Chapter 837: The Power of Bronze Artillery

Knock, knock, knock!

Hundreds of two-person cowhide drums vibrate, and the dull sound of drums echoes throughout the battlefield.

Millions of soldiers and horses, all of them were solemn and slaughtered.

The heavily armored foot soldier in the front row clenched his weapon tightly in his right hand.

They charged ahead, and most likely died.

The great battles that decided the northern part of the Han Empire could have suffered heavy casualties.

Even the war horses, as if aware of the possibility of a terrible battle, gasped uneasily.

A phalanx of 10,000 people is arranged, and every few or more than a dozen 10,000 people phalanx form a larger phalanx.

At least dozens of famous generals and thousands of ordinary generals participated in the war, and more than one million war horses were used.

Chu Tian watched the entire battlefield from a high place, and the number of 10,000 people in the phalanx was as high as nearly a hundred.

With 10,000 people as a small unit, not many civilizations have such a population.

And this was only a great war within the Han Empire.

"If you are defeated, retreat to Youzhou and recuperate in the hope of making a comeback. We have a large territory and population, as long as we hold Youzhou, again and again, sooner or later, we will win. ”

Before the decisive battle began, Chu Tian had already left a way out for himself.

Even if he is defeated, Chu Tian still has a size advantage, so he will not break his muscles and bones, and he will soon be able to make a comeback.

Therefore, Chu Tian could give it a go.

Mingguan can't afford to lose.

Without Liaoxi, with Liaodong alone, there is no way to make a comeback.

Unless the Central Plains is in turmoil, the overlord of Liaodong can enter the customs.

The pressure on the two is not the same.

Cao Cao commanded his troops and horses and marched to Murong Xianbei's cavalry.

The tiger and leopard cavalry was stubborn, and a small group of low-level cavalry, under the leadership of Cao Xiu, went to test the Murong cavalry.

"Today's wind seems to be a bit noisy."

Cao Cao didn't know the direction of his attack before deploying the red-coated cannon.

The red-coated cannon, which weighed thousands of pounds, was difficult to move and was fixed in a position by the Ming army.

"Father, you seem to be a little unsettled."

Cao Ang followed Cao Cao into battle, and found that Cao Cao was restless and couldn't help but wonder.

"This battle is quite dangerous, you stay in the camp of the legion, otherwise, your life will be in danger."

Cao Cao seemed to realize that Cao Ang was an unlucky person, and if Cao Ang was allowed to rush to the front, and the other party was Murong Ba and Murong Ke, then Cao Ang might be killed by Murong Xianbei's cavalry.

On the opposite side of Cao Cao, in addition to the red-clothed cannons, there were also two elite heavy cavalry of Murong Ba and Murong Ke.

Longcheng Iron Rider is fully equipped, holding a sharp horse lance, a tall horse, a Xianbei pattern, brave and good at fighting.

Their main general, Murong Ba, personally held a horse lance and realized that this great battle was related to the status of the Xianbei tribe.

If they lose, the Murong tribe will be at the disposal of the Chutian tribe, and most of the Murong Ba people will lose power.

Murong Ke's Serial Iron Horse Legion was on the side of the Dragon City Iron Cavalry, on an equal footing with the Dragon City Iron Cavalry.

Murong Ke's military talent may be slightly better than Murong Ba.

The armor of the chain iron horse is heavier than that of the Dragon City Iron Horse, and the war horse is almost covered by cold iron armor. Between the war horses, there is also the chain of iron cables.

The Iron Horse almost lost its speed in pursuit of defense.

The tiger and leopard cavalry wanted to break Murong Ke's chain of iron horses, but it was impossible.

Serial iron horses, close to the cavalry with the highest defensive power in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard rode to go, and Murong Ke's chain iron horse couldn't catch up.

"In a battle of millions of soldiers and horses, the tiger and leopard rider has nowhere to escape, and the strongest shield and the sharpest spear will defeat the tiger and leopard rider."

