In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 241 Song Jun's Cannons Are So Powerful

Rumbling, in the sound of horseshoes, the surrounding sand was flying, and the cavalry swept across.

Ten thousand elites rushed to the Song army formation from the front and two sides at the same time.

Shi Tianlu's subordinates are all Han soldiers, and their cavalry and archery are far behind that of the Mongolian gold men, and they mainly rely on charging.

The infantry on the opposite side was about the same number as him, and the formation was not strict. Shi Tianlu was rude and immediately launched an attack.

Depending on the situation, decide whether to rush or not.

The [-] cavalry ran earth-shattering and dusty.

Four hundred steps.

Three hundred steps.

Two hundred steps.

After entering two hundred steps, the Mongolian army began to speed up.

The horse's hooves became faster and heavier.

The whole earth seemed to tremble.

On the opposite side, Tian Shirong looked back at the deputy commander Xu Bu from time to time.

Xu Bu came from the capital, he could read a lot of words, and he knew more about soldiers and horses than him, at least he understood the strengths and tactics of his own soldiers and horses.

So even though Tian Shirong was leading the army, Tian Shirong was still willing to listen to Xu Bu's opinion on the battlefield.

Xu Bu didn't make a sound in front of him until the Mongolian army had entered two hundred paces before he said loudly: "The Mongolian army is all Han army, without hard armor, don't panic, close the formation--"

"Closing the formation——" Following Xu Bu's voice, the sound of closing the formation was raised everywhere, and soon large flags were waved in several different places in the formation, and then another horn sounded.

The voices of officers at all levels plus the sound of banners and horns reminded us that the various units of the Song Army changed very quickly.

So under Shi Tianlu's incredulous eyes, Song Jun's formation seemed to let out a sigh of relief, from a big fat man to a small thin man quickly.

About 500 people in the front row originally stood at a width of about 600 meters, but suddenly shrunk to a width of about 300 meters, directly losing half of their weight.

Song Jun kept running towards the middle and back, and quickly changed into people leaning on each other, shoulder to shoulder, and the original fast and loose formation suddenly compressed extremely tightly.

"Grass" Shi Tianlu was furious, he had never seen such a fast and stable army.

The loose formation of the Song army seemed to be designed to lure them into a strong attack. When they saw the Mongolian army charging, they immediately shrunk their formation.

But they are also known as the Mongolian army, although the entire army is Han.

Shi Tianlu waved his hand fiercely, and the surrounding flags were flying, and soon, rumbling, the Mongolian army began to divide and plunder on both sides after entering within a hundred steps.

There is a gap between their riding skills and the real Mongols.

The Mongols can sweep away to both sides within twenty steps.

The Han army riding requires more space to turn, so after entering a hundred steps, it starts to turn and sweeps both sides.

Whoosh, whoosh, Song Jun on the other side is not polite, and the bow of the god arm has already flown into the crowd.

People at the scene turned their backs on their backs, and some people fell from their horses from time to time.

Shi Xingzu, who was in the middle of the attack, carefully controlled his speed and did not dare to get too close, while swimming outside the Song army's formation with his soldiers and horses to check for flaws.

At this time, the Mongolian army circled the Song army at about a hundred paces, and did not rush forward.

Song Jun stayed still, shooting the bow of the god arm at will.

Shi Xingzu quickly saw clearly that there were six or seven rows of pikemen on the outermost perimeter of the Song army, all holding large shields, and all behind them were crossbowmen.

I probably know that the Mongolian army dare not rush into the battle easily, and the Song army's god-arm bow and hard crossbow are relatively slow, and they obviously intend to take good aim.

Although they are moving targets, people are shot down from time to time.

He was thinking about how to break through the formation when a messenger suddenly ran behind him.

The orderly approached him and said something loudly, then ran to the other side.

After a while, the Mongolian army began to try to move forward.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" Amidst the sound of horns, a large group of Mongolian troops plundered horizontally in front of the Song army's formation.

