Chapter 181: Being smart is mistaken by being smart

The three-way soldiers arranged by Zhang Beichen went to their destinations.

The first is to defend the defenders of Wei.

After Pang Ming suffered a defeat, he became much more cautious.

"The weapon, called artillery, is incredibly powerful. It is installed on the city wall, and if we want to storm it, our army will inevitably pay a terrible price! Pang Ming decided to rest in place and sent scouts to reconnoiter the information.

Ten days later, the scout came to report: "General, the Korean army is repairing the city wall, and they are installing new artillery." ”

"They still have artillery? How many more? Pang Ming asked in surprise, it is already difficult to deal with a few of these things, if there are some more, how can this city be beaten?

"It seems like there are more than ten of them!" The scout said.

"More than a dozen artillery pieces?" Pang Ming was surprised in his heart, and he personally led people to secretly observe the walls of the Korean army.

Sure enough, the South Korean army is installing new artillery, four walls, and three artillery pieces are placed on each wall!

"How can they have so many of them?" Pang Ming was shocked in his heart, "If the Han army really has such strength, how can it be bullied by several countries?" Is there a deception in it? ”

"General, that artillery is terrifying, if we attack it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed." The adjutant reminded.

"But the king's urging is tight, if you don't fight, the king will definitely make a decree to blame." Pang Ming said, "In this way, tomorrow the sheep will attack and test the enemy's reality." If they really have so many cannons, we will besiege them first and wait until they run out of ammunition. ”

The next day, Pang Ming led his army to attack the city again.

"Attack the opponent's artillery first, and be sure to destroy it! Or occupy artillery positions! Pang Ming told the soldiers.

"Siege!" With the beating of war drums, the Wei soldiers began to attack the city again.

On the side of the South Korean army, the guards were also panicking.

Of these artillery pieces that were shipped, only one was real, and the others were fake.

Together with the original three guns, they had a total of four guns.

There is a door in front of the enemy, a door in the back, and the rest of the artillery is furnished.

Fortunately, Pang Ming did not disperse his forces to attack the city, but concentrated his forces to attack one side.

"Launch!" The Korean defenders had people set fire to the shells, which smashed into the enemy's ranks, turning the Wei soldiers on their backs.

The battle lasted for about two hours, and on the side of the South Korean army, the cannon chambers were already hot and about to be scrapped.

The reserve of artillery shells has also been decreasing, and if the Wei army really continues to attack, they will definitely be defeated.

But at this time, Pang Ming also began to hesitate.

Because of the artillery, he lost some more soldiers, and there is no sign of breaking through the city so far.

If all those cannons are used, even if they capture the city, they will lose a lot, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Seeing that the other party was not stingy in firing artillery, Pang Ming could only order: "Order, withdraw the army!" ”

The Wei army withdrew and began a siege strategy, blocking all roads and supplies around the city. A lonely city, without food and grass, surrounded for several months, the city will not be able to hold on.

……

On the Qin army's side, Yingmeng was also attacking frantically with his soldiers.

He met with more resistance than Pang Ming.

Zhang Beichen brought over most of the manufactured artillery and shells.

The fire bomb fell into the crowd, although it was not as powerful as artillery, but it could also injure and burn several soldiers, and it was cheap to manufacture, easy to make, and extremely numerous.

As for the artillery, not to mention, the elite black armor army of the Qin State can only go around the road in front of the artillery, and the flesh is mortal, who can withstand the shell bombardment?

The resistance encountered by Yingmeng was extremely great, and even if he was brave, he would not be able to break through the fire defense line of the South Korean army.

……

At this time, Zhang Beichen himself was leading the South Korean firecracker cavalry to meet the Zhao army.

Among the 100,000 Zhao troops led by Xinnan, there were 20,000 cavalry and 80,000 infantry.

It has only been more than three years since the simulation, and the national strength of each country is not strong enough, so it is already good to be able to come up with so many cavalry.

You must know that the total number of Donghu's elite cavalry is only thirty or fifty thousand.

Because King Zhao ordered a quick attack, Xinnan simply took 20,000 cavalry to go first, leaving the infantry to follow.

He was not worried that he would encounter the enemy, on the contrary, with this elite cavalry under his command, he wished that he could meet the enemy army sooner so that he could make a contribution.

……

"Prime Minister, the scouts found that the cavalry of the Zhao army was less than fifty miles away from us." Zhang Beichen has arrived at the border, and his subordinates have come to report.

"How many enemy troops are there?" Zhang Beichen asked.

"Judging from the number of tents, there are about 20,000 people."

"Prime Minister, our main force has not yet arrived, do you want to go back to the city for shelter first?" The generals asked.

At this time, there were only 3,000 cavalry under Zhang Beichen!

Compared to the enemy's 20,000, it's a bit worse!

