I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 59 Artillery attack, Tang army chaos

Faced with the siege of tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but did not attack.

Of course Chai Shao was puzzled, but there was nothing he could do.

Almost all the spies and scouts arranged to watch were killed!

It has to be said that the area under Qin Mu's governance has no chance of infiltration at all, it is completely a city with iron walls.

So, what exactly does Qin Mu want to do?
boom!boom!
Suddenly, two huge shocks exploded in the barracks!

"what!"

"Run, avoid the artillery range!"

Chai Shao turned his head suddenly, only to see dozens of soldiers were directly blown to the sky.

His face was gloomy, and dozens of soldiers died in just two shots, which is not counted as a bunch of casualties.

"General, I...we" the lieutenant ran over in a hurry, his face was black and black, obviously he had gone to the shelling range just now.

Fortunately, it was not injured.

"what's the situation?"

"Five miles away, that Yue Fei fired on the city, but didn't continue."

"Is this a demonstration against us?"

Chai Shao had a gloomy face, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and the veins on his arms were protruding but he didn't dare to give the order to attack.

The lieutenant also didn't dare to open his mouth.

Everyone understands that if the enemy can attack the barracks from five miles away, it means that they can be killed in one fell swoop.

Even, no casualties are required!
Such a war is completely asymmetrical.

"General, why don't we retreat! If this continues, I'm afraid we will be besieged and killed!"

The lieutenant was scared.

"Retreat! Do you want to disobey orders? Ah!" Chai Shao was furious, and waved his hand: "The generals obey the order, retreat a mile, and prepare to fight back at any time!"

No one expected such an order
The deputy general was even more stunned, didn't he say he would not retreat?
And above Puzhou City.

Yue Fei was in high spirits, looking at a row of ten cannons, as long as the city gates were not opened, the enemies outside would not be able to get close at all.

The so-called beheading the enemy without spending a single soldier is vividly reflected.

"Clean, reload, and prepare for the second round of long-range shots!"

The two cannons were quickly cleaned up and shells were loaded.

This cannonball is not the solid bullet just now, but countless iron balls inside a thin iron shell, which will scatter as soon as it explodes. One can imagine how terrifying its power is!
It can be said to be a sharp weapon in the face of the Tang army, which is dominated by numbers!
"Second time, long shot. Fire!"

Boom!

The huge noise was accompanied by a puff of thick smoke, which flew out and disappeared in the eyes of everyone in an instant.

The two new shells were naturally not accurate enough, and fell behind the retreating Chai Shao army, and hundreds of soldiers were blown away.

Chai Shao was trembling all over, and his eyes were full of disbelief!
The howling soldiers covered their bodies, and one of them had dozens of iron beads in his body!

"Accelerate and retreat!"

We can't hold on any longer, and if this continues, the entire army will be exhausted.

In such a short period of time, causing such casualties also made him understand that his military talents have been outdated.

It's just the cannon fire, so far I haven't even seen the real face!

After two consecutive attacks, Yue Fei began to count the situation with the artillery researchers, and then analyzed and improved.

"Judging from the artillery attack just now, the power of the gunpowder was insufficient, and the irregular shape of the shell resulted in a shorter range than expected. However, the long-range shot reached the target."

The researchers carefully counted the statistics, and then checked the artillery loss and so on.

Yue Fei couldn't understand it, but he also had some opinions.

"When the artillery attacked, there was too much smoke, and I found that in recent training, the gunners inhaled a lot of smoke and dust, which caused serious illness."

"The virtuous king has also mentioned this issue before. The logistics side has produced qualified masks to prevent such a situation. In addition, the improvement of gunpowder is also in progress."

After finishing speaking, the researcher turned and left.

Face mask?

Yue Fei frowned, but didn't ask any questions.

"The Beiwei army listened to the order, and 2000 people were divided into two groups to harass, to buy time for the rear troops!"

"Yes!"

Two thousand cavalry rushed out of the city gate, with bows and arrows on their horses, long knives on their waists, and muskets on their backs.

Not to mention the Tang army, even Qin Mu's other troops envied this kind of configuration.

It's a pity, they know very well that the strength of the Beiwei army is almost as strong as the scale armor army of the sage king's personal guard!
Six miles away, Chai Shao wanted to control the chaos of the army.

However, the troops mainly composed of [-] forbidden troops were obviously frightened and fled in all directions.

The original order was to set up camp one mile away.

现在
"Those who disobey the order, beheaded! Those who run away without permission, beheaded!"

"General, we have no chance of winning. If we continue like this, we will die!"

"Then Qin Mu has God's help, how can we fight against God!"

"I still have a wife and daughter at home, who will take care of them when they die!"

Hundreds of soldiers burst into tears, hoping that Chai Shao would let them go.

Seeing this, Chai Shao didn't feel flustered, but also feared.

However, military orders are like mountains!

What's more, if you disobey the imperial court's order, you will die if you go back!
"As soldiers, you disobeyed orders and fled before the battle. No excuses are given!"

"General, we joined the army just for a meal!"

"I beg the general to let us go!"

"Please forgive me, General!"

Whoa!
Thousands of soldiers knelt on the ground directly, and those who dared not escape but wanted to escape knelt down together.

They begged, hoping to be forgiven.

"Are you guys going to rebel!"

Chai Shao was short-tempered, leading the army for decades, and this was the first time he saw such a situation.

Facing the Turks, the army vowed not to retreat.

In the face of alien plunder, the army resisted tenaciously, and would rather die on the battlefield to protect the people.

But now, it's like a bereaved dog.

All of this is because Yue Fei's army under Qin Mu destroyed the remaining loyalty of all soldiers with just two shots!

"Report! The rear team was harassed, and the casualties exceeded hundreds!"

"Report! The left and right are surrounded by the Youzhou army!"

The two pieces of news were brought back by the half-dead scouts lying on horseback.

As soon as the words were finished, the two died immediately.

Chai Shao was cold all over, and when he stepped forward, he realized that their clothes had already been stained red with blood.

"General, it's that mysterious weapon again. It seems to be called a 'gun' during the previous investigation!" The military division looked sad.

Hearing this, Chai Shao looked up to the sky and sighed.

"God wants to destroy me!"

"Who said the sky is going to destroy you?"

In the silence, an untimely laugh came.

Everyone quickly turned their heads to look, and there were more than 1000 back Weijun riding on horseback, looking at everyone with a sneer.

The Mo Dao, still stained with blood, showed its edge in the sun!
"You... want to besiege and kill with just such a small number of people?" Chai Shao still had the last illusion, but he knew in his heart that this was just the vanguard, and the surroundings might have been surrounded.

A group of thousands of households in the Beiwei army laughed loudly: "General Chai, do you know why it took so long for my army to wipe you all out, but didn't take action?"

Chai Shao didn't speak, just watched coldly.
