If I had known before, I should have brought an improved Brown Bess musket with rifling when setting out, instead of this thing that is a hundred meters away and relies on metaphysics to hit the target."
The above were the most resentful thoughts that Huang Yizhi, the owner of the West Factory, had in his heart before he died in the battle.
The specific situation was when Huang Yizhi, with a group of cavalrymen acting as fire brigade, rushed towards the accident site in the area he was responsible for.
Soon after, this guy discovered that something was wrong.
There are actually two things that are wrong.
First, the movement of this group of Jin people was a bit loud. The Jin cavalry troops he encountered in the past few days usually only had three to five hundred people in size, and the number in the top of the sky was only seven or eight hundred.
But when they hurried over, two or three miles away, they could see fifteen or six hundred Jin cavalry rushing over at high speed.
A cavalry battalion with a serious shortage of personnel could not stop them at all.
With such a little doubt, when Huang Yizhi picked up the telescope, he saw a Jurchen Ten Thousand Captain wearing golden armor and a wound on his shoulder.
After being escorted by a group of personal guards in the middle position, he immediately knew the answer in his mind.
According to the information, this guy should be the deputy commander Wanyan Hunqi of this group of harassing cavalry.
For such a big fish, it is completely understandable that the troops around him are larger and more elite in quality.
The fact that the deputy commander of the opponent's company also personally dispatched the troops showed that the situation of this group of Jin cavalry was also at a very difficult time.
For this reason, Huang Yizhi felt a little excited.
Of course, he knew better that if he could kill Wanyan Hunqi, a Jurchen deputy commander, it would have a greater impact on the opponent's morale.
Unfortunately, he clearly knew that this was very difficult to achieve and was basically impossible.
As for the reason, this involves another point.
Secondly, Huang Yizhi overestimated his physical condition.
After experiencing so many missions, the riding skills of a veteran like Factory Gong are actually no worse than those of senior elite cavalry.
But now, because of his injuries, it seems a little difficult for him to even maintain his balance on the horse.
Even after being shaken and shaken, he barely managed to fall off the horse, but he could still use himself as an arrow like before to lead his brothers into the enemy formation and kill Wanyan Hun, the enemy chieftain.
Fortunately, Huang Yizhi took him behind him, and there were a total of more than two hundred knights under his command.
After seeing that the factory owner was ill, a company commander immediately shouted loudly: "Send a signal and continue to ask for help from neighboring troops~"
Under such an order, a guard fired another sky-piercing monkey.
The difference is that after such a sky-piercing monkey explodes, a cloud of red smoke fills the air, and it takes a while for it to completely dissipate with the wind.
This kind of red signal flare means that a large group of Jin cavalry is attacking here, and all the surrounding cavalry need to come over immediately for support.
In addition, the army must stop advancing immediately and form a car formation to prevent the Jin people from rushing into the formation.
After the company commander shouted such a sentence in his mouth, he took the seventy or eighty men and horses around him, and while kicking and beating the horses desperately, the speed of the horses was increased again.
After passing Huang Yi, they guarded the factory man whom they admired so much. There were about ten people among them, and they surrounded him tightly.
The company commander spontaneously stood in front of the team and led more than two hundred people to face the opponent.
Even when he looked at these particularly elite opponents in front of him, he was actually very frightened, but it still didn't affect his kicking horse to keep moving forward.
Soon, the two sides were thirty or forty steps apart.
The subsequent battle process is no different from the previous process.
What's the difference? The Song Dynasty's New Army Cavalry and the Jin's Cavalry are such old rivals. They have fought hundreds of times before and after. There are no new moves between the two sides.
It was nothing more than the New Army cavalry relying on the short muskets in their hands to fire first and then take advantage.
Then the two sides began to engage in a fancy mounted battle; one after another, the Jin and Song people passed each other and were knocked off their horses by their opponents' weapons.
Once you fall from the horse, it is basically equivalent to death.
If there is something, it must be a little different from other battles.
That is, Huang Yizhi, who knew he was about to die, after picking up the Brown Bess musket, wanted to drag Wanyan Hunqi along with him before he died, using this as a sufficient support to die together.
So in Huang Yizhi's mouth, he cursed the first sentence...
Why? For a smoothbore musket like the Brown Bess, as long as the distance is a little further, it is quite touching that it is on target.
As a result, now we are on an uneven horseback. It can only be said that it is normal to miss the target, and it would be a strange thing if we hit it.
Therefore, in order to aim as accurately as possible, Huang Yizhi made the probability of hitting the target higher.
The only way is to draw the firing distance closer to the target, thinking that it is best to rush within forty or fifty steps before firing.
In order to achieve such a goal, Huang Yizhi clearly felt that his swaying body might be thrown off the horse in the next second, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
During this process, I saw some disturbing situations out of the corner of my eye.
For example, looking at the company commander who was at the front, he was shot into the air by a lance in his hand.
