Great Song Pirate

Chapter 659
Soldiers and horses crushed the snow, turning the snow into ice, and then being trampled into mud by the horses. Until many soldiers and horses passed by, there was no problem. Zong Wang looked at the cliffs on both sides, Only then did I feel relieved.

Following Zong Wang's wave of his hand, the most elite soldiers outside the valley began to file into the valley. No one saw a few flashes of light in the snow on the top of the mountain.

The fire folds in the snow nests were shaken and burned, and then they were placed on the few thread ends that had been prepared. These thread hairs made a hissing sound and green smoke came out, and the cave suddenly burst into flames. There was a strong smell of gunpowder smoke.

Those with good noses seem to smell a hint of conspiracy in the air, but they don't know where this smell comes from, and the vast majority of people still don't know anything and continue to take heavy steps and file into the valley among.

Suddenly there was a shocking roar from the top of the mountain, as if a thunder had suddenly fallen from the sky on the mountain. Everyone was startled, and then looked up.

Immediately after the first bang at this time, violent explosions sounded one after another from the stone walls on both sides of the valley. It was a lot darker, everyone's mouths were wide open, and everyone's eyes were staring as if they wanted to pop out of their sockets. Their eyes were full of horror, and then I didn't know who was the first to react, and hugged their heads. With a yell, he turned around and ran out of the valley.

The people and horses in the valley suddenly became chaotic. The sky was full of large and small stones flying and falling, mixed with dust and snow, and it fell like rain. Zongwang, who was preparing to enter the valley behind, was also frightened. With a jump, the sitting horse couldn't stand the repeated loud noises, and neighed restlessly, and then he saw the soldiers and horses in the valley getting into a mess, rushing out of the valley in a swarm.

The valley almost turned into a hell on earth. The Jin army who was hit by the stone couldn't resist such a force at all, and was smashed into minced meat on the spot. Those who survived by luck could only let out miserable screams under the stone, but they couldn't help it. Probably could get any more help from anyone.

The team walking in front was also frightened. They didn't know what happened in the valley behind them. When they turned their heads to look, they saw thick smoke and fire coming out of the valley, and all kinds of boulders began to roll down. Some frightened horses in the valley ran out crazily with their slow masters on their backs, regardless of whether there were people in front of them. Will be trampled to death by these startled horses.

The army became completely chaotic at this moment, and no one knew what happened. The world suddenly seemed to be split at this moment, returning to chaos.

The people and horses at Taniguchi huddled together, group after group of people were squeezed to the ground, unable to stand up again, and at this time, another violent explosion suddenly erupted underground in Taniguchi, a dazzling After the flash of light, there was a sound far exceeding any explosion in the valley, and a large number of human and horse stumps, stones, and soil were mixed together, and they rose into the sky, and there were also iron nails, porcelain pieces, The rubble flew into pieces along with the explosion. These things flew wantonly among the crowd, randomly cutting the human body, tearing each living person into pieces.

A huge shock wave spread among the crowd. Everyone centered on the explosion point and fell in all directions. The scene in the valley can no longer be described in words.

After the explosion sounded from Taniguchi in front, there was almost the same loud noise from Taniguchi in the back. Zong Wang was not too far away from Taniguchi, staring at what happened in front of him in a daze, unable to understand what happened. In order to protect his safety, several personal guards pulled his frightened horse desperately, and some guards even pulled out their waist knives and slashed at those colleagues who had escaped from the valley, because they had already threatened Zong. Hope for safety.

When Taniguchi also exploded behind, Zongwang was thrown off his horse by the blast of air, and he fell heavily on the snow. The surrounding guards were also knocked down to the ground. Everyone ears are buzzing,

Zongwang's army was cut into two sections by the valley in this way, as if a giant python was suddenly chopped off by a god with a giant blade, and the two sections immediately twisted.

This roar continued for a while in the valley. Even after the explosion was over, the shaken rocks still rolled down without stopping. The valley below was filled with boulders, and there was no longer any living creatures. Creatures appeared in the valley, only a few inaudible groans came from the cracks in the rocks.

