   Chapter 1048 Half a city in half a day!

Five hundred fire cannons can cause a lot of damage, but on a battlefield with a scale of tens of thousands of people, it is not enough to change the situation of the battle. As long as the army of the imperial court is rushing forward one after another, this fire cannon team can be dispersed. He was even able to capture some fire guns and bring them back to the capital for research.

but…

   This kind of thing that can directly kill people at a distance of dozens of steps or even nearly a hundred steps without a bow and crossbow is really too terrifying!

   This is a kind of blow from the heart. No one knows what these fire gun soldiers are holding in their hands, and no one knows why the comrades in front of them fell to the ground after a loud noise.

   Following the command of the commander, these people rushed forward for dozens of steps, and found that the brothers in front of them were lying on the ground, so some people stopped because of fear.

  Facing the unknown, fear is the first instinct.

   At this time, nearly 10,000 people from Li Shuo's Ningzhou army had poured into Xiangyang City.

   The Ningzhou general, who had just passed his thirties, had an expressionless face and said coldly, "The shield soldiers stand in the front, and the pitchers follow behind, advancing from west to east!" liejufa1111111111111111111111

   "Everyone pay attention to cover the fire gun!"

Five hundred fire gun soldiers could not change the battle situation in Xiangyang City, but when thousands of shield soldiers joined the battlefield, and more than a thousand unique "pitchers" of the Southwest Army followed closely into Xiangyang City, the battle situation became big. It's different. The fire guns are the arms that Li Shuo and Mu Ying have intensively trained in the past few months. It is relatively unfamiliar in application, but the pitcher responsible for throwing thunderbolts has been in Southwest China since the ninth year of Taikang. , it is easy to apply.

After the enemy was hit by the fire gun for a round, the rhythm formation was in chaos, and there was no decent counterattack. Even the long-range bow and crossbow did not shoot a few arrows. Dozens and hundreds of thunderbolts were in the shield soldiers. Under the cover, they threw themselves into the enemy's formation, and in just one face-to-face, the Hanzhong army had already begun to rout.

  Wail loudly!

  Li Shuo saw that the Hanzhong army was starting to retreat, and decisively opened his mouth: "Pursue slowly, don't be impatient, and slowly advance towards the east of the city!"

The predecessor of the Ningzhou Army was the remnants of the Pingnan Army. Although the Pingnan Army had undergone a reorganization and had been incorporated into the Southwest Army, Li Shuo, after all, was a major general of the Pingnan Army, and there were many elites in the Pingnan Army. , or stayed in the Ningzhou Army. The later 50,000 Ningzhou Army was also trained according to the standard of the Pingnan Army, and its combat power even surpassed that of the Southwest Army under Mu Ying. The execution was very strong. I heard that After Li Shuo's order, he immediately nodded his head. There were only more than 10,000 troops from Ningzhou, and tens of thousands of troops from Hanzhong, who fought hard, were retreating step by step!

  Because the formation of the Hanzhong army was in chaos, the retreating was not very orderly, and was chased by a group of Ningzhou troops armed with firearms, and gradually changed from retreating to fleeing, with heavy casualties!

  Li Shuo was now on the city tower of the west city wall of Xiangyang. He used a telescopic mirror to look at the Hanzhong army who kept fleeing from a distance, and then looked back at the southwest army camp still stationed outside the city. He let out a slow breath.

   The Pingnan Army back then had the equipment of the Southwest Army now, not to mention the Emperor Taikang, even against the Emperor of Chengde, or even the Emperor Wu of the Great Jin Dynasty, he would still have great power!

   It's a pity that his brother, like his eldest father, is too proud in his bones, and the two of them are destined to never be together.

  Thinking of this, Li Shuo sighed and instructed his subordinates, "Notify the general that the Southwest Army can enter the city."

"Yes!"

  …

On this side, Li Shuo fought smoothly and vigorously. On the other side, the leader of the Hanzhong army, Xie Jing, was quite embarrassed. There was also Tianlei being dispersed. At this time, any military orders had no effect. It was Chong Heng who saw that something was wrong and gave the order to withdraw troops. The Hanzhong army fled from the west of the city to the east of the city in embarrassment.

