Looking at the Song Army on the opposite side, Wu Dai said: "It is said that the Song Army's artillery is powerful. You cannot form a formation and charge directly, otherwise you will definitely die. I just saw that there are artillery placed on the nearby mountains. How can you dare to charge at his army's formation?" Only by charging forward with large groups of cavalry can we avoid artillery damage."
After finishing speaking, he said to A Qiha beside him: "If I charge forward with a thousand cavalry, the Song army will definitely not be able to think of it. If the Song army is dispersed, you can catch up with your troops and horses. If they cannot be dispersed, they will be killed." They. When you see the Song army in chaos, attack the flank of Dongling."
Arashiha said yes.
Wudai looked at the sun in the sky, then at Song Jun, and took a deep breath. Suddenly his right hand was raised high, and the drums sounded. He suddenly reined in his horse and shouted: "Come with me and charge!"
After saying that, he rushed out first.
A thousand cavalrymen from the rear rushed out together and rushed towards the Song army.
The defeat of Shaanzhou was a huge blow to the Jin army. The Jin army inquired about the battle process and thought about countermeasures. The power of the artillery was too great. After much deliberation, the Jin army decided that it would be best to charge with cavalry. The cavalry is very fast, even if it takes more than 500 steps, it can be reached in an instant. No matter how fast the artillery is, it can only fire one or two shots.
But with this kind of tactics, the most fearful thing is blocking the cavalry from the opposite side. If they cannot advance, the cavalry on the road will become living targets, and the outcome will be very miserable.
Wudai had already seen the formation of the Song Dynasty. The front row was not the usual spearmen, but a row of men with short waist knives. How could these men hold off the cavalry? Under the iron cavalry, everyone will be crushed to pieces!
After rushing a few dozen steps, Song Dynasty's artillery had already fired. Watching the cannonballs hitting the ridges on both sides, they didn't seem to move very fast, but they were in front of them in the blink of an eye. The shells passed through the crowd, creating a path of flesh and blood, and dozens of people were beaten to pieces.
A shell flew past Wu Dai's scalp, and Wu Dai could even hear the wind of the shell. Without squinting, Wu Dai ran as fast as he could. The rumble of horse hooves drowned out the roar of cannonballs, and the knights on horseback rushed forward with their blood pumping.
Shu Jiming stood in the front row, biting his lips and looking at the oncoming Jin Army cavalry with bloodshot eyes.
In a few breaths, Jin Jun's face was clearly distinguishable. Although the artillery is still roaring, fewer and fewer Jin soldiers are being defeated. It seems that the Jin army is about to break through the artillery blockade. Shu Jiming has to face the Jin army in a battle of courage and blood.
"Throw!" With a roar, Shu Jiming lit the fuse of the grenade in his hand and threw it towards the Jin Army.
Shu Jiming was tall and talented, and could throw grenades forty steps away. At this time, the Jin Army was still a hundred steps away. After throwing the grenade, the Jin Army was still far away. It's just that the grenades of this era were just made, without improvement, and the fuse was too long. After being thrown, the grenade did not explode, but smoked on the ground.
How does Jin Jun know what this is? I only saw the Song Army in the first two rows throwing something forward. They fell to the ground and smoked. How could they care about him?
When the cavalry rushed forward and reached the grenade, the grenade suddenly exploded.
After Wang Xiaolie watched the grenadier training, and based on his previous experience, he improved the grenade mainly by changing it to cast iron and adding a wooden handle. The power of gunpowder in this era was limited. After exploding, the shell only broke into a few pieces, and the damage was not very large. But for the army, this power is enough.
The muffled sound when the grenade exploded, mixed with the damage caused by fragments, caused the front row of cavalry to panic. The grenades of the Song Army were still being thrown over in a steady stream, forming a sea of fire almost dozens of steps away in front of them. The Jin Army cavalry rushed into the sea of fire, and the horses became disobedient and wandered around.
