Thick tongues of fire suddenly shot out in front of the soldiers from the Shenji Battalion.
The flying thunder cannon and the cannon roared together, and the roaring sound instantly overwhelmed the roar caused by the golden army's iron hooves on the ground.
Not only that, several rows of spearmen were also deployed behind the Shenji Battalion.
After the spearmen, there are archers who shoot upward at a 45-degree angle.
If artillery can be said to be like thunder from the sky, then muskets and bows and arrows can be said to be like a torrential rain!
And this heavy rain... is raining down with sharp knives!
At this moment, there was a scene that had never happened before on the battlefield. Thick smoke was everywhere, arrows were raining down, the sky was pierced, and the heart was broken and the soul was shattered!
Before the turbulent and fierce Jin Army realized what was happening, they were torn apart by this laser that could be called the power of gods and ghosts.
In an instant, the Jin army in the front row was stunned and their horses neighed...
Before they could even let out the last painful howl in their lives, they were trampled into flesh by the iron hooves from behind and returned to nature.
The flying thunder cannons cover a distance of fifty to seventy feet in front.
This area has become an inhumane bombing zone.
Massive amounts of yellow-black soil were blasted out of the earth, sweeping dust into the sky.
Thick pillars of smoke appeared out of thin air.
The Jin people are good at raising war horses, and their iron cavalry has been famous for a long time. Their attacks are like thunderbolts and strings, and they are as powerful as spears and dragons. But at this moment, this invincible spear hit a real iron plate.
No matter how sharp the gun is... it will not help.
Wutu was still riding his horse forward frantically from behind, when he suddenly heard a strange sound in his ears, and his mind was suddenly shaken as he looked far away.
Seeing the people on their backs, the people at the front were already blind.
Especially the pillars of smoke and dust rising into the sky made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"What is that!! What is that!! Back off! Back off quickly!!"
Unknown things make people fearful, and unknown things that harvest human lives are extremely frightening.
However, the order at this moment is already too late...
Utu's roar was perfectly covered by the roaring explosion.
Troops with strict military discipline never allow soldiers to retreat.
If you dare to retreat, your death will be even worse and you will be punished from top to bottom.
At this time, the strict military discipline had become a burden. The front row kept falling down, and the rear row was still moving forward.
What's even more frightening is...the war horse went crazy and the soldiers couldn't control it at all!
You should know that it is rare for a horse to get stage frightened, frightened, or jump on the battlefield.
War horses have obvious advantages in physical fitness, intelligence, endurance, explosive power, etc., and they are still two different concepts from ordinary horses.
Especially the tamed war horses are courageous but not timid, obey the command, move in unison, and move forward together.
The war horses of the Kingdom of Jin are carefully selected from the best racecourses. They can be said to be graduates of Wanliu Academy among horses. Every horse is the dream of countless horse lovers.
However, no matter how excellent the war horse is, it has also undergone training for conventional battlefields.
But at this moment...they are facing 'witchcraft'!
The rationality of animals is far worse than that of humans, but their ability to follow animal instincts is obviously much higher than that of humans.
Even though they were densely populated and had a low field of vision, they still sensed the extremely abnormal situation ahead.
This strangeness immediately sent the war horses into a frenzy, and there was huge fear in the war horses' eyes.
The horses began to rush forward desperately, and it was useless to let the knights choke them.
Emperor Jing was still standing beside Long Chu very calmly, with one hand on the shaft of the car, looking around like a wolf.
The golden army in front of them was extremely fierce a second ago, but now it can only be reduced to a lamb to be slaughtered.
Before the two sides could fight each other, the countless warriors who were running rampant on the grassland were already on their backs.
Some people were thrown several meters high by the explosion, some were interrupted by artillery shells, and even some were shot in the face, causing a cloud of blood.
And the worst of all are those who are safe and sound.
Both men and horses were present. Faced with such a powerful force, they all wanted to turn around and escape for a chance of survival. However, the moment they turned around, they were dragged back into the hail of gunfire by their teammates.
Someone was thrown off the horse in panic. Unfortunately, one foot was still hooked on the stirrup, and his head was touching the ground.
On the rough ground, the head was like cheese on a grater, being scratched and worn away.
The flesh and blood along with the brains left a long, thick red mark on the ground... You could still vaguely see the eyeballs popping out of their sockets.
After experiencing both mental and physical torture, his life was wiped out.
The main force of Jingguo's army has not moved at all and has not been affected at all.
Faced with such a good situation, Emperor Jing didn't even have a trace of joy in his heart. Instead, there was a bit of confusion in his eyes.
Times have changed, they really have changed!
When gunpowder was born, he had an idea, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he knew how ferocious it was.
There is no fine deployment of troops, wonderful tactics and formations.
Just relying on extremely rough face-to-face fighting, he defeated the strong soldiers on the opposite side.
A lifetime of hard work...the summary of a lifetime of war seemed to have vanished into nothing at this moment.
However, fortunately, the art of war is not outdated yet.
Emperor Jing thought, looking sideways at Li Yuanzhao beside him, and saw that his mouth was wide open and his face was flushed.
He patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Know your enemy and yourself, and your victory will never be in danger; if you know the sky and the earth, your victory will be endless."
"Intelligence is more important than anything else. Utu's defeat today was due to lack of intelligence. Although the firearms are powerful, there is no chance of victory if the troops are mobilized properly. You must keep this in mind."
Li Yuanzhao came to his senses and nodded solemnly: "I understand."
"Okay, then just retreat and don't move around while skimming the formation behind. When the time comes, our army should take the initiative to pursue it."
The general gave the order. Since the matter was serious, Li Yuanzhao did not dare to say anything. He hugged his fists and silently retreated to the rear of the army.
I don't know how long the shooting and bombing has been going on, but the area nearly a hundred feet in front is already littered with corpses.
Utu ordered his men to roar in unison, which finally restored some of the decline, and most of the army's sanity was restored.
The group turned around and started running back.
The muskets of the musketeers and the thunder cannons of the artillery were also exhausted and burned red.
I'm afraid it will explode if I shoot it again.
The Shenji Battalion also temporarily stopped venting its artillery and entered sage mode to start cooling down its equipment....
The Jin army came and went like a tide. Seeing the opportunity, Emperor Jing took his long spear from the side of the carriage, turned on his horse, and shouted at the same time: "The whole army attacks!!"
The dragon flag is flying, and the morale of Jingjun has reached its peak!
After a response like a tsunami, the armored Jingguo cavalry chased the Jin army like a torrent of steel!
Wutu was already a little at a loss and urged the soldiers frantically.
"Retreat to Chenggaoguan!"
The current situation has far exceeded his imagination. The battlefield is too chaotic to make decisions, so he can only return to Chenggaoguan to calmly plan.
how so? Paba also looked at the retreating army with a look of pain on his face.
There was despair in his heart, but he still shouted to Wu Tu rationally: "Your Majesty, the enemy is fierce, let Chi Lie cut off the rear!"
