Chapter 0797. Capture Belus
82_82988 Indeed, the roads in the rugged mountains are extremely difficult to travel, and the bitter cold weather war elephants are also unbearable, and the sharp weapons and artillery of the Fujian State cannot be used here, and it is difficult to carry one or two thousand catties of things to the mountains in such a short period of time with manpower. Chasing the reckless wasteland, you have to be quick.
However, the creativity of the Chinese nation is unlimited, and the cast iron cannon cannot be moved, so it directly takes local materials, and when building the fortress, it has already taken a large strip of ashlar stone on the mountain stone, hollowed out the interior into a round hole, carved and chiseled the medicine room, and placed it in the necessary position.
The stone cannons were unremarkable, so it was no wonder that Belus did not pay attention to the capture, and if it weren't for the fact that the traitors had wet the gunpowder with the firewood and grass of the beacon tower, these nomadic cavalry would not have easily entered the Hindu Kush.
Moreover, the Min army has more than that.
For the infantry to fight the cavalry, they need to form a tight formation and long weapons to form a spear formation, otherwise the impact of the cavalry with all their strength is enough to knock away any foot soldier who stands in front of them.
But at this time, the heavy infantry coming out of the left and right of the Fujian army did not have time to close, there was a gap of about three or four hundred meters in the middle, and the daunting long lance did not set up on the shield array to form a death forest, which was the opportunity to rush out.
The shadow of death brought by the Fujian country these days is rooted in the heart, and the depression in the heart of the steppe wolf rider is now completely replaced by bloodthirsty, with bows and arrows, and sabers, the long faces of the steppe cavalry wrinkled by the wind and frost are full of bloodthirsty hideousness, and they are crazy with the bumps of the war horses and waving the saber, and they can't wait to harvest the heads of the Fujian army.
Soon! Soon!
This sentence is not only the Central Asian nomadic army shouting frantically in their hearts, but also the Fujian army that is arranging the formation is also constantly counting in their hearts.
Just more than half a meter under the feet of the two armies, more than a dozen bamboo tubes rooted in the ground half a meter underground, one by one fuses were burning rapidly, and the red fire light was swaying in the darkness, and suddenly, one of them turned into a separate bamboo tube and burned into a large black jar that was also buried deep in the ground.
Bang~
There was a loud bang, the firelight lifted the soil, and within a radius of a few meters, the raging explosive force swept the war horses away, and the flesh and blood were directly torn apart, filling the air into a rain of blood, and the splattered spikes and iron spikes spread out more than ten meters, even the leather robe and armor of the nomadic cavalry were also beaten out of countless blood holes.
And that's just the beginning.
The blood lotus flowers exploded in the valley, the rumbling sound of firecrackers shook the mountains, the rolling yellow sand steamed, and the rubble ping-pong smashed on the heads of the Fujian army, so that the left and right military guards had to put their shields on their heads, and the explosion of the mine array lasted for two or three minutes before stopping, and the smoke and dust of black powder took a long time to disperse, and a spectacular scene appeared in front of the two armies.
On the forward battlefield with a length of 100 meters and a width of 100 meters, the cavalry that had been rushing forward disappeared, replaced by large pits everywhere and stumps and broken flesh scattered everywhere, dark red liquid everywhere, and the murderous scene even the Fujian army itself was stunned.
The nomadic cavalry on the opposite side who faced the explosion was even more stunned, with blood red and dust on their faces, and the nomadic cavalry looked at the place where thousands of comrades suddenly disappeared in astonishment.
For a moment, the two armies fell into an eerie silence.
"Like, there's a lot of gunpowder......
Standing on a horse under his own banner, pinching his chin tied with a helmet strap, Li Jie tilted his head and muttered.
Lai Ji, who was watching the game from the sidelines, almost didn't roll off the horse, more? The mine array was arranged on three fronts, and at least hundreds of thousands of gunpowder were used! This money is almost enough to pull up an army of 10,000 people for a year, and it is all gone with a bang.
However, this power is indeed enough, if only it could be cheaper. Following behind Li Jie, Laiji thought depressedly.
The dead silence of the battlefield was finally broken by a sharp voice, standing in front of the whole army, Changsun Chong, whose belly was strangled into a gourd by a belt, suddenly pulled out his sword and roared violently at the stunned nomadic army opposite.
"Kill the enemy and serve the country, and the whole army charges!"
In the throat of the ugly male duck, the descendants rushed out on horseback first, and the vanguard Min army behind the fat man suddenly woke up, and the heavy shield was thrown directly on the ground, and thousands of heavy infantry of the Fujian army were like mountain torrents with spears and lances, shouting and killing forward.
The trend of the enemy's cavalry charging has been curbed, and they are even stupid, if they don't take advantage of this time to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, when will they wait?
The formation is no longer needed, countless Fujian troops with spears, pretending to be fierce tigers in the mountains to climb over the uneven trenches that were blown out, rushing forward with momentum, the Central Asian soldiers who have just experienced this earth-shattering scene, the first impression is to flee!
Directly holding the reins of the war horse, turning the horse's head, thousands of tribal cavalry crowded backwards in fear, the gourd-shaped exit of the valley is so big, there are many crowded people, it is like a plug is congested, you can't get in, you can't get out, in order to compete for a glimmer of life, even many nomadic knights waved their knives and guns at other tribesmen.
