After receiving Hu Biao’s order of ‘no shot left’.
The warehouse manager who commanded the New Army's rocket artillery division did not immediately issue an order to launch immediately to his subordinates who were looking at him eagerly.
He held a red flag and pointed it at a hot air balloon over his position, and the lookout hand on it began to wave vigorously.
That boy was also quite savvy, and he instantly understood what Mr. Cangguan meant.
After a maximum of one minute, a bamboo tube was thrown down from above.
The warehouse manager took out a piece of manuscript from the bamboo tube and after a quick glance at the contents, he almost laughed like a pig on the spot.
Why? Because it says:
The Jurchens took the "Iron Buddha" as the vanguard, and the other 70,000 cavalry followed behind.
In addition, at a further position, there was a hardcore traitor troop with fifty or sixty thousand servants and cavalry, slowly increasing their horse speed from the position directly in front of them.
It seems that they will enter a state of full charge soon.
At this time, the "Iron Buddha" heavy cavalry at the front was only about eight or nine miles away from their launching position.
Their current version, specifically called the 'Congreve III Rocket', is exactly within the range of nine to fifteen miles in front of the position based on the currently prepared launch angle.
Damn it! It can be said that it is such a coincidence, and it is such a good coincidence.
This was considered a desperate charge by the Jurchens, and they just ran headlong into their fire range without even slightly adjusting their angle.
After realizing this, what else does the warehouse management need to consider?
Pulling up his throat, he finally yelled: "Ignite, launch~"
In fact, it was not very accurate for the warehouse manager to yell out such an order with a broken voice, because under his order, the soldiers guarding the rockets one after another did not make any move to ignite them.
Just out of instinct, I pulled hard on a fuse at the bottom of the rocket.
The main reason is that the 'Congreve Rocket', which has been improved twice in succession by Brother Langqing, has already reached an advanced level of automatic firing.
There is no need to hold a torch and foolishly go over to light a fire.
After pulling the fuse, all the soldiers ran away at least seven or eight meters like rabbits.
There's no way! Congreve III rockets, before they are shot out with a 'whoosh'.
From behind the butt, a huge stream of flames and thick smoke will spurt out.
If one is not careful, not to mention the serious consequences of being burned by the flames; just being choked by the billowing smoke may cause someone to choke and faint...
Of course, these little things above are not important to the current battlefield.
What's important is that within a few seconds, a total of 3,560 rockets took off from the launching position.
Not to mention that after these rockets took off one by one, the warehouse manager shouted again with a broken voice:
"Why are everyone so dazed? Hurry up and put the remaining rockets on the rack, and then use the angle just now to launch them all for me.
Remember! If there is not even one left, our rocket launcher divisions will have a hard time from now on."
Under the urging of such an order, all the personnel of the rocket launcher division did not even bother to take a second look at the scene of so many rockets taking off.
They were running around one by one, busy like a swarm of bees.
Therefore, except for the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the rocket launcher division, almost everyone on the battlefield raised their heads one after another after sensing something.
In the following time, they saw the most shocking scene in their lives:
Rockets filled the sky, above their heads, dragging bright tail fins full of eerie beauty across the sky.
If coupled with the billowing smoke they emitted, even at this moment, the huge movement covered the sun in the sky.
It was obviously almost noon, but it seemed like it would get dark soon.
Under such a huge psychological impact, both sides temporarily forgot to continue fighting, causing the battlefield to fall into a strange calm for a short period of time.
Whether you are a veteran of both sides who participated in the Battle of Zhuxian Town and has seen a rocket wash.
Regardless of whether they were newly recruited soldiers, they all had the same scene with their mouths wide open and everyone was dumbfounded.
Especially among the rookie recruits, their sluggish expressions were particularly serious.
No one else! Even the rookies have heard more than once from the mouths of veterans how shocking the scene in Zhuxian Town was.
However, the number of rockets launched this time was almost ten times that of Zhuxian Town.
When they were launched together, the spectacular or terrifying scene that streaked through the air still exceeded the limit of their imagination.
Such a dazed state actually did not last for too long.
Because after taking off and flying for up to thirty seconds, these rockets were already facing the ground one after another, and they plunged down so fast that no one had time to dodge or move.
Then, it became clear that these rockets, beneath their beautiful appearance when flying, were actually murderous and weaponless in nature.
In the shocking explosion sound that almost makes people lose their hearing, there are all kinds of flying flames, dense fragments, terrifying explosion impact and so on.
It can be said that in a very short period of five or six seconds, an area of more than ten kilometers in radius was covered.
