"It's nothing more than that on the battlefield. His body must be found and properly delivered to the city." Yang Ding's voice was slightly hoarse. Dou Ying raised his eyes and saw this battle-hardened man.
The veteran also had a little tears shining in his eyes.
Although Yang Bi was cowardly and incompetent, he was still his biological brother. It was too cowardly to die like this at the hands of the Jin army.
Yang Ding was also filled with indignation, but as a rational general, he also knew that being carried away by anger at this time and making noises would have no effect.
The only way to comfort my brother is to win this battle and drive the shameless Jin army completely out of Nanyang City!
For this reason, he sent many troops, no longer harassing on a small scale, but opened up his posture, planning to fight to the death with the Jin army!
Countless soldiers and horses poured out from various barracks in Nanyang City, and some headed outside the city to fight with the Jin army led by Huan Yi.
The wave of Qin troops led by Dou Ying was lucky. What they were about to encounter was the wave of Jin troops led by the dignified Huangmen Shilang Wang Mi!
When two strong men meet, the brave one wins?
Or does one side have an overwhelming advantage?
Wang Mi and others rushed out of the hard building and immediately ate a mouthful of dust.
"broken!"
"The army of Di Qin is coming!"
When Liu Chun saw the layers of smoke and dust kicked up by those Di Qin cavalry, he instantly became paralyzed. His courage was really rising and falling.
Just a moment ago, in the dark hard building, he was a warrior who killed people without blinking an eye, taking one step at a time. But now, in the blink of an eye, he turned into a coward who was dragging Wang Mi's arm and only wailing.
Although Liu Chun didn't say much, his disappointment was evident in his words. What did he mean?
Are you complaining about Wang Mi?
Blame him for being impulsive and meddlesome?
Not thinking well?
Taking thousands of soldiers and running to Nanyang City to die?
Their generals from Jingzhou are used to doing this!
It’s really despising!
"Jinnu, for this plan, we have to fight hard!"
Gunpowder, gunpowder!
Why do you have so little!
Others were lamenting that the Jin army had too few men and could not compete with Di Qin, but Wang was lamenting that they did not have enough gunpowder.
wrong!
It’s not that we didn’t bring enough, it’s that we didn’t make enough!
Far from enough!
Wang Mi spent all his money on the gunpowder used under Nanyang City. He brought all the gunpowder from Jiankang City. At that time, he brought as much gunpowder as he made in the general workshop, without any deductions.
He really regretted it. If he could have estimated the situation to be worse at that time, he would have made more gunpowder.
If there is enough gunpowder, you can blow up here and there, and the gunpowder is open to use, without any ambiguity.
What a pity! What a pity!
Just when Wang Mi and others were eating ashes, Zhao Dang, a soldier from Di Qin who temporarily surrendered, suddenly appeared and said loudly: "Can you all listen to me?"
How long has it been since this happened? He was still speaking in such a polite manner. Wang Mi waved his hand: "But it doesn't matter!"
"Speak quickly!" Brother Jinu was also very anxious.
"Comparing the strength of the two armies, our army is obviously at a disadvantage. If we rely solely on rushing and fighting, we will definitely not be Di Qin's opponent."
Even before the armor on his body was replaced, Zhao Dang's stance had already turned 180 degrees. Now, the "our army" he was talking about was naturally referring to the Jin army.
Although the words are ugly, they are the truth.
The current situation of the Jin and Qin armies could not be clearer, almost at a glance.
Although the Jin army outside the city was also trying its best to replenish the city, the enemy was strong and we were weak.
"Do you have any idea?" Wang Mi suddenly thought that Zhao Dang was originally a Qin soldier and came out of Nanyang City.
To be said to be the most familiar with the buildings, plants and trees in this city, no one present can compare with him.
"For this plan, I think we should seize the watchtower first!"
Wang Mi looked up at the sky. High in the sky, right in front of them, there was a watchtower standing not far away.
As a common building in the city, the watchtower is also an indispensable part of city defense, and it also assumes a very important responsibility.
Seizing the watchtower, occupying the commanding heights of the city, and sniping down the Qin soldiers is indeed a more labor-saving method.
The key is that it can be delayed longer and reduce casualties.
However, in Nanyang County, there are not only three but five watchtowers in the city.
To be honest, there are probably dozens.
These watchtowers are like the eyes of the defenders. Their tentacles extend in all directions. It can be said that no matter the major or minor events in the city, it can be said that they cannot escape the attention of the sentries.
