Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 247 The Dust Settles
The heavy artillery shells fell on the top of the city, causing a lot of damage in an instant.

However, unlike the tofu dregs project in the small town, the city wall of Fucheng is still relatively thick. After a wave of bombardment, the edge of the city wall collapsed, but the inside was still strong.

Su Yuan watched with a telescope from a distance, and he found that there were no soldiers on the city wall.It can be seen that the enemy has taken precautions. Knowing that the Bei'an Army's artillery is powerful, they hid in advance.

Zhou Shu beside him also noticed this, and suggested to him: "Shall we take this opportunity to let General Li and General Zhao climb the city wall?"

The enemy army was suppressed by heavy artillery and did not dare to show their heads. It was indeed a good opportunity to get close to the city wall.

But Su Yuan was not at ease.

"Let's take another look. After all, this is the prefecture where Shi Ming is located. There are many soldiers in the city, and there are also many masters. It may be dangerous to go up rashly."

"Yes." Zhou Shu nodded.

She knew that Su Yuan cared very much for the lives of his subordinates, whether they were generals or soldiers, and basically would not make any dangerous schemes.

"How many shells are there for the heavy artillery?" Su Yuan asked.

Xun Yu came out from behind at this time and gave the answer: "There are thirty more."

thirty……

Su Yuan thought it was a pity.It would be great if the heavy artillery shells were "summons", so that he could put as many as he wanted in the soldier talisman.

That way no other fighting methods are needed, an "infinite bombardment" is enough.

"My lord, do you want to use it sparingly?"

"No need." Su Yuan said, "It's fine if you run out. The task of our vanguard is just to take down Haizhou. After that, we have to wait until General Qi arrives before moving east."

Su Yuan's thousands of people all came in Xuanwu, and none of the boats moved.The fleet, as well as more equipment and materials, will come with Qi Jiguang.

At that time, when all the resources have been integrated, Su Yuan will go east to Haizhou to continue the journey of unification.

At present, only this prefectural city in Haizhou is difficult to fight, and the others are not a problem.It doesn't matter if you run out of shells here.

Taking ten thousand steps back, at worst, Su Yuan can summon Xuanwu, whose "mouth cannon" is much more powerful than heavy cannons.

Not calling now is purely because he doesn't want to kill too many civilians.

The regrettable cannon can only hit the city wall, but Xuanwu's mouth cannon is estimated to be sprayed out, the city wall is destroyed, and many people's houses in the city are also destroyed.

Unless one's own side will be harmed, Su Yuan will not easily kill the people.This is also the principle he has always adhered to. Only those civilians who try to attack the Bei'an army will he let the Bei'an army counterattack.

And for those who don't attack, no matter how much he scolds in his heart, he won't care.

Soon, another twenty rounds of heavy artillery went down.

Almost all the outer city walls have collapsed, and the inner walls have also been damaged to a certain extent.

There were still ten shells left, and Su Yuan asked the artillery to temporarily stop firing in case they were needed urgently.

When he stopped here, Shi Ming, who was hiding in the fortress, saw that the shelling stopped, and immediately sent someone to investigate.

The scout soldiers climbed up the city wall and looked at the situation of the Bei'an Army from a distance.It was so far away that he couldn't see clearly at all, but he still went back to report that the Bei'an Army seemed to have run out of shells.

Upon hearing this, Shi Ming thought that the opportunity had come.

He ordered several generals and asked them to attack together.

"Dear Tang Sect righteous men, please do more!"

"We will fight together."

Tang Ming said so, but there was no desperate thought in his heart.

He has no enmity with the Bei'an army, so it's really not worthwhile to work for Shi Ming.It's even more wrong to go to die for the enemy Tang Lin.

Several generals received the order and immediately left the fortress to reorganize their troops.Nearly [-] well-equipped soldiers left the city with weapons soaked in poison.

This is only the first wave, followed by the second wave, which is nearly 1 people.

It's just that the equipment in the latter wave is much worse. Most of them are farmers recruited from the people.And their task is also to share the pressure for the main force and attract the attention of the Bei'an army.

Or to be more precise, Shi Ming wanted these people to be cannon fodder.

He had to get rid of the thousand-man army of the Bei'an Army. Whether it was for the overall situation or for his own face, he couldn't wait.

The Bei'an army saw a large number of Haizhou soldiers leaving the city, and also changed their array.

After Su Yuan discovered that the enemy had more than [-] soldiers, he knew that Shi Ming wanted to take advantage of his strength and swallow him up.

This is naturally whimsical, and Su Yuan's many enemies in the past have revealed two truths.

One is that the number advantage is sometimes useless, and quality is more important.

The other one is that even if the quality of Su Yuan's soldiers is not superior, the number will not be small.

If Su Yuan wanted to, he could use the soldier talisman to summon soldiers who could crush Haizhou soldiers.

But he didn't call because it wasn't necessary.

Li Yuanba can take care of these people with an enemy of ten thousand people, not to mention Zhao Yun and others.

He looked at those masters of the rivers and lakes, and they didn't have any intentions on the surface. Instead, they were all gearing up, looking eager to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.

Along the way, there are not many opportunities for people to use their mobile phones. Most of the battles are resolved with long-range artillery or muskets.Or it was Li Yuanba who went up and hammered around... There was almost no chance for others to do meritorious deeds.

Now let everyone have a sense of participation, in order to mobilize enthusiasm.

"Let's go together," Su Yuan said.

As soon as his words fell, everyone took the initiative to meet Haizhou soldiers without waiting for them to approach.

