The most arrogant in history

Chapter 190: Swords and guns shed blood.

At dawn, 1,500 infantrymen climbed onto Xiaogushan Mountain, along with Yao Caidie's 100 female soldiers.

On the top of the mountain, Ye Kun’s flag was raised.

Ye Kunyi, without taking off his armor, ordered everyone to immediately use the rocks on the mountain and the sacks they brought to build defensive fortifications.

In less than half an hour, the catapults were set up, the crossbowmen and grenade throwers were in place, and the first line of defense was also completed.

Xue Ju led three hundred heavy cavalry and one thousand light cavalry to protect the enemy on all sides.

An hour later, shouts shook the sky in the valley in the south, and Sima Yu personally led an army of 5,000 and swarmed in to attack.

Xue Ju used heavy cavalry to fight against Sima Yu's heavy cavalry, and used light cavalry to fight against light cavalry, fighting and retreating.

Soon, Sima Yu's troops reached the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the scene of thousands of people fighting, all of Yao Caidie's female soldiers showed fear on their faces.

It is easy to train soldiers in normal times, but only when you go to the battlefield do you realize the cruelty of war!

Ye Kun looked at the situation below the mountain, waved his small flag and ordered: "Strong crossbowmen, shoot directly at the enemy cavalry, cooperate with General Xue!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Four hundred strong crossbowmen, shooting heavy arrows in turns.

Arrows rained down like rain on Sima Yu's team, instantly knocking them down!

Most of the pulley crossbows this time can penetrate armor within two hundred meters and kill enemy heavy cavalry. It's so exciting.

Sima Yu's troops were intercepted by powerful crossbows and immediately fell into chaos, standing still and trampling on each other.

"Beat the drums, tell General Xue to fight back!"

Boom boom boom!

On the top of the mountain, drums were beating loudly.

When Xue Ju saw the situation turning around, he immediately led the heavy cavalry to charge and kill the enemy.

The two sides engaged in a melee.

Ye Kun ordered the pulley crossbow to move forward and continue to intercept and kill the enemy's heavy cavalry and arrogant generals.

Sima Yu immediately organized an archery counterattack, but because of the insufficient range, he could only watch helplessly.

Xue Ju led his troops and advanced forward step by step, killing the enemy and causing them to fall to the ground, with blood flowing like a river.

The enemy's heavy cavalry were not numerous, only a few hundred in number, and more than half of them were killed by Ye Kun's decapitation-style targeted attack.

The remaining light cavalry immediately showed a disadvantage when fighting against Xue Ju's heavy cavalry.

Sima Yu was furious, waving his whip and shouting, "Divide the troops to attack Xiaogushan and force the enemy's archers to stop!"

At the southern foot of Xiaogushan, Sima Yu sent thousands of infantrymen to join the battle and stormed Xiaogushan.

Ye Kun waved his flag and shouted, "Sound the gong, archers retreat to the defense line and cover the retreat of General Xue's troops!"

Ding Ding Ding-!

The gong sounded loudly.

Xue Ju immediately withdrew his troops and retreated northward.

Sima Yu lost thousands of soldiers and gritted his teeth. He adjusted his tactics and besieged Xiaogushan from all sides.

Ye Kun remained calm and continued to give orders:

"Strong crossbowmen shoot at fully armored soldiers, and light crossbowmen shoot at half-armored soldiers. Don't be impatient, wait until you are close enough to shoot!"

The messenger spread the message everywhere: "General Ye has ordered, let them get closer before fighting!"

The 1,500 soldiers stationed at Xiaogushan are all proficient in bows and crossbows.

The female soldiers, including Yao Caidie, have also undergone simple archery training and can shoot moving targets in a lying or squatting position.

Everyone cooperated well and shot in turns.

Amid the wailing and screaming, the hillside was already covered with dead bodies.

The enemy soldiers climbed the mountain in armor and moved slowly. A wave of them died. They were still a hundred meters away from Ye Kun’s first line of defense.

Ye Kun squatted beside Caidie and pointed at an enemy infantryman a hundred meters away: "Caidie, kill him!"

Yao Caidie nodded, aimed at the enemy, and pulled the trigger.

There is also a sight on the crossbow, called "Wangshan".

