Some people say that after having machine guns, the grassland tribes became good at singing and dancing.
Others say that a sufficient number of muskets can also achieve this effect.
The experienced Li Yunze concluded that both of these statements are correct after many actual combat experiences.
In actual combat, weapons that use gunpowder as kinetic energy have extremely terrifying lethality against an army like the Jin Bing, which is mainly heavily armored.
During the Tang Dynasty, science and technology developed significantly, and extremely strong armor stomachs such as Mingguang Armor appeared.
The troubled times of the Five Dynasties that followed stimulated the further development of the military-industrial system, and heavy armored regiments, mainly Zhajia, emerged.
The Jin people are not a nomadic tribe in the traditional sense. They are actually fishers and hunters.
Although there were many cavalry, they were not the traditional nomadic tribes. Instead, they followed the route of heavy armor assault and heavy arrow shooting.
】
Facing such a soldier whose whole body is covered with thick armor and stomach, the way to deal with it is either to have a heroic man like Master Lu Zhishenlu, holding a heavy hammer, axe, mace and other heavy weapons, to directly smash him to death with great force.
But how many people can be as strong as Lu Zhishen?
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for everyone to break through the defense, so they have to swarm forward and knock the armored soldiers to the ground. Then they can step forward and cut off the limbs, then pry open the visor and stab them with a sharp blade.
It's hard to do that, really hard.
Li Yunze did not want the soldiers of the Song Army to compete with the Jin people for consumption, even if his human resources were inexhaustible compared to the Jin people.
So he chose the simplest way to solve the Jin people's combat advantage.
Assemble a group of muskets and select a group of manpower. More than half a month of training is enough.
After all, infantrymen in the firearms era have always just fired one gun.
Li Yunze has never used this army, whether it was to defeat the four major bandits or to destroy Xixia and capture Yanyun. It was specially used to deal with the Jinren Heavy Armor Group.
Now, as the Jin people set up the battlefield at the Bubu Dagang, the musketeers finally came to the place where they could be used.
Hubu Dagang here is actually Wuchang, the Wuchang where we often eat Wuchang rice.
The land here is all black, with thousands of miles of fertile wilderness and flat plains, which is very suitable for large-scale cavalry operations.
A few years ago, Yelu Yanxi, the Lord of the Liao Dynasty, had assembled the main force and claimed that an army of 700,000 was attacking the Jin people. The decisive battle with the tens of thousands of Jin troops fought by A Gu took place here.
The result of the battle is already known. The Jin army fought a famous example in history of defeating the larger with less, defeating the main force of the Liao army, and then swept across the Liao country like a rolling flag.
The root cause of the Jin army's victory was that Wanyan Loushi and other generals led a heavy armored group to repeatedly attack the Liao army's formation, causing it to collapse and then roll back the bead curtain to pursue and win a complete victory.
Now here they are, ready to repeat that success story.
As Song troops gradually began to gather, Wanyan Loushi, who had been observing carefully, showed a rare smile.
The Song army was well-trained, well-equipped, and extremely numerous.
However, they lacked cavalry and mainly relied on cavalry.
Wanyan Loushi looked down upon those light cavalry at all, they were just small characters who could be defeated with a single charge.
Nianhan who accompanied him immediately asked, "Why is the Lou family laughing when the Song army is so numerous?"
"Marshal, the more Song troops there are, the better." Wanyan Loushi was very confident. "The greater the number, the larger the formation will be, and the more flaws will naturally be exposed."
No matter how many people you have, you can't have all your troops be soldiers.
Even if they are all soldiers, they cannot all be elites who are well-trained and equipped with anti-horse rifles.
As long as a flaw is found, they will inevitably be overwhelmed by repeated attacks, and then they will drive the defeated troops to attack their own military formation.
In order to win this battle, the Jin people also gathered all the soldiers and horses they could mobilize here. The scale was so huge that it was already incomparable to the Battle of Guarding Dagang.
When the main forces on both sides have been assembled, the decisive battle will naturally break out.
Li Yunze boarded the viewing platform, sat on the horse and watched quietly the two huge legions in the wilderness, almost stretching as far as the eye could see.
As the tribe that once again interrupted the inheritance of civilization in Middle-earth in history, Li Yunze gave them enough respect.
Just behind the viewing platform, the huge thing covered with heavy felt cloth was a back-up arrangement left by Li Yunze.
Once there is an unbearable accident, Li Yunze will end up personally.
"You don't have any shame, just count it as a six."
The Wanyan people on the opposite side also looked at each other in confusion at this time.
Song Jun had been mentally prepared in advance, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.
As far as the eye can see, countless Song troops are all wearing armor and stomach!
It is understandable that a regular soldier has a stomach, after all, he is a regular soldier.
But even the auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands were wearing Jiawei, which Wanyan couldn't understand.
"The Song Dynasty is actually so rich?!"
Equipping so many people with enough armor stomachs is a huge expense.
The nail stomach is not a permanent object. Humid air, rain or other reasons will cause constant wear and tear of the nail stomach.
In this era where production relies on manual work and metal output is extremely low, this is a reflection of national strength.
The wealth of the Song army shocked the Wanyans, and at the same time aroused their desire to plunder.
Wu Qimai, who already had a white beard, shouted loudly, "When we win, it will all be ours!"
The Wanyan men shouted in response, mobilizing their troops and preparing for war.
Wanyan Lou of the Ten Thousand Households in Huanglong Mansion led his soldiers and rode around the battlefield, carefully looking for the weakness of the Song army.
After running back and forth across the battlefield, when he returned to his own military formation, his eldest son Wanyan Huonv, who was following him, couldn't help but said, "Father, the Song army's left formation is sparse..."
