Chapter 769: General Attack
Unlike the Li Jiajun, who had strict military discipline and stood like a mountain, in the process of waiting for the rear team to leave the city, the morale of the front team of the Goryeo people had long been weakened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
In addition to the door flag troops that filled the faΓ§ade, because they couldn't stand the boring waiting for several hours, among the soldiers and horses who came to King Qin from all over the country, there were people who walked around at will, sat on the ground to eat, and chatted together.
What's more, there was a little local tyrant city lord who was in a hurry, and he actually erected a tent in public, hugged the beautiful woman he snatched, and declared his desire during the day.
After the Li Jiajun launched an attack, the original Goryeo orthodox soldiers quickly discovered it and immediately sounded a gong to warn them.
In peacetime, there is less training, but in wartime the difference is seen. The speed of the two armies of the Goryeo Six Guards, who had received formal training, was not too slow, at least everyone sat in place and chatted, got up and grabbed their weapons, and then they could participate in the battle.
It's a pity that the waiting time is too long, and the patience of the local tyrants of King Qin is almost exhausted, and the soldiers and horses scattered out want to assemble quickly, which is equivalent to taking back the water that was spilled, how is it possible?
Under the command of the military horn and military flag, the soldiers of the Li family army flocked to the Goryeo people who were more than ten times more numerous.
In the face of the menacing Li Jiajun, although the regular army of the Goryeo people was also very afraid, after all, they knew the power of military law, so they had to bite the bullet and raise their guns to meet the enemy.
More than 80 return cannons were loaded on improved wagons, each of which was drawn by four fine pack horses.
The Khitan slaves under the artillery battalion, driven by the bayonets and leather whips of the guards, shouted in unison, urged the burden-bearing pack horses, and followed the footsteps of the large army, striving to advance.
This new type of return cannon, because it throws a clay pot weighing only one catty, and the total weight of the entire gun carriage and the wheels at the bottom is only more than 300 catties, which has basically met the requirements of portability.
Wang Ling's newly appointed head of the heavy house, General Yingyang, is named Li Siyuan. Li Siyuan's own sister is a noble concubine next to Wang Zhao, the last lord of Goryeo, and in this sense, he can barely be regarded as the uncle of the country.
Since anyway, Li Siyuan has always hoped that after defeating the Zhou thief, Li Siyuan has always hoped to welcome back Wang Zhao and return to the throne because of his sister's relationship.
However, Wang Ling's mind is also very clear, he is the rightful emperor of the Great Goryeo, even if Wang Zhao is his father, he will never allow it.
Therefore, Li Siyuan and Wang Ling have always been at odds with each other, and their common goal is only to defeat Li Zhongyi, and then it is time to start infighting.
"Quick, quick, get a knife and get ......"
"Bastard, you didn't even have a gun, what are you running around?"
"Stop him for Lao Tzu, stop him quickly......"
"Ah......h
"My horse, my horse, lead my horse quickly......" The local tyrant city lord, who was still happy in the tent just now, picked up his clothes and ran outside, without even fastening his belt, which was simply ugly.
The Li Jiajun did not take advantage of the unstable position of the Koreans, and immediately launched a charge, still maintaining the inherent rhythm, striding forward with the crisp drum beat.
Just when the two armies were about 500 paces apart, Li Zhongyi suddenly ordered the trumpet to be blown and ordered the three armies to stop advancing.
Ma Guangda touched the stubble on his chin, narrowed his eyes, and said to Yang Wushuang: "Although the formation of the Koreans is a little scattered, the main force still maintains a strict formation. β
Yang Wushuang knew very well the power of the artillery battalion, he smiled slightly, and said: "Four hundred steps is the effective killing distance of the artillery battalion, as long as the Goryeo people give the general attack order, the entire formation will inevitably loosen, but just a few steps away, but it just enters the range of the artillery battalion." Hehe, hundreds of thousands of rabble are charging together, how can it be said that if you stop, you can stop dripping? β
After Li Zhongyi heard this, he put down the monocular in his hand, and let Zhu Niang help him wipe the hot sweat again, and then said with a smile: "I suddenly remembered something, it is very unlucky to call back the cannon, so let's change it to a thunderbolt." β
Yang Wushuang rolled his eyes, still not figuring it out, why was it unlucky to call it back? However, the name Thunderbolt is indeed much more majestic, and it sounds very pleasing to the ear.
The soldiers of the cavalry battalion under Li Yong had been standing still, not only did not get on their horses and rush to kill, but sat quietly on the ground, carefully wiping their bows, crossbows and knives.
According to Li Zhongyi's deployment, the current task of Li Yong's cavalry is only to recuperate.
This is the so-called: good steel must be used on the blade!
When Wang Ling was flustered and uneasy, he suddenly found that Li Jiajun did not take advantage of the situation to attack, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and called out repeatedly: "Siyuan Gong, Zhou Thief's brain is dizzy, let's hurry up and assemble the team and rush to kill it, okay?" β
Li Siyuan was also overjoyed, he nodded again and again and said: "The Zhou thief is extremely stupid, so Weichen will give the order to attack." β
Soon, Li Siyuan gave an order, and the marching drum was immediately beaten, and the Goryeo regular army of the Sixth Guard and Second Army spread their feet, waved the weapons in their hands, and rushed out bravely, shouting and killing immediately shocked the earth.
