Chapter 16 - 1

During this attack on the Liao army, Wang Yan was personally in charge of the overall situation. Bai Anmin, the commander of the Zhongyong Army, led 10,000 infantry to form a large formation of the central army. Among them were Zhao Xingde's 3,000 musketeers, and Han Shizhong, the second army of Zhenbei, led 3,000 infantrymen.

The cavalry formed the left vanguard formation, the cavalry commander Jiao Yong led 3,000 cavalry to form the right vanguard formation, and the commander of the Zhenbei Third Army Commander Bi Sheng led 4,000 infantry to form the rear formation.

The Song army's large formation was completed, and the advancement and retreat of each battalion were controlled by the drums of the Chinese army. The Chinese army's flags were also galloping back and forth on horseback. The commanders of all armies, together with the flag officers, received the military order to go out or engage in battle with the enemy.

Before, it was actually a little easier to take care of myself.

Teng Ying was a native of Baling County, the capital of the Second Army in the north of the town. Han Shizhong recommended Zhao Xingde to serve as the flag officer. There were neat phalanxes of friendly troops on both sides of the fire gun camp. He turned his head and smiled at Yuhou Su Wenyu.

: "The Controller really knows how to choose the day. On the third day of March, eggs will be distributed downstairs in Yueyang."

Su Wenyu said with a smile: "Today we will ask the Liao people to eat iron bullets." The officers above the commanding officer of the Fire Gun Camp did not have iron masks on their helmets and had a wide field of vision. Su Wenyu looked to the left and saw six consecutive square formations of the same color seven feet long.

Although they only trained for a short period of fifteen days, their ranks were the neatest in the entire Chinese army formation, even better than the emperor's review in Bianjing.

What is different from the review is that at this moment, the sound of cannons and crossbows is continuous, arrows are flying in the sky, and the left and right vanguard formations have already faced the left and right cavalry of the Liao army. The sound of galloping hooves is loud and shocking.

The ground trembled slightly. The shouts of killing and screams resounded through the sky. However, the fire and gun army marched in the center of the infantry and infantry formation with neat steps, as if they were reviewing the emperor's review in Bianjing.

After the official formation of the army, the Fire Gun Army was organized into six battalions. When they went out, each battalion formed a square formation with fifty horizontal columns and ten vertical rows. Ten soldiers in each column were the most basic team.

Ten pounds of heavy infantry armor, worn by the rest of the soldiers

It is a thirty-pound light-stepping armor. The commander stands at the front of the team. When the muskets are fired from behind, they must hold up their spears to prevent the enemy from approaching and disrupt the formation of the firecrackers camp. Behind the commander is the deputy commander. If there is no

If he dies, all the muskets will be destroyed

He lit the fire with a fire stick. Before Zhao Xingde reorganized the fire gun battalion, the two soldiers were captains. Behind the deputy commander, they were arranged from high to low according to their qualifications and status in the team.

Only the last one

, the most senior soldiers who are not officers hold the formation. Behind the veterans is the military law team specially allocated by the commanding yamen for the fire gun battalion. Dutou stands in the right gap of every ten columns of soldiers, and the battalion commander stands in the entire

The front right of the battalion formation.

Everyone in the Fire Gun Army, including Zhao Xingde, is an infantryman carrying a fire gun. Behind the army commander is a flag officer carrying a big flag. The commanders of each capital camp have their heads, and long flags are hung on

On the blunderbuss tube, Zhao Xingde stood on the entire fire

On the right front of the gun army, Yuhou Su Wenyu and several loud-voiced flag officers assisted him in issuing orders. All the commanders of the first row only needed to look to the right to see all the direct subordinates including the military commander Zhao Xingde.

Senior officer.

In the eyes of the officers above the head of the six fire gun battalions, Zhao Xingde's expression did not look like he was on the battlefield at all. He frowned and stared into the distance, but it did not seem like he was observing the fighting situation between the two armies, but more like he was in a daze.

.

"If a stray arrow hits me, maybe the Fire Gun Battalion will not collapse." Zhao Xingde thought to himself, "They should hate me. I will not lead the officers to drink and gamble like Han Shizhong, and my martial arts are not good.

, but used military orders that the soldiers could not understand at all.

I severely restrained them. With only fifteen days, I didn't have time to win over people's hearts and cultivate prestige. I left a cold-blooded and ruthless impression on all six battalions. Now the Fire Gun Battalion relies entirely on military orders, not generals.

An army united by prestige."

Just as he was thinking this, the uneasiness of the Fire Gun Army because of the impending battle was relieved a lot by Zhao Xingde's calm attitude. Some thought, "The Lord Commander thinks so highly of this person surnamed Zhao."

, no wonder he is so confident." Some thought, "Anyway, it's a death. If this guy named Zhao dares to run first, I'm going to shoot him in the back." Some thought, "I just missed the military order to advance, and I was pushed from behind."

Leaving, no

If you fall into the eyes of this surnamed Zhao, you can eat his military stick afterwards." Some eyes only looked at their own toes, muttering "Left, right, left, right..." Fire Gun Camp

Like a balloon tautened by all kinds of anxious emotions, many people had no time to think about the problems they were about to face the Khitan people. Just as they were moving forward with a calm pace, the front line

The infantry has already entered the Liao army's formation.

Zhao Xingde saw it and said in a deep voice: "Get ready!"

"Prepare--"

"Prepare--"

The battalion commander and the commander shouted orders loudly, and some nervous soldiers almost dropped the muskets in their hands. Many people silently chanted in their hearts, "It's just preparation." "It's just preparation." In the previous training,

Many people were overly nervous and began to unload their spears and stabs when they heard "Ready--ready--" and suffered a lot.

