Fenghou

Chapter 127

Guo Anguo waved his saber and shouted sharply: "Kill!"

Three thousand spearmen rushed towards the Song army camp with spears in their hands. Guo Anguo found that the shields could not stop the Song army's strong crossbow, so he simply stopped using the sword shield army and directly used the spear army, sacrificing [-]% of them. The remaining [-]% can reach the camp gate.

Three thousand golden soldiers ran wildly from one mile away, and when they were [-] steps away from the camp, the bows and crossbows of the Song army fired, and two thousand people shot arrows from the barracks at the same time, and the crossbows flew away like locusts. Cross the sky and shoot at the rushing golden soldiers.

Xie Cong Jinbing was wearing leather armor and couldn't resist the penetrating power of the crossbow arrows. In the crowd, pieces of enemy troops fell to the ground with arrows, revealing gaps, but the gaps closed quickly. About a hundred steps.

The second round of crossbow arrows was fired from the camp again, densely filling the air, and fell on the soldiers like raindrops.

Two rounds of [-] crossbow bolts resulted in the reduction of more than [-] soldiers, but the [-] soldiers only accounted for [-]% of the attacking force, which was far from affecting the impact of the Jin soldiers.

At this time, the [-] god arm crossbow soldiers in front of the camp had been quietly replaced by [-] spear troops, and dozens of gunpowder men were hidden inside.

More than [-] soldiers gradually approached the Song Army's camp, and the covering arrows stopped shooting, and the crossbow arrows in the barracks also stopped, and there was a kind of extreme anxiety and depression in the air.

Guo Anguo held his breath and was so nervous that his heart jumped out. The soldiers were less than fifty steps away from the gate of the camp, but the Song army did not make any counterattacks. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Guo Anguo felt a kind of The tension before the storm.

Han Chang narrowed his eyes, but he was very excited in his heart. He was about to see Chen Qing's counterattack. This was also the goal he ordered Guo Anguo to attack. He didn't expect Guo Anguo to capture the Jiwangpo camp at all. , how could Chen Qing be so weak?
But he hoped to test Chen Qing's defense bottom line and see the real defense level of Chen Qing's army, so that he could learn experience when he formally attacked.

More than two thousand golden soldiers finally rushed to the front of the camp. What greeted them were hundreds of spears and a wall of mudbags as high as one foot. The spears on both sides faced each other, and the soldiers were very dense.

At this moment, dozens of gunpowder barrels were suddenly thrown from behind the mudbag wall, and the fuses ignited. These ultra-small powder barrels were about the same size as the milk powder cans of later generations. They contained three catties of gunpowder and mixed With a large number of poisoned iron nails,
The explosive power of this kind of gunpowder barrel is far from being comparable to the explosive packs of later generations. At best, it is similar to the power of a wooden handle grenade, but its lethality is not the explosive itself, but the half a catty of poisoned iron nails inside. A nailed shield and iron armor can resist, but leather armor and exposed face and neck cannot resist.

"Boom! Boom!"

The gunpowder barrels exploded one after another in the dense crowd, and several soldiers were blown up by the air waves, and there was a panic shouting everywhere, and the golden soldiers were in chaos, pushing and trampling each other, and the fallen golden soldiers wailed in despair in pain , The Jin soldiers were defeated like a mountain falling, scrambling to flee down the hillside, many soldiers fell down while running, and the toxins in their bodies broke out.

At this time, Song Jun fired arrows at the back, and the Jin soldiers who ran a little slower were all shot and killed by crossbow arrows.

This round of attack did not even meet the Song Army's Mao, so it ended in a disastrous defeat, with more than [-] casualties, and more than [-] people were trampled to death by their own people.

Guo Anguo was really frustrated, and stepped forward to plead guilty to Han Chang. Han Chang smiled and waved his hands, "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Don't blame yourself for this small defeat. I saw a lot of things in this attack, but it was not enough. Please Guo Anguo The general continues to organize the attack, you can bring some more long planks and put them directly on the sand wall, so that the soldiers will not rush to the sand wall and have nothing to do, General Guo can give it a try."

Guo Anguo felt sorry for his own army. From last night until now, they have lost more than [-] casualties without a single contact. Isn't this just using the lives of soldiers to pave the way?
Guo Anguo also knew that Han Chang had this idea. He didn't care about the casualties of his own army at all, and clearly only wanted to know the defense situation of the Song army through the casualties of his soldiers.

Guo Anguo felt resentment in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he clasped his fists together and said, "I obey my orders!"

In the barracks, Chen Qing witnessed more than [-] soldiers turned out and killed all the poisoned and injured enemy soldiers, leaving no one alive.

