Kou Ji gave the order, and the artillery showed its ferocious side.
The tongue of flames spitting out from the cannon's muzzle illuminated the hills red.
The sound of the cannon was deafening, echoing for a long time in the endless wilderness.
The ground shook with the roar of artillery.
The eyes of all creatures in the wilderness are attracted by the artillery.
Meile rushed towards the patrolling horse guards with her iron kite, their faces reddened by the tongues of fire on the hill.
Mei Le, who was full of confidence, had a flash of fear in her eyes.
Before he could react, the cannonball had already fallen into the iron kite.
The iron kites are connected with iron ropes and charge on the battlefield, hopeless and disadvantageous.
But under the attack of artillery shells, the iron rope became their life-threatening weapon.
"Bang bang bang..."
They were connected by iron ropes, and without the help of auxiliary soldiers, they had no way to dismantle the iron ropes.
The cannonballs fell on the ground, breaking the legs of the horses and knocking them off their backs.
The cannonball landed on the iron rope they were connected to, and instantly broke the iron rope.
The shrapnel mixed with the broken iron wires flew freely, becoming a perfect weapon to strangle them.
The iron kite wears scale armor to defend against swords, spears, swords and halberds, which is hopeless and disadvantageous.
But it is difficult to resist the attacks of shell fragments and broken iron from iron cables.
A volley of artillery fire was fired from the hill, and the artillery fired everywhere in the iron kite formation.
Gaps were blown out one after another in the Iron Kites' charging formation.
Mei Le's cheek was scratched by shrapnel, and his armor was ripped off by shrapnel. He stared at his bare head and rushed forward angrily.
The artillery attack was beyond his knowledge.
All he wanted now was to rush in front of the patrolling horse guard and hack the patrolling horse guard to death in order to regain his position.
He couldn't retreat.
Because the charging heavy armored cavalry must not retreat when encountering a strong enemy head-on.
The leader of the Yeli tribe was very decisive.
After the sound of the cannon, when the soldiers and horses panicked, they decisively abandoned part of the rangers and led the other rangers to flee from the two wings and out of the battlefield.
"put!"
Kou Ji gave the order again.
The servants of the Kou Mansion fired again.
The formation of the Iron Kites was bombarded and became even more chaotic.
How many iron kites fell on the way to charge, there is no time to count.
The fish scale formation of Tie Yaozi that can be seen with the naked eye has turned into a completely different formation.
Tie Yaozi paid a huge price and finally rushed in front of the patrolling horse guard.
However.
What the Iron Kites didn't expect was that the patrolling horse guard made a move that stunned them.
When the horse guard rushed towards Tie Yao, he did not rush towards him at all.
Instead, they decisively reined in their horses, changed the rear team into the front team, and rushed back.
During the cavalry battle.
Acting like this is not much different from committing suicide.
When cavalry is fighting, a strong enemy rushes in front of us. Only by facing them up can we have a chance of survival.
Avoiding and running away will only leave your descendants to the enemy.
Let others slaughter you.
However, the patrolling horse guards knew that what they were doing was unreasonable, but they did not hesitate.
"put!"
On the hill.
Kou Ji gave the order for the third time.
The sound of artillery sounded again.
"roar!!"
Mei Le roared angrily amidst the sound of artillery, and led the iron kite to rush forward after the footsteps of the patrolling horse guards.
If the patrolling horse guards are looking for death, then he will send the patrolling horse guards to die.
As for the artillery...
He knew that artillery was powerful, but he had no way to deal with it, so he could only ignore it for the time being.
The enemy's artillery was placed on the hill.
There are many shrubs around the hill.
Under the mountain, there are elite soldiers of the Song Army and tens of thousands of civilians armed with swords and guns.
They couldn't reach the location of the artillery.
"Dangdangdang..."
Meile caught up with a patrolling horse guard and slashed at him with the scimitar in his hand.
In two breaths, he slashed three times.
Each knife was made with 100% of the strength.
But the scimitar in his hand was very different from the armor materials worn by the patrolling horse guards.
With three swords, he only cut off the chainmail armor of the patrolling horse guards.
But it did not cause effective damage to the patrolling horse guards.
The knife in his hand was made of iron and was several times better than an ordinary scimitar.
He still needed to slash three times before he could break through the chainmail armor worn by the patrolling horse guards.
Others may take longer.
"Pfft..."
Meile took the knife and stabbed it into the body of the patrolling horse guard, causing the patrolling horse guard to fall off his horse.
"Bang bang bang..."
An explosion sounded behind him, and the sharp shrapnel pierced into his flesh, awakening the somewhat irrational girl.
Mei Le subconsciously looked back at her subordinates.
