With the order of the eldest grandson Mingyue, five hundred people walked out of the Chengfeng army, they held shields, formed a battle formation, and slowly advanced towards the mountain.

"Hey, five hundred?" Shangguan Xiu smiled disdainfully, and then said, "Prepare the archers, shoot them all into a sieve for me!" ”

There were about a thousand archers on the mountain, and they drew their bows one after another, aiming at the shield battle formation of the Wind Army.

The sound of "clanging" accompanied by the arrows all shot on the shield of the Wind Army, clanging.

Xuanyuan Ding looked at these soldiers raising shields with interest, this battle can be said to be the first battle of the Chengfeng Army, the battle of Jianding County is not counted at all, after the general defending the city was sniped by Xu Xiang, Jianding County quickly surrendered, and the Chengfeng Army was equivalent to winning without a fight.

After a rain of arrows, none of the 500 soldiers in the shield battle formation lost any of them, not even slightly wounded.

He couldn't help but sigh and said, "What kind of material is this shield made of, it can actually withstand the salvo of thousands of arrows from more than a thousand archers." ”

Eldest Sun Mingyue didn't answer his words, his eyes were fixed on the battlefield, and he saw that the soldiers of the first battalion had advanced fifty steps forward, and they would be able to meet Shangguan Xiu's soldiers fifty steps further.

Shangguan Xiu was annoyed for a while, but he didn't expect that this round of archers' attacks would not have any results, which made him very unhappy.

Seeing that the shield soldiers were about to come over, he looked at the deputy general beside him and said, "Zhang Yiyun, you lead a thousand people to annihilate all these shield soldiers for me!" ”

"Don't worry, General! The subordinates will annihilate them under the hillside, or the last will come to see them! After saying that, he gathered his troops and horses and rushed forward.

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

Seeing that the other party had moved, Changsun Mingyue's right hand was raised slightly, "First battalion, stop!" ”

The herald beside her picked up the horn, and a long horn sounded, and the shield soldiers stopped in unison, transforming into a fan-shaped battle formation.

Zhang Yiyun rushed up with the soldiers and met the soldiers of the first battalion. At this time, the first battalion was like an iron-shelled castle, and they had to break through this fan-shaped battle formation before they could annihilate these five hundred people.

But when their long knives and spears slashed at the shields, the shields showed no signs of being destroyed, but were shocked by the shields, and the hands holding their weapons were bounced back, and their palms were numb.

The soldiers of the first battalion took the opportunity to change the formation of their shields, revealing some thin cracks, and their long knives and spears stabbed out of the thin cracks, stabbing Zhang Yiyun's soldiers into a transparent hole.

It was only in the first round of punching the needle, not to mention that it did not achieve any results, but it lost more than 200 people in this round of confrontation.

Zhang Yiyun was about to explode, and shouted loudly, "Cut off their weapons, don't give them a chance to counterattack!" ”

The battle between the two sides has become white-hot, and casualties have begun to appear among the Chengfeng army.

The defensive ability of this battle formation is very strong, but there is also a fatal drawback, once someone in the battle formation falls, it is equivalent to a gap.

After all, there are not many of these shield soldiers, only five hundred, and if there are more, the gap can be quickly filled.

"Go, get a machine gun on the machine gun crew!" The eldest grandson Mingyue said to the herald beside him.

It didn't take long for a cart to appear in the rear of the Wind Army, covered with cloth, and in addition to the soldiers with two carts, one on the left and one on the right, there were six soldiers carrying wooden boxes on their backs, judging from the rope strangulation marks on their shoulders, the contents of these wooden boxes must have been very heavy.

There were also two very burly soldiers, dressed in the same clothes as the generals of the Heroic Battalion.

There were 10,000 men in the Chengfeng army, 3,000 cavalry with 300 people as a battalion, 6,000 infantry with 500 people as a battalion, and each battalion was equipped with a battalion general, so there were 22 battalion generals for these 9,000 people.

And this machine gun group of 500 people, every group of 10 people, each group has two battalion generals, so it can be seen that the machine gun team is the trump card in the Chengfeng army.

Before the cart came to the battle formation, the battalion general wearing silver chain mail saluted the eldest grandson Mingyue, "The last general, Lin Fu, has seen the young patriarch, and the first group of machine guns has been debugged and can enter the battlefield!" ”

"Go ahead." The eldest grandson Mingyue waved his hand.

The battalion general Lin Fu returned to the cart, lifted the cloth on the cart, revealing an iron bump, he and another battalion general stepped on the cart, Lin Fu raised the small red flag in his hand, and pointed in the direction of the battle formation, "Let's go!" ”

The soldiers on the cart pushed them forward left and right, and six soldiers with wooden boxes on their backs followed.

