At dusk, the sunset was like blood, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the battlefield by the Baishui Lake, reflecting a terrible scene, with layers of corpses everywhere and dried blood stains. The 100,000 troops who fought here during the day had receded like a tide, and the remnants of the corpses were covered with blood, covering the scorched earth and white ground, and the dense broken spears and disabled swords and arrows had spread to more than ten miles away, and the cruelty of war was everywhere.

At this time, the camp of the Qin army was a sea of jubilation. From the trenches in front of the battle to the camp in the fence, groups of sweaty soldiers were cheering: "Long live, long live!" Long live King Qin! The soldiers burst into tears of excitement and even raised their heads to the sky and howled. From east to west, from south to north, there were waving flags everywhere, and everywhere was the proud cheers of the Qin artillerymen.

Regardless of the general or the private, no matter what rank, no matter the Han Dynasty, at this moment, everyone's mood is the same. Whether they know each other or not, people pat each other on the shoulders, hug each other, and cheer. The waves of cheers came and went, and as long as one person started, there were dozens, hundreds of spontaneous cheers.

With only 20,000 men and horses, as well as nearly half of the newly assembled troops such as the Fan Han, the United Army, and the Township Soldiers, they not only blocked the ferocious attack of the 70,000 Hu fierce warriors, but also achieved an unprecedented victory. They won an unimaginably huge victory with losses that far exceeded everyone's expectations.

This was also the most dazzling and proud day for the artillery troops, they only had less than ten battalions of artillery, but they directly smashed the entire 30,000 fierce Hu troops. Although the last to give the Hu people a blow was the heavy cavalry of the Heavy Black Banner Army. Seal the win. What expanded the results of the battle was the 5,000 light cavalry that followed the attack, but no one could deny at this time that today's victory, this major victory of defeating the Hu army directly outside the camp in 100 steps, was the foundation laid by the artillery, and the artillery unit was the most dazzling existence in this battle.

The artillerymen can finally proudly raise their heads to everyone and proudly face the other branches of the military. Since then. Who would dare to say that artillery is only auxiliaries, and who would dare to say that artillery can only fight and cooperate?

The artillery unit of the Qin Domain, from today onwards, will be truly famous all over the world.

1,500 flying thunder cannons, 300,000 flying thunderbolts, cluster shelling, fire coverage, barrage attacks, 30,000 Hu people were frightened, and fierce tribal warriors were defeated.

The soldiers of the Black Flag Army were also excited. Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while. As soon as the heavy cavalry came out, the momentum was really magnificent, and the mountains and rivers were earth-shattering. In particular, they already knew that the Black Flag Army would be upgraded to the Black Flag Army from today, and the heavy cavalry in the original army would also be expanded into a dragoon army alone. This is good news for all the soldiers of the entire Black Flag Army, which makes everyone's blood boil and excited. The army was promoted to a corps, and the commander of the army, Li Cunxiao, was officially promoted to the commander of the corps, so that although most of the commanders at all levels of this new corps that will have ten corps under its jurisdiction will be promoted from various armies. But after all, the Black Flag Army was formed with the Black Flag Army as the core, and from top to bottom, almost all the soldiers of the original Black Flag Army ushered in a lucky thing of overall promotion.

The captured Hu army flags were thrown to the ground one by one, and everyone trampled on them excitedly, and then they were hung in front of the camp as an exhibition, and after the future class division, these flags will be included in the glory room of each army for display.

Looking at the jubilant figures, Gongsun Lan couldn't help but burst into tears, and all her worries turned into excitement at this time. The man next to her will always be able to look up to her.

"Win, we win!" Li Jing couldn't help but be excited, and secretly clenched his hands. This victory even exceeded his expectations, he did not expect that the black powder weapon, which was not very powerful, could actually achieve such a victory in this battle. The first large-scale cluster application, the carelessness of the Hu people, and the combination of various factors, finally made the artillery play an unprecedented role. Artillery and their firearms, in this battle, were used to the extreme.

"Let the military doctors immediately ask for help from the wounded, send the soldiers to talk to the soldiers, soothe the hearts of the soldiers after the war, send the monks to clean up the battlefield, chant the scriptures and surpass the soldiers who died in battle, and let the souls of the brave sacrificed warriors return to their hometowns!"

The establishment of monks and Taoist priests in the army is also a new system in the Qin army recently. Li Jing did not agree with Buddhism. However, he did not blindly oppose it, Buddhism, if well guided, can still play a very positive role. However, what is needed is to control things, otherwise, if the Buddha Tao is too powerful, it will be an infringement on the secular world. In the past few years, Li Jing has been openly supporting Shi Dao on the surface, but in fact, he has also been secretly strengthening his control over them.

