Chapter 837 The Power of the Bronze Cannon

Boom, boom, boom!

Hundreds of cowhide drums with a height of two people vibrated, and the dull sound of the drums echoed throughout the battlefield.

Millions of soldiers and horses, all awe-inspiring, a chill.

The heavy armored infantry in the front row clenched their weapons tightly in their right hands.

They charged forward and most likely died.

In the great battle to determine the ownership of the northern part of the Han Empire, the casualties may be very heavy.

Even the war horses seemed to realize that there might be a terrible battle, and panted uneasily.

A square formation of ten thousand people is arranged one by one, and every square formation of several or more than a hundred thousand people forms a larger square formation.

At least dozens of famous generals and thousands of ordinary generals participated in the battle, using more than one million horses.

Chu Tian watched the entire battlefield from a height, and there were nearly a hundred thousand square formations.

Taking 10,000 people as a small unit, not many civilizations have such a population.

This is just a war within the Han Empire.

"If we lose the battle, we will retreat to Youzhou and recharge our batteries in order to make a comeback. We have a large territory and a large population. As long as we defend Youzhou, we will win again and again sooner or later."

Before the decisive battle began, Chu Tian had already left a retreat for himself.

Even if he is defeated, Chutian still has an advantage in size, so he will not be injured, and he will be able to make a comeback soon.

Therefore, Chutian can give it a go.

Mingguan can't afford to lose.

Without Liaoxi, relying on Liaodong, it is impossible to make a comeback.

Unless there is chaos in the Central Plains, the overlord of Liaodong can enter the pass.

The pressure the two bear is not the same.

Cao Cao commanded troops and horses, and marched towards Murong Xianbei's cavalry.

The tiger and leopard cavalry were sharp, and a small group of low-level cavalry led by Cao Xiu went to test the Murong cavalry.

"The wind today seems a bit noisy."

Cao Cao didn't know that the red cannon was deployed in the direction of his attack.

The red-clothed cannon weighing several thousand kilograms was difficult to move, and was fixed in one position by the Ming army.

"Father, you seem a little restless."

Cao Ang followed Cao Cao to fight, and found that Cao Cao was restless and couldn't help being puzzled.

"This battle is quite dangerous. You stay at the legion's camp, otherwise, your life will be in danger."

Cao Cao seemed to realize that Cao Ang was an unlucky guy. If Cao Ang was allowed to rush to the front, and the opponents were Murong Ba and Murong Ke, then Cao Ang might be killed by Murong Xianbei's cavalry.

Opposite Cao Cao, in addition to the cannon in red, there are two elite heavy cavalry from Murong Ba and Murong Ke.

The dragon city cavalry is fully equipped, holding a sharp horse lance, tall and big horse, with Xianbei pattern, brave and good at fighting.

Their chief general, Murong Ba, personally held a horse, and realized that this battle was about the status of the Xianbei tribe.

If they lose, the Murong Tribe will let the Chutian Tribe deal with them, and Murong Ba and his group will most likely lose power.

Murong Ke's serial iron horse army is on the side of the dragon city iron cavalry, sitting on an equal footing with the dragon city iron cavalry.

Murong Ke's military talent might be slightly better than Murong Ba's.

Compared with the dragon city iron horse, the armor of the serial iron horse is heavier,

The horses were almost covered in icy iron armor. Between the war horses, there are chains of iron chains.

The serial iron horse almost lost its speed in pursuit of defense.

It is impossible for Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to break through Murong Ke's chain of iron horses.

The serial iron horse is close to the most defensive cavalry in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry wanted to go, and Murong Ke's serial iron horse could not catch up.

"In a battle of millions of soldiers and horses, the tiger and leopard cavalry have nowhere to escape. The strongest shield and the sharpest spear will defeat the tiger and leopard cavalry."

Murong Ke was also somewhat dissatisfied with Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

In the melee of millions of soldiers and horses, the destructive power caused by the serial iron horses can be imagined, and there is no extra room for maneuver on the battlefield.

Boom, boom! ! !

The sound of the war drum suddenly became urgent, urging each legion to attack the opposite position.

The ear-piercing friction between the blade and the scabbard sounded, and Cao Cao pulled out the sword at his waist. The generals of the Tiger and Leopard Army, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu, followed Cao Cao to fight.

Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun were transferred to the Tiger and Leopard Army by Chu Tian, ​​responsible for protecting Cao Cao's safety and strengthening the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's ability to break the formation.

"This battle is not easy."

Xia Houyuan fought Murong Ba before, and was defeated many times, so he was afraid of Murong Ba.

A row of tigers and leopards was approaching the Murong Xianbei cavalry.

"Order the whole army to kill either Murong Ba or Murong Ke, and reward three hundred taels of gold!"

In order to motivate the Tiger and Leopard Army, Cao Cao spared no expense.

The three hundred taels of gold was not funded by Chutian, but Cao Cao's private fund. Only by trying to get rid of Murong Ba and Murong Ke, two powerful opponents, can Cao Cao gain military exploits and continue to climb up.

