Liu Yan still underestimated the consequences of the appearance of gunpowder, the Murong Yan army that was left to block the Qiushui battlefield did not hold out for three days, and even failed to hold on for a morning, it was the time when the power of gunpowder was not known in the early stage.
Murong Yanjun was frightened by the new weapons, but the morale of the Han army was unprecedentedly high.
As Murong Yanjun, who was dealt with by gunpowder, they had an absolute reason to come to the fart, in addition to seeing the power of gunpowder, there was more of a despair of being abandoned by God in their hearts.
Think about it, people's fear of the unknown, repeatedly see that after the explosion of gunpowder, the person in the center is directly evaporated to the bones, and the person who is slightly close to the explosion is definitely crippled, and who will not collapse directly.
The Han army only knew after the gunpowder was applied, it turned out that there was such a sharp weapon on their side, and people who were superstitious directly thought that God was helping them, whether it was confidence in gunpowder or to get help from God, who would not be instantly demoralized, and no matter how timid people would face the outcome of victory, they would burst out with the courage to capture the dragon and slaughter the tiger.
With sharp weapons and the courage to face everything, the Han army no longer used gunpowder weapons in the back, and could directly run over Murong Yan's army, sweeping the defense line that Murong Ke had spent about a year hard to build at an unprecedented speed, and Ran Min even led the cavalry to pursue Murong Ke's headquarters who had not yet run far.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way" Although Li Mi is only a knight of the Han army, he thinks that he is a heavenly soldier at this moment, and he is only angry and not much joy in the face of the enemy army who surrenders on his knees: "Don't get in the way of Lao Tzu, roll to the side of the road and wait for the infantry army behind to come up and accept the surrender." ” I don't know if it's a dirt road on the main road, Murong Yanjun, who was originally staying on it, took the initiative to retreat to both sides with the arrival of the Han cavalry, and the people who were stunned in place would soon have flesh and blood with the earth.
Elephants never look at the ground of the road they walk on to see if there are ants, anyway, it is just a matter of stepping on one foot.
The strong rarely look at the ants that are not a threat to them, and if they feel unhappy, they must run over directly.
Now those Murong Yan soldiers who are full of fear are ants, and they are looking at the Han army like elephants with the mentality of ants, and they are afraid that any Han army will look at them, as if they will be crushed to death if they are looked at at a little.
Li Mi was not a man and a horseman, but he galloped with three thousand knights, and the one at the forefront was called Ran Min, who was a hussar general in the Han Kingdom.
The 40,000 Murong Yan troops who were left behind to block the Qiushui defense line, those who reacted quickly fled first, and those who reacted slowly were either killed or taken prisoner in the breakthrough of the Han army.
After the army lost its order, it was difficult to restore order in a short time even when the gods came, so they fled in fear, and then crowded on the main roads.
At that moment, anyone who stood in the way of their escape was an obstacle, and those who dared to shout and curse were indispensable to sharp blades, they were killing each other, the Han cavalry pursued them, and knelt and trembled in the sound of the Han army's horses' hooves.
The Zhu Long horse under Ran Min's crotch didn't know how many defeated soldiers were flying in the gallop all the way, and the horse's hooves were full of blood because they trampled too many people, and those were all defeated soldiers who didn't know how to avoid when they saw the arrival of the Han army's iron cavalry, and the Han army's iron cavalry was not likely to stop because there were defeated soldiers in front of them, so they naturally ran over directly.
Killing defeated soldiers will not have the slightest sense of accomplishment for Ran Min, so he didn't bother to wave his weapons all the way over, and the rest of the Han knights would not wield their blades if they were not handy, they had their own pride.
Murong Ke led the army to evacuate overnight last night, and the army of as many as 70,000 could not run far in a while, and the rear army that turned off was only five or six miles away from the defense line at the rear end of Qiushui.
The Murong Yan army that retreated from the Qiushui battlefield did not want to go to the Lishui defense line, although there was a fortified city called Lingzhicheng, but it was no longer important under the premise that Murong Yan was about to move the whole country, they were going to go all the way north.
So far, Murong Ke still doesn't know the movement of the battlefield on the northern front, let alone that there are already Han troops heading directly to Longcheng, and their motive for going north is because Murong Ke doesn't trust Tuoba Shi Yijian to hold out for how long, but he didn't think that Tuoba Shi Yijian would turn against the water.
