Become a feudal king from today

"King Yan!"

Guo Tu's malicious eyes passed through the smoke on the battlefield and reached the army in silver armor. read

Yes, this is the army of King Yan.

He will never forget these silver armors for the rest of his life.

"It's just close. As long as we reach Yan Pass, we will win." Guo Tu murmured like a gibberish.

From midnight to now, the walls of Nancheng have collapsed.

But the Yanguan soldiers kept fighting with them at the gap.

At present, the Yuan family's army has not yet broken through this line of defense and entered Yanguan in large numbers.

So this is not enough.

Because only by attacking the north wall from the back and disrupting the attack of the Yan Pass defenders could the Beidi army successfully enter the pass.

Only then will their Yuan family truly win.

"Yuan Xiu, stop them!" Guo Tu pointed at the approaching Yan King's army, "at all costs."

Yuan Xiu nodded solemnly.

Drawing out his sword, he rode towards the west.

Dozens of generals followed him, issuing orders constantly.

The troops on the west side of the Yuan family's formation immediately turned around, and more than 40,000 people faced the King of Yan's army.

In an open field, two armies were facing each other like chess pieces on a chessboard.

"Artillery went to both wings, established artillery positions, and fired crosswise."

Zhao Xu stood on a slightly higher mound.

The royal army was still advancing, and he, Chang Wei and other core generals were stationed down to direct the battle.

The messenger kept sending his orders to the military formation.

The artillerymen immediately led the horses to the two wings of the military formation, unloaded the artillery, and aimed the muzzles at the Yuan family's military formation.

At the same time, two battalions of spearmen on each side stopped at the artillery position to protect the artillery.

After the artillery position was completed, Zhao Xu ordered the soldiers to stop advancing.

At this time, the Yuan family's army formation was still five hundred meters away from them.

"Heavy cavalry is ready, light cavalry is on the wings."

"Artillery shoots grapeshot."

"..."

Zhao Xu issued orders one after another in an orderly manner.

This grape bomb is the special artillery shell he asked Wang Chong to make during this time.

Different from a single large cannonball, this kind of grapeshot is composed of many small iron balls, tied with cloth into a cylinder shape.

At the bottom of the cannonball there is a round cake dito with the same caliber as the muzzle.

When fired, the gunpowder will activate the Tito, and the grape bullet will fly out under the force.

Due to the great power of gunpowder, these iron beads will fly out of the wrapping cloth and hit the entire surface like a goddess scattering flowers.

The cross-firing will be the same as the cross-firing of the machine gun, maximizing the damage surface.

After all preparations were completed, the battlefield became quiet again, with only the faint sound of fighting in Yanguan coming.

Chang Wei couldn't help but glance in the direction of Yanguan, he was very anxious.

Every minute counts now.

If it were him, he would immediately order the entire army to attack, fight fiercely with the Yuan family soldiers, and then go to Yanguan.

But now that the command was in the hands of King Yan, he could only sigh.

Zhao Xu glanced at Chang Wei, he knew what Chang Wei was thinking.

However, rushing in recklessly will only cause the two armies to quickly get mixed up.

As a result, he would not be able to use the true power of the artillery.

The Yuan family is now on a road of no return.

Everyone from the generals to the soldiers of the Yuan family knows this, so their fighting will is not weak.

Falling into physical combat would only delay his ability to save Yan Pass.

"Mighty, mighty, mighty!"

The soldiers of the Yuan family formed a tight formation, advancing like squares made of ants, and at the same time issued low slogans.

At this time, the soldiers of the royal palace were also formed into a large horizontal formation composed of squares, facing the Yuan family's army formation.

If you follow the old cold weapon era play style.

After getting close, the two sides launched a charge and mixed in hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, the Yuan family's army had this idea.

Their military formation is orderly, and the steps taken by the soldiers are almost the same length to ensure that the formation will not be chaotic.

Four hundred meters.

Three hundred meters.

Two hundred meters...

Zhao Xu was estimating the distance between the two sides.

Just two hundred meters away, the Yuan family's cavalry suddenly surrounded them from both wings, with five thousand cavalry on each wing.

"Your Highness!" Chang Wei couldn't hold it any longer.

Once the Yuan cavalry is allowed to outflank and get behind them, they will be attacked from both sides.

Zhao Xu said nothing, and the royal army remained motionless.

Chang Wei said "Hey" and closed his eyes.

One hundred meters!

At this time, the Yuan family's cavalry, which was originally galloping at a constant speed, suddenly accelerated and tried to quickly outflank them.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu shouted: "Fire!"

"Fire!" Chang Wei immediately stamped his feet and shouted after hearing this.

The order was passed down.

With the loud "boom boom boom" sound, the ground seemed to tremble slightly at this moment.

On the artillery positions on both wings, the artillery spit out tongues of fire.

Grape bullets burst out from the muzzle, and flew towards the Yuan cavalry galloping over like iron beads and fishing nets.

When the cannon sounded, all the mounts of the Yuan cavalry were frightened.

Many horses raised their front hooves, instinctively trying to escape.

The Yuan cavalry were also frightened by the loud noise and allowed their horses to throw them off.

The same question popped up in their minds: "What the hell is this?"

However, the thinking of many of them was immediately ended.

In the few breaths of fire and smoke, black iron beads tore them and their mounts apart like a violent storm.

Before the Yuan cavalry could react, a cloud of blood mist exploded on them.

Some lost arms, some lost legs, some lost heads.

Some people even fell apart instantly.

In an instant, the Yuan cavalry in front fell like dominoes.

"What's going on?" The Yuan cavalry behind them tightened their horses urgently.

The cavalry in front fell one after another, and their vision suddenly broadened.

But looking at the broken limbs and remains lying on the ground, they felt that their breathing was about to stop.

But before they could recover, fire and smoke lit up again not far away.

The stunned Yuan cavalry was torn to pieces again.

At this time, the Yuan cavalry finally realized something was wrong.

Whatever that shiny and loud thing is.

There is no doubt that these things will destroy them as easily as killing a chicken.

And they were unable to offer any resistance.

Seeing the blood and flesh on the ground, the Yuan cavalry couldn't stand it anymore. They screamed, reined in their horses and ran away.

"this……"

Chang Wei and all the generals were dumbfounded.

Under two rounds of shelling, more than a thousand Yuan cavalry fell forever.

It was like a shovel hitting an ant nest.

Not to mention the Yuan cavalry, even their hands were covered in cold sweat.

They had only heard about this kind of artillery shell from King Yan, but they had never seen the real effect.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I understand why King Yan is so calm.

The charge of the Yuan cavalry was defeated in two rounds of artillery fire.

But Zhao Xu's nerves are still broken. Their real purpose is to protect Yanguan.

Before guarding Yan Pass, he must completely defeat the Yuan family's army.

Therefore, when the Yuan family's cavalry fell into chaos and scrambled to escape, he immediately ordered the artillery to aim all artillery at the Yuan family's cavalry 200 meters away.
