Not only him, but also the surrounding soldiers and soldiers all fell to the ground at this moment.
They practiced before the war and found that the best way to deal with the thunder was to lie down on the ground, and finally they could block their ears. In this way, the power of the thunder could be reduced to the maximum extent.
The earliest sky thunder relied on sound waves to hurt people. Later, after the sky thunder began to be upgraded in Tang Ao's hands, a lot of iron dice and iron filings were added, which could explode and hurt people.
But no matter which one it is, as long as a person lies on the ground, the harm of sky thunder can be minimized. Unless by chance, the position where you lie down is exactly where the thunder falls, otherwise, the loss will not be too great.
.
Waves of thunder roared from the sky, causing waves of tremors when they fell on the ground. Then, the sound of cannons became less and less loud, until finally it became quiet.
"Keep moving forward." He could no longer hear the sound of thunder whizzing through the air. Wang Sheng dusted off the dust on his body, pushed away the soldiers who were protecting him, and roared loudly.
The smoke and dust continued to rise, and the army continued to advance. The number of people must be smaller, but the losses were still within the acceptable range for the 30,000 loyal army who served as the vanguard.
"Oh, it seems they already know how to avoid the thunder." Jiang Fenghua put down the telescope in his hand. Although he could not see the specific situation of King Zhong's army behind the smoke, he could feel it just from the smoke.
It turns out that the effect of the shelling just now was not very satisfactory.
Jiang Fenghua, who said this with a raised corner of his mouth, didn't seem to take it seriously. Instead, he said to the ordering soldier beside him: "Order to set off incendiary bombs. I want to see what they can use to block it this time."
The so-called incendiary bombs are filled with white scales in the sky thunder, so that it will burn. Moreover, this thing will burn whatever it touches, and it cannot be extinguished with water.
Such incendiary bombs may not be very effective against fast-moving armies, but if they are used against slow-moving armies, the effect is very effective.
The military order was issued again, and the order flag also changed accordingly, and fell into the eyes of the soldiers of the Second Firearms Brigade in the city. The incendiary bombs that had been prepared long ago were put into the bronze cannon, and then bursts of
A whistling sound passed through the sky.
"Everyone get down, get down." Although Wang Sheng couldn't see what was going on in front of him, his ears were still very good. After hearing the sound, he gave the repeated order again, and tens of thousands of troops gathered together.
He lay down on the ground.
At this moment, neither General An Zhiwu nor Qian Ying Emperor Tang Qingchuan showed any nervous expressions on their faces. After all, with the example just now, they did not think that the Great Chinese Army could severely damage them, it was just a few unlucky ones.
The ghosts will be killed by the explosion. But where can there be undead people in a war?
Just when many people looked relaxed, the incendiary bomb fell into the smoke and began to exert its power.
As before, there was a burst of air first, but in the eyes of Wang Sheng, who had been prepared for it, it was nothing. Especially when he had soldiers on his body responsible for protecting him, unless it was a sudden thunderstorm.
It was falling on him, otherwise, his life would not be in danger.
Just when Wang Sheng was still waiting for the thunder from the sky to stop, and he continued to lead the army forward, bursts of barbecue smell suddenly came to his nostrils.
He is still very familiar with this taste. In his own house, he often asked his subordinates to cook barbecue for him. One of his slaves was a Western barbarian, and his skill in barbecue was unparalleled.
What he smelled now was this familiar smell. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly thought of something and pushed away the soldiers who were pressing him. At this glance, what he saw was the fire burning everywhere.
, what I saw was that many soldiers were ignited by fire.
"What's going on?" Wang Sheng was stunned by the scene in front of him. This shouldn't be the case. As far as he knew, the thunder of the Great Chinese Army was very powerful, but it was not powerful enough to set people on fire.
To some extent.
But whether you believe it or not, at this moment, fires are already burning everywhere.
White scales are different from other things. After being ignited on a person's body, they will burn wherever they touch. If someone wants to save his comrades, I'm sorry, but you are reaching out to burn your hands and your clothes to burn your clothes.
The Zhongwang Army, who had no idea how powerful Bai Lin was, suffered a big loss. Just because they were rescuing people, they ended up with a lot of soldiers. In the end, whenever they saw someone on fire, other comrades would run away if they could.
I no longer dare to rescue him.
And at this time, the sky thunder fell again. This time it was no longer an incendiary bomb, but an ordinary sixth-generation sky thunder. But just like this, the sky thunder that had previously made them helpless, at this moment, forcefully hit them.
Causing large-scale killing and destruction.
The 30,000-strong army soon fell into a sea of fire, and as time went by, more and more people began to be attacked. Even Wang Sheng's soldiers were burned to death and several were burned.
