Chapter 416 Night Slash
"Boom boom boom..."
Fire flashed again on the bastion wall.
There was a sound of breaking air, and dozens of shells flew straight over.
Enko's smile was still on his face, but a soldier next to him was hit by a shell and flew backwards.
"Fire!" Enko was shocked and sweating, and then he was extremely angry and shouted to the gunners.
The Beidi gunners received the order and hurriedly loaded the shells and fired at the wall.
It was just that the shells fired from the wall were very fierce. Not only did the force seem to have not decayed, but they were also very accurate.
As soon as the Beidi gunners loaded the shells, their artillery was hit and turned over.
There were also gunners who were hit by shells, breaking their legs and arms, and wailing.
Enko was shocked, "How is it possible."
Their Beidi artillery can only fire 800 meters. At such a long distance, the power of the shells is not very great, at most it can kill people.
But the shells fired by the King of Yan's artillery have such a large residual force.
Seeing that if he continued to fight back, all his artillery would be destroyed, he shouted: "Stop the shelling and hide the artillery."
He knew that it was his shelling of the city wall that exposed the position of his artillery.
Bastion.
Chang Wei almost jumped up and down, and kept asking the artillery to fire.
The King of Yan was almost in danger, which made him extremely angry, and the shelling of the Northern Di exposed their artillery positions, so he naturally had to fight back at this time.
But the artillery only fired a few rounds, and the Northern Di artillery went out.
He kept looking through the telescope, but to no avail.
"Don't look for it anymore, they must have hidden it." Zhao Xu dusted off his body, "Let Wei Qun seize the Northern Di artillery tonight."
"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei gritted his teeth.
After this shelling, the Northern Di no longer launched a charge against the flintlock rifles outside the city.
It is estimated that they went back to discuss how to deal with them.
But no matter how they change, he will not change, and he must kill them tonight.
After descending the city wall, Zhao Xu found Wei Qun and asked someone to call Lu Chang.
"For the northern barbarians, the longer they can hold us here, the better, but I cannot let them have their way. Lu Chang, you lead 3,000 heavy infantry, Wei Qun, you lead 8,000 flintlock soldiers, set out in the evening, go around to the back of Qingfeng Mountain, and launch the attack at dawn."
"Yes, Your Highness." Wei Qun and Lu Chang responded loudly.
The sun sets.
The two entered the mountains under the guidance of the guide. They did not immediately go to the back of Qingfeng Mountain, but rested in the valley at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, Lu Chang and other heavy infantry were almost exhausted. Their armor was very heavy, and it was very difficult to walk on the mountain road.
However, the King of Yan took this into consideration and let them rest for a night, and then launch the attack at dawn, when it was dark and not yet bright.
Everyone in the forest was waiting quietly, without a sound. In such a silent night, even the slightest sound would be heard far away. If it was exposed, all plans tonight would fail.
After a night of hard work, when the sky in the east turned white, Lu Chang and Wei Qun issued an order to attack.
They first sent soldiers to climb up Qingfeng Mountain to investigate, but no Beidi soldiers were found patrolling Qingfeng Mountain.
The Beidi people did not seem to have considered being attacked at night.
After discovering this, the two immediately led the soldiers to climb up from the back of Qingfeng Mountain, and then went down to a position more than ten meters away from the mountain road to organize the formation.
At this moment, although there was a white line in the sky, the mountain was still extremely dark, no different from midnight.
At this time, more than a dozen torches lit up, and the soldiers took out arrows wrapped in oilcloth at the front and lit them one by one on the torches, and strung the bows and arrows.
"Fire!"
With Lu Chang's order, arrows with flames flew towards the tents in the mountain path. The arrows landed accurately on the tents, which were made of animal fur. When they caught fire, the fire spread instantly, illuminating the tents.
When the soldiers lit the arrows, the sentries of the Black Iron Tent had already discovered them and shouted loudly, but they were too late to stop them. The flaming arrows flew from the forest to the Black Iron Tent.
In just a few minutes, a line of fire was burned in the mountain path.
The Black Iron Tent's camp was immediately in chaos. At this time, Lu Chang stood up and shouted: "Kill!"
"Kill!" The response to him was the angry shouts of three thousand heavy infantry.
Lv Chang rushed out first with a steel knife in his hand, and the soldiers followed closely, rushing into the Black Iron Tent camp like a vicious tiger descending from the mountain.
A Beidi soldier woke up from his sleep. He was so frightened that he didn't even have time to put on his clothes in the flames and rushed out of the tent. But he was confronted by a soldier in full silver armor. Before he could shout, he felt a chill in his chest, and then he saw his blood gushing out of his chest. Before he died, extreme fear made him scream for the last time, "The soldiers of King Yan are coming!"
Three thousand heavy infantry rushed into the camp like a tiger into a flock of sheep. Those Beidi soldiers died under their swords as soon as they rushed out of the tent. Some even had their hearts pierced in their sleep.
The chaos on the south side spread rapidly, and the whole camp was filled with the breath of death.
Enke rushed out of the king's tent under the escort of his personal guards. Everything in front of him was beyond his understanding. Where did the soldiers of King Yan come from? He looked at the camp in a sea of fire, and his body was three points colder than the swords in the cold winter.
A voice told him that the Beidi army was finished this time.
Those soldiers in silver armor slaughtered cattle and sheep like cattle, leaving only cold corpses wherever they went. He immediately ordered the soldiers to attack, but the terrified soldiers did not resist at all and were quickly defeated.
"My king, let's go, it will be too late if we don't leave now!" There was a deep knife scar on Gordan's face, and blood was flowing out at this time.
It was scratched by a soldier. If it weren't for a few soldiers who helped him resist in time, his life would probably be gone.
For him, the Beidi soldiers were now in chaos, and they could not organize themselves under such circumstances.
Enke looked at the camp in a sea of fire, stomped his feet hard, turned on his horse, and fled north under the escort of dozens of riders.
When Lu Chang led the heavy infantry to attack, Wei Qun led the flintlock soldiers to the north side of the mountain road according to the plan.
As the sky became brighter, they could gradually see the Beidi soldiers who were scattered in the mountain road, and then he ordered the soldiers to shoot.
"Bang bang bang..." The sound of gunfire rang out.
The Beidi soldiers driven from the south by Lu Chang fell in a pool of blood one after another. The sudden noise intensified their fear.
They no longer wanted to fight, and they swarmed north along the mountain road. Some Beidi soldiers ignored everything and went directly into the mountains.
Many servants chose to surrender directly. They knelt on the ground, raised their hands, and threw their scimitars on the ground.
For them, going back was also death, and being captured by the King of Yan might save their lives.
Bastion.
Zhao Xu and Chang Wei had been waiting for the battle to start.
Seeing the fire and hearing the gunshots, he shouted to the soldiers of the palace who had already assembled: "Soldiers, it's time to harvest the enemy's heads, charge!"
