The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 244 The Battle of Wutong Ridge ([-])
Kong Yuan was worried.

Originally, he believed that the Song army would not be able to take down his camp even if they came out in full force.But now, this idea began to waver.

Under the cover of rounds of artillery fire, in just a short period of time, his soldiers have suffered heavy losses.

Seeing those soldiers running around like headless chickens, Kong Yuan's heart dripped with blood, and he felt great hatred.

I think he used to defeat the Song army like a bag, but in the past two years, he was defeated under the city of Wuzhou, and now he was beaten by the Song army again here.

What he didn't know was that it wasn't just the Yuan army on the hillside that was dumbfounded, but most of the soldiers led by Su Quandang at the foot of the mountain were also dumbfounded.

The same is true for the soldiers of the Song Army who ambushed in Xichu Mountain and Fenghou Mountain.

When the cannon rang, they could only see smoke billowing on Wutong Ridge, bursts of loud noises, and rocks collapsing, but they couldn't figure out what happened on the top of the mountain.

How could those little black things make Wutong Ridge shake?
The vast majority of soldiers of the Song Army have never seen the power of grenades.

Only Su Quandang, Zhao Da and others smiled.

They know how uncomfortable it must be for the Yuan army on Wutong Ridge now, what it feels like to be bombarded, hehe, it is absolutely uncomfortable.

Su Quandang put the binoculars in front of his eyes, and saw clouds of smoke rising from the south slope of Wutong Ridge, he felt even more confident about this battle.

Not long after that, he saw the Yuan army in the south rushing down the mountain.

Finally can't bear to attack the mountain behind the peak yet?
Liu Zaiyuan next to him also saw this scene and asked, "Commander, shall we also start attacking?"

At this time, the flying dragon soldiers had already set up the grenades.

Without hesitation, Su Quandang immediately ordered Zhao Da: "General Zhao, order to fire!"

Zhao Da led the order and ran back to the dragon soldiers, raised his hands high, "Ready to fire!"

Many shield soldiers stepped aside, revealing the flying dragon soldiers squatting on the ground behind them, as well as the barrels of grenade launchers.

Under the sunlight, the dark grenadier reflected a faint luster.

"put!"

Under Zhao Da's order, a hundred shells blasted out of their chambers and fell towards the Xiying army of the Yuan army that was confronting Su Quandang's army on the hillside.

The general of the Yuan army looked up dumbfounded at the dark shells falling towards the army. He was shocked and wanted to give an order, but he didn't know how to give the order.

run?
The formation of the army has been formed, and there are tents beside it. Where are they going?

But at this time, Kong Yuan on the top of the mountain suddenly remembered the Song army who had already set up a battle to the west.

His face immediately changed drastically, and he lost all color, and immediately shouted: "Let the army of the Western Camp attack Song Dynasty!"

But before he finished speaking, countless smoke and dust were already blowing up on the west hillside.

Dust blocked Kong Yuan's sight, but he still seemed to be able to see his soldiers being blown to pieces.

The camp of the Yuan army was covered by artillery fire on three sides, and it was a mess.

Shells exploded on the hillside, and deep potholes appeared everywhere on Wutong Ridge.

The Yuan army suffered countless casualties, and the formation suddenly became disorganized.

However, the artillery shells of the Song Army showed no tendency to stop at all. In a short period of time, hundreds of shells had been poured onto Wutong Ridge.

Although these shells could not reach the camp of the Yuan army's central army on the slope, they covered the lower half of the camp on the west, south, and east sides.

Countless white tents of the Yuan army were blown away.

The flames burn.

Smoke billows.

Are there any soldiers of the Yuan army who were killed by the bombing?

And after the shells hit the ground and exploded, occasionally there would be a rumbling sound.

In the Yuan army, there were soldiers pushing porcelain jars.

After those porcelain pots were affected by the bomb, they also exploded with a bang.Many Yuan soldiers were killed by these porcelain jars from their own side.

Although Ali Haiya died, the landmine he sent to Dadu finally allowed the Yuan Dynasty to research this low-tech thermal weapon.

However, the ratio of land mines and gunpowder of the Yuan army still seems to be wrong. Although the power is not small, it is still somewhat inferior to the land mines of the Song army.

Kong Yuan gritted his gums until his gums were about to bleed, and his voice was full of murderous intent, "Send the order to let the army from the northern battalion go around behind the Song army, and the army from the western battalion will charge."

The orderly waiting beside him hastily ran to a higher place.

Then, the soldiers of the Yuan Army Commander's Banner standing at the highest point of the Chinese Army's camp were trembling while waving their Commander's Flag.

He is afraid!

