Chapter 108: The War Begins

After Xiao Hongbo saw the flag of the Beiwangfu hanging on the wall of Beijun, he suddenly became extremely excited.

He said loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Yancheng is right in front of you!" Barbarian warriors, follow this king! ”

"If anyone can catch the King of the North! And the king rewarded him with ten beautiful concubines. A thousand cows and sheep! ”

After hearing Xiao Hongbo's words, the barbarian soldiers instantly became excited, and the barbarian army marched faster.

Meanwhile.

Xiao Pengtian saw that the barbarian soldiers in front of him were marching so fast all of a sudden, and he instantly felt very uneasy.

It's so quiet!

The Mannings Valley is so quiet!

The silence is suffocating and dreary.

Even if the North King was really guarding Yancheng, waiting for the barbarian attack, it would not be that there was no obstacle in the Wanning River Valley to stop the barbarian army.

Xiao Pengtian had fought with the Great Xia army before, and knew the situation of the Great Xia army, when the Great Xia army was defending the city, it would inevitably create some obstacles in front of the city to prevent the cavalry from advancing.

In the past, they went south to rob things, but they still robbed some small cities, and the soldiers of those small cities created obstacles to prevent the barbarian cavalry from advancing, but the defenders of Yancheng would not?

Is this normal?

It's definitely not normal.

Xiao Pengtian was very suspicious that the defenders of Yancheng were deliberately letting them get close to Yancheng, or that they were deliberately letting them into the Wanning River Valley.

Xiao Pengtian thought in his heart, I hope he thought too much, if the defenders of Yancheng really deliberately let them into the Wanning River Valley, then it would be a big trouble.

At this moment, the barbarian army was about to enter the city.

The soldiers in Yancheng are already ready, and the soldiers of the artillery battalions on both sides of the Wanning River Valley have also adjusted the angle of the howitzers, and now they are only waiting for Lu Chen to give orders.

As the black-pressed barbarian cavalry got closer and closer, the sound of the cavalry's rumbling hooves became louder and louder, and under the influence of this sound, people's hearts couldn't help but speed up.

Lu Chen personally came to a howitzer, and then adjusted the angle of the howitzer and aimed it at Xiao Hongbo's position.

Lu Chen didn't plan to talk about martial arts, nor did he plan to capture Xiao Hongbo alive, anyway, if he could be killed by shelling, it would be better to kill him by shelling.

Xiao Hongbo naturally saw those howitzers on the city wall, but they didn't care, they all thought it was just a catapult.

For these grandmaster-level powerhouses, the catapult was not a threat at all, and they just rushed straight up.

Looking at the barbarian army that was getting closer and closer, Lu Chen felt that it was almost there, and then directly pulled the cannon bolt.

The next moment, a 122mm grenade flew directly into the air, and then smashed into Xiao Hongbo in the form of a parabola Several barbarian important people in front of them.

As a powerhouse at the grandmaster level, Xiao Hongbo naturally noticed this cannonball, but in his opinion, it was just a stone.

Just when Xiao Hongbo was about to make a move to smash the stone with an axe, Xian Jia, the barbarian general next to Xiao Hongbo, kicked his legs and jumped directly from the horse more than ten meters high.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen was stunned, is this the true strength of the grandmaster, he can actually jump so high just by relying on the strength of his body.

But at this moment, Xian Jia used the giant axe in his hand to slash at the howitzer shell.

However, the next moment, the howitzer exploded directly.

Rumble......

With a deafening explosion, the body of the grandmaster-level barbarian general Xian Jia was directly torn apart.

With the explosion of the howitzer, the soldiers in front of Xiao Hongbo and them were killed and injured countless times in an instant, and Xiao Hongbo and another barbarian grandmaster were also blown out a few meters away by the explosion.

The originally excited barbarian army was instantly awakened.

They finally realized that something was wrong.

The barbarian army, which was marching at great speed, suddenly stopped, and the entire army was in chaos.

"Oh my God! What was that just now! ”

"Big ...... Grand Master! Could it be that there is a great master in Yancheng! ”

"The king is injured!"

"We want to avenge the king!"

"Kill, !!"

……

The barbarian army, which was already chaotic, paused for a moment, and directly launched a charge, which Lu Chen did not expect.

But this is not surprising, after all, it is just a shell, and they have not yet realized the horror of howitzers.

Lu Chen admires their courage very much, but sometimes they are too reckless, and it is not a good thing.

Lu Chen then said loudly: "Launch!" ”

The next moment, the archers on the ramparts went on the attack together with the artillerymen.

Countless arrows rained down from the sky.

And the howitzer also exploded in the barbarian army, after the grenade exploded, the people and horses were shattered, and the Wanning River Valley was too narrow, and it was a large area when it exploded.

For a time, the barbarian soldiers suffered numerous casualties.

Meanwhile.

The artillery battalions lying in ambush on both sides of the Wanning River Valley did not attack immediately, they were waiting, waiting for Xiao Pengtian and his 50,000 soldiers to enter their firing range.

At this time, Xiao Pengtian found that the barbarian army in front of him was in chaos in an instant, and he immediately understood that something should have happened.

He didn't frown, turned around without hesitation, and immediately said to the soldiers behind him: "Guard against you!" Get ready to charge! ”

Xiao Pengtian's reaction speed was extremely fast, and he didn't even wait for the black cavalry to come out, he realized that they were about to be surrounded.

Seeing that Xiao Pengtian and they were already vigilant, an artilleryman said to Mu Jingwu beside him: "Captain Mu, if you don't attack now, the shells in Yancheng will be all over later." ”

There were not many howitzers in Yancheng, and most of the howitzer shells were given to the artillery on both sides of the Wanning River Valley.

Mu Jingwu glanced at Xiao Pengtian's 50,000 soldiers, and then said loudly: "The whole battalion is ready!" Fire! ”

At the sound of an order, dozens of shells fell into the barbarian army, the stumps and broken arms of the barbarian cavalry were blown up all over the sky, and the soil on the ground also flew up more than ten meters high, and some of the barbarian cavalry were directly buried alive by the exploding soil.

This explosion was not far from Xiao Pengtian and them, and after seeing the tragic situation of the army in front, the 50,000 barbarian soldiers behind Xiao Pengtian were all frightened and retreated.

"O wolf god! What kind of weapon is that! ”

"When did Great Xia have such a terrifying weapon!"

"General, we've been fooled!"

"General, let's get out of here!"

……

Seeing the barbarian soldiers flying all over the sky, Xiao Pengtian certainly understood that they had been fooled, and the most important thing now was to guard the retreat channel in the rear, so as to ensure that their barbarian cavalry could withdraw from the Wanning River Valley.

Otherwise, under the bombardment of the mysterious weapons of Great Xia, their 300,000 barbarian cavalry would probably have to be confessed in the Wanning River Valley.

Seeing that Xiao Pengtian was preparing to retreat with an army of 50,000, the artillerymen on both sides of the Wanning River Valley were in a hurry, it was an army of tens of thousands of barbarians, how could they let them run.

Immediately, some artillery soldiers immediately adjusted the direction of the howitzers and opened fire on Xiao Pengtian's 50,000 troops.

When a cannonball exploded in the crowd, in an instant, Xiao Pengtian's 50,000 army was directly in chaos.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Pengtian knew that he had to withdraw quickly, and he immediately said loudly: "Withdraw!" The whole army retreats! ”

Immediately afterwards, the herald took out his horn and blew the horn of retreat.

Woo woo~~~~!!!
