Chapter 240: Heavy casualties

Outside the Northern Liyuan, Sang Kang led a coalition of 130,000 tribes, driving 100,000 Han people to enslave them, and appeared in the wilderness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

100,000 Han people rushed to the front of the team in rags, and behind the Han team, there were tens of thousands of Dayue soldiers, holding bows and crossbows to aim and drive away, shouting and scolding all the way to press them forward.

At the same time, the 10,000 crossbowmen were followed by 5,000 light cavalry, all dressed in light armor and carrying crossbows and long knives.

Behind the 5,000 cavalry, there were 50,000 Dayue infantry wearing black armor, all of whom were armed with swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and their expressions were extremely fierce, presumably they should be the elite of Dayue's tribe.

At the same time, in the middle of the army, thousands of escort warriors wearing silver armor appeared, and these thousands of Dayue warriors, guarding a gorgeous and thick carriage in the ranks, quickly drove forward.

The ornate carriage resembled a small moving castle, dragged forward by eight horses.

As for the 1,000 Iron Bull Heavy Cavalry and the 100 Giant Elephant Cavalry, thousands of silver-armored warriors were protected one after the other, forming an iron bucket-like protective formation to protect the Great Yue King Sang Kang sitting in the gorgeous carriage from any enemy attack and interference.

At the back of the army was a logistics baggage team composed of 60,000 Da Yue soldiers wearing leather armor.

This team escorted countless grains and grasses, and slowly followed the elite men and horses in front of them, moving forward steadily.

Soon, the 100,000 Han pioneers in front of the team arrived at the edge of the North Liyuan, but at this time, several scouts who had explored the way in advance had already rushed into the lychee forest full of mines on horseback.

When they had just rushed into the lychee forest and had not yet run dozens of meters, suddenly, a change occurred!

Rumble!!

In the silent lychee forest, there was a loud noise suddenly.

As they ran, the scouts triggered several mines buried in the ground, and on the spot, on the ground, there was no anomaly on the ground, and the earth flew violently, and the fire exploded.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

After several loud bangs in succession, the scouts were blown up on their backs, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.

In the distance, the large group of people who followed closely behind were all taken aback, and looked up at the woods in front of them.

I saw that the scouts who rushed into the woods in advance were lying on the ground covered in blood, screaming and wailing.

In particular, the war horses under their crotches were even more fragmented by steel balls sputtered by mines, and they were riddled with holes and blood.

All of a sudden, the neighing of the wounded war horse was mixed with the wails of several scouts, resounding throughout the entire North Liyuan.

Seeing this scene, a Dayue general who was in charge of opening the way in the vanguard, under the drastic change in his face, immediately reined in his mount and shouted loudly: "There is an ambush ahead, everyone obey the order and stop advancing!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all of a sudden, the 100,000 Han pioneers who rushed in front of the team stopped their steps with nervous expressions.

At this time, the Dayue general immediately rode his horse back, quickly came to the gorgeous carriage, and reported loudly: "King, there is an ambush in the North Liyuan, and those Han dogs from Yangzhou City have planted mysterious firearms in the Lychee Forest, and they will explode if they touch it!" ”

Inside the carriage, there was silence.

There was silence for a moment, and suddenly, a cold and grim voice slowly came out of the carriage. "Hmph, carving insect skills, trying to block the advance of this king's army is a fool's dream! Buck, drive all those slaves into the lychee forest now, and let them break the firearms buried in the forest! ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Buck bowed and saluted, then rode back to the front of the line again.

In front of the line, 100,000 Han people crowded on the edge of the lychee forest, all of them pale, for fear that if they took any further step, they would end up as bloody as those scouts.

When General Nabak returned from riding his horse, suddenly, he waved his big hand and shouted: "Calm the frightened horses, plug their ears, and move on!" ”

In an instant, the scene was boiling and panicked.

Tens of thousands of Dayue soldiers coldly raised the sharp blades in their hands and drove them away mercilessly.

Under the drive of those Dayue people, the 100,000 Han people in front of the team could only bite the bullet, grit their teeth and take steps, and continue to move forward.

For a time, 100,000 Han people were enslaved, like a tide, and they poured into the lychee forest full of mines.

Sure enough, the thousands of Han people enslaved in front of them had just entered the woods not far away, and in an instant, an incomparably bloody and tragic scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Rumble!!

In the lychee forest, the fire rose to the sky, and the loud noises continued one after another.

Within a few moments of these Han enslavements pouring into the woods, hundreds of mines were set off in the ground.

In an instant, within a radius of several thousand meters, hundreds of mines exploded at the same time, and the scene was like flowers blooming everywhere, throwing dirt and flesh flying.

