Chapter 1268 Mountain Combat
Chapter 1268 Mountain Battle
Perhaps even Feng Hebi did not expect this. After all, his understanding of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty was not as thorough as that of generals like Gu Junying.
Soon all the generals recognized Lu Ziming's method and returned to the army.
Immediately, thousands of soldiers of the Song Dynasty dismounted and slapped the war horses far away.
This scene fell into the eyes of the Dali soldiers on the pass, which made them confused.
In this era, war horses were all treasures, at least in Dali Country. But what are the Song army planning to do now?
Do you want it if thousands of war horses say no?
How many war horses are there in the entire Song Dynasty?
Little did they know that under the influence of Zhao Dongting, the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty did not regard war horses as important as soldiers.
Although it is true that for cavalry, war horses are their partners, war horses are war horses after all, and human life is human life after all.
Soldiers should cherish war horses, but they should regard war horses as more important than their own lives, which is a bit of putting the cart before the horse.
It was not until the Song Dynasty imperial guards approached the mountains like clouds that the Dali army on the pass finally understood their intentions.
A general exclaimed: "They are going to break through the mountains!"
Although the mountains on both sides of Jiumao Pass are dangerous, they are not impossible to climb over.
As the general exclaimed, the Dali generals around him changed color instantly.
Then the generals hurriedly discussed, and soon Dali generals led their subordinates to the mountains.
They also brought a lot of thunder.
Just because the military components are quite mixed, they are naturally unlikely to be as convergent as the Iron Cavalry of the Song Dynasty. It seems to be in union, but in fact they are still doing their own affairs.
Feng Hebi was composed of 20,000 troops from Shanju County, 30,000 troops from Shicheng County, 30,000 troops from Jianchang Prefecture, Dongchuan County, Huichuan Prefecture, and 10,000 Dali Imperial Guards. The troops and horses of each county had their chief generals, and their subordinates were formed by soldiers from various departments, and each had its own commanders. Not to mention the temporary united front commander sent to guard Jiumao Pass, even if Feng Hebi made the tribal generals unhappy, they might not be able to command them.
It is good that the lord who guards Jiumao Pass can command these guys to the mountains to resist the Song army. As for how to fight during combat, it is really not something he can control.
However, due to the various factors that the heavy firearms were unable to achieve success and the army was in charge of their own affairs, this battle led to the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty to create a miracle.
After Shi Kangsheng, Gu Junying and others led the army to the mountains, they continued to go west and soon encountered the Dali army.
The sound of gunfire sounded in the mountains.
The Dali Army did not have divine objects such as the Dragon Gun. Although it had several times the strength of the Song Dynasty's Imperial Army, it quickly retreated after the confrontation.
Apart from grenade launchers, few other things could pose a threat to the Song Dynasty imperial guards. This made them far more damage than the Song Dynasty imperial guards.
A raging flame spreads through the mountains.
In this dry summer, the forest is so easy to be ignited.
This made the entire mountain seem even more chaotic.
The Dali army in various sectors were beaten to cry and call her parents.
Not long after, the army was completely defeated and retreated to Jiumao Pass. The main general in Jiumao Pass could only worry when he saw this scene.
Two hundred hot air balloons soared upwards and reached the sky above the mountain. However, this did not stop the spread of gunfire in the deep mountains.
Shi Kangsheng and others led the fight from below to above. As they fought, they suddenly found that the Dali army in the mountains was much easier to deal with than they thought.
These scattered soldiers and wandering soldiers were really just like native chickens and tiles under the Dragon Gun.
After tasting the sweetness, they simply did not lead their troops to break westward. Instead, they fought with the Dali army in the mountains.
The battle situation has undergone a dramatic reversal.
Originally, the Dali Army was here to swear to block the Song Dynasty imperial guards, but at this moment, many troops were chased by the Song Dynasty imperial guards.
The Shenlong Gun made them suffer.
I don’t know how many military and horses from Dali are lost in this deep mountain.
And even under such circumstances, Jin Hancai led the Imperial Army and the Fourth Light Cavalry Regiment of the Tiangu Army who was fighting in Chenxi with him also rushed to the Jiumao Pass.
They did not meet the scouts sent by Gu Junying, and led their troops from here to plan to return to Zhenxi Village. It can be said that it was a coincidence.
After rushing outside the pass, they heard the sound of gunfire in the deep mountains and looked at the rolling smoke, and were slightly stunned. Then they all reacted.
This must be a sacred person breaking through.
They also saw that the Dali Army occupied Jiumao Pass.
The sound of the Shenlong gun is unique to the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
Immediately, Jin Hancai and others did not hesitate, and abandoned their horses and led their troops to the mountain to kill.
Although they did not sleep all night, they could undoubtedly be considered a new force at this time.
When they arrived at Dashan and gathered with Shi Kangsheng and others, this made the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty unstoppable.
More and more Dali troops retreated to Jiumao Pass.
The entire mountain was gradually dominated by the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
The comparison between the two sides' casualties is an extremely astonishing ratio.
Although some of the Song Imperial Army died under the thunder of the Dali Army, there were definitely not many.
This completely angered the Dali general who was guarding Jiumao Pass.
As more and more defeated troops retreated into the pass, they could see the Song army spreading toward this side. Perhaps he was furious and even let the cannon chariots fire at the mountains.
Immediately, countless thunders thunders fell into the deep mountains.
There is also a hot air balloon in the sky, which means to razing the mountain to the ground.
This indeed blocked Shi Kangsheng and the others.
Although the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty had armor, they were also flesh and blood, and it was impossible for them to use their physical bodies to block the thunder of the sky.
Seeing the Dali Army's artillery fire was so dense, Shi Kangsheng and others stopped dealing with each other and led their troops across the mountains to continue heading west.
At this moment, there is no more breakthrough or breakout, because except for the Dali army hot air balloons in the air, there is no Dali army in front of them.
They went over mountains and rivers like this.
In Jiumao Pass, the Dali general caused a lot of trouble.
When he ordered the artillery to fire, some tribal soldiers retreated into Jiumao Pass. The shells were not eye-catching, but many of them actually fell into their army.
The brothers under his command were beaten to death by the army that was also Dali. Who can bear it?
After a general led his men back to the pass in vain, he couldn't help but be furious and immediately turned against the general.
As more and more defeated troops attacked by artillery fire gathered onto the pass, the turmoil gradually became unstoppable.
After all, Dali sabers and soldiers were facing each other on Jiumao Pass. The bombardment just now probably aroused the new and old hatreds in their hearts.
