Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 519 Helpless Charge

The army announced a military order that no one is allowed to enter private houses without authorization, no one is allowed to eat or drink, and no one is allowed to go out to eat in principle.

Xixia is a half-agricultural and half-pastoral country. The size of Xiping Prefecture is the size of a county town. The city walls are not high and the city is not big.Tao Zongwang led his troops to station in Xiping Mansion to repair the roads on both sides.

According to Chailin's plan, the transportation of the luggage to Xiping Mansion is considered to be the end, and the transportation will be carried forward by horses, mules, and camels.

The merchants in Xiping Mansion were greatly surprised. They thought they must be robbed to the bottom, but they didn't expect that no one would touch them at all.

The army rested for three days, prepared troops and went straight to Xingqing Mansion. Autumn is the season when the horses are tall and the horses are fat. It is the time when the Xixia people are fighting grass valleys. I didn't expect that it is a bit miserable now, and people are blocking the door.

Outside the east gate of the Xixia Xingqing Mansion, Chai Lin led an army of [-] to line up.

Arranged a sandwich bread formation.

Five hundred honeycomb guns were in front, followed by eight thousand musketeers with heavy cavalry on the left and right wings, and Lu Fang's thousands of cavalry at the rear.

As for the team of cultivating the teacher's way, they are with Chai Lin's Chinese army.

Zhong Shidao's old face is dull, is this obvious? He is worried that the cavalry of the Western Army will not be able to withstand it and will attack his formation.

"Marshal, military advisor, our thousands of cavalry are of little use in the central army," Zhong said.

Wu Yong pointed to the formation and said: "We call the formation of thousands of artillery pieces, and the Xixia army will definitely not be able to resist it. Once the Xixia army was defeated, the heavy cavalry on both wings attacked, and the light cavalry of Mr. Zhong charged up behind the heavy cavalry. So don’t worry about getting out.”

"Oh, I see."

Zhong Shidao has never seen such a formation, so he watched it carefully.

The Xixia army has left the city, and it is obviously already a last stand.

A patchwork of two thousand iron kites led the way, followed by ten thousand light cavalry, followed by thirty thousand light infantry.There are still [-] light cavalry and [-] light infantry defending the city. This is the last property. If it is over, the Great Xia Kingdom will perish.

The Xixia people started to attack, and the drums of the cowhide battle were shocking, boom boom, and the horns were blowing loudly.

The cavalry slowly accelerated. The Xixia people knew the weapons of the Cangzhou Army, so they adopted a loose formation, and the heavy cavalry should not charge too densely. Once densely packed, they would easily trample on each other.

The first five hundred honeycomb guns are very different today. The guns are connected by chains, and the guns are equipped with wooden spikes for quick installation.

Li Ying's face sank like water, and the more battles he had, the more calm he became. In fact, the task of his thousand artillerymen was very simple. He waited for the enemy to enter the [-]-shot range and then lit and fired.

Then put the honeycomb cannons in formation and act as a refusal to stand in front of the gunners.

The iron harrier began to charge. The distance between the two sides was not far, only more than 1000 meters in total, and they charged together.

Following Chai Lin's order, the [-] [-]-caliber heavy artillery located in front of the Chinese army opened fire, boom boom boom, shells the size of small watermelons fell into the iron kite's team.

The cavalry's heart was broken, so far away, it's still two miles away, and the shells are all over, can people still live?
The artillery shells fell relatively scattered. The [-] shells knocked out at least [-] cavalry, and both light and heavy cavalry suffered great losses.

But the Xixia people are brave and useless. Once they charge, they can't stop.

Heavy cavalry charged ahead, followed by light cavalry and light infantry.

After the heavy artillery fired a round, the shotgun began to change. When the second round of artillery fired, the enemy had already reached a distance of 400 meters.

"Face the gust of wind." Liu Tang roared and gave the order to fire.

Eight hundred cannons fired at the same time. This kind of shock made people's ears collapse.

The Chinese army's sense of teaching and morality makes me feel like I'm about to have a heart attack, it's too shocking.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The iron sand like migrating locusts smashed over, and regardless of the severity of the cavalry on the opposite side, as long as they were hit, they all fell off their horses, really like falling wheat straw in a strong wind.

Almost half of the heavy cavalry and light cavalry were beaten down, and the remaining cavalry stepped on the bones of their comrades and continued to charge forward, because there was no way to stop at this time, and they could only trample on each other.

The hive guns were at the ready, and the hands that held the torches began to shake from the great battle.

"ignition."

The torches lit the fuzes, and the honeycomb guns fired. Although the small cannons were small in power, they were numerous. Five hundred honeycomb guns were composed of five thousand small cannons.

No need to aim, no need to aim, a blind cat can touch a dead mouse.

The heart of the Xixia king on the top of the city is cold, he can see clearly that the light and heavy cavalry in front are finished.

"It's over, it's over. Let the infantry back."

"Your Majesty, it's too late. If you retreat, you will die, and if you advance, you will die. Let them die on the way to charge."

"Kill it." Seeing that there was only a hundred meters away, the Xixia soldiers came up, each one was full of energy, and their eyes were red.

Pounced, the formation changed at this time.

Eight thousand gunners came to the back of the honeycomb gun, and the honeycomb gun started shooting.

After several improvements, the Type [-] long-fire gun already has a high rate of fire and accuracy, and there is no need for three-stage shooting.

Everyone took the guns and aimed at them.

Where extremely high breathing skills are needed, more than half of Xixia's former army has been lost.What's even worse is that the [-] heavy artillery were reloaded with blooming bombs and aimed at the tail of the Xixia Army for bombing.

The shells rained down, blowing up the entire tail of the team in an instant.

I don't know who was the first to run, but the Xixia soldiers finally couldn't take it anymore, and ran northward.

From this point of view, fleeing is a veteran. The recruits run to their own positions. The main general can only shoot his own people for the sake of formation and run to other places. The chance of survival is still very high.

Zhong Shidao's hand holding the rein of the horse was trembling, is this the end?Is this the end?

From the beginning to the end, I'm afraid it took less than a quarter of an hour. From the beginning to the end, Cangzhou has not yet been hand-to-hand.

Powerful firepower and dense rain of bullets covered the enemy like raindrops.

Of course it's not over, the battle is still going on.

On the right, Lin Chong led the heavy cavalry to charge, and their target was the light infantry who had escaped from Xixia.Holding crossbow arrows and scimitars, a fierce battle broke out.

Heavy armored cavalry charged light infantry, it was just like playing, no pressure.

Seeing that there were too many Xixia infantry, Chai Lin waved his flag, and the light cavalry from the Zhongshi Taoist Department dispatched to assist in the pursuit.

Qin Ming was envious, but he dared not move the flag.

On the battlefield, the most important thing is to obey the command. If something goes wrong accidentally, it may be a big trouble.

Li Ying led his army back with [-] honeycomb guns.The heavy artillerymen and gunners pushed the heavy artillery forward slowly and stopped at the east gate of Xingqing Mansion.

The artillerymen are preparing, and a solid iron egg the size of a small watermelon is loaded in. The solid iron egg is still powerful when hitting the city wall.
