Chapter 657: The strange battle situation and the reason

"Miss, something serious has happened."

As soon as Cai Luan returned to the house, she heard Old Monster Xu say something a bit rude.

"The war between the Royal Forest Army and the camp on the outskirts of Beijing has been defeated, and the Prince of Dongping County has come directly to the capital!!"

There was a hint of uneasiness in Old Monster Xu's words. Logically speaking, the battle situation should not develop like this. The Yulin Army and the Beijing Suburban Camp had the numerical advantage, and they had the help of thunderbolts. Even if it was a direct bombardment, the result should not be known so quickly.

.

"what happened??"

Cai Luan was also stunned when she heard this. She knew exactly how many people were sent out from the capital. In addition, the Imperial Forest Army brought thunder bombs, so this result should not have happened.

"It's not clear yet. The spies have only sent back the results so far. There is no news yet about what happened in the middle."

The news about Old Monster Xu is undoubtedly a shock to Cai Luan. Of course, this news is also a shock to the entire capital.

At the same time that the champion's house received the news, a secret report was also sent to Emperor Mingkang's court. When he saw the news, Emperor Mingkang's eyes darkened and he sat back on the throne. He didn't reply for a long time.

God comes.

"what is going on??"

The voice of Emperor Mingkang echoed in the empty hall. Dai Quan on the side shrank his neck and felt the cool breeze blowing towards his collar.

"Xu Yuantu."

Emperor Mingkang sat on the dragon throne for a long time and then spoke.

But at this time, his voice returned to its previous calmness, but there was still a coolness in this calmness. As a person close to Emperor Mingkang, Dai Quan knew that the emperor who dominated Dakang was already angry at this time.

.

The leader of the secret guard, Xu Yuantu, came out of the darkness. This information was sent back by the secret guard, and he already knew the contents.

"Prince Dongping spared no expense and spent 700 thunderbolts in a short period of time. Although our army also has thunderbolts, it does not have an advantage in firepower."

After hearing Xu Yuantu's words, Emperor Mingkang's narrow eyes narrowed slightly. Seven hundred, this is not a small number.

“Where did the old dog Dongping get thunder bullets??”

He had already appointed secret guards to investigate this matter. In his opinion, Prince Dongping was nothing more than a clown, but the thunder bullet in the opponent's hand was a scourge that had to be eliminated.

If Jia Qi hadn't disappeared for many days at this time, he would have been asked by him long ago.

"It is still under investigation. In terms of its power, it is even greater than the thunderbolt handed over by the champion!!"

Emperor Mingkang raised his head and looked at Xu Yuantu, who was standing not far in front. What did the other person's words mean? Did he say it on purpose? Or did Xu Yuantu and Jia Qi have a bad relationship?

As if he had guessed Emperor Mingkang's thoughts, Xu Yuantu said again: "It's not that I exaggerated on purpose, but it was shown on the battlefield when our army fought against the Dongping rebels. The other side often used a thunderbolt to bring out the full potential of both our armies.

Only one or even three can achieve the effect.”

"Our army will be defeated only under intensive fire suppression!"

Speaking of this matter, Xu Yuantu sounded a little helpless. If it weren't for the gap in numbers, it is estimated that this battle would have ended within a stick of incense.

“Where are the casualties on Dongping Old Dog’s side??”

Since it was a defeat, Emperor Mingkang seemed unwilling to hear about the damage on the court's side now, but asked about the damage on King Dongping's side.

"More than half of it is broken."

Without hesitation, Xu Yuantu immediately said a number, but this number made Emperor Mingkang's eyelids jump.

More than half of the damage was suffered. Such a battle loss ratio was already very high for a battle. If it had been placed on an ordinary battlefield, it would probably have been defeated long ago.

"what happened??"

Emperor Mingkang was a little surprised. It seemed that something happened that he didn't know about during this period. If more than half of the people on the other side were injured, would the damage on the court's side be the same, or even more?

"Back to your Majesty, the thunderbolt bomb has huge destructive power. That thing is a big killer on the battlefield. The damage can no longer be calculated according to common sense."

"Sometimes thunderbolt bullets fall in crowded places and can even kill dozens of people and seriously injure hundreds."

Emperor Mingkang still had some predictions about the power of firearms, but when he heard Xu Yuantu's words, he still took a breath.

On the battlefield, seriously injured people are no different than dead people, because during the charge, there is no time to treat them.

"What about our casualties??"

Emperor Mingkang was silent for a moment and continued to ask.

"There are 3,000 Yulin Army, plus 107,000 people from the large camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and 3,000 people from the Snow Dragon Cavalry. The total loss is more than 30,000 people."

After thinking for a while, Xu Yuantu added: "The Dongping rebels lost about 45,000 people, with more than half of them casualties."

When he heard this set of numbers, Emperor Mingkang was stunned. This didn't seem right!

The other party lost far more people than they did, so how come their people were defeated and returned in the end?

"Xu Yuantu, do you think I am a fool? Since the damage done by Dongping Old Dog far exceeds that of the imperial court, why is it that the imperial court will be the one who returns?"

Regarding this result, Xu Yuantu was also a little embarrassed. It sounded like they were clearly the dominant side, so why did they retreat instead?

"Your Majesty, please tell me slowly. This is what happened."

"The Royal Forest Army carried thunderbolt bombs to block the Dongping rebels. In the first battle, both sides used thunderbolt bombs. However, due to the slow transportation of catapults and other equipment, before they arrived at the battlefield, both sides could only use throwing methods. Our side had a slight advantage.

, because there is a gap in power, our advantage is not big."

"Later, the Snow Dragon Cavalry entered the battle. Its excellent mobility and outstanding personal abilities gradually widened this advantage. Its throwing distance was even more than twice that of before."

"The Dongping rebels didn't seem to expect this. They were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. The huge gap in the throwing distance could not be made up by its own power, so it caused huge trauma to the Dongping rebels at the beginning."

After hearing this, Emperor Mingkang did not answer. He knew what else must have happened next, otherwise the ending would not be like this.

"Later, our army's thunderbolt bombs were exhausted, and the Dongping rebels' thunderbolt bombs continued. The Snow Dragon Cavalry used mounted fire to block the opponent for an hour. In the end, they were unable to follow up and chose to retreat."

Emperor Mingkang sat on the dragon throne and was speechless for a moment.

He never thought that the reason for the defeat was actually the insufficient number of thunderbolts?

Suddenly he asked again: "The 45,000 men and horses injured in Dongping were all the result of Jia Qi's personal soldiers??"

Xu Yuantu's reply this time was not so cheerful. The Snow Dragon Cavalry only had 3,000 people, and the Yulin Army plus the camp on the outskirts of Beijing had a total of 110,000 horses. Such a huge gap in numbers, but the blow it caused to the enemy

But it's a world of difference.

"The Imperial Guards killed at least 5,000 rebels."

Xu Yuantu did not mention the frontier troops in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. Emperor Ming Kang naturally understood the meaning of his words. A total of 45,000 enemies were killed this time. Excluding the 5,000 people from the Royal Forest Army, the remaining 40,000 people were covered in heavy snow.

Killed by the Dragoon Army.

Seemingly laughing in anger, Emperor Mingkang gritted his teeth and roared: "Okay!! That's great! An army of 100,000 people didn't kill as many enemies as 3,000 people. I have raised a bunch of trash?"

"

"Big Snow Dragon Rider..."

Suddenly Emperor Mingkang remembered something, the imperial court also lost many people.

"What about those people who were damaged? Which part do they belong to??"
