Earth-shattering gunshots followed.

'Not true! ’

After the gunshot, Li Wenxiao watched the war elephant in front of him turn around in an extremely exaggerated posture, and there was still a large blur of flesh and blood on the front door, which looked extremely hideous when mixed with the armor.

In the distance, a cloud of white smoke also rose from the front of the thief, and the huge sound seemed to sound from both ends of the battle formation at the same time.

The opposite side also opened fire, and Li Van Hyo quickly came to a conclusion, but the Australian offensive did not stop, and the next two rounds of fire did not seem to stop at all, and the already wounded war elephants no longer had the urge to move forward after this sudden heavy loss, but all turned around and rushed back towards their own front.

The poor sword players who were guarding the war elephants still wanted to stop them, but immediately a few of them were crushed into pulp by the huge figures of rage, and the Quang Nam army fell to the ground on the way forward.

The earth, which had been exposed to the scorching sun for several days, suddenly rose with billowing smoke and dust.

Li Wenxiao secretly said that it was not good, and he did not wait for the order, so he beckoned several of his strange township party members to hurriedly run back, their position was too high. The thief looked like a thin line of defense, but he didn't expect it to have such might, and the well-trained war elephant did not play any role, so he rushed his own people first. What's even more terrifying is that this war elephant is different from the war horse, and there is no fear of the spear queue in formation, and when Li Wenxiao retreated with his people, three spear teams have already been scattered by the war elephant.

Li Zhuya easily controlled his mount, suppressed his panicked mind, and looked meaningfully in the direction of the thief battle line. It seemed that the enemy was still too underestimated, he thought so, and only then did he feel that it was really a bit risky to deceive the distance to the edge of the range on the opposite side, and this time the accuracy of the opposite side was better, and he suffered a lot of losses. But the estimation of the thief's firepower is still too great, and he didn't expect that the armored war elephant would really be injured by the opponent's firearms at such a distance.

Five or six elephants seemed to be frightened, and they ran straight to the rear, and three of them had already fallen on the side of the road.

suffered a loss, and this time naturally has to be recovered.

Li Zhuya hurriedly asked the guards around him to blow the horn, wanting to regroup the remaining war elephants.

But the backers in front of him were obviously no longer going to give him this opportunity.

While Li Zhuya was regrouping at what he thought was a safe distance, the soldiers of the Beiwei Army on the opposite side were also nervously adjusting the ruler under the orders of their commander.

Since graduating from the military academy, Zhu Daizhen has gone through dozens of military operations before accumulating merit to become this commander, although he was sent to garrison the most inconspicuous Jiulongjiang Plain, and also experienced the previous months of 'repair', but Zhu Daizhen was not discouraged. Among the cadets of their year, there were those who entered the staff officer sequence because of their outstanding achievements, and there were those who were left by their side to teach them by virtue of their own efforts, but Zhu Daizhen did not envy those classmates except for blessings, and he liked the feeling on the battlefield with his down-to-earth personality, just like now.

He dragged his voice and shouted, "Two hundred meters of ruler...... Raise your gun...... Aim for ......"

"Fire!"

The hoarse voice exuded a frenzy, and even the palms that were sweaty from the initial nervousness no longer felt slippery, and the command knife pointed straight out in the direction of the enemy.

Another loud bang echoed in the air, and from his position, he could clearly see that the queue of war elephants that was about to finish the whole team was in a commotion again, faintly unstable, and it seemed that the hit effect was good.

Although in the earlier battle manual, the chief repeatedly emphasized the danger of the Annan war elephant, and made him sweat with the handle of the command knife in the first field battle against the opponent, now in the face of such a situation, the whole person is much more relaxed.

But that's it. He sneered in his heart, but he didn't hold it up.

The chief once told them that this Annan country called itself Little China, and it was the most arrogant in the South Seas, and this time the barbarians everywhere rose up to respond to it seems that the monarchs and ministers of Guangnan have picked it up, and Guangnan himself has gathered tens of thousands, looking like he wants to search the mountains and seas. However, for a long time before, the enemy army was confined to the mountain passes in the north and could not advance an inch, and the result of the first encounter between the great war and the trust in the chief in the past completely concealed that suspicion.

