Chapter 1034: The Battle of Heiankyo (Medium)
The first round of arrow rain is just a temptation, and this round is just lighting, the rockets fell into the formation of the Japanese army, instantly making them the target of the Great Song crossbow arrows, the experienced Yu Hou in the army has already divided the crossbow archers into three rows and began to shoot in turn, so that the arrow rain is almost endless.
The rattling and rattling of the ratchet wheels sounded like a drum, and the Japanese wailed and hid in the nearby houses, and the military discipline began to slacken, and if it were not for their absolute numerical superiority, I am afraid that the signs of rout would have begun to appear.
Yang Shuo looked at Cai Boyu, and when he saw his resolute eyes, he found for the first time that he was different from before.
The previous Cai Boyu always gave people a feeling of being gentle, with a good temper, and he could talk to anyone, even the big soldiers in the army could talk to him.
And now Cai Boyu is more like a general, yes is a general, although he does not have strong martial arts, nor does he have any outstanding command, and he is not even very clear about the way to use troops, but he gives people a sense of indomitable spirit.
As the crossbow arrows continued to accumulate, Yang Shuo began to hold back and whispered to Cai Boyu: "Transporter, our arrows can't withstand such consumption, can we stop?" If the Japanese rush up, we won't have crossbow arrows......"
Cai Boyu shook his head slightly: "Go on, use all the ordnance that can be poured into the enemy formation, use all the things that can be consumed, gunpowder bullets, crossbow arrows, fierce fire oil arrows, etc., and so on, so that the Japanese can't raise their heads!" I won't need it later. In addition, send someone to tell Shi Yuansun that he can go! Let's not use a cannon to avoid suspicion! ”
Yang Shuo nodded slightly, sure enough, it was to cover Shi Yuansun, but there was no need to be such a loser! This is not in the Great Song Dynasty, how many crossbow arrows and fire oil can be replenished, in this way, even if Shi Yuansun takes the city gate, the army will only have to run away.
Although he thought so in his heart, Shi Yuansun still carried out Cai Boyu's order, and Shi Yuansun's departure also indicated that Cai Boyu became the supreme commander of this army.
After Yang Shuo sent someone to give orders to the various armies, Cai Boyu explained: "These things will not be used later, and you have to gather all the vans in the army, and after the soldiers have finished shooting the crossbow arrows, collect the eight bull crossbows and ratchet crossbows, and put them all into the vans, pour them with fierce fire oil, and burn them clean, Cai Shi, you will help Yang Sima count later, remember that there is no shortage of account books, and burn them all!" ”
Of course, Yang Shuo knew what Cai Boyu was doing, firstly, to reduce the weight on the soldiers, and secondly, to never give the Japanese a chance to get these things, and no one could guarantee that there would be any omissions in the later fight...... Sure enough, I'm going to run away!
"Well, I'll listen to you! I'm going to order the battalions, and let the lieutenant colonel supervise it, and Cai Shi will go to the battalions with me to count later! Yang Shuo thought about it and said: "These things can't be wasted, the last fire can also make a wall of fire to block the Japanese people, believe me, as long as you pour fierce fire oil, unless it burns to the point that there is nothing to burn, no one can extinguish it!" ”
Cai Boyu nodded slightly, with a long-disappeared smile on his face: "Okay, Yang Sima has a lot of trouble!" ”
Commanding an army of 5,000 people is not difficult for Cai Boyu, this army has been trained to operate independently, to put it mildly, even if Cai Boyu is dead, this army should still do what it should do, this is the characteristic of the Great Song army.
The projectiles of the Great Song Dynasty were frantically tilted towards the Japanese army as if they did not want money, and the fiery rain of arrows, the burning oil, the explosive gunpowder shells, and the dense crossbow arrows staged a very wonderful performance in the military formation of the Japanese army.
The excitement is like a festive festival, but it is only accompanied by the wailing of the Japanese people, the rocket is like a meteor falling to the ground, and the oil is like a magma eruption, this is a hell on earth, although it is far away, but it is close at hand.
At this time, Shi Yuansun led a thousand people to kill from the side gate, and the five hundred heavy cavalry opened the way like a mudslide rushing through the woods, and suddenly the Japanese army on the flank of the Great Song military camp collapsed in an instant.
They had never encountered heavy horsemen and horses with heavy armor, and even their own armor was a few pieces of broken bamboo...... Even the large armor of the "well-armed" samurai was only made of leather.
The mighty cavalry swept across the fields like a hurricane, the Japanese soldiers were blown like wheat, and some even lay on the ground and pretended to be dead rather than get up to fight, their weapons could not even leave any traces on the steel monster in front of them, and the powerful impact of the war horses could knock them out and vomit blood to death.
Although the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom had not fought with the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, they knew that as long as they were knocked down, they had no chance to dodge, and if they could not dodge, they would die.
This was a truly one-sided battle, and Shi Yuansun led a thousand soldiers like a sharp knife tearing a hole in the Japanese defense line, even if they were to be released? Tens of thousands of soldiers have long been stationed on the walls of Heiankyo!
The Japanese found a suitable reason to retreat, in order to reduce casualties and save their lives, they naturally let the Great Song soldiers pass, but they didn't know that it was this few thousand people, but they would not only tear a hole in their defense line, but also tear a hole for the Great Song army to break through Heianjing!
But now the Japanese are immersed in a terrifying atmosphere, the strength of the Great Song army is reflected in the two sides and when the short hand is connected, the army of the Japanese has no counterattack at all, although their bows and arrows are very large, but the range is not far, this is what Cai Boyu has long known, and it also makes the crossbow arrows of the Song army completely suppress the Japanese people.
The country is mountainous, so it is impossible to use large-scale group shooting, and the war is also very small, it is difficult to make up a large-scale archer, and the arrows of the Wa country are very wide, which shortens the range of the longbow that is not far away, and causes the bow and arrow to have a large arc in the shooting, and the wide arrow is to form a cutting effect after shooting into the human body to expand the wound.
But now, the bows and arrows of the Wa Kingdom can't even reach the edge of the Great Song army, so what's the use of being powerful? However, the crossbow arrows of the Great Song army were different, not only with long range, but also with amazing lethality, which was specially treated with arrows and arrow shafts, adding a long blood groove.
Like the three-edged military thorn, each crossbow arrow has three blood grooves that start from the arrow and extend to the tail of the arrow shaft, once shot into the human body, the blood will flow out quickly through the blood tank, this kind of crossbow arrow is the first time the Great Song Dynasty was used, and the Wa Kingdom became the battlefield of the Great Song Dynasty's experimental weapons.
