Great Song Pirate

Chapter 617 Single Point Breakthrough
The shouts of the Fubo army broke through the sky, and the pikas in the nearby grass jumped up and hurriedly plunged into their caves. He flapped his wings and flew into the distance, never daring to stay here again.

With the waving of the command flag, a simple watchtower was quickly set up, and the observers quickly climbed up to the high platform, saw the position of the golden army in front of them clearly, and quickly reported the position of the golden soldiers to For the artillery below, this is the first time they have used this method. Because of the many situations behind the Jinbing trenches, because of the cover of the earth barrier, the Fubo army can't see clearly from the flat ground, so Xu Yi came up with a plan for them. This method can be regarded as an indigenous method, which specifically indicates the target for the artillery, and can also conveniently observe the effect of the artillery on the enemy.

It was still the artillerymen who took the lead. According to the directions indicated by the officers on the watchtower, the gunners of each artillery quickly adjusted their muzzles and began to clear the way ahead for the attacking troops. The Leigong artillery almost joined together and began to fire, a batch of projectiles rained heavily. This time they did not use solid ammunition or shot ammunition. Dozens of Lei Gong guns were loaded with flowering ammunition transported from Jilongzhai. This batch The projectile landed accurately in the vehicle-throwing position built by the group of golden men on the opposite side, and then began to explode one after another. In a round of shelling, dozens of single-bore cannons and double-bore cannons arranged by the golden men were blown up. It became a pile of tatters, and blasted away the golden soldiers with fixed artillery and artillery concentrated on the artillery position, first of all, the threat of these heavy weapons to the attacking Fubo army was removed.

"Good job! The Jinren's cannons are all gone. Hurry up and adjust the cannons, lower the muzzle, aim at the earth wall, load solid bullets, and blow them down!" An officer in charge of observation stood on the observation deck with a look on his face. exclaimed excitedly.

It’s still cool to use flowering bullets. If you use solid bullets, you don’t know how many rounds it will take to kill these cannons of Jinbing. This is good, and the problem can be solved once. Who said that?It seems that technology is combat effectiveness!

After solving the threat of the enemy's artillery, at least they will not worry that the attacking troops will be killed by these things. The artillery immediately lowered their muzzles and focused dozens of artillery on several points. This is what they planned. Solid stone bombs were installed in the weak points of the trenches, and they were ignited immediately, and there was another loud roar, and a cloud of smoke and dust rose from the earth barriers behind the trenches, and there was a sound of golden soldiers behind the earth barriers. There was a scream, and looking at these earth barriers, they collapsed on the spot under the bombardment of the Thunder Cannon. After all, they were earth walls, which were far less strong than city walls. How could they withstand such a blow!

Wang Feng and Lin Xiong saw that the gap in the earth barrier had been opened, so they raised their arms and raised their knives together and shouted: "Come on!" Heavy vehicles bravely rushed towards the first trench of the Jin army.

After suffering these two rounds of blows, the Jin soldiers panicked for a while, but under the command of the general Jin who was in charge, they quickly recovered their composure. In Fuzhou City, I have seen the power of the fire-breathing cannons of the Fubo Army. After suffering such a blow, these golden soldiers have more or less adapted to it, so they quickly calmed down and began to bring a group of new soldiers. The army stood up behind the earth barrier, and at the same time fired arrows, and began to counterattack the Fubo army who was trying to attack the trench.

Immediately, a rain of arrows came from the sky, and scattered towards the formation of the Fubo army rushing towards the trench. The first batch of Fubo troops who attacked by force were equipped with large shields. When they saw the arrow rain coming, they immediately Holding up the shield to resist, Jin Bing's arrows fell and were nailed to the large shield, making a dense tuk-duk sound. Since there were no cannon stones, Fubo's army was quite well prepared. The army's casualties were not serious. Only a small number of unlucky soldiers were hit by arrows that missed their shields. Some of them relied on the cloth bag armor on their bodies to withstand such blows without injury, but there were also some soldiers with weak arms. Some of them were injured by arrows in their legs, and some fell to the ground.

However, such blows obviously did not stop the Fubo army. Those wounded soldiers were left in place, waiting for rescue, and the rest of the soldiers would continue to advance without stopping. After unlocking the machine, the crossbow in his hand immediately flew out of the arrows, forming a rain of arrows, suppressing the golden soldiers behind the earth barrier, and then some soldiers who specialize in rescue rushed up immediately, and snatched back the wounded left behind , sent to the medical camp for treatment.

