"They're coming!"

On the artillery position halfway up the mountain, Lin Shaodong pointed to the army under the mountain and whispered to Xu Rui.

The generals and Xu Rui looked down and saw at least seven or eight thousand enemies crowded in the small valley in a chaotic manner, they were easily recognizable by lighting torches in the night, and they were simply live targets for artillery.

"How did they stop here? Isn't there a backhand? ”

Xu Rui frowned and asked cautiously.

Lin Shaodong said with a smile: "The marshal is too worried, they were attracted by General Zhang Zuofeng's small force, but as soon as they entered the valley, General Zhang's men and horses were picked up by General Cao from the path, and they couldn't find anyone, so they would naturally make a little reconnaissance." ”

"Is that so?"

Xu Rui frowned and said suspiciously: "The army stopped in the valley at night, and there was no division of troops at the exits at both ends, once it was raided, it would be a dilemma, and we could only sit and wait for the whole army to be annihilated. ”

Lin Shaodong said with a smile: "It's because the marshal is too demanding, how can there be so many famous generals in the world, the leader of the troops was a gentleman of the Cui family three months ago, if he really doesn't make a mistake, I'm afraid it's surprising." ”

Hearing this, Xu Rui was finally relieved, he had just fought with such a cunning and fierce wolf-like force as the Wuling army, which made his thinking difficult to relax for a while, and when he saw such an obvious flaw, he immediately thought of the possibility of fraud.

"That's true, let's give the order to attack."

Xu Rui nodded.

"Subordinates obey!"

Zhang Zuofeng agreed, and immediately happily gave the order.

It's no wonder that he is in such a comfortable mood, in the past few months, every battle has been doing his best, and he has been frantically testing on the verge of annihilation of the whole army.

"Pass the commander's military order, fire!"

In just a few words, it quietly spread on the position in the night, and dozens of artillery pieces were loaded and bolted in unison.

"Boom!!"

A few seconds later, countless tongues of fire suddenly erupted from the mountainside, and the terrifying sound of cannons shook the heavens and the earth, and then the army of the valley exploded, and fireworks like heavenly thunder rose into the air, as if an incomprehensible Netherworld beast suddenly appeared around him to choose people and devour people.

Not only that, the pre-buried oil was ignited by the cannonballs, and in an instant the entire valley turned into a sea of fire, and the screams, wails, and cries for help converged into a gruesome symphony, like hell on earth.

In fact, Xu Rui's artillery is not much, and its power cannot be compared with all kinds of cannons in another world.

For example, in World War I, Xu Rui still has a long way to go to achieve this scale in an artillery battle between the two sides before launching a charge, which can knock out two million shells and blow up a meter of dust in the middle ground.

In terms of field warfare, the biggest role of Xu Rui's current artillery is to disrupt the opponent's formation and crush the enemy's will to fight, unless there is a very good opportunity, it is very difficult to rely on an artillery battle of this scale to directly inflict heavy damage on the enemy's main force.

Even in the valley battle with the Wuling pro-army not long ago, Xu Rui endured until the Black Flag Army and the Silent Annihilation Army joined forces, and abandoned the fortifications that could effectively resist artillery, and gathered together densely, and only dared to order fire when he was ready to give it a go, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve a result that would be enough to reverse the outcome of the war.

But even so, in the face of the sudden catastrophe, the generals of the Wuling pro-army quickly adjusted and successfully withdrew the remaining main force into the rear position, which shows the limitations of the current artillery.

In contrast, this shelling was at night, neither the preparation time nor the firing horizon could be compared with the battle of the valley, plus the enemy was not attritional, nor was he entangled by the army, he was more flexible, and as long as he commanded properly, there was a great chance of withdrawing from the battlefield.

If the army below had the qualities and commanders of the Wuling pro-army, and could decisively lead the army out of the valley at the first moment of the shelling, then their casualties should not be too great, at least not completely annihilated.

It's a pity that there is only one branch in the world of Wuling's pro-army, and it can't be reproduced.

