The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

The barbarian Khan had no food supplies, and the groups of rebels were in chaos. In the end, he found himself trapped in an area of dozens of miles.

He still couldn't understand where this kid Wu Lingyun got so many elite soldiers.

If the Wu Kingdom really has so many elite troops, is there any need to negotiate with them?

Moreover, the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, relying on the crowd and military formations to continuously shrink the defense line.

The Wu army's defense line was reduced by several miles a day, which was enough to make the barbarians uncomfortable.

Finally, after these hundreds of thousands of soldiers were besieged, Ning Yi decided to fight a decisive battle.

The mighty army advanced step by step, with each formation forming a tight formation.

At the same time, cannons were pushed forward one after another, and even hundreds of small catapults were pushed out from the city.

After several days of preparation and blocking, the Barbarian Khan finally realized that it was useless to think about breaking out now.

The losses would be even greater, so it would be better to fight head-on.

He ordered on the spot that all the troops should attack only in the direction of Ning Yi.

Because Ning Yi's side in the south is the attacking party, and the private armies in other places are the defending party. It is too difficult to break through the defensive area, and the losses are too great.

The barbarian Khan was always reluctant to suffer such heavy losses of his cavalry.

For so many days, the other generals were also watching, and they all felt that they never expected that the barbarians would have such a day.

Yu Shengfei was also shocked. Didn’t the Sixth Prince have too many tricks?

When did so many soldiers appear?

Ning Yi specifically called him over and said, "Deputy Commander Yu, it's time for a decisive battle with the barbarians. I've prepared 100,000 elite cavalry. Is that enough to deal with the barbarian cavalry, which number less than 200,000 and is currently under siege?"

Deputy Marshal Yu swallowed hard and said, "Your Highness, this is not a problem, but..."

"No buts." Ning Yi waved his hand and said, "The barbarians can't escape. They are surrounded."

"This prince's infantry will also be able to hold back enough cavalry at all times. The rest is up to you."

"If you still don't dare to go to war after this situation," Ning Yi threatened, "don't blame me for being ruthless in military law."

Yu Shengfei immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, rest assured. In this battle, the Northwest Cavalry will surely advance bravely."

With his words, Ning Yi felt relieved.

After the arrangement is completed, just wait patiently for occupation.

The war began, and the barbarians took out all their military supplies and even killed a lot of reserve war horses.

Reorganize the rebels and force them to stop Ning Yi's infantry at all costs.

As for the Wu army in the north and other directions, the Barbarian Khan also dispersed some cavalry to keep an eye on them.

Even so, the number of cavalry that the barbarian Khan could mobilize was probably less than 150,000.

He was also prepared to fight to the death, and he still didn't believe it. Could cavalry really not beat infantry in the wild?

The troops of both sides approached in large numbers, and each of them was in high spirits.

The Barbarian Khan, wearing armor, personally rode on his warhorse, pointing his spear and saying, "Men, attack."

A group of cavalrymen, howling, began to rush towards the Wu army in batches.

However, the infantry on the Wu side were organized in strict square formations, giving the cavalry no chance to launch a sneak attack.

Similarly, as soon as the cavalry approached the edge of the phalanx, arrows flew everywhere.

"Boom boom boom boom" the artillery fired again this time.

After a few days of adapting, the barbarians felt that although this thing was powerful, it would not be a big problem as long as it was spread far enough.

The main target of the artillery is to deal with the rebel infantry. The infantry are gathered in groups, and if they are shot at with iron eggs one by one, they will be killed or wounded in large numbers.

Even this time, apart from a few temporary troops, the main force to deal with the rebels was the firearms army.

Ning Yi directly pushed the firearms army forward. After training for so long and wasting so many firearms troops, they must be put to use.

The rebels endured casualties one after another, and when they were finally approaching, they suddenly heard a "boom boom boom boom boom" sound of continuous white smoke billowing out from the front of the firearms army of about 10,000 people.

Another batch of iron eggs flew over, this time they were all smashed by the Tiger Dun Cannons on the ground.

Qin Haifeng, who was standing in the back, took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, with so many artillery pieces firing simultaneously, the rebels have lost thousands of men in just a few waves."

"That's just the beginning. This time, I'll show you what a firearms massacre is." Ning Yi said with a smile.

Qin Haifeng watched with his eyes wide open. He felt that the nearly 70,000 troops were enough to deal with the rebels.

There was only one firearms army on the front.

When the rebels rushed over on their two legs, howling, they were about to get close.

But the Tiger Cannon fired a series of shotgun shells, almost knocking down all the rebels in the front layer. The stones were like rain, as if they were harvesting wheat.

The rebels on both sides continued to confront the Wu Kingdom's phalanx army, and both sides continued to fight with various weapons.

Bows and arrows were thrown at each other, and people fell one after another in the crowd.

However, a row of artillery pieces in the rear of the Wu State opened fire in succession, targeting the troops in the rear of the rebels, as well as small catapults, throwing cans of gunpowder one after another, only hitting their archer positions.

The rebels' bows and arrows soon became sparse, and the battle between the two sides in front became even more intense.

In the direction of the main force, in front of the firearms army, whistles suddenly sounded.

"Bang bang bang bang bang" the firearms formations opened fire one after another, and white smoke was emitted from the rows of soldiers in front.

There was still some unfamiliarity, and some soldiers were even worried.

But after they opened fire, many of the charging rebels on the opposite side screamed and fell down.

Then the soldiers in the second row opened fire, followed by the third row.

After the first row finished reloading, they stood up again and continued to fire as the whistle sounded.

After several waves of fire from thousands of muskets, most of the 20,000 rebels rushing towards them were killed.

The front was filled with wounded rebel soldiers and corpses lying down.

The casualties were so horrific that we couldn't even get close to them. They fell down in large numbers.

The rebels in the rear were terrified, and some even dared not move forward.

But under the urging of the officers in the rear, they were about to rush forward when they were fired at one after another by the loaded Tiger Dun cannons, and batches of buckshot were scattered, which frightened them.

Especially when those strange weapons that emitted white smoke were pointed at them, they were scared to death.

The rebels in the center of the army collapsed completely. They couldn't rush forward at all. As many as they tried to rush forward suffered casualties. They were simply like devils.

But the fighting was still going on between the two sides, and the firearms troops had begun to split up and fire at the flanks of the rebels on both sides.

Ning Yi smiled and said, "How about it, Haifeng? The fighting capacity of the Firearms Army is pretty good, right?"

Qin Haifeng swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, are they defeated already?"

"Of course." Ning Yi said unconcernedly, "The rebels are almost defeated. The next step will be a cavalry showdown."

The barbarian Khan had no time to care about the battlefield on the rebel side. He was concentrating on the cavalry rushing towards both wings.

But he never expected that not only did a large number of cavalry appear behind Ning Yi's army, but they also came to greet them from both wings.
