The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 857
The battle outside the barracks was in full swing.

But at this moment, the hot air balloon of the Dali Army in the sky is afraid of the soaring cannon in the barracks, and dare not get too close.They could only watch Da Song's hot air balloon bombing their robes.

Some hot air balloons were trying to bypass the western sky cannon position to attack, but they didn't expect that the sky cannon cart was also equipped with wheels, and its moving speed was not slow.

After paying a heavy price, the Dali Army's hot air balloon finally accepted its fate.Only dare to stay outside the range of the sky cannon and watch.

He didn't leave because he was worried that the campaign would fail.When the time comes for the army to retreat, they still need to break up for the army.

This is something that the prince does not need to explain.

After the remaining cavalrymen of the Great Song Army and Hong Wutian and others rushed back to the barracks, Liu Hongyi smiled and shouted loudly: "Hit me hard!"

He couldn't help being excited.

Because even he himself did not expect that the soldiers would be able to stabilize the situation so quickly in the face of a surprise attack.

It can be said that the performance of the soldiers in this battle far exceeded his coach's expectations.

He didn't expect these garrison soldiers who hadn't been on the battlefield much to have such blood and courage.

But I didn't think about it, the patriotism that Zhao Dongting let them instill in the army had a great influence on these soldiers.

In the past, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty did not have faith, but now, they do.And their belief is the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty ruled by Zhao Dongting.

Get used to the old life of starvation and exhaustion.The current imperial court allows them and their families to have food and live in peace. They have a strong sense of gratitude to the Song court.

And the patriotism that Zhao Dongting instilled in the generals in the army sublimated their gratitude.

This sublimated consciousness allows them to overcome their fear of blood and death.

The Song army was fully fired.

A thunderstorm poured out of the camp.

The gunfire was dense like rain.

"I hit it!"

"I killed five!"

The Shenlong gunners and archers hiding behind the bunker seemed a little relaxed at the moment.

The Dali cavalry, who were blown out of formation by the thunderbolt in front of them and panicked, became their living targets.

A general shouted: "Brothers, treat the enemy army in front of you as a target in the camp! Hit them! Shoot them!"

Words like these made the soldiers feel more relaxed.

In this state of mind, marksmanship can undoubtedly be played better.

There are sharpshooters in the army who have even shot and killed dozens of people.

They were all fed with bullets in the barracks.Talented people, the lethality they can cause is really not comparable to that of a sharp archer.

This is the difference between hot weapons and cold weapons.

The loss of the Dali army is unknown.

All I know is that the camp is gradually filled with corpses.As far as the eye could see, there were soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Dali Army.

Although some soldiers in the Dali Army also carried Hong Tianlei, but at this moment, they couldn't throw Hong Tianlei behind the Song Army's bunker.

Because with their arm strength, they couldn't throw Hong Tianlei farther than the range of Shenlong Gun.But when he ran to the bunker, he couldn't avoid being shot.

Hurriedly out of the city, without the Dali army carrying the artillery cart with the army, it was impossible to pose much threat to the Song army at this time.

Gradually, after paying a huge loss, the Dali soldiers hesitated.

This hopeless attack, how long no army can last.

They may not all be afraid of death, but they definitely don't want to die in vain.

Wang Ziqian could see this.

He looked at the masters of the Military Academy next to him.

But these masters all turned their eyes away and didn't look at him.

Obviously, they were not willing to risk their lives to attack the Song Army camp.

"Withdraw!"

A hint of contempt flashed across the dry eyes of the prince, and he ordered coldly.

If there are masters who are willing to form a death squad, with their skills, they may still be able to break through the Song Army's defense line.Unfortunately, he ordered these people not to move.

Guigu Academy is Guigu Academy, and Pojun Academy is Pojun Academy.In Dali, it is equivalent to two yamen with completely different but equal status.

Although Wang Ziqian is the main general, he can't force these masters of the military academy.

The sound of gold ringing in the army.

The soldiers of Dali had been looking forward to hearing this sound for a long time, and immediately retreated down the mountain like a tide.