Moreover, the prestige of Zhao Guo's iron cavalry, the generals have also heard of it, although they are equipped with the latest weapons, they are still very afraid of their opponents.

"No, just wait here, give the order, and prepare to meet the enemy. Begin to uproot the tents and make the illusion that they are leaving. Zhao Jun will definitely be eager to come over and chase them, and take them down in one fell swoop! Zhang Beichen ordered.

"Yes!"

The crowd began to prepare.

Their scouts can spot each other, and the other side's scouts can naturally spot them.

Soon, Shinnan learned that there was a Korean cavalry of about 3,000 men within fifty miles, and it seemed that it was preparing to flee.

"What a godsend!" Shinnan was overjoyed, he didn't think much about it at all, and he didn't need to think about it. His 20,000 elite cavalry went out, even if the other side still had tens of thousands of infantry to help, he could easily defeat!

"The whole army obeyed the order, immediately attacked, and destroyed these three thousand men." Shin Nan said, "These 3,000 people must be the elite of the Korean army, and if they are destroyed, the Korean army will suffer heavy losses!" ”

"Yes!" The generals of the Zhao army were also overjoyed, they all thought that this was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and hurriedly urged the soldiers under their command, and they got on their horses one after another, chasing the enemy army.

……

By the time Xinnan came after him with 20,000 cavalry, Zhang Beichen's 3,000 firearms army was ready.

"Prime Minister Zhang, I didn't expect you and me to meet here!" Xinnan said with a smile, "The king has already explained that if you meet Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, you must capture it and return to China." ”

"Prime Minister Zhang, don't blame Ben for being rude. When you come to my Zhao Kingdom, I will make amends to you! ”

"Xinnan, don't say it too early!" Zhang Beichen said, "Today you meet your true appearance, and you are going to be planted!" ”

"Really? Then please take a look at how powerful my Zhao Guo tiger and leopard ride! Charge! Xinnan ordered the cavalry to charge, and the cavalry of the Zhao army immediately formed a formation and charged the Korean army.

On the other hand, the Han army did not put on any cavalry formation that Shinan was familiar with, but stood in a row, picked up unknown weapons, as if they were bows and crossbows, and fired at the Zhao army.

Xin Nan smiled, the cavalry of the Zhao army were all wearing leather armor, and the speed was extremely fast, it was difficult for ordinary bows and crossbows to cause damage to them, and the formation must be disrupted, and the enemy army would be defeated!

However, after the enemy's first round of fire was fired, Shinnan's expression immediately changed from a smile to horror!

"Bang bang bang......" He heard a neat sound, and those weapons, when they hit the cavalry, the cavalry did not have the slightest strength to resist, and was shot down and dismounted.

Even if you're not dead, you're screaming!

Only those cavalry who have relatively high cultivation and can use spiritual power to protect their bodies can barely resist, but the Korean army is not vegetarian, and a few people rush into the enemy army, that is, they will be sent to death!

The enemy's firearms were round after round, and the cavalry was routed from a long distance!

If it is a heavy cavalry with full iron armor, it can break up the fire army. But the cavalry of Zhao followed the example of the Huns, for the sake of mobility, they were all light cavalry, and the equipment on their bodies was not enough to resist the power of bullets!

In just a moment, Shinnan saw that his cavalry had fallen in a large area!

He has fought for half his life and has never encountered such a situation!

Before their own cavalry touched their opponents, they all fell? How is this going to be fought?

"This weapon is too powerful!" Xinnan was frightened in his heart, according to this way of fighting, not to mention that he had 20,000 people, even if all 100,000 people were there, he would come to die.

"Retreat!" Shinnan made a quick decision and ordered the soldiers to retreat.

"Chase!" Zhang Beichen naturally wouldn't let him go.

Cavalry can attack while running.

The firecrackers designed by Zhang Beichen are much stronger than those ancient firecrackers in parallel time and space, with higher accuracy and longer range, and can shoot quickly, directly forming an equipment generation gap!

It can be said that now his army of firearms, only those with "mysterious powers" can defeat it.

For example, what kind of Gu soldiers, corpse soldiers and the like.

But now the simulation has only not been started for a long time, and the mysterious power has not yet appeared, and the firecracker cavalry is invincible at this time!

Zhang Beichen led 3,000 men to hunt down and kill 20,000 people in Xinnan.

The sound of "bang, bang, bang......" The sound of the fire bolt made Shinnan's scalp tingle, and he knew that every sound meant that a soldier might have been hit and killed!

Zhang Beichen chased him for a hundred miles, and at this time, Xinnan found that his 20,000 elite cavalry was less than a thousand.

More than 10,000 of them were killed, while the others fled for their lives and lost contact with the main force.

At this time, they had already reached the boundary of Zhao Kingdom.

The soldiers of Zhao came to support, and Zhang Beichen gave up the pursuit.

