Chapter 385 Sir, times have changed
The sudden noise scared Qi Yan Huihe.
I saw that many bumpy potholes suddenly appeared on the open space in the valley ahead.
The pits were only knee-deep and crisscrossed, but they were moving too fast and the horses had no time to react. They were caught off guard and jumped into the pits, falling forward.
A large group of people fell down, and those behind them immediately stopped their horses and their speed slowed down suddenly.
It was impossible to stop these tens of thousands of cavalrymen with just a few earth pits, but dozens of artillery shells fell from the mountains on both sides, hitting these cavalrymen heavily and blowing them to the ground.
Then, on the road ahead of them, shouts of killing were deafening. At least 100,000 people appeared on both sides, forming dense square formations, completely blocking the way out of the valley.
Behind them, many infantry and cavalry appeared, stretching as far as the eye could see.
This is Yuhuatian's ambush.
Last night, Shen Changgong was about to go to bed, but Yu Huatian suddenly asked to see him.
After Shen Changgong met with Yu Huatian, Yu Huatian expressed his concerns.
Yu Huatian stood in the enemy's perspective, reviewing the battle and looking for a way for the enemy to survive.
After careful consideration, he realized that the enemy's only advantage was their high mobility. They had to either abandon everything and flee to the west, or...
They changed their tactics and killed as many Yan people as the Yan people killed them.
If they really send all their troops to escape, then there is nothing to say. We can't catch up with them. We should guard the western and northern borders heavily to prevent their revenge.
If they really want to change their home, then Yan State will be in danger, and they must ambush in advance.
After listening to this, Shen Changgong immediately agreed to this tactic and ordered the Tianyu Army and the Zhennan Army to go to the last ambush site overnight, dig trenches, set up battle array, and deploy artillery to lure the enemy into the trap.
Shen Changgong led the Changning Army to guard the prisoners, pretending that the army was still there to confuse the enemy.
Sure enough, Qiyan Huihe, who was only thinking about rescuing his relatives and taking revenge, was blinded by anger and lost his previous caution. He led his troops frantically south to take revenge on the State of Yan.
So, they fell into the trap.
The 150,000 Tianyu Army and the 50,000 Zhennan Army blocked the enemy from all sides and then began to advance.
Artillery fire roared on the east and west sides, and the army was approaching on the north and south sides. On the top of the mountain stood countless black-armored cavalrymen ready to go.
Those tens of thousands of cavalrymen were trapped in a jar.
"Wang Khan, we are surrounded, we are finished!"
A barbarian soldier was so frightened after seeing more than a dozen of his friends being blown to pieces not far away that he ran to Qi Yan Huihe and cried out for help.
"Wang Khan! What should we do?"
"Wang Han, give me an idea. Let's break out."
"There's no way to escape. The enemy has us surrounded on all sides!"
Wang Khan looked at the army around him and his heart sank to the bottom.
He knew that he could no longer sit and wait for death. He had to break out, whether to the south or the north.
He observed the enemies on both sides and found that the north side was relatively weak.
"My men, charge north, charge out. Let's go west, we must escape. We will develop in the west, and then we will have plenty of women and children!"
"Kashu! You be the vanguard, charge forward!"
Qi Yanhui roared loudly.
Kashu, the strongman who was more than two meters tall, rode a very tall warhorse, picked up his huge machete, and rushed to the north first.
That horse weighed at least six or seven hundred pounds, and with Kashu's weight of more than two hundred pounds, he was like a tank, charging forward bravely.
The Yan infantry in the north lined up in formation, and the Shenji Camp deployed three rows of guns forward.
Standing in the front is the female general of Yan State, Yang Hongying!
Yang Hongying held the red tassel spear in her right hand and looked sternly at the strong man Ka Shu who was charging across from her with unstoppable force.
The opponent was obviously an extremely powerful man. If that knife had hit Yang Hongying, it would have been able to cut her and her horse in half.
But Yang Hongying was not afraid at all, and there was no fear in her eyes.
She looked at Qiyan Kashu and actually put down the red tasseled spear in her hand.
Then he picked up the flintlock hanging from the saddle.
Raise the gun, aim, and pull the trigger.
boom!
A bullet flew out of the chamber and hit Kashu right between his eyebrows.
Ka Shu's eyes were filled with astonishment. He looked ahead in disbelief, and then fell off his horse with a thud.
This invincible warrior who galloped across the grassland was shot dead without even touching the enemy.
Yang Hongying blew away the white smoke from the muzzle of the gun, chuckled, and said,
"Sir, times have changed."
Ka Shu's death frightened the grassland cavalry, but they did not dare to slow down.
Because they know that if they can't get through, they can only wait for death.
"shot!"
Yang Hongying shouted loudly, and the soldiers of the Shenji Camp immediately opened fire, pulled the trigger, and then quickly retreated.
The first row of cavalry fell, and the second row of Shenjiying soldiers took aim and fired again.
They controlled the rhythm very well, and the enemy cavalry fell down in batches.
Not only was there a gun formation, but the cannon muzzles on both sides also moved with the movement of the cavalry.
The shells flew everywhere and landed heavily among the cavalry, blowing them off their horses and men.
Because there were so many casualties, the horses were frightened and started to charge around, and the speed of the barbarian cavalry slowed down significantly.
In just a quarter of an hour of gunfire and bombardment, these barbarians lost nearly half of their men.
But the Zhennan Army cavalry on both sides still did not charge down.
Because Prince Shen said that people are more valuable than artillery shells, so if artillery shells can be used to kill the enemy, our own people should not rush in.
Wait until the enemy is completely defeated, then go up and reap the battlefield.
Qi Yan Huihe roared and gathered the remaining troops again for the next charge.
But as soon as he assembled the troops, the artillerymen of the Shenji Camp on the hilltop were ecstatic.
I am not afraid of you being united, I am just afraid of you being scattered.
Under the command of the commander of the Shenji Camp, the artillery bombarded like crazy, falling into the crowd and blowing away one person after another.
The bows and muskets of the infantry in front were also extremely fierce.
The all-round fire coverage made these cavalrymen suffer a lot.
Qiyan Huihe had no choice but to turn his horse around and charge south with the remaining troops.
However, this can no longer be called an army, but only survivors.
The remaining 10,000 or so survivors charged southward in an attempt to break through the defense line.
But what greeted them was still muskets.
They were moving so fast that there was no time to aim the artillery. The commander of the Shenji Camp pointed the muzzle of the artillery directly at the open space in front of the southern army and then fired. The shells fell just as the enemy rushed over.
Then, there was another scene of people falling to the ground and screams and wails were heard.
