Last night, when Xiao Yao led the musket battalion and the cavalry battalion to rush ahead, the artillery battalion dragging cannons and pulling carriages was still moving slowly behind, so the distance between them and Xiao Yao had been opened for more than fifty miles! Xiao Yao, who rushed to rescue Xiao Moke, forgot that he didn't pick up the end, which was a taboo for soldiers!

In the dead of night, in the camp where the artillery camp was camped, Zhang Dabao used the excuse of needing to show Xiao Yao to Li Nong for the task of night patrol, and then took a patrol team of more than ten Rao into a forest near the camp, and then there was a commotion in the woods, and soon after, Zhang Dabao took the patrol out of the woods again, but the soldiers of this patrol team had been replaced by others!

"I really didn't expect your Chen Jun's paper armor to be so lightweight, and its defensive ability is not bad, and the style is quite suitable!" A soldier behind Zhang Dabao was looking up and down at the paper armor he was wearing and exclaimed.

"These are all specially made for the Forward Brigade in the paper mill of the General Comptoir, and they are made of the best materials! Don't talk about it, Lord Lieutenant! The heart is seen through by others! Zhang Dabao said.

This soldier who followed Zhang Dabao was none other than Wei Xiangyuan! With Zhang Dabao's cooperation, in the woods just now, the people brought by Wei Xiangyuan sneaked up on this patrol group, then changed into their clothes, followed Zhang Dabao, and smoothly mixed into the artillery battalion!

"What does Gao Changgong mean, I will pass on the information to you in detail, why do you still want to get involved! Fortunately, Xiao Yao has taken over the forward brigade recently, and the number of people has increased suddenly, and everyone is not very familiar with each other, otherwise someone will find out that you are mixed in, then we will die together! Zhang Dabao said fiercely.

"Zhang Gongzi, you should pay attention to your words in the future, and respect the prince! Because after Ming, the prince will be your lord! Dare to be disrespectful to the lord, heart your head! Yu Xiangyuan also said fiercely.

"You, what do you mean by that? Why did Gao Changgong become my lord? Zhang Dabao asked in shock.

"Because this time we are here, we are going to kill Xiao Yao and this artillery battalion! The prince has already led an army of 30,000 to deal with you, of which 10,000 elite soldiers will be ambushed in the valley in front to deal with Xiao Yao, who has no artillery battalion, and the prince will personally lead 20,000 elite soldiers to kill this artillery battalion! So as soon as the Ming Dynasty passes, there will be no Xiao Shilang and this forward brigade in the world! If it weren't for the fact that you have done such a great contribution for us, the prince would not have been merciful enough to accept you as a subordinate, what? If you don't want to, we can just take you out when we kill the fire and artillery battalion, so that you can also have a good reputation for sacrificing your life for the country! Wei Xiangyuan scoffed.

"What? You, you want to attack us? No way! Although 20,000 elite soldiers may sound like a lot, it is worth mentioning in front of the artillery battalion, as long as we keep firing and cooperate with the two sub-mother cannons to form a cross-fire network, your 20,000 people rushing up will simply be sending them to death! Zhang Dabao pretended to be calm and authentic.

"Hey, that's why we're here! Do you think we're taking such a big risk and infiltrating the artillery battalion just to take you away? That's what we're trying to do! As long as we burn it all, your artillery won't be able to exert that kind of terrifying lethality! Wei Xiangyuan sneered.

"You are so vicious! However, the ammunition and materials are all heavily guarded, and you can't get close at all! Don't burn them! Zhang Dabao retorted.

"If you don't be vicious, how can you deal with you! And we have our own way of burning them, provided you cooperate with us, of course! Don't talk nonsense, call all your trustworthy subordinates, and let them take us to find out where your gunpowder is stored and how many guards there are! Yu Xiangyuan said fiercely.

。。。。。。

When Xiao Shilian successfully broke through from Linying County and found the forward brigade, he also brought Wei Xiangyuan, who was following him, to the position of the forward brigade, so Wei Xiangyuan immediately sent someone back to inform Gao Changgong!

