Chapter 199: Early Morning
In the silent darkness, Chang Kun's army arrived as scheduled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe overall quality of this army is extremely high, and it is like a black and silent ghost in the night. If it weren't for the fact that Egret had night vision video surveillance equipment, I am afraid it would be difficult to spot this army led by Chang Kun with the naked eye.
It was early in the morning, and it was also the time when the soldiers on the night vigil were most sleepy. But Chang Kun not only did not take a break, but slowly began to recruit troops, apparently wanting to take advantage of the darkness to attack Yulong Pass.
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being a king-level famous general of the Chu State, not only his personal strength is strong, but his ability to grasp combat is not weak. At a glance, it can be seen that Yulongguan is now strong outside and middle-class, and it is directly about to carry out a night attack. Egret sighed, "What a guy who has an unusually confident belief in himself and his army." ”
"What now?" Xue Yan frowned, looking at the picture of Chang Kun's army displayed on the Egret tablet, a little distressed.
"Let people quietly call up the resting warriors. Don't move too much, so that the other person thinks that we are defenseless. The egret quietly ordered, "After that, you can command the artillery, this thing is for you, if the other party reaches the firing range, you can play freely." ”
As he spoke, Egret handed the tablet to Xue Yan, and he took out another one and began to connect to the video.
With such an observation weapon in hand, Xue Yan is equivalent to having an eye that can observe the whole field at night, which is an artifact for long-range artillery. No matter what the other person does, all of this will be faithfully reflected on the tablet.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a king-level master leading the team, Xue Yan would have been sure to defeat these Chu troops directly. It's just that there is a king-level leader, and all of this becomes very difficult. By the time Chang Kun's side had arranged the army and began to quietly advance towards the Fish Dragon Pass, the Fire Phoenix Army on the Egret side had already risen and waited for it, quietly staring at Chang Kun's army outside the Fish Dragon Pass.
Soon, Chang Kun's army began to approach the range of artillery. Xue Yan stared at the screen tightly, waving the flag in her hand, making the artillerymen constantly adjust the angle. Immediately, Xue Yan's flag slammed downward. The entire artillery team immediately lit the lead, and a huge roar sounded on the entire city wall of Yulong Pass.
"Boom!"
Nearly a hundred cannons made a deafening sound, and the whistling iron cannonballs rushed into the night sky, like hellfire falling from the sky, smashing into Chang Kun's military formation. Even Chang Kun, a king, had never seen such a sharp weapon, and he was stunned for a while, watching his army being blown away by the explosion.
Artillery against military formation, this is the first battle, the first battle is against the troops led by the king, this effect is simply amazing. Judging from the screen, this first round of shelling blasted away at least hundreds of people in Chang Kun's army. Many of them even have no bones left.
"Damn! Disperse! Disperse for me!" Chang Kun is not a mediocre person, as a king-level strength, he can easily use his superhuman strength to see the iron cannonballs attacking at night, but he never thought that these little guys actually have such power.
The best way to deal with shelling is to lie down and disperse. Instead of pulling away and continuing to charge, Chang Kun had no experience in dealing with artillery bombardment, he thought it might be some new type of trebuchet.
Trebuchets are naturally bulky and inflexible, firing at slow speeds and difficult to adjust angles. As long as the speed of the charge is fast enough, then it will naturally be able to quickly pass through the strike range.
But the artillery is different, these flexible little things can adjust the angle up and down, left and right, and the speed is not enough, loading and firing, under the skilled artillery operation, it is only a few tens of seconds.
Chang Kun wanted to rush out of the strike range, and when he got to the fish and dragon pass, he had to withstand at least nearly twenty to thirty rounds of artillery blows. This is something Chang Kun didn't expect at all.
Bai Lu naturally didn't care that Xue Yan used all the shells in this defensive operation, after all, what they were going to face was not an ordinary person, but a king-level veteran of the Chu State.
Before he could charge far, another round of artillery attacks came, and in less than a few tens of seconds, even the direction and angle were adjusted. Chang Kun's pupils shrank, his face was ugly, and he could only watch the army being swept away by the shells again.
"Damn, what the hell is this?!" Chang Kun scolded secretly in his heart, if it goes on like this, let alone take the Fish Dragon Pass, it is unknown whether it can rush to the pass, this group of Xia State troops is very insidious, they should have already discovered that their army had arrived, but they did a good job of defense without saying a word, waiting for their army to come forward and die.
"The Chinese army is scattered, don't charge, spread out to both sides, and escape the opponent's attack range!" Chang Kun was also a little anxious, the power of this explosion was nothing to himself, but even if a general-level master took a blow in a hurry, it was inevitable that he would not be injured, and he could not ignore his own army, so he could only give up the large army project and escape the opponent's blow first.
Another round of shelling, before Chang Kun's army dispersed, and with nearly a thousand soldiers explained, this king-level general finally escaped from the range of the shelling with his army.
Xue Yan saw it clearly, did not continue to waste shells, and waved the flag to stop the artillery.
"Chang Kun's army has withdrawn?" Qin Yu asked in surprise as he stood beside Bai Lu. "How powerful is this artillery?"
"It's not going to be that simple. The egret shook his head, "Chang Kun has brought at least 20,000 people, and now the loss is not even a tenth." And how can the withdrawal be carried out. He just didn't understand the situation in front of him, and was just amazed at the artillery weapons on our side, and soon this guy would regain his strength and continue to march towards Yulong Pass. ”
What the egret said was not wrong, Chang Kun was just confused for a while, but he soon recovered, and his mind began to recall the trajectory of the shell's attack. These artillery pieces are only a hundred, and if it were not for the relatively concentrated army, it would not have been able to produce such a good combat effect.
"Let General Gu and General Yue each lead an army, the formation of troops is separated on both sides, the charging distance is widened, and the distance between the soldiers is at least three meters or more. Also, after the whole army rests, charge at the fastest speed, just say it's my order!" Chang Kun said with a solemn face: "The opponent's new trebuchet is extremely flexible and powerful, but after all, the number is limited, it can't cover too wide the battlefield, and it can't hit a certain distance under the city wall of the checkpoint, and that is the safe area, so as long as we rush fast, we will definitely be able to reach the fish and dragon pass." ”
