Chapter 334 The Fighting Nation
Leijiabao
Xuanhua militia army was in the second battalion of the city brigade.
The battle has been going on for an hour.
This is actually the modern Huailai County Town, as for the Huailai County Town at this time...
It’s under the Guanting Reservoir!
However, at this time, this place was just an abandoned village. There were large trucks filled with sacks connected to the ends of the ruins. As for the sacks, of course, they were not food, but they were actually pine towers, but watered to prevent them from being ignited. Defensive wooden boards were set up on one side, and countless spears were extended outwards between the wooden boards, and the spear rods were fixed with iron rings installed on the car, and the other side was penetrated into special holes on these wooden boards...
All vehicles are the same.
Whether it is a horse, donkey, or a ox cart, they are all special chariots.
This is also used exclusively for militia outside the Great Wall, especially transport teams. Usually these vehicles transport materials. Once attacked, they can be turned into a dedicated chariot by militias who have been trained countless times within one minute.
Even these vehicles are fixed to the ground with wooden piles, and the two vehicles are connected by iron chains to prevent being pushed away.
Each car has at least ten spears, the longest one is even close to three feet, and the two pieces are assembled, and the shortest one is eight feet long. The fixed iron ring at the tail can be quickly removed. The militia stands behind the wooden guardrail and can kill the enemy with the end of the guardrail through the guardrail. But these are not the main weapons. The main weapons are crossbows and firearms. All militias and their families have such weapons. Even women have special pulley crossbows. Although their power is not as powerful as the Divine Arm Bow, it is still easy to shoot light armored cavalry to death.
And it is equipped with large guns.
At this moment, Liu Ying, the daughter of the battalion commander Liu Heipang, was holding her pulley crossbow and laying on the collapsed earth wall. Through the gap in front, he aimed at the Mengwu cavalry running past outside the chariot city.
The latter kept shooting sharp arrows here as he ran.
But the three-eyed guns in the hands of the militia in Checheng were also constantly spraying flames, and the Mongolian cavalry kept getting shot and falling off their horses.
Liu Ying aimed at a leader, but the latter was crossing the front. It was not easy to shoot such a fast moving target. She had to wait for the best opportunity...
"put!"
Her father's roar suddenly rang out not far away.
Immediately afterwards, a large gun there spewed out flames.
The dense shotgun swept across the Mongolian cavalry, and the leader-like war horse was shot and fell in front of the formation.
He struggled to get up...
Liu Ying pulled the trigger without hesitation.
A wooden feather arrow flew out instantly. The leader was raising his head and calling for help from his subordinates. The crossbow arrow hit his forehead. The guy fell to the side with the astonishment on his face.
Liu Ying quickly retracted back to the earth wall with calm expression, kicked the crossbow arms with both legs, pulled away the crossbow specially used for women, and then reinstalled a wooden feather arrow.
Her family was not from Song, to be precise, from Liao, from Han people in Weizhou, and the Jurchens captured Weizhou. After that, war continued. Her father took her to Yanshan and then joined the Changsheng Army. However, during the Yanshan defensive war, her father broke his arm. Although he saved his life, he could no longer fight. Fortunately, the King of Zhongshan has always been meticulous in the resettlement of disabled veterans. Not only did he send her a new mother, he also appointed her father as the militia battalion commander and returned to Xuanhua Reclamation with a settlement camp.
But unexpectedly, because of Mengwu's invasion, she had just begun to live a stable life, and she had to face the test of war again.
Fortunately, she got used to it.
She started going through war since she was ten years old, which was nothing.
She quickly turned around and lay down on the gap.
It happened that a Mengwu cavalry took a risk and aimed at her more than ten feet away. He also saw her. Then the bow and arrow in her hand pointed at her. She pulled the trigger without hesitation. The arrows in both hands flew out almost at the same time, but the accuracy of the crossbow was obviously not comparable to that of the bow. The wooden feather arrow hit the target's chest and instantly penetrated the chain armor. The arrow shot by the Mengwu cavalry flew past her head.
She quickly retracted with cold sweat.
Then install the arrow again...
"put!"
Her father's roar rang again.
However……
The next moment, in the earth-shaking explosion, the firelight dyed everything around her red, and in her instinctively hugging her head and screaming, the smoke and dust of the explosion also instantly submerged her.
It was exploded.
This kind of thing is not uncommon, and we cannot blame the quality of the gun.
Of course, the quality of this thing is indeed not good. It is just something cast by cast iron. At this time, the large guns no longer use bronze for the cost. At least the large guns of the militia will not use bronze. The militia's weapons are purchased by themselves, and it is still too exaggerated to use bronze. Some of the people who are reluctant to buy can even make a stove to cast, cast cast iron, and wrought iron hoops.
