sweeping the world

Chapter 611 Defeat like a mountain

Li Mi was galloping at a high speed, holding a torch in one hand and a porcelain jar in the other. The porcelain jar was oval in shape, with a fuze connected to the inside, and it was thrown out immediately after it was ignited.

Murong Yan's army originally used cavalry to resist the Han army, but the cavalry behind were ordered to leave the field, and a large number of infantry were crowded on the road that was not wide.

In the beginning, Ran Min took advantage of the Murong Yan army's defense switch to carry out a short-distance assault, intercepted some of the enemy's cavalry, and even crushed some of the infantry. down.

There are really too many woods in Youzhou, and the sparsely populated relationship has few established avenues. It can be imagined that the road on Murong Ke's retreat route must have been opened not long ago, and how it will be used for combat has been taken into consideration.

When Ran Min led the cavalry in person, he approached the woods where there was a embracing mouth, and a large group of crossbowmen immediately rushed out of it. Although the cavalry has a strong defense against arrows, it may be the same thing to rush up , rushed up and waited for the enemy to retreat, couldn't they follow in the woods, right?

Ran Min, who decided to wait for the infantry from the rear, did not wait long. He was rather disappointed that the infantry did not bring such a big killer as a catapult, but they brought 23 catapults.

The first explosion was a bed crossbow tied with explosives from a crossbow. The first round of firing achieved the best results. It was because this group of Murong Yan troops did not know the existence of explosives, and used shields to defend in the usual way. , As a result, not only the shield wall was opened by the power of the explosives, but even the people fell down.

Facts proved the power of the explosives, and it also scared Murong Yan's army enough. Ran Min saw that the enemy troops on the defense line were in a mess, and ordered his cavalry to go up and throw porcelain grenades, and the bed crossbow troops began to shoot towards the rear. .

It was the first time for Murong Yan's army to come into contact with hot weapons. They didn't know what explosives were. They only knew that pieces of robes would die with a loud bang and a flash of light. Because of their fear of the unknown, they no longer had the courage to fight. The battle started from the fighters in front turning around and running away, and it turned into a rout of friendly troops who didn't know what happened, and there was a big rout.

Once the army collapses, everyone rushes to run away. At that time, even if a small group of people want to resist, they will be swept away by the psychologically broken people. It can even be said that after the formation of a big rout, they will fight for the way to escape. Killing each other is not too strange.

"That thing is really easy to use!" When Li Mi said that, his face was full of regret: "Each person is only allowed to carry five pieces, which is really too little."

Whether it is explosive packs or porcelain pot grenades, they are the first generation of firearms used in actual combat. Although they are primitive, they have not given explosives a bad name. The first battle caused the collapse of [-] defenders, and they were easily defeated in the next battle. They have an absolute terrain advantage. However, the people who used them only lost six people, two of whom died after the fuze was ignited and did not throw it out in time.

"Push forward! Push forward! Push forward!" Ran Min waved his hand downwards after constantly raising his hand: "Peerless martial arts, right now, push forward!"

It's not really any martial arts, it's actually a meritorious service. As long as Murong Ke can be wiped out, it is equivalent to completing more than half of the battle to destroy Yan, and the credit must not be considered small.

The morale of the Han army was like a rainbow, and the battle cry of "Han army mighty" resounded throughout the world.

The retreating Murong Yan army looked as miserable as if they were mourning for their heirs. Almost everyone running wildly had a face full of fear. No matter who came to block the road, they would wave their weapons to kill them. It was obvious that they would rather fight out. There is only one way to escape, and I am not willing to turn around and be blown up to pieces by unknown weapons.

Murong Ke sent the supervisory team many times, but the supervisory team could not stop the rout, and had to rush over from the front in person, laying down a thick blocking line and deploying a large number of crossbowmen, and people kept shouting.

At the beginning, the rout didn't stop just because they saw Murong Ke's battle flag. They rushed forward one after another, and batch after batch were killed and wounded by the arrows shot by their own people, and there were still dead people behind. In fact, too many piled up into a pile of corpses, and there is no way to escape before they stop.

"I'd rather be shot to death by an arrow than be wiped out by something like that!"

"Bastard, you don't know how powerful the Han army is, so hurry up and get out of the way!"

"Fight, fight, and charge again!"

