At dusk, the sunset is like blood. The afterglow of the sunset falls on the battlefield beside Baishui Lake, reflecting an extremely tragic scene, with layers of corpses and dried blood everywhere. The 100,000 troops fighting here during the day have retreated like a tide, leaving behind the corpse mountains full of blood, covered with scorched earth and white ground. The dense burst of broken guns and disabled swords and arrows spread more than ten miles away, filled with the cruelty of war.

At this time, the Qin army camp was a sea of ​​jubilation. From the trenches in front of the formation to the camp within the gate, groups of soldiers who were sweating all over their bodies were cheering: "Long live, long live! Long live the King of Qin!" The soldiers burst into tears in excitement, and even roared to the sky. From east to west, from south to north, there were waving flags everywhere, and the proud cheers of Qin artillery soldiers everywhere.

Regardless of the general or private, no matter what level, no matter what kind of rank, no matter how the Fan Han, everyone's mood is the same at this moment. Whether they know each other or not, people patted each other's shoulders, hugged each other vigorously, and cheered. The wave of cheers rose and fell. As long as one person started, there were dozens and hundreds of people who cheered spontaneously.

With just 20,000 people and nearly half-new troops, the united soldiers, village soldiers and other troops, they not only blocked the fierce attack of the 70,000 fierce soldiers of the Hu people, but also achieved an unprecedented victory. They won an unimaginable huge victory with losses far beyond everyone's expectations.

This was also the most dazzling and proud day for the artillery troops. They had less than ten battalions of artillery, but they directly smashed the entire 30,000 fierce Hu troops. Although the heavy cavalry of the Heavy Black Flag Army, which finally caused a blow to the Hu people was the heavy cavalry of the Heavy Black Flag Army, and the victory was the 5,000 light cavalry that subsequently attacked, no one could deny that today's victory, a major victory of defeating the Hu army was directly defeated by the Heavy Black Flag Army, which was the most dazzling existence in this battle.

The artillery can finally proudly raise their chests and look up to everyone and face other branches of the army proudly. From then on, who dares to say that artillery is just auxiliary soldiers, and who dares to say that artillery can only fight and cooperate?

The Qin Fan's artillery troops will truly become famous all over the world from today.

One thousand five hundred flying thunder cannons, 300,000 flying thunderbolts, cluster artillery bombardment, firepower coverage, barrage attacks, 30,000 Hu people were scared. The fierce tribal warriors seized the soul.

The soldiers of the Black Flag Army were also very excited. They raised their troops for a thousand days and used their troops for a while. When the heavy cavalry came out, the momentum was really amazing. Especially they already knew that the Black Flag Army would be upgraded to the Black Flag Army from today. It turned out that the heavy cavalry in the army would also be expanded into the Dragon Cavalry alone. This is good news for all the soldiers of the Black Flag Army to be excited and excited. The army was promoted to the corps, and the army leader Li Cunxiao was officially promoted to the commander of the army. In this way, although most of the commanders at all levels of the new army, which would be under the jurisdiction of ten armies, would be transferred from each army to the core. After all, the Black Flag Army was formed with the Black Flag Army as the core, and the original Black Flag Army was from top to bottom. Almost all the soldiers ushered in the lucky thing of overall promotion.

The captured Hu military flags were thrown to the ground one by one, and everyone was excitedly trampled on them, and then hung in front of the camp as an exhibition. After the troops were in the future, these flags would be included in the glory rooms of each army to exhibit.

Looking at the joyful figures, Gongsun Lan couldn't help but burst into tears. All her worries turned into excitement at this time. The man beside her could always make her look up to her.

"We won, we won!" Li Jing couldn't help but feel excited. He secretly clamped his hands tightly. This victory even exceeded his expectations. He did not expect that the black gunpowder weapon, which is not powerful, could actually achieve such a victory in this battle. The first large-scale cluster application, the Hu people's carelessness in underestimating the enemy, and the combination of various factors, finally made the artillery play an unprecedented role. The artillery and their firearms were used to the extreme in this battle.

"Let the soldiers accompany the army seek help from the wounded immediately, send the soldiers to talk to the soldiers, soothe the soldiers' hearts after the war, send the soldiers' monks to follow them to clean the battlefield, recite scriptures and save the soldiers who died in battle, and let the heroic and sacrificed warriors return to their hometown!"

