Sound waves accompanied by flames bloomed under the sky for a moment.
The human body was pushed away, blood shot into the air, the breath of fire burned across the person's face, and a broken corpse was smashed into the soldier's face. The war drums were still ringing, and some people reacted and rushed forward amidst shouts.
Some people were stunned by the sudden change. The sense of unknown made people’s hair stand on end.
The explosion of twenty rockets formed an irregular curve and cut through the 30,000-person military formation.
Then there were hoarse shouts and the neighing of war horses.
At the moment of the explosion, although it was loud and powerful in the vicinity, as the flames rushed out, the brittle and hard cast iron warheads sprayed out in all directions. In just one breath, the story about the rocket was over, and the flames
Burning on the broken corpses nearby, someone flew out a little further, and then the area affected by the fragments.
The surrounding soldiers who were still moving forward were covered with bloodstains, some of which were caused by the spilled blood, and some were caused by fragments that had been embedded in various parts of their bodies.
After the rules of physics were broken here, the laws of biology took over. The pain did not rise immediately after being shot. Because the explosion happened too fast and was too weird, the soldiers were not mentally prepared.
It was only a moment later that he discovered the injuries on his body. Someone sat up from the ground. The flames blackened the broken right half of his body, and the fragments damaged his hands, feet, waist, and abdomen. He flapped confusedly with his left hand.
The body was burnt black, and then the internal organs flowed out... More people screamed around him.
For these soldiers who were still advancing, these things were just changes in the blink of an eye. They were still more than two hundred feet away from the front. At the moment when the attack fell from the sky, some people didn't even know what was happening.
This feeling is the weirdest.
The three thousand horsemen who were lining up neatly along the river bank and slowly outflanking them to the south reacted the most. The rockets closed the distance in an instant and exploded six times in the team. After the artillery joined the battlefield, almost all the horses were fired.
They had gone through preliminary training to adapt to noise and explosions, but at this moment, as the flames sprayed out, the results of the training were ineffective - a small-scale chaos broke out in the cavalry, and the running horses collided with nearby knights.
The five thousand Yanshan Guard vanguard led by General Xi Lie had already charged forward.
In this moment, twenty explosions had not caused huge chaos in the huge military formation of 30,000 people. The Jurchen soldiers in the military formation did not have a broad view of the battlefield. But for the experienced generals in the army,
For them, the feeling of coldness and unknown has swept across the entire battlefield like a tide.
Xi Lie looked back and looked around. Wanyan Gulu stood on his slightly frightened horse and looked around. The Xiebao under the commander's banner looked back and noticed the flowers exploding on the battlefield - two of them exploded.
They all happened in the crowd a few feet away from him. The soldiers with keen reactions had already approached. In his field of vision, there were first yellow flames, then black scorched corpses, and then red blood. Further away, there were also
There is chaos going on.
The cold touch gripped him, and at this moment, he experienced the most nervous moment in his life.
The surroundings became quiet, his heart was beating wildly, and the surge of blood was counting for him. He raised the telescope, looked behind, and then turned to the front. In the distance of his field of vision, there was still the long-barrel object that the Chinese army had taken out and put on the shelf.
At the rear of the military formation, the explosion at the farthest point had almost surpassed the soldiers at the end, and the bridge was at the end behind them.
The Yanshan Guard forward was one hundred and fifty feet away from the Chinese army, and he was two hundred feet away from the strange formation of the Chinese army.
In the mountains more than ten miles away, the sounds of war were heard.
This year, Wanyan Xiebao was thirty-five years old. He was not a arrogant and lewd person. Judging from his consistent performance on the battlefield, he had not let down the Wanyan clan's world-beating record and pedigree for a long time.
It was also because of this that his wolf-like keen intuition gave him countless results and almost the only way out in this moment.
"Send the order for the entire army to charge."
Holding the reins of his horse, he looked ahead and said this. A terrifying possibility boiled in his mind, so much so that he couldn't even hear his own voice. The next moment he pulled out his sword and shouted towards the surroundings.
cried hysterically:
"Command the entire army to charge!"
There is a distance of more than two hundred feet. If two armies are facing each other, running at full strength at this distance will directly cause the momentum of an army to enter a period of decline, but there is no other choice.
Beside the I-frame of the Chinese military position, ten technicians were quickly writing numbers in notebooks with charcoal pens to calculate the angle that needed to be adjusted for the new round of bombardment.
Further ahead, the artillery was loaded. The soldiers looked at the Jurchen soldiers running forward and adjusted the muzzles of their muskets. Someone was exhaling heavily to stabilize their vision, and an ordering voice came from the side: "One team is ready!
"
In the Jurchen forward team, the soldiers pushing iron cannons were also running with all their strength, but the possibility that belonged to them had been permanently lost.
