The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 537

At this moment, the horns of the Hengshan Army that had been closed down were like thunder, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had finished their formation, and they all pressed on to the coalition army formation.

"Looking for death!" Dennis narrowed his eyes slightly, and snorted coldly, "Order the forward troops to advance and prepare for the battle."

The tens of thousands of forward troops of the coalition army immediately stepped forward, and the formation slowly advanced in a strict and orderly manner.

At this time, Hou Mingfeng, who was on the closed wall, looked at the movement on the opposite side, and couldn't help but slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "It's time for you to experience the power of the artillery."

Behind Hengshan's front line, rows of cannons were lined up neatly, with a total of more than 200 guns.Shi Shouyi stood behind the cannon, looking excitedly at the rows of shiny black muzzles, took a deep breath, and shouted: "The cannon is ready to shoot!"

The operators immediately began to adjust the muzzle and load ammunition.After the preparations were completed, Shi Shouyi looked at the densely packed enemy army, couldn't help but licked his lips, and shouted sharply, "Launch!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!~"

Countless thunder-like roars sounded from behind the Hengshan formation, and a black dot leaped across the sky, smashing into the coalition formation with a whistling sound.

In an instant, the original neat and orderly formation of the vanguard became fragmented in an instant.The land plowed by the shells turned into a bloody land.No one can stop the impact of the shells, and anyone who stands in the way will be turned into minced meat.

At this time, the forward troops were already in chaos, and everyone was beaten into a panic by the opponent's blow.The unstoppable bombardment instantly crushed their morale.This is not a weapon that manpower can fight against. No matter how many people are killed, it is useless. If this is the case, how can we continue to fight?
Everyone just wanted to escape from this place quickly and stay away from that terrifying weapon.The tens of thousands of troops rolled back and forth, constantly attacking the rear army formation.

At this time, everyone on the viewing platform was already stunned.They could clearly see the power of that blow just now.Countless cannonballs fell into the dense crowd, smashing a complete formation in an instant.

"This, is this the power of the cannons when they gather a certain number?" Dennis cried out, trembling, looking at the shadow looming behind the opponent's formation.

"General Dennis, we must immediately stabilize the chaotic army in front of us at this time, otherwise once the enemy forces charge up, it is very likely that our army will collapse." Wu Meng shouted anxiously after he realized his reaction.

"Don't worry, the people below will take care of it." Dennis stabilized his mind, waved his hands, and said in a deep voice, "What I am most worried about now is that if the opponent's artillery continues to attack, our army may not be able to bear it."

"Then retreat for now." Wumeng gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "The enemy's artillery is not easy to move, as long as they keep a distance, they will be a pile of scrap metal."

"Hundreds of thousands of troops, it's so easy to retreat." Dennis shook his head, "There are two choices now, either charge the whole army, smash the opponent's battle formation, and destroy their artillery. Or, dock the tail Survive, after re-deployment, we will fight again."

"This, these two choices are not easy." Wumeng smiled wryly, "General Dennis, I think it's better to make two preparations to avoid being caught off guard."

"Well, what General Wu Meng said makes sense." Dennis nodded, and immediately ordered someone to send an order to leave the [-] troops in the front to resist Hengshan, and the rest of the troops immediately pulled out their camps and prepared to retreat.

As soon as the order was given, there was another loud noise from the opposite side. Immediately afterwards, the forward soldiers and horses who had calmed down a little bit became chaotic again. No matter how the rear tried to comfort them, it was of no avail, and they swarmed towards the main formation.

At this time, among the coalition forces, a cavalry went upstream and rushed into the chaotic formation of the vanguard without any scruples.After penetrating the rebellious army, immediately attack the Hengshan infantry phalanx.

The infantry phalanx immediately stopped and took a defensive posture, and then the cavalry on both sides began to move, rushing towards the cavalry.

The two cavalry rushed together and fought together.The Hengshan infantry phalanx immediately separated out a force and rushed to outflank it.

The general who led the cavalry of the coalition army couldn't help but his face darkened when he saw it, and immediately ordered to retreat.After the rush just now, he has already realized the strength of the opponent's combat power, and if he continues to entangle, he will only be eaten by them all.

As the cavalry retreated, the Hengshan infantry continued to advance, and the artillery behind them also grunted forward.However, in order to maintain the continuous output of the artillery, a hundred artillery pieces were advanced first, and the rear artillery began to shift after stopping 300 meters in front.

With the continuous attack of the artillery, the front soldiers and horses that were originally responsible for resisting the Hengshan Army could no longer hold on. In this narrow valley road, there was not much room for 10 horses to move.With the impact of the forward troops and the chaos of the soldiers and horses in this formation, the entire formation began to gradually disintegrate.

"10 people can't do it." Wumeng closed his eyes slightly, and then slowly opened them, "General Dennis, let's retreat too. Now the opponent has a lot of artillery in their hands. In this narrow rift, we can't The chances of winning. The army must withdraw from the valley before they can gather and fight again."

"That's the only way to go." Dennis nodded rather dejectedly. He originally thought that after a while, he would be able to conquer the critical barrier of the sky, but he didn't expect the situation to be reversed like this.In the future, with these artillery defenses, how can the coalition forces have a chance to enter the Western Regions?

Immediately, bursts of low-pitched horns rang out from the barracks, and the soldiers and horses in the front immediately retreated in a hurry as soon as they heard that there was still any fighting spirit.

How could the Hengshan army let go of this opportunity to beat the dog in the water with sticks? Ten thousand cavalry took the lead in attacking and pursued them all the way.

At this time, Dennis walked out of the barracks, rode on his horse, looked at the empty camp, and shouted coldly: "Burn the barracks, stop the enemy's speed."

"But general, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses ahead of the army?" A general trembled.

"I can't control that much anymore, execute it immediately!" Dennis took a deep breath and shouted sharply.

It didn't take long for the barracks fire to ignite, completely blocking the road in the canyon.

At this time, the remnant army who was still in the east of the barracks was facing the raging fire, and suddenly burst into tears.With the arrival of Hengshan's army, the desperate coalition soldiers had no choice but to surrender.

Looking at the fire, Shi Shouyi's face couldn't help but darken. He immediately ordered people to put out the fire quickly and open up a channel for the enemy to pursue.

Hou Mingfeng looked at the red barracks in the distance, his expectant eyes instantly turned into despair.In that battle just now, only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were wiped out, and 40 soldiers and horses were safely evacuated. Once they are allowed to gain a firm foothold, it will be difficult to wipe them out.

Hou Mingfeng looked up to the west, praying silently in his heart, hoping that the cavalry in the west could stop them for a while and buy some time for the army.But after thinking about it again, he couldn't help showing a wry smile, how could their tens of thousands of people alone be able to withstand the impact of hundreds of thousands of troops.