This battle of attacking the Song camp has continued until now, and they have already paid a lot of unnecessary casualties.

In the barracks, a general ran to Liu Hongyi who was holding a binoculars, and excitedly said: "Commander, the Dali army has withdrawn, should we pursue it?"

Liu Hongyi looked at the hot air balloon of the Dali Army in the sky, and shook his head, "The soldiers are all tired, so stop chasing them."

He was actually afraid of these hot air balloons.

Although breaking out of the camp at this time will definitely cause heavy casualties to the Dali army.However, if the Dali Army were desperate, with the help of hot air balloons, the Song Army would probably pay a high price.

Liu Hongyi couldn't bear to risk his life like this.

Because in his opinion, soldiers of Song Dynasty are much more precious than soldiers of Dali.

"Oh!"

The general was embarrassed and disappointed, but he didn't say anything, and ran away again.

The Dali Army went down the hillside under the cover of the hot air balloon, and then headed west.

Shocking cheers erupted in the Da Song barracks.

"We won!"

"We won again!"

Such a victory is undoubtedly very exciting for these garrison troops and the Qiongzhou Army.

Because this is the first time they have fought against Dali soldiers.Moreover, it turned defeat into victory in the case of a surprise attack.

The little sadness in the army was washed away by the bursts of cheers.

It wasn't until Liu Hongyi gave the order to start cleaning the battlefield and sorting out the remains of Paoze that the atmosphere in the army became a little sad.

Many once-familiar faces have become forever in the past in this fight.

More and more bodies were piled up.

The corpses of Dali soldiers were piled up into more than ten corpse mountains.

Some of these soldiers were wearing armor, but their armor was stripped off.With the mining technology of this era, metals are scarce resources.

The pawns of the Song Dynasty suffered little loss.

But the loss of cavalry is a bit distressing.

More than [-] cavalry blocked more than three times the enemy's army, fell into heavy siege, and lost nearly [-].

Although this loss is normal compared to how long they have resisted the Dali cavalry, it still makes the generals feel distressed.

And the one with the heaviest loss was the Feitian Battalion.

The flying battalions of the two armies had a total of more than [-] hot air balloons, nearly half of which were lost.

Of course, the hot air balloons of the Dali Army were blown up, and even more were shot down, maybe even halfway through.However, this still can't stop making people feel distressed.

Kumano's body was also found.

There was a sword wound on his throat, and his whole body was almost trampled out of shape.If he hadn't died face down, it would have been impossible to recognize him again.

After all, this ambitious King Miao couldn't last until the moment when he became the master of the entire Miao territory.

Perhaps, this is fate.

It is also God's will.

After Hong Wutian and others burned his body, they collected the ashes and decided to take them back to Changsha.

After all, although Kumano is cold-blooded and gloomy, he has indeed done a lot for Da Song.

This can offset his previous sin of harming Le for nothing.

Liu Hongyi asked the soldiers to collect all the badges of the fallen robes, and then sent letters to the dead soldiers in front of the corpse mountain.

All the generals and soldiers surrounded them, and when the flames ignited, they all silently took off their helmets or felt hats.

All sounds are silent.

Only the sad breath lingers in the rain and fog.

These soldiers who died in battle were all good, they were all warriors of the Song Dynasty.

But in the Dali army that was heading towards Hengshan Village on the official road, the desolate atmosphere was much stronger than that on the hillside.

Someone is crying.

Some people are sad and angry.

In this campaign, [-] of their soldiers left the city, losing nearly half of them.Many of them naturally had a close relationship with these surviving soldiers.

They are also flesh and blood, and they also have feelings.

At this moment, it can be said that some people in the army are quite dissatisfied with Wang Zigan and other generals.

This is normal.

Someone was cursing under their breath.

However, as the chief general, Wang Zigan's expression was surprisingly calm.It seemed that he didn't care about such a large casualty at all.

He also didn't care about the extremely low morale in the army.

Of course, his expression fell into the eyes of others, and they thought he was just saddened.

The hillside burst into flames.

In the rain and mist, it seems that there are dead souls crying, lingering endlessly.
