"Jiu'erhan, we can't go on like this. It's almost dawn and it will be very disadvantageous for us!"

Ajisi looked at Yelu Dashi and said, it is still dark now, everything on the battlefield is blurry, the morale can still be maintained, but once it is dawn, everything will be exposed to the sunlight, and at that time the morale of the army will be lost and the army will have no strength to fight again.

"Gunpowder opens the way!"

Yelu Dashi roared angrily. He knew that this would not work. The soldiers took the gourds filled with gunpowder and were about to throw them.

Hua Rong, Pang Wanchun and Hao Siwen did not lead their troops to stop them. The soldiers from Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun's camps did not even use bows and crossbows to shoot.

"kindness?"

Yelu Dashi looked confused, but he didn't care. No matter what the enemy did, he had no way to retreat. He brought a large amount of gunpowder this time, with the purpose of defeating the enemy at this moment.

"Bang bang bang!"

Muffled sounds rang out in the darkness, but the sound was not too loud and the Western Liao army did not even hear it.

The Western Liao army threw the gourds in their hands, and the gunpowder exploded in front of the formation, thick smoke rose, and the Qi army was forced to retreat again and again.

Yelu Dashi was ecstatic. The people of Qi were afraid of death, but his men were not afraid of death, especially the slave soldiers. Death had no effect on them at all.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as the Western Liao army was advancing, a violent explosion was heard, and the soldiers in the front were blown to the ground.

The explosion caused the Western Liao army to retreat in panic. Artillery shells were much more powerful than grenades. Grenades only caused some vibrations, while the impact force of mortar shells could directly knock over cavalry.

The mortar bombardment did not stop, and the shells fell into the Western Liao army like hail. The violent explosion caused the charging Western Liao army to retreat in fear.

"This again!"

Ibrahim recognized the object of the explosion. It was the cannonball used by the Qi army when it attacked Xingxing Gorge.

"No matter what, the cavalry will charge from both wings!"

Yelu Dashi roared and gave orders, and the army around him quickly rushed to both wings.

"Attack!"

Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun led the army to charge forward. This time they seized the initiative and reached the enemy first.

"After the artillery fire, the whole army will charge forward!"

Sun Lei looked at the people around him and said that he was not going to wait any longer, it was time to end this battle.

The bombardment was still going on. Sun Lei had always advocated bombarding the ground with artillery fire if he was rich, and taking roundabout ways if he was poor. Now that he was rich, he didn't feel bad about bombarding the ground with artillery fire.

"Your Majesty, are you going to step forward?"

Zhu Wu looked at Sun Lei holding the dragon head stick and looking eager to try, and said hesitantly.

"Of course. The enemy is right in front of us. How can we not go up?"

Sun Lei nodded.

"Your Majesty, I think it's best for you not to go forward. The battlefield is too chaotic. Your Majesty, as the emperor, does not need to put yourself in danger."

Zhu Wujin said.

"With Mr. Li here, it's no problem. We also have them."

Sun Lei looked at Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Deng Fei, Ou Peng, Ma Jin, Teng Xun and others around him. He wondered what danger could there be with these people around.

Zhu Wu looked at the generals and knew that it was useless to dissuade them. Saying too much might even hurt the generals' feelings.

Everyone was so excited when they heard this that they were speechless. They had long wanted to lead their troops out, but they were the central army guards and needed to protect the emperor's safety.

"Remember, you must be ruthless in killing the enemies after you go up there. As you have seen, those slave soldiers are fearless and unafraid of death. The best way is to let them die."

Sun Lei reminded everyone.

"The general will know!"

Everyone obeyed in unison.

"Your Majesty, let's go together!"

Qiongying looked at Sun Lei and asked for a fight. The female soldiers in the battalion had not been assigned any combat missions yet. "You guys?"

Sun Lei hesitated a little. The battlefield was brutal and not suitable for women. Although the female soldiers were well trained, they were still no match for men on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, we female soldiers are not just for show. We are also capable of fighting."

Qiongying said seriously, while Hu Sanniang and Pang Qiuxia beside her were also looking at Sun Lei.

Hu Sanniang couldn't speak up because of her status. She could of course act coquettishly in front of Sun Lei and beg for mercy, but the problem was that this was the military. If she did that, the female soldiers in the barracks would never be able to hold their heads up again.

But Pang Qiuxia is not good at speaking, so she certainly can't express herself well enough to ask for a fight.

Finally, the three women discussed it and decided that Qiongying should say this.

"Okay, you guys line up behind the main force of the central army!"

Sun Lei nodded. Since he had brought the female soldiers to the battlefield, it was only right for them to go into battle and kill the enemy.

When the female soldiers heard the news, they all clapped and cheered with joy.

"Your Majesty, I want to go too!"

Seeing that women could go to the battlefield, Xin Qiji decided that he must not fall behind.

"What are you doing as a kid?"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Although I am young, I am also a man. Women like them can fight in battle, so how can I hide behind them?"

  Xin Qiji puffed out his chest and said, after all, he was a man, how could he be outdone by a woman?

The women in the female barracks were not angry when they heard Xin Qiji's words. They all covered their mouths and laughed. If an adult man said this, they would definitely be furious and think it was an insult to the female barracks. But it was a different matter since the person who spoke was a child.

"Okay then, you will set off with the female barracks."

Seeing Xin Qiji's expectant look, Sun Lei said with a smile.

"what!"

Xin Qiji was very anxious. He didn't want to be with a woman. If this got out, would the women and children be killed?

"Military orders are as heavy as a mountain!"

Sun Lei shut Xin Qiji up with just four words.

Lu You was laughing on the side. He told Xin Qiji to talk less, but this guy wouldn't listen. Now he's suffering the consequences.

Lu You was already an adult and held an official position, so naturally he had to charge into battle with the central army.

The mortar bombardment lasted for a long time, completely destroying the Western Liao army in the front, and the entire front of the army was empty.

"kill!"

As soon as the sound of the artillery bombardment stopped, the central army immediately charged forward.

The Western Liao army could not withstand the attack of tens of thousands of troops. Although the slave army fought to the death, their numbers were greatly reduced due to the bombing and they were no longer able to fight effectively.

"Die!"

When everyone saw the enemy, they roared in anger and attacked with their weapons without mercy.

"Juerhan, something is wrong, Sun Lei is coming to kill us!"

Bilege said to Yelu Dashi in horror. In the direction of his finger, the flag of the Monkey King had already arrived in front of the formation. That was Sun Lei's imperial flag. Where the flag was, Sun Lei was.

"Sun Lei!"

Yelu Dashi roared while gritting his teeth.

"Put on heavy armor and follow me!"

Yelu Dashi, however, could not count the number of people. He shouted to the last 3,000 soldiers around him, saying that these were his confidants, all of them were nobles after the fall of the Liao Dynasty, and they were thinking about restoring their country all the time.

Those people quickly changed into heavy armor, and a 3,000-man heavy armored cavalry appeared in front of everyone. (End of this chapter)
