Yuan Yun couldn't help frowning when he heard Zhang Liao say this, now that there is not much ammunition left on the tank, and the gathering of the Karasuma people is so fast, then it is certain that the tank will be surrounded again before it has bypassed this trench, and at that time the enemy will launch a major charge again, and the gunpowder army can only rely on the steel crossbow to block a wave, and then it can only fight in close quarters.

Zhang Liao looked at Yuan Yun's face, and only exhaled at this moment, and then said with a smile: "The duty of a soldier is to fight, and the destination is to die in battle, and now we have been relying on long-range firepower, and we have taken a great advantage, but if this goes on for a long time, it will inevitably make the sergeant slack, and if we are surrounded again this time, it is the time for us to show our strength." ”

Yuan Yun sighed, he even read a hint of relief and joy in Zhang Liao's eyes, one can imagine how eager he is for close combat.

Shaking his head, Yuan Yun could only ask Xu You, "Mr. Ziyuan, are we lacking in sword weapons now?" ”

Xu You smiled calmly: "There will not be a second army in the world with our equipment, although the commander can rest assured, even if it is close combat, the Karasuma people will suffer a big loss, we rely on the camp surrounded by tanks to defend, the other party wants to attack, you must get off the horse to fight with us, our Han people are not as good as them except for horseback, when it comes to fighting on the floor, but no one has ever been an opponent." ”

Yuan Yun saw that Xu You, a guy who is very life-saving now, turned out to be blood-red, and knew that the blood of this product was also burning, but it is conceivable that the Han people in this era are really brave and ruthless, and there is no cowardice at all.

"The whole army is fully armed, and all the steel crossbows are out of the warehouse and distributed to the soldiers, since the enemy must keep us, let them suffer for hundreds of years for today's choice." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart.

In Yuan Yun's mind, the Han people have almost always been overwhelmed by foreigners, especially the experience of the later Song and Ming dynasties, and they subconsciously believe that most of the battles between the Han people and the nomads are the bullied side.

But today's era is completely different, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty expelled the Xiongnu, those nomads began to be very afraid of the Han people, hundreds of years ago Huo Qubing can still make them fearful, and the Han people in this era are also full of fighting blood, retreating and fearing is not their performance in the face of foreign tribes at all, they will appear tougher, and more aggressive.

As Yuan Yun's order was issued, this order was shouted loudly by the heralds and began to spread everywhere, and everywhere there would be an exhilarating and crazy shout, and the gunpowder sergeants were all red as blood, and they wished to fight the Karasuma people now.

The tank kept moving forward, and finally reached the edge of the trench in the middle of the night, as long as it walked a few more miles, it could be passed smoothly, and then there was a flat river, and then it would be possible to return to the end in a straight line, and if the Karasuma people continued to pursue, they could fight while walking, and the endless guard Lejin would definitely not sit idly by, and would definitely send troops to support, these are what the Karasuma people are most worried about, so they just want to swallow the monster of the Gunpowder Army right now.

When the sound of the hooves of the first Karasuma cavalry came, Zhang Liao immediately gave the order for the tanks to stop, and ordered the whole army to use no limit on the number of gunpowder shells.

When the Karasuma cavalry finally entered the field of vision, they suddenly felt a raging fire at the back of the phalanx, and the unknown cavalry began to look a little flustered at this time, after all, the first two battles had caused them a strong psychological shadow, that is, the retreat would always be cut off, and then the front knights were slaughtered in large numbers.

This time, Zhang Liao did not disappoint these Karasuma cavalry, those fires were gasoline that had been sprayed down long ago when the tanks moved, and at this moment, the fire together immediately cut off the first batch of charging cavalry and the right ones who were ready to support behind.

Then, to the astonishment of all the Karasuma knights, the Gunpowder Army actually took the initiative to rush out of the tank phalanx, and in an instant a steel crossbow shot down like rain, and then the terrible sound began to explode from the front position, while the fire in the rear continued to spread, making these cavalry, who always relied on horse speed to win, suddenly unable to pull up the speed of their horses at all, and even because the horses were frightened by the shock, they seemed very flustered, and it became a burden.

The Karasuma general, who was charging with the army, finally gave an order that he was very reluctant to give and abandon his horse.

More than 10,000 knights turned into infantry in an instant, and this kind of helpless action also made the whole team finally settle down, at least because they were pulled by frightened horses, and there would be no collision with each other.

When the Karasuma knights finally assembled in a phalanx and pitched their bows and arrows, they noticed that in the darkness ahead, several waterwheel-like vehicles appeared in the reflection of some firelight.

Naturally, this could not be let go, and immediately some people began to shoot bows and arrows in their hands, but no matter how many bows and arrows were shot, it did not have much effect on the approaching waterwheel, and when some people were ready to rush up to fight in close combat, they were immediately shot by the steel crossbow, so that the Karasuma people could only hide in the formation, and did not dare to take a step, they could only watch those waterwheels approach.

Finally, when the other party got close enough, many of the Karasuma warriors in the front row immediately smelled a strange smell, and then they realized that the waterwheels were really spraying water columns, making the entire forward position as if it was raining.