Nowadays, in the Qin Domain, there are special institutions to control Buddhism and prevent them from expanding too much. Their land was also greatly restricted, and they were subject to the same taxes. In addition to controlling the number of temples and Taoist temples, the number of monks and monks who have been ordained, and the amount of land occupied by temples and Taoist temples, and prohibiting them from keeping slaves, Li Jing also stipulated that they had to pay taxes according to the old seal, and that monks and monks must obtain the official approval of the Qin Domain. In addition, although they do not have to serve in the military, they need to send monks to join the army as monks and Taoist priests, and these monks in the army have to go to the battlefield like Taoist priests, but their task on the battlefield is not to fight and kill the enemy. Rather, like a healer, it has a special effect.

Monks and Taoists in the army are actually equivalent to the role of military priests and psychiatrists in later generations, and let them be responsible for collecting the bones of the dead soldiers after the war, burning ashes and other affairs. These monks and Taoist priests accompanied the army, and the teachings and scriptures propagated were also strictly required. Facts have proved that getting a group of monks and Taoists to accompany the army still has a great pacification effect on the soldiers who are fighting hard.

By the time the cavalry returned, the sun had set.

The soldiers in the camp rushed to the gate of the camp to greet the warriors of today.

When the heavy cavalry returned, they were quite tired, wearing heavy armor, and charging on horseback. Eruptions in a short period of time. Overdrawn a lot of spirit. Now the momentum has passed. Suddenly, the whole person was a little out of strength. Some warriors were so tired that they couldn't even lift their arms, they couldn't get off their horses, and they were so tired that they couldn't even remove the thick armor on their bodies.

The best horses were just as tired at this time, panting and staggering.

The soldiers had already stepped forward to help them remove their armor soaked in blood and sweat, and handed them cold water and towels.

Li Cunxiao, who is extremely dazzling on the battlefield today, is not much better than others. Although he was brave, he was always at the front when he charged, and he took on more pressure. With the help of several soldiers, he stripped off his iron armor and took off his barrel helmet, revealing his tired face inside.

"You're hurt?" Li Jing asked with concern.

"No, it's just a little hot, although this armor is strong, it's too stuffy, and everyone is almost ready to cook." Li Cunxiao smiled. In fact, although there are no penetrating wounds on the body, puncture wounds. But there were many places where the pain was terrible, mostly from blunt objects, but he covered up the pain with a smile: "What His Highness promised me, does it count?" ”

"From now on, Lone will officially promote you to the commander of the Black Flag Legion, and add Jin to make you the Duke of Huai'an County!"

"King Xie Qin's reward!" Li Cunxiao knelt on one knee and said loudly, his tone full of excitement. Among the disciples of King Qin, they were originally marquises, but only Liu Xun had to be promoted to the commander of the Wansheng Legion and promoted to the county prince of Yingcheng after the last victory in Jincheng. Now he has also jumped to the county magistrate and the commander of the legion, and this glory is incomparable.

"Your Highness, I am willing to lead the Black Flag Army to attack Hu's camp at night tonight and break the thieves in one fell swoop!" Li Cunxiao, who had just become the commander of the corps, was in a much more energetic spirit, and shouted for war.

Li Jing shook his head: "You go to rest first, and then come to the king's tent to discuss matters." ”

As the twilight deepened, the Qin army began to light piles of bonfires in the camp to light up the entire camp and the hundred steps in front of the camp to prevent the Hu people from coming to sneak attack.

In the Chinese military tent, Li Jing held a teacup, gently blew away the tea leaves floating on the water, then took a big sip and raised his head, "Has the staff office counted the numbers?" ”

Li Liang got up to report, he was holding a stack of blank papers in his hand, all of which were the figures that had just been counted by the staff officers of the General Staff Office.

"Today's battle, unexpectedly, we won a great victory with 20,000 against 70,000, which is the command of the King of Qin and the hard work of the soldiers. Here, I want to congratulate the King of Qin and the generals, the results just counted, our army lost a total of 837 people in today's battle, including 370 heavy cavalry, and no artillery who held the position was killed or wounded. In addition, there are more than 500 seriously injured people, and the medical battalion is doing its best to treat them, and it is estimated that more than 100 people will be able to return to the army, and more than 100 people will survive, but they will be disabled and can only be discharged from the army in the future, and the remaining half may be difficult to save. ”

Li Jing listened silently, the casualties of the heavy cavalry were still very heavy, two thousand heavy cavalry attacked, nearly 400 were killed in battle, and more than 100 were seriously wounded.

