Chapter 677 The Emperor's Mind [1 More]

Faced with such a situation, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty still rushed forward fearlessly. The group of people in front were all killed in battle, and the group of people in the back picked up the shields in front and continued to charge.

"Madman, it's all a group of madmen. I'll send me the artillery, bombard me hard, and shoot all the shells out."

Donald and others watched the Qin army in front of him pressing up in a desperate situation, wave after wave. Even if many people fell, the soldiers behind continued to rush forward. Donald and others were shocked by only watching such a scene.

The number of troops on both sides was about twice the difference. Although one of the coalition forces had the advantage of firearms, the situation now made Donald and others sweat. It was so scary. The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were still moving forward in the face of bullets.

The cannons roared again, but this time the coalition forces took great risks and blasted the cannons at the frontier positions.

You should know that even if these artillery soldiers have good skills, errors will occur at any time, so the shells soon fell into the coalition forces.

More than a dozen or twenty coalition soldiers were directly blown away by artillery shells, causing a brief chaos. Fortunately, the officers in the coalition were of good quality, so they quickly suppressed the chaos and added the troops to block the gap.

The series of impacts lasted for almost an hour, and suddenly the First Emperor gave the order.

As the sound of gold sounded, the Qin army, which was originally slapped at the coalition forces, retreated instantly, with the rapid speed that made the coalition forces react for a while.

If the coalition forces took the opportunity to charge for a while at this time, it might cause some damage to the retreating army, but it was too late to react after Donald and the others realized it.

More importantly, the fierce and fearless behavior of the Great Qin army really suppressed the coalition forces. They were rushed to the coalition forces several times, and many coalition soldiers were even killed. If the officers in the coalition forces had not hesitated to shoot and kill several soldiers trying to escape and suppressed the coalition forces' panic, perhaps the coalition forces had been dispersed at this time.

The army withdrew its troops, and soon there was only a piece of corpse left on the battlefield.

At first glance, there were the corpses of the Great Qin soldiers wearing black armor everywhere. In just over an hour of charge, almost tens of thousands of people were buried here forever.

Compared with the losses of the Qin side, the losses of the coalition side were not small, and almost a thousand elite musketeers were killed.

There seemed to be not many a thousand people, but the ones who died in battle were the most elite musketeers. The more than a thousand musketeers were killed, which directly reduced the coalition's combat power by about 20%.

After all, as a coalition soldiers who were defending the front steadily against the impact of the Qin army, they must be elite enough. Otherwise, if it were ordinary soldiers, they would probably not be able to withstand the impact of the charge momentum of the Qin army.

Seeing the Qin side retreating, even Donald and others had a tacit understanding and did not propose to take the opportunity to pursue. It was really shocking. The Qin side had left a deep impression on them before the situation of the Qin side attacking the coalition army.

Donald put down the telescope in his hand, took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, we have won. Come with me to express my condolences to the brave soldiers."

Not to mention Donald and others going to boost morale, the First Emperor ordered the Jin to withdraw the troops, and the generals led the troops to retreat. Although the army was a little confused, it did not completely lose control and soon restored order.

A group of civil and military officials gathered next to the First Emperor. Everyone clearly saw the scene of the army attacking the coalition army before they rushed forward. Teams of soldiers rushed forward and were shot by muskets before they even approached the opponent's army. The scene was so shocking.

Many of these civil and military officials have never been exposed to firearms. In their minds, the way of war is still the confrontation in the era of cold weapons, and everyone fights with swords and guns.

But when they saw the terrifying lethality of cannons and the rain of bullets, these people were greatly shocked.

Even the First Emperor had seen such a large-scale firearm battle scene. Although he had realized that firearms would become the mainstream and cold weapons would gradually withdraw from the mainstream of the times, when he really saw the lethality brought by the concentrated use of cannons and muskets, the First Emperor made up his mind to build an elite firearm unit in any case, and even the Qin army would be completely firearmed in the future.

Not to mention the impact this battle had on the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty and even the First Emperor, but after the generals returned, everyone found that the figures of several generals disappeared.

Needless to say, these people were afraid that they would die on the battlefield in the battle just now, and there would be more dangers.

The First Emperor sat there, with the civil and military officials below all looked a little confused on their faces, and everyone was wondering how to deal with the coalition forces next.

If you don’t find a way to solve the problem of firearms, depending on this situation, I don’t know how many lives it will take to break through the coalition’s musket formation.

