After Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue found out the smoke, Xu Qing originally wanted to throw a thunderbolt, but thinking that they had no cover now, it would be him who would suffer if he threw grenades again, so Xu Qing gave up the idea, but added another
A smokescreen.
Darkness became their best cover.
Even if there was an expert with similar perception to Xiao Ruxue on the opposite side, these coughing sounds had already disrupted his hearing and he could not be traced at all.
Just when Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue were about to mount their horses and run away, Xiao Ruxue suddenly saw a person rushing out of the smoke screen and only a short distance away from Xu Qing. The scimitar was about to slash at him, so he immediately used his long sword to block it.
But in his haste, he still let his scimitar fall to his shoulder.
Upon seeing this, Xu Qing immediately used a firecracker and shot the man dead.
Then Xu Qing pulled Xiao Ruxue back while checking Xiao Ruxue's injuries and asked: "Xue'er, were you chopped?"
Xiao Ruxue shook her head and said, "No, I'm wearing armor. Their swords can't cut through."
Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly asked: "Then did you suffer any internal injuries?"
Xiao Ruxue shook her head again and said, "I'm wearing the soft armor given by my father. Even if I'm hit by a blunt object, it won't cause internal injuries. Just use me as a shield. If you're in danger, just kill me."
Just push it over and I'll be fine."
Xu Qing pulled Xiao Ruxue back and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xiao Ruxue said: "I'm wearing armor."
Xu Qing said, "You can't do anything with what you wear. Don't block the knife like this next time. It's too dangerous."
Xiao Ruxue said: "But if you don't block it, something will happen to you."
Xu Qing said: "I would rather have something happen to me than something to you."
Just as Xu Qing finished speaking, troops holding torches were chasing after them from the other side of the camp. Yan Guang, who was left behind at the camp, personally led the team patrolling the camp and rushed over. He looked at Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue and said: "
Commander Xu, Princess Yongle, what happened?"
Xu Qing said: "The enemy sent a small group of troops to infiltrate and attack the camp. I think they want to attack the place where our army's baggage and firearms are stored. I have tried to get them to retreat temporarily. You don't want to go there. I've laid out a plan.
The smoke is a ranged damage that does not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Whoever passes before the smoke dissipates will suffer."
Of course, you cannot light torches when attacking a camp at night. The enemy troops are caught off guard and rush into the smoke. After feeling uncomfortable, they will only think about retreating quickly because they are not sure how much smoke has spread in front, but the teammates behind them are in the darkness.
I couldn't see anything clearly, let alone what the people in front wanted to do. It was normal for a moment of confusion to affect the reaction ability of the entire army.
Yan Guang nodded and waved his hand and said: "The crossbowmen are ready!"
As soon as Yan Guang finished his instructions, groups of crossbowmen aimed their crossbows in the direction Xu Qing pointed, and then there was a shower of arrows.
Immediately afterwards, a row of shield soldiers blocked the shield in front, and the troops behind the shield took turns throwing thunderbolts at them.
Maybe these small troops who came are the elite of the prairie army, so they dare to come here to attack the camp, but it is a pity that no matter how strong your martial arts are with firearms, all living beings are equal!
When the smoke dissipated, Yan Guang was dumbfounded when he sent people to press on. Many people were shot to death by crossbows, and many were killed by bombs. Some people retreated temporarily under the cover of darkness, and some survived.
At this time, the patient was curled up on the ground, coughing with runny noses and tears. Some people were even more special. Their exposed skin turned red.
Xiao Ruxue was quite surprised when she approached. She looked at Xu Qing and asked, "Xu Qing, what kind of weapon did you use? Why did they become like this?"
Xu Qing said, "Brother Xiao went to the battlefield last time and reported the effect of smoke bombs to me. The smoke bombs I brought out this time have been improved twice by the Firearms Department, but I didn't expect them to be so powerful.
It bleeds after being scratched... It's so scary, I will definitely use it less next time."
Xiao Ruxue blinked her eyes and said: "Why use less? I think the effect is very good. If you take three pills, they will have runny noses and tears, and it will be difficult to walk."
Xu Qing sighed and said: "Yes, they have difficulty walking and can they still set up tents? They can't even build a prisoner of war camp by themselves. It's such a waste of labor to use such weapons. We still have to treat such prisoners.
, wouldn’t we suffer a great loss by building prisoner-of-war camps for them?”
Xu Qing is the dean of the National Business Academy. Can you do something without analyzing the pros and cons and considering the pros and cons?
When analyzing the income-expense ratio in advance, it almost became an occupational disease for him.
…
Wan Yan Department
Agula was still arranging the order and route of the evacuation in an orderly manner at this time: "Retreat all the way back to the Old Royal Court from here. Remember, evacuate in multiple routes. This way, even if the Chu army comes after them, they will not be defeated in one fell swoop.
"
"You guys should not carry any supplies. Go straight north and let the Chu army think that you are the main force and provide cover for the rest. If you are targeted by the Chu people and chase them, remember to pretend to be ordinary herdsmen.
Then nothing will happen.”
"This trip is light and simple, don't bring too much luggage. Our foundation is still in the old royal court. There are still warriors guarding the royal court and many people from my Wanyan tribe waiting for us to return north. There is no shortage of supplies."
Wanyan Khan looked at Agula who was arranging the orderly evacuation of the entire Wanyan Department and finally sighed heavily: "Agula, is this Khan wrong this time..."
Agula shook his head and said: "What are you talking about, Khan? No one would have thought that Chu's firearms could be used so accurately at night. They must have used technology that our grassland has never mastered."
"Khan, the Chu State is just at the forefront of my grassland with weapons, and there is no help from gods. What Khan has to do now is to reawaken the morale of our army. The Chu State is also a human being, not a god. They can
Victorious."
Wanyan Khan originally wanted to say that it was difficult to boost morale today, but seeing Agula's busy appearance, he finally nodded heavily and said, "I understand."
Wanyan learned about firearms last winter.
But the Khan did not take it to heart at that time, because the firearms did not cause much damage to the grassland army. At most, the horses were frightened, which was not as lethal as the crossbow.
He had never seen firearms with his own eyes, so he took them lightly.
If Agula hadn't strongly recommended him not to go to war with the Chu State, he would still have thought of attacking the Chu State at that time.
Wanyan was moved here from the old royal court because he wanted to attack Chu and conquer the Central Plains. This place is the closest to Chu and you can overlook the Central Plains from here.
He even thought about making the capital of Chu the new capital after conquering Chu.
But tonight's firearms completely made Wanyan Khan realize how powerful the firearms were. He didn't even see the shadow of the enemy. There were only hundreds of fire snakes spreading on the ground, and a roar could be heard in his ears.
The sound was like fire and thunder.
The prairie wolf riders who conquered one by one were as small as ants amidst the thunders that sounded like the wrath of heaven...