This kind of cooperation is quite beautiful. In addition to the commander's organization, it is more due to the long-term hard training of the Bo army. The principle of sweating more in peacetime and less bloodshed in wartime has come into play at this time. Well, the cultivation of an elite soldier does not happen overnight. This is why Xu Yi started preparations so long in advance. Otherwise, no matter how large the army is formed, it may not be of great use. .

Due to the strong organization and adequate preparation of the Fubo army, and the superiority in weapons, they quickly suppressed the Jin soldiers on the other side of the trench. , all made a hole the size of a bathtub in the soil base. Most of the golden soldiers hiding behind were injured by flying gravel and clods. The advantage, being pushed by a group of artillerymen to the vicinity of the trench, they began to quickly fire shotguns nearby, repeatedly bombarding the golden soldiers who were shooting arrows behind the earth barrier. It was shot in the head and chest, so after a fierce beating, the golden soldiers with earth barrier defense suffered more casualties than the Fubo army who only relied on shield defense. , was shot to death by the arrows coming towards him, and even the centurion of the golden soldiers who was jumping and directing the battle was shot by a blast cannon. As soon as the cannon passed by, he beat the fellow into a sieve and flew out It took a long time to land and die, and the golden soldiers on this position began to become confused.

But the commander of the Jin army in the distance saw the Fubo army storming here, and immediately rushed over with a support army. With the command of the Jin soldiers again, they started to resist again, and the fighting between the two sides immediately became fierce.

Taking advantage of the support of the Fubo Army's artillery fire, the two assault regiments finally rushed to the front of the trench with the bridge truck and the front truck of the trench filling vehicle. The trench filling vehicle pushed down the trench and began to fill the trench, filling in passages for the follow-up soldiers and horses. After the trench bridge vehicle reached the side of the trench, the operating soldiers immediately pulled the rope, erected the long springboard and then With a bang, it was built on the trench, forming a ready-made passage, but when doing these things, these Fubo soldiers who operated the vehicles also paid a considerable price, because when they moved, it was impossible to hold their shields to defend against them. Arrows, so many soldiers were shot down in front of the trench by the golden soldiers on the spot, and some soldiers operating trench bridge vehicles or trench filling vehicles were even shot to death in front of the trench, but by this time, fear of death was useless, leaving The danger here is even greater. After seeing this situation, some Fubo soldiers who were following the trench bridge vehicle threw away the swords and shields in their hands without fear of death, rushed forward and continued to operate the vehicle, bridged and filled the trench, and some The soldiers were hit by several arrows in a row, but they still insisted on not retreating, desperately pushing the cart or pulling the rope to build the bridge, until they exhausted their last bit of strength before falling down, but soon someone came up to take their place and continued to operate the vehicle .

Xu Yi and the other soldiers who were watching the battle from the rear saw this scene in their eyes, and their eyes couldn't help being moved. Xu Yi was very proud to have such a group of powerful men, and at the same time felt sorry for their sacrifices. sad.

Xu Yi sniffed, and said in a deep voice to the people around him: "Remember the names of these brothers, don't forget them!" The generals around him immediately nodded silently.

At this time, Yiqing also walked to the side of the drum, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took the drumstick from the drummer who was beating the drum, fulfilled her promise to Xu Yi, and personally beat the drum to cheer for the soldiers, Yiqing With tears in his eyes, he rallied all his strength, swung the drumsticks fiercely, and beat the drums with all his strength to cheer for the soldiers who were desperately advancing.

The rumbling and passionate sound of war drums was mixed with the sound of cannons, resounding through the sky and spreading to all corners. Every soldier of the Fubo Army was inspired by this passionate drum sound, and those soldiers who made an assault were even more excited. Striving forward, they flocked to the front of the wide trench one after another. With their dedication and sacrifice, several passages were finally formed on the wide trench. In the wide trench in front of them, spears and sabers waved towards the golden soldiers like crazy tigers.

Under the command of their officers, the golden soldiers counterattacked in the same way, and the two sides immediately launched a life-and-death fight on the earth barrier.

At this point in the battle, there is no longer any technical advantage to speak of. There is no longer any unfairness between the two sides in hand-to-hand combat. Only a duel of strength and courage remains. Under the entanglement between the two sides, the artillery, bows and crossbows have lost their effect. The only way to decide the outcome is with the sword and gun in your hand.

Fiery bodies swayed blood and fell into the pool of blood, fresh lives were snatched away by cold weapons, as if life was the most worthless thing at this moment, even Xu Yi had to admit that gold As for the ferocity of people, there are also some brave and brave people among the golden soldiers.

As more and more Fubo troops killed the trenches, the front line began to be pulled apart, and soldiers from both sides would fight together, making it difficult to distinguish the specific front line.

