Chapter 1164 Small-scale conflict

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.

After some pre-battle negotiations, the two armies were just meaningless dialogues asking the other side to surrender quickly, and naturally there was no result.

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 had less than 2,000 men, but there were 5,000 on the opposite side. Their strength was more than doubled. Although they had advantages in 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 for this. 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, a county as big as a hundred thousand people, how can it know this.

Even with the wealth of the Southern Army, it is not possible for everyone to be equipped with firearms, and not even one out of ten people may be equipped with firearms. However, once such a time-honored weapon is 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, they survived, 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 a few rounds of cannon fire, the birds and beasts on the opposite side were already scattered. Originally, these soldiers had never thought about 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 the previous night. Organize yourself and scare them so that you can pay less taxes. Who knows, it could be a life-threatening job.

The 2,000 men of the Southern Army of the Daji Dynasty took advantage of the situation and killed them. Those who surrendered were in vain. Almost all of them 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. They first sent out troops to recruit troops to surrender, but to no avail. They clearly had a sharp siege weapon - the red cannon, but they abandoned it and used the troops 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 narrowly 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 Confederate army's invincible firearms were completely useless in such scenes because they could easily accidentally injure one's own people. After a fight, a team of two thousand people Half of them were damaged and they had to retreat in despair. If the artillery hadn't been in the distance, even the precious artillery would have been lost. This would be a crime of beheading.

The commander of the Confederate army, who saw the chaotic battle and defeat, became angry and ordered his artillery to be aimed at the untouchables of the small country who did not know whether to live or die, and to fire out all the artillery shells.

The commander of the Confederate Army is a Captain of Ten Thousands. Yes, you heard it right, a Captain of Ten Thousands. 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 on his head, which reflects the bright sun; he wears a soap robe on his body, which floats in the wind. He was wearing black iron armor and a tight leather belt; he was wearing flower pleated boots, and he looked as majestic as a general. He has a wide waist and three measurements, and is ten feet tall. He holds a knife with a bright blade.

The equipment was good, but it had no use. From the beginning to the end, the commander did not go to the battlefield, but was beside 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 blasted out, 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, there were countless casualties.

For a moment, artillery fire spread, black clouds covered the ground, and red flames flew into the sky. The quenching law moves thousands of golden snakes, and the flames scatter thousands of fire lumps. With the help of the strong wind, the carved beams and painted buildings were temporarily suspended; the flames rose into the sky, and the high halls of the buildings disappeared in a blink of an eye.

After firing hundreds of cannonballs in a row, there was a brief pause, also 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, and 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 had a dispute with the Daji Dynasty, it was because the Daji Dynasty wanted the country to pay more taxes. As long as it did not exceed the limit, it would be given if it could.

Anyway, anyone with a discerning eye now knows that as the end of the election system is getting closer, several princes are trying every means to improve their prestige. They just need to wait 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 produced, it won't lead to a war. 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 are countless people who cheered afterward.

For the Daji Dynasty, this matter may not even make it to 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 aftermath. After all, Who gave this king 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 incredible things come.

If Wu Yi hadn't followed Taotie's aura and came here, he might not have been able to discover the weirdness in it.
