Five hundred men were reduced to only one or two hundred. Seeing victory in sight, Yelu Qi, who was watching from below, was extremely excited and thrilled. "My men, charge! Charge into Muhe!"
"Kill into Muhe."
The deafening sound destroyed not only the ears of our soldiers, but also their spirits.
Tie Niu panted heavily, wielding his sword to chop off the heads of the Jiannu soldiers one after another. Even though he was pelted by arrows, he felt no pain. He waved his arms stiffly and roared, "Kill the Jiannu dogs! I will defend the land of Yan until my death!"
As the people around him fell one after another, even the tough guy shed tears. Tie Niu didn't have time to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes when a tall and thin man chopped his arm. He groaned, endured the pain and knocked the tall and thin man to the ground.
"Tie Niu, I'm here to help you!" Liu Shoubei's voice resounded through the sky, and Tie Niu could hear it without turning around.
As the two generals at the city gate joined the battle, the Jiannu soldiers were chopped to the ground like vegetables.
However, the number of enemies was too large, and they were powerless and could only rely on instinct to stop those who tried to break through the city wall defenses.
Xu Jing watched anxiously from below. Without reinforcements, relying on just two generals, Liu Shoubei and Yang Zhiming, was no match for the Jiannu's human wave tactics. Even the era of hot weapons could be overturned, let alone the era of cold weapons.
As the saying goes, two fists cannot defeat four palms. The enemy naturally has the advantage in numbers. Even if Liu Yuhe and Yang Zhiming were both brave and skilled in fighting, even if one could kill ten, it would still not be enough to kill them all.
Seeing that the enemy had torn a hole in his side, Xu Jing knew that if he didn't go up, he might be finished before Luo Ying and others came to rescue him.
At the critical moment, Xu Jing didn't care about the interface protection and directly spent money to exchange for a grenade.
"Get out of the way, everyone!" Liu Yuhe turned around in surprise and saw an incredible scene.
Jiang Xuqing, who he had originally considered a wimp, had actually climbed onto the city wall carrying an unknown object. Before he could say anything, Yang Zhiming yelled, "Jiang Xuqing, are you looking for death? Go call for help and don't mess with me!"
No one present gave Jiang Xuqing a favorable look. With the exception of Liu Yuhe, they all thought Jiang Xuqing, the corrupt official, was putting on a show. He had no talent at all, only blabbering nonsense. If it weren't for the court's consideration, they would have skinned Jiang Xuqing alive long ago.
Xu Jing didn't have time to explain to them, so he started the engine and threw the grenade to the bottom.
"Bang!" As a huge explosion sounded, four or five Jiannu soldiers below were killed on the spot, and countless Jiannu soldiers were affected.
The grenades produced by the system store are extremely powerful. Although they are not as powerful as cannons, they are the best things available at this stage.
In addition to grenades, Xu Jing also exchanged for a fire gun. In fact, the Ming Dynasty's application of fire guns was too powerful. After the invention of gunpowder, fire guns were used in warfare.
However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court had difficulty allocating funds for military supplies, let alone increasing military spending for the research and development of firearms.
The same was true for the State of Yan. These expensive muskets became toys for the nobility, while few soldiers were left fighting on the front lines.
In addition to exchanging for muskets, Xu Jing also exchanged for a large amount of bullets.
After the bullet was loaded into the musket, it hit the target and killed the Jiannu soldier closest to the Iron Ox.
Tie Niu's eyes widened, unable to utter a single curse word as he watched the dog official kill a soldier wielding a broadsword beside him from a distance of more than ten meters. How did he do that? Did he become an immortal?
"What's going on?" Not only were the Jiannu soldiers on the city wall confused, but even Yelu Qi who was guarding the formation below was confused.
Something that fell from the sky blew up several of his brothers. Yelu Qi's eyes were wide open and he didn't know how they died.
The enemy army has such a powerful weapon? If they all survived, what a fight they would have. He could have gone straight back to his hometown in Shengjing.
"General, are you still going to fight?"
What the hell are you doing? If you keep fighting, you’ll lose everything.
Yelu Qi punched his subordinate, knocking him down, but not satisfied, he kicked him a few times. The subordinate was so abused that he cried out loudly. The accompanying adjutant said, "General, wouldn't it be better to just shoot him?"
Yelu Qi glared and said, "You know it, but you don't do it?"
"Yes. Archer, shoot that birdman down for me."
There was also a good sharpshooter in Yelu Qi's military camp. He aimed at Xu Jing's position, pulled out a feather arrow, drew his bow and shot the arrow in one smooth movement. Just when he was about to enjoy the boast of victory, the enemy miraculously escaped.
The sharpshooter was so anxious that sweat was dripping down his forehead. What was going on? Did the opponent have the ability to predict the situation in advance? How could he dodge so quickly?
The sharpshooter's guess was correct; Xu Jing truly possessed an evasion function. With the 021, a competent external artifact, he could sense danger ahead of time and evade it quickly.
While dodging, Xu Jing's movements were neither hurried nor slow. In the space of an incense stick, he had already taken down over fifty soldiers. His killing speed was so rapid that it terrified not only the enemy but even the soldiers themselves.
"It's a musket." Yang Zhiming, a man who had spent several years in the capital, immediately recognized that the toy in Jiang Xuqing's hand was a toy used by the nobles. The musket was circulated among the nobility, but no one had imagined it could be used on the battlefield, so it had not attracted much attention.
Even with a musket, the keen insight and shooting ability are not something that ordinary people can possess.
Yang Zhiming was an expert archer, well aware that shooting depended on both vision and talent, and also required exceptional proficiency to achieve a single-shot kill. Clearly, despite Jiang Xuqing's avarice, his professional skills were top-notch, and he easily completed the initial cleanup.
Even he, a military general, respected him, let alone others.
With Jiang Xuqing joining the battlefield, the situation became very delicate and our morale increased greatly.
Yelu Qi, the general of Jiannu, ordered his men to shoot the secret weapon in the stands, but for some reason, the opponent seemed to know it in advance and was as agile as a fish swimming in the river, dodging all attacks easily.
Seeing that the number of people climbing up the city wall was decreasing, Yelu Qi became very anxious.
Any further delay would be extremely disadvantageous to the situation. First of all, the lighting of the beacon tower indicated that the border troops would lead a large number of soldiers to surround them.
Secondly, there is Luo Ying in the city who is eyeing the enemy covetously. If he rushes over to kill the enemy, the morale will be completely depressed.
We have to think of a safer way.
