Chapter 343 The Loss of the War Was All that Woman’s Fault

Chapter 343 The defeat in the war is all that woman's fault!

Seeing that the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom were still standing there, Ying Feiyu felt something was wrong.

The two armies were fighting, but the other side didn't set up a military formation?

Mu Changtian was also a seasoned man, how could he not know the importance of military formations.

Soldiers who didn't set up military formations were just a pile of loose sand. Could it be that Mu Changtian was going to lead this pile of loose sand to fight against the 300,000 troops of Dawu?

There were originally few soldiers of the Northern Kingdom at the scene, and it was estimated that there were only tens of thousands of people. Tens of thousands of people against 300,000 already had no chance of winning, not to mention that these soldiers of the Northern Kingdom were not fighting to defend the city, but ran outside the city to fight Dawu head-on.

When fighting outside the city, the most important thing for the two armies was the change of military formations. The side without military formations basically had to be defeated.

Ying Feiyu felt something was wrong. Mu Changtian was not a fool, how could he not even set up a military formation? What was the Northern Kingdom doing?

Although he couldn't figure out what Mu Changtian was up to, since the North Country had exposed such a big flaw, Ying Feiyu didn't intend to be polite.

Under the sound of drums, the army led by Ying Feiyu quickly set up their troops, but at this moment, the drums on the North Country side also sounded.

Hearing the drums from the North Country, Ying Feiyu thought that Mu Changtian and his men had just reacted to set up their troops, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly, and then he said to himself: "It's too late!"

The next moment, Ying Feiyu was ready to lead the army to attack, but at this moment, a deafening sound suddenly came from a distance, and the sound was so loud that even the drums of both sides could not cover it.

Before Ying Feiyu could react to what happened, a huge iron ball fell into the Dawu army.

Usually, the soldiers in the army are standing densely, and a cannonball fell directly into the crowd, the consequences can be imagined.

Just when people thought that the iron ball was just a projectile thrown by the Northern Kingdom with a catapult, the iron ball exploded instantly, and the next moment, the soldiers around the iron ball were instantly blown down.

The violent explosion immediately woke up the soldiers of Dawu, and also woke up Ying Feiyu, but the 300,000 soldiers of Dawu were at least experienced soldiers, and they did not panic immediately.

Ying Feiyu was about to issue a new order, and the next moment, a continuous roar came from a distance.

On the artillery position of the Northern Kingdom, the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom had entered a combat state and kept firing shells at Ying Feiyu's army.

As the shells exploded in Ying Feiyu's army, the limbs of the soldiers of Dawu began to fly all over the sky.

Ying Feiyu finally realized why the Northern Kingdom could conquer the North so easily and defeat the army of King Tianqi with a great master.

He immediately gave the order and shouted loudly: "Disperse!"

Although he didn't know what the exploding iron ball was, he knew very well that if he continued to maintain the army formation and such a dense position, the 300,000 troops he brought would soon be killed by the enemy.

After hearing Ying Feiyu's order, the messenger waved the flag quickly, but at this moment, a sharp voice came from beside Ying Feiyu. The next moment, Ying Feiyu realized the threat to his life and dodged quickly.

He dodged, but the messenger behind him fell directly. Ying Feiyu looked back and found that there was a small hole on the messenger's forehead, as if he was injured by some hidden weapon.

Immediately afterwards, many heads appeared in the trenches dug by the Northern Kingdom, and then countless bullets poured out.

Now the Northern Kingdom's musket bullets are not accurate, but Ying Feiyu's army formation has not dispersed yet, and the soldiers' positions are too dense, which is no different from queuing up for execution.

Facing the rain of bullets, Ying Feiyu immediately said: "The whole army retreats!!!"

As soon as the words fell, the drums sounded again, and the messengers in the army waved the flags frantically. The 300,000 troops of Dawu retreated directly, and they didn't even last a quarter of an hour.

This was not because of how many people they died, but because they had never seen the weapons used by the Northern Kingdom. The artillery and muskets brought them too much shock, which made them extremely scared.

