From noon, the sun was scorching.

Until the evening, the sunset stained the sky of the river red. The color of the river is almost as bright red as the sunset.

The Chu army launched nearly ten fierce attacks in a row.

At a time, five or six thousand miscellaneous troops, with wooden shields with little defensive power in their hands and dense powder guns, desperately charged in front of the rejection horses.

There were even a very small number of miscellaneous soldiers who overturned the rejected horses and bravely jumped into the Danyang army... Then it was chopped into meat sauce by Danyang soldiers.

But in the end, under the fierce bombardment of the small steel cannon, the 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers of the Chu army were defeated again and again.

They were a mixed army after all, and not long ago they were farmers working in the fields, wielding knives and guns for only a few days.

They were poorly trained, and they didn't have the courage to face the ferocious bombardment.

The casualties were far greater than expected, and 15,000 of the 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers had already been killed. If it weren't for the 10,000 elite infantry overseers behind the overseer, I'm afraid this group of miscellaneous soldiers would have fled long ago.

However, the results were few.

The only result of the battle is probably that the Danyang army consumed a huge amount of physical strength, gunpowder, and ammunition.

Admiral Li Pan felt a deep sense of powerlessness and sighed.

This Danyang soldier is too strong, this is a peerless elite soldier who is one as ten! As long as it is used well, it can almost walk sideways on the battlefield.

It's a pity that such a strong elite soldier is actually in the hands of Xiao Duhou.

Li Pan looked up at the sky.

It was already dusk, and there was only half an hour left before it got dark.

Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, waited for half a day on the boat of the river. He has not taken the Danyang army yet, and the king of Chu is probably quite disappointed.

"Six thousand Danyang soldiers have been fighting for a day, they must be exhausted, and they have reached the limit."

"It's the last wave, the Danyang army must be taken down before dark!

Otherwise, after dark, the army will not be able to see and will not be able to fight at night. The Danyang army will have a full night's rest, and tomorrow will be alive again... ”

Thinking of this, Li Pan made up his mind to fight a decisive battle immediately.

The vast majority of the soldiers and civilians of Dachu could not see clearly at night, almost like blind people, and there was no way to fight at night. Even if there are torches, it is difficult to tell the difference.

"10,000 elite infantry in the headquarters, lined up, ready to attack! At all costs, it is necessary to attack it in one go. After this battle, enter Danyang City tonight, so that you can enjoy it! ”

Li Pan roared.

These 10,000 well-trained elite infantry are his greatest capital, and he has always been reluctant to put them into the battlefield.

Now, at last, they're going to be dispatched.

The remnants of the unmoraled and exhausted miscellaneous army hurriedly retreated to the side.

The elite infantry of the 10,000 Chu army gathered, lined up in rows of soldiers, in the middle of the gunners and on both sides of the sword and shield hands, and began to prepare to attack the Danyang army.

The 10,000 light cavalry of the Chu army were still watching from behind... Restlessness to watch.

However, they could not rush up to their deaths either. It is only possible to press the formation in the back .... By the way, be an Overseer.

Behind the elite infantry, forcing them to rush forward.

...

In the turtle formation of the Danyang Army.

The Danyang soldiers were holding gunpowder guns one by one, aiming at the distance, their hands trembling... It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm too tired to hold the gun.

Fought a day of fighting down.

They had long been accustomed to fighting, and they had become extremely numb, without the slightest fear of the Chu army. Only constantly repeated, backward, loaded with gunpowder projectiles, stepped forward to fire. Then, backward reload the gunpowder projectile.

Opportunities for melee combat are extremely rare.

Almost all of the enemies fell in pieces outside the rejection horse, and they could not rush into the rejection horse at all.

Even if you rush to the vicinity of the rejection horse, you will be fine.

Because in addition to the two magic weapons of gunpowder guns and small steel cannons, the Danyang Army also has a terrifying weapon - gunpowder bag.

A gunpowder bag was thrown, and there were thorn iron pieces in it, and if it was fried, there would be no armor left within dozens of steps.

Dozens of wagons were filled with a lot of gunpowder packs.

It just doesn't work much.

Chu Tianxiu's throat was smoking, his lips were chapped, and he took a big sip of water with a gourd.

He stared closely at the movement of the Chu army's formation.

The miscellaneous soldiers receded like a tide.

Another 10,000 Chu infantry came up.

The 10,000 infantrymen, each wearing a pair of leather armor and holding swords and shields, were in a very strict formation and solemn in military authority.

Leather armor and iron armor are only available in the regular army and the central army.

The miscellaneous soldiers were all cloth.

An army of tens of thousands of people, but it can remain silent, and there is no feeling of stragglers, and it can be seen at a glance that this is a truly well-trained elite army.

There are not many elite soldiers in the Chu State, a total of 30,000, and this is 10,000 of them.

The combat effectiveness of these 10,000 elite soldiers is even more powerful than that of 50,000 miscellaneous soldiers.

