Chapter 126 Fire!
After deciding who would take the lead, Yan You and Mao Jianli immediately led their troops and rushed towards Youzhou.
But Murong Kai did not move his troops.
"Your Majesty, are you really not going to march with them?" Xianbei General Kebi Neng said, "Based on my understanding of the two of them, they will definitely secretly intercept the looted materials and women, and there is no way they will take them out and distribute them according to the agreed shares. Why does Your Majesty let them lead the charge?"
He doesn't understand.
When looting other places in the past, although Murong Kai often sought cooperation from others, he usually took the lead and snatched the best things first, and then others would get to eat the soup.
But this time, Murong Kai acted out of character, as if he had no interest in Youzhou at all.
This is not normal at all.
You know, winter is coming soon, and there is nothing on the northern grasslands in winter. We must go south to grab enough food to survive the winter safely.
Otherwise, they can only fight each other and survive by reducing the population.
Not to mention the Xianbei plan.
"It doesn't matter. If they can really succeed, the things they will grab will be so much that even the three of us combined cannot take it all. The so-called ratio actually depends on the number of people!" Murong Kai said.
This made Ke Bineng stunned.
Are the Han people so rich?
"And if they fail and lose a lot of troops, that's even better!" Murong Kai added: "These two have developed rapidly in recent years and have become too powerful to be eliminated. It's time to change the two dogs!"
Hearing this, Ke Bineng suddenly understood.
Praise: "Your Majesty is wise."
But they didn't know that Murong Kai didn't say one thing, which was: the reason why he called Yan You and Mao Jianli here was actually to use them as pawns to test Ji Hao's strength!
He actually understood the Central Plains and had been taught a lesson by Gongsun Zan, Lu Bu and others.
Even Yuan Shao dealt with him.
It's done very well.
With just a few thousand soldiers and horses, they defeated his army of tens of thousands.
The reason why he dared to come was because he heard that "Xing Daorong", who was as famous as Ji Hao, was actually a name in vain, and he thought that Ji Hao might also be the tip of the Silver Wax Spear, otherwise he would not have been so "stable" all the time.
But I'm not completely sure.
Therefore, two pawns were needed to explore the way and test his firepower.
It has to be said that this "stability" saved his life: when Yanyou and Mao Jianli arrived at the border of Youzhou, before they saw anyone in the distance, they heard a "fire" so loud that it did not sound like something a human could make.
It was broadcast using a loudspeaker and could travel very far in an open area.
It can be heard even from more than ten miles away.
"What's going on? Are they fighting with others?" Mao Jianli asked puzzledly.
The person hasn't seen him yet. According to his thinking, the other party can't see him either, so it's naturally impossible for them to shoot at him. They must be shooting at someone else.
But wasn’t it said that Youzhou had been taken over by that “coward king”?
Are there still rebels?
"The Central Plains is vast and rich in resources, with a large population, but there is one bad thing about it: it loves wars. There are wars almost every year," said Yan You.
Next, he would send someone to investigate the situation.
But at this moment, tongues of fire appeared on the opposite side.
From a distance, he could see black dots coming, and one of them landed right in front of Yeonwoo. It was the size of a human head and was smoking, which frightened him, but also secretly rejoiced.
"Fortunately, I missed!"
But at this moment, a loud roar sounded.
It’s as if I had become an immortal.
Yanyou could feel his body floating up in an instant, rising straight up into the sky, flying very high. The earth was getting farther away, and the people around him were getting smaller.
The body became lighter and lighter, as if it had no weight.
It was not until his perspective rotated 360 degrees and he saw familiar limbs flying to various places and Mao Jianli's horrified face in the distance that he suddenly reacted.
"I didn't ascend to heaven, I transformed into a corpse?"
At the sharp angle, he only saw a black ball falling in front of Yanyou and suddenly exploded. The flames exploded, and Yanyou was broken into several pieces.
Head, arms, legs, body, all scattered all over the floor.
This is Ji Hao’s “Hongwu Cannon”.
The technology was similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, but the shells were specially made high explosives with a wide explosion range and very powerful lethality. Before Mao Jianli could react, the shells exploded into the army, and one by one they broke their arms and legs and flew up into the air.
"What the hell is this?"
He was completely confused and turned around and ran towards the grassland.
At this moment, he did not have any extra thoughts, only one word: escape!
He didn't know what he was getting into.
But he knew that human power was absolutely unable to fight against what he encountered. There was not even a shred of possibility.
"If I can survive this time, I will bow three times a day to the Heaven, the Yellow Heaven, or the Hao Heaven, please let me go!" Mao Jianli thought to himself.
The Huns had been fighting with the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, so they were naturally familiar with things in the Central Plains.
At this moment, everyone must become a devout believer of "God".
But at this moment, a sense of crisis suddenly arose. He subconsciously turned around and saw a cannon with an exaggeratedly large caliber pointed at him on a hillside in the distance.
Of course, he didn't know it was a cannon.
All I know is that it is a weapon, not a weapon that should exist in the world.
The next moment, a sound broke through the air.
Tongues of fire flew by.
It landed about three meters in front of Mao Jianli - there was no doubt that the gunner, who lacked practical experience, was operating the "Yunlong Cannon" which had not yet been mass-produced, and missed the target.
Missed the target.
Even the explosion did not affect Mao Jianli.
It made him feel relieved.
"God bless you..."
Before he could finish his words, he fell silent, his legs stretched out, his eyes widened, and he fell down limply with reluctance: on his forehead, a piece of shrapnel only the size of a finger pierced his head.
explode?
No, the shrapnel's ricocheting range is the effective killing range.
The gunner missed the target.
But, there is no space!
"How can this be?"
Liu Bei, who was far away in Jingzhou, was so shocked that he jumped up after seeing this scene through the Eight Diagrams. Guan and Zhang were also shocked. Ma Chao, who was fearless, took a few steps back in fear and ended up tripping and falling to the ground.
After getting up, his face was still full of surprise and confusion.
Even Zhuge Liang opened his mouth into an "o" shape.
From their perspective, they saw that when the distance was about "twenty miles", Ji Hao had already set up a number of cannons and fired at the enemy.
The firepower covered the enemy, and a round of artillery shells were fired, directly "clearing the field".
The army, which was originally riding horses and in neat formation, was instantly turned into a pile of broken corpses, with at least 80% of its soldiers killed and wounded.
What is this concept?
If it had been the Battle of Jingzhou, when I set up the Bagua Formation, Ji Hao would have uprooted it with one round!
It can be clearly seen that the soil has been turned up wherever the army is.
Looking from the sky, the original green was directly painted with a layer of black and red. The black was soil and the red was blood!
