Bai Yuze sat on the high platform, looking at the battlefield ahead with a serious expression.
At first, Bai Yuze believed that the "collapsed army" in front of him could be swept away in less than a day.
But the facts happen to be the opposite. The 30,000-odd Tang Jun actually relied on this not-so-natural moat for four days!
For a large-scale battle, four days is not a long time. After all, Bai Yuze was mentally prepared for a protracted battle before he set out.
However, 30,000 people resisted 150,000 for four days, which is very unacceptable.
More importantly, Tang Jun didn't even have a complete organizational system, and the weapons they used were all sorts of mess.
It was just such a miscellaneous army, which held back the elite troops of Qi for four days.
This is the first time that Bai Yuze has led troops on the expedition. He thought he could use this extraordinary battle to make a strong mark for himself in the history of the war of the Great Wilderness.
If we continue to develop in accordance with the current situation, we will have to become a legacy from the past.
After the war is over, how can you go back to meet the elders and villagers of Qiguo
Bai Yuze's patience has been completely exhausted, and he will complete his work to completely strangle this Tang army.
Whatever the cost!
"How is the battle ahead?" Bai Yuze asked coldly.
"The last trump card in Lu Tiansuo's hand is played, Datang Yulin Army." The guard replied loudly.
"Imperial Forest Army?" Bai Yuze smiled indifferently, "If it were the Xuanjia Army, it might still have the power of a battle. What kind of combat power could an army stationed in the palace all year round have? I gave my order to not take prisoners of war and kill them all."
"Yes." The guard immediately ran to send the order.
After the guards left, Bai Yuze felt that his eyes suddenly dimmed, and when he looked up, a continuous dark cloud floated over, blocking the sunlight, followed by lightning and thunder, which turned out to be a sign of rain.
Bai Yuze is not afraid of rain battles. The terrain of Qi is relatively low-lying compared to other countries. It rains for four or five months of the year. Training in the rain has long been accustomed to Qi soldiers.
It might be a good thing to rain. Compared with the soldiers of Datang, their fighting skills in the rain are far less skilled than the soldiers of Qi.
"This battle is over." Bai Yuze stepped off the platform and returned to his camp. He began to plan for the next action.
According to the information from the front, Chang'an's great defense formation is still unbreakable. Chu and Zhao have been besieging the city for several days, but they still can't find a way to break the city. The armies of the two countries are already a bit tired, and the food and grass are about to be consumed. Even if it is shipped from the country, it will take half a month or more.
More importantly, the journey from various countries to Chang'an was not all smooth sailing. The Tang people were completely defeated on the frontal battlefield, but they played a harassment war, ranging from hundreds to dozens or even more than a dozen people. They went up when they encountered an enemy. Harassment, fight if you can, or run if you can't fight, so that the reinforcements can't beat the harassment.
As long as Chang'an City is not broken, these Chinese people will not give up.
Wow...
The heavy rain came as scheduled.
The dense raindrops formed a curtain between the sky and the earth, blocking the line of sight.
The visibility instantly dropped to less than one meter.
Bai Yuze frowned.
Such heavy rain, even Qi soldiers who are used to fighting in the rain, are afraid that they will be unable to withstand it.
And because of the heavy rain, the banner could not be transmitted to the front battlefield immediately, and Bai Yuze could not grasp the changes in the front battlefield in time.
Intelligence is very important for war.
In Bai Yuze's heart, there was a bit of panic inexplicably.
boom!
With another loud noise, Bai Yuze immediately walked out of the camp and asked loudly, "What sound!"
The sound just now was definitely not the sound of thunder. Although it was very similar, Bai Yuze was certain that it was definitely not the sound of thunder.
The guard appeared next to Bai Yuze for the first time, saying: "It's not clear yet, the voice came from Tang Jun's direction."
"Tang Jun?" Bai Yuze said: "Quickly ask people to find out, what exactly is making the sound, I have a not very good premonition."
Before Bai Yuze's voice fell, the roar sounded again, and this time it rang several times, and the ground under Bai Yuze's feet trembled.
"Hurry up!" Bai Yuze yelled, his face turned a bit sullen.
The guard ran into the rain staggeringly.
However, this time, the guard did not come back.
Bai Yuze called a few guards again and told them all to go out to inquire about the news.
After waiting a full quarter of an hour, one of the guards ran back bloody.
Bai Yuze grabbed his shoulders, his eyes almost protruding from his eye sockets: "What the hell happened?"
Blood poured out from the corner of the guard's mouth, and his lips trembled constantly, as if he wanted to say something, but until the moment he died, he couldn't say a word.