Li Kangnian's face was full of soot, wiped his sweat, and said, "Uncle, the Chu army has taken out the old bottom elite soldiers." Is this going to be a decisive battle? ”

Chu Tianxiu nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Hmm." Take out the fireworks, and as soon as they charge and can't change formation, they will launch immediately! ”

If the Danyang army is full of physical strength, it is not afraid of the elite infantry of the Chu army, and it can completely kill them.

But after a day of fighting, the Danyang army was already very tired, and the gun was unstable, I am afraid that it would be difficult to block the Chu army's fearless charge in this wave.

"Yes!"

...

In the woods in the distance.

Li Yu's eyes lit up, staring at the battlefield tightly.

The husband has not sent any signal for help.

The battle by the river, from the bloody battle at noon to dusk.

The tens of thousands of troops of the Chu army fought extremely hard, and the Danyang soldiers were obviously exhausted, but they were still persevering.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a firework shot up into the sky, exploding a brilliant firework in the sky above the Danyang Army.

It is used as a command signal.

There's nothing more appropriate than fireworks. At a glance, it is eye-catching.

"County Lord, it's the fireworks that went off, and my uncle sent a signal to attack!"

Di'er was pleasantly surprised.

"It's time to do it!"

Li Yu immediately jumped on his horse and shouted, "30,000 infantry charged head-on and penetrated straight into the heart of the Chu army. 20,000 cavalry, cover the past, kill the 10,000 light cavalry of the Chu army, don't let them escape! ”

The 20,000 cavalry roared, rushed out of the woods, and went straight to the 10,000 light cavalry of the Chu army.

30,000 elite infantry rushed out of the woods and killed the Chu army who were fighting by the river.

...

"Smack~!"

A brilliant firework exploded in the sky of the Danyang Army, and the golden fireworks were extremely eye-catching.

On the riverbank, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Chu army raised their heads up and down.

It's beautiful!

They had never seen each other in their lives.

I don't know what this is?!

"This is fireworks? I heard that on the day of Qixi Festival, Xiao Duhou held a fireworks festival on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and the beauty of fireworks caused a sensation in Jinling City. ”

"It's the most beautiful thing in the world!"

"Little Dusk Hou, it's really a peerless talent!"

Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, couldn't help but sigh.

"King, I heard that this firework was invented by Shen Wanbao and Li Tiantian."

A strategist next to him said.

"It's just a cover-up! Shen Wanbao and Li Shenguo, these two people also know that they don't have much talent in their lives. The little dusk marquis faked the hands of the two to invent this firework.

It's just that beauty is beautiful, and this firework is not of much use. ”

King Chu shook his head.

As he spoke, he was suddenly stunned, and his eyes widened again, looking five or six miles away.

Thundered!

On the shore, Admiral Li Pan felt the earth rumbling, and it seemed that thousands of war horses were galloping.

He couldn't help but be stunned, his 10,000 cavalry didn't move, where did the tens of thousands of war horses come from?

Li Pan looked back in amazement.

But see.

At dusk, from the direction of Danyang City, there was a dark shadow in the distance, and tens of thousands of light cavalry were rushing towards them like a tide.

Li Pan's face was suddenly pale and colorless, and he was so shocked that his soul flew out of the sky.

Army!

Tens of thousands of imperial armies!

How could they suddenly stand out behind them, are these soldiers and horses all elite soldiers transferred from Jinling City?

Why don't they show up sooner or later? But when he dispatched 10,000 elite infantry, when he attacked the Danyang soldiers with all his might, he killed them behind?

If he still had 10,000 elite infantry and 10,000 elite cavalry in his hands, he would at least be able to let 10,000 elite infantry take up his position and turn around to resist it, so as not to be defeated too badly.

However, he only had 10,000 elite light cavalry left in his hands, and he could not resist the 20,000 elite cavalry and 30,000 elite infantry attacking from the opposite side.

10,000 elite infantry had already launched a charge and killed in front of the Danyang army, and under the full charge, they could not change the formation at all.

This means that their fragile hearts are exposed and cut down like vegetables.

"Oh no, I've been tricked!"

"Quick, fifteen thousand miscellaneous troops, go up! Block them! ”

"Cavalry, rush forward and kill head-on! Block, give Ben a block! ”

Li Pan vomited blood and roared in despair.

The 15,000 miscellaneous soldiers would definitely not be able to stop the charge of the 30,000 elite soldiers, and they would definitely collapse. 10,000 cavalry to fight 20,000 cavalry, also obviously weak.

But he couldn't help it.

His soldiers and horses are all here, and even if he wants to escape to the ship, it is absolutely impossible.

"The imperial court actually transferred 50,000 elite soldiers from the imperial capital of Jinling? ... How is this possible! ”

"It's over!"

"My army of 50,000 died here!"

Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, was on the boat and saw the 50,000 imperial army suddenly appearing in the distance, he was stunned and sat down on his seat.
