This is all due to the two major alliances of "Fengqi Wutong 626" and "Jie Xi" and the contributions of other book friends. Only with assists can we achieve such a good result. Thank you Jushiro.)
??????????????? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
More than 200 elite members of the First Mixed Brigade of the Tianzhu Army stepped on the stone bridge of the Marco Polo River with majestic steps - on the opposite side, the Jin soldiers boarded the bridge at the same time and advanced towards each other.
The duel begins as the needle points to the Maimang.
The two sides approached to a hundred paces and stopped at the same time. The musketeers of the Tianzhu Army loaded ammunition, and the crossbowmen of the Jin Army cocked their hair.
When the two sides approached eighty steps, the formation of the golden soldiers stopped, and the crossbowmen came out and started shooting.
Ninety percent of the Yanjing Jin Army were Han soldiers from the Yan region, and their leading generals were rebel generals from the Song Dynasty. Therefore, their equipment composition was close to that of the Song Army. They mainly used long-range strikes with bows and crossbows, supplemented by melee combat with swords and guns. Archers and crossbowmen accounted for the entire army. More than 50%. Just like this team of golden soldiers, there are fifty people, fifteen archers, fifteen crossbowmen, and only twenty swordsmen, a ratio of more than 60%.
Fifteen crossbowmen, firing in three rows.
Puff puff puff puff!
The ten sides of the Tianzhu Army's side shields were lined with thickened steel plates, and more or less crossbow arrows were inserted into them. None of the arrows missed or hit the mark.
The distance of eighty steps was still a bit far, so the musketeers calmed down and continued to move forward.
Seventy steps later, the Jin soldiers fired another round of crossbows, but they were still blocked by the closely guarded Tianzhu Army side soldiers.
Sixty steps later, Jin Bing fired his third crossbow.
So close. Even if it is a heavy-duty side plate that is thickened and reinforced, it is difficult to block the powerful shot of the Mahuang Crossbow. The first row of sergeants' side cards had been shot through several times. Fortunately, the arrowhead only penetrated and did not actually hurt anyone.
Fifty steps, Jin Bing is about to launch his fourth crossbow shot.
The first team was clenching their fists, raising their arms, and shaking left and right. The whole team stopped, and then fifteen musketeers quickly stepped forward, placing their muskets on the side cards. The team is holding a command whistle in their mouths. Beep! A sharp whistle sounded.
Bang bang bang bang!
Opposite is the golden crossbowman. As soon as they escaped from the cover of the side cards and were about to shoot, they fell down one after another amidst the gunfire. Some of the projectiles hit the side sign, sending sawdust flying. The iron plate behind the wood was actually exposed - it seemed that Medicine Master Guo and Li Cheng had already prepared. I know that non-iron plates cannot stop projectiles. The cost of Tiepang brand is certainly high. It is impossible to equip a large amount of equipment, but a small amount of equipment can still be used on such a bridge. It's the best.
The crossbowman was brutally shot, and the golden soldiers on the opposite side were shocked and angry, and their formation stopped. Then a voice shouted: "Stick up! The old brothers of the Qingzhou Army cannot die in vain! If we stick up, their muskets will be useless! Kill!"
Under the urging of this voice, Jin Bing roared lowly, stepped over the corpse on the ground, and approached quickly. Although they were moving fast, their formation remained basically intact, showing they were well-trained.
Thirty steps, the second round of shooting. The smoke was rising, the flames were puffing, and the sound of gunshots spread far across the wide river.
Ninety percent of the whizzing projectiles hit the side plate. Large pieces of wood peeled off, revealing a gray-white iron plate. The texture may not necessarily be very good, but it has no problem blocking lead bullets. The clanging sound and the dents on the iron plate proved this.
"Thunderbolt!"
As the team roared loudly, the slingshot flew up, swish, swish, swish! Five thunderbolts flew out.
While the five little black dots were still flying in the air, the loud voice of Jin Bing on the opposite side also shouted: "Raise the sign!"
brush! A neat circular cavalry sign was held high, click, click, click, click, all the thunder bullets hit the sign, and were bounced away, falling into the river on both sides. Only one exploded the moment it hit the water, causing a splash of water more than three feet high, while the rest sank silently to the bottom of the river.
Di Lie, who was watching the battle from a distance on the watchtower, suddenly turned serious - the Jin army was really well prepared! There are countermeasures against muskets and thunderbolts, and they also take advantage of the special terrain of the stone bridge - if there are not rivers on both sides, even if the thunderbolts are deflected, they will still explode nearby, causing unavoidable damage.
The Tianzhu Army and the Jin Army are old rivals. They have fought no less than ten battles, big and small, for four years. They have a good understanding of the Tianzhu Army's firearms. Maybe there is still nothing that can be done about Checheng, but there is a set of countermeasures in forming an array to attack.
The most critical point is that the combat skills and quality of this Jin army are very high, not inferior to the veterans of the Tianzhu Army's first brigade. It should be noted that the action of raising a sign to block bullets may seem simple, but in actual combat, it can be used so skillfully. With one order, hundreds of people can act as one. Without long-term training and strict orders, it is impossible to achieve it.
