Chapter 94 Xunyang Manjing-17

The response of the hill fort was extremely fast, but the Liao cavalry came faster, and the sound of the chaotic and explosive horses' hooves became louder and louder. As soon as Liu Wengu put the ammunition on his feet, he heard a sharp roar, and then the edge of the artillery fortress sounded the sparse sound of "bang", "bang, bang", "bang".

"Fuck, who's messing around!" Someone shouted, "Shoot it!" ”

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang, mixed with the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of fire, and someone was shouting: "Gun and stab!" Shoot and stab! ”

Liu Wengu stared at the front tightly, and the countless flickering fires shook his eyes. His palms were covered with sweat. "How?" Ma Yuan walked behind him. "There's already a fight going on in the north, and it's hard for us to talk about it here." Liu Wengu said with a solemn face, and looked back at the nervous soldiers, "Put a gun and stab it?" "This is the tactics of the Fire Gun Battalion in the most critical time.

"Yes," Ma Yuan said in a low voice, staring ahead, "get on the gun." ”

At night, the artillerymen's line of sight was poor, and it was difficult for them to open artillery bombardment on the Liao army brigade one or two miles away. Countless torches draw a line of light and shadow in the dark night, and the sparseness of the Liao army seems to be clear, but in fact, the place where the fire is dense may be a rider holding two or even three torches, and where the fire is sparse, there may be a large group of cavalry. Suddenly, a group of cavalry crashed out of the darkness, except for more than 100 horsemen in front, and the endless rear was secretly moving. The cavalry approached slowly, and only when it got close did it accelerate suddenly, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves was loud, and it came straight towards the fort on the southeast side.

"Fire-" Liu Wengu subconsciously shouted, and after a while, there was a loud bang, and countless guns shot towards the demonic enemy cavalry in the dark night, and they all turned on their backs, but soon more Liao cavalry came up from behind. The cavalry of the Liao army came very quickly, the firecracker just fired once, and there were cavalry bullied to the front, after the fierce battle during the day, the Liao army was also very familiar with the terrain of the hill fort, some of which were low, the Liao soldiers could jump over the horses, and there were several walled walls that had been damaged in the daytime battle, and the Liao army attacked these weak places.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Get on the gun!"

Zhao Xingde stood in the center of the fort, frowning and looking to the east, in the dark night, nothing could be seen clearly, only the deafening sound of cannonballs, the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, the shouting of soldiers, the tooth barracks nervously deployed around, and the guns were pointed outside. Some of the Liao cavalry had already taken advantage of the chaos to break into the camp, but they did not know where the enemy would come from.

"General, be careful." The pro-soldier cautioned.

"I'm fine." Zhao Xingde shook his head, still staring at the dark night sky. A night battle is no better than a daytime battle, and if the army is mobilized at will, I am afraid that it will become more and more wrong, and several military orders that should be issued have already been issued. Zhao Xingde's nerves tightened, and he took a deep breath of air with the smell of gunsmoke. To the east of the camp, the shouts of killing became louder and louder, and it seemed that the Liao army's focus was there, but it was also possible that it was a feint. Darkness is the attacker's greatest ally.

"If it's Brother Temu, maybe he still has a backhand, if it's that Liao general during the day, maybe he just throws all his strength into one blow, and it depends on whether we can resist it." Behind Zhao Xingde, there were hundreds of cavalry holding the reins of their horses on standby, in the dark night, it was extremely difficult for the infantry to fight in formation, and this weak cavalry was the only counterattack force of the Baoyi army. In the distance, the camp of the Zhenguo Army was dark and gloomy, and the soldiers strictly followed the military discipline of prohibiting random fire at night, and they did not know if there would be reinforcements there. If there were, there would probably be only a handful of cavalry. On the artillery forts everywhere, a number of earth-shaking thunderbolts were piled up, which was the last resort after falling into a fierce battle, and what Zhao Xingde was most concerned about and what he didn't want to hear was the huge explosion.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The light of the cannon flickered and flickered, and it was particularly striking in the dark night. Because they could not reach far, the artillery crew had already discarded the round iron bullets and specially loaded them with iron bucket shotguns, and the gun positions of the fort were arranged according to the power of side fire as much as possible, and in the dark night the target could not be cleared, so the gunners simply did not change the aiming direction and tried their best to speed up the firing speed. With the firing of the artillery, a cluster of bullets was sprayed along the darkness, accompanied by the sound of "whoosh" and "whoosh" breaking through the air, and the arrows flew horizontally along the outside of the Song army's artillery fort wall, and the night concealed the trajectory of the bullets, and when it penetrated into the bodies of men and horses, it would bring huge screams and neighs.

In order to confuse the Song army, the cavalry lit torches at a distance and threw them away when they got closer, the darkness blinded the vision of both sides, and the flickering light emitted by the Song army's artillery and firecrackers was a sign to indicate the advance of the Liao cavalry. The night also covered up the blood and corpses, and in the face of artillery bombardment, the Liao cavalry attacked the small hill more bravely than during the day. The Liao army almost gave up the habit of riding and shooting, and instead fought desperately in the dark, trying to quickly pass through this area of bullets.

The Liao army had long taken a fancy to a gap in the Song army camp, and specially selected hundreds of warriors, wearing three-layer iron armor to rush the camp. Before the firecracker had time to reload the ammunition, the iron cavalry behind him was killed again, "Kill-" The thousand-legged Shi slave got up from the ground with a bone, holding a shield in one hand to block the blade of the spear stabbed from the side, and with a short-handled mace in the other hand, he swung several firecrackers away, and four or five Song soldiers couldn't get close. Taking advantage of this opportunity, dozens of heavily armored Liao soldiers swarmed up, and unexpectedly tore a hole in the Song army's barracks, and the follow-up cavalry poured into the Song army's defense line like a flood.