Looking over the heads of the friendly formations in front, the commanders of each battalion could already see the chaotic battlefield. The Song and Liao armies were fighting with swords and guns going back and forth. There were people shouting and horses neighing everywhere, and the sound of arrows piercing the sky was endless.

, some kept falling into the Chinese army's formation, and corpses began to stumble on the ground, with bright red blood flowing everywhere.

Seeing that the Song Army was getting closer and closer to the artillery fort, Xiao Dabu, the commander-in-chief of the Liao Army, was forced to once again order the Tiebei Battalion to go out to intercept the Song Army.

Accompanied by the sound of clanking iron chains, Xu Ding stood up again. He was lucky last time in the battle, and all five slaves in this group were fine. In the last battle, the Song people fell into a scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere.

, Xu Ding will never forget it, and he forces himself to forget it. Opposite him are still Han Chinese who have the same culture and clan, and they still have to use crazy killing to survive. "I will definitely do it."

It's an endless hell." Xu Ding whispered, and his words were heard by Zhang Zhouhou, a Han prisoner beside him. Zhang Zhouhou murmured: "We Han children will live in hell now." As the Xi tribe officer followed

After giving the order, the Tiebei Battalion came to the rear of the front line of Liao troops with heavy steps. After the Liao army cavalry in front of them slowly retreated from both sides, Xu Ding saw the fearful eyes of the Song soldiers.

"Kill!" the Xi tribe officer urged from behind, and the Tiebei camp moved forward with slow and heavy steps. The infantry of the Song army, which had been so brave just now, automatically retreated. Just when Xu Ding faintly felt that the Southern Dynasty people were bloodless.

When I feel disappointed, suddenly from the opposite side

Dozens of soldiers in light armor came out from the chaotic army and rushed to the front of the Iron Wall Camp almost as if they were going to die. Facing the heavy axes and sharp blades coming in like a wall, they refused to dodge, and some of them hugged the front row.

Some of the soldiers of the Iron Wall Battalion tried their best to squeeze into the back row of the Iron Wall Battalion.

"Are these Southern Dynasty people crazy?" Zhang Zhouhou muttered.

A Song soldier had half of his shoulder crushed by the mace immediately. He fell to the ground exhausted, still desperately holding the feet of the soldiers of the Iron Biying. The soldiers of the Iron Biying were wearing heavy armor and it was inconvenient to bend down, so they only used the mace to hit them one after another.

His body was almost smashed into a ball of flesh and blood, but his hands were still holding the enemy tightly. At this moment, there were only several loud sounds of "boom, boom, boom", and the thunderous thunder carried by the soldiers of Song Dynasty began to

They exploded one after another.

The chin of the Shiwei man who was holding the mace was blown away by the iron block on the spot. The thunderous explosion sent out iron pieces in all directions, and at the same time, thick sulfur smoke was emitted, causing the Liao Army's Tiebei Camp to cough and cough.

A ball.

Despite the presence of the Fire Gun Battalion, Wang Yan still did not give up the plan of Zhentian Lei Death Soldiers. The invitation to the Liao Army this time was of great importance and could not be missed. Even if dozens of lives were sacrificed, victory must be ensured on the side of the Song Dynasty.

Taking advantage of the fact that the front line of the Liao army, including the Tiebi camp, was in chaos due to the thunder, the Song army's forward line moved to both sides, and the Fire Gun Army, which was originally in the middle of the formation, advanced in front of the Liao army.

The thunderous explosions continued. Zhao Xingde silently watched the death of dozens of Song Dynasty people. The corners of his eyes felt moist. He suppressed the ups and downs in his chest and ordered in a deep voice: "Take over."

"Receive-formation-"

Under Dutou's order, the commander of the first platoon squatted half-crouched on the ground and held up the seven-foot iron spear. The deputy commander of the second platoon removed the spear bayonet, set up the fire blunderbuss, and at the same time took out the fire gun and blew into it a few times.

, let the open fire burn brightly, third row, first

The four rows of soldiers also removed their spear thorns, and hung the noose of the wooden stick at the back end of the spear thorn on the hook on the blunderbuss tube so that it could be set up at any time. The six rows of soldiers behind still kept their spears thorns on the blunderbuss to alert the enemy to fire.

The battalion's close assault.

Three hundred muskets have been set up and aimed at the still chaotic Liao army ahead.

"ignition--"

Following the command, the deputy commander used a fire stick to light the medicine primer inserted into the small hole in the breech of the gun tube. The three thousand soldiers held their breath, and the deputy commanders in charge of igniting the fire even had their hearts hanging in their throats, feeling hungry.

The sizzling sound of burning sounded more like a drumbeat. This was a double dose of medicine. In the entire fifteen days of training, the damn general only allowed them to fire live ammunition with a single dose of medicine once.

The ignition of the medicine was very short, and the burning time was also very short. A "bang" sound broke through the deathly silence in the fire gun camp, and then, like setting off firecrackers during the New Year, the sounds of "bang bang bang bang" continued one after another.

In a very short period of time, three hundred fire cannons were fired one after another. Thick smoke rose from the fire cannon camp, and iron projectiles like a storm flew towards the Liao people.

Xu Ding was still coughing in the smoke, and he didn't pay attention to the crackling sound from the other side. In the blink of an eye, he suddenly felt something like a hidden weapon like a locust stone coming from the opposite side. Before his brain could react, something came out of his mouth.

Ask the five countries around you

Xie Ye: "What's going on?" Before Xie Ye could turn his head around, suddenly, a firecracker pierced his iron mask on the spot. Xie Ye groaned and fell headfirst. The iron chain
