Chapter 56: Fighting of trapped beasts

"Sun Tzu" says, "If you put it in death, you will live, and if you put it in death, you will survive." Han Xin deeply understands this sentence, so it is a classic battle example of arranging the waters, which is said to be a beautiful story for all ages. Now Guo Kan is also in a dilemma of surviving and dying. Either he tear a hole to break out before the encirclement of the Song army was not stable, or he trapped the Song army and waited for death. For Guo Kan, who has never failed, he wanted to continue his glory, and of course he chose the latter.

The scene of the Changping War was reappeared today. After Zhao Kuo surrounded Bai Qi, he tried to break through without success. He fought for more than 40 days without success, and finally annihilated the Qin army. Guo Kan was a little anxious when he thought of these famous wars in history. Now he had to re-evaluate the technical and tactical level of the Song army. Now he realized that the current Song army is no longer the Song army of the past. Needless to say, the morale of the soldiers is high, and the technical and tactical level is of course of utmost importance. With significant progress, although there are still some gaps compared with the Mongolian army, these gaps are significantly narrowing. More importantly, the current Song army is much more decisive in command and has really implemented orders. The middle-level officers are smart and capable, good at judging the situation, making the most correct judgments, and exerting the troops in their hands to the extreme. These, in the past, only appeared in the Mongolian army, and the Song army was corrupt and could not be done at all, which really surprised Guo Kan.

Not to mention, the Song army also had the best equipment in their hands, with good quality chain mail. Not to mention the swords and arrows of Mongolian soldiers, the weapons in their hands were extremely sharp. The Mongolian scimitar was considered a famous weapon and would be cut off by accident.

What Guo Kan remembers most is that the Song army's hand-thrown cast iron bombs gave him the most headache. The Song army seemed to have a grudge against the cavalry. Hand-thrown cast iron bombs were just to trouble the cavalry. Throwing them at the cavalry often made people overturn the horse. The cavalry, the most sharp weapon of the Mongolian army, often had to pay a huge price to rush to the Song army in front of the hand-thrown cast iron bombs. Even if they rushed to the Song army, it was hard to say how much power they could exert. The reason was too simple. The Song army relied on earth walls to resist tenaciously, and the Mongolian army had to pay a huge price for every step forward.

Often, a wall of earth has to be repeatedly fought for, and the corpses accumulate like mountains and blood flows into rivers. The Mongolian army paid a heavy price to control it. The Song army obviously built so many walls after careful planning. The Mongolian army seized a wall of earth, and there were many roads. Guo Kan calculated roughly. If he continued to fight for the current price, he would have to pay at least 200,000 people to break out of the siege, while the Song army only had a price of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, which was not cost-effective.

After a little weighing, Guo Kan decided to use secret weapons and immediately ordered more than 100 refrigeration cannons to be transferred to the earth wall of the Song army. Two experts of refrigeration cannons Buber and Ava Laoding captured the Song army alive one after another. The Mongolians no longer had experts of refrigeration cannons. However, Guo Kan was extremely smart. After studying the drawings, he actually understood the tricks and built more than 100 spares. As a military strategist, Guo Kan understood the advantages and disadvantages between the Mongolian and the Song Dynasty. The advantage of Mongolia lies in the mobility of the cavalry, which can quickly advance and catch the Song army off guard. The advantage of the Song army lies in the possession of a strong city. If there were no such siege weapons as the Huihui cannon, it would be difficult to capture a strong city like Lin'an, so there were more than 100 refrigeration cannons.

Guo Kan's wonderful ideas are really amazing. He has made some improvements to the Huihui cannon. The Huihui cannon is much smaller, but its power is not reduced at all. In this way, the transportation of the Huihui cannon will be much more convenient and can keep up with the army's propulsion speed.

In order to increase the ability to siege, Guo Kan also cast a batch of cast iron bombs, each containing fifty kilograms of gunpowder. Although Guo Kan obtained Li Jun's improved gunpowder, he did not crack the formula. The gunpowder they used was not as powerful as the Song army, but the power of fifty kilograms was also quite powerful. The gunpowder that Guo Kan transported to Boyan last time was packed in cast iron barrels, so it was naturally not difficult for him to make cast iron bombs.

