From Chief to Ball

The drums of war were beating rapidly, and the sword and shield fighters in the new army lined up and moved quickly towards the gap, followed by the grenadiers who were ready with matchlocks and Tao Lei.

The rest of the new army followed behind the eight chariots, and kept moving forward, waiting for the sword and shield soldiers to make the Xirong people's line chaotic.

The feathered arrows of the Xirong people continuously hit the large shields of the sword and shield soldiers, making a rattling sound. The sword and shield soldiers ran forward in short steps, and some people were hit by arrows. Continue to pick up the leather shield and move forward.

Counting the chariots behind, there were only a little more than 200 people charging in the center line. The leader of the Xirong people was surprised that Chen Jian discovered the flaws in his army formation so quickly, but he dismissed the sword and shield soldiers who came on the attack Gu.

What he was afraid of were only those woods that could breathe out clouds, not these strong-looking and tall people carrying daggers and wooden shields.

As for the chariot at the back, he felt that he could defend it as long as the guards around him stood together densely and stabbed the horses to death with spears.As long as there is no wooden cannon, the leader of Xirong is confident that he can defend until the two wings of Xia E's coalition collapse.

After another round of feather arrows was shot, the leader of Xirong decisively issued an order: the archers withdrew from both sides, and the rest of the people gathered together, shoulder to shoulder, to withstand the impact of Xia E's coalition forces.

The archers quickly withdrew to both sides, and the originally sparse formation became extremely dense, and the stone spears extended outward like a jungle.

Without the blocking of the archers, the sword and shield soldiers advanced faster. When they approached forty steps, the Xirong people in the front row held their spears and stone axes tightly. Their palms were full of sweat. They knew the distance of forty steps. It was the time when the impact was the strongest. These people holding swords and shields and those holding strange stone balls behind them were all strong and tall, and the impact must have been extremely terrifying.

However, what they didn't expect was that Xiacheng's new army suddenly stopped when they approached thirty steps away, and did not charge immediately.

This is the most dangerous time. If the Xirong people resolutely launch a countercharge, those grenadiers will have no chance to throw Tao Lei.

Chen Jian's palms were also sweating on the chariot. He tried his best to mobilize the Xirong people in everything before, revealing a fighter opportunity, but whether the fighter opportunity can be grasped is the key to this victory.

Probably because of the deterrence of the chariots, these Xirong people did not fight back, but formed a dense formation, in case they were evacuated during the counter charge and were defeated by the chariots.

With a distance of thirty steps, it only takes six or seven seconds to launch a charge, and the details of one breath can determine the outcome.

Those grenadier corporals who stopped immediately took out their matchlocks, and a group of five lined up under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, and at the same time ignited the stone mine taolei or gunpowder pack in their hands.

Amidst the sound of burning, the soldiers nervously looked at the burning fuze. Having seen the horror of this thing with their own eyes, they were worried that it would explode in their hands.

The corporals were very nervous, and when the twigs were half burned, they shouted, and all of them threw various gunpowder packs and Tao Leis at the dense formation of the Xirong people at the same time.

Those Xirong people wondered why the enemy on the opposite side did not charge, and then saw more than 60 black stones flying above their heads, with white smoke floating on them, making a squeaky sound.

Some people didn't know what it was, but some people subconsciously thought of the terrifying monster that could erupt lightning and harvest life before, and covered their heads with a scream.

boom……

bang bang...

Explosive weapons are perfect for making an appearance in this era, and these ridiculous taurees with low explosive power have an otherworldly effect in a dense army formation.

Black smoke, flying stone flakes, flaming gunpowder, dazzling flashes... almost instantly made more than 200 Xirong people lose their fighting power.

The moment the explosion sounded, the grenadiers drew out their daggers and charged.

Before the gunpowder smoke cleared, Chen Jian also knocked on the drums of the chariots. The eight chariots advanced side by side, and the infantry followed the chariots, rushing towards the position where the leader of the Xirong people was.

Although the Xirong army formation on the right was afraid of those terrible weapons, they also knew that the leader was there, and immediately turned to support the leader.

Langpi, who had been cruising in the central army, watched the Xirong people in the distance give up their formation and went to the center leader to support them with all their strength, knowing that they must not let these people support them before Chen Jian defeated the leader of Xirong.

The riders lined up according to his order, held their spears backwards, and rushed towards the side of the Xirong people who had lost their formation and tried to support them.

E Yue, on the left wing of the Xia E coalition army, was shocked by these weapons that he had never seen before, thinking of the rumors about thunder and lightning in the battle of Yangguan told by E Strider, but it was far less shocking than what he saw with his own eyes.

Although he didn't know what those weapons were at this time, he knew that the opportunity to fight was fleeting. Even if Chen Jian didn't succeed in attacking, his people could still break through the chaotic Xirong people from the left.

The Xiacheng army on the right had the same idea. There was no need for Chen Jian to say anything else. They launched an attack, dragged down the two wings, and prevented these Xirong people from supporting the central army.

