Chapter 714 Field Battle (2)

"Bird Gunner, ready to release..."

"Ba,b,ba,ba..."

The fire of muskets continued to shoot, and the dense firepower drove the coalition cavalry into sieves. At about 150 steps away from the bird gunner, the coalition cavalry fell in rows. For the coalition cavalry, this distance became an insurmountable line of life and death. In addition to the muskets, there were also continuous shooting of bows and crossbows, causing great casualties to the coalition cavalry.

Looking at the coalition cavalry that kept charging, Jin King Li Bingchang decisively ordered: "Tell us the order, the two wings of the cavalry will attack separately and surround the enemy. None of them can run away."

With the issuance of Li Bingchang's military order, King Li Hao and Liang Yongneng of Yue led their troops out from both wings and rushed to the rear of the coalition army. Although the coalition had the advantage of military strength, they were no match for the Xia army at all. After two hours of fighting, the two armies lost nearly 100,000 people. Most of these were the contributions of the Xia army's thirty cannons and more than 100 Hui cannons. The Hui cannons threw out all explosive packs of more than 50 kilograms and some explosive packs of more than 100 kilograms. Their power was very huge, and the entire killing radius was three or four z.

The huge loss did not hurt the Xia army at all. In this way, all the coalition glaciers were deeply afraid. The Khwarezm king Galega, who was commanding in the rear, was completely beaten to death. Prince Oslahei said to Galega: "Father, retreat quickly! If you don't retreat, it will be too late."

"Yes, evacuate; order the army to evacuate." Galega decisively ordered after he woke up.

Under the protection of thousands of personal guards, the King of Khwarezm Galega and Prince Oslahe immediately evacuated the battlefield, leaving more than 200,000 coalition soldiers to run away, and even the commander ran away. The coalition forces fled in scattered birds and beasts, but they could no longer escape. The Xia cavalry had formed a huge encirclement on the periphery, surrounding the entire coalition.

King Li Bingchang of Jin looked at the surrounded coalition cavalry and said, "Call them to surrender immediately, otherwise they will kill them."

"Dropping off the horse and surrender immediately, otherwise you will be killed..."

The coalition cavalry had lost their fighting spirit and dismounted and knelt on the ground to surrender in succession under the swearing sounds of surrender. The Xia cavalry immediately took all the prisoners. The 350,000 coalition forces of Khwarezm lasted for only three hours and their entire army was wiped out. While the sky was not dark, Li Bingchang commanded a hundred thousand troops to launch an attack on the city of Koti.

At this time, the city of Koti was already an unguarded city. Galega and Oslahei did not even return to the city and went around the city directly. The Xia army exploded the city gate with explosives, and 100,000 Xia soldiers flocked in and carried out a massacre on the entire city of Koti. All the children, old and weak were killed, leaving only the young and strong. In this battle, the Xia army could be said to have won a great victory, but the losses were small, but the gunpowder was consumed hugely. At the same time, Li Bingchang realized the huge power of the firearm. Only thirty cannons and ten thousand bird guns had such results. If there were more...

The reason for the defeat of the coalition was largely due to the huge explosion of gunpowder. In their opinion, this was incomprehensible. This was God's punishment for them. In their eyes, only the gods had this ability. Now that Xia Jun mastered this ability, it was obvious that the gods sent them to punish themselves.

Late at night, in the old palace of Khwarezm in the city of Koti.

King Li Hao of Yue reported to King Li Bingchang of Jin: "Brother, we can make a lot of money this time. The entire city of Keti is under our control. The 350,000 troops of Khwarezm have been wiped out by us. The entire Khwarezm no longer has any force to stop us."

Li Bingchang just nodded and said nothing; Li Hao looked at Li Bingchang with a frown and asked, "Brother, what are you thinking?"

"I was wondering how there would be a 350,000 army of Khwarezm, and you should be able to see it. There are at least 100,000 of them, and the weapons they wear and hold are all kinds of different types, but they don't look like a regular army at all." Li Bingchang said.

"We all beat them like that bird, and we still care about what they do!" Li Hao said after sitting down.

Li Bingchang continued to say to Li Hao: "Although we have eliminated nearly 400,000 Khwarezm's army, we cannot be taken lightly. Khwarezm has a population of 5 million and can at least arm a 500,000 army. Moreover, they are a country that combines farming and nomadic direction, so they should be able to gather more troops, so they cannot relax their vigilance."

"It's the eldest brother." King Li Hao of Yue said: "But you don't have to be careful, we annihilated all the elites of Khwarezm. What we left is a group of mobs, which is not worth worrying at all."

"You forgot what I just said." Li Bingchang said sternly: "It's still the words of the father. We must pay attention to the enemy strategically and despise the enemy tactically."

"Brother, what should we do next? Do you want to head towards Yulongjie Chicheng?" Li Hao continued to ask.

"No hurry, even the anti-war has exhausted the brothers. Let's take down other small towns around for ten days, sweep all the Khwarezm tribes within 300 miles around, and place our captured prisoners properly, and then continue to move westward." Li Bingchang thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, I will receive the order..."

The Xia army captured 100,000 young and 50,000 qualified women from the entire city of Keti. The 100,000 young and gangs were imprisoned with more than 200,000 prisoners of war. Li Bingchang specially emptied Nancheng and sent 30,000 troops to guard them. They were also detained separately. After starving these prisoners for two days (not even drinking water), the Xia army began to act and asked all the prisoners to line up and leave Nancheng one by one.

At Wuli Pavilion outside the south city, the Xia army specially set up a row of tents, and a group of military doctors were waiting there in white coats and small scimitars. All prisoners of war entered the tent one by one, and they would be knocked out immediately whenever they entered. Then they were carried onto a wooden board, and the military doctors did not talk nonsense and took their pants off and went toward their little brother with one knife. The severe pain from their lower body would instantly wake the prisoners up and make a tragic cry, "Ah!"

Then he sprinkled some bleeding-stop powder and was carried out. As for the cut little brother, he threw it into the wooden barrel beside him. More than 30 people and tens of thousands of prisoners were captured. If these more than a thousand military doctors were to be cut, they would be disgusting even if they were exhausted. So at first, they were military doctors, but later they were directly replaced by Xia soldiers, which was the case of a knife falling.

It took three days for 300,000 prisoners of war to be cut off, but less than one-fifth of these prisoners could survive in the end. This result was much beyond Li Bingchang's expectations. After all, medical technology in this era was very backward, and the Xia army had a very rough operation method, and many prisoners died due to infection. It was already very lucky to be able to survive. These people were very afraid of the Xia army and gradually turned into slavery and became accomplices in Li Bingchang's future handling of prisoners of war. This incident also taught Li Bingchang a lesson. The way to cut off his younger brother is not advisable.

The first update, votes will support it...
