Chapter 16 Cleansing (Part 1) "Yan Jiqian and Tian Dingke follow me to the left wing. Others, listen to Master Nawu Na's order and prepare to attack forward. The true God is watching us and his warriors in heaven." The key. At this moment, the Great Elder Pu Shiren stood up again and adjusted the arrangements for Nawu Na at the top of his lungs. You can't turn around and escape. Once you escape, the whole army will definitely collapse. If you charge forward, if you can defeat Chen Youding, you may still have a chance to survive. After all, compared with the Huai'an Army, the Chen Family Army's combat effectiveness should be weaker. They have just changed their clan, and their morale is It can't be too expensive. "Kill Chen Youding, kill Chen Youding, the true God is watching us." Hearing the desperate cry of the great elder Pu Shiren, Nawu Na also forced himself to calm down and shouted with his sword. "Kill Chen Youding, kill Chen Youding." In the team, generals at all levels echoed in confusion. Chen Youding is a new surrender to the Huai'an Army, and he may not be able to cooperate closely with other Huai'an Army departments. The Chen family has deep roots in Fujian, and Zhu Butcher may not be immune. I would love to see him fight with the Pu family and lose both sides. More importantly, from the time he first appeared to the present, on the front, left, and right sides, only the Chen family's team standing in front of him kept shouting. , and although the Huai'an army on the left and right sides were also adjusting their formations to shorten the distance between them and the Pu family army, they did not make any noise from beginning to end. They seemed to be tens of thousands of clay dolls or mechanical puppets made of wood. Their movements were neat, uniform, fast and silent. Apart from the sound of horns and the sound of horse hooves, they seemed not to make any unnecessary noise, and just moved forward silently. They get closer silently, welcoming victory or death in silence, but the more they do this, the greater the pressure they put on the Pu family, just like the waves at high tide, one wave after another, rushing forward, crushing the real god. The believers' legs trembled and their bodies swayed like willow leaves in the wind. "The true God bless you." "The sovereignty of the heaven and earth and all things belongs only to the true God. He creates what he wants to create. The true God is almighty in all things." "The true God sent down thick fog to confuse the Kafirs, and the believers of God left. Go to them and cut their throats with a knife. "Kill all their men, turn their women and children into slaves, steal everything they have, burn their temples, and then enjoy the glory given by the true God." The elders, lecturers and holy warriors took the lead in reciting the deliberately tampered scriptures. Their faces were full of despair and madness. Except for the core figures such as Nawu Na, they were the ones who most hoped to be on the ground. Those who build the kingdom of heaven mean that they will be able to get something for nothing and take everything from the conquered. If they lose, they will suffer the greatest loss and the darkest future. ¡°¡°Kill those who disbelieve and deny the signs of God; they are the inhabitants of Hell, where they will abide forever. " "Those who deny the signs of God and despise them are the inhabitants of Hell, where they will abide forever. " "Those who deny the signs of the true God and despise them, all the gates of heaven will not be opened for them, and they will not be allowed to enter Paradise until the cable can pass through the eye of a needle." In the team, other Dashi mercenaries and the children of several big families also shouted loudly. Chanting, thousands of chanting voices merged together, actually suppressing the sound of war drums and suonas coming from all around. Listening to the familiar scriptures, thinking about the possible existence of heaven, and thinking about the endless food in heaven With the seventy-two virgins, the red-eyed robber raised his knife, straightened his body, and his mind was at peace. "Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom." "On the right side of the battlefield, the Huai'an Army's six-pound cannon began to show its power. This artillery with rifling inside has a very long range and very impressive accuracy. It can shoot six-pound shells from a distance of 1,500 to 6,000 steps. It was sent to the general range of the intended target, and the soldiers and horses around the impact point were blown to pieces. More than a dozen deep pits immediately appeared in the Pu family's team. Where the smoke rose, mud and broken limbs flew everywhere. Anyone who was unlucky to stand there. The "holy warriors" within four feet of the impact point of the shells all suffered broken bones and muscles, regardless of whether they were chanting sutras in their mouths. However, the huge casualties did not cause Pu's army to collapse immediately. On the contrary, the sound of chanting sutras filled his ears. The flesh and blood of their accomplices actually ignited the final madness in their hearts. They quickly raised their scimitars one by one, followed the self-proclaimed Quanzhou