Beside Wanyan Xiebao, the soldiers responsible for the order blew the huge horn with all their strength, and the sound of "Ang——" swept through the formation of 30,000 people. The middle-level generals in the army who had experienced hundreds of battles were also looking around.
They were aware of the impact of the unusual explosion just now, and therefore, the moment they heard the horn sound, they also understood and agreed with Xie Bao's choice.
This was an unusual moment that was beyond everyone's imagination. The first time that technology that spanned the ages came to this land, the Jurchen army that faced it first chose to suppress the doubts and fears surging in their subconscious.
With his third breath, the earth shook.
Wanyan Xiebao, who was riding a war horse, was not charging at the front. As he shouted at the top of his lungs, soldiers spread out of his sight like a swarm of ants.
People's footsteps were running on the ground, and the black crowd was like a sea tide or a huge wave, pressing towards us from the distance of the field of vision. The horses on the river bank slightly south of the battlefield quickly formed a team and began to try to carry out their charge.
, the horse army general on this side is named Wen Sa. He once had a confrontation with Ning Yi in the northwest, and when he was beheaded at the top of Yanzhou City, Wen Sa was watching the scene below Yanzhou City.
In the years before going to the battlefield, he could find many reasons to treat the Han man in front of him with contempt or just equality. But in the few days before that, he faced six thousand people and faced him.
The arrogant behavior of thirty thousand people, he could also convince himself that this arrogant Han dog was finally crazy, but at the moment when the exploding object crossed the battlefield distance of nearly 300 feet and fell into the cavalry, at this moment
This Jurchen veteran with half white hair clearly remembered the stern and indifferent look in his opponent's eyes at the top of Yanzhou City.
The Jurchen commander Ci Bu Shi, who had been in power for half his life, was pinned on the head of Yanzhou City by the soldiers of the Chinese Army. Ci Bu Shi was still struggling. Ning Yi looked at the Zhong family soldier holding a big sword with cold eyes and shining the blade on it.
They chopped off the neck of the Jurchen hero. At that moment, they chopped off the head without missing a beat to pay homage to Zhong Lie, the general of the Western Army who preferred to die rather than surrender.
At this moment, in the field of view of the telescope, Wen Sa could see the cold eyes looking over here.
The horse team is still in chaos. The Chinese army holding muskets in front forms a semi-circular arc composed of straight lines. Some people are still facing the horse group here, and there are more people on the iron frame further away.
The long steel objects were being put up, and Wen Sa led the forwards who could still drive them and started running.
The infantry front line was drawn closer to 300 meters, close to the range of 200 meters. General Xi Lie, who was riding a horse on the side, saw the soldiers of the Chinese Army dropping their torches, the muzzles of the artillery sprayed out flames, and the artillery shells flew into the sky.
"Heaven protects——"
Xi Lie shouted loudly, and the charging generals also shouted loudly. Amidst the sound, the shells fell into the crowd, and the explosion blew up the human body high in the air.
Since the large-scale use of artillery, the power of the formation has been gradually weakened. The large-scale charge of the Jurchens at this moment cannot actually guarantee the compactness of the formation, but correspondingly, as long as they can run close
, Jurchen soldiers will also throw ignited fire thunders forward to ensure that the opponent has no advantage in the formation. As long as they cross this distance of less than a hundred feet, an attack of 30,000 people can engulf the 6,000 Chinese troops in front.
.
Some soldiers were blown away while running, and some fell to the ground, tripping their running companions - but even so, there were still only a few soldiers who were disrupted from the charging pace.
The distance continued to get closer, after crossing two hundred meters, and crossing one hundred and fifty meters, there were people holding their bows and firing arrows while running. On this side, the flag-raising hands of the Chinese army officers in the musket array had not wavered, and some soldiers even looked to the side.
At a glance, the arrows rose into the sky and flew over again. Someone was shot and staggered down.
"Don't move—get ready!"
The shouts contained the smell of blood and oppression.
One hundred meters later, the flag finally fell, and people shouted: "Let -"
The soldiers in the first row pulled the trigger, and the flames from the muzzle rose along with the smoke. There were a total of 1,200 soldiers heading towards the middle. Four hundred iron bullets rushed out of the gun chambers and flew toward the oncoming enemy like a barrier.
The coming Jurchen soldiers.
Blood bloomed, and a large number of soldiers rolled to the ground while running at high speed. However, there were still soldiers on the front line who rushed through the barrage. The shells roared in. In front of them, the first group of Chinese soldiers were squatting in the smoke and dust.
Next, another group of people raised their muskets.
"Second team! Aim—release!"
Another four hundred rounds of bullets swept over, more people fell while running, and then another round.