Li Zhuya was not able to stabilize the queue until he drove the war elephant five hundred steps away, and his heart was already shocked.

The thief's musket could shoot so far, which was never expected, either because the previous information was wrong, or it was put on the spot, if the latter, it would be unknown who was behind it.

But Li Zhuya's thinking didn't last long, and a sharper sound of breaking the sky sounded overhead.

As if sensing a threat, the elephants, who had just been lightly wounded, became agitated again, and this time before they could turn around, the shotgun exploded above Li Zhuya's head.

It wasn't until the rain of bullets fell into the crowd that Li Zhuya realized that it was a cannonball that attacked them that could explode in the air on its own, which was really unheard of, and this cannon was probably fired from a farther away, because both the scout and his own pro-army had already explored the vicinity before, and did not find any gun positions, and listening to the sound of this cannon seemed to be extremely far away, I am afraid that there are only the fortresses of the thieves who can have gun positions nearby.

Could it be that during the rainy season, the guns in those forts deliberately hid their range? Considering that the nearest thief fortress was two or three miles away, the range and accuracy were a bit sensational.

'How far can a thief's firearm go?' ’

This question haunted Li Zhuya throughout the process of withdrawing from the front line, until a piece of shotgun landed on his elephant saddle, which brought General Quang Nam's thinking to an end.

…………

Ruan Bicheng followed the bad guys in the mountains and forests in the distance to watch the whole process of this initial formation, and he was still shocked until the short confrontation ended for a long time.

In the past, the invincible war elephant army in Quang Nam was quickly defeated without even touching the hastily completed trench wall of the Australians, and they didn't even feel how fierce the battle situation was.

Ruan Bicheng had heard of the combat power of the Australians, whether it was immigrants from the south or Pei Dongzhu's statement, but the strength was still greatly beyond his expectations, but it also strengthened his desire to join this army.

He originally wanted to watch the battle with the army, but the chief did not fulfill his wish, and instead sent him a more special errand.

The bad guys are being indigenously adapted, and weapons for special operations are also being specially developed, which are naturally much worse than those used by the veterans, but they are also more than a little stronger than ordinary armies. Although it is not easy to hand over the weapon to a newcomer, it is still possible to let him observe the battlefield with a telescope. In fact, Xie Ming fell in love with him at a glance, because of his physical strength to travel long distances, his attitude of being loyal to the ministry, and of course, his excellent observation skills.

There were only ten people in his team, and each of them had all kinds of oil paint painted on their faces, which looked quite funny, but when he was marching in the forest, he immediately discovered the subtlety, and in a trance, the people seemed to be integrated with the surrounding scenery, which was better than the scouts of the Guangnan army, and the chiefs were indeed quite skilled in the details.

At present, Ruan Bicheng's position is not close to the battlefield, but it is expected that the telescope will help, and he will also have a full view of the situation on the battlefield.

There was a warmth over his shoulder, and a broad palm pressed against it.

"What's going on on the other side?" The voice was equally kind.

"Looking back, the Quang Nam Army is in chaos."

"I said earlier, there is no need to be formal in the army, although you have not yet joined the army, you are also a member of our team, and you must speak concisely in the future."

"Ming...... I see. ”

Ruan Bicheng was a little restrained, because just now, he saw with his own eyes that the fortress artillery emplacement, which was several miles away, was under the command of this chief, and the war elephants that had reassembled were hit. The Australian didn't know what means he used, but he was able to transmit sound through the air, which greatly surprised him. Originally, he only thought that this bad guy was like the brave man in the Guangnan army, who did the thing of cutting off the enemy's grain route and assassinating the leader, but he didn't expect that he could still use it as the glasses of this cannon, which really opened his eyes.