Zheng Ping next to him asked a little puzzled: "Commander, I am a little confused. We fought so fiercely at Jiandao Pass that almost all soldiers were exhausted, but here we fought like a game, killing more than [-] enemies." , we didn't hurt a single soldier, what's the reason for this?"

Chen Qing said indifferently: "Up to now, the enemy army is only a tentative attack, trying to figure out our details, not a real attack. Have you seen it? The attack is all the Han army, with poor equipment and low morale. Retreating downward, the Jurchens did not drive them away with knives and axes, these soldiers are just snacks before our meal, and the real feast has not yet begun."

"Then did we make a mistake in using kerosene and gunpowder to deal with the enemy?"

"Of course not, we also need to test the combat effects of kerosene and gunpowder?"

Yang Yuanqing said worriedly: "The humble officer is most worried about the Jin soldiers attacking from the east and west sides. Once they use heavy trebuchets to destroy the board wall, the enemy army will attack in an all-round way, and our disadvantage of insufficient troops will be fully exposed."

Chen Qing looked into the distance solemnly, and said slowly: "If we really reach that step, it will be the real test for us."

Chen Qing turned his head and said to Zhou Kuan and Zhang Miao, the two civil servants, "I would like to ask you two to work hard! Write the last letter home for the soldiers."

At this moment, the sound of war drums in the distance sounded again, and the [-] Congregation troops assembled again, preparing for the second attack. This time they prepared more than a hundred long and wide wooden planks, and prepared to rely on them to rush through the Song Dynasty. Army mudbag wall.

This way of thinking is correct. They didn't think carefully before, so that they rushed under the mudbag wall and had nothing to do. Now they finally have a countermeasure.

"Attack!"

Guo Anguo gave an order, and the five thousand Xie Cong Jin soldiers waved their spears and battle flags, holding crossbow arrows, and rushed towards the Song Army camp again like a tide in Qiantang.

This time Guo Anguo learned his lesson and directly mixed two thousand crossbowmen into the attacking team. The crossbow arrows can be shot farther. Their shooting target is no longer the Song army on the sandbag wall, but the soldiers in the camp. Song army soldiers.

Chen Qing's eyes became serious, and he shouted: "The shooting crossbow soldiers use their large shields, the trebuchets are ready to throw powder kegs, and the bed crossbows are ready!"

He also changed his strategy. He no longer waited for the enemy to congest to the door before throwing powder kegs, but started throwing powder kegs a hundred steps away from the enemy, using poisoned iron nails to kill and injure enemy soldiers. "

Poison-hardened iron nails generally do not cause immediate poisoning and death, but its toxicity will quickly paralyze the hands and feet of the enemy, causing them to lose combat effectiveness and blind their eyes for a long time. Life is in danger.

This kind of weapon is indeed vicious and unrighteous, but at the moment of life and death, on the battlefield where you die or I live, all benevolence and morality are all farts, and killing the enemy by any means is the kingly way.

Chen Qing also reduced half of the crossbowmen at the same time, and the other half used large shields to cover. This is because he found that the enemy's crossbowmen were also following the attacking team, and their target was obviously the Song army in the camp. up.

The five thousand associations rushed to the hundred-pace line from the military newspaper, and suddenly five hundred cavalrymen rushed out from among them. They rushed up the hillside with shields and spears in hand.

This was Guo Anguo's hidden weapon. Five hundred cavalrymen hid behind, covered by the banner, and suddenly exerted force at a hundred paces.

The long-distance space war between the two sides broke out at the same time. The arrows were like two dark clouds. They met and intertwined in the air, and fell into each other's ranks. The arrow was shot, and he fell to the ground screaming.

'Boom!Bang!Bang! '

When the Jinren cavalry reached the fifty pace line, fifty small trebuchets of the Song army were launched. A ten-jin kerosene barrel can only be cast to about fifty paces.

Dozens of flaming gunpowder barrels rolled in the air, and almost all of them exploded before landing. The matchlocks left by the Song army were very short, and almost all of them exploded above the enemy's heads.

"Boom! Boom!"

There was an explosion, and dozens of barrels of gunpowder exploded on top of the five hundred cavalry first.

In an instant, five hundred cavalrymen turned their backs on their backs, blood and flesh flew all over the place, and their horses were frightened, screaming loudly. Although the cavalrymen were wearing bright armor that protected their chests and backs, their thighs, faces and necks were exposed, not to mention the target For larger warhorses, once the warhorse is hit by dense poison-hardened iron nails, the poisonous onset will be faster.

At thirty paces, only half of the five hundred cavalry remained.

In the second round, fifty gunpowder barrels were thrown out again. This time, their targets were the thousands of infantry who came from behind.
