Chapter 975: A Great Victory
At this moment, it is late at night, and the enemy army has already rested in the barracks, although there are many soldiers guarding around the barracks, but the combined forces of the five countries are sneaking up, and the army of Chu does not need to approach at all.
When the five-nation coalition forces rested at night, they still used the older methods to guard against the enemy's sneak attack.
It is nothing more than arranging sentries near the barracks to inform the soldiers in the barracks to be ready to respond at any time.
But this is only for ordinary battles, such as the kind of army with swords that rush into their barracks and sneak attack.
In this way, the soldiers who are on guard will find out, notify the sleeping soldiers, and if they react, they can fight quickly and greatly reduce the damage of being attacked.
But now in the face of the army of Chu, they still deal with it in this way, which is obviously very unwise.
Because the army of Chu does not need to approach at all, it may not even alarm those soldiers who are on guard.
They only need to install the cannon and bombardier at a distance of a few hundred meters, and then launch the bomb with the cannon and bombardier, as long as it lands in the barracks of the five-nation coalition forces a few hundred meters away, it can cause huge damage.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even at this time, the enemy's sentinels discovered the sneak attack of the Chu State, but what is the use, could it be that if the sneak attack is discovered, can the Five Nations Alliance Army be dispersed immediately?
Even if they wake up, even if they have weapons in their hands, they are still in the barracks, and they are still in a group.
In this way, the bomb will have absolute lethality to them.
Therefore, their precautions are of no help to the Chu State at all.
At this moment, I saw the soldiers of the Chu State quietly approaching, placing a cannon and a bombardier a few hundred meters outside the barracks of the Five Nations Alliance.
At this time, because the movement was too loud, it was discovered by some sentries, and the sentries immediately went back to report, but where was the speed of their errands faster than the speed of the bomb?
Tens of thousands of cannons and bombardiers fired bombs one after another in an instant.
In the dark night sky, some black shadows suddenly flew out, and these shadows dragged a small tail with sparks, which was the lead on the bomb.
The length of the fuse and the distance from ignition to the landing were calculated, so when the bombs streaked across the night sky and landed in the barracks of the Five Nation Alliance, they exploded.
In the originally quiet barracks, the sound of instant rumbling continued to sound, and most of the soldiers were asleep when they were suddenly awakened by the earth-shattering explosion.
Some were directly frightened, and some died under the power of the bomb before they even reacted.
The entire barracks instantly turned into a sea of fire, and the tents, food, grass, and some clothes and armor were all blown up by the power of the bombs, and even burned.
The soldiers were in the huge barracks, holding their heads and running around.
But there was the sound of bombs exploding all around, and bombs kept falling overhead, and some of them were killed without running a few steps.
This time, the bombs were very dense. Tens of thousands of cannons and bombers continued to drop bombs one after another, and tens of thousands of bombs fell at one time.
After a few rounds, tens of thousands of bombs fell on the entire barracks, blowing up the entire barracks everywhere.
There were more than 2 million soldiers in this huge barracks, but after several rounds of shelling, at least 300,000 or 400,000 people had died.
However, it's not over yet!
On the side of the Chu State, the barracks were still transporting cannons and bombardments to this side, and some soldiers of the firearms battalion were also holding bows and arrows and crossbows to fire arrows tied with bombs in the direction of the five-nation alliance barracks.
This battle is undoubtedly unilaterally crushed.
The soldiers of the Chu State barely raised their knives to kill the enemy from beginning to end, and they only used bombs and tools to inflict heavy losses on the Five Nations Alliance.
Almost 100,000 shells were fired that night, but the further back they went, the less damage they did to the soldiers, but they were still able to kill some enemy troops.
Eventually, the enemy forces were all scattered, and each time the bomb fell, it was possible to kill only a few people, and sometimes there was no one in the area where the bomb fell.
In this case, there was no need to bombard again, so Xue Rengui ordered that the 10,000 or 20,000 people of the firearms battalion retreat first, and then the people of the infantry battalion and the cavalry battalion rushed towards the heavily damaged Five Nations Alliance troops with knives and guns.
At this time, the remaining soldiers of the Five-Nation Coalition were either seriously injured or lightly injured, or were frightened by the bombs, or had no idea of fighting.
In short, all their will to fight was completely shattered by the explosion of bombs.
At this moment, they only had fear and fear, they felt that the soldiers of the Chu State were devils, and they felt that the bombs falling from the sky were simply immortal-like abilities.
This was beyond their imagination, and for these soldiers on this continent, it was impossible to imagine that there was such a powerful thing in this world.
They had sharp knives in their hands, long spears, hard shields, and thick armor, but how could they withstand the bombs that fell from the sky?
The Five Nations Alliance suffered heavy losses, and the more than one million soldiers on the side of Chu who had a great morale rushed forward to chase the Five Nations Alliance troops who fled in panic.
This night is very long, this night is full of killings, and I don't know how many people died this night.
But, the next morning, everything was quiet, and the soldiers of the state of Chu withdrew from the enemy barracks, leaving behind countless corpses.
Of course, quite a few soldiers of the Five Nations Coalition fled.
The soldiers of the State of Chu did not chase after them, because there was no need for the soldiers of the State of Chu to chase after these enemy forces who had already failed.
They have failed, and there is no reason to drive them all out.
Because the soldiers of the Chu State believed that after this battle, those soldiers of the Five Kingdoms would not dare to set foot in the territory of the Chu State again.
Back in the barracks, Xue Rengui ordered the whole army to reorganize and rest, and they were not worried about the enemy's counterattack, because it was impossible for the enemy to counterattack.
After that day, the news came out again.
In the palace of the Chu State, Qin Ming saw the news sent back by Xue Rengui, and said with a smile without surprise:
"Now the five countries should be honest, and some other countries with different intentions, I think they should also dispel some thoughts that they shouldn't have."
And at the same time, the emperors of the five countries including the Ice Country were sitting in a large hall in the imperial palace of the Ice Country at this moment.
After listening to the report, their faces were gloomy as water.
The five emperors didn't speak for a long time, at this moment they were not only shocked why they lost so badly, but at the same time, they were also worried that if this battle was lost, how would they deal with themselves in the future?
