No matter how fast your legs are, you can't outrun the cannonball.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of artillery, Gao Yuan easily wiped out the defenders of Lingyuandu without any effort.
Those who tried to escape were all killed by Jingguo soldiers who were hiding on the hillside.
However, the rumbling thunder produced by the artillery also attracted the attention of the enemy troops after Lingyuan crossed. .??.
This group of Jin people knew very well what the sound meant. If the god-like woman hadn't appeared and created an incredible picture of hell, Jingguo's artillery army would have been buried.
I'm afraid that these people would have been torn apart by artillery fire.
Without hesitation, someone immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat and convey the message to their superiors.
Jingguo attacked!
Xiao Jin, who was sitting in the army, was a little surprised when he heard the news: "Jingguo people are brave, are you sure it's artillery?"
"I'm sure, the sound is the same as thunder. It is reported that this Jing army has a large number of people, with a strength of about 20,000. After occupying Lingyuan Crossing, it has already marched towards Fucheng." A Jin general said, looking at it from time to time.
He looked at Liu Yanran who was standing aside.
Only this woman can deal with the enemy's artillery, and she may take action again.
Xiao Jin also looked at Liu Yanran, "In the previous battle, Jingjun's artillery suffered heavy losses, and there was no sign of artillery in the subsequent battles."
"Either these artillery pieces are reserved by Jingguo, or the only possibility is that they can be supported by Qianguo."
Someone said, "With the supervisory troops here, all the artillery is just scrap metal."
The speaker was Zuo Tianque who was standing behind Liu Yanran.
He came here with Xia Jun and had no other ideas, just one word.
Safety!
Liu Yanran's side is the safest place in the world, so he came.
In order to save Liu Yanran, he was crippled by Zhao Kang. He was only half a step away from the second level. Now he has become a cripple.
Naturally, she wanted to find a thigh to protect her, and Liu Yanran was the best choice. No matter what, it saved her life.
And these legs are thick and big enough.
Liu Yanran raised her head and looked at the Jin soldier who was delivering the order, "How many artillery pieces are there?"
The latter hurriedly said, "Return to my lord, it is reported that there are about thirty gates."
"Too little." Liu Yanran said.
Xiao Jin understood what Liu Yanran meant. The number of more than thirty artillery pieces was too few. She wanted to defeat Jing's army in one go like last time.
Xiao Jin immediately ordered, "Let the soldiers of Fucheng abandon the city and move."
Facing the artillery, except for Liu Yanran, none of them had a good way to deal with it, so there was only one way to deal with it, which was to run away.
After all, cannons are bulky and can still run away as long as there is enough distance.
The Jin general took the order and left.
Xiao Jin said at this time, "Jing Guo suddenly took action and deployed artillery. In addition, judging from the recent trends, he is going to fight a final battle with us. This sudden confidence is worrying."
Liu Yanran said calmly, "That's why I want to see it again."
Before she finished speaking, another Jin soldier came running in, "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu, Xu City has been attacked by the enemy and has been lost."
"Xucheng?"
Both Liu Yanran and Xiao Jin's eyes fell on the map, and the latter sneered, "It seems to be exactly what we guessed."
The soldier hurriedly said, "According to the battle report, the enemy also dispatched artillery, with a strength of about 10,000."
Liu Yanran said at this time, "I probably understand what the enemy commander wants to do. They are afraid, so they disperse their troops and equip artillery."
"Lengthening the front and cutting the battlefield
Attack from multiple fronts, hoping to take advantage of the lethality of artillery to eat away at us."
"This is indeed a good way to deal with you." Xiao Jin said.
No matter how good Liu Yanran is, she cannot instantly transfer her body to support various battlefields.
Use a small number of people equipped with a certain number of artillery to cut up the battlefield, and wait for you, Liu Yanran, to destroy the people here.
The people on the other side who had been bombarded by Jing Jun were thrown off their backs.
Xiao Jin understood this and couldn't help but admire him. The enemy's coach this time was very smart and difficult to deal with.
And Liu Yanran's beautiful eyes also showed a little hesitation, not sure if the person she thought of was coming.
After all, some veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time can also do this kind of tactical arrangement.
After thinking for a while, she finally said, "Kill the prisoners everywhere and gather the troops."
"You plan to gather their scattered artillery pieces?" Xiao Jin asked. .??.
They have laid down so many chassis, so naturally they have to divide their troops to garrison them. By gathering their forces, Jingjun's artillery will eventually be gathered together.
"Try them. If the captives are killed, some people won't be able to sit still." Liu Yanran said.
If it was really that person, he would never be led by him. He might have a better way to force himself to fight him head-on.
…
In the first three days, Jingguo's offensive achieved considerable results.
Successful reports came from all sides, and the seventeen cities occupied by the enemy were easily recaptured.
But as the enemy troops abandoned the city and gathered their forces to join forces, the attacking Jing army also faced a choice.
It is unrealistic to continue to have 10,000 people pushing 20 or 30 artillery pieces to attack the main force of the enemy who are on guard.
Because of the powerful lethality of artillery, Xiao Jin had done it several times before Liu Yanran came.
response.
Seize the favorable location where artillery formations can be built, attract the infantry from the front, and then use the cavalry to move at high speed to attack from the side, and we have achieved several victories.
After all, once the cavalry rushes forward, the cannon will be useless.
Either gather forces to attack Rongguan where the enemy's main force is currently stationed, or continue to advance to occupy those cities that have been abandoned by the enemy.
However, what Liu Yanran didn't expect was that Jing Jun actually joined forces.
The combined force of more than a dozen groups has more than 100,000 troops and more than 600 artillery pieces.
It's hard for you to hold on even if you pass the city wall for half an hour.
In forty days and months, when all the troops were assembled, they were less than thirty miles away from Rongguan.
The generals who had captured various cities in the past few days gathered together to look at the people who wanted to stay here as bait.
They didn't say anything, and chose to quietly retreat with their troops, taking control of all the cities closest to Rongguan, waiting for the follow-up troops.
The latter also said nothing and just looked in the direction of Rongguan.
It would be foolish not to do this business in exchange for Jingguo's great victory.
When Xiao Jin and Liu Yanran got the news, Liu Yanran immediately rushed to Rongguan without hesitation.
On the first day, a hundred cannons fired in unison and directly blew up the city of Rongguan.
The Jin people, Qi people and Xia troops in the pass rushed out like locusts without the slightest fear.
Because riding at the front is a woman who can bring miracles...
Chuzhou.
Zhao Kang stood up and rubbed his face. Next to him was the latest battle report, which only had four words.
Rongguan is gone.
The 40,000-strong army carried hundreds of artillery pieces, and all of them were killed in one day!
