"Array!"

Li Yan grinned, and then ordered loudly, and soon, the staff officers passed on his orders, and the entire army unfolded, changing formations. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

This is the only way to pass through Quanzhou, and the array here is just waiting for work.

Soon, the whole of a thousand people dispersed, forming a wide battle line, the battle line was very thin, there were only three rows, but the line was very wide, and at the back of the battle line were five mortars at a time.

Around, there are more than 100 cavalry waiting for them, and these are Li Yan's confidence in victory. Among the materials that came with the sea ships at the beginning, in addition to gunpowder projectiles, there were also older mortars, and Li Yan was also assigned five.

"First the mortar fired three rapid volleys, then the musketeers kept the line of battle steady and fired, and finally, depending on the extent of the enemy's rout, sent out cavalry to cut in. If the enemy is stubborn, form a hollow phalanx and fight a protracted battle around the mortar. ”

Being in the command position, Li Yan recalled these tactical points he had learned in the night class, and although he had extreme confidence in his heart, he couldn't help but get nervous.

This was the first time he had commanded a war, and he had only suppressed a small group of rebels before.

In his constant recollection, the enemy swept in like billowing smoke, not to mention anything else, this person is ten thousand, and the momentum brought by the boundless edge is really terrifying.

However, when the enemy really came, Li Yan calmed down and looked at the other party indifferently, and the scattered formation of the other party gave him infinite confidence.

"Haha, brothers, there are the defenders of Quanzhou in front, defeat them, and Quanzhou will be occupied by us."

"Pass my order, take Quanzhou, and plunder for three days!"

As soon as the order came out, the entire army roared with joy, even some pirate ronins, green light appeared in their eyes, and several Japanese ronin samurai screamed even more strangely.

They were brought in by the local gentry from Japan, hoping to use this brave spirit to break through the edge of the field army. During the Jiajing Dynasty, there were rumors that more than a dozen Japanese pirates chased thousands of Ming troops, and they have also been passed down to this day.

In an uproar, a group of people rushed to Li Yan, who was waiting for the battle, with the beautiful idea of plundering for three days.

"It's good to come." Seeing the other party's reckless action, Li Yan smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"Mortar, three rounds of rapid fire!"

As soon as the order fell, the gunners who had already adjusted the angle and calculated the distance immediately lit the fire door, boom! With a loud bang, the muzzles of the five mortars burst into flames, and then the asbestos-wrapped cylindrical shells flew out, smashing into the chaotic rebels with a sneering and burning seal.

Bang!

A violent explosion sounded, and iron pieces and nails flew everywhere, causing huge casualties, and for a while, the entire rebel army was full of mourning and severed limbs.

And this is not the end, the next two rounds of salvo fire, a total of fifteen shells burst out before and after, the rebels who exploded cried and cried for their mother, and the rebels who were originally divided into front and back were completely chaotic, and the subordinates could not find the generals, and the generals could not find their subordinates, and they ran around.

There are forward, backward, and both sides, they only wish that they had two less legs at the moment, and they can't care about anything else.

"Three rounds, shoot quickly!"

Seeing that the rebels did not have the slightest correct response, Li Yan immediately ordered the gunners to open fire, if the enemy army was routed from such a distance, it would be good without contact.

Rumble!

Another explosion sounded. But at this time, the commander of the left guard of Quanzhou finally reacted, "Cannon, it's a damn cannon, rush, rush over for me, don't run around." ”

Fortunately, he still has some prestige, and all departments are led by his cronies, and after fighting together, the entire army barely rushes forward.

Although the cannon was thinking and exploding, the people who were not blown up ignored it and rushed forward, many of them were guards or pirates, they still knew a little about the cannon, and knew that as long as they were close to it, the cannon would be useless.

"Do you think it's useful to come here, naïve!" Li Yan sneered, the artillery of the field army is the most advanced, the brackets are all made of steel, and there are scales on them, which can adjust the elevation angle and the distance of shooting at any time.

The running of the rebels is just a ridiculous struggle.

However, in Li Yan's opinion, this is a real combat drill, how could he just let the enemy be destroyed by artillery.

"Forward!"

After the explosion stopped, Li Yan immediately gave the order, and the battle line walked forward in unison, gradually shortening the distance between him and the rebels. With the two sides facing each other, the distance is rapidly shrinking.

"Stop!"

With more than a hundred meters to go, the battle line stopped.

"Shoot!"

After estimating the distance, Li Yan squinted his eyes, and then burst into a loud shout.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of muskets like fried beans rang out immediately, and after a volley of shots, the enemy who was running at the front immediately fell like wheat.

"Shoot quickly!"

Immediately, the line of battle began to rotate, and immediately after the first row of shots, crouched down to reload ammunition, and then got up to shoot, and the classic three-stage strike was repeated again.

After a few rounds of shooting, the enemy couldn't rush at all, and the most fierce Japanese ronin died directly in the first round of charge, and without them, the rebels behind had even less courage to rush over, and collapsed directly under the volley of muskets.

"Mortar, three rounds of rapid fire"

Li Yan gave the order at the right time.

"Cavalry sortie."

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded, although there were only a hundred cavalry, the momentum was no less than a thousand, the left hand was short, the right hand saber, the cavalry rushed directly like a tiger descending the mountain, cut melons and vegetables to break through the rebel brigade, and then kept cutting.

"The war is over." Seeing this, Li Yan relaxed his whole person, and only then did he feel a little cold on his back, and when he touched his hands, he was sweaty.

"Ha, I'm still inexperienced, and I'm still nervous like this in the face of this rabble." Li Yan laughed, relieving his nervousness.

In the battle, Li Yan, the acting head of the Yulin Army, broke 30,000 enemy troops with a thousand-man regiment, killed 3,000 enemies, captured more than 25,000 prisoners, and suffered ......... casualties Zero!

After this battle, Li Yanwei's fame spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and he became the most dazzling one among the rising stars after the eight hundred old men of Yulin.

After the Battle of Quanzhou by Li Yan, similar outnumbered battles broke out all over the country, all of which were exaggerated achievements of 1,200 officers and soldiers who broke through tens of thousands of enemy troops.

However, as exaggerated as Li Yan, there is still no. Throughout the second half of the year, the land of the Ming Dynasty was spent in such rumbling cannons, which lasted until the end of the year, and then gradually subsided. Then, the Ming Dynasty entered a period of stability, and the land reform and military reform work also cleared the obstacles, without the slightest difficulty.

The rest is just tedious paperwork.
