Chapter 70: The Artillery Break Begins

The army is pressing, the soldiers are approaching the city, it is time to fight hard, I heard that Xu Zhen is going to fill the stone bullet, and many soldiers are even more slapping their hips and sighing, this iron bullet has never been effective, what is the use of the stone bullet, this battle will be defeated by the hands of Xu Zhen who pretends to be a ghost!

However, Li Chunfeng and Yan Lide looked at each other and laughed, and then laughed, and even Li Jing in front of him couldn't help but turn his head and asked with interest: "What's so ridiculous about the two of you?" โ€

Li Chunfeng pointed to the enemy army under the city, and replied proudly: "General, look, this army will become dust!" โ€

Everyone was wondering if this Li Chunfeng had taken Xu Zhen's mad medicine and was talking nonsense, but they heard a loud noise from the two cannons at the head of the city, and after the fireworks, the enemy phalanx that rushed forward fell in large swaths, just like clear water rushing through the thick ink group!

"It's... That's impossible!!! โ€

Everyone was shocked!

Li Jing squinted his eyes slightly, confused at first, but soon deduced the answer, this cannon is so powerful, the stone bullet is bound to be broken into countless fragments, and the fragments are like falling stars and flying stones in the sky, easily piercing the armor of the enemy in front of him, and starting to kill and injure the enemy in a large area!

Tuyuhun is also full of liver and gall, the closer they get, the more they feel the ferocity of the "Zhenwu General" like the power of heaven and earth, the foot soldiers in front of them are like cutting wheat and mowing grass, and the charging generals are cold, where is there still half a sense of war!

The three artillery pieces were fired one after another, and the interval was only a short moment, and the debris in the sky formed a fan-shaped death zone in the area of the first half of the city, no matter how the enemy attacked, it could not break through this artillery defense line, and all that was left was the pile of broken corpses!

Ashinariel was also frightened, the archers were far from being able to enter the effective range, if they retreated at this time, they would be defeated, and he could only give a command, ordering the foot soldiers to raise their shields layer by layer to form a barrier to resist the attack of fragmented stray bullets, while the rangers on the left and right sides charged out like roaring steel dragons!

"Kill!"

The iron hooves shook the earth, and in the blink of an eye, the two thousand rangers bypassed the range of the three close guns from the left and right sides, and once they were allowed to rush into the phalanx, the Divine Fire Battalion would surely collapse!

However, there were already cavalry in ambush on both sides of the Shenhuo camp, and above the city head and behind the city gate, there was still a phalanx of archers, how could the opponent's rangers succeed!

"Shoot the arrows!"

Without Li Jing's greeting, those generals shouted one after another, and the archers under the city released the feather arrows in their hands together, and for a while, the white feathers covered the sky, like a large cloud floating in the night sky, shrouded in the heads of the charging rangers!

"Poof!"

The sound of arrows piercing through the flesh and blood was connected, and the rangers on the left and right sides were shot over by hundreds of heads, just like a frenzy hitting the embankment, and the formation almost collapsed!

The rangers were already cowardly, but Ashinariel was unwilling to give up, and the cavalry that followed could not stop their footsteps, otherwise the rear would collide with the brothers in front and trample on each other, and the casualties would be even more serious!

The key to the cavalry's charge lies in the large number of them, condensed into an irresistible force, and there is absolutely no reason to retreat in a hurry, and at this time they can only rush forward.

However, after the rear archers of the Ganzhou side took turns to shoot, they called up a phalanx of 500 foot soldiers, and the foot soldiers of this formation did not raise shields and guns, but each of them held a strange style of machine crossbows, ten people in a row, three rows in a group, the first ten people crouched, the middle half squatted, and the back ten people stood ready to shoot.

The wild cavalry dodged the artillery death line, and luckily avoided the rain of arrows, and saw that the last line of defense in front of them was only a small crossbow phalanx, and their hearts were overjoyed, and they stabbed the horse's belly sharply, and accelerated to rush over!

Their rear has already been strangled into a mud by artillery, and if this cavalry can't destroy the Shenhuo Battalion, Ashinarir will only have the road to defeat!

When he pinned his hopes on the left and right cavalry, the sound of the crossbow triggering was filled with the rumbling cannon, and the cavalry in front began to fall off their horses one after another!

Although there were only thirty people in each regiment, what they held was the Yuanrong repeater after Yan Lide improved the body shape, with ten iron arrows per person, and each regiment could shoot three hundred arrows in a row!

And after the front group is shot, the team behind will follow seamlessly, and the crossbow battalion of five hundred people is constantly running like a windmill, and the crossbow with great strength and extremely accurate angle seems to have never stopped, and the iron arrows are like a storm and rain that does not stop, and the cavalry at the head is suddenly lost in half!

"Oh my God, grandpa!" These cavalry couldn't hold the terrifying power of the crossbow, and they were suddenly overwhelmed, and they didn't lose Ashinalier's order, they scattered from both sides, and fled for their lives in panic!

When the cavalry began to rout, the Chinese army's foot soldiers and archers were already in chaos, and seeing that the defeat was decided, they rioted one after another, and the overseers did not kill and demonstrate, in order to urge the soldiers to move forward, because the overseers began to retreat one after another!

"A thief who kills a thousand! Why don't you give me an order and send 5,000 of Golch's men to help? Ashinariel personally supervised the battle, and after beheading a few low-ranking officers who took the lead in fleeing for their lives, he hurriedly called his own soldiers to the rear to give orders.

The 5,000 troops of Geerhe's father and son were left behind to prevent the surprise attack of Khibi, and at this moment, in order to reverse the decline, they had to be transferred over first.

In the midst of danger, the battlefield suddenly became extremely quiet! It's as if the world has stopped making noise, and this illusion is really subtle!

