Chapter 161 The Death of Song Yunshi

No matter how noisy the battlefield is, standing on the top of the fang mountain, only the mountain wind blows.

Today is a very rare cloudless good weather. Even if it is covered by smoke and dust, with their rich experience can also make judgments.

Of course, the real weapon is the telescope.

Standing on the top of the mountain at this moment is a big guy with a tripod and a total length of one meter. It is said that this is the treasure of Chu Yu, the second person in the Tiannan Chu family, and it can be seen dozens of miles away.

In order to house this baby, Yebushou even built a house for it on Fangya Mountain, with a stove in it, and only needed to feed it.

But this thing really lives up to its reputation. In this weather, most of the troops dispatched by the Song Dynasty Legion can be clearly seen.

"Records, the enemy's [-] heavy cavalry circled out from behind the Chinese army's camp and turned northward, intending to penetrate north of the Great Wall defense line. The target is likely to be our army's trebuchet convoy."

"Record, the enemy has about [-] heavy cavalry, and the detour area is very large. Obviously, they are afraid that our army scouts will find out, so please notify Lutou Mountain, and pay attention to the enemy's feigned soldiers and horses."

"Record, the enemy's middle army has not moved."

"Records, the enemy has about [-] light cavalry, and the enemy's heavy infantry is slowly cutting into the battlefield. The intention is unknown."

As one after another observation information was recorded, the semaphore soldiers on the side quickly translated it into semaphore, and ten miles away from the south side of Yanhui Mountain, in the second line of defense, on a high platform, there was also a telescope that was not closed at night. Looking at these semaphores, while reading and translating, there is also a semaphore soldier waving the semaphore to the south.

And on a high platform more than ten miles away to the south, there were also semaphore soldiers receiving the semaphore. In less than a minute, the movement of the Song Clan's main force came to Li Si's hands.

A few minutes later, the observation point on Lutou Mountain in the south also sent the movement of another Song Dynasty cavalry.

"Good guy, the head coach of the Song Clan is quite decisive."

"Now that the information is clear, what do you think?"

Li Si asked, it can't be all his dictatorship, the generals under him also have to be trained.

"Your Highness, our army can ignore the Southern Cavalry of the Song Clan, and only concentrate on destroying the main force of the Song Clan's cavalry detour to the north, because the general feels that the Song Clan's coach still ignores the mobility of our army's trebuchet convoy. and deterrence."

Dong Erdai spoke first, and the others nodded in approval.

They did not dare to ignore the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, so they paid special attention to the [-] heavy cavalry in the north of the enemy army.

"That's it!"

Following Li Si's order, the main forces slowly assembled northward, preparing for a head-to-head battle.

At the same time, on the middle battlefield, twenty Ye Bushou were guiding and dispatching the various trebuchet convoys.

This is not an easy job, and it requires a person who has a thorough understanding of the battlefield situation.

Except for Ye Fu, there is no one on Li Si's side, and no other arms are competent.

As for the [-] heavy infantry of the enemy army, they formed a tight shield formation comparable to that of the frontier army. They pushed the shield carts, which were more like tortoises than turtles. They moved very slowly. Just want to be able to contain the trebuchet convoy.

Even at this time, nearly four thousand trebuchet carts surrounded them.

"This is a general who is good at defense, and he is more proficient in shield formation than Dong Erdai."

Standing on the watchtower tens of meters high, Li Si was very emotional. Apart from slow movement, this kind of heavy infantry shield has almost no other shortcomings in the cold weapon era. Even if it is a level 6 heavy cavalry, rushing into it will kill you undoubtedly.

And their equipment is not inferior to Li Si's at all.

Fine steel tower shield, fine steel heavy armor, Mard, how rich the Song Clan is.

Fortunately, Li Si's tactics here are no longer simply fighting with cold weapons.

He has enough horse-drawn carts. The mobility, flexibility, and stability of the new carts are extremely high, and the vehicle-mounted trebuchet has also been improved. In addition to gunpowder shells, the weight of ordinary stone shells has also increased from ten catties To the weight of fifteen catties, this is a nightmare for heavy armor troops.

"emission!"

When the catapult convoys were in place one after another, they immediately launched their attacks without hesitation. This time, there was no need to aim too much. The area spread out by [-] heavy armored infantry was too large, and casual hits would hit them.

"emission!"

For a while, the stone bullets were like hail, and fell like rain. Even the shield car, although it could be blocked, would be crushed if there were too many stone bullets.

As for the tower shield made of fine steel, the stone bullets cannot penetrate it, but they can make a big hole. A huge number of stone bullets fall down, and the person holding the shield, no matter how powerful they are, cannot bear it.

There are more than 3000 stone bullets projected in one round, but there are no gunpowder shells, because in this case, the lethality of gunpowder shells is not as good as that of stone bullets.

This round, the enemy's heavy infantry regiment could still maintain the basic organizational system, but after a while, there was another round of stone bombs, and then another round, and then another round. The tower shield was smashed and distorted, and the soldiers underneath were so shocked that they vomited blood. Their fate was already doomed.