  The three generals who led troops in Xiangyang also fled back to a house in the east of the city, and everyone's faces were very ugly.

Xiangyang is the most important city in the central part of the Great Jin Dynasty. Once Xiangyang is lost, these southwestern rebels can go straight to the bottom of the capital. Emperor Yuan Zhao sent them all to Xiangyang, just to let them defend no matter what. Xiangyang, but now, the two sides fought for less than half a day, and the Hanzhong army immediately collapsed, and the southwestern rebels actually broke into Xiangyang City!

   Once such a monstrous crime spreads into the capital, each of these three generals leading troops in the southwest will not be able to escape the guilt, even Xie Jing, the mother-in-law of the emperor, may not be able to stay out of it!

   The three of them sat on a table, Xie Guojiu had an angry look on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "It's only half a day!"

"In just half a day, those barbarians from the southwest were like no one, and they directly entered Xiangyang City. This matter spread to the capital, and none of the three of us wanted to have a good reputation. In Xiangyang, lest I return to Beijing to be embarrassed!"

   Pei Jin was relatively calm. He frowned and said, "The Southwest Army has come up with something new other than Tianlei."

"Today, they are using catapults to throw sky thunder. Although it is powerful, it is still the use of sky thunder in essence. But after these southwestern troops entered the city, they have never seen those iron pipes that can shoot hidden weapons in their hands. thing."

   Pei Jin's voice was hoarse.

"The matter has come to this point, no matter whether Xiangyang City can be defended or not, we must find out what the iron pipe is. It is best to grab one or two pieces from them and send them to the capital to give to His Majesty. In this way, even if the southwest is broken, we will not bear too much guilt."

Chong Heng, who frowned and said nothing, pondered for a long time before he said with a wry smile: "This thing is mostly something that Li Houye made, and my grandfather often told me about him, saying that he rarely saw him for decades. character."

   "Now it seems that grandfather's vision is really good."

  Chong Heng's grandfather, Chong Xuantong, met Li Xin when he was sixteen or seventeen years old, and gave him his accompanying sword.

   "This kind of powerful thing is definitely not something that one person can figure out in three or five years after pondering for a year and a half."

  Xie Jing gritted his teeth and said, "It must be that Li Xin got an ancient book somewhere and recorded these things, but he has been hiding it in the dark and never used it."

   "The late emperor treated him like a brother and made him a very noble minister. This man is not satisfied. He has hidden so many things, and he has not handed it over to the court!"

   Uncle Guo scolded fiercely: "The wolf's ambition!"

   "Now it's useless to discuss what Li Houye is thinking."

  Chongheng smiled bitterly and said, "The most urgent task now is how to deal with the aggressive Southwest Army, and whether to defend Xiangyang City?"

"The city wall of Xiangyang City has been broken. If you want to continue to defend it, you will most likely suffer heavy casualties in the face of those unknown iron pipes, so according to my opinion, let's leave a group of people behind, and then the large army will temporarily withdraw from Xiangyang. Send the information to the capital with the obtained information, so that the Hanzhong army will not be wiped out, but can also retain some strength, and in the future can also help the Gyeonggi Imperial Army against the southwest."

After    Zhongheng said this, he looked left and right, and then continued: "What do the two generals think?"

   Xie Guojiu's face was gloomy.

   "Fleeing out of Xiangyang in such an embarrassed manner is probably a capital crime after returning to Beijing!"

   Pei Jin smiled lightly.

   "Otherwise, General Xie will stay here alone and take the Hanzhong army to guard. My Ankang army will listen to General Xiaozhong's advice and start to slowly evacuate Xiangyang tomorrow."

   "How does General Xie feel?"

   I moved today, I moved all day, from one city to another, I barely managed to get a chapter out, I'm too sleepy to open my eyes, the typo in this chapter will be corrected tomorrow, and the second chapter may have to be fixed tomorrow...