They stopped about thirty paces behind the first battalion, Lin Fu raised his machine gun, aimed his gun at the battlefield, and shouted loudly: "The first battalion, with me as the center, line up!" ”

The first battalion had already suffered some casualties, and after seeing Lin Fu's machine gun crew coming, the battalion general of the first battalion ordered: "First battalion, retreat!" Defend against the enemy! ”

Hearing the order, these soldiers with shields began to deal with the soldiers who were approaching Shangguan Xiu and retreated.

"The enemy has retreated! Brothers, the opportunity has come, rush with me! Seeing that the first battalion began to retreat, Zhang Yiyun did not feel the danger at all, but felt that it was because his strong attack made the enemy retreat.

Although he cost more than 300 men, he only killed less than 50 shield soldiers of the first battalion. But he felt that it was worth it, that he had finally gnawed off this lump of iron, and victory seemed to beckon to him.

He was very excited and chased after the remaining six hundred people.

The 1st Battalion fought and retreated, and after retreating to the side of the machine-gun group, raised its shield in place.

"Straight ahead, get out of the way!" Seeing this, Lin Fu ordered.

The shield soldiers in front of the machine gun slowly moved to the sides, and Lin Fu looked at the figure of Zhang Yiyun's soldiers who rushed over excitedly, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"Da Da Da!" Dense machine-gun bullets hit Zhang Yiyun, Zhang Yiyun rushed to the front, bearing the brunt, his armor was pierced by the bullets, and he was killed without any reaction.

Immediately afterward, the more than 600 soldiers who rushed with him fell like a Domiller effect.

"This ......" Xuanyuan's eyes widened, this ...... It's horrible! Seven hundred, less than ten breaths, to cause such a lot of damage?

Those soldiers who rushed behind, when they saw the soldiers in front of them falling in pieces, dared to rush forward, and ran back with their legs drawn.

But how can the speed of a person be compared to the speed of a bullet, except for the most astute soldiers, who managed to escape the range of the machine gun, the rest of the people, without exception, died thoroughly.

Looking at the soldiers who ran back in embarrassment, Shangguan Xiu was shocked.

Originally, these shield soldiers had such a strong defensive ability, which was a headache for him.

It is very cost-effective to be able to disrupt their formation at the cost of the lives of more than 300 soldiers! Zhang Yiyun is obviously already in control, if the other party does not increase his troops, these five hundred shield soldiers will be completely annihilated by him. When Lin Fu, who came over with a machine gun, went into battle, he still felt that there were only ten people, and he couldn't change the situation of the battle.

He agrees with Zhang Yiyun's "pursuit of victory", and if it were him, he would do the same!

However, he couldn't accept that the 1,000 elite soldiers brought by Zhang Yiyun were all wiped out in one face?

"Can anyone tell General Ben what that fire-breathing monster is?" He snarled and questioned his men.

However, how could anyone know that the machine gun, a weapon that was thousands of years ahead of their time, was dejected and did not dare to make any response.

"Capture the soldiers who have escaped."

Watching the soldiers who had fled stumbling back, they all seemed to be crazy, their eyes were blank, and their mouths were murmuring: "Devil, man-eating devil!" ”

Soon, the soldiers were arrested, and the soldiers fell to the ground, frightened, and did not have the kind of happiness that they had for the rest of their lives. All they remember was that their comrades around them fell one by one, and the blood sprayed on their faces almost made them collapse.

"Say, what's going on?" Although he could watch from a distance on the hillside as the fire-breathing monster on the carriage killed the elite under his hands, after all, it was impossible to see so clearly after a distance of one or two hundred steps, and these soldiers who had escaped death had hit the machine gun at close range, so they were naturally much clearer than him.

"Devil!"

"It's horrible! Before the fire could reach their bodies, they fell, and their bodies were pierced with blood! ”

"Ahh Help me! ”

These soldiers didn't say a single useful information, they were all crazy, Shangguan Xiu was bored for a while, and waved his big hand, "Escape from the battle, pull them all down, and beat fifty military sticks!" ”

Then, he ordered all to retreat to the defensive circle at the top of the mountain, and it was impossible to take the initiative to attack.

The battle had barely begun, and he had lost a thousand troops, while the enemy's casualties were less than fifty.

If there is no good way to deal with the fire-breathing monster, the opponent will kill it after the whole army, and they will have no power to resist.

After the soldiers dragged these fleeing people down, he looked at the Chengfeng army under the hillside, his brows tightened, "The army below has begun to assemble again, do you have any good solutions?" How can I deal with that fire-breathing monster? ”

“......”

Everyone looked at each other, this machine gun was something they had never touched before, and the lethality made them all unmotivated.

