Before the railroad was officially popularized, the great war was often decided in a day or half a day, as in the famous Battle of Waterloo, in which the emperor of France lost his crown in half a day.

After the railroad is put into use on the battlefield, the battlefield will be divided by all kinds of trenches, completely reduced to a meat grinder, and turned into a protracted war of attrition.

"The artillery is too bulky, we only have two thousand muskets at the moment, and our disadvantage seems obvious, Xiaohan."

"Most of the people on the other side are just peasants who have just taken up arms, and our army is made up of well-trained soldiers. Not to mention the lack of cavalry on the opposite side. ”

Duan Xiaohan traveled day and night along the way and finally arrived at Yecheng, although his personal force was too small for tens of thousands of people. But a good player like Duan Xiaohan put on the clothes of an ordinary soldier and took the head of the enemy general in the chaos is his task.

Zhiyu also knows that most of his subordinates are new recruits, so only by taking the initiative to attack can he avoid his own army from being attacked and collapsing.

"Soldiers, anyone who can take the land and land will be rewarded with 100,000 silver at the head level, and the hereditary descendants of 800 families will be sealed." Such a loose army can only make these soldiers forget to die if they make the greatest profits.

After hearing that the young master Zhiyu offered such a big reward, the soldiers below boiled. My ancestors have been farming for so long, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to worship the prime minister and soar.

The spear in his hand was tightly held by these soldiers, and this glory and wealth were in front of him, as long as he took Lu Zhan's head. Although it has been rumored among the people that this Lu Zhan is a Wenqu star, the gods in the sky are small after all, and the real benefits in front of them are real.

"Oh, you see that the morale of this Zhijia army has suddenly risen, I guess this Zhiyu must have offered a bounty, and if I expected it to be good, the target of this bounty must be the head of the lord." Duan Xiaohan knows that wealth moves people's hearts, and the temptation of money and benefits often overwhelms people's minds.

"I don't know how much my head is worth in the Zhi family." Lu Zhan said half-jokingly, and then waved his hand to make the sappers quickly erect the barbed wire, and the musketeers also poured gunpowder into the barrel, and waited for the enemy to approach and ignite the fire.

The cavalry of the Zhi family is basically on the battlefield in the north, and this Zhiyu only has 3,000 cavalry in his hands. Both Lu Zhan and Zhiyu arranged cavalry units on the two flanks of the army.

Only in some TV series and movies, in order to pursue the effect, the cavalry is used to rush directly at the opponent's army, in fact, the cavalry is used to secretly stab the opponent's weak wings or come hard in the back, unless the opponent is also a cavalry, they will face to face.

After all, Zhiyu was instigated by Annai to prepare for an attack, and these soldiers wanted to take off Lu Zhan's head and go to receive the reward.

"It seems that our soldiers can't wait, warriors! Sortie! ”

Zhiyu ordered the heralds under his command to start marching with drums, and the infantry of the Zhi family began to slowly approach the Yanzhou army. The military formation, which was quite neat at the beginning, gradually loosened, after all, they were all second-line garrisons and recruits.

In Lu Zhan's opinion, these rabble must not be his opponents, but now is not the time for pride and complacency, after all, the number of people on the other side is still far more than himself. The art of war says that if you double it, you will attack it. At present, there are 40,000 on the other side and 20,000 on his own, and the outcome is still unknown.

The archers at the forefront judged from their own experience whether they were within range or not, and for the musketeers, these enemies were already within range, but there was no hit rate at this distance, and it would be a big loss to start firing too early and the barrel would become hot and unable to continue firing.

Putting the enemy closer to fight, this is a problem that Lu Zhan emphasized several times during training before. The musketeers at the forefront wore their distinctive domed steel helmets and armor to resist the rain of arrows.

"Ready, put!" Seeing that the archers of the Zhi family were about to reach the range of their arrows, the musketeers began the first round of shooting. In order to prevent the chamber from overheating, the shooting efficiency is subjectively reduced.

With the roar of gunpowder explosions, the black projectiles hit a group of archers in the front row, and a thousand musket salvos finally hit only a few dozen people, and after the first volley, the soldiers behind launched a second volley.

Although the casualties caused were not large, the thunderous explosions and rising smoke awakened the fear of these Zhijia troops against the Yanzhou army. This rumor of the help of ghosts and gods once again affected the morale of these soldiers, but the heavy reward promised by the young master Zhiyu made these soldiers pluck up the courage to attack forward.

The archers and musketeers of the Yanzhou army poured their firepower incessantly, but they could continue to attack forward under the lure of heavy money and the urging of the overseers behind them.

The young leaves that had just grown on the grass were trampled by these soldiers, and looking at the Zhijia soldiers who were getting closer and closer, the musketeers kept reloading their ammunition and preparing to shoot.

The Zhijia soldiers who were hit fell to the ground in pain, and the comrades beside them had to avoid these comrades who were shot and fell to the ground, but they couldn't care about these comrades who were shot and fell to the ground as soon as they started to charge.

The gunpowder explosion produced smoke that made these Yanzhou soldiers only hear each other's shouts and could not see each other's figures. When it was estimated that the enemy army was about to approach, a group of Yanzhou soldiers with baskets lit the iron lumps in their hands with torches and threw them at each other.

Many of the Zhijia soldiers who charged were hit by the iron bumps thrown at them.

Zhiyu, who was far away from the battlefield, saw that the Yanzhou army suddenly threw out a black iron lump in the smoke, what kind of way did the Yanzhou army throw the iron lump.

The charging Zhijia army didn't care about these fiery iron lumps, but the iron lumps exploded a second later.

These soldiers with baskets to throw grenades are the grenadiers that Lu Zhan has just formed, and this iron lump is the primitive grenade wrapped in iron nails. The grenade was much more lethal than the muskets, and the soldiers around it were killed or wounded when the grenade exploded. Patches of area were emptied.

"Let the cavalry attack directly from both flanks!" Seeing that the Zhi family's army suddenly wavered, Lu Zhan immediately ordered the standard-bearer beside him to play a flag for the cavalry to attack.

Kill, with such a roar, the infantry standing behind the musketeers charged. The cavalry arranged on both flanks also began to attack.

The cavalry of the Zhi family also began to attack after seeing the cavalry of the Yanzhou army move. It's just that the goal of these cavalry is not to cooperate with the infantry, but to take land directly.

This shooter shoots the horse first, and the thief captures the king first. Coupled with the bounty offered by the young master Zhiyu, these cavalrymen kept urging this war horse.
