Chapter 685: Artillery Leads a New Era (First Update)
Just as the Divine Capital was preparing for the full implementation of the military rank system, a war began in that distant Roman country, which represented the dawn of a new era.
In the Balkan steppes, less than a thousand miles from the city of Rome, you can see a forest of swords, battle flags fluttering, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here, and a great war is about to break out.
In the east, with the sound of horses' hooves, Yuan Yi, wearing a golden armor and a crown on his head, stepped out of his horse, and the blood-colored Qin King Banner behind him swayed in the wind.
Although Daxi did not set a clear hierarchy of the throne, the word Qin already represented everything, and it symbolized monstrous martial arts.
After all the soldiers saw it, their eyes showed a strong reverence, Yuan Yi not only made good use of the art of war, cherished the soldiers, but also martial arts peerless, there was a person who captured the glory of the city, in just less than half a year, led the army, invincible and invincible, has made the soldiers admire from the bottom of their hearts.
Yuan Yi pulled the horse rope and looked at the army blocking on the opposite side, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
With a slight wave of his hand, he saw a pitch-black cylinder cannon immediately pushed to the front of the battle array, at least hundreds of guns, and next to each artillery, there were two artillery pieces standing.
This is specially arranged by the Privy Council, originally there were only a few dozen ordinary kings at most, even if it was Yuan Ming, the king of Yan, there were only a hundred doors, but Yuan Yi was far beyond them, this was Yuan Yi's fastest march, and the second was also specially ordered by Yuan Xi, for this son who was not by his side since he was a child and had saved himself twice in a row, Yuan Xi not only had love, but also guilt.
"Today the king will destroy your last hope in Rome in one fell swoop"
I saw that after Yuan Yi finished speaking coldly, the sound of battle horns resounded throughout the world, and after the hundreds of thousands of troops behind him shouted angrily, they immediately prepared for battle.
"Kill!"
Seeing this scene, the Roman army immediately surged, not afraid of life and death to charge towards Daxi's military array, the mighty iron hooves, the terrifying momentum, seemed to shake the vast steppe in front of them.
Seeing that Rome had entered a distance of five hundred meters, Yuan Yi waved his hand violently, "Shelling the enemy"
"Yes!"
"Shelling of enemy troops"
With the loud order issued, I saw a famous artillery in front of the battle array rumble and explode instantly, and suddenly the artillery fire was in the sky, the earth shook, and the battlefield in front seemed to fall into a sea of fire, and a large number of advancing Roman cavalry were directly blown into the sky by the air waves, and countless Roman soldiers were killed on the spot.
That amazing power made Daxi's hundreds of thousands of troops stunned one by one, and the distance of less than 500 meters seemed to have become an abyss of death, frantically harvesting the lives of Roman soldiers.
And Rome was directly blinded by this sudden artillery fire, and a soldier with a broken leg and a bloody face looked at the sky, crying and shouting: "Is this the punishment of the gods for us?" ”
The continuous artillery fire made the swarming Roman army retreat in fear, but they really did not know that they should continue to advance at this time in the face of artillery fire, rather than blindly retreating, because this would mean death.
"The whole army is attacking" Seeing that the artillery fire suddenly stopped, Yuan Yi drew his sword and ordered in a loud voice.
The "killing" momentum of the rainbow army immediately surged out, covering the past towards the Roman army that was panicked into a pot of porridge.
Yuan Yi held a sharp sword, rode a war horse, crisscrossed the battlefield, wantonly killing, and terrifying sword qi made ordinary Roman soldiers unstoppable.
In less than half an hour, the last elite of hundreds of thousands of Rome were defeated and retreated, and fled with their heads in their hands, leaving behind corpses.
At this time, in the sky above the battlefield, among the white clouds, I saw Sun Yao's galaxy shuttle hidden here.
Looking at the scenes of the big victory below, Sun Yao in front of the screen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to help Brother Yi, but now it seems that I don't need it at all."
