Chapter 942

"It's boring, it's really boring..." Zhe Kexing muttered, and glanced at the Khitan cavalry who fell in the continuous flames. There was no ripple in his heart, nor any thrill of victory.

Such a one-sided war is like an adult and a child fighting, holding down the opponent and fighting, what's the point?
If you want to blame it, you can blame Dashun's weapons are too advanced, flesh and blood, how can it be an opponent of steel and gunpowder?
Even a war horse is still made of flesh and blood!

If it was Lu Chengqi, it would be different.He is extremely happy to see this kind of scene.There is a movie in later generations called "Burning the Old Summer Palace", which tells the story of 10,000+ "sick men of East Asia" Qing soldiers facing thousands of British and French allied forces on the battlefield.

The Qing soldiers rushed to the front of the British and French allied forces desperately, but were shot by the British and French allied forces in three stages, and they were killed one by one under their horses.

Those who were lucky enough to shoot an arrow on the horse ended up being hit by muskets, and none survived.

In the face of the huge gap in weapons, bows and arrows seem to be children's toys, not worth mentioning.

The lethality of gunpowder weapons is too great, just like what Zhekexing saw immediately, a black grenade ignited, and after being thrown, it either exploded in the air, or exploded on the ground, and the scattered iron pieces were as lethal as three four feet.Grenades and Hongxiang rifles formed an insurmountable line of fire.This is a land of death, and any flesh and blood body here will only end in death.

In war, no one is immortal.

But the way of death was too terrifying and incomprehensible, and it was the root cause of the collapse of morale.

When King Liu was knocked to the ground by the aftermath of the grenade, the Khitan cavalry behind him immediately lost their morale, and all of them reined in their horses in unison, and ran back like crying for their father and mother.

Liu Wang was ordered to die, but he was stunned and passed out.

Of course, when he managed to open his eyes, he saw his own soldiers and horses, fleeing in panic like bereaved dogs, and he was so depressed that he spat out a mouthful of old blood.

The ears seemed to be deafened and kept buzzing; the body was thrown off the horse, and several bones seemed to be broken.But the pain in the body is nothing compared to the pain in the heart.Seeing the scattered and defeated tribes, he even wanted to die.

"Loss, crushing defeat, crushing defeat!" He shouted like a madman, "Daliao, what kind of devil is your opponent!"

At this time, the corpse collection team of the Imperial Army also came up.

"There is a living person here!"

"What is he shouting about?"

"I don't understand Khitan dialect, who can understand it?"

"I heard that the Chinese army has documents, so I can understand a little..."

"Tie him up?"

"He's wounded, and he can't escape without being tied up. Bandage him up and send him to a prisoner-of-war camp..."

……

At this time, King Liu's hearing recovered a little.Hearing the voices of the Imperial Guard soldiers around him, he had long since lost love, and suddenly said loudly in Chinese: "Kill me, I will never be captured!" He was so badly injured that he couldn't even move a finger.If not, he would rather kill himself than fall into the hands of the Han people.

"Yo, you still have a big temper?"

"Looks like a senior Khitan official, let's report it to the general."

"Take him away!"

……

A group of Imperial Guard soldiers brought a simple stretcher and put King Liu on it.Fearing that he would move around, he was tied up with a rope.

This was the left side, because the rout happened so quickly and suddenly that the rest of the Liao army didn't know it.

Even if they knew about it, they would be too late to help, because they were also unable to protect themselves.

The seed clinic left almost all the mother and son cannons to the front-facing king of Chu, and a few to the rear army's seedlings.

Just these few cannons are enough for King Wu and King Wuxie to drink a pot.With the Hongxiang rifle, they dug deep trenches, like a rabbit pulling a turtle, unable to start.Moreover, bows and arrows can't reach far, but Hongxiang rifles and cannons can continue to fall on their heads.Even many of the imperial guards went through the trenches and shot at them, making them miserable.They have never encountered this kind of war where they can only be beaten but not fought back.

"The Han people are as cunning as a fox!" King Wu cursed fiercely, and he was forced to evacuate five miles away, commanding the battle from afar.

King Wuxie said: "The Han people have always been like this, and it's useless to complain. It's better for the cavalry to dismount and cooperate with the Han army to fight in from the trench." The Han army they mentioned was composed of Han slaves in the territory of the Liao Kingdom. The army has always been the object of coolies and oppression.The nomads seem to like this kind of evil the most, letting the Han beat the Han so that they can follow behind to pick up the bargain.

When the King of Wu heard this, it seemed that there was only one way to do it: "The Han people will use such indiscriminate methods. How can this be a field battle? It is clearly a siege battle!"

"The Han people use the terrain, and we can also use the terrain. We can't blame the Han people for being cunning, but we didn't expect it. It is said in the military book that soldiers are not tired of deceit, so this is nothing." King Wuxie took it seriously.

The cavalry dismounted!
After Zhong Er got the news, he made a decisive decision and sent all the musketeers and bombardiers to the trenches.He could see that only the trenches can make the firearms exert their greatest power.There are criss-crossing firepower nets, and there are even bunkers on high places.Isn't this just a small city?
You know, after digging the criss-cross trenches and the dotted bunkers, the auxiliary soldiers dug up countless iron catalpas!

Now is the time to test the results.

As expected, this is also a one-sided war.

The Hongxiang rifle combined with the grenade formed a wall of death.Without speed, the Khitan and Han slave army could not walk within fifty paces.

The Khitans were also brave, and they managed to throw their bows and arrows into the trenches, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

A single bullet from a musket can take away a Khitan, but the Khitan's bow and arrow may not be able to hit the vital point of the imperial army even if it is shot several times.The rest of the parts are all protected by chain mail.

Even many of the imperial guards were equipped with bayonets. They were afraid that the Khitans would rush to the front and they would not be able to fight back immediately.

It's just that they underestimated the power of firearms too much. No one would have thought that firearms, which are normally cold, would actually become a sharp weapon to harvest human lives at this moment.

"No wonder His Majesty's Infantry Manual says, 'Use infinite violence to annihilate the enemy's combat power. To achieve this goal, only the momentum of the combination of maneuver and firepower'. Before, I didn't understand what firepower is, but now I have seen it... ..." Seeing the enemies being blown away one by one, Zhong Er said inexplicably in shock.

The battle didn't last long. No matter how hard the Liao army tried, they couldn't break through this perfect crossfire under the useless efforts.If a bunker is barely breached, it can only lead to the discovery of two or three imperial guards.These two or three guards were not afraid of death, they picked up a strange gun and fought several Khitan soldiers to death before they were stabbed several times and died in battle.

The Liao army was terrified of being beaten. When more than ten thousand soldiers fell under the firearms, morale finally loosened a little.

A soldier couldn't bear such a cruel battle, and ran back suddenly with a strange cry.

"Stop, deserters, cut!"

King Wu was so angry that he bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot the escaped man to death.

But fear is contagious, King Wu can shoot one, he can shoot two, but what about a hundred, a thousand, 1?
The Khitan soldiers, who were defeated like a mountain, only hated their parents for losing two legs, and ran to the ownerless horses crying.Even though King Wu and King Wuxie tried their best to stop it, there was little effect.

Seeing the opportunity, Zhong Er ordered: "Use cannons, blast for two rounds, and then the whole army will attack!"
