Luoluo will work hard to code the words and make them up as soon as possible to give the leader a big bonus!
...
How can this be? How could these 16 tubes knock down so many people at once?
Wanyan Xianbao, who was watching the formation from behind, was dumbfounded! With his mouth wide open, he couldn't even scream out.
Those tubes were not that powerful when they defeated Yan Zonggou's Han'er army just now... Wanyan Xiebao observed carefully. While watching the tubes spitting fire, he was counting on his fingers. At that time, those cannons fired a total of ten rounds, and although the Han'er Army was beaten very badly and almost collapsed, the number of casualties seemed to be okay. The black projectiles fired from those big tubes were generally accurate, and many of them hit high, so the number of Han'er soldiers killed and wounded was at most three to four hundred.
If the casualties really exceed a thousand, Kong Yanzhou and Liu Lin are still capable, and no matter how ferocious the Jurchen soldiers supervising the battle behind them are, those Han soldiers will not be able to survive now.
But when those barrels hit the Jurchen cavalry, they were more than ten times more powerful! With just one volley, more than half of the Jurchen cavalry who rushed in front of them were knocked down!
In just one round of "smoke spraying", as many as three to four hundred people were "squirted to death"! Not only were the people lying down, but one or two hundred war horses were also knocked down! As a result, the area dozens of steps directly in front of the 16 "tubes" was full of dead people and horses. It looked like a battlefield where ten and eight battles were fought back and forth. Who could believe it... Is that just the damage caused by 16 tubes in an instant?
If Wanyan Xiebao looked closer, he would definitely find that all the dead people and dead horses died in miserable ways, with blood holes in their bodies that could fit a fist into... and he didn't know what they were punched out by. of? Anyway, no matter what kind of armor they were wearing, they were all vulnerable, almost like paper.
Some of the people who were not dead were even worse. They were rolling in a pool of blood and wailing. It hurt to hear it!
A little further away, there were still many Jurchen cavalry who had escaped. There were also many dead people and horses lying around them, but they were lucky and were still alive for the time being.
These people who were still alive for the time being were all, like Wanyan Xiebao, frightened by the damage caused by the volley of 16 "barrels" in front of them, so much so that they subconsciously stopped their horses. Hundreds of Jurchen cavalry stood stupidly in the area from dozens to hundreds of steps in front of the 16 tubes, just watching in a daze as the Song artillery quickly pushed these "tubes" back to their original positions, and then Use a long-handled hook to reach into the gun barrel, hook out the remains of the medicine bag, and then use a long-handled whisk (cleaning rod) soaked in water to stuff it into the gun barrel to extinguish any possible sparks...
Under their gaze, the Song Army's gunner quickly completed another reload! 16 buckshot bundled with lead bullets wrapped in animal skins have been stuffed into the barrel! Immediately afterwards, 16 spears wrapped with match ropes sent jumping sparks into the fire doors of 16 "casserole cannons"!
The 16 cannons trembled again. Driven by the high-pressure gas released by the explosion of gunpowder, countless small lead bullets were forcibly pushed out of the barrels, and then scattered into a ball. Under the influence of huge inertia, they shot up at a fatal speed. Rush forward!
In an instant, these small but very deadly projectiles rushed dozens of steps away and slammed into the Jurchens and Jurchen horses who were still in a daze.
During the previous round of shotgun volleys, there were other people or horses in front of these Jurchens and Jurchen horses, who blocked the lead bullets for them. In addition, they were far away from the muzzle, so they survived. But they wasted the opportunity that their companions had bought with their lives and stayed there in a daze... They were so stupid!
Although the targets of the second round of shotgun volleys were a bit "dumb", because they were far away and their formation was relatively sparse (because many people had been knocked over, the formation was of course sparse). The results were smaller than those of the first round of shotgun volleys, which only killed two to three hundred people.
The two salvos combined together knocked down a total of six to seven hundred people... Two-thirds of a force of thousands of Meng'an soldiers were wiped out by two salvos of 16 5-pound cannons. !
This kind of killing efficiency, let alone Wanyan Xiebao from Daikin, even Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, who single-handedly planned this "massacre", were shocked - this "casserole" is too powerful! No, we can’t call it “Casserole Cannon” from now on, we have to change it to “Killing Pot Cannon”!
Before Yue Fei could fully react, Wanyan Xiebao on the other side had already regained his consciousness, and he shouted loudly: "Jurchen sons, follow me... let's make a detour behind enemy lines!"
After shouting, I saw him turning his horse around, leading the way, and rushing towards the North River of the Yellow River!
Now that the flood season of the Yellow River has passed, the water level of the North River in this section of the Yellow River is not deep, and it can be forded... Wanyan Xiebao has already calculated that his Jurchen soldiers can ford the crossing on horseback, but the Song Army's But there was no way for the "tubes" to cross. Those "tubes" were too short, short and fat, and would be submerged when the water hit them. Although the "tube" can't be drowned, after crossing the river, it has to be cleaned up before it can be used, right?
So as long as he crosses the river, he can escape...
"Lieutenant Yue Tai, the gold thief is trying to escape!"
Yue Fei's army officer Li Qiong has been paying attention to the movements of the three or four thousand golden cavalry in the distance - those are big fish! Realizing that they were about to run away, he quickly reminded the coach Yue Fei loudly.
