Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Faced with the aggressive Iwami army, Dalei Yiwu decisively ordered the closure of the city gates and decided to use the cover of night to hold out and wait for the next day to fight a decisive battle with the enemy.

Twenty thousand Suobo soldiers were crowded in this small county town. If Ishikawa Taro launched an artillery attack recklessly, innocent civilians would probably be harmed.

However, despite this, Ishikawa Taro did not intend to let them go easily.

He handpicked 100 cavalry archers skilled in archery and they operated around the walls throughout the night.

These riders stood steadily about a hundred meters away from the city wall, accurately aiming at any target that dared to show its head on the wall and shooting an arrow through the enemy's throat.

As there was a distance difference of one hundred meters between the two sides, the bows and muskets in the hands of the Suo army were completely unable to reach the Iwami army, and they could only stare helplessly and worry!

During this long and terrifying night, shrill screams were heard from the city walls from time to time, making the soldiers of the Suo Defense Army feel fear and terror.

The next morning, after breakfast, the furious Dalei Yiwu ordered the city gates to be opened and quickly deployed his troops into battle formation.

Twenty thousand soldiers were arranged in twenty square formations in an orderly manner, which was magnificent.

Since the Suo army had already deployed outside the city gate, Ishikawa Taro was worried that once the artillery fire, the Suo army would retreat into the city like a turtle.

So he decisively decided not to use artillery in this battle, but to launch a real contest between warriors.

This time, the Suo army had to trek a long mountain road to reach the battlefield, so they did not bring cavalry to participate in the battle.

The Iwami Regiment had a thousand elite cavalrymen. They took the lead in the charge and launched a long-range, rapid, mobile attack around the Suo Army's formation.

Dali Yiwu issued a military order, asking his troops to hold up their shields and bravely charge forward in the rain of arrows shot by the cavalry.

Just as the vanguard of the Suo Army rushed towards the Iwami Regiment camp like a tiger, suddenly, a loud earth-shaking noise was heard, as if the whole earth was shaking!

It turned out that they had stepped into a carefully laid minefield! This minefield was hidden so deep that it was hard to guard against.

The 20,000 Suo Defense Army soldiers surged forward, and the soldiers in front suffered a fatal blow as soon as they stepped onto the front line.

The mine exploded instantly with incredible power, and blood, flesh and dust flew everywhere.

The soldiers in the front row fell to the ground one after another, while the soldiers in the back row were unaware and continued to push forward. Those who were injured by the mines but not dead could not escape in the chaos and could only watch themselves being mercilessly trampled to death by those who came after them.

The Zhou Defense Army paid a heavy price, using about one or two thousand lives, to barely pave this minefield full of death traps.

However, their nightmare was not over yet. When they were only a hundred meters away from the Iwami Regiment, the enemy's crossbowmen were already ready for battle.

I saw countless sharp arrows pouring down from the sky like raindrops, forming an impenetrable rain of arrows.

These crossbow arrows were extremely lethal, and the soldiers of the Zhou Defense Army had no time to dodge, and they fell to the ground in an instant.

Some were killed on the spot, while others were seriously injured and groaning in pain.

The Zhoufang army, which had been so aggressive, fell into extreme panic and chaos.

Under the supervision of Dalei Yiwu, Zhou Fang's army braved a hail of arrows and the threat of death and finally advanced to a distance of 70 meters.

This distance, like an extremely sharp sword, lies between the two sides, but it becomes the best stage for archers and musketeers to demonstrate their strength.

The musketeers of the Suo Army were like a group of tigers that had been dormant for a long time, waiting to release their amazing power at the command. They held their firearms tightly and aimed at the enemy in front of them with full concentration.

At this moment, the commander gave the order to open fire! In an instant, countless dazzling flames tore through the sky like lightning, and rushed straight towards the position of the Iwami Regiment.

These flames carried endless murderous intent and power, as if they were going to set the entire world on fire.

The soldiers of the Iwami Regiment had never expected to suffer such a fierce attack and were panicked and at a loss for what to do.

The bullets fired from the muskets were dense and ruthless, hitting them like a torrential rain.

The bullets hit their hard armor, making crisp and loud noises; when they hit their flesh and blood, they splashed out scarlet and dazzling blood.

In a blink of an eye, the Iwami Regiment fell into a huge predicament, with heavy casualties. The battlefield was filled with a strong and pungent smell of blood and billowing smoke, which made people suffocate and nauseate.

However, faced with such a brutal and fierce attack, the soldiers of the Iwami Regiment did not choose to retreat or escape. Instead, they gritted their teeth and persisted, continuing to fight without fear.

Without hesitation, they took out the grenades they had treasured for a long time. These grenades were secret weapons prepared by the Tiandi Army to resist long-range attacks from the enemy.

They gripped the grenades tightly and threw them with all their might. The grenades streaked across the sky like meteors, drawing wonderful arcs in the air, and then slammed into the attacking team of the Zhou Defense Army with the force of thunder.

In an instant, deafening explosions continued and resounded through the sky.

The grenade exploded in the middle of the Suoh army, turning into a brilliant sea of ​​fire.

The huge shock wave and flying shrapnel poured down like raindrops, mercilessly hitting the soldiers of the Zhou Defense Army, instantly defeating them and making them miserable.

In the blink of an eye, the Zhou Defense Army's position was engulfed in flames and billowing smoke. Miserable wails echoed over the battlefield, making people shudder.

Amid the chaos on the battlefield, Dalei Yiwu stared with wide eyes and watched in amazement as the front suddenly exploded into a sea of ​​fire.

At this moment, the Iwami army is no longer the same as before. They are equipped with advanced weapons and equipment, and demonstrate unparalleled combat effectiveness.

Faced with such a strong enemy, a deep despair surged in Yiwu's heart.

He clearly saw that the Zhou army suffered heavy casualties in this sudden and fierce attack. The already difficult battle situation took a sharp turn for the worse and became extremely dangerous and unfavorable.

In order to preserve the remaining manpower, Dali Yiwu acted decisively and issued an order to withdraw without hesitation.

He hoped to lead the remaining troops to retreat into the city, rest for a while, then regroup and plan a new round of counterattack.

However, just as the Suo Defense Army was preparing to retreat across the board, the commander of the Iwami Regiment, Ishikawa Taro, keenly noticed their movements.

In a flash, Ishikawa Taro immediately gave the order and asked the bugler to blow the charge horn.
