[Chapter 407 Confrontation]

next morning.

The gate of the bastion opened wide.

A thousand heavy infantrymen dressed in plate armor, holding a shield in their left hand and a long knife in their right hand came to line up on the open ground in front of the bastion, and behind these heavy infantrymen were a thousand fusiliers.

At this time, every soldier looked very serious. They had fought against Xiliang soldiers before, but this was the first time they fought against Beidi people in the wild.

For a long time, Beidi people have been notorious in Yanzhou, which made them nervous, but when they thought of the strong fortress behind them, they relaxed, and their fighting spirit surged in their chests.

The Beidi people soon learned of the change of the soldiers in the palace. Enke immediately summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures. He said: “The soldiers of King Yan in Lengbao have been guarding behind closed doors. Now they are going to fight suddenly. I’m afraid there are ghosts.”

Gore After listening to Dan, he said: “Your Majesty, the King of Yan has always been cunning, and now he only uses two thousand infantry to set up a battle formation, so we must guard against it.”

Another wolf lu groaned for a while, and said, “Could it be that they are buried in the mountains on both sides? Ambush and use these soldiers as bait on purpose?”

“It makes sense, now you immediately send scouts to search the left and right mountains.” Enke nodded, “Also, let the soldiers gather immediately, the soldiers of King Yan are hiding in this fortress, we have no There is no way, but they are still too young to fight us in the field, if there is no ambush, this time we will show the soldiers of the King of Yan a little bit of color, and in addition, prepare the artillery.” In the

past few days, they lost almost 20,000 servants.

In order to maintain the scale of 30,000 troops, he kept transferring troops from the king’s tent. Today, two wolf leaders led 20,000 soldiers and they just arrived.

Gordan answered yes, and walked out of the big tent with a few wolves.

Then, several teams of Beidi soldiers entered the forests on both sides of the mountain road and searched both sides.

On the wall of the bastion, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei observed the movements of the Beidi camp through binoculars.

Chang Wei said: “Beidi soldiers have assembled, but they have no intention of attacking for the time being, and seem to suspect fraud.”

Zhao Xu nodded, and he saw Beidi soldiers entering the forest on both sides, “Wait a while, they will fight.”

That’s why he asked Chang Wei to find a guide to reach Qingfeng Mountain from the trail in the mountains.

Both sides of the mountain road are under the control of the black iron king’s tent at this moment, so it is very easy to be discovered.

“My lord, we have searched the mountains and forests, but we haven’t found a single soldier.” Half an hour later, a scout rushed over and said to Enke.

“There is no ambush? The soldiers of King Yan are really arrogant. Do they think they can beat my Beidi soldiers head-on?” Enke sneered and said to Gordan, “Since there is no ambush, you will lead the attack now!”

” Yes!” Goerdan took the order and left.

After a while, he came to the open field, and in order not to be seen, he hid in the woods and gave orders.

Immediately, a servant army consisting of thousands of people rushed out of the woods and went straight to the soldiers of the Wangfu who were lining up in the city.

“Kill!” Beidi’s servant yelled.

Seeing this scene, the generals of the palace in front of the bastion calmed down. They ordered the heavy infantry to retreat behind the fusiliers, preparing to let the fusiliers directly meet the enemy.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei also watched the battlefield.

He sent the fusiliers to fight for two purposes. The first is to take the initiative to fight to speed up the consumption of the troops of the Black Iron King’s Tent. The second is to test how well the fusiliers with bayonets can play in the hands of soldiers. power.

The heavy infantry is to cover the evacuation of the fusiliers in time when an unexpected situation occurs.

“Bang bang bang…” The

familiar flames and white smoke rose on the battlefield, almost covering the fusiliers as if they were covered by thick fog.

Amidst the gunfire, Beidi soldiers rushing over fell down one after another.

“Bang bang bang…” Then, within two or three breaths, another burst of gunfire rang out, followed by the third gunshot.

After playing six rounds in a row, Beidi soldiers left a lot of corpses, and only more than a hundred people rushed to the fusiliers.

At this time, Beidi soldiers raised their scimitars.

“Stab!”

The flintlock soldiers in scale armor didn’t panic, they all had bayonets on their flintlock guns.

Facing the scimitar slashed by the Beidi soldiers, they just picked it up and flew the scimitar away. Then they roared and shot out like sharp arrows. They raised their flintlock guns and stabbed the Beidi soldiers in front of them .

Beidi soldiers were unable to dodge in time and fell into a pool of blood.

More than a hundred Beidi soldiers fell in less than a quarter of an hour.

When Gordan in the woods saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat. He finally understood why King Yan dared to take the initiative to fight.

It turned out to be this kind of stick-like firearm.

They have heard of this kind of firearm, and the King of the Tiemu Pagoda encountered it when he was in the same pass.

“Pull the artillery over here!” Gordan narrowed his eyes, he knew very well that continuing to let the soldiers charge would only lead to death in vain.

The general got the order and immediately ran back.

Not much, six artillery pieces came towards the mountain pass under the cover of Beidi soldiers.

In order to hide these cannons and attack the soldiers of the palace by surprise, General Beidi ordered his servants to stand in front of the cannons to cover them, and at the same time covered the cannons with branches.

It’s just that their little actions couldn’t hide Zhao Xu and Chang Wei on the bastion at all.

Through the binoculars, they could clearly see the trajectory of the artillery wheels on the mountain road, which could not be fooled by the two who were familiar with artillery.

“Kill their artillery!” Zhao Xu said.

The Beidi people obviously wanted to pull the artillery to the open ground and then launch a surprise bombardment, but he would not give them this opportunity.

After getting their orders, the gunners on the city wall aimed their artillery at the Beidi artillery on the move.

“Boom boom boom!” Amidst the

huge roar, the artillery on the bastion spewed out flames, and the shells flew towards Beidi’s artillery.

“Dang…”

A shell hit the shielded bronze cannon, making a sound like a bell.

The wheels of the Beidi cannon could not hold up under the huge force, and immediately fell to the ground, and the cannon rolled out of the branches, revealing its true colors.

“Ah…”

At the same time, some Beidi soldiers were hit by shells, and their flesh was badly beaten.

“Boom boom boom…” The

artillery continued to fire, and one shell after another fell into the team pulling the artillery. The actions of Beidi soldiers had to stop under the shelling.

On the bastion, both Zhao Xu and Chang Wei had smiles on their lips.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded from the woods.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei were all too familiar with this loud noise.

“Your Highness, be careful!” Chang Wei had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately rushed to Zhao Xu. At this moment, a cannonball flew past Zhao Xu’s head.

Then several shells hit the city wall again, making a loud “dong dong”.

On the mountain road 500 meters away from the bastion, Enke had a sneer on his lips.

King Yan’s bastions were high and visible for miles, making them easier to bombard.

When Gordan sent his generals to pull the artillery, he also learned about the battle ahead, and at this moment he finally decided to use the artillery.

But for Gordan’s request, he only gave six cannons.

He knew that these cannons were likely to be attacked by King Yan’s soldiers, so after the cannons were pulled away, he ordered the gunners to remove the branches on the cannons, ready to bombard King Yan’s fortress at any time.

And when he heard the gunfire on the city wall, he immediately ordered the shelling.

“King Yan, it’s time for you to taste our Beidi artillery.” Enke laughed.

However, his smile soon stopped.
