2186 battles against the barbarians

"Are you sure we're going to attack this?" Meng Dong put down the binoculars in his hand and asked Wei Dou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Sure, this is an Adavika of the Mauryan Empire. Their combat effectiveness is not bad, and there are more people. We have about 1,000 scouts. After attacking this tribe, we can get about a few hundred slaves. The profit obtained is still relatively good. Wei Dou explained to Meng Dong on the side.

"What Atuo or something." Meng Dong asked puzzled.

"Oh. It was the barbarian tribal army of the Mauryan Empire. They are now in our way south, and as long as we attack, defeat them, and then take this place as a stronghold, we can open the way to the south. Wei Dou said.

"Oh." Meng Dong nodded. He finally understood what he meant. However, he still doesn't know much about this country, and the Mauryan Dynasty still comes from the above depiction, but the Yueshi people don't call it that.

"How do you plan to attack?" Meng Dong asked at this time.

"We have placed musketeers on the road they retreated, that is, on the road to the south, about three hundred or so. Then on the front, we have two hundred musketeers, and twelve artillery pieces, and we plan to bombard their large battalion with artillery, and as soon as they counterattack, we will give them a blow. Then they retreat, and we kill them. Wei Dou said.

Meng Dong nodded. The terrain here is strange, but it is conducive to the Yueshi people to do so. This is a valley, with mountains on both sides, and the Yueshi people still have a small number of cavalry, they can play a role in attacking on both flanks, but the real effect is still the need for artillery.

"But, at this distance, the other tribe will send soldiers to fight?" Meng Dong was well aware of the range of artillery fire.

"As long as there is time, give them to line up, give them time to prepare, we will be enough." Wei Dou looked at the tribe in the distance and said.

"Oh." Meng Dong nodded, he didn't want to say anything, he just came here to see. How to do it depends on their Yueshi people.

Soon, the battle will begin. Meng Dong raised the telescope in his hand to check the situation in the distance. The musketeers slowly approached the Horde, as for the musketeers behind. What Meng Dong thought was that maybe they had already arrived there a day earlier.

The artillery followed the infantry and slowly advanced, this is the five-inch artillery exported by the Qin State, the artillery is all cast in bronze, all the weapons before the Qin army have been recovered, except for a small part as a collection of weapons and cultural relics, most of the bronze is used to cast artillery, and a large number of copper coins, all of which have been returned to the furnace to become artillery, because the Qin State uses paper money, and half a tael of money is not of much use. In addition, countries also have a large number of copper coins and bronze weapons. When you can see the date of the factory, you can know that these cannons are the artillery of that period, and this kind of artillery is the inventory of the Qin army, and I don't know how to sell it to these Yueshi people. Meng Dong thought curiously. However, he soon moved on to the battlefield.

They are attacking during the day. The tribes of the Mauryan Empire will naturally find their movements. The drums of the tribal civil war, and the sound of trumpets kept coming.

What Meng Dong saw through the telescope was that a large number of warriors in the tribe had gathered, the formation was very chaotic, and these people looked dark-skinned, with their hair draped or standing on end.

"Now the artillery has begun to enter the firing position, they are ready." Wei Dou explained to Meng Dong at this time.

"Oh. I know. Meng Dong nodded in agreement.

And Meng Dong continued to check the other party's situation in the telescope. The barbarian tribes saw that they were being challenged, and all the warriors in the tribe were mobilized. Men come out to fight. There was a man in the whole area shouting frantically, presumably their leader. And followed by his battle group. All tribal men.

At the back of the battle group were all the women, the old men, and the children of the tribe, who were shouting and cheering for their men.

Seeing such a scene, Meng Dong couldn't help but put down the telescope in his hand and shook his head. There is no suspense in this battle. On his own side, he used firearms, that is, cold weapons, and there was no pressure on such a tribal battle.

"Boom. Boom. "The artillery of the Yueshi people began to wield, and the shells began to be test-fired. Solid shells were used. The cost of grenades is very high, and it is estimated that the Yueshi people will not spend too much money.

"Whew." A cannonball bounced and landed into the Horde battle group. The cannonballs knocked off the barbarians' heads, limbs, and internal organs, and the blood mist flew up continuously. And such casualties continue.

Meng Dong watched all this with interest. However, the artillery of the Yueshi people was really not very good, and the twelve artillery pieces fired together, but only one shell hit the opponent's battle group, and many shells fell in front of the battle group. It seems that the Yueshi people are still not very proficient in artillery shooting techniques. Otherwise, it would not have been such a result.

After the Horde battle group was attacked by shells, there was a great deal of confusion in the battle group, and many people began to panic. I guess they haven't encountered such a weapon attack, and they are all a little scared and stupid.

It took a long time for the barbarians in the battle group to calm down again, and then they shouted and began to attack.

After the first round of test firing of the Yue's artillery, they also began to re-aim, and after the adjustment, the second round of firing began.

"Boom. Rumble. Rumble. "The rumbling of cannon was heard.

More than half of the shells fired this time fell into the battle group of the barbarians. The horrific effects of the shells had a devastating effect on the barbarians' hearts, but their formation was barely maintained, at least their leader was still there, but immediately after the third round of fire, the battle group collapsed in an instant. And the barbarians didn't even get close to the musket team of the Yue's people. A large number of barbarians fled in large numbers. The children, women, and old people in the back also stepped back. The barbarians retreated like a flood.

"The battle is over. That's fast. Meng Dong said to Wei Dou with a smile.

"No, not yet, our loot hasn't been put away yet." Wei Dou said with a smile. Meng Dong shook his head helplessly. And so it is. Now the barbarians have not yet been captured, that is, they are still warriors, not captives. The next step is to capture the prisoners.

"But there is no suspense in the battle that follows. As soon as the musketeers fired, they had to collapse, and then they raised their hands and surrendered, and the prisoners were taken. Meng Dong said relatively lightly. He had seen too many such battles.
