Chapter 175 The war begins in a new way

"boom!"

A cannon sound came from the side.

Gao Jie looked in the sound and saw a black dot flying over from behind the hill, followed by seven or eight roars.

The shell landed on the open space and bounced on the hard rocks, and finally splashed to a place not far from Gao Jie and stopped.

The other shells were mostly like this, but their target was not Gao Jie's handsome flag, but the artillery position behind Gao Jie.

"Jiannu also knows how to use cannons?"

Looking at the solid shells picked up by the guards, Gao Jie weighed them in his hand and found that they were an eighteen-pound cannon shell.

Then he threw away the shells and Gao Jie said to his personal guards: "Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi" was behind the hill and caught them!"

The leader of the personal guard responded and led the five hundred cavalry to penetrate the inconspicuous hill with the flying shells.

Military judge Liang Kai saw that there were only a few dozen people left by the general, and most of them were scholars, so he said to Gao Jie: "General, we should advance, meet with the musket soldiers, or retreat and meet with the artillery soldiers.

Now, our army has been divided into two parts, and may be taken advantage of by Jiannu.”

Gao Jie pulled out his long sword and smiled, and said to Liang Kai: "Are you a civil servant?"

Liang Kai was stunned for a moment, and immediately pulled out his long sword and said, "It's a civil servant, but when it comes to killing the enemy, ordinary generals are not as good as me."

As Liang Kai pulled out the long sword, the other clerks also put away their pens and ink, and pulled out the long sword from their waists. Some even prepared muskets.

There is basically no difference between literati and military people in Lantian County.

They wear Confucian robe and become scholars, and they become martial artists when they wear swords.

Gao Jie looked at the right wing of the enemy who had not yet moved and whispered: "You can't let me take off all of them, so you will go out, right?"

Before he finished speaking, a group of people rushed over from behind the slope on the right wing. It was the Jianzhou cavalry.

"Build a line of defense!"

Liang Kai shouted, and a group of clerks stood in front of Gao Jie and faced the cavalry.

Gao Jie laughed and said, "We're finally out."

Liang Kai shouted: "Please retreat quickly, General."

Seeing the cavalrymen galloping and charging over like a sea of ​​cavalry, Gao Jie smiled and said, "What are you going to retreat? Let's take a closer look at the last glory of the Jianzhou cavalry today."

Liang Kai said anxiously: "General, don't take risks!"

Gao Jie pulled out his long sword and said to Liang Kai: "If I leave, Jiannu will not continue to charge. Order and fire!"

Liang Kai's face turned pale, but he still shook the flag of the cannon fire.

Just as the first moment the flag was shaking, smoke filled the artillery positions, and the shells that had been prepared long ago flew into the sky densely.

The shells did not fly fast and did not shoot far enough. As they watched them fly lightly above the depression between the two hills, they exploded with a bang.

There were no splashes, no strong fire, only countless sparks staggered down.

When Liang Kai saw this, he was shocked and said to his companion: "Phosphorus bombs cover their mouths and noses."

Everyone hurriedly took out a cloth towel and tied it to their mouths and noses, and focused on the valley where the enemy was growing more and more.

The valley area is very unfavorable for the cavalry. When going down the mountain to charge, the horse should not be too fast, otherwise it will fall into the valley. After entering the valley, the horses will have to adjust their speed and will have a brief pause in the valley.

In the sun, the phosphorus fire was almost invisible, and it just shakingly covered the entire valley.

A phosphorus fire fell, and Akdun swept away the sword. The flame seemed to suddenly become spiritual. It avoided his long sword and continued to fall. As it fell on the shoulder, Akdun urged the war horse and slapped the flame casually.

After his horse ran up, Akdun suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm, and then he realized that his palm was actually burning.

The turmeric oil was so difficult to extinguish. Akdun clamped his ignited hand under his arm and rubbed it back and forth twice... Then, he found that his shoulders were also on fire.

A phosphorus fire fell on the neck of the war horse. The war horse was in pain and neighed loudly, then rushed forward. Akdun, who was trying to put out the fire, was caught off guard and fell off the war horse.

Fortunately, the war horse did not run very quickly. Akdun, who had fallen off the horse, rolled on the ground, trying to destroy the flames on his body. However, the flames appeared again in the fire where the body was pressed over.

This time, he saw clearly that the flame was actually white.

The fire rains were constantly falling from the sky, and the warriors in Jianzhou didn't care at first. When they found that this seemingly weak flame could not be extinguished, sucked, beaten, and buried, the originally neat formation finally began to scatter.

The uncontrolled war horse was injured and uncontrollable, carrying the master's thorns and rushing outward, relying on instinct to avoid disasters.

The artillery positions were still firing shells into the sky, so in a short time, the sky was covered by fire and rain.

Liang Kai sighed. He had seen the power of the Phosphorus bomb, but he didn't know the consequences of being shrouded by the rain of fire.

Gao Jie looked at the Jiannu cavalry who was already in chaos on the opposite side, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said to Liang Kai: "We only have five hundred such ammunition, all of which are consumed here."

