Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 305

[Chapter 305]

“What is that!”

Xiliang army.

Ji Li watched the iron kite heavy cavalry fall one by one, and his heart was bleeding.

The iron kite is the most elite cavalry in Xiliang.

Since the establishment of Xiliang’s founding emperor Murong Hun, it has always been a nightmare for Xiliang’s enemies.

Although small in number, they can destroy the enemy’s infantry in every battle.

And these iron kite heavy cavalry exist like nobles in Xiliang.

The heavy armor on them was passed down from father to son, and passed down from generation to generation.

It can be said that they are destined to be cavalry from birth, and they have also received extremely strict training since childhood.

Because of this, most of the iron kite cavalry continued to charge despite finding that the weapons in the hands of King Yan’s soldiers were weird.

But now, they are all dead.

Only the remaining 50 iron kite cavalry horses were frightened and retreated in a panic.

No one in the army could answer his question.

Not only him, but also the generals and soldiers in the Xiliang Army were all in fear.

Originally they were ready to charge.

In previous battles, it was difficult for the iron kite cavalry to be injured by bows and arrows.

It must be able to rush into the enemy’s formation.

But now, most of them died on the way of charging.

The few remaining iron kite cavalry could not cause huge damage to King Yan’s army formation at all.

“Rush! Rush…” Looking at the soldiers of King Yan who were approaching, Ji Li shouted.

The middle of the army was cut off, unable to respond to each other.

Now the soldiers of King Yan are about to complete the encirclement.

If they can’t rush out, they will definitely be defeated here.

“King Yan’s army is here, and Jincheng will definitely not be besieged by the army. If we rush out, we will be able to return to Jincheng!” Ji Li kept cheering the Xiliang soldiers.

His order was issued, and the orderly passed it on quickly.

At this time, the Xiliang cavalry general immediately organized a long line of six thousand cavalry in the front row of the army.

The sound of horns sounded, and six thousand cavalry rushed towards the formation of soldiers of the palace like a tide.

When it was discovered that the Xiliang cavalry was gathering.

The semaphore bearers in the Wangfu army issued orders one after another.

There was an immediate change in the marching flintlock.

Due to the busyness of the Military Division, the flintlock guns produced were not equipped with bayonets in time, so they could only rely on spearmen for protection.

So the spearmen immediately formed a square formation with an empty square in the middle.

This phalanx is the famous hollow phalanx in flintlock tactics.

At the same time, the third platoon of gunners was still behind the spearmen.

But the difference is that at this time the soldiers are not all facing the Xiliang cavalry rushing towards them.

Instead, soldiers on each side face the corresponding side.

For example, soldiers standing in the east face east, and soldiers standing in the west face west.

In this way, this formation has become an array with firepower on all sides.

In the contemporary era of mixed hot and cold weapons, this formation has been tested on the battlefield and can effectively restrain cavalry.

At the same time as the formation of the soldiers in the palace changed, Zhao Xu immediately ordered the artillery to bombard the Xiliang cavalry.

This place is suitable for large-scale army battles, and it can wipe out the Xiliang reinforcements in one fell swoop, but it is undoubtedly beneficial to the Xiliang cavalry.

“Boom boom boom…” After the semaphore passed down the order to shoot the cavalry.

Thirty-six cannons spit out flames and fired solid bullets into the galloping Xiliang cavalry group.

The galloping Xiliang cavalry continued to have people and horses fall down.

These fallen horses tripped the horses that followed, causing a little chaos.

In the Xiliang army, Ji Li nervously watched the backs of the cavalry.

The only thing he can do now is the cavalry.

The Xiliang cavalry had one man and three horses, and they were the only ones who were energetic in such a high-intensity march.

The infantry, exhausted to the extreme, will be at a disadvantage in fierce battles.

…

The battle ahead has reached a critical moment.

The second half of the Xiliang army fell into a situation where they were fighting on their own because they had completely lost contact with Geely.

Under the leadership of their respective generals, they all rushed towards the soldiers of the palace who were walking towards them.

The soldiers of the palace here are under the command of Guan Tong.

Seeing this, he was secretly happy.

At this moment, neither the Xiliang infantry nor the Xiliang cavalry could organize a large-scale charge.

“Fire!” The distance between the two sides quickly shortened to 100 meters, and Guan Tong ordered to shoot.

“Bang bang bang…” The flintlock spouted flames and disgust, and the lead bullets flew towards the Xiliang soldiers who were huddled together and rushed towards the army formation.

For the flintlock, such a dense crowd of enemies can undoubtedly exert the greatest effect.

“Ahhh…”

Amidst a burst of screams, the Xiliang soldiers at the front fell down amidst the screams.

On their bodies, there was a wound the size of a baby’s fist, from which blood gushed out.

Because the lead is soft, the high-speed lead bullet hits the human body and releases the greatest kinetic energy.

It’s like throwing plasticine on the wall and spreading it out.

Therefore, the wounds of people hit by lead bullets are often several times the size of lead bullets.

At the same time, lead bullet fragments will remain in the human body, causing lead poisoning.

Therefore, the death rate of the enemy hit by the flintlock is very high.

The Xiliang soldiers who were charging suddenly heard a noise, saw the flames, and then saw the person in front of them fall down with a scream.

Looking at the horrific wounds on their bodies, their legs went limp in fright.

They were already very tired, and their will to fight was extremely weak, but they were forced to charge by the generals.

At this moment, facing the weird firearms in the hands of King Yan’s soldiers, he no longer dared to continue charging.

“Bang bang bang…” Just when they were stunned.

King Yan’s soldiers changed a group of people, and the weapons in their hands also made loud noises and flames.

Before they could react, the Xiliang soldiers in front fell down like ears of wheat swept by a strong wind.

Blood spattered on the bewildered Xiliang soldiers.

At this moment, the Xiliang soldier who rushed forward and was lucky not to be hit finally collapsed.

They took a few steps back, turned around and fled frantically.

“Black art!”

“Ah, black art!”

“Yanzhou soldiers know black art.”

“…”

Xiliang soldiers shouted as they ran away, with hysterical fear in their eyes.

“Bang bang bang…” The flintlock guns in the hands of the palace soldiers continued to fire, causing a large number of casualties to Xiliang soldiers.

Under the continuous attack, the small collapse gradually expanded, and finally turned into a big chaos.

Xiliang soldiers no longer ignored the orders of the generals, and became a mess.

Even Xiliang soldiers dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and raised their hands.

“Surrender, or die!” Guan Tong followed closely behind the team.

Seeing that the time had come, he immediately shouted.

At the same time, he asked the orderly to raise the semaphore.

The artillerymen hitched their cannons, drew them, and stopped on the flanks of the fusiliers.

If Xiliang soldiers continue to resist, they will taste the double attack of artillery and muskets.

Of course, two thousand light cavalry followed behind the team.

He doesn’t mind a massacre.