They had just stepped into Nanyang City, and the situation here had changed a lot from when the Jin Dynasty occupied it.
"It is really not an easy task to accurately find each watchtower and then destroy each one accurately." Liu Yuyi sighed.
"What's so difficult about this?"
"I'm not here anymore?"
"I'll take you to search, and I'm sure you'll find them all!" Zhao Dang boasted, patting his chest, but everyone knew that this soldier was really not bragging.
yes!
Isn’t this Xiao Zhao?
With him here, can there still be a watchtower that can't be found?
Wang Mi and others immediately cheered up. Although there were few people, their determination to fight could not be relaxed at all.
The structure of the watchtower is relatively simple. The soldiers climb up the high stairs into the air, and the suspended building is just a simple small house like a tree house.
There will never be more than five Qin soldiers stationed inside.
Different from the ancillary buildings of the city wall such as hard towers and turrets, although the watchtower towers into the sky and looks powerful and powerful, in fact, it is only used to monitor the situation inside the city and is not responsible for the war outside the city.
Since it was for internal defense, there would not necessarily be too many soldiers on the watchtower on weekdays. As long as they could deliver a message, that would be enough.
With Zhao Dangdang leading the way, I think the Jin army will be able to locate the watchtower at an extremely fast speed and seize it at the same time.
Many people will say that since the watchtower towers into the clouds and is a tall and floating building, can it become a small fortress for soldiers to attack?
The answer is, of course, no problem.
Although the watchtower is tall, in ancient times when construction capacity was limited, it was not higher than the city wall. According to Wang Mi's visual inspection, it was about five meters, which was enough to ensure a bird's eye view of the buildings in the city.
With such a height, it can be converted into an attack location similar to a castle tower. It should be very convenient to use weapons such as bows and arrows.
Some people say that although the watchtower can have an advantage, once the Jin troops attack the watchtower, they will be isolated and helpless.
This place will not be occupied for long. If the Qin soldiers are determined to fight for it, it will be very easy.
Moreover, the weapons that can be used on the watchtower are also limited. They can only be bows and arrows. Even the accuracy of the crossbows cannot be guaranteed. What advantage can this be?
Hey hey hey!
Isn't this something that can't be helped? If they want people, guns, and guns, all of them can still look like they're eating shit.
All young generals are heroes among men. As long as there is a chance of survival, they will fight to the death and will never give up easily.
But now, they are almost forced into a desperate situation. If there is a second and better choice, why would everyone end up like this!
"Jiu Nu, get ready and charge!"
Go ahead!
Yes!
Before capturing the watchtower, the brothers of the Jin Army still have one more hurdle to pass!
It's an extremely difficult level. If you can't get through it, let alone capture the watchtower, you will find there is no way out even if you step back.
That difficulty is the roaring Qin soldiers!
The person who took the lead turned out to be an acquaintance of Wang Mi. He touched his eyes and discovered that it was the team leader Dou Ying!
Wasn't this person just defeated by him?
Compared to Yang Bi and others who had already rushed to the street, Dou Ying was considered a lucky man. When he appeared on the stage, the war had just begun and the fighting was not very fierce, so he saved his life.
This kind of luck is not easy to come by. He didn't know how to cherish it, and went to the Jin army to act wild?
Doesn't it mean that he underestimates him, Wang Shilang?
"That's unreasonable!"
"Slave, mount your horse!"
While they were discussing siege strategies, all the Jin army officers and soldiers were already in place. Not only did they arrive in person, they also brought their war horses.
With the help of pistols, the Jin army's combat effectiveness was indeed greatly increased, although they were unable to quickly capture Nanyang City due to a lack of manpower.
However, there is no doubt that the battle in Nanyang can be regarded as a beautiful opening battle for the pistol!
With pistols to cover the charge, the Jin army, which was originally not very skilled in riding, did not lose when fighting with Di Qin's powerful cavalry.
Even, he won repeatedly.
It is precisely because in the short-term cavalry confrontation, the Jin army has always been in an advantageous position, with very few losses in either cavalry or horses.
It can be said that it has reached a new low in the battle loss rate of the Jin army's cavalry since the conflict between the north and the south.
But now, several young generals with troops and horses finally walked out of the small hard building and took up their posture.
Directly in front of them, Dou Ying and the others, who were rushing over, also saw Wang Mi and the others' battle formation, and immediately took a breath of cold air.
There are so many people!
The defenders in the hard building couldn't stop them!
The fighting power of this Jin army is really terrifying!
Although there were thousands of soldiers and horses behind him to support the battle, Dou Ying, who was at the head, still inevitably felt fearful.
