Chapter 324: Yanzhou is in hand

As soon as Li Bao's voice fell, Han Jianli came to Li Bao's side and said respectfully: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Congratulations to Your Highness, the situation of a certain Weizhou army in this battle is very good, and General Xiahou is expected to win." ”

Li Bao saw that Han Jian was very discerning, and he spoke very well, so he nodded "um".

Han Jian continued: "In addition to the courage of a certain Weizhou sergeant who won this battle, the rest is the most powerful divine weapon produced in our Weizhou army. ”

What Han Jian said was exactly the itch of Li Bao, and all these weapons and equipment came from him, a traverser, so Han Jian said that the Weizhou army was strong, and patted him on the back, saying that his talent Li Bao's intelligence was the root cause of the Weizhou army's incomparably strong and sweeping everything.

Such an explicit sycophant can only be filmed by such a heroic character, and it is also so comfortable. However, Li Bao ignored Han Jian and was noncommittal to his sycophants.

Li Bao still has to give these heroes some pressure and a sense of distance, because Han Jian, Wang Jian, and Lu Yanhong were originally big people in the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, if he treated Wang, Han, and Lu like Zhang Qingping, he would only make them despise their masters, so Li Baocai kept a little distance from Han Jian and others, and did not show them too kind.

As for the strength of these weapons and equipment, Li Bao doesn't need to talk to Han Jianfen in detail, just let them explore it by themselves when they have the opportunity in the future.

Han Jian saw that he had slapped himself on the back, but he didn't get a response from Li Bao, so he had to retreat, Wang Jian and Lu Yanhong on the side looked at him gloatingly, but he was like no one else, and smiled at the two.

After Zhang Qingping, Wang Bo, Qian De'an and others saw Han Jian's actions, several people glanced at each other, and then they didn't speak, still paying attention to the battlefield in the distance.

After Xiahou Haoyue returned to the military formation, he immediately turned his horse's head to watch the situation on the battlefield, ready to wait for an opportunity to do it again.

And Ding Badao was highly nervous, after the last round of repulsion of the Patriotic Army, the iron cavalry of the Dingyan Army immediately followed, in the face of a large number of enemies, he was inevitably nervous, after all, it was the first time he commanded such a large-scale battle.

Fortunately, the command and execution of the various units were very smooth, and there were no major mistakes, Ding Badao was very pleased, he knew that all this was not easy to come by.

After more than three years of hard training, in exchange for the orderliness of this day, he knew in his heart that all this came from the head of the Ji Kingdom, if it was not for the teachings of King Ji and his wonderful weapons and equipment, if he wanted to win this battle, unless it was five times the strength to restrain the iron cavalry of Xia Zhou.

Now the Weizhou Third Army only used less than 8,000 troops, relying on the divine arm bow, artillery, chopping/horse/knife, Zhuge Divine Crossbow and other sharp weapons, it withstood the impact of more than 20,000 people on the other side. What a marvelous wisdom this is!

However, His Royal Highness King Ji has never taken credit for his return, he is humble and said to the craftsmen of the Weizhou Workshop that all this comes from exploration and learning, and also encouraged the craftsmen to think more and practice more. Every time a craftsman came up with a new improvement, he was ecstatic.

In order to improve the enthusiasm of the craftsmen in the workshop, His Royal Highness has formulated a reward regulation, he respects the craftsmen, respects the people who have the ability, his ideas have won the love and support of the craftsmen in the workshop, he spends a lot of money to reward those who have innovation, but never rewards himself, it is clear that he opened the door to innovation for the craftsmen, but also for those lowly people to draw a better future.

The respectable and lamenable His Royal Highness King Ji, His Royal Highness King Ji who is not arrogant or pretentious, you are the hope and beacon of a certain kind.

