Chapter 13: Charge
"Bang!"
A fireball shot out from above the city, like a meteor, and instantly fell on one of the cavalrymen.
This cavalry wears three sets of armor, and in the middle is a set of several pieces of silk products, the armor can block blunt attacks, and the silk products are quite tough, which is the best material to prevent arrow wounds, if the two are combined, just like the composite armor, not only can resist artillery attacks, even the so-called long arrow attacks, will be completely ineffective, it is difficult to rise to the Mongol warriors.
But the tough armor could not withstand the artillery fire after all, and turned into a puddle of debris.
"Boom, boom!"
A flurry of artillery rang out again, and it fell again towards the army.
In order to ensure its safety, Xiao Feng not only equipped all the latest Krup cannons that had just been manufactured here, but also allocated as many as 300 tiger squat cannons to be placed on the city.
Round after round, these tiger squatting cannons formed a tight net of fire, blocking all the soldiers in front of Tongguan, making them like pebbles, unable to withstand the impact of the huge iron hammer.
"How is that possible? I have already transferred the opponent's main force away, why does the opponent still have such fierce firepower?"
Quite surprised in his heart, Tahai's heart was already full of fear.
He is also a veteran general who has been in war for a long time, but the battle scene in front of him exceeded his expectations.
There were no sharp arrows falling from the sky, no huge rubble, only projectiles that swept everything, and the terrible howls after being shot, all of which made him feel unusually uncomfortable.
"Come out, come out for me. Why don't you just hide behind the city walls, why don't you come out and fight me?"
With a strong bow in hand, Tahai scolded loudly, his eyes wide as he swept everything in front of him, as if he wanted to find a possible enemy.
But he was destined to be disappointed, for there was nothing but the whistling projectiles.
Hand-to-hand combat, after all, has become a thing of the past!
The constant roar made Tahai's vocal cords a little hoarse, he was already tired, and he ran for a long time but did not find the enemy he was fighting against, which undoubtedly made him feel conflicted, and his mind was on the verge of collapse, and suddenly with a "boom", a cannonball swept past Tahai's side, directly hitting a guard on his side, and countless blood splashed on the ground, and also splashed on Tahai's face.
"Ah......h
Swept away by this blood mist, Tahai immediately became afraid.
He felt the pungent smell of gunpowder all around his body, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable, the intermittent deafening sound made him feel his heart tremble violently, and it was almost impossible to breathe, and even the thick smoke and dust in front of his eyes made it difficult to discern the location of the enemy in the distance.
All this is not quite the same as the battle he once had!
Why!
Why didn't those people go into battle?
Ta Hai raised his head slightly, his eyes were a little confused and looked into the distance, but the dense smoke and dust obscured his realization, so that he couldn't see the location of Tongguan clearly at all, and could only rely on his previous combat instinct.
But the weapons have changed, the way of fighting has also changed, relying on the previous martial arts and fighting instincts, can it really replace rational judgment?
Tahai, who didn't know how artillery and hand cannons should be used, was already unfamiliar with the scene in front of him, and he couldn't figure out what he should do at this moment, so that he could completely disappear from this battlefield filled with gunpowder!
100 people chopped?
10,000 enemies?
For some reason, Tahai suddenly felt uncontrollable irony at this moment, feeling like a fool who had been fooled, completely unaware of what to do!
That's right!
Escape!
I can still escape, so at least there will be a comeback!
"Quick! Retreat. Don't keep pestering, get out of here quickly. ”
Finally sensing the danger, Tahai hurriedly gave an order, but the roar of the cannon had completely covered his voice, and no matter how much he shouted, he could not make those soldiers recover.
The soldiers he brought were just ordinary soldiers stationed here before, and they were different from the elite soldiers and strong generals under Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou who had fought fiercely with the Red Phoenix Army, but now they were covered by a series of artillery cannons, and they had already completely lost their minds.
They ran back and forth over the battlefield, running non-stop, as if they could avoid the judges of the underworld.
They didn't know what to do, but the strong light and rumbling sound made them panic, thinking that it was the anger of the gods, and even more so they had already fallen to their knees on the ground, chanting words in their mouths, as if they were praying to the Buddhas of the Western Heavens and the gods of the heavens, praying to escape from the battlefield of Senluo.
It seems that everyone is stunned, Tahai also feels a little caught off guard, the army under his command has also fought against the Song army, but the Song army's armament is far inferior to the Chifeng army, just the use of the two firearms is very different, it can only be said that the height difference between Yao Ming and Guo Jingming, can not be compared together at all.
