31 Pilot

Hearing King Zhao's words, Xie Qinghui was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask again: "But where are there soldiers and horses in the Jinling area now, can the emperor still give up the guards of the imperial city and hand over the only bit of forbidden army to his father to command?" King Zhao shook his head slowly, and said in a deep voice: "The forbidden army is basically some veterans with a bit of a way, or the sons of the eunuchs in the court, they have been pampered for many years, and they can't go to the real battlefield at all. Even if his father was willing to hand over the forbidden army to General Xie to command, he would be powerless in the face of this 'corpse army' at the moment. ”

Speaking of this, King Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out: "Yes, this king also just remembered that at this time, there seems to be another soldier and horse in Jinling City, which is a newly established army." It's just that...... It's just ......" he said two "just" in a row, his face became more and more ugly, and the rest of the words were no longer said.

Just as everyone was talking, the war horse that Xie Fengxuan had snatched was hit by seven or eight more arrows, and finally overwhelmed and collapsed to the ground with a neigh. And Xie Fengxuan was only a few dozen steps away from the woods to the east, so he immediately unfolded his body and rushed forward, hiding in the woods before the next round of arrows fired. Later, the front team of this "corpse army" also rushed to the forest, although they refused to let go of the first general of the Han people, but all the sergeants grabbed the reins, stopped their horses and hesitated to enter the forest to chase after them. After half a ring, the leader who seemed to be hidden among the sergeants once again passed down the order, and the entire "corpse army" of 5,000 people was divided into two teams, with the 1,000 sergeants of the front team chasing into the woods to capture Xie Fengxuan, and the other 4,000 people were waiting outside the forest to answer in case Xie Fengxuan set up an ambush in the woods.

The brothers and sisters Xie Yixiang and Xie Qinghui on the mountain wall in the distance couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this "corpse army" as King Zhao expected, and really entered the forest to chase after them. It can be seen that King Zhao's speculation is very likely to be true, and this mysterious army is only afraid that there is a deep grudge between this mysterious army and his father, so even if he wants to venture into the forest, he must put his father to death.

As a result, everyone could no longer see the situation in the woods, and the entire "corpse army" was only 4,000 people waiting outside. When all the 1,000 foreign sergeants in the front team had entered the forest, and after about a cup of tea, a muffled sound came from the woods, echoing over the entire forest for a long time. Then the neighing of horses came from the woods, and dozens of horses scrambled out of the woods, which were the mounts of the thousand sergeants who had entered the forest, but the horses were empty.

In this way, it shows that Xie Fengxuan's previous single-rider charge and killing people were just a pretense. And his real purpose is to use himself as bait to trick this "corpse army" into his ambush. However, everyone on the mountain wall in the distance could only hear the sound in the woods, and they didn't know what the ambush set up by General Xie in the forest was, so they had to look at King Zhao on the side. General Najing couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask the prince, listening to the sound coming from the woods, is it actually the roar of firearms?" Xie Qinghui also asked: "The prince just said that in addition to the forbidden army in Jinling City, there is actually another newly established army, is it the men and horses who are ambushed in the woods right now? But the last general thought about it, and he couldn't think of when a new army was formed in Jinling City?"

Hearing everyone's inquiry, King Zhao couldn't help but take a deep breath and replied slowly: "This matter is extremely secret, and the imperial court has never announced it to the outside world, even this king only vaguely hears some rumors; After that, he couldn't help but sigh and said with a wry smile: "What a great General Xie Fengxuan Xie, he is really bold, this time he really brought the newly established Imperial City Guard Army's 'Piloting Battalion' to the battlefield!"

It turned out that the Xiyi Zhenren of Taiyuan Guan and Han Feng, the commander of the forbidden army, conspired to make a rebellion, and led the forbidden army to the Jinling Imperial City, although it was finally resolved peacefully, but the emperor was angry, and he also knew that the guards in Jinling City were too weak, so while the establishment of the forbidden army was abolished, he secretly prepared an imperial city guard army of 2,000 people, all equipped with the most sophisticated firearms in the world, "Three-eyed Firearms", called the "Aircraft Battalion". Among them, the word "control" is taken from the meaning of control, and the word "machine" refers to the spring of a firearm.

