Chapter 278 The first shot (7)

The earth was moving away at an extremely fast speed, and the crowd was getting smaller and smaller. However, Yan Da's consciousness began to blur, and gradually became pitch black.

On the city wall not far away, the trusted general of Yanda was staring at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance, his ears were filled with deafening thunder, his mouth opened and closed, and he said words that no one could understand.

It was over, it was all over. With a loud noise from the sky, nearly five of the cavalry, together with the horse under the seat, turned into broken limbs and broken arms.

The remaining cavalry suffered no physical injuries. The huge explosion made them collectively deaf. They stared at the big pit in front of them, and their thinking fell to a standstill.

Unlike the dazed cavalry, the war horses completely lost control after being frightened, and the instinct of wild beasts made them flee with their masters on their backs.

If it were normal, these elite cavalry could control the war horses no matter how hard they were, but the knights were also frightened at this time. They were lifted off the horses by the war horses, and then they were trampled into a pile of meat paste that no one could tell what it was.

These are five thousand cavalrymen. In an instant, only the five hundred cavalrymen entering Guihua City were intact. Even if the rest were not dead, they were seriously injured.

As the supreme commander, Yan Da died for his country, and he could not even find a complete body.

At this time, behind a dirt slope five miles away from Guihua City, the two hundred Lingfu military academy was on high alert. Although they were used to the power of artillery, such a large amount of noise still changed their faces.

Cheng Chumo, who was sitting on a stone behind the earth slope, was shocked and fell off the stone. After getting up as fast as possible, there was no anger on his face. Instead, he shouted excitedly: "It's done, this bastard Feng Qiang has succeeded!"

Not far away, Li Hao had no joy on his face, stared at the distance and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it's successful! I just don't know how many of them can come back alive this time."

Cheng Chumo turned around and comforted him carelessly: "Oh, don't worry, these bastards are alive. Besides, they are two hundred steps away from the place where gunpowder is buried. Even if the gunpowder explodes, it won't be possible to blow them up."

Li Hao gave Cheng Chumo a blank look: "I'm not afraid of them being bombed, I'm afraid that they won't escape after being discovered."

Several people were chatting, and suddenly heard the sound of hooves in the distance, which was messy. When everyone looked up, several scattered war horses were running away from afar. The horse's back was as empty as wild, and there was not even a ghost.

These war horses must have escaped after being frightened on the battlefield, right? Li Hao thought to himself, and raised his telescope and searched quickly in the direction of the war horses.

Soon, a few small black dots that jumped and jumped appeared in his sight.

After a while, Feng Qiang, who was covered in dust, rushed to the back of the dirt slope with a few people. As soon as he stood still, he shouted with joy: "Governor, Captain Cheng, Captain Changsun, Dasheng, Dasheng."

"How to win a lot, tell me carefully." Changsun, who had not spoken for a long time, rushed forward, grabbed Feng Qiang and asked.

"That Baekje General and the Prefect were all bombed into the sky. The villain could see clearly that they were all broken sacks. I guess even if the gods came, they would not be able to save them. There were also those Baekje cavalry, except for five hundred people entering the city to investigate the reality, the rest were bombed to death on the spot, and most of the rest died under the hoof of the horse."

Feng Qiang said with a slutty smile, and his saliva flew around.

Fortunately, Changsun was far away and was not splashed.

Cheng Chumowen said overjoyed and said to Li Hao: "How is it? I'll just say it's okay. You have to worry about this and that. Look, this is not all intact. By the way, I also killed the Baekje cavalry."

Long before breaking the City of Guihua, Li Hao and others had already expected that Baekje would not give up. You should know that Naturalization is not only the city closest to the capital, but also the main roads at Baijiangkou. If it occupied this place, all ships entering and leaving Baijiangkou would be threatened.

Therefore, the loss of Guihua City will inevitably attract high attention from Baekje, especially when reinforcements return to the rescue, Baekje will send troops to retake it.

However, it is easy to break the city and it is difficult to defend the city. Li Hao and others broke the naturalization by surprise. If they want to defend the city, not to mention that they only have 500 combat soldiers on hand, even if they add more than 400 naval troops and more than 100 combat soldiers who guard the ships, they are not enough to guard a city wall.

Therefore, after seizing the city, Li Hao hurriedly stationed in the city for a few days and then took his people out of the city, lying about ten miles outside the city. At the same time, spies were sent from the direction of the royal capital to monitor the movements of the other party at all times.

Until the opponent's reinforcements were released, Li Hao and others buried ten thousand kilograms of black gunpowder that were unforgettable to the Baekje people in about two miles north of the city.

As for why it is at a position of about two miles, this position is a distance for cavalry to advance, attack, retreat or defend. If there are a large number of ambushers in the city, with the buffer of these two miles of distances, the Baekje cavalry can retreat calmly.

If there are no ambush, the Baekje cavalry can rush into the city in the shortest time and eliminate the people inside.

"Dejian, what should we do next? Withdraw?" After the excitement, the three of them gathered together again. Changsun Chong first asked the most concerned questions in everyone's hearts.

"It's not impossible to withdraw troops. Anyway, we have almost used up all the gunpowder now, so it's useless to leave it behind." Li Hao said as Changsun Chong's words, but there was hesitation in his tone.

Changsun Chong heard that there seemed to be something unfinished in his words and said in surprise: "Don't you want to leave?"

Li Hao narrowed his eyes and said leisurely: "This is a good opportunity, it's a pity to miss it."

“What good opportunity?”

"A good opportunity to raise the enemy to respect himself." Li Hao hooked his fingers to Changsun Chong and Cheng Chumo. The three of them put their heads together, and only heard him whisper: "You said, if we stay here, what will happen if we turn Baekje upside down? Will Baekje ask for help from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Dejian, is Goguryeo closer to Baekje? Why did he want to go far?" Cheng Chumo asked a very sharp question, but before Li Hao could speak, Changsun Chong had already answered him: "So what about Goguryeo? How about it? I believe that Baekje will never let Goguryeo send troops to his country, right? So they will definitely ask our Tang Dynasty for help."

Cheng Chumo blinked his big eyes and thought for a long time, and suddenly said, "You two are so bad. We are both ourselves, including the officers, soldiers and thieves. It's really a big problem to meet you two."

"Shhh..., let's be quiet!" Li Hao squeezed his eyes at the two of them.