What kind of army is the Qingzhou Army called by the enemy?
At this time, I was watching from the command podium of our division.Guan Sheng, who was there, hurried over and reported: "Military leader, the Qingzhou Army is Li Cheng's own army, with no more than three hundred soldiers and horses, all of whom are his disciples. They were named because they formed an army in Qingzhou." Guan Sheng fought with them outside the city of Jinan that day. They were strong and well-trained and could be called a strong army."
Di Lie narrowed his eyes: "I see, it seems that Li Cheng has also sacrificed his capital. Well, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. Let's see who is stronger between our Tianzhu Army and the Qingzhou Army."
While talking, the battle on the bridge has entered the stage of fierce hand-to-hand combat. In the fierce close combat, muskets, thunderbolts, and bows and arrows cannot be used. Everything depends on the cooperation of armored spearmen and sword soldiers. .
There are thousands of troops on the entire battlefield, but all the focus is only on this contact surface with only thirty or forty people. This is like the eye of the storm, the center of the whirlpool.
On this narrow bridge, there is not much room to dodge. The gun will block, the knife will block, and then immediately counterattack. The two sides fought closer and closer, and finally collided into a pile. First they hit each other with knives, and then they stabbed each other in the air with spears. When the fight reached a fever pitch, they pushed each other, twisted and fell into the river.
In such a chaotic battle, no one is luckier than anyone else, one knife for the other. What can decide who dies and who lives is the armor's protective power and combat experience. In this regard, the heavily armored spearmen of the Tenchu ??Army have a slight advantage, as they have infantry armor. Like the Iron Kite and the Iron Buddha, it is one of the best infantry armors of this era.
Although the Qingzhou Army was Li Cheng's army, they still couldn't get this top-notch armor. As a result, they were gradually at a disadvantage under this head-to-head protective confrontation. Several people were knocked over by spears in succession, and their swords and spears struck the sky. The side cards and heavy armor of Zhujun only aroused a string of sparks.
Yang Zaixing, who was watching the battle in front of the battle, finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first battle! The opponent was unexpectedly tough. No less than the Jurchen Golden Soldier. fine. The first brigade did not embarrass itself.
The commander of the mixed battalion also breathed a sigh of relief, waved his flag and beat the drums. Signaling for the rear team to press forward.
at the same time. Opposite in front of the Jin Army formation. It¡¯s also the sound of war drums.
Just when the first team of the Jin soldiers was about to collapse, a general jumped out, holding a hammer gun. The hammer struck everywhere like the wind. The only two side soldiers left in the first row of the Tenchu ??Army's first team groaned and fell left and right, falling into the rapids. The golden general roared, and rushed towards the second row of soldiers beside him like a bull. With two loud bangs, two more Tianzhu sergeants threw their cards and vomited blood and fell to the ground.
In an instant, the situation took a turn for the worse, which was shocking.
On a battlefield with thousands of troops and horses, there is usually no place for generals to use their skills. The so-called general refers to the general who "generates" an army, that is, to command the battle. Personal bravery has little effect on the battlefield. However, nothing is absolute. For example, on this narrow bridge and meeting on a narrow road, the role of a brave general can be clearly highlighted.
The Tianzhu Army¡¯s philosophy of building an army has always been based on unity and discipline. It emphasizes that combat is a group force and does not advocate highlighting individual bravery. This is true in large-scale war scenes, but when it comes to local small-scale conflicts, its shortcomings are revealed.
The commander of the mixed battalion was in a panic and shouted: "Iron Leopard! Come on!"
"Iron Leopard" is the nickname of Luo Chang, the leader of the first brigade. This man is a warrior of the first brigade. He is illiterate and dull by nature. In the first brigade of the Tianzhu Army, which places great emphasis on personal comprehensive quality, he can become a leader. The integrity of the team depends on its courage. Because of this, the commander of the mixed battalion temporarily assigned Luo Chang to be the commander of the first team.
The battlefield was fierce and chaotic, and the distance was long. Naturally, it was impossible for this roar to reach the bridge, but the "Iron Leopard" seemed to hear it, roared angrily, held a garlic (hammer), and came out of the crowd. Raise your arm to strike.
boom! Two similar weapons collided in mid-air, and sparks flew everywhere. Both sides refused to retreat even half a step, and their strength was equal.
Jin Jiang let out a sigh, then quickly turned his left hand, reversed the handle of the gun, and swept the tail of the gun, sweeping off the helmet of Luo Chang who had barely dodged, and even raised his leg and kicked him backwards.
Luo Chang, who had disheveled hair, staggered back, suddenly threw his hand away, and the garlic whizzed straight at the golden general.
General Jin hurriedly dodged, but the distance was too close and he barely missed his vital point. The garlic hit his shoulder and shattered the black paint swallowing beast on his shirt. A look of pain mixed with fury flashed across Jin Jiang's scorched face, he roared low, held a seven-foot hammer gun in one hand, and pounced on him.
