Chapter 202 Awakening

The gate of the defensive city wall in Xingchang County slowly opened, and the legion gushed out like a tide. The leader turned out to be the elite of the 5,000 militia regiment led by Dugu Junjie himself.

At the same time, Zhang Han took over Dugu Junjie's position and ordered the No. 5 gun to attack at an elevation angle of nearly 76 degrees. The shells rushed several kilometers into the air, and then began to fall. In the end, it fell less than one kilometer away from the city wall.

"boom!"

The flames soared into the sky, and the power of the explosion made everyone on the city wall faintly feel the ground trembling under their feet.

At close range, Gu Xingdong, the county guard, took a deep breath. He saw that within a radius of 100 meters, it was instantly emptied; he saw that within a radius of more than 20 meters, countless stumps and broken arms flew up. He saw a cloud of gunpowder smoke billowing into the air.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Jinyang were even more stunned. The huge roar made the soul tremble.

Dugu Junjie took the opportunity to roar: "The kingdom of Jinyang has betrayed its faith, the heaven has rewarded the kingdom of Qixia with the power of thunder god, Sima Zhen has been condemned by heaven!

Kill, those who surrender will not be killed! "

Although Dugu Junjie is only at the late Golden Core stage, he has two Nascent Soul stages around him to protect him. The five thousand elites tore apart the forwards of the Kingdom of Jinyang like knives, and quickly cut through the enemy army; the army from the rear flooded in like a tide, encircling, beheading, or capturing the forwards of the Kingdom of Jinyang who were stupefied.

Cannonballs kept falling overhead. Although there was only one cannon covering the army, it was enough to paralyze and panic the army of Jinyang Kingdom.

Under the command of Zhang Han, the artillery shells are specially directed at places with a lot of people and generals' flags. As soon as you see a neat queue or a battle formation, take special care of it immediately.

Facing the sudden appearance of the artillery, the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang was in chaos, and most of them lost their fighting spirit. The greatest power of artillery is actually not lethality, but shock and deterrence.

The explosion that made the earth tremble, the gunpowder smoke that soared into the sky, the loud noise like thunder sweeping the ground, coupled with the slogan of Dugu Junjie, etc., completely confused the army of Jinyang Kingdom.

In particular, Sima Zhen has not issued an order until now, so some determined generals had to start organizing a retreat.

But Qixia Kingdom, under the leadership of Dugu Junjie, became more and more courageous in the battle; the rest of the generals in the rear were not to be outdone, and roared and directed the troops to charge.

Under the cover of continuous artillery, everyone rushed to the hill where Sima Zhen was before.

At this time, the mountain was already full of potholes, with a pungent smell everywhere, as well as horrific stumps and broken arms.

Taking this place as the boundary, the Nascent Soul stage masters of Dayang Group are fighting against the Nascent Soul stage masters of Jinyang Kingdom. The Nascent Soul stage masters of the Qixia Kingdom each had a set of steel weapons and armor, shouting excitedly, while the Nascent Soul stage masters of the Jinyang Kingdom had to fight and retreat to buy time for the army.

The war continued until sunset. The highlands that once belonged to the Kingdom of Jinyang now belong to the Kingdom of Qixia.

The soldiers chanted slogans, dragged the three new artillery pieces to the top of the hill, and immediately fired at the retreating enemy troops; but under the command of Dugu Junjie, the attack distance of the new artillery pieces was limited to 10 kilometers—— The limit distance of fifteen kilometers is not yet ready for use.

Zhang Hao also came to the top of the mountain, watching the army at the foot of the mountain surging like a vast ocean, he was very excited. In the just-concluded war, the Qixia Kingdom won a big victory, capturing and annihilating more than 80,000 troops from the Jinyang Kingdom in one go. This is an unprecedented victory.

Not only that, but the previous bombardment seems to have wiped out the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of Jinyang. So far, the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang is still retreating overnight, leaving behind a lot of luggage.

"Did you win?" Gu Xingdong, the governor of Xingchang County, is still a little erratic.

Zhang Hao is more rational, and he looked away: "It can only be said to be a temporary victory. The roots of Jinyang Kingdom have not been damaged. Also, although the artillery temporarily frightened the opponent, it is only temporary.

Our artillery is not enough, and the opponent can easily find a way to crack it.

Judging from the current situation, artillery can only be regarded as a surprise weapon. And we brought a total of 900 shells this time, and we have used up more than 300 shells just now. "

The excitement on Gu Xingdong's face gradually disappeared.

Dugu Junjie came to Zhang Hao's side, "Master, the enemy may come to rob the camp tonight.

If I were the opponent's general, no matter whether it is the chief general or the deputy general, as long as someone is in charge, I will definitely come to find out tonight. If you can get a cannon, or get a good victory, even if you lose the battle, you will have an explanation when you go back!

And we can't be sure that the opponent's coach will die, or maybe only slightly injured; we must be fully prepared.

Not only our place, but Xinglin Hall, and even the City Lord's Mansion all need to make corresponding preparations. "

Zhang Hao nodded: "Then, let everyone set up a few more traps tonight."

Half an hour later, Dugu Junjie came to report: "Young Master, the Immortal Immortal Formation has been set up here, and the base of the formation is made of steel to ensure that they cannot come and go. The Xinglin Hall and the City Lord's Mansion have also taken necessary protection.

Also, to make sure the enemy will come here, I am going to have a bonfire dinner on the top of the hill, where we will rejoice and put the artillery in the most prominent position.

However, doing so also has certain risks. "

Zhang Hao nodded, war must bear risks, as long as Dugu Junjie thinks it is okay, Zhang Hao will support it.

Zhang Hao doesn't particularly care about military affairs, because Zhang Hao knows very well that he can be an afterthought for specific military matters, but what is needed on the battlefield is ex ante!

Dugu Junjie discussed with Zhou Shuhai, Gu Xingdong and others again, and soon the whole army was excited. In the evening, not only to celebrate the victory, but also to visit the artillery, and to reward today's outstanding military exploits next to the artillery!

…………

Fifty miles away, Sima Zhen suddenly yelled and sat up abruptly; then he felt burning all over his body, the pain inside and outside was unbearable. It seems that the whole body has been skinned and cramped, and the bones have been sucked out. The soul seems to be twitching.

In his mouth, he could taste the flavors of Yangshen Pill, Wugou Pill, Huxin Pill, etc. His head was dizzy, and there were constant sharp buzzing circling in his mind, and he always felt that the world was still spinning.

I couldn't lift a smidgen of strength from my whole body.

The surrounding guards exclaimed excitedly: "The commander is awake, the commander is awake!"

In no time, more than a dozen generals gathered around Sima Zhen, but most of these generals were former middle-level generals, and the high-level generals were all playing 'make-up' for the party—they looked so miserable.
