On the fourth day of February, Song Yang, who had been waiting for five days, finally received the news that the Raozhou brothers had entered Jiangzhou.
Liu Huairen was quite embarrassed about this. He had previously said that the Raozhou brothers could arrive in three days.
It seems that these two products are still overestimated!
The exploration of horses comes one after another.
The movements of Raozhou soldiers were clearly traced.
But Raozhou soldiers did not understand the situation in Duchang at all.
Their scouting horses only move about a mile away, and the spies work very casually.
When you are tired from walking, you lie down to sleep. When you wake up, you turn around and go back to report that you have found nothing...
After learning about this situation, Song Yang once doubted whether these two guys were members of the old Song family.
From Song Chengwang to Song Mao, as well as the princes who acted as protons, all of them looked very shrewd.
Even if Song Yang is not optimistic about Songying, the king of Hongzhou, he is just not optimistic about it.
But these two in Raozhou...maybe can only be described as weird.
The next day, Raozhou soldiers finally arrived at the front of the fortifications.
The confrontation between the two armies finally officially began.
"Jiangzhou kid! For the sake of your fellow clansmen, surrender immediately!"
"Yes! Surrender immediately! Otherwise the army will be launched and you will be destroyed in an instant!"
Before Song Yang could say anything, brothers Song Kuo and Song Yu had already started calling for formation.
Song Yang wiped his face, slapped his mouth, and then waved his hand to Song Chengwang who was far ahead.
I don’t want to talk nonsense with the other party...
"Prepare air burst bombs!"
"ignition!"
When the war came, Song Chengwang was still calm. His heartbeat had soared to 150 beats, but he could still give orders step by step.
The first wave of shelling used airburst bombs, which actually contained only gunpowder and no projectiles.
It would be good if the two brothers from Raozhou could be frightened into surrendering. They could defeat the enemy without fighting and reduce unnecessary casualties.
"Zizzizi~"
Thirty squatting tiger cannons were ignited together.
"Boom boom boom!"
Suddenly there was a loud roar of gunfire.
"Ah! Thunder!"
"Monsters! They have monsters!"
As expected, the Raozhou camp was frightened by the sound of artillery and was thrown into chaos.
Brothers Song Kuo and Song Yu even fell off their horses.
It took a while for the two brothers to realize that although the noise was quite loud, there were no casualties.
Moreover, Jiangzhou soldiers were not seen rushing over.
"Brother, are they bluffing?"
"Well...that's right! It must be a trick. He knows we can't win and wants to scare us away!"
"Don't move! They are just pretending!"
"No messing around, I will chop anyone who messes around!"
It took the two Raozhou brothers almost half an hour to organize their team.
Song Chengwang had enough time to replace the soldiers with solid bullets.
"Hmph! You know you're outmatched and you want to pretend to be a ghost? You've pissed me off!" Song Kuo shouted loudly.
"Song Yang, son! Come here quickly and kneel down to beg for mercy. I will give you a happy life!" Song Kuo pointed at the Jiangzhou soldiers and yelled.
Song Chengwang's eyes narrowed, "How dare you scold me, Uncle Wang? It seems you don't want to live anymore."
"Team one! Target the one that screams loudest!"
"The second team and the third team, attack their military formation!"
"Prepare!"
"ignition!"
Song Chengwang gave an order, and Song Kuo was targeted by the Shimen Tiger Crouching Cannon.
The accuracy of the Crouching Tiger Cannon is not very good, but if ten of them hit a target at the same time, doesn't the accuracy increase by ten times?
"Boom boom boom!"
There was another burst of cannon fire.
Song Kuo forced himself to remain calm this time and sat on the horse without moving.
"Haha! Are you still here? I think they are so out of their depth!"
"Brothers, here you go..."
Before Song Kuo finished speaking, he saw several black spots flying over in the distance.
That speed is impossible to avoid.
"Huhu~"
As the black dot approached, Song Kuo seemed to see it clearly. It seemed like an iron ball?
"Can an iron ball fly so fast?"
"puff!"
Song Kuo could no longer think about it anymore.
He now has to rush to the Palace of Purity to report...
The effect of the ten salvoes was obvious, and two guns hit the target...
In fact, it's pretty good. From a distance of more than 100 meters, it's pretty accurate if it can hit two shots.
"Wow!"
Seeing Song Kuo's watermelon smashed to pieces, Song Yu beside him vomited.
"The general is dead!"
"The general is dead!"
"What should I do? Rush over and fight them!"
"Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!"
"No! We want to avenge the general! Charge!"
As soon as Song Kuo died, Raozhou soldiers were in chaos again, and Song Yu's generals directly pulled Song Yu back.
Song Kuo's cronies wanted to rush forward to avenge Song Kuo.
There was a lot of pushing and shoving and there was even a stampede.
"Replace with bombs!"
"Prepare!"
"Fire!"
Seeing some of the stubborn Raozhou soldiers rushing over, Song Chengwang didn't show any politeness.
Directly bloom and serve.
There was a burst of cannon fire, and a large area of Raozhou soldiers who rushed to fifty or sixty meters were swept down.
A round of shelling by thirty Tiger Crouching Cannons caused at least 70 to 80 casualties.
"Second Battalion prepare!"
The thirty artillery pieces in the second row had already been loaded with explosive shells, and they were waiting for Song Chengwang's order to fire again.
"If you don't want to die, just kneel down where you are!" Song Chengwang shouted.
Raozhou soldiers, who were knocked unconscious by a volley of artillery fire, heard the shout and fell to their knees in fright.
With the first there is the second.
Song Kuo's elite, who just thought of charging into battle, immediately fell apart.
"This..." The envoys from various states watching the battle from a distance were dumbfounded.
Is this battle going too fast?
Kill the general in one run, and kill him with two rounds of explosive ammunition...
Although the combat effectiveness of Raozhou soldiers was indeed not very good, the crowd looked down upon them both.
But the actual combat effect of the Tiger Crouching Cannon is also good.
In the three designs just now, the Crouching Tiger Cannon was not messy at all. Every time a cannon was fired, the Crouching Tiger Cannon in the front row would be pulled by the horses and pulled to the rear.
The formation basically remained stable, and it also maintained a safe distance from the enemy in front.
"Invincible! Invincible!"
The envoys expressed their feelings one after another, and their awe for Song Yang sublimated again.
Test artillery and actual combat are completely different. Song Kuo was bombed to death. This kind of just feeling makes people more confidant.
"Renaissance Army, advance!"
The Renaissance Army waiting next to the Tiger Crouching Artillery Battalion in front was impatient. Ma Cheng gave an order and the Renaissance Army began to move forward.
Anyone who dares to resist will be eliminated directly.
This is how the battle began to end.
Not even the trenches were used.
Song Yang has tried his best to look down on the Raozhou brothers, but these two guys have refreshed Song Yang's reputation again and again...
"Weak and uninterested!" Song Yang shook his head, turned around and walked away.
"Look at the courage of the prince!"
"Yes! Defying all enemies is indeed the demeanor of a king!"
"From now on, we must follow closely behind the prince and build great causes together!"
The messengers' horses beat so loudly that Song Yang didn't want to listen anymore...
The final work of the battle took a whole day.
There is no way, too many people have surrendered.
The Fuxing Army from Duchang was even mobilized to help.
It wasn't until the next morning that the results were tallied.
Raozhou soldiers had 207 dead and 1,980 injured.
Ninety-three of them died and more than 1,700 were injured due to a stampede during the escape...
In the end, more than 16,000 prisoners were captured!
