The Dali horse under the crotch of the Dali cavalry is short, so that the feet of the Dali cavalry are only a few inches off the ground, which looks a bit funny. In He Chi'an's view, such a short horse is not suitable as a war horse at all, and Liu Xianlun was in Xiayi Island. Everything you see in the sky are tall horses. Xiayi Island is now the horse herding base of the Song Dynasty. The fine horses that Mao Geng imported from Dashi have been bred into groups of war horses. Therefore, Liu Xianlun actually used these horses against the Dali soldiers. This extremely weak pony is looked down upon as a war horse.
For a time, the famous reporters from the five major newspapers in the viewing booth all scorned the Dali Kingdom's war horses. However, they are also cavalry. If the infantry does not form a formation, it will be extremely difficult to defeat the cavalry no matter how bad it is.
Thousands of horses' hooves beat on the ground, and their cries became louder and louder, and soon they merged into rumbling thunder. Facing the galloping cavalry, some soldiers of the Song Dynasty turned around and ran away, and some even emitted black smoke. The tractor hurriedly turned around in front, and then drove back with a squeaking sound.
"Asshole! These death-phobic ghosts, scum! Idiots! No matter how fast you run, can you outrun a war horse! Alas! My great Song Dynasty was destroyed by these death-phobic ghosts." Chen Guangya was really too devoted. Seeing our own soldiers running back, I immediately remembered to jump to my feet: "Fire meteor bombs, fire artillery, meteor bombs, hit the motherfucker!"
Chen Guangya was on the Kra Isthmus. He had seen battles before. The elephant formations of the barbarians must have been powerful, but when the meteor bombs greeted them, those so-called behemoth elephants would turn around and run around. In Chen Guangya's mind, as long as the meteors were fired, Well, those ponies will definitely get into trouble.
He Chian took a look and realized that these reporters Chen were too involved in the drama and were really not good viewers, so he reminded:
"Brother Liu, don't worry! Look, the ones running back should be engineers. Engineers are not used to deal with the cavalry. As for dealing with the Dali cavalry, I think Marshal Xin and his soldiers must be more professional than us."
Liu Guo also shook his head in his mind, thinking that the Kra Isthmus side regarded meteor bombs as their most powerful weapon, and Chen Liang's men seemed to have little technical content in fighting. In fact, although the Song Dynasty's offensive troops in front had combat infantry, many of them were technical arms such as engineers. After all, only engineers could assemble all kinds of amazing engineering equipment. These engineers are all treasures, and they are not used to compete with Dali soldiers.
He Chian had just finished speaking when something changed at the front of the battle formation.
In fact, not all the Song soldiers ran back immediately. Those who didn't ran suddenly raised their hands and threw out the things in their hands. In an instant, hundreds of black dots flew out.
The next moment, there was a rumble, accompanied by the sound of explosions, but thick smoke suddenly filled the air, like a smoke screen two or three feet high, and in an instant Dali's cavalry was enveloped in it. In the smoke.
"Well, I didn't expect that the effect of smoke bombs would be so powerful!" Seeing this scene, He Chi'an naturally knew that smoke bombs were used. It seems that Gu Yongqiang, a chemist, has two brushes! Of course, if Gu Yongqiang were here, he would definitely feel dissatisfied. Let¡¯s just say that making yellow phosphorus is not a high-tech thing. Gu Yongqiang¡¯s goal is of course high-standard smoke bombs. Gu Yongqiang said that it is different from the military smoke used by the United States and the Soviet Union in later generations. When compared with the bombs, the level of smoke production of Da Song's primary smoke bombs is sluggish, and it is obvious that it needs to be continuously improved.
After creating a smoke screen out of thin air, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty turned around and ran. They ran to the side of the Juma that was originally in a straight line, and with a drag, they put the barbed wire fence behind the Juma. Well, that is, across the Dali Cavalry. ahead. These barbed wire fences are much simpler than the classic fences of the Song Dynasty. Originally, the classic fences of the Song Dynasty were made of n number of x-shaped wooden fences connected together. The forward end of the fence was cut into There are pointed wooden stakes, and there is another wooden stake that is also sharpened upwards. N pieces are arranged together and connected by a beam. It can be said to be a defensive weapon against cavalry in the cold weapon era. Compared with the classic horse-rejection, the barbed wire horse-rejection is much simpler. There are two large X-shaped wooden frames in front and behind, with barbed wire wrapped around them. This is the new style of horse-rejection in the Song Dynasty. This kind of Tiexiwang horse is 1.5 meters tall. Even the tall racehorses who have practiced modern pentathlon in later generations cannot easily jump over it, let alone the short Dali horses.
