At this time, the roar of firearms continued to explode on the battlefield, making people's eardrums feel raw pain.
There was the roar of artillery everywhere, and the soldiers who had been charging together just now might turn around and turn into black coals lying on the ground wailing.
At this time, many soldiers even began to complain about why the quality of their Zhao country's armor was so good. If the quality were any worse, they would have died happily. But it is a pity that they are in pain now, but they just can't die. But you
If there are too many people behind you, they can trample you to death.
Just when the Zhao army was desperate enough, they saw jars of kerosene hitting the ground and bursting into flames.
The Zhao army, which had already realized something was wrong and wanted to run back, had its only escape route blocked. For a while, the cries and desperate screams after being hit by firearms could not be heard.
But these sounds were soon covered up by the roar of the next round of firearms. The catapults were constantly adjusting their range. Except for the fast-flowing moat, no matter where the Zhao troops were hiding, it was not absolutely safe.
In the first round of charge, the Zhao army suffered tens of thousands of injuries, and a large part of these injuries were actually caused by the Zhao army's own trampling.
Jiang Hong on the watchtower looked at the battlefield that had turned into a sea of fire and even forgot to give the order to retreat.
Eunuch Bai was also stunned. In his heart, firearms were also invincible.
Finally, the deputy general came to his senses first and greeted quickly: "Quick! Ming Jin withdraws his troops! Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
Of course, the troops behind that have not fallen into the sea of fire can withdraw, but the Zhao army that has fallen into the sea of fire cannot withdraw no matter what.
If they want to retreat, they have to walk through the sea of fire, but under the sea of fire is kerosene, and once it is contaminated, they will be burned.
So they could only watch the troops outside retreat, but their hearts were filled with despair.
But at this moment, voices urging surrender came from the tower.
You must know that firearms have long since broken down the psychological defenses of these people. After hearing the slogans persuading them to surrender on the tower, they were all willing to surrender.
There may be a way to survive if you surrender, but if you don't surrender, you will either be burned to death or injured by thunder and then trampled to death.
They are still willing to take a chance on this chance of survival.
So at Shuzhou's request, these Zhao soldiers took off their armor one after another, threw away their weapons, and finally entered the city and became surrendered troops.
Then there will be specialized people to recover these armors, and then change them into armor for their rebels.
Now that Shuzhou's military strength is insufficient, these surrendered troops can become their soldiers with a little training.
The addition of these surrendered troops will undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the rebel army.
As for the combat effectiveness of these surrendered troops?
Doesn't it depend on who practices whether the combat ability is good or not?
Zhao Guo Daying
Originally, Jiang Hong wanted to ask Eunuch Bai to observe how they recaptured Shuzhou City, but now he only saw countless damages to the Zhao army.
The two returned to the big tent without saying a word. After Eunuch Bai sat down and drank some tea to calm down his shock, he couldn't help but ask: "General, you have recovered so much lost territory, are these rebels useless?"
Handled a firearm once?”
After all, Eunuch Bai had been accompanying him for many years. After suppressing his shock, he quickly started asking questions.
If these rebels had used firearms earlier, Jiang Hong would definitely have described them when delivering the victory report, but so far there is no description of firearms, and the tactics written above are also conventional tactics.
After Jiang Hong heard Eunuch Bai's question, he shook his head and said, "Never before. This is also the first time I have seen rebels using firearms."
Of course, they can't see it anymore. In the past, they could occupy the empty city without any soldiers or soldiers.
But now the victory reports have been handed in. The whole article talks about how brave they were and how tenacious the enemy's resistance was. They also regained the lost ground after spending all their efforts. But now, at a glance, they have
There is a huge amount of firearms, so why do people have to fight with you with their lives when you regain lost territory?
As the saying goes, after telling a lie, you have to use countless lies to cover it up. Now Jiang Hong has reached the time when he needs to cover up his lies.
So Jiang Hong quickly said: "Eunuch Bai, could it be like this? The enemy army deliberately lured them deeper, so..."
Eunuch Bai looked at Jiang Hong and said, "General, are you going to use such an excuse to respond to His Majesty's questioning? Even if His Majesty was an army of saints and virtues who cherished peace in the past, your Majesty can still understand some of the wars due to the continuous wars.
The basic truth is that the good news submitted by the general was how powerful the enemy army was. Our army spent a lot of effort to wipe it out. Now the general is saying that the enemy army is to lure the enemy deeper into the city? Are they pretending to defend the city?
Can the army that lures the enemy have the combat effectiveness as written in the general’s battle report?!”
"This...this..." Jiang Hong was speechless at this time. At this time, Jiang Hong's heart was already full of regret. If he hadn't boasted too much at the beginning, how could he not even tell the lie now?
So difficult.
Jiang Hong was a military commander. Although he was very happy with his achievements, he was not very good at words and eloquence. However, an eloquent person was right in front of him at this moment, so Jiang Hong quickly raised his hand and said, "Please give me some advice, father-in-law..."
Eunuch Bai coughed and said, "This is going to be very difficult for our family. We can't deceive Shengting! Otherwise, wouldn't we become a traitor... Sigh~~"
Upon seeing this, Jiang Hong quickly took out several large-denomination banknotes and handed them over.
When Eunuch Bai saw the banknote, he immediately took it away calmly, and then said with a stern face: "How dare the Chu State provide firearms to the rebels! When we return to the court, we must inform your majesty.
Officials all over the world condemn it together!"
Jiang Hong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Eunuch Bai's words. He is indeed someone who has been around His Majesty all year round!
Now that I know this lie can’t be told, I simply don’t tell it anymore!
He directly changed the topic and started to denounce the Chu State, and also called on the people all over the world to denounce the Chu State together!
In this case, who would care about battle reports?
Eunuch Bai quickly went to write a memorial and submit it to His Majesty, while Jiang Hong went to appease the soldiers.
The power of this firearm caused them to lose at least tens of thousands of troops, and their morale was seriously low.
Of course, the situation in Shuzhou City is exactly the opposite of that in the Zhao army camp outside the city. The morale of the troops in Shuzhou City is unprecedentedly high at this moment, and they are waiting for the next round of attack by the Zhao army!
