Chapter 233 Supervising the War

Jingyang City Wharf.

While Beiyan used warships to entangle the Jingzhou Navy, a large number of soldiers landed, and war horses, artillery and other supplies were transported ashore one after another.

Jingyang City is ten miles away from Jingyang Pier.

Standing on the top of the city, Liu Jun used his telescope to clearly understand everything the Northern Yan army did.

Still speaking, he continued to wait, like a wolf peeking at his prey.

This time, the Northern Yan attack was very powerful, with the troops transporting ships on the river one by one, and now these troops transporting ships continue to transport the soldiers above to the ashore.

However, it took a long time for more than 600,000 troops to land. Two hours later, half of the soldiers of Beiyan landed at the dock.

"It's time." Liu Jun said.

The Beiyan soldiers who got ashore were still in a mess, and the subsequent transportation soldiers were blocked at the dock, which was the best time to attack.

He asked Xue Shi to attack the soldiers hiding in the woods on both sides of the dock.

To the east of the dock, a commander observed the flag verb at the city wall through a telescope, and he immediately said: "Go out in a crossroads!"

After receiving the order, ten thousand Ning soldiers slowly walked out of the woods and lined up in densely straits toward the Beiyan army.

The machine gun team is hidden in the queue and is ready to attack at any time.

In addition to the machine gun team, there are also new weapons in the army this time, called mortars.

These artillery that can be resisted by one person is very convenient and is hidden in the army like a machine gun team.

As soon as the Ning army appeared, the Beiyan army immediately noticed it.

In the panic, they immediately organized musketeers to line up to defend the pier.

Seeing this, the Ning Army commander ordered a battalion soldiers in front of him to immediately turn into a scattered line to attack the Northern Yan team.

At the same time, let the machine gun team and the mortar team seize the advantageous terrain.

At this time, Huo Gao handed over the water war to the navy general, and he commanded the landing Beiyan army.

He was a little puzzled when he looked at the Ning Chao soldiers who suddenly appeared.

"That's just a few people?" Huo Gao and Jinzhou's brows stretched.

But his brows frowned again with the screams coming from the horizontal lineup.

"What's going on?" Huo Gao's face turned pale. Ning Chao's army is now four or five hundred meters away from them.

He immediately sent a deputy general to investigate the situation.

Hundreds of soldiers fell in pools of blood, which made the straits confused for a while.

But their astonishment was not over yet, and another sound of bullets breaking through the air came, and some soldiers fell down again.

The returned deputy general showed a worried look, and he said to Huo Gao: "General, the firearms used by Ning Jun seem to have a long range."

Huo Gao looked embarrassed. This time they had an absolute advantage in numbers, and he didn't want to lose ugly.

He said: "If you gather cavalry, you can only make a difference if you only have 20,000 people."

The deputy general nodded. There are now 30,000 cavalrymen who have landed ashore. Cooperating with the infantry, it should not be a problem to deal with 20,000 musketeers.

While mobilizing cavalry, the deputy general ordered the horizontal team to advance forward at Huo Gao's instructions and cooperated with the cavalry to annihilate the 20,000 Ningchao soldiers.

On the city wall, the dispatch of Beiyan could not escape Liu Jun's eyes at all. As soon as the cavalry moved, he understood Beiyan's intention.

He immediately asked Xue Shi to pass on his orders.

After receiving the flag verb, the Ning army commander asked the scattered soldiers to continue to harass the opponent's horizontal line, and then the horizontal line in front changed its formation and became a hollow square formation, and the mortar was placed in the hollow square formation, with the machine gun at four angles.

In this way, the machine gun team can form cross-fire.

Although Ning Chao soldiers were equipped with guns, the hollow square formation was not outdated against the Northern Yan cavalry.

Moreover, because of more advanced firearms, it will be more powerful, so Liu Jun gave up defense and used this offensive formation.

In front, eight hundred scattered soldiers used the flexibility of their guns to harass the moving Northern Yan with various postures and terrain. It took about five minutes to walk a distance of 40 meters, which was enough for them to shoot about sixty times.

Compared with the ease of the Ning army's scattered soldiers, the Northern Yan army was a little scared at this time.

Bullets from somewhere continued to seize the lives of their companions around them, which put a lot of pressure on the soldiers in the horizontal team. Some people were even scared and their legs became weak. After all, they had never encountered such a strange situation.

"Boom..."

The sound of horse hooves came from the direction of Beiyan Camp.

While the Northern Yan Heng team was advancing slowly, thousands of cavalry crossed the Heng team and rushed towards the Ning army like lightning.

The distance of four hundred meters only takes a moment for the cavalry, and the cavalry soon saw clearly the Ningchao army that dared to take the initiative to attack them.

A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the commander of the Northern Yan cavalry raised his sabre. When the opponent had no cavalry, the infantry was seeking death here, especially since the army seemed to have only 20,000 people.

But his smile quickly solidified, when they were only two hundred meters away from Ningchao soldiers.

They suddenly heard the "swooshing" sound of breaking through the air.

He looked up and saw many black dots falling from the sky.

Without any reaction, these black dots sprinkled on the cavalry led by him like raindrops.

"Boom boom boom..."

Mortar shells exploded among the cavalry, metal shrapnel splattered everywhere, and a shell was as the center, dozens of cavalry fell down screaming.

In an instant, thousands of cavalrymen rushing in front fell down screaming.

The cavalry behind could not dodge, and many soldiers were tripped and fell to the ground one after another, and the scene was in chaos.

Seeing this, the cavalry general of the Northern Yan was furious. He shouted "kill" and continued to rush over with the remaining cavalry.

He knew that the artillery loading took time, and the distance of 200 meters was not enough for the artillery to shoot in the second round. Using this interval, he could completely kill the opponent's artillery.

It's just that he was wrong.

Ning Chao's mortars can be fired almost continuously.

In the square formation, after a mortarist fired a shell, the second one was fired out, and it kept going.

Explosions continued.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

The sound of shells passing by was also very clear on the noisy battlefield. The Northern Yan cavalry finally felt a little bad at this time, but it was too late.

During the dense explosion, thousands of cavalry fell down and the cavalry was in chaos.

But, this is just the beginning.

The machine guns at the four corners of the hollow square matrix began to output frantically.

Dada, the bullet flew out of the machine gun muzzle, slashing the air and breaking through the body of the Northern Yan cavalry.

The dense cavalry group seemed to bloom with blood donation flowers.

The Northern Yan cavalry fell down layer by layer like waves on the beach.

The distance of two hundred meters seemed to have become an insurmountable gap, and the cavalry's bodies quickly piled up into a line.

In the east and west directions, Beiyan suffered such a severe setback at the same time.

After more than 30,000 Northern Yan cavalry reunite, there were only a few left, and only lonely war horses fled back in panic with the saddle.

Huo Gao's confidence built by his military strength has collapsed.

He finally understood why the Jin King's coalition failed.