After a short period of silence, people shouted and neighed, the sound of arrows raining through the air, and the wails of disabled sergeants poured into their ears again.

"Run out of shells!"

Ashinarier's heart was ecstatic, and many generals seemed to see the dawn of victory again, because the artillery became dumb, many Ashina rebels gathered one after another, and their morale was greatly shaken!

Xu Zhen was also helpless, not because the shells were gone, but because the gunpowder was exhausted!

In order to develop these gunpowders, Li Chunfeng and Yan Lide used almost all the relevant resources in the army, the genus of nitrate and cinnabar mercury is a cherished thing by everyone in Danding, gold is precious and rare, and they can save up so much gunpowder, no matter how strong the power is, it can only be done to this extent, and there is no way to do more.

As soon as the artillery stopped, the enemy army suddenly counterattacked, but after the killing of artillery and repeaters, the enemy's strength was greatly weakened, Xu Zhen was not timid, and without waiting for the main force in the city to attack, he had already drawn the long knife in his hand, and shouted: "Where are the brothers of the Shenhuo Battalion!" โ€

The brothers under his command responded in unison, brandished their blades one after another, and followed Xu Zhen to kill him!

Xu Zhen grasped the handle of the knife with both hands, the narrow blade was dragged behind him, and after a few quick steps, he rushed forward, and an enemy on the opposite side pressed his elbow and stabbed at Xu Zhen suddenly!

"Let go!"

Xu Zhen shouted violently, and the arrow stepped forward, avoiding the lance blade, but the long knife was cut to the end along the lance pole, and the enemy's hands were broken in response, Xu Zhen slashed again, and cut off the huge head!

Seeing that their lords were bravely in the lead, the brothers were not left behind one by one, and the male soldiers in the city also poured out like a tide, and the two sides entered the rhythm of hand-to-hand bloody battles!

Xu Zhen is full of talents here, fierce generals are like clouds, and look at Xie Anting's white armor and silver spear after the Han Ma Chao, Zhou Cang's giant knife is comparable to Yi Dedianwei, Gao Heshu is rampage like a brute bear, and the iron thistle bones are pouring blood rain everywhere, like the Shura who is chasing his life, Yinzong comes and goes like the wind and kills to show the speed of lightning, Xue Dayi's horizontal knife is decent, the attack and defense are moderate, but it is flawless, Qin Guang's pair of long swords fight each other left and right, and the edge is boundless!

Many brothers are like the dragon ascending to the sea, like the tiger coming out, and like the wolf and leopard beast tide, everyone is vying to be the first, all of them are brave, and they are killing heartily!

Although Xue Wanche had some of his own pickled deeds, he was a genuine war general, leading the army out of the city, plowing a long bloody path in the blink of an eye, almost cutting the local battle formation in half!

Li De's martial arts are superb, and there are adults of his family who are watching the school in the city, and they do their best, a strange red blade flies up and down, slashing left and right, blood gushes all over the body, like an evil god and evil ghost, the defenders of Ganzhou are as powerful as a dragon, as powerful as a tiger, and they kill the white ground into a pool of blood!

Ashinarier thought that there was a turning point, but when he saw that the artillery had stopped, he thought that the time had come to turn defeat into victory, but he didn't expect that the loss of strength was too serious, and the morale fell again, and in such a conflict, hundreds of heads were lost!

He was so angry that he screamed, looked at Xu Zhen's position, slapped the chestnut horse under his crotch, and waved the ancient halberd weighing more than fifty catties in his hand, and came straight to Xu Zhen!

Among the many weapons, if you talk about the difficulty of cultivation, there is a song that says: "A month stick, a year of swords, ten years of swords, a lifetime of spears." โ€

This lance is more difficult to play than a gun, and what is even more difficult to practice than a lance is this ancient halberd! Whoever uses the halberd, if he is not a fake villain who sells his reputation and reputation, is a big hero who is against a hundred!

It's also a shame that this Ashinalier is a character, more than fifty catties of six halberds, and he forcibly used seven or eight hundred catties of overlord heroism, the horse neighed, and the halberd in his hand flew like a dragon, but it was long and short, and he was going to take Xu Zhenqingqing's life!

Xu Zhen was also working hard, covered in blood and slush, the long knife in his hand hissed through the air, cut the falling snowflakes in half, and then cut off half of the enemy's chin, and then stabbed the heart with another knife, white in and red out, fierce as a jackal!

This fight was stalemate, but he didn't want Ashinariel to come to the door, and when Xu Zhen came to his senses, Han Mangsensen's halberd had already slashed over!

Ashinarier's halberd is also a bit weird, it is not a male halberd commonly used by generals, nor is it a Fang Tian painting halberd in romance, nor is it a light hook gun, and it is not like the ancient standard divination halberd, but a rare halberd!

This halberd is also known as "Qi ้‰พ [mรกo]", Qi is a small Yue, ้‰พ is a fake spear, issued in the Han Dynasty, but it has not been promoted, and there is no record in ancient books, it is a rare weapon, the halberd head has a blade, which can be cut into the long-handled axe, and can also be used to make the spear thrust with the tip of the branch, which is varied and quite difficult to get started.

However, Ashinarier has been playing with Qimen blades for ten years, skilled in his hands and feet, and he is about to finish off Xu Zhen's halberd, but he doesn't want to obliquely but suddenly a big man ran out, drew the lance on the battlefield, and threw it straight at Lier's face!

Ashina Li'er was caught off guard, so he could only lose Xu Zhen, and lowered his head to dodge the flying lance, and the person who threw the lance had already taken the opportunity to bully him, and shouted violently, and the strange big knife in his hand suddenly cut off Li'er's horse front hooves!

"Thieves are so daring!"

Lier scolded angrily, but fell off the horse!