And Xie Fengxuan got the news this time, knowing that the "corpse army" that had formed a mortal enmity with him had quietly infiltrated the Central Plains, intending to sneak attack the Jinling Imperial City, and the situation could be described as extremely critical. He knew that the emperor could no longer trust him, not only did he refuse to let him regain military power, but he might not even take this matter seriously, so in a hurry, he relied on his prestige in the court and the army to privately transfer 800 soldiers from the newly established "Aircraft Battalion" to intercept this "corpse army" on the way. Under Xie Fengxuan's arrangement, almost all of these 800 soldiers were ambushed in the woods to the east, and when the 1,000 sergeants in the front team of the "corpse army" chased into the woods, the soldiers of the "Piloting Battalion" hiding in the trees appeared and bombarded these foreign sergeants with the "three-eyed firearms" that had already been loaded.

It is said that the power of firearms is extremely great, and it has long been used by the army of this dynasty on the battlefield, but in the face of the unparalleled cavalry and archery skills of the foreign army of the previous dynasty, it actually does not have much advantage. Because first, the range of the firebolt is far less than that of the bow and arrow, and before the foreign soldiers enter the range of the firebolt, their arrows have already been shot one step ahead; second, every time the firebolt is fired, they have to stop and reload the ammunition, how can they shoot several arrows in one breath with bows such as "meteor catching the moon" and "continuous bead arrows"? Therefore, if the men and horses on both sides are fighting in the wilderness, the role of the firebolt is naturally far less than that of the bow and arrow. The reason why the army of this dynasty was able to successfully rise up in Jiangnan and establish its own political power to confront the alien races of the previous dynasty across the river was that in the final analysis, it was by virtue of the unique geographical advantages of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and relied on water warfare and street warfare to limit the cavalry and archery skills of the alien races of the previous dynasty to the greatest extent, so that they could defeat the other party with firearms.

As for the 800 soldiers of the "Aircraft Piloting Battalion" brought by Xie Fengxuan this time, although they are equipped with "Three-Eyed Firearms" that can send out three ammunition at the same time, they will never be the opponent of these 5,000 "corpse army" in a head-on battle in the wilderness. Even if an ambush is set up on the mountain walls on both sides of the "Plum Blossom Valley" where King Zhao's army is located at this moment, this "corpse army" only needs to pass through this three-mile-long valley at full speed, and only with a round of bombardment by the soldiers of the 800 "Piloting Battalion", it will not be able to kill or injure many enemy troops, and when the other party comes to his senses, he will be able to slaughter all the 800 soldiers on his side.

So Xie Fengxuan could only use the woods to the east to let the soldiers of the "Piloting Battalion" ambush them, and use the hatred of this "corpse army" for himself to lure them into the woods. Sure enough, although the other party did not dare to rush into the forest, because of the blood feud that year, he still sent a thousand sergeants from the front team into the forest to chase after him, and suddenly fell into the ambush of the "Aircraft Battalion".

With the "Three-Eyed Fire Gun" in the hands of the soldiers of the "Piloting Battalion" showing their might, in the roar, most of the 1,000 foreign sergeants who entered the forest were killed and wounded. However, it is now the depths of winter, and although there are many evergreen pines and cypresses in this forest, there are more bare dead trees. At this time, all the 800 soldiers of the "Piloting Battalion" appeared, but in a moment, they were seen through the reality by the 4,000 alien sergeants who stayed outside the woods to respond, and knew that there were only six or seven hundred people under the command of General Xie, and the so-called ambush was nothing more than that.

Therefore, when the 1,000 men and horses in the front team were almost dead and wounded, the "three-eyed firearms" of the soldiers of the "Piloting Battalion" in the woods had also completed a whole round of bombardment, and they stopped to reload their ammunition. Taking advantage of this air raid, the remaining "corpse army" outside the woods had already received the order of the leader, and immediately spurred their horses, stretched their bows and arrows, and rushed into this woods, and actually wanted to kill Xie Fengxuan and his six or seven hundred people who were ambushed in the woods with their own 4,000 troops.
