Liu Yi was a close confidant general of Gongsun Du, and Gongsun Du discussed with him how to establish himself as a king, and his status in the army can be imagined. Even after Gongsun Kang succeeded him, he relied on him a lot.

Although Liu Yi is older, he is more serious, and after he broke through the Popov Heihe camp, he immediately ordered 10,000 musketeers to go south in two ways, east and west, to prevent the white-skinned people from escaping from both sides.

In the dock, Mrs. Bobo had more than 10,000 horses, and was bombarded by Liu Wei for five or six thousand, and the rest really had to flee from both sides.

It was absolutely impossible to take the Black River, dozens of warships blocked the way, and if they did not swim out in time, they also froze to death in the river.

Four or five thousand deserters were encountering musketeers, and it was another siege, and those who could escape were almost unlucky.

By dawn, Liu Yi and Liu Wei brothers joined forces, Liu Yi led civilian ships to return south along the coast, took away 50,000 musketeers, and left 50,000 cavalry to guard the Heihe, and Liu Wei's fleet patrolled left and right, and not a white-skinned man was allowed to cross the river to the north.

However, Liu Yi hurried to the boat, and on the third day, he returned to the south to join Gongsun Kang.

It was only at this time that Popov learned the news that the Black River dock and the large battalion had been destroyed, and he was immediately shocked.

Some people suggested that Popov go directly south, and the way back was cut off, but he could go directly south to grab territory, supply grain and grass, and feed the war with war.

Sure enough, Popov led the army south and attacked the newly built Obifang County.

Gongsun Kanghui sniped with an army of more than 100,000 troops, and the two sides met on the east side of Changbai Mountain, each with damage, and Popov could not advance an inch.

Moreover, Popov was not familiar with the terrain, although the army and horses were strong, but in the mountain battles, he suffered some small losses, and the army suffered serious attrition.

As a battle-hardened general, Popov knew that if he continued like this, he would never recover, so he thought about withdrawing his troops, but there was no way to retreat to the north.

Only to the west.

To the west is the Buyeo country, which is also heavily guarded.

Gongsun Kang guessed that Popov would retreat westward and seek an opportunity to flee north, so he hurriedly summoned the prince of Buyeo to Wei Gechi.

At this time, Ling Tong and Bu Qi happened to be in Daqing, and they began to discuss with Wei Gechi.

Bu Qi said: "The white-skinned people are ferocious, they are now cut off from the source of food and grass, they will do whatever it takes, it is said that the people of the Black Dragon City have been looted by it, if they are allowed to cross the mountain, there will be a catastrophe, it is better to take the initiative to attack and annihilate it in the Black Dragon County." ”

Wei Gechi said: "There are still 1230,000 Popov military horses, and our army has no musketeers, there is a gap in equipment, and the number is insufficient, but how can we take the initiative to attack?" ”

Ling Tong smiled: "Old Captain, you can rest assured, in fact, everything is in my Chenhe Guoyuan's calculations. He had already made an appointment with Gongsun Kang to attack, and I Chenhe Country also had support. ”

"How many soldiers?"

"Ten thousand!"

"What? Ten thousand? Is this called support? ”

Wei Ge was speechless, he sent 100,000 troops, and Gongsun Kang's soldiers and horses, almost 250,000, Chenhe Guoshen kicked it, it turned out to be 10,000 soldiers and horses, and said that it was support.

Ling Tong said: "I have 10,000 soldiers and horses, but I can resist your 50,000, do you believe it or not?" ”

Wei Gechi shook his head helplessly, but 10,000 is better than nothing.

Ling Tong and Bu Qi glanced at each other and snickered in their hearts.

This 10,000 soldiers and horses can indeed be worth 50,000.

Just in April, the South sent new weapons, that is, 10,000 rifles and 500,000 bullets!

It is said that this is the production that began after the founding of the Chenhe Kingdom, and the results of eight months were all transferred to the Lingtong Independent Regiment!

After a month of live-ammunition target training, the army has some experience in grasping firearms and is ready to go to the battlefield.

The shock that this rifle brought to Ling Tong simply made him feel that his outlook on life had been subverted.

