Chapter 17 Cleaning "Yan Jiqian and Tian Dingke follow me to the left wing.
Others, listen to Master Nawu Na's order and prepare to attack forward.
The true God is watching us in heaven, watching his warriors."
At the critical moment, the great elder Pu Shiren stood up again. , shouting hoarsely, adjusting the deployment for Nawu Na.
You can't turn around and run away.
If you run away, the whole army will definitely collapse.
And charging forward, if you can defeat Chen Youding, you might still have a chance to survive.
After all, compared with the Huai'an Army, the Chen Family Army's combat effectiveness should be weaker.
They had just changed their court, and their morale could not be too high.
"Kill Chen Youding, kill Chen Youding, the true god is watching us."
Hearing the desperate cry of the great elder Pu Shiren, Nawu Na also forced himself to calm down and shouted with a knife.
"Kill Chen Youding, kill Chen Youding."
In the ranks, generals at all levels echoed in confusion.
Chen Youding is a newly surrendered Huai'an Army, and may not be able to cooperate closely with other Huai'an Army departments.
The Chen family has deep roots in Fujian, so Butcher Zhu might not be happy to see him and the Pu family fight with both sides losing.
The more important point is that from the very beginning to the present, from the front, left and right sides, only the Chen family's team blocking the front has been hearing people shouting and neighing.
Although the Huai'an army on the left and right sides was also adjusting their formation to shorten the distance between them and the Pu family army, they did not make any noise from the beginning to the end.
They seemed to be tens of thousands of clay dolls or mechanical puppets made of wood.
Their movements were neat, uniform, fast and silent.
They don't seem to make any unnecessary noise except the sound of trumpets and the clatter of horses' hooves.
Just move forward silently, get closer silently, and welcome victory or death in silence.
But the more this happens, the greater the pressure they put on the Pu family.
Just like the waves at high tide, one wave after another, rushing forward, weighing down the believers of the true God, their legs trembled and their bodies swayed like willow leaves in the wind.
"God bless you" "The kingdom of heaven and earth and all things belongs only to the true God.
He creates what he wants to create.
The true God is almighty in all things."
"The true God sent down thick fog to confuse the Kafirs.
The followers of God walked up to them and cut their throats with knives."
"Kill all their men, turn their women and children into slaves.
Steal everything from them, burn down their temples.
Then enjoy the glory given by the true God."
The elders, lecturers and holy warriors in the team took the lead in reciting the deliberately tampered scriptures.
Despair and madness were written all over their faces.
In addition to core figures such as Nawu Na, they are the people who most hope to establish a kingdom of heaven on earth.
That means they will be able to get something for nothing and take whatever they want from the conquered.
And if they lose, they will suffer the greatest losses and their future will be the darkest.
““Kill those who disbelieve and deny the signs of God; they are the inhabitants of Hell, where they will abide forever. " “Those who deny the signs of God and despise them are the inhabitants of Hell, where they will abide forever.”
"For those who deny the signs of the true God and despise them, to them all the gates of heaven will not be opened, and they will not enter Paradise until a cable can pass through the eye of a needle."
In the team, other Dashi mercenaries and the children of several big families also sang loudly.
Thousands of chanting voices converged together, actually suppressing the sound of war drums and suonas coming from all around.
Listening to the familiar scriptures, thinking about the possible existence of heaven, the endless food and the seventy-two virgins in heaven, the red-eyed robber raised his knife, straightened his body, and his mind was at peace.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
On the right side of the battlefield, the Huai'an Army's six-pound cannon began to show its power.
This internally rifled artillery fire has a very long range and is very accurate.
From a distance of 1,500 to 600 steps, a six-pound explosive bomb can be sent to the approximate range of the intended target, and the soldiers and horses around the impact point will be blown to pieces.

More than a dozen deep pits immediately appeared in the Pu family's team.
Where smoke rose, dirt and broken limbs flew everywhere.
All the "holy warriors" who were unlucky enough to stand within four feet of the impact point of the shells had their muscles and bones broken regardless of whether they were chanting sutras or not.
However, the huge casualties did not cause the Pu family army to collapse immediately.
On the contrary, the sound of chanting in their ears and the flesh and blood of their accomplices actually ignited the final madness in their hearts.
One by one, they quickly raised their scimitars, followed Na Wu Na, the self-proclaimed military governor of Quanzhou, howling and pounced on Chen Jiajun who was blocking the front.
