Chapter 1909 Keeping pace with the times, fierce fire tactics
In a desperate move, the only tactic Wanyan Salihu could adopt was to lead the city's daredevil troops to attempt a night attack on the siege equipment that destroyed the city's defenses. Taking advantage of the moonlight, the cavalry of the brigade moved as fast as the wind, and they rushed out and were approaching.
Not far from the front of Zhouguan City, in front of the Qi army barracks lined with various siege equipment, many bright steel knives were immediately pulled out of their sheaths, reflecting the shimmering cold light of the moonlight, and headed straight towards
The camp ahead swept out.
In the Qi army formation, there was the sound of clappers being hurriedly banged by the soldiers on night patrol, the anti-horse guns set up in front of the stronghold, the antler array, and even the scattered arrow clusters hurriedly fired from the opposite side.
Sa Lihe was as expected. After all, Jinzhou was the place that guarded the northeastern corner of the Jin Kingdom, where it prospered, and now it is the only key gateway to the territory. It also mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses to surprise the enemy.
If you can see results, it will be worth it even if you pay a certain amount of casualties, and it is far better than just being passively beaten!
Now that they have entered the Qi army's camp, they did not delay for long. Taking advantage of the night to rest, the infantry used to fight against the dense spear formations of the cavalry. The soldiers had not yet had time to arrange themselves!
Wanyan Salihe, who personally led nearly ten thousand troops and horses to rush out of the city, thought to himself, and the Jin Army cavalry galloping in the front suddenly burst out with beast-like roars, seemingly wanting to vent the suffering they had suffered over the past few days.
The murderous resentment accumulated by the Qi army's continuous artillery and stone bombardment. The Jurchen Meng'an, one of the leading members of the group, had a particularly ferocious and bloodthirsty look in his eyes. He suddenly looked at the layers of objects that looked like sandbags piled up in the stronghold in front of him.
, although they were arranged in a ring, they were only as high as a person's chest. Riding on the horse and looking back, many seemingly hasty and chaotic Qi soldiers pushed out another
Clumsy cabinet-like objects are also lined up from the gap behind the barrier made of sandbags...
Those Nanbarbarians, what kind of trick are they trying to use?
Although they were puzzled, the large group of Golden Army knights, including the Jurchen Meng'an, saw that the barrier stacked up in a row was no taller than one person, and they were able to jump straight over with their horses. They were arranged in the rear.
The row that opened seemed to be a cabinet made of wrought copper, and there was no sharp tip protruding from the front, nor did it seem to be a device to resist the impact of war horses. They attacked the enemy camp at night, and many soldiers of the Qi army on the opposite side were also rushing towards this place in a panic.
Come on, except for the enemy infantry in the first few columns, they have not yet gathered into a dense formation. If the front is full of explosive artillery, stone and firearms, the power of which must be feared, the soldiers will rush forward to fight.
, but aren’t they going to be blown up into the sky too?
How can these tricks be useless? What's more, if the opponent dares not to move because of the opponent's suspicions, how can Jinzhou be able to defend it!?
Therefore, even if they did not understand the intention of the Qi army on the opposite side and rushed to the siege camp in an attempt to destroy the Jin army arrayed in front of the city wall in response to the enemy's siege equipment, they could only ignore what they thought. The whole earth trembled more and more, and the Jurchens were full of vigor.
Roaring wildly, a pair of bloodthirsty eyes stared at the enemy array in front. The sabers and lances in their hands were all raised up, and they were already making movements to urge their horses to leap and kill. It was just that the horse was riding
The formation was mixed with some who had fought against the powerful troops under Xiao Tang's command in the past. When he vaguely glanced at the past and was surprised to find the equipment lined up behind the sandbag barriers in front of him, he screamed and warned, but it was no longer possible to stop the group.
The momentum of riding a fast gallop...
Wei Dingguo, who was already prepared to be wary of the Jin army who was very likely to leave the city for a night attack, had already commanded his divine fire soldiers to line up in position. When he saw the enemy cavalry on the opposite side approaching, and the murderous whirlwind surrounding Chongxiao was approaching, he felt refreshed and immediately
Suddenly he drew his sword and shouted fiercely. The fierce fire oil tank arranged at the front immediately spit out long tongues of flames, and the raging fire immediately illuminated the night!
