The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation
Chapter 445 The entire army was wiped out
When the Divine Realm Army began to retreat, the Jin Army began to advance like a tiger descending from the mountain.
After finishing firing their muskets, the frontline soldiers quickly stopped and reloaded the gunpowder and steel balls.
At the same time, the soldiers in the back row continued to advance, aiming their loaded muskets forward and firing.
This tactic was used repeatedly, with the soldiers advancing while shooting, turning the retreat of the Divine Realm Army into a tragic scene of being hunted down by the Jin Army.
In the process, countless soldiers fell down and trampled on each other, and unfortunately died.
In later records of the Divine Realm, the Battle of Jinzhou was described as the most tragic defeat in the history of the Divine Realm.
When the Jin army suddenly used firearms, the outcome was decided.
In this battle, a total of eight national army corps and two local army corps from the Divine Realm participated in the battle, totaling nearly one million people.
After the battle, the Ninth Corps was completely wiped out, the Second, Third, Fifth and Sixth Corps were almost completely wiped out, and the Seventh and Eighth Corps also suffered more than half of their casualties.
Only the First Legion suffered relatively few casualties due to the raid, and they escorted Ling Ziyan and Yi Tian in a hasty retreat towards the realm of the gods.
In this national war, the Divine Realm Army suffered heavy losses, with a total loss of more than 700,000 troops.
In the final battle, the casualties reached as high as 500,000, and more than half of them were not killed in the battle, but unfortunately became prisoners of the Jin army.
The fate of these more than 200,000 captives was equally tragic. They were forced to repair the ruined cities of the Jin Dynasty after the war. They were hungry and under heavy labor. Their suffering was no different from dying in battle, and most of them died in endless torture.
Under the protection of the remnants of the army, Ling Ziyan survived numerous sieges and blockades, and after more than ten fierce battles, he finally retreated to the realm of the gods in a panic.
How could the Jin Kingdom miss this great opportunity to pursue? Hundreds of thousands of Jin troops pursued all the way, crossing the border between the two countries and deep into the territory of the Divine Realm to hunt down the enemy.
Their firearms corps chased from the border all the way to the realm of the gods, and finally caught up with the First Corps where Ling Ziyan and Yi Tian were, and launched a thrilling battle.
In this battle, Yi Tian unfortunately died in order to protect Ling Ziyan, while Ling Ziyan temporarily escaped under the desperate protection of the remnants and her whereabouts are unknown.
Of course, these are all things for later.
The camera goes back to the last day of the battle of Jinzhou Plain. When the news of the defeat of the Divine Realm Army reached Jinling Town via carrier pigeon, Wu Youqiang couldn't help but burst into tears.
Generals Wanyan Lie, Tian Ye and others were very surprised when they saw this. They didn't understand why Wu Youqiang suddenly cried.
Wan Yan Lie stepped forward and asked in a trembling voice: "General Wu, our army...did we lose the battle in the north?"
Wu Youqiang shook his head slightly, slowly handed the battle report in his hand to Wanyan Lie, then he looked up to the sky and sighed, his voice full of emotion: "The great thing has been accomplished!"
Wanyan Lie took the battle report with both hands, and read the few short lines carefully with a sharp gaze. His eyes could not help but become moist. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly looked up and saw that all the generals were looking at him with eager eyes.
He held up the battle report and said excitedly, "Victory! We have won a great victory in the northern battlefield. The Divine Realm Army has been completely annihilated. That's great!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally silent hall suddenly boiled over with cheers rising one after another. The Jin army generals danced with excitement and some even cried with joy.
Tian Ye also breathed a sigh of relief, and a heavy stone finally fell from his heart. His eyes flickered, as if thinking about something, and he asked softly: "Did the soldiers at the front send this victory report by carrier pigeon?"
Wu Youqiang was so excited when he heard this that he wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve and replied, "That's right!"
Tian Ye pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "The Divine Realm Army has suffered a heavy loss, or has been completely wiped out. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get a report of the battle. Even if there is, it will take a lot of human effort to get there, and it's hard to match the speed of a carrier pigeon."
Wu Youqiang looked puzzled, but Wanyan Lie asked directly: "General Tian, what do you mean by that? Just tell me!"
Tian Ye smiled calmly, his eyes fell on the battle report in Wan Yan Lie's hand, and he said leisurely: "We are the only ones who know the situation in the north, and the Jinling Hongxing Army is still in the dark. This is a godsend opportunity for our army to annihilate the enemy outside the city."
Upon hearing what Tian Ye said, Wu Youqiang and Wanyan Lie's eyes flashed, and they instantly understood what he meant, while the other generals were confused, wondering how the Hongxing army outside the city could be completely wiped out.
Seeing this, the two smiled at each other and said leisurely: "Have you ever thought about why our army was completely annihilated in the battle in the north?"
Although the good news is gratifying, it seems incredible when you think about it carefully.
The enemy and our side have equal forces, so why can we defeat the enemy and even annihilate them? The mystery behind this is truly intriguing.
Wanyan Lie frankly explained the reason: "The reason why our army was able to win this battle was entirely due to the secret weapon that the monarch had carefully developed earlier."
His words revealed endless pride and mystery.
"Secret weapon?" Upon hearing this, all the generals widened their eyes and looked shocked.
"It is the cannon and the musket!" Wanyan Lie continued, his eyes sparkling. "These two weapons are peerless weapons that were secretly developed and supervised by the monarch himself after the court mastered gunpowder. The reason why our army was able to defeat the Divine Realm Army on the northern battlefield was entirely due to their mighty power. Now, in Jinling Town, these two treasures are hidden!"
The Jin court's protection of firearms was so tight that even within the Jin army, except for the corps commander and deputy corps commander, most generals were unaware of their existence, and the soldiers knew nothing about them.
This arrangement is only to deal a fatal blow to the Divine Realm Army at the critical moment.
After hearing Wan Yan Lie's revelation, everyone looked at each other in shock, but also with a bit of anticipation.
Tian Ye took over the conversation at the right time: "Since the northern battlefield has won a great victory with the power of firearms, then we don't have to hide it anymore. It's time to let the firearms in Jinling Town see the light of day and show their true power."
After saying this, he smiled knowingly at Wu Youqiang and Wanyan Lie, and added: "Those soldiers thrown into prison will also have their place to use their skills!"
Tian Ye's judgment was accurate. The Hongxing Army and the imperial army outside Jinling Town did not know that the national army had suffered a heavy blow. The battle of Jinling dragged on for a long time, and the Jin army's stubborn defense made them feel anxious.
That night, Duan Tianyang, Yi Shuirou and several key military members discussed the matter in the central military tent.
Feng Sheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "According to the urgent report, the princess and Lord Yi have personally led the main force of the national army to approach Jinzhou. The Jin army has also deployed its troops on the Jinzhou Plain, obviously wanting to fight our army here. If we can rush to help in time and launch a sudden attack behind the enemy, we will win! However, the current situation is worrying. We are trapped by the strong city of Jinling and can't move forward. This good opportunity may be missed, which is a pity!"
After he finished speaking, there was silence in the tent, and everyone knew what was going on.
Yi Shuirou opened her red lips and asked, "General Feng, do you have any clever ideas to break the impasse?"
