Anzishan, the camp of the Jin Bing Liaodong Han'er Army, was already enveloped by the tense atmosphere of an impending war.
Han Chang, the leader of the Han army on Liaodong Road, was lying behind a hastily erected wooden fence, staring intently at the thousands of Song troops who were forming an attacking formation on the plain at the foot of the mountain.
Of course the gold thieves on Anzi Mountain discovered Niu Gao's army... This is where Han Chang's central army is located. How could the great traitor Han Chang, who had left a great name in the original history and followed Jin Wushu and Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie and other famous Southern Song generals to fight back and forth, be stolen by Niu Gao without warning? Camp and rob the village?
To be able to allow thousands of people under Niu Gao's command to sneak under Anzi Mountain is considered to be taking it lightly!
The sky has become a little brighter. Although it is summer now, the sea breeze passing over the top of Anzi Mountain still makes Han Chang feel a cold chill.
The chill comes not only from the cool breeze on the sea, but also from the Song army at the foot of the mountain.
Han Chang never expected that thousands of Song infantry troops would actually pass through the hilly area north of Dongjiguan Mountain and rush to the foot of Anzi Mountain... The terrain around Anzi Mountain is very flat. Could it be that these Song soldiers Isn't the army afraid of being trampled to pieces by the returning Dajin cavalry? Maybe these thousands of Song troops are just the vanguard, and there are tens of thousands of troops behind them?
Unfortunately, Han Chang assigned thousands of elite troops to Da Bian, and was ordered to guard Niujiao Mountain, Anzi Mountain and Fenji Mountain, three dangerous points adjacent to the Bohai Bay. He also had to watch the road leading from Huacheng Pass to Jiashan Valley, so he did not have enough troops. To guard the hilly area north of Dongjiguan Mountain, so he didn't know what was behind these thousands of Song Army infantry?
Thousands of helmets undulated slightly. Most of the Song troops had formed a square formation in teams, scattered on Anzi Mountain. In front of each square formation, two torches were lit - Han Chang was stunned to see it. Wu Shui, it's daylight now, why are they lighting torches? They didn't light torches when they marched last night. Why did they light torches now that it was already dawn?
Four three-bow crossbows were also assembled and carried up, and were placed less than 150 steps away from the Jinbing camp on Anzishan. The heads of the crossbows were raised high and aimed at the Jinbing camp on the hillside.
Niu Gao and his soldiers stood next to the four three-bow bed crossbows, watching the crossbowmen use the winch to pull the crossbow strings, and then load the crossbow guns with explosive pots tied to them - these "explosion crossbow guns" In fact, it can no longer be regarded as a "crossbow gun" because the head of the gun has been pulled out and replaced by a bronze explosive pot filled with eighty taels of granular black powder.
"Control, all soldiers from each team are in fighting position and ready to charge at any time!"
A soldier who joined the army strode up to Niu Gao and handed over his hand to report.
Anzi Mountain is not tall, let alone steep, and there don't seem to be many defenders on it. Niu Gao led three generals, more than 6,000 soldiers, four three-bow crossbows that could fire explosive pots, and nearly 7,000 explosive pots (including some that could be fired by three-bow bed crossbows). They have an absolute advantage in both military strength and firepower. So Niu Gao planned to make a one-shot deal and put all his troops into it to ensure a successful attack.
It's best to attack in one go, especially when the enemy will soon receive reinforcements... If you can't succeed in one blow and let the gold thief's reinforcements arrive, it might be a disastrous defeat.
Moreover, Niu Gao's army rushed in all night, marched dozens of miles in a hurry, and came through mountain roads. It consumes a lot of physical strength. If they can't succeed in one blow, it's hard to say whether the officers and soldiers will have the energy to fight again.
Everyone in Niu Gao's army understood this truth, so they had no reservations. Two generals, eight generals, and forty troops were pressed forward... divided into two assault waves. If one wave failed, another wave would come! After winning the battle, everyone was transferred to an official position and received a Kaifeng household registration, a house in the Kaifeng official district, and a palace maid wife.
Losing the fight...that's impossible!
Because Niu Gao's men are not ordinary Song Army infantry, but "pot-throwing soldiers" with extremely strong combat effectiveness. Each man has a bombing pot. Before hand-to-hand combat, he will first blow up the opponent's side, and then go up to see if anyone is alive.
Can this still win the battle?
Niu Gao stood upright, then looked to the left and right, and saw rows of cold light flashing like waves under the morning sun. They were the spears, axes in the hands of the "pot throwing soldiers" and the iron armor they wore.
Niu Gao turned around and straightened his embroidered clothes. He didn't say much and just waved his hand gently: "The bed crossbow... blast him!"
The explosion of the "pot gun" fired by Fuzi's crossbow was the order for a general attack!
When the crossbowmen beside Niu Gao saw his gesture, they immediately took the torch and lit the fuse of the "pot gun". The lead is not exposed to the outside, but is mostly hidden in a wooden tube inserted into the mouth of the pot.
