Chapter 94 Xunyang Man Jingzhan-17

The reaction of the hill artillery barracks was extremely fast, but the cavalry of the Liao Army came even faster, and the chaotic and explosive sound of horseshoes became louder and louder.Just as Liu Wengu put the ammunition on his feet, he heard a sharp bang, and then, "bang bang", "bang bang", "bang bang" and "bang bang" were scattered on the edge of the artillery barracks.

"Damn it, who's firing the guns indiscriminately!" A gunshot shouted, "It's time to fire the guns!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud sound of gunfire, mixed with the sound of horseshoes and firecrackers, and someone shouted: "Stick with the spear! Stab with the spear!"

Liu Wengu stared closely at the front, his eyes were dazzled by countless flickering fire lights.His palms were full of sweat. "How is it?" Ma Yuan walked behind him. "Fighting has already started in the north, so it's hard to say here." Liu Wengu said with a serious face, and looked back at the nervous soldiers. .

"Yes," Ma Yuan said in a low voice, staring at the front, "Stick with the gun."

At night, the artillerymen's sight was poor, and it was difficult for them to fire first at the Liao army brigade one or two miles away.Countless torches draw light and shadows in the dark night. It seems clear that the number of the Liao army is sparse, but in fact, where the flames are dense, maybe a rider holds two or even three torches, and the place where the flames are sparse, maybe Lurking cavalry of the brigade.Suddenly, a group of cavalry rushed out from the darkness. Except for the hundreds of cavalry in front, there was no end to the rear, all of them were secretly acting.The cavalry approached slowly, and then accelerated suddenly when they got close. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of horseshoes, and they came straight towards the southeast side of the artillery barracks.

"Fire——" Liu Wengu shouted subconsciously, and after a while, there was a loud bang, and countless guns shot at the monster-like enemy cavalry in the dark night. Call back immediately.The cavalry of the Liao army came very fast. The musketeers just opened fire once, and some cavalry bullied them. After the fierce battle during the day, the Liao army was also very familiar with the terrain of the hill artillery fortress. There are some low places where the Liao soldiers can ride horses. After jumping over, there were still some village walls that had been damaged in the daytime struggle, and the Liao army stormed these weak places.

"boom--"

"Boom-"

"Get stabbed!"

Zhao Xingde stood in the middle of the artillery barracks, frowning and looking towards the east. In the dark night, he couldn't see anything clearly, only the deafening sound of cannon fire, the sound of horses' hoofs, the yelling of soldiers, and the tenseness of the tooth barracks. The ground is deployed around, and the fire guns are facing the outside.Some Liao army cavalry took advantage of the chaos to break into the camp, but they didn't know where the enemy would come out from.

"General, be careful." The soldier reminded carefully.

"I'm fine." Zhao Xingde shook his head, still staring at the dark night sky.Is it better to fight at night than during the day? If you mobilize the army at will, you may make more mistakes. The few military orders that should be issued have already been issued.Zhao Xingde's nerves were tense, and he took a deep breath of the air that smelled of gunpowder.On the east side of the camp, the shouts of killing became louder and louder. It seemed that the Liao army was focusing on attacking there. However, this could also be a false attack.Darkness is the raider's greatest ally.

"If it's Brother Tiemu, maybe he still has a backup. If it's the Liao general in the daytime, maybe he just put all his strength into one blow, and we can't resist it." Behind Zhao Xingde, there was another man holding the reins There are hundreds of cavalry on standby. In the dark night, it is extremely difficult for infantry to fight in formation. This weak cavalry is the only counterattack force of the Baoyi Army.In the distance, the big camp of the suppressing army was dark, and the soldiers strictly followed the military discipline of prohibiting random fire at night, and it was unknown if there would be reinforcements over there.Even if there are, there are probably only a few cavalry.A group of thunderbolts piled up on the artillery barracks everywhere, which was the last resort after a fierce battle. What Zhao Xingde paid the most attention to, and what he didn't want to hear the most, was the sound of huge explosions.

"boom--"

"Boom-"

The fire of the cannons flashed and flashed, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night.Because they couldn't reach far, the artillery crew had already discarded the round iron bullets and specially loaded the iron barrel shells. The gun positions of the battery were arranged to maximize the power of side fire. In the dark, the gunners couldn't see the target clearly. He simply stopped changing the aiming direction and tried his best to speed up the firing.As the artillery was fired, clusters of bullets sprayed along the darkness, and with the sound of "swish" and "swish", the bullets flew across the outside of the Song Army's artillery wall, and the night covered up the darkness. The trajectory of the bullet, when it penetrates into the body of the horse, will bring about huge screams and neighing.

In order to "confuse" the Song army, the cavalry lit torches in the distance, and threw the torches away when they got close. The darkness blinded the sight of both sides. Mark of the advance of cavalry.The night also covered up the blood and corpses. Facing the bombardment of the artillery, the cavalry of the Liao Army attacked the hill more bravely than during the day.The Liao army almost gave up the habit of riding and shooting, but beat their horses desperately in the dark, trying to quickly pass through this area where bullets were flying.

The Liao army had long taken a fancy to a gap in the Song army's camp, and specially selected hundreds of warriors, wearing three layers of iron armor, to rush into the camp. The cavalry fell towards the low wall.Before the musketeer had time to reload the ammunition, the iron cavalry from behind came up again, "Kill—" the commander Shi Jianu got up from the ground, holding the shield in one hand to block the spear blade stabbing from the side, and the other hand With a violent 'swing' of the short-handled mace, several firecrackers were 'swung' away, and four or five Song soldiers could not get close.Taking advantage of this opportunity, dozens of heavily armored Liao soldiers swarmed up, and even tore a hole in the Song army's camp, and the follow-up cavalry flooded into the Song army's defense line like a flood.