More than a hundred Huihuans stood quietly on the ground, aiming at the earth wall, like a greedy god of death. Huang Han saw it and was surprised that this Huihuan was very different from what he had seen before. He was much smaller, so he naturally couldn't understand the truth.

Mongolian soldiers transported cast iron bombs and piled them behind Huihui cannons, neatly and in excess of thousands. It seems that Guo Kan is determined to expose his secret weapons in advance. If these cast iron bombs are fired, they will be enough to razor the earth walls to the ground, and Huang Han and the Song army guarding behind will be shocked to death.

Guo Kan waved the scimitar, and the Mongolian soldiers moved the bomb to the Huihui cannon and ignited the fuse. In the earth-shaking sound of breaking through the air, more than a hundred cast iron bombs flew towards the earth wall with wonderful curves.

Huang Hanli knew something was wrong and ordered loudly: "Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly." Under his command, the Song army was busy retreating towards a dirt wall behind. As soon as the Song army retreated, more than a hundred cast iron bombs fell on the dirt wall. Balls of fire flashed, and a shocking loud noise came. The dirt wall that the Song army relied on immediately turned into flat ground, and the dust and sand splashed far away. If Huang Han had not seen the opportunity quickly, in the face of such a fierce bombing, the Song army would have been shocked to death. Looking at the pits on the ground one by one, Huang Han, a tough guy who never knew what was afraid of, could have burst into a cold sweat.

There was not much damage, and Guo Kan still felt very sorry, but fortunately he took down the earth wall. A new combat plan appeared in Guo Kan's mind, thinking that since the cast iron bomb is so powerful, he would first reward Huang Han with a cast iron bomb in front of a earth wall. If he did not retreat, the casualties would be great. If he retreated, the possibility of him breaking out of the siege would be greater.

With a certain idea, Guo Kan decided to do a big fight and immediately ordered the Mongolian army to occupy the earth wall, move the Huihui cannon forward, stop in front of the second earth wall, and move out all the cast iron bombs, with thousands of piles behind the Huihui cannon.

Under Guo Kan's command, the Mongolian soldiers were busy moving cast iron bombs to the return cannons and preparing for a duet.

If Guo Kan's plan is realized, it would be inevitable that he would break out of the siege. If he wants to stop him from breaking through, he would have to destroy the Huihui cannon first. This is urgent. A lieutenant said: "Sir, please let the young man get rid of the Huihui cannon of the Tartars."

His words came to everyone's hearts. The soldiers looked at Huang Han expectantly, waiting for his order. Huang Han nodded and said, "The dog-dreaming cannon is really not a thing. It is good to make him, but the Tartars are not vegetarians. Well, it's time to kill him, otherwise Guo Kan might really break through. Brothers, come with me, even if you don't have any life, you have to kill him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers agreed and said, "Yes, sir, you must make the Hui Hui cannon raised by the bitch even if you die." The soldiers were ready to wait for Huang Han to give the order.

Huang Han was about to give an order, but suddenly stared at the hill, exclaimed, then he was overjoyed, and slapped his forehead and said, "Damn, I'm so anxious and forgot about our treasure. Brothers, no need, he can't escape any of them."

His words came a little suddenly, and the soldiers of the Song army were a little confused and looked at Huang Han in surprise. They knew that this tough guy had few words and few things to do with joy and anger on weekdays. There were not many things to be as happy as today, so they had to be surprised. A school guard asked hesitantly: "Sir, what are our treasures?"

Huang Han patted his head and said, "Damn, don't you have eyes? Look here." Although he was cursing, he was actually laughing, and he couldn't say that he was happy. The soldiers looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a copper light on the top of the mountain. It turned out that the artillery was deployed on the top of the mountain. The soldiers who understood the whole story were all happy. A lieutenant said, "No wonder the lord is so happy. It turned out to be this treasure, waiting to see the show."