Cao Cao's family is still very powerful. Cao Song owns many houses and manors in Xiacheng, so Cao Cao can really take out six hundred taels of gold.

Six hundred taels of gold can get rid of the two powerful enemies Murong Ba and Murong Ke, which is very cost-effective for Cao Cao.

"Whoever kills Cao Cao will reward 30,000 cattle and sheep!"

Murong Ba also had a headache for Cao Cao, and hoped that someone in the tribe could kill Cao Cao.

Thirty thousand cattle and sheep, Murong Ba thinks it is totally worth it.

Xia Jun, Ming Jun, millions of soldiers and horses are pressing on every step of the way, and the swords are on the verge of breaking out, and the war is about to break out!

"Let me go to attack the enemy army and see if there is an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

Cao Chun volunteered and commanded a group of tiger and leopard cavalry to test the Murong cavalry.

Cao Chun's expression was even more serious than Cao Cao's.

Cao Cao is a hero who can still make waves in adversity, so he is not afraid.

Cao Chun knew that the Murong Xianbei tribe had two elite high-level heavy cavalry, which were not inferior to the tiger and leopard cavalry.

The Dragon City Cavalry and Lianhuan Iron Horse belonged to the armored cavalry of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, armored to the teeth, wishing to transform themselves into an iron man.

The tiger and leopard rider didn't move the tin cans very much.

Holding a long spear, Cao Chun led eight hundred tiger and leopard cavalry, and took the initiative to test Murong Ba's dragon city cavalry.

"Father, the child is willing to go and defeat it!"

Murong Lin saw hundreds of tiger and leopard riders trying to attack the Murong tribe's army, so he asked Murong Ba for orders.

"The head of the beheaded general will come back to see me."

"yes!"

Murong Lin led a team of dragon city iron cavalry to meet the tiger and leopard cavalry commanded by Cao Chun.

Two elite cavalry, another fateful confrontation broke out!

In order to deal with Murong Ba's heavy cavalry, the tiger and leopard cavalry also replaced with thicker heavy armor. At the same time, the Chutian forces produced horses very early. Therefore, the equipment of tiger and leopard cavalry is almost the same as that of the equipped cavalry of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The iron hooves crossed, and the horse collided with the iron armor. Cao Chun thrust out a spear with all his strength. The spear almost brushed against Murong Lin's helmet. When it rubbed against the armor, Murong Lin's ears rang because of the impact from the helmet.

He was almost killed by Cao Chun.

"Should we use the red cannon to defeat the tiger and leopard cavalry?"

Kong Youde was guarding the rare artillery position. He could already see hundreds of tiger and leopard cavalry fighting with Dragon City cavalry, and a group of iron cans collided.

"The main force of the tiger and leopard cavalry has not yet entered the battle, so there is no need to use the red cannon. Even the main force of the tiger and leopard cavalry may not allow us to use the red cannon. The Murong brothers, their cavalry are iron pots..."

Hong Chengchou did not use the red cannon easily.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, only military generals from the Ming and early Qing dynasties, as well as players with chances, such as Xia Liang, may have bonuses for firearms.

On the battlefield in western Liaoning, the two armies approached each other despite the arrow rain from each other, and fought hand-to-hand!

The heavy infantry in infantry armor were stalemate on a front line, their spears stabbed at each other, bleeding for hundreds of miles!

Tens of thousands of elite troops have joined the battle!

The infantry of the Xia army had the Shenji Battalion as the backbone, while the Ming army had the Eight Banners of the Han army also equipped with firearms.

White smoke filled the air. In the ancient Han Empire, a small number of firearms appeared, while cold weapons were still popular.

The 5,000-strong Shenji Battalion seemed small in the entire battlefield.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses fought, millions of arrows rained down on the sky, and black rain fell in waves.

Not long after the battle, both sides suffered tens of thousands of casualties each!

In order to replenish the troops, Chutian dispatched many low-level troops from the pass, and these soldiers were like moths to the flame, involved in the battle.

"Kill the enemy!"

The battle became more and more fierce, Cao Cao raised his sword high, and commanded the main force of the tiger and leopard cavalry to kill the soldiers and horses of the Murong tribe on the opposite side!

"Cao Mengde, court death!"

Murong Baxu waved his horse, and the Dragon City cavalry began to trot and speed up, launching an offensive!

Murong Ke's serial iron horse has never moved.

Ming Guan paid more attention to Murong Ke than the red-clothed cannon.

"Serial iron horses, once this kind of high-level heavy cavalry charges, its lethality is stronger than that of the red-clothed cannon..."

Mingguan was staring at the grand battlefield indifferently. The clash of weapons, the neighing of war horses, and the sound of war drums mixed together and echoed across the entire battlefield.

In troubled times, human life is like nothing.

