Chapter 749: Helpless to escape
Xunzhou, outside the city of Yubi.
"Yang Jian, let's meet again!" Happily sitting on the luxurious chariot, looking at Yang Jian under the majestic Jade City Marshal from afar, his tone was a little embarrassed. I still remember when I first came to this world, I was jealous and looked up to Yang Jian in my heart, and now I have become the king of a country.
"I'm happy, I can't imagine that the down-and-out son back then can have today, I just hate that I didn't leave you in Chang'an, and I can avoid this human catastrophe." Yang Jian said hatefully, his red eyes seemed to want to devour his happiness alive.
I used to think that he was a gentleman who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, but now he has become his great enemy, even though he has now become a giant in the Zhou army, and he is very important, but in the face of happiness, he always feels that he is a lot weaker in momentum.
"What a 'human catastrophe'!" Laughing happily, he looked at Yang Jian indifferently and said, "Yang Jian, you can have today's status just because of the shadow of your ancestors, everyone has had a little merit, how can you compare with me?" β
"I gave you three days in Lihua's face, and now that three days have passed, if you don't open the city and surrender, I will order the siege of the city. How to choose, you have to think clearly. β
Yang Jian's heart sank, his eyes flashed, but his mouth was unrelenting: "Happy Xiao'er, if you have any ability, just use it, Gao Huan's hundreds of thousands of troops back then couldn't help me in Yubi City, and I was also killed, General Ben wants to see how you can break this city with only 150,000 people?!" β
Happy smiled indifferently and said: "It was the famous general Wei Xiaokuan who guarded Yubi City back then, how can you Yang Jian dare to be as famous as General Wei?" I advise you, it's best to protect yourself, the sword has no eyes, don't die in the city. β
"Humph!"
Yang Jian shouted angrily: "General Ben is not as good as General Wei, are you happy to be as happy as Gao Huan?" General Ben is here today, see how you kill me! β
"I don't dare to say that I can defeat Emperor Shenwu, but it is enough to defeat you Yang Jian." A bland sentence is full of self-confidence that looks down on the world, as well as naked contempt for Yang Jian and the 200,000 Zhou troops in the city.
With the current status of happiness and the current combat strength of the Qi army, this sentence is not empty words.
"Fight!"
Yang Jian laughed angrily, suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and raised it above his head, and roared loudly.
"Fight! War! War! β
The 200,000 Zhou troops in the city were suddenly indignant and boiling, and the earth-shaking roar spread throughout the entire Jade City, which lasted for a long time, and a strong evil aura rose to the sky.
This is a battle for dignity, a battle for life and death, and they cannot back down, they have no choice but to face it.
The Qi army was very calm, a little strangely calm. It's just that the faces of all the Qi soldiers became more serious and cold, and the battle intent in their eyes became more and more high.
If you want to destroy it, you must first make it mad. Only by allowing the morale of the Zhou army to reach its peak, and then crushing it like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, can the fighting spirit of the Zhou army be completely disintegrated and fear implanted in their hearts.
The happy face was calm, but the mood was agitated, and the blood in the body was boiling. Carefully calculated, the dozens of battles he has experienced are all passive defense, only today's battle is to step out of the country and take the initiative.
After today, he wants to make the world's heroes tremble because of the name "happy", after today, he wants to let the prestige of Qi spread all over the world, and after today, he will lead the entire Central Plains into a new era.
"Commander Fu, siege the city." After a quarter of an hour, Happy took a deep breath and said lightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fu Fu's expression was solemn, and his heart was also excited. For many years, he finally waited for the day when he went abroad to fight.
"Knock knock!"
In the rumbling drums, under the impetus of 5,000 lux, a full 200 artillery pieces were slowly pushed from the rear to the front of the formation, and the ground was slightly entangled by a slight earthquake, and the cold breath made the backs of many Qi troops who had seen the power shiver.
Six hundred meters, the best range of artillery far exceeds the range of catapults in the city, not to mention crossbows.
Looking at the 200 guns that were painted red and were particularly bright in the sun, Yang Jian's heart swelled with strong unease. He didn't know artillery, but he had seen its power, and if it weren't for artillery, the 300,000 Zhou army would not have been so miserably.
"Today is a moment to witness history, and all the brothers are watching with wide eyes." Happy stood up, and the majestic voice spread throughout the audience, "Today I want the walls of Yubi City to be turned into ruins, in order to pay tribute to the tens of millions of soldiers who died in my Great Qi Empire!" Fireβ"
With a roar of joy and thunder, two hundred artillery pieces spewed brilliant flames at the same time, and two hundred cannonballs flew out like meteors, fiercely hitting the head of Yubi City.
"Boomβ"
In the earth-shattering loud noise, the rock-solid Jade City shook violently, the heavy masonry was torn alive by the cannonballs, and countless debris was scattered and splashed, smashing the Zhou army at the head of the city to the point of bleeding and screaming. Not to mention those Zhou soldiers who were extremely close to the explosion of the shells, they were torn to pieces on the spot, and their bones were completely gone.
It was not only the Zhou army that was shocked, but also the 150,000 Qi army, who realized for the first time the power of artillery, and the destructive power of those shells was stronger than the live ammunition of the catapult. They didn't dare to imagine if they faced this terrible weapon, they would have the courage to resist.