The whole battlefield became a mess because of that burst of thunder. Everyone knew that the key to the victory of this battle was the Chinese army, and it was just before Chen Jian could defeat the Xirong leader's guards before the Xirong people came back to help.

The army whose will was destroyed by the gunpowder explosion has collapsed, and the originally dense formation was blasted, creating an excellent opportunity for the impact of the chariots. The following infantry reaped the trembling infantry separated by the chariots.

There are more than 200 personal guards left by the leader of Xirong. They are all warriors of their tribe. Many of them are veterans who have fought for several years. Even though they are afraid of the impact of the chariot, they still have not forgotten their oath: as long as they live , it is necessary to guard the leader.

200 people surrounded the leader in the center, formed a circle, raised wooden shields, and kept their oath firmly.

Someone blew a desolate horn, as if a pack of wolves were asking for help, which was asking the Xirong people to retreat with all their strength to protect the leader.

Even though they knew that blowing such a horn at this time would cause the whole line to collapse, they couldn't care less about the leader.

A chariot that was rushing too fast might be eager for meritorious service, or the horse could not stop crazily and hit the wall formed by the group of Xirong people.

The chariot pulled by four horses was extremely heavy, and the copper cone protruding from the wheel hub would die if touched, and the collapsed horse's hoof could directly explode a person's belly.

But they still stood up bravely, using their chests, stone spears, hands and even their bodies to block the speeding chariot.

At this moment, they forgot their wives and children, and only remembered the vow they had made when they cut their arms.

Three people were hit by horses, two people were trampled to death, one person was stabbed to death by the right side of the car, and several others were injured.

But in the end, Stone Spear stopped the galloping chariot, and the horses lay down on the ground and wailed endlessly. The leader was safe and sound behind the human wall.

But instead of applause, these courage and wills greeted with a muffled sound and a flickering fire.

Chapter 92 Homecoming

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, Chen Jian cut off the heads of the leader of Xirong and yesterday's envoy, and decorated them on his chariot. Their faces were so black that they could not be seen clearly.

In the final battle, Chen Jian did not appreciate the courage of the Xirong people, but crushed them mercilessly.Faced with these lamentable courage, Xiacheng people chose to use two rounds of Tao Lei to praise.

Without these weird weapons, with the help of more than 200 fearless personal guards, the Xirong people might be able to survive until the two wings retreat.In that case, even if they fail, they will not be defeated so neatly, and Xia E's coalition forces will have to pay a greater price.

It is not the first time that gunpowder capable of breathing lightning clouds has been used on the battlefield, but it is the first time that it has been used on the battlefield of thousands of people.There are millet, people from Acropolis, people from Echeng, and people from Xirong.

They have seen with their own eyes that gunpowder can no longer exist silently, and it will become a symbol of Xiacheng together with wheat, cattle plowing, ridge farming, numerals, characters, drama, kites, water conservancy and so on.

Gunpowder has no threshold, just like a stirrup, so simple, yet so complicated, it affects the historical process of the world.

The bronze craftsmanship accumulated in the slave era, and the technology that can make the chime bells of Marquis Yi of Zeng can completely cast artillery and large-caliber smoothbore guns.With Chen Jian's secret influence, maybe there is no need to take too many crooked paths.

Chen Jian doesn't know what kind of impact it will have on the world after releasing this monster, but it will definitely be more interesting than the natural process, with more accidents and surprises.

Relying on the Xirong people's ignorance of gunpowder, Chen Jian mobilized the Xirong people, and finally tore through the defense line of the Xirong people with chariots, and established the victory of winning more with less.

The leader was killed, and the horn of protection sounded before he was killed doomed the failure of the Xirong people, and it was a big defeat, because they had no cavalry and no chariots. After losing their organization and formation, the infantry could only be reduced to high-speed maneuvering The fate of the massacre of arms.

After the breakthrough in the center, the cavalry and chariot soldiers rushed towards the rear of the Xirong people, quickly disintegrating the formation of the Xirong people, and the Xirong people fled all over the mountains and plains.

Chen Jian drove the chariot and stuck the head of the leader of Xirong on the long spear, cheering and worshiping wherever he went.Even the soldiers of E City followed the soldiers of Xia City and shouted Wan Sheng.Chen Jian fulfilled his promise and led them to victory. He could go home in a month, and with his slaves and victory, he competed among warriors in Xiacheng's stadium.

Everyone knew that Xia Cheng was the main force in winning this time. The number of soldiers in E City was only [-] less than Xia Cheng's, but the results were far inferior to Xia Cheng's. Those terrifying weapons made Chen Jianjian even more mysterious. halo.

When Chen Jian invited E Yue to board the car to inspect together, E Yue naturally stood on Chen Jian's right, not the previous scene where they stood side by side in the car.

The Weicheng people who asked for help prostrated themselves on the ground, thanking the two cities for sending troops, respecting Chen Jian like a god, and couldn't help admiring them.