Humans are always the most afraid of the unknown. Ying Feiyu was afraid that if this continued, the 300,000 troops he led would be defeated here, and now they had to retreat.

The weapons used by the Northern Kingdom were too terrible. They must figure out what weapons the Northern Kingdom used. Before figuring out what the weapons of the Northern Kingdom were and how they were obtained, Ying Feiyu did not intend to continue fighting with the Northern Kingdom's army.

But this was just his personal idea. Mu Changtian and others would not give Ying Feiyu and his team time to see the 300,000 troops of Dawu retreat in a panic.

At Mu Changtian's command, the army of the Northern Kingdom launched a full-scale counterattack, and Wen Renlie's heavy cavalry also took action.

Seeing that the Northern Kingdom's army began to counterattack, the retreating Ying Feiyu immediately asked a deputy general beside him to stay and lead 50,000 troops to hold back the Northern Kingdom's army.

Although he was extremely reluctant, this was on the battlefield after all, and military orders were as heavy as mountains, so the deputy general had to stay. He was planning to let the soldiers shoot arrows to obstruct the Northern Kingdom's army, but they were greeted by another round of bombardment.

Before Dawu's 50,000 troops had time to organize an effective defense, the soldiers were bombarded by cannons and flew all over the sky.

Even the experienced soldiers were frightened by this terrifying cannon. They no longer had the courage to face the northern army. Soon the 50,000 soldiers were defeated, even if the drums sounded again. No matter how loud the sound was, no matter how much the messenger asked them to go back, they would never go back.

The fear in the hearts of the soldiers has been maximized. Now even military law cannot restrict their determination to escape. Seeing that the 50,000 soldiers in the rear were defeated so quickly, Ying Feiyu was very angry inside, but now he can only be incompetent and furious. .

The weapons of the North are really terrible. The explosion of the iron ball can basically catch up with the Grand Master's attack. One iron ball is equivalent to one shot of the Grand Master. Ten iron balls are equivalent to ten shots of the Grand Master. One hundred iron balls are equivalent to the Grand Master's attack. The iron ball is equivalent to the Grandmaster taking one hundred shots.

Who can withstand a hundred grand masters? Even if Dawu's main force comes here, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand the bombing from the North.

Ying Feiyu just wants to escape to Lingyun City quickly, and then rely on the city wall to try to resist the counterattack of the Northern Army.

At this moment, a deputy general next to Ying Feiyu said in horror: "It's the heavy cavalry! The heavy cavalry from the North Kingdom is dispatched!!!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Feiyu quickly looked back behind him, and his eyes were immediately fixed on the Northern Heavy Cavalry Corps.

Those black armors and the murderous aura soaring to the sky made Ying Feiyu, a battle-experienced general, shudder.

If there was a military formation, Ying Feiyu would not be completely afraid of the heavy cavalry charging into the formation.

It is true that ordinary military formations cannot stop the charge of heavy cavalry, but Dawu's military formation has been continuously evolved in actual combat, and it can still play a great role in resisting the charge of heavy cavalry.

But now their military formation has been completely broken by the iron ball from the North. Now they are in a state of rout. In this state, they have no way to resist the charge of the heavy cavalry.

The key is that most of Dawu's army are infantry. No matter how fast these infantry escape, they can't compare with the black cavalry on horseback.

Seeing the black cavalry from the North frantically harvesting the lives of Dawu soldiers, Ying Feiyu's face was very ugly, but he had nothing to do now.

Their soldiers were scared out of their wits. At this time, there was no way to form a formation to resist the charge of the black cavalry. Besides, the North Country also had that terrifying iron ball weapon. Even if they formed an array, their formation would be blown up in a few blows. open.

Ying Feiyu said coldly at this time: "Speed ​​up!"

It was found that those soldiers who fell behind were all regarded as abandoned by Ying Feiyu. Instead, he hoped that the heavy cavalry in the North would focus on those soldiers to create more time for them to escape.

For about an hour, corpses were everywhere outside Yong'an County, and the corpses of Dawu soldiers were everywhere.

