Chapter 168: Mines and Secret Weapons

"Kill."

With a roar of gold, the soldiers who were being chased by the Rong cavalry turned their horses and killed the enemy who was close at hand.

The Rong general also began to regain his taste as he looked at the soldiers of the forbidden army who were getting closer and closer in the rear and the tripwires they were holding in their hands.

"There is a deception, retreat from the side."

After speaking, the Rong army under his command began to break through to the east, and a group of Jin Zi and others who were chased and killed by the Rong also began to attack the Rong cavalry in turn.

The situation on the battlefield was reversed for a while, and the forbidden army, which had been defeated and retreated, began to gradually change from prey to hunters in this war game.

Due to the large number of people on the battlefield, Xiao Jiu in the rear couldn't see the battle situation in front of him at all, so he could only pray that his strategy would work, otherwise the future battle would definitely be very tricky.

And Zong Yu in the Rong army was also nervous at the moment, because the loss of the Rong cavalry in his field of vision made him more and more uneasy.

"Is it a ploy?"

Zong Yu was not sure in his heart, so he could only wait and see, and before he knew it, Zong Yu's hand holding the reins was already dripping with sweat.

"Master Zong doesn't have to worry, the cavalry of the Rong clan is fierce, and Yun Bi wants to rely on those infantry to block it, which is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car."

Cui Hao had no battlefield experience, and he had seen the Rong cavalry suppressing the enemy all the time, and he thought that he had the chance to win, but at this time he actually began to comfort Zong Yu.

But Zong Yu still didn't say a word when he heard this, just stared coldly at the battlefield in front of him, as long as there was any change, he could react and give orders.

Time passed like this, and the Rong people in the battlefield began to retreat after a short battle.

Perhaps because they were born in the grassland, these Rong soldiers have a natural sensitivity to unknown dangers, and when they see the forbidden soldiers constantly surrounding, their first thought is to find a safe place to wait and see.

But this evacuation was in Xiao Jiu's arms, and he only heard a shocking noise coming from the direction of the Rong cavalry.

Hearing the sound of the mine exploding, Xiao Jiu knew that the opponent's cavalry had been tricked.

I saw that the war horse that was galloping at the front was blown to a blur of flesh and blood, and even the cavalry on horseback fell to the ground horizontally, and I don't know if I was alive or dead.

It didn't take long for the explosion to sound again, and more cavalry were killed and wounded, and for a time they were bleeding and drifting.

"Attack their Chinese army."

Just after the first explosion sounded, Zong Yu knew that it was a trick, and directly launched a full-scale attack with a wave of his hand.

The horn sounded, and the soldiers who had been stationed here for a long time all marched in an orderly manner, heading towards the forbidden army in the distance.

Not to be outdone, the Allied side of the Sekinai began to attack with all their troops under the orders of Yun Bi, preparing to meet the enemy who was about to arrive.

The flames of war were ignited in an instant, and there were people who wanted to make meritorious contributions and those who wanted to fish in troubled waters.

It's just that everything doesn't matter anymore, and from the moment these soldiers step on the battlefield, they end up with only two, dead or alive.

At present, there are not many troops on the side of the Kannai coalition at the front, because a large part of the troops are still divided against the cavalry behind.

After those Rong cavalry stepped into the mine array that had been planted in advance, they still didn't understand that this was a trap.

This dilemma made the soldiers leading this Rong cavalry constantly struggle and hesitate in their hearts.

They were no strangers to everything that had just happened, including the sudden loud noise, and they had heard it many times before when they attacked Huya Pass.

But don't all of that have to happen with an iron bump? How can it still grow in the ground now?

The Rong cavalry were puzzled, but the commander's order was then issued, "Kill through the infantry of the Great Xia people and rush out." ”

In the end, he still chose to break through from the dense defense line of the Great Xia Forbidden Army, after all, people are always afraid of the unknown, and he didn't dare to bet in the face of those bombs buried in the ground.

With the commander's order, the Rong cavalry once again showed their ferocious and belligerent side, and the ghost cried wolf and killed the soldier with the tripping horse in his hand.

"They're coming, and you won't be allowed to retreat even if you're dead."

In the rear of the Forbidden Army's infantry line, a general dressed in military attire rode back and forth on horseback, and behind him were soldiers armed with bows and crossbows, aiming arrows at their compatriots in front of them.

I have to say that although the forbidden army under Yun Bi is a little brutal, it still has a hand in governing the army.

Under the iron wrist of the general, those newly recruited soldiers were frightened by the other party and had to face the steppe war horses that rushed towards them.

"I hope these things are useful."

Many soldiers secretly prayed in their hearts that the wire they were holding on would give them strength, otherwise they would inevitably end up trampled into pulp.

There were a total of five rows of infantry soldiers in front of them who were armed with tools to intercept the Rong cavalry, and each row was separated by a considerable distance.

