Chapter 419: Fan will be in a hurry to take revenge
Suddenly suffered a big loss, Cai Xide was very unwilling, and after stabilizing his position, he ordered to pursue the retreating **, if he did not take revenge, this battle would definitely become a laughing stock of others. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Pursue, pursue! Let the Tang Army pay the price it deserves!"
Cai Xide didn't believe that Tang Jun had used the power of ghosts and gods, but he had just concocted some strange things, which frightened the soldiers under his command and led to the collapse. This time they were mentally prepared to never let the same thing happen again.
Diametrically opposed to Cai Xide's fear of ghosts and gods, Min Guangjie was broken.
"General, general, Tang Army, Tang, Tang Army invited ghosts and gods to help, let's, let's retreat as the best policy......"
"Fart, where are the ghosts and gods in this world, no matter how alarmist they are, shake the hearts of the army, be careful that the head of the person on the item is not guaranteed!"
Cai Xide knows very well that he is not afraid of ghosts and gods, but it does not mean that others are not afraid of ghosts and gods, but he is afraid that there are many people who have the same idea as Min Guangjie. In order to prevent the "Tang Army's ghosts and gods from helping each other" to ferment and spread in the army, the best way is to defeat the Tang Army as soon as possible, and only in this way can those sudden messages be dispelled into invisibility.
Otherwise, once it is delayed, this unfavorable sentiment will accumulate more and more, and the threat to the morale of the military will be even far greater than **.
The combat effectiveness of the Yan army far surpassed that of the Tang army, and Cai Xide believed that as long as he calmly responded to the battle, he would definitely defeat all the Tang troops who dared to stand in front of them.
Therefore, the top priority now is to catch up with the retreating Tang army.
It's just that Cai Xide didn't know that the idiot in his mouth was in the retreating **, and he personally commanded the battle just now.
Wang Ji followed behind Qin Jin, and he already admired the young county guard beyond measure. Qin Jin brought the whole army into the highest state of combat readiness, so that the Shenwu army reacted to the sudden arrival of the Yan army for the first time, if only a third of the people were left to prepare for battle as usual, then their response would definitely not be so fast.
"Cai Xide will catch up later, so that the people below are ready to meet the enemy at any time!"
The pear flower spear had already emerged in the first battle, and the Yan army collapsed and fled in fright under the horror. In this way, it seems that the power of religious ghosts and gods can not only win people's hearts, but also intimidate the enemy, and Qin Jin has a new understanding in this battle. Until then, he had been scornful of religion, believing that these pretended to be gods and ghosts did no good other than to trap people. But now it seems that this is not the case at all, and as long as it is used properly, it can have unexpected effects.
"It's a pity that the number of powder kegs made of pear flower guns is too small, and they are completely insufficient!"
Wang Ji suddenly sighed thoughtlessly, complaining that the production of pear flower gun powder barrels was too small. Qin Jin smiled when he heard this: "This thing does not have great lethality, it can only be used for auxiliary purposes on the battlefield at most, it is unrealistic to expect it to be able to turn things around!"
Having said that, but it is not a bad thing to make too much, Wang Ji thought about it and felt that Qin Jin's words made sense.
"I heard that the envoy also created a thing called a thunderbolt, and the iron egg burst open, spreading dozens of steps?
Wang Qi has been leading troops to practice at the western foot of Hugao Mountain, so he has never seen the scene of testing the thunderbolt cannon, but just from the rumors of a few words, he can also feel that the power of this thing is far greater than that of the pear flower gun, but it is no longer the icing on the cake.
Seeing that the army was out of the valley and entered the next mountain pass, Qin Jin used his legs hard and clamped the horse's belly.
"The Thunderbolt is amazingly powerful, but it also has a disadvantage that cannot be bypassed, that is, it is large in size, heavy in weight, and extremely inconvenient to transport, so it is only suitable for defensive and defensive warfare. Fired with a stone cannon can throw hundreds of steps, and buried in the ground can be taken by surprise. This kind of thing is a secret weapon at best, and you can't take it out all at once. As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade, and when the thunderbolt comes out, Cai Xide will die without a place to be buried!"
After listening to Qin Jin's words, Wang Qi's confidence doubled, and he only felt that defeating Cai Xide's total annihilation of the Yan army was only within reach. Qin Jin noticed his complacency, so he said: "Don't despise the Yan army because of this, even if you have firearms to make up for it, there is still a big gap between the combat power of the ** and the Yan army, and it is not my forte to fight hard in the field!"
"The last general understands that the main purpose of the Shenwu Army to take the initiative to attack here is to consume its troops and frustrate its spirit, and the real decisive battle will be under the city of Jiangxian!"
Wang Ji's words couldn't help but make Qin Jin look at him differently, this plan Qin Jin only had in his mind, and he had never mentioned it to anyone. It's not that he doesn't believe in his subordinates, but what he is worried about is that if this decision is announced in advance, it will inevitably make the Shenwu Army less determined to fight, so that they will not be able to do their best to fight.
Now just by a few words, Wang Ji actually guessed Qin Jin's intentions, this person seems to be really a manufacturable material!
