Chapter 346 The Burning Wasteland
The joining of the Axe Gunners completed the final blow to the cannon fodder who were already on the verge of collapse...
“This night is very long!”
Wang Yue sighed.
It was already nightfall.
The soldiers of the ever-winning army who had just repelled the enemy were all resting, while the militia went out to quickly clear the battlefield and repair the defense line, including cutting the heads of Jingguan. The dead bodies were simply thrown outside the defense line and ignited, which was also considered lighting.
In fact, at this moment, there are lights of light everywhere in this wilderness.
On the tower mountain, inside the square formation of the Changsheng Army and in front of the formation, there are piles of burning fires. You should know that Taohua Island is also a whaling base. In recent years, countless whales' wronged souls wandered over Taohua Island, and there were even giant sperm whales...
In fact, sperm whales in Bohai Mountain are not rare in this era.
In the late Ming Dynasty, there were records of large sperm whales stranded on the Changli coast. As for small gray whales, they are often seen. Since it is a whale base, there is nothing rare about whale oil and blubber. They are transported directly to ignite with the cut down trees.
The Jurchen army opposite also lit countless bonfires.
In the wilderness under the night sky, countless burning bonfires, and the figures vaguely visible in the bonfires, accompanied by the shimmering sea on one side, and the black mountains on the other side, stretching like endless. The night battle of nearly 100,000 troops made this land like a awakened monster, widening eyes and opening its huge mouth, waiting to devour countless lives.
The enemy's bow and arrows on the opposite side appeared again and shot the militia with bows and arrows.
This prevents the repair of the defense line.
But the militia were all cotton armor, and their cavalry bows were difficult to penetrate when shooting arrows from a distance. And Xiao Pu, who was standing on the flanks, led the Khitan cavalry to attack.
Their infantry did not come.
Yelu Ning still led the Khitan infantry to guard Hu Sengshan City to prevent Nianhan from attacking them. They had a lot of food there, which could provide valuable supplies for Nianhan. In short, in the gap between the Jurchen attacks, the battle did not stop, and it is estimated that the battle would not stop tonight. Nianhan must open this place and then rescue Silver Skill. If the latter is destroyed, it will be a real injury for them. Silver Skill is not those miscellaneous cannon fodders. At present, the Jurchens are the leader of the two major army groups, and the Nianhan group uses Lou Shi and Silver Skill to be the right-hand arm level.
If Silver Technique is destroyed in Yanzhou, it will really cut off his arm.
Moreover, Yin Shu has ten thousand Jurchen elites under him. That is not a miscellaneous cannon fodder, but a real Jurchen. If they are destroyed, the Jurchens will cry.
By the way, they are not many young and strong in the Jurchens!
"King, the Second Cavalry Army has arrived in Yanzhou and has now completed the encirclement."
Zhang Rong said.
In other words, there are already two armies under Yanzhou city.
There are also Chi Zhanhui's subordinates, who are almost 10,000 infantry and cavalry under his command, and more than 40,000 people surrounded Yin Shuke's 10,000, but the latter had a Yanzhou City in his hand.
It may not be able to win tonight.
After all, all the arrivals are all cavalry, and there are lack of weapons to attack the city.
"Tell them that the Silver Skill must be solved before dark tomorrow. In addition, let Wang De tell Chi Zhanhui that he must do his best in this battle. If Yanzhou is taken to wipe out the Silver Skill, I will guarantee that he will be rich and prosperous for generations. He is not without people under his command. The population of the four states of Run is 200,000, and there are always 40,000 young and strong. Don't care how much he dies. I will give him ten times the compensation for everything he loses!"
Wang Yue said.
Cannon fodder!
He has it too!
Chizhanhui's green and strong light is the best!
Wang Yue can indeed guarantee their Zhang family wealth for generations, but the population under their Zhang family is another matter. The four prefectures are mainly Jurchens. This was the mature Jurchen who surrendered during the early Liao Dynasty's conquest of the Jurchen tribe. Then, according to the principle of the Liao Dynasty's movement of various ethnic groups, he moved to the western Liao Corridor. The more people died, the better.
Let them attack Yanzhou.
Let these mature Jurchens and child Jurchens flow to each other in this small town.
"Another one, the Liao army killed one Jurchen head and rewarded one hundred guan, and the dead would give their family a pension of fifty guan. It would be said that I said that if it was not fulfilled later, I, Wang Yuetian, would hit thunder. Those who climbed Yanzhou first would receive three thousand guan, and those who died would receive one thousand guan, and those who killed one thousand guan, and those who captured the silver skills would also receive three thousand guan, and those who were strong and one thousand guan, and five hundred guan."
Wang Yue said immediately.
Well, you can’t rely solely on Chizhanghui!
Chi Zhanhui does not care about death. As long as he can win Wang Yue's favor, his wealth depends on embracing Wang Yue's thighs, not the population of his subordinates.
But his subordinates may not be willing to work hard!
Who can't fool people on the battlefield?
