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

Chapter 413 Blocked

"Get ready." Delbatu told the Mongolian army to prepare to move. After all, the Mongols are famous for their movement speed.

Can shoot left and right.

The Song army continued to press forward.

One hundred and twenty steps.

"Song people are really not afraid of death." Delbatu also laughed ferociously. He raised his sword high, ready to order the charge and then shoot.

The Mongolian army is the most experienced in fighting infantry. This kind of Song army infantry has no shields, no spears, and no carriages in front of them. It is simply giving away their lives.

At this time, Delbatu saw that the new weapons of the Song Army were useless, and he thought they were some new-style spears.

Just when he was about to order a charge, there was a roar, and the entire Song army stopped.

Then the first row of Song troops squatted down one after another.

What kind of tactic is this? Delbatu looked confused. He held the knife high and forgot to swing it.

Before he could react, bang bang bang, Song Jun started the first round.

At this time, the target of the Song Army's flintlock guns was very low, but the target was target shooting, and the battle was a battle.

The Mongolian army on the opposite side was densely packed with tall people and large horses, so the Song army could just shoot at the line of the horse's head. Even if the projectile missed the target and could not hit the front row, it would still have a chance to float to the back row.

I saw white smoke billowing from the scene, people on the opposite side were overturned, and from time to time someone screamed and fell to the ground.

Many people in the Mongolian army didn't know what happened. They only heard a burst of explosions and saw a puff of white smoke. Some of them fell off their horses. Sometimes they fell down together with the people and horses, which meant that the horses were hit.

"What kind of firearm is this?" Delbatu could tell at a glance that it was a new type of firearm.

The Mongolian elites who fought him from such a long distance fell off their horses one after another.

"Bang bang bang" sounded from the second row and then from the third row.

Countless Mongolian troops fell from their horses at the scene.

Being hit by a flintlock was much more serious than being hit by an arrow.

Someone on the battlefield can be hit by dozens of arrows and it won't be a big deal and they can continue to fight, but it is impossible for someone to be hit by dozens of arrows and still stand.

The effect of the first three-stage attack was actually not very strong. Nearly 2,100 shots were fired, and two to three hundred people (cavalry) were knocked down at a distance of 120 steps. On average, only one shot was hit by nearly 10 shots. , some of them were shot by war horses, and suffered minor injuries. There must not be many serious injuries, maybe not even one tenth.

But this was the first time that the flintlock gun appeared in front of this Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army was a little confused.

Moreover, the Mongolian army in Delbatu was not large, only more than a thousand people. Suddenly, two to three hundred horsemen were dismounted, completely clearing the Mongolian army's formation.

Delbatu himself was dumbfounded, staring at the white smoke in front of him, dumbfounded.

When the white smoke slowly dissipated, he discovered that Song Jun had reloaded his ammunition and moved ten steps closer.

Only then did he realize, no, is this the Song Army's new firearm? It seems more powerful than bows and arrows?

Just when he thought about bows and arrows, whoosh, whoosh, there were more archers than fusiliers behind the Song Army's fusilier formation.

There were already a small number of bows and arrows, and without waiting for the order, seeing that the distance was about the same, they had already shot over.

"Charge, charge, charge directly." Delbatu didn't think about any glancing shots at this time, and rushed directly to kill the Song army.

As soon as his mind became hot, the Mongolian troops rushed towards him.

This Mongolian army only numbered more than a thousand people. They had just been hit by flintlock guns, and there were still about a thousand left.

As soon as the Mongolian army accelerated, Zhang Neng and Du Yuhai looked at each other. Zhang Neng wanted to signal Du Yuhai's fusiliers to retreat, but Du Yuhai didn't react at all.

Zhang Neng didn't say anything, and after seeing someone shooting freely, he immediately waved his hand: "All archers, shoot freely."

"shoot."

The Song army also had more than two thousand archers.

The Song army's infantry bows followed the flintlock guns and also shot arrows freely.

An overwhelming rain of arrows covered the Mongolian army.

This wave of arrows has a hit rate of about one-tenth, and most of them miss. However, the archers shoot fast and can continuously throw the arrows. The Mongolian army will be shot continuously on the way to charge.

After three consecutive rounds of bow and arrow shooting, the first row of the Song Army's second round started with "bang bang bang".

At this time, the Mongolian army had already rushed within eighty steps.

The closer the distance, of course, the higher the hit rate.

The metal storm roared, and more Mongolian soldiers fell off their horses.

Bang bang bang, Song Jun's second round, second row, and third row started successively.

When we reached the third row, the scene was still very spectacular. The distance between the two sides was even closer. The projectiles were like steel storms. The cavalry seemed to have rushed into an invisible iron wall. With a rumble, groups of Mongolian troops fell heavily.

After the second round of fighting, the Mongolian army only entered within 60 steps of the Song army.

There was no way, they had just increased their speed from more than a hundred steps away, and increasing their speed was also a process.

Moreover, the rain of arrows from the Song Army never stopped.

