Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The sound of cannons stopped and stopped, 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 uttered a cry, blocking the onslaught of thousands of people like a dam. The mortars couldn't stop the attack of the sea of ​​people, the two armies were stalemate and the sound of killing was loud, corpses were all over the hillside, and the wounded soldiers were crying to the sky.

Behind the coalition forces, more enemy soldiers joined the front line, and the Xu army line fought to the death without retreating. The staff of the Qianying Military Mansion shouted in the army: "The foundation of the dynasty is built with Erlang's blood!"

The spring breeze crosses the continuous ravines and blows over the vast boiling battlefield, with the smell of blood and people's shouts in the wind. Guo Shao's heart was tense, and the palm of the hand holding the sword hilt was covered with sweat. The wet touch reminded people of blood on the hand. He couldn't help but blurted out: "The great cause of the empire does not depend only on weapons, the spirit of the Han family will last forever!"

Wang Pu and Li Chuyun were both at the side. Li Chuyun heard this and said: "It's all because of the loyalty of the soldiers to His Majesty. The sun and the moon can learn from each other."

At this moment, the enemy cavalry in the distance finally moved! A large group of horses slowly surged from the hillside and valley to the north of Xu Jun's camp.

To the north, the right wing of Da Xu's army. At this time, Xu Jun's first army fine cavalry was deployed in the rear (west) of the infantry formation, and the cavalry of the coalition army was preparing to attack from the flanks to assist the infantry in the front... The two armies on the front were stalemate, and the conventional way to break the stalemate in the battle formation was to inject new forces!

The gunpowder smoke was scattered among the mountains, and the rumble of the horses in the north kicked up the yellow dust, as if to sweep the entire mountain and river. The Dangxiang infantry attack in the east has become more violent, and its strength has continued to increase.

The sun has just risen in the sky, and half a day has not passed, but the battle has intensified, and it is time for the fish to die and the net to be broken.

... On the gentle and undulating hillside in the distance, the dark horizon is undulating, it is a herd of horses! "Rumbling..." The sound seemed to be coming from all directions, and it seemed to be the sound of magma surging in a large area under the ground.

The cavalry group flocked to one mile away, and the soldiers divided into two groups, all the way straight to the right wing of Xu Jun's large formation, and all the way straight to the direction where Xu Jun's rear wing deployed the cavalry. Pieces of cavalry were still jogging, and their speed had obviously started to pick up.

At this time, the sonorous sound of a pipa resounded suddenly amidst the sound of horseshoes and the noise of the crowd, which could be faintly heard. Then many pipas were played together, and drums and horizontal blows were also added to make the tune louder. "House of Flying Daggers"!

The melody of the pipa made the battlefield full of screams, pain and yellow dust seem a little more colorful.

The sonorous tune, with a bit of sadness, spreads a chilling air among the galloping horses and the mountains full of swords and guns.

Amid the familiar sound of the pipa, the soldiers in the battle pulled out the thatch one after another, and the five-foot-long bronze cannons revealed their ferocious faces! The sound of the guns glowed with a dim metallic luminescence in the sunlight.

"Shua!" The general in command of the 1,500-strong artillery force drew his sword, with an excited expression on his face. The gong players on the side grabbed the stick handles and waited with staring eyes.

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

The sound of horseshoes became louder, and the sound of killing suddenly rose, and countless iron hooves rushed out. The tune of Flying Daggers is like the accompaniment of cavalry charging.

At this moment, the sound of a gong suddenly joined in, followed by a loud "boom"! In the flash of gunpowder smoke, an iron ball weighing ten catties arrived between the horses in an instant, and it flew across quickly and drew a smooth parabola with a large arc, "Bang!" Yiqi who was running didn't know what happened at all, and he couldn't call out. Suddenly, a piece of his head was missing! Flesh, broken bones, and brains splashed into the air.

Then, the two riders behind suddenly turned over on their backs, and a knight uttered a terrified cry, and the horse groaned and turned over. Between lightning and flint, the iron ball hit the hard earth and stone ground, "Bang!" The horizontal angle was very small, and it immediately bounced up!

A party cavalryman at the rear saw the black hot iron ball fly up, but it was too fast, the speed was completely disproportionate to the person's reaction, with howling wind, the person watched the iron ball hit his side chest in an instant. "Bang!" He was almost knocked into the air, the sound of bones breaking could be heard clearly, and he passed out immediately.

The iron ball deviated in the direction and bounced on the ground several times, and finally the speed became slower and rolled on the ground. Among the horse herds, one line turned its back on its back, and the people were terrified, as if a strong wind was blowing through the wheat field.

A row of lightning flashed on Xu Jun's camp, white smoke rose, and after a while, the "boom..." louder than the sound of horseshoes spread to the continuous mountains.

The herd of horses pervading the entire hillside seemed to have been cursed by the heavens in an instant, or struck by an earthquake and lightning. It was a sudden disaster! The crowd was in a mess, panicked shouts and screams were everywhere, bloody, and banners collapsed and discarded in pieces.