Jiedushi Nawu Na, howled and pounced on Chen Jiajun who was blocking the front. Everyone¡¯s face is full of piety. ¡°Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. "Another row of six kilograms of explosive bullets hit the Pu family's army, "Boom." "A few barrels of Greek fire were directly detonated by the cannonballs, and a huge orange cloud rose up. Nearly a hundred children of the Pu family were all sent directly to the kingdom of heaven by the fire. But just at the edge of the fire, there was another A dozen holy warriors who had been personally instructed by the lecturer lifted the three cyclone cannons from the pool of blood, and tightened the strings of the cannons with their hands, "Fire." "A man with a black gauze on his headThe lecturer shouted in peace. Three earthen jars with lit fuses immediately rose into the air, passed over a distance of more than 400 steps, and smashed into Chen Youding's team for the first time. Flames rolled, thick smoke rose into the sky, and the soldiers splashed by the flames fell to the ground. They screamed and rolled desperately. However, the wet ground made the fire on their bodies burn brighter and hotter. Soon, the people rolling on the ground turned into huge fireballs, their flesh and blood burnt. The smell was so irritating that the surrounding people's faces were filled with tears. "Quick, quick, put up all the cyclone cannons you can find and fire them straight ahead." The lecturer in black saw the advantage and continued to remind loudly. Hundreds of disciples of the Pu family were inspired, and they rushed to the carriages carrying the goods, lifted off the tornado cannons, assembled them on the spot, and then fired Greek fire cans forward one after another. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." More Greek fire bombs rose into the sky and smashed into Chen Youding's troops one after another. "Boom, boom, boom." The Huaian army's six-pound cannon adjusted its muzzle and launched fire suppression against the Pu's army's "magic weapon." After a round of shelling, at least four cyclone cannons were reduced to pieces, and the rolling fire will destroy the cannon. The gunners were so burned that they were running around in red smoke, but the Pu family's gunners, inspired by their previous achievements, continued to quickly deploy their new cyclone cannons, desperately firing the Greek cupping pot towards Chen Youding. pouring. They exchanged fire with the Huai'an army, but they didn't get much advantage. They hit Chen Youding with great results. The Pu family army, who vowed to fight a bloody path, didn't care how fast the artillery fire from their right side was. They didn't want to retaliate. They just want to survive, and they just want to rush out of the front and escape from the dead before the Huai'an army on the left and right sides closes up. Such a fierce and decisive tactic immediately caught Chen Youding off guard. He had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but the Huai'an army outflanking the Pu family on the left and right sides was less than 5,000, especially the one on the left commanded by Fu Youde. The Huaiyang cavalry, including all the trumpeters and civilian soldiers who could not join the battle, was only in their early 2000s at most. However, this group of crazy devils from the Pu family actually refused to break through on the left wing and chose to attack from the front. Found him. For the cyclone cannon and Greek fire, the best countermeasure is the Fuyuan Crossbow. For the Chen family, which has lived in Fuzhou for a long time and has had many interactions with the sea cannibals, the arm-twisting power storage device is also not unfamiliar. , but due to their family's financial resources, they could not afford to purchase too many Greek cupping jars, so they simply combined the advantages of the East and the West and combined the bed crossbow and the whirlwind cannon to create a fuyuan crossbow with a range of up to four More than a hundred steps, two or three people can quickly operate it, and they can move with the army by hanging it on the back of a large animal. (Note 1) I saw Chen Youding quickly waving a few flags, thirty Fuyuan crossbows the size of donkey carts, Immediately pushed to the front of the team, the leader Qianhu Chen Youji gave an order, and thirty crossbow arrows with gunpowder barrels tied to their fronts rose into the air, leaping over the Pu family's army who were trying to rush closer, and struck hard near the tornado cannon that was unleashing its power. . "Boom, boom, boom, boom." The explosions of gunpowder came one after another, mixed with the violent explosions of Greek fire pots. In an instant, five cyclone cannons, together with the surrounding gunners, were buried in the sea of ????fire. The heat wave burned the surrounding Yan clan soldiers to the point where they were running away with their heads covered. "Leave it to me here, you don't have to worry about it, just resist the Huai'an Army's cavalry." At the critical moment, the fifth elder Pu Shijie stepped forward and led more than 500 of the most fanatical Pu family disciples to help more whirlwinds from the edge of the sea of ??fire. Gun carriage. "Forward, push forward, push