Water Margin people

The soldiers of the slave army roared as they controlled their war horses. These were the horses that had accompanied them for many years and were normally very docile, but now they were terrified and wanted to run away.

"kill!"

Seeing that the enemy was in chaos, Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun immediately led their men to attack. The two armies went straight into the enemy's formation and broke it apart.

"Don't be afraid, use gunpowder to hold on!"

Yelu Dashi roared and urged the army to use gunpowder.

The slave army in the rear immediately took out gourds filled with gunpowder from their waists, lit them and threw them forward.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was another explosion. Although it was less powerful than Qi's, it was enough for war horses. They also wanted to use gunpowder to intimidate the enemy's troops.

However, Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun's army was not affected at all, and the war horses seemed unable to feel the explosion of gunpowder.

"impossible!"

Yelu Dashi looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. They were all warriors who had grown up on horseback. War horses were like their hands and feet and had long become a part of their bodies. Even they could not control the war horses in the gunpowder explosion, so how could the enemy do it?

Others don’t know what the situation is in the Central Plains, but Yelu Dashi knows very well that the Central Plains does not produce war horses and its cavalry has always been weaker than that of the northern grasslands.

"kill!"

Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun didn't care about this. They led their troops and showed their might, killing the enemies in front of them so badly that they couldn't resist.

"They blinded the horse and blocked its ears!"

The slave army in close combat immediately discovered the problem. Although the enemy had excellent riding skills, they were still inferior to them. The reason they were able to remain unaffected by the explosion of gunpowder was entirely due to blocking the vision and hearing of the war horses.

The chaotic slave army had calmed down by now. After pacifying their horses, they continued fighting.

It has to be said that the fighting power of these slave soldiers is really strong, and they are comparable to the elite troops of Qi State.

Sun Lei stroked his chin and looked at the battlefield. He remembered that the Mongol invasion of the West was ultimately defeated by the slave army in the West. Although a big reason for this was that they had lost their fighting spirit after repeated battles, it would not be easy for an army to defeat the Mongol cavalry.

"Your Majesty, these people have lost their fighting spirit. Now it's time for a real fight. My Qi army is not afraid of them!"

Li Zhu looked at Sun Lei and said, the enemy's war horses are very sophisticated, and the first wave of attack is the most difficult to resist. Now the enemy's momentum of attack has been lost. In the next battle, Qi State, which is well-trained and proficient in military formations, will have the upper hand.

"Yelü Dashi doesn't seem ready to give up."

Sun Lei spoke while looking at Yelu Dashi in the distance. At this moment, Yelu Dashi was still yelling and commanding the soldiers to fight.

Yue Fei also led his troops to charge out at this time. The soldiers he led were elite soldiers picked from thousands of miles away. As soon as they joined the battlefield, the slave army in front showed signs of defeat.

"Gunpowder, keep using gunpowder!"

Yelu Dashi roared, and the army around him quickly got a large amount of gunpowder, rushed to the front and threw it into the Qi army formation, hoping to stop the Qi army.

The large amount of gunpowder used achieved results. Although the power of Western Liao's gunpowder was not too great, the explosion and thick smoke it produced were indeed very troublesome.

Yue Fei, who was charging, retreated with a cough, and his armor was somewhat blackened.

"Oh no, the gunpowder is mixed with something, retreat quickly."

Yue Fei suddenly felt nauseous and immediately realized that something was wrong. He had been preparing for this battle for a long time and would not be so upset just because of a little smoke.

The soldiers also realized the problem and retreated quickly back to the formation.

"Doctor An, prepare the detoxifying soup immediately! Also prepare masks for the soldiers to wear."

Sun Lei also noticed that something was wrong with the soldiers, and immediately gave orders to An Daoquan beside him.

"These are poisonous smoke! These guys are too cunning!" Qiao Daoqing's voice was cold. If poison is added to gunpowder, poisonous smoke will be produced after the explosion. Although it is not easy to cause death, it can greatly affect the enemy.

Sun Lei frowned at this time. He did not expect the enemy to be so insidious. The poisonous smoke was far more troublesome than the explosion. Even with a mask, it could only protect the mouth and nose, but not the eyes. He had no way to make goggles or a gas mask.

"Gather and kill!"

Yelu Dashi was overjoyed when he saw that he had defeated the enemy, but in the end he was still the winner.

Yelu Dashi gathered all his troops and started the charge again.

"Your Majesty, I'll take someone with me!"

Qiao Daoqing looked at Sun Lei and asked for a fight, saying that the enemy did not follow the rules and even used poisonous smoke and poisonous gas, so he could not blame him for his ruthless methods.

"Well, if he likes playing with gunpowder, then let him see how his ancestors played with it!"

Sun Lei nodded. Yelu Dashi had already taken out the poison gas bombs, so this battle would have to be fought in a different way.

Qiao Daoqing took the order and set off with the Shenji Camp. They brought mortars with them to show those foreign races what gunpowder is.

"Your Majesty, if Yelu Dashi loses the battle, he will probably flee!"

Yan Qing suddenly spoke up and said that it was still some time before dawn. If Yelu Dashi wanted to escape, he only needed to disappear into the darkness.

"That's a question, Yue Fei, are you okay?"

Sun Lei asked as he looked at Yue Fei who was washing his eyes with clean water.

"It's okay, we retreated quickly, I just got blinded!"

Yue Fei said.

Sun Lei took a look at Yue Fei's complexion. Apart from the redness of his eyes, there seemed to be no major problems.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers have taken the antidote pills and cleaned their eyes. They are fine!"

An Daoquan spoke and checked the condition of the soldiers. The enemy's poisonous smoke was not very toxic. The most important thing was that the irritating gas made people uncomfortable.

"Then I'll give you a task. Yelu Dashi might run away later. You know what to do!"

Sun Lei looked at Yue Fei and said.

"The general will know!"

Yue Fei understood what he meant and immediately clasped his fists to accept the order. He soon led the army away from the rear and disappeared into the night.

The situation on the central army side also attracted the attention of the other side. The Qi army, which had already had an absolute advantage, became slow in its attack, and they were a little worried about the central army being besieged by the enemy.

"Just do your own thing! Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, how can those people be able to match him!"

Seeing that everyone was distracted, Lin Chong shouted to remind everyone that the central army had 40,000 troops guarding it, and they were all elite soldiers, so the enemy had no hope at all.

"Yes, let's just kill all the enemies!"

Wang Jin also shouted loudly that if they put in a little more effort, the enemy would be defeated.

"kill!"

Everyone focused their attention on the battle. There were nearly 300,000 enemies, three times their number. If they wanted to defeat them overnight, they would have to kill them with absolute strength.

The Qi army, which was fighting at full strength, was unmatched, and those Western Liao troops who had some ideas were instantly beaten back. (End of this chapter)