This fear comes from those magical weapons that suddenly emit smoke and fire, and can hurt people invisibly.
This fear came from the fact that Yang Bi and other generals who had a much higher official position than Dou Ying died tragically at the gate of Nanyang City.
It was precisely because these generals died tragically at the hands of the Jin army that he, the leader of a small team, had the opportunity to lead a large army.
What a rare opportunity!
After losing two generals one after another, even though the city was not lost, the entire Di Qin army was filled with dark clouds.
However, the Qin soldiers were sad and Dou Ying was happy.
If he could command this battle properly and drive these shameless Jin troops out of Nanyang City, wouldn't it be a great achievement?
However, if you want to take credit, it depends on whether Dou Ying has this ability!
In such a short time, the Jin army organized a relatively complete battle formation, which was completely beyond Dou Ying's expectations.
And among the smoke and dust, something even more horrifying happened!
The Jin general who was stationed at the front opposite was the same one who almost killed him with a shot at the White Water just now!
Seeing Wang Mi, Dou Ying's legs began to tremble. Just like this, you still want to get a big credit?
Could it be that you are dreaming?
"Jinnu, we don't have much gunpowder, right!" Wang Mi said with a smile, and the pistol was ready to aim, just to see which unlucky guy he would hit.
"It's true that there aren't many, but I can still shoot about ten rounds." Ji Nu has always been an honest person. He only talks about how many rounds he can shoot, and he never exaggerates or pretends to be rich.
The main thing is that he can't brag about this bullshit.
The man next to him has never been a polite person. If he knew that Liu Yu had more gunpowder left, he would definitely ask for it from him without hesitation.
At that time, Liu Yuke will face the tragic fate of having no gun to fight with.
But now, Wang Mi was very satisfied with the statement of ten rounds of lead bullets, and he could hardly find any reason to criticize him again.
Sure enough, the landlord’s family has no surplus food!
I originally wanted to donate some more gunpowder from the slaves, but it seems that it is impossible. What a pity.
"Since there is less gunpowder and there are not many lead bullets left, it is even more important to use it on the edge of the knife, right?"
"That's true." Liu Yu also nodded and raised the gun. After repeatedly aiming, he found the best posture.
It has to be said that after the battle in Nanyang, Liu Yu, an admirer of cold weapons, gradually fell in love with pistols.
This little thing is really light and powerful. If there were more gunpowder and lead bullets, it would not be impossible to level Nanyang City with 5,000 troops!
What a pity! What a pity!
"Zhiyuan, I'll leave the team leader to you, and I'll take care of the rest!"
Very good, Ji Nu is indeed the person that Wang Mi likes. At critical moments, he knows how to retreat when difficulties arise.
boom!
Wang Mi raised the barrel of the gun, the gunpowder expanded, the smoke rose, and then, a lead bullet rushed out in such an ethereal atmosphere!
There is only one goal!
It’s the leader of Team Di Qin and his old rival Dou Ying!
"Team leader!"
"The monster is here again!"
"Get out of here!"
As the saying goes, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. To be honest, Wang Mi and the others did not have much inventory. The fierce battle in the hard building just now did not use firearms. Even so, the average number of gunmen who followed Wang Mi into Nanyang City was
There were only about ten rounds of lead bullets left.
This also includes some situations where there are bullets but no gunpowder, and there is a lot of gunpowder left but not a few lead bullets left.
The current situation of the Pistol Team is not optimistic.
However, even so, the soldiers still raised their guns!
The loser does not lose the formation!
With Wang Mi and the others at the center, the gunmen took their positions and stood in a row on horseback. Although no one shouted slogans, everyone fired at the same time tacitly.
When more than a dozen lead bullets were fired at the same time, and the loud noise and light yellow smoke gathered into a ball and roared towards the Qin soldiers, the deterrence was enough to shake people's hearts!
Why do they still have monsters released?
How can human power compete with demonic power?
There is really no way to continue this battle!
Just now, Dou Ying and the others were still complacent. If they only fought with swords and guns, how could these weak Jin troops be their opponents?
This is normal. Ever since Wang Mi and the others broke into Nanyang City, the deafening roar of pistols has not been heard here for a long time.
Many Qin soldiers who had been frightened out of their wits by the loud noise and strange smoke gradually became more courageous and actually regained some combat effectiveness.
It was with this illusion in mind that the cavalrymen dared to charge the Jin army with crude weapons. They thought that this was still an era when cavalrymen could be fierce and domineering!
