Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 490 is coming to an end
Compared with places such as Kaifeng City, Yanshan in the North, and Xiangzhou; under the current situation, there are various calculations and conspiracies other than swords and swords.

The battles on the main battlefield of Zhuxian Town are always the same.

The main theme of the day is always only the Jinbing army taking turns to attack, attack, and attack again. No matter how heavy the casualties are, new troops will soon enter the battle.

Using such a method, the manpower and equipment of both sides are constantly being consumed.

Human life has become so cheap at this moment.

And under the power of knives, arrows, muskets and shells, everything is so fair.

Regardless of the status of the personnel, whether it is the military leaders and powerful men of the Jin Kingdom, or the princes of the Song Dynasty; just a sharp arrow or a bullet can cost them their lives.

In each day, the combined casualties of both sides are at least 2 people...

"Damn it! Why isn't it getting dark~"

Looking up at the sunset in the sky, it was at least half an hour before the mountain completely set and the sky darkened.

Immediately, in Lao Tie's mouth, he cursed a little angrily.

All because of today's time, which is already the first year of Maode, the ninth day of October, around six o'clock in the afternoon.

If calculated carefully, the attack that just started in the afterglow of the setting sun is already the seventh attack launched by the Jinren side.

In the previous six attacks, he was in the right wing position.

The soldiers of the [-]st Independent Artillery Brigade and the [-]rd Infantry Division were almost exhausted.

And if you follow the routine of the Jin people in recent days, at night, because the Han people under their command have a lot of night blindness, they will not attack.

So if the time is postponed for half an hour, wouldn't the attack in front of them just not happen, so that they can relax somewhat?
It's just that there is everything in this world, but there is no such thing as what if.

Faced with today's theoretically, it should be the last battle. The soldiers of the new army in the Song Dynasty were kicked and beaten by the officers.

Regardless of the day's high-intensity battle, their bodies, which were already extremely exhausted, began to line up one after another.

The attack launched by the Jinren this time, like every previous opening, is still dominated by a large number of poorly made shield vehicles.

Good guy!With so many hundreds of thousands of golden soldiers gathered together, they needed to burn fires for cooking, heating, and a large number of shield vehicles that were consumed in daily battles.

Perhaps Zhuxian Town and the forests in Kaifeng City with a radius of hundreds of miles were all chopped down by these Jin people.

In the position behind the shield car, there are a large number of archers and crossbowmen, these long-range arms, and the melee arms such as axemen and spearmen.

Of course, the last position is also indispensable, a cavalry unit ready to charge at any time.

In the process of Jinren's continuous advancement, when the shield car entered the range of two miles.

In terms of range, the two types of Napoleon field guns, the 12-pound and the 6-pound, were the first to fire; it immediately showed the power of the "God of War" artillery.

Whether it is a 12-pound shell or a 6-pound shell.

Every time, as long as it doesn't hit empty, those shield cars that look quite solid can be beaten to pieces very easily, like paper shells pasted together.

Then, the cannonballs, still with wild force, continued to move forward, hitting and exploding the bodies and limbs of many unlucky ones, and they stopped after they made a bloody alley in the queue of the golden men.

At such a time, the whole shell became bloody.

It's just that under the suppression of the basic officers of the Jinbing, some of the general's personal soldiers, and the supervisory team behind him, the infantry troops attacked by a group of Jinmen still maintain a staggering desire to fight.

Still maintaining a relatively complete formation, they advanced towards the position at a steady pace.

In such a situation where they could only be beaten but could not fight back, after the leading shield car slowly advanced all the way to a position within a hundred paces, some changes took place.

Those were the archers and crossbowmen of the Jinren, and they finally began to rain arrows on the new army's position.

Especially those artillery that have been adjusted and are now directly deployed on the right-wing position, the location of which is the focus of attention.

Even if Lao Tie had arranged a lot of swords and shields to guard in front of the gun positions with shields in the past, there were still unlucky gunners from time to time, who still kept screaming and then fell down.

Under the cover of the arrow rain, a large number of golden soldiers also began to charge.

Faced with such a situation, the sound of 'fire~' continued to sound on the ground, and at the same time bursts of gunfire also rang out.

It's just that compared to the previous few days, the sound of such platoons of gunfire is already a bit messy.

no way!As a large number of veterans suffered casualties, even if some trained civilians were added to the right-wing position, the total strength is now only more than 6000.

A large number of officers are squad leaders promoted by the front line, and even ordinary soldiers.

Among the troops under their command, even [-]% of the veterans are enough.

In this way, even if the original three-stage attack was replaced by a four-stage attack; the firepower of the muskets on the battlefield still dropped drastically.

why?Every time the fire was fired, many civilians directly punched out the cleaning rods because of nervousness.

These muskets were considered temporarily scrapped until the battle was over and the stab sticks were retrieved.

Fortunately, after the continuous bombardment of a large number of artillery, especially after the artillery replaced with shotguns fired, the degree and density of the gold soldiers rushing up was greatly reduced.

Amidst the messy sound of gunfire, the remaining golden infantrymen who charged up were knocked to the ground one after another on the spot.