Murong Ke was also a little dissatisfied with the tiger and leopard ride.

In the melee of millions of soldiers and horses, the destructive power caused by the chain of iron horses can be imagined, and there is no superfluous maneuver on the battlefield.

Knock, knock!!

The sound of the war drums suddenly became urgent, urging the legions to attack the opposite position.

The piercing friction between the blade and the scabbard sounded, Cao Cao pulled out the sword at his waist, and Cao Chun and Cao Xiu, the generals of the Tiger and Leopard Legion, followed Cao Cao into battle.

Xiahou Yuan and Xiahoudun were transferred by Chutian to the Tiger and Leopard Legion, responsible for protecting Cao Cao's safety and strengthening the ability of the Tiger and Leopard Rider to break the formation.

"It's not going to be an easy battle."

Xiahou Yuan has fought against Murong Ba, has been defeated many times, and is afraid of Murong Ba.

Columns of tigers and leopards were riding towards Murong Xianbei's cavalry.

"Order the whole army, whoever kills Murong Ba and Murong Ke will be rewarded with three hundred taels of gold!"

In order to motivate the Haw Par Army, Cao Cao did not hesitate to invest a lot.

These three hundred taels of gold are not contributed by Chu Tian, but by Cao Cao's private investment, and it is necessary to try to get rid of the two powerful opponents Murong Ba and Murong Ke, so that Cao Cao can obtain military merits and continue to climb up.

Cao Cao's family is still very strong, and Cao Song owns a lot of houses and manors in Xia City, so Cao Cao can really come up with six hundred taels of gold.

Six hundred taels of gold, which can get rid of the two strong enemies of Murong Ba and Murong Ke, is very cost-effective for Cao Cao.

"Kill Cao Cao, reward 30,000 cattle and sheep!"

Murong Ba also had a headache for Cao Cao, hoping that someone in the tribe could kill Cao Cao.

30,000 cattle and sheep, Murong Ba thinks it's completely worth it.

The Xia army, the Ming army, millions of soldiers and horses are pressing step by step, the sword is tense, and the war is about to break out!

"Let me go and storm the enemy army and see if I have a chance!"

Cao Chun volunteered to command a team of tigers and leopards to test the Murong cavalry.

Cao Chun's expression was even heavier than Cao Cao's.

Cao Cao is a hero who can still wave in adversity, and he can't be afraid.

Cao Chun knew that the Murong Xianbei tribe had two elite high-level heavy cavalry, which were not inferior to the tiger and leopard cavalry.

The Dragon City Iron Cavalry and the Serial Iron Horse all belong to the mounted cavalry of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, armed to the teeth, and they can't wait to turn themselves into an iron man.

The tiger and leopard ride don't nibble on this group of tin cans.

Cao Chun held a spear and led eight hundred tigers and leopards to ride, and took the initiative to test Murong Ba's Dragon City Iron Cavalry.

"Father, the child is willing to go and defeat him!"

Murong Lin saw that hundreds of tiger and leopard horsemen were trying to attack the legions of the Murong tribe, so he asked Murong Ba for his life.

"Kill the enemy, and the head will come back to me."

"Yes!"

Murong Lin led a team of Longcheng Iron Cavalry to meet the tiger and leopard cavalry commanded by Cao Chun.

Two elite cavalry will once again break out in a fateful duel!

In order to deal with Murong Ba's heavy cavalry, the tiger and leopard cavalry also replaced the heavier heavy armor, and at the same time, the Chutian forces produced horse lances very early. Therefore, the equipment of the tiger and leopard cavalry is almost the same as that of the mounted cavalry of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The iron hooves were vertical and horizontal, the horse lance collided with the iron armor, Cao Chun stabbed out a shot with all his strength, the spear was almost pasted against Murong Lin's helmet, and when it rubbed against the armor, Murong Lin's ears rang because of the impact from the helmet.

