Wo's leg on the side was stabbed by a spear, and blood seeped out from the armor, staining a patch of armor red. Wo Zi paid no attention to it, his eyes were glistening with blood, and he stared at the Song Army's formation ahead. As more and more Jin troops came ashore, the Song army retreated slightly, leaving an open space on the shore.
After taking a breather, Wo Chao commanded the Jin army on the shore to form an array in the open space. When the two armies are fighting, how can they do it without arraying themselves in formation? Without a military formation, combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
After the formation was completed, Wo Zi said sternly: "The Song army has been defeated by us, okay! Now come forward with me and kill the Song army! The whole army just goes forward. Anyone who dares to look back will be killed! We can only move forward. , no retreat!”
After saying that, he raised the steel knife in his hand high and rushed towards Song Jun.
The Song army's military formation was very strange. It seemed to be divided into three square formations, with a large gap in the middle. Wo Zi led the Jin army who could still move and went straight to the Song army's mouth to kill them. As long as these two holes can be torn open, the Song Army's military formation will be in chaos.
After running thirty or forty steps forward, Song Jun still didn't make any movement. Wo Zi bit his lip tightly, walked forward firmly, and walked forward.
At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded. Following the whistle, two muffled sounds were heard from the Song Army formation in front. Before the muffled sound stopped, two iron bullets were seen hitting the Jin army. The direction in which the iron bullets came was exactly the gap left by the Song Army.
Wo Zi could clearly see the appearance of the iron bullet, and even felt that the iron bullet was not flying very fast. It's just that the iron bullets slammed into the military formation with a whistling sound.
These two directions are where the Jin army formed a heavy formation and prepared to attack the Song army. Iron bullets hit the military formation, and blood and flesh immediately spattered. An iron bullet hit very accurately, knocking down eight or nine people before falling to the ground.
The iron bullets flew past Wo's side, a piece of iron clothing was twisted and deformed, and the flesh inside was mixed together, which made him feel heartbroken.
Turning around, Wo looked at his military formation and couldn't close his mouth at once. Just two iron bullets killed and injured twenty or thirty people in his own military formation, and the formation was almost completely broken up. The remaining soldiers did not dare to retreat or advance. They stood there not knowing what to do.
Wo Zi endured the severe pain in his body and shouted sternly: "It's just a weapon like the Song Army's bed crossbow. Don't be intimidated anymore! Kill!"
After speaking, he raised the steel knife in his hand and directed everyone to continue rushing forward.
Zhang Chi stood on a high place, looked at the Jin Army, and said: "The Jin Army general is a ruthless man. He has suffered so many casualties and yet he still wants to charge forward. Order the artillerymen to take charge of their own control and fire the artillery as quickly as possible! Wait until the Jin Army Get closer, obey the infantry's orders, and stop the bombardment!"
Xiaoshuting app
Wo Zi couldn't rush forward ten steps when he heard the whistle again. Before he could react, the iron bullets whizzed past the military formation again. As dozens of people fell down, Wo Zai forced himself to calm down, knowing that rushing forward like this would not work. Calculating the distance, if the Song Army's artillery fires so fast, all of our people will be dead before the Song Army reaches the formation. Taking a deep breath, Wo Zi felt the unbearable pain from the wounds on his body.
With the army, Wo Tie could only return to the river. On the way back, they were shot three more times by the Song army. Wo looked at the number of people and saw that they were only about half of what they were when they started. Holding the knife by the river, Wo Zi felt dizzy. How can we fight such a battle? He couldn't reach the front of the Song army's formation at all.
The Jin army retreated to the Yellow River, and the Song army did not stop shelling. It wasn't until more than a hundred people were killed and injured that Wo Zai discovered that the Song army's artillery shells had a fixed trajectory, and ordered the troops to spread out and shoot outside the trajectory of the artillery shells.