As the strongest, Li Yuanba and Zhao Yun naturally assumed the responsibility of opening the way.The two of them rushed to the front on horseback, and when they approached, the Haizhou Army immediately released arrows.

Naturally, these arrows could not cause any harm to the two of them, but Zhao Yun, with sharp eyes, grabbed an arrow with one hand and took a closer look, the color of the arrow was obviously wrong.

"Arrows are poisonous!"

He yelled to remind everyone in the Bei'an army that he released his true energy, rushed into the crowd one by one, and stabbed dozens of people to death in a blink of an eye.

With Zhao Yun's reminder, everyone else is doubly careful.Especially those masters of the rivers and lakes who failed to ignore the arrow attack, they only went to kill the enemy after carefully protecting themselves.

The Haizhou Corps saw that the Bei'an Army took the initiative to charge and kill them, and thought that these people were out of their minds. Why are there so few people?But when they fought, they realized that although there were few families, all of them were strong.

They couldn't deal with Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba alone. These two were rampant in the crowd, killing people like hemp, which was terrifying.

Especially Zhao Yun in the white robe, he was more purposeful than Li Yuanba.Not just simply killing the soldiers, but specifically looking for those generals.

Regardless of whether it is a young general or a general, as long as Zhao Yun finds one, he will immediately explode with true energy and rush to kill him!Once the general dies, the soldiers around him will immediately become chaotic, causing a local collapse.

Although there are many troops of [-] people, such a partial collapse will soon trigger a chain reaction, leading to the defeat of the entire army.

The Tang Sect disciples who were also among the crowd could see the horror of Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba.As practitioners of martial arts, they could tell at a glance that Zhao Yun was a master or above, and Li Yuanba couldn't tell.

Most of the disciples who came to support them are from the innate realm, how dare they wrestle with the master master?You absolutely dare not get close, only dare to use some hidden weapons to sneak attack from a distance.

Several Tang Sect disciples secretly aimed at Zhao Yun and fired poisonous needles.As soon as the poisonous needle flew out, Zhao Yun glanced this way as if feeling something.

This look immediately frightened the Tang Sect disciples to their wits, and they wanted to run away.

"Where to go!"

As soon as Zhao Yun found them, he rushed towards them with strides. The shield of true energy on his body broke the poisonous needle, and when he came to them, the spear pierced them.

"Senior, forgive me!"

"Humph!"

Regardless of the other person's begging for mercy, Zhao Yun swung his palm at Tianling.The man's skull and mask cracked together, and he died immediately.

After the melee, Su Yuan naturally did not participate in the battle.His main goal was to switch between Li Yuanba and Zhao Yun. At this time, he happened to see Zhao Yun killing several masked disciples of the Tang Sect.

"That half-face mask...is it from the Tang Sect?"

Su Yuan knew that the standard attire for Tangmen disciples was Tsing Yi, deerskin gloves, and a half-face mask.

Now he took a closer look, except for the few people killed by Zhao Yun with thunder, there were still some disciples of the Tang Sect mixed in the Haizhou Corps.

Why did Tangmen disciples come to join the battle?Is it Tang Lin's order?

Su Yuan thought.

Tang Lin thought that I would deal with him sooner or later, so he joined the battle ahead of time and caused trouble for me?There is this possibility.

It's just not sure whether these Tangmen disciples are Tang Lin's lackeys, or people who were deceived by him.

Originally, Su Yuan wouldn't care about this, but who told him to have a little friendship with people from the Tang Sect, that is, Tang Ziyu...

With this in mind, he issued orders to Zhao Yun remotely through the soldier talisman.

Zhao Yun, who was in the enemy's formation, immediately jumped up and used his true energy to spread his voice to the entire battlefield.

"Men of the Tang Sect! Listen carefully, Tang Ziyu is a friend of our Bei'an Army. If you stop now and withdraw from the battlefield, we can temporarily spare your lives. Otherwise, we will kill you without mercy!"

"what?!"

"The missing eldest lady went to the Bei'an Army?!"

"how can that be……"

The disciples of the Tang Sect in the army were all shocked when they heard the words, and Tang Ming trembled all over, and his face showed joy.

One of the reasons why he worked for Tang Lin was that Tang Lin threatened him with Tang Ziyu.He wasn't sure if Tang Ziyu was in Tang Lin's hands, so he could only compromise temporarily.

Now, according to the general of the Bei'an Army, the eldest lady is not in Tang Lin's hands, but in the Bei'an Army?

Tang Ming didn't think this was a lie. He had collected a lot of information about the Bei'an Army before.He knew that this army, or the leader of the army, the prince named Su Yuan, didn't like, or disdain to deceive others.

He made a decision almost immediately, as soon as he was short, he would withdraw from the battlefield as Zhao Yun said.

Seeing this, several Tangmen disciples who were in charge of staring at him immediately yelled angrily: "I knew you kid still had other intentions! Suffer!"

Tang Ming sneered: "Do it, come on, just let me clean up the door for Tangmen!"

The melee continued.

Although the Bei'an Army was small in number, it was able to overwhelm tens of thousands of enemy troops because of its extremely high combat effectiveness.

But tens of thousands of people can't be finished so quickly after all, Su Yuan gradually loses patience.He didn't want to waste any more time, so he used the soldier talisman, and the necromancers appeared in an instant, and began to summon skeleton soldiers to fight.

The Jiangnan soldiers had never seen a skeleton soldier before, and they were a little bit overwhelmed by Li Yuanba and Zhao Yun, but now they completely collapsed when they saw this weird and terrifying creation.

A chain reaction broke out, and there was a constant clang and clang. It was the sound of Haizhou soldiers throwing their weapons and surrendering.