At this time, the war horses of the Rong clan had already rushed up after a few breaths, and the forbidden soldiers standing in the first row were almost crushed by the galloping war horses at the moment of contact because the psychological pressure was too great.

But Xiao Jiu's tripping rope customized for the Rong cavalry also played a role, and the war horses were knocked off one after another without stopping at all, and the cavalry who fell off the horse was directly trampled to death by the war horses that were squeezed behind.

The first defense line gave the Rong cavalry a lot of courage almost instantly, but they suffered a lot in the second line of defense.

Due to the large distance between the front and rear of the infantry of the forbidden army, they could not see the spectacular scene of thousands of horses galloping, and after the comrades in front of them fell, the human wall erected directly strangled many cavalrymen.

Watching the cavalry in front of him fall one after another under his nose, the commander of the Rong cavalry realized that their savage charge alone would not be able to cross the line of defense in front of him.

And what is after crossing the line? That's a whole army of more than 100,000 people, and this is not something that cavalry can charge and kill.

Just like a stranded fish, no matter how great your ability is in the sea, staying on the beach will only slow you die.

Thinking of this, the Rong commander immediately ordered not to rush forward, and turned around to cross the minefield.

In fact, without his orders, many cavalry had already begun to flee from the flank.

Most of these deserters were killed directly, but there were still people who ran farther and farther away in the dusty explosion, which undoubtedly gave the rest a glimmer of hope.

With the rout of the Rong cavalry, the infantry of the coalition army in the rear will definitely not be able to catch up with them on two legs alone.

However, a group of teams that fled with their tails between their legs, even if they were lucky enough to avoid the bombardment of mines, had already lost their combat ability in this war, and could not affect the outcome of the event.

Just as the Rong cavalry was fleeing, the two sides on the frontal battlefield had already begun to meet and started a real fight.

On the originally empty wilderness, the two sides were fighting, and the scene was a garbled word.

Feathered arrows streaked across the sky, severed limbs thrown wantonly, and lives lying in pools of blood.

Wars are always brutal, especially when there is no disparity in numbers between the two sides.

Because the Rong army is mixed with a large number of grassland people outside the border, they are extremely fierce, and it is daunting to fight with blood alone.

Although the Rong people have no rules to fight, they can survive in the grassland all year round, and it can be said that each has the ability to fight.

On the other hand, although the Guannai coalition army is much better than the Rong coalition army in terms of weapons and equipment, after all, many of them are newly recruited recruits, and there is a faint posture of being pressed and beaten by the enemy at this time.

The two armies clashed, and Xiao Jiu, who was in the rear, observed the situation on the battlefield and unconsciously clenched his fists.

"Today is a difficult bone to gnaw."

Although Xiao Jiu had planned in advance and made a rough prediction of the Rong clan's combat effectiveness before the war began, he only knew the horror of the enemy when he really fought.

Maybe it's because he is used to fighting in the wind before, and Xiao Jiu can still be at ease in the face of troops such as the Qingzhou Army and the Yuzhou Army in the Guan, which have little experience in big battles, but he really meets the battle-hardened tiger and wolf soldiers outside the Guan, and the Xiao Zi battalion under his command still has many shortcomings.

On the other hand, looking at the rear of the Rong army, watching his own fierce attack, Zong Yu's worries relaxed a little.

In this war, he still had many negligences, because the treacherous plan of the Central Plains people directly abolished his trump card cavalry before the war.

This made him realize that the princes of Guannai were not all soft persimmons, at least they would use stratagems to take advantage of some small advantages on the battlefield.

But war has always only relied on strength, and now that the Rong army is pressing the other party, he can still win this war.

didn't wait for Zong Yu to be happy for too long, and a deafening cannon sound shattered his illusions.

Unlike the muffled sound of mine explosions, the sound of these cannons has a crispness that emanates from the barrels.

"Peng~"

Shells smaller than those used by red-coated cannons were fired from strangely shaped cars, killing and injuring a platoon of Rong soldiers after they landed.

This is naturally the new weapon that Xiao Jiu sent from Yangcheng County some time ago-tank.

These oddly shaped tanks are called tanks, but they are actually large wooden boxes with cannon barrels, but with an elongated barrel.

The barrel of the cannon was not just a flowering shell of a redcoat cannon, but a solid bullet with some iron sand.

The advent of this tank is also a brand-new weapon created by Xiao Jiu by borrowing the shape of the tank in the previous life and the effectiveness of the shotgun.

These new cannons are more agile than those of bulky cannons, and they can effectively kill enemies at short distances by borrowing the firing principle of shotguns.

The main thing is that the cannonballs are easy to make, as long as you make a solid cannonball and stuff it with enough iron sand.

The first time Xiao Jiu's secret weapon was officially put into the battlefield, it reaped the expected success.

Before the Rong soldiers who were pointed at the barrels of the guns could react, their bodies had already turned into a mess of minced flesh after a loud bang.

The Rong soldiers in the rear heard a deafening loud noise, and then their companions exploded in front of their eyes, and the scene was also quite shocking.
