Fisherman's Song Dynasty

On a hill more than [-] miles away from Jincheng Pass, Xu Zizhen and the other three were watching from the top of the hill. In the distance was the densely packed Xixia army. From this angle, the entire army could be seen clearly.

Liu Feng said loudly, "This Xiang Size really can't hold his breath, look at this posture, is it necessary to break the Jincheng Pass today?"

Xu Zizhen said with a smile: "How could it be so easy? Mr. Xiaozhong sent people to harass their army, just to keep them calm, so why not be unprepared? Don't think that the [-] Deshun army will definitely fight But with one hundred thousand Xixia iron cavalry, Mr. Xiaozhong alone can support an army of eighty thousand."

Liu Fengsui was slightly moved, looked longingly towards the direction of Jincheng Pass, and said with emotion: "If my Great Song can have more talents like this, why should he be afraid of his little Jin Kingdom?"

Xu Zizhen patted him on the shoulder: "Looking at you, you really admire him, why don't you turn around and go into the city and I'll introduce you, and let him accept you as a general or something?"

Liu Fengsui smiled and said: "Forget it, younger brother has self-knowledge, how can he be so easy to be a general? But if elder brother becomes a general, younger brother is willing to serve under your account, just afraid that elder brother will despise younger brother."

Xu Zizhen sneered and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. Is it so difficult to be a general? A while ago, Mr. Xiaozhong wanted me to be a general, but I didn't like him."

Liu Fengsui asked in surprise, "Why?"

Xu Zizhen pretended to be disdainful and said: "Is my ambition as simple as being a young general under the account of a small seed? Don't look at me being kicked out like a dog by Xiao's family and Sanjuetang these days, I will definitely destroy them someday! "

Bu Fen clapped his hands and praised with a smile: "Well said! Brother Xu is thoughtful and skilled, and he will surely be the talent to command an army in the future. How can this little guy compare with you?"

No matter how thick-skinned Xu Zizhen was, he couldn't help but blush a little at this moment, and laughed loudly: "Brother Bu, don't hurt me, I'm just bragging, if it comes to fighting, I can't compare to Xiaozhong One-thousandth of my husband."

Bu Fen chuckled: "You make that little gentleman look like a god-man, but in my opinion, that's just the case. Even if the strategy of disturbing the enemy is really as you guessed, how can Xiang Size be the one?" How can an incompetent person fail to see through his intentions?"

Xu Zizhen was stunned: "What do you mean? Brother Bu, you mean... Xiang Size deliberately pretended to be a trick to attack Jincheng Pass?"

Bu Fen pointed to the Xixia army in the distance and said, "Look for yourself, if Feng Size is in the middle of the game, he must be burning with anger at this time, or use the tactics of crowds at all costs to rush through the pass. You don't know what kind of terrain Jincheng Pass is. You know, how could you charge forward with cavalry?"

Xu Zizhen looked carefully, and Bu Fen didn't say that he hadn't noticed. Sure enough, the front line of the Xixia army was full of cavalry, and the densely packed Bubazi followed closely behind, which was completely different from the previous formation of the Xixia army attacking the city.

At this moment, Xu Zizhen suddenly saw a banner waved a few times in the camp of the Chinese army, and then the formation of the army changed suddenly, and the cavalry retreated in unison, and the infantry behind the cavalry They were like locusts crossing the border, piercing through the gaps in the cavalry formation, and swooping towards the gate violently.

From this small hill, the specific situation of the closing of the Jincheng Pass could no longer be seen, but Xu Zizhen and the three of them still heard a series of cannon shots very clearly.

Xu Zizhen's heart was relieved when he was just mentioned, and he said with a smile: "Look, I said Mr. Xiaozhong is prepared, right?"

But before he finished speaking, he saw dozens of strange-shaped carts rushing out from behind the Xixia army. Underneath were two rows of huge straight wheels, and in the middle was a frame made of thick wood mixed with steel bars. The long arm has a bowl-shaped stone pocket at the end.

Each cart is dragged by more than a dozen horses, and the formation is neat and uniform. Wherever they pass, the army quickly evades, making room for them to pass through. In the blink of an eye, these carts have reached the center of the formation. Steadily stopped.

The closed cannonballs flew down like rain, but the cannonballs used by the artillery in the Northern Song Dynasty were mainly stone and iron bullets, and the range was not far. It seemed that the momentum was very loud, but only when the cannonballs fell into the dense crowd Only then will it cause damage. Like now, the Bubazi rushed up quickly, the formation was extremely loose, and they ran around at will, so the damage of the artillery was reduced to the lowest point.
