Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

Three days passed quickly.

In order to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the weapon as quickly as possible.

Yu Shunshen, Zhao Bencai, and Teng Wanzhi all humbly asked He Zhili and Wen Jinglan for advice.

It was not until they truly mastered this epoch-making weapon that they realized that the advent of rifles and artillery was a completely epoch-making weapon.

The composite military crossbow that had been used before was nothing in front of rifles and artillery. It was like a toy for adults and there was no comparison at all.

Three days later, Yun Yi, the imperial preceptor of Beishang, also received news of the attack from Hongxuan of Dafeng.

After hearing this, Beishang National Master Yun Yi laughed:

"Haha! This country's teacher wants to destroy the Dafeng Kingdom in the next few days."

"Now all of our Beishang cavalry are equipped with composite crossbows. Now is the time when our Beishang cavalry is at its strongest. Our national division must let these Dafeng infantry know how powerful we are."

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei led 90,000 soldiers of the Dafeng Kingdom armed with rifles and 15,000 artillerymen, with a total of 5,000 artillery pieces. Every three infantrymen controlled a cannon, one artilleryman drove the carriage, and two artillerymen operated the artillery.

Whether it was artillery or rifles, everyone became familiar with the operation process within three days.

In fact, operating artillery or rifles is very simple and not difficult.

What's more, it can be put into practice on the battlefield.

The so-called battlefield is the best teacher and the best place for practice.

The war between the two countries officially began.

The armies of Beishang and Dafeng were approaching each other.

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei was wearing a yellow robe and riding on a tall horse, looking very majestic.

When he approached Baidi City,

The army of the Northern Shang State Master was also ready. They had assembled 300,000 troops.

In this 300,000-man army formation, the front row all have uniform chariot shields, and these chariot shields are thicker and larger than the previous ones.

This was specially designed to deal with the infantry of the Dafeng Kingdom.

Yun Yi used it for an experiment and found that it was impossible to penetrate the chariot and horse shield with the composite military crossbow.

A war seems imminent.

Yun Yi rode his warhorse forward, and Zhenbei King Hongxuan also rode his warhorse forward.

The two met in the center of the battlefield.

"King Zhenbei! The troops you brought seem to be much smaller than the cavalry of my Beishang Kingdom."

Hongxuan raised the corner of his mouth and said:

“It’s not the quantity of soldiers that matters, but their quality!”

"It's a pity that your three hundred thousand cavalrymen will be buried here today! My promise to you is still valid. You'd better run away when the battle starts later."

Beishang State Master Yun Yi showed a look of shock.

"King Zhenbei, you asked me to run away, are you trying to scare me?"

"My 300,000 cavalrymen are all equipped with the same composite crossbows as yours, and I am a cavalryman, how can you win? And you still want me to run. My master advises you to run away now!"

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan said with a smile.

“Compound Military Crossbow! Haha, how ridiculous! Who said that the weapon I use is a compound military crossbow? I have already eliminated the compound military crossbow.”

"I have already reminded you to stay back when the battle begins! Otherwise, even if you release tens of thousands of my soldiers, you will not be able to be the chief shepherd if you don't stay out of the way."

Beishang State Master Yun Yi had an extremely ugly expression on his face at this moment, because he could feel that King Zhenbei was not joking with him.

In his own opinion, the composite military crossbow was extremely advanced and had tremendous lethality, but in the eyes of King Zhenbei, it was already an obsolete item.

"You...you!" Yun Yi suddenly became frightened.

His sense of crisis spread.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan reined in his horse and said:

"Haha, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. Take care of yourself, Yun Yi!"

The thought of retreating flashed wildly through Yun Yi's mind, but he knew that he absolutely could not retreat.

Because King Zhenbei Hongxuan was not going to fight him in a decisive battle. What King Zhenbei wanted to do was to use his military force to directly destroy the entire Beishang Kingdom, so he could not retreat to anywhere.

There is no way to retreat.

Yun Yi pulled the reins of his horse and retreated, going to the rear to give commands.

When Yun Yi arrived at the rear of the army, he immediately gave the order:

"Divide the troops into three groups and advance slowly. This country's teacher does not believe that the King of Zhenbei can resist our Beishang country's cavalry!"

The three commanders of the Northern Shang Kingdom, General Peng, General Ji and General Wang, each led 100,000 heavy cavalry and slowly pushed their chariots, horses and shields forward to attack.

The soldiers of Beishang State drove the chariots and shields and rushed towards the infantry of Dafeng State. The improved chariots and shields were much faster than before during the impact. The axles were specially polished and coated with lamp oil, which made the speed of the chariots and shields faster than before.

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei ordered Zhao Bencai to arrange the artillery in a row.

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei looked at the approaching chariots, horses, shields and the 300,000 cavalrymen of the Northern Shang Kingdom with a slight smile on his face.

"Haha, you're just in time! I will bury you here today!"

The beginning of a war is the decisive battle.

When the Beishang army was only 200 meters away from the Dafeng army.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan ordered:

"Zhao Bencai, prepare to fire!"

Zhao Bencai immediately ordered his soldiers.

"fire!"

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

Five thousand artillery pieces fired at the oncoming chariots, horses, shields and cavalry of the Northern Shang army.

The roar of the artillery was like thunder, shaking the entire battlefield into an earth-shaking scene. The chariots, horses and shields of the Northern Shang Kingdom that were charging were blown to pieces, causing a large number of casualties.

The cavalrymen of Beishang Kingdom were completely stunned.

The charging Beishang cavalry subconsciously slowed down.

They all dodged and the war horses neighed in fear.

Not only were the cavalrymen of Beishang confused, but even the soldiers of Dafeng were confused.

The damage from that last round of artillery fire was astonishing.

In one round of volleys, the Northern Shang cavalry suffered more than 90,000 casualties.

The Beishang Kingdom only sent a total of 300,000 troops, and Yun Yi also only had 300,000 troops.

Nearly one-third of the troops were lost in just one round of artillery attack. What a horrific number of casualties.

Everyone on the battlefield was stunned.

Yun Yi was completely stunned by the deafening noise.

"Ah! Retreat! Retreat!"

"Get out!"

Under a round of volleys, the Beishang Kingdom's cavalry could no longer maintain their battle formation. Not only the horses, but the cavalry as well began to tremble in fear.

"escape!"

But this time, King Zhenbei had no intention of letting go of these cavalrymen who were almost scared to death.

"He Zhili! Order your soldiers to shoot with their rifles!"

He Zhili received an order from Zhenbei King Hongxuan.

He Zhili ordered the soldier holding the rifle:

"All soldiers! Prepare to fire!"

The infantrymen held their rifles and shot at the Beishang cavalry in front of them.

“Da!” “Da!”

"Da da da!"

All the infantry were under the unified command of He Zhili, and the soldiers in the front all lay on the ground after finishing a round of shooting.

The soldiers behind continued shooting.

There were a total of 90,000 infantrymen, and each infantryman had 50 rounds of bullets.

"Da da da!"

The Beishang Kingdom's cavalry were completely wiped out in just a few breaths.

Only less than a thousand people escaped.

When Beishang State Master saw the hellish scene, his lips trembled, "No! No! This can't be true! It's impossible!"

He ran back like a madman.
