The Heavens: Starting from Traveling through Song Qingshu

Chapter 61 Times have changed!

At noon, Jinling guard Wu Da was on the top of the city wall, eating roast mutton and drinking wine with all the commanders under his command, holding Han women in his arms, and kneading their delicate parts from time to time.

Although the scout did not return for a long time, it made him somewhat uneasy.

But this anxiety only lasted for a moment before being forgotten.

There are still 3 defenders in Jinling City, including more than [-] cavalry. With such a force, he is sure that he can repel any invading enemy!

Boom! !
Suddenly, two gunshots came from a distance, and then, the ground began to shake violently.

Wu Da got up quickly and looked out of the city.In his field of vision, the distant horizon and the sky seemed to have dimmed.

There, a black torrent poured in like a tide. The torrent of cavalry wearing iron armor and holding spears was like a god of death walking in the world. The corpses of their Mongol warriors.

"The rebels are coming, the rebels are coming!"

There were noisy and chaotic roars everywhere, and even the defenders on the top of the city began to panic.

They have been stationed in Jinling City for many years since the Great Yuan came to dominate the Central Plains to unify the world, and they have not experienced any large-scale wars.

"What are you afraid of? Since when have I, a Dayuan warrior, been afraid?"

Uda scolded angrily, and directly ordered: "Order the cavalry battalion to leave the city, and defeat the enemies who will commit crimes in the future!"

The order was issued, and not long after, the city gate slowly opened, and then, teams of Mongolian cavalry rushed out with sabers on their waists and bows and crossbows on their shoulders.

The Mongolian generals had an almost superstitious belief in the cavalry, thinking that no matter how powerful the enemy was, they would all be trampled into scum in front of their Yuan cavalry!

On this side, the Mongolian cavalry began to line up outside the city. On the other side, the Hangzhou Army under Song Xuan's command, tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers had already built a wooden bridge on the moat.

A row of pikemen and gunmen began to cross the river at a constant speed, and set up an army formation on the other side of the river.

Song Xuan sat in the middle army, looked at the Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side, and said with a smile: "The Mongols claim to be invincible in field battles. Today, let them understand that the cavalry they are so proud of is outdated!"

As he spoke, he issued an order, "Suppress the artillery fire and support the infantry to cross the river!"

The orderly soldiers waved the command flag one by one, and the general's order was conveyed.

then,

Boom boom boom! ! !
The roar of the artillery resounded through the sky, and the next moment, thick smoke billowed from the battlefield, blood and flesh splashed, and many Yuan Dynasty cavalrymen and horses became a pool of flesh and blood.

At this moment, Yuan army general Wu Da finally understood what fire suppression is.

In the bandit artillery battalion opposite, hundreds of cannons were fired in an orderly manner, and the shells poured out like they don’t want money. Any cavalry they encountered along the way within the trajectory of the shells were all blasted out of meat.
Uda frantically gave orders, don't care about the formation, charge, charge quickly!

He knows better than anyone else the virtues of the Han people. Regardless of the power of firearms, it is only temporary. As long as the cavalry brigade rushes to the front, the Han army will immediately collapse.

At that time, it will be the time for the Mongols to raise their sabers high and easily harvest heads!
It has to be said that the Mongolian cavalry has been able to traverse the Eurasian continent for hundreds of years, and it has indeed gained something.

If it were an ordinary army, it would have already collapsed and retreated after being bombarded by hundreds of artillery pieces.

But these Yuan Dynasty cavalry were different. The roar of the artillery and the splashing of flesh and blood did not break their courage, but completely aroused the fierceness in these people's bones.

None of them retreated, but lashed their horsewhips crazily, facing the ear-piercing roar of artillery fire, and began to charge forward continuously!
In a short distance of three or four miles, the Yuan army left behind thousands of corpses, but they screamed and wept with joy, and finally rushed through the range covered by the artillery fire of the enemy army on the opposite side.

"Warriors, next, it's time for us to harvest!" A Yuan army commander shouted excitedly, looking at the Hangzhou army opposite him, as if he saw the military medals walking one by one.

On the other side, Song Xuan, who was in charge of the central army, also chuckled, "The artillery fire is suspended, and the fire battalion is starting to harvest!"

The formation had already been set up, aiming the black firecrackers at the enemy's firecrackers, and with the order to fire, they frantically pulled the trigger!
Bang bang bang.
There were bursts of white smoke coming out of the black firecrackers, and as the smoke billowed, hundreds of cavalrymen of the Yuan Dynasty rushed to the front, and the horses under them suddenly had blood holes the size of bowls, and then let out a shriek. With a wailing sound, he fell to the ground and struggled in pain.

The cavalry charged quickly, but the horse suddenly fell down. The cavalry on the horse didn't even react, and they were thrown out one by one. After rolling down on the ground for several meters, they passed out covered in blood.

This is simply the scene of a large-scale rollover. Some Mongolian cavalrymen who were lucky enough to survive stumbled and struggled to get up. Before they had time to react, they were knocked into the air by the cavalry rushing up behind them, trampled, and then reduced to a puddle of mud.

This terrible and fierce firecracker attack immediately caused great commotion in the Yuan army.

The power of the firecracker seems to be far inferior to that of the cannon fire, but the killing speed is simply astonishing.

This is not the scariest thing, after the first row of firecrackers fired their guns, they squatted down and began to skillfully load the fixed gunpowder, while the second row of firecrackers hardly needed any orders from the commander, they were very skilled Fire, aim, shoot!

Bang bang bang!
The dense rain of firecrackers came, and the second batch of Mongolian cavalry who had just rushed out of the artillery baptism fell off their horses one by one in a sluggish shape before they even had time to cheer and shout.

Even though they were wearing chain mail and cotton armor, they were still powerless against the terrifying firecrackers of the Hangzhou Army. There was still a huge blood hole clearly showing on their chests, and they were killed on the spot!

The second row of firecrackers retreated after finishing shooting, and the third row of firecrackers strode forward. The black firecrackers hole opened again and aimed at the stunned Mongolian cavalry ahead.

Ignite, aim, shoot, and the skilled movements are completed within three to four seconds, and then, there is another burst of firecracker strikes!

Just after they finished fighting and retreated, another row of firecrackers stepped forward, raised their firecrackers, and once again aimed at the Tartar cavalry in front of them with their black muzzles.

On this day, the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty experienced for the first time what dimensionality reduction strikes are.

They never imagined that human life can be so fragile, just a small gunpowder, and the opposite side only needs to pull the trigger with Gogou's hand, and they can harvest the lives of their Dayuan warriors!

Uda's face was pale, and he seemed to have forgotten to breathe.

Those are all imperial cavalry in armor and known for their bravery!

In the end, it was worthless and died easily!

Not to mention that the Mongols were completely baffled, even Song Yuanqiao and the others beside Song Xuan were stunned.

They knew that the Hangzhou army was definitely not weak, but it was so strong that it exceeded their expectations.

Only Song Xuan, who seemed to have expected it long ago, looked at the wave after wave of Mongolian cavalrymen who died under the intensive attack of firecrackers, and said lightly: "The times have changed, and the era of grassland people singing and dancing has come!"