From the side, several severed limbs passed in front of his eyes, which terrified Tahai even more.
"No matter. I'd better get out of here quickly. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I will really die here. ”
Tahai hurriedly reined in the war horse, only then did he dodge a cannonball, looking at the broken corpses all over the ground, he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly turned around and ran towards the distance with the guards around him, and the distance was the place of Hezhong Mansion, as for the soldiers behind him, he didn't care.
The important thing is that you can survive.
That's enough!
As for Song Zizhen in the other battlefield, Tahai didn't have the slightest interest in dominating, so he went all out to urge the war horse under his crotch and ran towards Hezhong Mansion vigorously.
As if sensing something, Song Zijie swept the army in the distance, and saw that after Tahai fled, the five thousand soldiers and horses collapsed instantly.
They stood there in a daze, not knowing what they should do, whether to continue to fight the Red Phoenix Army and be killed by the firearms? Or did they just lay down their weapons and become prisoners of the Red Phoenix Army? Or they could find a place to break out, and as for whether they would live or die afterwards, it would be up to fate!
I don't know, I don't understand, these people just stay on the battlefield, completely forgetting the previous orders!
"That guy escaped?" his eyebrows moved slightly, Song Zizhen shouted, immediately abandoned the person in front of him, and galloped in front of Tahai: "You just ran away like this?
Tahai sneered, slashed out the scimitar in his hand, and shouted, "Get out of the way!" The silver mangs shot at a glance, and immediately swept towards Song Zizhen.
Song Zizhen knew that his body had not recovered yet and did not dare to block it, so he immediately leaned back, staggering the silver ray, and then Mo Yun grabbed the other party directly with all his strength, and shouted: "Then what about these soldiers?
"Hmph! It's just some Han slaves, who die and die, and then they will continue to collect it. Tahai shouted contemptuously, and when he saw that the other party actually used his palm against him, he felt even more annoyed, and shouted: "As for you, if you continue to block my way, aren't you afraid that I will sue Chahan and punish you for the crime of great disrespect?"
"Hmph, then what is it if you abandon the army and run away? If you stab this matter, you will have to go to the prison like me. Song Zijie had hard bones, he was not frightened by the other party's threats, and he scolded again and again in his mouth, and did not hesitate to point out the mistakes of the other party.
Ta Hai was also stunned, and then laughed contemptuously: "Oh? Then have you forgotten the incident of the hijacking of the ship in the first place? If you hadn't left the ship for some reason, we would have been able to capture the opponent's warship smoothly! Otherwise, why would you do such a time-wasting move here? And judging by your original performance, could it be that you were colluding with the Red Phoenix Army? You should know that if I report this matter to Chahan, then you are afraid that it will be really dangerous." ”
This statement immediately made Song Zizhen stunned, and her face flashed with either anger or fear.
Who doesn't know that the current Chahan is the elder brother of the current Great Khan Guiyou, and as Chahan, who controls all the military power of the Central Plains generation, Kuoduan can be said to be a man of his word in the entire Central Plains generation, and no one can resist.
Although he Song Zizhen is a genius, if he angers Kuoduan, he will also be arrested and executed.
There is no doubt about that!
After all, the crime of colluding with the Red Phoenix Army is not a trivial matter!
"Of course, if you are willing to follow me obediently, maybe I will help you solve this matter. But if you continue to stop me, then don't blame me!" Tahai continued, his voice unusually arrogant.
In desperation, Song Zizhen had no choice but to make a way for Tahai to leave this place quickly, and after a while, only a black shadow remained.
In the distance, when those soldiers saw Tahai leaving, they felt even more desperate in their hearts, and they couldn't help but throw down their weapons and completely give up resistance.
Song Zijie bit his silver teeth, slapped his horse and came to everyone, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Everyone, don't give up your efforts." If you want to live, follow me!" Seeing Wang Zhu coming from afar, his chin was slightly cocked, and he aimed the tip of his spear at Wang Zhu with a slight provocation, and immediately shouted: "Rush!" At the sound of an order, the rest of the people drove the war horse under their crotch, and rushed towards the distance with four hooves.
In the distance, Wang Zhu looked strange, and hurriedly stabilized the war horse under his crotch, and also ordered the soldiers around him, and said: "Everyone, all rush with me! Don't let these people underestimate the momentum of our Red Phoenix Army!"
In an instant, the two armies staggered, and thousands of guns rang out, mixed with the sound of swords and swords, just to decide the final victory.
