Chapter 204: A Step Toward Victory

"Kill!"

The heavy cavalry had assembled, Chen Hu raised his saber, and the heavy cavalry galloped forward slowly. Read

When there was still a hundred meters away from the Yuan family's army, the heavy cavalry suddenly accelerated and galloped quickly.

"Rumble..." neat horse hooves sounded on the ground.

This sound, which was different from the loud noise, made some Yuan family soldiers look back.

When they found that a cavalry armed to the teeth was pressing towards them like a mountain, they ignored everything and ran back desperately.

But everything was too late.

The galloping heavy cavalry was like a car at a speed of 60 per hour.

It is conceivable that 1,500 cars rushed side by side towards the chaotic crowd.

Under the huge impact, the Yuan family soldiers were directly knocked away.

After falling down, they were trampled by the horses. The heavy cavalry were like a sharp blade cutting into tofu, crushing them all the way.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

As the heavy cavalry launched a charge, the army formation of the royal soldiers moved.

The soldiers moved forward slowly, step by step towards the chaotic Yuan family soldiers.

First they were baptized by artillery, then they were ravaged by heavy cavalry, and now the army of the King of Yan was approaching.

The morale of the Yuan family soldiers completely collapsed.

They were like headless flies, not looking for their companions, let alone their generals.

They just fled desperately to save their lives.

Soon, the whole wilderness was full of Yuan family soldiers fleeing in all directions.

There were even a large number of soldiers who rushed to the army where Yuan Xiu was, causing chaos.

The defeat of the Yuan family's army of more than 40,000 people was seen by the soldiers of Yanguan, and their morale was immediately shocked.

Jiang Han shouted: "Brothers, kill, victory is at hand."

In his shouting, the attack of the Yanguan soldiers suddenly became fierce, killing the Yuan family soldiers at the gap several meters away.

Compared with Jiang Han's excitement, Guo Tu looked ashen.

The scattered Yuan family soldiers could no longer be organized.

And only more than 40,000 soldiers were left in his hands.

After the army led by Yuan Xiu collapsed, he saw the panic of the generals around him.

They could hear the thunderous roar.

The terrifying lethality of the weapon was clearly stated by the soldiers who fled.

Yuan Xiu's army collapsed before they even engaged the troops of King Yan. How could they win?

"Those who flee from the battlefield will be killed without mercy!"

Guo Tu was furious.

More and more deserters attacked his army.

If this continued, his army would also be disrupted.

Seeing the generals around him looking distracted, he shouted, "What are you doing? Why don't you kill these chaotic soldiers who are attacking the army?"

"Yes, sir." Seeing Guo Tu's rage, the generals' faces suddenly changed.

Yuan Xiu comforted, "Don't worry, the Northern Di army is at the north gate. As long as the north gate is broken, they will come to support us, and then the King of Yan will only die miserably."

The only belief in the hearts of the generals was the Northern Di people.

Otherwise, they would just want to escape like these defeated soldiers.

After returning to their respective armies, they immediately ordered the Yuan family soldiers who were fleeing to the army.

As soon as the Yuan family soldiers who were fleeing back ran into the army, they saw the soldiers pointing their swords at them.

"If you desert in the face of the enemy, you will be killed without mercy!" The soldiers in the army shouted loudly.

The defeated soldiers just wanted to escape. This was the Yuan family army, so they naturally ran to their own side.

Now that their own people pointed their swords at them, they stopped and dared not move forward.

But the soldiers behind them kept rushing over, and the defeated soldiers were pushed forward.

Seeing this, the generals shouted: "Kill!"

After the order was issued, the soldiers in the army immediately swung their swords, and more than a dozen defeated soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

Unlike the soldiers who fled in all directions, these who fled back to the army completely lost their will to fight and only cared about their own lives.

They still wanted to continue fighting with the King of Yan under the organization of the generals.

But now the soldiers in the army raised their butcher knives to them, they were completely angry.

"Why kill your own people? Why kill your own people?" A defeated soldier shouted.

His voice stopped abruptly, and a sharp sword pierced his body.

"You bastards, I will kill you." The defeated soldiers fell one by one, and some of them went crazy.

They picked up swords and slashed at the soldiers in the army.

For a time, the army fell into greater chaos.

Guo Tu became more and more anxious when he saw it.

The army of King Yan was getting closer and closer, and he had little time left.

On the one hand, he sent more than 5,000 people to rush to the gap of the South Gate again.

He kept ordering the generals to clean up the defeated soldiers and ensure the integrity of the army.

