Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 907

For field artillery, the Song Army's requirement is to be able to move with the attacking troops.In the past two years, we did not do well, but in the past two years, the technology has matured.The army formation in front seemed to be slowing down, but was actually waiting for the artillery to be set up.After firing a shot or two, the artillery continued to move forward with the infantry formation.

Wanyan Benjian's luck was bad, as soon as the battle started, he encountered Cao Zhiyan's troops who were proficient in artillery.

At this time, the effective range of the artillery is about two to three miles. Even if you retreat, you have to withstand the artillery bombardment of one mile.In addition, the artillery moved forward with the infantry, and before they came into contact with the Song army, they would be constantly attacked by artillery.

There may be many ways to deal with the Song Army, but at this time, the Jin Army has not figured it out either.Moreover, the Jin Army did not have this ability to maintain its formation under artillery shells.After retreating a hundred or two hundred steps, the whole army collapsed.

Looking at the chaotic retreat of the Jin army through the telescope, Cao Zhiyan said: "Instruct all armies not to mess up their formations! After arriving at the Jin army's barracks ahead, listen to military orders!"

The surrounding soldiers said, and Pegasus notified the chasing regiments.

An Bo said: "A few rounds of cannon broke up the Jin army, which was unexpected."

Cao Zhiyan said: "It's not surprising. Even in our army, after many drills, we don't know what to do when we encounter such a situation suddenly. To deal with artillery, our army's experience is that we can only use artillery. Now in the Jin army, how can we deal with it?" Artillery capable of following the infantry!"

Although the Jin Army had artillery, the artillery carriages for transporting artillery, although there were samples, could not be produced anyway.The Jin Army's artillery carriages were quite heavy and inflexible.Even moving between cities is quite laborious. How can it be possible to advance with the army?
Wang Xiaolie's industrial base in the Luo River Valley produces gears, bearings, etc. that cannot be made anywhere else.Although it looks inconspicuous, a qualified steel shaft and a set of qualified bearings are crucial to the transportation system.Without these simple parts, the built vehicle would either not be able to move fast, or the entire vehicle would fall apart after taking a few steps, and would simply not be able to keep up with the pace of the troops.

Facing Wang Xiaolie's army, the Jin army must have a process of adaptation.During this process, Jin Jun had no power to fight back.

On the top of the city, Wu Jie and Liu Qi were stunned.Watching the Jin army being hit by two or three rounds of artillery as they advanced, they all collapsed and they didn't even fight the Song army.The fleeing Jin army, with their flags scattered, discarded their helmets and armor, ran desperately back to their barracks.

After being stunned for a while, Wu Jie hurriedly said to the soldiers beside him: "Invite the Commander-in-Chief quickly! Please invite the Commander-in-Chief to watch the battle from the top of the city!"

Not long after, Zhao Ding arrived at the top of the city with Qi Chongli, Fu Songqing and others.While looking outside, he asked Wu Jie: "How is the war going?"

Wu Jie said: "The Jin army fled before firing an arrow, and before Cao Dutong fought, they fled. Dudu, look quickly, the Jin army has retreated to the Jin camp, and the Song army is about to attack."

Zhao Ding looked at the battle situation outside, the Jin army had been driven back to the barracks by Cao Zhiyan's troops, Wan Yan Ben saw that the army was being reorganized.The Song army chasing outside had a clear banner and a neat lineup, and had already surrounded the Jin army's barracks.

After watching for a while, Zhao Ding said: "How did Cao Dutong fight? How could the Jin army escape without fighting?"

Wu Jie said: "Cao Du unleashed two rounds of artillery, and the Jin army was completely defeated."

Zhao Ding bowed his head and thought for a while, then said: "On the battlefield, Cao Jun can also use artillery? Why can't we do it?"

Wu Jie was a little embarrassed, and said: "If you use artillery on the battlefield, you may hit your own people, or the artillery will not be able to keep up with you when you attack."

Zhao Ding said: "Then why doesn't Cao Dutong's army have these problems?"

Wu Jie said: "After years of training, Cao Dutong's army will naturally be the same as our army."

After Zhao Ding heard this, he said nothing and just stared at the battle situation outside.

