One by one, the mortars were quickly in position.
Compared to the range of cannons, the range of mortars was further and more powerful. After all, mortars were the latest weapons developed by Xia Xia, and their explosive power was even stronger.
The soldiers under Du Qi's command were all professional soldiers who had been trained to assemble weapons.
One by one, they quickly divided the work.
In the shortest amount of time, they completed the assembly of the mortars and formed a combat force. Boxes of cannonballs were all in place, and the task was completed in a short time.
Zhang Pu, the general in charge of the artillery, came to Liu Che's side and bowed. "Minister Liu, all our mortars are in place. First, ask if we should immediately fire the cannons. Second, if we should assemble another part and aim at the army behind the enemy's running group. "
"Approved!"
Liu Che immediately made the arrangements.
With the help of binoculars, he sized up the situation of Guerha's army.
The enemy's running group was arranged about 400 steps away. They were to bombard Du Qi's camp and the soldiers in the camp. As for Guerha's army, they were in formation behind the running group.
Batch after batch of troops were in formation.
Zhang Pu received the order and immediately turned around to leave. He immediately went to make the arrangements.
In a short time, the arrangements were made.
"Boom!!!"
The artillery under Du Qi's command was the first to fire.
The sound of the cannons was followed by the rumbling sound of the cannons being fired. One by one, the mortars were aimed at the outside of the camp and bombarded. One by one, the cannonballs flew through the air. In the blink of an eye, they were already above Guerha's artillery.
"Get down!"
On the Ming Kingdom's side, the person in charge of the artillery shouted loudly.
With a shout, everyone immediately put down what they were doing and lay on the ground in unison.
This was the only choice.
How could they escape under the bombardment of the cannons?
They could only lie down first and then look for an opportunity to escape.
"Boom!!"
The first cannonball landed on the ground.
"Boom! Boom!!! "
Continuous explosions continued to sound. The entire place where the Ming Kingdom's cannons were located turned into a sea of fire. Under the illumination of the fire, smoke and dust rose everywhere, accompanied by countless screams.
"Boom! Boom!! "
The sound of explosions continued to ring out.
This batch of explosions was not caused by the cannonballs falling. Instead, the cannonballs that were prepared near the cannons were detonated by the falling cannonballs.
The continuous explosions turned the area around the cannons into a sea of flames.
This happened in the blink of an eye.
And the moment the cannons were bombarded, the Ming Nation's army formation a hundred steps behind also had cannonballs falling and exploding. The cannonballs exploded in the crowd, and soldiers were sent flying. The casualties were huge.
Wave after wave of cannonballs exploded, causing countless casualties.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Seeing this, Gu Erha was dumbfounded.
What's going on?
He had just started the battle, and the artillery under his command had just started to set up the cannons, ready to aim and fire. Then, they encountered continuous explosions.
Under the violent explosion, the sound of explosions rose and fell one after another.
It kept ringing out.
One by one, the Ming Nation's soldiers were killed on the spot.
At this time, the Ming army retreated like a swarm of bees. Everyone had lost their fighting spirit and fighting spirit.
They only thought of retreating.
Gu Erha was the same. He quickly retreated, and in a short time, he was already far away from the battlefield. He looked back in the direction of Du Qi's camp. His face was full of reluctance and fear.
They were bombed twice in a row.
Suddenly, Gu Erha's pupils shrank.
There was a hint of panic in his eyes. Gu Erha shouted, "Xia's army is coming. Retreat, retreat quickly!"
At this moment, everyone quickly retreated.
Zhang Ji escorted Gu Erha and retreated quickly.
On the other side, Liu Che led the army in pursuit again.
This time, he was ordered by Du Qi to pursue. When the Ming Nation's soldiers retreated, he charged out. This time, Liu Che's pursuit was stronger. He had cavalry leading the way, and infantry following closely behind.
Clop! Clop!
The sound of hooves kept coming. Liu Che led the army in pursuit.
The army under his command kept rushing forward, and they were getting closer and closer to the front.
When the cavalry led by Liu Che was about to catch up, the cannons at the rear had stopped bombarding. After all, the cannons were no longer useful after the distance widened.
The battlefield was now left to Liu Che.
Du Qi was still in the camp. He did not participate in the battle. Now, he only needed to wait for news.
As Liu Che chased with all his might, the distance was quickly closed. His soldiers caught up. The soldiers under his command kept slashing with their swords. The cavalry attacked, and the rear was a mess.
Those who were killed on the spot were too many to count. Many people immediately knelt and surrendered, no longer resisting. At this point, if they continued to resist, they would be courting death.
Liu Che kept rushing forward, and his speed was getting faster and faster.
The number of people killed by his soldiers was also increasing.
This time, Liu Che didn't charge back and forth. Instead, he led the cavalry forward and slaughtered the Ming Nation's soldiers one by one, beheading batch after batch of Ming Nation's soldiers.
As for those who fled and knelt to surrender, these people were left to the infantry behind.
The cavalry was in charge of the pursuit.
The entire Ming Nation's army that fled gradually began to collapse. They could no longer stabilize the situation.
They were completely panicking.
Guerha led the army and retreated quickly. However, the pursuers behind them were relentless. He looked at Zhang Ji and shouted, "Minister Zhang, the enemy is still chasing. What should we do?"
Zhang Ji immediately said, "Your Majesty, this time, I will lead the troops and directly stop the pursuing enemy. Your Majesty, please retreat first. I will join you later. "
"Minister Zhang, it's been hard on you."
In other words, Guerha wanted Zhang Ji to be the one to block the attack.
Now that Zhang Ji was gone, he was relieved.
Guerha led the soldiers and continued to retreat, while Zhang Ji led the soldiers and stopped where they were. There were more than two thousand soldiers under his command. They were Zhang Ji's direct subordinates.
Zhang Ji shouted, "Boys, now is the time for us to serve the King. Now, fight with me and block the ambush of Xia Xia's army. Protect the King's safety. "
"Kill!"
Zhang Ji ordered.
The soldiers under his command quickly rushed out and went to block the enemy.
This group of soldiers went to block the enemy. In addition, there were soldiers fleeing around. The formation was in chaos. This made Liu Che's pursuers, even though the cavalry was fierce, unable to kill them in a short time.
As a result, the ambush was hindered.
Liu Che shouted that those who surrendered would not be killed. At the same time, he continued to charge forward, intending to kill his way out and catch up with Guerha.
Last time, Guerha managed to escape from the bombardment.
This time, Guerha was going to escape again.
Liu Che was extremely unwilling. However, no matter how Liu Che broke through the encirclement, he was stopped. This made the cavalry under his command unable to catch up with Guerha for a while.
"Kill! Those who resist, kill without mercy!"
Liu Che was furious and ordered loudly.
The duck that was in his hand flew away again. Liu Che's heart was naturally filled with anger.
While he was leading the troops to kill, his gaze suddenly turned and saw Zhang Ji, who was organizing the troops. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he charged toward Zhang Ji.