He was hit on the top of his head by an oncoming mace. The helmet on his head was suddenly severely deformed, and the Tianling Cap underneath was smashed into pieces.
And he watched the soldiers surrounding him being knocked down one after another.
But no matter what, the hands of this guy holding the Black Bass musket are a stable one in this process.
It's just that everyone can work. After gradually entering a strange dying state, except for the target's head with a mink hat, there is no room for anything else.
Therefore, he did not notice some other fatal situations.
When Wanyan Hun, the Jin deputy commander, was discovered by Huang Yizhi and became a target, how could he not notice that the Jin man, the captain of ten thousand men, was the factory owner who was being protected by more than a dozen Song people.
After a big move, a strong bow painted with gold paint and having one stone and five powers came into his hands.
However, the knights of the new army also guarded the factory master very well. Even if the guy drew the bow string to the full length, he could not find a chance to shoot the sharp arrow.
.
As for the long firecracker held in the opponent's hand, he was not worried at all.
Both sides have fought so many times now, and they have even captured some live musketeers. How could they not know that even if they stand still, their accuracy is quite bad.
What's more, it would be more difficult to hit him on an uneven horseback.
So at this moment, he was also approaching the target under the protection of his men.
The difference is that because there are more troops, the cavalry combat capabilities of the personnel are much stronger; so in such a cavalry confrontation, the Jin side has already occupied an absolute advantage on the scene.
Even if he didn't find a chance to take action in the end, this big fish from the Song Dynasty and more than 200 cavalrymen from the Song Dynasty in front of him would basically be dead.
In this way, the distance between Huang Yizhi and Wanyan Hunqi became closer and closer.
The number of people covering and protecting the two men continued to decrease due to collisions and battles, but the situation on Huang Yizhi's side was obviously worse in comparison.
This situation continued until the distance between the two people was only eighty meters; in an accidental coincidence, an opportunity appeared that was fleeting for both parties.
Without any hesitation, both of them took action decisively.
The factory owner pulled the trigger on his fingertips, and Wanyan Hunqi released the fully-stretched bowstring in his hand.
The next second later, the body of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites of the Song Dynasty, the Duke of Xichang, the Duke of Wei, and the "Huan Sheng" master who had risen like a comet in the literary world was directly shot through by an arrow, weighing more than 200 kilograms.
Because he twisted his body slightly at the moment the arrow was hit, the sharp arrow that was supposed to hit his left ventricle was slightly deflected.
But even so, the yellow fat man who was originally a dead man died the moment he fell off his horse.
In his original plan, before he died, he was going to look like a movie plot and cast a loving look in the direction of Yanshan.
The result? There is no such chance.
At the same time, one of the founding heroes of the Jin Kingdom was not only later named Xu Guogong due to his merits in the original historical line, but was also deposed as one of the heroes of the Yanqing of the Jin Dynasty.
After getting a bullet hole in his forehead, he also died cleanly.
Before he died, there was still an expression of disbelief on his face, perhaps because he really didn't understand why the opponent could still hit him under the current environment and distance?
As for the two men who fell, they were discovered by their respective subordinates at the first time.
For these people, it's like the sky is falling.
Immediately, they no longer cared about fighting with their opponents; they all pulled the reins, adjusted the horses' heads in the direction where their respective generals landed, and rushed over desperately.
Even if you can't save the lives of your own generals, you still have to snatch their bodies back and not let your opponents snatch them away.
Because that means that maybe the head of one's own general will become a rich trophy for the opponent; it can be picked up with a spear to show force.
If this is the case, how can they survive in this world?
Soon after, both sides each grabbed their own leader.
But one look at the appearance of the two of them, without even touching their noses to see if there was still breath, they knew that they were completely dead.
At this moment, on the left and right sides of this small battlefield, only three or four miles away, there were one or two hundred cavalry rushing towards each other.
That's when I saw the red signal in the sky, which represented a special emergency.
Heading this way, other New Army cavalry units came to support frantically.
All of his own captains of ten thousand were killed in the battle, and the opponent was surrounded by several cavalry groups. Seeing that a golden man who had no chance to attack the captain, he had to shout loudly.
It was considered as an order for our personnel to immediately retreat with Wanyan Hun's corpse.
And because the factory master died in the battle, the New Army cavalry was in a trance and had no idea of pursuing them.
In the end, what was originally a very short cavalry battle ended hurriedly in the middle of the fight, with neither side gaining any advantage.
It's just a war of attrition that has no meaning or what its meaning is...
*******
"Xiangong Hu, this is what Xianggong Huang asked a musketeer to give to you before he went out for the final battle; he said that no matter what, he would ask you to complete the contents~
Presumably, when Mr. Huang went out to fight, he knew that he would not be able to come back from this attack~"
When Yue Fei handed over a notebook in his hand to Hu Biao, he said something with emotion.
Later, I took another look at Fatty Yellow's body, which had many battle damage marks on his armor, and his chest was shot through by an armor-piercing arrow.
