The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Chapter 376 The Terrifying Mortar

"Governor, since the Daqian Army dares to take a detour, can we attack them from behind and cooperate with the reinforcements to eliminate them?"

At this time, another deputy general suddenly spoke.

"Bullshit, if you want to die, go ahead and don't drag me down."

Hassan cursed angrily upon hearing this.

It's a surprise that you could come up with such an idea and even attack from behind.

Are the Daqian army fools that they can’t think of this?

"Yes!" The deputy general lowered his head in fear.

…………

"General, at our current pace, we will encounter the enemy in three days."

"I believe our army should set up camp in advance and choose a battlefield."

In the team, Wei Qing rode up to Yue Fei and said.

Since being recruited, Wei Qing was sent by Ning Quan to serve under Yue Fei.

Han Xin and Li Mu were sent to serve under Bai Qi.

Logically speaking, Wei Qing and the other two were capable of leading the army on their own, there was no doubt about that.

But right now, Daqian has no place to use military forces, so they can only suffer injustice.

Only when they conquered the Arabs and Persia and marched into Europe did they have the opportunity to display their abilities.

"General Wei is right. Our army needs to choose a suitable battlefield."

"How about this? This mission will be given to General Wei. You will immediately lead 5,000 cavalry forward and find a suitable location."

Yue Fei nodded and said.

"Yes, I will obey your orders."

Wei Qing clasped his fists.

Immediately, Wei Qing led 5,000 cavalrymen to set off first.

Yue Fei continued marching with the main army.

…………

Time passed quickly, and three days passed in a flash.

Yue Fei's army finally encountered the enemy.

The Arab army that came to fight had a total strength of 300,000 troops, led by General Adri.

Adlu was a famous general of the Arab Empire. It was he who commanded and won the war between the Arabs and Persians several years ago.

However, Adelu was not proud of this, as he was well aware of the horror of the Daqian army.

Otherwise, he would not have fought against Daqian three times and been completely wiped out each time.

Of course, Adelu would not overestimate the enemy. He was confident in himself and believed that he could defeat the Daqian army with his own strength.

The two armies met in a plain area next to a river.

Plains are more suitable for cavalry combat, and both armies have a considerable number of cavalry.

It was obvious that both sides wanted to rely on cavalry to win, and their ideas were the same.

At this time, the armies of both sides had set up camp and were ready to fight.

Yue Fei and Adelu rode on their war horses and looked at each other from a distance.

Adru admired the enemy commander's courage for bypassing Srinagar City and choosing to fight him first.

Isn’t he afraid that Hassan will cut off his retreat?

Or does he really have a trump card that can defeat me?

"Listen up, enemy general! I am Adlu, a general of the Arab Empire. If you know what's good for you, retreat. Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy."

Adlu rode his horse in front of the formation and said arrogantly.

"Haha, you're really arrogant, General Adelu. You talk too much nonsense."

Yue Fei said sarcastically that this guy was so arrogant that he didn't know the directions.

"Hmph, since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude." Adlu roared angrily.

"Hahaha, okay, then come on." Yue Fei laughed.

“Artillery ready!”

Immediately, Yue Fei issued an order.

Suddenly, hundreds of artillery pieces were pushed out from the camp.

The soldiers then began to load their ammunition and prepare to fire.

Adelu looked at the artillery on the opposite side and his eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect that the other party would carry so many artillery. Could this be the enemy's trump card?

But he soon shook his head, because he didn't believe these artillery pieces could pose much threat to him.

The Arabs also had cannons, it was not like he had never seen one before.

However, artillery is generally only used on warships and for defending cities, and is rarely used in field battles due to the lack of defense.

The two armies were facing each other very close to each other, and a charge would be enough to kill the other side, so the effect would not be great.

Moreover, the artillery is extremely slow to load and its power is limited.

Therefore, Adlu did not believe that the enemy's use of artillery would cause much damage to him.

But what he didn't know was that the artillery in front of him were not ordinary artillery, but the latest mortars developed by Daqian.

These mortars weigh only 500 kilograms in total, which is why they can be carried in large quantities because of their light weight.

Normal artillery weighs at least two to three thousand pounds, making it impossible to transport.

These mortars are of uniform standard, with a caliber of 50 mm and a range of 4000 meters.

It uses a new type of explosive with enormous power.

It was far from the artillery that Adlu knew.

Yue Fei looked at Adlu's disdainful expression, with a hint of sneer on his face. He knew that Adlu was going to suffer.

Yue Fei had even predicted the victory of the army.

He had seen the power of the new mortar and knew that human power was no match for it.

"Send the order, the army attacks."

Sure enough, after Adelu returned to the camp, he immediately ordered an attack.

With his order, hundreds of thousands of Arab soldiers rushed up shouting.

"Aim at the incoming enemy troops and bombard them." Seeing this, Yue Fei smiled faintly and immediately gave the order.

Suddenly, hundreds of mortars fired at the same time, and shells cut through the air and fell into the enemy camp with a sharp whistling sound.

"Boom!"

"Ah~"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

The sound of explosions echoed all around, followed by screams and the sounds of people falling to the ground.

In just one round of volleys, thousands of Arab soldiers were killed in the artillery fire.

Seeing this scene, Adlu's face was full of disbelief. How could the other party have such powerful artillery?

Not only Adlu, but all the other generals in the tent were stunned. This was too powerful. Thousands of people were killed in just one round.

"Send the order to speed up the charge. As long as we get close, the enemy artillery will be powerless against us."

After a brief shock, Adlu regained consciousness and ordered a charge again.

But he was wrong again.

The mortar's rate of fire is much faster than that of ordinary artillery, reaching 6 to 8 rounds per minute.

In one minute, the soldiers could only charge three or four hundred meters at most.

This distance was enough to inflict a devastating blow to the Arab army.

"Keep firing."

"Archers, shoot!"

Yue Fei gave the order again.

Mortar shells were fired from the barrel and hit the Arab army.

At the same time, dense arrows swept towards the Arab army like locusts.

"boom"

"puff"

"Bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang bang..."

For a moment, screams were heard everywhere and blood and flesh were flying everywhere.

The Arab army was unable to withstand the artillery attack and could only allow the artillery to destroy them, resulting in countless casualties.

"Retreat, retreat quickly."

Seeing this, Adelu hurriedly ordered a retreat.

Adlu now finally understood why the enemy dared to challenge him. It turned out that it was because they possessed these terrifying artillery pieces.

These artillery pieces are simply nightmare-like and cannot be matched at all.

Now he not only had to retreat, but also had to withdraw his troops immediately, because there was no way he could win this battle.

He knew even more clearly that if they could not find a way to restrain the enemy's artillery, or if the Arabs could also produce matching artillery, then the Arabs would inevitably perish.

Unfortunately, Adelu wanted to withdraw his troops, but Yue Fei would never give him this opportunity.
