259 Battle of the Yellow River 2
On the fifth day of July, the Tartars opposite Binzhou rested for two days and launched the first wave of attacks on the Qingzhou military defense line.
Wanyan Xie, who was in charge of the Northern Route Army, did not order the production of a shield car, although he had heard of a weapon opposite that sounded like thunder when it was launched, and the middle one died immediately.
Because in his opinion, the group of enemies in front of him were more like a group of bandits with large numbers but no knowledge of soldiers.
The low earth wall in front of me was completely a kind of thing taken away, and I couldn't stop anything.
Making a shield car is just a waste of time for everyone to rob later.
What's more, even if the person dies, the one who dies first is definitely not the Jurchens.
Wanyanxie also deployed the Jurchens at the forefront of the attack team. According to the plan, these Jurchens were responsible for diffusing light arrows outside 70 steps, suppressing the low wall, and then moving forward to 50 steps outside to shoot again.
Usually at this time, the Han army should have begun to shake.
Then send the Zhenjurchen soldiers to rush over the low wall, and the battle will turn into a one-sided massacre.
That's it, it's very simple.
Wanyan waved his hand, and the desolate conch sounded. More than two thousand newborn Jurchens carried bows and arrows, and arrow bags, arranged five fronts, and slowly walked forward.
These people all come from primitive tribes in the Heilongjiang River Basin or Changbai Mountain. In fact, they are still very different from the Jurchens. However, they are barbaric by nature and have a high level of hunting. Except for the primitive equipment, they are all very good soldiers in other aspects.
The Jurchens like to capture them, equip iron weapons and replenish their teams. Under the harsh military discipline of the Jin army, they are very useful cannon fodder.
At the same time, the Jurchen warriors had 200 light cavalry on each wing on both sides of the wings and rushed towards the low wall.
These scattered cavalry include both the Mongols who surrendered and the Jurchens' own light cavalry. They each ran in groups of 30 or 80 steps away from their chest wall, and made inhuman howls. Occasionally, someone rode a horse and ran a few steps towards the low wall, and then shot a few light arrows to harass him.
The legendary thunderous weapon on the opposite side was not fired, but some people wearing armor kept fighting back at the ranger with their joint bows.
These people's shooting skills seem to be OK. They are in groups of ten, relying on the strength advantage of the step bow to concentrate on shooting the occasional approaching ranger.
The cavalry soft bow suffered a lot in this kind of shooting, and soon fell down seven or eight people. The remaining rangers dared not approach and just wandered outside the range of the step bow.
"The armor is good." Wanyan Zonghan looked at the archers who were emerging and vaguely appearing on the opposite side and said lightly.
"It was taken down from the Southern Barbarians' imperial guards?" Wanyan Zongbi replied with a smile: "The Qingzhou thieves stopped He's a kissing fleet, and this is five thousand sets of iron armor."
"The iron armor of the Southern Barbarians is worth at least twenty or thirty coins! This should have been ours, it's a pity!"
"It's not a pity that if you break through that short wall, you will have many armors." Wanyan Xie, commander of the Northern Army, also said: "Attack, don't waste time."
At this time, the Jurchens did not know the power of the firearms. The tentative attack just now did not trigger a fierce counterattack by the Qingzhou army, and they did not think there was anything wrong.
Anyway, no matter what, the final decision is the bows, big swords, spears, armor, the courage of soldiers and the wisdom of generals, rather than some inexplicable new weapons - this has been the case for thousands of years and has never changed.
There will be no changes in the future.
In the Jin army camp, the sound of powerful war drums sounded, and the Jurchen soldiers who were seventy steps away from their chest wall stopped one after another, and pulled out a light arrow from the arrow bag step by step with their right hands, gently placed it on the corner bow, and the bow body tilted upwards...
Then let go of your fingers and shoot!
With a long whistle, a dark cloud made of feather arrows suddenly rushed into the air, drawing a graceful parabola in the vision of the soldiers on both sides of the battle, and then pierced heavily towards the low wall!
There were immediately bursts of pain behind the low wall. Even if there were guards hanging in the air, it would be impossible to be unscathed in the face of such a dense rain of arrows.
But at this distance, it is not easy to kill people wearing full armor with a light arrow.
Listening to the enemy's screams, the Jurchen warriors showed cruel expressions on their faces. They felt that they would soon enter the pursuit stage.
The drums were still there, and the Jurchens shot arrows again, and then the third round, the fourth round, and the fifth round!
Dodolodolodolodolodolodolodolodolodol…
The sound of sharp arrows pecking at the soil kept coming. After five rounds of shooting, the short earth wall opposite was almost inserted into a hedgehog.
It seemed that it was completely suppressed. The armored soldiers who were still shooting against the Rangers just now did not show up again. The Qingzhou army did not even fight back, and the entire low wall defense line was quiet.
Standing in Wanyan Xiye's position, I could only find rows of sharp spearheads behind the low wall.
"I think this short wall is not as simple as it looks." Wanyan Zonghan suddenly said.
"There must be a trench behind you. You have to cross the trench first before chasing you." Wanyan Zongbi was still the one who answered the conversation. He said in an indifferent tone: "It's just a little trouble, and killing them all is no problem."
"Is that true?" Wanyan Zonghan suddenly felt that this matter might not be that simple.
In front, after five rounds of shooting, the Jurchen continued to move forward until he was fifty steps away and was about to draw the bow and shoot the arrow again, a faint sound of command suddenly came from the other side of the low wall:
"preparation……"
"aim……"
The Jurchen erectile savages with good eyes saw a row of black muzzles appearing on the chest wall. They didn't know what weapon this was, but the beast-like intuition brought by years of battle formation experience told them that the visitor was not good.
Almost as the Jurchen shot the first round of light arrows outside fifty steps, a sharp and harsh whistle sounded and the last command sounded at the same time:
Shh~~~!
"shooting!"
Bang bang bang bang!
The crisp musket roared into pieces, and a white smoke dragon rose from the chest wall. More than 190 bullets instantly flew over a short fifty steps away, and plunged into the body of a child Jurchen soldier who was only wearing light armor.
The lead bullet turns into a thin piece in the human body, twisting the soft internal organs, muscles, blood vessels and some bones into a bloody and fuzzy ball, and then sprays out of the human body with a fountain of blood...
The Tartar front fell down a row in an instant like cutting wheat. The smell of blood and smoke was floating on the battlefield. The first time the Jurchen soldiers suffered such a painful blow, and were completely helpless against the enemy's new weapons. They could only continue to shoot with the Qingzhou army, which had a geographical advantage, as they ordered.
Bang bang bang bang!
Another neat gunfire sounded, and the young Jurchens standing in the front row fell down. Others let out a roar of unknown significance, regardless of the severity, and casually grabbed an arrow and shot it towards the chest wall.
After the third round, the Jin army's counterattack had become very sparse.
"This can't continue like this! Assault!"
Wanyan Xieye, Wanyan Zonghan and other Jurchen Boji Lie, who had experienced many battles, shouted at the same time.
Chapter completed!
