Chapter 169: No need for strategy in war

The launch of the Eight Niu Crossbow is far less earth-shaking than the launch of a rocket. Crossbow guns more than six feet long roar out of the strings.

In a blink of an eye, hundreds of crossbow arrows and rocket artillery shells hit Fenghuo Mountain.

Immediately, gorgeous sparks appeared on Fenghuo Mountain, and each gorgeous spark instantly expanded into fireballs. The small fireballs became larger and larger, quickly forming pieces, pieces, rows, and clusters, forming a terrifyingly dense forest of flames, almost covering the entire Fenghuo Mountain.

The violent explosions sounded one after another, and the explosion shock waves wrapped in shrapnel, flames and countless gravels rushed around, pushing the pine down, or uprooting them, razing all obstacles it encountered to the ground!

Some trees were too tall, and the explosion shock wave failed to uproot it, but it was not easy. The tree was covered with shrapnel in the blink of an eye. What was even more scary was that the explosion shock wave swept over and burned like a torch. The leaves were clearly covered with ice and snow, and were obviously green and green, but they were crackling!

Li Siye looked at this scene and was stunned.

Even Chen Ying felt quite surprised.

He could hold his hands up and swear in the name of his personal and family that this was definitely not the golden finger he quietly opened. In fact, this was the surprise that Chen Jiabao smith brought to him, which was terrifying.

As early as the seventh year of Wude, Chen Ying asked the craftsmen to make granular black gunpowder and successfully made burning hand-ring bullets.

Although the grenade made great contributions on the night of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Chen Ying was shocked by himself by more than a thousand Qin Wangfu guards under Li Shimin's command, and successfully grasped the situation in the Tai Chi Gongnan Yamen.

However, Chen Ying was deeply dissatisfied with this detonation method that was still obviously ignited directly. Not to mention dissatisfaction, it can be regarded as a deep hatred.

In Chen Ying's memory, the bullet should be to pull the ring directly, then detonate, throw it out, and kill the enemy. Therefore, pulling the ring fuse has become the focus of research on the supervision. In fact, if Chen Ying wants to solve this problem, it is very easy.

For example, the match head on the match is actually burning red phosphorus and sulfur. If these two substances are made into a pull-up ring, the pull-up ring fuse can be achieved. However, Chen Ying did not remember this.

The craftsmen who were worried day and night finally came up with a very stupid way to make a steel sleeve at the handle of the hand-beating bullet, and put a copper strip full of burrs in the middle. Flint, gunpowder, phosphorus, sulfur, nitrate and porcelain chips in between the copper strip and the steel sleeve. In this way, once the copper strip is pulled, the copper strip will rub violently with the filling in the middle, and during the friction, the flammable substance will be ignited. In this way, the pulling ring like Chen Ying said can detonate the hand-beating bullet.

Now the grenade regiment of Tiger Yicong has all been replaced with this kind of hand-knocking bullet that detonates.

Chen Ying naturally would not be stingy and gave all the craftsmen involved in the research and development. According to the size of their contribution, they rewarded them with huge rewards ranging from 300 to 8000 yuan.

These encouraged craftsmen have even opened their brains. They put their brains on the more mature Eight Niu Crossbow. The Eight Niu Crossbow's arrows have too low damage, which is amazing to kill three to five people with kinetic energy. However, if a refined fire hole can form a five-step sea of ​​fire with the same weight of the crossbow. If gunpowder of the same weight is placed, the lethality will increase to ten times or even more.

So, the craftsmen began to use their brains to detonate the arrowheads. The difference between the hand-beating is that the hand-beating is pulled outward, while the crossbow arrows use the huge inertia and impact force of the crossbow machine to poke it inside. It is also the same method of friction detonation. The rocket's shaft is no longer a taupo pole, but a hollow steel pipe with refined tincture oil or gunpowder.

Although this is not Chen Ying's golden fingers wide, the effect is the same.

As the eight-ox crossbow arrows flew towards Fenghuo Mountain in arc, Fenghuo Mountain turned into purgatory. I don’t know how many Goguryeo soldiers were involved in the fire, and their bodies were gone, and I don’t know how many people were trapped in the fire and struggled. However, who could save them? Who dared to rush out and have become the entire Fenghuo Mountain?

Fortunately, the range of the Baniu Crossbow is limited, and the range of more than 800 steps can reach the mountainside position at best.

However, the beacon, which was ignited by countless crossbow guns, was no longer reversed.

As the saying goes, the wind uses the power of the wind, and the fire burns harder and the fire becomes bigger and bigger.

On the top of the mountain, Yuan Gaisuwen's eyes were red, and she waved her sword and shouted at the foot of the mountain: "Despicable! Shameless! If you have sex, come up and fight. What's the ability to just hide at the foot of the mountain? You cowards, ah..."

While roaring, he waved his sword and slashed randomly, as if he was crazy, he was really going to be mad!

