Steel Dynasty - Chapter 351

[Chapter 351 Take off]

White smoke and fire flickered on the battlefield.

Another round of charging cavalry fell in front of the Qingzhou Army soldiers.

At this time, Guduo finally understood the despair Kuha faced on the battlefield.

After a day and night of fierce fighting, his light cavalry also suffered heavy losses in the fierce battle with the Jinwu Guards. Both them and the Forbidden Army were constantly fighting for the food road.

But now this balance is broken, the Qingzhou Army appears here, carrying that kind of fire-breathing weapon.

The exhausted barbarian cavalry could no longer defeat them. After charging round after round, the barbarian cavalry continued to fall.

“Hurry up and tell Beishantaiji about the situation here.”

Guduo was covered in blood. The barbarian cavalry would not retreat until they received the order to retreat.

Although these Qingzhou troops are terrifying, they are not as fast as the cavalry. As long as they do not approach these soldiers, they will not be in danger.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw cavalry wearing silver cuirass rushing over. These cuirassiers maintained a tight formation. No matter how harassed they were by mounted fire, there was no confusion. If the cavalry in front fell, the cavalry behind would take over. above, always like a torrent of steel.

It was these cavalry’s constant forward attacks that caused them heavy losses. They had never seen such an attack.

He tightened the reins and galloped away, Gu Duo immediately avoided its sharp edge.

At this time, he saw the Jinwu Guards gathering food and grass again under the protection of the Qingzhou Army and heading towards the Forbidden Army’s station.

At this time, it was Qi Guangyi who was gathering the Jinwu Guards to escort the grain and grass again.

When the barbarians attacked the grain road, the peasants who rhymed with grain and grass surrounded the carriage transporting grain and grass in a circle, and all the peasants hid behind the carriage.

During this period, the Jinwu Guards and the barbarian cavalry were basically fighting. Although there were casualties among the people, the casualties were not large.

Now that the barbarian cavalry attacking the grain road had been defeated, it was time to transport grain and grass to the Jinwuwei camp without further delay.

Under the escort of the Qingzhou Army, the chaotic grain and grass team began to advance slowly.

Guduo watched this scene anxiously, but he had no choice but to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Just when Qi Guangyi was leading the musketeers and cuirassiers to fight, behind an open forest, Zhan Xingchang was helping Liang Yubin and He Cheng heat the hot air balloon under the protection of five hundred musketeers and one thousand cavalry.

“This is the map. We are roughly at this location now. Jizhou City is thirty miles to the north and twenty miles to the northeast of Fen City. The first place you should go to now is Fen City to contact Governor Niuben in the city and send Tell him the current distribution of the Imperial Army.”

Zhan Xingchang carefully ordered Qi Guangyi.

The war is now in a stalemate. Although both sides are in a stalemate, it can turn into a war at any time. The communication of news is extremely important now.

Liang Yubin nodded. Now that the hot air balloon heating has been completed, he and He Cheng boarded the hot air balloon.

At this time, the soldier holding the hot air balloon released his hand, and the hot air balloon slowly lifted into the sky.

There was a severe drought in Jizhou, so the weather was naturally cloudless and the wind was very light. After the hot air balloon took off, it began to move slowly northward.

Zhan Xingchang looked helplessly at the slow-moving hot air balloon. He always doubted the role of such hot air balloons on the battlefield.

After sending the hot air balloon to the sky, Zhan Xingchang said to the soldiers around him: “Go immediately to help the Forbidden Army transport food and grass. If it is too late, you will be afraid that the barbarian cavalry will come again.”

This time the barbarians were very cunning and cut off the food and grass six miles away from the Forbidden Army camp .

, which left the Forbidden Army to watch helplessly as their supplies were cut off and unable to rush for help in time.

Because if the formation in front is messed up, the barbarians will inevitably attack with a large army, and then everything will be lost.

Just after Zhan Xingchang gave the order, everyone on the battlefield saw a huge thing rising slowly from the water forest.

Except for the Qingzhou Army, the Forbidden Army and the barbarians all looked at the big ball floating in the sky in horror, so much so that many people forgot to fight.

At this time, the hot air balloon stayed at a distance of 300 meters. This position was not high, but it was enough to ensure that no weapon could harm the hot air balloon.

At the same time, such a close distance allows the two of them to clearly observe the situation on the ground.

“You savage dogs, come and beat me, come and beat me.”

He Cheng shouted on the hot air balloon. Their voices could not be heard on the ground at a distance of 300 meters, but this could not stop the two of them from doing so. Excitement.

As a Qingzhou native, who doesn’t hate the barbarians?

While venting, the two of them kept adjusting their altitude to find a suitable wind direction and headed towards Fencheng.

“Brother Liang, why not throw a gunpowder jar down?” He Cheng picked up a gunpowder jar with a smile on his lips.

“This cannot be thrown around. His Highness said that this gunpowder can should be thrown in a crowded place.” Liang Yubin said.

He Cheng put down the gunpowder pot helplessly. At this time, they suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, and the direction of the wind was due north.

“We found a wind layer.” Liang Yubin said with a smile, “When we go north, we will look for the westward wind direction.”

He Cheng nodded, and the two of them controlled the hot air balloon to constantly adjust its height, keep going up and down, and float up Float away.

In the Forbidden Army camp, the Forbidden Army suffered over 10,000 casualties in yesterday’s fierce battle, and the barbarian cavalry also left thousands of corpses behind.

It was not until evening that both sides stopped fighting and rested and had meals.

However, in order to prevent the barbarian cavalry from attacking, they could only take turns eating and always maintain a battle formation to defend against the barbarian cavalry.

After daytime, they continued to be in a stalemate. At this moment, Luo Hong saw a strange thing floating from the sky, which was floating towards the barbarian camp.

Chagatai also saw this thing floating in the sky. He was a little confused and even a little afraid.

But when this thing floated over their heads, suddenly a black thing fell from above.

“Boom…” Before they could react, a violent explosion suddenly sounded dozens of meters away from Chagatai, and a group of cavalry fell into the sea of fire.

Chagatai was shocked. He could see clearly that it was the gunpowder jar of the Qingzhou Army.

This thing flying in the sky was actually throwing gunpowder cans at them. Suddenly, Chagatai felt a chill behind him. What kind of strange thing was this?

It’s just that this strange thing doesn’t seem to want to stay and keeps drifting northward with the wind. That’s where Besantiji’s silver tent is.

Thinking of this, he was shocked and immediately sent someone to inform Besantiji of the matter.

Liang Yubin laughed loudly on the hot air balloon. They threw several gunpowder cans on top of the passing barbarian soldiers, but they could only throw a few because the wind kept moving the hot air balloon and they could not keep throwing it.

Just as King Qi said, their most important task is to investigate and deliver news. The throwing of the gunpowder jar is just to deter the barbarians. It would be best if they can scare them out.
