Li Changjie has heard of gunpowder, and what Song Jun has suddenly made in recent years, anyone who has a little idea about Song Guo will have heard of this thing.

In the past two years, the brains of the Song people fighting with the party people in the northwest have come out, and the Jiaozhi people will definitely not be idle. It was after this that they heard about the gunpowder of the Song people.

But it's one thing to hear about it, and it's another thing to actually face it.

So far, the Tangut people, in addition to thickening their armor, earplugs blocking their ears, and dispersing formations, have really not found a good way to deal with gunpowder. They also recycled the dumb gunpowder of the Song people, but the effect of the imitation gunpowder was always not as good as that of the Song people.

When he arrived at the Jiaozhi people, he experienced the power of gunpowder for the first time, and Li Changjie was frightened.

When Wu Shunxiao's subordinates returned, they said that the Song people knew how to spell and could make the Fuliangjiang River on fire. Li Changjie didn't believe it in his heart, but it was the case.

Seeing the gunpowder today, and seeing the tragic situation of the soldiers in the face of gunpowder, Li Changjie couldn't help but be heartbroken.

I still underestimated the power of gunpowder!

"Spread out! Disperse! Fall back! ”

The generals who commanded the battle shouted loudly, but the Jiaozhi soldiers who had seen the gunpowder for the first time had completely lost their fighting spirit. Most of the Cochin soldiers at the front were already trying to flee and save their lives, and nothing else listened.

"The thief has retreated! Brothers! Now is the time to charge, brothers! Come on! ”

The small stone ascended and shouted, and there were countless followers all of a sudden. However, a tricky arrow came straight to the center of the little stone's eyebrows, Fang La's eyes were sharp, and he kicked on the small stone's buttocks, and the little stone fell forward at once.

There was only a crisp sound of ding, and the arrow landed impartially on the helmet of the little stone.

Luckily, the material of the helmet was good, and the arrow landed on it, making a pit the size of a little finger.

Xiaoshi touched the depression in his helmet, glanced back at Fang La, nodded at him, and then grabbed the military flag from the hands of the soldiers on the side and shook it vigorously, shouting: "Rush, brothers! Don't be afraid! ”

Wang Sunsin was not a good aspirant in the northwest, and Chong Pu did not realize how superb his archery skills were during this period.

At this time, Wang Sunchen was standing beside Tang Ning, and Tang Ning pointed to a cross-toe general on a horse and said to Wang Sunchen, in less than three breaths, the man would scream miserably, and the arrow fell off the horse.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that I have made a lot of money in this business, three hundred sets of foot armor, one hundred war horses, a breeder, a Wang Shunchen, such a cost-effective deal, I can wake up with a smile in my dreams.

However, it is estimated that Chong Pu will also wake up with a smile, three hundred sets of foot armor, one hundred war horses, and sent his nephew to the most promising army in the entire Great Song Dynasty.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

In the military, the flag is also a weapon.

But this thing can't be waved by a strong man, and the average person will be bored after two or three waves of his arm.

And the little stone is born with divine power, which is just right for this thing. With a stick swept over, the momentum sank, and he directly stopped people from the waist, and if he could stand up again, he was a hero.

The characteristic of the archers of the cochins is that they are not only good at bowing, but also good at hand-to-hand combat.

Due to the terrain, most of the Cochin soldiers were recruited hunters who lived in the jungle all year round and hunted with bows and arrows.

They are agile and arrows, and the Great Song army has suffered a lot of losses on them before.

But now it's different, an incendiary bomb is thrown into the crowd, no matter how high the skills of these guys are, they can't step on the fire to fight the Song army, right?

In addition, the turf under their feet was also ignited by a fire, although the burning was not vigorous, and it could be extinguished with one foot, but the black smoke emitted made it difficult for them to breathe.

Unfortunately, the Cochin army happened to be in the downwind position, and no matter what burned up, it was always them who ate the ashes.

When Li Changjie saw it, his heart was half cold. He underestimated the power of gunpowder and chose to engage the Song army as soon as possible, which resulted in huge casualties and frustrated soldiers.

And the Song people were well-armed, and they attacked with fire while fighting hand-to-hand. Now, even if you don't want to admit it, the outcome of this battle is decided.