When the barbed wire fence held back the horses, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty could advance and retreat freely between the rejecting horses. Now, all of them have turned into horizontal rows, which is enough for the Dali cavalry to drink a pot!
The Song Army threw both grenades and smoke bombs at the same time. Under the explosion of the grenades, the Dali cavalrymen fell on their backs and screamed repeatedly. However, there were also benefits in the smoke. The uninjured people could not see the tragic death and injury, and they did not know what was going on. How many casualties have there been? On the contrary, they are rushing their horses to rush out of the smoke. Of course, it is not that easy to turn back. If you try to turn around in the smoke, you may collide with your comrades behind you who are rushing forward. If you hit the muzzle of the gun, you may be He will die at the hands of his own people,That was an unjust death.
Well, the Dali cavalry had no choice but to march forward bravely and rush forward.
When the first row of horses rushed out of the smoke, the cavalry on the horse immediately noticed the strange resisting horses in front of them. No one knew how powerful these resisting horses were, but even if they knew how powerful they were, they couldn't dodge at this moment.
Soon, the barbed wire fence was filled with horses and people. The momentum of the horses rushing forward was amazing. Some of the horses were knocked over during the rush. However, after being knocked over, the Tiexi fence below flipped up, and it was still in Dali. Bloody holes were dug into the flesh of the horses and Dali soldiers. In the end, most of the people and horses were hung on the barbed wire fence that kept the horses away.
Suddenly, there were pitiful howls on the battlefield. The Dali cavalry in front was caught in the barbed wire fence and their horses were covered in blood. They were waiting for death. However, the cavalry in the smoke behind them couldn't see what was happening in front of them. , and kept rushing out of the smoke, and immediately made the same mistake again.
When the Dali cavalry was in a dilemma, the mortars from the Song Dynasty's rear formation began to unleash their power, and a burst of rapid fire covered them. I don't know what the Dali cavalry looked like behind the smoke. According to He Chi'an's estimation, I'm afraid there won't be many cavalry left. .
After another round of mortar fire, the smoke became thinner. A large area of ??Dali cavalry fell in the smoke. The remaining cavalry no longer had the courage to charge forward. They reined in their horses' heads and fled towards the city. go.
The mortar extended forward. At this time, the cavalry who had been flying back all the way had gathered in a swarm at the suspension bridge. The problem was that the width of the suspension bridge was limited, and it suddenly became a big bottleneck. A large number of people and horses were crowded together in front of the suspension bridge, howling. If it hits it, it will blow up a large area, causing people to fall on their backs and blood and flesh to fly everywhere. Seeing that if you stay in front of the suspension bridge for a moment longer, it will be more dangerous. A missile may blow up your life. You can't stay here for a second longer! Therefore, the people who were still alive had no other thoughts at this moment. Their only thought was to squeeze onto the suspension bridge as quickly as possible, and then rush into the city gate until Song Dynasty's missiles could not reach them.
However, the more this happened, the more crowded the suspension bridge became, and a missile flying from the Song Dynasty, by coincidence, landed in the crowd of people and horses on the suspension bridge at this moment, so it was not The wide suspension bridge was suddenly swept down, and a group of guys fell into the moat with a splash.
The bloody scene on the suspension bridge did not deter the soldiers who fled one after another. Not to mention, this came very timely. After such an explosion, it had the effect of clearing the bridge. It must be said that after the powerful dredging of mortar shells, the suspension bridge The "traffic jam" situation was greatly alleviated. A dozen soldiers with quick reactions from the Dali cavalry immediately rushed onto the suspension bridge with lightning speed.
But unfortunately, another missile fell on the suspension bridge. These bastard gunners of the Song Dynasty are really hateful. Do they want to blow up the suspension bridge in one fell swoop?
Yes, this is what the artillery school shooter standing on the high watchtower thinks. With his semaphore command, one or two out of ten will land on or near the suspension bridge, but the suspension bridge cannot be a shoddy project after all. , a solid suspension bridge built with precision cannot be destroyed by a few bombs, not to mention that there are people and horses on the bridge to absorb the kinetic energy of the bombs. Therefore, despite the bustling explosion and the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the suspension bridge is still as strong as ever.