At the same time, Ying Feiyu led the remnant soldiers and finally arrived at Lingyun City. At this time, the gates of Lingyun City were wide open, and the people were coming in and out, not knowing what was going on.

Seeing many soldiers suddenly appearing in the distance, the people in Lingyun City were stunned, and some people began to complain.

"We are going to fight again, and we are the ones who suffer every time we fight."

"Those aristocratic families don't produce any food, so they are looking for food from us poor families."

"It's hard to live a day like this. If you ask me, we might as well go to the North."

"I heard that as long as you become a person from the North Country, you can immediately get a large piece of land, and you will also be exempted from agricultural taxes forever."

"You are crazy. You are discussing this kind of thing without fear of being overheard by those military masters!"

…

Just as the people were talking about it, Ying Feiyu's remnant soldiers rushed directly to the city gate. The people had no time to dodge and were instantly knocked to the ground by the horses. The horses behind them continued to step on the people. For a moment, the city was The door suddenly became extremely chaotic, and many people were trampled to death.

Before the common people who had avoided the army could calm down, Ying Feiyu's voice suddenly came from the city gate, "Close the door!!!"

The Dawu people at the door were all confused. Why did Lingyun City suddenly close down? At this moment, billowing dust appeared again in the distance.

At this time, a common man from Dawu who had been to the Northern Kingdom instantly recognized the black cavalry from the Northern Kingdom. He quickly shouted: "It's the heavy cavalry from the Northern Kingdom!!!"

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the people of Dawu panicked instantly. In their opinion, no matter which country the soldiers were from, they were all the same, and they would burn, kill, and loot.

"The people from the North are coming!!!"

"Run quickly!!!"

"Do not kill me!!!"

…

Seeing the chaotic Dawu people at the city gate, Wen Renlie raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately stopped.

At this time, the common people at the gate of the city found that the black cavalry suddenly stopped, and they did not continue to run away. Now they were sandwiched between the black cavalry and the city wall. They had no place to escape if they wanted to escape, so they could only wait quietly for the black cavalry. next step.

Wen Renlie glanced at Lingyun City at this time, then used his skills and loudly said to the people of Dawu at the gate of Lingyun City: "Emperor Wu did not care about the life and death of the people of Dawu. He conscripted people violently and sent troops to attack the Northern Kingdom in an attempt to destroy the Northern Kingdom. Now Emperor Wu's plan has been Defeated, Dawu’s 300,000-strong army has been disintegrated by the Northern Kingdom.”

"The King of the North is kind and promises not to harm any of the powerful people who take refuge in the North. Moreover, the soldiers of the North will not take the initiative to embarrass any common people, nor will they take a piece of needle from the poor people, but will only pay back the wealth of the landlords and aristocratic families. "

Hearing this, the Dawu people at the gate of Lingyun City looked at me and I looked at you. In their hearts, they couldn't believe what Wen Renlie said.

If a soldier doesn't burn, kill, and loot, then he is still a soldier?

At this time, a common man said: "I have been to the North Country. The North Country is very rich now. I'm afraid they don't like the little money we poor people have. Even if they want to rob, they will rob the money of the landlord families. "

Another person said: "I think so too. The general said he would not embarrass us."

At this time, other voices also came from the crowd, "Do you really believe what he said? Your Majesty started this war. Now that Dawu has been defeated and the soldiers from the North have come in, how can they do nothing?"

"It's over, it's over, we are all going to die here."

Just when the people at the city gate were worried, Wen Renlie turned around and left directly with the black cavalry.

Ying Feiyu at the city gate finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene. He quickly asked his subordinate Fei Ge to pass a message to the capital for help.

At the same time, when the people of Dawu saw that the black cavalry from the North had just left, they felt incredible. Many of them who were entering and leaving the city were caravans. As a result, the heavy cavalry from the North came in front of them. Those soldiers But he didn't come over to rob them of their belongings.

Is it true that, as the general from the Northern Kingdom said, the Northern Kingdom really has no intention of embarrassing ordinary people like them?