It was really like the famous battle of Cannae between Rome and Carthage, where the nomadic army that had lost space was crowded together, and the cavalry that had lost its mobility was not even as good as the Roman heavy infantry, so that the Fujian heavy infantry who rushed to the edge of the battle line could easily stab the cavalry on the horse.
It was really a one-sided slaughter, the sound of the spear entering the body continued to sound monotonously, if it weren't for the angry scolding and begging for mercy of the steppe people, I am afraid that it would be no different from the training in Fujian on weekdays, the nomadic cavalry was dismounted by the spear, the corpses were thrown everywhere, and the rich blood melted the dry and hard frost on the ground.
The nomadic cavalry on horseback could not even kneel and beg for mercy, so they could only stay on their horses and pray to the gods they believed in.
It seems that the Fujian army is so easy to achieve, but in fact it is not easy, since three months ago, Li Jie began to rely on intelligence to plan this scene, in order to keep it secret, he even deceived the important ministers around him, and the transfer order issued by the military department is actually in two forms, one is to gather in the White Wolf Valley, and the other is to enter the mountain and stand by in place.
In order to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people, and hide it so strictly, no wonder Li Ji is so uncomfortable after getting the details.
In the coldest January and February, as the main force of the Fujian army, the left and right guards, the left and right guards were waiting painstakingly in the icy and snowy mountains, for fear of exposing the target, often did not dare to ignite, the whole army was crowded in a small tent and relied on cotton coats and body temperature to warm each other, and many soldiers and soldiers froze their fingers in the cold night.
And Li Jie himself was not easy, after getting the exact news that Belus had taken the bait, he only took a thousand horsemen to cross the snowy Hindu Kush mountain road horizontally, gathered several main armies, and guessed countless possibilities for the results of the Guanning iron cavalry in Guannei, so he planned the three routes that the nomadic army was most likely to escape.
At the beginning of the war, the heavy infantry of the Fujian army hurriedly entered, and the formation was unstable and it was not pretended, but I didn't expect Belus to flee so quickly, and several armies really just rushed over from other places.
Fortunately, the power of gunpowder was shocking enough that all Li Jie's plans were implemented.
The massacre lasted for half an hour, and the red-eyed Min army withdrew its sword and allowed the steppe wolves to surrender.
It's not that pity arises, but there are too many war horses crowded together, and they really can't stab the people inside.
drove away the extended war horses, and under the reprimand of the Fujian army, the grassland athletes who regarded the farming people as sheep and prey came out of the killing field with their heads covered and horses in fear.
Holding his hands on his head, the proud bow and arrow were thrown aside like a plague, and as soon as he came out, the cavalry of any tribe was directly taken down, and he was briefly tied with a thick rope, and he was kicked aside by the Min army like a sheep, and after a while, a large number of them were accumulated.
The behavior of the nomadic army was exactly the same as that of the slaves plundered from the Min State, and the Fujian people were beaten with guns one by one, and obediently crouched in a circle.
He was thrust to the ground with a thud, and Belus grinned.
He was lucky enough to lead the charge to be crowded behind by the frenzied nomadic cavalry, dodging a devastating minefield, and fleeing one step ahead of the crowd and being stuffed into the middle of the congested army.
However, at this time, he wished that he would simply be killed by stepping into the minefield, and when he looked up slightly, he saw Li Jie, who was wearing full armor on the military tent, looking at him majestically, as if a mountain was pressing on his head, cold sweat flowed, and Belus lowered his head to the ground again.
I really wanted to show some toughness, but unfortunately my legs were too weak, and my hands were trembling and I couldn't use any strength, and I lay on the ground and Belus was stunned for a long time without holding back a word.
Li Jie stood up on the back of his chair, paced around in a circle with his cowhide boots, and then suddenly lowered his body, grabbed Belus's collar like an eagle, and dragged him up from the ground.
"Don't you have the audacity to betray Lone? Why don't you even have the courage to face loneliness now? With his head on Belus's head and his eyes widened, Li Jie roared angrily.
For this Sassanid remnant, Li Jie asked himself very interestingly, not only helped them establish a semi-self-determined country, but also gave Belus, a down-and-out person, a heavy responsibility, to defend the city of Jiling in Central Asia, and almost all the important places in Afghanistan were entrusted to him, but he didn't expect that when he had an accident, the first person to take out a knife and stab himself was this white-eyed wolf!
Frightened to the extreme, staring at Li Jie's blood-red eyes, squeaked and whined for a long time, Belus didn't hold back a complete sentence, looking at his cowardly appearance, but Li Jie also lost the ability to continue the interrogation*, throwing garbage and throwing Belus aside, immediately clapped his hands, and after a while, holding a pair of Fujian armor, Zanpo strode in heavily.
The armor was casually thrown in front of Belus, and Li Jie hummed without the slightest emotion: "There is a horse outside, give you half an hour to escape, and after half an hour, Lone will order to chase and kill, and if you die, you won't be able to complain about Lone."
Looking at the armor on the ground, Belus raised his head in disbelief