After getting the marching route of the forward brigade, Gao Changgong immediately drew 10,000 soldiers and horses from the 20,000 elite soldiers who surrounded Linying County, and then ordered the 20,000 defenders stationed in Yingchuan County to quickly leave the city and come to meet him, so Gao Changgong personally led 30,000 elite soldiers to deal with Xiao Yao's forward brigade!

Later, according to the plan, Xiao Shilian repeatedly urged Xiao Yao to hurry as soon as possible and go to rescue Xiao Moke, causing him to act separately from the artillery battalion, Gao Changgong also sent 10,000 elite soldiers to ambush Xiao Yao in the valley according to the plan, and he personally led the remaining 20,000 elite soldiers to the camp of the artillery battalion, and quietly surrounded the artillery battalion!

Just when Xiao Yao encountered an ambush in the valley, Gao Changgong also launched a siege against the artillery battalion!

Fortunately, that night, the artillery battalion chose a wide area against the mountain to camp, so when Gao Changgong launched a sneak attack on the artillery battalion, he could only attack from three directions, so that Li Nong could calmly carry the mountain on his back, and set up an artillery array in three directions in the front for defensive counterattack: dozens of artillery, large-caliber artillery with caliber shotguns, distributed in different positions in three directions, to ensure that there is no dead angle defense, the first few attacks of the Qi army were met with fierce artillery fire, and in the end it could only be outside the range of artillery, The two sides continued to confront each other until noon, and there was no movement between the two sides.

"Report to the battalion commander, the enemy is surrounded on three sides, and we have no way to move at all, so we can only stay here! And now they don't dare to rush over and attack us, their infantry is on the perimeter and does not dare to enter our range, and the cavalry has been circling around us, and we can't aim and fire at all! If we can't attack everyone like this now, and we keep spending here, we won't be able to catch up with the commander! An artillery captain reported to Li Nong.

"Don't worry, the commander is a cautious person, if there is no news from us for a long time, he will definitely find out the problem and rush back to save us! So what if these Qi troops trap us here? They don't dare to get within our range at all, that is, they can't hurt us at all! And now we have plenty of ammunition, and if they have the ability, they have been standing here to surround us, as long as the commander leads the brothers of the musket battalion and the cavalry battalion to return, we can join forces inside and outside, and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor! Pass my orders to move all the vehicles loaded with ammunition behind our backs, and make sure nothing goes wrong! Li Nong ordered.

"Lord Wang, I didn't expect this artillery battalion to be so vigilant, we attacked them before dawn, but they still found out, and they repelled it with artillery, now we don't dare to rush in, they can't leave, have we been waiting here?" The general who failed in the sneak attack asked Gao Changgong.

"The failure of the sneak attack is expected, this infantry battalion is a unit trained by Xiao Yao, in addition to the amazing power of the firearms they use, the combat quality of these soldiers is also very high! At that time, in Xuyi County, we used earth bombs to break through, and the soldiers of those infantry battalions did not show panic at all after being attacked by the explosion of earth bombs, but immediately counterattacked, so let you go to the sneak attack, the main purpose is not to defeat them, but to remind them, so that they can organize a formation to counterattack! Gao Changgong smiled.

"Let them organize a counterattack in formation? Now that their artillery arrays have been set up, we can't attack them! Could it be that the prince already has a good plan to break the enemy? The general asked expectantly, because Gao Changgong is the god of war in their hearts, and the god of war fights, of course, the victory is in hand!

"Of course! Because I already know where the weakness of these invincible guns is! That Zhang Dabao, although he only learned some fur in the infantry battalion, but through his fur, I still have a lot of understanding of this kind of artillery! Gao Changgong also praised himself unceremoniously, and continued: "They have two weaknesses, the first is the shooting range!" So immediately send me an order, send a small number of light cavalry, and launch a tentative attack on them, to attract their attention, but it must be dispersed, not gathered! Then charge into range of their large artillery and lure them into firing, but be sure to spread out quickly to both sides before they do! ”

"Yes! Subordinates go and arrange it immediately! So, what is their second weakness? The general asked curiously.

"The second weakness is gunpowder! That's why I asked them to set up the formation, and then they really moved all the gunpowder to the back of the artillery array, and they were all together, haha, this is the effect I wanted, this weakness has been exposed! Gao Changgong laughed.
