Chapter 79 Bombardment of Puppet Swallows

In the fifth year of Zhengyong, it is the first day of April.

The pseudo-Yan Zheng Yuantao secretly assembled 20,000 dragon cavalry to raid the imperial capital!

On the same day, the Queen Mother was seriously ill, and all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital gathered in Cining Palace.

Three days later!

Hushan Pass!

This pass is located on the northeast side of the imperial capital. More than 300 years ago, it was the most powerful pass in the world.

The city wall is ten feet high, and is surrounded by mountains called Hushan. There is only a trail in the middle for people and horses to pass.

It is said that in the battle of Dayu's founding more than 300 years ago, there were immortals who died here.

After the First World War, the mountains and rivers of Hushan Pass changed, the earth cracked, and the surrounding mountains collapsed, turning into ravines and hills.

But Hushan Pass, located in the center of Hushan Mountain, has become an isolated city.

For more than three hundred years, this place has served as a transportation artery connecting the capital to Binzhou, Youzhou and other places, and has gradually become more prosperous.

The city is crowded with tourists and merchants, and outside the city there are also people gathering and vehicles and horses.

But today, a large number of rioters suddenly appeared in the northwest, running towards Hushan Pass in panic.

"Cavalry! So many cavalry!"

"Run! The Pseudo-Yan Cavalry is here!"

"Close the city gate quickly!"

"Open the city gate quickly! Let me in!"

"Ah...!"

"Tap...!"

Ten miles outside the city, a group of black and heavily armed cavalry were advancing rapidly.

The knight's armor is overall dark black, with faint python patterns on it.

The war horse under its crotch is eight feet tall, its fur is dark red, and it is extremely majestic.

This horse is the world-famous, invincible dragon-blooded horse in the North!

King Yan's personal soldiers, dragon and horse cavalry!

"Drive!"

Twenty thousand dragon cavalry, led by the cavalry commander Cheng De, ran at high speed.

"General!"

A ranger swept over from the side: "Hushan Pass was found ten miles ahead. People are evacuating towards Hushan Pass. The gate of Hushan Pass has been closed!"

"Hmph!"

Cheng De snorted coldly: "The prince's staff have already guessed this. Our mission today is to intimidate the capital. We don't need to worry about Hushan Pass and leave it to the follow-up infantry corps to deal with it."

"Send the order, all the cavalry will go around Hulao Pass, and they must arrive under the capital at noon the day after tomorrow!"

"No!"

The Rangers sent the order, and soon the formation of the entire cavalry unit changed slightly, turning into a diagonal arrow, passing from the south side of Hushan Pass and bypassing Hushan Pass.

at the same time.

On a hidden hill on the south side of Hushan Pass, the scout wore black leather armor and quickly walked through the dense jungle.

In the jungle clearing, groups of soldiers and horses, fully armed and prepared for a long time, had already appeared.

This group of soldiers all have young faces, and they are obviously new recruits who have recently joined the army.

They had knives on their waists, and what they carried on their backs were not bows and arrows, but spears.

What's strange is that in front of their position, there are rows of huge black cannons.

Red cannon!

Two hundred red-coat cannons are now all the inventory of the Ministry of Works.

Behind them is a carriage transporting red cannons. Boxes of cannonballs, gunpowder, and bullets are neatly arranged in the open space.

"Report...!"

"General!"

The scout quickly came to the two leaders and saluted: "General Chen, General Zhao, and the Puppet Yan Cavalry are ten miles away from Hushan Pass. They can pass by here in half an hour at most."

Zheng Yi has already changed the training methods of the Shenji Camp, which are all based on modern training methods from the past life.

The simplest military postures, weight-bearing running, cross-country running, etc., especially the military orders, have also been slightly modified.

This method can simplify the rules in the army and make it very convenient to issue orders.

Not only that, Zheng Yi also specifically ordered the palace dress supervisor to improve the military uniforms of the previous life, including the simplest trousers, tops, etc., for use in the army.

The color is black and green, which is the least likely to be found in the wild.

This style of clothing was not only welcomed by soldiers in the Shenji Battalion, but also by other military units and dignitaries in the capital who liked it very much and rushed to imitate it.

"Hahaha, it's just as your Majesty expected!"