A pair of eyes were wide open, filled with fear.
Two thousand iron kites.
There are only more than 1,400 people who can still follow him closely.
Only a few of them were intact.
Some people were covered in blood, some lost their arms, some lost their legs, and some were disgraced and covered in scars.
There are also people who are dead, but their bodies are tied to the horses and they did not fall off the horses.
Tieyaozi has never suffered such a huge loss since its establishment.
Mei Le has realized that she made a mistake.
The sharpness of the artillery was beyond his imagination and beyond his knowledge.
When the enemy's firearms roared, he should not have charged with his iron kites.
If the enemy's heavy armored cavalry dared to make low-level mistakes in front of him, it means that they made low-level mistakes for a purpose.
The enemy's purpose is to use heavy armored cavalry to hold them back, and then use firearms to destroy them.
The iron kite is brave.
They will not retreat without Meile's order.
So even though they had paid a huge price, they still followed Meile without any regrets.
"retreat……"
Mei Le roared with tears in her eyes.
He felt very guilty in his heart. If he had not been conceited and had not underestimated his enemy, Iron Harrier would not have had to pay such a painful price.
He realized that under the attack of firearms, there was no way the Iron Kites could win. If they continued to charge forward and were entangled by the enemy, perhaps all the Iron Kites would die.
If Tie Yaozi is really dead, then he will be Xixia's sinner.
He decisively gave the order to retreat.
The kites on horseback were stunned for a moment, then quickly divided into two large groups, detoured from both sides, ran out and retreated.
However.
The roar of artillery on the hill did not stop.
After Kou Ji issued the order to fire several volleys of artillery fire, he ordered the servants of Kou Mansion to fire freely.
Kou Ji's order was to shoot out all the artillery shells brought this time.
Then the servants of the Kou Mansion will not have any hesitation.
The servants of the Kou Mansion can argue with Liu Heng, Zhang Yuan and others because of the preciousness of the cannonballs.
But he would never say no in front of Kou Ji.
Artillery shells exploded all over the battlefield.
The iron kites and the cavalry of the Yeli tribe who retreated away from the battlefield paid a heavy price.
The Iron Kites retreated, and the Yeli tribe cavalry retreated.
Meile did not retreat.
He drew out his two knives, burst into tears and roared towards the horse guard.
"Song people! I want you to die!"
The iron kites can retreat, and the cavalry of the Yeli tribe can retreat.
He can't retreat.
Tie Yaozi's losses in this battle were all due to his underestimation of the enemy.
He wanted to avenge those dead Iron Kites.
He has to pay the price for his underestimation of the enemy.
It is far better to rush forward and die in battle than to die of humiliation after he retreats.
The horse guards had already rushed back to where they originally stayed.
I saw Sister rushing over.
The leader of the patrolling horse guards restrained the other patrolling horse guards who were about to rush out, snorted coldly, "I'll go meet him..."
The leader of the patrolling horse guard grabbed his big sword, rode up to meet Meile, and fought fiercely with Meile.
Meile's martial arts skills are far superior to the leader of the patrolling horse guards.
The moment the leader of the patrol horse guards faced Meile, he realized that he had underestimated the enemy. However, he relied on the strength of his armor and barely managed to survive Meile's attack.
It took three or four rounds.
"Bang!"
There was a gunshot.
Meile's head exploded with a bloody hole in front of the leader of the patrolling horse guards.
A warrior who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years died in such a humiliating manner on the battlefield.
Hot blood spurted on the face of the leader of the patrolling horse guard.
The leader of the patrol horse guard was stunned on the spot.
Subconsciously raising his hand to wipe the hot blood on his face, he stared back and roared: "Chen Datou, who gave you the order to shoot?"
When two people are clashing with each other, Chen Datou is the only one who can accurately open the head of one of them without hurting the other person. Among the entire patrol of horse guards, only Chen Datou can do it.
Chen Datou shrank his neck amidst the angry roar of the patrolling horse guard leader.
"The young master's order has come down... let us prepare to charge... rush into Shazhou City while protecting the food transport team..."
The leader of the patrol horse guard opened his mouth several times to curse, but in the end no curse came out.
For a person who likes to fight on the battlefield, it is very gratifying to find a strong opponent, and it is also very happy to defeat a strong enemy.
Now, before he could finish the battle, the enemy's head was smashed, and he felt a little unhappy.
But no one can refute Kou Ji's order, no one can refuse it.
Even if he felt unhappy, he had to hold it in.
On the hill.
Kou Ji looked at Tie Yaozi, and after the Yeli tribe's cavalry withdrew from the battlefield, he narrowed his eyes slightly and got off the hill.
