The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 183 Cutting Wheat

The two groups of people and horses were in tandem, but the ones in front were cavalry and archers, and those behind were just cavalry. After leaving behind several horse corpses, the cavalry of Chen Qiyu's army knew that this pursuit would be fruitless, and the cavalry would be lost in vain. That’s all.

So they gave up the pursuit.

When Gao Yingxiang saw this, he immediately changed his formation. What they had to do was to kill the enemy as much as possible. To put it bluntly, it was like a fly. It couldn't kill you, a big black dragon, but it would make you sick.

The other party was obviously aware of Gao Yingxiang's intention.

Qiu Zhaolin looked around. Due to the terrain restrictions, they had no way to deal with the rangers. However, these cavalry could not consume too many of their manpower.

Their army only needs to advance steadily. When the terrain in front of the city opens up, these cavalry will naturally lose their effectiveness.

On the other side, the cavalry led by Yang Lichao did not fare as smoothly as Gao Yingxiang. They had to retreat after the enemy's cavalry appeared.

After all, the purpose of their coming out of the city is to harass and kill the enemy as much as possible, not to fight the enemy.

There are too many infantrymen on the other side.

If you are not careful, you will be swallowed by the other party.

Yang Lichao and others retreated into the city. Their next role was to wait for the opponent to retreat after a failed wave of sieges. It was a fly tactic. It disgusts you all the time. You can't kill me yet.

Liu Zhenhua stood on the city wall and watched the surrounding armies approaching. After leaving the narrow road, those people began to spread, just like the Yellow River entering the sea, and began to cover the entire Heshui County.

Many, too many.

Liu Zhenhua looked up and saw that almost everywhere around him was filled with people.

"It's hard to imagine what it was like in the past when hundreds of thousands of people fought at every turn." Hundreds of thousands of people, but if you think about it, you will know that these hundreds of thousands of people will probably use the old, weak, sick and disabled people as well as those who have food and grass. That’s included.

But this is already a lot.

The cavalry from the three parties has rushed back, and most of the horses are stained with blood, but many teams have remained healthy and there has been almost no loss of troops.

However, there was another team. Liu Zhenhua set up his sniper rifle and saw a figure in a white robe, constantly pulling against the infantry team. The infantry team was getting closer and closer to Heshui.

However, every time they advance a certain distance, dozens of corpses are always left behind.

"sharp."

Liu Zhenhua could see clearly through the sniper scope. Gao Yingxiang's shooting skills could be described as flawless. Each arrow would take away a horse.

This man specializes in shooting horses, and his arrows are rarely seen piercing people.

And the angle is very tricky, almost always shooting at the horse's eyes.

Gao Yingxiang alone caused six horses to fall to the ground. Although the cavalry on top fell miserably, most of their deaths were due to trampling.

The same is true for the infantry who were shot behind. This is one of the reasons why in ancient wars, the infantry could not escape before the battle. There were too many people, and if they tried to turn around and escape, they would be trampled.

Unless there are too many people running away! Create a trend!

Otherwise, just turning around one or two times is simply seeking death. Therefore, it is better to just rush forward and try your hand at glory and wealth.

"It's time to come back."

Liu Zhenhua muttered that the opponent's infantry had already spread out. In this kind of terrain, the harassing rangers would easily be swallowed up by the infantry's formation.

Even though Gao Yingxiang has beaten the opponent so hard that he has no power to fight back, if he really falls into such a huge military formation, he may not be able to make waves at all, and it may even be worse than being surrounded by the same number of infantry!

"boom!"

Liu Zhenhua pulled the trigger, and the head of a cavalryman following Gao Yingxiang exploded instantly.

After all, Liu Zhenhua had been using his sniper rifle for a while, and now it was easy to hit a moving target.

The opponent's infantry formation has begun to approach, and Liu Zhenhua is about to start reducing the opponent's numbers.

Gao Yingxiang changed his target and was shocked. This was the first time he saw Kitchen King kill the enemy with his magic weapon at such a close range.

His head was blown to pieces in an instant. It was a hit on a person, but Gao Yingxiang felt that if it was a hit on a horse, the result would probably be the same.

Compared to the power of arrows, this divine weapon is as powerful as heaven and earth.

It is indeed a magic weapon.

He killed a pursuer behind him with one arrow.

"retreat!"

Gao Yingxiang shouted.

"it is good!"

