"Boom!"
A gunshot came from the side.
Gao Jie looked around and saw a black dot flying over from behind the hill, followed by seven or eight roars.
The shell landed in the open space, bounced on the hard rock, and finally splashed and stopped not far from Gao Jie.
The rest of the artillery shells were roughly the same, but their target was not Gao Jie's flag, but the artillery position behind Gao Jie.
"Jiannu also knows how to use cannons?"
Looking at the solid cannonball picked up by the guards, Gao Jie weighed it in his hand and found that it was an 18-pound cannon. of cannonballs.
Then he threw away the shells, and Gao Jie said to his bodyguards: "Geng Jingzhong, I'm so glad!" They are behind the hill, capture them! "
The leader of the personal guard responded and led his five hundred cavalry into the inconspicuous hill despite the constant flying shells.
Military judge Liang Kai saw the general beside him. There were only a few dozen people left, mostly scribes, so he said to Gao Jie: "General, we either need to move forward and join the artillery soldiers, or we can retreat and join the artillery soldiers.
Now, our army has been divided into two parts, and we may be taken advantage of by the slave builders. "
Gao Jie drew out his long sword and smiled, and said to Liang Kai: "Are you a civil servant?
Liang Kai was stunned, and immediately drew out his long sword and said: "I am a civil servant, but when it comes to killing enemies, ordinary generals are not as good as me." "
As Liang Kai drew out his long sword, the other clerks also put away their pens and drew out their long swords from their waists. Some even prepared firecrackers.
Lantian There is basically no difference between scholars and warriors in the county.
When they put on Confucian shirts, they become scholars, and when they hang up their swords, they become warriors.
Gao Jie looked at the enemy's right wing, which had not moved yet. , said softly: "You can't let me take off my clothes before you take action, right? "
Before he finished speaking, a group of men and horses rushed over from behind the slope on the right wing. They were the Jianzhou Cavalry.
"Set up a defense line! "
Liang Kai shouted, and a group of clerks stood in front of Gao Jie, facing the cavalry.
Gao Jie chuckled and said: "Finally out. "
Liang Kai said loudly: "General, please retreat quickly. "
Seeing the thousands of horses galloping and the overwhelming cavalry charging over, Gao Jie smiled and said: "Why retreat? Today we will see the final glory of the Jianzhou cavalry up close. "
Liang Kai said anxiously: "General, don't get involved in danger! "
Gao Jie drew out his long sword and said to Liang Kai: "If I leave, Jiannu will not continue to charge. Order, fire!" ”
Liang Kai’s face turned pale, but he still waved the flag of the artillery fire.
The first moment the flag was waved, the artillery position was filled with smoke, and it had been prepared. The shells flew into the sky densely.
These shells flew into the sky.The flying speed was not fast, and the shooting speed was not far enough. Seeing them fly lightly over the depression between the two hills, they exploded with a bang.
There was no flying shrapnel or strong fire, only countless sparks falling precariously.
Liang Kai was shocked when he saw it, and said to his companions: "Phosphorus fire bombs, cover your mouth and nose."
Everyone hurriedly took out cloth towels and tied them to their mouths and noses, concentrating on He looked at the mountainous area where more and more enemies were gathering.
The mountain col area is very unfavorable for the cavalry. When charging down the mountain, the horse speed cannot be too fast, otherwise it will fall in the mountain col. After entering the mountain col, the war horse has to adjust its speed, and it will fall in the mountain col. There was a brief pause at the col.
Under the daylight, the phosphorus fire was almost invisible, shakily covering the entire col.
A phosphorus fire fell, and Akedun swept it away with his knife. The flame seemed to suddenly become spiritual, avoiding his long knife, and continued to fall. Seeing it fall on his shoulder, Akedun Dun urged the war horse and casually slapped the flames with his palm.
After his horse started running, Akdun suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palms, and then realized that his palms were actually burning.
It was difficult to extinguish the kerosene like this, so Akedun put his burning hand under his arm and rubbed it back and forth... Then, he found that his shoulder was also on fire.
A phosphorus fire fell on the neck of the war horse. The horse felt pain, hissed, and jumped forward. Akdun, who was trying to put out the fire, was caught off guard and fell off the horse.
Fortunately, the horse did not run very fast. Akdun fell off the horse and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on his body. However, the flames appeared again where the body was pressed against the fire. .
This time, he could see clearly that the flame was actually white.
Fire rain continued to fall from the sky, and the warriors of Jianzhou didn’t care at first. When they discovered that this seemingly weak flame could not be extinguished, poured out, beaten, or buried. , the originally neat formation finally began to fall apart.
Injured and in pain, the uncontrollable war horse carries its owner and rushes forward, relying on instinct to avoid disaster.
The artillery position continued to fire artillery shells into the sky unhurriedly, so in a short period of time, that area of the sky was enveloped in a rain of fire.
Liang Kai sighed, how could he not know the consequences of being enveloped in a rain of fire after seeing the power of phosphorus fire bombs.
Gao Jie looked at the chaotic Jiannu cavalry opposite, with a smile on his lips, and said to Liang Kai: "We only have 500 such ammunition, and they are all consumed here."