"Miss, I have already said that the artillery of the Tiangong Divine Courtyard has been instructed, and it is even more terrifying than when it was first made, and it is impossible for ordinary troops to win under such dense artillery, but if it is a shuttle, it is estimated that it will be a matter of minutes" Bao'er said proudly.
"That's not good, Brother Yi originally lacked a foundation compared to other royal brothers, and now he urgently needs military exploits, if he uses a shuttle, then it is not Brother Yi's ability, and his father has also ordered that he can't use a shuttle unless he has to" Sun Yao smiled.
"Miss, I heard Yu'er say that after His Royal Highness King Qin returns, His Majesty will marry you" At this time, Bao'er suddenly asked seriously.
When Sun Yao heard this, he immediately bowed his head a little shyly and said, "This, it's not decided yet."
"Miss, although Bao'er's memory has been erased, I don't know your specific origin, but it is certain that it must be extraordinary, if your biological parents oppose it in the future, then what should I do" Bao'er said with some concern.
Sun Yao's eyes froze, and he said seriously: "Bao'er, I only have one father, that is the great father, and my marriage can only be decided by my father, and no one else is qualified to take care of it."
Bao'er was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, Miss still seems to be very deep in her biological parents' concealment, this matter, it is estimated that Emperor Xi can manage it, but unfortunately Emperor Xi has long regarded Miss as his own daughter, with that domineering character, how can he make his own daughter uncomfortable.
After about an hour passed, the battle was completely over, tens of thousands of Roman soldiers fell on the battlefield, the army was chasing, blood stained the grassland, Yuan Yi rode a war horse to scan the battlefield.
"Your Highness, after this battle, our army will definitely be the first to take the city of Rome" I saw a burly, handsome young general holding a big sword, excited to ride his horse.
"Guan Xing, where do you think the key to this battle is" Yuan Yi suddenly turned his head and asked.
"The last general feels that the key to this station is that our army is equipped with 500 artillery, and the terrible artillery fire directly completely extinguishes the momentum of Rome's decisive battle, otherwise even if it can win, it will never be so easy, especially in such a prairie," Guan Xing, the son of Guan Yu, said in amazement.
"Yes, this station can be said to have changed the mode of war, from now on, the simple battle of killing, as well as the competition of numbers, is no longer the most critical, the birth of artillery is enough to destroy everything" Yuan Yi nodded with a sigh.
"Even if Your Highness said it, but this artillery can only be studied by my Daxi, and five hundred cannons are the envy of other Highnesses," Guan Xing said proudly.
Yuan Yi shook his head and smiled, looked at the sky and muttered, "This is just the present, the future may not be known."
When the battlefield was all cleared, a scout with a battle flag on his back suddenly ran in front of Yuan Yi in a hurry, knelt down and said, "Your Royal Highness King Qin, the city of Rome has been broken by His Royal Highness King Yan."
"What are you talking about" Guan Xing was taken aback.
Yuan Yi was stunned for a while, and then admired: "It's really worthy of being a big brother, it seems that he took the sea route, directly surpassed us, and arrived in Rome City"
"Really, King Yan destroyed all the defenses along the Roman coast with artillery fire, and broke through the city of Rome all the way," the scout said.
"Damn, if we hadn't contained the last elite army of Rome, how could it have been like this" Guan Xing was a little unwilling, although Yuan Ming was the eldest son, he had already convinced Yuan Yi and belonged to the line of King Qin
"Haha, it's okay, as long as you take Rome, it will be a victory, as for who captured Rome, it's all the same, the eldest brother is the eldest son, in fact, taking Rome first is the best result" Yuan Yi said indifferently.
"Your Highness, what about us"
"Order the whole army to speed up to the city of Rome," Yuan Yi commanded.
"No!"
The news of the destruction of the city of Rome soon reached the ears of the kings, although they were a little surprised and a little disappointed, but seeing that it was Yuan Ming, the eldest brother, who was attacking, they could accept it in their hearts, and they all began to converge towards the city of Rome.
At the same time, the terrifying power of artillery has also been completely revealed between heaven and earth, and it represents Daxi stepping into another era.