From the first one hundred steps, to eighty steps, seventy steps, fifty steps, thirty steps.

The Mongolian army was still sweeping across, but it was getting closer and closer to the Song army's formation. After entering fifty steps, a stone-hard bow began to shoot first. After entering thirty steps, all kinds of bows shot continuously.

Beng Beng Beng, there was constant sound of arrows on the scene, and both sides were shooting at each other.

But the Mongolian army left after shooting a round, running from thirty steps to fifty steps, seventy steps, one hundred steps, and then turning around.

The two groups of Mongolian troops on the left and right followed the route just now.

Seventy steps, fifty steps, thirty steps.

shoot.

The Mongolian army fired again in the second round.

The Mongolian army shot round after round, and the interval between each shot was relatively long.

The Song army kept shooting one after another, as long as the Mongolian army entered within a hundred steps, all kinds of crossbows would be fired first, and then the bow.

There was almost no shout of killing at the scene, which was completely different from the battle between Peng Yibin and Yan Shi on the other side. Except for the strong sound of horseshoes, the sound of bowstrings and arrows in the air was almost non-stop.

Shi Tianlu has been counting silently in his heart.

One round, two rounds—ten rounds.

The Mongolian army shot five rounds back and forth, and the Song army had already shot more than 30 rounds of arrows.

Moreover, Song Jun shot relatively slowly, obviously maintaining his strength.

At this time, he found that Song Jun's arrows were getting fewer and fewer.

This is not to say that Song Jun was shot and killed by them more people, but that Song Jun's strength was exhausted more and more, and more and more people needed to rest.

The armor rate of the Song army was extremely high, and Shi Tianlu even saw people in the middle and back rows wearing masks.

And their bows of the Han army are not as good as those of the Jin and Mongols, except for within thirty steps, they are not very lethal to the Song army.

Riding and archery was not his strong point, so shooting against Song people like this was just to consume Song's strength.

After about eight rounds of shooting, Shi Tianlu felt that the heat was almost ready, and Song Jun would shoot fewer arrows now.

"The archers of the Song Army have no strength, leave it to me." Shi Tianlu waved loudly.

"rush."

At this time, the horns of the Mongolian army began to change, and a large number of cavalry rushed out and gathered quickly.

Many cavalry in the front row put away their bows and took out their weapons.

Immediately, someone came to ask Shi Tianlu, the Song Army's formation was well-organized and dense, should we wait a little longer?

Shi Tianlu said, Peng Yibin's side has not yet decided the winner, we have to defeat Tian Shirong first, and then we can make great contributions.

Moreover, after so many rounds of arrow shooting, the people of Song Dynasty consumed a lot of energy and were ready to attack.

Can't you keep shooting at Song people here all the time?
They are not as good as the Mongolian army in riding and shooting, and they are obviously at a disadvantage.

If they were not moving targets, they would not be easy to be shot, and there would be more casualties.

The subordinates didn't hum, but once they charged, it was no longer a moving target, it was no different from a fixed target.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" the heavy and long horn sounded slowly.

The Mongolian army first assembled two hundred steps away from the Song army, and then began to speed up.

"Come on." Song Tian also started to yell.

Song Tian turned around and picked up a visor, and put it on his face.

This is what he just got from another battalion, because their battalion changed from the back to the front, and they didn't have time to change positions.

Song Tian himself changed into a new-style helmet with a visor, and quickly put it on his face.

The six or seven platoons of pikemen in front all focused on the Mongolian army.

As soon as the Mongolian army rushed up, Song Tian wanted to scold his mother, because it was obvious that the Mongolian army had more soldiers and horses in the middle, and this was to give priority to the position where their artillery battalion was located.

Lao Tzu and Nun Niang, Song Tian was scolding in his heart, but he shouted in his mouth: "Don't be afraid, you are all descendants of the Song Dynasty, pretending to be a Mongolian army."

