Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 33: The scary firearm of the golden man under Zhending City

Views:

Facing the brutality and invincibility of the beast and Zhao Zhen's sweeping invincibility, the Jin Bing generals were already scared, and they stopped moving forward. At this moment, the rebels behind had already been killed, and the armies of both sides immediately began to fight. Jin Bing was also caught in a two-sided attack.

Seeing that the two armies were fighting together, Zhao Zhen had an idea in his heart, then rushed the horse, and quickly rushed to the Jinjun Master Wan Yanzhen. Capture the thief first, capture the king, this is the only way to fight. Seeing that the Jinbing generals sent troops to Zhao Zhen desperately, but they still couldn't resist it. Of course, it is the Jin Bing who is not dead. In front of Zhao Zhen, the Jin Jun generals are very sorry for their lives. At this point, the generals of the golden soldiers did not have the courage to step forward, and behind Zhao Zhen's front and back, they fell into pieces of golden soldiers' corpses.

"Those who block me die!" Zhao Zhen's words were not too obvious in the chaos, but his steel gun flew up and down, and after hitting the front block, it showed his invincibility. Of course, Zhao Zhen himself is not an iron fight. In the face of countless weapons, he is still holding a shield. Although the shield has been deformed by resisting the impact of countless weapons, it doesn't matter much. He dares to siege and kill as before. Zhao Zhen's golden soldiers are running out.

The two armies are all fighting around, and Zhao Zhen's personal troops are approaching Zhao Zhen, containing a large number of golden soldiers near Zhao Zhen. Therefore, there are not too many golden soldiers around Zhao Zhen. The golden soldiers who besieged Zhao Zhen may seem to be many, but it is another matter to kill Zhao Zhen.

Now, there are more than two hundred dead bodies at Zhao Zhen's feet. This is not really dead, but many are seriously injured. After all, no matter how powerful Zhao Zhen is, it is impossible to kill the enemy with all his moves.

Zhao Zhen really killed less than a hundred golden soldiers, but most of the golden soldiers were injured, but they were all seriously injured. There was no difference between death in ancient times when the medical level was low.

Zhao Zhenfei rode straight behind Wanyanzhen. Wanyanzhen really regrets it now. He didn't expect that all his calculations were not effective, and 60,000 people were lost. He didn't expect that Zhao Zhen was so powerful, wouldn't the Zhao family of Song Dynasty be very weak? How could there be such a fierce man. During this chasing and fleeing, Jin Bing learned everything and began to flee behind Wan Yanzhen.

Many of the Jinbing generals also fled, and the Jinbing generals died of more than 20 centuries and more than centurion generals. Three of them were killed by the beasts, and the rest were killed by the rebels who charged up.

"You're really amazing..." Zhao Xiaodao, who rushed forward to the commander and chief guard of the Xinwang princely barracks, said to Beast, the new friend and general of Xinwang.

"No... Your coach is amazing..." The beast said with a complex expression to the battlefield where people are dying: "I can't kill so many people... If it were me... already dead..."

"That's because you have no weapons. When the battle is over, our commander will give you one of the best weapons." Zhao Xiaodao said.

The rebels following the two wings also flew over. Immediately after the rebels, countless pegasus galloped. The Jin Bing immediately retreated, and all the Jin Bing ran away when Wan Yanzhen ran away first. The rebels then concealed and killed them, and Zhao Zhen and the beast chased and killed the most enemies.

Wan Yanzhen led the remaining army and fled back to Zhending Mansion. He immediately prepared for battle and defended Zhao Zhenyi's army from attacking Zhending Mansion. In fact, Zhending itself was less than 40,000. Now Wanyan is really defeated, and he has brought back less than 10,000. Therefore, Zhending is currently in short supply and there is no Jinjun reinforcement for the time being. Zhending Mansion is very dangerous.

There is also a Jinjun general who is stationed in Zhending, who is also a Han Chinese. That is after surrendering to the Jinren, Guo Yaoshi who encouraged Yan Zongwang to go south to attack Bianliang in Tokyo. Zhencheng is a famous city of loyalty and patriotism, and also a city of heroes full of generosity and tragedy.

Zongwang led soldiers to besieged. At that time, Chen Que led the five thousand soldiers who defended the city, defending the city wall and fighting the enemy bravely. After several days of arduous fighting, Chen Que decided to lead the army and the people from the south gate of Zhending overnight, and the city of Zhending was once lost. But his wife and children of eight were killed by Jin Bing.

