What's going on?
Wu Qimai was stunned by the sudden fireball.
Why did Song Jun create such a terrifying fireball? Gao Qiu was driven away by the fatuous king of Song Dynasty. Why did this fireball come again? Co-authoring this "ball" is the nemesis in the fate of the Kingdom of Jin!
In addition, how did such a big fire happen?
Could it be the legendary magic?
Before Wu Qimai could react from his surprise, more objects in the pockets on the head of the cannon were ignited by torches.
Then the long pole of the cannon suddenly swung upward without knowing what happened, and without the need for manpower to pull the gun rope. Throw the objects with fire tails towards the Jin Bingshao artillery position on the other side of the Wuzhang River!
This time it wasn't a fireball flying over. The fireball just now was a test shot - in fact, this test shot didn't mean much. Because the Jin soldiers' artillery array occupies a large area, it is not far from the Song army's artillery array. As long as you take a casual aim and measure the distance, you can throw the fireball on the Jin soldiers' heads.
After the test firing was completed, of course, hundreds of dozens of cannons were waving their gun barrels at the same time. This time, more than a hundred spherical objects (actually a wine jar) were thrown out. Each wine jar is dragging a burning "little tail", drawing a fatal parabola in the air.
In just the blink of an eye, these wine jars with tails of fire clattered to the ground, and then turned into dazzling and deadly fireballs.
These wine jars are filled with fire oil, which is light crude oil!
Once this thing burns, it is extremely violent, and instantly turns a corner of the Jinbing tip artillery position into a sea of flames!
This is simply like a prairie fire!
Emperor Wu Qimai of the Great Jin Dynasty looked confused, his eyes widened, and he just looked at the place where the fire ignited in surprise.
In sight, at least fifteen Jin soldiers' cannons were engulfed by the sudden fire. These cannons can be ejected only by manually pulling the gun rope hanging at the end of the gun barrel. Therefore, a large number of regular and auxiliary soldiers who came as gunners gathered around.
These people are all unlucky now, as they are all surrounded by fires rising from the sky.
Some of them didn't know what happened, but they were particularly "flammable" (actually they were doused with fire oil). They were burned from head to toe and turned into flaming men. They were rolling all over the floor and making bursts of fire. Howling and screaming...the howling stopped, and the people stopped moving, but the fire was still burning!
As for those golden soldiers who were not particularly "flammable", they were all frightened crazy when they saw their companions turning into flaming men.
They didn't care about military law anymore, and they all shouted "Heavenly fire is coming" and "Heavenly fire is coming" while running north!
But they didn't run very far when they were stopped by a row of kidnapping horse soldiers holding iron bones. These kidnapper horse soldiers raised their iron-bone flowers high and shouted loudly: "The commander-in-chief of all the internal and external armies has an order. Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!"
Langjun, the deputy commander of the internal and external armies, is Wanyan Puluhu, the eldest son of Wanyan Wu who begged for purchase... He has now led the ten thousand households under his charge to the artillery array of the Han'er Army on Nanjing Road.
Of course he had discovered that Liu Yanzong's gunners were in bad luck and were being grilled by sky fire!
But he couldn't let these gunners escape from the sea of fire... because once they successfully escaped, the artillery team of the Nanjing Road Han's Army would immediately collapse.
Once the Han'er Army artillery team collapsed, the Song Army warships on the water could immediately launch an attack and crash into the pontoon bridge that maintained the communication between the Jin soldiers on both sides of the Wuzhang River!
Once the pontoon bridge on the Wuzhang River is destroyed, Wanyan Youbu and the two thousand households led by Wanyan Chanmu in Henan will become alone and be surrounded by more than 100,000 Song troops... Although the Jin soldiers are very powerful in combat , but the Song army is likely to have some evil skills. If not, the whole army will be annihilated!
So Wanyan Puluhu immediately sent out the kidnapping horse to prevent the Han'er Army gunners who had escaped from the sea of fire from running away.
As soon as the kidnappers and cavalry soldiers finished shouting, the iron bones were smashed down!
Some gunners who were frightened by the sky fire did not pay attention to the shouts of the kidnapper horse soldiers (perhaps they did not understand the Jurchen dialect at all), and just wanted to pass between the rows of kidnapper horses. As a result, all the artillerymen of the Han'er Army, without exception, were beaten to death by Tie Guduo, with their heads bruised and blood flowing, their brains exploding, and they died before their eyes!
The remaining artillerymen of the Han'er Army who had not yet rushed between the kidnappers and cavalrymen saw this scene and all stopped in their tracks, but they did not dare to turn over and rush back into the sea of fire - would they go back and be burned to death? So they had no choice but to stand between the sea of fire and the crippled horse, as if they were under a immobilization spell, not daring to move.
However, Puruhu's kidnappers had no intention of forcing them to return to the sea of fire to be tempered by the fire. They still allowed them to stand outside the sea of fire in a daze.
While sending Guaizima to prevent the collapse of the Han army on the Nanjing Road, Puluhu himself led a small number of soldiers and went straight to Liu Yanzong's Renqi.
This recognition flag was originally standing by the Wuzhang River, but now it is moving north quickly, but it is still blocked by the Puruhu.