The previous scene under the city of Fuzhou was not long, but it was staged again under the city of Liaoyang Prefecture, but the change is true. The identities of the attackers and defenders have completely changed. The original attacker has now become the defender, and the original defender has become the attacker. square.

"Order the artillery to bombard the two sides and cut off the reinforcements of the Jin army on the two wings!" Yang Zaixing saw that a Jin army on each side was rushing towards here to try to support the Jin people here, so he immediately ordered.

The artillery position, which had been silent just now because of the entanglement between the enemy and us, soon roared again according to Yang Zaixing's order, and the artillery shells fell heavily among the golden soldiers coming from the two wings, blowing up the opponent's flesh and blood. Flying, the golden soldiers who were hit by this turned around and fled immediately. After a severe beating, the golden soldiers on the two wings were completely dispersed, and the crisis here was resolved.

During the fierce battle, as more follow-up soldiers of the Fubo army crossed the passage and broke into the golden soldier's position, the situation on the battlefield began to change. The number of the Fubo army began to suppress the golden soldiers in this position, and more More and more golden soldiers were beheaded by the soldiers of the Fubo Army on the top and bottom of the earth barrier. Finally, after a fierce battle, the Fubo Army took down the first line of defense here, and rushed towards the two wings, sending the two assault regiments to the ground. replaced.

Neither Wang Feng nor Lin Xiong had any accidents in this battle, but after the battle, both of them were so tired that they just wanted to find a place to sit down quickly. Looking at the armor on their bodies, it was completely covered with blood, and some places were even covered with blood. There are still some human fragments hanging on them, which shows the tragic degree of this battle. After the two were replaced, they led the troops to withdraw. When they saw Xu Yi, Xu Yi wiped the blood on their faces with his own hands, and treated them very solemnly They gave a military salute and said hard work. The two of them and their subordinates felt their bodies suddenly relaxed and their mood improved a lot. They all stood at attention to salute the generals Xu Yi and Yang Zaixing before returning to the camp to rest.

Batches of wounded and dead soldiers were rushed back to the camp, and the wounded were immediately sent to the medical camp for first aid, while the dead had special personnel to clean their blood and clean up their remains. The Polish soldiers felt a little comfort.

You must know that on the battlefield of this era, after low-level soldiers are injured, very few can receive timely rescue. Only generals can use limited medical resources and receive treatment from the army doctor. However, in the Fubo Army, no matter who it is, As long as you are injured, you can get the medical treatment of the army's Chinese medicine guards without discrimination, and you will never be left alone. This is also a very important measure and condition for the Fubo army to maintain a strong morale, so the soldiers of the Fubo army don't have to worry about themselves. No one cares about the injuries, many people have the courage to fight forward, as long as they don't die, there is hope of being rescued!

Daniel also participated in this battle, and when he came back, Xu Yi almost didn't recognize him, his whole body looked like a bloody man, and the mace in his hand was covered with barbs Flesh and blood, I don't know how many gold soldiers he killed, but after seeing Xu Yi, Daniel grinned, and Xu Yi was relieved. This kid has white teeth, and now his face is full of blood. It looks really scary.

This battle lasted until the afternoon. The Fubo Army used this place as a breakthrough point and continued to expand towards the two wings. One regiment and one regiment put their troops into it, and then used the method of rounds to continuously replace the tired soldiers, that is, let the troops They have been able to exercise, and it has also ensured that the soldiers can rest and maintain their physical strength. The first officer has reduced casualties. After Yi told Yang Zaixing what he had learned from the battle examples he saw in later generations, he was quickly adopted by Yang Zaixing. Therefore, before sunset, the entire first trench defense line outside the Liaoyang Mansion had been controlled by the Fubo Army. hands.

Ahuli watched the fierce battle from the top of the city, and finally had to order all the surviving golden soldiers on the first line of defense to retreat behind the second trench. Lao Jiang, who had gone through the battlefield, also had to secretly admire him, expressing his admiration for the commander-in-chief of the opponent in his heart.

The tactics of the Fubo army are completely different from the crowd tactics they used before. The Fubo army cleverly used the superior weapons in their hands, adopted a single-point breakthrough, and then tore their own defense line, and then adopted the method of round-robin battle. Suppressing his own Jin army, it expanded towards the two wings. At the same time, what also opened his eyes was that the Fubo army was very successful in using the terrible artillery in their hands, and cooperated with the infantry quite tacitly. Dispersed the soldiers who had just been organized by one's own side, and then the infantry immediately launched an attack, completely defeating the already frustrated and demoralized generals of one's own side. This was the first time he had seen such an attack method, and he had learned a lot, but There is no way to deal with it. He can only watch helplessly as the Fubo army throws in soldiers one after another to eat away at his first line of defense.

