Chapter 235: Gunpowder

The next moment, a dense rain of rockets suddenly shot out directly from the infantry formation of Zilong's army.

This dense rain of rockets shot at least three waves, totaling about 10,000 shots, and in an instant, it was all over the cavalry array.

These Ashig cavalry thought that the enemy wanted to defeat the enemy with rockets, so they took up their shields and tried their best to cover themselves.

Although the power of such a hanging rocket falling from the sky is good, as long as you take the blocking angle of the shield well, the loss will not be too great.

Therefore, after more than 10,000 arrows, the 5,000 cavalry suffered only a small amount of damage.

At this time, these cavalrymen were wondering what this enemy meant, and one of the cavalrymen suddenly shouted: "Gunpowder, gunpowder, run!

After finishing speaking, before the others could react, they heard a loud rumbling noise.

These cavalrymen couldn't help but be a little confused, not knowing where this loud noise came from.

But although the cavalry was stunned, the horses they sat on had already discovered the danger, and they were all jumping indiscriminately, and the rocket rain was constantly pouring down, and the rumbling sound was endless.

After a while, bursts of thick black smoke filled the air, enveloping the battle formation of the five thousand cavalry, and the five thousand cavalry were killed countless times.

Zilong actually knows that although this gunpowder can play a role in killing the enemy, he is afraid that he will not be able to annihilate all the enemy horses!

Therefore, after the gunpowder exploded and the black smoke filled the air, Zilong immediately ordered a cavalry of more than 1,000 to be near the enemy formation, and after the explosion, he would rush up and kill him, surrender to avoid death, and the rest would be killed.

The tribal cavalry on both wings, who were originally preparing to make a detour to the Zilong main formation, saw the tragic situation of the cavalry of Ahige's cronies, and couldn't help but stop the momentum of the charge, and looked at the Zilong main formation with a clear banner from a distance, and couldn't help but be full of fear, afraid that there would be a wave of bull and horse gunpowder rushing out from the opposite side.

The tribal leaders were timid, and the warriors under their command didn't want to fight anymore, so the two wings stayed on the edge of the battlefield like this, but they were like mud tires and wood sculptures!

Ahige originally thought that the three-way cavalry army was marching, and on this vast field, the enemy would be defeated! Suddenly, the form took a sharp turn, and the 5,000 cronies cavalry were directly blown up by the inexplicable oxen and horse gunpowder array, and the tribal cavalry on both flanks were also shocked and stood on the spot.

Now there are only more than 10,000 foot soldiers left in the Chinese army tent of Ashig, and there are only 3,000 cronies of these more than 10,000 foot soldiers, so how to break the enemy?

Thinking of this, Asig was distraught.

Looking at the army of Zilong with a clear banner, I hated it so much.

Elode was calmer and faster, although he was also shocked, but he also knew that this was not the time to mess up, and most of the five thousand cronies and cavalry could not be counted on at this time, but if this battle was to win, it was not impossible, as long as the cavalry on both wings continued to attack, the 10,000 infantry troops of the Chinese army could follow, and the three parties could win together!

After listening to this, Ashig said, "Elode, do you think that our five thousand cronies are gone, and those tribal leaders will continue to listen to our orders?

"Enter the Great Wall!" Ilede didn't have time to speak, but it was Wu Zhengfang who said.

He is Wu Lenghui's elder brother, and he should have belonged to the faction of the Great Heavenly King, but at this time, the Great Heavenly King has already become an ancient, and he also made a decision on the spot and directly worships Ashig as the master! Although he was also frightened at this time, after all, he was not in his position, he did not seek his government, and he did not know the difficulties and dangers.

I only knew that I still had 20,000 troops in my hands, including 10,000 cavalry, and under the bloody battle, I should be able to break the enemy.

"Hmph! It's so simple!" Ahig smiled miserably and said, "Even if we win this battle, we will win a miserable victory! When the time comes, the strength in our hands will be damaged, and we will not be able to attack the Great Wall in the front, and we will not be able to return to the grassland to replenish the supply, and we will definitely be annexed by Ordos and become their vassals!"

"Ah, didn't this Ordos sign an alliance with Lord Ashige and make each other an offensive and defensive alliance?" Wu Zhengfang couldn't help but say anxiously when he heard this.

"Hmph, if a covenant can be counted, then why do you want war? Besides, if the Ordos Ministry really cares about us as an ally, and if they have damaged 500 people last time, can they ignore our call for help? They are just using us!" said Ashig angrily.

At this time, Elode also gradually understood, this battle has been undefeated and defeated! If he fights by force, even if he defeats Xu Zilong on the other side, he will not be able to grab more rights and satisfy the ambition in his heart, in the grassland, the most important thing is actually the men and horses under his command, if there is too much damage, he can only become a prisoner of others. As the young master of the Mandulu tribe who was defeated that year, Ahig naturally understands this truth!

If you force the war to continue, it will only be cheaper for Ordos or Daming, and Ashige will naturally not be like this. Ilad couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said, "Then I wonder what Lord Ahig is going to do?"

