The Great Xia army had 1,000 steam tracked vehicles, and 800 were dispatched in this battle.

Even the Cheng family in the city smelled the breath of the decisive battle.

Cheng Lu looked very excited, "Family master, Chen Mu only brought a thousand musketeers this time, and we have eight thousand camel cavalry, why don't you go out of the city to attack?" ”

Cheng Tang groaned and did not answer.

Cheng Wu said: "But there are cars in Daxia, and our camels can't catch up." ”

Cheng Lu hurriedly said: "Isn't there still two thousand infantry? It's better to kill the infantry! Chen Mu brought the infantry, it must be for the siege of the city, let's kill the infantry, he only has the musketeers left, and he will not dare to attack the city. ”

Cheng Wu: "I think it's better to wait for them to come in and then compare prices." ”

Cheng Lu wanted to say more, but Cheng Tang interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Don't say it, let's strike. Chen Mu brought 200 cannons, and he would not attack them. And the enemy now has fewer musketeers, so it is our best chance. ”

Cheng Wu: "However, I don't think something is right, Chen Mu won't be so stupid." He must have musketeers in ambush in the distance. ”

Cheng Tang waved his hand again, "As long as we kill fast enough, it will be too late for his ambush soldiers to come." ”

Seeing that the head of the family had made up his mind, Cheng Wu didn't say anything more, and went down to gather the camel cavalry.

Outside the city, after Chen Mu set up his formation, he didn't attack immediately, as if he was waiting for something. After a while, two groups of camel cavalry rushed out of the side door.

Chen Mu smiled, "It's you who are waiting, the artillery is ready!" ”

The angle of the artillery was originally flat fire, and there was no need to adjust it again, and the artillerymen stood with firearms in their hands, waiting for Chen Mu's next order.

Chen Mu looked at the camel cavalry and counted, "Two thousand, four thousand, six thousand, what a lot!" ”

"Fire!"

Chen Mu gave an order, and the two hundred artillery pieces let out an earth-shattering roar, and the shells roared towards the enemy like an iron curtain.

The shells landed at different points, but they all exploded after a few seconds, erupting tongues of fire and fragments in the surrounding area.

The camel cavalry was blown off limbs, screaming again and again, and the entire battlefield instantly turned into purgatory on earth.

Cheng Tang in the city was dumbfounded.

"Their shells can explode! How did they get the gunpowder in? Why doesn't it explode in the barrel?

Cheng Lu stood beside him, his eyes wide, his lips constantly trembling, and he couldn't say a word.

This kind of explosive bomb is Chen Mu's secret weapon.

Due to technical limitations, instead of firing pins, leads, are used.

The front half of the shell is gunpowder, with encapsulating mud in the middle, through which a lead is passed through the mud, and the back is solid, which is used to bear the pressure of the gunpowder in the bore to prevent it from spreading out in the barrel.

The explosion time of each shell is not exactly the same, but it doesn't matter if it hits the ground for a second or two and then explodes, or it explodes in the air a second earlier.

There are no friendly forces ahead anyway.

In fact, this is the principle of firecrackers, fortunately, Chen Mu dismantled it when he was a child, and he thought of this idea when he developed the cannon.

It's just that it's more difficult to manufacture, so it's only now being shipped to the front.

As soon as Cheng Wu in the camel cavalry team saw this situation, he knew that he had lost today. He shouted desperately to make the camel cavalry retreat, but the artillery exploded like this, and the camels were startled. He just runs around, and he doesn't listen to orders at all.

Next, there is the unilateral bombardment of the Great Xia army, and occasionally the fish that slip through the net will also be killed by the musketeers of Great Xia.

Soon, there was not a single living camel cavalry left on the battlefield.

With a wave of Chen Mu's hand, the whole army moved forward, and the freshly baked explosive bomb landed in the city again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Cheng family ran away on their own, leaving only a group of ignorant and ignorant Isis people.

They thought that a god would descend to earth, issue them with artifacts, and lead them to conquer the world. Unexpectedly, the gods on the opposite side were even more powerful, and they were not opponents at all.

The Isis could only hide in the building, praying to the gods on the other side to forgive them.

I don't know how long it took, but the explosions finally stopped.

The Wudang Flying Army walked into the ruins, searching for survivors.

Outside the city, Chen Mu looked at the devastated battlefield and sighed for the fate of the Isis people. It was not easy for them to survive in the desert, and they also met careerists like the Cheng family, which brought ruin to the Isis people.

And in order to stop the Cheng family, Chen Mu could only open the killing ring. Otherwise, the people who died in the battle would be the Xiqiang, Persians, and Bactrian people.

After a while, Wudang Feijun came to report.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, we have searched the entire ruins of Shacheng, and we have not found anyone who has a family or a corpse."

Chen Mu nodded, this result was also expected by him.

"Bring the survivors here."

"Yes!"

The soldier said yes and turned to leave. After a while, more than a hundred surviving Isis were brought. They looked at Chen Mu in horror, not knowing how the victorious gods would punish them.

Chen Mu asked, "Where did the Cheng family go?" ”

"It's the guy who drives."

"Someone who doesn't dress like you."

Chen Mulian said with a comparison, but the Isis people didn't understand it at all.

Just when Chen Mu was about to give up, there was a smart Yisi man who understood. Pointing in the direction of the iron mine and the factory, and then gesturing with his hand, he described a lot of big things.

Chen Mu also understood, either the Cheng family ran over there, or there was a big building.

"Good."

"Give him something to eat."

A soldier brought food and water, and the wise Isis man smiled and saluted to thank Chen Mu.

Chen Mu looked at the others again, hoping to get a little more information. But the men looked at each other, as if they didn't know anything more.

Chen Mu couldn't ask when he saw it, and it was useless to keep these people, so he stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance.

"Let's go."

The soldiers dispersed, giving the Isis a passage to leave.

The Isis understood, and pointed pitifully to the food in the hands of the wise Isis.

Chen Mu nodded, "Give each of them a share, including the first person." ”

Soon, the soldiers brought food and distributed it, and the clever Isis got two portions. This time they were all very happy, and after thanking Chen Mu, they left.

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled: "The Cheng family wants to rely on these natives to defeat Great Xia? What a joke. ”

"Back to the city!"

Chen Mu did not continue to lead his troops to chase, firstly, because the enemy situation was unknown, although these Yisi people looked honest and had no combat effectiveness. But in case the Cheng family sets a trap in front, it is easy to capsize in the gutter.

Moreover, they are running out of supplies and need to go back to the city to replenish them.

Chen Mu led the army back to the fortress on the way, rested for a day, made full preparations the next day, and on the third day, Chen Mu set off again with his troops.

This time, Chen Mu brought 3,000 musketeers, 100 light guns, half of which were solid bullets and half were explosive shells.
