On the battlefield, the war horses ridden by heavy cavalry are a type that is easily frightened. Even if things like firecrackers appear, these things basically will not appear on the battlefield!
Now the sound and power of the explosion have caused serious injuries to the horses.
When the horse is frightened, it will naturally affect the cavalry on it. At the same time, the horse will run around everywhere. In addition, after the bamboo tube explodes, the sharp weapon inside explodes, causing the horse's body to suffer serious injuries.
Although the cavalrymen were wearing heavy armor and didn't suffer much damage, some smaller particles still landed in their eyes...
There was no way. They had never had such a response plan before. They really miscalculated this time!
Seeing the cavalry being damaged, the city walls were also under constant attack.
The bombs on the city wall seemed endless, and the high priest had never expected such a situation.
He also couldn't understand why the enemy had so many other weapons.
"General, the cavalry is panicking, and the heavy cavalry is disorganized. Most of our cavalry have been captured. Now the battle below the city has become a mess, and only a few cavalry are still struggling to hold on. Why don't we let them in?"
Luo Feng knew very well that the cavalry were their elite troops and must not be lost. However, there was a disadvantage in doing so, which was that their border city would be lost directly!
Before the war even started, this situation happened. This sudden attack caught him off guard.
There is really no way!
If I had known this would happen, I should have listened to King Nannan.
At this time, the King of Nan'an also tried his best to persuade, "General, I have said that what we need to do now is to accumulate our own strength and not rashly attack the enemy.
The state of the two armies is vastly different from theirs, and there are also differences in weaponry, as you have seen.”
"You don't have to tell me this, of course I know. I just wanted to give it a try to see if things could get out of hand. Anyway, the enemy actually has this kind of weapon. If they don't have it, we might still be able to resist them a bit!"
However, Luo Feng was still unconvinced. "What's going on down there? Those assassins I sent out will become Grandmasters after taking the pills. Haven't they killed that dog eunuch yet?"
"Is this eunuch so lucky? He can't even be killed? A Grandmaster is no ordinary martial arts master!"
Luo Feng had received the news early on that the woman next to him, the one with the surname Ye, was a master and had already become a fifth-rank master because of the people under his command.
And it is very difficult to recover. At least, he will definitely not appear on the battlefield at this point in time. So how did he escape?
"Could it be that there are other great masters in the Great Zhou?"
“I don’t know.”
"However, I heard that there is a great master in their palace who has been protecting the emperor of their Great Zhou."
"I heard that this Grandmaster is also very powerful, but he has been staying in the Imperial City and rarely comes out. As long as the Emperor doesn't give an order, he won't appear. Could it be him?"
"Maybe!" Luo Feng sighed. "What bad luck! Now I am defeated by others every time I try to do something!"
"retreat!"
"Open the city gates and let those cavalrymen return. They absolutely cannot afford any more losses. Let's flee here quickly and leave this empty city to them!"
"Don't leave them any food or fodder. Take what you can take away. If you can't, burn it directly. Even if it's a waste, don't leave it to the enemy and strengthen them!"
"Yes, General!"
Luo Feng finally figured it out, but he thought there would be another battle in the future, and he now understood the situation, if it was really the grandmaster in the palace.
Then all his assassins have become grandmasters. They are very powerful and will definitely have a certain impact on that master.
Maybe his strength will also decline.
Then the next time we attack this dog eunuch named Lu, it will be easy!
"retreat!"
On the city wall, their soldiers began to retreat slowly until they walked down the wall, then quickly mounted their horses and left the city.
And they quickly opened the city gates to let in their cavalry.
Seeing this scene, Shangguan Yan became very anxious and wondered whether she should rush directly into the city wall since their city gate was already open anyway.
However, he absolutely should not go in without orders. After all, he must obey the command of Eunuch Lu on the battlefield!
"General!"
"Eunuch Lu said that although the city gates have been opened, there is no need to chase them. They have already entered. Put down your weapons and wait quietly."
Shangguan Yan was a little confused, but she just saw that after these cavalrymen entered, they immediately closed the gate.
Lu Yun looked at the situation on the city wall in the distance, and could vaguely see that there were fewer and fewer people on the wall. They were constantly retreating, and even their flags were a little unstable!
Lu Yun laughed and explained to Liang Jing, "It seems that they want to retreat now. They don't want to continue to waste time with us because they know that if they continue to waste time...
When the Shu army attacks and outflanks them, they will die here completely, isolated and helpless."
"Their main idea right now should be to lead the army directly, find a breakthrough point, and find a place to connect with the Miao army."
Liang Jing was thoughtful. It seemed that Xiao Yunzi had calculated everything.
After all, he had already written a letter asking General Zhou Chen of Shu to try his best to open a breakthrough for them.
"There's one thing I can't quite figure out. What exactly is this gunpowder you made from bamboo tubes? How come it's so strong?"
Lu Yun smiled and explained, "Your Majesty, I told you it's just something for setting off fireworks, don't take it too seriously."
"Do you think I want to know?"
"snort!"
Liang Jing glanced at him with a somewhat arrogant look, "Xiao Yunzi, I haven't punished you yet. I agreed to let me have a good time on the battlefield and fight them, and what happened?"
"I don't stand a chance!"
Lu Yun explained helplessly, "Your Majesty, you have seen that just now it was all about the clashes between cavalry and long-range attacks.
Wherever there is a chance of direct conflict, you naturally cannot participate!
Next time, maybe next time you’ll have the chance to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy yourself!"
Liang Jing had no choice but to do so, but he still felt a little unconvinced.
