PDLP Chapter 695 Bombardment
Chapter 695 Bombardment
After just a moment's hesitation, Jing Zhaoheng waved his hand and gave the order to continue pursuing the enemy.
Since it is a war, the first priority is of course to destroy the enemy.
Qiancheng has become an empty city. It won’t be too late to move in after we have annihilated the enemy.
Twenty thousand people chasing ten thousand people are already in an invincible position. If they can catch up and defeat the enemy when it is down, it will be another great victory.
The two teams, one in front and one behind, followed closely behind the Imperial Guards, less than two miles away.
Gong Sanpao was very nervous. According to Lin Feng's arrangement, he had already taken the first step.
However, he felt that if the rebels did not come to chase him but instead occupied Qiancheng first, he would suffer a great loss.
Didn't he give up the city voluntarily?
Just relying on his trust in Lin Feng, he led 10,000 troops straight to Kyoto City without any hesitation.
After running for a while, he turned his head to look at the distance behind him, and sure enough, a large group of people were chasing him.
He was immediately overjoyed: "Oh my god, the commander is really amazing, he has figured this out."
He waved his arms excitedly: "Run faster, others are catching up."
Although he ordered the team to run fast, he didn't know what would happen at the end.
The deputy general following behind him frowned. If they ran further, they would reach the moat of Kyoto City.
Isn’t it a dead end?
Do we have to fight a desperate battle?
But things have developed to this point and cannot be changed, so we have no choice but to run away.
Gradually, the tall Kyoto City in the distance came into sight. After running for a while, the wide moat stretched out in front of us.
I estimated that if I ran for another quarter of an hour, I would have to rush into the river.
The pursuers behind had already caught up with the team and were about to charge into the team.
At this moment, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded in front.
The ground suddenly shook, and then a ball of fire exploded behind the team.
Along with the explosion, countless soldiers were knocked over in the rebel ranks.
The broken limbs and body parts were blown into the air, which was very shocking.
After one loud bang, there were several more.
The explosions never stopped after that, and there were flashes of fire in the rebel army behind him.
When the front team was about to rush to the river, someone on the two warships in the moat waved a red flag, signaling the soldiers to disperse to both sides.
Jing Zhaoheng was stunned by the explosion.
What the hell is this?
How come the thunder suddenly appeared out of nowhere?
They were still nearly two miles away from the river. What could have thrown the thunder into their team?
Tianlei didn't give him time to think. The two warships anchored in the moat, with eight cannons on their sides, fired their power at the same time.
The gunners were constantly adjusting the distance and direction to ensure that the mines covered the entire rebel team.
After several rounds of artillery fire, Jing Zhaoheng finally reacted and waved his hand to let the team retreat.
Once within the enemy's artillery range, you can only be bombed and have no ability to fight back.
They were retreating, but the artillery fire was still chasing and bombing them. Countless soldiers were thrown overboard, their limbs broken and blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Gong Sanpao also understood Lin Feng's intention at this time.
Just let him lead the rebels to the riverside to receive the baptism of thunder.
Seeing the rebels being blown to pieces and completely defeated, he felt happy.
Turning around, they found someone on the warship sending out a flag signal, telling them to stop the shelling.
Gong Sanpao immediately turned his horse around, asked the messenger to wave the red flag, and ordered the entire army to counterattack the rebels.
If we don't take advantage of the victory and pursue the enemy now, when will we?
Ten thousand troops turned around and began to charge towards the rebel army.
The two sides now switched sides, the rebels began to flee, and a large number of royal guards began to pursue them.
Jing Zhaoheng understood that it was not advisable to turn around and fight the enemy during the retreat. He had to find a stronghold and then attack.
Qiancheng is an empty city now, so we can just run in and let the team recover before making plans.
Having made up his mind, Jing Zhaoheng commanded the troops to run towards Qiancheng.
When they were chasing, the team was still in good order, but after being bombarded, the formation became disorganized and no longer a team.
The soldiers were almost stunned by the explosion, and each of them ran away on their own, no longer able to take care of the overall situation.
It took me more than half an hour to run here, and I was so tired that I couldn't breathe when I ran back.
Of course, Gong Sanpao's team was almost exhausted from running.
Although I have increased my weighted long-distance running, the time is still too short and I have not fully adapted to this high-intensity running.
Even so, they are much better than the rebels.
They saw that they were catching up with the rebels.
The shadow of Qiancheng appeared in the distance, which made Gong Sanpao feel nervous.
Oh, why didn’t we leave some soldiers to defend the city?
Just as Gong Sanpao was sighing, he suddenly discovered that there were troops moving towards Qiancheng.
Jing Zhaoheng was running in front and could see more clearly. Wasn’t Qiancheng already empty?
Why is there another team?
Before he could figure it out, a large group of cavalry appeared almost out of nowhere.
After a short rest, Wang Qian immediately led the cavalry to Qiancheng and arrived at the destination on time.
Just happened to see the rebels running towards this side.
He immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Charge, kill!"
Nearly 20,000 cavalrymen urged their horses at the same time and began to charge towards the rebel troops.
Jing Zhaoheng was terrified. It was all over. He had fallen into the other party's trap.
Most of them are infantrymen, how can they outrun war horses, and the enemy is a fresh force.
My troops are already out of breath from running. How can we fight this battle?
There was no other way, so he ordered the team to split up and run to both sides to prevent the other side from taking advantage of them.
There were 20,000 cavalrymen in front and 10,000 infantrymen behind, chasing the rebels so hard that they had no way out. As soon as they came into contact with the enemy, they began to disintegrate.
There is no power to resist anymore.
The entire battlefield was a one-sided massacre.
These rebel soldiers, unlike the Black Turban Army, immediately knelt on the ground, threw away their weapons, and covered their heads with their hands in a gesture of surrender when they were unable to resist.
Since I can't beat him, it doesn't matter who I eat with.
Anyway, it belongs to the Zhao family, so who becomes the emperor has nothing to do with me.
The 20,000 Taisho Imperial Guards infantrymen were chased by the king's 20,000 cavalry and had no chance of escape.
Most of them knelt down and surrendered, and a small number of cavalrymen followed Jing Zhaoheng's guards and fled into the wild woods.
The Central Plains is not as vast and barren as Zhenxi.
There are bushes and woods everywhere, especially at the foot of Yufu Mountain, where weeds are everywhere, making tracking very difficult.
Wang Qian had no choice but to let each team act on their own, while the other soldiers gathered the prisoners and took inventory of the battlefield.
Gong Sanpao rode his horse to the king, bowed and said with a smile.
"I greet General Wang."
Wang Qian waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. After cleaning up the battlefield, return to the city for defense as soon as possible."
"Understood, General Wang, thank you for your help."
"Whatever you say, it's all a chess game."
Gong Sanpao leaned forward and said, "So, this was all arranged by the commander?"
Wang Qian smiled and said, "What do you think? Is there such a coincidence in the world?"
"Hey, thank you General Wang for your guidance. I'll be heading back to the city right away."
Wang Qian waved his hand, signaling him to go and do his work.
