With Xiao Tianjian's order, a long trombone sound immediately sounded in the Chinese army, this trombone sound is low, but it is shocking, it can be transmitted to a long distance on the battlefield, with the sound of the trombone, the various phalanxes that are marching, but in the order of the officers, they began to stop one after another, keeping a reasonable distance from each other, forming a large array of scales, and the front line also stretched, forming a width of several miles, covering the entire Hedgehog gathered together to usher in the Jiannu army.

The artillery of the accompanying army was unified and assembled, including all the cannons, including the three-pounder guns, were assembled into three artillery groups, which were placed in the army in a zigzag shape on the battle line, forming a control over the entire battlefield, and the chariots of the baggage battalion also stopped at the two wings of the army, and were immediately placed horizontally and overlapped with each other, quickly forming a solid car battalion defense line on the two wings, which greatly reduced the threat of the cavalry of the Jiannu Army to the impact on the two wings.

The artillerymen were probably the busiest people at this time, and after they were ordered to stop advancing, they took off the mules and horses that were pulling the cannons at a very fast speed, and quickly brought them to the back of the artillery team, and handed them over to the care of special soldiers, and at the same time took the cannons off the ammunition trucks, and immediately pushed them to the front, and placed them on the gun emplacements designated by the officers, and there were special gunners responsible for unloading the ammunition on the ammunition trucks, as well as the accessories of various cannons, in order to dazzle people's movements, As if by magic, he placed the cannons on the position, and in just a moment, he was ready to fire.

Although the twelve-pounder cannon is very heavy, but under the service of more than 20 gunners, it was also quickly placed behind the artillery array, such a cannon is a very terrible weapon of destruction on the battlefield, the longest range can hit a solid cannonball four or five miles away, and the effective range is also close to about two miles, if you shoot a scattered bullet, a cannon blasted out, it is hundreds of projectiles, and at a distance of three or four hundred paces, it can almost cover an area as large as a basketball court, so this thing is generally They were all used as siege guns by the Dazhong Army, but this time they were also ordered by Xiao Tianjian to act with the army, and they were pulled over to temporarily use as a field artillery.

Fortunately, even Xiao Tianjian didn't have much of this thing at this time, and their main artillery was still six-pounder and eight-pounder guns, which were less powerful than twelve-pounder guns, but when used as field guns, they were also not easy to provoke.

As for the three-pounder gun, it belongs to the battalion level of the direct artillery, the power is not great, the range is also limited, but that also depends on what kind of artillery compared, although the three-pounder gun range is limited, but the effective range of three or four hundred meters, or far more than the general old artillery, and the artillery accuracy is very high, now the well-trained gunners in the large Chinese army can use this three-pounder gun to directly hit the target the size of two door panels at a distance of 200 paces, almost can be accurate shelling of the point.

As the god of war, Xiao Tianjian can be said to have poured a lot of effort into his artillery construction, and a considerable part of the silver consumed by weapons and equipment in the large Chinese army was spent on these cannons, so that their artillery construction, by this time, has been perfected day by day, and can be called the god of war.

After the three artillery battalions were deployed, they quickly prepared for the bombardment, and at this time, the Jiannu on the Abatai side was still on the opposite side, and the only small number of artillery pieces had not yet been deployed.

It is said that Xiao Tianjian killed Tongzhou City so secretly, it really killed Abatai and their gang of Jiannu, Abatai is sending troops to attack Tongzhou City, and the limited artillery brought by the army is basically pulled to bombard Tongzhou City, and it cannot be withdrawn for a while, so in Abatai's army, there are not many cannons at this time, but it is quite troublesome to spread out with a few cannons, so after the two armies approached a distance of hundreds of paces, Jiannu saw that the Dazhong Army took the initiative to stop advancing and began to line up, They also hurriedly began to set up a formation to fight, but unfortunately their deployment speed could not catch up with the speed of the large Chinese army, which had maintained a neat formation, and it was much messier in comparison, and this morale was suppressed by the large Chinese army at once.

Xiao Tianjian didn't tell Jiannu about any war etiquette, the big array had already been lined up, so he ordered to start shelling, not giving the Jiannu army enough time to react, the three artillery battalions began to fire almost at the same time, and suddenly the artillery camp position of the Dazhong Army was like a volcano erupting, and all kinds of artillery began to ignite one after another, and all kinds of shells roared towards the Jiannu army.

Some of the Jiannu soldiers looked at the cannon fire of the opposite Dazhong Army with a pale face, and suddenly there was a sense of powerlessness in their hearts, they could almost see the cannonballs fired by the Dazhong Army with the naked eye, flying across the sky in the air, and began to fall towards them in a semi-arc, but they had no possibility of dodging, once they dodged, the entire large array would immediately be chaotic, in the strict military law of the Jiannu Army, those who acted without authorization in the formation were capital crimes, so they only watched the cannonballs fall blankly, Smashed heavily in their crowd, suddenly in their crowd opened a bloody alley, the cannonball landed after castration, in the Jiannu army of the soldiers, jumping and continuing to fly, because of the long time does not rain, at this time the land outside Tongzhou City is stiff, just for the shell to bounce to provide favorable conditions, the result of the shelling effect is excellent, a round of salvo down, it killed more than 100 Jiannu generals, the highest one a second-class armor Lazhangjing, also became the victim of this first round of shelling, Half of his head was cut off by a cannonball, and he was planted off his horse.

