On the twenty-eighth of February, at noon, the sky in the southwest was windy and cloudy.
One by one hot air balloons rose above the foot of the mountain. The largest blocking battle took place in two places named Xiukou and Shiling. The assembled Chinese soldiers relied on artillery and mountain roads to resist the Jurchen pulling away from the speed. The two-way attack of the Ministry and the Saba Ministry. The smoke and flames of the war were clearly visible from miles away.
Ten miles to the southeast of the Shiling battlefield, there are undulating hills in the field of vision, but most of them are flat, and a small river made of streams flows through. After leaving Zizhou, passing by here, after crossing the stone bridge and entering the mountain, it is a rough road. Every year, merchants transported goods from the outside world to Zizhou through Jianmen Pass, and then transported items from Sichuan and Shu out of this mountain. Therefore, the stone bridge on the river is named Wangyuan.
The two sides of the war have gathered on the south side of the stone bridge.
Ning Yi, who only led 6,000 people, didn't play tricks, and for this reason, the oblique guard with 30,000 troops in his hand had to move forward. His army was already lined up on the bank of the river, thirty thousand men, three thousand cavalrymen, and their banners were cold. Looking up, it was a rare sunny day at the end of February in the southwest.
On the opposite hill, 6000 Chinese troops are in front of you, including the character Ning Yi, who has heard about it for a long time, is also standing on the hill in front. Wanyan Xiebao breathed a sigh of relief, 30,000 hits 6,000, he did not intend to let this person have a chance to escape.
"The surrounding grass is very new. It doesn't look like it has been dug. There may be no landmines." The lieutenant came over and said such a sentence. Xie Bao nodded, recalling the collection of intelligence on Ning Yi in the past. The most outstanding person among the Han people in the past 30 years is not only good at strategizing, but also the best at risking his life on the battlefield to gain a chance. A few years ago at a gathering in the Jin Kingdom, Gu Shen commented on the other party and once said, "Looking at its inner meaning, it is similar to Baoshan."
Six thousand people, risking their lives to save their lives... Standing opposite to this stupid behavior, Xie Bao can feel a huge insult while bewildered, and he is not Yelu Yanxi.
Of course, this insult also made him extraordinarily calm. The correct way to fight against this kind of thing is not to get angry, but to knock the opponent out of the dust with the strongest attack, so that his backhand has no time to play, kill him, slaughter his family, and after that, you can face his opponent. Skull, spit!
There are currently four generals who follow Xie Bao's command. Xi Lie and Wanyan Gulu were originally generals under Lou Shi, the god of war, but after Lou Shi went, Yanshanwei took these two generals as their main commanders. In addition, Nake and Wenza, who were under his command, were also survivors of the Northwest Battle. Now Nake leads the infantry and Wenza leads the cavalry.
The army under his command has the memory of humiliation and humiliation carved into the bones of everyone. The white flag represents their determination to never retreat and surrender. The military training for several years is to face Ning Yi, the shameful mouse, and completely bury the Huaxia Army at this moment.
This morning, the generals who realized that the duel was in front of them invited out the robes of Jurchen's two former commanders, 30,000 people remained silent towards the robes, and then tied their foreheads with white scarves before they pulled out and came to the opposite side of the Wangyuan Bridge. Ning Yi refused to cross the river and wanted to put the battlefield on this side of the river. It didn't matter, they could fulfill him.
When noon came, the army with white scarves tied on the foreheads of the soldiers was no less imposing than the army that guarded Dagang more than 20 years ago.
The generals ran in front of the formation, but did not shout, and there is no need to elaborate more.
****************
"So the most important... the most troublesome thing is how to teach children."
"I think it's okay to fight."
"So you... don't understand education, this is a very important thing, what if you break it? The child also has self-esteem, what should I do if it leaves a psychological shadow on him? What should I do if I run away from home? Fighting at will, this will have an impact on their future..."
"My family two, it's alright..."
"Me too."
The wind blew softly from the mountain, and after receiving a message, Ning Yi was talking softly to Du Sha and the others next to him.
The atmosphere on the battlefield can make people feel nervous. In the past few days, intense discussions have been taking place in the Huaxia Army, including Han Jing, Qu Zhengyan and others, who also have certain doubts about the entire operation.
"Six thousand hits thirty thousand. What if there is a problem? You are the backbone of the Huaxia Army. If you lose, the Huaxia Army will also be defeated."
Or is it:
"Even if you have a certain degree of certainty, is it a waste to spend it on Wanyan's Xiebao, or wait until Zong Han fully comes forward, and then have a frontal battle. After all... it may not be possible to completely wipe out the Xiebao."