"Before the serial iron horses attack, first use the red cannon to attract their attention, and order Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde to attack...Cao Cao's tiger and leopard army."

Mingguan ordered one after another.

Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry are about to meet Murong Ba's Dragon City iron cavalry, and Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde, who are protecting the red cannon, have received an order from Mingguan, asking them to use the red cannon to attack the tiger and leopard cavalry.

"Although the tiger and leopard cavalry are also elite, defeating the tiger and leopard cavalry can't decide the outcome. Why..."

Hong Chengchou couldn't help hesitating when he received the order.

Chutian's imperial guards are the real main force, and Cao Cao is the side division protecting the flanks.

"Bombard tiger and leopard cavalry!"

The artillerymen of the Qing army loaded black powder and a few solid bullets.

boom! !

boom! !

The red-clothed cannon roared, and more than a dozen solid bullets fell into the charging tiger and leopard rider, instantly killing the hit tiger and leopard rider!

Regardless of horses or cavalry, if they were hit by solid bullets, they would all be bloody and shattered into a ball!

The solid bullet plowed a bloody path!

There was a short gap in the place plowed by the solid bullets. The tiger and leopard riders around hadn't realized what attacked them, and a few tiger and leopard riders had already been turned into pieces!

Accompanied by loud noises and white smoke, the red cannon's lethality was second to none, and it was even more terrifying to shake the morale of the legion.

"Is this the power of the red cannon..."

Cao Cao was also shocked by the damage caused by the red cannon.

In the Ming army's army formation, gunpowder smoke curled up, temporarily covering the sight.

Cao Cao could clearly feel that the tiger and leopard cavalry's offensive had stopped and their morale had declined.

"Defeat the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"

Seeing the power of the red-clothed cannon exert its power, Murong Ba trembled in his heart. If he was hit by the solid bullets of the red-clothed cannon, he might turn into blood stains.

Taking advantage of the blow to the morale of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the turmoil in the charge formation, the Dragon City Iron Cavalry fought the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!

"Go and report to the lord, the red cannon owned by the Ming army was deployed on the left wing."

Cao Cao thought it necessary to inform Chu Tian of the exact location of the red cannon.

The red cannons of the Qing army fired again, dozens of solid bullets were thrown, and nearly a hundred tigers and leopards were harvested!

"My lord, Cao Cao reported that the red cannon of the Ming army appeared opposite the left army!"

"Sure enough, the morale of the tiger and leopard riders is declining..."

Chu Tian could see the morale changes of the tiger and leopard cavalry through the legion panel.

[Legion]: Tiger and Leopard Legion (custom)

【Chief General】: Cao Cao

[Status]: Fear (attack power ↓ formation maintenance ↓)

【Average grade】: 63

[Morale]: 75 (Shock: Morale decline speed +35%)

[Physical Strength]: 78

[Subordinate arms]: tiger and leopard cavalry, low-level cavalry

Before the decisive battle in western Liaoning, the morale of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard army was high, around 93, but after the bombardment of the red cannons and the battle with the dragon city cavalry, the morale dropped to the current 75.

If this continues, the morale of the tiger and leopard riders will soon drop below 50. Not only will there be no bonus, but it will reduce their combat power.

"The speed at which firearms reduce morale is too fast. Even generals who have the ability to restore morale may collapse under the bombardment of artillery."

Chu Tian can probably guess that the red cannon has its own negative effects such as "shock" and "fear".

Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry encountered trouble this time.

"Order Wei Qing to send out a cavalry to support Cao Cao. Monk Wanyan Chen, you command the Zhongxiao Army, join forces and try to capture the opposite place where the red cannons are deployed."

Sure enough, Chutian sent cavalry to attack the red cannon positions preset by Mingguan.

Bronze artillery has a great blow to morale, and red cannons cannot be allowed to attack the morale of various legions.

"Even if the final general dies, he will still complete the mission of the master!"

Monk Wanyan Chen got on his horse and put on the iron cap.

"Compared with the cannon in red, the loyal and filial army is more important, so don't take risks."

Chu Tian was not very willing to exchange Monk Wanyan Chen's Zhongxiao Army, Heli Hejun and Hongyi Cannon.

"Haral, Bathory, you also need to be prepared."

Ekaterina ordered the two subordinates to go on.

"In addition to the bronze artillery, Murong Ke's serial iron horses need to be paid attention to. It is said that when Cao Cao fought with him, Murong Ke never made a big move to use the serial iron horses, but only used them to protect the formation."

When Chu Tian was dealing with the Hongyi cannon set up by Mingguan, he also noticed Murong Ke's serial iron horses.

The battlefield is stalemate, and once the serial iron horse charges, it is very difficult to avoid it.

"General, General Wei Qing has sent General Xue Wanche to help, and asked us to focus on defense along the way, and pay close attention to the movements of Murong Ke's serial iron horses!"

"Did the lord say how to deal with the red-clothed cannon?"

"My lord has sent a cavalry to attack the position where the red cannon is."