The establishment of monks and Taoist priests who followed the army was also a new system of the Qin army recently. Li Jing did not agree with the matter of Buddhism and Taoism. However, he did not blindly oppose it. If the Buddhist and Taoism were well guided, it could still play a very positive role. However, what is needed is control, otherwise, the Buddhist and Taoism is too powerful, which is a harm to the world. In recent years, Li Jing has always been publicly supporting Taoism on the surface, but in fact, he has been secretly strengthening his control over them.

Now in the Qin vassal state, there are special institutions to control Buddhism and Taoism to prevent their power from expanding too much. Their land is also greatly restricted and they have to pay taxes. In addition to controlling the number of temples, the number of monks and Taoists who ordained monks and Taoists who occupy monks, and the amount of land occupied by temples and Taoists, and prohibiting them from slaughtering slaves, Li Jing also stipulated that they should pay taxes for the old seal, and that monks and Taoists must obtain the official approval of the Qin vassal state. In addition, although they do not need to serve in the military, they need to send monks and Taoists to join the army and be monks and Taoists. These monks who accompany the army can go to the battlefield like Taoists, but their mission on the battlefield is not to fight and kill enemies. But they have special functions like doctors.

In the army, monks and Taoist priests were actually equivalent to the role of the priests and psychologists in later generations of Western languages, and they were responsible for the storage of corpses of soldiers who died in battle, burning ashes to salvation and other matters after the war. These monks and Taoist priests followed the army, and the doctrines and scriptures they promoted were also strictly required. Facts have proved that getting a group of monks and Taoist priests to accompany the army still had a great comforting effect on the soldiers who fought hard.

When the cavalry returned, the sun had already set.

The soldiers in the camp rushed to the camp gate to greet the warriors today.

When the heavy cavalry returned, they were already quite tired. They were wearing heavy armor and charged on the horse's back. The explosion in a short time had overdrawn a lot of energy. Now that the momentum passed, they suddenly felt a little exhausted. Some soldiers were even so tired that they couldn't lift their arms, so tired that they couldn't get off the horse, so tired that they couldn't even remove the thick armor on their bodies.

Those best war horses were also extremely tired at this time. The horses were panting and shaking.

The soldiers had already greeted them, helped them remove the armor soaked in blood and sweat, and handed them cold water and towels.

Li Cunxiao, who was extremely dazzling on the battlefield today, was not much better than others. Although he was brave, he was always at the forefront when charging and took on heavier pressure. Under the help of several soldiers, he lowered his iron armor, took off his bucket helmet, and exposed his extremely tired face.

"Are you injured?" Li Jing asked with concern.

"No, it's just a little hot. Although the armor is strong, it's really too stuffy. People are almost simmering." Li Cunxiao smiled. Although there were no piercing injuries or piercing injuries on his body, there were many places that were hurt severely, mostly by blunt objects, but he covered the pain with his smile: "His highness promised me, do you count it?"

"From now on, I officially promoted you to the commander of the Black Flag Legion, and you were promoted to the Duke of Huaian County!"

"Thank you for the reward of King Qin!" Li Cunxiao knelt on one knee and said loudly, his tone was full of excitement. Among the disciples of the King of Qin, they were originally marquis, but only Liu Xun won the last victory in Jincheng and was promoted to the commander of the Wansheng Legion and the Duke of Yingcheng County of Jin. Now he has also jumped to the commander of the county. The commander of the army, and this glory is unparalleled.

"Your Highness, I am willing to lead the Black Flag Army to attack Hu Camp at night tonight and defeat the thief in one fell swoop!" Li Cunxiao, who had just become the commander of the army, was much more energetic and asked for battle loudly.

Li Jing shook his head: "You go and have a rest first, and come to the tent to discuss matters later."

As the dusk became darker, the Qin army camp began to light up the entire camp and the 100 steps ahead to prevent the Hu people from coming.

In the central army tent, Li Jing held a teacup and gently blew away the tea leaves floating on the water. Then he took a big sip and raised his head, "Have the Advisory Office counted the numbers?"

Li Liang stood up to report that he was holding a stack of white paper in his hand, all of which were the numbers just counted by the staff officers of the Staff Office.

"Today's battle, unexpectedly, we won a great victory with 20,000 to 70,000. This is the hard work of the Qin King's command and the soldiers. Here, I want to congratulate the King of Qin and the generals. The results just counted, our army suffered a total of 837 deaths in battle today, including 370 heavy cavalrymen, and none of the artillery soldiers who held the position were injured or killed. In addition, more than 500 seriously injured, the medical battalion is under efforts to treat it. It is estimated that more than 100 people can return to the army, and more than 100 people can survive, but they will be disabled and can only be discharged from the army in the future. The remaining half may be difficult to save."