"It's all mud legs from the countryside. The armor rate is not as good as ours. There are not many armored ones. Kill them."

"Kill these animals that have forgotten their ancestors."

The soldiers around shouted wildly, killing Han animals.

The opposite side is obviously full of Han Chinese, but they help the Mongolian army to attack them. Under the propaganda of the imperial court, these people are more hateful than the Mongolians.

"Kill." Shi Xingzu also shouted wildly.

"Kill." Song Renyao echoed.

Both sides were loud and bold, and the shouts of killing finally resounded.

The surging cavalry approached like a frenzy.

The front is getting closer,

One hundred steps, eighty steps.

"Beng Beng Beng" the god arm bow shoots first.

then.

Boom, an earth-shattering cannon sound fired the first cannon of the battle between the Song Army and the Mongolian Army.

Shi Xingzu was startled when he heard the sound of the cannon.

Although he knew that there might be cannons on Song Jun's side, he didn't expect the cannons to be so loud.

Then I saw a white smoke in Song Jun's formation.

Then, whoosh, a black shadow flew over like a meteor in the sky.

The cannonballs came very fast and hit quite a distance. Shi Xingzu was already within 150 paces of the Song army, and there were still a large number of cavalry behind him between [-] and [-] paces.

He watched the black cannonball fly over his head, and subconsciously turned his head back.

Plop, I saw the cannon hit about twenty steps behind him.

But I didn't see any fallen horses.

It should be right in the air.

Is this gun useful?Shi Xingzu couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

Out of the corner of his eye just now, he saw that the shells didn't seem very big, and they probably weren't very powerful.

But before he got carried away.

Thirty or forty steps behind him, suddenly Kacha, as if a horse's leg was broken, 嚅, and then the tragic cry of the horse rang out again and again.

Plop, plop, three or four horses rolled to the ground one after another in a line.

After the horse fell to the ground, it rolled over and brought down the other horses around it.

Almost in the blink of an eye, five or six war horses fell down behind him.

It turned out that although the first shot hit the ground, it jumped up and rolled all the way, hitting the legs of two or three horses in a row, and then affecting the nearby horses.

At this time, the Mongolian army who was more than 100 steps away was better. The highest speed was not mentioned.

"Boom, boom, boom." Following the sound of the first cannon, there were more cannons.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, shells shot into the Mongolian army.

The formation of the Mongolian army was relatively dense when they charged. When the artillery came in, it would be better to hit people and horses directly. Usually, only one or two horses would fall down. If they hit the ground and bounced up, they would be the most likely to be injured. .

Shi Xingzu turned his head while running, and was almost shot by an arrow from the god arm bow, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Song Jun's artillery is so powerful." At this moment, a guard beside him shouted at him from a distance.

Shi Xingzu didn't come in time to reply.

Suddenly felt a sway ahead.

Puchi, a cannonball suddenly fell from the air, hitting the guard's head hard.

Shi Xingzu almost watched with his own eyes that the bodyguard with the helmet on his head was torn apart in an instant, and his entire head was blown off.

The shell continued to bounce, flutter, and hit the back of a horse behind.

"嚅..." the horse of the cavalry behind let out a mournful cry, and fell to Shi Xingzu's side.

Shi Xingzu's horse didn't come in time, and at the same time, he felt his body shake and boom, his horse also fell down at the same time, and the two horses collided with each other and fell to the ground at the same time.

After landing, Shi Xingzu rolled over, got up flexibly, first found a safe place, and hid behind the fallen horse.

At the same time, looking up, the cannonball rolled up on the ground, then fluttered again, and after passing one horse by chance, it hit another horse's hoof.

With a bang, the Mongolian army fell down with a crash.

Damn, Shi Xingzu cursed loudly, terrified in his heart that the Song people's cannon is so powerful, and the cannonball is unprecedented for him, it seems to be made of pure iron, not a stone bullet.