Two days before it arrived, Zong Han appeared in the pull out speed army. Qu Zhengyan also proposed the idea of revising the strategy. Ning Yi thought about it for a while, but also rejected it. Zong Han's appearance is to distract the oblique guard. The one who will rush in the front is always the oblique guard. If he doesn't fight, Zong Han will not give another ideal fighter.
In the process of these discussions and doubts, there was another thing that always worried Ning Yi. Since the 23rd, the frontline has temporarily lost contact with Ning Ji. Although there are many teams that temporarily lost contact with the first wave of Jurchen, if Ning Ji falls into the opponent's hands at a critical moment, it will also It's so bloody shit.
He has worried and calculated many things, but he never thought that such a critical loss of contact would occur when things came to an end. Until today, the news came from the front line. Ning Ji and others beheaded the Liaodong general Yin Khan and rescued Mao Yishan regiment. After a few days in the mountains to find fighter planes, they raided a Han army team the day before yesterday. Connected the message again.
In these few days of tossing and turning, it is said that Ning Ji was ruthless, and successively beheaded two enemy generals... This is really disturbing and disturbing news. This group of people in the family killed a 13-year-old child What is it like to practice.
We must end this war quickly, or there will be a murderous king at home...
He put his mind down in the general direction, put the news confirming Ning Ji's safety into his arms, and exhaled: "It's okay." He raised his head and looked at the 30,000-strong army of 30,000 men and flags on the opposite side. , "Even if I die here today, at least the children in the family will continue to walk on the road."
"Our two children have been beaten since childhood, beaten to death, and they are still the same now. Sensible... "
"… rude."
The brief conversation ended with Ning Yi's helpless expression. He asked about the time, and at 2:00 noon, the drums roared, and on the opposite position, the first group of about 5,000 troops in the Jurchen army who were on a tentative mission began to advance, with infantry ahead and artillery on the side. On the other side, the three thousand elite cavalry slowly detoured towards the south side of the battlefield.
The army in the rear is also advancing slowly.
The movements of 30,000 people made the earth sound like thunder.
Ning Yi raised his hand, gave an order, and the army advanced at the same time.
At this moment, the distance between the front lines of the two forces was 1,200 meters, and the huge army formation of 30,000 people was delayed, and it was nearly one mile wide.
The limit of the bow and arrow is 200 meters, and the effective damage should be suppressed to within 120 meters, and the distance of the artillery is similar now. One hundred and twenty meters, an adult can run no faster than fifteen seconds.
There are also bed crossbows and strong bows specially made by generals, which can kill up to 300 meters.
Generally speaking, the distance of a hundred feet is the first line of preparation for a war. And more operations and methods of using troops also fluctuate on this line, such as advancing slowly first, then pressing forward suddenly, or choosing to divide troops and stick to it, so that the other party can respond accordingly. And once it gets closer, it's the moment when the battle begins.
With a distance of one kilometer apart, both sides still have a certain amount of time to make adjustments and preparations when they are marching in formation. The battle formation of 30,000 people gradually expanded in the field of vision. The front line of the Huaxia Army was lined up in a long line in front. The formations of three rows and three rows were intertwined with each other. The muskets are equipped with bayonets, and the soldiers without bayonets carry large swords behind their backs.
There were more than 4,500 people holding muskets. In the queue, there were iron cannons in parallel.
On the side of the queue, guarded by a volley of muskets is a team under the banner of "China's No. 1 Military Industry". The main body of the team consists of more than ten box-shaped four-armed vehicles. Today, the chief engineer of the Huaxia military technology. Lin Jingwei and Gongsun Sheng were among them.
The team was accompanied by technicians, soldiers, and workers. Many people's hands, bodies, and military uniforms were dyed strange yellow, and some people's hands and faces even showed signs of burns and corrosion. .
The First Military Institute of the Huaxia Army and the Rocket Engineering Research Institute, in the long and difficult days after the establishment of the Huaxia Army, Ning Yi's support for this institution is the greatest. From another point of view, he is also directly controlled by him. and institutions that guide the direction of research. Many of the technicians are veterans.
Ning Yi turned to this field for some soldiers with strong hands-on ability and strong thinking ability in the generals a long time ago. At the grassroots level, the enlightenment is not enough, and the manpower is also tight. Now, let these soldiers who participated in the manufacturing process operate by themselves. To a certain extent reduce the loss of training new people. Of course, if the battle situation is tight, they will further devote themselves to the battle.
Ning Yi followed the group. At 800 meters, next to Lin Jingwei and Gongsun Sheng was Yu Hang, the deputy chief engineer in charge of the rocket. This was a man with messy and curly hair, and the right side of his head also exploded. The burn left a bald pure technician, nicknamed "Alopecia Curly", turned his head and said, "Poor, almost."
