Chapter 496 The Great Battle of the Grasslands (Part 3)

Although the old-fashioned cannons in the hands of the Black Horde were not the originals made by the Eastern Kingdom of Daqian, they were made by imitating a batch purchased from Persia, and the old-fashioned cannons they made were quite powerful!

The Black Horde has always had a large number of artisans, and therefore its weapons and equipment are also very famous.

However, even the best replicas of the old cannons were completely helpless against the bombardment of the Yanning artillery of the Da Gan Army.

Even the artillery regiments of the Da Gan Army only had a few dozen cannons, which was far more numerous than the cannons of the Black Horde Khanate's allied forces.

However, in terms of power, it far surpasses them!

In less than 15 minutes, the artillery regiment of the Dagang Army Division had fired nearly 20 rounds of shells.

Twenty consecutive rounds, or hundreds of shells, landed on the Black Horde's artillery positions, almost completely wiping out the entire Black Horde artillery position.

Nearly a hundred old-fashioned cannons were almost completely destroyed.

The ground was littered with countless corpses, and crimson blood stained everything. Even the green grass in the wilderness had been overturned, a horrifying sight!

The old-fashioned cannons, which were originally enormous, have been completely destroyed.

"Report—"

A cavalryman rushed to Khan Urumiye's side, his face contorted with grief, and said, "Khan, it's terrible! All our cannons have been destroyed..."

"What?"

Upon hearing this news, Khan Urumiye stared wide-eyed at the cavalryman beside him in astonishment, and roared, "What did you say? Say it again!"

"Great Khan,"

The cavalryman trembled with fear and whispered, "Our cannons... they've all been destroyed..."

This time, Khan Urumiye heard it clearly.

The cannon has been destroyed!

Wow, that was fast!

It happened so fast that Urmie was somewhat surprised and couldn't believe it was all real.

It should be noted that the Great Khan Urumiye had originally pinned his hopes on these hundred-plus cannons, hoping that they could directly breach the Great Khan's defensive lines.

However, he never expected that such a thing would happen in such a short time.

Without cannons, how can we fight?

Khan Urumiye frowned and squinted at the situation on the distant battlefield.

Fortunately, the vanguard had already approached the city of Semii. In particular, the vanguard was carrying a large number of siege engines.

Seeing this, Khan Urumiye felt a little better.

After all, as long as the vanguard can take Semii City, there is still hope in this battle!

Thinking it over, Great Khan Urumiye instructed, "Tell the flanks to keep a close eye on the movements of the Da Gan Army cavalry!"

"Furthermore, the vanguard will continue their charge and strive to recapture Semii!"

"yes!"

After the Great Khan Urumiye's order was relayed, the massive army of the Black Tent Khanate, dark as a shadow in the wilderness, once again launched a fierce charge.

Previously, the fierce bombardment by the artillery regiment of the Da Gan Army only destroyed all the old-fashioned cannons brought by the Black Horde Khanate coalition.

The Black Horde allied soldiers charging across the open field suffered no damage.

Now, as the vanguard of the Black Horde's allied forces approached the city of Semii, it also aroused the vigilance of Division Commander Li Maoxue.

"Commander, commander..."

An aide approached Li Maoxue and said, "The enemy is closing in on Semii City!"

“I saw it.”

Division Commander Li Maoxue nodded slightly, his expression somewhat solemn.

He took out his binoculars and searched the enemy artillery positions in the distance before asking, "Are there any remaining artillery pieces over there?"

"It seems there aren't any left."

The staff officer next to him shook his head and said, "The smoke is too thick, so we can't see very clearly for now. However, the previous bombing has almost completely covered the enemy's artillery positions, so there shouldn't be any artillery left."

"Uh-huh."

Division Commander Li Maoxue nodded and said, "Tell the artillery regiment to keep five cannons firing and continue aiming at the enemy's artillery positions. If anything unusual is detected, return fire immediately! Make sure the enemy's artillery positions are completely destroyed!"

"yes!"

The staff officer quickly responded.

"in addition,"

Division Commander Li Maoxue continued, "The rest of the artillery, turn around and begin bombarding the enemy troops! Covert bombardment!"

"clear!"

The staff officer responded.

The combat orders were immediately relayed.

The division's artillery regiment also began adjusting the direction of its cannons, aiming at the enemy troops charging in the open field.

"Cover-up bombardment!"

The artillery regimental commander roared.

Immediately, dozens of cannons began roaring once again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Shells rained down on the enemy ranks, creating deafening explosions. Shrapnel from the explosions spun rapidly, scattering in a perfect 360-degree arc.

Like countless sharp knives, they relentlessly reaped the lives of the Black Tent Khanate's allied soldiers.

With each explosion, a huge blank was left on the ground, and the surrounding enemy soldiers died instantly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Like meteorites falling from the sky, explosions echoed throughout the enemy army, creating a deafening roar. The entire earth trembled slightly.

The ground was littered with countless corpses, a truly horrifying sight.

"Kill them!"

The soldiers of the Black Horde Khanate allied forces roared once again.

They knew that no matter how fierce the artillery fire was, as long as they rushed into Semii and captured the city, they would be able to win the war!

And they were only a hundred or two steps away from Semii City!

"Kill them!"

A general from the Black Horde squinted at the distant city of Semii and roared, "Advance!"

At the general's roar, soldiers of the Black Horde allied forces pushed the huge siege engines and rushed towards the city of Semii.

As they drew ever closer to Semii City, the infantry on the city walls pulled the trigger.

Da da da!

Da da da!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Yanning machine guns and Yanning rifles, aimed at the soldiers of the Black Horde Khanate coalition, began to roar.

A dense hail of bullets, like scythes of death, slashed through the Black Tent Khanate's allied forces. Rows of bullets rained down, and rows of allied soldiers fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

Even though the Black Horde soldiers were wearing standard armor, the machine gun bullets from Yan Ning almost easily pierced their bodies.

The scorching bullets inflicted terrifying tearing and piercing wounds on the Black Horde allied soldiers!

In a short period of time, hundreds of corpses had been left on the ground.

It was densely packed and a terrible sight!
