As soon as the artillery fire on the battleship stopped, Fang Guoan gradually came to his senses: the purpose of the Heavenly Mandate Army attacking the Ming army's camp with artillery was to force the officers and soldiers to retreat and make room for the landing of the Heavenly Mandate Army!

If the Mandate of Heaven Army landed on a large scale on the river embankment, the large battalion of officers and soldiers in the direction of the outer Jiujiang River would completely collapse, and not only Jiujiang City, but also Zuo Liangyu's large battalion would also be threatened.

Fang Guoan was shocked into a cold sweat, he reported to Zuo Liangyu while organizing the soldiers to return north, wanting to recapture the river embankment.

But the soldiers were frightened by the artillery of the Mandate of Heaven Army, and when they heard that they were going to return to fight a decisive battle with the Mandate of Heaven Army, they grinded one by one, and Fang Guoan was angry and cut off the heads of the two soldiers with his own hands, which stabilized the morale of the army.

But in this way, a lot of time has been delayed, and as soon as the Ming army turned around and completed the formation, the figure of the Heavenly Mandate Army appeared in their eyes, and the Heavenly Mandate Army, which rushed over quickly, had already crossed the remaining camp of the Ming army.

When Fang Guoan saw it, he was immediately anxious, and if he lost his position easily, he would definitely be punished by Zuo Liangyu! The Mandate of Heaven has just landed, and its footsteps have not yet been established, so there should still be a possibility of retaking the position.

This place is far away from the river embankment, it should be outside the range of the artillery of the Heavenly Mandate Army, so I don't have to worry about the artillery of the Tianming Army!

Song Wen was caught among the soldiers, and when he saw the Ming army going and returning, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he immediately sent out a military order to let the soldiers list the defensive formation.

Although the soldiers were marching at high speed, the 7th Battalion was one of the earliest veterans to be formed, and the orders were effective, and they quickly formed a battle formation of three platoons.

Fang Guoan took a closer look, the number of the Heavenly Mandate Army was only 10,000 people, which was much less than the number of officers and soldiers, and he was a little relieved in his heart, and let out a loud shout, letting the soldiers kill with all their might.

Under the persecution of Fang Guoan, the Ming army rushed forward one by one shouting, just now in the big camp, being bullied by the artillery of the Mandate of Heaven Army, there should be no artillery, right? Some "smart" soldiers, however, kept an eye on it, and when the Mandate of Heaven Army was defeated, don't chase after it, the big ships of the Mandate of Heaven Army are waiting by the river......

The two armies are not far apart, and the Ming army wants to avenge the shame just now, and they have already used all their strength without Fang Guoan's urging.

Song Wen originally didn't plan to use mountain artillery, on the frontal battlefield, rifles were the most efficient at killing, but the Metropolitan Governor had already told him that there was likely to be a larger battle today, and Zuo Liangyu's 200,000 army was not far from the rear, so he could take it easy!

In the flanks and rear of the position, the gunners have already loaded, unloaded, calibrated the mountain guns, and are waiting for them at any time!

When the Ming army entered the firing range of the Heavenly Mandate Army, Song Wen issued an order that the distance between the mountain artillery and the Ming army should not be too far, otherwise the mountain artillery would protrude in front of the position, exposing the artillery to the threat of the Ming army.

It's not good to be too close, after all, the accuracy of the mountain cannon is not as good as the rifle, and the deviation of the flowering bullet is dozens of paces and hundreds, which is a common thing, if you wait until the Ming army enters the range of the rifle and then fire, it is very likely to hurt your own people.

Song Wen did not keep it, forty mountain cannons, all on the battlefield, and forty flowering shells were fired in the first wave.

There are 20,000 soldiers in the Ming army, and when they run, they cover a larger area, that is, they don't need to calibrate, and they can shoot out forty flowering bullets at will, and most of them will fall in the crowd.