"Damn! Why is it so loud today! I'm going to be deafened!" Zhou Junyu crawled out of the collapsed snow nest, scolded, and pulled out another subordinate from his side, and then the nearby A group of ashen-faced guys crawled out of the snow nest one after another, each with a look of horror on their faces. They had seen the power of gunpowder explosions, but they had never seen such a violent explosion today. After the result caused by their own hands, they were all a little stunned.

"Why the hell are you still standing in a daze? Hurry up! Go down the mountain! Go back to Gaizhou City! Withdraw quickly!" Zhou Junyu kicked and beat the gang and drove them away from the other side of the mountain ridge immediately. go down.

And on the ridge in the distance, some guys in white cloth also shook their heads, turned their heads to watch Zhou Junyu and his gang running down the mountain, Liu cursed and said, "These guys are really crazy! They actually released so many Fortunately, we hid far enough away, otherwise, we would have followed suit! Alright! Stop staring, see if there are any suitable targets, and shoot me a few officials, at least if they are commanders The above will do! Action!"

Some white figures crawled on the mountain ridge one after another, searching around, and then a rain of white arrows flew down one after another...

A golden general who was screaming wildly to gather scattered soldiers and horses suddenly stopped, and then threw himself on the snowy ground. When others saw him clearly, they saw a still trembling gun sticking out of his back. Arrows.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!..." Someone yelled loudly when they saw the arrow.

As a result, Jin Jun, who was already in extreme fear, yelled together after hearing the shouts of these people, and even some people who were still a little calm also panicked, and Jin Jun followed It became even more chaotic. The crossbow arrows shot down from the top of the mountain from time to time accurately hunted down those generals who tried to gather and suppress their subordinates, so that no one could suppress this kind of chaos for a while. Come and shoot him under the horse with an arrow.

Jin Wushu was lucky, he was the first to drive through the valley among the former army, so when the valley collapsed, he was not affected, but such a scene also shocked him completely, there were frightened mules and horses everywhere Ramping around, the knights above couldn't restrain their horses at all, some people were thrown off, and some unlucky guys got their feet hung in the stirrups and couldn't land, so they could only be dragged around by the frightened horses Jumping, running down for a while, it is difficult for the people above to die.

Wu Shu wanted to gather soldiers and horses, shouting loudly, and in the end he even had to cut down a few frightened guys with a knife, and finally gathered a team of soldiers and horses, but at this time, Wu Shu suddenly became alert , leaning over suddenly, a crossbow bolt flew over his head with a gust of wind, if he lowered his head and slowed down, it is estimated that this life was given here, the furious Wushu looked up, As a result, he only saw a vast expanse of whiteness, and he didn't see a single enemy soldier, but he was sure that there would definitely be an enemy army ambushing on the mountain above, so he immediately got off his horse, hid himself in the crowd, and greeted a group of soldiers. He had just packed up his will and hiked up the mountain.

Looking at the Jin army climbing up the mountain below, Liu Da counted the time. After Zhou Junyu and his gang had roughly left this dangerous place, they cursed: "Damn it! If it wasn't for the snow, if we could come here now A cavalry of a thousand men is enough to crush the Jin army! What a pity!" He raised his head and whistled, and then a group of white shadows stood up from the snow, and then he evacuated the hillside with a greeting. They quickly retreated into the woods behind the hillside, and the group of people disappeared without a trace as if they had evaporated.

Liu Da seemed to have said this a little too early. Just when the Jin army was in chaos, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out from the south of Taiping Mountain, roaring and crashing into the Jin army. He was extremely fierce, wearing iron armor, and after rushing out, he chopped and killed everyone he saw. How could the Jinjun, who had been frightened, have the heart to resist!

So these Jin soldiers immediately fled around like headless flies, and those who were killed by this Fubo army fled around. For a while, the mountains and plains were full of Jin army's broken soldiers, and wherever the Fubo army passed, the corpses of Jin soldiers were everywhere. , the originally white snow field seemed to be suddenly covered with blood-red flowers, which looked extremely coquettish.

