Chapter 36: The Mighty Rifle
Taking a deep breath, Yan Zhongdao ordered the soldiers to charge according to the arrangement he had just arranged, this time because of the preparations, the charging soldiers also dispersed, perhaps because it was night, and many soldiers did not see the scene of the musket slaughter, so they were not timid and charged according to the order.
Soon, they rushed into the range of the muskets, and there was a burst of continuous shooting, this time because it was more scattered, so the casualties were a little smaller than last time, Ling Yu saw this, and ordered the soldiers to shoot accurately, which was also a row of guns, but before to deal with the cluster charge, the dense flow of people did not need to aim, this time they scattered a little, so Ling Yu ordered the soldiers to shoot accurately, this method is also very significant, even if they spread out, but the casualties began to increase again.
Yan Zhongdao looked at the fallen soldiers one by one, and prayed in his heart that the archers would hurry into the range, maybe God heard his prayers, and the archers behind rushed into the range, because there were people in front of them who attracted firepower, although the archers were not without casualties, but they were not big.
More than 500 archers followed the order, and immediately drew their bows and arrows when they entered the firing range, and the dense number of arrows flew towards the gun array.
Ling Yu saw the arrows flying, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to activate the armor, of course, the armor of the new army is also activated and maintained with spirit crystals, and they do not need their own spiritual energy, they have already installed spirit crystals before the battle, and when everyone heard the order, they turned on the activation switch of the armor, and the gun array flashed with white light, and then the arrows were shot.
The arrows are all arrows with three-level rocket runes attached, which shows how elite the army brought by Zhao Botao is, an archer has 15 arrows in a pot, each of which is attached to the rocket runes, and the bow is also engraved with fire runes to strengthen the power of the bow, but even so, because the archers are shooting arrows at the maximum range, the arrows flying over are not powerful, and they can't break through the third-level armor of a company of soldiers, just listen to the sound of clanging, The arrow was powerlessly bounced off after touching the armor engraved with the third-level ice armor runes, and after Ling Yu's improved armor, the protective performance was naturally not comparable to ordinary armor, let alone consumption.
Seeing that the archers were almost useless, the most arrows shot out were the soldiers who injured Ling Yu, none of them were killed, and the soldiers who attracted the firepower in front were falling rapidly, and there were less than a hundred of the five hundred people who would rush up, Yan Zhongdao was already frightened, and it seemed that he couldn't continue, leaving Qingshan without worrying about the lack of firewood, he ordered to retreat.
The soldiers who received the order in front of them were amnesty, they didn't even want their weapons, they turned around and ran after dropping them, just like last time, there was a burst of chaos, Ling Yu saw this, so he ordered the soldiers to march and shoot at the same time, and in this way, they took the lives of more than 100 people, so far, more than 500 people of 1,500 people brought by Zhao Botao and Yan Zhongdao have left, and they will flee in a hurry, and Zhao Botao's 100 guards are escorting the two of them to flee without their lives, wanting to escape into the dense forest.
Seeing this, Ling Yu ordered to stop shooting, put on the bayonet, and then loaded a bullet, charged and chased after it, a company of soldiers used a rifle to fight for the first time, seeing that the rifle was so powerful, hitting several times the enemy with his head and running away, now is the time when morale is high, he rushed forward with a rifle, this will not pay attention to the formation, catch someone with a long-trained stabbing technique to stab over, and then pull out the gun, regardless of whether he is dead or not, looking for the next one to chase.
Some soldiers shot the bullet first, and after harvesting a life, they chased after it with a rifle and stabbed violently, and soon chased to the outside of the dense forest, Ling Yu did not follow, but Luo Quan led the whole army to charge, and when he saw that the enemy had fled into the dense forest, he ordered to stop and clean up the battlefield, and the seriously injured were directly given a bayonet or a shot, and the lightly injured were arrested, and the military medical officer was treated and left for interrogation.
Ling Yu looked at the results with satisfaction, although he didn't specifically calculate how many people there were, but looking at the situation just now, there were probably more than a thousand people, the musket really had an absolute advantage over the battle of cold weapons, especially such a psionic musket, if it was a gunpowder gun in his previous life, although it had a certain advantage, it was not so big.
After explaining Luo Quan's plan to the battlefield, counting casualties, and recording his exploits, he turned around and returned to the camp, and the next thing was that the river embankment was important.
Of course, the people on this side of the embankment also heard the movement, but they were all people or garrison troops, they were already timid, there were rainy nights, black lights and blind fire, naturally they didn't dare to move, and when the movement almost subsided, the leader of the garrison troops came over to ask Ling Yu about the situation, but Ling Yu casually perfunctory a few words were attacked and didn't say more, after all, he himself didn't know the situation, and it still needs to be investigated.
Ling Yu's side was extremely satisfied, while Zhao Botao and Yan Zhongdao's side were extremely painful, and they fled in a hurry, seeing that no one was chasing them, they also looked for the place where they were stationed last night and stopped to repair.
According to this statistic, Yan Zhongdao's face was like ashes, and Zhao Botao was still in shock, grabbing his 100 personal guards and firmly protecting his camp.
"There are more than 200 people left, 1,500 people, they were defeated by more than 200 people, not to mention, they were killed to the point that there are more than 200 people left, excluding the guards of the second son, there are more than 100 archers left, the sword and shield soldiers are all finished, what kind of weapon is it, why is it so powerful, it can resist the enemy several times, if the five armies in the capital are all redressed, who in this world can still fight against it, no, I have to quickly inform Grandpa Guo, this Ling Yu can't stay, and he must find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible." Yan Zhongdao thought sadly in his heart.
