Chapter 380 It's a sharp weapon indeed
After saying that, the young general of the Great Jin Dynasty began to lead his less than 10,000 soldiers and appeared completely at the fastest speed.
In an instant, the two armies faced each other.
Zhao Chongxiu and his son saw it clearly from the city wall, and at this moment, Chen Yuan had already made up his mind to die.
The young general of the Great Jin Dynasty sneered, and the mocking look on his face became more and more intense.
Donglin, it is just a facade.
From the outside, the country looked vast, prosperous, and glamorous, but in reality, they couldn't even send out a mere 10,000 reinforcements.
"Just a few thousand soldiers, and you want to be reinforcements?" He sneered.
Chen Yuan's anxious expression had long since disappeared. He cleared his throat and gave himself courage.
"Thousands of soldiers? Humph, do you think we only have thousands of soldiers? We have countless soldiers!"
"Everyone can talk big." The young general of the Jin Dynasty obviously did not believe what Chen Yuan said.
"To tell you the truth, the five thousand soldiers outside your army have already been killed by the fierce generals of our Great Jin. If you go over now, the bodies are still warm, so you can collect them."
He paused and continued:
"Oh, you don't stand a chance!"
After saying this, the young general of the Great Jin Dynasty first drew out the scimitar at his waist and slashed at Chen Yuan's face.
After hearing this, Chen Yuan's heart sank.
His own five thousand soldiers were killed by the combined forces?
But then I thought, the young general is so smart, he definitely wouldn't do that.
When retreating, he shouted to the three thousand soldiers behind him,
"Soldiers, let them see how powerful we are!"
Before the Jin army launched an attack, he took the initiative.
"Soldiers in the front row, attack!"
At his command, the soldiers behind him had already held bamboo tubes and threw them at the Jin army.
At the same time, the soldiers in the front row raised their shields, and the archers in the back row instantly ignited their arrows into rockets.
Just as the young general of the Great Jin Dynasty was wondering what trouble the Donglin soldiers were going to cause.
As soon as the bamboo tube was thrown into the Jin army, it was used as a living target.
In an instant, the bamboo tube that was thrown in was hit by a rocket from the rear of the Donglin Army.
However, the bamboo tube was hit, but there was no sound.
The rockets were also directly destroyed by the soldiers of the Great Jin.
Chen Yuan's heart began to pound.
Didn’t Your Majesty say that these bamboo tubes would automatically explode when exposed to fire?
When they looked again, they saw that their bamboo tubes had been taken by the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty. After they had torn them apart and scattered them all over the ground, they laughed at them.
"What is this?"
"Firecrackers?"
"It's funny that you want to deal with us just like this."
"..."
The jeers arose one after another.
Zhao Chongxiu and his son, who were on the city wall, were watching anxiously.
When Chen Yuan was in a panic, he saw that the other party had already run towards his army, ready to kill him.
He hurriedly gave the order:
"Rocketeer, shoot!"
Now he feels that the power of the bamboo tube is far less than that of the rocket.
The rocket launcher fired straight at the ground, setting the dry grass on fire.
Gradually, the scattered fuel on the ground was ignited.
bang——
The first loud bang was heard, and the Jin soldiers around the fuel fell to the ground instantly. They were in unbearable pain from the explosion and could not get up for a long time.
Seeing this scene, not only the young general of the Jin Dynasty, but even Chen Yuan was stunned.
I thought to myself, it is indeed a sharp weapon.
Chen Yuan continued to give orders: "Still!"
Then, another row of soldiers threw out bamboo tubes...
The sounds of explosions came one after another. Wherever the bamboo tube went, there was a lot of damage and wailing sounds followed one after another.
At this moment, some of them were blown to pieces, and some were set on fire...
The young general of Dajin was so frightened by the sudden explosion that he was at a loss as to what to do and his formation was in chaos.
But he quickly calmed down and shouted:
"Don't worry, it's just some tricks!"
They are not afraid of mere fireworks.
However, at this moment, the ground where they were was already burning with flames.
The Donglin soldiers did not use rockets, but directly threw bamboo tubes to them, which made a deafening sound.
On the city floor.
Zhao Chongxiu stared at this scene. Although the distance was far, he could see the raging fire clearly. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips as he carefully watched this exciting scene.
"Zhen'er, this plan is feasible. General Ling has dug up a treasure for our father this time."
Zhao Yuanzhen's face, which originally didn't like to smile much, also became relaxed.
"Father, you are wise. But why is it General Ling? And not that old Taoist?"
"The gunpowder plan was proposed by the young general." Zhao Chongxiu's words cleared up Zhao Yuanzhen's doubts.
No wonder his father always wanted him to hang out with the young general.
"She is good, but I am not bad either."
After hearing this, Zhao Chongxiu's expression turned serious.
"Zhen'er, as a member of the royal family, you should be more humble. The way to be a king is to be strict with yourself, appoint virtuous people and get rid of flatterers, and be prepared for danger in times of peace. If you are proud and complacent, I am afraid you will not be able to know how to use people. In the future, how can your father be at ease to pass on the throne to you?"
"My father is right." Zhao Yuanzhen became humble on the outside.
The two continued to watch the fight.
As the war raged outside the city, the young generals of the Great Jin could no longer remain calm.
The morale of the soldiers behind him had already been greatly disrupted. The Jin soldiers looked at the exploding bamboo tubes in horror and began to flee.
"Chase!" Since Chen Yuan took office as the garrison commander, he has never felt so happy as today.
Seeing that the enemy was about to escape, he naturally took advantage of the situation to pursue them.
While chasing, they first ignited the dry grass under the enemy's feet, and then another row of soldiers threw bamboo tubes.
This was the experience he had just gained from the battle.
This is also the difference between actual combat and paper talk.
With one loud bang after another, the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty had already been blown to the point where they were unable to fight.
They cried out to their parents, but no one answered their calls to heaven or earth. Their losses were not small.
However, what is even more tragic is that Chen Yuan has already led his 3,000 soldiers to start slaughtering the lambs to be slaughtered by the Jin Dynasty.
Today’s battle was really awesome.
Just then, Xue Wen rushed over.
When he rushed over, he was shocked when he saw the dead bodies on the ground.
"How is the young general?" Chen Yuan stepped forward and asked as soon as he saw Xue Wen.
Xue Wen withdrew his gaze from the dead body on the ground, and said quickly in surprise:
"The enemy army of the Great Jin has been completely dispersed, and their main general was killed by our general. However, the enemy army is too numerous, and our general is trying his best to control it, fearing that the enemy army will harm the people."
"We will go to support the young general right away!" Chen Yuan said, and then looked at the soldiers behind him.
"How much fuel is left?"
Originally, each person had a portion of fuel. At this time, the two thousand soldiers who had not yet thrown it out stepped forward.
Yes, His Majesty told them that fuel is limited and should be used sparingly.
Chen Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and without saying a word, under the guidance of Xue Wen, he rushed to where Jiang Yue was.
Although His Majesty on the city wall guessed the content of the conversation between the two, he did not know Jiang Yue's current situation. All he could do was wait and see.
