Before the war officially began, the Great Western Army lost at least more than 10,000 people, and the entire Great Western Army camp was in flames.

The loss in numbers is still a small matter, and the key is that the entire position of the Great Western Army has been disrupted.

In the Chinese army, Zhang Xianzhong was so anxious that he hurriedly sent generals to each battalion to gather the team.

Suddenly, the number of shells fired from the Bull Head Peak gradually decreased, and after a quarter of an hour, calm was restored to the entire battlefield again.

Before the officers and soldiers of the Great Western Army could calm down from crying for their fathers and mothers, in the north of the camp, a rush of shouting and killing came sharply.

"Forward!"

The forward troops of the Liu family, with nearly 30,000 people, took advantage of the shelling of the Great Western Army at the same time, and had quietly lurked two miles away from the Great Western Army.

As soon as the shelling was heard at this moment, Zhang Jingliang, commander of the 101st Division, who led the command of the team, immediately ordered the whole army to move forward.

Since it was a hill, the entire Liu family's vanguard began to advance in turn according to the straggler front required in the drill code.

The pioneer battalion of the Great Western Army was facing this mountain forest, and suddenly many soldiers of the Liu Family Army wearing the uniforms of the Great Red Army suddenly appeared.

"Enemy attack! Hurry up! ”

Bai Wenxuan, the former military governor of the Great Western Army, sent out of a bomb crater with a disgraced face, grabbed his own personal soldiers and began to gather soldiers desperately.

The distance of two miles was not far, and the advance of the Great Western Army had only gathered a team of five or six thousand people, and the 101st Division led by Zhang Jingliang had already begun to conduct free fire on the hillside.

Liu Jiajun is already using a rear-loading rifled gun at the moment, and the accuracy and reloading speed are far beyond the original front-loading smoothbore gun.

In this case, accurate fire and continuous fire coverage have become possible.

Therefore, Liu Ximing had already ordered the Liu family officer corps to begin to explore the tactics of stragglers, and evolved the original method of queuing and shooting into a more flexible multi-front simultaneous advance tactic.

Now on the battlefield in Dingyuan County, it is the time for the Liu family's new tactics to shine.

Tang Zhong was a private of the 101st Class under the 3rd Brigade of the 101st Division, and the Qu he occupied in this battle was sent to serve as the vanguard.

Jumping lightly over a small slope on the terraces, Tang Zhong dodged behind a small tree at the edge of the terraces in front of him.

Looking past from his position, the nearest officer of the Great Western Army on the opposite side was no longer more than a hundred paces.

Suddenly, Tang Zhong's eyes shrank and he saw a general of the Great Western Army wearing gorgeous armor.

The man had a beard on his face, and while hiding behind a few of his guards, he kept beckoning the soldiers behind him to come forward to the front.

"It's you", a hint of joy flashed in Tang Zhong's heart.

He immediately skillfully picked up the dragon champ three style in his hand, and with a handsome flick of his right hand at the back end of the gun, he directly opened the magazine and loaded it with a new bullet.

"Emperor Ziwei bless!"

After silently reciting the name of the god, Tang Zhong narrowed his right eye and focused on aiming at the general of the Great Western Army.

"Northwest wind, wind speed 3 feet per second, distance 180 steps ......"

Some data flashed from the bottom of Tang Zhong's heart, and Tang Zhong was not at all worried about the distance of 180 steps.

He knows this treasure in his hand, although the generals usually ask to reach 100 steps before shooting when fighting in a large army, this does not mean that this treasure can only shoot at 100 paces of targets.

On the contrary, because the bullet in the paper bullet is made of brass and has a cavity at the rear end, the bullet expands under the impact of the powder chamber gas to perfectly fit the rifling inside the gun when fired.

Tang Zhong and other soldiers who were proficient in shooting often experimented privately, and the effective shooting distance of the Long Xiang Three Styles was as high as 400 steps, and the hit rate could reach 50% at this distance.

However, at this time, Tang Zhong naturally didn't have such distracting thoughts in his mind, and he only had the gorgeous figure in the crosshair in his eyes.

"Bang"

Ignoring the distractions on the battlefield, Tang Zhong resolutely pulled the trigger in his hand, and almost at the moment when the gun rang out, the general of the Great Western Army in armor in front of him fell in response.

"Bai Dudu is dead! Bai Dudu is dead! ”

There was a sudden panicked shout from the forward army of the Great Western Army, and tens of thousands of people in the entire front army collapsed at once.

"Good boy", behind Tang Zhong, his tun commander Zhang Jianhong suddenly rushed past him with a gun, turning his head and giving him a bright smile while chasing forward.

Tang Zhong immediately grinned, revealing his white teeth that were several degrees whiter than the people of this era.