The surrounding cavalry responded. They had followed Gao Yingxiang for a long time, but they had never seen Gao Yingxiang perform on a frontal battlefield for the first time.

Now that I see them, I am convinced. Their ability to shoot one arrow at a time looks almost the same as that of the Kitchen King.

Although it is not as shocking as the Stove King, it is enough for a human being to be proud of being compared with the reincarnation of a god.

The tail of the cavalry team turned into the leader and headed towards Heshui.

Although there were tens of thousands of people behind them, looking at the tall city wall in the distance, they felt confident in their hearts.

Because the Kitchen King is there.

Liu Zhenhua focused his attention on the centurions and thousands of captains in the team. These people were very conspicuous among the infantry teams.

The other party's generals must have gone into hiding when they learned the news about him, but these centurions and thousands of captains who needed to command their men to convey orders were not so lucky.

By the way, there are also those soldiers who convey signals.

The most important thing is that killing these people is equivalent to destroying the opponent's signal transmission. It cannot be said that the enemy will become confused instantly, but at least it can delay the time to change tactics.

On the battlefield, the most precious thing is time.

Liu Zhenhua's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly looked at a soldier who looked unusually dressed.

He probably looked like a centurion. After all, at the level of a centurion, he didn't have to change his clothes.

If you go one step further and reach the level of a centurion, you will have more iron armor on your body.

Generally speaking, ordinary soldiers almost all wear cloth and cotton armor.

The difference between these two types of armor in the sniper scope is still very obvious.

Liu Zhenhua pulled the trigger.

"Captain Li!"

In the infantry formation, a chest exploded, and a bloody corpse fell to the ground.

Mr. Li's eyes were still wide open, and he seemed to be a little stubborn.

The surrounding infantrymen exclaimed, but due to the quality of warriors, they still maintained their formation.

On the march, they had heard about the reputation of the Kitchen King, but they didn't expect that it was actually like a legend. The only deviation was that the people killed by the Kitchen King had their heads exploded, but this one's chest was blown to pieces. .

Liu Zhenhua touched his nose. It was too far. Although the range of the Barrett sniper rifle was long, once the distance was far, the bullet would fall. This is why the captain's chest exploded when he died.

The death row prisoners surrounded by infantrymen were shivering. They listened to the faint noises in the distance, and they trembled every time there was a noise.

Some of these death row prisoners had escaped from Heshui, so they naturally knew what the sound meant.

However, the man didn't seem to be staring at them. They opened their eyes and looked around. There was no death row prisoner dead, or maybe it was too far away from them and they didn't see it. After all, there were quite a lot of death row prisoners staying here.

They were not even issued weapons. Chen Qiyu completely wanted to use them as cannon fodder, as long as they kept rushing forward on the battlefield and blocked the first wave of the Kitchen King's magical soldiers.

Before the soldiers had time to think too much, there was another scream not far away because another captain died.

The death was miserable, but this time, it was the same as in the legend, with the head exploding to death.

The soldiers were all frightened.

Liu Zhenhua saw a group of special people in the sniper scope. Those people were all wearing prison uniforms. This time Chen Qiyu asked these prisoners to play without even giving them soldiers' clothes. He almost told you frankly that I am the Stove King. Use these death row prisoners to deal with your magic weapons.

“The last time I co-wrote it was these people.”

Liu Zhenhua was a little dumbfounded. The last time he looked around at the city head wearing a general's uniform, those who were killed by him but still climbed up the city wall one by one should be death row prisoners.

Since ancient times, it has been common for people on death row to be used as dead soldiers. Liu Zhenhua has also seen it in some books and movies, but this is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes.

It can't be said to be inhumane. The battlefield has always been a life-and-death situation. The phrase "use every possible means" is just appropriate to use here.

The opponent's military formation advanced again, and was less than a thousand meters away from Heshui.

"fire."

Liu Zhenhua turned around and gave the order.

Ancient artillery still hit very far.

Although it is impossible to maintain accuracy at a distance of one thousand meters, with such a dense military formation, as long as the direction is correct, you can easily kill some people with your eyes closed.

The two artillery pieces took turns bombarding.

The other party was moving forward leisurely.

I guess the order hasn't spread completely yet.

Chen Qiyu listened to the situation on the battlefield. Commanders and centurions were being sniped and killed by the Kitchen King. Moreover, he also heard the sound of artillery.

The other side is already trying every possible way to reduce the number of people in their team.

"Attack the entire army! Siege the city from all sides!"

