System, help me become the empress

Chapter 39 The Battle Begins

On the second day, at dawn, the Wala barracks.

"Report, General, our soldiers have not found the whereabouts of Dagan's soldiers... and no one knows what it was that exploded in our camp during the night attack last night."

"Where are those Dagan captives! Where's their emperor! Doesn't anyone recognize them!"

The anger in General Munda's voice resounded through the camp.

"...General, they said they only knew that it was called a firearm, but they didn't know the specific function or structure."

"Damn it!" General Mengda's face turned ugly, "I actually underestimated Dagan! How much more information did they hide! Give me an order to abandon the current camp and retreat a hundred miles to station."

"Wait a minute. Xian'an sent a thousand elite soldiers to the city gate of Shangjing to investigate the situation." General Meng Da seemed to have thought of something, and ordered, "The people we are going to ambush for the big job, haven't there been any news! Ask Ask them how many hole cards they have left!"

The subordinate who reported the situation of the battle was embarrassed: "General, the battle is so tight now, those who are in ambush can't deliver the news out of the city at all."

"They're all trash!" Meng Da angrily slapped the table, and then slapped the table again.

The subordinates withstood the pressure from the general with difficulty, not daring to raise their heads at all.

An hour later, a well-equipped Oirat cavalry appeared at the city gate of Shangjing. These soldiers were wearing tight armor, each riding a horse, holding a big knife, and charged aggressively.

Meng Zhiqian, who had already received the news secretly, also dispatched a team of thousands of people, opened the gates of the city, and fought face to face!
The Oirat cavalry are brave and good at fighting.

But these soldiers who worked hard were also trained specifically for the weaknesses of the Oirat cavalry.

The general led by Wala was sitting on the big black horse, roaring angrily: "Come on, we are going to sacrifice a lot of dried blood to the sky today!"

When the Dagan infantry confronted the Oirat cavalry head-on, the infantry's disadvantages were immediately revealed.It didn't take long for the infantry to be left behind by this group of cavalry.

Under the leadership of their general, the Wala soldiers on horses broke through the city gate!
Meng Zhiqian watched the scene calmly, and directed the people below with gestures to prepare for an ambush in the city.

The Oirat cavalry were red-eyed until they were led into a narrow corridor, which no one could have imagined.In the next moment, a group of magical soldiers holding firecrackers seemed to descend from the sky on both sides.

The role of ancient firecrackers is similar to that of modern "shotguns". It is not good for long-distance combat, but its lethality is still fierce in close combat.The horses of the Oirat cavalry were frightened by the sound of the artillery shells and began to run wildly, and kept throwing the Oirat soldiers off the horses.At this time, the Dagan infantry, who had been left behind, began to rush over one by one to make up their swords.

The city gates are closed.

Another new army of thousands of soldiers rushed up to the Wala cavalry.

"Come on!"

……

Soon, all the elite Oirat cavalry of nearly a thousand people were wiped out.

The meaning of this victory to Daqian is completely different!
Before this, the image of the Oirat cavalry being invincible was deeply ingrained, but at this time, the elite Oirat soldiers encountered by the soldiers were like fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

The myth of the Oirat cavalry is broken!
Dagan's morale skyrocketed!

There is no such thing as invincible in the world!

For General Mengda, it was terrible. Not only was the elite army of thousands of people wiped out, they didn't even bring back half a piece of news!

Even if he gritted his teeth, he could only swallow this loss in his stomach silently!

When Xu Youxi heard the news in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered all the soldiers who participated in the battle to be rewarded!
【Dead capital (progress bar): 45/100】

As the progress bar of "Dead Capital" recedes every time, Xu Youxi's prestige value is also rising rapidly.

"Master Meng, what's the matter?"

Meng Zhiqian was not surprised: "Return to Your Majesty, the morale of our army has soared! Mengda is really mad, and seems to be preparing to gather all the troops to attack the city."

"The morale of our army is rising now, and Wala's choice to attack the city may not succeed." Xu Youxi was exceptionally calm.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I immediately arrange for each city gate guard to prepare for the battle outside the city."

