[Chapter 543 Fighting Wisdom and Bravery]

life…”

The body of the Beidi soldier fell slowly, and the pupils of the Xiliang soldiers beside him continued to dilate.

Then he heard a “whoosh whoosh” sound through the air.

The soldiers around him kept screaming and fell down. Looking around, no one was standing ten meters away from him.

Some people died directly, and some soldiers had blood gushing out from their chests and necks.

The soldiers with injured legs and feet kept howling.

Finally, he covered his ears, couldn’t take it anymore, and ran back.

But after only five meters, a machete cut his throat.

“Don’t retreat, whoever retreats will die!” Beidi soldiers raised their scimitars.

With a fierce face.

Frightened, the Xiliang soldiers who wanted to escape immediately stopped and had no choice but to continue walking.

One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters.

The closer they got to the walls, the greater the casualties.

Especially within 50 meters, the muskets of Yanguan soldiers seemed to have eyes. ‘

With every shot, their casualties multiplied.

At this time, only five or six hundred people remained of the first batch of six thousand people who charged.

Looking back at the corpses all over the ground, even Beidi soldiers felt chills in their hearts.

This is not siege, more like death.

Looking up at the city wall of Yanguan, within 50 meters, they could clearly see Yanguan soldiers aiming at them with muskets.

As soon as the muskets in their hands flashed, they were dead.

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ” the

retreat horn sounded suddenly.

The moment Beidi soldiers and Xiliang soldiers heard it, they left the ladder and ran back without thinking about anything.

“Bang bang bang…”

The gunfire continued behind them, and the number of people around them continued to decrease.

But when they returned to the camp, there were only more than two hundred people left.

The gate of the camp.

Guertu, Horqin, Gule, and Wuyan all looked frosty.

The passing cavalry constantly passed on the situation on the battlefield to them.

Seeing that the soldiers who charged in the first wave suffered heavy casualties for a while, Gurtu immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Although they are dare to die, they are not sent to death.

The ultimate goal is to win Yanguan, not reckless.

“What’s going on?” Gu Ertu ordered the only surviving centurion to come over.

“Muskets, their muskets can kill people at a distance of two hundred paces!” The centurion’s pupils were still dilated because of fear.

“Two hundred meters away!” Guertu was taken aback.

During the Battle of Jinzhou, Beidi saw King Yan’s musket.

In the Battle of the Northwest, the Dasong Army also used muskets.

It’s just that the range of muskets at that time was only 100 meters, and the shooting speed was not as good as that of bows and arrows.

The Beidi people have been good at bow and horse since they were young, and almost everyone is an archer. Although they are curious about this musket, they have never thought of replacing bow and arrow with musket.

“Daxing is here. Our archers are almost dead and wounded before entering the 100 meters. There is no mistake.” The centurion added.

The other three people heard the words and looked at Guertu.

Horqin said: “In this way, this must be King Yan’s new firearm.”

“Daxing is here, we can’t fight like this anymore. In less than half a day, six thousand people are gone.” Gu Le said.

He wanted to become a native of Beidi, but seeing Xiliang soldiers die one by one, he felt uncomfortable.

Wu Yan didn’t speak, he recalled the battle of Jinzhou.

At that time, Yanzhou soldiers and horses suddenly took out their muskets, causing a large number of casualties to their Xiliang elite.

Now this scene seems to be repeated again, looking at Yanguan.

He suddenly felt a strong sense of fear, as if it was a giant man-eating beast lying across the ground.

It’s just that he knows that they must fight this battle.

The plague caused heavy losses to Yanzhou, and Yanguan was at its weakest.

Now, Yanguan can still keep them out of Yanguan with King Yan’s new firearms.

When King Yan regained his composure, can Ning Jin Dusi survive?

“Even if King Yan’s soldiers have new firearms, this battle must continue. If we don’t take Yanguan when it is weakest, we will never have another chance.” Gurtu said.

He and Wu Yan wanted to go together.

King Yan grew up too fast, and they could feel it in the past few years of competing with King Yan.

The new type of firearm that appeared this time exceeded his cognition.

Given more time for King Yan, no one can predict how he will grow up.

At this moment, he finally understood the anxiety in Khan’s heart.

Horqin nodded, and he said: “It’s just that it can’t be so big. Wolves on the grassland often attack wolves at night, because this is when the hunter’s vision is the worst.”

“King Horqin is right, the advantage of King Yan’s soldiers is firearms , but using firearms requires eyes, and in the dark night, although our archers are not very useful, their musketeers are not very useful either.” Gu Le showed a cruel smile.

After a pause, he continued: “The most important thing is that there must be only a small number of soldiers in Yanguan at this moment after the plague, and they are not opponents in hand-to-hand combat.”

Gu Ertu and Wu Yan both nodded when they heard this.

Choose at night, the effects of long-range weapons on both sides will be greatly reduced.

But it was even worse for Yanguan soldiers who relied on firearms.

After deciding on this matter, Gurtu immediately died down.

Let the second batch of 6,000 siege soldiers rest and prepare to attack the city at night.

at the same time.

The city of Yanguan is filled with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

In this battle, the power of the rifled gun was fully demonstrated.

This brought great confidence to the generals and soldiers.

After all, they only had 60,000 soldiers, but they had to face 400,000 Beidi soldiers.

“Why don’t these Beidi people stop fighting?” Mo Yu looked through the binoculars and saw Beidi retreating to the camp, showing a puzzled look.

“I must be scared of being beaten.” Lu Chang had a grass in his mouth.

From time to time, the eyes glanced at the rifled guns in the hands of the soldiers.

He and the soldiers under his command were all wearing heavy armor, waiting for Beidi soldiers to climb the city wall before fighting.

But apparently they didn’t have that chance.

But he was not disappointed, because he became more and more interested in rifled guns.

Don’t feel like the Musketeers have upstaged themselves.

“If something is unusual, there must be a demon.” Chang Wei murmured.

Then he and Mo Yu said almost in unison, “They may be preparing for a night battle.”

It wasn’t that they could predict the enemy’s opportunity, but the strategy proposed after the blue general was defeated by a rifled gun during the simulated Ningjin battle.

This is equivalent to fighting a siege battle from the perspective of Beidi.

“After seeing the power of our new firearms, they must adjust their tactics.” Mo Yu said.

Now, he feels more and more that there is infinite wisdom contained in the small command room of the military academy.

Before the war, they had several plans in their minds.

“Leave the night battle to our heavy infantry.” Lu Chang was shocked and eager to try.

Mo Yu nodded, Lu Chang and the others were indeed needed to guard the city wall at night.

It’s just that he fought with his father for many years, experienced a lot of night battles, and learned a lot in the military school.

How can one’s own advantage disappear in the dark?

Lu Chang is only the last guarantee, and he will let the Beidi people understand that their royal army is better at fighting at night.
