Chapter 488 But the Moon Array shows its might
On the banks of the Liuzhou River, countless craftsmen and soldiers are busy, and in Hanoi, large ships carry supplies. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing this busyness, Yang Zaixing said to the generals: "If the Jurchens have twice as many troops, and there are still a large number of chiseled beasts, once the war starts, the Jurchens will definitely let the chiseled beasts attack first, and the cavalry will be pressed, if they lose, those Jurchen cavalry will definitely escape, and they will not be able to achieve the goal of total annihilation, so I thought about it and decided to divide the troops!"
"Divide the troops?" Hearing Yang Zaixing's words, everyone was shocked.
"General, no, we already have few soldiers, if we divide our troops, we will be defeated by the Jurchens!"
"Yes, the Jurchens have 40,000 chiseled beasts and 20,000 cavalry this time, even if we don't divide our troops, the probability of us defeating them is extremely low, and it will be even more disadvantageous for us to divide our troops!"
These generals were suddenly shocked, although they had already begun to arrange the formation, they still felt that it was too dangerous.
Yang Zaixing glanced at these people and said: "Ben Shuai arranged a large array by this river, and consumed the enemy with strong bows and crossbows and artillery, so there is no need to worry that the Jurchens will break through here, so Ben will only need 5,000 soldiers and 800 cavalry, and the other more than 10,000 cavalry will all detour behind the Jurchens, and when the Jurchens are exhausted, they will attack from behind, so that they have no way to retreat and no way to avoid them." ”
Yang Zaixing said this, and when he saw that these people still wanted to argue, he said loudly: " General Yue gave me the responsibility to deal with it with carte blanche and according to this order, Emperor Liu Song arranged the Yueyue array with 2,000 people, defeated the Wei army of 30,000 iron cavalry, and originally used 5,000 foot soldiers, plus 100 iron-armored puppets, enough to resist these Jurchen cavalry, even if I was defeated, I could still use the boats behind me to retreat to the riverbank, and there were my Great Song warships patrolling the river, and there was no need to worry about the Jurchens attacking us along the river, let alone worrying about them casting embankments, and only with this array, can you drag the Jurchens, you can smoothly detour, and have the opportunity to completely annihilate these Jurchens and those chiseled beasts!”
Yang Zaixing's words, the generals also had a good method, and they stopped speaking at the moment, Yang Zaixing looked at these generals and said to Kou Chen: "Kou Chen, you lead you to lead 10,000 iron cavalry to hide in the mountains and forests several miles away, once the Jurchen is defeated, you must annihilate all its iron cavalry." ”
"Li Xian, you led four thousand cavalry from the upper reaches of the Liuzhou River back to the rear of the Jurchens, went straight to the Jurchen Xingcheng, and burned their logistics to the ground!"
"No!" the two looked at each other, and although they thought it was too risky, they still took the order, and that night, the two armies quietly left the camp on the riverbank and headed north.
At dawn, Yang Zaixing asked his soldiers to move around in the camp on the bank of the river, giving signs of a large army garrison, while he camped on the side of the North River.
At this time, countless craftsmen were a hundred steps away from the river, with a large number of chariots to lay down an arc-shaped moon array, the two ends of the chariot hugged the river, with the river bank as the moon string, and each chariot was firmly covered with a large shield with a height of one person, like a copper wall.
Heavy crossbows are placed on this chariot, there are a thousand heavy crossbows in the entire large array, and there are also repeating crossbows that can be fired quickly next to the heavy crossbows, and there are many archers on the river bank in the large array, and the big boats on the river are also equipped with heavy crossbows.
In addition to these equipment, there were also six artillery pieces hidden in the large array, and at the front of the large array, there were also a hundred iron-armored puppets several feet tall and holding huge iron shields.
Seeing this large array, all the soldiers were full of confidence in their hearts and full of confidence in the upcoming war.
After Yang Zaixing swept it, he also laughed and said: "If the Jurchens don't come to attack, I have no choice, but when their army comes to rescue Suizhong City, they will definitely attack with all their might, so I will let them hate here!"
When Yang Zaixing laughed, the dust in the distance was flying, and 30,000 Jurchen iron horses galloped over, and with them galloped more than 40,000 tall chisel teeth, the earth was trembling, and the earth was shaking, revealing a terrifying aura and power.
Wanyan Hanchang looked at the big array on the bank of the river, and couldn't help laughing: "Is there no one in the Song people? It is really ridiculous to cross the river and set up a formation in vain to resist us! Let the chisel attack and smash the big array for me!"
Wanyan Hanchang's words, 10,000 chiseled teeth roared and rushed towards the moon array, full of 10,000 people, it was all over the sky, these tall and fierce chisel teeth were even more ferocious, giving people a sense of horror, if it weren't for the well-trained soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, when they saw these fierce beasts, they would have fled without a trace.
When these chisel teeth approached hundreds of meters, the Ling Qi in Yang Zaixing's hand waved violently, and the soldiers who were ready to attack smashed the bowstring of the heavy crossbow with a heavy hammer, and suddenly thousands of heavy crossbows were thrown away, and one by one the crossbow guns directly nailed the fierce beasts that hit the front, but these chisel teeth have rough skin and thick flesh, and a crossbow gun can only penetrate one chisel tooth, otherwise this kind of intensive attack, a crossbow gun can nail four or five people.
With the accumulation of ballista guns, thousands of chisel teeth were directly nailed, and when the crossbow gun was wound, the chisel teeth kept approaching, and even the crossbows and archers immediately struck, and once again accumulated a large number of chisel teeth.
With the continuous throwing of crossbow guns and crossbow arrows, these fierce chisels were also constantly shot, but the vitality of these chisels was strong, and some of the chisels were full of crossbow arrows and still rushed to the front, and the huge stick in his hand smashed on the shield in front of the chariot, and was killed by the ironclad puppet guarding in front.
Seeing the failure of this charge, Wanyan Hanchang yelled at the deputy general beside him: "Give these chiseled shields and let them impact, and the others will go upstream and downstream of the river to investigate and find a shallow place to cross the river!"
The battle intent on Wanyan Hanchang's face turned cold, and a person dressed as a scribe said to Wanyan Hanchang: "King, the formation arranged by the Song people on the opposite side seems to be a moon formation, and Emperor Liu Song killed 30,000 iron horsemen with this formation, we can't fight so hard!"
"Hmph, doesn't this king know? It's just that this king wants to go to the rescue of Suizhong, and he wants to kill these Song dogs, otherwise it will be used to entangle here, let the chisel teeth hold the shield and impact, and the heavy armored cavalry will then attack!"
When Yan Hanchang roared, 10,000 chisel teeth rushed away with a one-person-high shield in their hands, but although these shields were large, they could not cover the body of the chisel tooth.
"Ding, ding!"
When the ballista was thrown, it was nailed to the shield of the chisel, and the huge impact force knocked the chisel down, but after these fierce beasts shook their heads, they continued to come forward and impact, and some of the chisels were shot in the head by the archers, but the thick skin on the chiseltooth only caused them some damage, but it was not life-threatening.
Faced with this situation, Yang Zaixing's face was stunned and shouted: "With artillery and gunpowder!"
With Yang Zaixing's roar, the six artillery bombardments erupted, and the iron bullet was blasted out, smashing the iron shield in the hand of a chisel tooth, and the chisel tooth was also directly bombarded.
"Boom!" A piece of gunpowder was shot out by a crossbow gun, exploding in the middle of the chisel teeth, and blowing these fierce beasts apart, this scene made Yang Zaixing and the others breathe a sigh of relief. (To be continued.) )