When the flames disappeared into the wooden tube along the fuse, four metallic collision sounds of "kakakaka" suddenly sounded, and then four "pot guns" were seen shooting out with strong winds - these four The "explosive pot guns" are all fired upwards, because Han Chang's army is placed on a hillside dozens of meters high and cannot be hit with cannons. Only crossbows that can shoot upwards can hit them. But it's a bit reluctant, after all, it's from bottom to top!
However, these four "pot guns" still worked hard to fly upward at a certain angle, and finally flew over the head of Han Chang who was sitting behind the fence of his house.
Han Chang still laughed when he saw this scene, "Hahaha, this Song Dynasty man is so stupid. He used a bed crossbow to hit the mountain. How accurate is this..."
As soon as the word "head" came out of his mouth, there were several muffled "rumbling" sounds behind him, followed by a wave of heat hitting his back.
How is this going?
It's thundering?
Why did this thunder fall so close to me?
Han Changzheng was surprised. The soldiers behind him suddenly shouted: "Dead people, dead people... The sky thunder killed people!"
Sky thunder kills people...is that someone who has done too many bad things?
Han Chang quickly looked up at the sky. There was no cloud in the sky! what 's wrong? Is it really a thunder?
While he was feeling guilty, the Song army below the hillside had already cheered and launched an attack!
"The thunder from the sky kills the golden thief! The thunder from the sky kills the golden thief!"
Well, these "pot-throwing soldiers" are too treacherous. They knew clearly that the fireballs in the Jinbing camp were caused by exploding pots, so they still shouted "thunder".
Of course Han Chang was afraid of sky thunder, and he didn't expect that the bed crossbow fired by the Song Army was a sky thunder... Of course he had seen gunpowder weapons, but without such power, it would take a boss to explode like this A cast iron "explosion ball", this thing is so heavy that it is impossible to fire it with a crossbow.
So now he really believes that the explosion just now came from thunder... The thunder is rolling! Is that to kill evil people?
Han Chang was tired of the evil deeds of murder, arson, robbery, and "forcible rape". Is this a villain?
However, no matter how guilty he is, he cannot stop Han Chang from continuing to do evil!
When he saw the slogans of the Song army shouting "Thunder kills gold thieves!", he immediately stood up from his pony, drew out his scimitar, and shouted loudly: "Han'er of Liaodong, the time has come to make meritorious deeds... ...Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who dare to take a step back will be killed immediately!"
"Boom boom boom..."
Before Han Chang's shouts ended, several more "thunders" exploded!
When Han Chang arrived, the landing point of the thunder seemed to be closer to him... This meant that someone above was taking aim!
So he quickly strode forward - he had to avoid the thunder!
After moving forward for about ten steps, Han Chang reached the front line and stood behind the Han'er officers and soldiers under his hands. His Han'er officers and soldiers also heard the thunder coming from behind...but they did not dare to run away from the battlefield. Besides, the thunder in the sky would not stop "thunder" just because they ran away from the battlefield. They are.
This thunder is not from the Song Dynasty...
Therefore, this group of Han soldiers who were confused about the situation chanted various Buddhist scriptures, drew their bows and arrows, and tried to kill animals.
The Song Army's feather arrows and wooden feather arrows also came quickly... Not all the Song Army's "pot-throwing soldiers" were shooting arrows, only about two-thirds of the Song Army's level phalanx stopped. Move forward and start shooting arrows with the Divine Arm Bow or Foot Bow to suppress the opponent's firepower. The rest of the Song army used their shields to clear the way, continued to cover their heads upwards, and shouted while rushing back: "The thunder of the sky kills the golden thief!"
And the "thunder" continued to fall, making a terrifying roar.
However, Han Chang, the general of the Jin army, was not afraid at all. He walked back and forth behind his formation and shouted "kill the barbarians" to boost morale.
However, the continuous falling thunder and the rain of arrows from the Song army still greatly disturbed the morale of these evil-doing Liaodong Han soldiers. The arrows they shot were also a little inaccurate, so that the three teams charged with shields. The "pot-throwing soldier" didn't pay much, and he had already rushed to the front of Han'er's barracks ten or twenty steps away. However, they did not rush forward in one go. Instead, they set up the long shields used by infantrymen to protect themselves from arrows, blocking the arrows that the Jin men were aiming at. Then, against the rain of arrows thrown at them, they ignited the explosive pots they carried... ..
This was not one or two bombs, but more than two hundred bombs thrown together. It immediately hit the heads and bodies of many Han'er Army soldiers, and the soldiers who were hit with bloody heads screamed. , and then exclaimed: "Copper kettle, copper kettle, copper kettle..."
Copper kettle?
Han Chang, who was protected by several soldiers with round shields, also felt incredible. How expensive the copper pot was! How could it be used to hit people? Could it be a scam? Want to charge while your warriors are picking up the copper pot?
"No one is allowed to pick it up," Han Chang shouted when he thought of this. "No one is allowed to pick up the copper pot. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
But the "who" that "no one is allowed to" definitely does not include Han Chang himself. He is from Wanhu, so what does it mean to pick up a copper pot? So he strode towards a shiny copper pot that had fallen on the ground. The spout of this pot was still smoking? How is this going?
Thinking of this, Han Chang, who was curious, bent down to pick it up...
Boom, Liaodong Han's army, all households in the Han Dynasty, were bombed to death!
