Chapter 295: Artillery salvo
But Huaxiong didn't.
He had his troops gather in the distance, pulling out of formation, as if waiting for something.
Feng Ji frowned slightly, and muttered in his heart,
What is Huaxiong waiting for?
In the next second, suddenly there was a series of dull cannon sounds from not far away!
Feng Ji suddenly remembered something, and his face changed wildly!
"Not good!"
He screamed.
Ma Yan and Zhang Yi were still standing there, looking at Feng Ji stupidly, not understanding why he was so excited.
Feng Ji stomped his foot and hurriedly jumped off the watchtower.
He followed Yuan Shao to Guandu and saw with his own eyes the power of artillery in Huaxiong's army.
And the series of cannons just now, there are at least hundreds of guns!
"Dodge!"
Feng Ji greeted the two generals.
Ma Yan and Zhang Yi also reacted at this moment and jumped off the watchtower.
No sooner had they jumped to the ground than they heard a "thud", and a round iron ball hit the watchtower with precision.
The wooden watchtower was directly torn apart under this blow!
Several soldiers above were smashed into a piece of meat by iron balls!
The three of them suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
But that's not all, a succession of iron balls fell from the sky.
They slammed into the ground, then bounced off and swept all the way through.
Whoever stood in their way, the tents were torn apart, and the men and horses were crushed to pulp.
In addition, there were shells that fell to the ground and exploded.
Many soldiers were killed on the spot, and some of them were left with arms and legs missing, lying on the ground and wailing loudly.
The camp of the Yuan army, which was originally in full swing, instantly became a purgatory on earth.
"Ahhhh
"Help me!"
Wounded soldiers were everywhere, lying on the ground screaming.
The uninjured soldiers were running around like headless flies at the moment, trying to find a safe place.
It's a pity that under such intensive artillery fire, how can there be safety?
Yuki raised his head and looked blankly at the chaotic scene around him.
At this moment, he finally knew what Hua Xiong was waiting for.
It turns out that Huaxiong is preparing artillery!
"Strategist, be careful!"
When a cannonball hit, Zhang Yi was quick and pushed Feng Ji.
The round cannonball passed by Yuki, slamming into the ground, but then bouncing high.
One of the soldiers was unable to dodge and was hit by a shell on the right side of his torso.
As a result, it was directly torn in half!
He couldn't even scream, and he was killed on the spot!
Seeing such a bloody scene, Feng Ji was afraid for a while.
And at this moment, the distant cannon fire also stopped.
Ma Yan and Zhang Yi cautiously approached Feng Ji,
"Strategist, what should I do next?"
"What should I do?"
The corners of Feng Ji's mouth twitched, and he wanted to cry.
He also wanted to ask, what to do.
Originally, he wanted to hold on to the barracks, wait until the defenders of the Yellow River rushed over, concentrate superior forces, and destroy the 30,000 horses and horses that Huaxiong crossed the Yellow River.
But this round of artillery salvo just now directly destroyed the barracks.
Feng Ji preliminarily estimated that the 20,000 horses in the barracks had at least a loss of more than 10,000!
The remaining 10,000 people are also full of fear at the moment, and there is no morale at all.
"Organize all the remaining soldiers."
Feng Ji forcibly cheered up and commanded.
"Yes."
Ma Yan and Zhang Yi received the order and were just about to stand up.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves could already be heard from afar.
A flash of despair flashed on Feng Ji's face, and he knew that Hua Xiong would not be able to miss this opportunity!
"I am Gan Ning (Wei Yan), the forward general of the King of Wei, who dares to fight me to the death!"
Riding horses to the front, it was Gan Ning and Wei Yan.
The two brandished their weapons and rushed into the ruined barracks.
Fortunately, Ma Yan and Zhang Yi had already organized a team of soldiers, and Feng Ji hurriedly commanded to meet them, wanting to resist the impact of the enemy.
But his thoughts were in vain.
Gan Ning and Wei Yan are very skilled, rough and easy to kill!
How can these fearless soldiers stop it?
Gan Ning picked up the chain in his hand and smashed to death a Yuan soldier who tried to block him.
Wei Yan on the other side was also powerful, slashing down with a knife and forcibly splitting an enemy soldier in half!
Seeing these two people so brave, the soldiers of Yuan Jun, who was already demoralized, were even more frightened.
Some timid soldiers simply dropped their weapons and scattered in a hurry.
Seeing that the soldiers who had finally been organized were crushed like this, Feng Jiqi's face was pale, but he was helpless.
However, the leak happened to rain overnight, and a herald rushed over.
"Strategist, something is wrong!"
"Speak!"
"Our defenders on the Yellow River beach have just begun to withdraw.
The enemy troops on the other side of the river took advantage of the situation to cross the river.
Now that the enemy has occupied the river beach, our men will not be able to withdraw at all! ”
Feng Ji only felt a chill in his back.
He watched Gan Ning and Wei Yan rush and kill in his own military camp with his cavalry as if they were in a no-man's land.
After a long time, he sighed and said with difficulty,
"Withdraw!"
Ma Yan and Zhang Yi on the side had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
The two of them immediately sorted out the remaining troops and fled in the direction of Yecheng.
……
"Lord, look, the enemy is starting to flee!"
Zhou Cang looked at the battlefield in the distance and smiled excitedly.
"Got it."
Hua Xiong smiled indifferently.
"Lord, why aren't you excited at all?"
Zhou Cang said curiously.
At this time, Guo Jia on the side said with a smile,
"Because this is to be expected for the lord."
"Why is that?"
Zhou Cang was puzzled.
"If Feng Ji guards the north bank of the Yellow River, he may be able to compete with the lord.
But he didn't expect that the lord would be able to descend from heaven and appear on the north bank of the Yellow River, so he would definitely be defeated. ”
Guo Jia said softly.
"Yes, Fengji only has 50,000 horses, but we have an army of 100,000.
Not to mention that the enemy's defense center of gravity is placed on the edge of the Yellow River.
Feng Ji only cared about guarding against the lord crossing the river, but he didn't take into account the threat from the rear flank.
By the time he found out about us, it was too late. ”
Jia Xu nodded in agreement.
After this explanation, Zhou Cang suddenly realized.
Hua Xiong slowly stood up, looked at the battlefield in the distance, and said softly,
"Send an order to Gan Ning and Wei Yan, let the two of them pursue Fengji!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Zhou Cang hurriedly took the order and rode to the battlefield at a gallop.
"Xingba, Wenchang!"
From afar, he shouted at Gan Ning and Wei Yan.
Gan Ning flipped the enemy in front of him with an iron chain, wiped a handful of blood and sweat, and laughed,
"Zhou Cang, what do you have to say?"
"Feng Ji has retreated with the remnants of the army, and the lord has ordered you to lead the army in pursuit!"
"Order!"
Gan Ning shook the chain in his hand and said with a strange smile,
"Brothers, follow me and continue to charge and kill the enemy!"
"Rush!"
Wei Yan raised the long knife in his hand and shouted.
"Rush!"
"Rush!"
"Rush!"
Under the leadership of Gan Ning and Wei Yan, the mighty army rushed in the direction of Feng Ji and the others retreating!
