Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 580 Kill all the barbarians

(Thank you for the two monthly tickets that no one can think of!)

"Obey!! My Emperor!!"

Seeing the emperor watching the battle in person, all the soldiers of the Artillery Battalion were excited and shouted in unison.

Boom boom boom! !

Facing Chigu City, which is several miles away, there was no mistake in this bombing. All the gunpowder bombs bloomed in all directions in the city with anger. Even if they did not explode immediately after falling into the city, or even if the fuse was extinguished, In the following, other gunpowder bombs exploded and burned one by one.

The Xiongnu people in the city had nowhere to escape, and the screams and cries could be heard even outside the city.

Standing on the high platform, Yuan Yao could not bear the fire in his eyes everywhere in the city, but when he thought that if he could not calm down, he would be retaliated by the Huns in the future, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Kill all the fools!!"

After throwing this sentence, Yuan Yao stepped back from the high platform and returned to the tent.

The next battle is very simple. After killing all the resistance forces in Chigu City, send infantry to rush into the city and kill the remaining Huns one by one.

It is estimated that after the bombardment of gunpowder bombs, tens of thousands of Huns were directly killed, but thousands of Huns may still survive in the city, but there is no need to worry about this. Yuan Yao has hundreds of thousands of troops outside Chigu City. There is also the extremely tough Mingguang Armor, under siege, it is as easy as crushing a handful of ants to death.

Yuan Yao only wanted to minimize the casualties of the soldiers in the army! !This is not a contest, this is war, there are no rules or morals to speak of! !
If the other enemies who are still alive cannot be frightened, the future battles will be cruel to the soldiers led by Yuan Yao, and also cruel to the Han people, and cruel to the Dazhong Empire! !
The battle to attack Chigu City lasted until noon and ended.

Chigu City was completely in ruins, the burning logs, the collapsed city walls, and the smell of charred corpses filled the air, all of which made people want to vomit.

Yuan Yaojun, who was marching in line in the city, was already familiar with this smell. They were broken up into pieces, divided into countless small teams, and cleaned up the battlefield. If they found any Huns who were still alive, they would immediately rush Go up, no matter men or women, kill them immediately with a knife, and behead them to claim credit!
Outside the city, the Chinese military tent
Yuan Yao sat on the main seat, listening to the latest information that kept coming, nodding his head from time to time.

This state did not stop until the lunch break.

After the meal, Zhou Cang, who had completely controlled Monan, came to see Yuan Yao.

"Your Majesty! This battle was fought so happily. The minister was in Monan, and the casualties were only over a hundred. It's unbelievable!!" Zhou Cang said excitedly.

"Yuan Fu, in order to protect you, I gave you a thousand sets of bright light armor!! What is there to brag about a hundred casualties!" Yuan Yao said contemptuously.

After a year of preparations for this Western Expedition, Yuan Yao only forged nearly [-] sets of bright light armor, and distributed [-] sets to Zhou Cang. One thousand sets were distributed to Sun Ce and Gan Ning's two armies, and the favoritism towards Zhou Cang and Chen Dao had already made other armies jealous.

Sun Ce, in particular, complained directly to Yuan Yao, and gave him as much Mingguang armor as his relative, not as much as his sworn brothers.

"Hehe!" Zhou Cang smiled and touched the back of his neck, feeling embarrassed.

"General Zhou, Your Majesty's attack on Chigu City this time resulted in less than [-] casualties in total, of which there were only dozens of deaths, but more than [-] enemies were wiped out!! If His Majesty didn't want to use this to train troops, he could even achieve a record of zero casualties! !” Yang Wu said with a smile.

Zhou Cang worshiped: "If only I could own a few Thunderbolt cars!"

His face showed deep longing and longing, and Zhou Cang was not very old at all, so he didn't have a trace of the majesty of General Zhengxi, but at this time, all the people around Yuan Yao were Yuan Yao's confidantes, not only didn't feel Zhou Cang lost face, but showed a knowing smile on the other hand.

In front of Dazhong Emperor Yuan Yao, who can have majesty! !

Yuan Yao smiled and patted Zhou Cang's back, and said, "Yuan Fu, it's not that I don't want to give you the Thunderbolt Cannon. You also know that now our army has limited gunpowder, and even the Chinese army is not enough. If I give you more You thunderbolt car, the other armies will definitely not accept it, how about this, let’s study the rocket launcher, this weapon is not very useful in the central army, maybe it can be divided into the left and right armies!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!!" Zhou Cang was overjoyed.

Dai Ling, the commander of Xiongwei, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, through this ambush, although the enemy's camel cavalry was severely hit, he also discovered a problem, the gunpowder pack is not easy to use!!"

"Well, I feel the same way!" Yuan Yao nodded.

At first, considering that Xiongwei's focus was on defense, Yuan Yao organized a gunpowder team to assist Dai Ling's Xiongwei army. If he wanted to defend, he could use the gunpowder buried and let the Xiongwei form a shield wall to make the defense stronger. But in actual combat, the mobility of this kind of gunpowder pack that depends on the fuse is too poor.

In the battle with the camel cavalry last night, most of the gunpowder planted at the exit of Yu Zhenhe failed to detonate. Either the fire was turned off halfway, or the line was broken by the camel. In addition, among the gunpowder bags that were successfully detonated, There are also many empty cannons, which have no effect.

The pre-buried gunpowder not only consumes a huge amount of gunpowder, but also is very troublesome to clean up afterwards. After the war, in order to clean up the gunpowder bags that were not blown up, Dai Ling led the Xiongwei and the brothers in the gunpowder camp. Just cleaned up.

Fortunately, the siege does not require Xiongwei to fight, otherwise it would be too late.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that it is better to cancel the gunpowder bag as a weapon and make more gunpowder bombs and rocket launchers from the broken gunpowder!" Guo Jia, the military adviser, said, cupping his hands.

"The last general also supports building more rocket launchers!" said Zhao Yun, the commander of the Yingxiang Army.

The Yingxiang Army is the banner set by Yuan Yao for the Archer Battalion, which means that the archers under Zhao Yun's command should have the same speed and eyesight as an eagle, soaring in the sky, they can quickly find the enemy's vital points at any time , giving a fierce and swift blow! !

Now among Yuan Yao's five guards, the closest one is the Guards Army, which is the Chinese Army in the Central Army. Surrounding the Guards Army are the Xiong Wei Army who is the main defense, the Tiger Guards who are the main attacker, and the Ying Xiang who is the main mobile. Army, the Dragon Army of the main water army.

Yuan Yaoxin developed three kinds of gunpowder weapons. The gunpowder bag is in charge of the Xiongwei Army, the thunderbolt gun is in charge of the Tiger Guard, and the rocket launcher is in charge of the Yingxiang Army.

Now that Dai Ling didn't want the gunpowder bag anymore, Zhao Yun and Xu Yu's eyes brightened immediately.

"Your Majesty, this is great. If the recovered gunpowder packs can be converted into gunpowder bombs, the thunderbolt car can continue to exert its power!!" Xu Xuan said excitedly.

Yuan Yao glanced at the generals, only Yang Wu didn't make a statement, so he asked: "Yang Wu, do you think it's better to cancel or keep it?"

Yang Wu immediately replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to cancel it. If you need gunpowder packs in the future, you can make them again temporarily. Compared with rocket launchers and gunpowder bombs, the production of gunpowder packs is the easiest. of!"

"Dai Ling, you have to think about it, are you sure you really don't want gunpowder?" Yuan Yao asked Dai Ling with a smile.
