Chapter 504 The bloody battle in Zhuxian Town (9) [2-in-1]
In the sound of 'pop~' and the crisp sound of gunshots.
The imperial concubine had just pulled the trigger on her fingertip and immediately felt the walnut wood butt of the Brown Bess musket, which clearly transmitted the recoil to her shoulders when firing.
At the same time, a puff of white smoke rose up, making her cough continuously.
But even so, when the imperial concubine saw that she shot herself.
A golden centurion, who was about sixty or seventy steps away from him, suddenly had a ball of blood on his bearded face.
Then, without even leaving a last word, he was shot off his horse on the spot.
Immediately, with an indescribable feeling of joy, he began to reload the musket.
The hammer is reset, and after chewing up a fixed paper tube bullet, first put in the primer, then the propellant and lead bullets, and finally use a purge bar to pound the lead bullets and propellant into a solid state.
The whole filling process was done so smoothly by this girl.
The total reloading time is only seven or eight seconds, which completely meets and exceeds the standard of the New Army of the Song Dynasty and an excellent musketeer.
Speaking of which! Compared to the previous missions, there are a lot of new people who have joined.
This time it was the rookies who joined the mission, and they were luckier.
Why do you say that? It’s not that even rookies like them can at least get the status of a third-grade servant, division commander, or deputy division commander.
His subordinates command at least several thousand people, so they can put on a good show.
But in this mission, the system did not restrict the use of gunpowder weapons based on some considerations.
In this way, these rookies finally don't have to hold spears and swords to engage in hand-to-hand combat with opponents who have practiced martial arts for many years.
Such a situation is especially beneficial to a girl like the imperial concubine.
The main reason is that girls like Zhan Xiang, who are more masculine than men, are so rare that there may not be even one in a million people.
So there are relatively ordinary girls like Ah Li in the past and the imperial concubine now.
Due to his physical condition, it is okay at other times; but once he enters into a head-on fight with his opponent without any fancy, he will undoubtedly suffer a lot.
But the appearance of muskets immediately resolved such an embarrassment.
No matter it's a big man or a delicate girl, the bullets fired are equally deadly.
The only problem is that the imperial concubine herself and a group of personal guards have joined the battle and started firing with all their strength at the golden man in front of them.
But facing the Jurchens' kidnapping horses, the pressure of such an elite force's frenzied charge was astonishingly huge.
At the same time, she also knew one thing clearly in her heart:
As people on the front line continued to die, the firepower continued to weaken.
Maybe in another two or three minutes, or even shorter, these golden men and kidnapper horses in front of them can rush into the battle line.
At that time, you will enter the battle mode that you hate most and is also the most powerless.
Those weapons such as spears and knives were quite difficult for a girl like her to use, and she couldn't use them well even if she wasn't good at them.
If it were replaced by a samurai sword on her waist, after more than half a year of hard training, this thing would be of some good quality.
When she faced the assassins of the Jin several times, she wounded and killed several Jin assassins with the help of a samurai sword in her hand.
The key issue is that on today's battlefield, facing such a heavily armored opponent, everything is different.
Damn it! Even if she cuts the katana in half, she probably won’t be able to break through the defense?
With this understanding, the imperial concubine complained very depressedly:
"What's wrong, why are these Jin men so strong in their fighting will, yet they haven't collapsed even now? Isn't it said that in ancient feudal wars, even 10% casualties would cause morale to plummet, causing the entire army to collapse?"
The rockets washed the ground, the artillery shelled, and the volleys opened fire. Not to mention 10% of the casualties, probably twenty to thirty, or even more.
But these grandsons, as if they were given chicken blood, show no signs of defeat."
I have to say that the concubine's doubts are quite reasonable; in fact, Jin Bing is on the verge of collapse at this time.
After being bombarded by rockets, had it not been for the decisive decision of the Jurchen commanders.
He personally led the main force of the Jurchens into the battlefield regardless of casualties, and was able to prevent a rout; and aroused the determination of the military leaders and powerful men to fight again, and launched the attack again.
But as the fighting continued, a large number of casualties occurred.
Even the military leaders and powerful men in the North are no longer able to fight anymore, and they have started to get into fishing mode with their men.
Specifically, it was the shouting of killing that shook the sky.
But in reality, they no longer rushed toward the New Army battle formations, but shot the sharp arrows in their hands from a long distance away.
At such a distance, it would be impossible to shoot through the breastplates of the New Army soldiers.
Only a group of Jurchens and some die-hard traitors like Liu Yanzong were really continuing to fight to the death with the new army of the Song Dynasty.
As for why they still haven't collapsed and run away until now.
Mainly in the hearts of those military leaders and powerful men, they still hold on to the last hope.