to the middle of the carriage, the first row raises shields, the second row, erects spears, squats, the third row, puts spears on the shoulders of the second row, stretches forward diagonally, bows and arrows "Hands, follow my orders, eighty steps ahead, let go." Yan Jiqian, a soldier from Wanhu, heard Pu Shijie's cry and became ruthless, turning a deaf ear to the explosion behind him, and commanded the most elite members of his clan. Disciple, fight against the Huaiyang cavalry coming from the left wing. His ancestor Yan Bolu once performed extraordinary feats when he massacred the Zhao and Song clans and the wounded soldiers of the Huaihe River. Therefore, if the Pu family was defeated, he did not know what kind of revenge his family would suffer, so he withstood the Huaiyang Army's cavalry. Maybe it won't take too long, just two or three rounds. Judging from the current situation, Nawu Na can kill him, join Yisiba Xi's army, and return to Quanzhou by sea. The sound of fluttering arrows soon sounded, and in a very short period of time, it replaced the sound of shelling and explosions behind them and became the main theme on the battlefield. The descendants of the Yan and Tian clans who were left behind by Daxing Lao Pu Shiren, He pulled the bow string desperately, trying to weaken the power of the Huai'an Army's cavalry attack and gain more advantages for himself. His tactics were very successful. After the Huai'an cavalry, which was not too fast originally, was covered by a large number of feather arrows, their movements became slower and slower, and the distance between them became wider and wider, as if they planned to use this stupid method. method to reduce your own casualties. "That Fu Youde doesn't understand at all??How to use cavalry. " "The group of Huai thieves who came over from the left were suspicious soldiers and did not have much combat effectiveness at all. Nawu Na should have chosen the left as the breakthrough point. " "The Huai thief has no good intentions. He really wants the Pu family and the Chen family to fight to the death. "The next moment, chaotic thoughts surged from the hearts of the great elder Pu Shiren, the third elder Tian Dingke, and the volunteer soldier Yan Jiqian. No wonder they thought too much, Fu Youde's performance today was indeed very amateurish, and the cavalry faced off The biggest advantage of the infantry is the speed of the war horse. As long as the horse rushes up and crushes the infantry head directly, even if the opponent has feather arrows to block it and sets up a gun formation, after paying a sufficient price, it can still be done. But today, because Fu Youde was unwilling to let his men die in vain, he chose to disperse the formation when the arrows hit him. Then he quickly pulled the team out of the range of the arrows and attacked all the cavalry from the front. It was changed to approach diagonally. This way, the threat of the feather arrows to the cavalry could be minimized, but it would be more difficult for the cavalry to break through the defense line composed of spears and carriages. The Pu family was responsible for breaking up the rear. The soldiers secretly rejoiced that when their chances of leaving safely were greatly increased, Fu Youde suddenly took out a chain hammer from his waist, and at the same time clamped his legs tightly on the horse's belly. The Khitan horse trafficked from Liaodong was in pain. He let out a low roar, spread his hooves, and slashed diagonally towards the array of carriage spears. "" Rarely shush, "rarely shush." ??The screams of war horses are endless, and the sound of horse hoofs is as loud as thunder. Hundreds of Huai'an cavalry, in groups of three, pull out a huge long dragon, following Fu Youde and his Behind the two guards, they approached the Pu family's chariot and spear formation diagonally. In their right hands, each of them carried a pair of chain hammers connected end to end. At the handles of the hammers, two protruding iron covers glowed with an icy blue color. "Shield-bearer, raise your shield, raise your shield to protect your own head." Pu Shiren, who was riding on horseback, immediately widened his eyes and shouted at the top of his lungs. "Chain hammer, Fu Youde actually tried to hit it hard with the chain hammer. This is a common tactic of the Asu soldiers in the Western Regions. When used to the extreme, it is terrifyingly powerful. Unexpectedly, Fu Youde actually copied it back from the Asu prisoners." "Shoot arrows, archers, shoot arrows to intercept, whirlwind cannon<spanclass='character'style='background-image:url(/im 9b26 ?g/1445690319906/32846786/5602702418550165673.png)'> Cyclone Cannon, don't just do it You should give me a try to deal with Chen Youding." Yan Jiqian was not as knowledgeable as Pu Shiren, but when he thought about the feeling of two iron lumps hitting his forehead with the speed of the war horse, he was so scared that he turned around and pulled away behind him. Throat, hoarse. "Whoosh whoosh, whoosh whoosh, whoosh whoosh." Another row of densely packed feather arrows flew into the air and pounced on the galloping cavalry. Pu Shide, who was organizing his men to fight with Chen Youding's troops, also immediately dispatched the five