Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 415

[Chapter 415]

next day.

It was daylight.

The soldiers of the palace had already buried their pots to make food, and they were full.

Immediately, they continued to march north under Chang Wei’s order.

After more than an hour, Chang Wei saw a large area of white tents.

On the outskirts of the camp, the cavalry of the Black Iron King’s tent were already waiting for them, like an insurmountable wall.

“Woooooo…”

When the two armies were 500 meters apart, the sound of horns sounded in Beidi’s army.

Immediately, the Beidi cavalry moved slowly, and the cavalry on both sides went east and west respectively, outflanking them from both wings, while the Chinese army pressed towards them in a dense mass.

“Form the formation!”

Seeing this, Chang Wei immediately ordered, and the chariot soldiers in charge of the chariot immediately led the horses and led the chariot to form a circle, hung the iron ropes on the chariot on the chariot in front, and then untied the horses. Let the horses enter the middle of the circle.

“Rumble…” The

circular formation gradually took shape, and the sound of Beidi cavalry horses trampling the ground became louder and louder.

The Beidi light cavalry on the two wings did not charge towards the chariot formation. They kept shooting arrows at the chariot formation within a distance of 100 meters. casualties.

It’s just that their most skilled tactics are doomed to fail in the face of chariots.

Beidi’s arrows struck, and the chariot soldiers immediately propped up the iron cover of the chariot, and Beidi’s arrows were blocked.

At the same time, the fusiliers in the chariots climbed onto the chariots and started to fight back using the holes in the cover.

“Bang bang bang…”

White smoke rose, and the galloping Beidi cavalry kept falling from their horses.

“Hahaha… It’s really the same as during the exercise. Your Highness is really amazing. This means we have a mobile fortress on the grassland.” Lu Chang laughed.

He and Chang Wei were in the middle circle, and at this moment, like other generals, they were observing the battle with a telescope.

There was a smile on the corner of Chang Wei’s mouth. For them, fighting on the grassland in the past was simply death.

After all, no infantry can win on the steppe.

But obviously, the appearance of the car formation reversed this situation. Although the mobility of the car formation was poor, they also had the power to fight back.

“Cunning King Yan, this must be his bad idea again.” Beidi Zhongjun, Enke saw everything in front of him and frowned.

King Yan’s soldiers’ chariots were like rejecting horses, and his cavalry naturally couldn’t directly charge their infantry.

But now, the covers on these chariots were lifted, and the soldiers of King Yan were able to resist their bows and arrows, and at the same time let the soldiers use firearms to fight back.

“Bring up the cannon!” Enke shouted.

This was taken back by soldiers from Beidi when Qingfengkou collapsed, but now there are only twelve gates left.

Now, he wants to use these twelve cannons to drive away King Yan’s chariot formation, otherwise he will not be able to win this battle.

After the order was passed, twelve artillery pieces were pushed over and aimed at the car formation in the middle of the first row.

Chang Wei immediately discovered the situation through the telescope. At this time, the Beidi Central Army was only about 300 meters away from them.

At this distance, the artillery is very powerful.

He immediately shouted: “Mortars cover, Zhongli, Chen Hu, destroy their artillery!”

After receiving the order, Zhongli and Chen Hu immediately organized the cavalry in the chariot formation to stand by. call.

“Boom boom boom…” Flames spewed

out from a mortar in the car formation, and the shells drew an arc in the sky and exploded above Beidi’s army.

Some lime bombs exploded above the Beidi cavalry, and the white lime dispersed into a cloud in the shock wave formed by the gunpowder explosion, covering the Beidi cavalry.

The huge explosion shocked the Beidi people’s war horses even more, and the Chinese army immediately fell into chaos.

And as the lime bombs fell, the front of the Beidi Central Army seemed to be covered in thick fog, and their eyes were burned by lime, which soon plunged them into even greater chaos.

“Attack!” When the time came, Chang Wei ordered immediately.

At this time, the chariot soldiers immediately lifted the chains, and then changed the direction of the chariot from horizontal to vertical, and the cavalry rushed out from the opened gap.

They have practiced this kind of tactics many times during the exercises, and the cooperation among the soldiers has a tacit understanding.

“Kill!”

Zhong Li and Chen Hu rushed out, a hundred meters away from Beidi’s army. They picked up the pulley crossbow from their horses and shot a wave of arrows first.

Immediately, the crossbow was hung on the horse’s back, Zhong Li brandished his silver spear, Chen Hu drew out his saber, and rushed out of the chaotic Chinese army.

He rushed straight to the Beidi cannons, facing the ten Beidi cannons, Zhongli immediately shouted: “Pull the cannons to death!”

Under his order, some cavalry immediately dismounted and rushed to the cannons, took out irons The nail was stuffed into the matchlock hole of the Beidi artillery, and the iron nail was smashed into the fire hole with the handle of a knife.

This was an item in their exercise after they learned that Beidi had artillery, and it was also added by King Yan to the exercise.

Now that it came in handy, the cavalry admired King Yan even more.

Unexpectedly, the king of Yan would take into account any situation on the battlefield. The firing holes of these artillery were nailed to death, so this battle would not be possible.

King Yan’s soldiers attacked suddenly, and the Beidi cavalry on both wings reacted and rushed towards Zhongli and them immediately.

On the left and right wings, there are more than 20,000 cavalry menacing.

“Hahaha… You Beidi dogs, you must be incompetent and furious!” Zhong Li laughed and crucified Beidi’s cannon.

They know very well that once they are entangled, they will never leave.

At the moment, we still have to rely on the chariot formation and the black iron king’s tent to fight.

Back in front of the chariot formation, the chariot soldiers immediately opened the chains, and they hid back in the formation.

But the Beidi cavalry who came after them saw only a white smoke rising, and then they all fell off their horses and fell into a pool of blood.

“Boom boom boom…”

The artillery in the chariot formation started to fire, and the artillerymen had pushed the field cannons behind the chains of the chariots, bombarding the Beidi cavalry through the gaps in the chariot.

Before the battle formed by the chariots, the Beidi cavalry had already lost their advantage, and they were constantly being killed by the artillery and flintlock guns of the royal army.

In just a short time, the Beidi cavalry rushed over suffered heavy casualties.

Facing the battle with nowhere to talk, they finally thought of the artillery, but when they returned to the central army, they found that all the ignition holes of their artillery were useless.

Enke soon heard the news, and he was so angry that he almost went crazy, “Damn King Yan, damn Yan King soldiers, go and drive out the slaves and let them serve as human shields.” The

servants are all dead , but there are still many slaves in the king’s tent for them to drive.

He wanted these slaves to rush forward, and Beidi soldiers followed behind to attack the car formation.

However, as soon as he finished his words, he saw King Yan’s soldiers who had been hiding in the battle formation rush out of the chariot and stand in front of the chariot.