The wild horse was also frightened and instinctively turned around and rushed back. Wudai reined in the horse and used all his strength to rein it in place. Turning around and looking around, grenades continued to explode, and the rising black smoke was so thick that no one could be seen. Even re-forming the team is actually impossible.
Shu Jiming threw more than a dozen grenades before stopping to take a breath. I saw the Jin army twenty or thirty steps away, within the grenade range, in chaos.
The first time this happened, Jin Jun didn't know what to do, and he was bombed right there.
The grenadiers of the Song Army had a circle of grenades wrapped around their waists, and they were gone after throwing them. In the blink of an eye, Shu Jiming looked around and saw that all the grenades had been thrown. He took out a whistle, put it in his mouth, and blew three times. Then he took a big step back and entered the military formation, letting out the pikemen behind him.
Shu Jiming blew the whistle three times in a row, and then there was a short, loud sound that kept repeating.
Following the whistle, the grenadiers of the Song Army retreated, and the pikemen stepped forward, quickly completing the change of formation.
When Shu Jiming saw that the formation change was completed, the whistle in his mouth turned into a continuous short sound. Among the Song army, this short whistle was the horn of charge.
Taking a spear from the soldier beside him, Shu Jiming roared and followed the spearmen to charge forward.
In normal combat, when fighting cavalry, the first choice is to attack the horse's legs. Therefore, the weapons used by the Song army to fight against the Jin army were mostly Mazha knives and axes, and they rarely used long spears. Of course, this is an attack style, not standing there waiting for the cavalry to hit.
Wang Xiao's hunting army used long spears because they were facing a cavalry that was already in chaos, so Mazha knives and large axes were not suitable. Just prick it with a spear, it's simple and efficient. Moreover, the long gun can be divided or dispersed, making it more practical.
Shu Jiming stepped forward with a spear and stabbed diagonally from left to right, stabbing down several golden soldiers in an instant. Looking up suddenly, he saw a Jin Army general reining in his horse and looking around. He quickly caught up with him and shot him through the chest.
Wudai was observing his troops when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. Lowering his head, he saw a spear stabbed into his chest, and blood was flowing out.
Shu Jiming suddenly pulled out his spear and said, "Straightie, you don't look like an ordinary person in your attire. Could you be a high-ranking general?"
Wu Dai looked at Shu Jiming. Before he could see his face clearly, his body lay softly on the horse's back.
Seeing that the horse was about to leave, Shu Jiming strode forward and pulled Wu Dai's body off. He said: "If you are some high-ranking general, why don't you leave your body as a witness? If you leave, won't you suffer a loss?"
In Wang Xiaolie's army, killing or capturing enemy generals was also a credit. Although the rewards are not as high as those of other armies, there are still a few rewards.
During tea time, most of the Jin army was slaughtered, and the remaining small number ran back to the army's formation despite artillery fire.
Seeing this, how dare the remaining Jin army stay where they are? He left behind some wounded soldiers and hurried back to Qingjian City.
Shu Jiming looked around and saw that the ground was a mess, with Jin Jun's corpses everywhere and some broken limbs. The Song army was searching among the dead, and if there were any who were not dead, they would make up for it with a stabbing blow. The prisoners were not taken at this time, and few were left alive on the battlefield.
Wang Zhongfu walked up to Shu Jiming with a long sword in hand and murmured: "To defeat the golden army in such a short time is like a dream!"
Shu Jiming nodded, leaning on his spear, he nodded. He said: "Last year, we killed two to three thousand Jin soldiers, and it took a lot of effort, but the bandits escaped. Today, there are only a few hundred of us. We threw some grenades and came up like chopping melons and vegetables. Just like that, we won. Just like in a dream!”
After saying that, he looked around and saw Song troops moving slowly on the battlefield, checking the life and death of the Jin troops. The breeze blows, but there is no coolness at all. It still feels warm on the face.
