"Here we are." There is no need for spies to check, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, this time the momentum is even greater than the last time.

Using the binoculars, Xiao Xiaoyan saw the opponent's formation clearly at a glance, and he said: "This time the other party is well prepared, there is such a huge heavy cavalry in front, but where did their armor come from, Brother Yu, does the Ministry of Intelligence have any news about this?" ”

"Yes." Speaking of this, Yu Zhan became both angry and disdainful: "It's not that damn family who betrayed the interests of the Central Plains, they secretly sold grassland steel, and also improved their forging skills, their vision is only their own interests, completely ignoring the people and the country in the world." ”

"But their skills are like that, even if they are heavily armoured, even if they are blades, they can't defend against them, let alone guns."

"Hehe, how the Central Plains has nothing to do with us, now we are the people of the Yanhuang Empire, this is the country that really thinks about our people, not to mention that Your Majesty and your lordship's compassion for the soldiers is worthy of our death."

Xiao Xiaoyan has now been completely integrated into the Yanhuang Empire, when he became a refugee and a homeless person with his parents because of the war in the Central Plains, and almost starved to death. But because of the relief of the empire, they were also given the right to live, their parents lived happily, and they also took their favorite wife, and now their son is three years old, although he misses home outside, he hopes to be able to open up territory for the empire.

Because it was not only the wish of his parents, but also the expectation of his wife and father-in-law, who had all had the same experience and received the same favor from the Empire.

Thinking back, now that the two armies were on the verge of breaking out, he couldn't afford to get distracted, even if it was easy for them to solve the battle in front of them. What they learned in school required them to do their best, no matter how weak they were.

Xiao smiled and said, "How are you prepared, there are no mistakes, right?" ”

"Commander, please rest assured, there will be no accidents, and even if there is, we have set up a vigilance, and they will not have any possibility of sneak attack."

This operation was based on the most detailed deployment of intelligence, and some possible attacks were also taken into account. What's more, the material resources in the rear are constantly coming, and they don't need to worry about the fact that today's ammunition can't pile up millions of people.

If not, then bring a few more big ships.

The lethality of artillery fire This group of grassland barbarians has been ruthlessly understood, and now although it is a gathering of millions of troops, there is still some anxiety in their hearts.

However, this battle must be fought, and they have no way out. Of course, it is not completely impossible to retreat, they can still retreat all the way to the west, but how can they be willing to leave their ancestral land like this.

The leaders of the great tribes sat on the most handsome horses of the steppe, their faces solemn, and they considered when to charge the positions of the invaders in front of them.

Tanai said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there may be that kind of thunder that can explode on the ground in front of you, and the enemy can also launch a heavenly thunder, and if you charge directly, you will definitely suffer heavy losses." ”

"Tanai, do you have a better way?" Xiong Tao, the leader of another large tribe, said: "The warriors of the tribe are not afraid of death, and although the other party has such an artifact, it is impossible to destroy our millions of men and horses at once. They only have less than 10,000 people, as long as we rush over a small number, it is not something they can stop, for the sake of the tribe, for the sake of the sacrificed brothers, everything is worth it. ”

"What's more, as long as we destroy them, the artifacts in their hands will belong to us, and then everyone in the whole world will still be the opponent of my steppe warriors."

In the face of such a temptation, they were not unmoved, Tanai didn't say more, and said directly: "Then let's rush, millions of people, I don't believe that even this little bit of people can't be dealt with." ”

If Xiao Xiaoyan and the others heard their words, they would definitely scoff, in the face of absolute strength, even if there were more people.

In response to this outpouring of the steppe barbarians, they had long turned to the Empire for help and brought in more artillery. Ten artillery positions, fifteen hundred guns, were already aimed at covering the path of the opponent's advance at this moment. And their camp is carefully selected, and they will never give each other the possibility of rounding.

All these steppe barbarians can do is to defeat them directly from the front, otherwise they will definitely not be able to cross their line.

"Kill, children, rush me, kill all these two-legged lambs!"

"Driving ......"

Looking down from above, the originally forbidden black phalanx began to pour towards Xiao Xiaoyan and them, and the whole earth trembled.

However, at the moment they moved, Xiao Xiaoyan and Yu Zhan watched closely with binoculars, and ordered: "Artillery preparation!" Preparation! ”

Xiao Xiaoyan silently stared at the range of the artillery in her heart, and immediately shouted after the enemy entered the range: "Release!" ”

"Boom, boom, ......boom" The dust flew up with the sound of artillery fire for a few breaths, and the people turned on their backs, causing heavy casualties in an instant.

But the steppe barbarians were undaunted, for some of them rushed alive in the midst of the artillery fire, and they were left behind in the blast zone, and if they tried to advance, they would soon be able to rush and kill this group of hateful people.

This time, they came prepared, as long as someone used their lives to trigger the consumption of the thunder on the ground, then they could take a step forward in the future. Coupled with the heavy armor on the body, it should have an effect on the tube that emits thunder, even if it is not large, but it is enough to buy them a moment.

