Chapter 175 The war began in a new way

"Boom!"

A cannon shot came from the side.

Gao Jie followed the prestige, only to see a black dot flying from behind the hill, followed by seven or eight roars.

The cannonball landed in the clearing, bounced off the solid rock, and finally flew to a halt not far from Gao Jie.

The rest of the shells were more or less the same, but their target was not Gao Jie's handsome banner, 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 eighteen-pounder cannonball.

Then throwing away the cannonballs, Gao Jie said to his personal guards: "Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi" is behind the hill and catches them! “

The leader of the guards answered, and with five hundred horsemen, he braved the flying cannonballs and plunged straight into the inconspicuous hill.

When the military judge Liang Kai saw that there were only a few dozen people left around the general, and most of them were scribes, he said to Gao Jie: "General, we should either advance and join the firecrackers, or retreat and join the artillery."

Now, our army has been divided into two parts, and I am afraid that we will take advantage of the slaves. ”

Gao Jie took out his long knife and smiled, and said to Liang Kai: "You are a civil official?" ”

Liang Kai was stunned for a moment, and immediately pulled out his long knife and said: "It's a civil official, but when it comes to killing the enemy, ordinary generals are not as good as me." ”

As Liang Kai pulled out the long knife, the rest of the clerks also put away their pen and ink, and also pulled out the long knife from their waists, and some even had prepared firearms.

There is basically no difference between literati and martial artists in Lantian County.

When they put on Confucian shirts, they are scholars, and when they hang up swords, they become warriors.

Gao Jie looked at the enemy's right flank that had not yet moved, and said softly: "You can't let Lao Tzu strip naked, you will only move, right?" ”

Before the words fell, a group of men and horses rushed from behind the slope of the right flank, it was the Jianzhou cavalry.

"Assemble a defensive line!"

Liang Kai shouted, and a group of clerks stood in front of Gao Jie, facing the cavalry.

Gao Jie laughed and said, "It's finally out." ”

Liang Kai said loudly: "Please retreat quickly." ”

Seeing the cavalry galloping with thousands of horses and charging over like a sea of mountains, Gao Jie smiled and said: "What to retreat, let's take a closer look at the last glory of the Jianzhou cavalry today." ”

Liang Kai said anxiously: "The general must not be in danger!" ”

Gao Jie took out his long knife and said to Liang Kai: "If I leave, Jiannu will not continue to charge, order, open the cannon!" ”

Liang Kai's face turned pale, but he still waved the flag fired by the artillery.

At the very first moment when the flag waved, the artillery positions were filled with gunsmoke, and the shells that had been prepared for a long time flew into the sky in dense turns.

The shells didn't fly fast or far enough, and they exploded with a thud as they flew lightly over the hollow between the two hills.

There was no flying shrapnel, no intense fire, just countless sparks falling staggeringly.

When Liang Kai saw it, he was shocked, and said to his companion: "Phosphorus fire bomb, cover your mouth and nose." ”

Everyone hurriedly took out cloth towels and tied them to their mouths and noses, and looked intently at the mountain col where the enemy was accumulating more and more.

The col area is very unfavorable for the cavalry, when charging down the mountain, the horse speed must not be too fast, otherwise it will fall into the col, after entering the col, the horse has to adjust the speed, there will be a short pause at the col.

In the daytime, the phosphorus fire was barely visible, and it shakily enveloped the entire col.

A phosphorus fire fell, Akdun swept away with a swing of his knife, this flame seemed to suddenly have a spirituality, avoided his long knife, continued to fall, and saw it fall on his shoulder, Akdun casually slapped on the flame while urging the war horse.

After his war horse ran, Akdun suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm, and then he realized that his palm was actually burning.

The oil was so hard to extinguish that it was hard to extinguish, so Akdun put his burning hand under his arm and rubbed it back and forth...... Then, he noticed that his shoulder was also starting to catch fire.

A phosphorus fire fell on the neck of the war horse, and the war horse was in pain, neighed, and jumped forward, and Akdun, who was trying to extinguish the fire, was caught off guard and fell off the warhorse.

Fortunately, the war horse did not run very quickly, and Akdun, who had fallen off the horse, rolled on the ground for a while, trying to extinguish the flames on his body, however, the flames appeared again at the fire that was pressed by the body.

This time, he could see very clearly that the flames were actually white.

The sky was constantly falling rain of fire, and the warriors of Jianzhou didn't care, when they found that this seemingly weak flame could not be extinguished, extinguished, extinguished, and buried, the original neat formation finally began to scatter.

The uncontrollable war horse, which was injured and painful, rushed out with its owner stabbing obliquely, relying on instinct to avoid disaster.

The artillery positions were still firing shells into the sky, so in a short time, that part of the sky was covered with a rain of fire.

Liang Kai sighed, how could he, who had seen the power of phosphorus fire bombs, not know the consequences of being shrouded in fire rain.

Gao Jie looked at the Jiannu cavalry that was already in chaos on the opposite side, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said to Liang Kai: "We only have five hundred such ammunition, all of which are consumed here." ”

Liang Kai looked at Gao Jie licking his lips, and said carefully: "The county lord said that this thing should not be used lightly. ”

Gao Jie sneered: "Isn't it reused now? Originally, I wanted to use all the power of Lantian City to deal a heavy blow to Jiannu, so that they would never want to invade us.

