857. Repel the enemy(1/2)
War outside the military camp is in full swing.
But at this moment, the Dali Army hot air balloons in the air were afraid of the sky-rushing cannons in the military camp and did not dare to get too close. They could only watch the hot air balloons of the Song Dynasty bombard their robes.
A hot air balloon book tried to bypass the west sky cannon position, but it did not expect that the sky cannon car was also equipped with wheels and the movement speed was not slow.
After paying a slight heavy price, the Dali Army hot air balloon finally accepted his fate and dared to stay outside the range of the sky cannon to watch.
They don't leave because they are worried that this battle will fail. When the army retreats, they still need to cut off the rear for the army.
This is something that the prince does not need to explain.
After the remaining cavalry of the Song army, Hong Wutian and others rushed back to the barracks, Liu Hongyi smiled and shouted loudly: "Bare me hard!"
He couldn't help but be excited.
Because even himself did not expect that in the face of a surprise attack, the soldiers could stabilize the situation so quickly.
It can be said that the soldiers' performance in this battle is far beyond his expectations as the coach.
He did not expect that these garrison soldiers who had never been on the battlefield had such blood and courage.
But I never thought about it carefully that the patriotic ideas that Zhao Dongting instilled in the army had actually had a great impact on these soldiers.
In the past, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty had no beliefs, but now, they have. Their beliefs are the Song Dynasty court, which was led by Zhao Dongting.
They were used to the past life of not having enough food and being exhausted. The current court allowed them and their families to have food to live in peace. They had a strong sense of gratitude to the Song Dynasty court.
The patriotic thoughts that Zhao Dongting instilled in the army allowed their gratitude to be sublimated.
This sublimated awareness can help them overcome their fear of blood and death.
The great Song army was fully fired.
Thunders burst out from the camp one by one.
The gunshots were densely packed like rain.
"I hit it!"
"I've killed five!"
The Shenlong Gunners and archers hiding behind the cover seemed a little relaxed at this moment.
The Dali Cavalry, who was thunder in front of him, became their own target.
A general shouted: "Brothers, treat the enemy in front of you as a target in the battalion! Hit them! Shoot them!"
Such words made the soldiers feel relaxed.
And in this state of mind, the shooting skills can undoubtedly be better.
There are sharpshooters in the army that have even shot dozens of people.
They were all fed with bullets in the military camp. The lethality they can cause is truly something that is not something that can be compared with by archers.
This is the difference between hot weapons and cold weapons.
The Dali army suffered countless losses.
I only knew that corpses were gradually spreading across the field outside the camp. Looking around, there were soldiers wearing Dali Army robes.
Although there were soldiers in the Dali army carrying the Sky Thunder, they could not throw the Sky Thunder behind the Song army's cover at this moment.
Because with their arm strength, they could not throw the Sky Thunder farther than the range of the Shenlong Gun. And they ran closer to the cover, but could not avoid being shot.
The Dali Army, who had no artillery carts with the army, could not pose much threat to the Song army at this time.
Gradually, after great losses, the Dali soldiers were a little reluctant to make progress.
How long can this kind of offensive without hope last?
They may not be afraid of death, but they will never want to die in vain.
The prince naturally saw this.
Look at the masters of the Pojun Academy beside him.
But these masters turned their eyes and refused to look at him.
Obviously, they were not willing to risk their lives to attack the Song army camp.
"Retreat!"
A trace of contempt flashed through the prince's eyes and ordered coldly.
If any masters were willing to form a suicide squad, with their skills, they might be able to break the gap on the Song army's defense line. Unfortunately, he ordered these people not to be moved.
Guigu Academy is Guigu Academy, and Pojun Academy is Pojun Academy. In Dali, it is equivalent to two completely different yamen with equal status.
Although Wang Zigan is the chief general, he cannot force these masters of the Pojun Academy.
The sound of gold sounds in the army.
The Dali soldiers had long been looking forward to hearing this sound, and they retreated down the mountain like a tide.
This battle against the Song Camp has continued until now, and they have paid a lot of unnecessary casualties.
In the military camp, a general led his way to Liu Hongyi, who was holding a telescope, and said excitedly: "Chief, the Dali army has withdrawn. Should we pursue it?"
Liu Hongyi looked at the hot air balloons of the Dali Army in the sky and shook his head, "The soldiers are all tired, don't chase them."
He is actually afraid of these hot air balloons.
Although fighting out of the camp at this time will definitely cause heavy casualties to the Dali Army. But if the Dali Army fought to the death, the Song army would probably pay a considerable price with the help of hot air balloons.
Liu Hongyi was reluctant to fight to the death like this.
Because in his opinion, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were much more precious than those of the Dali army.
"oh!"
The general was a little embarrassed and disappointed, but he stopped saying anything and ran away again.
The Dali Army went down the hillside under the cover of the hot air balloon in the air, and then headed towards the west.
Shocking cheers broke out in the Great Song Dynasty military camp.
"We won!"
"We won again!"
Such victory is undoubtedly very exciting for these garrison troops and the Qiongzhou troops.
Because this was their first time fighting with the Dali soldiers. Moreover, they turned defeat into victory after being attacked by surprise.
The little sadness in the army was washed away by the cheers.
It was not until Liu Hongyi ordered the battlefield to start cleaning and sorting out the body for the robes that the atmosphere in the army became a little sad.
Many once familiar faces have become eternal past in this battle.
More and more corpses were piled up.
The bodies of Dali soldiers were piled up into more than ten corpse mountains.
Some of these military strokes were worn by armor, and their armor was stripped off. With the mining technology of this era, metal was a scarce resource.
The infantry in the Song Dynasty suffered little losses.
But the cavalry losses are a bit distressing.
More than 10,000 cavalry blocked more than three times the enemy's army and fell into a heavy siege, losing nearly 4,000 yuan.
Although this loss is normal compared to the time they have resisted the Dali cavalry for so long, it still makes the generals feel distressed.
The one who suffered the most was Feitian Camp.
The two armies had a total of 200 hot air balloons, which lost nearly half.
Of course, the Dali Army's hot air balloons were blown up and shot down more, and even more than half of them were probably over. But this still makes people feel distressed.
Kumano's body was also found.
He had a sword wound on his throat, and his whole body was almost trampled to death. If his face had not been downward when he died, it would have been impossible to recognize him again.
This ambitious Miao King finally couldn't last until the moment he became the lord of the entire Miao Xinjiang.
Perhaps, this is fate.
It's also God's will.
After Hong Wutian and others burned his body, they collected the ashes and decided to take them back to Changsha.
After all, although Kumano is cold-blooded and cold, he has indeed put a lot of efforts into the Song Dynasty.
This can offset his previous sin of Gu's love for free.
After Liu Hongyi asked the soldiers to collect all the waist cards of the dead robes, he went to the corpse mountain to deliver letters to the dead soldiers.
All the generals and soldiers surrounded them. When the flames rose, they all silently took off their tassels or felt hats on their heads.
Everything is silent.
Only the sad breath lingers in the rain and fog.
To be continued...