The camp was naturally different from the plain, with walls and various protective facilities, which blocked the Song Army's artillery outside and blocked the line of sight.

When they got outside the wall of the village, Cao Zhiyan ordered the artillery to be pushed forward, aimed at the wall of the village, and blasted fiercely.

Wanyan Ben saw that he was so angry in the barracks that he urgently ordered the troops.Before the tidying up was finished, a cannon shot was heard, and a large part of the wall of the village had collapsed.

Looking back, Wanyan ran to see the cavalry in front of him and said, "The Song Army only relies on artillery. Today we have no way to retreat. Every commander of the corps died in the battle, and all four of them were killed; even the commander of the corps died in the battle. All the leaders will be killed; hundreds of leaders will die in battle, and all the leaders will be killed. Everyone works together to move forward, and there will be a heavy reward after victory!"

Everyone shouted together, and the voice shook the sky.

Wanyan Yuying came over, folded her hands and sang.

Wanyan Benjian pulled Wanyan Yuying aside, and said in a low voice: "Today's battle situation, I'm afraid the situation is over. We have more than 4 people, we can't all die here. I will take the soldiers and horses to face the Song army, and you immediately organize the other soldiers and horses." , fled to the north. Our army is full of cavalry. As long as there is a little time, the Song army will definitely not be able to catch up. After arriving in Pingyao County, organize the army there. City, all the way back to Taiyuan."

Wanyan Yuying said: "What should I do, Your Majesty?"

Wanyan Benjian said: "You don't have to worry about me. If things are not good, I will retreat. If I can catch up with you, I will catch up. If I can't catch up, I will find another way."

Wanyan Yuying looked at Wanyan Benjian and nodded heavily.

Wanyan Ben said: "The [-] troops will be handed over to you. The Song army who came here must be weak, and you must not act without authorization!"

After finishing speaking, Wanyan Benjian got on his horse, nodded to Wanyan Kuying, and rushed out of the village with the Jin army.

Outside the camp, the Song army had already lined up.Two hundred steps away from the wall of the village, Song Jun held a bow and crossbow, and his spirit was like a mountain.

Wang Xiao's habit of hunting troops, no matter whether they are archers or crossbowmen, they can use swords and guns.If the two armies are far apart, they attack with bows and crossbows.If it is relatively close, put away the bow and crossbow and replace it with knives and guns.So the crossbowman looks very strange. When using a knife and gun, he has to carry a long and hard crossbow behind his back.

In order to adapt to this kind of combat situation, the army generally does not pay attention to strong bows and crossbows, and the physical strength of soldiers is limited, and excessive physical exertion when archery is not allowed.The real battle is when changing knives and guns, when you are in close contact with the enemy.

Of course, at the front of the team, there were two rows of tall and big grenadiers.

Wanyan Benjian personally beat the drums at the back of the team, the drums kept beating, and the attacking soldiers were not allowed to turn back.

The golden army was divided into five rows, armed with long spears, followed the beat of the drum, and marched forward without looking back.After walking not far, a shell hit, and five or six people fell down like cutting wheat.

The formation of the Jin army was not chaotic at all. Those in front fell, and those behind followed up, pressing forward in a black mass.

At this time, the Song Army's artillery was already proficient. Facing the Jin Army, the artillery shells kept hitting the army formation one after another.Every time the Jin army moved forward, almost a corpse would be left behind.Sometimes, there are even more than one, and I don't know how many Jin troops fell on the road.

However, the Jin army's formation was not chaotic at all.One after another, they stepped forward firmly.

When we criticize a person, we often say that the person is disorganized and undisciplined, and only wants to show his heroism.For many people, heroism is considered a good quality and they do not understand this kind of criticism.In fact, the meaning of this kind of criticism can only be understood after going through the battlefield.

The army is an organized armed group, and the core lies in the organization.Only by understanding this can we truly understand the army and its combat effectiveness.

The organization of the Jin Army is very simple, and the command can be said to be crude.But, what's really scary is the execution.In this army, not those who retreat will die, but those who dare to turn back in the formation will die, and those in the back row can be directly chopped off with a knife.The progress will not stop until the last soldier falls.

