Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 539 That's it?

"These new soldiers from the Song Dynasty were able to defeat the Jurchens, which is indeed different from the previous Great Song and Western Army.

wrong!There should be a huge gap, the fighting spirit alone is too strong~"

When Hou San, the legendary head of the new army with a severed arm, sang first; then all the third army plus a group of civilians, a total of 5 people sang "" Song of Victory by Yan Yan".

The huge sound waves seemed to be able to suppress the loud hooves of the horses as they rushed straight into the sky.

In the mouth of Li Ganshun, the current emperor of Xixia, a sentence was whispered in such a low voice.

Yes, that's right!
After stepping into the Hetao Plain, Lao Hei, Big Yu, and the warriors who fought Xixia for the first time were preparing to welcome them. They didn't know that even Li Qianshun, an enemy chieftain, appeared on the battlefield at this moment.

It's just that this person didn't directly join the charge battle.

Under the protection of a group of iron kite cavalry, he is now staying on a hill about five or six miles away from the battlefield, watching the battle in front of him with great interest.

Thinking about it carefully, Li Qianshun's appearance here is not incomprehensible at all.

It can even be said that it is very logical.

It has been almost a hundred years since the founding of Xixia, and a proper intelligence network has been established in Song Dynasty, especially in the surrounding areas.

Every move of the third army, where they marched every day, could not escape their grasp at all.

As for the new army of the Song Dynasty, such an army that can be said to have never been in contact with at all, Li Qianshun and others heard all kinds of rumors about how powerful they are.

In fact, it has never had any substantial contact with it.

Now that the third army is coming, they naturally want to take a good look at how good the legendary Song Xinjun is.

It is better to make some adjustments according to the actual situation.

Of course, such an adjustment refers to how to deal with the new court of the Song Dynasty, and how Hu Yitong, a powerful official, should deal with this aspect.

For such an army of no more than [-] regular soldiers, plus a mere [-] civilian husbands.

This time, the entire Xixia army was mobilized, and half of them were put into the Linzhou battlefield. Li Ganshun, who had almost six times the strength advantage.

Such a partial teacher has never really been taken seriously.

Even prepared to swallow them in this battle.

But soon after, in this so-called trial operation, he let that unexpected process and result completely change his mind...

*******
The cavalry leading the Xixia side, that is, the mercenaries composed of Tubo people, Gaochang people, and Kerai people, rushed to a position about 300 meters in front of the chariot formation.

In the car formation, there was a roar of 'fire~', which was yelled loudly with a long tone.

no way!Even the Lang Qing and the soldiers of the Ministry of Industry have tried their best to cast Napoleon field guns of various calibers since the first battle in Zhuxian Town.

But the amount cast was barely enough to form two artillery divisions.

When the two artillery divisions were all put into the most important Yanjing battlefield, the artillery that the third army could get was about a hundred small Frang machine guns mounted on new carts.

The range of this thing is only one mile.

In order to pursue a killing effect, it is only possible to fire at such a distance.

Immediately, more than 100 iron pellets, which were only the size of duck eggs, were propelled by the gunpowder, and greeted those mercenaries who didn't even have much armor.

Soon after, there were seventy or eighty riders, as if they had hit an invisible wall of air, and were overturned on the ground on the spot.

It's a pity that, compared to the huge force of the Xixia people who are currently rushing over, it is not even a fraction.

In addition, these Xixia people obviously heard from the Jin people that the firearms of the Song army were powerful.

They also used firecrackers and small explosives to train their horses in advance. Under the sound of the cannons, these horses were not even frightened.

Combining the above, naturally it cannot be said that morale has been greatly affected.

After seeing such a scene, Zhang Dabang, nicknamed 'Black King Kong', tightly clenched his hand, a ghost knife that he had used for many years.

I couldn't help but spit out a sentence in my mouth:
"Hu Xianggong is also too partial. Our third army was not raised by a maid, so why is there such a big difference."

For such a small deputy to have such a huge resentment towards Hu Xiang who is aloof, not only is their third army not equipped with large-caliber artillery, nor is it equipped with the legendary rockets.

It is another killer feature, 'swarm of bees', which is to use a box to hold some sharp arrows and use gunpowder as a drive.

As long as it is ignited, the gunpowder weapon that will be shot out together with a "swish~" is temporarily reserved and cannot be used because of the strict order of Mr. Hei and others.

Otherwise, how could these dirty-looking Gaochang people, Tubo people, and Kerai people rush forward?
In this way, amidst Zhang Dabang's complaints, a group of cavalry rushed closer and closer.

And those small Frang machine guns, after firing two rounds of solid shells in a row, finally switched to shotguns and fired when the cavalry rushed within a hundred meters.

In addition, after reaching such a distance, because most of the targets in front of them have no armor.

The musketeers who stood or crouched behind the wooden wall of the car formation also pulled the brown Beth muskets in their hands one after another, and fired at the opponent who dared to form a dense formation.

What needs to be explained is that in the current battle that relies on the defense of the car formation.

A group of musketeers didn't use any kind of three-stage attack, and retreated to reload after firing a shot.

Instead, after emptying the musket in his hand, he passed it behind him, and took the musket that was loaded in the back by the way.

Pick up, aim, fire, and change guns, and so on.

As for Zhang Dabang and his old brothers, what are these volunteer soldiers doing?
These ex-heroes with stronger close combat abilities, of course, are waiting, waiting for those Xixia people to rush into the car formation, it is time for them to show their skills.

But it seems that they have no chance today.

Because even if it was because of Lao Hei and others, they thought about using that "swarm of bees" rocket as the most important trump card, and they suppressed it and didn't use it.

When the white smoke representing the firing of the small Frang machine and the brown Beth musket in the car formation began to rise.

After the dense steel balls and lead bullets greeted those so-called mercenaries in the past, they used to hold up a simple leather shield and wooden shield in the battles with the Song and Western Army in the past. The guys in the Song Dynasty.

He was horrified to find that a large number of fellow tribes around him fell off the horse one by one.

That is to say, relying on the speed of the horse, and being stunned for a while, he didn't react at all, and continued to charge forward by relying on inertia.

But with every advance, more and more people were killed or injured.

In the end, when some grenadiers behind the convoy received the order, they were just ready to throw the grenade, and they didn't really pull the fuse.

Those mercenaries who rushed to the front of the chariot formation, more than thirty steps away.

Finally, he reacted under the terrifying firepower of the opponent and the tired casualties of his own side.

It didn't matter that the horn sounded to represent the retreat; they just pulled their horses to the left and right, and began to flee desperately.

For those who participated in the battle just for some money, food and supplies, they felt that there was really no need to send their lives here.

They are poor, yes, but not stupid.

Therefore, this so-called attack by the Xixia people to test the quality of the new army of the Song Dynasty ended hastily at the beginning.

Their hard work left quite a few arrows on the thick wooden planks of the chariot formation.

And by a very coincidence, the arrows that flew in through the shooting hole wounded a dozen or so musketeers, and there was no result at all.

On the contrary, these so-called mercenaries have already fallen more than 2000 people in a very short period of time before the car formation.

Haven't played much yet, and the opponent is defeated?
Such a huge sense of gap made them all ready for a fight to the death, ready to risk their lives to win the big list of a wife and son.

After being dazed for a while, he didn't react.

In the end, after those embarrassing opponents escaped three or four miles away, they cursed bitterly, which is said to be a mantra of a certain gentleman:

"What the hell! That's it..."
