In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 239 Is this kind of gun useful?

Originally, he planned to stand still and wait for the Song army to attack, but he didn't expect that the Song army would shoot at him from a long distance with a bow without paying attention to martial arts.

Zhang Rong had no choice but to bite the bullet and ordered to rush forward.

They are not the Mongolian army, they are all infantry in front.

This time is really miserable.

Buzzing, the third wave of divine arm bows came overwhelmingly again.

The two armies had not yet contacted, and Zhang Rong suffered heavy casualties.

"Rush, rush, rush up." Zhang Rong and the others had no choice but raised their arms and shouted.

Amidst the shouts of killing all over the sky, nearly 1 of Zhang Rong's subordinates rushed up noisily, and thousands of others guarded against Tian Shirong's troops in the north.

Tian Shirong from the north also ordered to step forward at this time, and the north and south sides fought at the same time.

With the Song army's large formation and sharp armor at this time, it was almost crushed except for the Mongols.

Especially this kind of soldiers and horses with more infantry is simply giving away heads.

Zhang Rong and the others also knew that they could not let the bow of the god arm shoot straight, so they accelerated and rushed forward.

But within a hundred steps there is a bow of the gods, within seventy or eighty steps there is a strong crossbow, and within fifty steps there is a step bow.

In just over 100 steps, it was like a road to death. Song Jun's arrows rained down, and screams everywhere on the opposite side.

Zhang Rong's soldiers and horses rushed within [-] steps of the Song army despite the casualties along the way.

After entering twenty steps, bang bang bang, Song Jun's big shields smashed to the ground one after another.

The entire row in front looked like shields, forming a shield wall.

Amidst the shouts of killing from both sides, boom, the two armies finally met at close quarters.

The brutal hand-to-hand combat began.

However, the Song army had many bows and arrows, and the six rows of spear and shield soldiers in front were supporting them, while the back row kept throwing them.

The Song Army had strict discipline and was as immovable as a mountain. The scene was one-sided, and Zhang Rong's subordinates went up and down one after another.

Zhang Rong at this meeting was really not beaten by the Song army. If Yan Shi and the Meng army were not there, Zhang Rong's department would be defeated in less than an hour.

In front of Zhangqiu City, the two sides have already started a battle.

Not far to the north, Song Tian was staring at Qian Daqing's cannon.

Tian Shirong only brought this artillery battalion, which was useless, because Peng Yibin's artillery battalion was also useless.

Tian Shirong is useless, not because he regards this artillery battalion as a treasure, but because he has never been in contact with it before. They muddy legs don't really agree with the artillery battalion in their hearts. There are only 25 cannons. What's the use?

In addition, Peng Yibin said all day long that the artillery battalion was precious, cavalry could die, and the artillery battalion should be kept, so Tian Shirong thought, if you are so precious, just stay behind and don't need you to go forward, so Qian Daqing's artillery battalion was released. at the end.

Song Tianying was in charge of protecting Qian Daqing's Pao Battalion, so it was naturally assigned to the end.

At this moment, Qian Daqing's men were unloading their guns.

After walking for so many days, Song Tian and Qian Daqing finally saw the real face of the artillery.

Qian Daqing's men climbed onto the big carriage one after another, then opened one side of the wooden board, and then the four lifted up the cannons and got out of the carriage.

Only then did Song Tian realize that these cannons were all hidden in the car.

What is the use of such a small artillery?Song Tian looked at the cannon, which could be lifted by four people, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"How heavy is this thing?" Song Tian couldn't help but stepped forward and asked Qian Daqing: "How far can it hit?"

"250 catties." Qian Daqing glanced at him: "The shooting range is 150 paces, and the strongest killing distance is [-] paces. Of course, [-] paces is also effective when hitting crowded crowds."

"So close and so small is useful?" Song Tian exclaimed immediately, "The god arm and bow are stronger than him."

Qian Daqing was stunned for a moment, and then gave him a blank look: "The power is stronger than the bow of the god arm, I can hit several with one shot."

"But you are slow." Song Tian actually knew that the artillery fire was slow.

Qian Daqing gave him another look and didn't want to talk to him, saying that our guns are useless.

Then Song Tian found several shorter cannons that were lifted down: "What kind of cannons are these?" He asked eagerly.

"The ones that mainly shoot shotguns have a thicker muzzle and a shorter range. They only have a hundred paces, and the most effective killing distance is forty paces. It is very good for intensive infantry."

Fearing that Song Tian would not understand, Qian Daqing bent down and lowered his head, groped for a while, grabbed a handful of buckshot and handed it over.

"It's full of this kind of lead bullets, 180 to 12 grains in one shot, fired out in a fan-like shape, the height can reach two feet, and the width can reach four feet (about [-] meters) at forty steps, which can be worn by people and horses. "

Qian Daqing used his hands to draw a route for the lead bullet to fly out, with a proud face.

Qian Daqing likes to use shotguns to fight dense formations, because he has not tried it until now, and he really wants to see how spectacular the scene is.

Seeing his complacent look, Song Tian deliberately didn't take it seriously: "If you want to change to a golden man and a man of blindness, you will rush up quickly in forty steps, and you will only shoot one shot."

"Isn't it because you are at the front?" Qian Daqing laughed.

"..." Song Tian.

Then Song Tian saw Qian Daqing's arrangement.

Qian Daqing's battalion had 25 cannons and [-] carriages with it.

Five of them are loaded with gunpowder and shells. Usually, one cannon can fire fifteen to twenty shots in a battle.

It is useless to bring too much, if you shoot too much in a short time, the barrel may be useless.

At this time, Qian Daqing was lining up the carriage to the back of the army, and found a low-lying place, and then moved the long-barreled artillery to a higher place.