Xu Youxi was thoughtful: "How sure is Meng Shangshu? I have also read the summary of the previous battles. Oala relies on the advantage of the cavalry to face it head-on. We will suffer a lot."

"If you want to defend the city, I have % certainty; I have % certainty to defeat Oara; The pawns not only have cannons, but also 'cars'."

Xu Youxi's eyes lit up suddenly: "Meng Shangshu is really powerful, is the 'Pan Wagon' already ready for war?"

The "partial van" is the prototype of the armored vehicles of later generations. It is divided into three floors. The bottom floor is equipped with five gun infantry for the driver, the middle floor is the ammunition warehouse, and the top floor is the fort.

Shenjiying started to try to build a "partial car" decades ago, but due to various reasons such as funding, it has been stranded. This time, Xu Youxi also spent almost all of the remaining points to exchange for the improved car. Design drawings of several different 'side vans', for Meng Zhiqian to try to manufacture.

Due to the rush of time, the temporary van also has defects such as insufficient workmanship, small size and heavy weight.Even so, the comprehensive strength of the van car in several trials is enough to amaze everyone.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Meng Zhiqian nodded, "Thanks to the design drawings of the vans delivered by His Majesty to the minister, and the cooperation with the craftsmen in the city who rushed to work day and night, I was fortunate enough to rush to manufacture a full six vans. Small van. Although it is not conducive to attack, it is enough to protect me from going to the capital. The city wall is as solid as gold!"

"Very good!" Xu Youxi praised repeatedly, "Having Meng Shangshu is the good news for me!"

#
Three days later.

The Wala cavalry was divided into three teams, two of which were false attacks, and the main force of troops attacked Chaoyangmen in Shangjing.

The guard outside Chaoyangmen City is Yongsheng Boxin, who is also a veteran. Although the title of "bo" in the family is hereditary, being sent to guard the city gate is also very powerful.

Xin Wuxi was a cunning man. Seeing the number of people coming from Oirat, he had a bad idea. I'm afraid the Oirat cavalry would use his place as a breakthrough, so he hurriedly notified the civil servants who guarded the city with him to call for help.

The city gate of Chaoyangmen opened wide, and two three or four-meter-high "partial vans" drove out of the city.

This is amazing!
This kind of weapon was unheard of and unseen in the feudal era. The Oirat cavalry was still full of suspicion. Could it be that some big-hearted people are planning to cheat?
When they rushed over on horseback, there was a sudden and crazy sound of shells in this unknown huge thing.Wala's horses were also frightened, and stopped moving one after another, and more even started to run back.

This is simply retreat without a fight!

Meng Daqian also noticed that the situation was not right, but he had retreated several times before, and if he retreated again this time, his morale might not be much left.

It's better to take a gamble, Emperor Sheng Yuan failed to produce any magical weapons during the border battle before, and it has only been about half a month, so they can make them!
General Mengda thought for a moment, then ordered the cavalry to avoid the huge iron object of unknown origin, and prepare to attack the opponent's general, which is Xin Wuzheng.

However, at this time, Wala's horse was not listening. In the past, when the horse was afraid, the cavalry would blindfold the horse's eyes. Now there are explosions covering the sky. How can blindfolding the horse's eyes work?
At this time, the two cavalry led by Meng Zhiqian and Yao Desheng also rushed to support, and surrounded the Oirat cavalry who had already lost their positions.The soldiers of the Shenji camp threw the 'Shenhuo Flying Crow' down frantically from the city gate, and the sound of the firecrackers never stopped.

At this time, General Munda has realized that although he has a large number of people, he may not necessarily have the advantage, and even has the idea of ​​retreating.

But only then did I want to run, it was not that easy.

……

Dagan also fought hard in this battle.

Finally, Wala was defeated, with numerous casualties.

　Wow, I received three monthly tickets today!Thank you ladies!
　　I bought a movie ticket for tomorrow and am going to see the Water Gate Bridge alone.

　　I've got the tissues ready, I'm going to cry tomorrow.