But it's worth the damage. Because the results achieved today are staggering.

In this battle, the tribal coalition army directly annihilated reached nearly 20,000, and there were almost no prisoners. When the Hu people retreated, they did not take the seriously wounded with them, and under the circumstances of the time, serious injuries were equal to death. The Qin army did not spend rich medicinal materials and manpower to rescue these seriously wounded, and directly replenished the knife. Almost all of the lightly injured escaped back, but in the end, the results of the Qin army were still huge. With less than 2,000 casualties, it was exchanged for nearly 20,000 enemy attrition.

Li Cunxiao and the others were all overjoyed, shouting that they would be able to annihilate them in one fell swoop if they gave the Hu people another blow tomorrow, and they didn't even have to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

However, Li Jing was not so optimistic, and he said to Li Liang: "How much ammunition do we have?" ”

This is a key question, today's battle, the fierce shelling, the effect is indeed strong, but Li Jing knows that these are the gains obtained by saturation coverage. The better the artillerymen achieved, the more ammunition they used up.

Li Liang smiled a little helplessly, "I was about to report to King Qin that in today's battle, we used up a full 350,000 catties of ammunition. ”

Li Jing couldn't help but shake his head, this consumption is indeed too powerful. Li Cunxiao still didn't understand the meaning of the figure of 350,000 catties, and said loudly: "This time we moved a lot of gunpowder over, and we just fought for a little more than half a meeting today, so there should be a lot of stock, right?" ”

The other generals, although they felt that today's shelling was very fierce and should have used up a lot of gunpowder, also felt that there were still a lot of them in the army.

Li Liang smacked his mouth, "We still have 100,000 catties of gunpowder!" ”

"100,000 catties? That's a lot. Li Cunxiao muttered.

Gongsun Lan on the side glanced at him, "Today, 350,000 catties of gunpowder have been used up in one day, and there are only 100,000 catties left, which is indeed a lot." But in fact, it is less than a third of today's artillery fire. It's hard to think of a thousand guns firing at the same time as today. ”

"It's impossible, we brought so much gunpowder, and it ran out in one day?" Li Cunxiao was a little unconvinced.

"I brought a total of 500,000 catties, which is a small half of the problem of our Qin Domain's full production in the past few years, and some of the gunpowder produced in these years has been pulled out into the hands of garrisons in various places, and most of the rest has been emptied of the inventory this time. Most of them were given to the five legions of the Northeast Campaign, and a small part of the remaining part was brought to Yunzhou by Marshal Zhang's Western Expeditionary Corps last time, and the remaining 500,000 jin were all taken away on this expedition. Today, 350,000 jin was used, there are still 100,000 jin in the camp, and the remaining 50,000 jin is in the hands of the four-way ambush army on the periphery. Li Liang explained carefully.

Although it has been in full production for several years, it has used up half of it in almost a day, which sounds a little hard to believe, but it is a fact.

For a while, everyone still didn't come back to their senses.

I have just witnessed the huge pressure of artillery fire, but in the blink of an eye, this killer feature has failed, which is indeed a depressing thing. And when they understood that the stockpile of gunpowder was only less than one-third of what was used today, everyone couldn't help but start worrying that if the Hu people attacked again, they were afraid that there would be some trouble next.

"Your Highness, immediately order the four roads to surround the troops, without artillery fire, on this outer plain, relying only on a small village and a few trenches, it is really too risky to deal with 50,000 Hulu." Zhang Chengye once again raised his concerns and said persuasively.

Without sufficient artillery support, it would take at least three days to wait for reinforcements from several other sources to arrive in this unsafe place. Three days, that's too long. Three days was enough time for the Hu people to launch several major offensives. Li Jing also had to reconsider at this time, is his insistence correct?

After pondering for a long time, he still shook his head.

"If we call for reinforcements now, won't our previous efforts be halfway?" Speaking of this, Li Jing's eyes flashed with determination and determination, "Yesterday we faced 70,000 Hu people, and we were not afraid. Today, we have annihilated 20,000 Hu people, but only 2,000 people have been reduced, and only 50,000 Hu people are left, but we still have almost 20,000 people. What's more, now that the Hu people have lost and we have won a new victory, what reason do we have to be afraid? ”

"Tell the soldiers, hold on for another three days, and after three days, reinforcements from all walks of life will surround us, and we will annihilate the remaining 50,000 Hulu in one fell swoop!"

"Yes!" Li Cunxiao was the first to answer loudly without heart and lungs. (To be continued......)