That is to hope that the Jin's Guaizima, one of the most elite troops, can break through the Song's central army and finally win this battle.
After all, they also understand that if they lose this battle, they will end up badly in the future.
Therefore, they tried their best to suppress the soldiers under their command, and they managed to achieve this situation without completely collapsing.
Once it is the kidnapper horse led by Wanyan Xiyin, or the ten thousand people team led by Wanyan Zongwang.
In such a process, if something bad happens, then it is time for them to retreat and flee; as for a bad future? They must have a future.
It's just that the imperial concubine and others in the Chinese army knew nothing about the above situation.
Because the darkness in front of me was filled with golden soldiers attacking repeatedly, there was no way to know for a while.
What they can do at present is to support themselves under the repeated impact of the tide of kidnapper horses. There is simply no way or thought to consider more things...
Just as she was making a remark, the imperial concubine did not slow down at all in loading the musket.
After a short time, the girl completed the filling again.
She just waited until she picked up the musket and prepared to find a target to fire again, taking advantage of the opportunity to kill one more opponent before she was hacked to death in the battle.
Suddenly, after feeling something vaguely, he suddenly turned his head and looked northwest.
Although she didn't see anything at the time, it was like when the AT died in battle, Empress Maud suddenly had telepathy based on her female intuition.
At this moment, she also had an intuition in her heart:
The idol brother Xiao Yang, who had spent many nights chatting with her about poetry and songs and would blush frequently when he peeked at her long legs in fishnet socks, must have died in the battle.
The difference is that this girl didn't burst into tears at that time.
Instead, he looked at the wave of crippled horses in front of him, which had already rushed to a position thirty or forty steps in front of him.
Throwing away the musket in his hand, he took off a bag of explosives he was carrying behind his back, hid it under his arm, and touched a pine oil torch to the side.
It was completely a display of fierceness and determination to avenge Yang Zaixing in this way.
Fortunately, as the imperial concubine was a girl, Hu Biao and the others tried their best to take care of her as conditions permitted.
For example, Lang Qing helped create some small self-defense weapons such as diamond umbrellas and sleeve arrows.
The old snake gave her a samurai sword brought from the modern dimension as a gift.
The guards assigned to her were also some of the best, even better than Hu Biao's own guards.
Therefore, before the imperial concubine could light the explosive bag, a guard snatched the explosive bag from her hand.
He threw out a sentence: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! We promised Minister Hu that as long as we don't all die, nothing will happen to you; so let me do this desperate matter."
Then, holding an explosive pack in one hand and a torch in the other, they rushed out of the current battle formation.
After taking five or six steps, the torch was stretched out towards the fuse. After lighting it, he raised his arms and threw them towards the golden men who could not hold back the horses.
Although in the blink of an eye, the guard was hit in the face by a throwing axe.
But the next second later, a ball of fire also knocked down the dozen riders who rushed in front of him, and they all fell to the ground in an instant.
Then, the imperial concubine, who had always paid attention to her elegant posture, finally burst out with a curse word "fuck~" in her mouth.
Because under the shock wave of the explosion, a helmet flew over like a cannonball, and before she could react, it hit her 36E on the left chest.
After he uttered a curse word on the spot, he raised his head and fell down.
He probably won't die, but it's hard to say whether he was smashed or not...
****
The scene of the imperial concubine raising her head and then falling over immediately caused a huge panic on the left side of the central army where she was responsible for sitting.
But compared to the position a hundred meters to her right, the situation was still better.
The reason for this is that the team is sitting here, facing a wave of cavalry in front of them, and now the gunner of the 12-pound field gun has just been shot to death.
The captain, who temporarily assumed the position of gunner, held a torch and pointed it towards the fuse.
The fuse, which had been wrapped in oil paper, was still not damp, and soon ignited the propellant in the gun barrel.
Unfortunately, after a shocking loud noise, this thing exploded directly.
After an astonishing wave of air came, the team was blown away like a toy on the spot.
What needs to be explained is that the captain, whose face was covered in blood when he was blown away, now feels strangely relaxed.
Mainly because in the past, he didn't remember how many buckets of cold water were poured on the barrel of the 12-pound field gun in front of him to forcefully cool it.
Regarding the dangers of this kind of operation, Team Zheng is naturally very clear after Lao Tie died in this situation.
The problem is that if we don't do this, the battle formation without artillery support will be unable to hold long ago; so that the team members are always on tenterhooks, worried about when this thing will explode.
Now that I'm really excited, my heart feels inexplicably relaxed.
"What the hell! Aren't you cheap~"
Realizing such a relaxed, somewhat abnormal Qian Zheng, he finally complained and died before landing.
Therefore, she did not see that under the impact of the explosion, almost half of the musketeers who had just come up were knocked down.
