The battle is over.
Only half an hour.
Xu Xiang got Su Yang's order and quickly started cleaning the battlefield.
Other things can be discarded, but the three-eyed gun cannot fall on the battlefield!
If this was achieved by Ping An, not only would the Xishan army be wiped out, but it would even change the direction of the entire Jingnan campaign.
After the cleaning was completed, Xu Xiang immediately evacuated with his troops, met with Su Yang and fled directly back to Xishan.
Half an hour later, a group of cavalry came galloping over. The leader looked brave and resolute. He was the famous general Ping An!
Ping An frowned immediately when he smelled the smell of blood in the air.
"Go and see!"
"Is there anyone alive?"
Following his order, a group of cavalry stepped forward and inspected the entire battlefield in detail.
After a while, the deputy general Ma Pu came to report, his face was very ugly.
"General, the whole army has been wiped out, no one is alive!"
Ping An nodded expressionlessly, seemingly not surprised.
"Where's Huo'erhui?"
"Killed in action."
"Where is the body?"
Heping asked quietly.
Ma Pu commanded several soldiers to bring Huo Er Hui's body over.
I saw this brave and skilled Mongolian warrior. The leather armor and clothes on his body had been blown to pieces. Even his left arm seemed to be torn apart by something. Only a severed arm was left, exposing the white bones.
In addition, Huo'er Hui's body was covered with wounds of various sizes, with countless sharp iron and lead bullets embedded in them.
Those eyes were still wide open, filled with endless fear!
Pingan turned over and dismounted, squatted down and took a closer look, then sighed and closed Huo Erhui's eyes that were fixed on him.
"Pity."
"This Huo'erhui is a great general!"
"His battlefield should be in Beiping, but it's just here!"
When all the generals heard this, they were so frightened that they held their breath and did not even dare to breathe.
Although Ping An's tone is very calm, everyone can hear the suppressed anger in this calm tone!
Furthermore, some of the generals were also a little timid.
First, Sun Cheng led 5,000 light cavalry to pursue the Yan army's sentinels, but their lives and deaths were unknown.
Now Huo'erhui was coming again, and he also led 5,000 Liaodong cavalry. Under the noses of himself and others, he was ambushed and annihilated by the Yan army!
Moreover, Huo Erhui himself was famous for being brave and good at fighting. He was a Mongolian warrior and was extremely brave, yet he died so miserably!
Who are the Yan troops?
How could it have such terrifying fighting power?
You must know that Qingqi is extremely maneuverable, even if they are defeated, they can easily retreat!
But the Chanlie battlefield in front of them clearly told them that if they encountered that Yan army, even if they were Qingqi, they might not be able to escape!
This is what makes all the Confederate generals feel scared!
That's the fear of the unknown!
"It's a firearm!"
Ping An noticed what the generals were thinking and gave the answer directly.
"Huo Erhui himself is unparalleled in bravery. Only firearms can severely injure him without even a chance to resist."
"There are still a lot of iron fragments and lead bullets left on his body. This is the effect that firearms can only achieve."
"Besides, there is still the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air."
When the generals heard these explanations from Ping An, they suddenly realized.
Most of them were unfamiliar with firearms, so they didn't react for a while.
But Ping An is different. In his early years, he followed General Xu Da to attack Yuan Dadu. In that battle, Mingjun used a large number of firearms and was able to attack the city without any disadvantage!
It was precisely when he smelled the familiar smell of gunpowder smoke that Ping An suddenly woke up.
"This Yan army has mastered some powerful firearms!"
"This matter must be reported to the coach without any delay!"
Ping An suddenly ordered, and his expression became excited.
If the Southern Army mastered this powerful firearm, it would no longer be a problem to conquer Peiping or even wipe out the Yan Army!
After all, the Yan army is famous for its iron cavalry, and Huo Erhui and others have proven this with their lives as to the lethality of this kind of firearm against cavalry!
So what Ping An has to do now is to march into Xishan, wipe out this Yan army, and then grab the mysterious firearm!
After inspecting the battlefield this time, Ping An also had a guess in his mind.
That is this Xishan Yan army. It is estimated that there are not many people. Otherwise, they would not have to set up an ambush so carefully. They would just show their chariots and horses to fight with their main army!
In order to swallow up a vanguard army and expose his mysterious firearm, this is not a wise choice at all!
If he is safe, with equal strength, the mysterious firearm will be used as a trump card, and the later the better!
When the battle between the two sides was intense, they then used the mysterious weapon to directly seal the victory!
Therefore, the Yan army in Xishan is insufficient in strength!
After getting this important clue, Ping An felt confident!
Relying on the benefits of firearms is not a long-term solution!
In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trick is just a clown!
"Pass my military order and the three armies will march quickly. We must reach the foot of the Western Mountain before dark!"
As soon as these words came out, the generals were a little confused.
With such a rapid march, aren't they afraid that the Yan army will set up an ambush again?
Ping An explained with a smile: "No matter how powerful the firearm is, ammunition is still a problem."
"The Yan army just fought a battle and achieved the results they wanted. They will not send troops again!"
This explanation did not dispel the hesitation in the hearts of the generals.
But Ping An is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, so they have no other choice but to act according to orders.
At the same time, Xishan Military Camp.
Su Yang was listening to Xu Xiang reporting the results of the battle.
There is no doubt that this is another great victory.
Only this time, the fire gun soldiers' losses were higher. Thirty fire gun soldiers were killed and hundreds of fire gun soldiers were injured.
There is nothing that can be done about this. People can always burst out with unimaginable power under the threat of death.
For example, most of the thirty fire gun soldiers who died in battle were killed by the Confederate cavalry who rushed towards them crazily. Even if they themselves were beaten into a sieve, an enemy would be buried with them!
Fortunately, most of the hundreds of fire gun soldiers were only slightly injured and could return to the battle after a day or two of rest.
After Xu Xiang finished his report, before Su Yang could speak, he took the initiative and suggested: "Sir, how about we kill him again?"
There is no way, the lethality of this firearm is too terrifying, it is simply crushing!
In just two battles, the Xishan army annihilated 10,000 Confederate cavalry. What a brilliant result!
As a result, Xu Xiang and others were a little distracted and wanted to take the opportunity to expand their results and accumulate military merit for themselves.
However, Su Yang was not dazzled by the victory and coldly rejected Xu Xiang's proposal.
"First, although firearms are sharp, ammunition is a problem."
"Second, Ping An is not a mediocre person. He may have discovered some clues. If we still want to set up an ambush and attack, we may very well fall into his trap!"
After hearing this, Xu Xiang and others' expressions suddenly changed slightly, and they honestly gave up the idea of continuing the ambush.
Ping'an is not just a cat or a dog, but the adopted son of Emperor Taizu Gao, a famous general who followed Taizu in the north and south!
It was lucky to have tricked him once. How could it happen a second time?
Only this time, even Su Yang made some miscalculations.
The Confederate army urgently increased its speed. In addition to the supply camp, more than 30,000 people marched frantically.
Finally, we successfully arrived at the foot of the Western Mountain before dark.
And just as Ping An expected, they did not suffer any attacks.
For a time, all the generals admired Ping An.
Looking at the dark western mountains in front of him, a sneer appeared at the corner of Ping An's mouth.
"It's rude to come and not reciprocate!"
"Send my military orders, sound the war drums, and prepare to attack!"