Li Siyuan calculated very clearly, the Zhou thieves had very few troops, and no matter how much he was a rabble on his side, he also had an army of 300,000.
Li Siyuan didn't know the allusion of ants biting the elephant to death, but even if 300,000 pigs rushed over, no matter how elite the Zhou thief was, he would definitely be crushed.
After the large army rushed out, Li Siyuan couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead with his backhand, it was so dangerous, if Zhou Thief rushed over in one breath just now, the general trend would be very bad!
Li Zhongyi heard the deafening shouts of killing, he didn't even raise his head, and directly ordered Ma Guangda: "Brother Yaoming, order the whole army to be ready and not to attack without authorization." β
Ma Guangda knew in his heart that Li Zhongyi was planning to use the artillery camp to let the stupid Goryeo sticks know what it was like to know the divine weapons of the Heavenly Empire?
The Thunderbolt, Ma Guangda has only heard of it, its range is extremely long and powerful, but he has not seen it himself, how powerful is it?
Li Yunxiao left Li Zhongyi's side very early, personally commanded the officers and soldiers and slaves of the artillery battalion, unloaded the thunderbolt cannon from the Xi cart, and fixed it to the ground.
The whole process is complicated, but since the Thunderbolt has already been installed on the shelf, it is only necessary to determine the location of the deployment, and then the slaves will carry the cart down and fix the stake footing.
According to Li Yunxiao's order, the slaves moved the thunderbolt cannons off the cart, and each cannon was spaced ten zhang apart, and they were lined up.
Soon, the base of the thunderbolt was secured, and a 200-pound counterweight stone was placed. Fifteen slaves were divided into three groups and took turns, and the first group of slaves had already dragged the rope with great difficulty, lifting the counterweight stone high to the highest position.
Immediately afterwards, the loaders of the artillery battalion bent down one after another to pick up a clay pot full of "cocktails" from the wooden box stuffed with hay, and carefully put it in the basket.
Li Yunxiao randomly inspected several crockpots, and he found that each crockpot was sealed extremely tightly, and a small candle was firmly tied to its edge.
This is a special candle, the wick is very thick, the body is thin, after repeated projection experiments, as long as the wick is dipped in a "cocktail" before projection, ignited and launched, in most cases, after the crockpot is broken, the cocktail will be ignited.
At the beginning, Li Zhongyi planned to tie a lit incense stick to the crockpot, but it turned out that the probability of the ignited incense sticks lighting the cocktail was only less than 10%.
The results of the experiment shocked Li Zhongyi and completely reversed his concept of using cocktails.
No wonder someone once said that a lit cigarette butt thrown into gasoline can't actually ignite gasoline, it must be an open flame.
After everything was ready, the Koreans officially launched a general attack, Li Yunxiao sat on horseback, the monocular in his hand was raised in front of him, and he saw that the dense Koreans were like locusts, rushing over frantically.
There are hundreds of thousands of people overwhelming, boundless, and suddenly, there is an illusion of a flash flood, which makes people's hearts shake.
Li Yunxiao didn't care about the Koreans in the front row, the monocular in his hand kept staring at the rear of the Koreans, but the rear of the Koreans never moved, Li Yunxiao couldn't help but nodded, from this point of view, among the generals of the Goryeo Kingdom, there are many clear-eyed people who know military affairs.
In any case, there must always be a fresh force left on hand to act as a reserve, which is the basic common sense that all generals in the army should understand.
Li Yunxiao silently watched the speed of the impact of the Koreans, four hundred and fifty steps, four hundred steps, until about three hundred steps, Li Zhongyi still did not order the artillery battalion to fire. He thought about it for a while, and then understood Li Zhongyi's thoughts, and put the enemy closer, and the next annihilation battle should be more labor-saving.
"Kill ......"
"The barbarian who chopped the lowly ......"
"The city lord said, slaughter a Han barbarian, and reward five times for money......"
The Koreans brandished knives, sticks, nails, and hoes in their hands, and spread out like wolves to the Li family's army.
Li Zhongyi judged that the Koreans had entered the range of two hundred and fifty steps, so he immediately pursed his lips and coldly ordered: "Thunderbolt, shoot!" β
After Li Yunxiao received the unusually familiar bronze trumpet military order, he clenched his fists excitedly and shouted: "Hammer, shoot!" β
After the military order was issued, the officers and men of the well-trained artillery battalion immediately became active, and saw a big man in the shape of a man raising the hammer in his hand, gritting his teeth and exerting his mixed strength, and striking vigorously on the machine.
......Suddenly, more than 100 clay pots filled with cocktails rose into the air, carrying an overwhelming wind and thunder, viciously smashing into the ant-like Goryeo crowd, and then blooming with a demonic life-threatening light.