Its accuracy can make ordinary soldiers hit the bull's-eye at 500 meters away, and 20% of ordinary soldiers in the army can penetrate Yang in 300 steps! This is not a hundred steps!

What's more, this rifle not only has a long range, high accuracy, and is far more lethal than the previous shotgun.

Bu Qi and Ling Tong finally knew why Yuan wanted to sell the previous gunpowder gun to Gongsun Kang, and it turned out that that thing was eliminated.

Powder guns take tens of seconds to reload ammunition, and the rifle is finished with two clicks, which is not comparable.

In Yang Xi's secret letter to Ling Tong, he particularly emphasized that the rifle is a strategic weapon of the Chenhe Kingdom, and it is not allowed to lose a shot, even if it dies, the gun must be brought back, and the bullet must not flow out, including live ammunition for training, which must be counted.

This rifle is Cao Cao's hold, and they can also imitate it, they can only imitate bullets, steel technology, they have solved it.

But others can even imitate bullets, because others also have modern gunpowder manufacturing technology, and they are no less than Yang Xi.

They were just one size sample away.

Originally, Yang Xi didn't want to put this thing on the battlefield so early, but the reality was too fast, and there was no way to do it.

At the beginning of June, Ling Tong led an army of 10,000 troops, followed by Wei Gechi's army, and marched east into Heilong County, crossed the Songhua River, and advanced towards Popov's army.

And Gongsun Kang in the south had already gotten the news, so he also organized a large army and pressed towards the north.

More than 200,000 troops formed a encirclement of Popov.

It must be encircled, because the sea to the east and the Black River to the north, and Popov has no boats unless he swims across the Black River.

But hundreds of boats patrolled back and forth on the Black River, and if Popov moved, he would be half-crossed in the river.

Besides, if the movements of the army of more than 100,000 people were to be hidden, where could it be, Gongsun Kang sent a team of five or six hundred people, and its movements could not be hidden at all.

On the seventh day of the first month of June, the tripartite army completed the encirclement at Wuding Mountain in the south of the Songhua River.

Wei Gechi didn't pay attention to Ling Tong's 10,000 military horses at all, but only arranged for him to supervise the grain and grass on the back road.

Gongsun Kangze's 150,000-strong army surrounded the passes on both sides of the southeast, and Wei Gechi guarded the west alone.

If Popov retreats north, he will reach the Songhua River.

On the ninth day of the first month, the battle began, Popov ordered the army and horses to break through the blockade, and Wei Gechi's whole army pressed on it, blocking the four main roads, and resisted with bows and arrows.

It turned out that this Popov actually made a feint, but his main force retreated to the north, preparing to force the Songhua River.

If he could do so, he would be able to leave all his army behind and withdraw all the way to Buyeo.

However, Popov cupped the 50,000 soldiers and horses, and did not get any favors, and when he personally led the army to cross the river, he encountered the most advanced army in the world at that time.

Popov led the army at a gallop, and the Songhua River was already in sight.

Although the northeastern plain can be seen as far as the eye can see, if there are people lying in the grass, they cannot appear.

At this time, in the summer, the grass grew wildly, and Ling led the troops to lie in the grass, although there were only 10,000 military horses, but they were lined up for three miles.

When Popov entered the firing range, Ling Tong had not yet given the order to attack, when he suddenly heard a "bang", it turned out that someone was too nervous and the rifle went off.

Ling Tong shook his head speechlessly, this recruit is a good thing for himself, if the other party withdraws, this miracle will be in vain.

However, Ling Tong was lucky, a gunshot rang out, Popov didn't care, he had no way to retreat, he could only move forward.

More than 200,000 troops were killed in the rear, and 50,000 military horses could not resist for long.

Popov raised his command knife and signaled to charge, and Ling Tong raised his head to the sky and fired a signal flare, and the whole army fired.

The two sides were a full kilometer apart, and Popov's musket was not close to each other, but the bullets were already flying.

Although a thousand meters away, it had already entered the barely designed range of the rifle, and Popov was so shocked that he couldn't even see the other party's head clearly, and someone had fallen here.

But Popov was brave, where could he manage so much, so that the whole army charged.

Ling Tongle was happy, and he really came here.
