back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 943 Pursuit
The mother and child cannons fired so quickly that they didn't even have time to adjust their shooting.

In fact, there are Khitan people all over the mountains and plains, so there is no need to adjust too precisely, as long as the muzzle of the gun is aimed at the enemy's position, one round will pass.

Compared with an army of more than [-] people, the chance of the shells falling on the head is not high, and the explosive shells are not far away, at most two miles.After more than a mile, the accuracy is completely gone.

It happened so that the Khitan soldiers, who were already defeated, escaped faster.

Who knows when that "demonic law" will fall on his head?
What people fear most is always the unknown.For example, ghosts, no one has ever seen them, but they can't help being afraid.People are often scared to death by "ghosts", but in fact they are just scaring themselves.The current Khitan people are like this, even though the shells can't fall on their heads, they cry for their father and mother, desperately trying to escape.

So much so that along the way, those who were trampled to the ground, those who were pushed to the ground, and those who were trampled into meat paste were countless.If someone counts, the number of people trampled to death is several times more than the number of soldiers who died in the charge.

At this moment, the Han slave army bursting with desire to survive exploded with enormous energy.The Khitan people who they dared not resist on weekdays were all knocked to the ground by them, stepping forward with all their might.Along the way, they were the ones who "killed" the most Khitans. This is really ironic.

Seeing that the Khitan people had been defeated, Zhong Er raised a cruel sneer at the corner of his mouth.He is ruthless to his own people, and even more ruthless to the enemy: "The whole army attacks!!!"

The exciting drum beat sounded, and the sound of "Boom, boom, boom..." stirred people's hearts.

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"

The soldiers of the Imperial Army chanted slogans, and as the drums became more and more intensive, they jumped out of the trenches, holding crossbows or Hongxiang rifles, shouting "Surrender without killing", chasing the defeated soldiers all over the mountains and plains.

With the battle at this point, there is no suspense anymore.

Zhong Er usually looks gentle and refined, but at this moment he has completely transformed into a cold-blooded killer, with a bloodthirsty expression and a state of excitement, even he himself can't explain clearly. "Do you still want to strike at halfway? Don't even see if you have the strength!" He murmured and looked back to the front.Although it is not very clear, you can also see the smoke of gunpowder everywhere, and the pungent smell of saltpeter is carried by the wind.

"Those who do not surrender will be killed on the spot!"

As soon as he drank suddenly, he wanted to get off his horse and attack with the army.

But unexpectedly, he was hugged tightly by the soldiers: "Old Jinglue, you can't do it!"

"What can't be done?" Zhong Er used a gun, but his tiger-headed gun was held tightly by another soldier, and he refused to let go no matter what.

The other two soldiers also hugged him by the waist: "You are a general, how can you rush to kill? If there is any good or bad, we can't stand that military law!"

Zhong Er was taken aback for a moment, and let go.Military law, he was never afraid of military law before.Isn't it just a stick? Which capable general has never had military law?If they are all obedient children, the soldiers don't need to be led.

But the current military law office is different, it is generally confined.The confinement was horrible, the hut was so dark that there was no light to be seen.No one talks to you, even the soldiers who deliver the food are silent.You don't have to stay for two days and you're going crazy.You don't need to try, you know the feeling of loneliness, he absolutely dare not try it yourself.It's okay to beat a stick, but it will hurt for four or five days at most.However, he was locked up in confinement for more than ten days, and Zhong Er didn't know if he could make it through.

"It's a pity that my tiger-headed golden spear cannot drink blood!"

Chong Er resentfully shook off the two soldiers, and walked silently to the bunker high above the trench.Holding up the binoculars, he no longer looked at the battle in front of him, but crossed the army to see the situation of the Musk River twenty miles away.

On the banks of the Musk River, the battle is raging.

The soldiers of the king of Chu are also considered sturdy.Although repulsed, but in an orderly manner.He retreated two miles, but still looked like he was ready to attack at any time.

Although this telescope is said to be thousands of miles away, in fact, at most it can see clear scenes ten miles away, and it will be blurred at any distance.

Zhong Er still relied on his years of experience in the army to judge the situation of the enemy and us, and murmured: "This is the Liao army! The previous ones were all mobs, not just enemies!"

The soldiers on the side had also been on the battlefield, fighting with the Khitan people in Datong Mansion no less than dozens of times.During the Yuanshou period, the Khitan people would go south every year to raid grass valleys. Although the frontier army of Datong Mansion was strong, they had to rely on the city to defend it, so they could barely hold it.If you want to pursue it, it is absolutely invincible.Why is the situation so upside down today? Could it be that the Khitan people have been eating dry food for more than ten years?
It's not that they can't figure it out, but that they have become too powerful.The opponent who was so strong that it seemed invincible in the past has long been vulnerable.

Only the commander-in-chief Zhong Dian understood that this was nothing more than the private army of Khitan princes and nobles, basically a group of mobs.What is coming is Khitan's most elite palace tent army, the situation needs to be discussed.

The palace tent army of the Liao Kingdom is famous for never retreating in deadly battles.If you want to confront them head-on, you must be mentally prepared to bleed to the end.

But most of these forbidden troops have just entered the battlefield, and they are inferior to the frontier troops.Some people even vomited when they saw the broken limbs.

A soldier who has never seen blood, no matter how old the soldier is, is still a recruit.A recruit can become a veteran only if he has seen the cruelty of the battlefield.

To the doctor's relief, the small officers of the Imperial Army looked as usual.These gang heads, army heads, ten generals, generals, Yuhou, Chengju, detainees, Xiangzheng, deputy commander, Duyuhou, Junzheng, deputy commander, Duyuhou, commander, deputy commander, and Dutou The first class and deputy capital are all soldiers who performed well in the previous bandit suppression and were promoted.And those imperial soldiers before, those who did not make meritorious service and were promoted, and who were over 30 years old, all retired and returned to their hometowns to farm.

Lu Chengqi's idea of ​​​​building an army is actually like this, retaining the backbone, using officers as the backbone, and training recruits.In this way, the combat effectiveness of soldiers will not be reduced too much.Eliminating older soldiers can ensure the vitality of the imperial army.If it weren't for the tense battle now, Lu Chengqi really wanted to change soldiers every three years, or at worst every five years.The military pay of veterans is too expensive, and the national treasury has long been overwhelmed!

Seed clinics know that they can't delay any longer, but in fact they don't have any real advantage.If the Khitans came back to their senses and began to harass them continuously, they would turn from an advantage to a passive one.

If you want to firmly hold the initiative of the war in your hands, you must force the Liao Kingdom to fight a decisive battle!

"Cross the river and pursue!"

The doctor ordered suddenly and loudly, "The artillery will extend its firepower to cover!"

"Order!!!"

The artillerymen began to replace the shells. The flower shells are used to kill, but not far.If you want to hit far, you have to rely on solid shells.