The battle formation he was in was torn open with a huge hole on the spot.
Then, taking advantage of this good opportunity, dozens of shouting kidnapper horses finally rushed in excitedly, causing the battle formation to become even more chaotic.
After seeing this long-awaited scene, Wanyan Xiyin's pale face from a few seats behind her was immediately filled with flushing, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Immediately, he waved a long knife with one arm, kicked the war horse and took the lead in charging forward.
He shouted: "Jurchen warriors, come with me for the sake of gold~"
It's a pity that before he could get very far, a scene that made him despair appeared:
A large formation of at least a thousand people, with swords, shields, spears, muskets, etc., appeared in front of him; it also blocked the possibility of those kidnappers who rushed in first to continue rushing in.
It was the warehouse management who released the "Congreve Rocket", and there were more than 2,000 civilians in total.
After they released the rockets, of course they couldn't just become bystanders of the battle; after hurriedly grabbing their weapons amidst the roars of the warehouse management, they came to support.
After Hu Biao thought for a while, he divided these people into two, forming a temporary defense line behind the imperial concubine, Duizheng and others, which provided an extra layer of insurance.
So this kind of insurance comes in handy at such a critical time.
In the sound of musketry, which was not uniform at all due to lack of training.
The first horses that rushed up were still knocked to the ground one after another; there were two rows of spears in the front and back, and after they were erected diagonally on the ground, they also formed a forest of spears.
Even if it was the side of the Jin people, the idea that they had just risen to defeat their opponents in the chaos was immediately completely shattered.
It has to be said that this kind of thing, after just seeing a little hope, was completely shattered in an instant, the blow to morale and psychology was too great.
What's more, if these Jurchens are included in the initial rocket attack, this is the second time that they have suffered such a severe blow to their morale and psychology.
Qualitative changes lead to quantitative changes.
In the end, it triggered a series of catastrophic consequences for them.
First of all, Wanyan Xiyin, a famous pervert among the Jurchens, could not bear such a blow; with a roar of "I am so angry~", he fell headfirst to the ground.
Even the personal guards around him were responsible. Before he completely fell to the ground, fell to death, or was trampled to death by a war horse, he grabbed the back of his neck and lifted him back onto his horse.
But after taking a quick look, he found that his commander was already so angry that he couldn't live without seeing him.
Later, the warehouse manager greeted these civilians and threw a bunch of grenades over. Amidst a burst of dense flying debris, the survivors of the Chinese battlefield finally lost their courage to fight.
I don't know which person it was, but after shouting "Escape for your life~" in Jurchen language.
These elite Jurchen troops began to turn their horses around and began to flee frantically for their lives.
Seeing that the Jurchens' so-called "kidnapping horse" is now running away, how can other military leaders and powerful men still have the courage to continue fighting?
Almost immediately, he also took the lead in escaping.
Suddenly, an irreversible defeat was staged in Zhuxian Town.
In such a process, some of the infantry even attacked the cavalry in order to grab a horse, which represented the possibility of successfully escaping.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a Han, a Liao or a Jurchen who was aloof in the past, you will still be shot in the face.
Seeing such a scene, Wanyan Zongwang, the so-called second prince of the Jin Kingdom, naturally understood that they were completely defeated.
When he thought of that tragic consequence, he couldn't help but feel so sad that his whole body became extremely weak, and he just stood there in a daze.
Fortunately, a confidant general beside him started to drink loudly:
"Zong Wang, it's useless to be sad now that things have come to this. There are not many soldiers and horses left in our Kingdom of Jin, and there are not many generals left.
I still need you to save one life and try to turn the tide and save Daikin from now on."
After hearing such a sentence, Wanyan Zongwang reacted.
Immediately, he cheered up and began to gallop towards the west under the escort of two to three thousand elite Jurchens around him.
It's just that when they come, it's easy, but when they want to leave, it's a little more difficult.
In the continuous battles in Zhuxian Town, especially in today's battle, the New Army of the Song Dynasty did not know how many people died in the battle.
Who doesn't have respected officers, close comrades, or even brothers and friends? If they die in the hands of these golden men, they have already had sworn hatred.
Now I see these golden people actually trying to escape. How can I let them succeed so easily?
They all held weapons in their hands and began to chase and intercept them.
Especially after seeing Wanyan Zongwang wearing golden armor under the banner of the Chinese Army.
I don’t know how many soldiers of the new army roared after being shocked: "Brothers, the one wearing the golden armor is Wanyan Zongwang, don't let this guy get away~"
Good guy! After hearing such a sentence.
It can be said that Wanyan Zongwang has never suffered such a disastrous defeat and humiliation in his life. He almost broke his back teeth...
