boom-- boom-- boom-- There was another violent explosion. The Yingsang people were not really invulnerable to swords and guns, and their morale was instantly destroyed. The Han people who were wavering in their approach began to take the lead in laying down their weapons. "idiot!" The ninth ronin shouted, But this curse was drowned out by the third round of explosions. More people surrendered. Li Qingcha, who was not far away, watched all this and felt deeply moved:
My lord, times have changed. Chapter 231 What a vicious plan! The ninth ronin gnashed his teeth. The firearms of the Great Xia army before them were well-maintained, their morale was high, and their arms were well coordinated, making them completely different from the officers and soldiers in the garrisons. He knew very well that his own side, with its declining military strength, could no longer sustain the attack and would eventually be defeated by the Daxia army. Fortunately, the task assigned by Gu She was completed. It's time to retreat. The Ninth-Rank Ronin waved his fan, and the Crane Wing Formation changed direction, with the rear team becoming the front team. How could Ao Jingshan let them escape so easily? "All archers should aim and shoot, especially at those Yingsang people holding flags and fans!" As he spoke, he snatched the bow and arrow from the soldier next to him. Embracing the full moon, with the bowstring vibrating, call out-- The feather arrow went straight into the forehead of a Yingsang man. At this time, the morale of the Daxia army was high. Led by the sword and shield soldiers, they advanced forward and launched a pursuit under the cover of bows and arrows. Unfortunately, the remnants of the Yingsang people still did not give up the resistance. Under the command of the ninth ronin, more than ten muskets were fired. Although the killing power is very weak, they will still lose their combat power after being hit. The sword and shield soldiers rushing in the front are blocked and their pace slows down. Under the cover of muskets, the Yingsang people fought and retreated in an orderly manner.
The Seventh Prince shouted, "How about forgetting it? We have already achieved... mmmmmm..." The rest of his words were covered up by Mu Shi. Li Qingcha ran towards the carriage, "Don't shout!" "!@#￥*%..." "As the nominal commander, your shouting can easily destroy the morale of our army." "..." The seventh prince stopped struggling. Li Qingcha nodded to Mu Shi, and Mu Shi let him go. The Seventh Prince lowered his voice. "The enemy had more than a hundred men, and our army killed or wounded more than forty men with almost no casualties, and captured more than forty men. Isn't this a good result?" Li Qingcha sighed. "Look at those fleeing Yingsang people. They were struck by the Fire Crow Divine Thunder three times, yet they still had the will and determination to resist. This shows that they are the real elite of the pirates." "That's right. They are equipped with muskets, which means they are indeed elite. If we chase pirates with muskets and cause casualties..." The seventh prince was worried that he would not be able to explain to his father, the emperor. Li Qing held his forehead with a headache. "Not that scary. The Yingsang people are really good at using long swords to fight. They will not be able to calmly add ammunition when they retreat. After each burst of fire, it is a good opportunity for our army to suppress them." "This one……" The Seventh Prince was still hesitating. However, the fighting opportunity was fleeting, and Ao Jingshan was already prepared. He ordered the cavalry: "Charge with me. We have plum blossom crossbows as cover. Shoot any enemy who dares to resist, and leave those who run away with their heads in their arms alone for now." The purpose of doing this is to break up the formation of the Yingsang people first. Ao Jingshan called on the cavalry to pursue, The tactics he arranged were indeed extraordinary. The twelve riders were on the two wings, with crossbowmen providing cover in the middle. They moved at a moderate speed, keeping a distance from the enemy in a very insidious way. The ninth ronin looked unhappy. He knew that if they continued to waste time like this, something bad would happen sooner or later, so he ordered his men to turn around and meet them. However, after a battle, and then they were busy escaping, the pirates had very little physical strength left, and their fighting power was greatly weakened. Besides, using infantry to fight cavalry is just seeking death, isn't it?
