Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

Gao Qiu regarded war as setting off fireworks.

Treat combat as an exhibition match.

For the Forbidden Army, the so-called great weapons are crossbows, stone cannons, and trebuchets.

Gu Tingye, under the guidance of Gao Qiu, also led the elite Tianwu Army in a decisive battle with the Su Xia Army. However, Gu Tingye did not have the cover of the firearms battalion. In the artillery battle outside the city, the most elite Tianwu Army in the Song Dynasty was completely wiped out. The commander Gu Tingye Got blown up! The Imperial Army was severely weakened, so the Western Army came to fight.

Today is different from the past. At this moment, the Tokyo Forbidden Army Firearms Battalion, Crossbowmen, and a large number of crossbowmen are accompanying them to coordinate the battle!

Gao Qiu didn't believe that Su Xiajun standing on the city wall was indestructible!

With such a heavy firepower attack, I don't believe that Su Xiajun can stand on the city wall and fight back.

Indeed, as Gao Qiu expected, heavy equipment such as the firearms battalion, crossbowmen, and bed crossbows attacked together. Arrows rained down, and some arrows and crossbows even fired over the city wall and landed in the city.

The defending Su Xia Army and the officers and soldiers of the Joint Defense Corps withdrew from the crenel.

Here, Gao Qiu couldn't help but feel proud when he saw the Haizhou city wall being attacked by artillery shells and crossbows. He deliberately led several Forbidden Army generals to find Liu Yanqing and his son.

Seeing Gao Qiu approaching with a crowd of people, Liu Yanqing, the commander of the Western Army and the deputy commander of the rebel army, had no choice but to step forward and greet them proactively.

Pointing to the battlefield in the distance, he said with a proud face, "Tell me, two generals, what do you think? Our Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army is no worse than your Western Army in terms of combat effectiveness. Look at the momentum of this attack."

Liu Yanqing had no choice but to endure the anger in his chest; "Under the command of the general, the army is naturally overwhelming. With the Tokyo armored firearms battalion, crossbows, and trebuchets as cover for the attack, even the heavenly soldiers and generals cannot withstand it."

Gao Qiu heard Liu Yanqing's sarcasm, and knew that he was blaming the Western Army for not attacking the day before yesterday, with no baggage or artillery. Therefore, his expression was a little unhappy, and he was about to get angry.

Suddenly, Su Xia's artillery attack struck accurately, and almost all of the first round of more than 30 shells landed on the bed crossbow's attack position.

"Dong dong dong dong!"

The Song army with dozens of crossbows on the battlefield instantly collapsed and disappeared into thin air.

Seeing that there is no deviation in the landing point of your shell, you pay attention to the full-color Ling Zhen, and then give the order to the orderer: "Calibrate, move upward by five scales, and fire three rounds quickly."

Hong Tianlei Lingzhen looked into the distance. As an artillery calibrating hand, his job content was somewhat similar to that of today's observer, which played a role in guidance and observation.

After adjusting the position, in less than half a minute, dozens of artillery shells roared in at extremely fast speeds, directly hitting the Song Army's trebuchets and artillery positions.

Boom boom boom!

On the battlefield, the Song army was wailing all over the field.

The Song Army didn't know where the artillery of the National Protector Army came from, and they didn't even have a way to counterattack. But the National Protector Army was different. All the Song Army's baggage, the positions of the crossbowmen, and the gun positions were all clear!

Gao Qiu, Liu Yanqing and others stared at all this with their eyes wide open and their mouths agape.

"Their, where do their shells come from?"

"Okay,...it seems to be from the city." A lieutenant general muttered.

The artillery shells continued to hit, which triggered explosions on the Song Army's artillery position!

The explosion almost swallowed up the entire firearms camp, sparks flickered, and the fire almost reached the sky!

The explosion caused a series of explosions of gunpowder barrels and incendiary bombs, causing a fire. The scene was extremely tragic.

The shells fired by the artillery in the city fell on the position like long eyes, but what was frightening was that the attacks continued one after another.

A general with a face full of cannon fodder ran over and said, "Commander, the firearms battalion and the trebuchets... are all destroyed. The commander of the firearms battalion, Mr. Li Bao, also died in the explosion just now."

……

Before Gao Qiu could give another order, the Song army's artillery shells came one after another.

The Weiyuan artillery that destroyed the artillery position began to fire along the depth.

It was Liu Yanqing who reacted first: "Commander, the rebel army's artillery fire is too fierce, retreat quickly."

Gao Qiu was already out of his mind; "Yes,,, hurry up,,, retreat quickly"

At this moment, the attacking Imperial Guards were also shaken by the loud noise behind them. They stopped their attack and turned to look at their positions.

However, Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng was still forcing the soldier holding the ladder, "What are you looking at? Charge!"

The Imperial Guards had already rushed to the foot of the city tower.

Behind the jack gate in Haizhou City.

A door apart.

Su Xia pulled out her sword and looked at the generals in front of her: "General Lin, you know what to do, right?"

Lin Chong held the spear and said, "Sir, I will finally understand."

General Hua Rong, General Lin Chong, and General Zeng Keda listened to the order and opened the city gate. The horse army acted as the vanguard, and all the archers and crossbowmen were dispatched. Attack me with all your strength and kill the enemy invaders! We must annihilate the main force of the Forbidden Army and avenge the soldiers who died yesterday!

"Yes!"

The jack slowly opens.

Outside the gate of Haizhou City, the Song Army no longer has the cover to attack!

When the city gate was opened, the soldiers of the two armies faced each other, tit for tat. The cavalry who rushed out began to fire arrows. A hail of arrows fell, instantly shooting through more than a dozen soldiers!

Lin Chong looked stern, pressed hard, threw away a javelin, and threw it!

Dozens of tall and strong sergeants riding fast horses came from the city gate. The javelins were thrown into the air, drawing a cold light and arc in the air. With a "pop" sound, the sergeants who rushed at the front were stabbed. So cool!

"kill!"

Lin Chong's cavalry brigade, Hua Rong's seventh corps, Zeng Da and Qin Ming's two corps, more than [-] people came from all directions to kill!

The army was defeated like a mountain.

"Charge and kill."

Without the trebuchet, the imperial army covered by bows and crossbows instantly lost momentum and fled backwards!

The cavalry's attack, filled with grief and anger, was astonishing.

The three city gates attacked at the same time, and a burst of arrows were thrown from the city. The flying tiger general Bi Sheng was hit by a few more arrows in the chaos. Fortunately, Bi Sheng's armor was excellent and tough, and the weaving was fine enough. The swords were invulnerable, but the ordinary soldiers around them could not. Su Xiajun's armor-piercing arrows rotated very fast. In just one or two hours, most of the Song army's forbidden troops were killed or injured.

Lin Chong, who was eager for revenge, saw Bi Sheng at a glance. He quickly rode over and used his strength to fly away a Song Jun between the two. Bi Sheng was not to be outdone. He rushed forward but was hit in the shoulder by Lin Chong. His blood flowed. Like a spring, he almost died!

He was even more frightened and couldn't help but pulled his soldiers back to cover him.

Lin Chong opened his bow from left to right, stabbing the soldier's throat without any explanation.

Looking at Bi Sheng again, he had disappeared without a trace.

The National Defense Army chased for several miles.

The Forbidden Army, which suffered heavy losses, was able to escape under the cover of Liu Yanqing's armored Western Army. Seeing that the artillery barrier was lost, the Protectorate Army retreated after chasing for seven or eight miles.

A battle will determine the world!

Gao Qiu lost his troops and generals, and almost all the imperial troops in his army were lost.
