Chapter 251: Annihilation of the Enemy Cavalry Main Force
The soldier threw Han Xuan to the ground without hesitation, using his body to help him resist the Yan army's world-destroying thunder.
Boom boom boom! ! !
There were several more earth-shattering noises, and suddenly there was a burst of screams on the top of the city.
There were rubble flying everywhere, weapons and armor were blown to pieces, and the Kun army was thrown to the ground in panic.
Han Xuan felt as if his body had been hit hard. He quickly pushed the soldier away and found that the other party's back had been blown to pieces and he died on the spot.
Han Xuan stood up and shouted the order he had just given.
Let some people carry the wounded down, and leave a small number of people to defend the city.
The ten cannons on Shen Changgong's side showed their power and the Kun army suffered heavy losses, but he was not in a hurry to send troops up. The Kun army had not been frightened yet and the main force was still hiding behind the city wall. Even if the city gate was blown open at this time, it would be difficult for the Yan army to rush in.
After all, the city gate is so small that the Yan army needs to line up to enter, while the enemy army can line up inside the city gate, so they will still be at a disadvantage.
Shen Changgong gave the order again,
"Move the cannon's muzzle up an inch and bombard their city for me."
Shen Changgong knew that in the city opposite, there must be a large number of troops waiting under the city wall, waiting to replace the soldiers guarding the city.
Do you think you are safe hiding in the city?
Little Flying Thunder is coming!
On the other side, the Pingnan Army in the east of the city successfully blocked the enemy cavalry. They used shield and spear formations. The heavy shields were placed on the ground, and the spearmen placed their spears diagonally upwards on the shields, holding them tightly, and pressing their backs against the ground, using the impact force of the ground to pierce the enemy cavalry.
They successfully repelled the enemy. The enemy was just feinting and when they saw that the Pingnan Army was heavily guarded, they turned around and went back to the city. The Pingnan Army continued to advance, set up artillery and began to bombard the enemy.
On the west side of the city, the Tianyu Army encountered the main force of the enemy.
Yu Huatian did not use the iron barrel formation that the Pingnan Army used. Instead, he immediately ordered the army to disperse in a fish scale formation and divide into several large and small formations. He also used spears and shields to resist the enemy, leaving enough passages for the enemy to rush in. When the enemy entered the formation, they were faced with spears and divine thunder from all directions.
Spears continuously pierced the nearby enemy troops, and divine thunders were thrown high up, landing among the cavalrymen. The sounds of bombing and screams were endless.
At the same time, artillery was set up in the central army. Yu Huatian ordered them to aim at the rear of the cavalry and started firing directly.
Five cannons fired five shells, and the enemy troops were thrown to the ground by the bombing.
The artillery fire killed only a few dozen enemies, which was insignificant compared to the 40,000 cavalrymen.
However, the bombardment of artillery shells greatly affected the enemy cavalry's formation and speed. The cavalry in front fell, and the other horses were frightened and could not help but slow down or run around, knocking over more cavalry.
Many cavalrymen were tripped by the horses in front of them, and were thrown to the ground. More people were trampled to death.
The cavalry of Kun State is also well-trained. When they encounter things that restrain cavalry, such as tripwires, trip spikes, and chevaux de frise trenches, they have corresponding tactics to deal with them.
However, this kind of thing as artillery was the first time they had seen it. They had no way to dodge or defend themselves, so they could only passively take the beating, and then the whole place was in chaos.
Fortunately, the cavalry commander reacted quickly and immediately dispersed the cavalry behind him and bypassed the chaotic area in front.
But at this moment, deafening shouts of killing came from behind.
"Kill!"
The commander of Kun's cavalry looked back and saw a dense mass of black flags and black armor coming from the north, blocking out the sun. Those cavalrymen were well-equipped, holding sabers, and were encircling them.
"Ugh!"
Kun Jun sighed heavily. It was obvious that the East City did not attract the Yan cavalry as originally planned, and the Zhennan Army came straight towards them.
He made a prompt decision and ordered a retreat. As the horn sounded, the cavalry immediately turned around.
But only then did he realize that his front army was already deeply trapped in the enemy's battle formation and could not escape.
Yuhua Tianxia ordered the army to encircle the more than 10,000 cavalrymen in the infantry phalanx, and continuously compressed the space.
The cavalry who couldn't run were no better than the infantry. Facing enemies from all directions, those cavalry were killed one by one.
Soon, the Zhennan Army also completed the encirclement of the rear army of the Kun State Cavalry, constantly charging left and right, disrupting the enemy's battle formation and engaging in battle with the enemy cavalry.
Both sides are light cavalry, and the competition at this time is about who is braver.
King Ma Ling of the South took the lead, leading the cavalry to charge and slash continuously, beheading the enemies one by one.
The Southern King's invincibility and the terrifying attack of the divine thunder made the Kun army more and more timid, and their formation was in chaos.
The more chaotic it is, the more defeated it is; the more defeated it is, the more afraid it becomes of chaos.
In the end, after an hour, only a few hundred cavalrymen managed to escape the siege and ran towards the south of the city. They entered the city from the south gate and did not even dare to enter the west gate, for fear that the other party would take the opportunity to seize the city gate.
The Southern King's Zhennan Army and Yu Huatian's Tianyu Army also completely destroyed and captured the remaining cavalry.
Yuhuatian left some people to clean up the battlefield, while the others bypassed this battlefield area, continued to advance, set up artillery, and began to attack the city without stopping.
Because he had already heard a huge explosion coming from the North City, he couldn't delay any longer.
King Ma Ling of the South did not lead his troops back, but went directly to the left wing of the Tianyu Army, waiting to enter the city and fight.
"The Zhennan Army is not good at street fighting. Is Your Highness the Southern Prince sure you want to use cavalry to fight in the city?"
Yu Huatian asked while looking at the Southern King Ma Ling beside him.
A few days ago, at Yaoguan, it was the first time that King Nan met the legendary coach Yu Huatian.
I have heard before that the Kun Kingdom has a celestial being of male and female appearance, who is as beautiful as a fairy and is extremely good at strategy.
Later, in the battle at Qianxing Valley, Yuhuatian ran away early.
In the next few days, the King of the South went to attack Yao Pass and did not see Yuhuatian.
Ordinary men would feel uncomfortable when seeing Yu Huatian's beautiful face, but King Nan didn't care and was not moved at all.
Because Yu Huatian was still wearing the hideous mask that Shen Changgong gave him.
Although Yu Huatian didn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, it was a token of Prince Shen's kindness, so he still wore it obediently.
Hearing Yu Huatian's question, the Southern King said expressionlessly,
"I will only be responsible for attacking the large enemy forces on the main streets. You will be responsible for clearing out the enemy forces in the alleys and lanes."
"The general understands."
Yuhuatian said softly.
"Can you be a bit more manly? Forget it, fire the cannons. The explosions north of the city are deafening, and I haven't seen the power of these cannons with my own eyes yet."
"I will obey your orders!"