A few days later, Chen Chu organized his troops again, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Golden Soldiers to go south and the city’s few soldiers to join forces with the anti-gold soldiers and civilians in the city to regain the Zhending city again. This created a miracle of occupying Zhending City twice in the struggle against gold in the Battle of Jingkang.

As a famous general in the late Northern Song Dynasty, after the heroic resistance against gold, Chen Que once again highlighted the encirclement and led his army to the south. In 1127, he was appointed as the commander of the military, equivalent to the commander of the military region, stationed in the Daming Mansion. In the second year of Jingkang, this year, under the orders of the main force of Jinbing to go south and Gaozong Zhaogou, he led his troops south to Anhui.

At this time, Zhao Zhen had already gone from Jingxing South to the city of Zhending by victory. The Jinbing retreats all the way, and the people of the Song Dynasty and the rebels who occupy all the places to meet the letter to the king are everywhere.

Yao Shi Guo is a man of strategy. Although Wan Yanzhen is a Jurchen, he is considered a master. But because of Wanyan Zongwang's instructions, he still had to listen to Guo Yaoshi.

Yao Shi knows that after the main force of the various Jin soldiers led by Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan), Wanyan Loushi, and Wanyan Zongbi (Wu Shu) went south, the Xinwangyi Army has become an invincible army in the north. . He had to wait until the Battle of Bianliang in Tokyo was over, or the Jin army got the results from other places and went north before he could deal with the Xin Wang Yijun.

At the same time, Pharmacist Guo also knew that the reason why Xin Wang Zhao Zhen was blocked in the west, turned to the east. On the one hand, it was to occupy all the towns near Taihang Mountain, and to develop and grow based on Taihang Mountain and surrounding areas to fight against the Jin Army. On the other hand, it is also due to the fifty thousand golden soldiers in Shouyang City who have a complete face and laziness.

Yao Shi Guo immediately gathered a large number of the traitorous Han army from the original Song army who had surrendered to the Jin Bing, forming an army of as many as 40,000. Later, Wanyanzhen also gathered the Jin soldiers from all over Zhending, and gathered 20,000 Jinjunfan troops composed of Han, Khitan, Jurchen, Xi, Bohai, Mongols and other northern minorities.

Facing Zhao Zhen's letter to Wang Jun, Guo Yaoshi didn't hold on to the city. Once those Han soldiers defend the city, their morale will be low and the city will fall directly. In front of the two armies, when the two armies are fighting together and killing each other, you are surrendering, and the opposing rebels may not be willing to accept.

Even if the army of the letter king surrendered and did not kill, the Han army did not surrender. It will not affect the city defense. Even Yao Shi Guo couldn't guarantee their loyalty.

Yao Shi Guo directly placed the formation to meet the enemy, and he used 40,000 Han soldiers to form a huge square formation. And behind the Han army, there are five thousand golden soldiers from the Supervisory Team. Once a Han army escapes, it doesn't matter if it is killed.

What made Yaoyao Guo puzzled was that Zhao Zhen did not attack the city directly. Instead, during the daytime, he only stayed at a place about four or five miles outside of Zhending City with relatively steep terrain to set up camps and build camps.

Yao Shi knew that Zhao Zhen had many tricks, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to attack. The letter king Zhao Zhen has always been secretive in his military use, and his own initiative will definitely fail. Therefore, after knowing that Zhao Zhen had set up camp, Pharmacist Zhao Zhenguo immediately led his troops back to the city.

It was already past noon when Guo Yaoshi led an army of 40,000 Han people back to the city mightily. At this time, he suddenly heard the horse detection report, saying that Zhao Zhen personally led more than 10,000 infantry soldiers to kill in their direction.

Hearing the news, Guo Yaoshi hurriedly mobilized all the Han troops who had entered the city out of the city to meet the enemy, and the Han troops immediately went out of the city without eating. However, after the formation of the formation, Guo Yaoshi and the 40,000 army waited for a long time, but they waited for the news that Xin Wang Zhao Zhen had returned with his troops.

Yao Shi Guo, who started to get the news, was furious. But then he thought again and felt something was wrong. He led the Han army into the city, and Zhao Zhen dared to bring just over 10,000 people to attack the city. As soon as he led the Han army out of the city, Zhao Zhen immediately retreated. Is there any connection? Is it true that, as I guessed, there are spies who believe in Wang Zhaozhen in the Han army

The 40,000 Han soldiers were all composed of Song people, and there were a few Han people from outside the Guan from Liao. But in any case, they are all Han people. The faith king Zhao Zhen is invincible in all battles. I am afraid that many people in the 40,000 Han army already know this. I am afraid that these Han soldiers are all oriented towards the Song Dynasty, and they all want to take refuge in Wang Zhaozhen. The more Yao Master Guo thought about it, the more he felt that his ideas were right.

