The time for the decisive battle soon came. (http; //

At the fifth watch, the whole barracks came to life, noisy but not chaotic, everyone was dressed in order, and after eating the breakfast that the men had prepared all night, they returned to the barracks and waited for the order to set off.

The guards commanded Qiao Ju Kang Yan's camp and discussed the final details.

One by one, the sentries came in to report the latest enemy situation.

"Report, there is news from Zhennan Pass that the enemy army has all gotten up!"

"The enemy has had breakfast!"

"The enemy army is closing!"

"The enemy army is coming to the gate!"

"The enemy army has all left Zhennan Pass!"

"The enemy army has passed the summer stone!"

"The enemy army has passed Ningming!"

After learning that the enemy army had passed Ningming, Kang Yan immediately ordered the whole army to march.

The barracks moved, and the horses roared, so that the sound of the golden iron horse was overturned.

After a pillar of incense, the originally full military camp, only a very small number of people remained, and the others all bypassed Chongzuo and formed a formation in the south of Chongzuo to wait for the enemy.

The left flank is 5,000 Ningyuan iron cavalry, the right flank is a battalion of cavalry under my command, the front of the Chinese army is two infantry battalions, the rear column is two bow battalions, three firearms battalions and 5,000 Shenji battalions, and another cavalry battalion is in the rear guerrilla strategy for reserve use, Kang Yan, Zheng Haoliang, Wu Ruilin three people command the whole army on a small high ground in the rear of the Chinese army, and the three thousand guards are responsible for protection, and the total strength of our army on the battlefield is about 50,000 people.

As Kang Yan expected, the red sun was rising, the sun was flying all over the sky, and the army of 50,000 was bathed in the sun, like a mythical immortal, and an auspicious cloud flew above his head. Perhaps, this indicates that after this battle, the fallen soldiers will be sublimated and soar into immortals?

In the fields, none of the people who worked at sunrise on weekdays were gone, and everyone hid in Chongzuo City to avoid the disaster of war, and all kinds of crops in the fields were trampled into a mess of mud.

The Annamites didn't make us wait long.

In the mist in the distance, the vanguard of the Annamite slowly appeared.

Then, the large army of the Annamite slowly drove over.

The three armies lined up 800 paces in front of our formation. The strength of the Annamites was comparable to ours, also about 50,000 men, and they were mainly infantry and archers, with almost no cavalry. It can be seen that they are also well-trained elite soldiers, and 50,000 people are lined up in accordance with the pre-arranged formation without saying a word, and they are waiting for the enemy with a solemn face. Behind the army, dozens of horsemen galloped back and forth between the armies, as if passing military orders.

More than 100,000 people filled the ground like mercury for miles. The ordnance and armor shone in the sunlight, and there was a solemn and murderous atmosphere, and the thick killing machine made the birds flying overhead forget to cry in fear -- a great war was about to start.

In the rear, Kang Yanling unfurled the flag, the horn sounded, and the army began to move forward slowly. There was a deafening loud bang from General Zhankou and the Tiger Squat Cannon, and hundreds of projectiles were fired at the enemy at the same time, and in the face of the dense enemy troops, it could almost be said that there were no bullets.

Immediately, flesh and stumps flew in the enemy's ranks, and the sound of killing and crying rang out in unison. Although a solid bullet will not explode when it hits the human body, its huge impact force can break several or even dozens of people into two, and when a hollow charge projectile is fired into the ground, it will cause a huge explosion, and no one will survive within a radius of several zhang.

Almost at the same moment, the Annam people on the opposite side also launched. Although it was shelled, the military formation did not panic.

I looked at Luo Rou and said nothing.

The Annamite counterattack also began. In the rear of the military formation, countless projectiles suddenly shot out and shot at our troops. The projectiles left a long bloody path in our army.

In the short run, the second round of shelling was launched almost simultaneously, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer. During the second round of shelling, the five thunder god machines were also launched, and the huge bow and arrows knew at a glance that they could not be fired by manpower, and for a while, the arrows rained down on the enemy's array. This heavy bow and arrow, propelled by gunpowder, could pierce three people with a single arrow. However, it is extremely time-consuming to reload this kind of weapon, and generally in the field, they do not have a second chance to fire, because when they are reloaded, the soldiers on both sides are already glued together, and if they are fired again, it can be said that the threat to both the enemy and the enemy is the same. After the soldiers finished firing, they drew their steel knives and retreated to the artillery positions to strengthen the artillery defenses.

Two rounds of shelling, at least 5,000 casualties on both sides, the cruelty of the war can be seen. I have experienced several major battles, and I am no longer the same as I was when I suppressed bandits, and I seem to have been cold-blooded in the face of huge casualties.

A projectile landed right next to me, and the flesh and blood of more than a dozen horsemen and horses were blurred, and two seriously wounded and undead horses let out a burst of mournful screams.

I didn't fear for my own safety, though I was almost terrified when the shell fell, and it landed on Lorou's side. Don't turn your head in a hurry, fortunately, Luo Rou is safe and sound. At this time, Luo Rou also happened to turn her head to look at me, and when her eyes met, she showed a relieved smile.

Blood splattered all the soldiers around me, and I was splattered with blood.

The third round of shelling was fired again. After the cannon sounded, a horn sounded in the rear, and the Chinese infantry and archers squatted down in unison after hearing the order.

"Bump, bump, bump...... a long line of giant crutches and thunderbolts emitted a string of fire, and thousands of lead projectiles were shot against the scalps of the crouching soldiers and fired at the enemy troops. The enemy troops, although holding thick shields, were shot and killed in the hundreds.

