Chapter 1221: The Battle of the Central Plains (4)

Wu Xiang looked at the Far Eastern Iron Cavalry galloping under the city with a gloomy face, and his heart was also shocked and inexplicable. Legend has it that the Far Eastern Army is so strong that he has never seen it, but today he has seen it, and it is indeed a strong army.

Wu Xiang always thought that the Guanning Iron Cavalry under his command was also elite, and even if he fought with the fierce Houjin Horse Team back then, he might not be much inferior.

And the legend of the Far Eastern Army, he has not really seen it, in fact, he always thinks in his heart that even in the face of the Far Eastern Army, the tens of thousands of Guanning Iron Cavalry in his hands may not be bad. This is also the main reason why he decided to face the aggressive and harsh conditions of the Far East.

But it wasn't until now that he saw the tens of thousands of Far Eastern Iron Horsemen under the city that he knew that he was a little wrong. The Far East can sweep Liaodong, almost kill the Houjin Tartars, and sweep away Monan and Mobei, how can the strength be bad.

Wu Xiang can also be regarded as an old soldier who has fought an old battle, and his heart is like a mirror, if he fights in the field, only the tens of thousands of iron cavalry under the city, and the tens of thousands of Guanning iron cavalry under him, are not enough for people to stuff their teeth.

"Look at the heavens...... There are a lot of big guys floating over......"

"My mother...... What the hell is this, has the gods descended to earth......"

"Shenzhou...... This is Shenzhou...... I'm afraid it's something that came down from the Heavenly Palace......"

The city became chaotic again, and many of the soldiers of the Guanning Army looked up at the dozen airships that suddenly appeared in the air, shouting there.

Wu Xiang looked up and followed the direction of their fingers, and was immediately stunned.

I saw more than a dozen huge Shenzhou boats in the sky, slowly descending. It grew bigger and bigger, and finally turned into more than a dozen behemoths hovering over Jinzhou City.

In this era, the sudden appearance of several big guys one or two hundred meters long in the sky is absolutely unimaginable. People in this era are generally superstitious, and for some things that violate conventions, cognition will always lean on the gods and immortals.

In all the battles of the Far Eastern Army, the air boat units were often able to defeat the enemy without a fight. Especially in the steppe, even most of the ignorant ordinary low-level herdsmen have always believed that the Far Eastern Company is a messenger sent by the Immortal Heaven.

Of course, the propaganda departments at all levels of the Far Eastern Company will not let go of such an opportunity, and they have made full use of this point when conducting political and ideological education in the grasslands.

The same scene occurred today, and as soon as more than a dozen airships of the Far Eastern Company appeared, they brought shocking effects. Even Wu Xiang's father and son were trembling with fright, not to mention the officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army.

The entire Jinzhou City was unusually quiet, Wu Xiang and his son and many officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army all held their breath, staring blankly at the behemoth in the air and not daring to make a sound, for fear of angering these gods who came down from the sky.

At this time, an airship slowly landed outside the city, laying down a D-30 howitzer % gun and a squad of artillery, as well as a base number of ammunition and other supplies.

More than a dozen artillery fighters quickly adjusted their gun positions, and in just a few minutes, the artillery was changed from a marching state to a combat state, the sighter quickly took aim, the loader also completed the preparation for loading, and the gun squad leader held a small flag in his hand, waiting for the order to open the gun from his superiors.

Qiang Quansheng was standing on an airship in the air at this time, looking at Jinzhou below through the porthole of the airship pod. A staff officer behind him shouted: "Commander, the artillery is ready, do you ...... open fire"

"How long does it take for the garrison to arrive in Jinzhou ......?"

After listening to Qiang Quansheng's words, the chief of staff standing behind him said: "I have just made contact with them, and the vanguard will arrive at the city of Jinzhou in ten minutes." ”

Qiang Quansheng thought for a while and said: "Don't be in a hurry to fire the artillery first, wait for the main force of the garrison division to arrive in Jinzhou before firing the artillery." Just take advantage of this time to scare and scare the Wu father and son. ”

There were many officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army at the head of the city, and the morale of the army was already in chaos at this time. Wu Xiang sent his own soldiers to suppress and behead more than 100 people, but they still did not suppress the chaotic situation in the city.

"Another team of horses is coming......

With a shout from the head of the city, Wu Xiang's father and son and many officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army lay on the head of the city and looked into the distance. It was found that another unit was lined up to fight horses. Each cavalry of this army had only one war horse, and the officers and men did not march as fast as the cavalry divisions on horseback.

More than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the garrison division rushed to the city of Jinzhou and disembarked from their horses. A large number of Mongolian herders drawn from various nomadic detachments in the steppe were responsible for collecting and managing the horses. The officers and men of the garrison division quickly formed a queue, and then established improvised defensive lines at various gates outside Jinzhou.

Wu Xiang and the officers and soldiers of Guan Ning at the head of the city watched the movements of the garrison division, and they were all dumbfounded, with incredible looks on their faces.

Nima ...... That's too much of a loser, isn't it!!!

This team was not a horse team at all, but an infantry army on horseback. The Far Eastern Company is too wide, there are more than 10,000 war horses, and they are all sturdy Mongolian horses at first glance.

Wu Xiang spent a sea of money in order to get together a strong war horse for each of the Guanning iron horsemen, but there are still some people riding inferior horses, and some people even ride horses.

Since the Far East occupied the northern pastures, the tribes of the steppes were integrated. If the Guan Ning army wants to get war horses, they have to get war horses through other military towns in the Ming Dynasty. This is not only the case in Liaozhen, but also in other military towns in the Ming Dynasty, and now the cavalry of the entire Ming army uses the inferior horses of the past, and the so-called cavalry of the Ming army has long been in name only.

Wu Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling really bad in his heart. The strength of the Far East is too strong, it is said that there are no tribes on the grassland now, and they are all collected by the Far East Company, and the Guan Ning Army has been doing business with the Far East for several years, but has not bought a single war horse.

He turned his head and looked at Wu Sangui next to him, his son's face was now pale, and there was still a trace of arrogance. It seems that he was also frightened.

Wu Xiang shook his head, and then said with a solemn face: "Child, it seems that this battle can't be fought, the army's morale is in chaos, even if we want to fight, no one will follow and die." You take a few family members out of the city now, the Far East will agree to any conditions, if there is a fight, it will be difficult to meet after tearing your face. ”

Wu Sangui nodded with a pale face, turned around and was about to leave with a few personal soldiers.

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering loud bang from under the city, and the surrounding earth shook heavily a few times. Immediately after another loud bang, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui felt as if the city wall under their feet had jumped. (To be continued.) )