"Recharge! Prepare!" Zhu Ruixiang waved his flag and stood behind the cannons to command. The two hundred cannons were neatly arranged, aiming at the Huihui cannon. The huge gun seemed to the greedy mouth of the God of Death, ready to swallow Mongolian soldiers at any time. As long as Zhu Ruixiang gave the order, he would fire volleys. It goes without saying that Guo Kan's Huihui cannon will definitely be reimbursed.

"The target is wrong! Group 1, target Guo Kan! Group 2, Group 3, Group 4, target cast iron bomb!" Zhu Ruixiang, who was about to order, found that the gunners aimed at the Huihui cannon, was very dissatisfied, so he ordered the adjustment.

There will naturally be no problem with using two hundred artillery against Huihui cannons. It will definitely be killed. At most, you can reward a few more platoons, but it is not as affordable to bomb cast iron bombs. As long as you detonate the cast iron bombs, thousands of cast iron bombs explode together. If there was the term atomic bomb at that time, Zhu Ruixiang would definitely describe that the power was equivalent to a small atomic bomb, and everything nearby would be destroyed. It is naturally no problem to have more than a hundred Huihui cannons.

As for the bombing of Guo Kan, this famous artillery general naturally knew the benefits. The military strategy says, "Destroy the strong, take the soul, fight the dragon in the wild, and the way is poor." As long as the beheading is successful, the Mongolian army will collapse without fighting. As long as the benefits are not caused by nerve problems, they will be expected to get them.

The gunners adjusted their targets. Zhu Ruixiang was satisfied. He waved the flag and said, "Let it go!" Although it was only one word, its strength was more than a thousand pounds, which could determine the life and death of countless people.

A ball of fire flashed, and the sound of breaking through the air sounded. The shells dragged their long tail flames and drew beautiful arcs toward the target. Guo Kan was an extremely alert person. Boyan was already alert enough. His alertness was still far above Boyan. When he looked up, he found the shells covered with the sky. He immediately knew something was wrong and ordered loudly, saying, "Everyone, withdraw!" He pulled the horse's head and galloped away.

The situation was very good and he was about to withdraw. Many Mongolian soldiers did not understand what was going on. They stood stupidly until the heat waves of shells hit their bodies and realized that something was wrong. Unfortunately, it was too late and they had no way to escape. They instantly turned into minced meat.

Zhu Ruixiang divided the artillery into four groups, each with fifty gates, and three groups aimed at cast iron bombs. That is to say, one hundred and fifty shells aimed at the target. Except for those who had missed, at least one hundred hit cast iron bombs. In a shocking loud noise, a huge fireball rose into the air, like a huge mushroom cloud, and the flames soared into the air, covering half of the sky, and the cast iron bomb detonated.

Thousands of cast iron bombs, each fifty kilograms of gunpowder, can imagine how powerful it is after detonation, it is not much different from a small atomic bomb. The huge shock wave easily destroys everything within a range of dozens of feet like a horse's hooves and tofu. The more than a hundred reflux cannons seemed to be made of paper in front of the huge shock wave, and instantly turned into powder and no longer existed.

Guo Kan's alertness saved his life. Although his horse was fast, it was not as fast as the shells. It lifted up the huge shock wave and the horses and flew in the air. If the people who were not careful in the investigation would definitely regard him as a real god, or as a riding a horse, flying far away and falling heavily to the ground. The war horse under his crotch screamed with a woe, unable to withstand Guo Kan's weight, and had already been smashed to death. His forelimbs knelt on the ground, fell softly to the ground, and blood flowed out of his mouth and nose.

If it weren't for the war horse under his crotch as a meat pad to save Guo Kan's life, he, a false god, would have really taken it as a god. He got up from the ground in a hurry, his face pale as paper, without any blood, and blood was constantly oozing out of his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. Although he saved his life, the huge shock wave still made him bleed seven times.