The sun has risen, and there are thousands of rays of light between the sky and the earth, and even the river is shining with golden light. The ferries were still bringing people over in a steady stream, but Wo Zai didn't know what to do. After fighting for just half an hour, there were already more than a thousand corpses of the Jin army on the shore, almost covering the open space. Attacking like usual is of no use at all. Even if all the people are dead, it will be difficult to attack the Song army's formation.
At this moment, all the soldiers of Bali Su came ashore. He quickly walked to Wo Feng and said, "General, the commander-in-chief has something to say, let me bring it to you."
Wo Zi said hurriedly: "Speak quickly!"
Mandu said: "The commander can clearly see from the city that the Song army's artillery is very sharp and cannot be blocked at all. But the power of the iron bullets is limited. If it hits a person, it will be powerless after more than ten steps. As the saying goes, at the end of a strong crossbow, the power You can't wear Lu Gui. The general does not need to form a military formation, but can be divided into rows, each row is eleven or twelve steps apart. When the Song army is in front of the formation, they can form a military formation and attack the Song army."
Wo side said: "How can we fight against the Song army, row after row?"
Mandu said: "The commander-in-chief said that although there are many disadvantages to this, we can always avoid the Song army's artillery."
Wo Zi thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's all it can do."
At this time, there were more than 3,000 Jin troops ashore. Wo Zi called the leader and started arranging his troops according to Bali Su's instructions.
No one has ever seen such a formation, and many people have doubts. However, the military law of the Jin Army was strict, and no one dared to object and go back to arrange manpower.
Zhang Chi, who was high up, looked at the Jin Army's new formation and sighed. He said to Xu Changxing next to him: "Our army has gone through many drills and believes that to deal with artillery, we can only line up like this when attacking. When we get to the formation, we quickly reorganize our formation. More than a thousand people died in the Jin army. It’s not a bad idea to think of this method. Order the artillerymen to pull the cannons in front of the formation and place them on both sides of the formation to support the infantry.”
The soldier agreed and hurried away.
What if the enemy attacks in rows? Wang Xiao's hunting army has practiced many times and has ways to deal with it. That is, the artillery is no longer placed in front or behind the formation, but is placed on both sides of the military formation to fire diagonally at the attacking enemy. The greater the angle of the oblique shot, the more damage it will do to the enemy. The most important thing is to avoid the attack route of our own military formation, so the artillery shells will not accidentally injure our own people.
Seeing the sudden change of formation of the Song army and the appearance of the artillery firing iron bullets, Wo Zi couldn't help but be overjoyed. It seems that his change of formation disrupted the Song army's deployment and had to change accordingly. Unable to bear it anymore, he led the Jin army to form a dense formation and attacked. As a result, after not walking far, they found that the lethality of the shells fired by the artillery had not been reduced much, so they quickly led the people back to the river bank.
The Jin army divided into rows and attacked from the shore. Although the number was much smaller and the threat to the Song army was greatly reduced, the damage of the artillery was also reduced. A cannonball fired can only kill one or two people. The closer they were, the shells could pass through several people in the same row, so the threat became slightly greater.
Zhang Chi said to Xu Changxing: "With artillery in the army, many generals believe that with this weapon, we can kill all directions. What our army fears most about the Jin army is that they endure hard battles and are not afraid of casualties during the battle. Fight. After one wave retreated, the second wave followed, as if there was no end. With artillery in the army, this characteristic of the Jin army could be restrained, so what else is there to fear? Commander Ji said, war is not determined by one or two things Weapons decide, and war is decided by people. The Jin Army can endure hard fighting, and we can endure hard fighting better than them. The Jin Army is not afraid of death and injury, and we are even less afraid of death and injury than he is. Only in this way can we defeat the enemy. Only in this way, artillery Only then can the power be truly unleashed. Today, it seems that we and the Jin army are really competing to see whose soldiers are more powerful!"
Xu Changxing nodded: "Yes, it looks like the Jin Army is going to come and seize our Pinglu County today regardless of casualties. So what if the artillery is powerful? If one thousand Jin Army people are killed, they will bring over a thousand more." . In the end, it still depends on whether we can stop them with infantry!"
