Steel Dynasty - Chapter 791

[Chapter 790 The Battle]

Wu Shugu looked at the Chongqing army outside Pingzhou City, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of black mist.

Outside the city, the scattered white tents of Dayu were very dazzling in his eyes. It was obvious that Dayu was preparing to fight a protracted war with them.

“Despicable Dayu people, they are deliberately destroying the spring plowing in our six cities.” Wu Shugu was very angry.

Bei Shan said matter-of-factly, “I have long said that the current emperor of the Great Chongqing Kingdom is different from any previous emperor of the Great Chongqing Kingdom. It’s a pity that none of you listened to me. It was you who allowed him to grow into a foodie.” Human beast. “

“I don’t want to hear these sarcastic words from you now. If we lose this time, no one will have a good life.” Wu Shu Gu’s eyes were sharp.

While the two were talking, a melodious trumpet sound suddenly sounded from the Dayu army that had completed their formation in front of the formation.

At this time, I saw the musketeers who were standing in front move out of the way, and a group of soldiers wearing silver armor stepped forward.

The two were shocked when they saw the soldier in this costume.

Best also opened his mouth and said, “Why, why does the Great Yu Kingdom still have such an army?”

Just when they were in shock, there was a sudden “boom” in the Great Yu Kingdom’s position.

Lime bombs were thrown from the mortars into the trench in front of Pingzhou City, and white smoke suddenly enveloped the trench.

Some barbarian soldiers were unable to dodge and were covered in lime powder. Those barbarians whose eyes were burned by the lime powder covered their eyes and cried in pain.

Outside the city, Lu Fei watched all this calmly. Now they were a hundred meters away from the trench. In the trench, he could vaguely see the barbarian archers hiding in it.

If the musketeers are allowed to advance rashly, they will definitely be shot by these archers, so if they want to get close to the city wall, they must seize the trench in front of the city.

After all, the shooting accuracy of soldiers three hundred meters away will be much worse, and they will not be able to effectively shoot the barbarian slave soldiers on the city wall.

“Kill!”

Lu Fei gave the order, and the soldiers in plate armor immediately rushed towards the trench.

At this time, the barbarian slave soldiers in the trench also took out their weapons, and some archers opened their bows and arrows and shot at the soldiers.

But in front of the plate armor made of high-quality steel, their bows and arrows only left a dent, and in an instant they were fighting with the soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom who were armed to the teeth.

The Chongqing soldiers who rushed to the trench jumped directly into the trench, raised their swords, and ran rampant among the barbarian slave soldiers like gods of murder.

Although the barbarian slave soldiers were large in number, the barbarians did not equip them with excellent weapons and armor. Many of the barbarian slave soldiers were just wearing shabby clothes and holding a shabby weapon.

They were no match against the Yu soldiers wearing fine plate armor, but the barbarian slave soldiers in the first row of trenches suffered heavy losses in an instant.

Bei Shan and Wu Shu Gu in Pingzhou City had ugly expressions. In their eyes, these soldiers in silver armor poured into the trench like a torrent of steel.

The first row of trenches was quickly occupied, and then they poured into the second row of trenches.

“Fire!” Beishan gave the order coldly.

Wu Shugu said anxiously: “Wait a minute, our soldiers are fighting with them, how can we fire!”

“Can slave soldiers be considered human beings? As long as Pingzhou City can be saved, it doesn’t matter if they are all dead. !” Beishan said angrily.

Wu Shu Gu was silent. He glanced at the trenches that were constantly being occupied and finally nodded slightly.

“Fire!” Beishan gave the order this time.

“Boom, boom, boom…” At this time, the artillery at the top of Pingzhou City finally made a deafening sound, and the black shells rushed straight into the melee crowd.

A barbarian slave soldier was hugging and fighting with the soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom, when a cannonball suddenly hit him in the back.

The huge force directly knocked him and the Chongqing soldiers away, and then they hit several soldiers in succession.

The flames and smoke spewing from the top of Pingzhou City made Lu Fei frown. He said: “Let the artillery bombard Pingzhou City immediately. Commander of the Third Battalion, you immediately lead your people to shoot the artillery on the city wall.” “

Yes, Army Commander! “The third battalion commander immediately led nine companies under his command to approach the trench. When they were twenty meters away from the trench, they used muskets to start shooting at the artillery at the top of the city.

The range of the barbarian artillery was only 500 meters, which was not as good as the Yu Kingdom’s muskets. When they entered a distance of more than 200 meters, they opened fire one after another.

Although the best shooting distance is within 150 meters, this distance is enough to cause damage to the barbarian artillery. “

Boom, boom, boom…”, “Bang, bang, bang…”

Artillery and muskets fired in unison. The three armies gathered hundreds of artillery pieces and violently bombarded Pingzhou City.

Hundreds of artillery shells fell on the city wall like raindrops .

Like dust, smoke suddenly flew up from the Pingzhou city wall, and some barbarian soldiers who were directly hit were bloody and bloody. Wu

Shugu

and Beishan quickly hid under the city amid the fierce gunfire, and Bestu also looked pale.

The firearms are too fierce, which is a disaster for the barbarians with backward firearms. Now his confidence is beginning to waver.

With a quasi-European army, will this backward steppe empire be Wu

Shugu’s opponent now ?

Regretting it, he said to Beishan: “You are right, we should have destroyed Dayu earlier instead of fighting a meaningless war with the Ottoman Empire. “

It’s too late to say anything. Now we can only delay it. Once winter comes, they will stop attacking.” “Beishan said.

Wu Shugu was filled with regret. He was frightened by the terrifying scene at the top of the city. At the same time, he knew very well that if this continued, Pingzhou City would cease to exist.

He said: “We must use the cavalry to disrupt their attack. Beishan, I leave this to you. I will personally lead the cavalry to cut off the food routes of Dayu.”

After that, he led a group of cavalry generals and walked out of the city.

Bei Shan watched Wu Shu Gu leave. At this time, he said to Gu Duo, “Send out all the slave soldiers and make sure to keep the army of Dayu out of the city.”

There are more than 200,000 slaves stationed in Pingzhou City .

Soldiers, they still have enough soldiers, even if four are replaced by one, they can afford to replace them.

Guduo left in response, and he immediately led the cavalry to drive the slave soldiers out of the city gate.

The Chongqing soldiers who were engaged in a bloody battle had already occupied the eighth trench. Seeing that there were still sixteen trenches left, they were able to rush into the city gate. At this time, the Pingzhou city gate opened wide and a dense group of barbarian slave soldiers jumped in. The tunnel rushed towards them.

After the fierce artillery fire suppression, the artillery on Pingzhou City was basically unable to cause damage to the Chongqing soldiers in the trenches.

But when the slave soldiers appeared, his expression changed.