The Karasuma general really didn't understand what the Gunpowder Army was doing, so he prepared to send soldiers to charge experimentally, but just as the order was about to be given, he saw that the waterwheels, along with the steel crossbowmen behind the waterwheels, had begun to retreat frantically.

I don't know why, for the generals of Karasuma, they don't understand what the other party is doing at all, why they charge first, but before they can meet the enemy, they run away frantically? The only answer was that there must be instability in the opposing position, which led to the collapse of the front.

Soon the hopeless generals felt that this was a great opportunity, so they immediately gave the order to charge, this time the Karasuma people could only run on their feet, completely lost their previous speed, but they did not run a few steps, they found that there was a fire from the two wings, and the speed of the transmission was extremely fast, and when they saw it clearly, they found that the flames of the transmission were actually their own warriors.

These living warriors are rambling around, what is terrifying is that as long as they stick with someone, the person who is glued will immediately burn, and this kind of flame can not be shaken off even if it rolls all over the ground, knowing that it is burned to a charred corpse, you can still see the fire scurrying in the muscles, which is extremely evil and terrifying.

The two wings immediately began to cause chaos because of the appearance of living people, and when those Karasuma generals were about to take control, they found that the entire front of the soldiers had already begun to burn, and the sky-high fire, mixed with the smell of barbecue, immediately turned the place into purgatory.

After these Karasuma warriors in front of them were killed and wounded, they were faced with a group of thousands of gunpowder cavalry, these cavalry were rampant, but they always left the battle line before the Karasuma warriors approached, and on the way to gallop, there were constantly things being thrown out of their hands, these things were like those cannons, as soon as they landed, a cloud of sparks would burst, and the people around them would immediately suffer heavy casualties.

It is undeniable that the Karasuma people's will to fight is far superior to others, and even in such a chaotic encounter, they still stubbornly regrouped and began to organize counterattacks on a large scale, so that the knights of the Powder Army were constantly shot and fell from their horses.

When these regrouped Karasuma people finally ignited hope, several huge black shadows appeared in front of their eyes, looking at such a tall tank guard, some Karasuma people directly threw away the weapons in their hands, they knew very well what they were facing, so they chose to accept their fate.

After Zhang Liao commanded the tanks to enter the enemy line, he began to order the soldiers behind the guards to start slaughtering, and the waterwheels continued to spray gasoline on the periphery, and soon cut Karasuma's phalanx into several pieces.

This massacre was carried out until dawn, knowing that the sky was all bright, and the Karasuma people in the rear did not send reinforcements again, they were now more cautious because of fear, and the scouts sent out to reconnoiter could already be described as thousands, even so they still did not dare to let the large army approach, only dared to chase the far rear, and did not retreat or approach.

It wasn't until the tanks of the Powder Army finally bypassed the trench that the Karasuma people seemed to remember something, so they organized nearly 10,000 horses again, and then began to charge from both sides.

Zhang Liao did not use artillery during the battle last night, firstly, because he could not aim at night, but in order to save ammunition so that he could play a greater role during the day, and this moment fully proved his correctness.

When the 10,000 Karasuma knights charged again, the artillery immediately began to fire intensively, this time with a faster rate and a wider area, because the gunpowder corps was ready to consume all the ammunition and not a single shell was left.

Under such a dense artillery strike, the Karasuma knights charged with great difficulty, and all kinds of previous tragic war scenes also made all the knights inexplicably lose the indomitable charging posture before.

When the cavalry began to spread in flames, the Karasuma general, who led the charge, could only close his eyes and wait for the same fate as his brothers who died before.

When the form of the battle formation finally began to fall one-sided, something surprising finally happened, those generals in the rear of Karasuma actually sent 10,000 knights again, and then bit the ground that had been blown up by the artillery before, and these reinforcements happened to arrive when the 10,000 people in front were almost consumed.

Zhang Liao looked at the rushing reinforcements, his eyes instantly froze, and then shouted: "Fight in armor!" ”

Yuan Yun sat in a corner of the deck, and when he heard Zhang Liao's order, his brows immediately wrinkled, this is a real hand-to-hand combat, but at this time, there is nothing to stop, and he can only watch the soldiers of the Gunpowder Army begin to assemble in the tank phalanx, everyone has a serious face, but there is a strange light reflected in their eyes.

When the two tanks at the end of the line finally stopped, the Karasuma reinforcements also came closer, and they were greeted first by a dense field of steel crossbow fire, then by a baptism of gunpowder bullets, but even so, they still survived and finally reached the nearest distance.

To Yuan Yun's surprise again, these knights who charged on horseback actually carried siege ladders, and when these tall and heavy ladders were erected, Yuan Yun couldn't believe his eyes, and couldn't understand how these cavalry transported these things.

Soon a siege battle began, and all the assembled gunpowder soldiers went up to the tank deck, facing the Karasuma warriors who were several times their size, and the tragic battle finally began, howling, shouting, and even crying, filling the heavens and the earth in an instant, even the explosion of gunpowder bombs was muffled.
