Chapter 108 The War Begins

When Xiao Hongbo saw the flag of the Northern King's Mansion hanging on the wall of Beijun, he suddenly became very excited.

He shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Yancheng is right in front of us! Barbarian warriors, follow me!"

"Whoever can capture the Northern King! I will reward him with ten beauties! A thousand cattle and sheep!"

After hearing Xiao Hongbo's words, the barbarian soldiers instantly became excited, and the barbarian army marched faster.

At the same time.

Xiao Pengtian saw that the barbarian soldiers in front of him marched so fast, and he instantly felt very uneasy.

Too quiet!

Wanning River Valley is too quiet!

It's so quiet that it makes people feel suffocated and dull.

Even if the Northern King is really guarding Yancheng and waiting for the barbarian attack, it is not that there is no obstacle in Wanning River Valley to stop the barbarian army.

Xiao Pengtian has fought with the army of Daxia before, and knows the situation of the Daxia army. When the Daxia army is defending the city, it will inevitably create some obstacles in front of the city to prevent the cavalry from advancing.

In the past, when they went south to rob things, they robbed some small cities. The soldiers in those small cities created obstacles to prevent the barbarian cavalry from advancing, but the defenders of Yancheng did not do that?

Is this normal?

It is definitely not normal.

Xiao Pengtian suspected that the defenders of Yancheng were deliberately letting them approach Yancheng, or deliberately letting them enter the Wanning River Valley.

Xiao Pengtian thought to himself, I hope I am overthinking. If the defenders of Yancheng really let them enter the Wanning River Valley on purpose, then there will be a lot of trouble.

At this moment, the barbarian army is about to arrive at the city.

The soldiers of Yancheng have made preparations, and the soldiers of the artillery battalions on both sides of the Wanning River Valley have also adjusted the angle of the howitzers, and now they are just waiting for Lu Chen to give orders.

As the black mass of barbarian cavalry got closer and closer, the rumbling sound of the cavalry's horses became louder and louder. Under the influence of this sound, people's hearts can't help but speed up.

Lu Chen personally came to a howitzer, then adjusted the angle of the howitzer and aimed it at Xiao Hongbo's position.

Lu Chen had no intention of talking about martial ethics, nor did he intend to capture Xiao Hongbo alive. Anyway, it would be best to kill him with cannons if he could.

Xiao Hongbo naturally saw the howitzers on the city wall, but they didn't care, thinking that they were just catapults.

For these master-level strongmen, catapults were not a threat at all, so they just rushed up.

Looking at the barbarian army getting closer and closer, Lu Chen felt that it was almost time, and then he pulled the bolt directly.

The next moment, a 122mm grenade flew directly into the sky, and then hit several important barbarian figures in front of Xiao Hongbo in the form of a parabola.

As a master-level strongman, Xiao Hongbo naturally noticed the shell, but in his eyes it was just a stone.

Just when Xiao Hongbo was about to smash the stone with his axe, Xian Jia, the barbarian general next to Xiao Hongbo, kicked his legs and jumped up more than ten meters from his horse.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen was stunned. Is this the true strength of a master? He could jump so high just by relying on physical strength.

But at this moment, Xian Jia chopped the shell of the howitzer with the giant axe in his hand.

However, the next moment, the howitzer exploded directly.

Boom...

With a deafening explosion, the body of the master-level barbarian general Xian Jia was blown to pieces.

With the explosion of the howitzer, countless soldiers in front of Xiao Hongbo and his men were killed and wounded in an instant, and Xiao Hongbo and another barbarian master were also blown away several meters away by the explosion.

The originally excited barbarian army was instantly awakened by the explosion.

They finally realized that something was wrong.

The barbarian army, which was marching at a high speed, suddenly stopped, and the entire army was in chaos.

"Oh my god! What was that just now!"

"Grand...Grandmaster! Is there a Grandmaster in Yancheng!"

"The king is injured!"

"We want to avenge the king!"

"Kill!!!"

...

The already chaotic barbarian army paused for a moment and then launched a charge, which Lu Chen did not expect.

But this is not surprising, after all, it was just one shell, and they did not realize the horror of the howitzer.

Lu Chen admired their courage, but sometimes being too reckless is not a good thing.

Lu Chen then shouted loudly: "Fire!"

The next moment, the archers and artillerymen on the city wall launched an attack together.

Countless arrows rained from the sky.

And the howitzer also exploded in the barbarian army. After the grenades exploded, the people and horses were shattered, and the Wanning River Valley was too narrow, so a large area was blown up.

For a time, countless barbarian soldiers were killed and wounded.

At the same time

The artillery battalions ambushed on both sides of the Wanning River Valley did not attack immediately. They were waiting for Xiao Pengtian and his 50,000 soldiers to enter their firing range.

At this time, Xiao Pengtian found that the barbarian army in front of him was in chaos, and he immediately understood what must have happened.

Without a frown, he turned around without hesitation and immediately said to the soldiers behind him: "Beware of the back! Prepare to charge!"

Xiao Pengtian's reaction speed was very fast. He realized that they were going to be surrounded before the black cavalry came out.

Seeing that Xiao Pengtian and his men were already alert, an artilleryman said to Mu Jingwu beside him: "Captain Mu, if you don't attack now, the shells in Yancheng will be used up later."

There were not many howitzers in Yancheng, and most of the howitzer shells were given to the artillery on both sides of the Wanning River Valley.

Mu Jingwu glanced at Xiao Pengtian's 50,000 soldiers, and then shouted: "All battalions, get ready! Fire!"

At the command, dozens of shells fell into the barbarian army, and the barbarian cavalry's limbs and arms were blown all over the sky, and the soil on the ground also flew up more than ten meters high. Some barbarian cavalry were directly buried alive by the exploding soil.

This explosion was not far from Xiao Pengtian and his men. After seeing the tragic situation of the army in front, the 50,000 barbarian soldiers behind Xiao Pengtian were frightened and wanted to retreat.

"Wolf God! What kind of weapon is that!"

"When did Daxia have such a terrifying weapon!"

"General, we were fooled!"

"General, let's retreat quickly!"

...

Seeing the barbarian soldiers flying all over the sky, Xiao Pengtian certainly understood that they were fooled. Now the most important thing is to guard the retreat passage in the rear, so as to ensure that their barbarian cavalry can withdraw from the Wanning River Valley.

Otherwise, under the bombardment of Daxia's mysterious weapons, their 300,000 barbarian cavalry might have to die in Wanning River Valley.

Seeing Xiao Pengtian preparing to retreat with 50,000 troops, the artillerymen on both sides of Wanning River Valley became anxious. That was tens of thousands of barbarian troops, how could they let them run away.

Then some artillerymen immediately adjusted the direction of the howitzers and fired at Xiao Pengtian's 50,000 troops.

When a shell exploded in the crowd, Xiao Pengtian's 50,000 troops were in chaos in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Pengtian knew that he had to retreat quickly, and he immediately shouted: "Retreat! The whole army retreat!"

Then, the messenger took out the horn and blew the horn of retreat.

Woo woo woo~~~~! ! ! !