The Han army could not enter the city. Once they entered the city and defended the city, the Han army suddenly rebelled and attacked the city, and the golden army in the city would be ruined.

Yao Shi Guo directly placed the 40,000 Han people outside the city and kept them from entering the city. However, the five thousand gold army, which is the law enforcement army, has dropped sharply to one thousand, and it is still a few hours to rotate.

This kind of treatment gradually made the hearts of the Han soldiers who surrendered to the Golden Soldiers feel unbalanced. Why can't you rest? Can't enter the city

The sun gradually went down west, throwing a faint golden light. The summer sun sets late, so the Han Chinese military station who has been standing all day long has been very tired.

At this time, Guo Yaoshi, who saw that there was no movement in the king's army, thought he had a plan, and ordered the 40,000 Han army to camp outside the city.

As soon as the Han army heard that they were not allowed to enter the city, they had to camp on the spot after standing for a day, and the senior generals of the Han army had not yet received a reasonable explanation. From top to bottom, the Han army gradually began to curse Guo Yaoshi and Jin Bing. Their dissatisfaction is buried in their hearts, waiting for the qualitative change to erupt like gunpowder.

Just when the 40,000 Han troops were working hard to build a camp outside Zhending Mansion, countless torches appeared from Xinwangyi Military Camp to develop Zhending Mansion. Soon Yao Master Guo got the news, and he immediately ordered the Han army, which had not built the camp, to stop building the camp and form a large formation to meet the enemy.

Two star clusters flew from a distance, and the large star cluster developed from the front to the Golden Army formation. And another star cluster, which was fast but less in number, formed a geese formation, aimed at the flank of the Liao Army, and launched a fatal blow.

Forty thousand Han troops of the Jin Army lined up in front of Zhending City. The 40,000 Han troops are all infantry. They are formed in square arrays, and on both sides are circular formations of five thousand golden soldiers.

After the army formation, there are a thousand golden soldiers and soldiers supervising the 3,000 Han and Khitan artillery troops in the formation here, waiting for them. In front of the gunner army, one hundred small dump trucks, similar to dump trucks, were lined up. Behind the car toss, there was a burning barrel of fire, each of which had more than a dozen branding cones inserted. Hundreds of wooden cabinets were stacked in the gunner's army. Now that these wooden cabinets are opened, you can see that there are big black spheres inside.

Whether it is the Han army or the Fan soldiers, all the Jin army soldiers are very curious. I've seen rappellers, stone bullets, and troops who use rappellers in field battles. But this army is very strange, it is protected all the way by the golden army composed of pure Jurchens.

Even on the battlefield, the Golden Army of the Jurchen tribe was still inseparable, surrounding the gunner regiment composed of the Han and Khitans and not letting anyone approach it, which gave the gunner army a mysterious color.

At this time, Wang Jin and Xiao Deli led Ten Thousand Cavaliers and drove them into the gunner's battlefield of the Golden Army. Their cavalry was immediately stopped by the Jurchen elites.

The horses roared, the killing sound was thunderous, and the ground trembled violently. The Rebel assault knights were getting closer and closer to the golden army battlefield, and there were only more than a hundred steps left.

The commander of the gunner army looked at Yaoshi Guo. Pharmacist Guo nodded slightly, "Fire." "Fire..." The commander gave an order, and the soldiers of the gunner army immediately became busy.

Some golden soldiers took out the balls from the wooden cabinet and put them on the leather pockets of the tossing cart. Some golden soldiers picked up the fire-branded cones and forced them into the ball. A golden soldier pulled the cable. Throw the ball. The ball shot into the air, spinning and dancing all the way, drew a beautiful arc, and flew straight to the rebel army into the army formation of the war cavalry.

"Boom. Boom, boom..." In an instant, a deafening explosion sounded, and huge flames rose into the sky with flying dust. The earth was shaken, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked. Following the flash of fire, thick smoke billowed.