But with these rewards, it is probably possible that these guys can attack wildly. After all, they are still very poor here. After Chi Zhanhui surrendered to Aguda in history, only 15,000 stones of corn were found in the four states to flatter the latter. Now the price of corn here is always a stone of copper coins, and one level of beheading is 100 stones. Almost a family here earns three years of gross income. Why are these guys not crazy?
So what about the elite Jurchen elites of Silver Skill?
Who is not the Jurchens?
"The enemy is coming!"
Yue Fei suddenly said.
Wang Yue immediately raised his head and looked at the black light reflected in the distance.
The bow, arrow, crooked horse is retreating.
Behind them, the enemy infantry launched another attack, but this time they launched a shield chariot that was obviously rushing to make, and the main attack direction became the square formation on the left, and the cavalry formed a formation opposite the square formation on the right.
"I learned it very quickly!"
Wang Yue said.
With his eyesight, he quickly saw the true appearance of the shield chariots. In fact, the sawed logs were made of wheels, and the shield walls lined up with logs were erected on wooden racks. Then the suicide squad pushed the shield chariot in front, and the iron pagoda was obviously still behind. However, there were a lot fewer spearmen, but the number of archers increased significantly. He was preparing to push the shield chariot to block the large gun shot, and then the archers played close shooting and increased the armored soldiers' assault. The previous shield could not block the bullets, but the wooden wall of this kind of shield chariot could.
At least it should be possible.
After all, the large gun is a short pipe, and in fact it is not as powerful as the Franchise machine. It is because the caliber is large and the initial velocity is low, at least the large shotgun should not break the shield car.
Stone bombs can.
But the fire rate of the big gun is also very sloppy.
Our Qing Dynasty style may be useful.
"Rubbish!"
Wang Yue said contemptuously.
Indeed, this set was totally rubbish for him.
The shield chariot of our Qing Dynasty works because the Ming army's infantry was slag. It would easily break if it hits, but the shield chariot hits the Sichuan and Zhejiang Army but is useless. His subordinates are no worse than the Sichuan and Zhejiang Army, and he also has special weapons...
"Larsa!"
Changsheng Army sentry chief Cheng Min looked at the approaching shield car with contempt, and evaluated the enemy with words that were different from the King of Zhongshan but had the same meaning.
Well, this is the one who was described as fierce by Han Shizhong when he was young. He had to avoid one's head. When he was tamed by the civil service system in his old age, he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, but he was promoted to the title and became a Grand Marshal. He died in his eighties under the eleven sons.
But he is still young now.
At this time, the forward of the shield car had arrived at the Jima, but they were obviously prepared. The suicide squad followed behind rushed out. They were wearing triple armor, which was difficult to walk. However, their duty was not to charge, but to pull off the Jima and fill the trench and clear an attack passage in front of the shield car. However, this work was equivalent to suicide, because the big guns were replaced with large shotguns and aimed at them to spray flames. The three armors could not stop two taels of shotguns.
No need to penetrate.
Even if you hit the subsonic speed, you will die!
The suicide squad without shield chariot protection instantly died in an instant, but they obviously had no way out. These were not the Han army before, but the Goryeo people. Their families were all in the hands of the Jurchens. The Jurchens wanted them to spread an attack channel with their lives and they could only do it. In the wild shooting of the shotgun, they screamed and wailed, and struggled to remove the rebel horses and fill the trench while they were falling down. In fact, it was more like filling them with their dead bodies. Fortunately, the fire rate of those big guns was limited, and the three-eyed guns and crossbows could not penetrate them, so they still had a chance.
And the soldiers of the Changsheng Army here just watched their death under the bombardment of a large gun.
In the end they succeeded.
A twenty-square-wide passage was filled out, and then before the remaining Goryeo suicide squad retreated, the shield car that had been waiting for had rushed forward. Because the passage was not wide, the shield car was almost densely packed with fish scales and arranged through this passage.
"Come with me!"
Chengshousheng roared.
Then he rushed out of the formation with a special weapon.
Just as Cheng Min rushed out, another soldier rushed out, but he held a large shield in his hands to protect his whistle captain, and a torch was inserted into the shield.
On both sides of him, hundreds of soldiers of the same combination rushed out.
In a blink of an eye, they stood in front of the formation and stopped at the same time two meters away from the spear forest.
The shield soldiers pulled out the torches as quickly as possible and ignited the weapons in Cheng Min's hand. At this time, the shield chariots on the opposite side were less than five meters apart. The crossbowmen behind the shield chariot raised their crossbows and shot sharp arrows. The wooden feather arrow shot through the shield and hit their plate armor. There were even javelins throwing javelins. This was also powerful, and many soldiers were even hit. However, the rest ignored these attacks and carried the ignited weapons in their hands like Cheng Min, and threw them at the shield chariot with all their strength.
These porcelain bottles with burning fuses draw spectacular arcs in the night sky, passing through the forwards of the shield car, and then falling into the shield car behind them.
The next moment they turned into balls of flames...
"Ma, the No. 3 tank can't stand this, let alone the wooden shield car!"
Wang Yue said on the tower mountain.
Indeed, what kind of shield car can withstand the moor bottle!
Chapter completed!
