Chapter 500 Zhuxian Town (5) [Two chapters in one]
"Left the muzzle of the gun to the left, and aim at the group of people with the big ax in the leader's hand. That's right! It's right here. Let me fire the cannon~"
Waving a long knife in his hand, the team stood next to a 12-pound Napoleon field gun.
This little yellow fat man from the Xuange Camp team was shouting at the top of his lungs.
Needless to say, it looked very much like the Japs officer standing next to a Type 92 heavy machine gun in some modern dramas about fighting Japs, waving a samurai sword and commanding the fire.
But after thinking about it for a moment, it is actually normal for such a scene to happen to Qian Zheng.
Currently, Hu Biao, the imperial concubine, and the three others are waiting for the team. The 3,000-man Chinese army they are currently in is facing the attack of at least 7,000 kidnapper horses led by Wanyan Xiyin.
It's still the kind of person who doesn't care about life and death and repeatedly attacks madly.
In this way, the several artillery pieces of the Chinese army here have become some of the most critical firepower points.
Often when a position is about to become unstoppable, a shot of artillery loaded with shotgun shells can basically alleviate such a crisis.
With the Japanese officer commanding the Type 92 heavy machine gun to suppress our army's firepower, the two have completely the same tactical principle.
No! A stout Jurchen who was extremely bloated and wore countless layers of iron armor was holding an exaggeratedly shaped two-handed axe, riding on a particularly majestic war horse.
With fifty or sixty cavaliers behind him, they charged all the way despite volleys of guns, and now they all rushed to the 11 o'clock position on the left hand.
We are now less than forty steps away from the Chinese defense line.
At this time, the musketeers in front of them had just finished firing and were still being replaced.
Even if there are a row of sword and shield bearers and spearmen at the forefront, these defensive methods can still be directly knocked away as long as the cavalry is not afraid of death.
After they broke into the battle formation, a huge crisis began.
But after the team hurriedly covered their ears and watched with their own eyes a ball of shotgun weighing 5.45 kilograms was sprayed out by a guy, there was no longer any crisis.
Most of the people and war horses in that group of kidnapper horses were instantly covered in dense blood.
At the same time, their original momentum of rushing forward crazily immediately turned sideways to the left under the astonishing impact of a large number of shotgun shells.
Specifically, the four limbs and legs of the horse were raised horizontally, and the horse's body hit the ground heavily.
In the end, after this artillery fire, only fifteen or six kidnapper horses were lucky enough to survive the artillery fire; but even if these survivors were said to be extremely brave, one Jurchen could fight a hundred Song people.
.
Still amidst such horrific killings, he was frightened on the spot and his mind went blank.
He no longer cared about continuing to rush forward, but turned his horse's head around driven by instinct and fled to the back, as far away as he wanted.
This sudden crisis on the battlefield was resolved cleanly.
The only pity is that the escape process of these Jurchens failed to cause some chain reaction.
Even facing these Jurchens who were scared away, the team was shouting at the top of their lungs to stop a team of new army musketeers who had just come up:
"Stop, don't shoot, let them run back."
This is the team's hope that the retreat of these people will cause these kidnapper horses to flee as a whole, which can be regarded as the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
But Wanyan Xiyin's current reaction is too strong.
Due to the massive blood loss after losing an arm, this guy's face and lips had long been as pale as white paper. He still sat firmly on the horse without the help of others.
His head is still turning very fast, and his command level is quite excellent.
These dozen or so frightened the Jurchens, so they turned the horse's head and ran wildly behind. He just noticed what this meant.
He immediately shouted an order and directed some of the guards around him to start shooting arrows.
So the dozen or so Jurchens who fled were shot and killed on the spot after running dozens of steps.
So much so that the other Jurchens who saw such a scene not only failed to see what the team had hoped to see, but all of them fled.
Instead, these Jurchens went crazy.
With his heart filled with grief and indignation, he let out a roar like a wild beast, and continued to charge towards this side more and more ferociously.
"What the hell~" When the captain saw this, he immediately cursed in his mouth; he had a headache because of how difficult these Jurchens were in front of him.
Just when he was about to issue other orders, a voice suddenly came from beside him: "Reporting to the chief of staff of the team."
Turning around, the team leader could see a messenger boy next to Hu Biao. Due to battlefield discipline, he did not salute him.
He opened his mouth to convey Hu Biao's latest order, or maybe he was worried.
A paragraph that was obviously a retelling of Hu Biao's original words fell on the ears of the team leader:
"Privy Envoy Hu said, little fat man, how can you be so damn strong? If you can't stand it anymore, call for help as soon as possible. I will send my security team over to you~"
Upon hearing this, the team members became very unhappy on the spot.
He turned around and scolded: "Go back immediately and tell that dead guy. Who are you looking down on? Ask him to keep the guards himself, or send them to the imperial concubine. I don't have any use here."
After he finished cursing, he urged the Napoleon gun crew around him to fly up.
