Chapter 467: Ignition and Cannon
"Yan County's order, don't go, I still have a good wine to ask you to drink, you can leave after you drink it!" Liu Bang saw that Yan Xian ordered to get up and leave, and knew that the situation was not good, so he persuaded him.
"No, no, this wine can't be drunk, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid that the top hat on this head won't be able to keep it."
"What about what the county ordered me to do? I'm still waiting to go to Huaiyue with you! Liu Bang pulled Yan County Order and said.
"Let's slow down the matter of your recruitment, I'll save myself first! Everybody come with me! Yan Xian Ling pulled Liu Bang's hand away, ignored him, and left Huaiyue Mountain in a carriage.
Oh no, someone from Huaiyue City is here! I've got to get there and tell the generals!" Liu Bang knew that something was wrong, so he also took his men and horses to copy the path, and ran to inform the Supreme Treasure earlier than the Yan County Order.
Supreme Treasure They were now only five miles away from Huaiyue City, but they didn't know that there were dangers in front and behind them slowly approaching them.
"Uncle, Huaiyue City is right in front of you, what are we going to do now? Do you want me to send someone to find out the news first, and then attack when I confirm that there is no problem? Lu Xiaoyu proposed.
Supreme Treasure saw Huaiyue City close at hand, there were a few guards on the city tower walking back and forth, and the gate was also open. If you didn't know that Huaiyue County Commander had already taken the soldiers and horses out of the city, I really thought that he was singing about the empty city plan, and it was surprisingly quiet!
Supreme Treasure glanced at the city tower a few times and shook his head, "There is no time, we still have a quick battle according to the plan, I don't know how long Liu Bang's side can last, but our side must ensure that Huaiyue City is captured within half an hour." ”
The soldiers all gasped, the Supreme Treasure had said that they would have to fight quickly, but they didn't expect that this quick battle would be completed in just half an hour, if they were in a panic, they wouldn't even open the formation. Fortunately, the Flying Tiger Army and the Mengying Army have strengthened their training during this time, and they can already complete the combat posture and fight in the shortest possible time.
"Please give me instructions!" The soldier below said.
"Okay, Li Da will lead a small vanguard force by you to lure the enemy out, I want to see how many troops the opponent has, but there should not be many troops left in the city. Once you've lured them all out and come within range of our cannons, the rest will be easy. So don't think about being greedy for merit in this first battle, just succeed in attracting them out, and remember not to go head-to-head with them, do you understand! Supreme Treasure ordered Li Da very seriously.
"No!" Li Da saluted the Supreme Treasure, and immediately organized an army to rush towards Huaiyue City, "Brothers, go up with me!" ”
Under Li Da's order, the three-hundred-man vanguard organized by the Flying Tiger Army and the Mengying Army rushed to the city tower without hesitation. Originally, Li Da still thought in his heart that if he caught a few people chasing them and chased them fiercely, he would directly kill them first, so as to make a first contribution. As a result, he regretted it as soon as he rushed in, who said that Huaiyue City was an empty city, and it was densely packed with soldiers, all of which were under the banner of Chu.
"Who are you who dare to break into Huaiyue City?" Zhang Liang was reorganizing the army there, preparing to go to the next city after dealing with this side of the matter in a while. As a result, I saw such a small group of 300 people without a banner rushing into Huaiyue City and looking at them face to face.
Li Da saw that the scale of this battle was twenty or thirty thousand people, and his mind was blank all of a sudden, until Zhang Liang ordered to catch them, Li Da's subordinates forced him out of Huaiyue City, and he was almost about to be shut down and beaten by them, but fortunately he came out in time.
"Run, brothers! There are so many people on the other side that we can't beat it. Li Da only reacted to his task when he left the city gate. He shouted desperately, as if to warn the soldiers around him not to fall in love with the battle and run away quickly, but in fact, he was telling the Supreme Treasure not far away that they really had a lot of troops hidden in this Huaiyue City. His grandmother's, he is really a pioneer officer, Li Da scolded hatefully.
Supreme Treasure ordered the soldiers to stand still and wait for the enemy to approach before attacking, but Huaiyue City, who was expected to come out with hundreds of people, didn't know how to get Li Da and them to be followed by a dense stream of people.
"Uncle is not right, there are a lot of troops in Huaiyue City!"
"It's more than ordinary! There are tens of thousands of troops. Lu Xiaoyu was surprised.
Impossible, how could there be so many troops stationed in the little Huaiyue City, Liu Bang had already heard the news that the soldiers around Yan Li who protected him were almost all the troops in Huaiyue City, it was impossible for him to joke at this time, but where did so many soldiers come from? Supreme Treasure also put a big question mark in his heart.
"Fourth brother, what now? Do we fight or not? Li Yi asked, Li Da was only running forward desperately at this time, and he didn't want to lure these soldiers to the Supreme Treasure and them, if they found out that they still had reinforcements, they would definitely be wiped out.
"Uncle, what do you say, I'll listen to you." Lu Xiaoyu didn't dare to make a decision privately at this time, he still needed to get the affirmation of the Supreme Treasure.
"If it were you, would you keep fighting?" Supreme Treasure asked.
"Hit, of course hit! We have been waiting for this moment, we have been waiting for so long, and we have developed a magic cannon, if we are still afraid at this time, it is simply a waste of time, and this is not in line with the essence of the blitzkrieg you said uncle. Lu Xiaoyu said indignantly, and everyone nodded in agreement, and everyone seemed to see Lu Xiaoyu's domineering spirit as the general of the Flying Tiger Army again.
"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words, since we are here, of course we are not afraid of anything. Although the forces on the opposite side have indeed greatly exceeded our expectations, it is not completely impossible to fight, as long as we fight flexibly, we still have a great chance of winning. The cannon and the explosives pack of the newly developed waterproof lead are not covered. Wait a little longer, get a little closer. Supreme Treasure stared closely at the tens of thousands of soldiers chasing Li Da in front of him, motionless.
Ten miles, nine miles, eight miles...... Four miles...... The opposing army is already about to enter the range of the cannons.
"Prepare for ignition! Fire! Under the order of the Supreme Treasure, Li Yi aimed the cannon at the position designated by the Supreme Treasure, lit the fuse of the cannon, and waited for the loud bang.
At this time, Zhang Liang, who was chasing Li Da, suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a wrong decision, no matter how bold this team of three hundred people was, it was impossible to break into the city directly, and now he completely lost the courage just now, and turned around and ran without hesitation, which was clearly to lure them to chase them. Once you enter again, you may enter the enemy's ambush circle. Zhang Liangzheng, who understood this truth, was about to order the soldiers to turn their horses around and return to the city.
