Extravagant Chongming has always been obsessed with the failure of the siege last night, and sending Xizuo into the city to cause a riot is his killer weapon to take the city, and it is also an important means for him to increase his hope in the Shuixi clan.

Yu Chongming had high hopes for this strategy, and the more than 300 soldiers sent into the city were also one of the few elites under him, and they were all reimbursed at once, not to mention, and even the city was not captured.

Therefore, Yu Chongming had a very poor impression of Anji's performance last night, and he was even more disdainful of what he said about the thief army being too powerful to compete.

A thousand foot soldiers against more than 10,000 Shuixi elites, it turned out to be crushed with one blow, and no matter how good the thief army armor was, it shouldn't be such an ending.

Let his plan fall short, and he has the heart to kill Anji.

But looking at Anji's performance, it seems that it is not a hypocrisy, since the withdrawal of the army, Anji has become silent, and he has become suspicious of the army's plan to annihilate the Ming army in Changpoling and then capture Guiyang.

Although I don't dare to say it explicitly, I can know it by looking at my expression.

Anji's suspicious performance undoubtedly cast a shadow on the attack on Changpoling.

An Bangyan didn't care about his son's suspicions, for this small number of Ming troops, and there was no high city wide gully to block it, it would not be a problem to take it.

Moreover, An Bangyan did not regard attacking this Ming army as the main strategic goal, and his intention was in Guiyang.

The passage between Guiyang City and Changpoling has been deliberately given way by the rebels, and the real purpose of An Bangyan's siege of Changpoling is naturally to lead the defenders in the city to come to the rescue, and then take the opportunity to encircle and take advantage of the situation to go down to Guiyang.

And this is a bright card, even if the Ming army in Guiyang City and Changpoling can see it, it doesn't hurt, unless the defenders in Guiyang City sit back and watch the Ming army in Changpoling be surrounded and annihilated and do not go out of the city to rescue, then it can also annihilate this nasty small Ming army by the way.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Ming army that cannot capture Changpoling, but this possibility is not yet in An Bangyan's consideration.

Changpo Ridge is ten miles in circumference, but the Ming army's defense line at the top of the slope is only three or four miles, and it is difficult to deploy large-scale troops, even if the rebels have 60,000 people, An Bangyan can only send more than 10,000 people to attack at most, and any more will not be auxiliary but add chaos.

An Bangyan, who has been in the army for a long time, naturally understands these truths, and in terms of his own heart, this 10,000 horses is enough.

The elite of the attack on Changpoling was selected, and preparations were made for the rescue of the defenders of Guiyang City, and the attack on Changpoling began early the next morning.

For the attack on Changpo Ridge, An Bangyan did not put too much thought into tactics.

In Guizhou, which is known for its mountainous nature, Changpoling was a small dirt bag at best, and the Ming army did not have a walled fort, and there was no topographic space for complex tactics to be displayed in places similar to plains.

Therefore, An Bangyan's tactics of attacking Changpoling were very simple, that is, a dignified field battle, and such a field battle could also give full play to the strength advantage of the rebels.

With the sound of the horn, the rebels responsible for attacking Changpoling began to move towards the position of the Ming army.

And unexpectedly, the Ming army did not come out to line up, but hid in the three ditches that had been dug all day yesterday.

In the field warfare of the army in this era, they all paid attention to the formation without fighting, and even the cavalry battle was to gather in formation first, and then charge in groups.

And the battle between the infantry is even more so, the field battle is the first to set up the formation, and then the collective charge or defense, that is, the Qi family army with the prototype of modern squad and platoon operations, the battle is also based on various formations.

The reason why the combat effectiveness of the Qi family army is higher than that of the army of this era is that its techniques and tactics of combining large formations and small formations are one of the important reasons.

The Mandarin Duck Formation, the Sancai Formation and the Five Elements Formation are especially like the ten-, five-, or three-person combat teams in later generations.

Moreover, the soldiers in each formation of the Qi family army are divided into arms, including captains, long players, rattan players, wolf players, pikemen and short soldiers, and the weapons they use are also different, including shields, bamboo guns, spears, short knives, etc.

The combination of long and short weapons, coupled with defensive weapons such as shields, has already had the prototype of a combat group in later generations.

This was the case in later combat groups based on squads, with one squad leader and one deputy squad leader, two machine gunners, two riflemen (snipers), two grenadiers, and sometimes one ammunition man.

And the weapons are also different, automatic rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, etc., the firepower configuration of a squad is enough to cope with most combat scenarios.

Of course, for the squad-based combat group in later generations, Zhu Youzhen can only yearn for it, and he doesn't know if it can be realized in his lifetime.

At this time, in the face of the Ming army's tactics of hiding in the trenches, An Bangyan felt strange, but he didn't take it seriously.

The field battles in this era are all about arrays, and if you don't array, you will wait to lose the battle, and the heroes and heroes in the mouths of the storytellers in the tile shop can also deceive the people in the market.

Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that on the battlefield, the significance of personal martial arts is not very great.

An Bangyan and Yu Chongming both watched their own sergeants from behind, with the rattan armor soldiers in front and the longbowmen behind.

This tactic of combining melee combat and long-range attack is the most common battle formation in Shuixi Tusi.

When they reach the range of the longbowmen, they first use a wave of bows and arrows to cover the fire and disrupt the enemy's formation, and then the vine armor soldiers suddenly attack and take advantage of the chaos to kill the enemy back.

The rattan armor of the rattan armor can also provide cover for the longbowmen in the rear, protecting their own archers to the greatest extent when the enemy shoots arrows.

Such tactics allowed Shuixi to annex more than 100 large and small Dong villages in Guizhou, and often succeeded in dealing with officials and soldiers who were negligent in training.

But this time, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint An Bangyan.

Thousands of elite rebels took the Changpo Lingling Ridge as the main offensive position, and gradually entered the range of the new army.

At a distance of 500 paces, against the rebels without iron armor, the Minnie rifle already has a certain lethality.

But the new army did not open fire, and under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, they all lay quietly in the trenches, waiting for the rebels to come closer.

For this offensive and defensive battle with no suspense, Lu Xiangsheng means to eliminate a part of the rebels as much as possible, and after the rebels have suffered a loss, it is basically impossible to let people rush up to send their heads.

Therefore, the 3,000 rebels who launched the first round of attacks, according to Lu Xiangsheng's combat goal, naturally wanted to leave all of them behind.

Seeing that thousands of elites on his side were slowly walking towards the Ming army's position, and the Ming army was all immovable, Anji, who felt uneasy in his heart, dragged his aching ass to catch up at this time.

"My lord, at such a distance, according to the kind of bird guns of the army, they can already fire, but they haven't moved at this time, there must be some trap, and my lord can't go any further."

An Ji's expression was solemn, and his concern didn't seem to be fake, but An Bangyan didn't listen.

It's not that he hasn't seen the Ming army's bird guns, but now in his own army, there are also many bird guns, all of which were captured from the Ming army.

But no one wants to use these firearms, the range is about the same as a bow and arrow, and they also blow up the chamber from time to time, such firearms are chicken ribs.

An Ji was anxious to kneel down for his father, but An Bangyan was not only unmoved, but ordered someone to drag An Ji back so as not to disturb the morale of the army.

But not long after Anji was dragged away, the rebels had already marched to a distance of a hundred paces from the outermost defense line of the Ming army, and the general of the leading army was about to signal the army to stop and let the longbowmen draw their bows and arrows, when they heard a rapid whistle.

The Ming army opened fire!