Wu Zhu, who had just climbed up the mountain, saw this situation again below, but he only found some footprints and snow nests, and he did not find a single enemy soldier. Knowing that he had done nothing again, he rushed down the mountain ridge again in a fit of rage, trying to Organize a counterattack, but at this time, the Jin army has already lost its generals and generals, and has completely become a gang of mobs. How can he be able to gather it? Seeing that the Fubo army turned to kill On his side, Wu Shu had no choice but to turn around and run away, not daring to stay in this place anymore!
This one-sided massacre lasted until evening, when the Fubo army was considered to have withdrawn from this area, and the defeated Jin army finally got a breather, and Zong Wang was put on a horse by his subordinates, and fled all the way It was only after a long distance that they stopped their footsteps and began to gather soldiers and horses.

But after he gathered his soldiers and horses, Zong Wang almost burst into tears. When he left Jinzhou, he brought out nearly [-] troops, but after a day of chaos, he only gathered less than half of them now. The soldiers and horses were in such a state of chaos that even Wu Shu didn't know where they were going!

Frustrated, Zongwang immediately sent people to gather up the rout, searched for the abandoned luggage, and worked hard for another day before he managed to hold his ground.

Wu Shu finally managed to find him all the way back. When he saw Wanyan Zongwang, the two of them looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do next!
"The Fubo army is really powerful! They actually came up with such a powerful thing, this battle is impossible to fight! We lost too much yesterday! Brother, what should we do next?" Wu Shu said with a livid face. .

Zongwang's face was ashen, and after thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "What else can we do? Speaking of which, we underestimated the cunning of the Fubo Army, which led to this disaster! Right now our army's morale is so low, I have lost all the food, grass and supplies. Is it possible to continue to attack Gaizhou? I am afraid that when we arrive in Gaizhou, we will have to rush away! How annoying! Think about my military life, when did I suffer such a defeat? As a plan, we can only retreat to Guizhou temporarily and make another plan!" As soon as the words fell, Zong Wang suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then fell down on his back...

Wu Shu hurriedly recruited the medical officer to come to rescue him. After all the people had been busy for a long time, Zong Wang finally stabilized, but he still didn't wake up. He was desperate, so in desperation, he had no choice but to follow his instructions and take this group of defeated soldiers back to Guizhou County after dawn.

Poor Zongwang, a famous general of the Jin Dynasty, led the Eastern Route Army, which made the Song Dynasty fearful. He was beaten and defeated before he reached Gaizhou City, and he himself was so angry that he vomited blood and could no longer climb up. Woke up.

Leaving aside Zongwang's here, Liaoyang Mansion's side is also shouting and killing. Wanyan Huonu led a team of thousands of people into the battle, but it was never expected that there was a heavy army hidden in the formation of the Fubo Army. The mounted cavalry, after they received a baptism of crossbow arrows, were immediately turned upside down by those who shot them, and the chaotic team ran into the heavy armored cavalry who had come out of the Fubo army without turning around.

Although the light cavalry is flexible, their armor is thin. In addition, whether they are horsepower or manpower, they are already at the end of their strength. After bumping into the heavy cavalry, how can they get a little bit cheaper!

Poor Wanyan living girl was so eager to seek merit that she didn't expect that the other party would use a strong crossbow to fight back against them. When the first wave of crossbow arrows flew, many people chose him as the leading general to attack. Unable to escape this round of volley, Dang even was shot into a hedgehog by his men and horses, died tragically under the horse, and then was trampled into a pile of flesh by his own soldiers and horses that followed.

The Golden Army, which had lost its command, suddenly became chaotic, and then was unilaterally massacred by the oncoming heavy cavalry of the Fubo Army. A swipe of sparks, but it can't hurt the opponent at all, but the cavalry of the Fubo Army all use big iron spears weighing more than ten kilograms or barbed wire bones. Just touch them casually, and the general of the Jin Army will immediately become their prey.

This scene completely fell into the eyes of Wanyan Loushi who was watching the enemy's formation from behind. He watched helplessly as his son died in front of him, and he almost fell off the horse's back. Tears roared wildly: "Rush with me! Kill all these damn thieves!" After speaking, he rushed out first, holding a wrought iron machete, and killed like crazy.

Although Wanyan Loushi loves his son eagerly, he has not reached the point of losing his mind. The reason why he wants to do this is because his combat experience tells him that he must do this, otherwise, there will be no success in the next battle. Can't beat it!

He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's heavy cavalry had not yet turned back, and lead his troops into the formation of the Fubo Army. Once Tie Futu was free, he would have no chance to save the battle.