Bai Yuze only noticed that there was a blood hole in the guard's chest, as if it had been pierced by something.
You must know that the guards are all wearing armor, and it is impossible for ordinary arrows to penetrate this armor.
More importantly, this kind of wound was not caused by an arrow at all.
This is a round pit!
Bai Yuze let go, and the guard fell softly.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong! Come, send my order, the troops will immediately retreat, immediately retreat!"
Bai Yuze's decision saved the Qi ** team.
But when the heavy rain stopped and Bai Yuze got the number of casualties, his heartbeat almost stopped.
"Twenty thousand? Twenty thousand dead?" Bai Yuze vigorously shook the cloth in his hand. "Just for a while, twenty thousand died? This is just to stand still and let people kill, and it is absolutely impossible! You are cheating Am I?"
"I don't dare to go down." A few soldiers knelt down quickly: "These figures are calculated from multiple sources, and the error will not exceed one thousand. Please also be clear to the army."
Bai Yuze's legs softened, and he fell directly on the seat, "Why is this? What kind of black magic did the Tang people use, who can answer me?"
One of the soldiers raised his head cautiously and said: "According to the evacuated cavalry, the Chinese used a new type of weapon that can eject extremely terrifying projectiles. This projectile is large in size and fast. It will explode. And the shock wave produced by the explosion can directly kill people! And the fragments produced by the explosion can affect anyone within three feet. This weapon has never been seen before, and it should be secretly developed by the Tang people. from."
"New weapons?" Bai Yuze felt a little mysterious when he heard this word. Although he was the first time he led a war, he has been in the army for more than 30 years.
, The weapon is too familiar to him. Knives, guns, sticks, axes, hooks and forks, I have never heard of that kind of weapon used to "spray"!
"In addition, Tang Jun also has a weapon in his hand. It is a long and thin round tube. The round tube can also eject projectiles. This projectile has extremely strong penetrating power and can directly penetrate the armor of our soldiers. Many soldiers were killed by this weapon. And as long as they are shot, they basically live and die on the spot, and there is no possibility of surviving." Another soldier reported.
Bai Yuze held his forehead with one hand, and was silent for a long time before saying, "How is the soldier's aura now?"
"Very low, facing this new weapon, everyone has a shadow in their hearts. It should not be possible to fight Tang Jun in a short time."
Bai Yuze said: "Then take a break, and send out all the scouts, and get me some Tang Jun weapons no matter the cost. I want to see what the hell is this kind of weapon!"
…
Won
Won!
Wang Sanshui hugged Ding Feng next to him, crying and laughing, as happy as a child.
Ding Feng was also very excited, and at the same time a little disgusted, "Uncle, your nose is rubbing my face."
Wang Sanshui slapped Ding Feng's head: "You little bastard, I still dislike Lao Tzu for coming."
"Uncle, we really survived." Ding Feng wiped the nose from his face, and tears came out instantly: "We survived."
Wang Sanshui said: "Yes, Lao Tzu is not dead, you are not dead, and Datang will not die, hahaha!"
Ding Feng asked: "Uncle, what are those flashy and explosive things just now?"
Wang Sanshui said: "I don't know, but I should know in a while. The general will always let us see. Let's go and see if anyone is alive."
Ding Feng nodded and followed Wang Sanshui to clean the battlefield.
If you see the survivor, you will bring it back, and if you meet the survivor of Qi, you will make another cut.
It is not the first time Ding Feng has done such a thing. Although he is still young, he can also be described with a hand full of blood now.
An hour later, all the soldiers responsible for cleaning the battlefield returned to the camp.
I also saw the "secret weapon" that changed the entire battle.
"Uncle, this thing looks so strange." Ding Feng asked in a low voice.
Wang Sanshui glared at him: "Where there are so many questions, wait patiently, and the general will tell us."
Lu Tiansuo walked to a temporary stand, so that he could speak easily, "My fellow soldiers, you are fortunate enough. We have resisted the onslaught of Qi people once again, and I can tell you aloud here, Qi can no longer break through our defenses! You have seen this thing. It is the key to our victory in this war. It was cast by the masters of the Chang'an City Refining Association. The scientific name is Artillery! Just now, you guys. I have also seen the power of artillery. With just one shell, it can instantly kill dozens or even hundreds of people."
"In addition to the artillery, there is this, called the musket! Although it is not as powerful as the artillery, as long as it shoots accurately, a single shot can kill an enemy! What you need to do now is to learn how to use artillery and muskets as soon as possible. Method. Then, launch a counterattack. Qi State willfully massacred on my Datang land. The dead souls of my Datang people need countless Qi people's blood to pay back!"