Luo Chang let go of his weapon, hurriedly grabbed a hand knife left by a dead soldier from the ground, and slashed it with his backhand¡ª¡ª
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Clang!
The blade slashed at the iron armor, the iron leaves fired, but failed to break the armor, and the hammer gun struck down from above, hitting Luo Changtian Ling Gai in the middle
When Luo Chang dies, gold will remain.
Both sides seem to be attacked at the same time, but the result is that there is a difference between man and ghost - once again verified, on the battlefield, can?Yours is only good protective gear!
"That Jin General is Li Cheng's younger brother and his most powerful general - Ma Jin."
Guan Sheng handed the scope back to Di Lie. He couldn't help but tighten the handle of the sword at his waist, but thinking about his responsibilities, he let go with a sigh.
Di Lie knew this Ma Jin. He and another general named Shang Yuan were both Li Cheng's right-hand men, and they were both generals who had transferred from Shan Dawang. Li Cheng sent out his most elite Qingzhou Army in the first battle, and even his younger brother joined the battle, which shows how seriously he took it.
Ma Jin, in history, once had more than 100,000 troops and was a disaster. Later, due to rebellion in the south, he was defeated by Zhang Jun and Yue Fei many times. The worst time was when he was beaten to the point where he had only a dozen riders left and fled. This earned Zhang Jun the reputation of "Zhang Tieshan".
Di Lie did not know the "glorious" history of Ma Jin in another time and space. He only knew one thing: someone must kill Ma Jin. Otherwise, the first team may be defeated and the bridge capture will be frustrated.
Di Lie didn¡¯t want this person to be Yang Zaixing, even if Yang Zaixing took action, he would definitely be killed. But as a general of a brigade and a commander of a division, no matter what the circumstances, you should not charge forward.
The battle for the bridgehead has entered a fever pitch. Luo Chang, the leader of the team, was killed in the battle, and the morale of the first team was dampened. Ma Jin's fierce and wild attack stopped the progress of the first team. Two heavily armored spearmen, a sword player, and two musketeers who wanted to shoot at close range were killed by him in succession. If the reserve sergeants in the last row of the first team had not been replenished in time, they might not have been able to hold on long ago.
Yang Zaixing's eyes were filled with anger. He resisted the urge to take action himself, and immediately nodded on the heads of two of his men who were good at hand-to-hand combat and ordered them to cover up and kill them quickly.
However, due to the congestion on the bridge, I¡¯m afraid it will be too late by the time these two people squeeze through
Just when the casualties of the first team's melee soldiers were getting heavier and the formation was on the verge of collapse, a soldier in the last row of reserve sergeants of the second team jumped up, stepped on the shoulders of the soldiers in front, and jumped forward. The sergeants were trampled so hard that their helmets were crooked, and the ouch continued. Before the curses could be uttered, the sergeant who used a person as a ladder had already passed by like the wind, leaving only a strong figure with two guns on his back.
Within a short distance of more than ten feet, the young sergeant jumped like a star ball, passed by in the blink of an eye, and suddenly shouted: "Tianzhu Army, raise your sign!"
The only two knife players in the front row instinctively raised the side cards when they heard the sound - the young sergeant jumped up, stepped on the side cards, used the force to bounce high, reached back with his hands, and the two swords were five feet tall. With the long iron cone gun in his hand, he struck it down like an eagle pounced on a rabbit, and the target was Ma Jin.
Ma Jin was killing vigorously, with half of his body stained with blood. Suddenly, the sun above his head dimmed, and he raised his head in shock - a black shadow swooped down in the strong wind, poof! The two spears penetrated the armor, penetrated through the shoulders, and instantly penetrated the lungs and heart.
Ma Jin¡¯s movements froze for an instant, his eyes widened with disbelief, blood spurted from his seven orifices, and his whole body was completely red.
The young sergeant screamed with strength in his arms and struggled to put the fork on the gun. He held the Ma Jin corpse high like a skewer, looking majestic and majestic, as if the little bully was reincarnated.
Jin Bing was shocked and panicked, shouting in panic: "Ma Tongzhi is dead! Ma Tongzhi is dead!"
Ma Jin was a general of the Qingzhou Army guarding the bridge. His general died, his soldiers collapsed, and the Lugou Stone Bridge collapsed.
Yang Zaixing laughed: "Well done! The person recommended by the military leader is indeed good. The first brigade, the whole army is crossing the bridge!"
Guan Sheng supported the brocade bag carrying his beautiful long beard and said with emotion: "This little brother is really good at it. I may not be so brave at this age."
Di Lie put down the scope and smiled. He was indeed a tiger. Some people are born with a piece of gold. No matter how you change their life trajectory, they will shine brightly once they are tempered.
For example, this is the case with Yue Yun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
(ps: Historically, Yue Yun never used a hammer. He used long spears for horse battles and iron cone spears for infantry battles. In fact, short and heavy weapons like hammers are not suitable for horse battles at all. This is just a joke in the novel.) (To be continued. .) - Didn't finish reading?