Zhao Ding, who was at the top of the city, saw that hundreds of Jin soldiers had fallen. The drums were beating and the march forward would not stop. He couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.It makes me shudder to think about such an army of several thousand people, charging towards me without fear of casualties.

Wu Jie and Liu Qi couldn't help but sigh.They are warriors, they are used to seeing casualties, so of course they won't be frightened by the hundreds of corpses of the Golden Army.What they fear is the Jin Army's indomitable momentum.The two knew that the Shaanxi Army under their command had absolutely no such momentum, and it was very possible that they would even be intimidated by the Jin Army's momentum.

This is the real desperate way of the Jin army, that is, to use the dead bodies of their own people to pave the way for the attack at all costs.Regardless of whether it is a mountain, a river, or a rain of bullets, use your own life to pave the way, and let the people behind step on your body to move forward.

As long as they can withstand such an attack, they are likely to win against the Jin Army.

In recent years, Wang Xiaolie has always emphasized the organization of the army and strengthened the discipline of the army.After several years, the soldiers who couldn't even tell the difference between their left and right feet understood why they went to the battlefield, why they fought, and how to fight.

When watching the movie "Blood Battle at Taierzhuang" in the previous life, Wang Xiaolie was also excited and excited when he saw the death squads throw away the ocean they sent and went to the battlefield without hesitation.Now I understand that this just shows that the army is not well organized and has to adopt this method.Just like today's Jin army, under the harsh punishment and cruel law, they had to use this method to attack the enemy.

When the death squads in Taierzhuang threw Dayang away and used their lives to fight against the Japanese army, it showed that they should have had a better way.It's just that the people haven't awakened yet, the officers haven't realized it yet, and that army hasn't been reborn yet.

If this method works, during the battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, he would not be defeated by an enemy with worse equipment, fewer people than himself, and insufficient fighting will, and would not be chased all over the mountain like a rabbit.At that time, the Japanese army only had a higher degree of organization than the national army, and nothing else.But a high degree of organization is enough.

Compared with the Jin army, Cao Zhiyan's army is as organized as the sky and the ground.Moreover, there are more people, better equipment, and higher fighting will. It is a joke to be intimidated by the Jin army.

There were more and more dead bodies on the ground, and the Jin army was getting closer and closer to the Song army, slowly entering the range of the crossbow.

Suddenly, a trumpet sounded from the Song Army's position, the sound was clear and short, one after another.With the sound of the trumpet, the rain of arrows fell from the sky.

I don't know how many people in the Jin army fell down, twisting and wailing on the ground.The Jin Jun behind was like an emotionless robot. The steel knife and spear in his hand mercilessly pierced into the body of Jin Jun who fell on the ground, and continued to move forward.

Nearly a hundred steps later, the formation of the Jin army had almost not changed. It was still neat and tidy and marching forward inexorably.But behind them, they left an unknown number of corpses.

The Song army in front couldn't see all this. In their eyes, only the Jin army came up in darkness, with unprecedented momentum and soul-stirring.

Zhao Ding at the top of the wall felt cold all the time, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe out.I have never seen such a scene in my life, and it makes people almost breathless.

Wu Jie and Liu Kai sighed secretly.If you have such an army, what kind of battle can you not win?How could you be so useless?
Of course Song Jun was also afraid, but their daily training and constant ideological education made them transcend this fear.In their eyes, there is not much difference between the golden army opposite them, whether they have green faces and fangs or handsome features, they are just enemies.

What to do when facing an enemy?If they want to die, of course let them die.

When the two armies were about fifty steps apart, a trumpet sounded, more urgent than the previous one, and it only blew three times in a row.

The grenadiers standing in the front row threw the grenades with all their might.One shot is thrown, followed by lighting the fuse of the second shot.Almost instantly, there were constant explosions in front of the Song army, turning into a sea of ​​flames.

In the sea of ​​fire, almost no one in the Jin army was intact, and all of them were injured.Although many people's injuries were not serious, they were deeply heart-wrenching.

After walking dozens of steps through the sea of ​​fire, the Jin army suddenly discovered that the Song army in front had picked up swords and guns.