The noisy shouts seemed a bit hysterical. Finally, someone yelled, "Run to the woods on both sides!" This alerted the defeated troops. The next moment, the people crowded on the forest road seemed to have just woken up, as if they were rolling. The oil dripped into a swarm full of ants, scattering in all directions and scurrying into the forest.

Murong Ke watched with his own eyes the rout soldiers' repeated attacks being covered by the rain of arrows, and watched the rout soldiers scatter into the forest in disbelief.Because he really couldn't believe it, his mouth opened wide unconsciously, and his eyeballs almost protruded, but he still couldn't destroy the beauty of that naturally handsome face.

"This, this, this..." If Liu Xiang hadn't been riding on a horse, he would have fallen limply to the ground, trembling his lips: "Why are you afraid of Yu...why are you afraid of Yu?"

Murong Ke has a high prestige in Murong Yan's army. If the soldiers were not frightened to the point of breaking their livers, they would have regained some composure when they saw Murong Ke's battle flag.

What happened just now?Even Murong Ke's arrival in person couldn't stop the rout. The rout soldiers knew that Murong Ke was coming, but they still wanted to run for their lives!

Not only Murong Ke and Liu Xiang couldn't accept it for a while, even those Murong Yanjun who had organized a defense line and had never seen the power of gunpowder were stunned. The next moment an inexplicable fear began to spread, and everyone subconsciously looked for someone they knew. They all looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Go, go..." Murong Ke was already pulling the reins and turning the horse's head when he spoke: "Break out, the only plan for now is to break out as soon as possible!"

Liu Xiang pulled the rein limply, but he didn't let the horse turn around for a while, he almost fell off the horse's back with a little force in a hurry, stabilized his figure, took a deep breath, and finally let the horse complete the U-turn, slapped the horse's buttocks and rode the horse run wildly.

"We..." Milong saw Murong Ke and Liu Xiang leaving, and as a ten thousand commander who had not received any new orders, he didn't know whether to stay or follow, so he looked at one of his subordinates. Commander-in-Chief: "Should I stay, or should I go?"

Chief Hu Wei swallowed hard, and gave an ugly smile: "You are Commander Wan, you are here to make up your mind."

From the beginning to the end, there have been rout soldiers running towards this side. After seeing the pile of corpses, they ran into the nearby woods without thinking. It took about a quarter of an hour for the rout soldiers to disappear, but the Han army was coming.

Milong, who didn't know whether he should stay or not, finally didn't have to worry about it. He tried very hard to see if every Han army was overpowered.

The cavalry led by Ran Min was the first to arrive. They found that there were corpses all over the ground in front of them and had to stop.

There were corpses everywhere on the ground, and there were densely packed arrows. The corpses were piled up about five or six feet in some areas. The cavalry could not avoid stumbling when they rushed into this scene.

"What's the name of the hand without that?" Ran Min really didn't remember the name of the new weapon: "See if you can make a detour, and if you can't, urge the infantry behind."

The cavalry can't use it in the forest-covered terrain, and it is impossible to drill the forest at will like the infantry. Ran Min dares to drill the forest now because Murong Yan's army is already frightened and fearless.

Milong, who was extremely nervous at first, took the initiative to stop after seeing the Han army coming and regained some stability, but he was still full of fear that Murong Ke could not stop the defeat.

"Here we come..." Hu Wei raised his finger and said, "A pawn of the Han army."

One piece of woods is separated by a small open space and then another piece. It can be clearly seen that the Han army got out of the woods, arranged in a long line and slowly advanced.

"It seems... nothing special?" Milong saw that the front of the Han army was a very common shield-wielding sword soldier, and almost every country had similar soldiers.He was full of confusion and said, "It's because they are so scared that those people dare not even stop?"

Some words were not clear, Milong was extremely confused about what kind of fright he should receive, so that the rout soldiers could not regain their stability even after seeing Murong Ke.

The Han army that got out of the forest was still slowly advancing, and there were already officers on Murong Yan's side giving out bursts of passwords, nothing more than getting the crossbowmen to prepare to shoot arrows.

Under Murong Yanjun's surprised and uncertain gaze, the slowly advancing Han army stopped, and several black spots shot into the sky from a position that Murong Yanjun couldn't see, and Murong Yanjun with better eyesight could detect it. It's a bed crossbow, but I don't know what the boxy cloth bag at the arrowhead is.