"Withdraw, all the troops retreat." Seeing the already chaotic army, Wang Sheng said helplessly.
But even after they left, the fire continued to burn, and it didn't stop until dark. The day passed like this.
In Anping County, a cauldron had already been raised, and the enemy troops were severely damaged without wasting a single soldier. They successfully defended the city for a day, making both the generals and soldiers in the city look happy.
In stark contrast, there are more than 400,000 loyal troops stationed outside the city. Today's siege of the city failed. Not only did tens of thousands of brothers die and be injured in battle, but more importantly, the morale of the army was hit hard.
Military morale is a very important thing when fighting. Many times, defeating more with less or defeating strong with weak relies on military morale.
And if an army has no military morale, no matter how many people it has, it will be of little use.
Tang Qingchuan, who had led the army for many years, naturally understood this truth. In his imperial tent, he called the generals to discuss the next countermeasures.
"Great China is so despicable. They only know how to defend, but they don't dare to come out and fight us openly. It's a completely cowardly act." Xie Guan, the captain of the Thirty Thousand Soldiers, said with a displeased look on his face.
"That's right." Such a voice was quickly echoed by several generals.
But they seem to have forgotten this thing. This time they originally started the war. Why, when you want to hit others, don't you allow others to fight back?
Tang Qingchuan sat in the first place and ignored the conversations of these people. Instead, he focused on General An Zhiwu and Cavalry General Pan Guang.
In contrast, these two are veterans in the military, so they are able to put forward some constructive opinions.
Feeling Tang Qingchuan's eyes on him, An Zhiwu knew what he was going to say, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the thunder of the Great China Army is so powerful that it can even ignite fires. This is what we have done before
Unexpected encounters, in my opinion, this is the advantage of the Chinese army. If they cannot contain their thunder, I am afraid that the next war will probably develop in a direction that is not conducive to us."
What An Zhiwu stated was a fact, but it was precisely because of the fact that Tang Qingchuan had a headache. Why, the sky thunder is the advantage of the Chinese army. Naturally, the two armies are full of tricks in fighting. Can they still ask the other side not to use artillery?
Fortunately, An Zhiwu was not a person who could only ask questions but not solve them, so he continued: "Your Majesty, in the end, we want to capture Anping County and defeat the Dahua Army.
, we can only start with the opponent's sky thunder. To solve this problem, we must send people to cut off the retreat of the Anping County transportation team so that the sky thunder can no longer enter the city. Otherwise, if the attack continues like this, I am afraid that
No amount of human life is enough to fill the gap."
"Cut off the way back?" Tang Qingchuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then his eyes naturally fell on the cavalry general Pan Guang.
Pan Guang, the cavalry general in King Zhong's army, not only has good riding skills, but is also a general who knows how to fight and is full of wisdom. Now he is commanding the most elite 30,000 armored cavalry in King Zhong's army.
These 30,000 people were selected from the entire army. They were all brave men, and they were also made of iron-style armor that Tang Qingchuan spent a lot of money to build. They were somewhat imitated by the Great Chinese Army's Shanshan Guards.
Since he is a qualified cavalry commander, he naturally knows what the advantage of the cavalry is, that is, it is flexible and fast enough. And tasks such as cutting off supplies are the cavalry's specialty.
"Yes, the general has also come into contact with the Tianlei object. It is not easy to save, especially if it is not allowed to be stored in large quantities. I think there will not be too many of these things in Anping County. And if the logistical supplies are cut off and the army can capture the city, the general will
agree."
Pan Guang agreed, but he did not say that he would go by himself. His meaning was already very clear. The armored army in his hands would not risk entering the enemy's rear. His more important role was to defeat the enemy in an upright manner on the frontal battlefield.
Since Pan Guang was unwilling to take risks, the only one who could complete this task was someone else. It seemed that by coincidence, everyone's eyes fell on another cavalry general, Xiang Longqiang.
Xiang Longqiang, formerly a member of the Xiang clan of the Western Barbarians, rebelled with Origi and took over the throne of the Western Barbarians. He then marched eastward to the Central Plains to fight against Tang Dong, the eldest prince of Qing at the time, but was later captured by Tang Ao.
At the end of the century, the Western Barbarians were occupied, and Xiang Longqiang became a tree without roots. He was later rescued by Tang Qingchuan, who occupied Daliang City at that time, and became his cavalry general.
He was not the only cavalry general at the same time, there were also Origi, An Zibao, Ashina Xiong and Ashina Shan from the Gelu tribe. But these people died for various reasons one after another. To put it bluntly, this was Tang Qingchuan
After eliminating dissent, it seems that every king has the same characteristic, which is the habitual inability to completely trust others.