But what's the use of breaking out of the military formation after paying a heavy price? You must know that even if the military formation is broken out, if the loss of troops on the Qin side is too heavy, then there will be no way to defeat the coalition forces.

The First Emperor waved his hand and said to the civil and military officials: "Go and rest, please think about it carefully. Once you encounter such a firearm unit, what should we do if we confront you?"

The civil and military officials slowly retreated, leaving only the First Emperor, Fang Xiaoyu and several servants in the camp.

Fang Xiaoyu seemed very calm, just sat there leisurely. At this moment, he looked up at the First Emperor and said, "Are your Majesty ready to use the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Immortal Legion?"

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the First Emperor and said, "I can't afford to lose. The one who went with me this time is already the last elite that the Qin Dynasty can gather. If it is all lost here, the situation in the world that has just stabilized will change."

Fang Xiaoyu nodded slightly and said, "These military horses will definitely clearly realize the power of firearms after the previous battle. Your Majesty's move seems a little ruthless, but it has laid the foundation for the future implementation of firearms in the army."

The First Emperor glanced at Fang Xiaoyu, and indeed his plan could not be hidden from Fang Xiaoyu. With the First Emperor's mind, why didn't the previous battle be avoided, at least it would not be so heavy. However, the First Emperor ordered a slightly unreasonable order to rush forward.

As a result, the army suffered nearly ten thousand casualties, which almost caused the army to get hurt. However, in the eyes of the First Emperor, although these losses were a little bigger, they were worth it.

Even though he was as strong as the First Emperor, he had just taken charge of the world and wanted to promote firearms in the army and reform the army, he was boycotted by a group of generals in the army.

Although these generals in the army did not directly oppose it, they boycotted through various means, making it impossible for the First Emperor to carry out military reforms.

Of course, this kind of thing is not difficult for a heroic king like the First Emperor, but the First Emperor was born too late. If you give the First Emperor another three to five years, I believe that with his means, the Qin Dynasty could definitely be made into an iron barrel. No one in the court dared to disobey his thoughts. However, at this time when the old and new were alternating, even though the First Emperor discovered a lot of talents, the civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty were still the mainstream among the civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty.

If you kill someone, the First Emperor is never ruthless, but if you really kill all the civil and military officials in the court, you are afraid that the world will no longer be owned by the First Emperor.

During this trip, Emperor Shi brought the stubborn generals in the army. During the previous war, the generals in the army who resisted the reform tried to show their bravery to prove to Emperor Shin Emperor that the Qin army did not need to be reformed at all.

As a result, almost 80% of the generals who rushed to the front died in the rain of bullets of artillery and muskets.

It can be said that during the battle, the opposition voices in the army were suddenly eliminated as many as 600% of them. Even the remaining generals, I believe that after this incident, they will definitely not oppose the reform.

Fang Xiaoyu could only admire the methods of the First Emperor. It is said that the First Emperor's tyranny is not without reason. At least in this way, ordinary people will never make such a decision.

Of course, if it were Fang Xiaoyu, Fang Xiaoyu would probably have made the same choice as the First Emperor.

It is impossible to become an emperor who surpasses the clan and surpasses the ancestors, without the courage to break the rules.

The First Emperor unified the six kingdoms and died directly and indirectly at the hands of the Qin army.

Emperor Wu of Han exhausted his power for several generations and almost exhausted the national treasury and lost countless deaths to fight against the Huns. He fought a huge Hun Empire for hundreds of years but failed to turn over.

Emperor Taizong of Tang forced his father to kill his brother, but brought about the Zhenguan rule that shone in history and was respected as the Khan of Heaven.

The sky gradually faded, and Fang Xiaoyu and the First Emperor turned into two phantoms and disappeared. When they appeared again, they had already appeared outside the coalition camp.

Looking at the coalition camp ahead, Fang Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with a strange look.

The evil energy surged over the army formation, which made him feel a faint sense of pressure. He subconsciously mobilized his magic power in his body, and suddenly felt a sense of stagnation.

The reason why the two did not sneak into the coalition camp directly by earth escape was because they could not quietly escape into it under the influence of the evil aura of the military formation.

A strong army that can condense evil spirits into a whole will inevitably form a certain degree of suppression of Taoism. Fang Xiaoyu had a vague awareness of this before, but in the past, Fang Xiaoyu's Taoist cultivation was just just beginning, and he did not have a clear feeling. However, Fang Xiaoyu's Taoist cultivation is not the same as before, and he can fully feel that kind of suppression.