Rush, can't catch up.

Keep it, can't stand it.

This is to send death as a target.

For a moment, these soldiers of the Song Dynasty were so aggrieved that they wanted to explode. Before, they could obey the military orders and focus on defense, but now they are facing a round of rounds of round stone bombs. No one wants to die so aggrieved. After the round stone bullets fell, and even the stainless steel tower shield was completely deformed, some soldiers began to shout, throw away their shields, and rushed out with only weapons in their hands.

At this time, they still hope to catch up and kill them happily.

But at this time, more than 500 gunpowder shells fell, the sound was like thunder, and the earth trembled. A wave completely disrupted the formation of this army, and even tore off their psychological defense line. No one listened to it anymore. The military order, just rushed out in a swarm.

But after a few steps, another round of stone bullets fell, killing many people.

Immediately afterwards, the catapult convoy moved, half heading south and half heading north. They had already completed their mission. When they got out of the way, Li Xin's three thousand cavalrymen also cut in at the right time.

Because the enemy's army formation is completely in chaos, and the soldiers of the Song Clan are not stupid. They know that they are most likely to be attacked by stone bullets when they gather together, so the big guys disperse. Anyway, you can stay where you are, and have a look. Can you hit me.

But who would have thought that the catapult convoy retreated so simply, and Li Xin's cavalry corps cut in so timely, especially with 170 level 6 tiger and leopard cavalry rushing to the front, these scattered heavy infantry, It was almost like the weeds on the wasteland, which were harvested neatly as soon as the scythe fell down.

In a short while, the [-] elite heavy infantry completely collapsed, dying, surrendering, fleeing, then dying, then surrendering.

These three thousand cavalry are like a torrent, invincible.

But not all cavalry are torrents, and it takes time to become a torrent.

On Li Xin's side, anticipating the enemy's opportunity, he opened the full map in advance, and when the five thousand Qingqimen of the Song Clan were about to harvest a wave, they ran into their own defeated soldiers head-on...

Fortunately, the commander of the army reacted quickly, turned around immediately, and jumped out one step earlier, otherwise he would be pushed by the tiger and leopard cavalry.

At the same time, the north and south lines of the Great Wall were also breached by the Song Clan. A large number of soldiers dug frantically, dug open the city wall, and put heavy horses into the arena, but they didn't know that all the trajectories were accurately locked.

"Boom!"

The ground trembled, and there was a lot of movement from the 800 heavy cavalry, especially there were 6 level [-] heavy cavalry inside. With their sharpness, they were indeed terrifying in this flat terrain.

Only the [-] heavy cavalry entered the first line of defense, and were stopped by the army led by Dong Erdai, Sun Cheng, and Xu Chang. The first to bear the brunt were five hundred eight-ox crossbows.

Well, trebuchets can be loaded onto wagons, as can eight-ox crossbows.

The only difference is that the nature of the damage is different.

When the 300 heavy cavalry led by Song Yunshi decisively launched an attack and were about to enter a distance of [-] meters, Dong Erdai also issued an order to quickly lift the black cloth on the cart, so that the heavy cavalry on the opposite side could not react at all. Taiba Niu crossbow fired a salvo.

This kind of powerful eight-ox crossbow has a range of thousands of meters, and it can shoot through steel plates. The mere level 6 heavy cavalry is no exception.

In an instant, it was like a gust of wind blew up on the ground, and the [-] heavy cavalry was directly shrouded in blood mist, stumps, and many crossbow guns could even pierce through three or five rows in a row.

Poor Song Yunshi, the young master of the Song Clan, Song Emperor Song Wu's favorite son, and Li Cunsi's uncle, was unfortunately pierced through by a crossbow spear.

It was so miserable.

Fortunately, there are more than 500 level 6 heavy cavalry buried with them, so it is not lonely.

"The car array is coming forward!"

When the eight-ox crossbow was fired for one round, it was immediately pulled away by the carriage and replaced by a chariot formation specially used to fight against the cavalry. The horses pulling the cart had been untied and connected end to end, like a moving city wall.

However, the death of Song Yunshi did not weaken the impact of the 200 heavy cavalry, and even accelerated them. Only the remaining 6-odd level [-] heavy cavalry were still very terrifying. For heavy weapons like artillery, ordinary weapons don't care at all.

Even in the face of the car formation, he did not slow down at all, relying only on the fine steel spear in his hand, he rushed away from the car formation, and swung the big gun like a demon god descending into the world. In front of him, it was like a joke, broken in one battle.

Even if Dong Erdai yelled desperately, he couldn't stop the torrent. In less than a few minutes, his 200 legion was overwhelmed by more than 6 level 5 heavy cavalry and more level [-] heavy cavalry.

At the critical moment, another 6 crossbow spears fired in, setting off a bloodbath again, and successfully wiped out the remaining level [-] heavy cavalry.

At the same time, a car formation was formed again, which was able to stop the impact of the rest of the heavy cavalry.

But at this time, less than a hundred of Dong Erdai's [-] legions escaped alive, and the rest were all trampled and killed to death.