Liu Yanzong saw that Puluhu was blocking his way, so he had no choice but to rush forward on his horse and wanted to explain why he wanted to move. But before he could say anything, the Han'er Army gunners started shouting in terror.
"The sky fire is coming! The sky fire is coming again!"
Liu Yanzong quickly looked back, only to find that just next to the cannon position that had been burned by sky fire, another cannon position was now also engulfed by the "sky fire" that shot up into the sky. Several large living people who were ignited by the sky fire were still running desperately. They fell to the ground not far away...but the gunner who was not burned screamed in terror and ran away with all his strength, seemingly heading towards the fire. Stay away from the terrible fire from heaven!
As a result, these people were once again blocked by the golden soldiers, kidnappers and horses, and were unable to advance or retreat.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief..." Liu Yanzong didn't have any intention to care about the fact that his subordinates were blocked by the kidnapped horse and couldn't escape.
He had to make it clear to Pruhu, "No, our people can't stand it... The Song people's cannons and incendiary bombs are too powerful!"
"Why don't you fight back?" Puluhu asked loudly, "Don't we have more cannons? Why don't we fight back?"
Liu Yanzong has more than 500 cannons at hand. There is no way he should just be beaten without fighting back!
"The deputy commander-in-chief doesn't know something," Liu Yanzong just shook his head, "Although we have many cannons, they can't hit them at all... Their cannons can hit at least two hundred steps, and maybe farther. , Our cannon can’t reach that far!”
"What? Can't reach it?" Proudhu was speechless, "Others can reach you, but you can't reach others!"
Liu Yanzong said with a mournful face: "The deputy commander-in-chief, the subordinates are all incompetent... The subordinates don't know what's going on? The cannons of the Song Dynasty not only hit far, but also threw a lot of things. The strangest thing is It’s like these cannons don’t need people to pull the cannon ropes! Maybe it’s some kind of magic?”
"Liu Yanzong, you are incompetent and can't make cannons. You are also talking nonsense about the people of Song Dynasty who know magic... You are disturbing the morale of the army!" Puluhu waited for Liu Yanzong fiercely, looking like he was about to bite someone. appearance.
But he was also doubting the magic in his heart!
The world is so big and full of wonders, maybe there really is magic!
But he can't admit that there is a witchcraft now, otherwise the Han'er army below will be even more frightened and may collapse immediately.
After all, the magic of demons is so powerful that it cannot be defeated by human power.
Once everyone in the Han army thinks so, they will collapse and disintegrate!
And once they collapse, the pontoon bridge on the Wuzhang River will be destroyed!
Once the floating bridge is completed, what will happen to the Jin soldiers on the other side of the river?
"Ah, what the Deputy Commander-in-Chief taught you is..."
Liu Yanzong also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he had to open his mouth to make amends while showing a look of shame on his face - who told him not to study hard!
If you don’t even understand the simple principle of leverage, how can you be worthy of the Kingdom of Jin?
Just when Liu Yanzong was ashamed, another salvo of Song Jun's cannons began!
It was still the same pattern. More than a hundred jars filled with fierce fire oil fell from the sky, and then a fire burst into the sky.
But this time there were not as many people burning in the sky as there were the previous two times. Because Han'erjun, who noticed something was wrong, had already run away before the jar of fierce fire oil fell down!
Not only did the gunners on the cannon positions that had just been attacked by sky fire run away, but even the gunners on the positions that were not attacked by sky fire were scared away... This sky fire magic is so terrifying, even more terrifying than the golden man's iron bone flower. Much more!
…
"Hey, it's only been a few rounds and I can't stand it anymore... The golden thief is nothing more than that!"
"You're a thief, but it's safe from a prairie fire. How can a body of flesh and blood bear it?"
"That's right!"
In the Song Army's camp on the south bank of the Wuzhang River, on a high watchtower, Chen Gui put down his telescope and said to Han Shizhong beside him: "Lieutenant Han, all the gunners of the Golden Thief have escaped. Shouldn't we let the navy go up?" ? Break the wooden bridge in one fell swoop and seal the victory!"
The Liangshan Bo Navy has been prepared for a long time. The large war boat that broke the wooden raft pontoon at Hecaikou last time is now at the forefront of the Song Navy's queue!
"It's not the right time yet," Han Shizhong said with a smile. "If we break the pontoon bridge now, the gold thieves on the south bank of the Wuzhang River will start a trapped beast fight, which is not good for us.
Now it's time to give way and ride out to attack... Leave a way for the golden thief, so it's easier to fight! Wait until the golden thieves start to cross the river, and then send warships to break the pontoon bridge. "
Chen Gui smiled and said: "Lieutenant Han is still very smart, and I admire him!"
…
The two dark groups of the Song Army slowly drove out of their respective camps from east to west, and from south to north, and formed formations to the west and south of the Jin Army's camp on the south bank of the Wuzhang River.
The two armies of the Song Dynasty set up a square formation composed mainly of infantry, forming a large formation of two people and ten thousand people. Flags were flying in front of the formation, blocking out the sky and the sun. There are also many large vehicles and cannons crammed into the center of each square formation!
A war is about to break out!