Even if these golden men were not killed, they still let out extremely shrill screams after they fell to the ground.

Not only the wounds after their slander, produced a severe pain that was stronger than that of knives and arrows.

More importantly, the wounded battalion has too many examples to let them know that although such a lead bullet is not big, the lead poison in it is more powerful than the arrowhead they soaked in horse manure.

If you are shot in the chest and abdomen, you will basically lie down for a few days and die from the wound rot.

If the hands and feet were shot, they might still survive if they were cut off in time; it's just that they were cut off their hands and feet these days, and it would be better to die.

As long as they were shot, these golden men were filled with fear.

At the same time, the new troops on the ground kept falling to the ground after being hit by arrows.

In short, in the entire battle process above, there is nothing new compared to the previous battles; but for the commanders of the Jinren side, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan and others, what new ideas do they need?
They only need to rely on such a method to consume the Song people to a weak enough level, so that they can finally win the final victory after dispatching the heavy cavalry charge...

******
After the battle lasted for more than ten minutes, Dang saw in the lens of the telescope that he was three miles away.

A cavalry team of [-] men of the Jin people, of which there are probably three teams of [-] cavalry, that is, the strength of [-] cavalry is waving under the banner of the central army.

Suddenly, he drew his war horse, pulled out a fairly wide line of battle, and rushed towards the back of the scene.

At that time, under the helmet worn on the head, a large gauze Baron was exposed. He didn't know why?But I always feel that there is something wrong on the battlefield, something is very wrong.

After about three to five seconds, this guy finally realized that something important was missing.

It seems that I have already had half a minute, and I haven't heard the sound of the cannon.

Therefore, the acting deputy commander of the third infantry division, who put his command position directly on the front line, immediately became angry.

That's right, Ba Long is now the acting division commander of the third division.

As for his former war dog, that buddy died after two days on the battlefield.

To be more accurate, it was when the Golden Cavalry was about to break through the position, and the four guards beside the leader rushed up with their explosive packs in their arms.

In the violent explosion, the cavalry troops of the Jinren had to retreat.

Then, when the poor war dog couldn't find even a slightly larger piece of meat, Baron took over as the acting deputy commander of the third infantry division, such a position with an astonishing casualty rate.

And on the first day of taking office in a hurry, in the first battle, the golden man opened a dipper in the head.

After realizing that the artillery hadn't fired for a long time on the battlefield.

After turning his head, Baron turned to Lao Tie, the deputy brigade commander of the [-]st Independent Artillery Brigade, at a distance of about ten meters to the left, and cursed at the top of his voice:

"Old man! What the hell are you fishing for?
Instead, let your Napoleon guns fire quickly; I didn’t see the cavalry on the other side had already rushed up. If there was no artillery fire to suppress them, you asked me to use my life to withstand them? "

Unexpectedly, after hearing the words, Lao Tie, with great grievances, turned around and cursed:
"I will give you a hammer, do you want it? You forgot that in the previous time, you have been yelling, old iron, destroy that shield car for me.

Old Tie, beat that commander to death for me.

Old iron, change the shotgun for Lao Tzu, and kill that group of soldiers.

What the hell!Don't you know that the barrel of a cannon needs heat dissipation after firing for a long time?And the faster the firing frequency, the faster the gun barrel will heat up.

Now that the barrel of the cannon can light a cigarette, tell me how to fire it, and who will be responsible if it blows up? "

After hearing such a sentence, the originally huge anger in Baron's heart turned into a mouthful of saliva, which he spat out heavily.

As a person who claims to 'know a little bit about everything', he is similar to a panacea.

The old iron yelled the truth of 'the gun needs to be cooled', of course Baron knew it very well.

The key issue is that the golden commanders on the opposite side are too grandchildren.

Since I saw that the right wing where the third division of their infantry division is located, because of the large number of casualties of recruits, they can only add some small numbers of civilians, so the reason is slightly weaker in strength.

In the recent battle, they were completely pinched as soft persimmons.

The key area of ​​each attack is their right wing; they completely regard their place as the breakthrough point of the entire battlefield.

This is also the biggest reason why Hu Biao is willing to deploy the entire First Brigade of Independent Artillery.

Especially now, after the soldiers under his command fought for a day, the number of casualties was astonishing, not to mention the rest of them were exhausted.

Now the golden man has made it clear that today's final battle is going to be a tough one.

So much so that he didn't know why, but his heart panicked...

After hearing the roar of 'barrel overheating' from Lao Tie's mouth, Barong, a rookie deputy commander, originally wanted to say something.

For example, for the sake of the party and the country, we must give our brothers a hand.

But after opening his mouth, he finally suppressed all the words, spit out a mouthful of saliva, and cursed:
"Death Squad, follow me~"

After finishing speaking, he rushed towards an earthen wall with a short gun in one hand and a standard five-kilogram explosive package in the other.

It is completely a critical moment, the soldier who takes the lead and leads the soldiers under his command.

After all, these people still can't let their subordinates put their arms around the dynamite bag, while they themselves watch such a thing from afar.

After seeing such a scene, Lao Tie also had a headache.

Although the Napoleon cannon they cast is made of bronze, the ductility of the material is indeed much better than that of pure iron barrels.