arrows that had just been fired. The assembled cyclone cannon provided fire support to Yan Jiqian and Tian Dingke. However, whether it is feathered arrows or Greek fire bombs, the effect is minimal. The horses running at high speed are far apart from each other, and it is difficult to become the target of the feathered arrows. Even if they are unfortunately hit, as long as they do not hit the vital point, they can still be restrained by the riders. Continue to run. As for the powerful Greek fire bombs, they were all smashed into the air, and in vain, clouds of red light rose up. The well-trained Huai'an cavalry either jumped directly over the fire light, or slightly turned their horses' heads to take a detour. Roundabout, not affected at all. Seeing that Fu Youde's mount was getting closer and closer to the car wall, Yan Jiqian's nervous face turned earth-colored. He was about to dispatch the archers and shoot again, but saw that the opponent suddenly pulled the reins of the war horse. With his left hand free, he quickly twisted and pulled the bulge at the back end of the meteor hammer, and then thin white smoke emitted from the two connected iron knots. "Be careful, it's a thunderbolt." No matter how ill-informed he was, Yan Jiqian knew that what his opponent was holding was no longer a meteor hammer, so he jumped up and warned loudly. Before it was too late, the war horses rushed to the car array and the spears at a speed of twenty steps per breath. Fu Youde waved his arm vigorously and threw the "chain hammer", and then rode away at high speed. "Boom." Two grenades tied together by a rope were wrapped around the spear shaft and exploded in the air, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere directly below. "Boom." "Boom." Two other grenades tied together by ropes flew over one after another and wrapped around the spear shaft, creating the same disaster. There was no way to hide. The formation of spears against cavalry must be dense. If it is not dense, it will be ineffective. It is precisely because their team is dense and squatting on the ground in advance that it leads to the most tragic result. At the moment when the grenade explodes , none of the spearmen who were close to each other had time to move their bodies, they could only shrink their heads on the back of the robe in front,Then leave it to fate. The grenade has been improved more than ten times by Huaiyang Workshop. Although its size has been reduced by half, its power is far greater than before. The iron shell with pre-engraved patterns, driven by a kilogram of granulated black gunpowder, It quickly exploded into fourteen or five petals in mid-air, and then, together with the embroidered iron beads wrapped in the grenade, flew in all directions like hail, tearing open Pu Jiajun's mackerel leather armor, tearing open the flesh and blood inside the leather armor, and drilling into the bones. And the chest and abdomen, the internal organs inside were mixed into a pulp. "Ah" screams came one after another. The wounded man who was still breathing was leaning on the body of his dead companion, vomiting blood. Around the explosion point, the other spearmen were dumbfounded. He didn't know how to save his own family, and he didn't know what to do next. Before they could recover from the shock, three cavalrymen from the second row came on horseback. "Boom." "Boom." "Boom." Three explosions sounded one after another near the landing point of the first wave of grenades. , blasting the spearmen who looked like clay sculptures and wood sculptures into corpses everywhere. "Boom." "Boom." "Boom." "Boom." "Boom." "Boom." "Boom." "Boom." The third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave, the sixth wave, the seventh wave Waves, it was too late to say, but it was fast. In the blink of an eye, there were more than twenty waves of grenades, thrown into the Pu family's army's makeshift defensive array using carriages and spears. There were at least forty spearmen, and they moved in succession. Before they even had time to move, they were blown to pieces. Those who were lucky enough not to be affected by the explosion were squeezed together tightly. You looked at me and I looked at you, like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. "Use a spear, use the spear to pick up the chain of the thunder in the palm, and throw it outward." I don't know if he was stunned by the explosion, or if he suddenly had a connection, Yan Jiqian, deputy deputy of Wanhu, jumped up and shouted with a cry. This method should be feasible, at least he thought so. When the stunned spearmen around him heard this, they immediately recovered some of their concentration from their stupid state. They dropped their spears and ran away before a new round of grenades hit their heads. Then run away. Note 1: According to Wang Hanfeng's "Discussion on Several Issues About Pu Shougeng", it is estimated that Pu Shougeng massacred about 6,000 or 7,000 people, including: more than 3,000 people from the Nanwai clan (Ming Dynasty Yang Siqian's "Quanzhou Prefecture" said that Shao Shao In Dingjian [1228, 1233], there were more than 3,300 people in the Nanwai clan) and 2,500 Huai soldiers. The number of scholars and officials was unknown.