Delbatu was shrewd and did not lead the charge himself. He had been watching the battle from behind, and he was horrified to find out at this time.

After the second round of the Song Army's flintlock fire, coupled with the Song Army's continuous rain of arrows, when the Mongolian Army's nearly 1,000 cavalry rushed within 60 steps of the Song Army, less than half of them remained.

At this time, the Mongolian army continued to charge forward, and the Song army was still lowering its head to reload.

Song Jun's three-stage attack has not yet been practiced to a continuous and endless cycle, and it is basically several seconds late.

Fifty steps, forty steps.

The Mongolian army increased its speed faster and faster, heading straight towards the Song army.

The Song troops in front were all infantry camps, either with flintlock rifles or archers, and not a single spear and shield soldier.

The war horses of the Song army are all behind.

The Mongolian army charged wildly. As long as they rushed over and scattered the Song army's infantry and cavalry, they could kill them at will.

Meng Qi rushed closer and closer.

The speed is getting faster and faster.

Thirty steps.

Twenty-five steps.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the ground was shaking beneath my feet.

The sound of the charge that was almost within reach shook the hearts of all the Song troops in the front row.

Several Song soldiers in the front row were in a panic, and the ammunition in their hands fell to the ground.

The Mongolian army on the opposite side charged too fiercely, and some of the recruits with less combat experience were probably in a panic.

But Du Yuhai stood in the middle of the crowd without any fear. He looked from side to side from time to time, and many people had already raised their flintlock guns.

Some people were still nervously loading ammunition, and some were shaking with their hands holding their guns because the Mongolian army was charging too close. During the training, the Mongolian army was not mentioned to be charging so far forward. During the training, it was said that there were gun shield soldiers and carriage tops. in front of.

If the Song Army hadn't been well-trained, many recruits would have abandoned their guns and ran to both sides.

Twenty steps.

"Free fire, hit." Du Yuhai shouted quickly.

The Mongolian forwards had already advanced within twenty steps of the fusiliers.

"Bang bang bang!" As soon as Du Yuhai's voice fell, the flag bearers on the side didn't even have time to wave, and the gunmen beside Du Ruhai couldn't wait to fight out.

Then there was a chain reaction on the scene, bang bang bang.

White smoke billowed and gunfire continued. Hitting it at such a close distance was another pile of invisible steel walls.

Boom, boom, the harder the forward charged, the harder the Mongolian army fell.

About half of this wave of Song troops were beaten out, while the other half had no time to fight, and some of them had not loaded their ammunition.

When the Mongolian army rushed into the Song army's formation, there were probably more than a hundred cavalry, and more than half of these hundred cavalry were only horses, with no people, and all the people were killed on the way to the charge.

With a bang, the cavalry tore through the fusiliers' formation like swords, and dozens of fusiliers on the scene were knocked away.

There were a large number of archers from the Song army behind.

The Mongolian army continued to charge forward, and some archers were also knocked down.

The Song army's formation was not tight, and there was no spear formation in front, which made it much easier for the Mongolian cavalry to rush into the infantry camp.

But it is a pity that the Mongolian army is too small.

Thousands of Mongolian cavalry rushed up and were hit three times by the Song army's flintlock guns, especially the last round at close range. It was a pity that about half of the fusilier gunners did not have time to hit them, because it was the first time Du was on the battlefield. Yu Hai pretended not to use spears and shields to push forward. The Song Army's fusiliers were nervous, otherwise the Mongolian army would have been all horses rushing in, and there would have been no people.

Despite this, the charge of just over a hundred cavalry had little impact on the Song army's formation.

And there are more Song troops and horses behind them.

More than a thousand Mongolian troops in Delbatu charged from a hundred steps away. After rushing into the Song army's formation with flintlock guns and arrows all the way, there were only more than a hundred horses left, half of which had no one on the horse. Those who actually rushed in The Mongolian army only has fifty or sixty people.

On the way to the charge, the Song army suffered almost no losses.

But after the Mongolian army rushed in, the Song army was overturned by hundreds of people.

But the Mongolian army was limited to this.

Behind them are more Song troops and war horses, and another thousand fusiliers from Du Yuhai are preparing.

Du Yuhai had just brought over 3,000 fusiliers, and 1,000 of them first dealt with everyone's war horses, and then gathered behind them.

Not long after the Mongolian army, who were less than 50 to 60 years old, rushed in, they encountered three columns of gunmen.

"Damn it." You Mengjun screamed.

Bang bang bang, there was loud gunfire.

Not only were the thousand fusiliers fighting, but Du Yuhai's subordinates, who had been pushed away from the front, also turned around and started fighting again.

The Mongolian army was almost surrounded by fusiliers.

"Squat down, squat down." Zhang Neng signaled his Song troops to squat down one after another.

But some of his men didn't squat at all and were still shooting arrows.

There was a loud bang and a hail of arrows. After a while, the number of Mongolian troops on horseback became fewer and fewer.

When the white smoke disappeared, there was almost no Mongolian soldier left on horseback.

"God of Immortality." Delbatu couldn't believe his eyes when he saw this.

