Iron Dynasty Chapter 662

Having lived his entire life on the steppe, Tengge'er had never witnessed such a terrifying scene.

In an instant, his spirit shattered, and he lost all will to fight. But just as they tried to turn back, countless cavalrymen wearing silver breastplates swarmed in from behind. The leader, wielding a saber like a sharp sword, plunged into the barbarian army, and battle cries immediately erupted all around.

Bai Mu looked at the barbarian army, now in disarray, his face lighting up with joy. He spurred his horse onward, rushing towards Tengge'er. If he could cut this man down beneath his horse in this battle, it would be another great merit.

"Kill! " With Qi Guangyi's army making their move, the morale of Bai Mu's soldiers was greatly bolstered. Qi Guangyi's surprise attack threw the barbarian army's formation into chaos in an instant.

Standing atop the cliff, Luo Xin observed the battle below. The barbarian army was now caught in a pincer attack, while the firearm soldiers continuously assaulted the middle of their formation, causing the barbarian army's ranks to completely break down. Huddled together, they were utterly unable to display their fighting strength. Their horses had panicked after hearing the cannons for the first time and became uncontrollable, and this sudden chaos caught the barbarian soldiers completely off guard.

Now, Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu were essentially fighting a bunch of headless chickens.

Carefully observing from the mountain with his telescope, Luo Xin's eyes lit up. In the center of the barbarian army, a figure who appeared to be a commander was directing the troops to adjust their formation. The soldiers around him quickly recovered, indicating the man's extremely high prestige within the army. He turned to a nearby artilleryman and said, "Order them to aim at the man in silver scale armor. Take him out. "

The man Luo Xin pointed at was precisely Tengge'er. He could never have imagined that the barbarian army, always unrivaled and sweeping all before them, would be ambushed here and beaten with no power to fight back.

He anxiously directed his troops to attack Bai Mu's army with all their might, attempting to open a breach, because the silver cavalry behind them were slaughtering his soldiers like devils, leaving them utterly incapable of resisting.

"Advance! " Tengge'er shouted again. Simultaneously, a series of continuous thunderous roars echoed. Tengge'er turned to look in the direction of the sound, only to see countless black projectiles flying directly towards him.

Tengge'er's heart nearly stopped beating, for the dense volley of shells left him no room to dodge, and their terrifying speed made evasion impossible.

In the last instant, Tengge'er only saw his body flung into the air, and the soldiers beside him were likewise blown flying, blood splattering everywhere. Then, he lost consciousness.

A single volley eliminated the barbarian general. Luo Xin continued to observe the subsequent situation. Sure enough, after the general's death, the barbarian army began to lose control. Seizing this opportunity, Luo Xin immediately shouted, "Your general is dead! Surrender quickly now! "

Hearing Luo Xin's shout, the cavalry in the valley echoed the cry: "Your general is dead! Surrender quickly now. . . "

"The general is dead! Surrender, surrender quickly! " More and more people joined the shouts, their voices reverberating through the valley.

Hearing this, not a single barbarian cavalryman surrendered, but these tens of thousands of men had lost all organization and were no match for the well-trained Qingzhou Army cavalry. Under the cannon bombardment and the two-pronged attack, they were quickly routed.

The cannon fire ceased. The battle had lasted a full six hours, from noon until dusk, and the barbarian cavalry was almost completely annihilated.

His body stained crimson with blood, Bai Mu dismounted, still clutching his saber. He said, "I wonder how General Lu is doing? Let's go back and see now. Perhaps they have already taken Qingzhou City. "

Nodding, Qi Guangyi and Luo Xin assembled their men and horses and raced towards Qingzhou City.

Inside Qingzhou City, chaos had already erupted. Lu Fei and Ye Qingyun, having gained the upper hand, didn't halt their advance. Instead, they pressed their attack directly towards the South Gate. Their goal was to lower the bridge in front of the gate, which would allow the army outside the city to enter.

However, the closer they got to the South Gate, the greater the resistance they encountered. They had now realized that this army was not the Qingzhou Army, but the King of Liang's Imperial Guard.

Although these Imperial Guards fought without fear of death, they steadily retreated under the muzzles of the firearms. After several hours of fierce fighting, as darkness fell, the two generals finally led their soldiers to secure the South Gate.

At this point, Lu Fei immediately ordered his soldiers to lower the city gate.

Within the Imperial Guard, the King of Liang watched all this, throwing a thunderous tantrum. His most elite Imperial Guard had still not even been able to get close to this army.

As he fumed with anger, he saw that after the wooden bridge was lowered, some soldiers immediately carried strange weapons into the city.

Before he could even react, colossal explosions suddenly boomed and roared. Then, he saw his soldiers in pale green smoke, blood splattering as they were torn apart.

From the city wall, Lu Fei watched the King of Liang's army being shelled. He had to admit that this Imperial Guard was indeed fierce and formidable. It was just a pity they had encountered the Qingzhou Army.

"Ye Qingyun, take five thousand men and flank them, cutting off their retreat. The King of Liang seems to be among the army; we cannot let him escape," Lu Fei ordered.

Receiving the order, Ye Qingyun nodded. He led his army, circling the battlefield, and advanced rapidly towards the King of Liang's rear.

By this time, the King of Liang and his Imperial Guard were already shell-shocked by the exploding shells.

Just then, Ye Qingyun, having flanked them, led his soldiers in an attack.

"Bang, bang. . . " Dense gunfire erupted. More of the King of Liang's soldiers fell in pools of blood before they even realized what was happening, while the King of Liang himself was scared stiff, standing frozen in place.

"Your Highness, let's go. If we don't go now, it will be too late," a general rushed to the King of Liang, his face entirely streaked with blood.

"What's going on? What's going on? " The King of Liang mumbled nervously to himself. In his eyes, soldiers fell one by one, yet he couldn't see the enemy. The screams and the sight of shattered flesh and blood around him made him feel as if he were in hell itself.

Seeing the King of Liang in such a state, the general could no longer care about anything else. He grabbed him and ran eastward. By now, the King of Liang's army had no semblance of order; everyone was scared out of their wits by this bizarre method of death.

"Advance, fire at will! " The earlier attacks had already caused the King of Liang's army to lose more than half their numbers. Lu Fei seized the opportunity and ordered his soldiers to begin a proactive attack.

Following his command, the soldiers roared and charged out.

At this moment, the King of Liang's soldiers finally understood that they had no hope of winning, and this only intensified their fear.

Just as the general led the King of Liang in a desperate flight, the rumbling of hooves echoed as Bai Mu and Qi Guangyi led their cavalry, surging swiftly into Qingzhou City.

They had waited a long time for this day, for the taking of Qingzhou, and now they would not allow the King of Liang to escape again.

With a wolf in front and a tiger behind, the King of Liang and his general instantly realized that there was nowhere left to escape.