At the first moment of the shelling, the commander of the army was the most panicked, not only did not make efforts to gather the troops, but left the whole army to retreat alone, making the already chaotic army even more chaotic and collapsing almost instantly.

When a disciplined army degenerates into a mass of sand, it becomes as uncontrollable as a sudden flash flood, and the soldiers scurry in terror, scrambling to seize the only escape route, only to cause congestion until they are trampled.

What is even more unimaginable is that the enemy generals not only abandoned their troops, but also constantly drew their swords to cut and kill the soldiers blocking the front in order to escape for their lives.

In a time of panic and a collapse of authority, the enemy general's move immediately provoked a backlash from the soldiers, who became even more uncontrollable when they raised their swords and fired back.

In the end, the red-eyed soldiers even "fearlessly" fought a fierce infighting against the artillery fire, but the result of the infighting was that more shells were blown into minced meat.

This scene really stunned the soldiers of the Apocalypse, except for the soldiers in charge of the shelling, no matter the generals, as long as they saw this scene halfway up the mountain, they all opened their mouths wide.

"I suddenly remembered that the first time I fired a cannon, we seemed to be in a mess."

"Nonsense, no matter how messy it is, you can still cut your own people?"

"Tut-tut, don't put gold on your face, people dare to fight against shelling, do you dare?"

“……”

The whispers of the soldiers reached Xu Rui's ears, and he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's not easy to fight such a battle, now I really want to meet the enemy commander, I hope he won't die." ”

Lin Shaodong said with a smile: "Don't worry, General Cao has already taken the chariot troops to Zha Kouzi, it seems that this battle will not last long, and his subordinates will order it to go down, but don't let that guy finally save a dog's life, but he was slaughtered by his brothers." ”

His words immediately made a cadre of soldiers around him laugh, obviously it was the most tense time of the battle, but everyone's face looked very calm, compared to a few months ago, these people have indeed grown a lot after being tempered by blood and fire.

Maybe they will be the northern country in the future, no, it should be the greatest confidence for themselves to gain a foothold in the world.

Give me three more years, and then what will it be like to fight with the Wuling pro-army?

Xu Rui pondered carefully in his heart, and couldn't help but have some expectations.

The battle was really as Lin Shaodong said, it only lasted a short meal and ended quietly, and under the extreme chaos and collapse, the artillery achieved unimaginable results, and only a small number of soldiers escaped from the rear of the valley.

However, what awaited them was a dense network of hundreds of Apocalypse Chariots, and without even a single decent resistance, all the enemy forces surrendered.

The first battle of Tianqiwei back to Xichuan ended hastily, and after the battle, Tianqiwei, who was less than 400 people, annihilated the enemy's army of more than 11,000 people without a single soldier, and this kind of achievement is worthy of pride even if it is put in the Wuling army.

After the war, Xu Rui finally met the enemy commander, and when this kid in his early twenties was sent to Xu Rui with a lot of flowers, Xu Rui sighed sincerely.

This person is really a little too young, if he wants to lead 10,000 horses at his age, if he is not born in a general's house, he is talented, which is really enviable, I don't know which one this guy occupies?

It's just that when he thinks about it, he seems to forget that he is only eighteen years old this year.

No matter how well the young man in front of him fought, at least he had one ability that everyone was amazed by, and that was the kung fu of escaping.

It is not something that ordinary people can do to save their lives under the double blow of artillery and the Apocalypse Chariot, and the nearly 7,000 unjust souls in the valley are proof of this, God knows what he has experienced when he can stand in front of Xu Rui completely.

What Xu Rui didn't expect was that when this person saw Xu Rui, he seemed to be a ghost, knelt down with weak legs, and said tremblingly: "Xu ...... Composed...... Cui Lingchen, a grass citizen, has seen Lord Qincha. ”

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, and said unexpectedly: "You know me?" ”

Cui Lingchen nodded and said, "When the adults first arrived in Xichuan, the grass people saw you once in the crowd, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon." ”

Xu Rui suddenly smiled and said: "Yes, Ben Shuai didn't expect to come back so soon, everything is okay in Xichuan?" ”