The launch of the Kidnapper and Thunderbolt also showed that the distance between the two sides was only 400 steps.

A trumpet sounded, and the crouched soldiers fought, continuing to drive towards the enemy.

The fourth round of shelling began. After the shelling, it was still the rear army that sounded the trumpet, and the previous Chinese troops were ambushed, and the crutches and thunderbolts immediately opened fire.

By the time the Chinese army straightened up and marched forward, the distance between the two sides was close to the range of the archers.

It rained between the two armies, and people kept falling. The enemy was facing the sun, and although the morning sun was not dazzling, it still greatly affected their eyesight, and the accuracy of the bow and arrow was surprisingly poor, greatly reducing the threat to our army. Relative to the enemy, our army turned its back to the sun, and the sunlight illuminated the enemy on the opposite side clearly, and the bowstring sounded almost a hundred shots. I can't help but admire Kang Yan even more.

At this time, the two sides no longer advanced slowly, but spread their feet and charged the enemy with all their might, shouting and killing as if they wanted to drown out the earth-shattering cannons.

The speed of the cavalry on both flanks completely prevailed, and as soon as it was launched, it leaped out of the crowd and struck at both flanks of the enemy.

Zhang Gong shot an arrow at an Annan soldier who looked like an officer in front of him, and fired three arrows in succession, each arrow was sure to hit, and four enemy soldiers became the souls of my arrows.

I was so far away from the enemy that I could breathe so much that I put down my iron bow and took my iron gun, which pierced the chest of one of the enemy soldiers who rushed at me. Draw your neck sword with your left hand, and smash your sword with your right hand and sword with your left hand into the enemy's ranks.

The spear provoked, the spear stabbed the enemy's eyebrows, and penetrated the head, and the enemy's eyes were round, and he fell down with fear on his face.

Although there are enemies on all sides, with the cooperation of guns and swords, several enemy troops have come forward to besiege me, and I have stabbed them to death one by one.

When the enemy saw that I was fierce, he opened his bow and shot at me. After hearing the alarm, he didn't turn his head, raised his sword and cut the arrow in two.

Tiger Ben marksmanship is unfolded, if the tiger enters the flock, when the invincible might, collapse, point, wear, split, circle, pick, plate, fight, no one is a general, instantly, cheap more than ten people have become my gun under the soul.

When an enemy general saw that I was already arrogant, he slapped his horse and rushed towards me, slashing at the head with a saber in his hand, and screaming in a strange tone that he did not understand.

The knife is wrapped in a strong wind and slashes at me, this guy can be a general, he does have some ability, as far as the strength of this knife is concerned, if you are not a person in the martial arts, unless you are born with divine power, it will be difficult to resist.

But I'm a martial arts man, and I call myself a master. The spear saw that the blade of the knife smashed down violently, and this time it used the word breaker, even if the martial arts master was hit by me, he had to get rid of the blade.

The enemy general burst into a shout, gritted his teeth and grabbed the hilt of his sword, but he didn't let go of his weapon, and the tiger's mouth on both of his hands was shattered by my shot, and drops of blood fell to the ground.

This enemy general was known to be brave in the Annamite army, he had always been strong and did not pay attention to others, and now I just single-handedly shattered his hands into tears, which made him a little unbelievable.

I was about to make up for a shot at him, but three enemy soldiers came out of my left shield and right knife to kill me.

The three men, shielded themselves, swooped down before me and slashed at the horse's feet with their swords.

I can't help but wonder: "Do the Annanites also play this kind of ground knife?" ”

In fact, this is the method that infantry is used to deal with knights, the cavalry is fast and the people are low and the horses are high, it is very difficult for the infantry to directly cut the cavalry, but it is much easier to kill the cavalry after cutting the cavalry mount and turning the cavalry into infantry, and the cavalry lives in the north of the horse all the year round, they are more familiar with riding horses than walking, and once they leave the saddle, they tend to be in a mess.

The spear swept through the thousands of troops with one move, and an enemy soldier raised his shield to block, and with a "bump", the wooden shield was broken into several pieces, and the gun body did not stop, spurting blood from the mouth of the person and dying. The spear stretched out, and it was another trick of the green dragon probing claws, directly piercing through the shield and stabbing the enemy to death.

Before the iron spear could be retracted, the third enemy had already raised his sword and slashed into the horse's foot. The right foot flew up, and a heartwarming kick came out, hitting the left temple of the enemy, and the enemy spurted blood and fell forward.

After killing three people in the blink of an eye, the enemy general had regained his breath, and he seemed not to believe that he would lose in strength, and slashed at me with a beastly cry in his throat.

In order to convince him of death, I took a sharp breath of true breath and broke off with a cry: "Kill!" "Swing the iron spear with one hand.

The spear rained down like thunder on the head of the enemy general. The enemy general knew that he was not an opponent, but he still tried his best to resist with his sword.

"Dang", there was a loud bang, and the tip of the gun, which was not sharp, with the help of my strong internal force, actually cut off the blade of the knife three inches thick and three inches wide with one shot, and the gun momentum did not stop, and it slashed at the right shoulder of the enemy general. If he is struck, this shot is enough to turn him into a companion. I didn't want to see the internal organs flying, so the gun turned around and changed to a shot.

Stepping off the good horse could not resist the force of this thousand jun, the four hooves fell to the ground, and the enemy was shocked to death before he could scream.
