On the top of Mt. Datong.
Xia Xia's army's camp was here.
The soldiers on the mountain were all under Yan San's command. However, Yan San had wanted to fight this time. After a few rounds of killing, he didn't succeed. Instead, he suffered a few losses and could only retreat to Mt. Datong.
Yan Three was standing beside Du Qi. He said apologetically, "Your Majesty, I'm useless. I couldn't defeat Wang Tan's army. Instead, we are trapped on the mountain. Your Majesty, please punish me for my negligence. "
Du Qi shook his head and said, "The war has just begun. It's normal that things aren't going well. This time, I took into consideration that you might not be able to advance smoothly. Now, I have brought new soldiers with new weapons. "
Yan Three was still a little disappointed.
No matter what, his debut was a failure. One had to know that this time, it was Liu Che who fought so hard for him to lead the troops alone.
But he had failed.
Yan Three calmed himself down and said, "Your Majesty, what are the new soldiers and weapons this time?"
Du Qi said, "You will know when the war starts."
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier's shout could be heard.
The soldier hurried to Yan Three and reported, "General Yan, the scouts just sent back news that the Southern Nation has sent troops to Mt. Datong. They might be attacking again."
"Got it. Send more scouts."
Yan Three ordered.
After the soldier left, Yan Three looked at Du Qi and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Tan brought his men again. The King of the Southern Nation is very difficult to deal with. He has attacked several times but has never won. However, he still keeps on fighting. "
Du Qi said, "This time, we will teach him a lesson."
Yan Three said, "How should we fight?"
Du Qi ordered, "Fang Yiai!"
"Yes!"
Fang Yiai immediately stood up.
Du Qi said, "How do you think we should fight this war?"
Fang Yi 'ai stood on top of the mountain and looked at the general situation of Mount Datong, then he said: "My King, this subject thinks that there's no need for us to delay this battle, we should just counterattack. However, in this battle, we still adopted the strategy of defending first and then attacking later. Let the Southern Empire's army attack for a while, and our soldiers would shoot them down with their rifles before directly counterattacking. When the time comes for the counterattack, the main attack will be the eight hundred paces of spearmen led by me, and the two flanks will be the attack of all the officers and soldiers. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Everything will be under your command. You will be in charge of this battle."
"Yes!"
Fang Yiai answered immediately.
To Fang Yiai, the arrangement was simple. He placed Yan Three's troops on the left and right sides of the defense line. They would attack when the battle started.
The riflemen under his command all took over the trenches on the mountain, and all the soldiers entered the trenches to prepare.
Now that everything was ready, they waited quietly.
Time passed slowly. Soon, a large army appeared on the main road north of Mt. Datong. The black mass of soldiers rushed towards Mt. Datong at high speed.
Fang Yiai's eyes were sharp as he waited quietly.
Not long after, the army at the foot of the mountain stopped moving forward. Once the army stopped moving forward, they set up cannons and began to bombard the mountain.
At the same time, the Southern Empire's soldiers at the foot of the mountain started to attack.
The soldiers that Wang Tan sent to test the waters began to rush forward and rushed towards the defensive position on the mountain.
Fang Yi 'ai saw this scene and appeared incomparably calm. He waited quietly. When the distance between the two sides was reduced to 150 steps, Fang Yiai decisively ordered, "Fire!"
The soldiers at the defensive position had already aimed and pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang!
Gunshots were heard continuously.
After the gunshots, the soldiers of the Southern Kingdom who were running forward fell to the ground one after another like dumplings being dropped into a pot. They didn't even make a sound from beginning to end.
After the continuous gunshots, the Southern Empire's soldiers who were charging forward were frightened.
What was going on?
Why did they charge forward and die directly?
This was something that no one had expected.
The soldiers shrank back, but even so, because the distance was less than 150 steps, it was not a difficult distance for the soldiers at the defensive position.
The Type 38 rifle had a crosshair, and after aiming, it could shoot from 200 to 300 steps away.
Gunshots were heard one after another.
The Southern Empire's soldiers were shot and killed one after another.
This scene frightened the soldiers who were attacking. The general in charge, Lin Zheng, was also shocked. He asked someone to carry a soldier who had been shot and ran back, ordering a temporary retreat.
Lin Zheng returned to the rear and came to Wang Tan's side. He said, "Your Majesty, when we attacked this time, Xia Xia's side had new weapons. Look, these are the soldiers who were killed."
The dead soldier on the ground was shot between the eyebrows.
It was only a hole the size of a peanut.
A little blood flowed out, and the person was already dead.
When Wang Tan saw this scene, he was also shocked. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what was going on and couldn't figure out what was going on. He looked at Wu Youdao and Zou Yi and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Zou Yi shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
In the past, he had also fought with Xia Xia's army, and Du Qi had never taken out such a weapon.
Of course, he did not know it.
Wang Tan looked at Wu Youdao and said, "Prime Minister, do you know this person?"
Wu Youdao shook his head and said, "I've been arranging for people to infiltrate Xia Xia to get information about Xia Xia, and even to know about Xia Xia's weapon. However, from the beginning to the end, I only know that Xia Xia's weapon is powerful, but I don't know how to make it. Now, I don't even know about such a weapon. "
Wang Tan said, "Prime Minister, what should we do now?"
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
He really did not know how to deal with it now.
Retreat!
But once he retreated, Xia Xia's army would continue to advance and kill into the Southern Empire.
If they continued to fight, the final result would be that the army would be damaged again, and they might even be in trouble. Therefore, Wang Tan's current situation made him in a dilemma, and he did not know what to do.
Wu Youdao gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, in the current situation, if we retreat, we'll have to retreat again and again. No matter what, we'll have to face Xia Xia's army. War is inevitable. Therefore, I suggest that we fight to the death. We'll throw caution to the wind and order an all-out attack. As long as our army is large enough, I don't believe that Du Qi's weapon can destroy us. "
"No matter what, we'll encounter this step."
"Therefore, I suggest that we fight."
"Moreover, through such a battle, as long as our people kill their way to Du Qi's position, we'll be able to seize their weapon. We'll know what kind of weapon it is. "
"Then, we'll have a countermeasure for the next step."
Wu Youdao said, "If we want to retreat now, we'll end up in a difficult situation. In the end, he would be stuck in a predicament and would never be able to solve the problem from the root. Therefore, we'll have to fight. "
Wang Tan sighed, but his expression gradually became resolute. He said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then let's fight. We'll fight with everything we have! "
Wu Youdao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Wang Tan said, "Zou Yi, order the artillery to attack with all their might. In addition, all the soldiers will be divided into groups and prepare to attack Mt. Datong in turns. We won't stop until we break through Mt. Datong. "
"Yes!"
Zou Yi immediately replied.
He immediately issued the order. As the order was passed down, all the cannons aimed at the mountain and bombarded it. The soldiers of the Southern Empire also began to rush forward in an orderly manner, preparing to launch an attack.