It was a disproportionate battle, a naked slaughter.
Just one round of artillery, Zhou Jun was beaten to the ground, and the ghost cried wolf. If they were in the wilderness, they could still escape, but in the narrow walls, they had nowhere to hide.
Yang Jian's steel teeth were almost crushed, his eyes were blood-red, and he couldn't wait to go out of the city to dismantle Xingda, but at this time, he could only hide behind the arrow tower under the escort of his own guards, guarding against being splashed by rubble.
"Boomβ"
In the loud noise, the dust flew, and the majestic wall of Yubi City finally couldn't bear it anymore, and collapsed, turning into ruins, revealing a gap of nearly 100 meters.
The sound of artillery stopped, and the Qi army did not take the opportunity to attack, but quietly looked at the devastated Jade City, and the shock in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.
On the other side, the soldiers of the Zhou army gathered together in horror, looking at the two hundred red artillery pieces with trepidation. In just half an hour, a full 10,000 Zhou soldiers died tragically on the spot, but the Qi army did not hurt a single person.
"Yang Jian, what else do you have to say now?" Looking at the dead silence of Jade City, he asked loudly.
At this time, Yang Jian's face was gloomy, gray-headed, and extremely embarrassed. Yubi City was broken like this, he really couldn't imagine what else could stop the advance of the Qi army, maybe Chang'an City was also vulnerable in front of these artillery.
Is the Zhou State really at the end of the road, and it is destined to be happy to unify the Central Plains?
"Senior brother, although the artillery of the Qi army is powerful, but the size is bulky, the movement is unchanged, as long as we rush up, it will not want to kill us if we are close, if we can take the opportunity to capture it alive, then the Qi army's heart will be scattered, we can turn the situation around and defeat it!"
At this moment, Yang Su suddenly came to Yang Jian's side and said in a deep voice.
Yang Jian was shocked, looking at the joy of the silver helmet and silver armor in the distance, a flash of madness flashed in his eyes, maybe this is my only chance.
"Everywhere, life and death, success or failure in this move, fight!" Yang Jian looked at Yang Su with a solemn face and said, "I will hand over all the masters around me to you, and the task of capturing happiness will be handed over to you!" β
"Senior brother, rest assured, Su will live up to his mission!"
The discussion was decided, Yang Jian's gaze swept over the Zhou army, and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers of the Great Zhou, behind you is the territory of the Great Zhou, where your relatives and friends live, and now the Qi people are attacking, encroaching on our land, and bullying our relatives, can you bear it?" β
"Can't!"
"Can't!"
At the beginning, Zhou Jun's voice was not loud, but under the leadership of Yang Su, everyone shouted frantically, perhaps to vent the anger in their hearts, or panic.
"As a warrior of the Great Zhou, we defend our family and the country, even if we die on the battlefield, we are worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of our parents, wives and children! Soldiers, in today's battle, let me wait for life and death together, for the sake of the Great Zhou, rush! β
As he spoke, Yang Jian shook his wrist and rushed towards the Qi army outside the city with his long sword in his hand and stepping on the ruins.
"For the sake of Da Zhou, rush!"
Hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops, densely packed, rushed out from Yubi City like a tide, although there was no close formation, but they had the will to die but they burst out of all their potential, and the momentum on their bodies was even stronger than that of Fang Cai.
"Wu Sangui, lead the rifle team to block the Zhou army."
"Qin Qiong, the cavalry division is ready, wait for my order to attack the Zhou army formation from the flank."
"Yes."
After receiving the order, Wu Sangui immediately led three thousand special forces to the front of the formation, lined up in five rows, and raised their weapons, their weapons were not bows and crossbows, but rifles. They were the first soldiers in the Qi army to come into contact with firearms, and each of them was a sharpshooter.
"Bang bang bang!"
When the Zhou army entered the firing range, Wu Sangui gave an order, and the gunfire became one, and immediately six hundred Zhou troops fell to the ground. The first platoon retreated, the second platoon followed, and another series of gunfire rang out, and again 600 Zhou troops fell.
This is repeated, when the first platoon has changed the bullets, and the fifth platoon has just finished firing, so that a cycle is formed, which saves time while maintaining fire suppression.
Courage is such a thing as it comes and goes quickly. The Qi army's artillery was already amazingly lethal, which made them panic, and now the musket made their hearts tremble, watching the people around them continue to fall, and the footsteps of the Zhou soldiers involuntarily became heavy.
When the Zhou army approached within 100 meters of the Qi army, nearly 20,000 Zhou troops fell again, and the Qi army still did not hurt a single person.
"Cavalry Division, attack!"
At this moment, with the happy order, the 10,000 cavalry divisions were like tigers descending from the mountains, suddenly rushing towards the flank of the Zhou army, and the guns rang out, and countless Zhou troops fell immediately.
A round of muskets, a round of crossbow arrows, the already loose flanks of the Zhou army were even more unbearable, and they were easily torn apart by the cavalry division, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of Qi troops swarmed up, and the Zhou army only resisted for a moment before it collapsed and collapsed for thousands of miles.
Yang Jian and Yang Su could only look up to the sky and sigh, helplessly leaving.
