Seeing the Khitan army in chaos, Zhao Zhen put down his telescope and clapped his palms: "Okay! This thunder chariot is powerful and is wearing iron armor. It is indeed a powerful weapon for charging into the formation! If there are one or two hundred vehicles, today's Khitan army will be worth mentioning!"

Du Zhongxiao looked at Fu Bi on the side and shook his head secretly. The price of Pili chariot is enough to arm an army with more than 100, but its combat value is far less than that of a single army. Pili chariot can indeed charge and destroy the formation, but it is also possible to not use a car. Du Zhongxiao estimated that due to insufficient mobility and low reliability, the most suitable thing is to counterattack when defending the city.

Zhao Zhen didn't care about those, what he wanted to see was the other party's helpless look like the Pili Chariot. Even if this car rushed to the Khitan army, the Khitans had no choice. They had no way to break through the iron armor, so they could only let the Pili Chariot crush it. This feeling was so good.

Tan Yao stood in the Pili car, looking in front of the hole, constantly ordering the fire. The car looked majestic, but it was actually very difficult to use. Due to the poor roads and poor reliability of the car, it was easy to malfunction. From Xiongzhou to here, most of the road was broken. Fortunately, there were many people and more spare parts, so he drove here. I went to the battlefield today, so I must not make a mistake.

Just as I thought of this, the rumbling sound suddenly became smaller and smaller, and I gradually couldn't hear it.

Tan Yao suddenly turned his head and cursed: "What's going on? He's leaving well, why did he park the car?"

The soldiers below said carefully: "General, this car - this car is broken again. We did not bring spare parts when we came out to fight today, so we really couldn't repair it. We couldn't leave anymore, what should we do?"

Tan Yao secretly scolded him for being unlucky. He had been repaired many times in the past two days, but when he arrived at the battlefield, something went wrong. It was okay for other cars, but the one he was riding in was really anxious. He opened the iron cover on it, Tan Yao showed his head and looked at the Khitan people opposite him. He was in a mess there, and no one paid attention to it.

He turned around and said to the soldiers: "You can't move the car, so you can stop here. Fire cannons here, and you can still hit the Khitan military formation. Just shoot cannons, remember clearly, and never hit your own military formation!"

The soldiers agreed to the promise. After Tan Yao finished his order, he climbed out of the car. He took his two subordinates and ran to the side of the car next to him and slapped the body with his hands. When the people inside heard this, they ordered them to hurriedly take the lead. Seeing that it was Tan Yao, they hurriedly saluted.

Tan Yao said: "My car is so moving. When we arrive at you, we will go forward. Today's battle, I must enter the Khitan army!"

The person above Ying Nuo hurriedly pulled Tan Yao and the other two up and gave him the command position.

After getting into the car, Tan Yao let out a sigh and cursed: "Zhi Niang, it's really unlucky. Why is my car broken today? God bless you, don't break the car anymore. At least you rushed into the Khitan army and let the officials on the city wall take a look. We can really fight!"

After saying that, the cannon in the car opened fire immediately. The Khitans on the opposite side were so patient. No one rushed up until now.

At this moment, the artillery positions that the Song army followed were set up. I don’t know how many artillery fired together. For a moment, the sound of artillery rumbling, and the rain-like shells on the Khitan army fell down. The shells exploded, and the Khitan army was completely in chaos.

On the top of the city, Zhao Zhen saw this scene and nodded repeatedly. He said to Du Zhongxiao beside him: "Taiwei, the artillery in the army is indeed powerful. Like now, how can the enemy resist so many artillery? If the Khitans are not eliminated, there will be only a dead end today!"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Your Majesty is that when fighting now, artillery is the most important thing. Especially in places like this, the two sides have been fighting for dozens of days, and the formation has long been stable. If we set up artillery positions, the enemy can only wait to die."

Zhao Zhen was very interested and asked Du Zhongxiao: "Taiwei, what should the Khitans do at such a time?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "There is no way, we must come to attack our artillery position. If we don't knock out the artillery, they can only wait for death. The defeat is just a matter of time and there is no doubt. The Khitans were surrounded for dozens of days, lacking supplies, and their morale was dispersed, and they have not yet come to attack."

Zhao Zhenxi said: "If they don't come to attack, wouldn't they win like this today?"

Du Zhongxiao laughed and said, "Your Majesty, the Khitans are not fools. After this round of cannons, they will inevitably organize people to attack. Therefore, the infantry formations are arranged according to the protective cannon positions. When the Khitans come up, they must fight with the infantry first. How can they be our infantry opponents now? This attack, 30,000 Gong Sheng Army soldiers were added, and there were a lot of artillery more, and the Khitans could not withstand it."

Han Qi said: "When two armies fight, artillery is indeed the most important thing. Under artillery fire, you can't resist it even if you have a steel bar or a bone."

Fu Bi said: "If our army has arranged its formations, the Khitan will have no choice. When they come up, the vanguard cannot break through the defense of the infantry, and the reinforcements behind them cannot withstand artillery attacks and can only be defeated in the end. If there is no artillery, the enemy can still attack a certain point with a strong army. Break through a little and expand the entire army. With artillery, they can only attack the artillery position, which is completely different."

Song Xiang nodded. He only saw the fighting outside the city was lively, and the Khitan army was bombarded in chaos by his own artillery. The Khitans didn't know what was wrong. After fighting for so long, they didn't attack, but were just bombarded there for nothing. After hearing this, they realized that counterattacking the Song army's artillery position was not that simple. The Khitans had to choose positions first and then arrange attacking troops. The Song army was defending firmly, and they had to go forward one by one.

Simply put, at this time, the Khitan had to send people to continue to come forward and die. Relying on the dead, the most threatening artillery of the Song army was knocked out. But now, most of the artillery in the country was concentrated in front of the Song army, and the artillery positions were arranged reasonably. It was almost impossible for the Khitans to destroy artillery.

Du Zhongxiao looked outside the city and sighed softly. These are two armies of different eras, and the Song army has the advantage of crushing. In the past, he did not lead the army, but once he entered, he was worried that the Song army would not be able to play the advantage of the firearm era over the cold weapon era. Today, it seems that the Song army is not that bad.

The Khitan army was exhausted and unable to fight again. Keeping up with it was their military advantage in the past, and the psychological advantage brought by them was supported. Thinking that they were a big country and this team was a strong army, how could they lose to the Song army? Even if the facts were right in front of them, Yelu Hongji, including some senior Khitan officials, was still unwilling to admit the reality. They always fantasize that miracles would happen in the end.

Faced with such a Khitan remnant army, the Song army had a 500,000 army here, with thousands of artillery and sufficient materials, and almost all the national strength was used to fight. Such a battle was already destined. If both sides could recognize their strength, the Khitan should have surrendered long ago. If the Song army realized that they were so strong, they would not have been desperate to form such a powerful army.

In order to defeat the Khitan, Zhao Zhen almost did nothing and disbanded all the military academys. All possible officers entered the army. The state-owned factories were not responsible for the cost, and even issued bonds for the war. In the end, he found that he was using a slaughter to kill the chicken.

He raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky, feeling a little bored for a moment. This battle focused the eyes of the two countries before the war and took all the efforts of the ministers of the two countries. During the war, he found that it was one-sided, and the war was just lively and not fierce at all.

After this battle, I guess I will not lead the army anymore. The main force of the Khitan was destroyed and the Song army was trained and formed. What are the enemies in the world that are evenly matched? In the face of such a situation, what is the point of continuing to lead the army?