Previously, Qin Jin had asked Lu Qi to recommend talents, and he had heard about this person from Lu Qi many times. But in Lu Qi's mouth, Wang Qi also seems to have a weakness that is difficult to ignore, and this weakness is enough for Lu Qi to suppress this person all the time.
These thoughts were chaotic, only flashing in Qin Jin's mind, and he was thinking more about the current battle. This battle is a matter of life and death, and it must be treated with great caution.
Next, Qin Jin set the place of ambush at the intersection of the three valleys, which is also the most suitable place for ambush in the east of Jiangzhou in the high mountains. The reason why Qin Jin was sure that Cai Xide would definitely pursue him was an inference made after fully understanding his person.
Through the compilation of various intelligence, Qin Jin can easily see Cai Xide's temperament. This man is indeed a talented soldier, but he is also lost in the arrogance of arrogance. Excessive arrogance often becomes his greatest uncertainty when the enemy's strength is beyond imagination. What Qin Jin has to do now is to take this uncertainty to the extreme.
This time, Qin and Jin gathered about 10,000 elite people of the Shenwu Army at the western foot of the Hugao Mountain, although they did not have an advantage in numbers, but considering that the ambush location here was at most enough for a total of 10,000 people on both sides, this weakness could be ignored. Therefore, don't look at the 30,000 elites brought by Cai Xide, when the battle was fought, in addition to the thousands of people who were engaged in the battle, the remaining 20,000 people could only watch the battle in the back.
Wang Ji said again: "There are still four pear flower gun powder kegs in each person's hand, which is enough to deal with Cai Xide's pursuit!"
The structure of the pear flower gun is very simple, four powder kegs are tied to the front end of the spear, and the lead is drawn to the end of the gun handle, and the fuse is ignited with velvet before the battle, and the powder keg will spray out the iron sand in it, causing a certain degree of damage to the enemy soldiers who are close to the front. Coupled with the loud noise and the smoke produced after the combustion, it was enough to shake the hearts of an elite army of men and horses.
Qin Jin shook his head.
"Cai Xide is already mentally prepared, it is difficult to frustrate his sharpness with just the pear flower gun, this time he wants the god arm crossbow to appear!"
The Divine Arm Crossbow is a lightweight version of the ** Stretch Crossbow, which has been reduced by nearly half in size and weight, but its power has not diminished at all. This weapon is a militaristic weapon, and thousands of salvos of crossbows are enough to weave a web of death.
"It's coming, it's coming, Yan Jun is coming!"
In the distance, there were rangers who reined in the traces of the Yan army, and seeing that their pursuit was coming, Qin Jin took a long breath, and couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart:
"Their speed is so fast, they deserve to be grim and elite!"
Cai Xide's marching ability was far beyond Qin Jin's imagination, which also made him once again face up to the gap between the elite of the Shenwu Army and the Yan Army. At the same time, it also made him realize that the luck of winning several battles between himself and Yan Jun was not possible except for God's favor.
Qin Jin was not naïve enough to think that he would only use those temporary ways to train the peasants who usually shoveled the land with their heads for a month or two, and he would be able to suppress the elite of the Yan army that had experienced a hundred battles.
Wang Ji said confidently: "Come quickly, and you are in a hurry to die!"
His words caused echoes from the people around him, and they laughed loudly.
Jokes are jokes, and it's another thing to have a hard time with Cai Xide's department, these people are by no means easy to deal with. They followed the pursuit, and as Qin Jin expected, they were fully prepared. But now Qin Jin didn't have to fight hard, when they entered the range of the Divine Arm Crossbow, the rain of arrows flew up and fell like a spring, like harvesting crops, and a salvo took hundreds of lives.
Even if it is an open area staggered at the bottom of the valley, the space is still limited, and all the Yan army is assembled in a dense formation to attack, and the Yan army suffers the loss of the dense formation in front of the Tang Army God Arm Crossbow. By the time the three volleys fell, thousands of people had already lost their combat effectiveness.
When Cai Xide saw this scene, his distressed face turned green. The expected fire-breathing thing did not appear again, and it was the ** crossbow arrow that greeted them. He had a faint feeling that he was being teased. But when he was angry, he didn't care about thinking about it carefully, he only thought about destroying the enemy in one battle, even if he paid a relatively high price, he would never let Qin Jin's son take advantage of him.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Three kills in a row shouted hideously, and the Yan army erupted, roaring, staring at the rain of arrows and rushing towards the valley where ** was located. It's only 400 paces, but it's been bought at the cost of thousands. However, as long as they are close to each other, they are confident that they will regret being a man!
After seven rounds of arrow rain, the crossbowman of the god arm was exhausted and could no longer pull the crossbow. The spearmen who had been waiting for the battle before were at the forefront, and the pear flower guns broke out one after another with loud noises, and white smoke filled the battlefield, although the Yan army was already mentally prepared, but once again in the smoke with a strong sulfur smell, it was still inevitable to be a little panicked.
In this regard, Cai Xide had already been fully prepared, and this time he personally took the lead in rushing into the white smoke, and his corporal saw that the master was so fearless of death, and his morale suddenly soared.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The shouting of killing resounded again at the western foot of Hugao Mountain!
