Kingdom of Heaven and Han

With the sound of the horn, the war drums of the Jin Army sounded.Following the sound of drums, the Jin army pressed towards the Song army's position.

Not long after they advanced, they heard the sound of artillery fire from the Song Army.Along with the sound of cannons, dozens of iron bullets hit the Jin Army's formation.The Jin army was in a dense formation. How could they avoid the iron bullets?Immediately, more than a hundred golden soldiers were hit by iron bullets.

Seeing the fallen soldiers struggling and wailing, Gu Shen said: "Look at the range of the Song Army's artillery, which is basically five hundred steps away. At such a distance, there is nothing we can do. I have personally tried our own artillery. , can only hit more than 200 steps."

Wanyan suddenly said: "Our gunpowder is not as sophisticated as the Song army's, so we can't hit far. The generals on the front line have tried their best and failed to figure out the Song army's gunpowder formula. There is no way, we can only slow down. Slowly think of a solution."

Gushen nodded and said nothing.

When artillery was built for the generals, artillery technology was developing rapidly.The farther to the back, the smoother the barrel is made and the smaller the gap.Moreover, the gunpowder was replaced by granular gunpowder, which was even more powerful.

What the Jin Army is facing now is the updated artillery.The range is longer, the rate of fire is faster, and the power is greater.

With Wang Xiaolie pointing the way, the Song Army's artillery updated very quickly.With no one to guide them, the Jin army did not dare to make any changes after seizing the artillery, and the gap emerged.

For a full four hundred steps, it was almost suicidal for the infantry to advance in a hail of bullets.After walking these [-] steps, we have lost nearly [-]% of our troops.

Gu Shen shook his head repeatedly on the watchtower: "How can we fight this battle? By the time we reach the enemy's formation, we have already gone [-]%, and the general army has already dispersed!"

Several other generals also looked defeated.

Watching from below is completely different from watching from the watchtower.From the watchtower, everything is in full view.One soldier after another fell down, and the number of people in the attacking army became smaller and smaller. It almost happened in front of our eyes, which was extremely shocking to the soul.

Some people say that an ancient army may collapse if it loses [-]% of its strength, some say [-]%, and some even say half a percent.In fact, none of them are correct. It depends on the organizational ability of the army.In this era, the Jin army's organizational ability was strong, and they were severely punished when attacking, and the elite rarely collapsed.The Jin army's attacks often used elites wearing heavy armor and advanced regardless of casualties, often frightening the enemy to collapse.

It's just that Wang Xiaolie's army has been trained in the new army camp and has a strong psychology. Even if the enemy attacks, they will not be afraid even if they are all dead.

On the top of the watchtower, Gu Shen shook his head repeatedly.He knew in his heart that if he wanted to attack the military formation prepared by Wang Xiaolie, he could only use the elite.In order to increase the number, the troops who have been pulling together to make trouble these days can only cheer on the side.

Before a close encounter, you have to bear [-]% of the losses, which is not something that any army can bear.The most terrible thing is that the number of personnel lost is very even among the military formations, and it is impossible to use other armies to make up the number.As a result, the strength of the Jin Army was greatly reduced.

Sun Xiaoyi stared tightly, watching Jin Jun getting closer and closer.The rumbling sound of artillery behind him could no longer be heard, and he only had the Jin Army in his eyes.

I heard a sudden shout from beside me: "Light the fire!"

Sun Xiaoyi opened the match rope and blew on the fire. The fire immediately started.

After waiting for a moment, I heard: "Throw it!"

He took out a grenade, lit the fuse on the fire, and threw it at the Jin army with all his strength.With a muffled sound, the grenade exploded among the Jin army.Frankly speaking, most of the Jin army wore iron armor, and the lethality of grenades was not very great.But this thing is scary, and no matter how low its power is, it is still much stronger than an arrow.As the grenade exploded, the sound of crying father and mother came from the Jin Army formation.

The Ceres who looked up the stairs was startled.He said hurriedly: "What is that? It was thrown out by the Song Army, and black smoke came out. My soldiers were seriously injured!"

Wanyan Tuhesu was stunned for a while and said: "The last general has never fought against this Song army. I don't know what it is."

"Where is Wanyan Yuying? Where is he? This son's crime is unforgivable! I have been here for a few days, but I have never heard him mention that the Song Army had this thing! Our army was approaching the Song Army, and was suddenly blown away by this thing. How could we resist it? ?”

Gushen said, watching the Jin army in front being blown up by grenades and groping in the thick smoke.

Wang Xiaolie never thought of using hand grenades as a secret weapon. On the battlefield, they were all used openly.But for Gu Shen, when he was watching the battle in person today, the Song Army suddenly used it on the battlefield, which really shocked him.

Only a few dozen steps away, Sun Xiaoyi threw a few grenades and heard a whistle.Someone next to me shouted: "Gun!"

He hurriedly picked up the spear beside him and assumed a basic stance with the tip of the spear pointed upward, staring at the opposite side.

The Song Army's spear point pointed upward, stabbing the enemy's neck.Although the whole body is covered with armor, there is still a gap in the neck, which is one of the flaws.Although the spear can break armor, it should only be used when it is absolutely necessary.When attacking, the Song army's attack direction was all about the enemy's weaknesses.

Because it was his first time to participate in the war, the army arranged for someone to shout commands beside Sun Xiaoyi.In a skilled army, few people shout commands and rely on whistles to communicate.As long as people in the army hear the whistle, they will reflexively execute military orders.

Following the whistle, Sun Xiaoyi took a sudden step and stabbed the opposite Jin Bing in the throat.

The God of Rice was on top of the watchtower, his face as sinking as water.The result of the attack on the Song Army in front of him was far beyond his expectation.

In a real close encounter, it can be seen that the Song Army's combat effectiveness is not only not inferior to that of the Jin Army, but also firmly has the upper hand.In addition, the Jin army had to experience artillery bombardment and grenade bombardment, and could not advance even once on the battlefield.

After a while, Gu Shen sighed: "What's the point of this? If we continue to fight like this, we will only be able to use up all our troops! There is no need to fight anymore, just use your money to withdraw your troops."

It will not be so easy for the Jin army to retreat.The Song army attacked from behind and held tightly.No matter what method Jin Jun uses, he just can't get rid of it.

When Gu Shen saw it on the watchtower, he couldn't help but said angrily: "When have you ever seen this kind of fighting? You can't go back if you return it! Order the archers at the rear to prepare. When they get close, shoot arrows immediately! These Song people, I will Don’t believe they are not afraid of arrows!”

However, the maximum range of arrows is a hundred steps, but the Jin army had to retreat from more than 400 steps away.The three hundred steps in the middle are the distance between their life and death.In normal combat, once the military formation retreats, the archers at the rear can immediately provide cover.But it was different now. In the middle mile, bows and arrows could not protect them, so they could only be pursued by the Song army.

If it were an ordinary army, it would quickly collapse when being chased by the enemy.This Jin army was an elite one. Although it suffered heavy losses from the Song army's pursuit, the military formation was still barely able to maintain its position.

By the time they exited the artillery range of the Song Army, the Jin Army, which had 5000 men at the time of departure, had fewer than 2000 men.