He was almost killed by Cao Chun.

"Are we going to use the red-coated cannon to defeat the tiger and leopard riders?"

Kong Youde was guarding the rare artillery position, and he could already see that hundreds of tiger and leopard cavalry were engaged with the Longcheng Iron Cavalry, and a group of iron cans collided.

"The main force of the Tiger and Par Cavalry has not yet been put into a big battle, and there is no need to use the Hongyi cannon. Even the main force of the Haw Par Cavalry may not let us use the Hongyi cannon. The two Murong brothers, their cavalry, but the iron can......"

Hong Chengchou did not use the red-coated cannon lightly.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, only the generals of the Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, as well as players who have a chance, such as cool in summer, may have a bonus to firearms.

On the battlefield of Liaoxi, the two armies braved each other's arrow rain to approach each other, hand-to-hand combat!

Heavy infantry in infantry armor were glued on one front, spears pierced each other, bleeding for hundreds of miles!

Tens of thousands of elite troops are in the fight!

The infantry of the Xia army was the backbone of the Shenji battalion, while the Ming army had the Eight Banners of the Han army, which was also equipped with firearms.

The white smoke filled the air, and in the ancient Han Empire, a small number of firearms had appeared, and at the same time, cold weapons were still popular.

The 5,000-strong Shenji battalion looked small on the entire battlefield.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses fought, millions of arrows rained the sky, and bursts of black rain fell.

Soon after the battle, the two sides suffered tens of thousands of casualties!

In order to replenish his troops, Chu Tian dispatched many low-level troops from the pass, and these soldiers were like moths to a fire and were involved in the big battle.

"Kill!"

The battle became more and more intense, Cao Cao raised his sword high, and commanded the main force of the tiger and leopard cavalry to kill the soldiers and horses of the Murong tribe on the opposite side!

"Cao Mengde, look for death!"

Murong Ba waved his horse lance, and the Dragon City Iron Cavalry began to trot and accelerate, launching an offensive!

Murong Ke's chain iron horse never moved.

Mingguan's attention to Murong Ke is even above the red-clothed cannon.

"Chain Iron Horse, once this high-level heavy cavalry launches a charge, its lethality is stronger than that of a red-coated cannon......"

Ming Guan was staring coldly at the grand battlefield, the sound of weapons colliding, the neighing of war horses, and the sound of war drums were mixed, echoing across the entire battlefield.

In troubled times, human life is like mustard.

"Before the chain of iron horse assault, first use the red-coated cannon to attract their attention, and order Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde to attack...... Cao Cao's Hawpanther Legion. ”

Mingguan ordered one after another.

Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry was about to meet Murong Ba's Longcheng iron cavalry, and Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde, who were protecting the red-coated artillery, received an order from Mingguan to use the red-coated artillery to attack the tiger and leopard cavalry.

"Although the tiger and leopard rider is also an elite, but defeating the tiger and leopard rider cannot determine the victory or defeat, why ......"

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but hesitate a little when he received the order.

Chutian's Praetorian Guard is the real main force, and Cao Cao is the partial division protecting the flank.

"Bombard the Tiger and Leopard Ride!"

Qing artillerymen reload black powder and a few solid shells.

Rumble!!

Rumble!!

The red-clothed cannon roared, and more than ten solid bullets fell into the charging tiger and leopard riders, killing the tiger and leopard riders who were hit in seconds!

Whether it is a war horse or a cavalry, if it is hit by a solid bullet, all the flesh and blood are blurred and shattered!

Solid bullets plow out a bloody path!

In the place where the solid bullets had been pllowed, there was a brief blank, and the surrounding tiger and leopard riders had not yet reacted to what had attacked them, and a few tiger and leopard riders had already turned into pieces!

With the loud bang and the white smoke of gunpowder, the lethality of the red-coated cannon was secondary, and the morale of the legion was shaken even more terrifying.