But fortunately, when the Song army crossed the river before, the fire arrows also caused a lot of damage to them. In general, this exchange has its own winners and losers, and it only depends on how much it is different from your expectations.

Li Changjie comforted himself like this, and then ordered the whole army to retreat.

There are 6,000 soldiers in ambush in the valley behind, which is Li Changjie's backhand. But Song Dog is not only cunning, but also cautious, just like a fox.

After chasing two steps, they stopped chasing and began to clean up the battlefield, occupying Li Changjie's original camp, searching for available supplies.

After a victory, the angel happily returned to Kaifeng to deliver the letter. Before leaving, he also said bitterly to Tang Ning that sometimes people don't know how powerful they are if they don't push themselves...... Balabala, a whole bunch.

Tang Ning laughed and heard him finish. When he left, Tang Ning put away his smile.

This battle seems to be a great victory for the Song army, but in reality?

There were not many Song soldiers who died in hand-to-hand combat last night, only more than 200 people. However, when crossing the river, there were nearly 4,000 soldiers who were killed by arrows, and those who did not fall into the river and never came up again.

For Song Jun, this was a huge loss. Four thousand casualties is acceptable, but four thousand killed is another concept.

This time, the Great Song Dynasty did not plan to destroy Jiaozhi, and only sent 50,000 people to attack Thang Long Mansion. The rest of the troops, Zhao Xu did not dispatch over, one less than 50,000 people, that is, one less, there is no such thing as replenishing the staff.

The opponent is playing at home,

And any loss of our army is irreversible. In such a situation, with the lives of 4,000 soldiers, only a foothold on the banks of the Fura River was occupied, is such an exchange appropriate? Downing fell into deep thought.

"General Tang, after this place is taken, we have three ways to go. The first is to walk through the jungle, which is a dangerous but shortcut to Hanoi, which is Thang Long.

The other way is the trade route. It's a long way, but it's safe. However, if you want to go to Thang Long Province, you have to cross the Red River.

The third way is the justice of Cochin, but this road must be heavily guarded by thieves, and if you go from here, I am afraid that you will not stop fighting along the way. ”

Half an hour later, Steward Chu ran over with a map in his hand and pointed.

Tang Ning listened for a long time, and the folding fan in his hand kept tapping on the palm of his other hand, making a snapping sound.

"Why is the jungle dangerous? Is it because of the poisonous insects of prey? Or is it something else? ”

"Beasts and poisonous insects are just one of them, and some of the villages of the Cochins have been built in the jungle. They are skilled in jungle warfare and are familiar with the terrain of the jungle. If you set up an ambush in the jungle, with the strength of our army, it may be difficult to be the enemy. ”

Steward Chu couldn't say why, but fortunately, Jianzhong did his homework. Downing asked, and he replied.

Nodding, Tang Ning said: "Then let's take the business road, does this road lead to Luocheng?" ”

"What's the deal...... It's a ......" Steward Chu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "But it's a long way to go to Luocheng, General Tang, isn't our destination Thang Long Mansion?" ”

"Thang Long Mansion is certainly going to Go, but our intentions can't be too obvious. If the Jiaozhi people see through their intentions and gather heavy troops to defend in Thang Long Mansion, what can we do?

After this battle, there were only 45,000 people left, and the terrain here was not suitable for cavalry combat, and invisibly, there was a shortage of one or two thousand people.

So we need to distract the enemy as much as possible, so that they think that we are here for the land.

When they began to deploy heavy troops to defend everywhere, we suddenly turned our guns and went straight to Thang Long Mansion and took them by surprise. This gives you a better chance of winning. ”

Steward Chu listened to the clouds and mountains and fog covers, and told him that he was good at business, and when it came to military topics, it was not his strong point.

However, seeing that Chong Jianzhong nodded slightly, Steward Chu raised his thumb and said: "General Tang is strategizing, he is really a hero among the people, a young hero."

The old man really admires, admires! ”

Just when Tang Ning modestly said that he had won the award, a small soldier suddenly broke in outside the door and said, "Report~!" The Jiaozhi military envoy asked our army to release the prisoners of war, will they see it or not? ”

"The visitor is a guest, what happened to these soldiers who are willing to get closer to the friendship of the landlord? Let him! It's really unbelievable! ”