Zhao Tieshan laughed and said: "The Pseudo-Yan cavalry used... blitzkrieg, yes! The blitzkrieg your Majesty said was to use cavalry to raid the capital, and go around the city at the rear as much as possible."

"The mountain roads here are wide and suitable for cavalry marching. This is our opportunity!"

Chen Hongxiu on the side asked: "Can we find out how many cavalry the Puppet Yan sent out? Are there any other troops behind them?"

"Back to the general, there are about 20,000 puppet Yan cavalry."

The scout replied: "There are indeed other troops of the Puppet Yan behind it, but they are very far away and they have just left Yanshan Pass!"

"It seems that this group of cavalry is the only one I am waiting to deal with this time."

Chen Hongxiu said: "Continue to investigate and keep abreast of the movements of the Puppet Yan Cavalry."

In another hidden mountain forest, Chen Wannian was listening to the reports from his men, nodded and said: "This general knows, you go and continue the investigation."

"No!"

The scout left, and the adjutant behind Chen Wannian suddenly said: "General, can we really win this battle?"

"There are more than 20,000 Pseudo-Yan cavalry. Shouldn't the most important thing we should do is stay in the capital and defend the city? Why did we come to the wilds?"

Another guerrilla also echoed: "Yes, General, although there are more than 30,000 people in the Forbidden Army now, most of them are recruits who have only been trained for a few months, and there are only more than 5,000 cavalry. How can they possibly compete with the puppet Yan's dragoons?" ?”

Chen Wannian shook his head and said: "You don't understand. His Majesty has a thunderbolt in his hand. It is said that this is a treasure of the Immortal Family. Any soldiers and horses will be blown to pieces under the bombardment of the thunderbolt."

When he said this, Chen Wannian's eyes were full of horror and shock.

More than a year ago, it was he who led the Shenji Battalion, which had only over a hundred people at the time, to raid Yujian Villa with hot air balloons and thunderbolts!

In the entire Yujian Villa, more than three thousand warriors were wiped out in one night.

Even most of Yujian Villa was blown to the ground!

After that battle, Chen Wannian had a deep understanding of the terror of Thunderbolt.

Unfortunately, he was later transferred from the Shenji Camp and became the commander of the Forbidden Army with greater power.

But I still have lingering fears about the power of Shenji Camp.

Especially during this expedition, when he saw that the simple baggage team behind the Shenji Camp had more than 500 people and more than 500 horse-drawn carriages transporting supplies, he knew that the Shenji Camp had mastered something more terrifying than thunderbolts. weapons.

"Thunderbolt?"

"Immortal treasure?"

"How is it possible..."

Chen Wannian shook his head and said, "You'll find out later."

"Remember to keep an eye on the cavalry and horses, and never frighten them!"

Although his adjutants were confused, they still said in unison: "No!"

Time passed quickly, and soon everyone felt the ground beneath their feet shaking.

A scout climbed up a tree and looked toward the northeast, and soon shouted: "The Pseudo Yan Cavalry is coming!"

Soon, as many soldiers could see, groups of cavalry wearing black armor appeared.

The flags of the Pseudo-Yan Army fluttered in the wind.

The leader is none other than Cheng De, who is known as the first commander in chief of the Yan region and a powerful master in the master realm!

"Coming!"

Chen Wannian recognized the appearance of the Pseudo-Yan cavalry at a glance, and immediately said: "Send the order, everyone hides!"

"No one can speak without my order."

"No!"

After the order was conveyed, Chen Wannian's imperial troops immediately retreated and hid in the mountains and forests. "Rumble..."

"Boom~!!"

Not long after, the ground shaking began to become apparent.

Groups of Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry passed by on the ground below their mountain. Smoke filled the sky and the ground shook.

Perhaps in order to compete for time, perhaps because he relied on the strength of his cavalry and horses, Cheng De just sent a small team of scouts to investigate the front.

The scouts did not find Chen Wannian and others hiding in the mountains on both sides, and they passed their ambush one by one.

There were many new soldiers in the Forbidden Army, and they were filled with fear when they heard the shaking on the ground.

Someone quietly raised his head and looked out, only to see groups of dragoons surging forward like waves.

These cavalrymen have solemn faces and fierce fighting spirit in their eyes. At first glance, they look like men who have experienced hundreds of battles.

Many people were even more frightened when they saw this military appearance.