Although he thought well, he missed one thing from the opponent. In a rage, he led the rest of the soldiers and horses, bypassed the heavy armored cavalry of the Fubo Army, and ruthlessly rushed towards the base of the Fubo Army. In his eyes, the Fubo Army may only have this usable cavalry, and the rest should be some mobs. Otherwise, why would they dismount and use slaves?
When they roared and rode their horses, raised the snow all over the sky, and charged close to the main formation of the Fubo Army, Xiao Jianfeng once again raised the horses in his hands. The crossbow was raised.

"Three-stage shooting, release!" Following an officer's order, the soldiers in the first row immediately took three steps forward, quickly completed the aiming and firing, and then sat down immediately, holding the ankle ring of the crossbow with their feet , struggled to pull the crossbow string, and re-stringed it, and just as they were winding it, the people in the second row stepped forward, and then started firing, then sat down on the spot, and started to string it, leaving room for the third A row of crossbowmen, so the third row of crossbowmen immediately raised their arms to aim and shoot, and after the third row of crossbowmen fired, they just sat down and wound up. The people in the first row just finished loading their arrows, and got up again to aim and shoot... …

This time, the crossbow arrows in the Fubo army's main formation formed continuous firing. Although they were not fired intensively at one time, they were continuous, which reduced the waste of arrows and saved the situation where one person was hit by several arrows. Under the crossbow, these armors of the Jin people are like paper. One arrow is enough to cause great damage to them. Either he jumped up on the spot or he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Xiao Jianfeng actually had no choice but to adopt this method of combat. After all, the number of qualified cavalrymen he had was limited. No matter how he trained, it was impossible for him to train a cavalry that could surpass the Jurchen cavalry in such a short period of time. In such a team, a cavalryman needs to be trained in riding skills from an early age, and there is nothing he can do even if he is a fairy for a short time!

If he uses these newly recruited cavalry to use conventional tactics to confront the Jin army, the result is conceivable. The reason why the Jin army was able to destroy the Liao Kingdom is because of another quality in them, that is, they are not afraid of danger. Chaos, even after being hit hard, it is not easy to break into chaos. The remaining soldiers and horses can quickly gather and reorganize the team to form a fighting force, but his team has not yet reached this quality, so he wanted to It seems stupid to make such a move, but it is actually equal to the unity of step and ride, avoiding some weaknesses!
When Wanyan Loushi launched a full-scale attack, round after round of crossbow strikes came oncoming, and batches of soldiers running at the front were hit by arrows and fell to the ground one after another, unable to get up again. However, this did not shake their determination to continue charging. As long as they resisted the attacks of these bows and crossbows and charged into the enemy army, all that was left was for them to carry out a unilateral massacre!Such losses are what they have to bear, and after so many years of war, they have become numb to such things.

Although the Fubo army's crossbow array is sharp, it can't stop the Jin army from approaching. After two rounds of firing, the Jin army has already approached within an arrow's reach, and even both sides can see each other's expression clearly. It seemed that he saw Victory waving to him again, with a cruel expression on the corner of his mouth. He wanted to avenge his son with his own hands, and he wanted to kill all these damned thieves!

"Kill!" Wanyan Loushi roared like a wild beast, and kicked the horse's belly fiercely with both feet, causing his horse to reach the highest speed.

"Fire!" When Wanyan Loushi roared, an officer of the Fubo Army standing at the forefront also roared.

The soldiers behind each wooden box immediately lifted the front cover, lit a bundle of medicinal wire exposed from the back of the wooden box with a torch, and green smoke suddenly burst out in front of the Fubo army.

what is that?All the golden troops were thinking about this question, but soon they got the answer, because the wooden boxes suddenly flashed again and again in front of their eyes, and a bunch of fire-breathing arrows rushed out like wasps. Usually, the overwhelming ones enveloped the Jin army.

If the crossbow arrows of the Fubo Army can't stop their progress, then these rockets formed a wall of arrow clusters in front of them this time. Facing such a dense arrow, no one can be spared. Jin Jun, who was rushing, slammed into this wall heavily, and time seemed to freeze at this moment...

"Everyone get on the horses! Charge!" Xiao Jianfeng raised his horse again, shook the reins, sat down and began to run.