It is not the first time that so many gunpowder has been detonated in human history, but it is rare. At least it is the first time that both sides of the war have encountered it. The voice spread from afar. The battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting is already hustle and bustle, but it immediately becomes silent. The soldiers involuntarily stopped.

Li Jun and Liao Shenggong and others were visiting Liu Hezi in Liu Hezi's room. Liu Hezi was injured and needed treatment urgently. Li Jun asked the best doctor in the army to treat Liu Hezi with the best medicine. Liu Hezi suffered a lot this time. He took out a cluster of arrows and was injured in fifty places. It was really too exhausted.

Li Jun shed tears when he looked at the cluster of arrows with Liu Hezi's blood stains and said, "General Liu, you are Zhao Chongguo of the Song Dynasty. Guo Kan is the most rewarding for being in trouble. I will not forget it! The court will not forget it! The Chinese people will not forget it!"

Zhao Chongguo was a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty. He followed Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, to expedition the Second Division. The Han army was ambushed. Zhao Chongguo led the army and led the army to fight and killed countless enemy troops. Only then did the Han army break out of the siege. Zhao Chongguo himself was too injured and could not afford to get sick. The arrows taken out of him were a full bucket. Li Guangli was very grateful to him and reported his deeds to Emperor Wu of Han. Emperor Wu of Han was also moved and personally gave him medicine. Zhao Chongguo became a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty. During Emperor Xuan of Han, he fought against the Western Qiang and made outstanding contributions to the stability of the northwestern border.

Li Jun compared Zhao Chongguo with Liu Hezi, which is more appropriate. Both of them were seriously injured and almost killed their lives. Li Jun's unintentional metaphor, unexpectedly, Liu Hezi really showed his power in the Western Regions, boosted China's prestige thousands of miles away from the foreign land, and achieved a far-reaching success in Zhao's abandoned country.

"Emperor, this is what I should do. I dare not worry about it." Liu Hezi said uneasy. It has been almost a year since Lin'an left. Liu Hezi suddenly saw Li Jun, and he became more emperorly and more shrewd, and more powerful, so he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Li Jun was about to An Wei Liu Hezi, when a huge explosion came. Li Jun said, "General Liu, listen, this is our artillery force, Guo Kan can never run away again."

The explosion was the best comfort to Liu Hezi, and Liu Hezi smiled with confidence.

As Li Jun said, the artillery was really powerful. Zhu Rui was an excellent military commander. Although he had not yet grown into a famous artillery general, his potential as a famous general has been fully revealed. After the first platoon of artillery was shot, he immediately divided the 200 artillery into four groups, each with fifty gates, and bombed the Mongolian soldiers in turn. These were all Huang Yongshan's failure to solve the withdrawal device, using a rigid device, and the firing rate was much slower. If he was divided into four groups, he would not be unable to keep up with the need.

Artillery was known as the "God of War", and Zhu Ruixiang pointed out that the artillery under the army was even more amazing. It seemed to have divine eyes and specializes in bombing many people. The Mongols attacked the most violent places, which provided great help to Huang Han's infantry.

Huang Han, an infantry commander known for his fierce combat style, was good at grasping all opportunities. He knew that taking advantage of the Mongolian army's panic, there would be a rich victory. He yelled: "Brothers, come on me! Kill all the Tartars!" He waved his sword and rushed into his head. The soldiers of the Song army roared and rushed up with him.

At this time, the Song army was in full spirit, and they were all as light as a swallow. The strength in their hands became much stronger and the weapons were much lighter. In a word, they had endless strength and endless energy. Killing people was similar to chopping radishes. One knife was one, and no second knife was added. In a short while, wherever the Song army passed was the corpse on the ground. The blood had no time to seep into the soil, and a thick layer was accumulated. There was a small blood flower under each foot, which was particularly beautiful under the setting sun.

People who have experienced this battle will never forget this sad picture of war: people are like dragons, horses are like tigers, cannons roar, swords are like meteors, limbs are flying, flesh and blood are splattering, and howlings of the enemy before death...