Although some people believed Wen Renlie's words, many people still rushed home after the black cavalry left, preparing to flee Youping County with their families.

After Wen Renlie withdrew, he soon met up with Mu Changtian who led his troops into Youping County.

Wen Renlie led the cavalry, and his main task was to pursue the fleeing enemies, while the siege was left to the army led by Mu Changtian.

Mu Changtian had artillery under his command, and it was impossible to resist Lingyun City's broken gate.

Ying Feiyu, who was already resting in the county captain's mansion, suddenly heard a rumble from outside.

After a while, a soldier rushed into the yard and said: "General, general, it's not good!!! The army of the North is coming!!!"

Ying Feiyu slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground and said angrily: "Damn it!"

"What do the intelligence organizations under the eldest princess do? They are all a bunch of losers!!!"

"The Northern Kingdom has such terrifying weapons, but the eldest princess doesn't even know about it!!!"

"The failure of the war was all that woman's fault!!!"

Ying Feiyu became so emotional that he stopped talking about the eldest princess at the end and said directly, "That woman."

When people are afraid, they will have a lot of anger in their hearts. Ying Feiyu is now extremely angry. He puts all the responsibility on Wu Yunwan.

In his opinion, Wu Yunwan was the one who controlled the Dawu intelligence agency. As a result, she didn't know anything about the weapons owned by the North, and she didn't even provide relevant information to the court, which led to the defeat of their 300,000-strong army. .

At this time, a deputy general came to Ying Feiyu and said: "General, let's retreat through the back door!!!"

That kind of weapon is so powerful that the gates of Lingyun City may not be able to block it. If the Northern Army surrounds the entire Lingyun City, we will not be able to evacuate even if we want to.

After hearing this, Ying Feiyu came back to his senses. He tried to calm down his inner emotions and calm down.

He thought about it for a moment. Youping County is located between Dayue and Dawu. If he escapes directly and leaves Lingyun City, the main force entering Dayue will probably be cut off from its logistics supply. Even if he escapes back to the capital by then, , will also be dealt with by military law.

Thinking of this, Ying Feiyu clenched his fists and then said: "We can't withdraw! If we withdraw now! If you lose Youping County, if you lose Youping County, my general will lose his head when he goes back!"

"I don't believe that the Northern Army can invade!"

Having said this, Ying Feiyu took his sword and headed towards the gate of Lingyun City.

By this time the siege had begun.

Many cannonballs fell on the tower, leaving holes everywhere in the tower.

Although Dawu's soldiers were frightened by the cannons, they continued to use catapults and bows and arrows to fight back, but these things did no harm to Mu Changtian and the others.

The range of the North's artillery has basically exceeded the range of ordinary archers. If it is not an archer above the ninth level, it will be very difficult to shoot the soldiers of the North in the distance.

When Ying Feiyu came to the tower, his face turned livid when he saw the bombed corpses everywhere.

But soon he also discovered a problem.

Although the weapons of the North are very powerful, they seem to be far less numerous than before. It didn't take long for the artillery fire in the North to become sparse, and even the soldiers were able to judge the impact point of the shells in advance and then avoid the attack. .

Seeing that the number of cannonballs suddenly became so small, Ying Feiyu seemed to understand something. He laughed and said: "The more powerful the weapon, the more precious it is. The power of this iron ball is so huge, it must be very powerful." It’s difficult to make and the quantity is definitely limited.”

"The North Kingdom's attack has become so weak, which proves that this weapon is almost used up. We just need to hold off until the court's reinforcements arrive, and there will definitely be a chance to counterattack."

Hearing Ying Feiyu's words, the generals and soldiers around him became excited.

Yes, this weapon is so powerful, so the manufacturing method must be very difficult, and it is impossible to have too many.

The Northern Army has already used so many before, and it is almost used up. Even if they use those iron balls to blow up the city gate and blow it down, as long as the Dawu soldiers in the city can defend the city gate, the Northern soldiers will not be able to enter.