From his angle, he could clearly see what kind of bird the three-faced Yuan army was blown up to. The power of the grenadier really frightened him.

He was really worried that some shells would fall on him, and then there would be no ashes left.

The generals of the Yuan army on the western hillside were already overwhelmed by the bombing. Now that they finally saw the command flag moving, they didn't dare to delay any longer, and they didn't care to gather the fleeing soldiers. They all shouted: "Go! Go!"

The Yuan army, which was blown like a quail, was finally no longer at a loss, and rushed down the mountain behind the military flag.

"Thunderbolt!"

Su Quandang was laughing at first, but he couldn't laugh anymore when he noticed that there were successive explosions on the hillside.

He knew that the Yuan army had mastered the craft of Hong Tianlei after all.

Seeing the Yuan army swooping down, he raised his gun and shouted.The Yuan army was thundering, and he didn't dare to let the Yuan army get too close.

The command flag soldiers on the female wall at the back received the order, waved the red command flag in their hands, and made a sign of the cross on their chests.

Four hundred Thunderbolt chariots were immediately pushed from the army to the front army.

In fact, thunderbolt chariots are ballistas, but at this time, the bolts of these ballistas are all tied with red thunderbolt cannons that look like firecrackers.

The Thunderbolt can be said to be a combination of a ballista and a shell.

These thunderbolt chariots arrived in front of the army, with an elevation angle of about [-] degrees. Under the command of the general, they all launched towards the front.

There was a sound of bowstring cracking.

After the red shell was ignited, it exploded as the arrow fell into the Yuan army group.

There was another loud bang.

The power of these red shells is naturally far from that of grenadier shells, but they are not much worse than land mines.

The western army of the Yuan army originally had only 4000 people, and it was covered by a wave of grenadiers, and now it was shot into the army by densely packed [-] thunderbolt bullets.The land mines carried by their army were also affected and exploded one after another. This was originally regarded as a secret weapon by them, and they were going to give the Song army a head-on blow. In the end, they completely bombed their own soldiers.

When they finally approached the Song army, they were shocked to find that there were only thousands of people left on their side.

Looking back at the hillside, there are countless corpses on it.

The surviving generals were immediately scratched in their hearts. Did they continue to charge upwards?Or back off?

In fact, some soldiers of the Yuan army have already started to retreat.

No matter how brave the Yuan army was, some of them were afraid of death.

The firepower of the Song army was too fierce. Who wouldn't be afraid that this wave of thunderbolt bullets just now took the lives of thousands of Yuan soldiers?
And at this time, on the top of Wutong Ridge, there was finally the sound of drums.

Many Yuan soldiers in the Chinese army camp rushed out of the camp and swooped down the slope.

This finally gave the generals of the west army some courage. After beheading a few retreating soldiers, they raised their weapons and shouted: "Continue to charge!"

However, Song Jun was already roaring towards them with another wave of thunderbolt bullets.

At the same time, behind the shield soldiers in the front row, many soldiers suddenly rushed up, squatting on the ground, and aimed their Shenlong guns at the charging Yuan army.

Yuan Jun was dumbfounded again.

Firearms?

They don't know what the hell Song Jun is doing.

In this era, it is not that no army has brought firecrackers to the battlefield, but the power of firecrackers is really not very good, and they can't even pierce armor.

There was a faint feeling in Yuan Jun's heart after he had recovered.

After experiencing the repeated bombings just now, they felt that the Song Army's firecrackers might not be that simple.

Damn, wouldn't these firecrackers also be able to shoot explosives?
There were even soldiers of the Yuan Army who couldn't stand the excitement in such a bloody scene and went crazy.

When the Yuan army was about 350 meters away from the army formation, Su Quandang gave another order, "Fire blunderbuss, let go!"

There were muffled gunshots.

The cavalry of the Yuan army who rushed to the forefront fell off their horses one after another.

The improved Shenlong gun has a range of about 370 meters. The bullets are pointed and gunpowder is used as the launcher. The power is far from that of the previous fire gun. It is almost fatal to hit the head, and it can penetrate armor. Inevitably seriously injured.

The power of the Shenlong gun has been tested by all the armies of the Song Army.

As a result, the western army of the Yuan army was beaten to pieces before it rushed to the front of the Song army.

After experiencing the bombing of more than 200 grenadier shells, more than 800 thunderbolt cannons, and the bombing of the land mines they carried, their four thousand soldiers were not much left.Now facing thousands of gunfire soldiers, everyone is frightened and frightened, and they don't have the courage to charge forward at all.Even the generals in the army pulled their horses and thought about running up the hillside.

At this time, the Yuan army's central army was still swooping down.