Can these new recruits, who have only been trained for a few months, really defeat such a powerful force?

After a full stick of incense, more than 20,000 pseudo-Yan cavalry finally passed under them, leaving a trail of smoke and dust.

Many people breathed a long sigh of relief, and their eyes were full of light after the disaster.

“Are all, all gone?”

"What do we do now?"

"General? Do you still have to wait?"

"Keep waiting!"

Chen Wannian straightened up and looked in the direction where the Puppet Yan Cavalry left.

With his eyesight, he could only see a black dragon sweeping towards the distance.

At this moment, a dull and explosive roar in the distance suddenly rang in his ears.

"Boom~!"

Then, a series of explosions suddenly came from a distance.

"Boom boom boom boom...!"

The formation of the Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry, which was running wildly, suddenly panicked. Especially the cavalry at the front, many people subconsciously pulled the reins of the dragon horse, causing the dragon horse to leap high.

The next moment.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom...!!!!!"

In the neat formation of the Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry, there were hundreds of huge explosions and roars.

Groups of Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry companies were blown up, with blood, internal organs, and broken limbs flying everywhere.

"Herodus~!!!"

This was the first time for countless dragons and horses to hear such an explosion, and they were all frightened. Herod neighed and suddenly raised his body, flipping the cavalry on him to the ground, and then ran around aimlessly.

The originally neat cavalry formation of the Pseudo-Yan Cavalry immediately became extremely chaotic.

Some of the cavalrymen were running aimlessly, while others were lying on the ground and shouting loudly.

The first batch of red-coated cannons fired only two hundred shells, and the damage caused was not very strong.

The casualties were probably only seven or eight hundred people.

But this was the first time they had seen this unheard-of and unseen fighting method.

Especially Ryoma under his crotch, it was the first time he heard such a violent explosion and the shells that kept exploding in front of them.

Countless dragons and horses were frightened, causing the entire formation to become restless.

"Stabilize the formation!"

"Stabilize the formation quickly!"

"Team 7! Kill the horses and stop them!"

Cheng De is indeed a general who has experienced hundreds of battles, and he quickly found a way to deal with this environment.

That is to kill the frightened horses, stabilize the formation, and still have the strength to fight.

However, what greeted him was the second round of red cannon bombardment.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom...!!!!!"

The same explosion sounded again from their ears and in front of them.

The first bombing also had the function of proofreading the position.

The second bombing had already found its target, and two hundred shells landed steadily in the middle of the Puppet Yan Dragoon camp. They were blown apart and the center blossomed.

Another large number of broken limbs, mixed with blood, were flying in all directions.

At this moment, the battle-experienced Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry finally could no longer hold on.

They can accept fighting to the death with the enemy, and they can also accept fighting with the aliens who are suffering twice as much as themselves.

However, I absolutely can't stand this kind of environment where I can't see the enemy but am killed inexplicably.

Ancient armies would collapse when most of their casualties reached 30%.

The environment faced by the Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry today is even worse.

"Thunder! It's thunder!"

"Lei Gong is angry, retreat quickly! retreat quickly!"

"My legs! My legs, pull me out quickly...ah!"

The entire Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry formation finally became chaotic.

This kind of chaos could not be suppressed even if Cheng De and the soldiers around him personally took action.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...!!!"

With a flick of a finger, the third round of artillery shells fell again, and hundreds more Pseudo Yan Dragoons were killed.

At this moment, the entire Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry finally collapsed.

Countless war horses fled in all directions amid the successive bombings.

The dragoons at the rear of the formation turned around and ran away, evacuating the battlefield in fear.

The entire land was a mess.

Just when they thought they had escaped, a cold shout suddenly came from the peaks on both sides.

"Cum!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh~!"

The next moment, arrows rained down from the sky, knocking countless fleeing dragoons to the ground.

After three waves of arrows, Chen Wannian took the lead and rushed down the hillside.

"Kill!"

Countless imperial troops shouted slogans and fought their way out.

They were excited and full of fighting spirit. The sound of the previous bombing had already shaken their minds.

Immortal treasure!

Your Majesty, with the protection of the immortals, this battle will be won!

After rushing into the enemy group, the frightened Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry did not dare to fight at all. After a little resistance, they fled for their lives in a hurry, while Chen Wannian and others were also in hot pursuit.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Asking for a monthly ticket~
