The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Doing so is a waste of time, and it might also let the enemy discover it. It is better to give the enemy the illusion that you don't know how to use troops. By the time they find out, it will be too late to regret!

This is equivalent to a blatant encirclement, and the other party has no way of realizing it. By the time they realize it, it is already too late!

Eighty thousand people quickly surrounded the 200,000-strong army in three directions. They quickly dispersed, making the encirclement tighter, leaving only a small gap at the back.

At that location, Chu Chengfeng's 60,000 troops were left behind, and behind them, there were also 60,000 troops rushing towards Youdu Prefecture, ready to close the door and beat the dog.

Just as both sides were full of contempt for each other, the distance between them was getting closer and closer, and the difference was only a few miles. At this time, Ning Pojun could already see the appearance of Li Shunchen on the sentry tower.

Seeing Li Shunchen's mocking expression, Ning Pojun felt a sense of amusement and teasing in his heart. He wanted to see if Li Shunchen would still act as pretentious as he did now after the battle started.

Sure enough, when the 20,000 cavalry were only a few miles away from the Yan army, countless mountain artillery shells suddenly whistled out from the Yan army's formation. In the blink of an eye, the shells exploded in front of the position.

Bang...bang...countless cavalrymen were killed on the spot. They hadn't even rushed to the front of the battle, but the Yan army had blown them up and made them lose their way. Many of the cavalrymen's horses were so scared that they turned around and tried to run away.

The cavalry failed to control their horses, which immediately caused a small-scale chaos, and this chaos alone caused many casualties.

A look of shock suddenly welled up on Li Shunchen's sarcastic and complacent face on the sentry tower. He looked at everything that was happening in disbelief and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

He thought that his cavalry would be able to wipe out the Yan infantry in front with great force, but he never expected such an outcome.

However, although the artillery fire was very powerful and caused some chaos among the 20,000 cavalrymen, the cavalry formation was still able to remain intact as they rushed towards the Yan army.

The same situation also occurred on the left and right sides. Li Shunchen was panicked, but as the cavalry continued to charge forward and the infantry behind followed, the panic on his face gradually subsided.

He was expecting the cavalry to charge into the enemy army. This would cause the enemy to fall into chaos, and when his infantry arrived, it would be a one-sided massacre.

His idea was perfect. If other armies encountered such tactics as his, they might really be defeated. However, he did not understand the strength of the Yan army under Jiang Fan.

Just when their cavalry rushed to three or four hundred meters, the Yan army also stopped marching and formed a battle formation in front. A series of very strange huge iron tube-shaped weapons were pulled out.

Before they could figure out what it was, they heard a series of rumbling sounds coming from the iron pipes.

Then, the charging cavalrymen began to fall down in large numbers. Not to mention charging into the opposing army, it became a problem whether they could even break through the blockade.

Ning Pojun looked at the power of Maxim and swallowed unconsciously, with a strong fear in his eyes. He murmured: "My brother-in-law said that the great compassion Gatling, the Maxim who saves all living beings, turns out to be like this!"

"Oh, and there's also the Gatling gun, and the Maxim gun, but I don't know how they can save lives and bring people back to health!"

At the end of his speech, he had an indescribable weird smile on his face. However, after the fear, his eyes were filled with excitement.

Especially when he saw the terrifying power of Maxim, his blood boiled in his heart. Ning Potian was a veteran on the battlefield and was used to seeing life and death. For him, killing the enemy had no mercy at all.

Seeing the enemies fall one by one in front of him, he was only happy. He wanted to run over and test the power of Maxim, but in the end he held back. It is better to be calm on the battlefield.

With the appearance of Maxim, the enemy's cavalry was like an ant in front of Maxim. Ning Pojun was looking forward to the power of Gatling.

At the same time, Ning Pojun picked up the telescope and looked at the person on the sentry tower in front. If he guessed correctly, the middle-aged general standing on the only sentry tower should be the god of war respected by the Silla people.

At this time, the God of War's face was pale. He looked at the cavalry who were being slaughtered one-sidedly in horror, and collapsed on the watchtower.

The cavalry on the left and right sides were also being slaughtered by those strange weapons. They couldn't even touch the Yan army and could only rush forward one after another to die.

When the front was full of corpses, they came to their senses and looked at the enemies in front of them with horror, with only shock and disbelief in their eyes.

Of the 20,000 cavalrymen on the front battlefield, less than 5,000 were killed, and the bodies of the cavalrymen covered a distance of nearly 100 meters. The cavalrymen who followed no longer had the courage to charge, and there was deep fear in their eyes.

Most of the infantry in the rear did not know what was happening and tried desperately to charge forward, but when they saw that the cavalry were afraid to fight and did not move forward, many Silla soldiers cursed.

They wanted to rush past the cavalry and get to the front to fight with the infantry. But before these people rushed over, the Yan army on the opposite side began to move and they began to advance.

Those cavalrymen who reacted saw that the Yan army had left the terrifying tubular weapons behind, and they thought they had found an opportunity, and the remaining thousands of cavalrymen launched another charge.

But before these cavalrymen had rushed out far, they saw the things in the hands of the Yan army soldiers, which looked like fire sticks, emitting bursts of flames, and the thousands of cavalrymen who rushed over fell one by one under the assault rifles.

The army had already advanced, and the remaining cavalry turned around and tried to flee, but then they found that they were blocked by the infantry behind them. They could only rush into the infantry formation.

As they charged, many of the Silla army's infantry were killed by their own people. The Yan army also rushed over, and with a burst of gunfire, the Silla army was stunned.

When they reacted, they realized the horror of the Yan army. They were so scared that they turned around and fled. It was really weird.

They were shot and killed before they even encountered the Yan army. How could they not be scared? Such an enemy could be described as invincible.

Soon, tens of thousands of people here were defeated, and once the defeat occurred, there was no way to stop it.

Not only did the front battlefield collapse, but the battlefields on the left and right sides also collapsed. Li Shunchen turned pale when he saw this scene.

Only now did he understand why the Yan army would confront them head-on. They were not stupid at all, but they had terrifying weapons in their hands, so why would they be so cowardly!
