Chapter 20: Punishment of Changshengtian
At the same time, Qin Sword and Ye Suge defended the haystack and also faced the arrival of 20,000 troops led by Wanyan Hutu. At this time, Ye Suge's Begging for recognition or appreciation department had only three to four thousand riders capable of wielding a sword in battle.
To prevent the Mongolian people from fleeing in chaos, Wanyan Hutu did not concentrate all their efforts to attack from one direction, but instead surrounded them from all sides, leaving them no way to escape.
On the command vehicle, footage from the unmanned aerial vehicle showed that the camps of Ye Suge and Qin Sword had become isolated islands heavily besieged by the Jin dynasty army. It is clear that Wanyan Hutu's plan is to eliminate them in one fell swoop and prevent any future trouble.
The encirclement finally closed, and thousands of archers advanced.
But before they could reach the vanguard of Qin Sword, some Warhorses had already triggered the concealed mines set by MK2 grenades.
The MK2 hand grenade is made of cast iron, with a serrated exterior to produce more shrapnel upon explosion. Its lethal radius is 5 to 10 yards, but the shrapnel can cause casualties up to 50 yards away.
When it explodes, targets within a radius of 30 to 40 meters are hit by shrapnel, resulting in immediate casualties.
Even more terrifying is the detonation of C4 explosives. C4 is an extremely stable, highly explosive plastic explosive. A detonation of 400 grams of C4 can cause multiple casualties and destroy a truck, while a kilogram of C4 is sufficient to demolish a 5-story building.
Whether it's Warhorse or the rider on horseback, both are driven by flesh and blood. Once a detonation point is triggered, a large group of people will be lying down.
As one explosion after another rang out, more and more archers and their Warhorses fell. When they were just two arrows' distance from the Qin Sword's defense line, the machine guns on the outer armored transport vehicles started firing.
Seeing that a direct charge would likely result in the loss of half of the thousands of archers, Wanyan Hutu ordered a signal to be sent for the crossbowmen to withdraw.
In ancient times, warfare was not like it is today. There were no cell phones, no walkie-talkies. Instead, orders were conveyed orally by messengers. During the chaos of battle, the limitations of messengers became apparent. Even if they shouted until they were hoarse, the soldiers couldn't hear them, making it impossible to effectively and quickly convey orders. Therefore, a more widespread method of communication was needed.
Although ancient methods like "beacon fires" and "smoke signals" existed, they were not suitable for use on the battlefield. As a result, the use of "gongs" and "drums" as signaling tools gradually evolved. When ancient armies went to war, they would bring these two items with them. The order to attack would be signaled by beating the drum, while the order to retreat would be signaled by striking the gong.
Why is a bell used for signaling the end of a battle called "Ringing the bell, cease the battle" in Chinese? This bell is a musical instrument made of copper, shaped like a bell and colored like gold. When struck, it produces a clear metallic sound. Therefore, we can understand "bell" in "Ringing the bell" as referring to the sound of metal.
Another explanation is that "Ringing the bell" refers to striking a gong. The specifics are not important, as long as it means the Jin dynasty army is retreating.
On the first day of the battle, before even engaging the enemy, over a thousand Jin dynasty archers were injured or killed.
The next day, the Jin dynasty army deployed "burrows," also known as holes, which were like small houses covered with a layer of iron on the outside and equipped with four wheels underneath, effectively protecting the soldiers during the attack. Later, the burrows were integrated with cloud ladders, forming a goose-shaped structure, known as a goose cart, which served both defensive and offensive purposes.
But they underestimated the defensive firepower. There's no need for a mortar. When a rocket comes over, "burrow," along with the attacking soldiers below, they all get blown into the air.
Ye Suge saw the battle in the front using a telescope from the rear. In front of Qin Sword and his men, heavy cavalry, light cavalry, hard bows, sabres... couldn't even hurt them.
If there were a dispute with his own tribe, he would be the only one to suffer passively... Looking back at his subordinates, they also looked worried.
On the third day, Wanyan Hutu launched a full-scale attack. Archers and heavily armored cavalry swarmed from all directions like a tidal wave, risking everything to devour Qin Sword and Ye Suge in one fell swoop.
The sound of war drums and the thundering of hooves accompanied the arrows flying like a swarm of bees as they charged into battle.
But Ye Suge still did not receive the signal from Qin Sword to mobilize their troops.
On the front lines, Qin Sword also faced unprecedented pressure. Looking around, enemies surrounded them from all directions, and the machine gun barrels were too hot to touch. However, the advancing Jin dynasty army continued to draw closer and gather in greater numbers.
Finally, the Jin dynasty army entered the range of assault rifles, about four hundred meters away. If they couldn't stop the enemy in time, the cavalry could charge to the front line in an instant.
At that point, Ye Suge's cavalry would have to engage with the enemy, and the power of Qin Sword's modern firearms would also be greatly reduced.
The personnel on the supply vehicles, communication vehicles, transport vehicles, and logistics support vehicles all took up arms and joined the battle! The self-propelled mortar also began firing at the densest group of enemies!
The unmanned reconnaissance and strike integrated aircraft took off, but it did not immediately join the battle group. Instead, it flew over the heads of the Jin troops with its proud posture to intimidate the enemy and search for the trace of Wanyan Hutu.
unmanned aerial vehicle For this era, it is a myth. No one on the grassland has ever seen such a large eagle or vulture, exceeding the understanding of the strongest shaman on the grassland (Shamanism is a primitive religion, referring to the shaman god as the protector of the clan, selecting his own agents and incarnations within the clan, and endowing them with special qualities and divine communication, to dispel disasters and seek blessings for the clan).
Qin Sword Their defense line is still being compressed!
Just as Ye Suge and his subordinates couldn't help but make a move, a unmanned aerial vehicle suddenly soared into the air and swiftly swooped towards a heavily guarded area.
On the surveillance screen, the figures below were constantly shouting and pulling their horses.
After confirmation, the following is the central army of Wanyan Hutu.
The unmanned aerial vehicle operator turned the control lever and issued a launch command. Two small missiles shot out with a tail flame, and amidst the intense explosion, two mushroom clouds rose from the central army horse team of Wanyan Hutu.
Wanyan Hutu's guards were thrown to the ground in the explosion, wearing fur hats, leather jackets, leather pants, and outer armor, with a wide "defensive waistband" tied around them. Wanyan Hutu was also overturned by the shockwave.
As the unmanned aerial vehicle turned and twisted in the sky, Wanyan Hutu's central army finally became chaotic, and Wanyan Hutu's figure disappeared into the crowd.
The cavalry began to retreat.
Ye Suge and the soldiers behind him let out a long sigh of relief.
That night, Qin Sword brought Hadan Batel to Ye Suge's yurt: There are too many Jin dynasty army, instead of passively enduring their attacks, it's better to take the initiative and strike them once, so that they dare not act recklessly again.
Early the next morning, Wanyan Hutu, who had made no progress in several days of attacks, organized his troops again, preparing to press the entire army once more. However, a raging fire broke out in their rear.
At the break of dawn, the unmanned aerial vehicle operator commanded the unmanned aerial vehicle to begin searching for Wanyan Hutu's rear provisions. With a force of 20,000, there was no way to escape the reconnaissance of the unmanned aerial vehicle. Before his supply troops could understand what was happening, two incendiary bombs were dropped, leaving them bewildered by the raging fire.
In their view, this was Changshengtian's punishment for their laborious journey.