Wanyan Loushi, who was changing the horses, responded without looking back, "That's for us to see on purpose."
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and looked at the Song Army formation opposite. "The King of Wei is capable of properly regulating such a huge military formation. Since he has real ability, how can he leave such an obvious flaw?"
The living girl suddenly nodded, "I see, then let's go attack the right wing..."
Looking at his eldest son, Lou Shi shook his head helplessly, "I have already said that the opponent is capable. The flaws on the left wing are so obvious. It is obvious that they are playing a trick to let us attack the right wing." .In fact, their left and right sides are the same, they all have
Elite. "
The living girl scratched her head and said again, "Then go attack the Chinese army?"
Lou Shi shook his head with a smile and rode forward, "When facing a complex situation, just use the simplest thinking to attack. Let's charge to the left."
The living girl hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her father's leg. "Father, let me go first."
Lou Shi looked at his eldest son carefully, and after a moment he nodded slowly, "With you five Meng'an, don't worry about anything and just dig in. I will follow behind with the rest of the people and rush until the hole is penetrated."
The overjoyed live girl nodded vigorously and hurriedly got up to dispatch troops.
After Lou Shi made the decision, other Jin soldiers also began to launch attacks to contain the Song army and create opportunities for the living girls.
As the Jin army began to launch an offensive, the Song and Jin scouts who had been entangled with each other in front of the two armies ran away one after another. No one dared to stay in the middle and wait for death.
Before Huonv launched the attack, Bohai Wanhu Gao Buye led his own Wanhu to attack the left wing as a preliminary test.
As expected, behind the seemingly sparse array of soldiers, there was a dense cluster of crossbowmen. The dense crossbows flying all over the sky caused huge losses to the Ganbuye Department.
Gao Buye, who had no choice but to carry on, received the order from his troops to retreat. He hurriedly got out of the way and watched as the strongest member of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Loushi's troops, marched straight towards Song Dynasty. Go to the army's military formation.
The few meng'an brought by Wanyan Huonv are all armored cavalry.
The men and horses held up their shields, and they continued to accelerate and charge directly into the formation with unparalleled bravery.
Even if the Song Army's Divine Arm Bow can penetrate heavy armor, they will be approached in two rounds at most, and then they will be massacred.
However, the Song army did not fire arrows this time. Even the soldiers in the front row quickly retreated, revealing the strange soldiers and horses densely arranged behind them.
It was strange because these Song soldiers were only wearing leather armor, and they were holding sticks in their hands. I had never seen them before.
While Wanyan Huonu was still confused, a continuous stream of white smoke appeared from the opposite side, followed by a thunderous roar.
"What..." Before the living girl could figure out what was going on, she felt as if her chest was suddenly hit by a heavy hammer, and she was knocked straight off the horse and flew up.
It fell to the ground and was trampled by countless pairs of horse hooves.
Deafening thunderbolts rang out on the battlefield. The Song Army's musketeers, who used three-stage shooting, continued to output firepower. The dense barrage formed an invisible wall, crushing the golden soldiers who rushed over without fear of death. Knocked down in pieces.
Jin soldiers are good at using armor-piercing heavy arrows, but they are no match for muskets in terms of range.
As for the armor of men and horses that they were so proud of, it was not much stronger than cardboard in the face of muskets and lead bullets.
Some golden soldiers who were not afraid of death or who were lucky enough to rush through the fire net drew their bows and arrows when they approached, but they fell over before entering the shooting range.
The Song army actually laid a large number of horse traps in front of the position.
The five soldiers led by the living girl suffered heavy casualties, and the rest of them collapsed.
Lou Shi was not moved at all when he learned that his eldest son was killed in the battle. After gathering his troops, he went directly to find the king and several princes.
"The people of the Song Dynasty used a new weapon, which has a very long range, far beyond the divine arm bow. And it is so powerful that even our soldiers wearing three layers of armor cannot bear it." Lou Shi saw the king and said bluntly, "If this battle is If we can’t win, there will be no room for Daikin to turn around.”
The battlefield advantages of the Jin people were their fast horses, thick armor and heavy arrows, but these advantages were useless and completely suppressed in the face of the Song people's new weapons.
Wanyan all felt the crisis.
"Oliyan." Wu Qimai asked directly, "Just tell me what to do."
"Apply pressure from both wings, send people up to drag them down to death." Lou Shi didn't waste any time and directly stated his plan, "We will gather our elites and attack their central army regardless of losses."
Having said this, Lou Shi raised his sword and pointed at the large banner on Li Yunze's viewing platform in the distance. "Behead the Song Dynasty King Wei, and you will win this battle. Or you can force him to retreat, and you can win this battle. This is the only chance." .”
If the Song army waits until all the Song army is equipped with such terrifying new weapons, their Jin country will have no chance.
Wanyan and others quickly discussed and finally agreed to Lou Shi's suggestion.
After some adjustments, the Bohai people, the Liao Han'er, the surrendered Khitan people, and those miscellaneous soldiers who could not tell where they were from, all under the supervision of the war team, desperately attacked the two wings of the Song army without seeking a breakthrough. Just want to contain the Song army.
On the middle side, Lou Shi took the lead, followed by Wanyan, fearing nothing but life and death to attack the Song army. The target was their King Wei!
Wanyan Loushi, who was determined to die, personally led the team to take the lead.
Li Yunze, who saw this scene on the viewing platform, immediately laughed out loud, "Make way, separate and attack from both sides."
After saying this, he gestured to the cuties who had filled the boxes with the words 'This is the enemy' written on them, "Put all these gifts on the road. I want to see the goddess scatter the flowers!"
