However, before Duan Fengnian's laughter stopped, he suddenly heard a continuous loud noise behind him, but dozens of artillery shells exploded in the formation. The formation was so dense that the lethality of the artillery fire almost reached the extreme. Every time a shell exploded, it was Flowers bloom all over the ground.
Within a few feet, all the men and horses were smashed to pieces, and the powerful shock wave even extended to a range of ten feet. After the war horses were frightened, they ran away and trampled the soldiers who were knocked to the ground into a pulp!
As rounds of artillery fire struck, tens of thousands of people and horses were all thrown into chaos, and the originally tight formation instantly collapsed.
As the artillery fire gradually extended back, Li Qiu and the others also launched a fierce attack. The Langya army was in chaos and could not resist it at all. They rushed to pieces in an instant. Tens of thousands of people abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in all directions...
However, Zhang Mingyuan completed the construction of the artillery position on Guangtou Mountain and was ordered to open fire. They were only a few hundred steps away from the Langya Army, which was the best distance for artillery fire!
As for the artillery fire in the city, it only served as a cover, making the Langya army confused as to where the artillery shells were coming from?
They haven't figured it out yet, and they thought it was a new type of artillery that was suddenly mobilized in Wolong City.
The artillery in Guangtou Mountain was hidden behind the mountain, and the Langya Army could not see the flames from the muzzle at all, because the artillery had curved firepower, and the distance was so close and the elevation angle was still high...
The Yanyun Army Artillery Battalion only had fifty large-caliber artillery pieces in total. Originally, Zhang Mingyuan only asked for twenty, but Xiao Chen gave him forty. Forty artillery pieces fired together, and the coverage of the artillery fire was quite impressive!
The saddest thing is that Duan Fengnian's formation is too dense, and only four or five rounds of artillery fire have caused thousands of casualties!
Of course, not many people were killed directly by the explosion, but more were trampled, squeezed, and crushed to death by their own horses and brothers...
Originally, Zhang Mingyuan's intention in launching the artillery bombardment was to disrupt the local formation, allowing Li Qiu and the others to take advantage of the chaos to rush in, cover the retreat of the infantry phalanx, and then quickly leave the battlefield and retreat from the direction of Niutoushan.
When the Langya army pursues the troops, Niutoushan's muskets and bows can launch a surprise attack from behind, thereby attracting the opponent's attention and covering Li Qiu and the others' safe retreat into the city.
But plans never change quickly. No one expected that Zhang Mingyuan's fierce bombardment would directly stun the Langya Army, so that the entire army was defeated, and even their own camp was overrun!
if so……
Before Zhang Mingyuan could ask for instructions, the lights at the top of the city were lowered. He was ordered to continue extending his firepower, and he rushed to Duan Fengnian's camp to fight me.
Hit as far as you can, hit as hard as you can, even if it means knocking out all forty cannons, you won't hesitate!
He also ordered Xue Guanshan's troops to abandon the completed positions and attack with the entire army immediately! The infantry phalanx that was about to withdraw also dropped their ballista shields and charged directly. The orders were simple and rude, just keep charging forward and don't stop until you are exhausted!
But Xiao Chen also saw that this was an excellent counterattack opportunity. The opportunity was fleeting and must be grasped tightly.
Yan Yun ordered the 50,000 Yan Yun troops in the city who had been recharging their strength for several days to immediately assemble and dispatch all of them. He ordered Zhang Heng to stay behind while he personally led his brothers to attack.
On top of Pegasus, he raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, success or failure depends on this. Charge with me! Kill!"
The brothers of Yan Yunjun charged very fiercely, but to be honest, they couldn't kill many enemies because Li Qiu, Xiao Ye, Ouyang Yunyi and the others charged even harder. They were all charging so hard now. Went into Duan Fengnian's camp.
Apart from corpses and wounded soldiers, there were also countless surrendered soldiers kneeling on the ground with their hands raised...
Once the morale of the army is broken, it will be like a mountain falling, and it will never be recovered.
Duan Fengnian lamented when he saw that the situation was over and had to retreat. Fortunately, Yibiao's soldiers and two masters, Nangong Wuhua and Xiao Xinghan, fought to the death to protect him, so they were not captured alive by the Zhou soldiers who had already rushed forward.
After running for dozens of miles, you can still hear the cry of killing coming from behind. Fortunately, there is Shazhou Pass in front. If you clean up the remaining troops here and rely on the city gate, you can still block the Zhou soldiers.
When he ran to the city, he saw that the city gate was closed and the city was heavily guarded. Duan Fengnian felt relieved that Murong Yumen was quite good at managing the army...
Murong Yumen was neatly dressed and stood at the top of the city, shouting loudly and asking, "Who is coming?"
"Damn it, Murong Yumen, are you blind? Can't you see that this is the prince? Hurry up and open the door!" The subordinates shouted angrily in unison, scolding Murong Yumen for being blind.
"What prince? The prince is on the front lines charging the city, how can he come back?" Murong Yumen said with a smile, "This must be a spy from the Wolong Army disguised as a spy! Hehe, a shameless person, so bold, he actually dared to I am playing tricks under my nose? How long will it take to avoid death? Come on, shoot me an arrow!"
With an order, bows, crossbows and muskets were fired from the top of the city, leaving Duan Fengnian and the others completely confused and looking for teeth everywhere on the ground!
After hundreds of people were killed and injured, he finally realized, Damn it, Murong Yumen, did he rebel?
"My lord, don't panic, wait until someone goes up to take his head!" Xiao Xinghan jumped up from his horse and rushed towards the city like a big bird!
The soldiers at the top of the city shot bows and arrows, but he reached out and gently deflected them away.
"How dare the traitor? Tie Kunlun is here!" A tall man next to Murong Yumen roared, grabbed a long spear, and swept upwards. The wind whistled and the force was heavy.
Xiao Xinghan couldn't help being surprised when he heard Tie Kunlun's name. Didn't this kid follow Xiao Chen?
Why is he here?
In just such a moment of hesitation, the iron gun was swept to his feet. In his busy schedule, he lightly tapped the gun barrel and flew up again.
Suddenly, he saw a tough young officer flashing out from behind Murong Yumen. He couldn't help but raise his musket and fire randomly. However, this musket fired continuously...
In shock, he hurriedly used the Thousand-jin Falling Movement, and suddenly fell down. Only then could he avoid the bullets, and ran to Duan Fengnian without looking back, and jumped onto his horse.
"What?" Duan Fengnian was still confused. "That man is Tie Kunlun, Xiao Chen's subordinate. There may be Yanyun Army in this city, let's go around it!" Xiao Xinghan said solemnly.
"Xiao Chen?" Duan Fengnian and others were shocked when they heard this, why the hell is this kid here!
Without thinking about it carefully, he quickly led the remaining soldiers to avoid the bows and arrows at the top of the city and went around the edge of the city.
"Who is that person? He is so powerful!" Murong Yumen looked at Xiao Xinghan's back with lingering fear.
"Haha, Xiao Xinghan, the chief helmsman of Tianxuanhui!" Tie Kunlun laughed, "My martial arts skills are ten times better than mine. If Haibo hadn't fired your shot in time, I might have died in his hands right now!"
"Why does this person look like a ghost?" Li Haibo was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He watched helplessly as he flew up at a speed that was dizzying. But just now he was in mid-air and only a few feet away. Such a precise shooting technique couldn't even hit him?
"He is much more powerful than ghosts." Tie Kunlun said, "He is also more suspicious than ghosts. He probably thought that boss Xiao Ye and the others were here, so he didn't dare to take action...