But after being heated by continuous fire, it doesn't mean that it can be poured down with a bucket of cold water, so savagely forced to cool down.

Such a rough approach will only cause many hidden wounds that cannot be seen clearly by the naked eye under the effect of short-term thermal expansion and contraction of the gun body.

Seriously shortened, not to mention the service life of these artillery.

Maybe at some point, these hidden injuries will cause the tragedy of bombing.

As the deputy brigade commander of the [-]st Brigade of the Independent Artillery, adopting such an operation of forced cooling and firing is the biggest irresponsibility of the opponent's gunners.

Murder, even to put it mildly.

The problem is that if they don't fire, the more and more sparse volley firepower on the position; under the frantic charge of those golden cavalry, they see that they will rush into the position in only one minute at most.

At that time, I'm afraid it's time for a rookie like Ba Long to die.

It doesn't work to fire, and it doesn't seem to work if you don't fire. For a while, Lao Tie fell into a huge entanglement.

In the end, seeing those golden cavalrymen who were getting closer, Lao Tie seemed to be going all out, and yelled loudly in his mouth:

"I can't control that much, pour cold water and forcibly cool the barrel.

Then I loaded Lao Tzu with shotgun and fired hard at his mother; I will bear the penalty for violating the regulations by myself~"

Under such an order, buckets of cold water poured down on the red gun barrel just like that, and at the same time as "呲啦~", a huge white smoke rose up.

After pouring several buckets of water in a row, the gun barrel was still a little hot, regardless of the temperature.

A group of gunners took brushes made of pig bristles, dipped them in water and poked them into the barrel to clean them back and forth a few times. When they were pulled out, the brushes were still emitting white smoke.

After that, the silk-wrapped fixed-size propellant pouches and shotgun shells were put in and pounded tightly.

Then, something went wrong.

Because of some production efficiency considerations, the current Napoleon field guns of the new army are still the old-fashioned ones that need to be ignited with a torch.

Instead of holding the rope, you can fire after pulling hard.

So with one stab, the silk bag wrapped in the propellant was punctured, and a fuse was stuffed in, which was tantamount to making all preparations for launching.

A group of gunners holding torches all turned to the Napoleon cannon in front of them, a little afraid to start firing.

There is no way!Whoever called one of the above operations belongs to the "Song Artillery Manual", which is strictly prohibited and must be dealt with seriously afterwards.

Under such a situation, Lao Tie rushed forward.

After rushing to the position of the nearest 12-pound Napoleon gun, he snatched the torch from a gunner's hand, gritted his teeth, and stretched it towards the fuse.

Thank goodness the barrel didn't explode.

At most two seconds later, with a loud sound, a large number of shotguns greeted the cavalry who had already charged a distance of one hundred and twenty or thirty steps.

At least fifteen or six riders were thrown to the ground on the spot.

The cavalry above died on the spot, and the more vigorous horses were also twitching violently. The effect was surprisingly good.

And Lao Tie's approach also boosted the confidence of the other gunners, almost at the moment when the gunfire sounded.

They all lit the torches in their hands towards the fuse.

This also means that almost three or four seconds later, a total of more than thirty 12-pounder and 6-pounder guns were fired at the same time.

The huge barrage they formed knocked down almost all the golden men in front of the formation, no matter if they were infantry or cavalry, they fell to the ground one after another.

With a huge excitement, Lao Tie yelled in his mouth: "Keep filling, fast, fast, fast~"

One shot, two shots, three shots, after firing five shots in a row, when the old iron lit the fuse again, a huge wave rose in front of him.

It was the gun barrel that had been tossed out of the dark wound before, and finally couldn't hold it anymore.

Under the power of the explosion, he was thrown far away on the spot, and he died before landing; he didn't even have time to leave a last word.

However, it was thousands of miles away, holding a war elephant that was chewing on its elbow.

All of a sudden, he let go of the elbow in his hand, feeling as if he had lost something important.

If she had to describe her weird mood at that time, it would be a certain shit-shoveling officer who found that her husky was lost, which was quite miraculous.

Almost at the same time, Barong stood up and threw out the explosive bag in his hand.

Before he retreated back to the earthen wall, a golden man's war horse also jumped over his head, and a mace hit his sky cap.

Somewhat ironically, at this moment, Jin's side is in the position of the Chinese army camp.

Wanyan Zongwang saw that the central army of the Song Dynasty was moving to the right, and a support army that came to support them was about to push into place, so he had someone blow the horn that represented the withdrawal of the troops and the end of today's battle.

The golden cavalry, who were greatly relieved, turned their horses and began to retreat.

The last ray of the setting sun fell on the bodies of Ba Long and Lao Tie, and it was covered with a layer of beautiful gold.

Limping corn, came over and sighed silently after seeing such a scene.

The main reason is that he doesn't know that after adding some civilian husbands, cannons, and a new netizen tonight, he still needs to be nailed here tomorrow.

Persist until the beginning of the final decisive battle.

And the final decisive battle should be coming soon; so this ghostly day is coming to an end...

　I feel that everyone is a little tired of watching wars, I will speed up the progress later
