The seven hundred and seventieth chapter of the battle of the Undetermined River (2)

The sound of cannons stopped at once, but the sound of fighting did not stop for a moment.

The heavy infantry of the Third Army on the gentle slope to the east made a shout, blocking the fierce attack of thousands of people like a dam. The mortar cannon cannot stop the attack of the sea of ​​people. The two armies were stalemate and killed the sky, and the bodies were covered with hillsides, and the wounded soldiers cried to the sky.

In the rear of the coalition, more enemy soldiers were thrown into the front line, and Xu's front line fought to the death. The staff of the former camp military office shouted in the army: "The foundation of the dynasty is built with the blood of my son!"

The spring breeze crossed the continuous ravine and brushed across the boiling battlefield. The wind was filled with the smell of blood and the shouts of people. Guo Shao's heart was tense, and his hands holding the hilt were full of sweat. The damp touch reminded people of the blood in his hands. He couldn't help but blurt out: "The great cause of the empire is not only based on weapons, but the spirit of the Han family will last forever!"

Wang Pu and Li Chuyun were both beside him. When Li Chuyun heard this, he bowed: "It is because the soldiers are loyal to His Majesty, and the sun and the moon can be seen."

At this moment, the enemy cavalry in the distance finally moved! A large herd of horses slowly surged from the hillside and into the valley to the north of the Xu army camp.

On the north, the right wing of the Daxu Army. At this time, the elite cavalry of the first army of the Xu Army was deployed behind the infantry formation (west), and the movement of the coalition cavalry was to prepare to attack with flanks and assist the frontal infantry... The two frontal armies were in a stalemate, and the conventional way to open a stalemate on the battle formation was to invest new strength!

The smoke of gunpowder spreads in the mountains, and the rumbling of horses in the north stomping up the yellow dust, as if it was about to sweep across the entire mountain and river. The Dangxiang infantry in the east attack became more fierce and its troops were increasing one after another.

The sun had just risen to mid-air, and half a day had not passed, but the battle had become increasingly fierce, and it was time to break the death toll.

...On the gentle and undulating hillside in the distance, the dark horizon is fluctuating and undulating, which is the herd of horses! "Rumbling..." The sound seemed to come from all directions, and it was like the sound of magma below surging on a large area.

The cavalry flocked to one mile away, and the troops were divided into two groups, heading straight to the right wing of the Xu army's formation, and heading straight to the direction of the deployment of the cavalry in the rear wing of the Xu army. The large number of cavalry were still jogging, and the speed had obviously begun to accelerate.

At this time, a clanging sound of the pipa suddenly sounded amid the sound of horse hooves and the noise of the crowd, and could be heard faintly. Then many pipas followed, and drums and horizontal blows also joined in, making the song louder. "Ten-sided Ambush"!

The melody of the pipa made this scream and pain, and the battlefield of yellow dust seemed to have a little more color.

The sonorous song, with a bit of sadness, spreads between the horses galloping and the mountains with swords and guns.

Amid the familiar sound of the pipa, the soldiers on the formation pulled open the thatch one after another, and the five-foot-long copper cannons showed their ferocious faces! The sound of the cannons was shining with a dull metallic cold light in the sun.

"Swish!" The general who commanded the artillery army composed of 1,500 people drew out his sword and showed an excited expression on his face. The gongs on the side grabbed the handle of the stick and stared at him and waited.

The vanguard of the cavalry group that spread across the coalition forces took the lead in charge about 600 feet away! The horses behind extended to more than a thousand feet away. The horses that had not yet launched an attack were relatively dense because they were jogging and were not fast.

The sound of horse hooves became even louder, and the shouts of killing suddenly rose, and countless iron hooves ran out quickly. The melody of ambushing on all sides was like the accompaniment of cavalry charges.

At this moment, the sound of gongs suddenly joined in, followed by a loud "boom"! In the flash of gunpowder, a ten-pound iron ball had reached the horse's herd in an instant. It flew rapidly across and drew a smooth parabola of large arcs. "Bang!" The running horseman didn't know what was going on at all, and could not scream. Suddenly, a piece of his head was missing! Flesh, bones, and brain matter splattered into the air.

Then, the two riders behind suddenly turned over and over, and a knight screamed in horror, and the war horses whistled over. In the midst of lightning, the iron ball hit the hard earth and stone floor. "Bang!" The horizontal angle was very small, and immediately jumped up!

A Dangxiang cavalry behind saw the black and hot iron ball flying with his own eyes, but it was too fast, and the speed was completely inconsistent with the human reaction. With the whistling strong wind, the man watched the iron ball hit his side chest in an instant. "Bang!" He was almost knocked away, and the sound of bone shattering was clearly audible, and he fainted immediately.

The iron ball deviated and bounced on the ground several times. Finally, the slower the speed, and it rolled on the ground. Among the crowds of horses, people were rushing up and overturning the horses, and people were frightened, as if a strong wind blew across the wheat field.

A row of lightning flashed in Xu Jun's camp, and white smoke rose. In a short while, the "boom..." Explosion louder than the sound of horse hooves spread to the continuous mountains.