Such an astonishing scene like the earth shattering, as if the end of the world has come, makes people worry about whether anyone in the Jin Kingdom's only huge cavalry force can survive...
****
So what! Of course some people can survive the scene of rockets washing the ground, or most of the Jin people survived.
After all, such an old-fashioned black powder rocket is far less lethal than the modern ones filled with TNT and RDX.
Another most critical reason is that the number of Jin cavalry is too large.
As a result, even after they gathered together, the range when preparing to charge was too large.
On the surface, the effect of this wave of rockets washing the ground seems very alarming; in fact, in the vast area covered by the rockets, there are still most places that have not been affected by the power of the explosion.
Therefore, after this round of explosions that seemed extremely fierce to the outside world, Wanyan Zongbi, the Jin general, and Wanyan Wu Qingbuy, the Jin emperor, both survived.
Even in such a violent explosion, neither of them had a single hair injured.
It's a pity that although these two people were not injured at all, the impact and trauma on their hearts were unimaginable.
For example, Wanyan Zongbi is the famous Jin Wu Shu.
Continuous explosions occurred about a minute later.
In the dust and smoke that had calmed down a bit, he saw that with the full strength of his subordinates, the whole nation was able to build an "Iron Buddha" with a scale of 5,000 people, which could be called a national artifact.
In past memories, as long as they charged into the battlefield, many of the heavily armored warriors would be unstoppable, but now they were all knocked to the ground.
Even when he was close to his opponent, he fell down a lot.
The bodies of the people and horses were covered in dazzling blood, and they had already lost their voices.
Compared with some other unlucky ones, these Iron Buddha warriors who simply died were actually quite lucky.
Because there are still many warriors and war horses, which are now ignited by the flames.
Some sticky flames clung to the men and horses, and the thick iron armor on their bodies burned like maggots on their tarsal bones.
Although for a while, these flames were far from burning through the armor.
But the armor couldn't hold up and soon became scalding hot. After burning their clothes, it stuck to their flesh like a red-hot iron.
Such severe pain caused a Jurchen warrior to let out a piercing scream, wishing that he would be killed directly.
What's even worse is that the war horses selected by the 'Iron Buddha' immediately went crazy.
They tried to run wildly in multiple directions uncontrollably, but the iron chains connecting them made this impossible.
Soon after, these war horses fell to the ground one after another under the pull of each other. At the same time, they also pressed the knights above them under the horses, making it impossible for them to even get up.
They can only wait silently for death to come, because the flames on their bodies make people around them afraid to come forward.
After seeing such a scene, Wanyan Zongbi's heart was bleeding, right?
As for the situation of Wanyan Wu begging for money and the Jurchen Qingqi around him, although it was better than that at the Iron Buddha Temple, it was not much better.
Looking around, there were corpses of men and horses that had been killed by the explosion, or war horses that had gone crazy due to fright.
That situation was so chaotic that this guy almost couldn't breathe. His eyes went dark and he placed his bet, and he just drew it.
In short, even the senior officials of the Jin Kingdom had already made good psychological preparations for the Song Dynasty's rocket attack.
We have been prepared for a long time. Our personnel will definitely suffer considerable losses from such rockets.
It's just that when unimaginable rockets hit, the damage would be so huge that they would be unable to react.
In other words, he was stunned by the bombing on the spot.
It has to be said that elite Jurchens such as Wanyan Wu Qingbuy and Wanyan Zongbi have terrifyingly tough personalities. Even under the current circumstances, they still have no intention of giving up.
Almost at the same time, Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Zongbi shouted something almost the same:
"Don't be chaotic, don't be chaotic. Think about it, if we lose this battle, even though the world is huge, there will be no way for our Jurchens to survive. For the sake of our Jurchens' survival, regroup and follow me and charge forward.
Even if you die, you will have to defeat the Song army before you die."
Soon after, under such an extremely cruel reality, more Jurchen veterans and officers also reacted.
Based on the destructive consequences of genocide, although they still had various expressions of huge fear on their faces, they still shouted.
Trying to improve the scattered queues and low morale again.
It was only after such efforts that it had some effect, a devastating blow came again.
When the cry of "Grandpa Tian, those deadly things are here again" fell into the ears of Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Zongbi.
The two of them raised their heads instinctively, and their molars were chewed to bits on the spot.
Because after seeing the horrifying scene that represented another wave of rockets and the sky-filled fire, it once again pierced the sky.
Even their iron-clad nerves collapsed at this moment.
Not long after, a horrific explosion scene occurred, once again reenacted on the battlefield...
When the second rocket attack took place for a minute or two, the people on both sides who were not affected on the battlefield began to react again from the huge shock.