Originally, he learned that the Tang army crossed the sea and landed from the water. As Su Dingfang guessed, Yoon Gai Suwen thought of Fenghuo Mountain at the first time, which was the only opportunity for Goguryeo to block the Tang army's attack on Pyongyang City.

So, Yuan Gaisuwen volunteered to lead more than 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers, ambushed in Fenghuo Mountain and Dacheng Mountain, preparing to attack Chen Ying on both sides while the Tang army attacked Pyongyang City from Haipu.

In fact, when Chen Ying was in Haipu, Yuan Gai Suwen had already sent scouts to reconnaise Chen Ying's movements.

However, Yoon Gaisuwen was confused by Chen Ying's fake actions. Chen Ying built a stance in Haipo to prepare for building a permanent military camp. In this way, Chen Ying might not attack Pyongyang in a short period of time, and he would need to shrink his troops within at least three or five days.

Just like a fist hitting someone, you must first retract the fist and concentrate your strength to create an opponent.

However, Chen Ying was obviously not a person who played according to common sense. When Yuan Su Gavin mobilized more troops to ambush the mountainous area west of Pyongyang City, Chen Ying took advantage of the night to launch a night attack on Fenghuo Mountain, Dacheng Mountain and Mudan Peak.

Of course, Chen Ying did not order the troops to attack the mountain overnight. Such an attack effect was just to hit the stone with eggs. In addition to the early stage, he could also take advantage. Once the Goguryeo ambush discovered, Chen Ying could only attack forcibly.

However, Chen Ying had no intention of attacking the mountain. He used this new type of rocket, using gunpowder and tinder oil to turn all three mountains into volcanoes.

Yuan Gaisuwen almost clenched his teeth, but when he saw crossbow arrows flying from the bottom of the mountain, every crossbow arrow fell, he realized that there was no way to fight this ambush.

Yoon Gaisuwen gritted his teeth and suggested that everyone give up the ambush and retreat to Pyongyang.

This suggestion was unanimously supported by everyone. The Goguryeo ambush almost rolled and crawled away from the ambushed mountainous areas, fled from the effective range of the Tang army's eight-ox crossbow, and retreated toward Pyongyang in a mess.

On the way to retreat, everyone was in a heavy mood. Xisanshan was the only geographical advantage they could take advantage of. Once this advantage was lost, do they still have hope?

Especially the steep and fierce military strategists who are fighting for battle have become volcanoes, and it is only a matter of time before the Tang army burned them to death.

Even Dashan is like this. Does Pyongyang City still have a chance?

The small city of Pyongyang is likely to be blown up by the Tang army, and the food and weapons reserved in the city will also be gone...

It was finally time to dawn, and Yoon Gaisuwen led the remnants of defeated generals to a place less than five miles from Pyongyang City.

This is a large open plain and open land.

Looking at the city of Pyongyang in the distance, Yuansu Gavin felt uneasy.

Especially when he looked back at the less than 20,000 defeated soldiers behind him, he could not see any hope for the future of Goguryeo.

At this moment, his eyelids began to jump wildly.

The snow piles in the distance seemed to be moving.

Yes, Yeon Gassuwen was not dazzled.

Those snow piles were moving. To be precise, these snow piles were all disguised by Tang army soldiers, pulling them into the snow-colored camouflage clothing, revealing their true appearance under the disguise.

Yuan Gaisuwen looked around in shock, but saw that the entire army remained motionless, like a black mountain. The number of Tang soldiers was not large, about three or four thousand, less than one-quarter of Yuan Gaisuwen's command.

The black flag and black armor were lined up at the front of the Tang army crossbowmen. The crossbow put the arrow into the arrow groove and was already drawing the arrows. The horizontal knife hand behind the crossbowmen neatly pulled out the horizontal knife, neatly slapped the shield, and made a sound full of violent aura: "Kill, kill..."

This kind of steel-like sound makes people feel the illusion of traveling through time and space.

More than a thousand years ago, during the Warring States Period, the terrifying Qin army lined up like this, roaring "kill, kill...", and then crossbow arrows shot out like a hurricane. The troops of the six Shandong countries fell in rows, with casualties and wounded pillows everywhere. They were often shot down one-third before they even met the Qin army.

Sure enough, it was exactly what Yuan Gaisuwen thought, and he didn't wait for him to sort out the formation. The Tang army's crossbowman took the lead in taking action.

One move is a decisive kill.

"Swish swish swish swish..."

Arrows, as dense as locusts, were shrouded in Goguryeo's army with azure blue metallic light.

Chen Ying did not forget to teach his son at this time.

"Dalang, do you see? When you fight, you never need to use a strategy. No matter how many enemies there are, one word is to fight!" Chen Ying raised the horizontal sword in his hand, opened the void, and shouted: "Crush the gang of miscellaneous items to death!"

Li Siye was speechless.

I thought to myself, "You are not using a strategy?"
