On the southern border of the Daji Dynasty, a "small-scale" battle was going on. The two parties combined only had a few thousand people.
The two armies went through some pre-battle negotiations, which were nothing more than a meaningless dialogue asking the other side to surrender quickly, and naturally there was no result.
The negotiations were fruitless, and the two sides began to fight. One side was neatly dressed and mighty, holding the flag of the Southern Army of the Great Chi Dynasty, beating drums and shouting, and was furious for nine days. Although the other side did not have such bright armor, there were more people.
From an outsider's perspective, it's not bad.
The Southern Army only had less than 2,000 men, but there were 5,000 on the opposite side. Their strength was more than doubled. Although they had an advantage in terms of armor and weapons, the battle would not go smoothly. This was the opinion of everyone watching.
However, after the battle, the battle situation turned out to be unexpectedly one-sided.
There is no other reason. The Southern Army of the Daji Dynasty is already equipped with long-range firearms, such as dragon spears, fire spears and the like, and even red cannons that can fire ten miles away.
This type of firearm is extremely powerful and can greatly affect the outcome of a war. It is a secret that is not passed down in the military. The other party is just a small country in the south, with a county as big as one hundred thousand people. How could they know this?
Even with the wealth of the Southern Army, not everyone in the South Army can be equipped with firearms, and not even one out of ten people may be equipped with firearms. However, once such time-breaking weapons are used, the small country's army is completely unable to resist and fight back.
Like white thunder in the blue sky, it exploded among the soldiers, killing and wounding countless people. Fortunately, there were no casualties, ranging from deafness to messy limbs.
The scene was as bloody as a confrontation with cold weapons, and the speed of the slaughter was even worse.
After several rounds of artillery fire, the birds and beasts on the opposite side were already scattered. Originally, these soldiers had never thought about really going to war with the previous court. They just heard from the nobles in the country that the taxes collected by the previous court were far better than those on the previous night.
Organize yourself and scare them so that you can pay less tax. Who knows, it could be a life-threatening job.
The two thousand people of the Daji Dynasty's southern army took advantage of the situation and killed them. Those who surrendered were in vain. Almost everyone discarded their weapons and crawled on the ground. After that, this army did not rest, gathered the surrendered troops, made some arrangements, and continued to go south to prepare.
Capture the capital of a small country in one fell swoop.
Rather than saying that they are confident, it is better to say that they are extremely arrogant and so reckless that they incorporate the surrender of troops into their own combat system.
Then, this force came outside the capital, and first sent out troops to recruit surrender, but to no avail. It clearly had a sharp siege weapon - the red cannon, but it was abandoned and the troops were used as cannon fodder to fill the city with sand.
Of course, there is no need to be harsh. After all, firearms are precious. The price of a cannonball is much more precious than the lives of several soldiers. Why use artillery when you can rely on human lives to fill it? It is a waste.
Arrows rained down from the city. This time, they almost escaped death. Many of the soldiers who surrendered became resistant, and then they suppressed them.
There was internal chaos. Perhaps the southern army of the Daji Dynasty did not expect that the army of a small country defending the city would have the courage to come out.
There were internal and external troubles, and the battlefield was as chaotic as a pot of porridge. The invincible firearms of the Confederate army were completely useless in such scenes because they could easily accidentally injure one's own people. After a fight, the team of two thousand people
Half of them were damaged and they had to leave in despair. If the artillery hadn't been in the distance, even the precious artillery would have been lost. This would be a crime worthy of beheading.
The commander of the Confederate army, who saw the chaos and defeat, became angry and ordered his artillery to be aimed at the untouchables of the small country who did not know how to live or die, and fired all the shells.
The commander of the Confederate army is a captain of ten thousand men. Yes, you heard it right, he is a captain of ten thousand men. However, he only has 2,000 men under his command. Even if there are rarely full troops in the army, it is extremely rare to have 80% of the vacancies.
.
This man wears a black gold helmet, which reflects the bright sun; he wears a soap robe, fluttering in the wind. He wears black iron armor and tight leather straps; he wears flower pleated boots, and he is as majestic as an admiral. His waist is wide, and he is one foot tall.
A knife with a bright edge.
The equipment was good, but it had no use. From the beginning to the end, the commander did not go to the battlefield, but stayed by the artillery, ready for fire support at any time.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to claim credit and reward in front of the King of Jin, but he did not expect that he would make such a big joke out of a bad start. How could he give up and order the soldiers to set up artillery, regardless of whether there were still soldiers who had not escaped from the chaos of the battle?
Especially those soldiers in the rear.
There were only three artillery pieces in total, but when they fired, fire snakes surged out of the barrels, unstoppable. The artillery shells hit the tower, causing sparks and wood and rocks to fly. They hit the crowd, causing people to fall over and avoid them.
Unable to retreat, numerous casualties occurred.
For a moment, black clouds covered the ground, and red flames flew into the sky. Ten thousand golden snakes were quenched, and thousands of fire lumps were scattered. The strong wind helped, and the carved beams and painted buildings stopped for a while; the flames rose into the sky, and the high halls of the buildings disappeared in a snap.
After firing hundreds of cannonballs in a row, there was a brief pause because the cannonballs were empty. In fact, if you had not thought about saving cannonballs at the beginning, you would not have fallen into such a predicament. It was all the trouble you brought upon yourself.
Who can be blamed?
This small-scale war eventually ended with the retreat of the Confederate army, but if viewed from an outsider's perspective, it would reveal something strange and fantastic no matter what.
If this small country has a dispute with the Daji Dynasty, it is because the Daji Dynasty wants the country to pay more taxes. As long as it does not exceed the limit, it will be given if it can be paid.
Anyway, any discerning person now knows that as the end of the election system is getting closer, several princes are trying every means to improve their prestige. It will be fine just waiting until this storm has passed. At this time, it is absolutely impossible to have a dispute with the Daji Dynasty.
Not a good choice.
If it really can't be used, it won't go to the point of fighting each other. A small country with a population of less than 100,000 faces this battle, which has almost exhausted the country's energy and blood, and nearly 10% of the people have gone into battle to charge.
And there were countless people who cheered afterward.
For the Daji Dynasty, it may not even be able to enter the emperor's desk. It is just a border conflict, but for a small country, this is a national war. Once it fails, there will be no consequences. Who is it?
This king had the courage to dare to challenge the prestige of the Daji Dynasty.
Of course, the reason for this was that Wu Yi, who was watching on the sidelines, had a clear background, because there was Taotie in this city. The king of the small country saw Taotie and worshiped him as a god. Everything Taotie said was regarded as a standard, so it happened.
Such an incredible thing comes.
If Wu Yi hadn't followed Taotie's scent and came here, he might not have been able to discover the weirdness in it.
