Chapter 182 The suffocation of death
"Here you come." There is no need for spies to check. The sound of horse hooves from afar was even louder than the last time.
Using the telescope, Xiao Xiaoyan could see the other party's formation clearly at a glance. He said, "This time the other party was well prepared. There were such a huge heavy cavalry in front of him, but where did their armor come from? Brother Yu, does the Intelligence Department have any news about this?"
"Yes." Speaking of this, Yu Zhan became both angry and disdainful: "It's not that damn aristocratic family who betrayed the interests of the Central Plains. They secretly sold the steel to the grassland and improved their forging technology. They only have their own interests, and they completely ignore the people and the country."
"But their technology is just that. So what if they are heavy cavalry? Even the blade is not something they can defend against, let alone guns and cannons."
"Haha, how the Central Plains has nothing to do with us. Now we are the people of the Yanhuang Empire. This is the country that truly considers our people, not to mention that the compassion of Your Majesty and the Adults for our soldiers is worthy of our hard work."
Xiao Xiaoyan has now completely integrated into the Yanhuang Empire. He became a refugee and refugee with his parents due to the war in the Central Plains, and almost starved to death. However, because of the empire's relief, they were given the right to survive. The parents lived in peace and happiness, and he also won the wife he liked. Now his son is three years old. Although he missed his family outside, he hoped to break up the territory for the empire.
Because this is not only the wish of his parents, but also the expectation of his wife and father-in-law. They have had the same experience and the same favors of the empire.
When his thoughts came back, the two armies were about to break out, so he could not be distracted. Even if it was easy for them to resolve the war in front of them. What they learned in school required them to do their best no matter how weak they were.
Xiao Xiaoyan said, "How are you all prepared? No mistakes are there?"
"Please rest assured that there will be no accidents. Even if there is, we have set up a warning, and they will not have any possibility of sneak attacks."
This battle was deployed in the most meticulously based on intelligence, and some possible attacks were also taken into account. What's more, the resources in the rear were constantly transported, so they didn't need to worry that the ammunition could not be piled up to death by millions of people.
If not, then transport a few more ships over.
The lethality of artillery fire has been harshly experienced by this group of barbarians on the grassland. Although millions of troops are gathered, they are still feeling a little worried.
However, this battle must be fought, and they have no way out. Of course, there is no way out at all. They can still retreat all the way to the west, but how can they be willing to leave their ancestral land like this?
The leaders of several major tribes sat on the most handsome horses on the grassland, with a serious expression on their faces, discussing when to charge against the positions of the invaders ahead.
Tanai said: "Everyone, there may be the kind of explosion thunder on the ground ahead, and the enemy can also launch thunder. If you charge directly, you will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"Tana, do you have a better way?" Xiong Tao, the leader of another large tribe, said: "The warriors of the tribe are not afraid of death. Moreover, although the other party has such a magical weapon, it is impossible to destroy millions of our people at once. They only have less than 10,000 people, and as long as we rush over a small part, they are not able to stop them. For the tribe and for the sacrifice of brothers, everything is worth it."
"What's more, as long as we destroy them, the artifacts in their hands will belong to us. At that time, who in the world will be the enemy of my grassland warriors."
Faced with such temptation, they were not moved. Tanai didn't say anything more and said directly: "Then let's fight. There are millions of people, and I don't believe that even a mere person can't deal with this."
If Xiao Xiaoyan and others heard their words, they would definitely sneer. In the face of absolute strength, no matter how many people there are.
In order to deal with the endless outbreak of the barbarians on the grassland, they had already sought help from the empire and transported more artillery. Ten artillery positions and 1,500 artillery pieces were already aimed at the road covering the other party's advance. Moreover, their camps were carefully selected and would never give them the possibility of being round.
What these grassland barbarians can do is to defeat them directly from the front, otherwise they will definitely not be able to cross their front.
"Kill, kids, rush for me, kill all these two-legged lambs!"
"drive……"
Looking down from a high altitude, the originally forbidden black square formation began to pour towards Xiao Xiaoyan and the others, and the whole earth was trembling.
However, the moment they moved, Xiao Xiaoyan, Yu Zhan and others looked closely with their telescopes and ordered: "Article preparation! Prepare!"
Xiao Xiaoyan silently stared at the range of the cannon in her heart, and immediately shouted after the enemy entered the range: "Let it go!"
"Boom, boom..." The dust flew up with the sound of artillery fire in a few breaths, with people falling over and over, and there were heavy casualties in an instant.
But the barbarians on the grassland were not afraid, because some of them rushed over alive in the artillery fire, and they were left behind the explosion area. As long as they worked harder, they would soon be able to kill these hateful people.