He knew very well that once the army fell into chaos, his troops would end up like Yuan Xiu's army.

Under his order, the generals of the Yuan family ordered to kill the defeated soldiers.

These defeated soldiers had no formation, like scattered soldiers, and were no match for the soldiers in the strict army.

Soon, the defeated soldiers were killed and chilled.

They ran to the wilderness and never looked back.

At this time, the army formation of the Yan King's soldiers was less than 300 meters away from them.

The generals of the Yuan family in the army formation saw horses pulling things like fire guns.

When the Yan King's army formation stopped, these things were placed on both sides.

It was these things that defeated Yuan Xiu's army formation.

"The command below is in your hands." Zhao Xu turned to Chang Wei.

For him, the next battle was just a repetition of the previous one.

Sometimes some tactics are effective on the battlefield, just keep using them until the enemy breaks through and needs to use other methods.

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei licked his lips excitedly.

Now he could see the Yanguan soldiers fighting at the south gate.

Now as long as they defeated the last Yuan family soldier, they could enter Yanguan and support Mo Yu.

"Grapeshot!" he shouted loudly.

When the sound of the artillerymen getting ready came, he drew his long sword and pointed it at the Yuan family army, "Hit hard for me."

"Boom boom boom..."

More than a hundred cannons spewed out flames and poured shells into the Yuan family army.

The Yuan family soldiers fell down again like wheat blown by the wind.

At this moment, he stood on the high platform and looked down at the battlefield.

When he heard the loud noise and saw his soldiers die in large numbers in an instant.

He knew he was finished.

The firearms used by the King of Yan were completely beyond his cognition.

He could not win with such weapons, especially since the King of Yan's soldiers were basically intact.

Sure enough.

With the sound of cannons, the soldiers in front of the army collapsed.

They fled in all directions like the defeated soldiers, dropping their swords and even taking off their armor, just to run faster.

Once the rout began, it could no longer be stopped.

As more and more soldiers fled, his army collapsed.

The generals shouted again and again, but could not get a single soldier to return to the army.

After the army fell into complete chaos, the troops of the King of Yan moved.

Guo Tu's heart beat with the heavy sound of the heavy cavalry's hooves.

When the heavy cavalry crashed into the chaotic soldiers and rushed towards him, his ambition was replaced by fear at this moment.

"Sir, run away quickly, we can't win." Yuan Xiu came to Guo Tu in embarrassment.

He had just been scattered by the chaotic soldiers and was only found now.

He had a clear understanding of the Yuan family's troops.

They could fight in a favorable battle, but they collapsed quickly when they encountered an unfavorable battle.

Moreover, during the battle, the elite Yuan family soldiers often stood in the front, so that they could win the first wave of the battle.

In the one-day and one-night battle with the Yanguan Imperial Army, these elite soldiers suffered more than 20,000 casualties.

Now, the firearms of the King of Yan were used to attack the front row, and a large number of elite soldiers were wiped out at one time.

Such terrible casualties even made the elite soldiers in the front row collapse.

You can imagine what the other soldiers would do.

"Escape?" Guo Tu murmured, "I am unwilling, Yanguan is right in front of us, as long as we break the south gate, we will win."

"Sir, we have done what we should do, and leave the rest to the Beidi people. As long as we break Yanguan, our Yuan family will still be heroes." Yuan Xiu said.

For him, this battle is now impossible to fight, and the Yuan family's troops are all in chaos.

Staying here will only wait for death, and the only hope is Beidi.

According to his and Yuan Li's plan, once the war is unfavorable, they will evacuate and wait for news from Beidi.

If Beidi breaks Yanguan, it will be fine, but if they can't break Yanguan, they can only take Guo Tu to take the blame.

Guo Tu was completely unaware of everything and was still focused on the war.

He didn't want to give up, but the army of the King of Yan was approaching. If he didn't leave, he would really die.

He looked at the King of Yan's army with resentment, and then he got on his horse and fled to Fanyang.

The defeat of the Yuan family was like a landslide. Zhao Xu looked at the Yuan family's defeated soldiers fleeing south and immediately ordered Zhongli's light cavalry to chase and kill them.

Then he said to Chang Wei: "Enter Yanguan immediately and transport all the artillery to the north gate."

Although he wanted to kill Guo Tu and his troops immediately.

But now Yanguan is obviously more important, he has to go to the north gate immediately to prevent changes.

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei was relieved after defeating the Yuan family.

Hearing this, he tensed up again. Yes, the battle is not over yet.

They just defeated the Yuan family.

The real enemy, the Northern Di people, are still attacking outside Yanguan.