Ao Jingshan waved his hand. This time it was even more sinister. The cavalry did not charge at all, but circled around the Yingsang people, raising dust. Fighting like this is obviously because they want to eat until they are full. What follows will be a battle of annihilation with zero casualties. On the other side, Mu Shi commanded the infantry of the Beijing Camp to slowly approach and gradually catch up with the cavalry. The infantry and cavalry combined to surround the enemy corps. Ao Jingshan's mouth curled up into a cruel arc. "Fire arrows!" This is when the correctness of the defensive counterattack is reflected. After firing a few rounds of arrows, the archers of the Beijing Camp had consumed a lot of physical strength, and the arrows they shot were soft and weak, but they had no problem shooting in the face at close range. The pirates were already exhausted and had no strength to dodge, and they immediately became living targets. The rain of arrows was like the wind blowing through a wheat field, causing the pirates to fall down like wheat stalks. The scene was quite bloody. It was even bloodier than the Fire Crow Divine Thunder washing the ground just now. The Seventh Prince retched and hid back in the carriage. Ao Jingshan looked at Li Qingcha. Li Qingcha noticed his gaze, smiled and shook his head. "Lord Ao, I understand that being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. I even think that it's a bit too easy for them to just shoot them with bows and arrows." tsk... Ao Jingshan was shocked, thinking that Li Qingcha looked gentle and refined, but he didn't expect that he was actually a ruthless person. He gave the order: "Except for the leader of the ronin, kill them all." At this time, the ninth-rank ronin was still using his sword to block the rain of arrows. It’s a pity that he couldn’t protect the other pirates and could only watch his men being shot into hedgehogs one by one. The tide is over... He took out a short knife from somewhere and started to speak in English. Judging from the situation, he should be preparing for a caesarean section. Li Qingcha said to Xiang Nanyu: "Don't let him die!" The girl listened to her senior brother's words and flew out like an eagle. Her figure flashed by, and when she reappeared, she was holding the ninth-grade ronin in her hand. The ronin's face was full of disbelief.
Just now, the tip of the dagger had pierced the skin of the abdomen, but for some reason, the air seemed to become sticky and heavy, making it impossible to breathe, and everything around seemed to be in slow motion. And during these slow motions, a young girl strolled over and kicked the dagger out of his hand. This is obviously a high-level strong man... The wanderer's face was gloomy. It turns out that we were doomed to lose from the very beginning. The Daxia monks didn't need to charge into the battle formation. They just had to harass like sparrows, and sneak attack a few people from time to time, and they would be able to decide the outcome quickly. The wanderer raised his head and looked at Ao Jingshan riding on his horse. "Why don't you let me die?" "I have something to ask you." The one who answered was not Ao Jingshan, but Li Qingcha. She rode forward, "Whose orders are you taking?" "Gu She." "Tsk...what are his specific requests?" "Let's go ashore, plunder the fishing village by the sea, and kill a few people." "Do you know the reason for the murder?" "I do not know." Just like Minamiide Ryuto, he is another person who only knows how to follow orders. Li Qingcha had already sorted out his thoughts. She turned to the Seventh Prince's carriage. "Your Highness, just now when we were discussing, you said, 'If they really accidentally killed the civilians who attacked the imperial envoy's headquarters, they would definitely try to cover it up and make it look like they were killed by bandits.' Is that true or not?" The Seventh Prince leaned out of the car window. "Keep your voice down!" "It doesn't matter. It's nothing. I just thought that pirates are also considered as bandits." "..." The Seventh Prince could not help but look shocked. a long time, "Damn it! What a vicious plot! They actually plotted against the royal family..."
The Seventh Prince has understood. The two events are actually a series of plots, linked together. If he killed a few civilians who attacked the imperial envoy's headquarters, he would definitely put the blame on the pirates. At that time, the person who planned the whole thing would have the upper hand over him. Being controlled by others, Bozhou can only turn a blind eye to whatever happens. Seventh Prince: "Fuck!" He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "How could the person who came up with this vicious plan know that I wouldn't just give up..."
