Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 719

Just when the Xuanwu Army was feeling desperate, a middle-aged man holding a badge from the Ministry of National Security suddenly stood up from a pile of corpses on the ground next to him, carrying a large leather bag, and holding a token in his hand , Said loudly: "General, this is Yan Junlin, the person in charge of the No. [-] stronghold of the Ministry of National Security in Linzhou. There is a hundred catties of gunpowder here. You can try to blow up the iron gate."

Seeing this, Zhan Xiongwu was overjoyed, and the Xuanwu Army was even more ecstatic. He led people desperately to kill the Song army and Linzhou army who were besieging them in front of Ximen, and retreated more than ten feet. The name Xuanwu Heavy Cavalry.At this time, it was already difficult for them to charge, so they got off their horses long ago and turned into a foot battle.Because they have been surrounded by enemy regiments before the west gate.

Under the cover of the bodies of more than a dozen Xuanwu heavy cavalry, Yan Junlin ran towards the iron gate of the west gate with the gunpowder bag in his arms.

Whether it is the former Huaxia Weifu or the current Xiangfu Kingdom, it is no secret in the eyes of the major forces in the world that they have powerful gunpowder that can blow up everything. When Yan Junlin held the gunpowder bag and took out the flint, Although the Song army and the Linzhou army surrounded here were densely surrounded by Xuanwu heavy cavalry horses and bodies, they did not see it, but the Linzhou army on the city wall above their heads saw this scene, so the eight-ox crossbow on the top of the city and the dense crowd Arrow rain frantically shot at Yan Junlin and the gunpowder bag in his arms.

It is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to hurt heavy armored warriors who are wearing heavy armor and wrapping themselves tightly, leaving only eyes. The horse was crucified at the foot of the city.

Before Yan Junlin ran to the iron gate, and moved three Song army corpses and put the gunpowder bag on the iron gate halfway up, half of the more than ten basalt heavy cavalry who desperately protected Yan Junlin were killed by the thick eight-ox crossbow The crossbow. The gun pierced through the heavy armor. The powerful crossbow. The gun was strung on their bodies, sinking into the ground for more than a foot.

Yan Junlin lit the gunpowder.Then he ran out desperately, and was shot to death by the archer above his head just two steps away.He cried out and fell down before dying.

Then, after all the Xuanwu heavy cavalry desperately repelled the enemy in front of them, they abandoned the enemy without hesitation and fell to the ground.And use the four limbs to prop up the body, if you put your chest on the ground, you will be shocked to death.The Xiangfu army has learned this point.

The lead wire on the gunpowder pack was very short, and it exploded as soon as it hit the ground.

The dark red fireball suddenly expanded outwards, and then quickly retracted.

With a loud bang, a pile of corpses at the gate of the city was torn into pieces by the powerful shock wave, and the gate of the city where the corpses piled up was immediately cleared out of an open space.Although the iron gate is thick, the toughness of iron in this era is far from enough. A strong explosion at a point will directly shatter it.The Xuanwu Legion opened the west gate that hadn't been opened all night.

Even Zhan Xiongwu didn't know the explosive power of a hundred catties of gunpowder, but he knew he had to lie down.

And while lying down, he yelled for his subordinates to lie down.

The opponent who was still extremely brave at the last moment suddenly fell to the ground, which made Song Jun and Linzhou Army stunned for a moment. A Song Jun instinctively slashed at the lying enemy with a sword in his hand.

However, before he could cut down with the knife, a deafening bang reached his ears, and then he found his body flew up...

He was not the only one who flew up, he even saw many heads, arms and legs flying forward beside him.

The closest to the city gate, the Song army and the Linzhou army who were fighting with the Xuanwu heavy cavalry at the front all flew up. Some died, but most of them were seriously injured, vomiting blood or disabled, and lost their combat effectiveness.

The Xuanwu heavy cavalry led by Zhan Xiongwu knew the result long ago and had been trained in this area. After the loud noise, they quickly stood up. After Zhan Xiongwu gave an order, everyone ran towards the outside of the city gate. go.After a while, the Song army and the Linzhou army came to their senses, and when they chased them out, Zhan Xiongwu led more than 600 soldiers in heavy basalt armor and was already hundreds of meters away from the city gate.This is why Zhan Xiongwu and the others are wearing heavy armor and have no horses to travel, otherwise they would have run away and disappeared.

However, suddenly the three thousand cavalry in front of them rushed towards them, Zhan Xiong Wu's eyes were like lightning, and he immediately recognized that the leader of the three thousand cavalry was Gao Huaide.Because the incident happened suddenly, he didn't notice the panic in Gao Huaide's eyes, and thought it was Gao Huaide who had been lying here for a long time.

On the opposite side, Gao Huaide was about to run to the Linzhou city. As long as they had the help of the Linzhou defenders on the top of the city, they could escape from Ye Chen's pursuit behind them, but suddenly an army in heavy armor appeared in front of them. .

"Heavy infantry!"

"It's Zhan Xiongwu!"

Gao Huaide's complexion changed drastically. At this time, if he turned around to bypass this heavy armored infantry, he would definitely slow down and be caught up by Ye Chen behind him.

