The People's Army came, Song Yingchang also led the Ming army to meet it, and thousands of Ming troops did not rush to Xinfeng County, Song Yingchang's troops were close to 80,000, in Song Yingchang's view, the troops in his hands were enough to defeat the enemy.

On this open battlefield in the southeast area of Xinfeng County, the People's Army and the Ming Army arrived one after another, as if two dark clouds were about to collide together, and even the earth was shaking slightly.

The two armies were separated by more than two miles, and they began to line up.

Both armies have artillery to send shells two miles away, but the farther the distance, the lower the accuracy, the less powerful, the People's Army basically has to wait for the Ming Army to enter the range of 1,000 meters before opening artillery, in the past the Ming Army would fire artillery at a distance of 500 meters or even closer, now the Ming Army also learns from the People's Army, and will wait until the distance of 1,000 meters to open fire.

At such a distance, it was very difficult for the People's Army to determine the artillery positions of the Ming army, so it could only be bombarded.

At the front of the Ming army array, one after another chariots appeared, all of which were reinforced and thickened in front and pushed forward from behind by manpower, and through such strange-looking chariots, they reached the sharp firearms of the People's Army.

This method Song Yingchang got from the Huguang Defeated Army, in addition to this method can resist the lead bullets shot by the tiger head gun, you can also use a stronger shield, but this kind of shield takes more time to build, and there are relatively few people in the Ming army who can pick up this kind of big shield, and the marching speed on the battlefield is very slow, it is better to build a chariot.

At the forefront of the Ming army was a row of chariots, and after the chariots, the Ming soldiers, firecrackers, sword and shield soldiers, and pikemen who pushed the carts lined up in turn.

In addition to this chariot, the strangest thing is that Song Yingchang, who is located in the Chinese army, and a number of Ming army generals and leading officers, all wearing the clothes of ordinary soldiers.

The fact that Guo Mian, Cui Zhengxin, Liu Yuanji and others were killed in the army was known to Song Yingchang, and Song Yingchang's first thought after knowing this matter was not to believe it, not that he did not believe that Guo Mian, Cui Zhengxin, Liu Yuanji and others were killed in the army, but that he did not believe that the death of these people was done by the people's army.

If the People's Army really knows how to demons, then Daming will really die.

Thinking of the sharp firearms of the People's Army with a very long range, Song Yingchang felt that there should be a more powerful firearm in the People's Army, which could attack from a longer distance and be very accurate.

The generals in armor were very conspicuous in the army, and they were shot one by one by the KPA with the firearms.

Thinking of this, Song Yingchang ordered all the generals to change into the clothes of ordinary soldiers, and let some soldiers change into their clothes.

In a war with a total number of more than 100,000 people, intrigue and intrigue have little effect, and this war relies on frontal fighting.

On this side of the KPA was the usual formation, with two infantry battalions of the firearms unit arranged in three horizontal rows at the front, and on the left and right sides of the infantry battalion, the first troops and the grenadier units surrounded them on three sides, and then the cold weapons troops, whose artillery battalions had formed artillery positions on both flanks of the army.

In the middle of the People's Army array, some positions in front, the front is the grenadier unit, the back is the cold weapon unit, Wang Shengrong sits here, behind Wang Shengrong, is a high flag, the big flag is red on the background of gold, embroidered "People's Army" three big characters, this is the banner of the People's Army, very simple and ordinary, but it is the spiritual sustenance of the soldiers of the People's Army.

The military flag does not fall, and the fight to the death does not retreat, it is the same for both the People's Army and the Ming Army.

"Beat the drums!"

Song Yingchang gave an order, and the war drums of the Ming army slowly sounded.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of war drums spread throughout the Ming army array, hearing the sound of war drums, the coachmen at the front of the Ming army array slowly pushed the heavy chariot forward, and the Ming soldiers behind them clenched the weapons in their hands, and many people had fine sweat on their foreheads under the influence of the depressed atmosphere on the battlefield.

"Am I going to die?"

"I want to live!"

"Kill all the thieves, and our army will win!"

"Kill, kill, kill! I'm going to kill a few more thieves, and it's time to get promoted and get rich. ”

……

In the minds of the Ming soldiers, various ideas kept emerging, the strength of the Ming army was nearly 80,000, the strength of the People's Army was more than 60,000, and the two sides together were as many as 140,000.

The war had not yet begun, and many Ming soldiers were afraid, they joined the Ming army just to feed or feed their families, and no one wanted to die.

On weekdays, the Ming army did not suffer much casualties in the suppression of bandits and bandits, and the Ming soldiers and soldiers would not be afraid of bandits and bandits.

But the People's Army is not bandits, the Ming Army has nearly 80,000 troops, and the People's Army has more than 60,000 troops, and the gap between the two sides is not big, if you want to distinguish the victory or defeat of the battle, at least tens of thousands of people will die, and no one will guarantee that they will be able to survive on this battlefield, once they are dead and disabled, then their families will be finished.

They really don't want to fight, but it has reached this point, they don't have any choice, it is better to fight on the battlefield if they are deserters or die.

There are also Ming soldiers who are ready to play tricks, thinking of surviving by pretending to be dead.

The Ming soldiers who are afraid of death occupy the vast majority, but there are also a small number of Ming soldiers who want to kill more enemies on the battlefield and make more meritorious contributions, and get promoted and make a fortune, such an opportunity is too rare, and it is not easy to have their own merits snatched away by their superiors.

The oppression and exploitation of the soldiers by the officers of the Ming army is like the exploitation of the tenants by the landlords.

The soldiers of the People's Army are also afraid of death, especially those recruits who have only joined the People's Army in the past two months, they are still on the battlefield for the first time, no matter how many times they have trained before, even if they have participated in the suppression of bandits, they are far from being able to compare with this big battle.

They are afraid of death, and at the same time they want to win this battle, they know that behind them is where their families live, it is the People's Army that makes their families about to live a good life, this good day is not easy to come by, they are not willing to take away this good day from the Ming army, for the sake of their families, for this hard-won good life, and for the sake of the poor people all over the world, they are willing to fight to the death!

The "veterans" of the People's Army are better, they have participated in more battles, they have witnessed the People's Army win battles again and again, and in their hearts, the People's Army is invincible, and even the strongest enemy will be defeated by the People's Army.

The Ming army advanced, Wang Shengrong also gave the order to advance, the people's army slowly advanced, not long after, Wang Shengrong issued an order to the firearms troops to open artillery, and the three Franco machine gun battalions fired at the Ming army array with the maximum firing range!