Liang Kai looked at Gao Jie licking his lips and said carefully: "The county magistrate said that this thing should not be used lightly."
Gao Jie sneered: "Don't I use it seriously now? We originally wanted to use all the power of Lantian City to give Jiannu a heavy blow to stop them from attacking us.
Who is it?You know, if the county magistrate is not allowed, everyone is not allowed!
My war goal must be achieved. Since there are phosphorus fire bombs available, why should I let my subordinates fight against the Jian slaves to death?
In this battle, we must determine who is the king of the grassland!
I want all Mongolian princes to kneel at my feet and not dare to become slaves! ”
Liang Kai said: “Just use it here. I’m afraid that the general will use it easily and use it everywhere. I would like to suggest that when you use this thing again in the future, please ask the general to reach consensus.” That's good.
Gao Jie said calmly: "All five hundred coins have been burned out. Even if I want to use them, I have no choice." "
Seeing that Gao Jie was unhappy, Liang Kai shut his mouth.
Akedun was sitting in the flames at this time, with no sign of life. The flames were not because of His life was gone, so he let him go and continued to burn his body.
The neck was burned, and the head fell to the ground and continued to burn.
It was a fluke. There were not many cavalrymen who fled back. The cavalry leader Bruzhan felt that after he shot the dynamite that each of them was trying to escape, his body was also ignited by the fire rain. When the armor caught fire, he threw away the armor. When the skin and flesh caught fire, he cut off the burning flesh. .
He staggered out of the fire and rain with a round shield on fire. He was scarred and bleeding profusely.
As a Manchurian Gushan Ezhen. , He has participated in countless battles in his life, and even in the most dangerous times, he is still not one percent like this.
He could hear the retreat horn appearing at the center of the mountain, and saw the layers of people still standing in the mountain col. The burning human and horse corpses, Bruzhan shouted to the sky and cut his own neck with a knife, then fell down on the grass.
Burning white phosphorus is naturally poisonous. It is not just poisonous, some people even do it. When I breathed, I also sucked in the phosphorus fire.
White smoke billowed from the mountain col, and at first there was the sound of people and horses neighing, but soon there was only the sound of burning flames.
Yue Tuo stood on the low hill and felt cold all over.
Three thousand Jianzhou cavalry who had high hopes were destroyed in this way.
It was not that he did not consider Lantian. Because of the strength of the army, he carefully arranged the battlefield. For this reason, in the early stages of the war, he did not hesitate to show weakness to the enemy, just to lure Gao Jie's army to this preset battlefield.
In this. The hilly area can effectively reduce the lethality of Lantian Army's artillery... But...
"Baylor, let's go, Yunjuan's cavalry is coming. "
Yue Tuo's old partner Du Du glanced at the place filled with white smoke and whispered to Yue Tuo.
Yue Tuo whispered: "Let's all retreat. Two paozi build a line of defense. "
Looking again at the place ravaged by the phosphorus fire, Yue Tuo descended the short mountain and walked halfway, but he left the team on horseback and roared towards Yunjuan who had just turned from behind a mountain col.
He felt that he could not cope with that kind ofThe vicious artillery, facing the scene of Yun Juan massacring his infantry, was intolerable.
Seeing a large group of white-armored soldiers turning towards him, Yunjuan shouted and threw out all the grenades on his body. His subordinates also acted according to the law. Before the grenades hit the ground and exploded, they fired Turn around and walk away.
Without the cover of firecrackers and artillery, Yunjuan was not arrogant enough to think that these soldiers under his command were strong enough to compete with Jianzhou's white-armored soldiers.
Since the battle has been won, there are plenty of opportunities to kill the enemy, so there is no need to force yourself at a disadvantage.
The distance between the two armies is a little far, and the grenades cannot kill the white-armored soldiers. The successive explosions of grenades can only delay and delay Yue Tuo.
After the smoke cleared, Yue Tuo stopped his horse and watched as Yunjuan led a group of cavalrymen to continue chasing the other defeated soldiers.
Du Du pulled the reins of Yue Tuo's war horse and said: "Let's go, Yun Juan is tempting us to go where their cannons can reach."
Yue Tuo roared: " We also have cannons!"
"Our cannons are not as good as the other's!"
Du Du gave a random explanation and left in a hurry, dragging Yue Tuo, who was ashamed of his sword. battlefield.
At the same time, his handsome flag was also taken away.
"Yue Tuo is dead!"
I don't know who first noticed that Yue Tuo's handsome flag was missing and started yelling.
At the same time, a heavy marching drum sounded under Gao Jie's handsome flag.
The musketeers who were charging forward with their muskets immediately attached thorns to their muskets, divided into countless small teams, and left the military formation to pounce on the enemy like a tide.
The flames in the mountain col connected together at this time, and then formed a huge fire. The smoke no longer had the choking smell of phosphorus fire. When blown by the wind, there was an indescribable smell of barbecue. It spreads.
Gao Jie is as immovable as a mountain.
Liang Kai resisted the surging annoyance and turned his head away.
The fire gradually extinguished in the evening. Looking towards the fire scene from a distance, there was only a piece of white ashes left there.
Blowed by the evening breeze, some white ashes swirled all the way eastward.
