Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 457 Great Rout

The cavalry commander who was thrown off by his horse rolled from the ground, his beard and hair were disheveled, his head was dazed in horror, thinking in his heart: What's going on?What exactly is going on?
He thought this in his heart, but what he yelled out was: "What the hell kind of magic is this?"

Amidst the rumbling sound, there were several thunderous bangs again. This time, the fire came from the hillside on the right side, which was the charging route of the infantry led by Huang Tianhu on the Southern Tang side.After the explosion with a loud noise, with a little bit of fire, the stone chips of the stone mines pulled out bloody lines in the air.After about one breath, the flames lit up again, and this time on the other side of the mountain, Zhu Yongwu crossed the infantry line.

The more than 100 people in Huaxia Weifu clenched their weapons tightly, and they were also taken aback by the power of the weapon newly developed by the Weapons Department, but at this moment there was still no shout. After being shocked, with Ye Chen's right hand wave, they moved towards The front rushed over quickly.

At this time, the entire battlefield is completely chaotic. Looking from a distance, the interlaced lights and explosions in the mountain road are like the thunder punishment cast by the gods in the sky. It is daunting and frightening.

The disintegrated Southern Tang soldiers ran away like a tide, and many of them even dropped their weapons and armor in order to run faster.

The rout spread in all directions in the night.Shangguan Bingyun and Lou Yanming each rode on their horses, gripped the reins tightly, and watched the flames and explosions on the other side of the mountain from afar.

"What's going on... It's gunpowder again... How is this possible? Doesn't it mean that to ensure the effectiveness of the buried gunpowder, it takes at least half a day for various arrangements? It should take at least a whole day for the gunpowder of this scale just now The arrangement is right." Shangguan Bingyun's face was extremely ugly, and the horse under him was turning uneasily, making small circles, Shangguan Bingyun murmured while controlling the horse.

With the mentality of her and Lou Yanming, with the scene of the suspension bridge last night, how could they not have imagined that the Huaxia Weifu might use gunpowder, but they had cooperated with people from the First Line Peak and the Holy Church to use gunpowder more than two months ago. Blowing up the cliff almost killed Ye Chen.At that time, it took several days for the people in the church to arrange the gunpowder.It is precisely because of this experience or experience that they thought that in such a short period of time, the people of the Huaxia Weifu simply did not have time to arrange explosives, so they did not have the slightest precautions in this regard.Otherwise, they would never have sent out the thousand cavalry they relied on to die like that.

At this time, looking from the opposite hillside, the open mouth of the mountain has become an uncontrollable huge chaos. Human figures are running in all directions, blood and corpses are scattered on the ground, or fly into the sky. In the air, frightened war horses fled in all directions, leaving their riders behind, and some crashed into the running crowd.Some of the knights were dragged around by one leg before they could get their legs out of the stirrups.Because of the darkness, every time the light from the explosion was lit up, people in the distance could see the chaos that seemed to be frozen in an instant more clearly, and the crowd behind were scared and collapsed almost immediately.

In fact, Shangguan Bingyun had never seen this kind of scene after the gunpowder exploded with her own eyes before, even though her mind and will were extraordinary, she was a little dazed for a while.However, at this time Lou Yanming had already calmed down, and with his dantian exerting force, his voice spread throughout the audience, shouting: "Hurry up and gather your own people, the explosive power of the gunpowder on the flat ground is limited, and the blast just now is not enough to kill you!" Hundreds of people, Zhu Yongwu and Huang Tianhu quickly recruit these people, hurry up."

In fact, Zhu Yongwu had already tried to recruit people before Lou Yanming gave the order.But Huang Tianhu was injured by the stone mine, and he couldn't react for a while. Hearing Lou Yanming's roar, he couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly roared and led more than ten Maitreya Sect and the Ministry of Punishment. Crushed soldiers.

However, after the two of them led more than a dozen masters to work hard, they already knew that it was absolutely impossible in a short time.

Because before these Tang troops were killed by beheading deserters fiercely and rewarding them heavily, and in addition to the fact that their side was defeated too quickly just now, it was too extraordinary and weird. Almost all Tang troops thought that the other side used In addition, he had already been killed before, and was on the verge of collapse.Although the masters of the Maitreya Sect tried to stop them, their manpower was limited after all. In fact, including the guards around Lou Yanming and Shangguan Bingyun, there were only more than 100 people.These more than 100 people killed some of the deserters who retreated the fastest, but it didn't help at all.

In the mountains at this time, there were scenes of collapse everywhere, some people shouted the demon method, some people shouted to run, some people just remembered how many brothers died in the battle just now, and ran over the corpses along the way.Zhu Yongwu and Huang Tianhu gathered more than 100 people taught by Maitreya, and they were still orderly, but they didn't dare to stay longer.Looking back, the group of masters from the Huaxia Weifu at the entrance of the mountain over there were fighting out all the way, harvesting and defeating their own side who had fled.

However, the Huaxia Weifu didn't chase too far away. After the army on the Southern Tang side completely collapsed, Ye Chen gave an order that everyone stopped chasing and killing, and started to use their superb skills to grab a scattered horse. The running horse, after being controlled and appeased, got on the horse and crossed the valley, heading north.

In the sky, Hai Dongqing circled around them within a radius of ten miles.

The fleeing in the mountains lasted for a long time, but the sound of fighting in the rear had already stopped.After recovering his sanity, the valley in front of him was still dotted with the light of torches.After Ye Chen and his party left, Lou Yanming led Zhu Yongwu and Huang Tianhu to gather some soldiers who were running slower.After ordering, there were about 130 or [-] people. A few of them could see clearly just now, and some of them fled in the chaos and didn't know where they went. They might not be able to meet until dawn.

But from the cavalry sprint just now to the end just now, at least more than 1000 soldiers in the Southern Tang Dynasty were killed or injured, most of them were cavalry. In addition, all the war horses were too frightened, and while throwing the cavalry off their horses, they rushed indiscriminately. Most of the cavalry and infantry who were killed or injured were actually trampled to death, fell to death, or trampled to death by the horses.

In fact, if Ye Chen had a slightly larger number of people and took advantage of the situation to hunt down and harvest, the more than 1000 people gathered by the Maitreya Sect at this time would probably not be spared.