The Jin Kingdom veteran with thin hair but a burly and strong body rolled to the ground while running. He could feel something roaring across his head. This was a Jurchen veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles. He followed Lou Shi
He fought in the south and in the north, and even witnessed the destruction of the entire Liao Kingdom. But at the moment of the battle at Wangyuan Bridge, he fell to the ground with a sudden feeling of weakness in his right leg.
The shield in his hand flew far away, and his body rolled on the ground - he tried hard not to hurt himself with the steel knife in his hand - after rolling twice, he gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but the entire right calf was damaged.
The feeling of pain and weakness came back to him. He clutched his thigh and tried to see clearly the injury on his calf. A body fell to the ground in his field of vision. It was a companion who was following the charge. Half of his face exploded and turned red.
Yellow and white colors splashed across his head.
The Chinese army's artillery shells were still flying past, and the veteran finally remembered to look at the situation around him. Among the chaotic figures, countless people were falling and rolling in the field of vision, and corpses or wounded soldiers were spread across the entire grassland.
Only a handful of forward soldiers were within ten feet of the Chinese army's human wall, and the human wall was still raising their muskets.
At the same moment, something even more terrifying flew over his head.
This time, the entire land burst into intense roaring sounds.
It was still three o'clock in the afternoon, and the fear that had been suppressed for a short time finally bloomed in the hearts of some Jurchen soldiers——
…
The second round of rockets was loaded first, with three launchers facing the direction of the cavalry led by Wen Sa. This time, it was fully loaded with fifteen rockets. At the same time, the remaining seven launchers were calibrated for the 30,000 Jurchen army.
There are areas of different distances separated by thirty feet in the middle.
At this time, the distance between the cavalry and the Chinese army's position, which was trying to bypass the front line of the Chinese army, had been shortened to 150 feet. However, in a short period of time, they failed to distance themselves from each other. Fifteen rockets were fired one after another.
Crossing the sky, it landed in the midst of the cavalry charging forward in a diagonal line.
Flames and air waves swept across the ground, smoke and dust rose suddenly, and the war horses were larger than people. When the bomb fragments swept out, the six or seven nearby war horses rolled down to the ground as if they were being harvested, and they were closer to the explosion.
On the horses, the bloody holes caused by shrapnel were as dense as flowers. The moment fifteen rockets fell, about fifty of them fell immediately, but the area where the rockets fell was like a barrier. In the blink of an eye,
, more than a hundred cavalry formed a chain and rolled down, stampeded, countless horses neighed and ran wildly on the battlefield, some horses collided with their companions, and chaos spread in the huge smoke and dust.
In the direction of the infantry, more and more dark soldiers surged towards a distance of two hundred meters, and countless shouts rang out. At the same time, thirty-five rockets named "Dijiang"
The bombs were fired at the Jurchen infantry. This was the first round of saturation firing. Almost all the Chinese Army technical soldiers were sweating. The air waves of flames crisscrossed the air and the smoke was filled. It was almost overwhelming.
They can't even open their eyes themselves.
Thirty-five rays of light were like fireworks rising densely into the sky in later generations, rushing over the bloodthirsty wave composed of Jurchens. The next scene was seen by everyone.
Thirty thousand people charged amidst hysterical shouts. The dark scene and the loud shouts made people's brains soar. Ning Yi had participated in many battles, but after the Huaxia Military City, such a battle was carried out on the plains.
This is actually the first time for a large-scale battle.
What flashed through his mind was the battle he experienced outside Bianliang City many years ago. The Jurchens rushed over and hundreds of thousands of King Qin's troops retreated like a sea tide in the wilderness outside Bianliang City. No matter where he went, he could see
No matter where they went, no army caused any trouble to the Jurchens.
Now, 30,000 such elite Jurchens rushed towards them hysterically.
"...Tell me, what are they shouting so loudly?"
"Kill your whole family."
"...Oh" Ning Yi nodded, "After this round of shooting, have the two launchers aim at Wanyan Xiebao's handsome flag. If he wants to leave, kill him."
The air wave of the explosion is spreading on the ground. In this formation of the whole army charging, each rocket can almost take away the combat effectiveness of more than ten Jurchen soldiers - they either died on the spot, or were seriously injured and rolled on the ground screaming.
——The simultaneous launch of thirty-five rockets created a vacuum of blood and fire in the sea of Jurchens.
Wanyan Xiebao had completely understood the meaning of what flashed across his eyes. He didn't understand why the opponent's second round of launches didn't come towards his commander's flag, but he didn't choose to run away.
Just when the entire forward force of the 30,000-strong army entered the 100-meter range and the Chinese army's guns and artillery fired, Wanyan Xiebao was ready to make a desperate move.
He is a Jurchen, the son of a hero, and like his fathers, he wants to seize a glimmer of life from this world.
At this time, on the mountain battlefield called Shiling more than ten miles away, Wanyan Zonghan was waiting for the first round of battle reports from the direction of Wangyuan Bridge...