"Now that the tide is gone, we can't continue to fight against those rebels! We directly called the leaders of the various divisions and asked them if they were willing to follow us! If they were willing, they directly ordered him to purge his subordinates and listen to our orders to withdraw to the west! If they were unwilling, they would be killed on the spot and then annexed to the troops! Understood?" In an instant, Ashige thought of firmly controlling the remaining 20,000 horses, and then retreated west to Ordos, thinking that he would be able to turn over in the future.

At this time, on the battlefield ahead, the Zilong army was not moving, and the cavalry of the two tribes was the same, they were all on alert.

Hearing Ahig's order, Elod thought for a moment, and then vaguely understood, when he summoned his henchmen, he ambushed the two of them, and then summoned the leaders of the various departments.

These leaders didn't think too much about it, but when they saw the gunpowder explode in front of them, which wiped out Ashige's 5,000-strong army, they thought that Ahig was looking for himself and others to discuss the attack, but they didn't think much about it, so they came directly.

After many leaders arrived, Wu Zhengfang replaced Ashige and read his meaning directly, but these leaders all exploded.

These people are only the leaders of these clan warriors, but they are not the leaders of the tribes.

Originally, if Ashig defeated the Zilong army, and then broke through the Great Wall with the power of a great victory, and everyone returned to attack the grassland, it would be a good way.

But now, listening to what Ashige said, he gave up everything in the grassland and went to the Ordos Department with him, which is no different from exile.

Without the Heavenly King faction and the foundation of the grassland, Ashige naturally wants to go into exile.

But although these leaders are not tribal leaders, they are also high-ranking officials in various ministries, how can they give up their position on the grassland and run to join Ordos with Ahige?

Even though nearly half of the leaders opposed Ashige's proposal.

Wu Zhengfang laughed cruelly, and directly ordered his cronies and disciples to directly hack to death more than half of the dozen or so clan leaders.

The rest of the leaders were silent, knowing that with the martial arts of themselves and others, even if they didn't rely on those cronies and disciples of the Heavenly King Sect, the three of Ashig could also be taken down.

What's more, at this time, they are deeply trapped in Ashig's territory, and they also know that they can only submit to Ashig!

Even if they all agreed to Ashig's proposal, they wanted to go back to restrain their subordinates and go with Ashig wholeheartedly.

Ashige also knew that most of these people were still not loyal enough, so he sent his cronies to follow them back separately and restrain his subordinates to vote.

In this way, on this battlefield, except for the place filled with smoke and dust, it actually fell into an eerie tranquility!

After Zilong returned to his main formation, after seeing that he had successfully blown up a cavalry army of 5,000, he thought that Ashig would be annoyed and angry, and ordered the remaining 20,000 troops to kill together.

Unexpectedly, he waited left and right, but he didn't wait for Ashig's posture of attacking.

It seems that something is wrong with Ashige on the other side.

Zilong was puzzled, and unconsciously gathered his subordinates, including Wan'er, Ren Bufan and others, to come and discuss together, what is this Ahig doing!

"I think they have been deprived of their morale by us, and they can't be killed again for a while!" It was Elder Chen who spoke, although the people in the beggar gang were all from the martial arts, but the beggar gang has always had a tradition of fighting with the Ming army, Elder Chen's martial arts are good, and he has also been to the nine sides many times to cooperate with the Ming army to fight, and he is to use some rough military techniques.

"I don't see it!" Jiang Yunsong shook his head and said, "I watched the enemy from a high place, and found that the morale of the three cavalry armies that had just rushed over was low on both wings, but the one in the middle was like a rainbow!

"Yun Song, what do you mean?" Zilong had a guess, but listening to Jiang Yunsong's analysis at this time, it gradually became a little clearer.

"I suspect that the 5,000 cavalry in the middle has been annihilated, and Ashig's cronies are not enough to control the overall situation! So now is the time for the enemy army to be in civil strife!" Jiang Yunsong directly said his thoughts when he heard this.

"I think General Jiang's idea is good! But there is a slight deviation!" Wan'er also smiled when she heard this, and when she saw that everyone was looking at her, she immediately smiled lightly and said, "General Jiang is judging from our strategy, the grassland warriors' hearts to resist war! I am starting from the heart of this person! What this man just said is obviously ambitious, and he intends to bind the tribal warriors under his command and fight to the death for him! However, the premise of this to make others loyal must be that he has enough strength! This Ashige's strength has now been wiped out by 5,000, and the tribal warriors are all war-weary at this time, otherwise it is impossible for morale to be low and patrol on both sides!

"Take power!" Zilong also had a bright eye when he heard this, and said categorically.

"That's right!Big Brother Zilong is right!" Wan'er glanced at Zilong approvingly, and then said excitedly, "So this is the reason why the enemy army did not move after the 5,000-strong army was blown up, and it was faintly unstable!"

"So what should I do now?" The one who asked was Elder Baili, he was good at the art of Qihuang, but he was not good at the art of war.