He was still full of confidence, but after today's battle, his heart was suspended again. At the end of the day, the several soldiers and horses he deployed on the first line of defense were almost wiped out, and only a few soldiers retreated. It was very heavy, but from the overall battle situation, the casualties of the Fubo army as the offensive side were far less severe than his Jin army. At most, the casualties of both sides could only reach a ratio of five to one, and the Fubo army also took back most For the wounded, it seems that the Fubo Army was able to defeat their own [-] troops outside Fuzhou City. They really have their advantages. The Fubo Army also showed him another side today, that is, in the case of close combat, Fubo The army will never give them in vain.

After seeing the sun go down, Yang Zaixing sent out soldiers who did not participate in the battle to take over the first line of defense, and established a new camp here, divided troops to garrison, and strictly prevented the Jin soldiers from retaking the lost position at night. The rest of the troops returned to the camp to have a good meal Fight for dinner, then fall back to rest, recover your strength, and get ready to continue attacking the next day.

After a day, Xu Yi's mood began to improve a lot. After all, after fighting like this for a day, the loss of his Fubo army was not as serious as expected. Only more than 300 soldiers were killed in battle, and hundreds of others were injured. However, they killed at least four thousand golden soldiers. It can be said that the results of the battle are quite good. Although they are far from the results of the first battle in Fuzhou City, they are the attackers today. It is not easy to achieve such results. What is more valuable is None of the units in the army were disabled, and they all maintained their basic combat effectiveness, so he was much more confident in capturing Liaoyang Mansion.

After the discussion was over, the attack plan for the next day was decided. Xu Yi returned to his tent, and when he looked up, he saw that Yiqing had already taken off the Xiurong shirt and put on a well-fitting skirt. It was so remarkable, it was pleasing to the eye, but Yiqing frowned slightly, and stretched out her hands to rub her shoulders, as if she was in pain.

Xu Yi was startled, but immediately thought of the reason, so he stepped forward, gently pressed Yiqing's shoulders with both hands, kneaded her, and said with a smile: "I said you don't want to follow, but you want to come, even if It's a man who beats the drum for a day, and he can't stand it, let alone you, a woman, how can you not feel pain? Tomorrow I think you should rest in the camp, why bother?"

Yiqing was a little flattered to accept Xu Yi's shoulder massage for him, but when he heard that he would not allow him to continue watching the battle tomorrow, he immediately said: "This is not acceptable. The soldiers are willing to risk their lives to fight against the Jinren for the Song Dynasty. Just beat the drums to cheer for them, how could it be unbearable? I just realized today that the battlefield is so tragic, and I won’t be afraid any more in the future!”

Xu Yi also knew that in today's battle, Yiqing actually put in a lot of effort. Seeing the Lord's mother beating her drums to cheer for them, many soldiers of the Fubo Army immediately improved their morale, at least they were much braver than usual. So it was up to her, not to mention that there were a group of heroic female guards following Yiqing to watch the battle. These gentlemen were very encouraged, and no one wanted to be ashamed in front of women. Tired, women have the advantages of women on the battlefield!
As expected by the Fubo army, Ahuli was really unwilling to lose the outer line of defense in one day, so he sent a group of golden soldiers to cross the trench to attack the Fubo army in the evening, trying to drive the Fubo army out. The prepared Fubo Army didn't give them this chance. As soon as they moved, the secret sentry of the Fubo Army discovered their movements, and quickly notified the chief general who was stationed here, Lord Diao Bin. Lord Diao is a sinister man, and he quietly mobilized troops. , did not light the fire, made some swarms and placed them in the direction where the golden soldiers attacked, only waiting for the golden soldiers to come to the door, and when the golden soldiers appeared in the night, he gave an order, and the soldiers would swarm There was also a hundred tigers rushing to the arrows to ignite at the same time, and then another bow and crossbow were fired at the same time. Under the cover of such a rain of arrows, the golden soldiers who sneaked up did not even touch the side of the Fubo barracks, and were shot dead on the spot. A large group, the remaining defeated soldiers were trying to get back to their line of defense. As a result, they couldn't see the road clearly in the dark, and many of them crashed into the ditch and were stuck to death in the ditch. In the end, 2000 people came out, and only less than one-third of them went back. The rest were killed by Diao Bin, and hundreds of prisoners were captured, which completely aborted Ahuli's plan.

Ahuli was so angry that he scolded the Fubo Army for being cunning, but it also made him see a new gadget of the Fubo Army. It was very shocking, and he was even a little scared. He didn't know how many new weapons the Fubo Army had that they hadn't seen before!
