Chapter 219: The Battle of the Three Kings

Time passed little by little.

In the evening, from the borders of King Gong, there were sporadic gunshots.

Then came the earth-shattering sound.

On the border line from King Shun to King Gong's territory, a large number of soldiers were killed, with cavalry in front and infantry behind.

They rushed out of the border like a tidal wave, killing anyone they saw.

The soldiers of the Jia Dynasty guarding the border were unable to organize any effective defense at all, and were immediately killed!

Ye Lie was awakened by the news of the first line of defense. Open your eyes and quickly change into your armor.

It wasn't that he didn't expect King Gong to attack at night, so he slept very lightly.

At this time, he walked out of the camp with a special musket in his hand, a sword pinned to his waist, and a spear on his back.

The position of their commander-in-chief was in the mountains. So you can see the state of the first line of defense very clearly.

The procession of King Gong and King Shun rushed out like a tide.

The sporadic resistance made them more and more rampant.

Capture the village, capture the small castle.

However, to Ye Lie's relief, he actually found that there was a musket team rushing to the front!

This should have been in ambush for a long time for King Gong!

If they hadn't made a strategy of concentrating their main forces on the second line of defense, it was estimated that they would have succeeded in a sneak attack by this small team!

"The musketeers were designed for their infantry concentrations, firing in ten phalanxes."

Ye Lie ordered, "All soldiers, prepare to fight back!" ”

"When the cavalry sees the fire, they rush towards the fire!"

He took it very calmly, and then took his musket and killed the soldiers of the command behind him.

He wants all his soldiers to know that he is with them!

"Bang ......"

Muskets continued to fire, and both sides were firing.

The rain of arrows in the sky was accompanied by the sound of muskets.

The infantry struggled forward with shields.

The cavalry, on the other hand, found the location of the opponent's musketeers and charged like crazy.

Ye Lie personally stood on the front line and shot with a musket.

Then picking up his spear and fighting the rushing enemy, he stood by his own soldiers, constantly fighting.

Throughout the night, the troops of King Gong and King Shun fought five times successively, but none of them could shake the second line of defense of the Jia Dynasty.

This is the most tragic part of this war!

At dawn, both sides retreated and set up camp.

"Grandma drops, so you can fight?"

King Gong frowned, and was discussing with King Shun in the camp.

"What about the boy of the King of Stability?"

King Gong watched for a long time, but he didn't see the shadow of King Anding.

Now is not the time for a sneak attack, all the large armies have begun to confront each other, sending small teams to test each other.

And all the armies have been assembled and deployed.

"I don't know, I didn't see them all night."

King Shun spoke.

"Your Highnesses, we are belated, please forgive your sins."

Linghe walked in and said, "We have been fighting the enemy's cavalry all night, and the losses are a bit too much. ”

As he spoke, he showed an uncomfortable expression, "The loss is great. ”

"How many do you have left?"

"There are less than two thousand musketeers."

Linghe said and sighed.

"Fortunately, after all, the cavalry did restrain the musketeers. What about the King of Stability? ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Anding, I am not feeling well, so I can't come."

Linghe explained, "It's up to the ministers to lead the army. ”

"Okay, then your team will be with my musket team and go to the front line to defend."

King Gong said and nodded, "Now the loss is clear. ”

He had already learned about the loss from the Black Tiger.

Because his musket team was in a relatively backward position, he did not lose much, and there were still four thousand eight.

The rest of the regular troops, the infantry suffered serious losses.

Of the 50,000 infantry, only 30,000, archers and cavalry were better preserved.

For the regular team, King Gong still has 60,000 left, and King Shun's side has a lot of losses, with nearly 100,000 people in the team, half of which remains.

So they combined, there are only about 120,000 people.

Ye Lie is also quite tragic here.

300,000 troops, more than half of the losses of the musketeers.

In contrast, archers and infantry, as well as cavalry, are quite well preserved.

There are still nearly 230,000 people on the entire front.

It is said that it is a loss, but in fact, it cannot be accurately described as a casualty.

The soldiers in these ranks are all people.

Especially the Grand Legion Battle.

It's not good to look at the front from behind, and many will run away directly.

Therefore, the casualties in the losses are actually a minority, and the rout is the majority.

After the two sides stabilized the battle line, they began to gather the deserters and reorganize to prepare for the next battle.

At this time, Ye Lie's camp was in the camp.

"The loss is so big, I can't afford to fight for a long time."

Ye Lie said with a frown.

After a tense and exciting night, Ye Lie's body was also covered with blood.

Of course, none of this blood stain was his.

The armor on his body protects him well.

At the same time, he also found an important point.

He was not without a shot in last night's battle, and several dents in the cuirass prove everything.

But he wasn't hurt.

"It seems that their muskets are not very good."

Ye Lie looked down at his armor and breathed a sigh of relief.

If the plate armor on his body can't withstand it, he can hold several funerals last night!

"You take a musket and try it."

Ye Lie had a whim, took off his armor, and asked a few of his generals to shoot at the armor.

"Your Majesty, by all means!"

"If their muskets are like ours and can't pierce armor, we just have the hoplites in front?"

Ye Lie frowned slightly, and when he saw that the strategists and lieutenant generals on the side stopped talking, he changed his words, "Where is the chariot team?" ”

"There's about a day to go."

"They'll be there soon, ten chariots." ”

"Well, when the chariot comes, it will attack in full force, and now stabilize the front."

Ye Lie nodded and said, "Is there any news from the Black Tiger?" ”

"Not yet, but the minister received this."

Shiratori said, bringing back the letter he had received from his men in front of him.

Above is King Gong's army configuration and last night's casualties.

"This black tiger."

Ye Lie said and smiled, "The one who came to deliver the letter, the next time you meet, let him pass the word, I am about to attack, let him run first." When this war is over, the Jingshi will meet each other. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief, there was a black tiger, and he didn't even need to send spies to know the configuration on the other side!

Of course, he still had to wait until the chariots came before attacking in full.

The previous plans of the pocket have been disrupted.

Under the night battle, many of his soldiers suffered the loss of muskets.

"Your Majesty, the minister remembers the tactics that Ye Yu used during the First War of the Southern Dynasties."

Bai Niao spoke slowly, he was also present at the time, and he was still under Liu Yuanshan's men.

Almost like Ye Lie, he saw the Jia Dynasty's million-strong army being defeated in its entirety.

"Huh?"

Ye Lie frowned, not knowing what the white bird meant.

"Does Your Majesty remember that Ye Yu's musket team was used to attack and charge."

This sentence suddenly woke up Ye Lie.

Ye Yu's musket team didn't use a phalanx like himself!

Even at close range, it has considerable combat effectiveness!