"Rush!"

Seeing that the advance of the Great Western Army began to retreat and retreat, the soldiers of the 101st Division became even more excited, and they ran wildly in pursuit one by one scattered in the fields, and from time to time used the muskets or grenades in their hands to harvest the lives of the soldiers of the Great Western Army.

The 101st Division pursued the three-mile road until it had to stop because the Central Army of the Great Western Army came to support.

Zhang Jingliang accepted it as soon as he saw it, and the sharp whistle sounded instantly, and the stragglers scattered in the forest began to retreat in an orderly manner.

In the middle of the Great Western Army, Zhang Xianzhong, who had just retreated to outside the range of Liu's army's artillery, was so angry when he heard the news of the defeat of the forward.

"A bunch of dogs, what's the use of Lao Tzu raising you!"

"The king is angry, or it is the best policy to gather the army as soon as possible." , Li Dingguo and others will persuade one after another.

Taking advantage of the fact that Yu Yongkai did not continue to lead his troops to attack, the Great Western Army was able to gather all the troops.

However, this tranquility did not last long, and half an hour later, from the hills on the northwest side of the Great Western Army, fierce shouts of killing sounded again.

Yu Yongkai sent another 5,000 soldiers and horses from the left flank to harass and attack!

This is not over, the Great Western Army is marching together by land and water, seeing that the land route is at a loss, the Governor of the Great Western Army and the Navy Governor Di Sanpindang even drove the officers and men of the Navy to row hard to land and raid the Yongkai Department from the upstream.

Who knew that it was only halfway to the upper reaches of the river, and more than 30 boats went down the river, and compared with the appearance of Wuchang City, there was another cross-river interception.

As soon as the artillery fire came down, Di Sanpin was beaten and urinated, and the navy also retreated south.

As soon as he retreated, he immediately exposed the right flank of Zhang Xianzhong's army, and now the Liu family's army was attacked from both sides, and the corpses of the Great Western Army were everywhere along the Jialing River.

Zhang Xianzhong retreated in a panic and did not stop until he retreated to the vicinity of Bazi Mountain.

It is far away from the Jialing River, and it is all hills, and the artillery of the Liu Jiajun cannot be observed and aimed, which allowed the Great Western Army to escape.

But when the number of people was counted the next day, Zhang Xianzhong found that there were no more than 30,000 people in the army of more than 300,000 people, and he really wanted to cry without tears.

In the camp of the Chinese army, there was a deafening scolding sound from Zhang Xianzhong's tent again.

"Liu Ximing, I'll grass your grandma!"

The Great Western Army, which suffered a big loss, still wanted to get back from Yu Yongkai, and in the next half a month, the armies of the two sides carried out a fierce battle around Dingyuan County.

There are many soldiers in Onishi, but they are not familiar with geography from afar, and the logistics and supplies are not smooth, compared with Yu Yongkai, who is the head of the land, he has gradually fallen behind in the battle.

On the seventh day of the first month of March, Zhang Xianzhong, who had lost more than 60,000 horses in a row, finally couldn't stay up, and took advantage of the cover of night to withdraw more than 200,000 troops to Chongqing again along the Jialing River overnight.

"Hahaha, refreshing, today I finally know how powerful the combat system that the second brother often talks about, Brother Kai, you didn't go to see it in person, Zhang Xianzhong, this bastard, can't stop our firepower at all."

Hearing the news of Zhang Xianzhong's retreat from Chongqing, the 100,000 soldiers in Yu Yongkai's army immediately cheered.

Zhang Jingcai led a group of generals to enter Yu Yongkai's tent while laughing loudly.

"Don't be careless, we don't have many people after all."

Yu Yongkai reminded with a smile while beckoning everyone to take a seat.

However, he knew that it was in vain to say this, the Liu family had basically been smooth sailing after so many years of fighting, and the confident psychology of the generals could not be changed.

After nearly 10 years of hard work, Liu Jiajun's officer corps has become larger and larger, with about 50,000 officers at all levels alone among the 500,000-strong troops.

The officer-to-enlisted ratio is as high as 1:10.

The financial system of the Liu family has also reminded Liu Ximing more than once that the officers are seriously over-standard, but Liu Ximing has always adhered to this practice with the principle of long-term consideration.

Of the 50,000-strong officer corps, almost the vast majority have either been trained in the Central Plains soldiers of Shao Derong and Zheng Jingcai, or have been trained in Luzon in rotation, and their strategic vision and tactical ability are very outstanding.

It is precisely because of this confidence that Liu Ximing dared to popularize the staff officer system in the military system, and now it seems that it has indeed effectively guaranteed the combat capability of the army.
