Chapter 93

Most of the troops of Tiemuge came from the grassland tribe, and even among the Liao army, they were very brave and fierce. Their companions were constantly shot by arrows from the opposite side, which stimulated their ferociousness. When they were bullied nearby, they saw that the Song army camp was very low and could leapt onto the horse. The riders shouted loudly, hanging cavalry in front and taking out sword spears, while the cavalry behind were still firing arrows. After the last round of arrows, the Liao army cavalry quickly hung bows and took out swords and prepared to rush to the camp and cut off those heads that were as tall as war horses.

"Destroy those iron cannons." The cavalry general Su Butai loudly reminded his subordinates not to just chop and kill infantrymen. The most important purpose of this charge was to block the Song army's iron cannons. Su Butai held a cavalry spear in his right hand and lies tightly behind the horse's neck. He passed the head of the Song army in the front row and almost saw the shadows of those iron guys. "It's approaching, it's almost here..."

The method of stuck iron barrel cannons is very simple. Just shoot an iron block into the barrel chamber so that it cannot be used. Cannons are a powerful weapon to siege. His Majesty the Emperor hopes to capture as many artillery as possible from the Song army. As artillery is becoming more and more important, in addition to the Han people, the Liao Kingdom began to train Khitan gunners for the first time. Since the battle between Shuzhou, there have been many Liao troops who died under iron barrel cannons. It is rare that the Song army took the initiative to fight today. In order to bombard the Liao army, the artillery battalion left the strong artillery base that had been operating for a long time and moved forward to the relatively simple forward artillery base.

The Southern Dynasty archers with thin armor retreated one after another, leaving only some burly soldiers standing in front of them. Compared with the thick Song army infantry formation, the number of people seemed to be very rare. Within a distance of thirty steps, the Liao soldiers had excellent archery accuracy. At this time, they were no longer scattering at the boundless scattering of the Song army camp. The arrows seemed to have eyes, chasing the figures of the Song army one by one. The arrows hit the iron armor and emitted a harsh figure of "ping Ping Pong".

"Hold on, hold on, you can't shoot the arrow, you can't shoot it..."

It was Qian Shen's first time facing the impact of the cavalry. The thick iron mask blocked his pale face. No one could hear him muttering words. It gradually became, "It is hard to enter the knife and arrow, it is hard to enter the knife and arrow, it is hard to enter the knife and arrow,..." Qian Shen complained about this set of heavy dead armor for countless times, and once took out the thick armor piece and replaced it with a lighter thin armor. Now, whether he can survive depends on the thick armor. Qian Shen's legs were a little weak, and the narrow window of the iron mask seemed to be filled with surging cavalry. Fortunately, all the timidity was covered by this mask. Qian Shen once secretly looked at it with a bronze mirror. This mask was very ferocious and cold, and could be called heroic. He felt a little comforted. "Even if you fall, it will be another in twenty years..." This sentence has not been finished.

With a "default", Qian Shen staggered, and the grenade that was smoking in his hand almost fell to the ground. The fear just now turned into anger instantly. The helmet was hit by an arrow. Although it was not penetrated by the arrow cluster, the impact of the arrow made his ears sound like someone was swinging a stick and hitting him hard on the iron helmet. "Damn it." Qian Shen cursed, with a sweet and salty taste in his mouth, which was the shock that just now bit his lips.

"Preparation--" The officer ordered again, this was the last time "preparation". Qian Shen took a long breath and returned to the treasure he was holding. Once this thing was not thrown well, no matter how thick the iron armor was, it would not be able to save my life. When practicing throwing grenades, he once took the lives of three heroes. The bloody scene was deeply engraved in Qian Shen's mind. He was far from indifferent to life and death. His fear of the grenades in his hands was even more serious than the cavalry coming towards him.

At this moment, with a "puff" sound, the arrow trickyly inserted into the eye window of a thunderbolter. The man beside Qian Shen fell down, and the heavy grenade fell to the ground. The lead was about to burn to the last piece of thin red line. At that moment, his mind was blank. If it weren't for the countless trainings to form instincts, Qian Shen would almost have to turn around and escape. In this moment, Qian Shen felt that his heart seemed to jump out of his throat, and his mouth was full of bitterness. The Liao cavalry pressing up like a mountain became as light as a floating cloud, and the thunderbolter near the grenade held his breath almost at the same time.

When arranging an enemy, any extra password or extra action may cause chaos and defeat...

At the critical moment, a burly thrust thrower with long hands and feet came out of the second row, and grabbed the grenade with a palm-shaped fan like a palm-leaf fan. The grenade weighing several pounds, with a burning lead, was actually caught by him. "Miaoshan Monkey--" Qian Shen recognized this unique figure with one eye. At this time, the enemy cavalry was approaching, and the officer behind him shouted loudly in time: "Thunder--"

The military order seemed to be a needle, and Qian Shen had no time to think about anything else. As soon as he heard the "throwing" order, almost all the thunderheads in the first row threw the grenade out without thinking. As soon as the "thunder" order was released, several thunderheads finally threw the grenade and looked around proudly. Because the leads of the grenade were specially made, when they burned to the throwing scale marked by a red line, the thunderheads threw it out with the greatest strength, and almost exploded at the moment they landed. If the thunderheads were particularly bold, they would stabilize half of the time after the officer issued the order.

