Chapter 109 Charge with me!

As the retreat horns sounded in the Wanning River Valley, the barbarian soldiers at the front finally came to their senses. Then, before the seriously injured Xiao Hongbo could give the order, the hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers at the vanguard also sounded the retreat horns.

In fact, Lu Chen's hundreds of cannonballs were simply not enough to kill all of the hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers.

However, this was the first time the barbarian cavalry had seen such a terrifying weapon, which amplified their fear.

People are always most afraid of the unknown, and the barbarian soldiers didn't know how many of those explosive "stones" were in Yancheng.

Waaaaahh ...

Waaaaaahh ...

The urgent sound of retreat horns echoed through the Wanning River Valley. The barbarian soldiers fled frantically, their initial formation completely broken, as they only cared about escaping.

Soon, a serious stampede occurred in the Wanning River Valley. Many barbarian cavalrymen were knocked to the ground and then trampled to death by the barbarian cavalrymen behind them.

Seeing the barbarian soldiers in complete chaos, Lu Chen finally understood what it meant for an army to collapse like a house of cards.

If you really count the barbarian cavalry killed by howitzers, there are probably less than 10,000 soldiers, but Lu Chen estimates that the number of soldiers trampled to death by their own people is probably close to 10,000.

At this moment, Mu Changtian, who was riding on horseback, was already impatient.

The soldiers inside the city were ready to charge.

Lu Chen immediately said, "Order the artillery battalion to fire all the shells, leave not a single one!"

As the flag signals were relayed, the artillerymen in the Wanning Valley immediately began bombarding the fleeing barbarian soldiers.

Seeing the barbarian cavalry being blown to pieces, even the soldiers in the artillery battalion couldn't help but gasp.

Many of the artillerymen in the battalion were archers, veterans who had fought in the defense of Northshire against the barbarians.

But when have they ever seen such a scene?

The once invincible barbarian cavalry were mercilessly annihilated by howitzers.

The thought of such a terrifying weapon being used against them sent chills down the spines of the artillery battalion soldiers.

The soldiers couldn't help but feel fortunate that they were born in the Northern Commandery, that they were soldiers of the Northern Commandery, and that they were soldiers of the Northern King.

at the same time.

Severely injured, Xiao Hongbo stood up with the help of his men. He was still confused and had not yet figured out what was going on.

All he knew was that a powerful force suddenly blew him away.

Seeing that Xiao Hongbo was still alive, Lu Chen immediately took out a Barrett rifle from his spatial system, loaded it with bullets, and aimed it at Xiao Hongbo in the distance.

At this moment, Mu Changtian came up from under the city wall, wanting Lu Chen to immediately order him to go out of the city to pursue the barbarian cavalry.

However, as soon as he arrived in front of Lu Chen, he noticed that Lu Chen had a long black stick in his hand, which was pointed at Xiao Hongbo in the distance.

Before Mu Changtian could speak, a gunshot rang out.

Gang...

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Hongbo, still in a daze, was shot through the chest.

Feeling the huge wound on his chest, Xiao Hongbo lowered his head slightly to look at it. His pupils contracted, and he showed an expression of disbelief.

Xiao Hongbo then slowly collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

Seeing this, Mu Changtian was slightly stunned.

He remembered what Li Feng had told him not long ago: the Northern King possessed a mysterious weapon that could kill a Grandmaster in an instant.

The long black staff in front of us is probably the mysterious weapon that Li Feng was talking about.

The weapons of the Northern King are truly terrifying!

Killing a Grandmaster-level expert from a distance of one kilometer is something even a Grandmaster would find difficult to do.

Of course, no matter how terrifying the weapons in the Northern King's hands are, they are not as terrifying as howitzers.

They just witnessed a single cannonball blast a barbarian grandmaster into dozens of pieces. In terms of power, howitzers are far more formidable.

After Lu Chen shot and killed Xiao Hongbo, he regained his senses and said to Mu Changtian beside him, "General Mu, the task of annihilating the barbarian cavalry is now entrusted to you!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Changtian immediately replied loudly, "Yes, Your Highness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Changtian pushed off with both legs and jumped down from the city wall to his horse below.

Mu Changtian waved his hand, tossing his robe aside, and shouted.

"Open the city gates!!!"

As Mu Changtian's powerful voice rang out, the city gates of Yancheng slowly opened.

The next moment, Mu Changtian took the lead and rushed out of the city gate!

"Soldiers, follow me and fight!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"

The morale of the Yancheng soldiers was instantly boosted, and the Yancheng garrison left the city walls to pursue and kill the barbarian cavalry.

at the same time.

After countless soldiers of Xiao Pengtian's 50,000-strong army were killed in the bombing, they finally escaped the artillery's range unharmed.

Seeing that no more exploding rocks were falling from the sky, the soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But they soon discovered that something was wrong again.

Suddenly, the Wanning River Valley became unusually quiet.

It was even quieter than before.

It was so quiet that they could almost hear their own heartbeats, as if even the retreat horns had vanished.

Xiao Pengtian frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

At this moment, a soldier beside Xiao Pengtian suddenly exclaimed, "General, look!!"

Xiao Pengtian then looked into the distance.

The enormous setting sun was directly in their direction, seemingly blocking out the entire Wanning River Valley.

As the sun set, enormous, black figures gradually approached Xiao Pengtian and his companions.

The earth immediately trembled.

When the cavalry approached, Xiao Pengtian and his companions could finally see what they looked like. The soldiers of that army were dressed in black armor, and even their warhorses were covered in thick armor.

Bathed in the light of the setting sun, they looked like an army emerging from hell.

Xiao Pengtian's expression changed drastically in an instant.

Heavy armor... cavalry!!!

And there are at least tens of thousands of them!

How is this possible?!

Even barbarians don't have this many heavy cavalry!

It would take an unknown amount of time to craft just one set of armor for heavy cavalry.

And the Great Xia actually possesses such a massive heavy cavalry force!!!

On the grasslands, these heavily armored cavalrymen of the Great Xia might not be able to deal with them. After all, their barbarian light cavalry are more mobile and faster, while these heavily armored cavalrymen are relatively clumsy and might not be able to catch up with them.

But things are different now.

We are now in the Wanning River Valley!

Tens of thousands of heavily armored cavalrymen stood in the Wanning River Valley, forming an impregnable wall of bronze and iron.

Where did they run to?

If they run towards Yancheng now, they will be blown to pieces; if they charge straight at them, they will be hacked to death by these heavily armored cavalry.

Xiao Pengtian gripped the axe tightly, his muscles bulged, and his armor was stretched taut.

In the end, he made his decision.

Xiao Pengtian raised his axe towards the sun, and with all his might shouted, "Barbarian warriors! Charge with me!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Pengtian rode his horse straight towards the Black Cavalry, and the barbarian soldiers behind him surged towards the iron walls under the setting sun like a tide.