He was also waiting for the South Korean infantry to come, waiting for the infantry to arrive, replenish ammunition, and then continue the attack.

……

Inside the tent, Shinnan was still in shock.

He never expected that he would lose so quickly and so miserably!

"20,000 cavalry, gather the remnants of the army, and now there are only 3,000 people!" Xinnan knew that in order to build these 20,000 elite cavalry, King Zhao took the lead in saving trouble, buying war horses, and building equipment.

But now, most of his efforts have been lost, and he doesn't know how to go back.

"General, are we going to withdraw our troops?" The generals under his command were also hesitating.

"No, if you withdraw at this time, our army will be completely defeated!" Shin Nan gritted his teeth and said, "The king has already explained, you must put pressure on South Korea!" ”

"Their weapon, Ben would have already known. It's very powerful in cavalry runs, but how can it be used against infantry in armor and shields? ”

Shin Nam was still holding his breath in his heart, he had to make a meritorious service, or occupy a few cities from Korea, so that he could recover today's losses!

……

Han Jun and Zhao Jun rested for nearly a month.

The two armies were on the border, ready for war.

In order to deal with the firecracker, Shinnan made ample preparations. He not only brought in the shields and armor of the nearby defenders, but also specially poured tung oil on the shields to block the attacks of the firecrackers.

"Today, Ben is going to be ashamed! Our Zhao army is not only strong in cavalry, but also strong in infantry! "Xinnan had more than 80,000 soldiers at this time, and Zhang Beichen, because the Korean army needed to divide the troops into three routes, he only had 40,000 troops at this time, less than half of the opponent's.

When the two armies met, there was no need to talk nonsense, and both sides invariably chose to attack.

Shinnan learned wisely this time, and distributed the cavalry on the flanks to cover the attack, allowing the shield armor to go first, first breaking up the enemy's formation, and then the cavalry to go up again, so that he could deal with the attack of the firearms.

The soldiers of the Korean army took the fire and shot at it, and sure enough, the bullet hit the shield painted with tung oil, and it was extremely difficult to penetrate it, and the Zhao army soon came to the front of the battlefield.

"Ben will only suffer once, but this time your weapon is useless, right?" Seeing this, Shinnan was proud.

Seeing that the enemy had already pulled in the distance, Zhang Beichen ordered: "Transmitted fire bomb!" ”

They attacked, carrying chariots that resembled catapults. But this is actually a simple fire bomb launcher, and the fire bomb is ignited and thrown out.

When the fire bomb landed in the enemy's ranks, the fire flew with the sound of an explosion.

The shield and armor after being drenched with tung oil are very easy to catch fire, for a while, the Zhao army's camp was full of fire, from time to time there were soldiers screaming, and some soldiers were afraid of fire bombs, so they turned around and ran!

"What is this?" Shinnan was dumbfounded again, he thought that his tung oil shield could defeat the enemy, but he didn't expect it to be used as a fire starter for the other party!

It's not that Shinnan didn't think about the enemy's use of fire, but he thought that the enemy used rockets at most, and the range of rockets was short, and as long as the soldiers rushed over and disrupted the enemy's formation, rockets would have no effect.

But who would have known that the enemy still had such a thing?

The war has just begun, and Shinnan has a hunch that he will be planted again this time!

Under the cover of fire bombs, the morale of the South Korean soldiers soared and they began to launch a fierce attack.

The 3,000 firecrackers also rushed out, outflanked the enemy from the flank, and fired with firearms, and a large number of Zhao soldiers were killed immediately.

The Zhao army was about to collapse at the first touch, even if Xinnan struggled to command, but the other party's Zhang Beichen was even better than him in military command!

A few hours later, on the battlefield, the Zhao army had been completely defeated, the soldiers were dead, the wounded were wounded, and the living either surrendered or fled.

Even Xinnan himself was surrounded by Zhang Beichen and others.

"Shinnan, surrender." Zhang Beichen persuaded.

Xinnan looked sad and said: "I Xinnan has fought more than 100 battles in my life, and I have never been defeated so badly, I am ashamed of my trust in the king!" ”

"Today, the only way to apologize is death!"

With that, Shinnan drew his sword and killed himself, dying on the battlefield.

"Collect his body." Zhang Beichen instructed, "The rest of the people, clean up the battlefield and prepare to return to help." ”

"Yes!"

At this time, Zhao Guo lost the main army, and if he took the opportunity to attack Zhao State, he would definitely make Zhao Guo's vitality greatly damaged.

However, the other two roads in South Korea lacked the main force and could not hold out for a long time, so Zhang Beichen could only give up expanding his advantage and go back to support.

This battle not only proved the power of the new weapon, but also solved a major opponent. Zhao Guo will not be able to invade Korea again for at least ten years.

And with the loss of 100,000 main forces, it is difficult to say whether Zhao Guo can survive these ten years.