"Drum beat!" Yue Fei also reacted and quickly ordered loudly, "The whole army is chasing, the whole army is attacking... chase me!"
After giving the order, Yue Fei didn't wait for the drums to sound. He took a long-line gun from a soldier, then took the lead and rushed towards the Jurchen cavalry who were escaping in a hurry!
As Wanyan Xiebao took the lead in withdrawing from the battlefield and the Song army launched a fierce attack across the entire front, the Jin soldiers on the battlefield suddenly collapsed.
No matter the Jurchen cavalry or the Han'er infantry, they all lost any fighting spirit at this moment and just headed towards the North River of the Yellow River. Even the more than a thousand Jurchen cavalry who were left behind to guard the camp hurriedly protected Wanyan Zonggou, who was still unconscious, abandoned the camp and fled in the direction of Wu Lahai City.
It was quite easy for the Jurchens guarding the camp to escape... They had not come into contact with Yue Fei's troops, so they naturally ran away whenever they wanted. But the more than 10,000 Jurchens and Han soldiers on the battlefield were not able to escape so easily!
Except for Wanyan Xiebao, who was the first to run away, and a Meng'an Thousand Soldiers who followed him, they successfully crossed the Yellow River and the North River before Yue Fei's cavalry caught up. It was not easy for the others. They were chased by the Song army and fled to the bank of the North River of the Yellow River... Although the North River of the Yellow River can be forded, people and horses wading through the water will inevitably Slow down. The men and horses moving slowly in the river immediately became the best arrow and cannon targets!
This Yue Fei was really ruthless. Not only did he let people shoot the gold thieves in the water, he also deployed artillery again... 16 "pot-killing cannons" fired shotguns at the river!
When a shot of shotgun blasts out, the surface of the river will be dyed red. This is really terrible!
At the end of the battle, this large section of the Yellow River and the North River suddenly became the "Red River". The bodies of people and horses were all on the river, floating down the river in the direction of Wu Lahai City...
...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's over, it's over..."
The sound of a crow's beak suddenly sounded outside the lobby where Emperor Jin was walking in Wu Lahai City. At this time, in the lobby, a banquet was being held to entertain distinguished guests... The distinguished guest was Li Renli, the envoy of the Dabai Gao Kingdom. He came on the orders of Li Qianshun, the emperor of the Dabai Gao Kingdom!
And he also brought good news to Emperor Wu Qimai of Dajin... The 50,000 cavalry of Dabai Gao Kingdom have now arrived on the east bank of the Yellow River and the North River!
In other words, Yue Fei's retreat has been cut off by Li Qianshun's cavalry!
This is not the only good news, Wanyan Loushi has now arrived at Wu Lahai City... and brought with him the army that was previously stationed at the fork of the Yellow River!
Wanyan Loushi's retreat was carried out perfectly. Without the Song army noticing, they evacuated the two villages located on the south and west banks of the Yellow River (the west bank of the North River), and then set fire to the pontoon bridge. Retreat calmly.
The Song army on the battlefield at the fork of the Yellow River had to spend at least a day to build the pontoon bridge, and then another half a day to cross the river... Lou Shi also left many small strands on the Hejian grassland. Jurchen cavalry, they would launch raids at night to delay the Song army's pursuit.
So he at least got two to three days for the decisive battle in Wu Lahai City... These were the crucial two to three days!
With these two to three days, how could Daikin be finished?
"Xianbao, you, what did you say? What happened?"
Wanyan Wu Qimai looked at Xie Bao, who was riding back all the way, and felt unhappy... How could "Your Majesty be finished" when things were so good? Your Majesty is fine, how could it be over?
"Your Majesty, retreat quickly... The Song Army's firearms are powerful. In addition to explosive pots, there is also a barrel that can fire iron bullets... That barrel is too powerful, especially at dozens of steps. At a distance of a hundred steps, a large area was wiped out! An entire Meng'an Thousand-man Team was wiped out just like this... Your Majesty, retreat quickly. If you don't retreat, it will be over, it will be over!"
Wanyan Xiebao was really frightened. When he arrived in front of Wu Qimai, he didn't even look at the guests, so he cried and reported his tragic experience. And he also cursed Daikin with his evil crow's mouth, "It's all over"!
If Wanyan Zonghan had been present, he might have decided to kill his relatives right now!
But Wanyan Wu Qimai didn't dare to do this... No matter how crow-mouthed he is, he is also Zong Han's legitimate son, so he is qualified to serve as Bo Jilie in the future!
So Wu Qimai had no choice but to wink at Wanyan Loushi and ask him to speak quickly.
Wanyan Loushi coughed and said, "Xie Bao, don't panic...there's still time to fight this battle!"
Upon hearing this, Wanyan Xiabao calmed down a little and turned to look at the veteran Lou Shi. Lou Shi said: "Aren't the people of the Song Dynasty just good at firearms? What's the point... Our army has gathered together now, and our number is several times greater than theirs. We can even take human lives to fill the gap!"
This is not possible! Wanyan Xiabao shook his head repeatedly.
Lou Shi smiled and said: "If it's not possible during the day, can it be done at night? Let's give him a night attack!"