After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but put forward his own suggestion:
"Ms. Hu, I don't think we need to use our limited cavalry to fight the Jin people head-on. It's good to follow the original tactics and push forward steadily.
The continuous harassment of the Jin cavalry can delay our army's march, but it will only arrive at Yanjing City later.
Whether we arrive in late February or mid-March actually doesn't matter much.
It is better to increase the marching speed to thirty miles every day from now on, and push forward steadily all the way."
Yes, that's right! Because Yue Fei and other generals of the Northern Expedition in the mission world have no idea that Hu Biao and others are currently facing system mission pressure.
For someone like Hu Biao, he must arrive at Yanjing City before February 25th.
It was incomprehensible that the limited cavalry troops of the new army, and even the princes belonging to the imperial court, had to pay such heavy casualties in the process of covering the march of the army.
After all, in their view, even if they arrive in Yanjing a month late, it doesn't matter much.
That is to say, Hu Biao and Hu Xianggong, in the previous period, used brilliant achievements that could blind people's eyes, and achieved the supreme feat of holding back the generals of the Song Dynasty.
So much so that his prestige among the army has reached an astonishing level.
It was this that suppressed the objections of Yue Fei and others to such a decision.
However, as time went by, more than half of the New Army cavalry suffered casualties; even important court officials like Fatty Huang were killed in the battle.
It is obvious that this objection in their hearts is getting bigger and bigger, and it is almost impossible to suppress it.
After hearing this, Hu Biao opened his mouth for a while and finally asked Yue Fei:
"Pengju, can you trust me, Mr. Hu?"
Faced with such a question from Hu Biao, Yue Fei seemed very excited and said categorically: "Master Hu, please don't say that.
The status I have today, and more importantly, the ambition to conquer Huanglong, are all given by Xianggong. There is no one who can't believe Xianggong.
If Yue Fei or above has even the slightest bit of lies, I will be called..."
Yue Fei failed to utter the oath in his mouth, but was directly interrupted by Hu Biao.
Hu Biao also spoke solemnly to Yue Fei and Grandpa Yue: "Pengju, you don't need to be like this. I naturally know your character.
So I can only tell you now that for some reasons that are inconvenient to tell you, the army must arrive at Yanjing City before the 25th and 6th of February.
And before March 1st, the Jin army must be defeated and Yanjing City captured.
This matter is causing great trouble, so just be aware of it, and remember not to let the slightest hint of it to the outside world."
Sure enough, since the previous mission, there was no need to doubt the trust between Grandpa Yue and them, who was being trained by Hu Biao and the others.
After hearing that Hu Biao had reached this point, he immediately had no idea of asking further questions.
He even made a promise in his mouth: "Mr. Hu, don't worry, I will never say a word about this to anyone.
In addition, after practicing with Niu Gao, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai and others over the years, I think I am also proficient in bow and horse, not inferior to those Jurchens.
From today on, a group of soldiers with the newly formed Beiwei Army will also join in the battle to cover the advancing army and do our best to some extent."
Looking at Yue Fei and Grandpa Yue's offer to join him, Hu Biao thought for a while but rejected his offer:
"Pengju, you don't have to go to war. Just help me take care of and coordinate the army's daily marching speed. This matter is more important.
Niu Gao, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai and the others can just lead the Beiwei army into battle."
Is it a joke to ask Yue Fei, Grandpa Yue, to join this kind of cavalry tug-of-war like a flesh and blood mill?
You must know that in the plan of Hu Biao and others, once they are teleported back, Yue Fei and Grandpa Yue will lead the army and continue to attack Huanglong's commander-in-chief, so nothing will happen.
To put it bluntly, Hu Biao can die, but Grandpa Yue will not wait.
After hearing Hu Biao's arrangement, Yue Fei had no choice but to give up. He left immediately and went to notify Niu Gao, Zhang Xian, and Tang Huai to join the battle with Beiwei's army.
After Yue Fei left, Hu Biao finally had time to open the notebook in his hand.
As a result, I immediately saw this classic line: "Zi Ben came into the world, and everything from head to toe was bleeding and dirty~"
After seeing such a sentence, Hu Biao still didn't know something: Fatty Huang had unleashed his ultimate skill and was actually writing the famous "Zi Ben Lun".
To be more specific, it was a Song Dynasty version that Huang Yizhi probably wrote based on his own memory.
But the key problem is that Hu Biao never read this book when he was in the modern plane; by the way! There are a few people in the modern plane who have actually read this book.
It was during his college days that "Ma Yuan", which he had studied in an ideological and political course, contained part of its content.
But at the beginning, Hu Biao barely passed this course by focusing on the key points before the exam; after so many years of graduation, that little knowledge has long been returned to the teacher.
"Damn it, fat man. If you die, just die. You didn't forget to find this trouble for me."
Hu Biao, whose head hurt badly, immediately cursed at Fatty Huang on the ground; but he never thought about not fulfilling the factory owner's last wish...
