The poorly equipped troops of the Wu Dynasty could not even make waves in front of the fully armed Yun Family Army.
Using only bows and crossbows, the Yun family's army defeated the 20,000 troops surrendered by the Wu Dynasty.
The kind that throws away their weapons and runs away with all their might, even the Jurchens cannot stop them.
Where did this bunch of bastards come from? They are so damn cruel.
More ruthless than the Jurchens, showing no mercy at all, even killing us Wu Dynasty people!
Seeing the Yun Family Army's attack power, even Wu Shu frowned.
Why do these Wu Dynasty people have so many crossbows? It seems that the Wu Dynasty surrender army can't rush through, and they have to go up by themselves.
"Send the order, use the iron pagoda to break open the enemy's formation, and let the kidnapper horses outflank it from both sides. I will completely annihilate this Wu Dynasty army!"
"Your order!"
The pagoda is also called the pagoda, which means pagoda, and the iron pagoda refers to the heavy cavalry that looks like an iron pagoda.
The Jurchens' heavily armored cavalry not only wore heavy armor, but also wore iron armor on their horses. It was difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to break through the defenses.
In order to increase the impact, the Jurchens also linked their heavy cavalry together, in groups of three or five, called chain horses. Once they charged, almost no army could stop them!
The Jurchens used this move to make the Khitans run wild and lose their temper.
Later, every time the Tiefu Tu came out, the Khitan army was defeated and couldn't fight at all!
However, Iron Buddha also has a weakness, that is, its mobility is too poor.
Every time you go into battle, you have to wait before charging before putting on armor. Once you put on armor for too long, you will lose your combat effectiveness due to excessive physical exertion.
When charging, a few rounds will not suffice, and must be coordinated with other units.
Then, the Jurchen's kidnapping horse appeared.
The so-called kidnapper horse is a light cavalry.
After the iron pagoda broke through the opponent's military formation, the light cavalry swarmed forward. Some outflanked from both sides, and some covered up from behind. They could quickly defeat the enemy!
This tactic of heavy cavalry combined with light cavalry is the only way for the Jurchens to dominate the world!
However, since moving south, the Jurchens have rarely used this tactic.
There is no other reason than that the people of the Wu Dynasty were too good.
The Jurchens did not need to take action at all. Guo Yaoshi's surrendered army could defeat the Wu Dynasty army.
Today, when he met the Yun Family Army, Wu Shu used his trump card for the first time since he went south.
There is no way, the long-range attack power of the Yun family army is too strong. Without heavy cavalry, it will be difficult to break through in a short time.
Upon receiving the order, the Jurchens' Iron Buddha began to put on armor.
Every iron pagoda is served by two servants.
They took off the heavy armor from the packhorse next to them and dressed Master Futu neatly together.
Blah blah blah...
With the sound of armor leaves, rows of iron pagodas began to form a team, preparing to charge.
"hiss……"
Li Xing took a breath, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"The commander is indeed far-sighted, the Jurchens really have such a thing!"
Yun Chao had heard of the Jurchens' tactics in his previous life, and also knew how the Song army responded later.
To deal with the serial horses, the dead men were asked to roll in front of the Jurchens' horses and cut off the legs of the iron pagoda's horses.
The iron pagoda consists of several war horses connected together. As long as one horse's leg is cut off, a group of iron pagodas will cease to function.
However, Yun Chao had no intention of letting his men do this.
Sending dead soldiers to cut off the horse's legs does not always succeed. The Jurchens are not stupid, and they cannot just watch the enemy roll over and cut off their own horse's legs.
Even if it succeeds, there is no return.
Yun Jiajun is Yun Chao's darling, and Yun Chao is not willing to let them die.
Others need to use human lives to deal with Tiefu Tu, but it does not mean that Yun Chao should also learn from it.
After traveling through time for so long, Yun Chao is as busy as his third grandson every day. He doesn't even have time to hang out with girls, just to deal with these fancy things.
To other people, the Iron Buddha Temple may be a deadly King of Hell, a terrifying existence that changes their expressions upon hearing it.
However, in Yunchao's view, it is synonymous with backwardness and will eventually be swept into the garbage heap of history.
Li Xing rubbed his hands excitedly.
Before coming, Brother Chao had already explained how to deal with the Jurchen Iron Buddha, and he couldn't let him off the hook.
The Yun Family Army now has a total of fifteen divisions. Brother Chao can let his division face off against the Jurchens, which shows how much he values himself.
If I suffer a loss at the hands of the Jurchens, let alone being embarrassed, how can I have the nerve to go back and see Brother Chao!
"Come here, push up the secret weapon prepared for us by Brother Chao...the Marshal!"
Wheel wheel wheel wheel...
Not long after, artillery carts were pushed to the front of the formation one after another.
Artillery has been used in actual combat in the navy for a long time, but it is the first time it has appeared in the army.
In order to increase the mobility of the artillery, Yun Chao personally designed an artillery carriage that could be pulled by mules and horses.
When the artillery is fired, the horses and mules that pull the cart are removed and the artillery cart is nailed to the ground. It becomes a simple fort directly. There is no need to remove the artillery from the cart, which makes it very convenient to move.
Of course, this kind of artillery cannot be very powerful, and it is roughly equivalent to the six-pounder and three-pounder guns of later generations.
However, in today's era, not to mention the six-pounder and three-pounder cannons, the one-pounder cannon is also a killer weapon that no one has ever seen before!
Tap tap tap...
The iron pagoda started to operate.
At first, the iron pagoda was very slow.
As time went by, the iron pagoda was getting faster and faster, and it rushed up with a rumble!
The Iron Pagoda of the Jurchens is really not what it is. The power of thousands of heavily armored cavalry charging forward is enough to stop couples from having a night out.
The overwhelming momentum made even the Yun Family Army's war horses feel uneasy and kept digging at the ground with their hooves.
"preparation……"
Facing the mountains of iron pagoda, the artillery regiment commander's voice became hoarse.
This is the first artillery battle between the Yun Army and the Army. If he messes up, even committing suicide and apologizing will not be able to make up for his sins!
"Come, come closer, come closer..."
The artillery regiment commander silently calculated the distance.
Commander Li repeatedly explained that the timing of firing must be accurate. The opponent is a heavily armored cavalry. If it is far away, it will not be hard to hit, but if it is close, it may not be able to defend.
Finally, before the artillery regiment leader got soaked, the Jurchens' iron pagoda stepped on the red line of one hundred steps.
The ancients used each step of their left and right feet once as a step, and the distance of one step was about one and a half meters.
One hundred steps is about one hundred and fifty meters.
Such a short distance has already entered the effective range of the artillery, but the artillery regiment commander still did not give the order to fire!
Ninety steps...
Eighty steps...
Seventy steps...
Sixty steps...
Fifty steps...
"fire!"
Fifty steps, that is, seventy or eighty meters, the scalps of many Yun Family Army recruits were numb, and the artillery regiment commander gave the order to fire.
After hearing the regimental commander's order, the artillerymen of the Yun Family Army did not dare to neglect. The torches they had prepared in their hands immediately poked the fuses one by one at the hungry and thirsty people!