"The thieves have rushed in!"

"Kill—"

The panicked shouts on the southeast side of the camp were loud, the Khitan cavalry was the best at breaking through and expanding the victory, some of the cavalry continued to advance towards the depths of the Song army camp without stopping, and some of them were divided into two sides to copy the Song army's defense line. The speed of the cavalry was extremely fast, and only a few hundred horsemen broke into the camp, but they ran away, as if thousands of horsemen were burning everywhere.

A group of cavalry rushed over like a whirlwind, and the gunners who were blocking the road were either dead or wounded, Liu Wengu was also rubbed by the war horse, and rolled to the ground, and he didn't know where to throw the handcuffs, he picked up a spear with a spear on it, and roared loudly: "Back to back, back to back!" A few of the surviving soldiers leaned together, their guns pointed outside.

However, after the defensive line was scattered, the force of the soldiers was too small. The cavalry of the Liao army galloped back and forth among the living Song soldiers, and with the speed of their men and horses, they cut down and stabbed the Song soldiers to death one by one, even those Song soldiers who defended back to back could not resist the force of the war horses. In a matter of moments, countless firecrackers fell in pools of blood, screaming one after another, but in the midst of this almost one-sided slaughter, most of the Song soldiers were still fighting with the cavalry on their positions.

"Sacrifice your life for righteousness, it's tonight!" Liu Wengu shouted loudly. He had a wound on his forehead, and the blood was gurgling down his cheek, and it was terrible. Several Song soldiers back to back, in the middle of the war horses galloping back and forth, a cavalry Liao soldier galloped from a close place, the horse gun stretched, the Song army could not react, screamed, Liu Wengu used all his strength, the spear pierced the hind legs of the war horse, but was dragged up by a huge force, he grabbed the handle of the fire gun with both hands, and in an instant it was covered with scaly wounds, at this time, the war horse kicked in pain, and a hoof happened to kick on the fire gun, Liu Wengu only felt that his arms were numb, and the person also flew out.

"Fuck it!" Ma Yuan shouted loudly.

With his back against a low wall, he aimed his handcuffs at a Liao soldier who seemed to have spotted him and raised his spear, as if trying to stab his horse to death. The speed of the war horse is extremely fast, and it is about to reach the front, with a loud "boom", a piece of iron sand sprays out, Ma Yuan only felt that his right arm was sore, and he still used all his strength to jump to the side, almost at the same time, Liao Cavalry and people and horses crashed into the place where he was standing just now, and the war horse was blinded by iron sand, and the cavalry broke his neck.

"Let's fight!"

"Fight!"

Qian Shen was carrying two earth-shattering thunderbolts on his back, and he crouched behind the low wall of the fort. Although he was sent out to lead the state and county volunteers, Qian Shen was still a thunder thrower, and he brought five earth-shattering thunderbolts with him. This group of state and county soldiers either died or fled, and finally Qian Shen became a loner. The lead was burning, his face was terrifyingly calm, "one, two, three、......、 eight ,....." in the tooth barracks, the record of counting was eight, when the count reached "eight", Qian Shen threw the earth-shaking thunder with all his strength, "boom-" A loud noise shook the sky, sparks shot everywhere, this earth-shaking thunder just exploded in the air, shrapnel was everywhere, the war horse roared sadly, and the Liao soldiers who rode by were killed or injured.

"Your grandma," Qian Shen scolded, "I know how powerful Grandpa is." "Ignited the last earth-shattering thunder.

"Quick, quick!" Du Blowhorn said loudly, "Keep in line, don't mess up, don't mess up!" ”

In the darkness, hundreds of foot soldiers formed an array, rushing towards the gap in the defensive line that had been broken through by the Liao cavalry. Although their number is small, all of them are heavily armoured, carrying long-handled axes, spears and other blades on their shoulders, unlike the state and county volunteers, this is the elite thunder thrower specially left by Zhao Xingde, and it is prepared to be used in the most critical places.

Everywhere there were the sound of cannons, shouts of killing, screams, horses' hooves, flashes of fire, and the foot soldier marched quietly, and was about to reach the southeast side of the fort, when suddenly a group of cavalry rushed head-on. "Formation!" "Formation!" "Guns!" The officer shouted loudly, the Song army immediately formed a formation on the spot, spears and axes were pointed ahead, the Liao army was riding a horse and rushing up, the first few horses in front of them could not hold back, and crashed straight into the infantry formation, only to hear the sound of "popping", several spears were suddenly broken, and half of them were inserted into the chest of the war horse. "Catch up!" "Catch up!" Later, Song Jun stepped forward to fill the vacancy. After this stagnation, the Liao army behind controlled the war horses, and they were unwilling to fight, and swept over both sides of the infantry formation.

"Rushing to reincarnation!" Du Fujiao was almost hit by the galloping war horse just now, and spat on it.

The mine-throwers went against the direction of the Liao cavalry and came to the southeast side of the fort. The outer defensive line had been broken by the cavalry, and the remaining Song gunners retreated into the most central artillery positions. With the higher barracks, the firecrackers resisted wave after wave of Liao cavalry.

"It's finally here!" Du Fujiao put down the basket on his back, which was full of earth-shattering thunder, and said loudly, "Quick!" Fast! Light the fire and throw it down! ”
