Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Chapter 1221 Want to take the position? Ask me first!

"Don't panic! Don't panic!..."

Faced with the bombardment of firearms they had never encountered before, the Jurchens panicked. In addition, the destructive power of the Divine Fire Flying Eagle was indeed considerable, and it was also easy to set fire, so many Jurchens had their hair singed.

Moreover, the eagle was the totem of the Jurchen people, and this kind of psychological blow was fatal to ordinary soldiers. They even felt that the eagle god was punishing them!

Following the arrival of the Divine Fire Flying Eagle, the next thing to descend into the formation was the Mother-Child Chain Cannon. Needless to say, this thing can destroy a whole area with a single blast, and it mainly deals continuous damage. The broken tiles, rusty iron pieces, rough gravel, and all sorts of other random things that fly out from inside make those hit suffer excruciating pain!

The good news is that I didn't die; the bad news is that I'm living a life worse than death!

Even though Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Ang were both excellent generals, they were somewhat flustered in the face of this situation.

"These people are shameless! They actually used firearms!"

"It must be because their own combat strength is weak that they have to resort to external aids to compensate! Everyone, don't panic! Close the distance and charge!"

"That's right! Take the wounded down, the rest of you charge!"

It must be said that the Jurchens at present have a really strong fighting spirit. They quickly overcame the trouble caused by firearms and reorganized their formation!

"They weren't defeated by firearms?"

Ling Zhen frowned as he put down the telescope in his hand.

This is the first time since the Divine Machine Legion began using artillery on a large scale that an opponent has been able to withstand the threat of artillery fire and launch a counterattack.

"Is the Thunder Cannon still not ready?"

"General, time is of the essence; only three have been assembled so far..."

"Fire! Use the heaviest shells, give them a good blast!"

Ling Zhen couldn't wait any longer. This was the first time the Shenji Army had encountered such a tough opponent. If he didn't defeat these Jurchens, people would think that the Shenji Army was just a bunch of good-for-nothings!

"Yes!"

The three assembled Thunder Cannons were adjusted in an instant, and three heavy thunderbolts were thrown towards the crowd!

"boom!!!"

An even louder sound than before rang out in the Jin army's ranks. The heavy cannon shell exploded, creating a large crater in the ground and kicking up dirt that covered many people!

This time, the heavy artillery worked. The Jurchen soldiers who were clamoring to charge forward were stunned again, especially the soldiers near the crater. Seeing their comrades who had been charging alongside them just moments before suddenly scattered into pieces, even the bravest of them had to pause for a moment.

Firearms...are they that powerful?

The Jin army's morale, which had just been raised, immediately began to decline!

"Warriors! These Han Chinese, relying on their firearms, are wantonly harming our Great Jin warriors! Can this be forgiven? No!"

Wanyan Ang stepped forward promptly and shouted loudly. As a royal general, his actions at this moment were very effective in stabilizing the morale of the troops!

"Their firearms are powerful, but they fire slowly! Our Jurchen warriors are fast! Are you willing to come with me and charge over there, seize their firearms, and then fight back against them!"

Wanyan Ang's single word "rob" reawakened the primal instincts within the Jurchens. The fear in their eyes began to fade, and what was rekindled was their desire to seize firearms!

"Grab the firearms! Grab the firearms!..."

Led by Wanyan Ang, a force of ten thousand broke away from the Jin army's main formation and charged toward the small hill where the Shenji Army was located!

"Stone bullet!"

Although he saw someone rushing towards him, Ling Zhen remained calm and continued to issue instructions methodically.

The other soldiers of the Shenji Army were equally fearless, doing what they were supposed to do, especially those who were setting up heavy artillery, who couldn't wait to get all the dozens of heavy artillery pieces in place.

Ling Zhen wasn't flustered for a reason. He knew that with the Fuhu Army protecting them, these Jurchens thought they could break through the Fuhu Army's defenses and threaten his Shenji Army? Dream on!

"Kill!"

Wanyan Ang's attack was incredibly fast, with cavalry leading the way and infantry following closely. The Jin army's current resources are largely contributed by the Liao army, and the speed of their rise is truly unbelievable.

However, just as they were about to approach the hill, they saw an army that looked like the Great Wall at the foot of the hill!

That was Wu Song's Tiger-Taming Army. Wu Song stood at the forefront, holding a snowflake-patterned iron ring knife in each hand, coldly watching the golden cavalry charging towards him.

"Fuhu!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With Wu Song's shout, the shield bearers behind him quickly stepped forward, their large shields rhythmically striking the ground, indicating that the soldiers were ready to engage!

"Just an infantry unit! Warriors! Charge!"

Wanyan Ang sneered inwardly. In his view, cavalry was the natural counter to infantry. Didn't he even understand that? It seems that the commander of this so-called Yi Kingdom is indeed a bandit and a strongman, with absolutely no tactical awareness!

"Want to take the position? Ask me first!"

Wu Song could already see the fanatical and ferocious faces of the cavalrymen. He was not afraid at all and raised his sword to signal the soldiers behind him!

"Javelin thrower!!"

The soldiers of the Dayi infantry were very fond of javelins, especially if their commander was strong, in which case the soldiers would definitely practice javelin throwing.

At close range, the lethality of a javelin is no less than that of a bow and crossbow! In fact, it may even be greater!

Hundreds of javelins flew out of the army formation in an instant, shooting towards the cavalry led by Wanyan Ang with a loud whooshing sound.

"Pfft! Pfft!..."

The javelins were incredibly fast, and Wanyan Ang's cavalry charged just as quickly, so dozens of men were impaled by the javelins before they could dodge. Dozens more were wounded, many falling from their horses and being trampled to death by their comrades behind them.

"Charge! Smash those shields!"

Wanyan Ang did not change his impression of the infantrymen because of these javelins. In his opinion, the infantrymen's shields were no match for the cavalry!

"Shieldbearers, hold! Swordsmen and axemen, prepare!"

Wu Song stretched out his hands to help the two shield bearers hold their shields. He had a feeling that these Jurchen cavalrymen were no weaker than the Liao cavalrymen he had fought before.

"Bang!!"

A tremendous crash resounded! These Golden Cavalry were indeed fierce and reckless. Even the shield formation of the Fuhu Army was among the top three in the Dayi Infantry, but after being rammed by these Golden Cavalry, gaps actually appeared in some places!

"We can't retreat! Our Shenji Army brothers are on the hillside. What will happen to them if we retreat?"

Wu Song braced himself against the shield with both hands, blocking the enormous impact for the two soldiers. Encouraged by him, the shield bearers of the Tiger-Taming Army held their shields firmly, preventing the Golden Cavalry from breaking through further!

"Charge again!"

The first attack was not very effective, so Wanyan Ang decisively ordered the cavalry to charge again. However, by this time, his evaluation of the infantry had improved considerably.

At least the Liao infantry absolutely did not have this kind of fighting power!

The Jin cavalry retreated from both sides, and the Jin infantry, wielding all sorts of weapons, charged forward! Their fighting style was extremely barbaric; they even used fingernails and teeth as weapons!

Under their brutal onslaught, the gaps in the Tiger-Taming Army's shield formation widened even further! Meanwhile, the Golden Cavalry had regrouped and were ready to launch a second charge at any moment!

"Shieldbearers, take note! In the next wave of attack, dismantle the shield wall and switch to the mandarin duck formation!"

Seeing the change in the situation, Wu Song first killed several savage foot soldiers, and then signaled the entire army to change formation!

At the same time, he shouted at someone in the Tiger-Taming Army:

"Zhou Ang! Whether you can redeem yourself today depends on what happens!"

"That cavalry commander is yours!"
