When the Song Army's first cannon began to test-fire, Wan Yanshe immediately knew something was wrong!
Because the cannon throws all rocks!
It's all rocks, no dirt at all!
Although the tip cannon is known as a "stone-shooting machine", stones suitable for shooting by the tip cannon are not readily available. Therefore, under normal circumstances, tip artillery uses both stone bullets and mud bullets, and mud bombs are mainly used.
But the battlefield Wan Yanshe also chose for himself was really good. It was right by the Mianman Water. The beach of the Mianman Water was full of pebbles, and you could easily pick up a lot of them. Moreover, these stones are not big, so there is no need to break them open before using them. You can put a bag of them in a straw bag and throw them out with a cannon. Straw bales and cattail bags were not reliable and would disintegrate in the air, so the stones scattered down, just like stones raining from the sky, smashing into large pieces!
This is a high-altitude parabola! Or a stone smaller than a fist... would it still be good if it hits someone? Not to mention hitting his head - he would definitely have died on the spot! Even if it hits the arms, shoulders, legs and feet, it will still be a serious injury, and any armor will be useless.
Of course, the cannon is not without defense. The cannon is a deflection weapon, so it must abide by the parabola law - this is a scientific truth and cannot be violated. Therefore, there is a blind spot for shooting cannons. As long as a wall of sheep and horses four to five feet high and four to five feet thick is built behind the fence of the camp, the defenders can hide behind to avoid the cannons.
Moreover, this earthen wall can still be used by people when the enemy attacks the camp. It is so comfortable for people to stand on it and shoot arrows from a high position or stab people through the fence with spears!
However, the construction of the camp that Shi Yema is currently guarding is too sloppy, and there is no sheep and horse wall behind the fence! Zhao Kai was so anxious to save Yue Fei that he didn't give the Jin soldiers time to build a wall, and forced Han Shizhong to organize an attack.
So now only a few people such as She Yema and Yelu Yujian have places to hide, and most of the Jin soldiers can only hold up their shields for some psychological comfort...
Wanyan She also immediately knew that this was not an option, and quickly mobilized the most elite yellow-headed soldiers to risk their lives to fight back!
This yellow-headed warrior is amazing. He is said to be a Jurchen, but he is actually a European race with blond hair and white skin! I don’t know where it came from, but it ended up somewhere among the white mountains and black waters. What's even more interesting is that their surname is Wanyan - it is said that the ancestor of the Wanyan family is the "strongest son-in-law". When he was in his sixties, he became the leader of the Wanyan tribe in Hushui by being a son-in-law. , and then one of his brothers somehow married into a white tribe and brought the Wanyan surname with him. This tribe was later subjugated by the Khitans and became mature Jurchens. They moved to the Hesu Hall in the Liaodong Peninsula and were called the Jurchens in the Hesu Hall. Because many of them still retained their white skin and yellow hair, they were also called Huangtou. Jurchen.
These yellow-headed Jurchens not only look strange and have mysterious origins, but they are also very big. Soon after Wanyan Aguda rose to prominence, he recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan, becoming a gold medal fighter in the Kingdom of Jin. However, they rarely serve as cavalry, but as heavy armored infantry. They are known as the hard army and are often used as pioneers.
Shi Yema also has a few yellow-headed Muke on hand. Now they are holding heavy wooden poles, wearing two layers of heavy armor, carrying long spears, large axes and maces, and they rush out of the camp with strange screams. .
But... Han Shizhong has already set up the Eight Bull Crossbow outside the golden thief's camp!
This is why the Jin people have no experience in defending cities and strongholds! They are so awesome, and they have always beaten their enemies since their rise. Who has nothing to think about defense? Therefore, the camp they built was to open a gate in one direction, which was spacious and grand, making it easy for the cavalry to enter and exit.
They would never think of opening many small gates on the camp fence or wall to facilitate the entry and exit of small groups of troops, nor would they reserve enough passages when digging trenches, let alone use a gate wall to guard the camp. With the gate blocked or not, Zhao Kai's soldiers could see the gold thieves forming a team inside and preparing to attack from afar.
