On the side of the Ma River, Ye Kai didn't know that Mo Guanfu had brought 30,000 pirates and Ruan Yue's 30,000 families to cut off his back route, and he was still commanding the army to besiege Ruan Hui.

This time Ruan Hui is different from before, last time by the Phu Ray River, Ye Kai only besieged Ruan Hui for one night, and forced Ruan Hui to break through.

But this time, Ruan Hue didn't know if she had taken the wrong medicine, and she resisted on the hills by the Ma River.

Since Nguyen Hue's army of the West Son was located near the hills, they occupied a favorable position, and the artillery bunkers on the mountains were repaired in advance, which were not easy to destroy, and the ordinary soldiers also repaired the breastwork.

This allows them to shoot at the Baath Army with only half of their bodies exposed, which greatly increases the difficulty of the Baath Army's attack.

What made Ye Kai even more troubled was that Ruan Hui also had a hired Portuguese artillery company in his hand, and these guys were pulling more than a dozen three-pounder field guns, which posed a big threat to the infantry of the Baxing Army line in formation.

Therefore, after besieging Nguyen Hue for six whole days, the revival army only occupied the first line of defense of the Tay Son army, forcing more than 7,000 people of the Tay Son army's front army to retreat to the hillside, narrowing the area of activity of the Tay Son army, and eating 1,500 of them.

The results of the battle were not good, and they also paid the price of more than 200 casualties, which can only be regarded as a crushing victory according to the number of people on both sides.

It seems that after the introduction of a large number of firearms and Portuguese instructors, the attack ability of the Xishan Army is not clear for the time being, but the ability to rely on fortifications to hold on has increased a lot.

Ye Kai is not having a good time here, and the Xishan Army is even more sad, although he has a large number of flintlock pistols to use.

But they lacked two key pieces of equipment, the Revival Flint rifled gun and the picric bomb, which were effective at killing more than two hundred and fifty meters!

Not only did they not have these two things, but neither did the Portuguese, who had helped Nguyen Hue a lot.

Alfredo, a Portuguese colonel officer of the Portuguese Macau government who was in charge of supporting Nguyen Hue, even began to write and draw in a small book.

In his eyes, the tactics of the Ye's revival army on the opposite side of the country first knocking out the enemy's artillery with precision mortars, and then using the chasseurs to snipe the line infantry without the protection of the artillery, and waiting until the enemy fell into chaos, used the grenadiers to rush to about 30 meters with death and then bombed indiscriminately was very successful.

With a small number of soldiers, they beat the Xishan army, which was also equipped with a large number of firearms, to the ground.

If it weren't for the hot-headed officers of that battalion yesterday who couldn't help but use line infantry to shoot at the line infantry behind the chest wall of the Xishan Army, the revival army on the opposite side could have taken the position of the front army of the Xishan Army at a smaller cost.

Colonel Alfredo, in his book, named this tactic the tactic of gnawing black bread, carefully, slowly, and little by little, gnawing off the difficult black bread.

It's a bit slower, but it's safe, and it's perfect for attacking defenders who don't have enough hunters.

By the way, the huntsman, Alfredo hastened to make a note again, he had a feeling that this rifled gun loaded with deerskin bullets would lead to a new military revolution!

Because he greatly improved the efficiency of the hunters, so that the hunters have changed from a type of troops that are still in the tentative stage to a must-have battlefield bloodletting weapon!

However, compared to these technological advances, he was even more surprised by the training level and the quality of the soldiers of the revival army on the other side.

Some of the regiments in this force had surpassed any of the troops of the Kingdom of Portugal in terms of combat effectiveness.

In this case, it is not known whether it would be wise for the kingdom to intervene in the war between the Renaissance Army and the West Hill Army. General Xavier was probably making a mistake, Alfredo thought.

At the same time, behind the hill, in the command tent of the Xishan Army, the air was frozen as if it could be seen.

Emperor Guangzhong Ruan Hui now looks to the right every day for a while, he is waiting for Mo Guan Fu to come with Ruan Yue's army, this Guangzhong Emperor who has been fighting for more than 20 years, now has a smell of defeat.

Because the army under his command was being defeated by the attack of the revival army, and he was full of 40,000 troops, surrounded by more than 30,000 people in the revival and attacking, which in itself was an extremely humiliating thing!

Moreover, the revival army on the opposite side has also learned wisely, they no longer launch battalion-level or even regiment-level attacks, but choose to use mortar cannons and rifled guns to constantly snipe the Xishan Army behind the breastwork.

Although the efficiency of this kind of attack is not high, and the Xishan Army will lose two or three hundred people in a day, but it is a great blow to morale!

It was too painful to be beaten just by standing and being beaten, but Mo Guanfu and the others did not come, and it was impossible for Ruan Hui to order the army to take the initiative.

If he chooses to attack, he will fall into the hands of the revival army on the other side.

They are now so patient to eat a little bit of the Xishan Army every day, just to force him to take the initiative, as long as the Xishan Army leaves the breastwork and bunker, it is not the opponent of the Revival Army at all.

Nguyen Hue's Tessy Portuguese instructor corps had reminded him that many of the soldiers of the Tay Son Army had not yet recovered from the last fiasco, and their desire to fight and morale were not as good as those of the other side.

If he makes a rash attack, it is likely that his soldiers will be scattered in the proximity of the enemy!

When was the most frightening time for soldiers to be shot in line?

It was not when the battle had already begun, and at that time, with the support of adrenaline, the scared soldiers were actually in the minority!

The most terrifying time is actually when you line up with guns to approach the enemy, and at this stage, it is easy for the poorly trained army to fire in advance when approaching, or even collapse directly!

The Xishan Army is now facing this kind of situation, so Ruan Hui can only defend to the death, and defend until Mo Guanfu and Ruan Yue's people come!

。。。。

"I don't understand! I don't understand! Ye Zhenwu shook his head and came to Ye Kai's camp.

"King, what do you think Ruan Hui is thinking?

What's the point of him sticking to this hillside like this?

This is not a famous city, if he doesn't come down and fight with us happily, it's just to let us spend more guns and bullets, sooner or later we will be beaten and collapsed, the famous Ruan Guangzhong, won't be so stupid, right? ”

After pacifying North Vietnam, the Ye family and other Chinese people in the four states of Nanyang that Ye Kai followed were not called Ye Kai chief, but followed the Yue people to call Ye Kai the king.

Ye Zhenwu had just replaced a battalion commander according to Ye Kai's order, this guy actually had a head on the Xishan Army on the hill, although he captured two positions, but he suffered almost sixty or seventy casualties, which made Ye Kai angry enough!

Listening to Ye Zhenwu's complaints, Ye Kai was also puzzled for a while, although he gnawed slowly now, he would be able to support Ruan Hui one day.

Just like Ye Zhenwu said, Ruan Hui's method looks like he is sending him to death, and it doesn't make any sense!

These days, he was afraid that Ruan Hui would have some tricks, so he sprinkled the two cavalry battalions in his hand twenty kilometers away, but he still didn't find anything, what was Ruan Hui doing?
