In fact, the basic design ideas of rockets already existed in the Wu Dynasty. In another period of history, the Song Dynasty
The rocket flowed into India and was later improved by the Europeans and became the Congreve rocket. Ning Yi's improvement idea is actually similar to it. Better explosives, longer range, and more accurate path.
Over the years, until the day when Wangyuanqiao faced off against Wanyan Xiabao, the total production of this kind of iron rocket with a three-meter balance rod was 617, some of which used TNT explosives, and some of which
Filled with picric acid. The finished product was named "Dijiang" by Ning Yi.
The forwards of the two armies were seven hundred meters apart. Wanyan Xiebao raised his telescope and saw the display: "I knew they had a conspiracy..." But no matter what the conspiracy was, no matter how powerful it was, at this moment, he had the choice
Just use 30,000 troops to defeat everything on the other side.
At the same moment, the 30,000 Jurchens on the entire battlefield were completely within range.
The front line of the Jurchens pushed forward entered the 500-meter line, and the main formation of 30,000 people also entered the range of about 600 meters. The Chinese army had stopped and formed in three rows. The soldiers in the front row rubbed their hands and feet.
In fact, they are all experienced warriors, but this is the first time for all of them to use muskets on a large scale in actual combat. Although they have trained a lot, they are not yet clear whether they can produce huge results.
Light white clouds flowed in the sky, Wangyuan Bridge, on the 28th, at 3:00 noon, someone heard the whistling sound of the wind from behind, and there was light passing through the sky on the side. The red tail flame was thick with
Black smoke shot up into the sky.
Each I-shaped launcher has five launch slots, but in order to avoid accidents, everyone chose a relatively conservative launch strategy. Twenty rays of light flew out in different directions. The moment he saw the light, Wanyan tilted his head.
Bao Bao's scalp was numb. At the same time, the general of the 5,000-strong army at the front waved his sword.
"rush"
Two rays of light fell towards the military formation. The main body of the explosive was newly prepared picric acid. The moment the tail flame penetrated the crowd, the roaring explosion carried flames with a high temperature of more than 3,000 degrees towards the crowd.