He asked Song Tian's men to stand behind the carriage. If soldiers and horses came from behind, they could use the formation of chariots to resist the charge.

The short-barreled artillery is placed behind the archer.

Qian Daqing's men also brought lime with them, and began to spread it on the ground, and then drove it into the ground with a pitch-black iron rod as a mark.

Then he took Song Tian around.

"This is the approximate attack range of the shotgun. If the enemy invades our formation, your soldiers and horses within this range will not be afraid of being hit by the artillery. Remember, you must let the brothers retreat beyond the lime as soon as possible."

Song Tian looked back at the cannon behind him: "Will it be hit by his own cannon if it's within the limestone?"

"more or less."

After hearing this, Song Tian felt that the cannons were useless. If the enemy troops really rushed up, these cannons would be useless, and they would easily hit their own people, so they were useless.

What kind of base cannon is this? It might even hit one of our own people. Song Tian cursed and left, then took each of his heads, and the corporal went around together. When the enemy is coming, keep your eyes wide open, don't stand in these limestones, you are easy to be hit by your own cannons.

Everyone remembered.

Zhou Bing came up at this time, also with a displeased expression on his face: "It sounds like this cannon is useless, and the enemy can charge up after one or two shots."

"If you fight later, it will be easier to hit your own people."

Song Tian thought for a while, then said: "The long cannon can't hit our own people, and the short cannon is for shooting shotguns. Qian Daqing said there is no safety point."

"As long as it's not within the angle, you can't hit your own people."

"This fight is extremely chaotic, who cares about the angle." Zhou Bing yelled.

That's right, Song Tian nodded secretly, his Buying hadn't trained this kind of thing before, and it was too late to scream, and no one would pay attention to it, and it might not be able to do it if they heard it.

The two were discussing the artillery, when suddenly there was a change in the north and south. First, the south shouted wildly, as if something major had happened, and then Tian Shirong's army erupted with the roar of mountains and tsunamis.

"Win." Song Tian and Zhou Bing were overjoyed.

Zhang Rong's soldiers and horses in the south seemed to be unable to withstand it. The Song army kept bows and crossbows, and the pikemen were so fierce that Zhang Rong couldn't charge up at all. After fighting for a while, Peng Yibin ordered the two-winged cavalry to charge.

Zhang Rong also ordered the cavalry to fight, the two sides rushed to kill, and Zhang Rong's troops were defeated again.

Zhang Rong's war horses are basically raised locally, or they belonged to the former Jin people. Peng Yibin took thousands of war horses from Li Quan, and later he was supported by Jeju war horses. In addition, his cavalry had a high rate of armor. If it is invincible, it will collapse immediately.

Seeing that Zhang Rong's army was about to collapse, but at this moment, a black mass of cavalry appeared behind Yan Shi in the north.

Seeing the great joy, Yan Shi, who had been standing still, shouted immediately: "The Mongolian army is here, get ready."

The strict people took out the red cloth belts one after another, and then tied them on their left arms.

After everyone was tied up, Yan Shi drew his sword and roared: "Song Ting is weak and incompetent, the Mongolian army is invincible, brothers, follow me to kill Song Dog."

"kill."

As soon as he gave an order, more than 8000 people under his command frantically rushed to Peng Yibin's rear.

When Peng Yibin received the order from the court to guard against Yan Shi, he still felt a little guilty and hoped that the court would guess wrong, but when he saw Yan Shi really rushing over, he knew that Yan Shi was hopeless.

He had been sending sentry cavalry for defense before, but he didn't expect the Mongolian army to appear from the direction of Yan Shi, which meant that Yan Shi and the Mongolian army had communicated and avoided most of the sentry cavalry of the Song army.

At this time, Peng Yibin had won a big victory and was chasing and killing Zhang Rongjun who was fleeing. Zhang Rong had planned to run to Zhangqiu City, and most of the defeated soldiers fled in all directions. .

"Reinforcements are coming, destroy Peng Yibin."

The morale of Zhang Rong's subordinates was greatly boosted, and they rushed back to Peng Yibin.

Peng Yibin was not in a hurry. At this time, he couldn't panic, and his formation had been maintained very well, let alone panic. He looked at the situation around him, and sent out orders one after another. The military flags around him kept shaking, and the orderers run around.

Hush, suddenly his back row turned around, and then the back row ran forward, and the front row came back.

Yan Shi was only a few hundred paces away from Peng Yibin's rear army, and before halfway through, the Song army had already completed its change of formation.

The whole movement was fast and urgent, about 1, about three armies, completed the formation change within a few minutes.

Riding on the horse, Yan Shi watched while rushing, and saw Song Jun running around, running back and forth.

It looks messy and messy, but when it stops, it is no different from before the change, and it still looks neater.

But the archers and pikemen who were originally in the rear have changed positions.

"Damn, how did you practice?" Yan Shi cursed inwardly, and also had a bad premonition.

He looked back, not far away, Li Jia was also shocked.

The Song army changed quickly and quickly, and in an orderly manner. It was really shocking to see them and the Mongolian army coming without panic.

But the Mongolian army has already arrived, and this battle cannot be fought without a fight.

"Rush." ​​He bit the bullet and swung the knife vigorously.

"Om" there was a buzzing sound in the air, and Song Junbing on the opposite side split into two groups, continuing to chase Zhang Rong all the way, and a wave of magic arm bows had already shot at them.

Although the god arm bow is important, Zhao and Rui still give priority to building infantry armor to ensure the armor rate of the Song army, so there are not many Peng Yibins.

The strict soldiers and horses rushed up with the dead and wounded, and a moment later, with a bang, the soldiers and horses of both sides also collided firmly.