Everyone's face is full of piety.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom," another row of six kilograms of explosive bombs smashed into the Pu family's army.
"Boom, boom" several barrels of Greek fire were directly detonated by the shells, raising a huge orange cloud.
Nearly a hundred Pu family disciples around him were all sent directly to heaven by the light of fire.
And just at the edge of the fire, a dozen holy warriors who had been personally instructed by the lecturer lifted three cyclone cannons from the pool of blood, and tightened the strings of the cannons alternately with their hands and feet.
"Shoot!"
a lecturer with a black veil on his head shouted in agreement.
Three earthen jars with fuses lit immediately rose into the air, passed over a distance of more than 400 steps, and smashed into Chen Youding's team for the first time.
Flames rolled, thick smoke rose into the sky, and the soldiers splashed by the flames fell to the ground, screaming and rolling around desperately.
However, the wet ground made the flames on their bodies burn brighter and hotter.
Soon, the people rolling on the ground turned into huge fireballs, and the smell of burning flesh and blood made the faces of those around them burst into tears.
"Quick, quick, put up all the cyclone cannons you can find and fire them straight ahead."
The lecturer in black saw the advantage and continued to remind loudly.
Hundreds of Pu family disciples were inspired and rushed towards the carriage carrying goods.
Lift down the cyclone cannons and assemble them on the spot.
Then one after another the Greek fire jars were launched forward.
"Swish, swish, swish" more Greek fire bombs rose into the sky and smashed into Chen Youding's troops one after another.
"Boom, boom, boom," the Huai'an army's six-pound cannon adjusted its muzzle and launched fire suppression against the Pu's army's "magic weapon."
After a round of shelling, at least four cyclone cannons were reduced to fragments.
The rolling fire burned the cannon operators and caused them to run around covered in red smoke.
However, the Pu family gunners, whose morale was boosted by their previous achievements, continued to quickly deploy new cyclone cannons.
He poured the Greek cupping pot towards Chen Youding with all his strength.
Shooting against the Huai'an army won't give you much advantage.
He hit Chen Youding hard, but the effect was very good.
Pu's army, who vowed to fight a bloody path, didn't care how fast the artillery fire from their right side was.
They don't want revenge, they just want to survive.
He just wanted to rush out of a bloody road from the front and escape before the Huai'an army on the left and right sides closed up.
Such a decisive tactic immediately caught Chen Youding off guard.
He had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but the Huai'an troops surrounding the Pu family on both sides were less than 5,000.
Especially the Huaiyang cavalry commanded by Fu Youde on the left, including all the trumpeters and civilian soldiers who were unable to join the battle, was only a little over two thousand at most.
But these crazy devils from the Pu family actually refused to break through on the left wing, and instead came to him from the front.
For Cyclone Cannon and Greek Fire, the best countermeasure is the Fuyuan Crossbow.
For the Chen family, which has lived in Fuzhou for a long time and has had many interactions with the sea cannibals, the arm-twisting power storage device is also not unfamiliar.
Due to their family's financial resources, they could not afford to purchase too many Greek cupping jars, so they simply combined the advantages of the East and the West and combined the bed crossbow and the whirlwind cannon to create a new Fuyuan crossbow.
The shooting range can also be as high as more than 400 steps.
It can also be operated quickly by two or three people.
It can be hung on the back of a large animal to move with the army.
Note 1 I saw Chen Youding quickly waving his flag a few times, and the Fuyuan Crossbow, which was the size of thirty donkey carts, was immediately pushed to the front of the team.
Chen Youji, the leader of Qianhu, gave an order, and thirty crossbow arrows with gunpowder barrels tied to their fronts rose into the air.

He jumped over the Pu Jiajun who was rushing towards them quickly, and struck hard near the tornado cannon that was showing off its power.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
The explosions of gunpowder came one after another, mixed with the violent explosions of Greek fire pots.
In an instant, five cyclone cannons were destroyed in the flames, along with the gunners around them.
The rolling heat wave burned the surrounding Yan clan soldiers to the point where they were scurrying away with their heads covered.
"Leave this to me, you don't have to worry about it.
Withstand the Huai'an Army's cavalry."
At the critical moment, Fifth Elder Pu Shijie stepped forward.
He led more than 500 of the most fanatical Pu family disciples to help lift more whirlwind cannon trucks from the edge of the sea of fire.