However, when an incendiary bomb flew over, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. The one containing kerosene exploded in front of the suspension bridge, and then quickly burst into flames. The men and horses who were burned at the first time took the initiative to rush towards the moat this time. , the next moment, the lifting rope of the suspension bridge was also burned to ashes in the flames, so the suspension bridge was no longer a suspension bridge. Now, it is just a wooden plank bridge that cannot be hoisted. The thickness of this plank bridge is enough It is so thick that the few flames ignited by the kerosene do not seem to do much damage to it. The bridge is still strong and will not be damaged.
Amid the explosions and flames, and in the test of blood and fire, the tenacious escapees rushed one after another. With strong support for survival, they climbed onto the bridge regardless and fled into the city. The whole process could be described as a loss of life and death, but there were still many lucky guys who escaped back to the city. It is estimated that there should be two to three hundred people who escaped!
"After what happened, Gao Daxiangguo should no longer have the intention to organize troops to attack rashly!" Guo Ni grinned and spoke a little teasingly. Guo Ni watched the whole performance of the Dali cavalry, which started from beginning to end but ended in a complete mess, and couldn't help but start to squeal.
Next to Guo Ni is a member of the Gao family from the "Yucheng Sect" of the Gao family in Dali, named Gao Heling. It is said that the Gao family in Dali has long been divided into two major factions, one is the "Yucheng Sect" in western Yunnan, and the other is the "Guanyin Sect" in eastern Yunnan. Gao Heling is the branch of Gao Taihui, the eldest son of Gao Shengtai, and is an authentic Yucheng sect. Gao Zhenming, who was also a Yucheng sect, had been in charge of Moutong Mansion for thirteen years, and Gao Zhenming was the leader of the Gao clan in Gaoheling. When Gao Zhenming died two years ago, Gao Zhen, who was a member of the "Yucheng Faction" of the Mutong Prefecture,As an opposition faction, Gao Zhenming, who could have competed with the "Guanyin Sect" in power, was naturally squeezed by the "Avalokitesvara" faction, and the rift between the two sides became wider and wider. This Gao Heling was They came to explore the road on behalf of the "Yucheng Faction" tribe in Moutong Prefecture.
??The Guanyin Sect has only been able to occupy the position of Dali Prime Minister in the past ten years. The previous Dali Prime Ministers have always been members of the Yuecheng Sect, so Gao Heling is quite disdainful of the current "Guanyin Sect" Gao Xiangguo. Nowadays, the heavenly soldiers of the Song Dynasty are besieging the Tongfu with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai. Of course, the Yuucheng faction in the city will not wholeheartedly follow the Guanyin faction's Xiangguo to carry the Song Dynasty to death. With half-hearted intention, Gao Heling is now standing next to Guo Ni to observe the battle. . If the military power of the Song Dynasty was really difficult to shake, they would have no choice but to submit to the Song Dynasty.
The Gao family was actually not that repulsive about surrendering to the Song Dynasty, because the Gao family's ancestral home was Ren's family name in Luling County, Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. According to legend, the ancestor of the Gao family, Gao Xiang, followed Zhuge Liang in his expedition to Yunnan, and then stayed in Yunnan. Then he took root in Yunnan, and finally became a prominent family that influenced the political situation of Dali. The Gao family was originally of Han Miao origin. Now that the Song Dynasty is strong and powerful, it is not unacceptable to return to the Song Dynasty. The so-called people who understand current affairs are heroes, and there is really no need to be buried with the "Guanyin Sect" guys.
Now when Gao Heling took a look, the magical thunder of the Song Dynasty was simply unparalleled in power, and the Dali army just now was looking for death. It seemed that there was no way the Moutong Mansion could be defended, and it was time to make a decision.
"As General Guo said, the Moutong Mansion cannot be defended. It's a pity that the confused Prime Minister still wants to resist. It's like a mantis trying to use his arms as a chariot and not overestimating his own capabilities! As a member of the Yuecheng Faction, I have always looked up to the Song Dynasty and my heart to the Great Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty has been waiting eagerly for many years for the Heavenly Soldiers of the Song Dynasty to take over Yunnan. General Guo, please rest assured that our Yucheng Faction is extremely powerful in the Moutong Mansion. If we offer the city, that bastard Prime Minister won¡¯t be able to stop him even if he wants to. But After all, presenting a city is an extremely dangerous matter. I would like to ask General Guo to send me a few words of good words in front of Marshal Xin to send us across the city. If we agree to a few small requests, we can open the city immediately to welcome the Song Dynasty soldiers. General Guo ,how?"