So when these unlucky yellow-headed warriors rush out of the camp gate, the time has come for them to "kill themselves in droves"!
However, the head of the Yellow-headed Hard Army was much harder than that of the Khitans. Thirty or forty people were skewered by 20 eight-oxen crossbows. They still did not know how to escape. They just dispersed the formation and continued to gallop forward.
Wearing double layers of heavy armor and being able to run so fast, their physical strength is indeed amazing!
But Han Shizhong also prepared 2,000 divine arm archers for them! The 1,500 divine arm archers, when the Yellow-Headed Hard Army was reorganizing, carried out some movements from behind the defense line composed of the gango board and the big rafters, and they all gathered outside the gate of the Golden Thief Camp.
Now he relied on the gong board and the big rafters to engage in a "three-stage attack". The arrows rained down like rain, hard and accurate. Even if he was wearing two layers of heavy armor, it was difficult to resist. However, those hard-line soldiers were indeed brave. They raised their shields to protect critical areas such as their heads, faces, abdomen and chest, and then continued to rush into the formation risking their lives! Although from time to time someone was shot through the thigh or arm by a wooden feather arrow, and they let out bursts of angry screams. However, most of the yellow-headed troops were still quickly approaching the Song Army's defense line.
Seeing that this group of yellow-headed hard-line soldiers was about to attack the defense line composed of Gange boards and large pillars, the dozen or so GanGe boards and large pillars on both sides of the Song army's defense line directly opposite the Jinbing camp suddenly suddenly It was moved away, leaving two gaps several feet wide.
Then I saw two groups of cavalry, led by Huang Wuji and Dong Jingang respectively, galloping out of the gap. Then they turned around and ran along the defense line composed of gango boards and wooden posts, rushing towards the group of yellow soldiers. The head girl is really flanking!
At this time, the yellow-headed soldiers could no longer harden their heads... They had broken up and couldn't stop the armored cavalry from flying forward. Even if their martial arts were high, it seemed that at this time He can only be beaten and wait to die.
However, there were still dozens of yellow-headed warriors who were extremely brave. When they saw the cavalry charging towards them, they did not dodge and run away. Instead, they raised their spears and threw them with all their strength. They actually hit seven or eight Han knights. The spear penetrated their chests, and they were already dead before they could even scream!
But the dead warriors did not fall off their horses, but continued forward on their backs... It turned out that their bodies were tied to the saddles with ropes!
The remaining knights quickly avenged their dead comrades by clashing their carbines with their horses' bodies.
Being "struck", hit by a hail of arrows, and beaten to pieces by the opponent's cavalry, the hard-line army couldn't be any tougher! The casualties exceeded 30%, and the remaining people no longer had the courage to continue to die, so they had to drag their spears and run away. It was so fast, much faster than when I pounced on him. The divine arm archers of the Song Army didn't even have time to pick up their spears and move away the wooden posts and fighting boards blocking the way. They had already ran back to their base camp. Only the crossbow gun fired by the Baniu Crossbow could catch up with them, and "shot seven or eight strings"...
"Okay, okay!" Zhao Kai, who was watching the battle from a high place, had already shouted, "Good minister, you fought well! The golden thief lost another battle... The casualties were no less than 200, plus the previous ones. In two battles, we have killed more than a thousand of them, right? If we continue to fight like this, how many days will Wanyan Zonghan's army of 100,000 be consumed?"
Yes, more than a thousand people died in one day, and an army of 100,000 people would take up to three months... Zhao Kai's military skills have improved again, and he actually uses multiplication!
In the Jinbing camp, Wanyan Sheye immediately saw that his hard troops were defeated with heavy losses, and his face turned black with anger. I saw him gritting his teeth, as if he was going to bite someone, and then heard him spit out a few rarely used Jurchen words: "Send the order...retreat!"
