Steel Dynasty - Chapter 643

[Chapter 642 Soldiers attack]

“Kill!”

the Chinese soldiers shouted in unison, and the roar echoed through the night.

Luo Xin completed the deployment of field artillery in the distance. At this time, following his order, the artillery roared and the artillery shells flew towards the coalition camp.

At this time, the coalition camp was full of lit torches, and Liang Jun was heading towards Gyeongju. Even from a distance, the movements in the camp could be clearly seen.

In addition, the retreat of the coalition forces caused chaos, and the sentry at the camp did not notice the approaching Yunzhou City army at all.

The sound of artillery sounded, and the soldiers in the camp became even more panicked. Xiao Sa directed Liang Jun to speed up the withdrawal from the camp.

Cui Huai was also stunned by the artillery and roar at this time. He immediately shouted: “Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

“General, the Liang army has withdrawn, and Zhao Ang’s cavalry is also preparing to withdraw. Only our Yan army is left. We can’t defeat the Qi army. It’s too late to retreat now.”

Cui Huai knew that the situation was over. He sighed in despair, “God is going to destroy our country! Retreat!”

The generals shouted and rallied. The soldiers retreated towards Kaizhou City.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The brightly lit coalition camp was clearly visible to the artillerymen. Luo Xin had all the shells and gunpowder ready this time.

Not only were the field artillery roaring, but the mortars also fired lime bombs and explosive shells into the coalition camp. Suddenly, the coalition camp turned into a sea of flames.

At the same time, Niu Ben’s Chinese army continued to approach the camp, and the left and right armies began to form formations on both sides, squeezing the space of the three kings’ coalition forces.

The battle started with the Right Army. The retreating Liang Army encountered the Right Army who was waiting for help. The Right Army formed a column and did not use the traditional three-stage shooting, but used the hedgehog formation with more powerful firepower.

The soldiers in the first row are responsible for shooting, while the soldiers in the second row, third row, fourth row, and fifth row are responsible for loading. When the soldiers in the first row shoot, the soldiers in the second row hand over the flintlock rifles in their hands. To the soldiers in the first platoon.

At the same time, the soldiers in the second row handed over the loaded firearms to the third row, and then took a loaded flintlock gun.

Facing the intensive retreat of Liang’s troops, the continuous firepower caused a large number of casualties to Liang’s troops in an instant.

After suffering a bloody blow, the soldiers of the Liang Army retreated along the northwest direction under the leadership of the general. During this gap, the Yunzhou Army had not yet completed the encirclement.

Ye Qingyun calmly judged the situation on the battlefield. Liang Jun, who was eager to retreat, had no intention of fighting. They just wanted to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible.

And their plan did not prepare to eliminate them here with the Liang Army. Their troops were limited, and fighting against more than 300,000 coalition forces at the same time would incur huge casualties.

Therefore, from the beginning, they were prepared to let Liang Jun go and concentrate their forces to annihilate Yan Jun and Zhao Jun. Now they launched an attack on Liang Jun just to weaken Liang Jun’s strength.

After Liang Jun’s soldiers withdrew from the shooting range, Ye Qingyun led the soldiers to drive the defeated Liang Jun out of the encirclement like a duck.

At the same time, the tanks carrying soldiers headed in the direction of Shiraki, completely completing the blockade of the coalition camp.

Then he led the rest of the soldiers to move closer to the camp. At this time, the fireworks in the sky had bloomed, which was a signal to attack.

In the camp, Zhao Ang hurriedly gathered his cavalry, but because the camp was too chaotic, many soldiers could not find their generals or soldiers.

The gunshots were getting closer and closer, and Zhao Ang became more and more anxious. If this continued, none of them might be able to leave. He led the 20,000 people who had already assembled to retreat towards Kaizhou.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

The encirclement was completed. The left army, the right army, and the center army pushed towards the coalition camp at the same time. The soldiers kept stopping and firing while moving along the way.

Amid the screams, the Yan army soldiers continued to fall.

Cui Huai had turned from despair to hysteria at this time. The Yan army lost more than 60,000 people in the consecutive days of siege. Now the Yan army only has more than 100,000 people left. At this time, both the Liang army and the Zhao army retreated, and the remaining The Yan army also lost its numerical advantage.

It’s just that the trapped beast still fights. Faced with the desperate predicament, Cui Huaiye became more courageous. He led the elite black feather guards of the Yan army instead of retreating towards Kaizhou, but directly covered them from the left.

Kaizhou City was once a royal city to him. Although it was captured by the Yan Kingdom, the wealthy families in the city still did not surrender. If they returned in embarrassment, they would probably be attacked from both inside and outside.

The direction on the left is a shortcut to the Yan Kingdom. As long as he breaks through here, he can escape back.

“Kill! Those who break out of the encirclement will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels.” Cui Huai shouted with red eyes.

In the Yan Kingdom, he was a general trusted by the King of Yan and his younger brother, with great prestige.

The Black Feather Guards are the most elite foot soldiers of the Yan Kingdom, marked by the black feathers on their helmets. They are a direct lineage of the Yan Kingdom’s family, and their generals are mostly from their clans and are very loyal.

Forty thousand black feather guards, led by Cui Huai and other generals, rushed towards the left wing led by Luo Hong like an evil beast in the dark.

Under the bright moonlight, I saw a large group of dark soldiers rushing over. The soldiers of the left army clenched their flintlock guns in their hands.

They were determined and had cold eyes. Faced with such a large-scale charge, everyone from the soldiers to the generals understood that even if they deployed the fire hedgehog, they would only be able to fire twelve bullets at most, and then the other side’s soldiers would rush in front of them.

So, before these soldiers were even within range they attached their bayonets, because eventually they would end up in hand-to-hand combat.

Looking at the densely packed Yan soldiers rushing towards him, Luo Hong took a deep breath. He looked at the soldiers who were neatly dressed and showed no trace of panic. He felt reassured.

He had to admit that the soldiers he led were the most elite soldiers in Dayu. They were extremely loyal to Xiao Ming and had a passion for the rejuvenation of the country and the nation.

What is more powerful than the weapons in their hands is their indomitable and courageous spirit of public warfare.

“Fire!” Luo Hong completely abandoned his fear of death at this time, and his emotions turned into a command.

“Bang bang bang…”

The firelight illuminated the night sky with the firelight, and the bullets sprayed from the flintlock guns flew fiercely towards the Yan Kingdom’s black feather army that was rushing towards them like evil beasts.

Amidst the screams, the Black Feather Army soldiers fell one after another, but the Black Feather Army soldiers behind them continued to rush forward over the corpses of the soldiers.

“Archers, prepare!”

Cui Huai was hiding behind the formation of the Black Feather Army. Now was his only chance to leave here alive. As long as he could escape from the camp, it didn’t matter even if all the soldiers of the Black Feather Army died.

Under the supervision of the general, the Black Feather Army continued to rush forward despite musket fire.

“The first one to break out of the siege will be rewarded with 50,000 taels of silver and be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!” Cui Huai shouted out an even crazier reward for fear that his soldiers would be dispersed.

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. At this time, the soldiers of the Black Feather Army shouted and rushed forward crazily.