Liang Kai looked at Gao Jie licking his lips and said carefully: "The county magistrate said that this thing should not be used lightly."

Gao Jie sneered: "Aren't I using it now? I originally wanted to use all the power of Lantian City to hit Jiannu hard, so that they could not invade us.

Who knows that the county magistrate is not allowed, and everyone is not allowed!

But my war goal must be achieved. Since there is a phosphorus bomb that can be used, why should I let my subordinates fight Jiannu and kill him?

In this battle, we must determine who is the king on the grassland!

I want all the Mongolian princes and princes kneel at my feet and dare not rely on Jiannu!"

Liang Kai said: "It's fine to use it here, but I'm afraid that the general will use it easily. I use it anywhere. I suggest you. When using this thing in the future, please ask the general to achieve everyone's wishes."

Gao Jie said lightly: "The five hundred pieces are all exhausted. Even if I want to use them, I have no use."

Seeing that Gao Jie was unhappy, Liang Kai shut up his mouth.

Akdun was sitting in the flames at this time, and there was no sign of life. The flames did not let him go because his life disappeared, and continued to burn his body sizzlingly.

My neck was burned, my head fell to the ground and continued to burn.

There were not many cavalrymen who escaped by luck. After the cavalry leader Bluzhan felt that after shooting out the whistleblow of their own escape, his body was also lit by the rain of fire. When the armor caught fire, he threw away the armor. When the flesh caught fire, he cut off the flesh caught fire.

He staggered out of the range of the fire rain against a fire shield. He was already scarred and blood was flowing.

As Manchurian Gushan Ezhen, he has participated in countless wars in his life, and even at the most dangerous times, he is not as one percent.

He could hear the retreat horns appearing in the Central Military Office. Seeing the layers of burning corpses of people and horses in the valley, Bruzhan shouted to the sky and cut off his neck, and fell head-on on the grass.

The burning of white phosphorus is naturally toxic, not just toxic, but some people even suck the phosphorus fire in while breathing.

White smoke rolled in the valley, and at first there were people howling, and soon there was only the sizzling sound of flames burning there.

Yuetuo stood on the low mountain and was covered in cold shape.

Three thousand Jianzhou cavalry, whom he had high hopes, were destroyed in this way.

It was not that he did not consider the strength of the Lantian Army, but that he carefully arranged the battlefield. For this reason, in the early stage of the war, he did not hesitate to show his weakness to the enemy, just to lure Gao Jie's army to this preset battlefield.

In this hilly area, the lethality of the Lantian Army can be effectively reduced... But...

"Beller, let's go, Yunjuan's cavalry is coming."

Yuetuo's old partner Du Du glanced at the place where the white smoke filled, and whispered to Yuetuo.

Yue Tuo whispered: "Retreat and build a line of defense in the second bubble."

After looking at the place where the phosphorus fire was ravaged, Yuetuo went down the low mountain and walked halfway, but left the team and roared towards the clouds that had just turned from behind a valley.

He felt that he could not cope with that kind of vicious artillery, but he could not bear it anymore when facing the scene of Yun Juan massacre of his infantry.

Seeing a large group of white-armored soldiers turning toward him, Yun Juan shouted and threw all the grenades on his body out. His subordinates also imposed the grenades according to law. Before they could land on the ground and explode, they turned their horses and left.

Without the cover of muskets and cannons, Yun Juan did not arrogantly believe that the soldiers under his command were so strong that they could compete with Jianzhou white-armored soldiers.

Since the battle has been won, there are opportunities to kill the enemy, so there is no need to be strong at a disadvantage.

The two armies were a little far apart, and the grenades could not serve as the purpose of killing and destroying white-armored soldiers. The bursts of grenades could only serve as the purpose of delaying and delaying Yuetuo.

After the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, Yue Tuo stopped his horse's hooves and watched Yun Juan continue to chase and kill other defeated soldiers.

Dudu grabbed Yuetou's reins and said, "Let's go, Yunjuan is luring us to a place where their cannons can reach."

Yue Tuo roared: "We also have cannons!"

"Our cannon is not as good as the other party!"

Du Du gave an explanation randomly, and hurriedly left the battlefield with a shy knife that was difficult to sheath.

At the same time, his handsome flag was also taken away.

"Yue Tuo is dead!"

I don’t know who first discovered that Yue Tuo’s handsome flag was missing and started yelling.

At the same time, a heavy marching drum sounded under Gao Jie's handsome flag.

The musketeers who were originally carrying muskets like a forest immediately loaded guns on the muskets, divided into countless squads, and left the army and rushed towards the enemy like a tide.

At this time, the flames in the valley formed a scattered fire, and there was no longer a choking smell of phosphorus fire in the smoke. When the wind blew, an indescribable smell of barbecue spread.

Gao Jie remained as motionless as a mountain.

Liang Kai endured the constant surging annoyance and turned his head around.

The fire did not gradually go out until the evening, looking at the fire scene from afar, where only a white ashes remained.

Under the evening breeze, some white ashes swirled and headed eastward.