Countless tongues of fire suddenly spurted out in front of the Qi army's formation, seemingly turning into a rolling fire dragon that immediately enveloped a large number of Golden Army knights in front of them, including men and horses. Along with the Shenhuo soldiers who controlled the fierce fire oil tank, they pulled hard.
The pump continued to apply pressure in the oil tank, causing the fierce flames to spurt out continuously. The Jin Army cavalry, who had eyes wide open with anger and swords in hand, suddenly felt that the scene in front of them in the night was almost blinding.
A bright light burst out, and was immediately swallowed up by fierce fire. Even though he was covered with armor, every inch of his skin was still inevitably suffering from the endless pain of being burned by the high temperature. No one could bear it, and they all screamed like killing pigs.
Despite the pitiful howls, who can continue to fight hard!?
Due to the inertia of the group of cavalry rushing forward, the large number of Jin Army cavalry in the rear had not yet reacted to the sudden situation in front, and they were unable to stop their momentum at all. Many cavalry, including men and horses, even plunged into the sea of fire.
In an instant, there were a large number of casualties among the Jin Army cavalry. None of the riders who crashed into the flames could escape the fate of having their skin scorched and their flesh rotten. They could only struggle for a moment and then die happily!
However, it was precisely because of the inertia of the high-speed galloping that it was difficult to stop the momentum. Many of the war horses, which were wrapped in fire, were still screaming and running wildly for a while, but they bumped into the bags filled with stones and sand that had been arranged in front of the Qi army.
On the bag, this can also slow down the impact of the Jin Army cavalry that was swallowed up by the fierce fire to the greatest extent.
Even a heavy sandbag somewhere was still knocked over by the Jin soldiers and horses covered in fire, igniting the flames on one side of the divine fire soldiers led by Wei Dingguo. Shan Tinggui, who had been supervising the battle, immediately led his subordinates to fight.
The soldiers stepped forward and used water bags, water bladders, pumps, hemp bags... and other fire-setting equipment to quickly extinguish the fire, and then covered it with sand and soil to control the spread of the fire. In this way, with
Bounded by sandbag barriers arranged in a ring, the fire soaring into the sky was clearly distinguishable from time to time. On one side, the raging flames continued, making the sky all over the Jinzhou City wall red, and like a fiery hell, it continued to devour the flesh and blood of the Jin army's soldiers and horses.
, but on one side, the Qi army's troops and horses gathered together were still able to form a dense formation with almost no injuries...
As for Wanyan Salihe, who personally led the elite cavalry out of the city for a night attack, he was shocked to see the tragic and horrific scene in front of him. Even though he reacted very quickly, he immediately pulled the reins to stop the galloping horse, but the soaring horse
The fire burst out, and the war horse he was riding was so startled that it neighed like crazy and ran around. Wanyan Salihe, who was an expert in riding, couldn't control it, and rushed straight to the horse's back and was killed.
It flipped over and fell all over the floor, looking for teeth!
When Wanyan Salihe, who had a black forehead and blood oozing from the corner of his mouth after falling, got up in disgrace, he immediately felt a blazing wave of heat coming over him, which heated up his eyebrows and beard and curled them up, exposing his
The skin also suddenly felt burning pain! Although Wanyan Salihe and the large number of Jin Army horses around him luckily escaped the tragic end of being devoured by the fire, the horses they were riding on were still instinctively sensitive to fire as an animal.
You will feel fear. Although you are used to seeing tragic battles and sudden changes, you will easily go crazy with fear. However, in the night, a huge fire suddenly erupted in front of your eyes. No matter how well-trained war horses are, what will happen?
Won’t you scream and go crazy!?
A large number of war horses were suddenly frightened, and then broke out in a chaos that was like exploding a camp. Many Jin Army cavalry could not control it, and they all fell off their horses one after another. Many of them were trampled and hissed by themselves.
The horse was trampled to pieces and died. On the side of the Qi army, Wei Dingguo heard the chaotic sounds of the Jin army on the opposite side becoming more and more intense. He bared his teeth and sneered, and then hissed: "Those who are imprisoned, even if they are still alive,
Now that the slaves are here, how can they teach you how to escape easily?"
