The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 574: Nearly People Collide

He ignored Li Shunchen's ridicule and let the army continue to move forward. Li Shunchen was disappointed and a little angry. He looked at Jiang Fan with hatred and slowly calmed down.

At this moment, the Yan army and the Silla army on the left and right sides had already rushed together. Looking at the huge crowd, Li Shunchen showed a look of ecstasy on his face.

At the same time, he also saw that at least one-third of the troops on the left and right sides were dispatched to rush towards the center. He was fantasizing about waiting for his own army to charge. Who knows, maybe he could take this opportunity to regain his freedom and escape!

But just when he was feeling proud, he saw countless artillery fire covering the charging Silla army from behind the charging Yan army. Under the bombardment of the artillery fire, the charging Silla soldiers were immediately blown to pieces, and were stunned for a moment.

The charge, which had been so powerful, suddenly lost its momentum. Everyone looked at the place where the artillery fire landed in astonishment, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

It was the first time they had seen this kind of weapon. Looking at their companions being blown to pieces, they unconsciously slowed down their pace and some of them had already begun to retreat.

The fight had just begun, and they were already beaten like this. What would be the result next? No one dared to think about it.

At this moment, someone in the Silla army shouted and rushed towards the Yan army.

"Soldiers, charge ahead, and you won't have to worry about the power of this strange weapon!"

With this man's shout, the Silla soldiers suddenly came to their senses. They suppressed the fear in their hearts and instinctively rushed forward and rushed into the Yan army's position. They didn't believe that the Yan army would use this strange explosive weapon to harm their own people.

In an instant, the enemy's morale, which had been low, recovered a little. Not only that, they charged a little faster, completely frightened by the artillery fire.

As they got closer and closer to the Yan army, a look of ecstasy appeared on their faces. As long as they rushed into the Yan army's position, they would win. With a number several times that of the Yan army, they would surely engulf the Yan army.

But just when they were about to rush to the Yan army's position, the Yan army suddenly stopped and quickly made countless gaps. Behind the gaps, the Maxim guns that had just been set up suddenly burst into flames.

The charging Silla troops fell in large numbers. No matter how many of them rushed forward, they were killed.

Chu Chengfeng looked at the power of Maxim, his eyebrows jumped, his mouth opened wide, his face full of disbelief. Even some people who had never seen the true power of Maxim were also shocked.

But then their faces were filled with pity. Looking at the Silla soldiers falling in large numbers, the corners of their mouths twitched and their eyes were extremely complicated.

However, although the Maxim was extremely powerful, there were still blank areas in its firepower network. Many Silla troops rushed through the blank areas of the firepower network and rushed to the front of the Yan army.

After all, the momentum was not lost at the beginning, and the Silla army had absolute numerical suppression. With this belief, they actually rushed into the Yan army's position.

Although only a part of the people rushed over, the Silla army behind them were immediately ecstatic when they saw this scene. Once they broke through the Yan army's position, they would have a chance of winning.

But just when the Silla soldiers behind them wanted to see their people killing everyone in the Yan army's position, they saw the Yan army soldiers holding something like a fire stick and using the bayonet on it to kill the people who rushed over in a few strokes.

This situation shocked the people behind the Silla army. Seeing the Yan army's decisive attack, the fear in their hearts finally began to rise little by little.

In addition, people kept falling down. Even if they broke through Maxim's firepower network, they could not shake the Yan army at all, and the momentum of the charge was immediately lost.

No one knew who started it, but the first person started running away, and then countless others started running away, screaming in fear.

As the front line was completely defeated and fled back, it also led to the confused Silla army behind, who had no idea what was happening in front.

All they could hear were screams and flying blood and flesh, and a strong sense of fear surged in their hearts along with the defeated people. Then, the entire Silla army's charging formation collapsed.

Seeing this, the Yan army immediately sounded the charge. The moment the horn sounded, countless Yan soldiers rushed towards the defeated Silla army. While chasing them all the way, those Silla soldiers were shot and killed by rifles from time to time.

Some of the Silla soldiers who were caught up wanted to resist, but were killed on the spot by a few assassinations. The defense lines on both sides were completely defeated.

Li Shunchen stood there in a daze as he watched the defeat on both sides. He couldn't believe that the Silla army, which was several times larger than the Yan army, would be defeated, and defeated so quickly.

He thought he could rely on his strong personnel advantage to defeat the Yan army, but in the end, this was the result, which he could not accept.

He looked at the Silla troops who came to reinforce, and a look of joy appeared on his face. Although the left and right sides were defeated, the Silla troops who came back to support were at least 100,000. Add to that the at least 200,000 Silla troops in front of them. The army of 300,000 people was definitely more than enough to deal with the Yan army of only 50,000 people.

But just when he thought that the reinforcements on the left and right sides would surround and kill the Yan army, he saw that the Silla army rushing from the left and right was stopped by the Yan army which had already formed a battle formation.

The firepower network formed by Maxim made it impossible for the Silla army to advance. After only less than two quarters of an hour of charging, the Silla army left behind nearly ten thousand corpses and turned around to escape.

However, just as they turned around to flee, they were attacked by the Yan army that had been lying in ambush on both sides. The 100,000 men could neither advance nor retreat and could only flee to the left and right.

But even so, more than 50,000 of the 100,000 Silla troops who came to support were wiped out, and the remaining half had already fled to an unknown place.

The army was in complete disarray. Not only the armies on the left and right sides and the 100,000 people who came to support them, but they were powerless to turn the tide under the frontal attack of the Yan army. Of the 500,000 soldiers, at least hundreds of thousands were killed on the spot, and tens of thousands were taken prisoner. The rest ran away so fast that they could no longer be seen.

Jiang Fan's central army had already rushed to a place less than ten miles outside of Rong'er City, and could see Rong'er City ahead from afar.

The 200,000 troops outside the city of Rong'er looked at the 50,000 Yan troops rushing towards them with a look of bewilderment. They had not yet figured out what was happening in front of them, but when they saw the Yan army rushing towards them aggressively but could not see their own army, they knew that something bad was going to happen.

On the city wall, the King of Silla looked at the Yan army charging towards him, his eyes full of fear and astonishment. He was so frightened that he was trembling.