The vehicle stopped.
"Are you sure?" Ning Yi, who was looking forward with the binoculars, asked worriedly.
"Bi, after all, the tests we've done are not enough. According to what you said, Teacher Ning, in theory, we... we still have the possibility of having problems. Ning, Teacher Ning, stand farther away, if... if The most unexpected situation occurs, there is a 1% chance that this place suddenly explodes, explodes, explodes…”
"Okay, stop, got it."
Ning Yi's expression was dull, and he pressed his palm in the air. Some people even laughed out on the side, while more people were doing things step by step.
Five four-wheeled vehicles were disassembled. Each two wheels were equipped with a grid-shaped iron frame, which was placed diagonally on the ground in front of them. Workers used iron rods to support and fix them. The other five large vehicles On the top, the three-meter long iron cylinders were lifted out one by one and placed on the I-shaped launcher with several grooves.
The battle formation was still advancing, and Ning Yi rode his horse forward, surrounded by many members of the Huaxia Army that he was familiar with.
For this war, Ning Yi had prepared for more than ten years, and suffered for more than ten years. In the past ten years, many fellow soldiers of the Huaxia Army around him have died. From the beginning of Xia Village, to the three years of Xiaocanghe, and now, he can't count how many heroes he should have been alive.
As a smarter and more powerful person who came from a better world, he should have more sense of superiority, but in fact, only in front of these people, he does not have much sense of superiority. Over the years, like Li Pin, many people think he is arrogant and has the ability to save more people. However, the people around him, whom he tried so hard to save, died one by one.
When he was in Xiao Canghe, he buried countless comrades-in-arms. When he arrived in the southwest, many people were hungry and sent their fat to the research institute to extract little glycerin. Of these people, not a few people were killed and injured by the explosion, some people died of chronic poisoning, and more people were corroded by the poison.
In an explosion accident, a soldier was bombed with two broken legs, fell in a pool of blood, and the skin on his face was gone. The last sentence he said was: "Enough for them..." He was referring to Jurchen. This soldier's whole family, young and old, had already died under the sword of Jurchen.
Now everyone is quietly putting these results on the shelf.
In the process of scientific research advancement, Ning Yi first wanted to make a breakthrough in nitroglycerin. After the laboratory method was successful, he wanted to industrialize mass production, the foundation could not be achieved, and even caused many accidents. The direction chosen later was picric acid, but so far it has not paved the way for mass industrial production.
The whole body and manpower are still too few.
Then he had to slowly improve and explore the manual method. After making it, he chose to use rockets. In fact, the basic design ideas of rockets already existed in the Wu Dynasty. In another period of history, the rockets of the Song Dynasty flowed into India, and were later improved by Europeans to become Congreve rockets. Ning Yi's improved ideas, Actually it is similar. Better explosives, longer range, more precise paths.
Over the years, the total output of this iron rocket with a three-meter balance rod was 617 pieces, some using TNT explosives, and some using TNT explosives. Filled with picric acid. The finished product was named "Dijiang" by Ning Yi.
The vanguards of the two armies were 700 meters apart. Wanyan Xiebao raised his binoculars and saw the open shelf: "I knew they had a conspiracy..." But no matter what conspiracy or how powerful it was, at this moment, the only choice he could have was only Overwhelm the opponent with an army of 30,000.
At the same moment, the 30,000 Jurchens on the entire battlefield had been completely brought into range.
Jurchen's forward line entered the 500-meter line, and the 30,000-strong front line also entered the range of about 600 meters. The Huaxia Army has stopped and formed in three rows. The soldiers in the front row rubbed their hands and feet. In fact, they are all battle-hardened fighters, but this is the first time that everyone has used muskets on a large scale in actual combat. Although there is a lot of training, can they produce huge results? , they are not clear enough.
Shallow white clouds flowed through the sky, Wangyuan Bridge, twenty-eight, at three o'clock noon, someone heard the whistling sound of the wind from behind, and a light swept across the sky on the side. The red tail flames rushed into the sky with thick black smoke.
Each of the I-shaped launchers has five launch slots, but in order to avoid accidents, everyone chose a relatively conservative launch strategy. Twenty rays of light shot out in different directions. The moment she saw the light, Wanyan Xiebao's scalp went numb.
"rush"
There are two rays of light falling towards this army formation, and the main body of the explosive is newly prepared picric acid. The moment the tail flame penetrated the crowd, the roaring explosion poured out into the crowd with a high temperature flame of more than 3,000 degrees...
