Chapter 587: A human wall in front of the city wall

"These losers, stop them quickly!"

When he saw that everyone started to retreat again, Wanyan Zongbi was so angry from behind that he yelled and ordered his Jurchen soldiers to rush up and stop them.

Groups of Jurchen cavalry, riding horses and carrying swords, rushed forward to kill the Khitan and Han people who retreated and fled, but even so, they could no longer stop the retreat.

Groups of Khitan soldiers and Han troops fled in panic, and even organized themselves to use weapons to resist the Jurchens. From time to time, lone Jurchen knights were killed.

More and more Jurchens drove the fleeing people back in batches, but no one paid attention, and everyone dropped their weapons and started to flee back.

Such a panic scene seemed to Wanyan Zongbi and others to be a sign that the situation could no longer be sustained, and Wanyan Zongbi was furious.

He never imagined that the other party just used something that could hit iron balls and dispersed the soldiers they defeated.

"If we are given the opportunity to engage him, can these cowardly Han Chinese really fight against our army?"

While Wanyan Zongbi was complaining like this, he saw the gates of Wanping County, where enemy soldiers began to retreat in the distance, suddenly opened wide.

Groups of cavalry guards and infantrymen ran out of the city in goose-step. Among the infantry, the guards in neat khaki clothes were in front, followed by the maternity care team with red belts on their hands. .

As soon as they left the city, they began to divide their forces and began to pursue the fleeing soldiers in various postures.

Wanyan Zongbi was stunned. These Han people from the Supervisory Committee actually went out of the city to fight with them?

Then he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. He thought that these Han people would rely on cannons to hold on in the city until the end of time. Then he really gave Wanping County a huge headache.

But now that the opponent has left the city to fight, isn't it just a good piece of fat being put in his mouth?

"Return to the army, return to the army, attack!"

In fact, Yan Zongbi didn't even need to speak. A group of Jurchens under Wanyan Zongbi were all experienced warriors. When they saw the enemy's city gate open, they had already begun to charge the soldiers leaving the city.

Even the Khitan and Han surrender troops on the battlefield were stunned at first when they saw the enemy leaving the city, and then they all showed happy expressions.

Everyone felt that when the situation of the Wanping County defenders was in good condition, they actually went out of the city to fight in the field. It was simply that the opponent's general was confused. Who in the whole north didn't know what the combat effectiveness of this group of Han people was in the field?
A Khitan nobleman who was preventing the soldiers from retreating was suddenly filled with courage. He turned around and drew out his sword and pointed forward. The Khitan soldiers under him also attacked like wolves and tigers.

The commander of the protection regiment, who was commanding on the spot, had a contemptuous smile on his face when he saw the enemies approaching in dense formation.

He gave the order: "Two columns, spread out horizontally!"

When these Khitan and Han surrender troops charged at Wanping County, they also maintained a high level of tactics. They always formed a loose formation, with motor vehicles at the front, guarded by cavalry on the left and right flanks, and behind them were soldiers holding weapons. Soldiers with bows and arrows press the formation.

Such a formation would be very offensive if it were not for the attacks from the cannons on the city wall. It was much smarter than the loose battle formations popular among the Song Army at this time.

At this time, because everyone was fleeing, the team dispersed, and the soldiers no longer gathered together. The cannons on the city wall could no longer easily use their shells to penetrate the dense formation and cause damage.

The number of casualties on the Jin army's side was plummeting, and at this time, the protective troops and birth care teams that were chasing out of the city gave the Jurchens the opportunity to face the enemy head-on.

Wanyan Zongbi, who was far away, saw this perfect opportunity on the battlefield at a glance. He knew that as long as his team and the enemy were intertwined and fighting, the cannons on the city would have to think about killing the soldiers below. Somewhat. "Don't wait to release arrows, hurry up and engage the enemy!" He quickly gave the order.

At this time, the Han and other soldiers had turned back and rushed towards Wanping County. In a blink of an eye, they were less than a hundred steps away from the human wall formed by the protection army and the birth protection team.

Scattered arrows were shot out, but they did not cause much damage to the protective army in front of them. At this time, more Khitan and Han soldiers stopped shooting arrows after hearing the order from Wanyan Zongbi's rear and rushed straight up. .

Wanyan Zongbi watched with eager eyes as his soldiers rushed towards the first layer of human wall of the protection army with howls.

The protective troops on the opposite side spread out into a thin formation of two deep rows.

"What is the use of this formation?" Wanyan Zongbi couldn't help laughing when he saw the thin formation.

In his opinion, the protective army on the opposite side did not wear armor or spears, and this thin formation would break up as soon as they charged.

Even if the muskets they hold are precious firearms, they can only show the enemy's wealth.

The more wealthy he is, the more he can arouse Wanyan Zongbi's greed.

Under Wanyan Zongbi's eager gaze, the first batch of Khitan and Han troops charging upwards had arrived fifty steps away from the protecting army.

Wanyan Zongbi saw that every 30 people in the protective army opposite there was an officer holding a long sword in his hand. When everyone stepped within fifty steps, he saw that the officers seemed to be machines and well-trained. He pointed his general sword forward, and then made a slashing motion downward.

Then he saw the Khitan and Han soldiers who had rushed in front of the protection army, as if they had hit a wall and suddenly fell in large pieces.

Wanyan Zongbi stared at this scene dumbfounded. A few seconds later, when he heard the sound of a series of musket firings reaching his ears, he felt his body numb.

"Crack, crackle, crackle..."

The sound of muskets coming from the distance was very faint, but it could still be heard clearly. It sounded like a small firecracker, but it carried huge energy.

The soldiers charging forward layer by layer hit the muzzle of the gun and died quickly.

The protecting army defending Wanping County was well-trained. When faced with the Khitan and Han soldiers rushing in a dense formation, the protecting army officers directly waited fifty steps before attacking. This was in order to achieve the maximum enemy-killing effect.

This strategy greatly requires the combat capabilities of the troops.

Once the soldiers under his command are slightly slow when firing their muskets, it is inevitable that enemies will cross the fire net and come to them, and this thin line of soldiers will have very weak defense against the ice-cold enemies coming towards them.

It was also the brave and skilled members of this protective army who were confident that they could organize the fire net in front of them tightly enough at a distance of fifty steps, so they dared to do such an operation.

And sure enough, after everyone got closer and started shooting, the first round of shooting also achieved excellent results.

The more than 500 escort troops who fired the shots knocked down more than 100 enemies charging in front of them in one breath.