But after reacting, there was a completely different behavior.
The morale of the Song Dynasty was naturally soared to the extreme. Even the civilians in the rear were full of fighting courage at this moment.
Correspondingly, the Jin people lost all courage to fight.
Even in the two launches with a very short interval, the warehouse manager perfectly managed to send out all the rockets without a single one left. There was no more left.
But on the Jin side, they don’t know this.
More than 7,000 rockets washed the ground. Such an attack method and power that exceeded the limit of their endurance caused the cannon fodder troops of the Jin people to completely collapse immediately.
First, on the battlefield on the left wing, the troops of the Ever Victorious Army were the first to collapse.
They turned around desperately, turned around, threw down their weapons, took off their armor, and began to flee in the direction of Yanjing City.
Then a chain reaction was caused in the two positions of the center army and the right wing. A group of cannon fodder, and even the hardcore cannon fodder troops, also joined in such an escape process.
Even the Jurchens who supervised the battle were subjected to such repeated blows.
With the same instinctive fear, they turned their horses' heads one after another and fled towards Yanjing City or the vast wilderness.
For a time, on the vast battlefield, the Jin people staged a scene of overwhelming defeat in front of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
This is actually not completely correct.
Because after another rocket attack washed away the ground, Wanyan Zongbi looked at Wanyan Zongbi who had no fighting courage except panic and helplessness on his face, even though more than half of the Iron Buddha Temple was still around him.
You can't even tell that they were completely defeated.
Just like the short-lived Golden Kingdom, it has also entered a countdown to its demise.
Under such circumstances, Wanyan Zongbi let out a long roar like a wounded beast, in extreme pain.
After the long whistle fell, another sentence came out of his mouth:
"If you want to escape for your life, then go your separate ways.
If there are still people who are not afraid of death and are not willing to die like this, then follow me and continue to charge, let the people of Song Dynasty know that we Jurchens still have men who are not afraid of death~"
After saying that, Wanyan Zongbi and the four personal guards around him joined together.
They whipped their horses one after another and began to charge, rushing towards their opponents whose morale was soaring.
Behind him, there were now more than 3,000 heavy cavalrymen from the Iron Buddha. After some hesitation, there were only 500 or 600 people, and they finally followed their general up.
The others lowered their heads silently, untied the iron chains connecting each other, turned their horses' heads and began to flee.
While running wildly, he kept throwing all kinds of heavy weapons and armor from his horse.
In the end, all that was left was to see the figures, all wearing single clothes, hunched back, quickly leaving on horseback, like wild dogs with their backs broken.
There is no trace of the majesty and momentum of the past, the invincible number one heavy cavalry in the world.
Wanyan Wu's begging situation was similar to Wanyan Zongbi's situation here. After this moment, His Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, also knew that everything was over.
The Kingdom of Jin is over, the Jurchens are over, and everything is over.
At such a moment, as the rulers of the Jin Kingdom and the leaders of the Jurchen clan, they could only summon up the last bit of bloody courage.
In other words, with all the unwillingness and anger in my heart, I launched the final suicidal charge, and there was no other possibility.
Looking at the position more than a mile ahead, Wanyan Zongbi led hundreds of iron pagodas to attack the scene.
Wanyan Wu Qimai glanced at the people around him, who were also extremely panicked. Those nobles of the Jurchen clan, civil and military officials, and soldiers from the Kingdom of Jin.
I originally planned to shout some inspiring words, but after muttering a few times, I just shouted:
"The Kingdom of Jin will never perish~"
Then, he whipped the war horse hard, brandished a golden sword in his hand, and followed Wanyan Zongbi alone.
Behind him, there were currently 40,000 to 50,000 Jurchen cavalry, as well as more hardcore traitor cavalry troops.
But in the end, only seven to eight thousand people followed and rushed forward.
There were hundreds of thousands of huge cavalry left, and most of them began to flee in many directions. Many of them were nobles of the Jurchen clan, as well as important ministers of the Jin Kingdom.
There were also a small group of officials who looked at each other.
He began to call on his subordinates to drop their weapons, dismount and kneel down, while they arranged their clothes and armor and prepared for personal appearance when surrendering.
These people had some connections with Dongchang's fans as early as after the First World War in Zhuxian Town.
Otherwise, how could all the fans under Gong Chang Gong develop so prosperously in the Northland in just a few months?
In short, at this moment, everyone knew that this broken ship of Daikin was about to sink.
But when the ship sank, some people planned to sink with the ship, while others planned to get on a new ship; an extremely wonderful scene of all living beings was staged here...
