Chapter 68: Artillery Siege
Chapter 68: Artillery Siege
"Haah~" Sun Yan hurriedly shook the three of them when their knives slashed towards their hands, and the three of them were shocked and retreated.
Then Sun Yan threw the big knife weighing more than 200 catties on the spot, and before the three of them could react, they fell off their horses and died on the spot.
"This~"
The rebels were disheartened when they saw that the four generals were killed, but they still charged Sun Yan and a thousand Xia cavalry.
A battle was going on in the valley, and these infantry were the opponents of the cavalry, not to mention whether they could touch the enemy or not, and many of them were trampled to death by horses.
The scene of the two armies strangled together was very chaotic, and it was precisely because of the strangulation of the two armies that the rebels behind did not dare to release arrows.
"This enemy army is only 1,000 men, why are our soldiers scattered like a plate of sand?" The rebel general Zou Kun looked at the situation in front of him and was very anxious.
Most of the rebel troops are infantry, less than 1,000 cavalry, horses are very strictly controlled in the Central Plains, only officials can buy and sell horses, only civilians with horse licenses can own a horse, but this kind of people are very few, most of them are retainers of the official family.
The grasslands in the north are different, almost everyone can have horses, and the grasslands are very vast and suitable for horses to survive.
"General, I think it's because of the spirit of the army! The enemy general killed four of my fierce generals in a row, but I am afraid that now the army's heart has been shaken, and the general will withdraw the army! "The military advisor saw the situation very clearly, although the enemy only had 1,000 people, and they still had 15,000 people in their hands, most of them were rabble, and less than a thousand people could really kill the enemy, and they had been slaughtered by the enemy, and the best plan now was to escape.
"Run? The enemy is all cavalry! Our cavalry is less than a hundred, how can we escape? Can these soldiers outrun horses? Zou Kun looked at the formation in front of him angrily, and now he couldn't wait to pick up his sword and charge like an enemy.
"General, you also know that we have all miscellaneous cards in our hands, and we can't even get up to the table if it's not good, and it's no different from a slaughtered lamb! Hurry up! "The military advisor just wants Zou Kun to evacuate now, otherwise he may really be cold here.
"What about miscellaneous cards? I don't believe that my original army of 20,000 people is no match for this thousand cavalry! "Zou Kun made up his mind to fight Sun Yan to the death, these thousand people can't be defeated, not to mention the tens of thousands of troops in the Xia Kingdom in the future!
Zou Kun picked up his spear and rode on his horse regardless of the obstruction, and rushed forward, and directly picked off the Xia cavalry on the horse with one shot.
Sun Yan only felt a hint of threat at this time, this guy is burly, and the spear in his hand is also very heavy, this is a master.
Sun Yan said: "Who will come!" ”
"I am Zou Kun of Xuzhou, who are you? Hurry up and report your name, grandpa, I won't kill the nobody! Zou Kun said contemptuously to Sun Yan.
This guy is so handsome at a glance that he knows that he is not a fierce general, those four generals who were killed are too wasteful, otherwise he would not even be able to beat a thin young general!
"I'm Sun Yan of Xia Kingdom!"
Sun Yan? This guy's body looks like the Sun family of Chu State, could it be Sun Ding's son?
Zou Kun said arrogantly: "Your father Sun Ding is my original subordinate defeat!" Come and die! ”
Sun Ding had a battle with Zou Kun ten years ago, and Sun Ding's strength in that battle still needs to be improved, and Zou Kun is the peak of strength, after fifty or sixty rounds of the two fights, Sun Ding lost in experience.
"If you recognize the wrong person, Sun Ding will lose to you, but I am not Sun Ding!" Sun Yan picked up the big knife and ran towards Zou Kun.
"Zheng~"
Zou Kun himself was shocked to numb by Sun Yan's big knife, he now understood how the four generals died, this Sun Yan's strength is really strong, stronger than Sun Ding back then.
"Boy, a little bit of itself!" Zou Kun turned around and began to ride away on horseback, he didn't want this kind of strange power to fight hard, after a long time, he was by no means Sun Yan's opponent physically, and he would only be cut off under the horse at that time.
"Withdraw!"
Sun Yan is not stupid, he doesn't want to chase this kind of veteran, in case there is an ambush trap along the way, he can only lose himself.
In this battle, the 1,000 men and horses led by Sun Yan were expected to behead more than 6,000 enemy troops, and his own team suffered nearly 20 casualties.
"Your Majesty! The enemy army is now in chaos, and General Sun is also rushing back! Can we strike? "Cao Hengdao, the general of the new army.
Cao Heng originally participated but was eliminated because his body was too thin and greedy, and later Hanfeng's new army began to recruit, because the requirements for knowledge were very high, and the physical examination was also relaxed, and Cao Heng also ushered in the most important opportunity in his life.
"Good! The new army began to fire on the enemy! "Han Feng has already seen the end of this battle, there are more than 10,000 people, and none of them can escape!
All twenty guns were aimed at the enemy camp, and in an instant, all twenty guns were fired.
"Boom~"
At this time, the rebels were still amazed at what was so loud, and they only saw a lot of black mounds flying towards them in the air.
"What is this?"
"Is there still an ambush for the enemy?"
"Bang~"
The entire rebel camp was blown up in an instant, dust was splashed, artillery fire was fired again and again, the rebels began to flee in all directions, and the team of 10,000 people was instantly disintegrated like a mess of sand.
"All the troops are attacking!" Cao Heng held the military command flag in his hand.
Han Feng's team was like cutting leeks and frantically harvesting those fleeing rebels, and no one showed mercy.
By the time Zou Kun fled back to Lingcheng, the 20,000-strong team was now less than 1,000 people.
"Keep marching! It's bound to take the Mausoleum City today! Han Feng ordered.
Today, the mausoleum must be taken, otherwise they will have no place to sleep, although they are not afraid of the enemy's sneak attack, but it is better to have a place to rest than nothing.
The team continued to advance, the walls of the mausoleum city have gradually been exposed, the walls of this city are as high as three zhang, there are many archers on the city walls, their shooting range is only one or two hundred meters, and most of them are untrained.
"Fire!"
Han Feng didn't care so much, and he didn't bother to force Lai Lai with the enemy, because they didn't have this capital at all.
More than 20 forts began to cover the city wall and the city gate, and in an instant, the city wall of Lingcheng was full of holes.
"Ah~" The soldiers on the city wall were hit by cannonballs before they could escape, and the morale of the army in the mausoleum city was instantly chaotic, and no one dared to say that they were willing to compete with such an opponent.
"You bunch of shit! No one dares to fight now! There are still 30,000 troops in my city, are you still afraid of this Xia army of only 5,000 people? Liu Yin was very annoyed.
Liu Yin, the team that had just been attacked, sent 10,000 troops, and the rest was divided between the remaining two cities.
"Lord, it's not that we don't dare to send troops, there are less than 5,000 people who can be called elite soldiers in the 20,000 and 30,000 troops, and the rest have almost never been on the battlefield, so this battle can't be fought!" The dust on Zou Kun's face was not wiped away.
"Lord, let's evacuate quickly, if we don't evacuate, I'm afraid that our lives will not be saved!" Wenchen persuaded and explained, after all, he was left in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood.