"The Liao thief rushed in!"

"Kill ah-"

There were panicked shouts from the camp on the southeast side. The Khitan cavalry were best at breaking through and expanding their victories. Some of the cavalry continued to march toward the depths of the Song Army's camp without stopping, while some were divided into two sides to copy the Song Army's defense line. The gunners who insisted on fighting immediately fell into the situation of being attacked from the front and back, and some Liao soldiers were in groups of three or four, throwing torches around, creating chaos among the Song army camps.The speed of the cavalry was extremely fast, only a few hundred cavalry broke into the camp, but they ran away, as if thousands of cavalry were burning and killing everywhere.

A group of cavalry rushed over like a whirlwind, and the gunners standing in the way were either dead or injured. Liu Wengu was also rubbed by the horses, and fell to the ground. He didn't know where to throw the guns, so he picked up one and put it on The guns that were stabbed by the guns roared loudly: "Back to back, back to back!" Several surviving soldiers leaned together, and the guns were pointed outside.

However, after the line of defense was scattered, the strength of the soldiers was too small.The cavalry of the Liao army galloped back and forth among the living soldiers of the Song army. With their tall horses and fast horses, they chopped down and stabbed the soldiers of the Song army to the ground one by one. Even those Song soldiers who were defending back to back could not resist the rushing horses. strength.In a short while, countless musketeers fell in a pool of blood, screaming one after another. However, in this almost one-sided massacre, most soldiers of the Song Army were still fighting with the cavalry on the ground.

"Sacrificing one's life for righteousness is tonight!" Liu Wengu shouted loudly.There was a wound on his forehead, and blood was gurgling out, dripping down his cheeks, which was very horrifying.Several Song soldiers were back to back, and they looked very small among the galloping horses. The moment a Liao soldier galloped by, he stretched his spear, and the Song army couldn't react in time. With a scream, Liu Wengu exhausted all his strength, Stabbed the spear on the horse's hind legs, but was dragged up by a huge force. He firmly grasped the handle of the gun with both hands, and his body was covered with bruises in an instant. At this moment, the horse kicked in pain, A hoof happened to kick the firecracker gun, Liu Wengu felt his arms go numb, and he flew out.

"It's a fucking fight!" Ma Yuan shouted.

Leaning his back against a low wall, he aimed his pistol at a Liao soldier who was charging straight up. The Liao soldier seemed to have spotted him and raised his lance, as if wanting to stab Ma Yuan to death.The speed of the war horse was extremely fast, and as soon as it was about to reach the front, there was a loud "boom", and a piece of iron sand shot out. Ma Yuan felt his right arm was numb, and he jumped to the side with all his strength, almost At the same time, the Liao cavalry company and the horse bumped into the place where he was standing just now. The horse was blinded by the iron sand, and the cavalryman broke his neck.

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Qian Shen was carrying two thunderbolts on his back, and he was lying behind the low wall of the artillery fortress.Although he was sent out to lead the prefectural and county volunteers, Qian Shen was still a thunder-thrower, and he carried five thunderbolts with him.This team of state and county soldiers either died or fled, and finally Qian Shen became a loner.The lead wire was burning, and his face was terribly calm, "One, two, three,..., eight,..." In the teeth barracks, the record for counting is eight, when counting At the time of "eight", Qian Shen threw out the thunderbolt with all his strength, "Boom—" a loud noise shook the sky, and sparks shot in all directions. The war horses wailed long and loudly, and the Liao soldiers who passed by were either killed or injured.

"You 'grandma', 'grandma'," Qian Shen scolded, "knows how powerful Grandpa is." He ignited the last thunderbolt.

"Quick, quick!" Du Chuanjiao shouted, "Keep in line, don't 'chaos', don't 'chaos'!"

In the darkness, hundreds of infantry lined up and rushed towards the gap in the defense line broken by the cavalry of the Liao Army.Although they are small in number, all of them are in heavy armor, carrying long-handled axes, spears and other weapons on their shoulders, unlike the volunteer soldiers from the prefectures and counties, these are the elite thunder-throwing hand specially left by Zhao Xingde, prepared to be used in the last critical place.

There are cannons, shouts, screams, hoofbeats, and flashes of fire everywhere. This infantry marched quietly, and it was about to reach the southeast artillery barracks when suddenly a group of cavalry rushed towards it. . "Fire the formation!" The cavalry couldn't hold back, and crashed straight into the infantry formation, only to hear the sound of "papa", several long spears suddenly broke, and half of them hit the chest of the horse. "Catch up!" "Catch up!" Song Jun rushed forward to fill the gap.After this delay, the Liao army in the back controlled the horses, and they didn't want to fight, so they swept past the two sides of the infantry.

"Hurry up to reincarnate!" Du Chuijiao was almost hit by a galloping horse just now, and spat.

The thunder-throwers went against the direction of the Liao army cavalry and came to the southeast artillery fort.The outer line of defense had been breached by the cavalry, and the remaining gunmen of the Song Army retreated into the core artillery position.Relying on the higher camp, the musketeers resisted wave after wave of Liao army cavalry.

"It's finally here!" Du Chuijiao put down the basket on his back, and it was full of shocking thunder, and said loudly, "Quick! Quick! Light the fire and throw it down!"