This time they were prepared. As long as someone uses his life to trigger consumption of the thunder on the ground, they can move forward more along the way. In addition, the heavy armor on their bodies should be effective for the tube that makes thunder sound. Even if it is not big, it is enough to buy them a moment of time.
The artillery fire did not stop, and they were interwoven into a covering net. I believe that there should not be many people missing after the screening of artillery, and then the next minefield will be wiped out. Those who can continue to charge later will definitely be a nightmare for the cavalry.
As for those who are not dead like this, when they come out of the sinking ditch, the guns and guns will not be merciful. The cavalry becomes infantry, and with the guns and hands, Xiao Xiaoyan and the others are 100% sure to destroy as much as they want.
Tanai and others watched anxiously in the rear of the grassland tribe army, and there were no auxiliary tools such as telescopes, so smoke and dust and distance made them not very clear about the situation of the war.
They didn't say that fear was false, and they were also afraid of death. Now they could only silently pray for the faith of their grassland gods to bless the people of the grassland.
Gods may have it, but prayers will not let them bless.
In the smoke and dust, more and more artillery shells roared in, and the potholes made many cavalrymen turn over. The fallen men and horses turned into obstacles for their advancement in a blink of an eye, and very few could really rush out of the smoke.
Don’t underestimate the influence of emotions. It will fade again and again. When the formation cannot be maintained and when the horse is frightened and uncontrollable, the disaster will truly begin.
The other party claims to be a million troops, and it is impossible to verify the specific amount, but the cavalry is only hundreds of thousands at most. When these horses riot, the infantry following behind will be trampled. The frightened horse will not care about the weak humans blocking their faces.
"Captain, they are in chaos." In Yu Zhan and his telescope,
Although there is smoke of gunpowder, there are still many situations that can be seen.
This situation naturally made Yu Zhan breathe a sigh of relief. Although he knew that it would be a big problem to resist, he still only realized the actual situation after fighting.
He smiled and said, "There are not many people rushing out, and they all fell into the ditch, and no one crawled out. I wonder if he was afraid to pretend to be dead inside."
"It's possible." This battle lived up to expectations. As the commander of this battle, the last bit of pressure from the regiment commander Xiao Xiaoyan was gone at this moment. He said: "Let the artillery continue to bombard. Since they have entered the fire range, keep them as much as possible to save some effort to sweep the entire grassland next."
It was relaxing and pleasant here, and the hearts of the leaders of the grassland were almost sinking to the end. At the front, they were covered by smoke and dust and could not see clearly, but behind them, they began to get messy, and horses kept rushing into the crowd.
As for where these horses came from, they don't have to think about it.
If this happens, something must have happened to the front-end cavalry. I just don’t know if there are any people rushing over?
"Run in, those who dare to retreat will be killed without mercy." Several leaders came forward and shouted in person. Seeing that there was some uncontrollable scene, they directly waved their swords to kill several people. The bloody scene and the leader's scolding made the turbulent infantry stabilize their positions.
"Run in, the warriors at the front end have rushed over. You must follow their footsteps. Victory belongs to us." Although we do not understand the specific situation of the war, the morale of the army needs to be encouraged.
The leader's words made them join the battle again, but in fact they could not help. They were unable to retreat to death, and there might be a way forward. I didn't see the former brothers lying on the ground. Their leaders were cruel to the enemy and they would not be vague to the disobedient people.
However, this time the threat was obviously useless. When these soldiers rushed into the smoke of gunpowder again, not long after, they retreated faster, because the bloody facts told them that the hope of living after entering was even more slim. Then they realized that their leaders were only a few people, and as long as everyone was determined to run away, the unlucky ones were not necessarily themselves, and this was the way to live.
"Stop, stop, the escapees will be killed without mercy!" Tanai and others were furious and rode their horses to kill many people, but they still couldn't stop these soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit and were determined to escape.
Some soldiers even changed their eyes when they looked at their leader because they blocked their own way of life. The rabbits even bite people when they were anxious, let alone those barbarians who were already concerned about the prevalence of the weak.
The solution was unexpected, but reasonable. The soldiers who were driven crazy by artillery fire now only wanted to survive, and directly drew their swords to the person who wanted to kill themselves.
Just a few leaders, their military power may be outstanding, but in the end, they can only hate them.
So, not to mention the future, Tanai and others became the most depressing leaders who died in history.
Xiao Xiaoyan and the others didn't care about the rear of these barbarians on the grassland. Their order was: "Crash continuously with artillery fire. If someone passes through the minefield and crosses the Shanmagou, hello with his hands. �
I thought about using the latest rifles developed by the five empires to surprise them, but unfortunately there is no place to use them yet. The opponent has too many soldiers and the distance is too far. If it is a city defense battle, you can definitely easily take the head of the enemy general without any defense.
The war on the grassland has slowly come to an end, and the final cleaning work will be followed.
Chapter completed!
