Chapter 693: Assault

The shells of the Xianbei people bombarded the edge of the trenches.

Yang Zhao and the others retreated in time and just dodged, but the bombardment of those artillery shells splashed a piece of dirt, and the iron bullets did not have a great impact on them.

"Keep firing!"

Sima Yi saw that Yang Zhao was pressed back by artillery, so he ordered the artillery to be used to cover, and the infantry advanced directly to the high slope.

The Xianbei people did not use cavalry to attack the high ground, and Sima Yi knew that the cavalry did not have much advantage in attacking from the back, as long as the speed slowed down, it was easy to fall into a situation of being beaten.

Under this premise, it is relatively easy for the infantry to gain the upper hand and kill on the high ground.

The infantry immediately advanced to the high ground, and walked at a very fast speed, and when they were about to reach the top of the high ground, the artillery was almost covered, and they stopped the shelling, and if they continued to fight, they would accidentally injure their own men.

Tens of thousands of infantry were less than a hundred paces away from the top of the high ground, and seeing that the artillery stopped, a Xianbei general shouted directly, and all the Xianbei soldiers rushed to the high ground at the same time.

"Fight back!"

Yang Zhao couldn't hear the sound of the cannon, so he looked down from the high ground.

I saw that the artillery was withdrawn by Sima Yi, and the infantry was rushing up, even within a hundred paces, so he directly ordered to shoot.

Gunfire echoed across the high ground.

All the soldiers, each armed with a rifle, shot at the attacking Xianbei.

More than 30,000 rounds of ammunition were fired at the Xianbei people in the front row.

Even Zhuge Liang picked up a gun and shot back.

The first row of bullets fired downwards, knocking down the Xianbei people in the front row.

The one behind was about to follow, and was soon shot almost as well.

The Xianbei people in the Budugen tribe were accustomed to the power of firearms, and they had seen Yang Zhao's firearms.

However, the soldiers from other tribes didn't know what muskets were at all, and the most powerful ones they had seen were only the artillery that had just been bombarded, and they thought that the Han army knew what magic tricks they had.

There was just a loud noise, and their people, like leeks being cut, were gone, and many Xianbei soldiers were frightened, turned around and ran away, never daring to attack again.

Shan Yu from other tribes also saw for the first time the terrifying firearms of Yang Zhao.

Although the strike range is not as large as that of the artillery, it can suppress their attacks.

The remaining Xianbei soldiers, before the first impact was completed, hurriedly retreated, returned to the bottom of the high ground, and did not dare to continue to rush up.

"Yang Zhao, what kind of weapon are they?"

Shamad Khan asked in surprise.

Budugen said calmly: "It's just a relatively easy musket, and we also have this thing." ”

He had a flintlock pistol fetched, and after reloading it, he shot it at the shield next to him, and the shield was pierced.

Ke Bi can wait, some of the Shan Yu who is not very good with Budugen, at this time looked at Budugen's eyes, with a faint threat.

If Budugen uses this firearm, plus artillery against them.

The other Xianbei tribes basically have no room for resistance.

But the most important thing at the moment is how to kill Yang Zhao.

They can only put down all kinds of thoughts for the time being, just keep an eye on it, wait until Yang Zhao is dead, and then join forces to deal with Bu Dugen.

We must not give in to the roots and continue to be strong.

"Our firearms are still defective."

Sima Yi explained: "It is more troublesome to replace ammunition, but it is no problem to use it for counterattacks." ”

Tho Rahu asked, "So what do we do now?" ”

Yang Zhao's firearms were stronger than their muskets.

The artillery had a limited strike range, and it could not collapse the trenches, so it was necessary to let the infantry kill and rush to the high ground in order to effectively counterattack Yang Zhao.

"I think you can let the cavalry rush once, although the advantage of the cavalry attack on the back will not be too great, but with artillery cover, the cavalry runs up quickly, and enters a distance of 100 steps, and only the cavalry can rush up at the fastest speed and kill to the high ground." ”

The speed of the cavalry's upward attack, no matter how slow it is, is much faster than that of the infantry.

At a distance of 100 paces, the infantry may need to charge for a while.

But the cavalry rushed up, and it was a matter of the blink of an eye.

As long as they are fast enough, they can create all possibilities after killing, but they ignore that the cavalry has a larger target and is more difficult to resist bullets.

"Leaking mud sounds like a workable method."

Murong Mo Hu agreed.

Yu Wenpu echoed: "Maybe you can try it with a cavalry charge." ”

Sima Yi didn't express an opinion on their thoughts, but just looked at the high ground and let them charge with cavalry, which might have a different effect.

But such an effect will not be great.

Because the cavalry sprints, it seems to be fast, but it also has limitations, the target is too big, once blocked, the rear can't keep up, and they can only be beaten.

He waited for these Xianbei people to accept Yang Zhao's beating.

In this way, you can appreciate his power and ability.

I had to convince myself.

If Sima Yi wants to get Xianbei, he must first make them admire, convinc, and have a certain prestige and fame.

Qian Man said: "If you want to use cavalry to attack, it is best to rush up from the north and south sides, as long as we have enough people, Yang Zhao will not be able to deal with it." ”

"That's right!"

Qianman's suggestion was agreed by Cheng Lugui.

Then, all the other Shan Yu felt that this was feasible.

They think that as long as they rush up, they will be able to take Yang Zhao.

After this plan was decided, Shan Yu of each tribe went back to the barracks of his subordinates, selected the most elite cavalry, and then sprinted.

Yang Zhao's cavalry did not dare to rush down and counterattack.

Otherwise it will be shelled.

It can only be defended on high ground.

On Bu Dugen's side, there were not many cavalry left.

Seeing that other tribes had brought so many cavalry, he was very envious in his heart, and his hatred for Yang Zhao had risen to a new stage.

If Yang Zhao is not destroyed, he will not be a human being.

Yang Zhao must die!

All the cavalry, soon ready.

On the north and south sides of the heights, they were surrounded and intercepted, and artillery was also placed on the north and south sides.

When everything was deployed, the cavalry gathered by multiple tribes, a total of more than 80,000 people, launched an attack on the high ground at the same time.

Hit it up together.

Yang Zhao counterattacked the infantry's onslaught, and just when they thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a loud sound of horses' hooves under the high ground.

They looked down and saw that on the north and south sides, the cavalry had gathered at the same time and were storming the high ground.

The cannons were once again pushed out by the Xianbei people, and the muzzles of the cannons went up and were aimed at the top of the high ground.

Rumble!

Before Yang Zhao could do anything, the artillery below exploded, and the shells were thrown high and fell heavily.

smashed on the edge of the trench, shaking the high ground a little.

The power of this kind of artillery is not very strong, but when it hits at the same time, the scene is quite shocking.