Chen Qiyu said almost roaring.

"Siege!"

"Woo!"

"Dong dong dong."

The war drums and horns sounded almost at the same time, along with the military flags flying.

A chilling atmosphere instantly filled the air.

The army quickened its pace almost at the same time.

Liu Zhenhua's ears were filled with the sounds of soldiers "drinking, drinking, drinking" in the distance.

This is a way to keep a unified pace and keep the military formation in order while moving forward as quickly as possible.

Just like one, two, one, two, one.

"Machine guns ready, firecrackers ready."

The effective range of the Maxim machine gun is a full two thousand meters, and the maximum range is 3,500 meters. However, Liu Zhenhua is pursuing the same number of bullets to kill the enemy as much as possible.

The farther the bullet travels, the less kinetic energy it carries, and the penetration and power will decrease in a straight line.

The distance of about 800 meters is just right.

"There are two artillery pieces in the city, but they have been attracted by the main attacking troops," Qiu Zhaolin listened to the sound in the distance.

They knew that Zao Wang had two cannons.

This is what the imperial court originally brought, but now it is cheaper than the Kitchen King.

Geng Zhangguang and Geng Ruqi felt uneasy, suppressing the fact that they were more than two thousand steps away from the city. However, they were still a little worried because the Kitchen King's magical weapon was specially designed to attack generals.

After a while, they saw that no one around them was injured, and they breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Governor Chen's idea was right. As long as the Kitchen King was involved, people in other directions could attack the city with confidence.

"Those who die first will be judged by their merits. Our soldiers will definitely not be afraid of death and seize the city." Qiu Zhaolin did not look back at the expressions of Geng Zhangguang and his masters.

He said to himself.

At present, all his strategies are useless in attacking the city.

We can only put some effort into arranging the troops. Those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for good deeds should be in the middle, those who are completely dedicated to the death of soldiers should be in the front, and those who are quick and agile should be in the back.

The third wave of people with quick hands and feet is the main force of the siege, and the first two waves are cover.

"With the strength of the Kitchen King, it is estimated that the city will be broken by Heshui in less than three hours. Brother Geng, which wall do you think will be the first to break through?"

Qiu Zhaolin turned to look at Geng Ruqi.

The latter shook his head and said, "Do your best and obey fate."

He pointed to the sky and said.

"Haha, Brother Geng, you and I are both scholars. Today, we can't compare with people. Everything depends on man. Brother Geng must also know that everything depends on God. We can't be the master of this province. Besides, right now, Under such circumstances, even if the Kitchen King invites heavenly soldiers and generals, it will be difficult for him to resist us."

Qiu Zhaolin could tell that these two people had been scared out of their wits by the Stove King. He only found out these days that Geng Zhangguang and Geng Ruqi had faced off against the Stove King.

It was probably that failure that left the two of them with a psychological shadow. Qiu Zhaolin couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous. Like father, like son.

Seemingly sensing the contempt in Qiu Zhaolin's eyes, Geng Zhangguang was a little angry. He was about to say something but was stopped by Geng Ruqi, "Brother Qiu, facts speak louder than words. As generals, we must put war first."

After saying that, Geng Ruqi turned his gaze to the battlefield in the distance.

"Yes."

Qiu Zhaolin also understood the importance of the situation and turned to look at the battlefield.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

The infantry formation advanced two hundred steps when a soft sound suddenly came from the distance.

Geng Ruqi and Geng Zhangguang felt a thump in their hearts. This must be the sound made by the Stove King's magical weapon.

Qiu Zhaolin frowned, not knowing what happened.

From their position, they could only vaguely see that the military formation in front was slightly chaotic.

The soldiers fell like wheat.

More than 10,000 people were arranged on a strategic width of less than one kilometer wide. Although they could not be said to be people next to each other, at this density, two bullets from the Maxim machine gun would almost certainly hit one person. After penetrating one person, it would slow down. These powerful bullets penetrated the second man's chest.

The bullets from a bullet chain were fired in almost twenty breaths.

"It's cool! It's cool!"

Wang Shun and other members of the machine gun team looked at this scene with red eyes. The man holding the machine gun was trembling. He didn't know whether it was because of excitement or something. The scene he had imagined countless times in his mind finally appeared.

They seemed to be holding sickles in their hands, while the other party was holding strands of wheat. The sickles were waved, and the wheat fell down in rows, and military achievements were recorded.