Song Jun's long black weapon was an unknown weapon. It was so sharp, especially the last salvo, he could see it clearly.

Only about half of the flintlock guns on the opposite side were fired, because white smoke could be seen from the fired flintlock guns, and the most Mongolian cavalry were knocked off their horses in the last round.

The closer the distance, the more powerful the firearm on the other side.

At this time, he looked around in disbelief, surrounded by stunned confidants.

He gathered more than a thousand horses in front and behind to stop the Song army from blocking the gate. Just now, except for a dozen of his close soldiers, all the others rushed up, and the entire army was wiped out in the blink of an eye.

"It's over." Unable to stop it, Delbatu turned back and looked at the city gate. At this time, he estimated that there were seven or eight thousand people coming out of the city, and there were more who had not come out. The key is that there are nearly one thousand people within these seven or eight thousand miles. He gathered thousands of cavalry to fight the Song army here.

Now that the Song Army has defeated all the troops he gathered, he will not be able to recruit more troops in a short time.

"嚅" At this time, a new group of Mongolian cavalry rushed over from behind. Two to three hundred cavalry had just ran out of the city. When they saw that there was no one on the side of Delbatu, and there were endless Song troops on the opposite side, they hurried over.

"That Yan?" the Mongolian general asked Delbatu, what should we do now? He kept looking behind him, meaning to ask if more people needed to be gathered?

It's too late to gather them together.

The Song army on Du Yuhai's side loaded their bombs on the spot, pressed forward, and started to trot.

"Let's go." Without thinking, Delbatu turned the horse's head and drove.

He no longer took care of the Mongolian troops in the city and ran north directly.

As soon as he ran forward, the Mongolian army on the other side was fighting with the Song army on the other side. When he saw Delbatu running away, he ran away quickly, otherwise he would be attacked from both sides.

It was better now. The Mongolian troops outside the city fled in all directions. Du Yuhai's people ran within fifty steps of the city gate, only to see a steady stream of Mongolian troops running out of the city.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Du Yuhai shouted: "Stand wherever you want, block it, block it first."

The Song army blocked the front in a chaotic manner, and then pointed their guns at the city gate.

Some Mongolian soldiers wanted to rush out when they saw the Song army blocking the door.

Bang bang bang, there was constant gunfire at the scene, and the people at the city gate fell on their backs, and then more Song Army archers also shot at the city gate.

There were endless screams inside the city gate, and the fallen men and horses quickly blocked the city gate.

In the first few rounds, there were still some scattered Mongolian knights who were lucky enough to rush out, but after two rounds of flintlocks and several rounds of arrows, there were too many dead and wounded people and horses outside the city gate, which directly blocked the city gate.

The Mongolian cavalry in the city also saw that it was almost impossible to rush out. The Song troops outside did not know that the new firearms were too powerful, so they ran to the top of the city one after another, and then shot the Song troops with arrows from the top of the city.

The Song army retreated eighty steps away and continued to shoot at the city gate.

Some daring Mongolian soldiers were still running out desperately and had to step over their dead and wounded colleagues.

But fewer and fewer people can come out, and more and more people are lying on the ground.

I don't know when, buzzing, the city gate finally closed, and the Mongolian army knew that they could not rush out, at least it would be difficult for a large group of Mongolian cavalry to rush out.

"Drive, drive." Delbatu led hundreds of horses and fled northward like crazy, looking back while escaping.

On both sides of Dingzhou City, Song troops were appearing continuously, seemingly endlessly.

Damn the Song Dynasty people, Delbatu cursed in his heart. The Song Dynasty people are always so shameless, beating them whenever they want without saying hello first.

He was escaping northward when suddenly a black shadow appeared on the northern horizon.

Delbatu was startled at first, and then looked at it carefully. Fortunately, it was one of his own.

More and more people came to the opposite side. After a while, when Delbatu approached, he saw Natu'er coming up with a large group of Mongolian cavalry.

The two sides met three miles outside Dingzhou City.

"Can we still fight? How many Song troops have come?" Natu'er gathered a group of people who escaped from the city first and prepared to turn around and rescue some people.

"How many people do you have here?" Delbatu took a quick look.

Natu'er said that he had gathered more than 4,000 riders, which was considered a relatively large number, and more and more escaped Meng riders were gathering towards them.

Delbatu thought about how the Song army had only a few thousand horses and horses, and they were all used as infantry. There was still a chance.

"Go back and have a look. You can try to fight." The two men answered and immediately ran back to the north gate with the Mongolian army.

As a result, two miles away from the north gate, a large number of Song army spearmen were seen gathering at the outermost edge holding large shields. This was obviously to prepare for the Mongolian army's counterattack.

The two men took a look around the perimeter with thousands of Mongolian cavalry, and saw more and more Song troops. After the pikemen gathered, there were carriages pulling over from further away.

This was not easy to fight. The Song army's spear-shield soldiers and carriages were in front, but the Mongolian army did not dare to attack.

The two of them were silent at the same time.
