Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 306

[Chapter 306 This Is Despair]

“We surrender!”

Watching the Yanzhou army with strange weapons pressing closer.

Artillery appeared on both sides of the army formation again.

They even saw the cavalry with their sabers lighted.

The Xiliang soldiers in the chaos finally lost all will to resist in exhaustion and fear.

A large number of Xiliang soldiers dropped their weapons.

Among them, the sons who surrendered were the fastest.

During this period of time, news continued to come in that the king of Yan had arrested the son, but not only did not kill him.

They will also give money to let them return to their hometowns. In this case, why should they resist at the risk of death.

What’s more, King Yan’s army really knows magic tricks…

Guan Tong cast his eyes on the Xiliang soldiers who dropped their weapons, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The sudden appearance of the flintlock frightened these Xiliang soldiers whose morale was extremely low.

They no longer have the will to resist.

Of course, apart from the contribution of the flintlock, this also has something to do with the heavy infantry cutting off the Xiliang army.

Having lost contact with the commander in chief, Xiliang soldiers were completely disorganized like headless flies.

At the same time that the situation on the north side of Taolin was reversed.

The fighting on the south side is still going on.

Under the general’s scolding, the Xiliang cavalry rushed towards the soldiers forming hollow squares.

When they charged, Yanzhou’s artillery bombarded them continuously.

Before advancing within a hundred meters, hundreds of cavalrymen died under the artillery.

And when they stepped within a hundred meters, they suddenly saw Yanzhou soldiers holding pipe-like weapons.

Then the flames and smoke burst out, and the Xiliang cavalry who rushed to the front felt as if they had been hit by a hammer, and fell from their horses in severe pain.

He was trampled to death by subsequent war horses.

“Bang bang bang…” There was a loud noise, and the flames and smoke continued.

The northern side of more than twenty hollow phalanxes kept firing, and the charging Xiliang cavalry kept falling off their horses.

In a short distance of 100 meters, nearly a thousand cavalry were killed or injured.

The continuous death and falling of the front cavalry greatly slowed down the speed of the follow-up cavalry.

They had to dodge falling men and horses, and if they couldn’t dodge, they and their horses tripped and fell to the ground.

And when they rushed to the front of the Yanzhou army formation, what they faced were spears shining with cold light.

When a horse encounters an obstacle, the biological instinct is to avoid it.

Therefore, the iron kite cavalry will blindfold the horse’s eyes when rushing towards the spearman.

But they are not iron kites, not everyone has the courage.

Some cavalry entered the gap between the hollow phalanxes at a turn in front of the formation, trying to find an opportunity to disrupt the formation of King Yan’s soldiers from the side.

But they immediately regretted it.

They found that the formation had soldiers facing them on each side.

After they entered the phalanx, the soldiers pointed their weapons at them.

“Bang bang bang…”

With the sound and flames, the cavalry fell off their horses one after another.

At this time, on a high slope 200 meters away from the hollow phalanx.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei were watching the battle with binoculars.

More than 100,000 people fought fiercely on the battlefield, but in fact they were distributed over a large area.

The hollow square matrix is an overall shape of an inverted trapezoid.

Twelve in the front, eight in the middle, and four in the last row.

Each hollow phalanx is separated by a hundred meters, and the width of the battlefield has reached more than a thousand meters.

Xiliang cavalry also launched a charge within the range of more than a thousand meters.

But through the binoculars, he can still see the situation on the battlefield.

This is the second time he has faced a war of this magnitude.

The first time was to defeat the Yuan family under Yanguan.

At that time, the width of the battlefield was nearly a thousand meters.

“Your Highness, the battle in the north seems to be over.” Chang Wei said at this time.

In the binoculars, a large number of Xiliang soldiers dropped their weapons.

For those who still refused to surrender, the ten fusiliers and the royal cavalry were chasing and fighting.

But a line of ten was heading south to support them.

The heavy infantry in the middle also began to deal with the enemy who entangled them in the north.

Zhao Xu looked towards the north gate, and everything seemed to be exactly as Chang Wei said.

The balance of victory is constantly tilting towards him.

Then he continued to look at the Xiliang cavalry.

After solving these cavalry, basically the Xiliang reinforcements will no longer be able to turn the tide.

Now, most of these cavalry forked like flowing water meeting a solid stone, and poured into the gap between the hollow phalanxes.

The gaps formed by the phalanx are like a maze.

The cavalry who rushed into the gap could not turn around.

Once they turned around, they would collide with the cavalry rushing from behind.

So after diving in headlong, they can only walk around the gap.

But in this way, they faced the cavalry coming from other gaps.

In this way, they had to slow down while galloping, and even stopped to turn their horses around each other.

But this undoubtedly provided the soldiers of the palace with the best shooting targets.

Zhao Xu saw white smoke continuously rising from each phalanx, and Xiliang cavalry kept falling down.

Under the continuous attack, the Xiliang cavalry continued to be killed and injured.

This made the Xiliang cavalry who were caught in the gap between the hollow phalanx even more chaotic, and cavalry kept bumping into each other because of panic.

Xiliang army.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ji Li closed his eyes in pain.

Yanzhou soldiers are too strange in terms of weapons and formations.

The Xiliang cavalry, who had no experience in dealing with this kind of weapon and formation, fell into a trap.

After each fire, there will always be horses that have lost their owners and come back from the front, or run in other directions.

At this moment, he suddenly heard that unique sound behind him.

He looked back, the white smoke was less than two miles away from him.

“Deputy leader, the army in the back has collapsed, and now Yanzhou soldiers are coming from behind, and we are surrounded.” A general hurried over, his face full of panic.

Hearing this, Ji Li’s heart skipped a beat and he remained silent.

Zheng Jiang continued: “What should the deputy leader do? We can’t resist the fire-breathing weapons of the soldiers in Yanzhou. The soldiers were killed when they rushed in front of them. There are also artillery. Many soldiers were directly shot by the artillery. It ‘s dead…”

Ji Li couldn’t hear what Zheng Jiang was saying.

His mind was buzzing with only one thought.

What kind of monster is this King Yan?

Why is it so unreasonable to fight, and what is the weapon he gave to the soldiers, so scary.

Looking blankly at the surrounding battlefield, in front of him, his cavalry kept falling off their horses, and some cavalry began to flee back.

Behind him, there was a loud noise, and the soldiers kept pushing towards him, obviously beaten back by the Yanzhou army.

Many Xiliang soldiers disappeared into the peach forest.

The rout began.

“Boom boom boom…”

“Bang boom boom…” ”

…”

The sound of artillery and unknown weapons was getting closer and louder.

White smoke billowed continuously across the battlefield, and it was the banner of death.

The sun rose higher and higher.

After noon, it was evening again.

At this time, the blood-red sunlight covered the ground, and it was hard to tell whether the bright red on the ground was blood or light.

On the entire battlefield, the corpses of Xiliang soldiers criss-crossed, like sesame seeds sprinkled on the ground.

The Xiliang flag is full of bullet holes caused by flintlock guns.

And in the middle of the battlefield, Ji Li holds a long sword.

In front of him was the Xiliang dispatched troops who were killed by flintlock guns.

Around him, the palace spearmen formed a circle and aimed their spears at him.