"The Great Han wants to be invincible in the world, and comprehensively pit and kill the people in the northwest, I heard that three or four hundred thousand have been killed" Murong Ke of course rode on the back of a horse, and the speed of the horse was not too fast, but the horse speed was not too fast, just let the mount rush with a marathon-like jog: "The King of Han does not like foreign races, and the Great Han has a call for killing all foreign races, and Tuoba Shi Yijian will naturally weigh it." ” The Han Kingdom's extermination of the Qian people can be said to have shocked and frightened the alien races in the world.
So far, although the various tribes have been fighting endlessly, there has never been a case where any clan wants to completely destroy a certain race, and it is only a matter of enslaving the clan after defeat.
During the reign of the Jin people in the Central Plains, the Jin people were defined as inferior to the status of wild beasts, but they never thought of completely exterminating the Jin people in the Central Plains, which was to eliminate them to the greatest extent and become an absolute few, 1 number, 1 people, and 1 tribe, not to say that they would be completely killed.
The Hu people, who gradually accepted the Chinese culture, also accepted the concept of "fifty avenues, forty-nine Tianyan, and one of them", that is to say, the truth that everything cannot be done is no longer the mentality that you must kill all the enemies in the face of living in the grassland.
It's hard to say whether it's progress or degradation, it's just that.
Defeating a certain race and trampling under its feet and defeating a certain race and then completely exterminating, although a certain race is a loser, it can be a slave or a maid at least to live, and the national blood can survive, and the universal values of the winner is still acceptable.
But it's a bit desperate to be killed if you are defeated, but anyone who is not mentally retarded will resist to the death when there is no way to live.
Murong Ke didn't expect Tuoba Shi Yijian to turn against the water, because the Han Kingdom was really exterminating the Qi people, and from the perspective of a smart person, he imagined that Tuoba Shi Yijian would not be dizzy.
It was another cloudless sunny day, with a bird's-eye view from a high altitude, and several long dragons composed of soldiers and horses were stretched far away, just because there was no wind, and the flags in the team looked sluggish.
"An army of 40,000 should be able to support ten days and half a month or even more with fortifications, as long as the branch city is not lost, the Han army on the water side will not march westward."
Liu Xiang said with some confidence: "Even if the Han army knows that we are evacuating, they can't catch up when they can catch up." ” Liu Xiang was also riding a horse, but he was not wearing a military uniform, but a scribe's uniform.
When riding a horse, it is not beautiful to wear a loose scribe's clothes, especially when the sweat sticks to the clothes, he will twist his ass when he is uncomfortable, and he has to make a graceful posture, which looks extremely weird.
The army of 70,000 is really very long, and the troops at the front end are already nearly fifteen miles away from the Qiushui battlefield, and the troops at the end are only five or six miles, which means that the entire army is close to ten miles apart.
Murong Yanjun's withdrawn troops did not want to gather and march, mainly due to the restrictions of the terrain, after all, they had to be able to walk under their feet, and they had to go over the mountains and forests without walking, or they had the ability to tread water.
"When they reached the open field, the front army stopped advancing and buried the pot to cook, waiting for the troops behind to follow, and rested for half an hour before starting again."
Murong Ke was talking about entering the plain area, where there was an open area close to a hundred miles in circumference: "The people sent out have not yet returned."
"Not yet."
Liu Xiang said worriedly: "We also haven't received news from the northern line for two days. ” In the era of backward communications, it is normal to have no news for half a month apart, and it is only in that unknown sense of crisis that I feel that it is abnormal to have no news for two days, which shows how concerned Liu Xiang is about the northern line.
Murong Ke's handsome face had become extremely gloomy, and he glanced at the army and was about to say something, but a loud sound like rolling thunder came from afar.
There was not half a cloud in the sky, and the sounds, though far away, sounded small but connected, and the army in the middle of the road slowly stopped, and almost everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came from.
"Large force of cavalry" Murong Ke raised his eyes to see, although some of the vision was blocked, but if there was a large force of cavalry, it would still appear in the field of vision, at least he could see the dust and smoke from the cavalry galloping, the problem was that he didn't see it, so he was puzzled: "What caused the chain of sounds" Liu Xiang drove the war horse to the side and turned over, and lay on the ground regardless of whether his clothes would be dirty, while turning his head and saying to Murong Ke: "The ground is not shaking, not like the movement caused by cavalry. ” Murong Ke didn't know what gunpowder was, and he couldn't think of anything that could be heard other than lightning and thunder for more than ten miles, and frowned dissatisfiedly when he saw the army pause.