"General, perhaps...... You can go to the equipment yard and pull out the catapult and crush that fire-breathing monster to death! Someone finally opened his mouth, "Recently, the new catapult developed by the Institute of Instruments can not only be loaded with 300 catties of boulders, but also has a great improvement in accuracy, I believe that as long as ten catapults are prepared, they will be able to eliminate it if they throw stones at that monster in a unified manner!" ”

"Good! Get ready for the catapult! When Shangguan Xiu heard this, he felt that this method was feasible.

Mingyue, the eldest grandson under the mountain, knew that Shangguan Xiu was unable to take the initiative to attack, so he ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield. Now that the opponent has retreated to the top of the mountain, this attack on the top of the hill is completely different from the hillside, and the tactics need to be rearranged.

"Young Patriarch, I have to apologize to you." Xuanyuan Ding came to her side and said very sincerely.

The eldest grandson Mingyue was a little surprised, "Why did Your Majesty say this?" ”

"Before, Changsha and I planned to calm the war in Chu first, and Ningdu would like to plan it again. The young patriarch opposed our plan and decided to attack Ningdu directly. At that time, I and Changsha felt that the young patriarch was a little blindly confident, but now it seems that we underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Chengfeng Army! Until this battle, I still had contempt for the young patriarch, so I have to apologize to you. ”

The eldest grandson Mingyue said indifferently: "Your Majesty is serious, Mingyue just wants to help Your Majesty quell the rebellion as soon as possible, so that she can rush back to Baige Island and support Ash Mountain." ”

"Are the enemies of Ember Mountain really that strong? Even the strong combat power of the Chengfeng Army can't beat it back? Xuanyuan Ding asked in surprise.

Eldest Sun Mingyue's eyes looked south, as if she was caught in a memory, and did not answer Xuanyuan Ding's question.

It's just that when Xuanyuan Ding saw her expression, he knew that the enemy of this Ash Mountain might be really very strong.

Xuanyuan Ding sighed, his face was ashamed, Baige Island faced a strong enemy, and he also transferred the Chengfeng Army to help him quell the rebellion, he was really a little ashamed.

It's just that he has no choice, if there is no help from the forces of the Changsun clan, the Xuanyuan royal family and Great Xia will fall into a catastrophe, he doesn't want Great Xia to be cut off in the hands of his own emperor, and he is ashamed of the ancestors of the Xuanyuan royal family.

"Since the young patriarch doesn't want to say it, then I won't ask anymore! I promise you that as long as you retake Ningdu, the Wind Army will be able to return to Baige Island. ”

"Your Majesty misunderstood, Mingyue didn't want to say it, but ...... The enemies of the Ashen Mountains are more powerful than His Majesty could have imagined. ”

"Oh......" he replied, the subject too heavy for him to go on.

So, he changed the topic and asked, "Young Patriarch, now Shangguan Xiu has retreated to the top of the mountain. This mountain top is completely different from the hillside, they are condescending, occupy the best position, and it is a little difficult to gnaw. ”

"What about taking advantage of the location?" Eldest Sun Mingyue squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the busy soldiers of Shangguan Xiu on the top of the mountain, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Mingwei, come over here." She waved her hand and said to the eldest grandson Mingwei on the side.

The eldest grandson, Mingwei, came over and asked, "Mingyue, what do you have to do?" ”

"Shangguan Xiu wanted to capture His Majesty and hand it over to the King of Zhongshan at first, so he went down the mountain to fight with us. Now that I have suffered a loss, it is estimated that I will always nest on the top of the mountain and not come out. I have two strategies on my side, can you help me refer to them? ”

"Mingyue, if you have any ideas, just do it directly, if it doesn't work, let's attack! We now have 4,000 infantry here, and we can deal with them at all. ”

"No, the infantry can't move for the time being!" Eldest Sun Mingyue shook his head, "When we came out this time, the infantry didn't have many bullets. To deal with a small role like Shangguan Xiu, it is better to save some. ”

"And what's your strategy?"

"The first one set fire to the mountain and forced Shangguan Xiu to fight with us at the bottom of the mountain, but in this case, it will cause the equipment yard to be burned and a lot of useful siege equipment will be burned. The second is to encircle the point to send reinforcements, we will surround the equipment yard and create more pressure on Shangguan Xiu, so that he will definitely ask for help from Heyuan Mansion. As long as Heyuan Mansion comes to the rescue, you can directly use cavalry to annihilate the reinforcements, so as to consume the living force of Heyuan Mansion. ”

"The purpose of our attack on the Instrument Courtyard is to be able to obtain the siege equipment of the Instrument Courtyard so that we can capture Heyuan Mansion. If you can wipe out the forces of Heyuan Mansion, the siege will be much easier. ”

"It's just that the second strategy, whether it can succeed or not, depends on whether Heyuan Mansion will come to the rescue."

The eldest grandson Mingwei pondered for a moment, and then said, "Hearing you say this, I have come up with a third plan here. ”