Ran Min had already started shouting, ordering the cavalry to be ready to charge at any time.

"We..." Mi Long just said two words, but there was a loud bang in his ears, and what he saw was a few balls of something exploding on the top of his own front, and he was so frightened that he could only repeat: "We...we..., what is that!?"

The explosive package brought by the crossbow arrows exploded at different times depending on the length of the fuze. Each sound could overturn a large group of people. The Murong Yan army who was closer and not within the range of the explosion would also fall in pieces. That is deafness. subsequent human reactions.

When the explosion sounded, Ran Min took the lead to charge, and then the cavalry and infantry moved forward amidst the battle cry of "Han army mighty".

In fact, not too many people died in the explosion. The main reason was that the sound of the explosion was really scary. Furthermore, they had no idea why the explosion occurred. As a result, this group of Murong Yanjun had the same scene as their previous companions, that is, in He turned around and ran away in fear.

Murong Ke, who came to the front of the team again, heard explosions from behind more than once, and every sound made his heart tremble accordingly.

"Can you really summon the divine thunder!?" Liu Xiang couldn't hide the fear in his heart, and kept saying, "What should I do... what should I do..."

Murong Ke still doesn't believe in the idea of ​​summoning the god of thunder. He can roughly guess that Han Guo has developed a new type of weapon.

"Shut up, or you'll die." Murong Ke gave Liu Xiang a vicious look, telling Liu Xiang to shut up instantly.He glanced at the southwest direction again with sad eyes, turned his head and decided not to look back: "Come on, break through the blocking line of the Han army, and enter the open ground to take advantage of the cavalry!"

In fact, the war in the north has already begun. A large number of Murong Qingqi are attacking the defense line set up by about [-] Han infantry, while the Diaobao cavalry is slightly behind.

Xie Ai was standing on a nest cart, watching the enemy cavalry charge desperately under the dense rain of arrows.What he pays more attention to is the Murong cavalry who are free outside but can reflect sunlight. He knows that only wearing iron armor can reflect sunlight.

"Why is there constant thunder over there?" Yuan Qiao was startled by Murong Yanjun's decisive impact, and at the same time was extremely curious about the constant explosions, and was able to suppress distracting thoughts and watch the battlefield: "The arrow array can't be blocked for a long time, After Qingqi charged into battle, the enemy's armored cavalry should charge forward."

Xie Ai has been deep into the grassland for more than a year, and his previous identity is not enough to know that he is developing gunpowder. Naturally, he is also curious about the constant thunder, but as the supreme commander here, he is more concerned about how to block Murong Yan Jun.

"There are more and more enemy troops pouring out of the forest area, but they look like frightened birds." Xie Ai was extremely amazed at how the army led by Liu Yan could quickly break through Murong Ke's defense line built for more than a year: "We must persist no matter what. Hold on, only if we block it can we completely annihilate Murong Ke's West Route Army."

Murong Yan's light cavalry, who were charging desperately, had already charged forward. In response, a large number of armored heavy infantry stepped out of the Han army's formation. After they came out, they were stuck in place, followed by spearmen who continued to pour out from behind.

The mink and leopard cavalry finally stopped watching when their Qing cavalry rushed into the formation. They temporarily set up iron chains to hook the friendly troops, and then lined up to drive the horses forward.

When the cavalry is charging at high speed, it is definitely a brave man who dares to counterattack against the trend with his spears. The encounter between the two armies is a turn of events. For a moment, the armed heavy infantry waved the Mo Dao and advanced neatly like a copper wall.

Murong Ke arrived at the front line almost when the mink and leopard cavalry began to charge.He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he found that the Han army blocking the way didn't use that kind of weapon that could make a loud noise. The next moment he ordered all the troops to attack, regardless of the waves, and even bluntly said that breaking through the siege was the first priority and rushed out. Then go to Akagi for rendezvous.

"The current situation is changing!" Murong Ke had full confidence in the mink and leopard cavalry before, but his confidence was shaken by the unknown weapons of the Han army: "Before we spy on what weapons the Han army uses and how to target them, it is difficult for us to Let's fight against the Han army again."
