Chapter 1164 Small-Scale Conflict

On the southern border of the Daji Dynasty, a "small-scale" battle is going on. The two sides combined have only a few thousand people.

After a round of negotiations, the two armies were just asking the other side to surrender quickly, which was a meaningless dialogue, and naturally there was no result.

The negotiations were fruitless, and the two sides began to fight. One side was well-dressed, mighty, and carried the flag of the Southern Army of the Daji Dynasty, beating drums and shouting, and the other side did not have such bright armor, but had more people, and from the perspective of outsiders, it was not bad.

The Southern Army had less than 2,000 people, and the other side had 5,000 people. The strength difference was more than double. Although there was an advantage in armor and weapons, the battle should not go smoothly. This was the view of all the onlookers.

However, after the battle, the situation unexpectedly showed a one-sided situation.

The reason was that the Southern Army of the Daji Dynasty was already equipped with long-range firearms, such as the Dragon Spear, the Fiery Spear, and even the Red Cannon that could fire ten miles away.

Such firearms are extremely powerful and can greatly affect the outcome of a war. They are a secret kept secret in the army. The other side is just a small country in the south, with a population of 100,000 and a county. How could they know this?

Although the Southern Army is rich, it is impossible to equip everyone with firearms. Not even one out of ten people can do it. However, once such epoch-making weapons are used, the army of the small country will have no power to fight back. The cannons are like thunder in the sky, exploding among the soldiers, killing and wounding countless people. Those who are lucky enough to survive will be deafened or even disfigured.

The bloody scene is no less than the cold weapon confrontation, and the speed of the massacre is even faster than that of the cold weapon.

After a few rounds of cannon fire, the other side has already scattered like birds and beasts. Originally, these soldiers did not think about really going to war with the court. They just heard from the nobles in the country that the taxes collected by the court this time were far better than the eve of the day. Organizing and scaring them can reduce taxes. Who knew that it would be a job that would kill them.

The 2,000 soldiers of the Southern Army of the Daji Dynasty took advantage of the situation to kill the surrendered soldiers. There were countless surrendered soldiers. Almost all of them dropped their weapons and crawled on the ground. Then, this army did not rest, but recruited the surrendered soldiers. After a little arrangement, they continued to move south, preparing to capture the capital of the small country in one fell swoop.

Rather than saying that they were confident, it was better to say that they were extremely arrogant. They were so reckless that they incorporated the surrendered soldiers into their combat system.

Then, this army came to the outside of the capital. First, they sent the surrendered soldiers to surrender, but to no avail. They obviously had a sharp siege weapon-the red cannon, but they abandoned it and let the surrendered soldiers be cannon fodder and carry sand to fill the city.

Of course, there is no need to blame them. After all, firearms are precious. The price of a cannonball is much more precious than the lives of several soldiers. You can rely on human lives to fill it. Why use artillery? This is a waste.

Arrows rained down from the city. After this trip, almost nine deaths were left. Many surrendered soldiers had a resistance mentality, and then they were suppressed.

There was internal turmoil. Perhaps the Southern Army of the Daji Dynasty did not expect that the army of the small country defending in the city would have the courage to come out.

The battlefield was in chaos due to internal and external troubles. The invincible firearms of the Southern Army were completely useless in such a scene because they could easily hurt their own people. After a fight, the team of 2,000 people was reduced by half and had to withdraw in disgrace. If the artillery was not far away, even the precious artillery would be lost, which was a crime punishable by beheading.

The Southern Army commander, who saw the chaotic battle and defeat, was furious and ordered the artillery to be aimed at the ignorant small country pariahs and all the shells were fired.

This Southern Army commander was a captain of 10,000 men. Yes, you heard it right, a captain of 10,000 men, but he had only 2,000 men under him. Even if there were few fully staffed troops in the army, it was extremely rare to have 80% of the shortage.

This man wore a black gold helmet, shining in the sun; he wore a black silk robe, fluttering in the wind. He wore black iron armor, tightly bound by leather straps; he wore flower-pleated boots, looking like a general. His waist was wide and his height was ten feet. He held a knife in his hand, and the blade was so bright.

The equipment was good, but there was no place to use it. From beginning to end, this commander did not go to the battlefield, but stayed by the artillery, ready to provide fire support at any time.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask for credit and reward in front of King Jin, but he did not expect that he would be defeated and made such a big joke. How could he give up? He ordered the soldiers to set up the artillery, regardless of the fact that there were still soldiers who had not escaped from the chaos, especially those who were guarding the rear.

There were only three artillery pieces in total, but they fired out, and fire snakes surged out of the barrels, unstoppable. The shells hit the tower, sparks flew, wood and stones flew, and hit the crowd, causing people to fall to the ground, and the masses could not retreat in time, with countless casualties.

For a time, the artillery fire spread, black clouds covered the ground, and red flames flew into the sky. The golden snakes are scorching, and the flames are scattering thousands of fireballs. With the help of the strong wind, the carved beams and painted buildings are temporarily stopped; the flames rise to the sky, and the tall buildings are gone in a flash.

After firing hundreds of shells in a row, they stopped for a while, which was also because the shells were empty. In fact, if they had not thought about saving shells at the beginning, they would not have fallen into such a predicament. It was all the trouble they had caused, and who could they blame?

This small-scale war ended with the retreat of the Southern Army, but if you look at it from an outsider's perspective, it reveals weirdness and fantasy anyway.

If it is said that the dispute between this small country and the Great Ji Dynasty is because the Great Ji Dynasty wants the country to pay more taxes, as long as it does not exceed the limit, it will pay.

Anyway, anyone with a discerning eye now knows that as the end of the election system is getting closer, several princes are trying every means to improve their prestige. They just need to wait until this storm has passed. At this time, it is absolutely impossible to have a dispute with the Daji Dynasty. Not a good choice.

If it really can't be produced, it won't lead to a war. A small country with a population of less than 100,000 faces this battle, which has almost exhausted the country's energy and blood, and nearly 10% of the people have gone into battle to charge. And there were countless people who cheered afterward.

For the Daji Dynasty, this matter may not even make it to the emperor's desk. It is just a border conflict, but for a small country, this is a national war. Once it fails, there will be no aftermath. After all, Who gave this king the courage to dare to challenge the prestige of the Daji Dynasty.

Of course, the reason for this was that Wu Yi, who was watching from the side, had a clear background, because there was Taotie in this city. The king of the small country saw Taotie and worshiped him as a god. Everything Taotie said was regarded as a standard, so it happened. Such incredible things come.

If Wu Yi hadn't followed Taotie's aura and came here, he might not have been able to discover the weirdness in it.
