The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 919 surprise attack
Write a letter to King Muliqing, King Jinanta is not just asking for help.

The war has developed to the current scale, and it can be regarded as a decisive battle between the two tribes, which is related to the life and death of the Western Man tribes.

Whether it is a decisive battle or how to make a decisive battle, the three major clans must make up their minds together for such major decisions, and then go to war with the Jin court after a unified deployment.

Ever since, in the case of superior military strength, King Jinanta decided to stand still.

Of course, he also sent a small army to harass, and made the army ready to be dispatched at any time.

Ximan's communication speed was relatively slow, and after a few days of harassment, the Jin army probably figured out their intentions.

Of course, in the past few days, the large and small cities near the Liangshan Fort have been strengthened in terms of military strength and supplies, as if they were about to face a decisive battle.

For a time, more than 20 troops gathered within a radius of [-] miles of Liangshan Fort.

Time has entered December, although there is no heavy snowfall, the temperature has become extremely low.

Zhao Yanxun has stayed in Liangshan Fort for seven days, and Zhao Yanxun is looking through the newspaper at the moment.

There are the court situation sent by the cabinet and the Privy Council, as well as the military situation sent by the Northwest Governor's Office.

He left the capital for more than a month, and the overall situation in the country was stable.

In addition to talking about various aspects of the domestic situation, the officials also tried their best to persuade Zhao Yanxun to stay away from the front line command.

"These guys really underestimate me!" Zhao Yanxun said with a slight smile.

Half an hour passed, after reading all the memorials, Zhao Yanxun walked out of the house, and it was snowing heavily outside.

Entering December, the temperature is getting colder and colder. Normally, this time is not suitable for fighting.

But there is no way, even if Zhao Yanxun does not take the initiative to provoke a war, the high-level Ximan will choose to go to war in December.

Their food can't last long, and dragging it on will only drag them down.

Zhao Yanxun took the initiative to "attack". Although it disrupted the deployment of the high-level Ximan, it may not be a bad thing for these people.

It is their dream to be able to decide the battle as soon as possible, provided that they can win.

Facing the snowflakes that hit his face, Zhao Yanxun walked on the wall of the fort, his eyes swept to the northwest.

"How far are the reinforcements from the Western Barbarians?" Zhao Yanxun asked casually.

"Reporting to the emperor, its vanguard of [-] troops is less than a hundred miles away from our army!" Xu Hong replied.

After King Jinanta sent an invitation, Muliqing chose to increase troops for a decisive battle, and has been busy dispatching troops these days.

Stopping, Zhao Yanxun said calmly: "Fang Sheng and the others should send back the news!"

There are [-] forbidden troops stationed in the northwest, originally evenly distributed in the northwest of Tianshan County, responsible for defending the Western Man raids.

But now that the situation has changed drastically, the guards stationed in various places have been mobilized, and the forbidden army as the backbone is naturally inevitable.

The Left and Right Xiaowu Guards and the Left and Right Xiaoqi Cavalry Guards are now within fifty miles of the Liangshan Fort, and they have fought a few times with the Western Barbarian army these days.

As for the soldiers and horses of Long Zhiwei on the left and right, on the surface their main force remained in the original station, but they sent a partial division to sneak to the northwest.

Their purpose was to attack the Western Man tribes from the rear, especially to destroy their grain roads.

These people's laborious expeditions inevitably lead to a long food road, which is their weakest link.

Once successfully attacked its grain road, at least it will make its army's morale unstable, and at worst it can directly defeat the enemy's fighting spirit.

At this moment, Fang Sheng, who was mentioned by Zhao Yanxun, was leading two thousand households under his command, lurking three hundred miles away from Liangshanbao.

Thanks to the Western Man cavalry who lured away the zombies, Fang Sheng could lead his troops to sneak freely in the northwest land, with high maneuverability and detours, to avoid the detection of the Western Man scouts.

In the past few days of sneaking into the Northwest, although he encountered several food transport teams, Fang Sheng was not in a hurry to do it.

