Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 507
At five hundred paces, the Song Army's catapults and catapults began to fire. After several rounds of stones and heavy blows, cavalrymen screamed and fell off their horses. However, the catapults and catapults were too slow to stop the fast cavalry. It is still a cavalry with two wings.

Three hundred steps, nearly a thousand cavalrymen slowly moved towards the front of the formation, armed with a divine arm bow and carrying a quiver, lined up in three teams and fired in turn. Extremely high, the well-trained crossbowman is almost a one-hit kill, and the cavalry of the Golden Army in the charge kept falling off their horses, causing even more heavy casualties.

However, the Jurchen cavalry, who claim to be able to move comfortably without twisting back and forth, can still be called the horse army. Their tenacity is indeed admirable. They all grit their teeth and forge ahead against the dense arrows.

Hundred paces, already within the range of the bow and arrow, but facing the thunder-fast cavalry, the lethality of the bow and arrow is very weak, the god-armed archer retreats into the formation and continues to shoot, the position is replaced by the spearman, and three cold bars are erected in front of the army. In the forest of guns, waiting for the cavalry moths to cast fire.

No.11 will be the elite of Jingyuan Road. Nearly a thousand cavalry are composed of experienced Qiang herdsmen, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.This group of Tangxiang people and Tubo people, who practiced bow horse since childhood, are equipped with tall Hequ horses and wear strong iron armor. They fight against Tangxiang people all the year round. They have their own pride. The powerful Jurchens cavalry are not scary in their eyes. Even their prey for wealth.

The same two wings rushed out, and they rushed towards the Jurchen cavalry aggressively, fearlessly.When the two armies collided, these well-armed Qiang and Tibetan men slashed and killed unceremoniously, rolling up a cloud of bloody dust and smoke.

The Jurchen cavalry is known for being brave and good at fighting, and the Jingyuan horse army is not a vegetarian either. Both sides are elite and have their own arrogance.As the cavalry fell one after another, the blood in their chests burst out completely, there was no coward, no one backed up, either killing or being killed, the rules of the battlefield were extremely simple, and life and death could not be blamed on others.

The Eleventh General’s cavalry troops were not many, so it was impossible to intercept all of the Jin’s troops, so they could only suppress one Meng’an. Xihe Road Township Army soldiers.Don't think that the fighting power of the township army is weak, experience kills people!

Xihe Road is the military road of Shaanxi Road. It borders Xia and Tubo established by Dangxiang. It belongs to the place of the Fourth World War. The native soldiers of the state and township army participated in frequent battles, and their combat effectiveness was quite strong. This army was a veteran force, a fighter in the township army.

After a fierce charge, the Jin army still maintained a strong combat effectiveness, but faced with the Xihe Township Army who often fought against Dangxiang and Tubo, these cavalry faced the dilemma of shooting at close range and strangling in groups, and some cavalry were drawn into the brink In the military formation, there are still some people who are tightly entangled. They hold a saber, and they don’t fight you desperately at all, but greet your horse on the crotch. There is no reason.

What's more, those archers with their quiver on their backs wandered around the periphery, constantly looking for opportunities to shoot and kill the lone cavalry in front of them.

The reason why the Jurchen attached great importance to the Western Army of the Song Dynasty was that the Western Army had rich combat experience and was absolutely unambiguous in fighting cavalry. The crossbowmen even dared to fight the cavalry within five steps.

Accompanied by Lu Yao, Zheng Yan and Xiaopangdun, Wang Xiu came to Wangji Iron Works.Oh, it should be Zhang Ling, the big fat man, and he should respect other scientific and technological workers.

When he saw those weird equipment, the corners of his mouth never stopped twitching, and he admired Zhang Ling and Zheng Yan. The two of them were so enthusiastic about such a difficult project that they persisted for so long.

When he saw a set of gears, he couldn't walk immediately, opened his eyes wide, and said in disbelief, "How did you guys come up with this?"

"Sir, this is a gadget, and it's not perfect. But it can be easily used in coal production." Zhang Ling was a little proud.

Wang Xiu gritted his teeth and smiled. This thing in front of him is definitely epoch-making. A simple gear mechanism made of fine steel uses gear rotation for power transmission. The development of large-scale machinery and the automobile industry, which is essential for the development, unexpectedly appeared in this era.Although it is still very rough and needs to be done manually, it has appeared and been used in some specific productions after all, and it cannot but be said that it is the change he brought.

"If you can use the gear mechanism... Well, keep improving, separate the twelve hours of the day, accurately locate the hour and minute, and then use the precision mechanism to drive the needle, which can replace the hourglass and sundial."

Zhang Ling's eyes were wide open, he stared at the gear machine for a long time, then suddenly turned around and ran out, his haste made Wang Xiu and Xu Zhong jump.

Wang Xiu hurriedly followed, but saw Zhang Ling standing next to the sundial, looking thoughtful, he stopped Lu Yao from going forward to call Pang Dun, and stood behind Zhang Ling quietly waiting.

For a long time, Zhang Ling's fat body jumped up, dancing and shouting: "I understand, I understand, it's so simple, ha ha."

"Oh, tell me what you understand?" Wang Xiu asked with a smile.

Zhang Ling didn't care at all, pointed at the sundial excitedly, and said excitedly: "Sir, you are right, since the sundial uses light to divide the time, why not use the gear mechanism to divide the time, and don't use the hourglass when it is cloudy and rainy."

"Well, let's study together these few days." Wang Xiu is very satisfied. Often an epoch-making innovation lies in the inspiration, and then the torrent of technological innovation is enough to change everything. It seems that the birth of clocks is just around the corner.

"Thank you sir for your advice." Zhang Ling flushed with excitement.

Lu Yao could see it clearly, and said with a smile: "Master, Lin Silang came from Shangshui last year and plunged into the earthen kiln for several months, saying that it was too troublesome to quarry coal, and it would be convenient to use black powder to explode it. No, sir. He didn't come here, and he is even more ignorant than Fatty."

Zhang Ling rolled his eyes, and said: "What the shopkeeper said, my brother is focused. After reading the physics and chemistry of the senior officials, he wants to make more powerful medicine stones."

Wang Xiu's eyes lit up. This surprise was big enough for him. Lin Silang was also a child from Shangshui Nursing Home. He was studying in Shangshui Primary School. Gunpowder, which is more epoch-making than clocks, he couldn't help feeling excited when he thought about it, and said, "It's okay, let's go and have a look."

At this time, Zong Liang walked quickly to his side and said in a low voice, "Sir, Father Shan missed his hand, and the captives are heading south at a high speed."