Breathing, grenades are likely to explode in the air to achieve the maximum killing effect. Because of this, the thunder throwing camp is proud of throwing grenades in the end. Zhao Xingde issued a special military order, strictly prohibiting delaying throwing thunder after the "thunder throwing" command is issued. However, this game that is almost a joy to gambling is still very popular in the thunder throwing camp. Military judges cannot completely ban this matter. In addition to the factors that the officer secretly indulges in, the thunder throwing hands that dare to throw at the last moment are enemies that no one wants to face.

The lead wire had spread in, and more than 200 grenades flew over the head of the Liao army with a faint green smoke.

The Liao army was urging the horses to charge towards the cannon base when more than two hundred black things were storming in the air. "Be careful--" Su Butai shouted. As a commander of thousands, he had heard of this vicious grenade. But most of the Liao army did not know that there were only more than a thousand thunderheads in the Song army, and there were only a few who had the honor of seeing or hearing about the power of grenades.

"Damn it!" Subutai had to try his best to tighten the horse. The horse neighed for a long time, raised its hooves high, and almost stepped out of the mud. The other Liao troops subconsciously regarded the grenade as a rock, which seemed to weigh a few pounds. "When eating a stone or two, the scimitar will be about to harvest the head!" This is what most Liao troops thought. Some cavalry turned slightly to dodge these black things coming from the air, and the more brave ones did not dodge or avoid it, urging the horse to advance at full speed. They stared at the sparse Song army on the cannon base with red eyes, without paying attention to the "things" that had no accuracy at all.

"Boom!" "Boom boom--" Grenades exploded one after another, and cast iron bombs imprisoned the power of gunpowder until the last moment, and then they split in the most violent posture. The thick black smoke produced by the explosion of the black gunpowder, with a huge sound, flew across the shrapnel of the shattered grooves on the surface of the bomb. Even if the Liao army was not hit, the war horse under its crotch was shocked and uncontrollable. This happened almost instantly. The front hoof of Subutai's mount had not been put down. Several shrapnel hit the front chest of the war horse with a roar, and deeply embedded. The war horse whined, the rear hoof broke, the front hoof fell softly, and the heavy body rushed forward with inertia.

"Okay!" After a moment, Qian Shen felt his whole body numb. At this time, someone pulled him hard behind him. He felt a little aware and took a step back. The second row of the thunderheads took a step forward and threw a second round of grenades under the command of the officer. Qian Shen retreated until the end. While the third row of the thunderheads threw the grenades, the first row of the thunderheads took out the second grenade, holding the grenades in one hand and shaking the fire tiles with the other. At this time, several Liao cavalry had already rushed to the camp.

"Draw the sword—"

"Draw the sword—"

Almost at the same time as the officer issued the order, the third platoon of thunderbolters, who had no time to withdraw, picked up the weapons inserted into the soil. In the Baoyi Army, only the tall and burly soldiers with extraordinary strength could be selected as thunderbolters. The mace, long-handled and heavy axe, and the Modao greeted several war horses that rushed to the cannon base, and the blade brought out a large piece of flesh and blood. The Liao cavalry, who was secretly calling for luck, caught off guard and fell off the horse. Before he could stand up, he was chopped into meat sauce by the heavy axe that followed him.

The second row of the thunderbolt had just pulled out a bloody weapon from the Liao army. The officer's command was issued, and the first row of the thunderbolt threw a grenade again. More than 200 black objects flew towards the subsequent Liao army's head. The third row of the thunderbolt lit the lead at the same time. The grenade's throwing continued, a few points faster than setting off a musket. Under the attack of the thunderbolt, the Liao cavalry, who originally wanted to take advantage, retreated like a tide. Under the cannon, except for a messy corpse, the injured were squirming in despair, and the injured war horse gasped for the last few breaths.

'"Huh--" Qian Shen also breathed a long sigh. The fierce battle lasted for very short time, and the enemy repelled. He recalled the salty and bitter taste in his mouth. While relaxing his whole body slightly, he felt a hint of emptiness after being excited. "Damn it." Qian Shen turned his head. The iron helmet was extremely heavy. Without the military order to remove the helmet, he did not dare to take it off, and he could not even lift the mask to breathe the bloody air. Qian Shen could only whisper to the sergeant behind him with long hands and feet, nicknamed "Miaoshan Monkey" "Mountain Monkey, I owe you a life."

"Qian Daguo, don't be polite." Miao Ping grinned. Even though he was wearing the iron mask, it made people feel a sense of silence. Qian Shen sighed secretly. Except for this illiterate barbarian, at least the ten-men, the elites of the old camp who came from Shu, are at least the ten-men. The ten-men, and a group of specially selected elites, are responsible for guarding against the situation just now. Their armor is thicker than the thunderheads next to him. In the most dangerous situation, they even have to lie on the smoking grenade with their bodies...

"This is his fucking elite!" Qian Shen couldn't help but blush when he remembered his performance just now. Fortunately, the iron mask covered everything.

In the eyes of the people in the back formation, a burly thunderbolt turned his face, and two cold gazes looked at thousands of Liao army cavalry fled in a hurry through the narrow window.