Who knows, the county is not allowed, and everyone is not allowed!

Lao Tzu's war purpose must be achieved, since there are phosphorus bombs that can be used, why should Lao Tzu let his subordinates fight Jiannu to the death?

In this battle, it is necessary to determine who is the king of the grassland!

Lao Tzu wants all the Mongolian princes to kneel at Lao Tzu's feet, and they dare not cling to Jiannu! ”

Liang Kai said: "It's just a matter of using it here, I'm afraid that the general will use it easily, and I will use it anywhere, and I suggest that when I use this thing again in the future, I will ask the general to reach the consensus of the people." ”

Gao Jie said lightly: "All the five hundred pieces are gone, Lao Tzu just wants to use it, but he can't use it." ”

Seeing that Gao Jie was unhappy, Liang Kai also closed his mouth.

Akdun was sitting in the flames at this time, there was no sign of life, and the flames did not let him go because his life was gone, and continued to scorch his body.

The neck burned off, and the head fell to the ground and continued to burn.

There were not many cavalrymen who escaped back, and the cavalry leader Bruzhan felt that after shooting the Ming Di that each fled for his life, his body was also ignited by the rain of fire, and when the armor was on fire, he discarded the armor, and when the flesh was on fire, he cut off the flesh that was on fire.

He staggered out of the rain of fire with a round shield on fire, he was already scarred and bleeding.

As a Manchurian Gushan Ezhen, he participated in countless wars in his life, even in the most dangerous times, not even one percent of the moment.

Hearing the retreat horn of the Chinese army, and seeing the layers of burning corpses of men and horses in the mountain col, Blu Zhan shouted to the sky and swung his knife to cut his neck, and fell headlong on the grass.

White phosphorus combustion is naturally toxic, not only poisonous, some people even inhale phosphorus fire when breathing.

White smoke billowed from the col, and at first there was the neighing of men and horses, and soon there was only the sizzle of burning fire.

Yue Tuo stood on the low hill and was cold.

The three thousand Jianzhou cavalry, which he had high hopes for, were destroyed in this way.

He didn't take into account the strength of the Lantian army, for this reason, he carefully arranged the battlefield, for this reason, in the early stage of the war, he did not hesitate to show the enemy weakness, just to lure Gao Jie's army to this preset battlefield.

In this hilly area, the artillery lethality of the Lantian Army can be effectively reduced...... But......

"Baylor, let's go, the cavalry of the cloud scroll is coming."

Yue Tuo's old partner Du Du glanced at the place filled with white smoke and whispered to Yue Tuo.

Yue Tuo said in a low voice: "Let's all retreat and build a defense line in Erdao Bubble." ”

Glancing again at the place where the phosphorus fire had been raging, Yue pulled down the low hill and walked halfway, but left the group on his horse, roaring towards the cloud that had just turned behind a col.

He felt that he could not cope with the vicious artillery, and he could not bear the scene of Yunjuan slaughtering his men.

Seeing a large group of white-armored soldiers turning around him, Yunjuan shouted and threw all the grenades on his body, and his subordinates also acted according to the law, and before the grenades landed and exploded, they turned their horses' heads and left.

Breaking away from the cover of firearms and artillery, Yunjuan was not arrogant and thought that these soldiers under his command were strong enough to fight with the white armor soldiers of Jianzhou.

Now that the battle has been won, there is a chance to kill the enemy, and there is no need to fight hard at a disadvantage.

The distance between the two armies was a little far, and the grenades could not kill and injure the white-armored soldiers, and the grenades exploded one after another, which could only serve the purpose of delaying and delaying Yue Tuo.

After the smoke cleared, Yue Tuo stopped his horse's hooves and watched as Yun Scroll continued to chase down the other routs with a group of cavalry.

Du Du grabbed the reins of Yue Tuo's war horse and said, "Let's go, the clouds are luring us to a place where their cannons can reach." ”

Yue Tuo roared angrily: "We also have cannons! ”

"Our artillery is inferior to each other!"

Du Du gave an explanation indiscriminately, and dragged Yue Tuo, who was difficult to sheath his sword, and hurriedly left the battlefield.

At the same time, he also took away his handsome flag.

"Yue Tuo is dead!"

I don't know who first noticed that Yue Tuo's handsome flag was missing, and began to shout.

At the same time, under Gao Jie's handsome flag, a heavy marching drum sounded.

The musketeers, who had been marching in with muskets in the forest, immediately loaded their muskets with spears, divided into countless squads, and left the army to pounce on the enemy like a tide.

At this time, the flames in the col joined together, and then formed a sky-high fire, and there was no longer a choking smell of phosphorus fire in the smoke, and when the wind blew, an indescribable smell of barbecue spread.

Gao Jie is as immobile as a mountain.

Liang Kai endured the constant surging annoyance and turned his head over.

The fire did not gradually extinguish until evening, and when I looked at the fire from a distance, there was only a patch of white ashes.

Under the blowing of the evening breeze, some white ashes swirled all the way to the east.