"Rush over." Gao Huaide made a decisive decision.

Seeing that Gao Huaide led about [-] cavalrymen rushing forward with Chongxiao's murderous aura, Zhan Xiongwu fixed his bloodthirsty eyes on the enemy in front of him, and said loudly: "Brothers fight with them, change into the formation of heavy armored infantry .”

The Xuanwu Heavy Cavalry has considered the issue of the exchange of heavy cavalry and heavy armored infantry at the beginning of its establishment. Cavalry charge, but also can be used for infantry to kill the enemy.

Zhan Xiongwu gave an order, and the straight knives in the hands of more than 600 heavy armored infantry were raised in unison.

They were all armored, burly, and heavy on their feet. Even though three thousand cavalry rushed to make the ground tremble, their steps were steady and dignified. Soon, they lined up shoulder to shoulder, followed by the first Second row, third row...

"Heavy armored infantry? Hundreds of heavy armored infantry want to block us?"

Gao Huaide and his party didn't have the slightest fear, because they had no way out. Ye Chen's three divine arrows and the horror of the [-] black knights who could turn into human bombs at any time had frightened them and made them lose their minds. Without the slightest courage to turn around and fight Ye Chen and his party.

After all, Gao Huaide was old, and he had been busy all night, galloping at full speed for more than 40 miles, and his body was already very tired.At this time, the sprint naturally couldn't be at the forefront, without his order, the soldiers behind him accelerated forward and surrounded him in the middle.

Three thousand Song cavalrymen clenched their war sabers and charged towards them. More than 600 heavy armored infantry led by Zhan Xiongwu shouted in unison and raised their straight sabers.

Both sides are exhausted.

"What kind of knife is this? Like the legendary Mo knife? But it's different." Song Qi, who was far away, saw the shape and size of the straight knife, and couldn't help but jump in his heart.

"brush!"

A row of straight knives stood erect like a wall. At this moment, the red sun jumped out of the mountain in the eastern sky, and the bright sunlight reflected from the blades, piercing people's eyes.Song Bing, who rushed to the front, widened his eyes in horror. Compared with the row of terrifying straight knives in front of him, the war knives in their hands became ridiculous toys.It was too late to have extra thoughts, the horse was still charging forward, and a dazzling knife light slashed down head-on.

The rapid impact still had an effect. Although the first row of heavy armored infantry hit the opponent, except for Zhan Xiongwu in the middle, they were also knocked backward by the powerful impact. Blood, it seems that he can't survive.But because Zhan Xiongwu forcibly blocked the enemy's charge in the middle, the entire formation was not in disorder. They were tightly resisted by the second row of soldiers, and the enemy cavalry who rushed over were forcibly chopped off by the sword soldiers. It blocked their subsequent cavalry's charge pace.

Zhan Xiongwu led the heavy armored infantry and began to move forward step by step with the rhythm of the war drums, swinging their knives, chopping down, stepping, and then swinging their knives...

The [-] light cavalry led by Gao Huaide originally wanted to stand out from the enemy's formation, piercing through the formation like a sharp knife, and escape from Ye Chen, who was closely tied behind him, but the light cavalry who had lost their impact advantage were irresistible here. In front of the sword array, they have completely lost their vigor, and the heavy armored infantry marched in like a wall, invincible, and those who encountered the enemy cavalry were destroyed.

Gao Huaide really didn't expect that more than 600 people in this area actually blocked the charge of their 300 cavalry, and caused them great casualties.As soon as he gave an order, he was about to order to walk around from both sides.However, behind them, more than 2000 steps away, Ye Chen led more than 600 cavalry to catch up, and with Zhan Xiongwu leading more than [-] heavy armored infantry to intercept, the distance opened quickly shortened.

When the distance was more than 100 steps, Ye Chen waved his hand, and more than 2000 crossbow arrows shot towards the Song cavalry.

While the borders of Xiangfu Kingdom, Longzhou, and Linzhou were at war, the country of Xiangfu was not safe either. There were so many assassins, but they were also creating troubles everywhere.

The target of their assassination was very clear. Within a month, Xiangfu killed two civil servants of the state capital, three cases of arson in Xiazhou City, and Dai Zhifu in Lingzhou were all assassinated. The assassins failed because of the strong guards.

It's just that these assassins took one shot, and they were dug out by Hu Sanguang's powerful action capabilities led by the Ministry of National Security, and then carried out a siege.Except for a few who escaped, most of them were captured or killed.

…………

…………

The battle under the city of Longzhou has reached a fever pitch, and the Fuzhou Zhejia army is carrying ladders to storm the city.

"Whoever climbs the city first will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!"

Zhe Chongxun had already passed down the order, hoping to improve the morale and courage of the soldiers through rewards.In fact, this method is good, and it has indeed made many soldiers braver or less afraid of death.

However, not long after the onslaught started again, bursts of cold liquid with an unpleasant smell fell from the sky, and evenly sprinkled on everyone like rain.This is one of the latest research results developed by the Weapons Research Department of the Equipment Department of Xiangfu Kingdom to defend the city - fuel oil.