Mines weighing four kilograms suddenly bounced high in the crowd and then exploded violently.

Shrapnel flew and steel balls shot everywhere.

Hundreds of mines exploded at the same time, what a terrible scene!

On the spot, hundreds of people were blown up by the powerful shock wave generated by the explosion of the mine, flying in the air and falling in all directions.

Basically, all the Han people who entered the woods were shrouded in the **** steel ball shrapnel in the sky.

All of a sudden, everyone was injured and fell to the ground, and the shotgun bombs splashed by the mines all over their bodies were full of bloody blood holes.

In just the blink of an eye, thousands of Han people who entered the woods were enslaved, and half of them were killed and wounded, leaving the Han people who had escaped by chance, all of them were paralyzed on the ground in fright, and they didn't dare to move at all.

The Han people who followed closely behind, seeing that the thousands of compatriots who had entered the woods first had been killed and injured in such a tragic situation, they were suddenly terrified one by one, trembling all over their bodies, and they did not dare to continue to move forward at all.

"Get up and move on!"

A cold light flashed in Buck's eyes, and he shouted angrily, "No one is allowed to retreat, only forward!" ”

Under the oppression of a group of fierce Dayue soldiers, the Han people who stayed on the outskirts of the woods had to rush towards the woods in fear.

Soon, the 100,000 Han people at the front of the line were enslaved, and they came to the front crying and wailing, and poured into the lychee forest like a tide.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ……

The earth-shattering loud noise, like dense firecrackers, exploded in the crowd one after another.

This time, due to the large number of people entering the minefield, they completely triggered the mines buried in the North Liyuan.

In the entire North Liyuan, there were thunderous explosions everywhere, and there were bloody and tragic scenes of blood and flesh flying everywhere and wailing everywhere.

With 100,000 people pouring into minefields, such a dense crowd is the most likely to detonate mines and cause mass casualties.

Suddenly, the Han Chinese who rushed into the woods were enslaved, and they were completely frightened by the mines buried in the forest, and as the number of casualties continued to increase, at last, they did not dare to go any further.

At this moment, I don't know who took the lead in making a scream, and then, all the Han people who entered the lychee forest fled back the way they came.

Outside the lychee forest, the five thousand Yue armor soldiers had already opened their bows and crossbows against the woods.

I saw them looking at the Han slaves who were about to escape from the woods with cold expressions, and coldly unfolded their bows, and thousands of sharp arrows aimed at the vital points of these Han people.

Soon, thousands of Han Chinese were enslaved and fled the woods in terror.

Just as they stepped out of the woods, Buck's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and a cold voice ordered, "Release the arrows!" ”

At the sound of an order, thousands of Dayue archers shot into the woods at the same time.

Shout! Shout! Shout! ……

In an instant, a strong rain of arrows covered the Han slave crowd who had escaped from the woods, and thousands of Han slaves were swept through their bodies by the arrows before they could completely escape from the woods, and they fell to the ground with blood foaming on the spot.

Waves of powerful arrows rained mercilessly into the woods, and the Han enslavers who fled back, under the bows and crossbows of the Dayue people, fell to the ground in pieces with wails like harvested rice.

After shooting several waves of Han Chinese slaves who had escaped in succession, Buck waved his hand violently and asked his soldiers to stop shooting.

At this time, I saw him staring coldly at the Han people who were hiding in the woods and shivering, and roared murderously: "You Han dogs listen to the general, if anyone dares to take a step back, there will be no mercy!" ”

"What are you still doing in a daze, continue to move forward for Lao Tzu!"

"Hurry up for Lao Tzu to get up, Lao Tzu who is grinding and slashing your head with a knife!"

"The old immortal thing, since you lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, then Lao Tzu will completely end up with you......"

In this way, driven by the ferocious oppression of the Dayue people, the remaining tens of thousands of Han people once again gathered into a front of hundreds of meters, facing the minefield in front of them, and slowly advanced forward.

As for those Dayue people, they followed the safe area that was enslaved and trampled by those Han people, and crossed the North Liyuan step by step.

Today, the army led by Sang Kang was delayed for half a day because of the blockage of the mine array, but this group of ruthless and cunning Dayue people, they were not damaged, because the heavy injuries were all Han people who opened the way in front.

The 100,000 Han people who took the lead were enslaved, and after breaking through the minefield of Beiliyuan, there were less than 10,000 left.

Originally, Nie Zheng's mine array was not enough to cause such a large number of casualties to these Han people, but among the 90,000 Han people killed and wounded, basically the vast majority died at the hands of those Dayue people.

As long as the Han people were injured by landmines or were injured by shotguns, the Dayue people were not treated, and they were all killed on the spot......
