Chapter 741: The Age of Weapons

Five days later, the capital of King Ishil was thirty miles to the south.

It took five days for the Li family coalition to move from the east of the capital of the king of Ihir to the south. During this period, they didn't even prepare for war, and kept their heads buried in the road.

After coming to the south, Li Hao couldn't help but say, and immediately commanded the army to prepare to attack the city.

This order is not to mention the army of the Volga protectorate, and even the coalition forces themselves are confused.

Preparing for war or anything else, they already knew that once they launched an attack on the king of Ihir, the coastal states would definitely wait for the opportunity to snatch the fruits of victory from the coalition forces. They were initially located in the north, which was still some distance from the coastal countries. At that time, Li Hao did not order the attack, but moved the position to the south and attacked, what is the reason?

Now the Volga Protectorate army, which was guarding the capital of the Ihir king, had all moved to the south. The 300,000-strong army is violent, and they all want to fight to the death for the motherland.

What's even more terrifying is that the coalition forces are standing in front of the coastal countries at this moment, handing over their backs to this group of jackals, how dare the soldiers concentrate on killing on the battlefield.

Li Shimin's face changed, and he hurriedly walked in front of Li Hao and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Li, can I ask why you put your position here?" ”

At this moment, Li Hao was wearing a wolf god mask on his face, and everyone couldn't see his expression, let alone guess his thoughts.

The black egg also stepped forward and persuaded: "Lord Wang, this joke is too big. Give your back to the hungry wolf, this is a bad deal! ”

Li Hao didn't care, and said coldly: "Since there is a wolf behind you, then just watch out, please Your Majesty, you lead an army of 400,000 to guard the rear and block the armies of the coastal countries!" ”

"Four hundred thousand! Do you mean that you want to attack the capital of Ihil with 100,000 troops? Li Shimin was shocked inexplicably.

Although Li Hao has fought the most battles since his debut, he has been outnumbered. But the army of the Volga protectorate and that Hagel are not fuel-efficient lamps, with 100,000 tired troops against 300,000 elite troops, this is undoubtedly an egg to hit a stone.

Even if the siege equipment of the Linghui Army was huge, it was impossible to defeat Hagel when the enemy was outnumbered.

Li Hao looked back at Li Shimin, his eyes were full of confidence.

"Your Majesty, please believe me! I only need three days, and if I can't defeat the army of the Volga protectorate, I promise to withdraw my troops and go back! ”

Li Hao's words were conclusive, and Li Shimin couldn't refute them, so he could only sigh and nod in the end.

That's it

In the same way, the 500,000 coalition troops were divided into two parts, of which 400,000 stayed in the camp, vigilant against the movements of the coastal countries, and Li Hao advanced with an army of 100,000 and came all the way to ten miles outside the capital of King Yihil.

On the frontal battlefield this time, Li Hao only brought one black egg, and even Ashina Yuqing, Tart, Yan Yan and Yuwen Chengyu, these strategists and generals did not bring them.

The important ministers of the Li Kingdom stayed in the rear, watching the situation on the front line nervously with Li Shimin.

The army of the Volga protectorate had already set up a formation under the city walls, just waiting for the onslaught of the Linghui army.

Looking at the enemy camps several times larger than himself, even if it is a black egg who has been on the battlefield for many years, he can't help but feel nervous at this moment.

"Lord Wang's joke is too big, I don't have the ability to defeat the 300,000 army!"

Li Hao chuckled: "Have confidence in yourself!" ”

The black egg looked at Li Hao under the mask of the wolf god, and then looked at his side.

Not to mention that Yuwen Chengyu and Zhang Qi, who fought side by side on weekdays, were not there, Li Hao didn't even bring the strongest unit of the Linghui Army, the Linghui cavalry, and all kinds of siege equipment were even rarer. The walls of the capital of King Ihir are towering, and hundreds of thousands of troops under the city are lined up neatly, so he wants to use manpower to tear down the city walls? Black Egg couldn't sleep all night last night, and he couldn't think of any way to win after thinking about it all night.

"That'...... Forget it, Lord Wang, give the order! Hei Dan wanted to say something, but he couldn't hold back a word in the end. His life was saved by Li Hao, and it was all up to Li Hao to have the achievement of Linghui Shuangbi. Even if Li Hao wanted him to die today, Hei Dan would not frown.

Li Hao waved his hand: "The shield wall has been eliminated in front of the line, and all the melee fighters have been replaced with archers!" ”

"I ......" the black egg is so dangerous, and he doesn't have a word of swearing. The front row was all replaced by archers, and once the enemy's large army attacked, what would they use to block?

"How?" Li Hao glanced at the black egg in surprise.

The black egg gritted his teeth: "Yes, Lord Wang!" ”

Soon, the sword and axe men in the front row of the front line were replaced by Linghui's archer troops.

Li Hao took a deep breath and nodded at a Lijiazhuang craftsman beside him.

After a short time, objects the size of a zhang and covered in black cloth were lifted and placed in front of the shield wall position. The number is not too much, and there are only about a hundred of them in total.

In the distance, Hagel saw the dispatch of the Linghui Army and found that they had mobilized their archers to the front of the camp. My heart was immediately overjoyed.

"Put the archers at the front of the camp, Li Hao

Is this looking down on the general! Someone came to blow the horn of the charge and slaughtered this bold Linghui army! ”

Whining~

A distant horn sounded, and tens of thousands of cavalry had formed a formation and began to rush towards the Linghui army camp. Behind them, more than 100,000 infantry rushed up in unison. Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, once they reached the front line, the close combat of the archers of the Linghui Army was by no means a match for these people.

The black egg was anxious in his eyes: "Lord Wang, the enemy army is less than five miles away from us, how should we deal with it." ”

Li Hao put his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "Wait!" Three miles later, they will fight back. ”

"Lord Wang, we didn't bring a catapult this time! The range of the crossbow bolt is not as far as three miles! The black egg was about to cry as he spoke.

Li Hao was no longer speaking, his eyes were firmly fixed on the enemy troops.

In a short time, the enemy cavalry team had already rushed into the three-mile range.

Li Hao gritted his teeth, his eyes were sharp, and he shouted: "Launch!" ”

The more than 1,000 Linghui soldiers standing in front of the shield wall immediately lifted the black cloth in front of the front.

I saw cylinders cast of black steel appear in everyone's sight.

Immediately after, these warriors raised their torches and pressed them on the cylinder according to the method taught to them by Li Hao.

The black egg watched their movements, and he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Li Hao's gourd. Seeing that the enemy cavalry was only two miles away from the main formation, he hurriedly wanted to order a change of formation.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he heard a deafening roar coming from the more than 100 black barrels.

Boom Boom Boom!

An explosion roared like thunder, and I saw more than a hundred flame-burning projectiles flying out, dragging a long flame tail, and crashing into the enemy cavalry camp.

Scattering time, a burst of explosions sounded, and the ground was blasted out of huge craters by black projectiles, and the cavalry soldiers near the pits were immediately blown apart, and their flesh and blood were blurred.

Under a salvo, tens of thousands of cavalry were instantly reduced by more than half.

When the explosion subsided, everyone was stunned.

Not only the Volga Baoguo, but even the soldiers of the Linghui Army who fired the shells were stunned, they were well-trained on weekdays and brave as lions on the battlefield, but they were trembling all over at the moment, and those who were a little less courageous were even so frightened that they sat on the ground, looking at the black pipe in front of them with a pale face.

Li Hao looked at the frontal battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke, and sighed suddenly: "After all, the wheel of history has been pushed to the age of weapons!" ”
