Chapter 2361 hits the stone with an egg

On the plain outside of Maergan, Doji led 5,000 cavalry to fight against the Song army. This was his last attempt, and he had no choice but to launch an attack on the Song army.

If others don’t understand Jiao Siluo, he will not be unaware of it. Jiao Siluo treats the people kindly, of course it can also be said to be a kind of noble kindness. He hopes to use the people to obtain a large amount of taxes or to strengthen the population of Tubo.

But Jiao Siluo was not ruthless at all. As long as he found out that the corruption of the officials would be executed, and the same would be true for those who enjoyed the rights.

If he did not lead his troops to resist the attack of the Song army, even if he saved his life, he would be chased by Jiao Siluo. He would not let him go and his family.

Of course, the soldiers under his command also understood their situation. At this time, if they did not attack the Song army and fled back to Tubo, they would face the punishment of Zanpu.

The Tubo army of 5,000 people had no chance of winning against the Song army, but under the terror of Jiaosiluo, they still launched an attack on the Song army. Although the Tubo people who dared to be brave were not optimistic about them, they were still shocked by the determination of these people.

Some people quietly followed these five thousand to the battlefield. They wanted to see how powerful the Song army was, so powerful that the Tubo warriors could not win.

The Song army's exploration of the horses had long discovered the abnormal movements of the Tubo army. When he brought the news back to the army, Wang Shao immediately arranged a large army to meet the enemy. Zhao Zhen, as an "observer", wanted to get close to see the final opportunity, was ruthlessly deprived. In Wang Shao's eyes, nothing is important for the security of the government. Even if he wanted to watch the army fight, it should be carried out without affecting the army.

Regarding Wang Shaolaishu, the official appearance on the battlefield at this time was not to motivate the army, but to influence the army.

The Tubo army's attack speed was very fast. On the empty plateau, their war horses could play their greatest advantage, but the Song army's war horses could not run quickly for a long time. Horses, like humans, would have altitude sickness.

If you run with a heavy load for a long time, the war horses of the Song Dynasty may encounter sudden death. There were many similar slow horses when the Song Dynasty built Qinghai Road before.

This is the experience gained from long-term training on the plateau. China has changed. It is no longer a "bird" that can be killed by its powerful strength. Instead, it has become a warrior, experienced, scientific and effective warrior.

In fact, such a China is the most terrifying thing. Once the plan and goal are formulated, it will be the most deadly threat to the enemy.

Duoji roared and led the army to pounce towards the Song army's army, but the Song army opposite was very strange. The array was not an ordinary defensive formation, but pulled the queue very wide and scattered.

The same is true for shields, grouped together in groups of three or three, and the spears formed one small "shrub" after another.

But soon Duoji encountered a "nightmare", and crackling sounds like heavy rain. This was the figure of the Song Dynasty musket. Then Duoji heard a sharp whistling sound, but the abnormal point was that there was no white smoke rising in the Song army's formation.

The crackling sound kept ringing, like a devil's grinning kept passing through his ears, constantly harvesting the lives of the Tubo warriors. Duoji was desperate to find that they had lost nearly half of their manpower before they even reached the Song people's military formation.

The Song army's firearms were too powerful, simple and crude, with an amazingly high rate of fire and accuracy. Rows of dense bullets turned into continuous shooting under the change of the Song army's formation. The army formed by nearly 10,000 people was so dense that it was outrageous. The personal soldiers surrounding them had died in order to save themselves.

But what's the use of this? What can it do even if it hits the Song army's formation?

The square formations composed of shields and spears were a nightmare for cavalry, and it became impossible to attack the Song army's army on a large scale.

The figure of muskets continued, and more and more Tubo cavalry were gathering around him. This was a survival instinct that could reduce casualties only by gathering together, allowing them to keep approaching the Song army's army formation.

With the Song army having the advantage of the number of people, dispersion can only be a massacre, and no one can survive under such a secret firearm.

More and more people are falling down, even war horses are no exception. The only way is to join forces and use the lives of the people in front to fight against the firearms of the Song army, so that the people behind can hide behind them.

Such consumption is not a solution at all. More and more people are killed in battle, which has made the Tubo people desperate. When two-thirds of the Tubo soldiers fell down like harvesting wheat, there have been cases of people fleeing.

The disarray of military morale is a fatal injury to an army. There is no chance of victory at present, but Doji still leads the charge of his troops following him, which is a death charge.

Escape? There was no chance at all. The Song army's firearm seemed to have eyes, and almost all those who wanted to escape were beaten to death on the way to escape.

But the nightmare has just begun. As the number of fugitives continues to increase, the Song army began to use artillery to kill the fugitives. The artillery of the Song Dynasty is powerful and quite accurate. Although it may not necessarily hit the target, it can overturn the Tubo people on the war horses with an explosion, or even war horses.

Duoji didn't know at all that they were just tools for Wang Shao to test. It was the first time that Song Quanshen equipped firearms in actual combat. This was the first time and an extremely important time.

Wang Shao stood on the high ground, and Zhao Zhen stood beside him and watched him record carefully. Zhao Zhen admired this rigorous attitude very much. Learning is important. If a person wants to make continuous progress, he can only complete it by constantly learning.

Large-scale equipment of firearms and use muskets and artillery to cooperate with each other is a brand new war model. It is very necessary to use the Tubo people to accumulate and summarize war experience.

Zhao Zhen’s position is quite safe at the moment, so Wang Shao agreed to let him come out to see the situation on the battlefield. Even emperors like Zhao Zhen in the army must abide by the arrangements of Wang Shao, the commander.

The army needs discipline like a mountain, and Zhao Zhen even hopes discipline like a steel, so he has no doubts about Wang Shao’s arrangements.

Of course, Zhao Zhen himself also wanted to see everything on the battlefield. Firearms appeared on the battlefield. This is the progress of civilization, a war that crosses the ages and exaggerates the planes.

The spectacularity on the battlefield is much more exciting than the firearm wars in later generations. The level of firearms in the Song Dynasty has surpassed that of firearms in later generations for the first time to be equipped on the battlefield on a large scale.

The most prominent point is that there was no strong white smoke coming out of the Song army's military formation, because the Song Dynasty's bullets used no longer black gunpowder, but fire cotton.

At this time, the craftsman from the Geju Academy suddenly squatted down and began to write and draw on paper. He seemed to have made a brand new discovery...