The servants of the Kou Mansion, with the cooperation of the civilian husbands, quickly used warm water to cool down the artillery.
The reason why icy cold water is not used is to prevent the artillery from exploding when exposed to cold water.
After the temperature cooled down, they used slender poles to carry the artillery down the hill and quickly loaded it into the truck.
The civilian husbands were driving away the prisoners and had already pushed the carts transporting food in preparation for action.
After Kou Ji got off the hill, he looked solemnly to the patrol horse guards, the Japanese soldiers, the civilian leaders and others and ordered: "The previous war was just an appetizer, the real war has just begun...
From now on all the way to Shazhou City, the ranks of civilians are not allowed to stop...
Even if the enemies rush towards you, you are not allowed to stop..."
Kou Ji looked at everyone and said coldly: "Whoever stops, I will kill!"
Kou Ji gave the order to kill his own people for the first time.
Everyone's hearts trembled.
Kou Ji continued: "A thousand heavy armors are clearing the way in front... The remaining heavy armors, in cooperation with the Japanese army, guard both sides of the team escorting the baggage..."
"Remember! If you fall behind, you will die! No one is allowed to rescue you!"
"If you get entangled, you will die! No one is allowed to rescue you!"
"We must rush to Shazhou City as quickly as possible!"
"..."
The leader of the patrolling horse guards, Gao Yi, and the leader of the civilian husbands all agreed.
"Rush over!"
Kou Ji gave the order.
The leader of the patrolling horse guards tightly grasped the knife in his hand and rushed out first with a thousand patrolling horse guards.
The target is directly at Shazhou City.
The remaining 1,000 pieces of armor, together with the Japanese soldiers who had already sat on horseback and turned into cavalry, were divided into ten-man squads and guarded both sides of the vehicle.
The civilian husbands drove the prisoners away and drove the carriages with all their strength to keep up with the heavy armored riders who rushed out.
The other side.
After the Iron Kites retreated to Yeli Yuqi, they stared with scarlet eyes, very angry.
Back and forth.
There were less than a thousand Iron Kites left who could fight, and almost all of them were injured.
The other iron kites, even if they are alive, have lost their combat effectiveness.
No one had the time to count how many horses were lost and how many heavy armors were blown up.
Langya Yuyi stared at Yeli Yuqi in humiliation and said: "Sister, let him..."
When Mei Le rode into the battle alone, they were escaping in the direction of the hill.
Now that he has withdrawn from the battlefield, when he looks back, Mei Le has disappeared.
Lang Nai Yu Yi had already guessed the fate of some sisters, but he still couldn't help but ask Ye Li Yu Qi.
Ye Li Yu Qi had not yet recovered from the roar of the artillery. After hearing Lang Nai Yu Yi's call, he was silent for a long time. When Lang Nai Yu Yi was about to speak again, he heard Ye Li Yu Qi murmur.
He said: "Died in battle..."
When Meile died in the hands of the patrolling horse guards, Yeli Yuqi saw clearly.
Although he had some issues with Meile, he admired Meile very much for the courage he showed before she died.
He didn't say anything unfavorable to Sister.
Although Meile died, he was not sure whether Li Yuanhao would be angry with Meile's tribe after learning about Tie Yaozi's heavy losses.
Lang Nian Yu Yi clenched his fists and lowered his head.
Yeli Yuqi glanced back at the Yeli tribe's rangers who had withdrawn behind him, and his heart was bleeding.
Four thousand people went out and less than a thousand came back.
Nearly three thousand warriors remained on the battlefield.
Three thousand warriors remained on the battlefield, which was a considerable loss for the Yeli tribe, enough to break their muscles and bones.
"Rumble..."
The heavy sound of horse hooves sounded.
Ye Li Yuqi saw the heavy armored cavalry on the opposite side and started to charge. He almost turned his horse's head and left decisively with his warriors.
Seeing this, Lang Nuo Yu Yi clenched the reins of the horse in his hand and said angrily: "Do you want to kill him?"
Obviously.
He has regarded Kou Ji and his party as the place of death for his whole life.
Yeli Yuqi opened his mouth. He wanted to shout loudly and let his men kill him.
But he didn't dare.
"withdraw……"
Ye Li Yu met beggars and hesitated again and again, and turned away from Lang Dao Yu.
Lang Nian Yu Yi stared in shock and shouted angrily: "We have killed so many brothers, so let them go like this?"
Ye Li Yuqi said in a deep voice: "Then what do you want? Fight them head-on? It's not like you haven't fought before. The firearms in the opponent's hands are very powerful and extremely lethal. I have warned you a long time ago, but you haven't.
One person cares.
Now that you have suffered a big loss at the hands of the other party, are you starting to yell at me?"