In fact, the shape is not a bowl-mouth gun, but it is closer to a light cannon like a tiger squat cannon. The regular army is indeed standard equipment, but the militia just do it casually and have any kind of imagination.
Such things are still fighting continuously, and the intervals are sufficiently cooled down, but who can still consider this in real battle. They are launched as quickly as possible, and it is normal to explode the chamber.
Liu Ying quickly woke up from the smoke and dust...
"Dad!"
She screamed and rushed towards the big gun.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the smoke and dust dissipated slightly. The explosion immediately appeared in front of her. Her father and several soldiers around him were covered in blood and were wailing on the ground. She pounced on her father, but she couldn't tell where she was injured. She was about to untickle her clothes and check, but suddenly there was a burst of excited howling behind her.
Her father's eyes also opened...
"Hurry, hurry, don't let the Tartars come in!"
Her father said.
Liu Ying turned around and looked behind her.
The explosion of the large gun affected the chariots in front. The two chariots were in a mess. Although more than a dozen militias who relied on the chariots to defend were not killed, they were all injured more or less. More importantly, the two chariots were overturned by the power of the explosion. A large number of Mongolian cavalry who were originally galloping outside were rushing towards this gap excitedly, and even the vanguard had rushed into the defense circle. Several militias who reacted first immediately got up with injuries and drew their swords to fight with these Mongolians.
But the latter is a cavalry.
Without the blockage of the chariots, their impact power is not something that a small number of infantry can withstand.
"quick!"
Her father urged.
Liu Ying gritted her teeth and threw down her father, grabbed her crossbow and shot one first.
"Use this!"
At the same time, her new mother crawled over with her shield and her feet on her back. This woman, who is said to be a Jurchen noble, was very satisfied with her new identity. Although she did not have a harmonious relationship with her stepdaughter, she still showed her loyalty to her man at this time.
Besides, there are Mengwu people outside, and the Mengwu people are not her tribe members.
And she had a leather pocket hanging around her neck.
Without hesitation, Liu Ying reached out and took out a porcelain ball larger than his fist from it. The thing was covered with sharp corners and tied it to a hemp rope with iron wire. At the same time, her new mother took out a piece of burning fuse and directly poked it into a small hole on it, where sparks immediately appeared...
OK, this is a grenade.
Porcelain grenade.
It is not easy to cast a grenade with pig iron. Casting hollow cast iron balls is a real technology, but an identical hollow porcelain ball can be made in a workshop that burns porcelain. Although its power is definitely not as powerful as pig iron, even the power of pig iron in this era is a slack. In fact, unless the level of ten thousand enemies used to defend the city, it cannot be expected to blow up the enemy to death. The real purpose is to scare people, especially war horses, especially war horses such as the Mongols who lack training in this aspect.
Liu Ying looked at the two sides who were fighting bloody battles just two feet away in front.
At this time, the other two large guns on both sides had already opened fire, and shot at the Mongols at the breakthrough with shotguns. The dozen Mongol cavalry who poured in immediately fell down in the cross-shooting of shotguns.
But the militia who were blocking them also fell.
At this time, there is no need to care about this.
There are still many women in this car city. Although the old man and the children are not there, there are still many young women here in order to make the Mongols do whatever they want. Once the formation is broken, the reinforcements that can be evenly produced on both sides are also coming. The militia at the front are heading with spears, chopped with axes and guns, and even chopped the horse's legs with knives, and the ones behind are shooting with three-eyed guns and crossbows. The Mongol cavalry on the horse's back also stabbed with spears, chopped with knives, and shot with bows and arrows. The entire breakthrough point was killed into a sea of corpses and blood.
Even dead bodies quickly piled up.
The grenade in Liu Ying's hand flew out immediately.
The ability to train herd her sheep from a young age made the horsetail grenade with Mars fly ten feet away in an instant, and suddenly landed among the reinforcements of the Mongolian cavalry behind, even hitting the chest of one of the cavalry, and then bounced and landed on the back of the horse in front of his stomach.
He lowered his head in shock. Before he could see what it was, the grenade turned into a ball of explosive flame, and blood and flesh splattered in the explosion. The explosion less than one foot made his stomach torn apart in an instant, and he fell backward in a strange shape.
The same blood and flesh splattered were the war horse under his crotch.
The cavalry on both sides were frightened and turned around instinctively, and then the companion running behind him immediately bumped into him.
The original charge suddenly became chaotic.
And at this moment, the second grenade exploded above their heads.
The chaos intensifies.
Those frightened war horses even turned around instinctively.
"Kill, kill the Tartars!"
Liu Ying stood there screaming.
She took ponytail grenades from her new mother regardless of the sharp arrows that kept falling from her head, and then accurately threw them into the subsequent Mengwu cavalry with her ability to shed her sheep.
The flames kept exploding among the chaotic Mongolian cavalry.
Chapter completed!
