Chapter 711 Early Winter Seventeen

Endlessly closed.

All the soldiers are ready for battle.

The soldiers of the Red Flame Army had no doubt about the victory of this battle, because they already knew the huge power of the catapult and the fireworks.

Even this thick wall can be blown down. No matter how strong the enemy is wearing armor...it is not as strong as the wall!

Catapults have specialized warriors called catapults.

In the past six months, they have been practicing how to use this catapult every day, summarizing various experiences.

For example, the angle of pulling the throwing arm affects the throwing distance.

For example, how much force does it take to reach the same throwing distance when putting in fireworks and putting in boulders?

This thing cannot achieve point-to-point accuracy, but the fireworks perfectly solve this problem, because the fireworks explode into a large area!

Now that we are on top of the wall, it is obvious that a throw with the same force will have a longer distance.

In the past two days, they have tried it with stones. By maximizing the angle of the throwing arm, they can project a distance of eighty feet.

If the enemy is charging with cavalry... then the fireworks should be thrown out at a distance of about 100 feet from the enemy.

Seventy thousand elite cavalry!

This is an extremely powerful force for any country.

Now, the soldiers of the Red Flame Army hope that the enemy can run faster!

They were gearing up and looking forward to it, but unexpectedly the enemy stopped a hundred feet away!

The yellow sand gradually falls.

Under the sunset, those cavalrymen in silver armor shone brightly!

Their discipline seems to be extremely strict. The horses do not neigh and the people do not move, just like statues.

Only eight battle flags lined up in a row were fluttering in the wind.

The battle flag on the Chinese military chariot is the highest and largest.

There is a big bright red hook written on the battle flag!

Wang Zheng Jinzhong turned to look at Wu Mian, "These seven generals are the seven of Gou Zhong's thirteen adopted sons!"

"Gou Zhong's thirteen adopted son is known as the Thirteen Taibao in the Divine Eagle Army... Their military tactics, as well as martial arts, were all taught by Gou Zhong."

"The Thirteen Taibao basically joined the Eagle Army when they were around thirteen years old, and have grown from a small soldier to a general today. Although there is Gou Zhong's selfishness in this, it also shows that they are indeed outstanding."

"Now, they are all around thirty years old, in their prime, at their peak... These seven adopted sons were sent to Qicheng Village by Gou Zhong, and they also sent 10,000 elite warriors of the Divine Eagle Army. Gou Zhong said to them

This son of mine has invested a lot of money!"

Wu Mian nodded slightly. He did not underestimate these seven armies because he knew how powerful Gou Zhong was.

The general has no dogs!

Even though Gou Kuo was defeated, Wu Mian did not underestimate Gou Kuo, because Gou Kuo was not defeated because of his lack of ability, he was defeated by this new form of fighting.

For example, at this moment, the 70,000 cavalrymen of Qichengzhai did not charge rashly. It was obvious that they were looking for ways to deal with the fireworks.

But can they find it?

Wang Zheng Jinzhong asked again at this moment: "If you were the enemy general, how would you attack?"

Wu Mian thought for a moment and shook his head: "In the face of absolute power, all strategies and tactics are worth mentioning!"

"Unless there is a rebellion within the Red Flame Army, or the enemy army uses a large number of people to consume all the fireworks."

The first situation will not happen.

But the second scenario is very possible.

Because 70% of the fireworks were used in the attack on Wuyaguan.

Although craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry have opened a firearms bureau in Yudan City, the supply to the Red Flame Army is limited because it is said that making fireworks is not easy.

Wang Zhengjinzhong asked again:

"These 70,000 cavalry are all elites. Will Gou Kuo be willing to let them die?"

Wu Mian looked at the enemy army, "But among the 70,000 cavalry, 50,000 are Xia Li's former soldiers!"

Wang Zheng Jinzhong frowned slightly, "You mean... they will use Xia Li's soldiers as the vanguard?"

Wu Mian nodded: "Of course that's the case. Also, I don't think they will use the cavalry's usual full-army charge!"

Wang Zheng Jinzhong was shocked. If the enemy did not charge with the whole army, but instead used a long snake formation, or spread it horizontally under the entire wall... the fireworks would not be able to exert their maximum lethality!

They are cavalry and have extremely strong maneuverability.

They can even effectively avoid fireworks after seeing them coming!

When the fireworks ran out, the enemy used the remaining 20,000 cavalry to launch a final attack...

There will eventually be a time for hand-to-hand combat.

But if the enemy wants to climb the wall, they must pay a heavy price.

Wu Mian was not worried about Wuyakuan being lost again, because he still had Yuan Su's 50,000 divine guards behind him.

Even if not, he still believes that the Red Flame Army can defend the wall and with the two smaller fireworks carried by each soldier of the Red Flame Army, they will be able to wipe out all the enemies.

But in this way, the Red Flame Army's casualties will be even greater.

But the opponent is cavalry... If they charge with cavalry... that would be great!

Because cavalry has weaknesses.

The weakness of the cavalry is the horses under their crotches!

As for how this battle will turn out, it is difficult for Wu Mian to judge, but in any case, he firmly believes that the enemy will not be able to attack the wall!

Just like Yuan Su's confidence comes from the sword in their hands.

Wu Mian's confidence comes from the fireworks in his hands!

Fireworks are more powerful and bloody than knives.

This is war.

A general must not have mercy.

Even if the Red Flame Army suffered more than half of its casualties, it was already a great victory to be able to wipe out the 70,000 cavalrymen in Qichengzhai!

At the corner of the north city wall, Xiao Wu and others were also looking at the enemy troops a hundred feet away.

After a while, he took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the bamboo basket on his back, and wrote:

"Set up a first aid camp here and prepare to treat the wounded."

But Amu shook his head and said: "Do you still remember the battle of Wuzhangyuan?"





Xia Yuanzhou, Qichengzhai Allied Forces Central Army.

Seven burly generals stood in front of Gou Kuo,

Gou Kuo looked at the majestic Wuyaguan in the distance, feeling extremely uneasy, as the tragic scene seemed to appear before his eyes again.

The kind of force that shakes the earth and the mountains.

Those bloody and bloody stumps.

The desperate wails of the soldiers, and their helplessness in the face of the fireworks...

All this came to his mind again.

Now, that tall rack is erected on Wuya Pass. When they all go off, the overwhelming fireworks... How can I resist the 70,000 cavalry?

If everyone dies again, the huge Xiayuanzhou will no longer have a single soldier!

If Ning's army goes south... I'm afraid even my father won't be able to bear the consequences!

"That is the weapon used by the enemy to launch fireworks. Brothers and sisters, that thing is truly a magical weapon. If it explodes, there will be countless casualties... Otherwise, let's retreat!"

"Keep Qicheng Village, at least the Ning army will not be able to break through Xia Yuanzhou!"

As soon as he said this, the seven generals were stunned.

One of the generals bowed his hand and said, "General, of course we believe that the fireworks are powerful, but... my adoptive father had some instructions when he ordered me to come here."

"My adoptive father said that we must assist the general to gain a foothold here and lay down a foundation!"

"My foster father said that both Yuanzhou and Wuyaguan are extremely important, because after His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, there will probably be a Northern Expedition soon... Ning Guo is weak, and His Highness the Crown Prince has great ambitions, so it will be inevitable to attack Ning Guo!

"

"Xiayuanzhou is the front line of the Northern Expedition. With a foster father operating in the court, the general must be the commander of the Northern Expedition!"

"As long as the general takes over the Yudan River Plain...this will be enough to make the Gou Mansion the most powerful family in Ning Kingdom!"
