Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

Xiong Hui nodded: "Not yet."

Su Xia thought for a moment, focused her eyes on the map near Haizhou City, and said, "It seems that Liu Yanqing hasn't realized yet that he is falling into an invisible web."

In front of them, Su Xiajun blocked their way like a god of war, and behind them, Gao Qiu stared at them covetously.

Su Xia has already asked her subordinates to send three letters of persuasion to surrender.

A letter made Liu Yanqing shudder.

Su Xia unscrupulously made Liu Yanqing receive three letters of surrender in his marching tent. How could he not be frightened?

He is from the Western Army, not the Central Forbidden Army. Now, the current Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng is following him.

Make him a little wobbly.

After all, he was a minister of the Song Dynasty. Forget it, he closed his eyes and was thinking hard about something. In the blink of an eye, he burned the surrender letter Su Xia gave him.

Outside the door, Bi Sheng barged in: "Mr. Liu, when will the front camp of the army attack?"

As Bi Sheng spoke, his eyes suddenly focused on the piece of paper Liu Yanqing had burned.

Liu Yanqing also noticed this and was stunned for a moment, but he was experienced and quickly recovered: "The army will attack immediately to attack Haizhou, and the Iron Armored Army will attack."

"Master Liu, the commander-in-chief (referring to Gao Qiu) has ordered that all city defenses outside Haizhou City be wiped out within three days."

Liu Yanqing nodded quickly: "I will obey the military order."

"Mr. Liu, you..."

The other party's eyes suddenly glanced at the oil lamp.

When he was about to answer, a young general walked in front of the door: "Deputy Commander, the Iron Armored Army is ready to set off."

The person who came was none other than Yanqing's son Liu Guangshi, who later became a famous anti-Jin general in the Southern Song Dynasty, one of the "Four Generals of Zhongxing", and the second son of Zhenhai Jiedushi Liu Yanqing.

At this time, Liu Guangshi was just twenty years old, when his father was serving in the army.

Seeing that Liu Yanqing had not paid attention, Liu Guangshi saw that the Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng was also here, and he did not hesitate to say, "Father, the Iron Armored Army...,,,,,,,"

Bi Sheng on the side quickly asked: "Who is this?"

"Liu Guangshi, the dog, is the commander of the Iron Armored Army."

Bi Shengrao looked at the father and son with interest, and urged: "Master Liu, are you about to attack?"

.......

Haizhou's former enemy camp.

Su Xia's National Protectorate Army is constantly making preparations for the war.

The difficult question before him was whether to fight for real or to fake it.

The opinions of Xiong Hui, Lin Chong and others were that they should just pretend to fight and let Liu Yanqing know how powerful he is.

But Su Xia objected: "If you want to hurt the Western Army and promote peace through war, Xiong Hui, you immediately arrange for people to spread rumors, saying that Gao Qiu's food and grass are not unified between the Western Army and the Forbidden Army."

"I'll make arrangements right away."

Xiong Hui instantly understood what Su Xia meant. This was psychological warfare.

If the Western Army didn't know how powerful Su Xia's National Guard Army was, then the Western Army's hard press against Gao Qiu would naturally turn into a fierce attack on itself.

"Zeng Keda, do you know the Iron Armored Army of the Western Army?"

"Sir, the Iron Armored Army of the Western Army is commanded by Liu Guangshi, the son of Liu Yanqing. The total army is 5000 people and is heavily armored. It was the absolute main force of the Western Army against Xixia in the past. This time the imperial court will use the Iron Armored Army of the Western Army to If the army is mobilized, our cavalry and infantry may only be able to fight with the artillery of the Lingzhen Artillery Corps."

"What you say makes sense, General Qin Ming. You immediately lead your troops to fight against the Western Army. Remember, we can fight with them, but our troops cannot be injured. We can fight and retreat. Once I order the troops to withdraw, we will immediately We can do it by withdrawing our troops."

Qin Ming cupped his hands and said: "I will obey the general's order." After saying this, Qin Ming hurriedly led the army away.

Zeng Keda on the side was a little aggrieved. After all, he was Su Xia who surrendered together with Qin Ming. He came up with the idea himself. Why did he let Qin Ming go when he sent troops?

Liu Guangshi's armored army progressed very quickly. In less than a day, they had already arrived outside Haizhou City.

When the two armies faced each other, Liu Guangshi's armored army was lined up in large characters.

Qin Ming, who was unfamiliar with fighting, went directly to the battle and picked off two generals of Liu Guangshi's armored army.

Seeing the rise of Qin and Ming's mace attacks, the Western Army suffered a loss.

Liu Guangshi was helpless, so he stepped forward with his gun and fought Qin Ming for forty rounds.

This Qin Ming got more and more effective as he did it. Although Liu Guangshi was very skilled, Qin Ming was experienced and experienced. Slowly, Qin Ming gained the upper hand.

In the fog, Liu Yanqing, the deputy commander of the rebel army who came from the rear army, was afraid that his son would be lost, so he immediately ordered the armored army to attack at full speed without stopping.

Originally, the Iron Armored Army had to have a special offensive formation, but as soon as the military order was blown, the army naturally moved out.

See the opponent's entire army attack.

Standing on the city wall, Su Xia looked at the endless army. It was roughly estimated that tens of thousands of people would attack. Once the Western Army was determined to attack and got involved in Qin and Ming's ranks, the artillery would not be able to show off its power and would lose control. Control of the formation.

"Mingjin, withdraw troops."

When Qin Ming saw this, he immediately opened a loophole and led his troops to retreat.

"Ling Zhen, artillery attack."

On the Haizhou city wall, fifty powerful cannons have been secretly mounted on the city wall.

In order to cover the army's attack, heavy firepower had been deployed here. According to the planned shooting, the shooting crews immediately launched artillery fire on the pursuing Western army.

"Boom boom boom."

However, although the Iron Armored Army of the Western Army did not attack very quickly due to their heavy armor, which allowed Qin and Ming's army to escape, a small number of them were still chased by the Western Army and were divided and devoured.

Battlefield furnace.

Qin Ming and other troops who ran into the city survived, but the army outside the city suffered a tragic fate.

Those Xiliang men who came from the northwest border were like wolves and tigers. They were heavily armored and brutally killed the soldiers of Qin and Ming Dynasty under the city gate.

And at close range, artillery is also given the opportunity to exert its power.

Looking at the sacrificed soldiers below the city, Su Xia slapped the city wall: "Artillery, hit me hard and knock out all the armored soldiers of the Western Army."

Artillery is known as the God of War. The rigorously trained artillerymen have a clear division of labor and move quickly. The artillerymen fired the shells out of the cannons one after another, while the soldiers on the city wall used loose shells to load the golden wheels. On the artillery.

This is Ling Zhen's latest improved Golden Wheel Cannon. It combines the large-caliber cannons of the past into multiple cannonballs. Although the cannonballs cannot hit far, they can explode in the air when placed on the city wall, which is somewhat similar to today's cloud explosions. Bullet, extremely powerful!

The attacking Western Army suffered heavy casualties on the walls of Haizhou City.

Liu Yanqing had never seen this scene before. His Western Army had always been invincible. It took him a long time to react after being stunned: "Retreat, retreat quickly."

If you look down from the sky, you will see thick smoke billowing everywhere outside Haizhou City, artillery fire blazing into the sky, war horses and corpses piled up all over the city wall, and howling everywhere. The scene is extremely tragic!
