A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 328 Fight
In order to be able to hit the large tent of the Chinese army behind the enemy in one go, Xiao Qian also used his rich knowledge of modern science to change the structure of the artillery carriage, making its range much longer.The stones thrown by ordinary artillery carts can fly about 150 meters, but Xiao Qian's improved artillery cart has a range of 500 meters.

As soon as the siege horn sounded, the first artillery bombarded the rear army position where Baishan was located.

Although Bai Shan had heard about Xiao Qian's fire bombs, they were extremely powerful.But he had never seen it before. Looking at the black ball with sparks flying towards him, he was surprised that Yizhou City could throw things so far!He was still staring curiously, seeing that the arc of the flight was impossible to hit him, so he didn't take precautions.

However, there was a sudden bang, and the thing exploded before it hit the ground. Immediately, iron pieces and steel balls flew randomly, and a piece of iron the size of a palm flew towards Baishan head-on.Like a bolt of black lightning, with the force of a thunderbolt, it directly penetrated his helmet and pierced into his forehead.

Bai Shan's eyes widened, and he fell down in a daze. He never thought that he would just hang up like this.

As soon as the battle started, the general in charge of the rear hung up, and the commander-in-chief flag also fell.Moreover, the fire and power when the gunpowder exploded was as frightening as a thunderbolt from the sky.

When the siege army in front was stunned, Xiao Qian ordered people to continue throwing shells, bang bang bang... A series of explosions exploded in the Zhenbei army, and a large number of them died with a bang, and their stumps flew everywhere .

The Zhenbei Army has never seen such a magical weapon, most of the people's legs went limp immediately!Afterwards, Xiao Qian decisively opened the gate of the city, and the Yizhou defender led his troops to attack first.

The Yizhou army is equipped with a powerful continuous crossbow. After rushing out, facing an enemy army that is far more numerous than themselves, they first shoot a pass with the continuous crossbow, and then throw some small shells like grenades.In the end, when the Zhenbei Army was in a panic, they were full of morale, shouting to wipe out the rebels, and slashing like a gust of wind with their big knives.

The Zhenbei army had already been bombed, and the people who were bombed turned their backs, even the commander was dead, and the morale of the army was scattered. If they were hit by such an attack, they would be defeated immediately.

The 4000 army was defeated like a mountain, throwing away their helmets and armor and fleeing all the way. Only three to four thousand people were wiped out, but seven to eight thousand were captured.The remaining thousands of people fled far away from the border of Yizhou, out of breath, everyone was terrified, as if they had seen a ghost.

The power of the thunder cannon has become famous in the first battle.

Compared with Yizhou's easy victory, the battlefield outside Chongzhou City was indeed much more tragic.

When Wei Wuqi and others arrived in Chongzhou, Yelu Qingcang's army was gathering, [-] light cavalry, [-] siege infantry, and [-] heavy cavalry had already gathered outside the city of Chongzhou, and more were still coming. Arriving.

Looking from the city wall, you can see the huge square array of Rong people one after another, with 8 horses and horses stretching for several miles, which is frightening to watch.

Chongzhou is an important town in western Liaoning, and it has been stalemate fighting with the Rong people all winter. Dayu also deployed elite soldiers here. There are [-] defenders in the city, including [-] cavalry.

But even so, once the Rong people are assembled, a full 20 troops will attack by force, and it will be very difficult to defend Chongzhou.But this time Yelu Qingcang sent troops suddenly, and the reinforcements from the court still don't know when they will come?
The defender of the city was an old general named Huang Cheng, who was over fifty years old, and had acquainted with Wei Wuqi a few times.He was very surprised to see Wei Wuqi and others coming, because he always thought that Wei Wuqi had died long ago.

Knowing that Wei Wuqi joined Xiao Qian's army and brought new firearms with him, Old General Huang was skeptical.After the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion demonstrated the power of firearms to him on the spot, he was very excited and agreed with Xiao Qian's meaning: he felt that since the number of firearms was limited, he had to fight the most powerful heavy cavalry of the soldiers. Rong people.

But how can we hit the heavy cavalry?General Huang thought for a long time, set up a plan to lure the enemy, and decided to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight, and before Yelu Qingcang's entire army was assembled, he brought the heavy cavalry into the range of the artillery shells under the city of Chongzhou.

So that night, the Chongzhou Army sent a five thousand cavalry out of the city, and took advantage of the night to harass the Rong people fiercely.

They were just harassing, not fighting to the death with the Rong people. After they succeeded, they ran away immediately when they saw something was wrong.In addition, the soldiers learned a few words of the Rong people's swearing language in advance. When they were fighting, they cursed wildly.

Relying on their large number of soldiers, the Rong people thought that the [-] army would attack the city first, and then the army would catch up while attacking. Sooner or later, the Chongzhou soldiers would not be able to resist, so they launched the siege battle in advance.

As soon as the sun rose in the morning, the thick and heavy drums sounded. The infantry phalanx of the Rong people was in front, pushing a huge crash cart, and using vehicles and giant shields as cover, they slowly approached the city wall of Chongzhou. After rushing to help.

Rows of giant crossbows on the city wall of Chongzhou rang out at the same time, and the trebuchets also started to move one by one, shooting out waves of flying arrows and boulders one by one.Long and heavy arrows roared and shot through shields and horses, and huge stones knocked down people one by one.He smashed many heads, but he couldn't stop the Rong people rushing up like a tidal wave.

The assault troops of the Rong people have always been composed of prisoners and desperadoes.They were prisoners of death, they would only die if they retreated, and they would have a chance if they entered, so they were fearless of the flying arrows and stones, screaming and roaring, frantically stepping on the corpses of their companions and rushing up again.

Relying on the brave offensive and the shock of not fearing death, the Rong people finally rushed to the bottom of the city wall.Soon the giant shield was brought down, and the soldiers hidden behind carried the ladders, picked up their spears, roared out, set up the ladders and began to attack the city.

Huge rolling stones and barrels of hot oil have already been prepared on the wall.As soon as countless soldiers climbed up the ladder, they were hit by boulders and logs, splashed with hot oil, and fell from midair howling.A lot of stones and trees were quickly piled up under the city wall, as well as various twisted corpses mixed in... However, there were still soldiers who were not afraid of death and rushed up madly.

There were screams at the scene, but there were also killing sounds. Some sturdy soldiers finally climbed up the city wall, and they were greeted by spears poked at their chests.There are also powerful ones, who grabbed the spear first, and the Han soldiers who turned back fell, but immediately, his head was chopped off by the big knife beside him...

The siege battle lasted from morning to night, and wave after wave of Rong people came up like a tide, and wave after wave were beaten down.It was not until the sun was setting and the setting sun was shining at night that the Rong people felt that there was no hope of breaking the city today, so they called for gold and withdrew their troops.

However, when they called for gold, the Han army's side sounded loud charging horns and intensive drumbeats.The gate of Chongzhou City suddenly opened wide, and General Huang led [-] cavalry in person, and took the initiative to go out of the city to fight.

The Rong people were stunned by the actions of the Han army, and even Yelu Qingcang was stunned for a while.Then he looked behind him, the continuous Bei Rong army was constantly gathering, and it was estimated that the casualties of the Han army defending the city today were at least [-]. He looked at the gray beard of the old general Huang, and the cavalry of the Han army. With his eyes, he understood.

The Han people knew that Chongzhou could no longer defend, so they came out to fight to the death!