After a few days of repairing in the dense forest, the remaining more than 200 people slowly recovered, and Zhao Botao gradually calmed down, but at this time they didn't dare to make another time, they just wanted to hurry back to Beiping. Odd books
"Mr. Yan, what should I do now, how can I explain to my father for such a big loss?" Zhao Botao said with a hasty face.
"Second son, now I have to return to Beiping first, although the loss is very large, but we have also seen the emperor's secret weapon, it is indeed very powerful, so Ling Yu will definitely not be able to stay, we will hurry back to report to the grandfather of the country, so as to make arrangements to get rid of Ling Yu." Yan Zhongdao is right.
"Then it's arranged by Mr. Lao Yan, let's go quickly." Zhao Botao said with palpitations, he was frightened by the power of the musket array, not only him, Yan Zhongdao was also frightened by the musket array, but Yan Zhongdao was more experienced after all, so he naturally settled down faster and considered how to solve the problem.
went to this threat, Ling Yu was idle, usually inspected the embankment, checked the production progress of the craftsmen, and then organized people to install the earthen wall spirit guide, life was easy, Lin Ou had been here a few times, but at this time Lin Ou was also like ashes, and probably knew his fate, so he waited for the Jingshi to send him to deal with him.
This is because of the results of the interrogation of the lightly injured soldiers who were captured, it is also a coincidence that there are people who have contacted Lin Ou before among these soldiers, and they have also spied on intelligence in the previous team, most of the soldiers died on the battlefield, a few of them were lucky, and they were only slightly injured, these people, Ling Yu planned to escort them back to Beijing and hand them over to the emperor for disposal, but the report of this matter, Ling Yu sent it out after interrogating the prisoners.
After more than ten days, almost mid-August, the rain has gradually subsided, Ling Yu also plans to let people take back the earth wall spirit guide, and then send the people to start building and reinforcing the river embankment, these spirit guides are useless, but they can also be returned to the furnace to rebuild other things, the number is still so large, nearly 10,000 ah.
At the end of August, the emperor's will came, and he directly dismissed Lin Ou from his position as the prefect, escorted him back to Beijing to ask for the crime, and promoted Song Zhiyuan, the same governor of Kaifeng Mansion, as the prefect of Kaifeng, Song Zhiyuan is the nephew of Song Qian, the first assistant Song Qian, and serving as the same governor here is to contain Lin Ou, but the Zhao family is powerful, and he has not done anything, but he didn't expect that Lin Ou would be involved in this case, and he directly straightened it out, which also made Ling Yu's life after Kaifeng Mansion much smoother.
None of the soldiers on Ling Yu's side were killed, ten were slightly injured, some of them were injured when they were not paying attention to the pursuit, and some were not very lucky to be scratched by bows and arrows, but on the whole, the results were extraordinary, the traitor was 1,003, he injured 10 people, zero deaths, and the report had already been issued, and after returning these two hundred and fifty people who came out would be rewarded, promoted to military rank, rewarded with money, etc., I will not repeat them one by one.
In the future, these veterans will be dispersed to various posts in the new barracks, and let them take those soldiers who have not participated in the battle, which will have direct benefits for the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the new barracks.
Of course, after this battle, the soldiers had a deeper understanding of the power of the psionic rifle, and it also made them more admired the "inventor" of the rifle, their adult Ling Yu, as long as Ling Yu's war knife pointed, they would charge without hesitation, which Ling Yu did not expect.
Ling Yu has always done things from beginning to end, so he stayed here for a while, until mid-September, after inspecting the embankment reinforcement work, seeing that there was no problem, and the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion were also back on track with Song Zhiyuan's efforts, Ling Yu led everyone back to Beijing.
Ling Yu solved the problem easily and happily, and the Zhao Mansion in Beiping was gloomy, after Yan Zhongdao and Zhao Botao fled back to Beiping in embarrassment, they naturally reported the situation of the battle that day to Zhao Ritian in detail, the more he listened to Zhao Ritian's face, the more gloomy his face became, of course he also knew that if according to what Yan Zhongdao said, if the five armies in the capital were redressed, then what would he rebel against, if he dared to move, the five armies in the capital would crush him in minutes, even if he gathered all the border troops to no avail.
The border army is indeed elite, but when he encounters such an unreasonable weapon, he has no confidence at all, not to mention, he can also control the border army in Shanhaiguan, and he can't control the armies of several other border cities, so he needs Beihu to help him contain it.
"Mr. Yan, you're right, Ling Yu can't keep this person, he must send someone to get rid of him, but now the emperor must pay more attention to him, and he has sent an eighth-level spirit master to help him control the field before, if there is no ninth-level spirit master, I'm afraid it won't pose a threat to him, not to mention that he still has a ninth-level spirit master." Zhao Ritian said gloomily.
"Grandpa Guo, it's true, I'm afraid that I can only ask Beihu to take action in this matter, even if I pay a bigger price." Yan Zhongdao said fiercely.
The one who refused to make a move also said that Ling Yu was her nephew after all...... This matter ......," Zhao Ritian said uncertainly.
"Grandpa Guo, that person's goal is to ruin the emperor's world, and now that Ling Yu has been born, don't say it's us, even if Beihu goes all out, he may not be able to win favor with the five armies in the capital after the redress, not to mention that the other border troops are also finally the emperor." Yan Zhongdao said with a gloomy face.