The artillery fire did not stop, they were intertwined into a covering net, and it is believed that there should not be many people missed after the screening of the artillery, and then the minefield that followed will be partially extinguished. Next, those who can continue to charge behind, and the multiple trapping ditches will definitely be a nightmare for the cavalry.

As for those who do not die like this, when they come out of the ditch, there will be no mercy on the grenades and guns. The cavalry became infantry, and with guns and grenades, Xiao Xiaoyan was 100 percent sure that they would kill as many as they could.

The rear of the steppe tribe army, Tanai and the others, watched anxiously, and there were no telescopes to assist them, so the smoke and distance made them not very clear about the battle situation.

They don't say that fear is false in their hearts, they are also afraid of death, and now they can only silently pray that the gods of their grassland can bless the people of the grassland.

The gods may have, but prayer won't bless them.

In the smoke and dust, where they couldn't see clearly, more and more cannonballs whistled, and the potholes also made many cavalrymen turn on their backs, and the fallen men and horses also turned into obstacles to their progress in the blink of an eye, and then there were very few who could really break out of the gunsmoke.

Don't underestimate the impact of emotions, when the formation is unsustainable, when the horses are frightened and uncontrollable, the disaster really begins.

The other party claims to be a million-strong army, and there is no way to verify the exact number, but the cavalry is only a few hundred thousand at most, and when these horses riot, the infantry that follows closely behind will be trampled alive, and the frightened horses will not care about the weak humans in front of them.

"Commander, they're messed up." In Yu Zhan's telescope, although there was a permeated smoke of gunpowder, they could still see a lot of situations.

This situation naturally made Yu Zhan breathe a sigh of relief, although he knew that it was not a big problem to resist, but the actual situation was only known after the fight.

He smiled and said: "There are not many people who rushed out, and all of them fell into the ditch, and no one climbed out, I don't know if they were afraid to play dead inside." ”

"It's possible." This battle lived up to expectations, as the commander of this battle, the regiment commander Xiao Xiaoyan also lost the last trace of pressure at the moment, he said: "Let the artillery continue to bombard, since they have entered the range of fire, leave them as far as possible to save some effort for the next sweep of the entire grassland." ”

It was a relaxed and happy place, and the hearts of several leaders of the grassland were almost sinking to the bottom, and the front was covered by smoke and dust, and they couldn't see the situation clearly, but the rear began to be chaotic, and horses kept rushing into the crowd.

As for where these horses came from, they didn't have to think about it.

In this case, it must be the front-end cavalry that has an accident, but I don't know if there are any people rushing over?

"Rush in for me, and those who dare to retreat will be killed." Several leaders personally stepped forward and shouted, seeing that some could not control the scene, they directly slashed a few people with their swords, and the bloody picture and the leader's reprimand made the turbulent infantry stabilize their positions.

"Rush in, the warriors at the front have rushed over, you must follow in their footsteps, the victory is ours." Although I don't understand the specific battle situation, the morale of the army needs to be inspired.

The leader's words made them join the battle again, but in fact, they couldn't help it, retreating is death, and moving forward may have a way to live. I didn't see a few former brothers lying on the ground, and his own leader was ruthless to the enemy, and he would not be the slightest ambiguous about his own people who were disobedient.

However, this threat was clearly useless, and when the soldiers rushed into the smoke again, it was not long before they retreated faster, for the bloody facts told them that there was even more hope of staying alive after entering. Then they also realized that their leaders were just a few people, as long as everyone was bent on running, the unlucky ones were not necessarily themselves, this was the way to survive.

"Stop, stop, there will be no mercy for those who escape!" Tanai and the others were demoralized and rode horses to kill many people, but they still couldn't stop these soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit and were bent on escaping.

Even some of the soldiers looked at their leaders with a change in their eyes, because they were in the way of their lives. Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention these barbarians who are already particular about the jungle.

The solution is unexpected, but it is also reasonable, the soldiers who have been driven crazy by the artillery fire are now only thinking about their lives, and they are directly drawing their swords against those who want to kill themselves.

It's just a few leaders, and the force may be outstanding, but in the face of so many people, in the end, there is only the possibility of hate.

So not to mention that there was no one to come, Tanai and the others became the most aggrieved leaders who died in history.

Xiao Xiaoyan didn't care about the rear of these steppe barbarians, and their order was: "Bombard them with artillery fire, and if anyone crosses the minefield and crosses the trap ditch, they will greet them with grenades and muskets." ”

I wanted to surprise with the five latest rifles developed by the Empire, but unfortunately there is no place for them yet. The opponent has too many soldiers and horses, and the distance is too far, if it is a city defense battle, in the case of defense, it is absolutely easy to take the head of the enemy general.

At this point, the war on the grassland is slowly coming to an end, and the next step is the final clean-up work.