Li Jing listened silently that the heavy cavalry suffered heavy casualties. Two thousand heavy cavalry attacked, nearly 400 were killed in battle, and more than 100 were seriously injured. After this battle, the heavy cavalry directly reduced one battalion.

However, this huge damage is still worth it. Because the results achieved today are amazing.

In this battle, the tribal coalition forces directly annihilated reached nearly 20,000, and almost no prisoners were captured. When the Hu people retreated, they did not take away the seriously injured. Under the circumstances, serious injuries were equivalent to death. The Qin army did not spend wealthy medicinal materials and manpower to rescue these seriously injured, and directly repaired the knife. Almost all the minor injuries fled back, but in the end, the Qin army's results were still huge. Less than 2,000 casualties were exchanged for nearly 20,000 enemy troops to reduce their troops.

Li Cunxiao and others were very happy and shouted that they could be wiped out in one fell swoop when they waited for the Hu people tomorrow, without even waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

However, Li Jing was not so optimistic. He said to Li Liang: "How much ammunition do we have?"

This is a key issue. In today's battle, the fierce shelling was indeed effective, but Li Jing knew that these were all gains from saturation coverage. The better the artillery achieved, the more ammunition they used.

Li Liang smiled bitterly helplessly, "I was about to report to the King of Qin that in the battle today, we used up a total of 350,000 kilograms of ammunition."

Li Jing couldn't help but shook his head. The consumption was indeed too great. Li Cunxiao didn't understand the meaning of the number 350,000 jin, and said loudly: "This time we brought a lot of gunpowder. We just shot for half a while today. We should still have a lot of inventory, right?"

Although other generals felt that the shelling was very fierce today and should have used a lot of gunpowder, they also felt that there were still many in the army.

Li Liang smacked his lips, "We still have 100,000 kilograms of gunpowder!"

"100,000 jin? It's a lot." Li Cunxiao murmured.

Gongsun Lan, who was standing by, gave him a blank look, "I have used 350,000 kilograms of gunpowder today, and the remaining 100,000 kilograms are indeed a lot. But in fact, it is only less than one-third of the amount of today's artillery fire. It would be difficult to think that thousands of cannons will be fired together like today."

"It's impossible. We bring so much gunpowder and it will be exhausted in one day?" Li Cunxiao was a little disbelief.

"A total of 500,000 kilograms were brought in total, which was half of the problem of our Qin vassal production over the years. The gunpowder produced in these years was pulled into the hands of the garrisons in various places. Most of the remaining stocks have been emptied this time. Most of them were transferred to the five legions of the Northeast Battle. The remaining small part was taken to Yunzhou by Marshal Zhang's Western Expedition Corps last time, and the remaining 500,000 kilograms were taken away this time. Today, 350,000 kilograms were used, and there were still 100,000 kilograms in the camp, and the remaining 500,000 kilograms were left in the hands of the four vassal troops on the periphery." Li Liang explained carefully.

Although I have been fully produced for several years, I have used up half of it almost a day. It sounds a bit unbelievable, but it is a fact.

For a moment, everyone was still unaware of it.

I just witnessed the huge pressure of artillery fire, but in a blink of an eye, this killer weapon has failed. This is indeed a depressing thing. And when I realized that the inventory of gunpowder was less than one-third used today, everyone couldn't help but worry that if the Hu people attacked again, I'm afraid there would be some trouble next.

"Your Highness, immediately order the four groups of troops to surround them. Without artillery fire, it is a bit too risky to rely on a small village and a few trenches on this plain outside the border. "Zhang Chengye raised his concerns again and persuaded him.

Without sufficient artillery fire support, in this place without any danger, it will take at least three days to wait for the other reinforcements to arrive. Three days is too long. Three days is enough for the Hu people to launch several major offensives. Li Jing had to consider again whether his persistence was correct?

After pondering for a long time, he shook his head.

"Now we call reinforcements, will we give up halfway through our previous efforts?" At this point, Li Jing's eyes flashed with decisiveness and determination, "Yesterday we were not afraid of the 70,000 Hu people. Today, we annihilated 20,000 Hu people, but only reduced the number of troops by 20,000. The Hu people were only 50,000, but we still had about 20,000. What's more, now that the Hu people are newly defeated and we are new to win, what reason do we have to be afraid instead?"

"Tell the soldiers that they will hold on for another three days. After three days, reinforcements will join forces to encircle them, and we will wipe out the remaining 50,000 captives in one fell swoop!"