But that's just the beginning! The artillery fire of the second round of salvo quickly sent out a roar that shook the sky.

After the third round of salvo, the first artillery team to fire was already busy cleaning the barrel with brushes, because the copper cannon was heavy, and it took a lot of effort... Then they had to pour gunpowder into the barrel with a weighed wooden tube; wipe lard, wrap iron balls in sackcloth and stuff them into the barrel (for airtightness), and then stab it in with a wooden stick shouting!

... The striker of the coalition army was frightened by the artillery, but couldn't stop charging, because if they stopped, they would be hit by the horses behind! He could only rush towards Xu Jun's infantry formation gradually slowing down and chaotically.

Facing them is the command of Xu Jun's infantry in a queue. Each commander squatted in the front three rows, and the front two squatted in staggered steps, thrusting the tail of the nearly ten-foot-long spear obliquely into the ground, holding the wooden handle with both hands;

Along the back of the gentle slope, the position is slightly higher. It is six rows of matchlock gunners.

The ten generals held the barrier knife high and said: "Get ready!" A crane flag at the head of the row fell forward and waved again like a dragonfly on water. The soldiers in the first row knelt on one knee, and the soldiers in the second row stood up, raising iron pipe firearms together.

"Let go!" Immediately, the standing row first heard a "cracking" sound, and then the kneeling row immediately fired again.

On the hillside, crackling peas were heard everywhere, and gunpowder smoke billowed up in rows. The coalition cavalry rushed into this formation from the front, and the fright after the shelling caused confusion. It was a disaster to approach at this time!

A knight trembled all over on his horse, blood spattered from his chest, and the saber in his hand flew away, screaming and hissing his lungs. The herd of horses was in chaos, and their own people also collided with each other.

... "Boom, boom..." The crisp drums sounded first, and soon Hengfeng and Xiao Ye played together in front of the Chinese army, and the golden gongs also joined in, forming a very rhythmic tune; there was a slight adaptation in the tune, and the drums did not stop. "General Order"!

The melody of wind music is very similar to Jackie Chan's "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant". This song distracted Guo Shao of the Chinese Army because it was so familiar.

When Shi Yanchao heard the change of the melody, Shi Yanchao immediately grabbed his spear and shouted without any pause or nonsense, "Kill!"

Dong Zunhui pointed forward with a gold saber inlaid with precious stones, and the tiger-shaped army flag with the tiger pattern in front of him was also laid flat to the front, and the cavalry group who lined up began to slowly start their horseshoes after him.

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

There was a burst of shouting from the crowd: "Long live!"

The cavalry of the coalition army was also bombarded in depth at this time, so they ran around in panic and chaos. The cavalry group moves quickly, but it is not easy to retreat suddenly before the battle, because there are too many people and it will be crowded! The people in the middle are eager to run, but at the end some will run, and some will be confused. It takes time and more organization to go from forward to backward. In the face of this sudden chaos, the flags of the coalition forces were all gone, and the people and horses were in a mess.

Shi Yanchao's heavy cavalry was the first to charge towards the front flank of the rebellious army at high speed. The formation was roughly in the shape of a Chinese character, charging fast, and the front end was as easy as a sharp arrow shooting through the window paper, and went straight into the enemy group. The cavalry on the two wings also rushed in quickly.

In the crowd of horses, the galloping heavy cavalry roared towards the coalition army like a typhoon, and the waving knives and guns danced like countless water droplets of boiling water in the sun. Flesh and flesh flew under the wheels of war, and tens of thousands of people shouted crazily!

The artillery was still roaring, and the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood were mixed together. Adjusting the elevation angle of the muzzle, it was firing at the mid-tail of the coalition cavalry group 1,500 feet away. The rear was even more chaotic, causing chaos and congestion on the entire hillside; the gap between the cavalry was relatively large, but they couldn't run fast when they were chaotic. The scene was noisy and chaotic, it was simply horrible. On the edge of the hillside, a large number of horsemen scattered and fled in all directions in disregard of the military orders.

The cavalry of the Huben Army are like tigers in the battle at this time. The high-moralized and angry cavalry faces a group of frightened people! Shi Yanchao's subordinates yelled, swung a long-handled horse-chopping sword with both hands, caught up with Yiqi, aimed at Liaoqi's back, and slashed obliquely. The light of the saber reflected the sunlight flashed, and amidst the clatter of metal impacts, the saber pierced through the mail armor, and with a "clang", blood droplets splashed with dark red mist.

An iron gun flew to a horse's hip, and there was a scream of "hiss...", the horse fell over as if it was sitting down suddenly, and the knight on it yelled and waved his hands.

Shi Yanchao's men and horses rushed very quickly, only to penetrate the depth of the coalition forces, and the battlefield was in chaos. A Liao soldier stood in front of a dead horse, holding a bloody arm in his left hand, raised his head and cried loudly.

The loess was reddened, and in some places, blood and loess were mixed together, just like rained mud.