After Ye Kun's adjustment, the crossbow still had some accuracy within a hundred meters. A skilled crossbowman could hit the target with at least one arrow out of two or three.

Unexpectedly, Yao Caidie was extremely lucky.

The first time I killed an enemy in actual combat, I hit the target with one shot!

All I heard was the sound of a bowstring, and the enemy soldier a hundred meters away let out a scream and fell backwards!

"Brother Dalang, I hit it!"

"Good archery, accurate shooting!"

Ye Kun was also happy and ordered all the female soldiers: "Sisters, aim at the enemy and shoot!"

The female soldiers were greatly encouraged and they aimed at the enemy and shot indiscriminately.

However, most people are not as lucky as the colorful butterfly.

There were too many enemy troops, and they kept coming one after another, gradually approaching Ye Kun’s first line of defense.

Ye Kun ordered: "Stone-throwing carts, fire a wave of stones at the densely packed enemy area, and then fire a wave of incendiary bombs!"

Fifty simple catapults had been prepared, and a wave of stones flew out.

Catapults cannot achieve precise strikes and can only fire randomly.

Fortunately, we have the advantage of geographical location. After the stone is thrown out, it will bounce and roll downwards after landing, causing secondary damage.

The unlucky enemy soldiers were hit by the stones and were either killed or injured.

The enemy soldiers, most of whom were wearing armor, attacked the mountain, but their speed was not that fast.

As soon as the catapult finished launching the first wave of stones, the second wave of incendiary bombs immediately followed.

Flames suddenly rose up at the bottom of the hill.

The enemy was in great disorder, hesitating and not daring to move forward.

The archers on Ye Kun's side had plenty of arrows and continued to shoot the enemy.

Sima Yu saw that the damage was severe, but they were already close to Ye Kun's defense line. He felt that they could still make a charge, so he immediately urged the rear troops to fill in.

In front of the defense line, there were dead bodies lying all over the place and a huge number of enemy troops.

Because the bows and crossbows were not fast enough, everyone was a little overwhelmed and wanted to use grenades. They shouted, "General Ye, the enemy is approaching, what should we do?"

"Release grenades and catapult bombs!" Ye Kun waved his flag and gave the order.

If you don't let go, we'll have to fight face to face.

Ye Kun valued his soldiers and did not want his side to suffer too many casualties, so he had to use his ultimate move.

The grenadier was overjoyed and quickly took his position, throwing the grenade deep into the enemy's territory.

Boom, boom, boom——!

Smoke rose and explosions sounded one after another.

Sure enough, Sima Yu's soldiers were immediately frightened and screamed in fear, turning around and running away.

On the catapult, the thunder bomb was ready and then fired, flying more than 300 meters to bomb the enemy's rear.

Thunderbolt bombs were originally packaged in jars. Ye Kun learned from the experience of grenades and also changed to paper tubes to load the explosives, and pasted iron and porcelain sheets on the outside.

In this way, even if it explodes after landing, it will still be powerful.

The clay pot thunder bombs designed in the past often broke into pieces before they exploded due to the delayed detonation, causing great waste.

Paper tube packaging slightly affects the power of the thunder bomb, but it can be done by increasing the amount of powder.

Each thunder bomb is made of a full pound of selected granular black powder, and is quite powerful.

One hundred hand grenades and fifty thunder bombs blew the enemy soldiers to the ground and made them piss and shit.

There was smoke and explosions all around Xiaogushan.

This doesn't seem like a cold weapon war, but more like a battlefield with hot weapons.

Sima Yu led his personal soldiers to supervise the battle in the rear. His warhorse was frightened and started jumping wildly on the spot.

"Beat the drums, kill them!"

Seeing that the enemy was defeated on all fronts, Ye Kun immediately organized a counterattack.

The war drums sounded, and the archers and spearmen on the mountain cooperated and counterattacked the people down the mountain.

When Xue Ju heard the sound of war drums, he also turned around and led his troops to attack.

Ye Kun drew out his sword and shouted:

"Yao Caidie, listen to my orders. Bring all the female soldiers and follow me. Today, I require everyone to shed blood with their swords and guns! Those who don't shed blood with their swords and guns will be punished by military law. Kill——!"

"Kill--"

The female soldiers dropped their bows and crossbows, picked up their swords and guns, followed Ye Kun, and rushed down the mountain.
