When it comes time for the decisive battle with the Jurchen East Route Army, some of the Yun Family Army's secret weapons no longer need to be hidden.
After defeating this Jurchen army, the Yun family army was almost invincible in the vast North China Plain.
Therefore, Li Xing directly displayed the artillery, preparing to show the Jurchens what true civilization was.
The distance between the two sides was 800 steps, which was about 1,200 meters, when the Yun Army's artillery opened fire.
Under normal circumstances, the effective range of the three-bow bed crossbow is about one thousand meters.
Li Xing was not prepared to engage in a shootout with the Jurchens, so he made a preemptive strike.
The artillery of the Yun Family Army was made of steel. It was stronger than iron cannons and copper cannons, loaded with more gunpowder, and had a longer range.
However, with a range of more than one thousand meters, the accuracy is really not flattering.
After all, it is a smoothbore cannon, and its accuracy cannot be compared with that of a rifled cannon.
Boom boom boom boom...
In the first round of shelling, only one Eight Ox Crossbow of the Jurchens was destroyed.
Out of fifty artillery pieces, only one shot hit. The hit rate was impressive!
However, it was this appallingly low hit rate that scared the Jurchens out of their wits.
How have the savages living in the old forest seen this? Thunder on a dry day, what kind of magic is this?
The people of the Wu Dynasty were superstitious enough, but the Jurchens were even more backward and unscrupulous in their superstition.
Immediately, most of the Jurchens completely lost their will to fight.
Fighting against an army that can use spells, and still being beaten, it seems that I can't go home!
In a cold weapon war, morale is particularly important.
Once his momentum was exhausted, he couldn't even lift a knife or a gun, but he went up to fight with a hammer.
The Yun family army didn't care what state the Jurchens were in. After one round of test artillery, there would soon be a second round of salvo fire.
Boom boom boom boom...
This time it was much better. The Jurchens were frightened by the first round of shelling. The ballista stopped in place and did not move forward.
Shooting at fixed targets, the accuracy of the artillery suddenly increased. A total of seven of the fifty artillery pieces hit the target!
Two of the Eight Ox Crossbows received double care.
The five eight-oxen crossbows shattered into pieces in front of the Jurchens' eyes, killing dozens of Jurchen soldiers around them.
Buzz!
The Jurchens who controlled the Eight Ox Crossbow finally woke up from the previous shock. They all cried for their fathers and mothers, turned around and ran away!
It was impossible to escape by running. The Jurchens' war supervisors were not vegetarians. There was a burst of bow bang, and a large number of them were shot down immediately.
"Charge, charge over, don't stop, the enemy's magic is very slow, as long as you charge over, there will be nothing they can do!"
Zong Wang is worthy of being the marshal of the East Route Army, and his observation skills are not very strong. The Yun Family Army only fired two rounds of artillery before he saw some clues.
If you rush forward, you may die, if you retreat you will die immediately. The Jurchen soldiers certainly know how to choose.
The Jurchens had an army of 50,000, and it was impossible to charge them all at once. The front army had 10,000. After receiving the order, they roared and charged towards the Yun family army like wild beasts out of their cages!
Boom boom boom boom...
Another round of shelling.
This time seven Eight Ox Crossbows were hit.
The Jurchens launched a total of more than fifty eight-oxen crossbows and bombarded them for three rounds, and half of them were immediately disabled.
When the Jurchens were halfway through the charge, the Yun Army fired another round of artillery.
At a distance of five to six hundred meters, the artillery's hit rate increased significantly. More than twenty shells hit the target, opening alleys of flesh and blood!
They are worthy of being a fierce man who can defeat the Khitans. With such heavy losses, the Jurchen soldiers still did not collapse.
Even though he was trembling with fear, he still howled and charged with all his strength!
Close.
Closer.
Zong Wang was so nervous that his clothes were soaked through.
Only a hundred meters are left.
At such a close distance, the opponent can at most cast another evil spell, and at worst, hundreds more warriors will be lost. As long as they can rush over, victory will eventually belong to the heroic Jurchens!
Under Zong Wang's expectant gaze, the artillery in front of the Yun family's formation fired the last round. Accompanied by a rumbling sound of artillery, Zong Wang's eyes almost popped out of his sockets!
The dozens of flesh-and-blood alleys that were imagined did not appear, but were replaced by even greater losses.
The Jurchen warriors who rushed in the front row were all swept down.
Fifty guns, all firing grapeshot.
Each shot is composed of dozens of lead pellets the size of grapes. Even if every five lead pellets kill one Jurchen, two to three thousand small lead pellets will cause at least more than 500 casualties to the Jurchens!
Once you are shot, there is almost no chance of survival.
Hit the arm and break the arm.
Hit the thigh and the thigh will break.
If hit on the torso, it will be even more fatal. Even if you can't die temporarily, the infection after the war can be fatal!
In a war in the age of cold weapons, half of the casualties would be lost in one strike, which is simply unimaginable!
Not only the Jurchens who were charging, but also the Jurchens watching from behind were numb.
With such power, this battle is impossible to fight!
The charging Jurchen stopped.
The supervising team at the rear was terrifying, and the demonic force on the opposite side was even more terrifying. No one wanted to die inexplicably.
Especially when seeing the death of their companions, no one can remain calm.
Broken limbs and arms were everywhere, and the pulpy internal organs were all over the place. It was impossible to win even if you rushed over!
That guy Zong Wang is awesome, let him bring his direct descendants with him, we can't get away with him!
Like the ebbing tide, with a crash, the charging Jurchens made a 180-degree turn, stuck out their buttocks and jumped up hard. No one was afraid of running slower than the other!
Boom!
Tens of breaths later, there was another burst of cannon fire, and hundreds more Jurchens fell in a pool of blood.
The Jurchens were completely frightened, and even the supervising team following them began to flee!
Li Xing was very satisfied with the situation of the battle, and immediately issued an order to maintain the formation, advance quickly, and defeat the Jurchens' Chinese army formation!
Li Xing was satisfied, but Zong Wang opposite was dumbfounded.
From which rock crack did these guys pop out? Why didn't they encounter them when they went south?
"Second Prince, why don't you let the Iron Buddha go up?"
Snapped!
Before a Jurchen general finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the face.
Zong Wang was furious: "Asshole, don't even look at what's going on. Can Tiefutu block the opponent's magic?"
Zong Wang is indeed capable. He analyzes the battle situation very thoroughly, has a very sharp mind and reacts quickly. Even in the face of a disastrous defeat, he did not lose his composure at all.
Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time and met Yun Chao, a guy whose vision transcended this era for thousands of years.
Moreover, this idiot is still a nationalist and has no intention of bargaining with the barbarians.
Yun Chao often said that only dead barbarians are good barbarians.
In Yun Chao's mind, only the Chinese regime that does not make peace with each other, does not pay indemnity, does not cede territory, and does not pay tribute, the emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country, can he be qualified to become the true co-owner of China!