The rebel horsemen who were speeding at high speed were shot immediately, or they were blown up with the horse and the horse, or the horse and horse were injured and fell, and a large swath fell in an instant. The horses in the front were frightened and became more and more frantic, and the rebel soldiers who were also panicked continued to gallop, and the rebel horses at the rear stopped abruptly. They stood upright, hoisting their hoofs and hoarse, but then they were knocked down by their companions who rushed from behind. For a while, they turned their backs on their backs and suffered heavy casualties...

Hearing such a big movement, Wan Yanzhen who was next to Guo Yaoshi also changed color in amazement. Sitting on the horse was also terrified.

At this time, Wanyan was really surprised. Although he had heard that the artillery was powerful, he didn't know how powerful the artillery was because the level was not enough and he had not encountered a battle with artillery. Not only was he shocked, but there are still such powerful weapons in the world? No wonder the people of Song Dynasty always regarded it as a treasure and kept it strictly confidential. Wanyan was really amazed.

This kind of weapon has long been heard of, called a firearm, but the people of Song and Liao have never seen it for a hundred years of peace. On the contrary, Xixia people had learned it early. Because the Song dynasty practiced emphasis on civil and military affairs, even the god of war Di Qing was teased by the civil servant's concubine because of the tattoo on his face.

The Song Dynasty implemented the strategy of unloading the grievances and killing the donkey to the military commanders, so for those military commanders of the Song Dynasty, raising the bandits and self-respect was a strategy to protect themselves. The generals did not work hard, plus many civilian officials who did not understand the military command blindly, and the emperor had nothing to do with blind remote control. Various reasons caused the Song army to be unable to completely defeat the Xixia people.

The Xixia people have repeatedly won the war against the Song Dynasty and seized many firearms of the Song Dynasty on the battlefield. The relationship between Liao and Xia brothers allowed the Liao people to obtain firearms from the Xixia people. After years of research, they also tried to steal the Song people’s manufacturing technology. The Liao people also made firearms. An army of gunners was formed.

However, the Liao Army did not attach importance to firearms. Believing that it did not have much actual combat effect, the artillery army has been buried until now. It was not until Yelvchun became the marshal of the capital that this army was taken seriously and became an important force in the city defense of Nanjing at that time.

When the Jin army fought against Yeluchun's army, he suffered several losses in firearms and artillery. Therefore, after the Jin Army destroyed the Liao State, it immediately captured and captured firearms and artillery, as well as artisans, firearms, and artillery operators, and produced both firearms and artillery.

The general artillery is used for defending the city, but for field use, this is the first time. In the Jin Army, apart from a few high-level people such as Pu Jianu, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan) Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zongbi (Wu Shu) and others who had participated in battles with the artillery army of Liao, who Don't know the power of firearms.

The Jinjun generals who were nearby stared wide-eyed, stunned, and feared to the extreme in his heart. They have never seen such a terrible weapon. If it hits themselves, will it be alive

"Boom..." The shaking drums pulled them out of fear. This is one's own powerful weapon. With this terrible weapon, this battle will definitely be won. The Jinjun's morale immediately rose, and the soldiers suddenly became excited, and they roared like thunder and murderous.

But when Zhao Zhen in the distance heard the familiar sound of the cannon, she was surprised secretly. He secretly regretted that he had postponed the development of smelting steel and making gunpowder. The sharp weapon must be sharpened first, and the manufacture of gunpowder and the smelting of steel are indispensable for war.

"Damn golden man! Use our Han Chinese weapons to bully us Han Chinese, wait, I will let you taste more powerful firearms in the future!" Zhao Zhen thought secretly.

Facing the panic of the Rebel cavalry army, the archers began shooting. The strong archers lined up ignited the rockets in their hands, raised their bows to the sky, and fired them with all their strength. The rocket screamed, carrying a thick smoke, and flew directly to the panicked rebels.

The dense flaming arrows shot and killed many rebels. Amid the screams, "boom boom boom..." The second batch of spheres slammed into the rebel horse formations. The explosions were dense and violent. The flesh and blood flew across and the sound of explosions was astonishing. More like a hundred spring thunders exploding at the same time, the sky is shaking.

The artillery shells once again shot into the army of the rebels, bursting out intensive explosions, making the rebels' horses frightened, rampaged, the horsemen frightened, their souls frightened, and the battlefield was in chaos.

Although Wang Jin and Xiao Deli were also very surprised, they were also considered battle-tested. Especially Wang Jin, who followed Xin Wang Zhaozhen, had also seen firearms. Although he didn't know the power of firearms, he also knew the limitations of firearms and knew that firearms were so powerful that they could not kill a few people.