"Forward, push forward, push to the middle of the carriage.
The first row raises shields, the second row, erects spears, squats down, and the third row puts the spears on the shoulders of the second row, stretching forward.
Archers ", listen to my order, eighty steps ahead, let go."
Yan Jiqian, a soldier from Wanhu, heard Pu Shijie's cry, became cruel, turned a deaf ear to the explosion coming from behind, and commanded the most elite disciples of his clan, Facing the Huaiyang cavalry coming from the left wing.
His ancestor Yan Bolu once performed extraordinary feats when he massacred the Zhao and Song clans and the wounded soldiers of the Huaihe River.
Therefore, if the Pu family was defeated, he did not know what kind of revenge his family would suffer and could withstand the Huaiyang Army's cavalry.
It won't take long, only two to three rounds.
Judging from the current situation, Nawuna can kill the enemy, join Yisiba Xi's army, and return to Quanzhou by sea.
The sound of fluttering arrows soon sounded, and in a very short period of time, it replaced the sound of shelling and explosions behind them and became the main theme on the battlefield.
The descendants of the Yan and Tian clans, who were left behind by Daxing Lao Pu Shiren, pulled the bow strings desperately, trying to weaken the power of the Huai'an army's cavalry attack and gain more advantages for themselves.
His tactics were very successful.
The Huai'an cavalry, which was not too fast originally, became slower and slower after being covered by a large number of feather arrows.
The distance between them is getting wider and wider, as if they are planning to use this stupid method to reduce their own casualties.
"That Fu Youde doesn't know how to use cavalry at all."
"The group of Huai thieves who came over from the left were suspicious soldiers and didn't have much fighting power at all.
Nawu Na should have chosen the left as the breakthrough point."
"The Huai thief has no good intentions.
He really wants the Pu family and the Chen family to fight to the death."
In the next moment, chaotic thoughts surged from the hearts of the great elder Pu Shiren, the third elder Tian Dingke, and the volunteer soldier Yan Jiqian.
No wonder they thought too much, Fu Youde's performance today was indeed very amateurish.
The biggest advantage of cavalry against infantry is the speed of the horse.
Just rush the horse up quickly and crush the infantry directly.
Even if the opponent has feather arrows to block him and sets up a spear array.
After paying enough price, you can still go straight ahead.
But today, because Fu Youde was unwilling to let his men die in vain, he chose to disperse the formation when the arrows hit him.
Then he quickly pulled the team out of the range of feather arrows, and changed all the cavalry from frontal attack to diagonal approach.
Doing so can certainly minimize the threat of feather arrows to the cavalry, but it will be even more difficult for the cavalry to break through the defense line composed of spears and carriages.
Just as the soldiers of the Pu family who were in charge of breaking up the rear were secretly rejoicing, their chances of leaving safely had greatly increased.
Fu Youde suddenly took out a chain hammer from his waist, and at the same time clamped his legs tightly on the horse's belly.
The Khitan horse trafficked from Liaodong was in pain, and let out a low roar.
It spread its four hooves and slashed diagonally towards the array of carriage spears.
"Rarely shush" "rarely shush" "rarely shush" the screams of war horses can be heard endlessly, and the sound of horse hooves instantly sounds like thunder.
Hundreds of Huai'an cavalry, in groups of three, opened a huge long dragon, following Fu Youde and Behind his two guards, they approached the Pu family's spear array diagonally.
In their right hands, each of them carried a pair of chain hammers connected end to end.
At the handles of the hammers, two protruding iron covers glowed with a cold blue color. .
"Shield-bearer, raise your shield, raise your shield to protect your own head."

Pu Shiren, who was riding on horseback, immediately widened his eyes and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Chain hammer, Fu Youde actually tried to hit him hard with the chain hammer.
This is a common tactic of the Asu soldiers in the Western Regions.
When used to the extreme, it is terrifyingly powerful.
Unexpectedly, Fu Youde actually copied it back from the Asu captives.
"Fire arrows, archers, fire arrows to intercept.
Cyclone cannon, over there with cyclone cannon, don't just deal with Chen Youding, you should also do it for me."
Yan Jiqian is not as knowledgeable as Pu Shiren, but think about it.
The feeling of the war horse hitting his head at the speed made him feel like he was dead.
He turned his head and rushed behind him, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish" Another row of densely packed feather arrows soared into the sky and pounced on the galloping cavalry.
Pu Shide, who was organizing manpower to fight against Chen Youding's troops, immediately dispatched five newly assembled cyclone cannons to provide fire support to Yan Jiqian and Tian Dingke.
However, neither feather arrows nor Greek fire bombs had much effect.
The horses running at high speed with distance between each other are difficult to become targets of feather arrows.
Even if it is unfortunately hit, as long as it does not hit the target, it can continue to fly under the restraint of the rider.
As for the powerful Greek fire bombs, they were all smashed into the air, and in vain they raised balls of red light.
The well-trained Huai'an cavalry either jumped directly over the fire, or slightly turned their horses' heads to take a detour without being affected at all.
Seeing that Fu Youde's mount was getting closer and closer to the car wall, Yan Jiqian's nervous face turned ashen.
We are preparing to dispatch the archers for another covering shot.
But he saw that the other party suddenly freed up his left hand that had been holding the reins of the war horse, and quickly twisted and pulled the bulge at the back end of the meteor hammer.
Then, two connected iron knots sprouted out.
White smoke.
"Be careful, it's a thunderbolt."
No matter how ill-informed Yan Jiqian was, he knew that what his opponent was holding was no longer a meteor hammer.
Jump up and shout the reminder.
There was no time before the war horses rushed to the chariot formation and spears at a speed of twenty steps per breath.
Fu Youde waved his arm vigorously and threw the "chain hammer", then rode away at high speed.
"Boom" Two grenades tied together by ropes wrapped around the spear shaft and exploded in the air.
Explode the area directly below until blood and flesh fly everywhere.
"Boom" "Boom" Two other grenades tied together by ropes flew in one after another and entangled themselves in the spear shaft, creating the same disaster.
There is no way to hide.
To fight with spears against cavalry, the formation must be dense.
If it is not dense, it will have no effect.
And it was precisely because their team was densely packed and squatted on the ground in advance that it led to the most tragic result.
At the moment when the grenade exploded, none of the spearmen who were standing next to each other had time to move their bodies.
They could only huddle their heads on the back of the robe in front and resign themselves to their fate.
The grenade has been improved more than a dozen times by Huaiyang Workshop.
Although its size has been reduced by half, its power is far greater than before.
The iron shell, which had been engraved with patterns in advance, quickly exploded into fourteen or five petals in mid-air, driven by a kilogram of granulated black gunpowder.
Then, together with the embroidered iron beads wrapped in the grenade, they flew around like hail.
He tore open Pu Jiajun's mackerel leather armor, tore open the flesh and blood inside the leather armor, drilled into the bones, chest and abdomen, and mashed the internal organs into a pulp.
"Ah" screams came and went.
The wounded man who was still breathing was leaning on the body of his dead companion, vomiting blood.
Around the explosion point, the other spearmen were stunned.
He neither knew how to save his own paoze nor knew what to do next.

Before they could recover from the shock, three cavalrymen from the second row rode up again.
"Boom", "boom", "boom", three explosions sounded one after another near the impact point of the first wave of grenades, blasting the spearmen who looked like clay sculptures and wood sculptures into corpses everywhere.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave, the sixth wave, the seventh wave.
It was too late to say, but it was fast.
In the blink of an eye, there were more than twenty waves of grenades, thrown into the Pu family's military carriages and spears.
A put together defense array.
There were at least forty spearmen who were blown to pieces before they even had time to move.
Those who were lucky enough not to be affected by the explosion were squeezed together tightly.
You looked at me and I looked at you, like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"Use a spear.
Use the spear to pick up the chain of thunder in the palm of your hand, and throw it outward."
I don't know if he was stunned by the explosion, or if he suddenly had a clear understanding.
Yan Jiqian, deputy deputy of Wanhu soldiers, jumped up and shouted in a tearful voice.
This method should be feasible, at least he thinks so.
The stunned spearmen around heard this and immediately regained some of their concentration from their stupid state.
Before a new round of grenades hit him on the head, he dropped his spear and ran away.
Note 1: According to Wang Hanfeng's discussion and research on Pu Shougeng's several issues, it is estimated that Pu Shougeng massacred about six to seven thousand people.
Among them: there are more than 3,000 members of the Nanwai clan and there are more than 3,300 people in the Nanwai clan and 2,500 Huai soldiers.
According to the records of Quanzhou Prefecture in Siqian, Mingyang, from 1228 to 1233, the number of the Nanwai clan is unknown