It's not that he can't catch it, but that he wanted to catch a bigger fish, and today he finally caught it.

A few minutes later, there was the sound of horseshoes approaching quickly, which lifted Fang Sheng's spirits.

"Master Commander, their food transport team has arrived, just twenty miles away...only escorted by [-] infantry!"

Fang Sheng laughed, and he said to the left and right: "Give me the general's order, and all the ministries can go out to wipe out the enemy!"

They have 2000 troops, and it is not difficult to crush [-] infantry. The important thing is how to avoid casualties.

Fortunately, Fang Sheng has already distributed the "grenade" brought in from the capital, and it will definitely play a big role this time.

The army began to march, and scouts kept reporting the situation back and forth.

Fang Sheng sent out a large number of scouts, and as a team dedicated to transporting food, the Ximan side also sent out many scouts.

When Fang Sheng's troops approached for seven or eight miles, they were spotted by Ximan scouts, and they immediately returned to report the situation.

There are many cavalry in the West, but the number of infantry is even larger, and the team that can be selected to deliver food is the elite of its infantry.

Knowing that the Jin army had appeared, the commander of the food transportation team was a little panicked, but he immediately organized the army to defend.

It was too late to find a suitable village at this moment, so he could only organize defenses on the spot.

The food transport team was two miles long, so they contracted back and forth, and the length was shortened to 300 meters after a few minutes.

They built a wall for the grain trucks, and temporarily cut down nearby trees to form an obstacle. A crude but practical position has been formed.

At a distance of seven or eight miles, the cavalry can arrive in twenty minutes.

When he was one mile away from the Ximan position, Fang Sheng ordered to stop. He found a high place to observe the situation ahead.

"It's a good arrangement, let's just attack by force... Send an order, give them a ring!"

"My lord, how much to put?"

"Thirty!" Fang Sheng said after careful calculation.

Although the production of grenades has increased now, they are still rare items, and Fang Sheng is reluctant to squander them.

Of course, he was looking forward to the cannon that Zhang Junru was tinkering with. He heard that it could kill the enemy hundreds of paces away.

Following Zhang Junru's order, thirty cavalrymen with grenades increased their speed and rushed towards the western barbarian army.

Their speed increased very fast, and they soon entered the shooting range of the Western Man's bows and arrows, but the Western Man's army did not shoot arrows in large numbers.

Arrows are precious, but more than 30 people came to inquire about the situation, and in the opinion of the Ximan commander, a few random arrows are enough.

Of course, even if the western barbarian army shot a large number of arrows, these grenade-throwing soldiers were not afraid at all, because not only did they wear armor themselves, but their horses were also specially made with iron armor.

Soon, thirty cavalrymen approached within 20 meters of the western barbarian army formation, which was already a very short distance.

The cavalrymen took out grenades and fire pockets from their pockets, and the fire pockets ignited flames when the wind blew, but they were not in a hurry to light the fuses.

"ignition!"

Following the roar of the leading officer, the soldiers on the scene lit the fuse and threw it towards the Western Barbarian formation with all their might.

During the whole process of throwing mines, they have practiced countless times on weekdays, so all the movements are done in one go at this moment.

The lead wire of the grenade is [-] centimeters long, and it can burn for about ten seconds, which can ensure the safety of the user.

Seeing the black bumps flying from a distance and falling on the ground with sparks, the Ximan soldiers were very confused.

Although I don't know what it is, since it was thrown by the enemy risking their lives, it must be very dangerous.

So these soldiers approached slowly holding their shields, and then... there was a loud "boom".

The earth-shattering explosion sounded in the formation of the Western Barbarians, followed by countless corpses and broken arms...

Because the formation was too dense, more than 200 people were killed on the spot, 600 people were injured to varying degrees, and the screams continued.

Of course, the violent explosion made all the Western Barbarian soldiers even more terrified, and fear spread among the survivors.

At this time, seeing that the western barbarian formation had been blown up, Fang Sheng gave the order to attack.
