The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 621

The next day, in Killing Tiger Pass, all the troops went out to kill Cao Jun's camp.

After receiving the news, Cao Jun immediately went on full alert and waited for the enemy to attack.

When Lin Yifan led his troops to the outside of the camp, he saw that Cao's army was already heavily guarded.

"Hiss!" Lin Yifan looked at it and couldn't help taking a cold breath, good guy, how can he attack with such a strict guard?

Holding the binoculars and carefully observing the layout of Cao Jun's camp, Lin Yifan soon discovered the artillery arranged on the camp.The caliber of Cao Jun's artillery is much smaller than that of the Hengshan Army. It seems that Cao Jun is not yet proficient in casting artillery and cannot manufacture large-caliber cannon barrels.

However, although it is small, its power should not be underestimated, Lin Yifan couldn't help frowning.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Yang Mingyuan came to Lin Yifan's side and asked worriedly.

"First, first pull up the artillery and bomb it." Lin Yifan hesitated for a moment, and then ordered, "After the enemy is suppressed, the infantry will immediately dispatch to fill the ravine and clear the mechanism."

"Yes!" Yang Mingyuan went down to make arrangements by himself.

Soon, more than 50 artillery pieces from Shahuguan pulled up to the front of the position and bombarded Cao Jun's camp.

Sure enough, the range of Cao Jun's artillery was far inferior to that of Hengshan's artillery. After firing a few waves, it still could not pose a threat to Hengshan's artillery.

Immediately, the infantry carried soil bags and quickly filled the first trench.Cao Jun was thrown into a mess by the artillery of the Hengshan Army, only sporadic artillery and catapults could pose a threat to the infantry being buried.As the trenches were filled, the number of infantry casualties continued to rise.Although Hengshan has artillery, which can slightly suppress Cao Jun's offensive, but at close range, Cao Jun can use more and more attack methods.The more than 50 cannons brought down from Killing Tiger Pass are too few compared to the camp with [-] troops stationed there.

The battle lasted for two hours, and the Mingzhou infantry had rotated into the third wave, with more than [-] casualties.At this time, the last trench was finally filled.

Lin Yifan immediately pulled the cannon closer and aimed it at the wall of the village.The cavalry archers braved the opponent's attack, launched precise sniper shots, and hunted down the defensive equipment operators on the wall of the village.

The artillery bombarded the wall of the village, and the solid earthen wall suddenly cracked and dust was flying.But the soft soil, in the end, unloaded the momentum of the shell, and the shell could only make a dent in the earth wall, and could not blast the earth wall at all.

Holding the binoculars, Lin Yifan saw that the earth wall on the opposite side was not high and was in the shape of a hill. It could be said that the foundation was solid, and it was difficult to shake it even with artillery.

"Forget it, order the infantry to advance and cover the charge of the cavalry!" Lin Yifan put down the binoculars and ordered immediately.

The earth wall is only more than two meters high, and has a certain slope, so the cavalry may not be unable to charge up.

Soon, tens of thousands of infantry immediately assembled, braved the enemy's crazy counterattack, and slowly advanced towards the enemy camp.Although the large shield cannot prevent the impact of artillery, it can also block the attack of arrow rain.

The artillery and crossbow in the rear desperately suppressed Cao Jun's counterattack, and the horse archers came out to protect the infantry's wings, constantly throwing arrows at the enemy camp.

"Hold on, we can stop the enemy!" Cao Zhuang, the commander of the Cao army, is Cao Ziyan's uncle and a rare talent in commanding the Cao family.At this time, he shouted with a gloomy face, constantly stimulating the morale of the soldiers.But in his heart, he was extremely anxious.The purpose of the [-] cavalry swept by the Hengshan Army is self-evident.The importance of his guarding here suddenly became the most critical battlefield.If it is broken through by the Hengshan Army and its [-] cavalry enter Yanzhou, Yanzhou will die.

But now that the Hengshan Army launched such a fierce attack as soon as they arrived, the pressure on Cao Zhuang was enormous, and he did not have full confidence in whether he could hold the camp.

"Quick, prepare the explosives, the enemy is coming!"

At this time, the Hengshan infantry had already arrived under the earthen wall, and they threw bags of explosives into the enemy camp, falling among the crowd.

"It's explosives, lie down!" Hengshan Jun was shocked when he saw it, and immediately threw himself on the ground with his head in his arms.Some of the more daring ones quickly grabbed the explosives and threw them vigorously at the enemy camp.

"Boom boom boom!~" A series of explosions exploded under the wall, and the smoke filled the air, covering the sky and the sun.

Later, when the gunpowder smoke dissipated, I saw a "lying corpse" on the ground.Afterwards, many "lying corpses" moved slightly, slowly got up, and continued to rush towards the enemy camp.

Cao Jun's gunpowder technology is much weaker than that of Hengshan. Although explosives are powerful, the main reason why they can kill the enemy is to rely on the impact force and the fragments raised by the explosion.But as long as the person lies down on the ground, the damage will be reduced a lot, and the casualties caused by the explosion will be minimized.

At this time, it was finally the Hengshan Army's turn to show their power. The soldiers in the front row threw the grenade out of the camp. After a while, they heard the sound of an explosion, and the attack power of the enemy camp suddenly weakened.

The Hengshan Army took the opportunity to place huge wooden planks upside down on the wall, forming a gentle slope.

Seeing this, Cao Zhuang couldn't help being horrified. If the Hengshan Army were to create a gentle slope, then the opponent's cavalry would be able to pass through the gentle slope and charge up the earth wall. How would they be able to withstand the impact of the cavalry?

"Quick, blow up those planks for me, quick!" Cao Zhuang ordered anxiously.

Soon, many wooden planks placed in various places in the camp were blown into pieces.However, the Hengshan army continued to carry wooden frames up, causing Cao's army to bombard them endlessly.

At this time, the Hengshan cavalry finally moved.Tens of thousands of iron cavalry rushed forward, boarded the planks that were too late to blow up, rushed to the top of the wall, and with a slash of their swords, they slashed across the top of the wall, the bodies of Cao Jun soldiers.The horse's charge continued unabated, and it ran straight down from the top of the wall to kill the inside of Cao Ying.

More and more Hengshan cavalry rushed to the wall of the village, and Cao Jun was no longer able to stop the Hengshan army's attack on the top of the wall.As more planks were built, the wall of Cao Jun's village was completely occupied by the Hengshan Army, and a large number of cavalry rushed up and entered the camp.

"It's over, we're defeated!" Cao Zhuang said bitterly as he watched the cavalry rushing up like a tide in frustration.

"General, let's go, we can't hold on any longer." At that time, the general hurried over and said in a panic.

"You organize the troops to evacuate immediately, and the general here will buy time for you." Cao Zhuang knew that he could not fight to the death, and it was a point to keep a little force, so he ordered immediately.

"Here, general, you are the general of the whole army, or the future will end, and you will lead the army to evacuate." The general was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately persuaded.

"If I evacuate, the whole army will be defeated. There is no need to say more, you go and arrange the evacuation quickly." Cao Zhuang said in a nonchalant manner.

"Yes, the last general took the order." The general quickly received the order and went to make arrangements.

"Order the former army to retreat into the camp, rely on the barracks, and block the enemy army layer by layer." Cao Zhuang ordered in a deep voice.

Now he had to rely on less than 4 troops to hold the Hengshan Army back for several hours, allowing the [-] soldiers who evacuated later to return safely to the nearest city.