Abatai and Hauge were very frightened, they didn't expect the Great Chinese Army to line up and fire artillery so quickly, they didn't even give them time to arrange a large formation, so they began to bombard them, and the opponent's artillery was very numerous, this was the first round of artillery bombardment, which caused them a lot of casualties, so Abatai urgently ordered each flank to send out an Aliha Chaoha battalion, immediately launched an impact on the Great Chinese Army, contained the artillery bombardment of the Great Chinese Army, disrupted the position of the Great Chinese Army, and covered their main force to attack the Great Chinese Army.

Abatai is not stupid, he can also see that they are currently in an absolute disadvantage, if they really put the column and the big middle army to fight, their guns are not people's at all, so they can't stop and fight head-on with the big middle army, but to give full play to their strong assault ability, take the initiative to attack, in order to break the opposite side of the big middle army front.

In Abatai's view, although the array of the Great Chinese Army is neat, but it is relatively thin, and the width of the open is too wide, so that the whole front is relatively weak, if he can supervise the army to take the initiative to attack, directly into the large Chinese army front, he can tear the Great Chinese Army apart, and then fight in close combat, give full play to their advantages, they still hope to win this battle.

So he didn't dare to delay any longer, while sending the cavalry on both wings to attack, and at the same time urgently ordered the infantry troops in the central position to also begin to march forward in formation, attacking the right flank of the Great Chinese Army, and at the same time sending people to order the rest of the Jiannu Army that had not yet assembled and evacuated from the city of Tongzhou, and also quickly assembled and marched towards the battlefield, reinforcing his main force, striving to give full play to their advantages and break down the front of the Great Chinese Army.

Abatai's choice is undoubtedly very correct, in history, they Jiannu in the war with the Ming army, often at a disadvantage in terms of troops, but the soldiers of the Jiannu army can often play their brave and good fighting style, concentrating troops to assault the Ming army's large array, and the Ming army is often disagreed, morale is not high, often can not withstand the impact of the Jiannu army, the result is that the Ming army equipment and troops occupy an absolute advantage, but often by the Jiannu army to break through, and finally the Jiannu army is defeated and lost, and even the whole army is annihilated.

Therefore, Abatai was accustomed to using this method to deal with the Han barbarians they looked down on, thinking that since their tactics were effective against the Ming army, then it should also be effective against the Dazhong army, which was also a Han barbarian, not to mention that the front of the Dazhong Army was obviously relatively thin, and it was more suitable for them to use this method to charge the battle, and eventually tear apart the large formation of the Dazhong Army.

But he forgot that the biggest difference between the Dazhong Army and the Ming Army is that the officers of the Dazhong Army are not the generals of the Ming Army, they are all small warlord groups, and they will only care about protecting themselves, so they will leave the battlefield without regard for the overall situation, the entire Dazhong Army is a whole, there is no small group at all, although the Dazhong Army has now been divided into several towns with the town army as a unit, but the officers of the Dazhong Army will never develop into a warlord group under the military system set up by Xiao Tianjian, even if it is possible, But it was many years later!

Xiao Tianjian calmly watched the artillery bombardment on the battlefield ahead, and expressed his satisfaction with the effect of the first round of shelling, the landing point of the shells basically covered the formation of the Jiannu army, even if there were no hits, most of them were near-arrow shells, which were not too outrageous.

Therefore, he nodded slightly and expressed satisfaction with the artillery shelling, but demanded that the next round of artillery bombardment must be more ruthless and accurate.

But immediately he found that the Jiannu army had taken action, so he immediately looked towards the Jiannu army again, and when he saw the cavalry of the two Jiannu army killed out and attacked the two wings of his large Chinese army, he laughed, this Abatai is very cute, and he is very good at playing cards according to the routine, but he also doesn't look at it, there are two car battalions on both wings of the large Chinese army as a line of defense, and he sent two cavalry teams of less than 3,000 people, so he wants to achieve results, isn't this the same as sending him to death?

So he didn't even bother to give an order, just let the generals below deal with the situation on their own, and Li Dingguo and Yan Shuting on both wings would deal with the situation.

(Since the change to a daily shift, there must be many brothers who are unhappy, but please forgive me, the cold wind is really not idle, now every day in addition to reading books is to conceive, or to check a large amount of information, in preparation for the opening of new books!) The working hours are almost fifteen or sixteen hours a day, which is not easy! This is inevitable for every writer, when a book is nearing completion, it will take a lot of energy and time to put a lot of energy and time on the new book, especially for the author of history, and it is necessary to prepare a large amount of information, so please don't be angry!
