Chapter 359: The Great War

Kill......"

The 30,000 forwards of the Xichuan army slaughtered towards the Xinxiang Valley, the pace was quite neat at the beginning, and it was already limited and disjointed halfway through the run, and in the last 100 meters, the team became sparse, like a bowl of overturned peas, sprinkled on the battlefield.

At this moment, a terrifying cannon sound came from the mountainside, and the tongue of fire was wrapped in thick smoke like a black cloud formed by the condensation of countless unjust souls, rising from the cannon port.

Immediately after that, the first shell fell on the charging ranks.

"Boom!!"

The huge explosion was deafening, flames erupted from the black smoke, instantly devouring all the life around it, and the heat wave of the heat instantly burned all the armor in the killing range into iron plates, and those soldiers wearing armor became teppanyaki with the smell of barbecue.

What was even more terrifying was that the intense burning consumed a large amount of oxygen in a very short time, and those soldiers who stood a little farther away and were not engulfed by the flames and heat waves were actually suffocated to death, and the death was extremely painful.

The Apocalypse did not use high-explosive charges, but the newly developed incendiary bombs, and concentrated its fire on the enemy who was charging the fastest.

The hundreds of people who ran the fastest were suddenly wiped out, while the latecomers witnessed the terrifying wall of fire rising several meters high in front of them, and their ears were filled with suffocating wails and screams.

However, the team at the front collapsed, but the team at the rear still rushed up with inertia, and the originally sparse space instantly tightened, until most of the people were huddled together, and they became a pot of porridge.

At this moment, a second round of shells roared from the sky with a desperate and terrifying roar and smashed on their heads.

"Boom !!"

Unlike the first round of incendiary bombs, the second round of shelling Apocalypse used a much more lethal high-explosive charge, which included metal fragments activated by the energy released at the moment of the explosion.

Designed to deal with infantry, each shell contained hundreds of irregular pieces of metal the size of a fingernail, which were semi-dissolved by the heat and then thrown out with great force by the shock wave, each small fragment turning into a terrifying scythe of death.

In an instant, a piece of soldiers fell to the ground with a wail, and disappeared from the world, and at the same time, the courage and will of the Xichuan army disappeared.

The Nishikawa army was originally cobbled together in a short period of time, and it was easy to collapse if the war was unfavorable, not to mention that they were suffering from new weapons that they had never seen before.

In just one pillar of incense, the forward army of 30,000 people completely collapsed, and the soldiers were all black, panicked and scurried around, and some even cried as they ran, not knowing which direction they would rush towards.

They were like the pathogens of the plague, spreading their fears to all corners, causing the slowest to rush and barely affected by the shelling.

30,000 against hundreds, a battle that should have been like chopping melons and vegetables only began a moment later, and then became an embarrassing rout.

There was already a sense of unease among the army that had not yet gone into battle, and the soldiers were in a commotion, and even the officers were frightened by the terrible scenes on the battlefield, and they did not care to calm the increasingly nervous soldiers.

On the handsome stage, the heads of the families who came to watch the battle turned pale one by one, and Cui Huanchen's face after the handsome case was even more pale.

Although Xu Rui's artillery is no secret to the top of Xichuan, in the era of cold weapons, artillery is definitely beyond common sense, and it is extremely difficult for people who have not seen the power of artillery to imagine how terrifying it will be.

Originally, according to Cui Huanchen's plan, today should have been the time for the Cui family to show their might and suppress the floating people's hearts in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect Xu Rui to slap him in the face with artillery.

Cui Huanchen's gloomy gaze swept over everyone, and the heads of the families he saw subconsciously lowered their heads, but despite this, Cui Huanchen could still peek into their true hearts from under those seemingly deferential appearances.

Except for a few people who are determined to follow the Cui family who are really worried, the other family heads are not only shocked in their hearts, but also mercilessly ridiculed, they want to see the Cui family fall, and they want to grab greater benefits from the Cui family's corpse.

Cui Huanchen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly calmed down, he has lived for nearly a hundred years, and he has been in charge of the Cui family's towering tree for more than fifty years, and he has long been used to seeing big scenes.

Although everything in front of him was somewhat unexpected, it was far from enough to break his will, not to mention that he still had a killer weapon.

"Tell Dong'er that it's time to start!"

Cui Huanchen whispered to the old housekeeper standing behind him, the old housekeeper nodded, and glanced at a few cronies, and no one noticed that the few Cui family Xiaosi standing on the outermost outermost part of the handsome platform disappeared into the crowd.

Just half a moment later, a large number of heavily armed soldiers surrounded Shuaitai.

The heads of the family looked back, and saw that these soldiers had sharp eyes and murderous spirits, obviously they were all outlaws, different from the tattered army composed of those homeless, this was the real elite of the Cui family.

At this time, the elite was sent to surround Shuaitai, did the Cui family really want to take the initiative against all the families?

The faces of the people present suddenly changed greatly, and they all looked at Cui Huanchen behind the handsome case, and at this moment their life and death were already in the hands of this dying old man.

However, Cui Huanchen didn't look at anyone, and said lightly: "Order the Chinese army to help the forward battalion gather the rout, and the left and right flanks continue to attack the mountain!" ”

When the herald general heard that he was going to continue the attack with such a terrifying artillery, his face suddenly became very ugly, but he spoke softly, how could he dare to contradict Cui Huanchen at this time, so he had to quickly take the order, turn around and rush down the platform, and give the order as soon as possible.

The people present did not see Cui Huanchen ordering the slaughter, and they were slightly relieved, but their hearts were still in the air.

On the battlefield ahead, Zheng Yichen's army had been dragging at the back of the line when charging, but he didn't experience the power of artillery at close range, but the soldiers were frightened and ran around, most of the army ran away, and only two or three thousand people were still around him.

"Big brother, it is impossible for the Cui family to win this battle, make up your mind, it's still too late."

Zheng Yinan avoided the crowd and whispered to persuade Zheng Yichen.

Zheng Yichen shook his head expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter if you win or lose, what you should think about now is how to protect the Zheng family, have you thought about it, the entire Zheng family is under the control of the Cui family, if I really surrender to the enemy, what will the family do?" ”

Zheng Yinan said angrily: "When the resources in our hands are exhausted, do you think the Cui family will let the Zheng family go?" ”

Zheng Yichen shook his head: "Whatever you say, remember, the Zheng family is still my master now, as long as I am alive, I will not betray again, I, Zheng Yichen, am not a natural traitor, everything is for the sake of the family!" ”

"Don't say it so high-soundingly, you're just afraid of the Cui family, and you just want to be a dog of the Cui family!"

As soon as the words fell, a hideous look flashed in Zheng Yinan's eyes, and he suddenly pulled out his waist knife and slashed at Zheng Yichen's head, this knife was fast and accurate, and went straight to the point, obviously premeditated for a long time.

At this time, Zheng Yichen had just taken off his armor, and his waist knife was also taken away by his own soldiers, and it was the time when he was unarmed and had the weakest defense.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly understood: "Yi Nan, you have already arranged everything, and you are planning to kill me, right?" ”

Zheng Yinan shouted: "Yes!" The whole reason I'm approaching you is to kill you with my own hands, go die! ”