The herd of horses that filled the hillside seemed to have encountered a curse from heaven in an instant, or as if they were struck by an earthquake and lightning. It was a sudden disaster! The crowd was in a mess, with panic screams and screams everywhere, bloody winds, and flags collapsed in pieces.

But this is just the beginning! The second round of volley fire quickly roared.

After the third round of volleys, the first artillery team was busy cleaning the barrel with a brush, because the copper cannon was very heavy and it took a lot of effort... Then they had to pour gunpowder into the barrel with a weighed wooden barrel; apply lard, wrap iron balls in linen, stuff them into the barrel (for airtightness), and then shout with the wooden stick and poke it in!

...The coalition vanguard was frightened by artillery, but could not stop charging, because he would be hit by the war horses behind him! He could only rush towards Xu Jun's infantry formation in a chaotic manner with a slowdown.

The Xu army and infantry commanded each commander in a row. Each commander squatted down in front of three rows, and two rows in front squatted in step, stumbled the tail of the nearly ten-foot-long spear to the ground, holding the wooden handle with both hands; the back row carried the spear on his shoulder, facing forward, preparing to poke the horse.

Along the gentle slope, the position is slightly higher. There are six rows of mezzanine gunmen.

Ten generals held a barrier knife and raised it high: "Prepare!" The crane flag at the top of the line fell forward, and waved it again like a dragonfly sifting through the water. The first row of soldiers knelt on one knee, and the second row of soldiers stood, lifting the iron pipe firearms together.

"Let's go!" Suddenly, the row standing there was a "crackling" sound, and then the row of kneeling alone shot again.

On the hillside, there were crackling sounds like beans everywhere, and smoke rose up in rows. The coalition cavalry rushed into this formation from the front, and the fright after the shelling caused chaos. It was a disaster to get close to it at this time!

A knight shook his whole body on his horse, blood splashed on his chest, and the saber in his hand flew away, screaming and neighing. The horses were in chaos, and their own people were rushing to overturn.

... "Dongdong, dong..." The crisp drum sounded first, and soon Hengchu and Xiao Ye played together in front of the central army, and Jin Luo also joined in to form a very rhythmic song; there was a slight adaptation in the song, and the drum sound was not stopped, and the drum beats were ringing at a constant rhythm, which was more adaptable to the tactical sense of rhythm. "General Order"!

The melody of wind music is very similar to Jackie Chan's "Men Should Strengthen Self-Enhancing". This song made Guo Shao, who was in the middle army, a little distracted because he was so familiar.

The rear wing iron armored cavalry group, Shi Yanchao immediately grabbed the spear without stopping or talking nonsense, and shouted: "Kill!"

Dong Zunhui pointed straight ahead with a sword inlaid with gems and gold, and the tiger army flag in front of him was also flattened to the front. The cavalry group in line began to slowly activate the horse's hooves as he followed him.

The war horses gradually accelerated and turned into a large group of galloping wild beasts. Dong Zunhui shouted: "God bless my emperor!"

A shout suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Long live!"

The coalition cavalry formation was bombarded by gunfire at this time, and they ran around in panic and messed up. The cavalry group moved very quickly, but it was not easy to suddenly retreat at the battle because there were too many people and it would be crowded! The people in the middle were anxious to run, but some of them would run at the end, and some would be confused. It took time to move forward to retreat, and it would be even more organized. In the face of this sudden chaos, the coalition flags were all gone, and the people were intertwined in a mess.

Shi Yanchao's heavy cavalry took the lead in charge at high speed toward the front flank of the rioters. The formation was roughly finished in shape and rushed rapidly. The front end was as easy as a sharp arrow shooting through the window paper, and it penetrated straight into the enemy group. The two-wing cavalry also quickly rushed in.

In the crowd of horses, the galloping heavy cavalry roared into the coalition army like a typhoon, and the swords and guns were waving like countless water droplets of boiling water jumping in the sun. The flesh and blood flew under the wheels of war, and the shouts of tens of thousands of people were very crazy!

The cannons were still roaring, and the smell of smoke and blood were blown into a ball. The muzzle adjusted its elevation angle and was aimed at the middle and tail shelling 1,500 feet away from the coalition cavalry group. The rear was even more chaotic, causing chaos and congestion on the entire hillside; the gap between the cavalry was relatively large, but it was not fast when it became messy. If the rear was too fast, the horses would become denser and denser! The scene was noisy and chaotic, which was simply terrible. At the edge of the hillside, a large number of horse soldiers dispersed and fled in all directions regardless of military orders.

The Hu Ben Army cavalry was a flock of tigers in the battle formation, with high morale and powerful cavalry facing a group of terrified people! Shi Yanchao's subordinates shouted, swung their long-handed slashing horses with both hands, chased a cavalry, aiming at the back of the Liao cavalry, and slashed it with a slash. The sword light reflected the sunlight flashed, and the clanging sound of metal hitting, the saber force penetrated the mail, and with a "clang", the blood beads splattered with red fog.

A spear flew to a horse's buttocks, and a screamed "near...". The horse fell like a sudden sitting down, and the knight above shouted and waved his hands.

Shi Yanchao's troops advanced very quickly, and only penetrated into the depths of the coalition forces, and there was a scattered group of people on the battlefield. A Liao soldier stood in front of a dead horse, holding a bloody arm in his left hand, tilting his head and crying.