Naturally, someone would drive the soldiers back on their way, but everyone, including Murong Ke, was extremely curious about what caused the noise.
It didn't sound loud more than ten miles away, but it was louder when it was five or six miles away, resulting in Murong Yanjun, who was left behind, far more curious or panicked than those robes in front.
Soon after a series of noises, the evacuated troops began to resume their march, and about a quarter of an hour later, a group of routs on horseback appeared on the side of the Qiushui line, most of them looking frightened.
Cavalry appeared in the direction of Qiushui, and the evacuated Murong Yan army could not ignore it, and the generals of the palace urgently reported to Murong Ke on the one hand, and on the other hand, they called out some people to stop and prepare to meet the enemy.
Waiting for Murong Ke to receive the report, he learned that there were routs in the Qiushui defense line and escaped, and he was annoyed and confused.

"It's impossible for the Han army to break through the defense line in half a day."
Liu Xiang was in the happiness of ignorance, but he was somewhat shocked: "There should be a slave who is unwilling to die, snatching the horse and escaping" "If you are a smuggler, how dare you rush into the army" Murong Ke has been leading the troops to fight for many years, not a half-hung like Liu Xiang, but he has not yet learned the truth from the defeated soldiers, so he ordered: "The whole army is on standby" The commander had an order, and the order was repeatedly conveyed, and for a time there were people shouting "stay put" all over the mountains, and the troops naturally stopped abruptly from their normal march.
It didn't take long for the rout to be asked, but the violent explosion they were talking about was unimaginable to those who had not seen it with their own eyes, and they did not believe it because of ignorance.
"Hehehe" Liu Xiang belongs to the kind of people who can't imagine and don't believe: "I still call Shenlei because I'm afraid of making it up."
In the eyes of many people, where did the thunder come from, if the Han army could really call the divine thunder, it would be directly blown up with thunder in every battle, and it would be necessary to let the soldiers charge into battle Of course, Murong Ke didn't believe in calling Shenlei, he only knew one thing: "It's all my Murong clan who escaped, calling Shenlei may be false, and I don't dare to talk nonsense about the complete collapse of the defense line."
Liu Xiang was stunned, he was only thinking about whether the divine thunder was true just now, and didn't pay attention to the fact that the defense line had collapsed.
The rout of the Qiushui defense line is about a thousand, it is difficult to say that it can be controlled if it is controlled, the news of the collapse of the Qiushui defense line will spread out for a long time, and the Murong Yan army that is in the evacuation will begin to make a commotion.
Murong Ke's response was to prepare the whole army for war, and he did not refute the rumors, but to gather the troops in the fastest time.
"Whether it's true or not, deal with it first."
Liu Xiang was nervous to death, but he kept the greatest calm: "Although this is not a dangerous place, the road is narrow, and you can arrange a battle formation in the middle of the road to block the enemy." ” The surrounding terrain is a very common terrain, not steep mountains, but also not a flat river, which can be relied on by streams, mountain bags and woods, but there are no fortifications built in advance.
"Leave 5,000 infantry troops to defend in the open, and the rest of the infantry cavalry" Murong Ke has been staring at the direction of the Qiushui battlefield, and said with an unpredictable expression: "If there is really a rout over there, there will be a steady stream of routs fleeing, and the Han army will inevitably pursue the rout." ” Liu Xiang understood in seconds that no matter what happened to the Qiushui battlefield, they should at least stabilize first, if they heard a little movement and drove the soldiers to speed up, panic was very likely to occur in the suspicious atmosphere, and even let the panic turn into a riot, and that was the real bad at that time.
While Murong Ke was doing what he thought was the right response, the news about Ran Min leading the army to chase and kill was discovered.
At that moment, he was thinking about how to set a trap to swallow the three thousand Han cavalry, including Ran Min, but when he was thinking, he received a new report, saying that the scouts in front had made an urgent report and found an unknown number of Han troops.
"Impossible" Liu Xiang was full of disbelief: "It is already inconceivable that the Qiushui defense line collapsed in half a day, and it was also a temporary decision for us to evacuate overnight, and we didn't find that the Han army detoured to intercept before, how could it come out overnight" "There is still a possibility" Murong Ke's face was full of frost: "The Han army can break through the Qiushui defense line in half a day, and it can also defeat the Tuoba Shiyi Jian Department in an instant. ” Up to now, Murong Ke still doesn't think Tuoba Shiyijian will be backwater:
