The gate of Xingchang County¡¯s defensive city wall slowly opened, and the legions poured out like a tide. The leader turned out to be the elite of the five thousand militia regiment led by Dugu Junjie.
At the same time, Zhang Han took over Dugu Junjie's position and ordered the No. 5 gun to attack at an elevation angle of nearly 76 degrees. The shell shot several kilometers into the air and then began to fall. Finally, it fell down less than one kilometer away from the city wall.
"Boom!"
The flames soared into the sky, and the power of the explosion made everyone on the city wall faintly feel that the ground beneath their feet was shaking.
At close range, County Sheriff Gu Xingdong took a breath of air. He saw that the area within a hundred meters was instantly cleared; he saw countless stumps and broken arms flying up within a radius of more than 20 meters. He saw a cloud of smoke billowing into the air.
The soldiers of Jinyang Kingdom were even more shocked. The huge roar made the soul tremble.
Dugu Junjie took the opportunity to roar: "The country of Jinyang has betrayed its trust, and God has rewarded the country of Qixia with the power of the thunder god. Sima Zhen has been punished by heaven!
Kill, but those who surrender will not be killed! "
Although Dugu Junjie is only in the late Golden Core stage, he is protected by two Nascent Soul stages. Five thousand elites tore through the Jinyang Kingdom's forward like knives and quickly cut the enemy troops; the rear army surged in like a tide, surrounding, beheading or capturing the stunned Jinyang Kingdom's forward.
Cannonballs continued to fall overhead. Although there was only one artillery piece covering the army, it was enough to paralyze the army of Jinyang and panic.
The artillery shells, under the command of Zhang Han, were specially designed to attack crowded places, generals' flags and other places. Once you see a neat queue or battle formation forming somewhere, take special care of it immediately.
Facing the sudden appearance of artillery, the Jinyang Kingdom army was in chaos, and most of them lost their fighting spirit. The greatest power of artillery is actually not its lethality, but shock and deterrence.
The explosion that made the earth tremble, the smoke rising into the sky, the loud noise like thunder sweeping the ground, coupled with Dugu Junjie's slogans, etc., completely confused the army of Jinyang Kingdom.
Especially since Sima Zhen has not issued an order yet, some determined generals have to start organizing a retreat.
"But the Qixia Kingdom, led by Dugu Junjie, became more and more courageous as they fought; the other generals in the rear were not to be outdone, and roared and commanded the troops to charge.
Under the cover of continuous artillery, everyone rushed to the top of the mountain where Sima Zhen was previously.
At this time, the top of the mountain was already full of pits, pungent smells, and horrific broken limbs everywhere.
Taking this as the boundary, the Nascent Soul masters from Dayang Group are fighting against the Nascent Soul masters from the Kingdom of Jinyang. The Nascent Soul masters from the Kingdom of Qixia each had a set of steel weapons and armor, and each one shouted excitedly, while the Nascent Soul masters from the Kingdom of Jinyang had to fight and retreat to buy time for the army.
The war lasted until sunset. The highlands that once belonged to the Kingdom of Jinyang now belong to the Kingdom of Qixia.
The soldiers shouted slogans, dragged the three new artillery pieces to the top of the hill, and immediately bombarded the retreating enemy troops; but under the command of Dugu Junjie, the attack range of the new artillery pieces was limited to 10 kilometers¡ª¡ª The limit distance of fifteen kilometers is not yet time to use it.
Zhang Hao also came to the top of the mountain and saw the army at the foot of the mountain surging like a vast ocean, and was extremely excited. In the war that just ended, the Kingdom of Qixia won a great victory, capturing and annihilating more than 80,000 troops of the Kingdom of Jinyang in one go. This was an unprecedented victory.
Not only that, the previous bombardment seemed to have wiped out the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of Jinyang. So far, the army of Jinyang Kingdom is still retreating overnight, leaving behind a lot of baggage.
"Did you win?" Gu Xingdong, the governor of Xingchang County, is still a little confused.
Zhang Hao, on the other hand, was more rational. He looked away and said: "It can only be said to be a temporary victory. The foundation of the Kingdom of Jinyang has not been damaged. Also, although the artillery temporarily frightened the opponent, it was only temporary.
We don¡¯t have enough artillery, and it¡¯s easy for the other party to find a way to crack it.
Judging from the current situation, artillery can only be regarded as a surprise weapon. Moreover, we brought a total of 900 artillery shells this time, and more than 300 of them have been used just now. "
The excitement on Gu Xingdong¡¯s face gradually disappeared.
Dugu Junjie came to Zhang Hao and said, "Master, the enemy may come to rob the camp tonight.
"If I were the opponent's general, whether it was the chief general or the deputy general, as long as there was still someone in charge, I would definitely come to find out what happened tonight. If you can get an artillery piece or a good battle,Lili, even if you lose the battle, you will have an explanation when you go back!
¡°And we can¡¯t be sure that the opponent¡¯s coach will definitely die, maybe he will only be slightly injured; we must be fully prepared.
Not only us, Xinglin Hall, and even the City Lord¡¯s Mansion need to make corresponding preparations. "
Zhang Hao nodded: "Then, let's set a few more traps tonight."
Half an hour later, Dugu Junjie came to report: "Master, the trapped immortal formation has been set up here. The formation base is made of steel to ensure that they cannot come or go. Necessary protection has also been put in place at Xinglin Hall and the City Lord's Mansion.
¡°In addition, in order to ensure that the enemy will definitely come here, I plan to hold a bonfire dinner on the top of the mountain. During the dinner, we will have a carnival celebration and place the artillery in the most conspicuous position.
But there are certain risks in doing so. "
Zhang Hao nodded, war must bear risks, as long as Dugu Junjie thinks it is possible, Zhang Hao will support it.
Zhang Hao doesn't particularly care about military matters, because Zhang Hao knows very well - for specific military matters, it is okay to be a hindsight expert, but what is needed on the battlefield is a beforehand solution!
Dugu Junjie discussed with Zhou Shuhai, Gu Xingdong and others, and soon the whole army became excited. In the evening, we not only celebrate the victory, but also visit the artillery, and reward those who have outstanding military achievements today next to the artillery!
¡¡¡¡
Fifty miles away, Sima Zhen suddenly roared and sat up suddenly; then he felt a burning sensation all over his body, and the pain was unbearable both inside and outside his body. It seemed that his whole body had been peeled, cramped, and his bones and marrow sucked out. His soul seemed to be twitching.
In my mouth, I can taste the taste of elixirs such as the Nourishing Pill, the Cleansing Pill, and the Heart-Protecting Pill. My head feels dizzy, and there is a constant sharp buzzing in my mind. I always feel that the world is still spinning.
I can't even muster the slightest bit of strength in my body.
The guards around him exclaimed excitedly: "The commander is awake, the commander is awake!"
In a short while, more than a dozen generals gathered around Sima Zhen, but most of these generals were former middle-level generals. The high-level generals were all having a "makeup" party - it looked so miserable. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
