Chapter 22

With the command of the officer, the infantry in front of the chariot lined up in three rows. As everyone knows, the purpose is to cause continuous firepower output. The shooter at the front only shoots, the soldiers behind are tasked with passing weapons and loading flints, and the soldiers at the last loading ammunition.

Although such a shooting cannot form such a great lethality in a volley, the continuous firepower output will provide time for preparation for other weapons in the camp. I believe that when facing infantry, as long as the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow cannon" is freed up, it will probably only take one round of attack to completely stop his actions.

Soon, the fearless infantry approached the camp, and the officers on the side of the musketeers fell down with swords in their hands.

"Open the fire..."

"Peng..."

In the first shooting, almost only one sound came out, and a row of musket bullets flew across the battlefield. Then, because the three-person team loaded the medicine and fired the speed, the musket sound became messy. After a ball of white smoke passed, the bullets flew across the battlefield with corpses everywhere and made a "buzzing" sound. When hitting the target, it also caused new corpses on the battlefield.

However, there is basically no accuracy at all when shooting at a 200-meter-long musket. Even the best shooter, hitting the target at a distance of 200 meters is a difficult task. Fortunately, muskets basically don’t have to worry about the opponent’s counterattack. Even if they have to worry, they have to wait for them to enter the effective lethality range of the 100-meter bow and arrow, and then they become more likely to be hit.

With the fire of the soldiers of the Great Song Yulin Army Musket Battalion, many running infantry were knocked to the ground. As the attacking light cavalry was once again broken up by the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow cannon", the entire battlefield was over.

At this time, there were almost no alive people on the entire battlefield except for some frightened horses running around. Occasionally, one or two injured people stretched out their arms to ask for help, which would only make this cruel battlefield even more cruel. Zhao Fubo did not give the soldiers a chance to rest, nor did he plan to clean up the bodies. He ordered his men to start building camps immediately. Because it was already afternoon at this time, you should know that autumn was very short. If there was no strong enough city wall at night, it was very likely that the entire camp would collapse in such an attack by the enemy.

If that were the case, it would be no problem for him and his men. After all, he was much better equipped, and he was all the cavalry that had been cleared again, so it was much easier to retreat, but the musketeers in front of him probably had no hope. Perhaps everyone had met this terrible possibility. The heart-wrenching battle this morning probably made everyone feel scared.

A few prisoners and all the soldiers began to work hard to build camps together. As we all know, the camps of the Yulin Army of the Song Dynasty were relatively simple. A few wooden stakes were rooted in their roots, and then they were built up layer by layer by layer by rope net and sandbag. That is, they were not as slow as those of the Europeans who used pointed wooden stakes, and they were completely different from those of the Arabs. Even the walls of the camps were not high at all, but they could not easily leaps over the horses. People outside were not easy to climb onto the cloth.

When there was a wall, "Flying Swallow III-type crossbows" were placed in the position, and behind the wall was the musketeers' own "reincarnation cannons". During the day, because they were troublesome to assemble, they were not placed behind the wall until the evening. On the wall of the sandbag, those "grenade launchers" gun positions were also arranged. As for outside the wall, several layers of trigger mines were buried.

When night was about to fall, the entire camp of the army led by Zhao Fubo was already wrapped in a stable wall. The important wooden stakes and rope nets also played the role of "mounting columns in the wall". Then, large trucks were arranged in the camp to form a smaller space. They were about 10 to 20 meters away from the outer wall, but they also formed a square shape, and the inside was the place where the soldiers rested.

"We have fewer big cars today. If there are enough big cars, we can protect the entire camp with big cars when we just arrived here. Then we have time to build a base without being attacked by the other party!"

Sophia knew that this was Zhao Fubo's reflection caused by the casualties, but she did not expect that Zhao Fubo's thoughts almost triggered a war revolution.

"Okay, don't think too much, we all tried our best!"

What made Zhao Fubo pleased was that the Song Yulin Army under his command had no casualties. Although today's incident was a major lesson for him. Of course, the experience was brought from the battlefield. After Zhao Fubo experienced this small setback, in the subsequent contest with the Mongols, he was expelled from the style of "semi-mobile" infantry combat, and finally ended the mobility of the Mongolian light cavalry combat. As for what this "semi-mobile infantry combat" looks like, it is still in the story behind it.

When the night light reduced visibility, two searchlights lit up on the observation decks at four corners of the military camp. The bright light of the steam light was almost completely reflected by the bowl-shaped glass. The clearings within 200 meters were illuminated clearly.

The old queen, who had been watching the battle at the top of the city and had not left until the end of the battle, at this time the determination in her heart also subsided because of the daytime battle today. She had never expected that the enemy would build such a city-like camp in such a short time. Of course, it was not easy to break. The purpose of the battle in the middle of the morning was to prevent the enemy from having a complete camp.

But at this moment, night attacks will be a very difficult thing. They are 4 to 500 meters away from the Daro River. They are not able to effectively attack their giant crossbows and stone throwers. As for night attacks, just look at the bright light sprayed outward from the four corners, what opportunities are there?

However, the General of the Protective Country, who had already been aroused by him, bent down and made a final farewell to her.

"Empress Dowager, tonight I will lead a large army to carry out a night attack, just asking Allah to bless me and I can touch their camp. Whether it succeeds or not, I will give you the final greetings to you at this moment. If it succeeds, please send a large army to attack. If it fails, the Queen Mother...