However, what Ding Badao was thinking at this time was not the right time, he collected his thoughts, and ordered to the guards in front of him: "Go and give the order quickly, at this time, the people of the artillery battalion can replace the tiger squat cannon with scattered bullets, which can kill and injure the enemy more." Why do you still not know how to replace it? And keep the bowmen/crossbowmen and musketeers on the lookout for sniping enemy officers! ”

Ding Badao's order was very timely, and it can be said that his order greatly accelerated the course of this war. The Xiazhou Dingyan Army was originally very difficult to fight with the slashing/horse/knife with the shape of a Mo knife, but now that the Tiger Squat Cannon of the artillery battalion has been replaced with lead scattered bullets, their casualties have increased even more.

Li Sijian also discovered the changes in Weizhou's artillery, the original artillery that only spewed iron balls suddenly changed the cannon, and the lethality of the cannon fired was significantly improved.

Originally, as long as the loose queue could effectively prevent the artillery of the Weizhou army, but after changing the artillery, the success rate of dodging was very low. Moreover, after being hit by artillery at close range, people and horses are killed instantly, and after being shot at a long distance, they will not die but basically lose their combat effectiveness.

In fact, the power of artillery is secondary, because the firing efficiency of artillery is lower. However, the Weizhou army's bows/crossbowmen were very fast and efficient, and often after a round of artillery fire, the crossbowmen had already fired more than a dozen arrows.

Under such a three-dimensional blow, the iron cavalry of the Dingyan Army suffered very heavy losses. Originally, with the fish-scale tactics of the Dingyan Army, the Dingyan Army could perfectly give full play to the mobility advantage of the Dingyan Army, but in today's battle, the Weizhou Army stubbornly absorbed the Dingyan Army, making the Dingyan Army lose its mobility advantage.

Xu XIII. After retreating to the second line, according to the situation on the battlefield, he and his squad never stopped attacking the enemy, and when his boss ordered that he could use the firecracker, he immediately became excited.

Xu 13 immediately ordered the crossbowmen in the team to shoot on their own, while he went to fetch his firecracker, which was usually kept secret and rarely touched, and was usually trained alone. In today's battle, the ban on fire guns was lifted, and Xu Shisan was naturally happy.

There is another important reason why he is happy, the power of the fire gun is very huge, and it has a crosshair, and the hit rate is also very high, plus the effective range of the fire gun can reach 400 steps, but the accuracy will be greatly missed. But Xu 13 doesn't care, he just likes firecrackers.

After receiving the firecracker, Xu 13 immediately took the firearm in his arms and came to the position, after opening the bracket, he began to skillfully disembowel, medicine and top, and after tamping the lead with a stick, Xu 13 began to look for the target. It didn't take long for him to find his target, then he started to aim, held his breath, and then slowly lit the fuse, and hit the target with a bang in the black smoke!

Before Li Sijian could figure out why this was happening, a whistling buckshot hit his left arm. Li Sijian snorted, half of his body was unconscious, and he felt that his arm should be broken.

The power of this buckshot was very huge, and with the impact of the buckshot, it almost dropped Li Sijian off the horse, but fortunately, the chain he tied to the saddle helped him stabilize his body.

But he had no attack power at this time, his face was pale and sweating, and after the guards found out that the military master was injured, they immediately gathered around Li Sijian to protect him.

Xiahou Haoyue found an abnormality in the Dingyan army behind the battle, he knew that this must be a big fish, so he pulled out his horizontal knife again and shouted at the cavalry of the Weizhou Cavalry Brigade: "Sons, it's time for us to attack again this time, if you want military merit and money, follow Lao Tzu!" ”

The cavalry of the Weizhou Cavalry Brigade also howled when they saw that their own army master was so brave, and they began to attack again.

The situation of Li Siji's personal guards escorting the military master away had already fallen into Ding Badao's eyes, and he immediately ordered the firecrackers to focus on taking care of this moving live target.

There were only more than 10 firefighters in the Weizhou Third Army, and more than 10 people such as Xu 13 focused on taking care of Li Siji's guards, and the result was that Li Sijian's personal guards lost more than a dozen good men in little time.

They didn't know where the weird buckshot came from, but now they had to use their bodies to block the elusive buckshot for the master. Because of the strict military law in Xiazhou, if they don't do this, they won't be able to live after they go back.