But what he didn't know was that even if the messenger did not salute him due to battlefield discipline, his existence had long been exposed and Wanyan Xiyin had targeted him.
After feeling waves of dizziness in my head and waves of weakness in my body.
Wanyan Xiying, who knew that he might not be able to hold on for long, called a close personal guard and began to explain quickly.
The Yi team is holding a telescope and hastily observed the current situation on the battlefield. What they can know now is:
As long as they can withstand the impact of the golden soldiers and kidnappers, then as time goes by, the advantage of our side, which currently has some advantages, will become bigger and bigger.
The reason is very simple. Except for these Jurchens and a small number of hardcore traitors, the morale of the ordinary soldiers in the Jin army is about to bottom out and they can no longer fight.
The goddess of victory had already lifted some of her skirts in front of their eyes at this moment.
However, the prerequisite for their complete victory is that AT and Yang Zaixing can hold off Wanyan Zonghan's reinforcements.
Otherwise, it doesn't take much. As long as three to five thousand golden cavalry enter the battlefield to support them, everything that is beneficial to them can be reversed in an instant.
"AT, Yang Zaixing, at such a critical moment, you two must not stop having diarrhea."
In the captain's mouth, he muttered silently...
****
Okay! Let us refocus our attention on the unlucky Xiao Shangqiao, AT and Yang Zaixing.
To be more precise, it is to go back in time a little and adjust it back to when AT and Yang Zaixing were included, and a total of 711 riders had just arrived at Xiaoshangqiao.
They hurriedly grabbed their horses at the bridgehead, and immediately saw a large amount of smoke rising from a position five or six miles northwest.
Under the smoke and dust, there was a dark group of cavalry, rushing over at high speed.
At their current speed, it would only take them three to four minutes at most to reach Xiaoshangqiao.
At the end of the bridge, I looked at the surrounding section of the river, which was not too wide and the water was not too fast. AT took a deep breath and started to rotate rapidly.
What to turn around? It should be based on the current situation, how to block these golden people.
With such a stone bridge, he didn't have to worry about these golden men rushing over.
When they came this time, they brought enough explosives with them. Even if they couldn't hold it, they would just blow up the stone bridge.
The key issue is that the bridge is dead, but the golden people are alive.
Even if there was no stone bridge, they could still cross the river by swimming.
Even when crossing the river, these people had to take off their iron armor, and when they swam across the river holding their horses' heads, they faced long-range firepower, which was bound to cause huge casualties.
But if these Jin people swam together, how could they kill them in such a large number?
When AT started to feel worried, Yang Zaixing, after taking a quick look around, also clearly saw such an extremely bad situation.
The difference is that this eternal warrior is more decisive.
Without any hesitation, he immediately suggested:
"My lord, I see that the number of Jin people is really too great. If we use some ordinary methods, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them from crossing the river.
How about this? You can lead the brothers from the independent cavalry battalion to defend the bridge and the river bank. As long as the golden man swims across the river, shoot them all.
I took the 300 brothers who were carrying the Wei army on my back and charged directly towards Wanyan Zonghan's central army.
As long as I kill this guy today, these Jin people will be very frightened, and the remaining Jin people will not be worried."
Good guy! What the pretty face history teacher said was indeed right.
In the dark, history always has amazing similarities and repetitions.
Even in the current mission world, everything has changed beyond recognition.
After going around in circles, Yang Zaixing finally brought out Wanyan Zongbi's tactics from another historical line. Originally, he met Jin Wushu at another Xiaoshang Bridge.
The different situation is that after hearing what Yang Zaixing said.
AT had no choice but to find that such a reckless approach of only charging at the opponent's central army was actually their only option at the moment.
Because even if Wanyan Zonghan, an enemy chieftain, could not be killed, it would probably greatly affect the energy of this group of Jin people, making it impossible for them to cross the river with all their strength.
After realizing this, AT made a decision between gritted teeth.
He shouted: "The engineering squad listened to the order and immediately placed enough explosives on the bridge pier for me. When the golden men rushed onto the bridge, they immediately blew up the bridge for me.
Battalion Commander Zhou, take all the soldiers of the independent cavalry battalion to guard and patrol the south bank. If any Jin tries to swim across the river, I will shoot him on the spot.
No matter what, we can’t let a golden man cross the river and get ashore.”
When he said this, AT had already pulled out a kite shield and a Tang Hengdao from the edge of the saddle, and held them in his hands, one on the left and the other on the right.
After turning around, he said to Yang Zaixing:
"Just do as you say Zaixing and go straight to kill him.
But how can I be left out of the battle to kill Yan Zongwang, an enemy chieftain? If nothing else, even if you leave your back to me, as long as I am still breathing, I will definitely protect you."
Then Yang Zaixing is really a happy man.
After hearing this, there was nothing in his mouth, such as "My husband, you are a pillar of the imperial court, you must not take risks" and other vain words.
With a faint smile, he just said:
"It just so happens that I can fight side by side with my husband. This is a great honor for me, Yang Zaixing. Even if I die here today, my twenty-three years of life will not be considered in vain."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter, followed closely by the three hundred soldiers who were carrying the Wei army.
Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves that became louder as the Jin army got closer and closer.
The laughter of these people was filled with an indescribable freedom and a sense of soaring pride.
It was also amid such laughter that Yang Zaixing, who was holding a single hook gun in his hand, took the lead and rushed out with a kick on his horse. The AT that followed closely behind and rushed out was only one position behind.
Then came the Beiwei Army, composed of 300 people who had returned from Pingzhou in the North.
After they followed AT and Yang Zaixing and crossed the Xiaoshang Bridge on horseback, they immediately spontaneously formed an arrow formation with Yang Zaixing and AT as arrows, suitable for impacting and piercing the opponent.
After watching the actions of these people, it was natural to understand how Battalion Commander Zhou would end up here.
He was mumbling, originally wanting to shout out some auspicious words such as 'I wish you a great victory', or 'I'm about to succeed'.
But in the end, these impossible blessings all turned into a sentence after raising his right hand: "Salute~"
After maintaining a standard military salute for three seconds, Battalion Commander Zhou also roared: "The engineer class quickly loaded up the explosives, and everyone else is ready.
As long as I can breathe, the Jin people will never cross the river..."
"Not good! The people of Song Dynasty were actually on guard for a long time."
This was Wanyan Zonghan's first reaction when he led 20,000 cavalry and rushed towards Zhuxian Town, and then saw a group of Song soldiers on Xiaoshang Bridge.
But soon after, the worry that arose in his heart disappeared.
No one else! Because Wanyan Zonghan looked carefully and found that those Song people were no more than six or seven hundred riders in the back area.
What's more important is that if these people guard the south bank of the canal, it will cause them considerable trouble and losses in the process of crossing the river.
But now such a small force has been divided into two parts.
There were about three hundred riders among them, and they came to kill them. Isn't this looking for death?
He admitted that the people of Song Dynasty were different. Since they used those weird firearms, it had become a headache for them, but only for the infantry.
In terms of riding combat, they still have great confidence.
"Don't you know whether to live or die?" Facing the death-seeking behavior of more than 300 riders who had already rushed within three miles, he cursed in his mouth.
Then, let’s not say anything else.
A Jurchen beside him tried to defeat the captain, and he was already shouting:
"Zong Han, please let me take the people to kill the Song people in front of me first, and then rush across the bridge to clear a way for the army."
The commander who spoke was called Wanyan Pucha. Although he was not even twenty years old, he was a famous figure among the new generation of Jurchens.
In fact, in the Jin army's attack on the Song Dynasty, almost all the younger generation of the Jurchens joined it in full force.
The purpose is to stand out as quickly as possible after achieving a military exploit.
Nowadays, the military system of the Jurchens is quite strict. Although Wanyan Pucha is not very old, he can be a commander of thousands, so he naturally has considerable abilities.
Not only is he proficient in bow and horse, but he also makes an excellent mace.
Even Wanyan Zonghan is a junior who is very optimistic about him.
In the original historical line, this Wanyan Pucha was worthy of being valued by Wanyan Zonghan.
He successively served as the deputy envoy of the Anhua Army, the governor of Pizhou, the governor of Pizhou, the governor of the Changwu Army, the deputy commander of Shandong, the commander of the military capital of Liposu Road, and the recruitment envoy of the Northwest Road.
In the history of the Jin Dynasty, he was also praised as a man of integrity, loyalty, ability to make decisions when faced with problems, and he was praised by others for doing whatever he did.
After hearing this junior's request, Wanyan Zonghan immediately agreed with the idea of adult beauty; he shouted:
"Pucha, please go ahead. As long as you successfully capture the stone bridge from the army, I will mark your victory in this battle."
Wanyan Pucha immediately became ecstatic after hearing this.
Immediately, he yelled loudly and called to his subordinates, a thousand-man cavalry team. After speeding up their horses again, they charged towards Yang Zaixing and others.
Then? Then he died.
He was also the arrowhead of the army. After facing Yang Zaixing, he smashed the mace in his hand at his opponent.
Although the move is simple, it is fast and urgent due to the speed of the horse, and even has a whistling sound that breaks through the air.
Countless opponents before were beaten to death by Wanyan Pucha with just one move.
Especially after seeing Yang Zaixing parry with one shot, Wanyan Pucha even imagined in his mind the scene where his opponent, armed with a gun, was knocked off his horse by himself.
But I never thought that under the impact of the single hook gun and the mace.
Wanyan Pucha, who was holding a heavy weapon in his hand, felt an astonishing force coming from him, and there was a sharp tearing pain in his hands.
He could no longer hold the mace in his hand and threw it out on the spot.
Then before he could do anything, a cold light flashed before his eyes, and he found a pain in his throat; instinctively, he covered his throat with his hands full of blood and fell down.
There was only one simple thought in my mind: "This Song Dynasty man is so strong and can shoot so fast..."