"Is this the power of the Red Cannon......"

Cao Cao was also shocked by the devastation caused by the red-coated cannons.

In the military formation of the Ming army, gunpowder smoke rose up, temporarily obscuring the vision.

Cao Cao could clearly feel that the offensive of the tiger and leopard cavalry was abrupt, and the morale had dropped.

"Defeat the Tiger and Par Rider!"

Murong Ba saw the power of the red-clothed cannon exert its power, and his heart trembled, and he was hit by the solid bullet of the red-clothed cannon, and he might also turn into a blood stain.

The Dragon City Iron Cavalry took advantage of the fact that the morale of the Tiger and Leopard Riders was hit, and the charging formation was also in turmoil, and engaged the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!

"Go and report to the lord, the red-coated cannon owned by the Ming army is deployed on the left flank."

Cao Cao thought it necessary to inform Chu Tian of the specific location of the red-coated cannon.

The red-coated artillery of the Qing army fired another salvo, dozens of solid bullets were thrown, and nearly a hundred tigers and leopards were harvested!

"Lord, Cao Cao reported that the red-clothed cannon of the Ming army appeared opposite the left army!"

"Sure enough, the morale of the tiger and leopard riders is declining......"

Chu Tian could see the change in the morale of the tiger and leopard riders through the legion panel.

[Legion]: Haw Par Legion (Custom)

[Main General]: Cao Cao

[Status]: Fear (Attack Power ↓ Formation Maintenance ↓)

[Average Grade]: 63

[Morale]: 75 (Shock: Morale drop speed +35%)

[Stamina]: 78

[Subordinate Troops]: Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Low-level Cavalry

Before the decisive battle of Liaoxi began, Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Legion had a high morale of around 93, but after the red-coated artillery bombardment and the battle with the Longcheng Iron Cavalry, the morale dropped to the current 75.

If this continues, the morale of the Tiger and Par Rider will soon fall below 50, which will not only not add a bonus, but will reduce the combat power.

"Firearms are demoralizing too quickly. Even a military general with the ability to restore morale will probably collapse under the bombardment of artillery. ”

Chu Tian could probably guess that the red-clothed cannon had its own negative effects such as "shock" and "fear".

Cao Cao's tiger and leopard ride was in trouble this time.

"Order Wei Qing to divide a cavalry to support Cao Cao. Monk Wanyan Chen, you command the loyal and filial piety army and the Heli army, and try to capture the place where the red-coated cannons are deployed on the opposite side. ”

Chu Tian really sent cavalry to attack the red-clothed artillery position preset at Mingguan.

Bronze artillery was a great blow to morale, and the redcoat cannons could not be allowed to demoralize the various legions.

"Even if the last general dies, he will complete the task of the main bus generation!"

Monk Wanyan Chen turned over and put on an iron hammer.

"Compared with the red-coated cannon, the loyal and filial army is more important, don't take risks."

Chu Tian was reluctant to use up Monk Yan Chen's loyal and filial piety army, Heli army and red-clothed cannon exchange.

"Harald, Bathory, be ready, too."

Catherine instructed her two subordinates to go down.

"In addition to the bronze artillery, Murong Ke's chain iron horse, it needs to be noted, it is said that when Cao Cao fought with him, Murong Ke never made a big move to use the chain iron horse, but only used it to protect the formation."

When Chu Tian was dealing with the Hongyi cannon set up by Ming Guan, he also noticed Murong Ke's chain of iron horses.

The battlefield is stalemate, and once the chain of iron horses charges, it is very difficult to avoid it.

"General, General Wei Qing has sent General Xue Wanche to help, asking us to focus on defense along the way, and pay close attention to the movements of Murong Ke's chain iron horse!"

"Did the lord say how to deal with the red-coated cannon?"

"The lord has sent a cavalry to attack the position where the red-coated cannons are located."