Li Siji, as time passed, his consciousness was also passing, and he wanted to take another look, but he couldn't lift his spirits, so he had to let the guards escort him away.

Xiahou Haoyue rode his horse and galloped, with two thousand high-spirited Weizhou cavalry, all the way with a rainbow of momentum, not only killing and wounding the enemy, but also shouting loudly: "The commander of the Dingyan Army was shot and killed by a certain Weizhou army, sons, hurry up and kill the enemy with a certain one!" ”

After the Dingyan army heard the shouts of the Weizhou cavalry, they began to feel panicked, plus many of them saw the scene where Li Siji almost fell off his horse, because they were heartbroken, thinking that once the commander died, how could they still have any fighting spirit, so some people couldn't help but start to turn their horses and retreat.

The flight of an individual is fatal to a disheartened army, as it is contagious, and the officers of the army are very troubled by this phenomenon, but they are often unable to cope with the rout of the army.

The deputy commander of the Dingyan Army is Li Sigong's (Tuoba Sigong) general, named Deng Yuan, who came this time because Li Sigong was afraid that Li Sigong was young and vigorous and not thorough enough, so he asked this Deng Yuan to come to assist him.

But now the army was first entangled and beaten by the Weizhou army, and the army owner was even more uncertain about life and death by the stray bullets of the Weizhou army, and he had nothing to do at this time, so he had to sigh: "After this defeat, I am afraid that the foundation of a certain Xiazhou will be difficult to have a chance to make a comeback." ”

Deng Yuan's lamentation didn't play a role, he had to follow the rout of the Dingyan army and go downstream, while the patriotic army in Yanzhou left them to fend for themselves. There is no need to die with the Patriotic Army. And after they go back to Xiazhou this time, they will start preparing for Xiazhou, and they know that this group of Weizhou troops will soon go to them.

Cao Ruting saw that the Dingyan army abandoned the city, and he looked at the remnants of his own army, he couldn't help but sigh, this is a certain Cao Ruting who is going to die. Anyway, it's better to get a hundred.

So Cao Ruting was about to draw his sword and kill himself, but the guards around him immediately surrounded him and grabbed him, and persuaded him to stay useful and plan for the long term.

Cao Ruting actually didn't want to die, but he felt that he couldn't face the upcoming Weizhou strong army at this time, and since the guards stopped him, he also went down the slope to get off the donkey.

The guards beside him said: "Ambassador Cao doesn't need to be like this, I heard that this King Ji of Weizhou is kind, as long as the ambassador is willing to submit sincerely, presumably King Naji will not be untolerant." Ambassador Cao should make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Cao Ruting looked at the surrounding guards and sighed: "Well, your kindness today, a certain Cao Ruting remembers." Go and find a rattan rope, and go to King Nagi and ask for surrender. ”

Xiahou Haoyue has been pursuing the Dingyan army, and the task of cleaning up the battlefield can only fall on the shoulders of Ding Badao, he constantly ordered the soldiers to carry it out, and when he was busy, his subordinates reported the matter of the begging of the Patriotic Army.

Ding Badao heard that Cao Ruting was quite good at picking the time, the two sides had fought to this point, you actually remembered to beg for surrender, you really didn't cry when you didn't see the coffin.

However, it is better for them to surrender, at least they can save some gunpowder and the blood and sweat of the soldiers. So he instructed his guards to take Cao Ruting to see His Royal Highness King Ji, and he himself began to prepare for entering the city to receive it.

Li Bao and other high-level officials in Weizhou did not wait for the good news of Xiahou Haoyue's victory, but waited for the begging request of the envoy of the Patriotic Army, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

Li Bao waved his hand and said to Zhang Qingping: "This Cao Jiedu has made me disappear, you go and beat him a few words, and then let him go to Weizhou to be a civilian." ”

After saying that, Li Bao turned his horse's head and ran towards Yanzhou City, at this time, compared to Cao Jiedu, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, he wanted to see the scenery of this revolutionary holy land in the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty.