However, his mind turned, but there was no obstacle in doing things, he continued to look at the picture in the telescope, and told the original situation to other people, of course, the bad people themselves did not have another observation post to verify Ruan Bicheng's words, judging from the smile shown by the elder, he was quite satisfied with his observation and expression ability, and his heart gradually no longer contradicted Xie Ming's whim arrangement.

…………

At this moment, in front of the Quang Nam Army, people were neighing on their horses, and Ruan Fuyu looked at Li Zhuya's corpse, his face was extremely gloomy.

"The thief's firearms are really so powerful?" He asked the soldier kneeling in front of him almost word for word.

"Back to the words of the little grandfather." Li Wenxiao was among these sergeants, looking quite embarrassed, because he ran fast, but caused new trouble, he talked for a long time, and finally made it clear, "The thief has a sharp firearm." ”

"Childe, the second son is here." At this moment, the guards around him approached and said, Ruan Fuyu was impatient, but he still waved his hand to send away the defeated soldiers who replied, and Li Van Xiao was like being amnestied.

Before the Nguyen Phuc Lan people arrived, they heard the news of Le Zhuya's death and the defeat at the front, as if they had heard some good news. But Ruan Chaowen, who was following beside him, had an equally gloomy face.

Seeing Ruan Chaowen there, Ruan Fuyu eased up on his face, this person is not Ruan Fulan's private person, and the situation will not be too ugly with him.

Li Wenxiao was recruited back again, and re-told the original story of the first battle in front of Ruan Chaowen, and the young man next to Ruan Chaowen listened attentively, but his brows gradually twisted together as he spoke.

"Da Lang, are you sure that you will go next time?" Ruan Chaowen asked the young man.

"I'm not sure." The young man who just passed the martial arts last year is young and vigorous, but it does not mean that he has no common sense, and after seeing the tragic situation of the defeated soldiers, no one dares to hold it up, but this statement is not afraid, he then said: "However, my son is not impossible to try." ”

The corners of Ruan Chaowen's mouth curled, he glanced at this son more, and then said: "You go and prepare, the elite of the forward battalion is at your disposal, and take the token for your father." ”

"Okay." Ruan Fulan was also overjoyed when he heard this, "I will also personally lead the internal steps to suppress the battle for the little general." ”

Ruan Fuyu frowned, and said in his heart that he was farting, where is this to suppress the formation, it is obviously to pick peaches, but seeing that Ruan Chaowen did not refuse, he didn't want to say anything more.

Looking at his son's distant back, Ruan Chaowen sighed secretly in his heart, hoping that he would not be disappointed this time, but now it seems that the strength of the thief was only the tip of the iceberg in the past, and it has gradually been revealed that this old minister of Guangnan has a lot of worries.

Half an hour later, the three thousand elites in Ruan Youyi's hands were all lined up in armor, and the Portuguese musketeers also followed his banner team, and at the forefront of this slowly advancing army was the Champa king Bharati and his personal ministers, who were once again forced to rush to the front as 'cannon fodder', the difference is that the war elephants that the city is proud of are not at all, and they are all replaced by foot soldiers, and the strange thing is that these Cham foot soldiers are not equipped with swords and cards, but a bundle of firewood and grass in their hands, which is the method of breaking the enemy under Ruan Youyi's special explanation.

More than a mile behind the infantry array, Xie Ming was standing at the head of the fortress wall, holding a high-powered telescope, and the situation in front of him was vivid.

The Quang Nam Army seemed to have learned wisely this time, not only was the attacking queue extremely scattered, but the soldiers at the front also lit cigarettes everywhere, and the thick smoke obscured the view, making it difficult to observe, and even the bad guys who were ambushed in the forest ahead could no longer provide accurate guidance to the artillery.

Xie Ming barely thought about it, so he ordered: "Let the spacecraft rise into the air, inform all combat units of the enemy situation at any time, and guide the fire projection." ”

It didn't take long for the Cham soldiers who were at the forefront of the line to see several hideous-looking monsters rising in the sky in front of them.

"What's that?"

Ruan Youyi also saw the balloon that lifted off, and the pattern on it made him uneasy, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and a bad premonition rose.
