Chapter 144

At this time, if someone tells him to calm down again, then Baili Wuji will presumably cut off his head with a knife to make him completely calm, so calm that he can't be calm.

Baili Wuji quickly ordered the guards to wave the flag, take back the command of Bailikang, and then ordered the eight artillery pieces to shoot unlimitedly, Baili Wuji knew that in this vast cavalry tide, the eight artillery pieces were just to stir up a few splashes, but what Baili Wuji wanted was to shoot from the same position, cut off the cavalry tide, and let the cannonballs explode in the cavalry formation to plow a gap horizontally.

At the same time, the cavalry on both sides was ordered to quickly flank the opposing cavalry in the middle.

At this time, Baili Wuji no longer thinks about retaining his strength, let alone reserving his strength for Guo Wei, at this time, Baili Wuji only has anger in his heart, the anger that destroys everything.

For a moment, the rumble of artillery overshadowed all the sounds on the battlefield.

The lethality of this kind of artillery in field battles is indeed not great, but its deterrent power is invincible.

As long as the horses passing by the explosion of the shells were frightened and frenzied, they either scattered and fled or people stood up. This not only prevented the parties from continuing the attack, but also affected the attack of the surrounding cavalry.

This made the follow-up cavalry offensive of the Zhou army one of the problems.

At this time, the 12,000 cavalry of the special warfare army, like two arrow tips, quickly attacked the cavalry phalanx of the Zhou army in the middle.

Guo Wei was stunned, the loud sound of the cannon shook Guo Wei's cranial nerves, he couldn't believe that this firearm could attack several miles away and cause so much damage.

This hit Guo Wei's self-confidence too much, but Guo Wei still believes in it. The firearms of the Chu army had fatal shortcomings, at least, in front of the cavalry of the brigade. The musketeers were still defeated.

But Guo Wei also knew that this was the price he paid for the cavalry of the three phalanxes, and this price was too tragic.

Guo Wei was still scared after all, the 30,000 cavalry lost half of the battle, if this continues to fight, it will be a victory or a miserable victory, once the cavalry is gone. Does this Central Plains still have its own share?

Although there are still 20,000 infantry around, let these 20,000 infantry rush into the cavalry of the battle, except for the word death. Is there a better and more accurate word to describe it?

When Guo Wei saw the cavalry of the Chu army began to attack in the middle, Guo Wei quickly sobered up, this battle could not be fought like this again, and he could not watch his foundation be destroyed like this. So immediately ordered the remaining three cavalry phalanxes to retreat. Ordered 20,000 infantry to quickly advance with spears and cover the retreat of the cavalry.

At this time, the retreat of the third cavalry phalanx that had rushed forward had been cut off by the cavalry of the special combat army, and what was even more terrifying was that the panic of the musketeers began to subside, and the platoon guns began to shoot, and at this time, the cavalry of the special operations army had been closed, and the cavalry of the thousands of Zhou troops had become a turtle in the urn. And there is no escape.

After only two rounds of volleys of guns, the cavalry of the encircled third-party array could no longer stand the pressure in their hearts. Surrendered.

Guo Wei witnessed the elite of his cavalry, and surrendered to the Chu army in front of him during his own expedition.

The blow to the heart was enormous.

At this time, Baili Wuji also calmed down, looking at this devastation, which was very different from what he had planned, and couldn't help but be gloomy.

After ordering all the troops to clean up the battlefield, Baili Wuji withdrew to the city of Xuzhou.

After counting, nearly 2,000 of the 9,000 musketeers were killed or wounded, and most of the wounded were crippled and seriously wounded.

The cavalry also suffered nearly two thousand casualties.

The casualties of the Zhou army were even more tragic, with nearly 8,000 cavalry casualties, nearly 4,000 cavalry captured, and more than 11,000 horses captured.

The two sides are exhausted, but they are still facing each other.

Although Guo Wei didn't want to fight anymore, he was unwilling to suffer such a dumb loss, not to mention that the Chu army had already invaded the Zhou State, and if he wanted to retreat at this time, wasn't he waiting to be destroyed?

Guo Wei can only pray for good news from the Shu State now, maybe his adopted son can save the decline.

And Baili Wuji was writing a letter at this time, and he didn't want to fight anymore, today's battle damage was really unacceptable, and it was far beyond Baili Wuji's bottom line.

The most terrible thing was that under the charge of 25,000 cavalry, the line of musketeers was broken through.

And this is still with artillery and cavalry cover.

Baili Wuji is worried, if this is faced with the charge of 50,000 or even 100,000 cavalry of the Khitans, how many musketeers will be needed to withstand it?

Therefore, Baili Wuji decided to give up some things, but also to stop this war in order to make improvements, and Baili Wuji was ready to talk about Guo Wei and make peace.

Baili Wuji wrote a secret letter and sent someone to send it to the Zhou army camp.

……。

Guo Rong and Wang Jing never thought that this cowardly Shu army would become so crazy.

It has been the eleventh time to repel the attack of the Shu army, these Shu troops are so crazy that they are not afraid of death, and rush to the city wall one after another, if it is not for the tall and strong Chengdu city wall, presumably the 50,000 Zhou troops in the city will not be able to resist such a crazy attack.

Guo Rong sighed and said, if he encounters such a Shu army when he attacks Shu, it will be difficult to recover the four states of Cheng, Jie, Feng and Qin.

Wang Jing nodded when he heard this.

What worries Guo Rong the most is that the hundreds of thousands of captured Shu troops in Chengdu have already shown signs of riots, although they were bloodied by Guo Rong and Wang Jing once, and hundreds of heads were beheaded, but they could not suppress the recurrence of riots.

Guo Rong was also worried about the Chu army stationed at the south gate outside the city, which had not moved at all for the past two days.

Guo Rong knew that the Chu army could never be afraid of not attacking, he was too familiar with this situation, it was obvious that the commander of the Chu army would use the lives of the soldiers of the Shu army to exhaust the Zhou army, and when the Zhou army was exhausted, the Chu army would definitely give the Zhou army a ferocious last blow. Guo Rong could see the tragic scene of the Zhou army being attacked, and at that time, maybe before the Chu army entered the city, 50,000 Zhou troops would also be torn to pieces by the Shu army captured in the city.

Guo Wei didn't understand how it had evolved into what it was now after destroying Shu so smoothly.

It's all that damn Baili Wuji, Guo Wei cursed in his heart.

Chengdu City can't hold it, internal and external troubles, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible.

Guo Rong and Wang Jing agreed on their opinions, and that night, they ordered them to retreat north with the looted money and treasures in Chengdu.

When the sun rose the next day, when the Chu and Shu armies outside the west and south gates joined forces to attack the city, they found that Chengdu was already an undefended city.

So, after leaving the three thousand black flag army to maintain law and order in Chengdu Mansion, Yun Yang unified the command of the three-way army, although Han Jixun was a little resistant, but finally obeyed Yun Yang's leadership, because Han Jixun knew that this is the Black Flag Army, the descendant of the King of Chu, and his future still needs to rely on the King of Chu, no matter how stupid people are, the current situation of Shu State, the edict of Baili Wuji as the prison country comes from Meng Chang, and Han Jixun can only obey in public and private.

After that, Yun Yang ordered a northward pursuit. (To be continued......)