The Ming army was hit head-on, and almost all of the forty flowering bombs bloomed in the crowd, Fang Guoan was taken aback at first, and when the flowering bombs exploded, he saw the landing point of the flowering bombs, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although the number of flowering shells is very large, compared with the frightening flowering shells just now, it is simply an itch for officers and soldiers!

In the large camp just now, not only did a large crater appear on the ground where the Heavenly Mandate Army's flowering bullets landed, but dozens of soldiers around it were affected, and the number of casualties reached at least ten.

But now this kind of flowering bomb fell to the ground, and after the explosion, only a small crater was left on the ground, and there were only three or five soldiers killed or wounded.

It seems that Zhu Xianzhen has said goodbye, and the firearms of the Heavenly Mandate Army have not made significant progress!

It's no wonder, with the comparison just now, Fang Guoan is not only not afraid of the current flowering bomb, but has a trace of contempt from the bottom of his heart.

Looking at the frightened soldiers, he snorted coldly and shouted: "Don't pay attention to the gadgets of the Heavenly Mandate Army, march quickly, as long as you get close to the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army, this kind of little play will be useless!" ”

The herald's words as a national security were quickly conveyed to the whole army, and the soldiers who were still a little worried were all holding their heads up, and the adults said it well, this is indeed a gadget, it seems that the Heavenly Mandate Army has exhausted its donkey skills, as long as it survives this distance, it is when he raises the butcher's knife, none of these thieves on the opposite side can run away!

Fang Guoan's words aroused the morale of the Ming army, and one by one shouted and pounced on the Heavenly Mandate Army opposite, the Heavenly Mandate Army seemed to be frightened by the momentum of the Ming Army, crouching on the ground, not daring to move.

Flowering bullet meteor shower, accompanied by the sprinting Ming army all the way, but these Ming troops seem to have beaten duck blood, and they can't even see the casualties around them, in their eyes, there is only the front, only the stupid Mandate of Heaven Army!

No one knows how many casualties the Ming army had, the galloping momentum has covered everything, and even when the mountain artillery stopped firing, it was ignored by the Ming army.

Fang Guoan was at the rear of the team, but he could see it clearly, he knew in his heart that the officers and soldiers would soon be strangled with the Heavenly Mandate Army, and if they continued to fire flowering shells, it would not only be a waste, but also very likely to hurt the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army.

The Ming army stared at the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army in front of them while running, their eyes were red, like male wolves catching prey, the only wish in their hearts was that the prey should not wake up too early, and when they leaned over, they would wake up, and it would be too late......

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The sound of popping beans suddenly sounded in their ears, and the soldiers had no intention of looking for the source of this sound.

The eyes were black, the body was soft, the hands were slowly drooping, and the legs seemed to be tightly grasped by a pair of big hands, and they couldn't move a bit!

In just a moment, the soldier's figure suddenly froze, and the formation in front of him also froze.

Then there was a "poof" sound, and the soldiers fell to the ground one after another, breaking blood lines one after another, allowing their companions behind them to step on the corpses......

Most of these soldiers of the Ming army are new recruits, and they have not participated in the battles of Yuncheng and Zhuxian Town, even if there are a small number of veterans, they do not know the power of the rifles of the Heavenly Mandate Army, they have been inspired by Fang Guoan's huge fighting spirit, how can they be stopped by the small casualties and setbacks in front of them?

There was no order to retreat, and the soldiers marched bravely!

The soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven didn't feel anything, they had always looked at no one, before the battle began, they all measured the distance of the enemy soldiers in their hearts, and when they pulled the trigger and fired the only moment of bullet in their rifles, they stepped up their reloading and prepared for the next wave of shooting!

The battle formation composed of countless rifles has always been a huge and invisible meat grinder, whether it is livestock or enemy soldiers, as long as they fall into the firepower network created by the gunners of the Mandate of Heaven, no one has a chance to escape, and it is only a matter of time before they become corpses and meat foam on the battlefield.

I don't know how long it took, the Ming army suffered more than half of the casualties, but it couldn't break forward half a step!

Fang Guoan was far away, but he also saw that the war was unfavorable, and there were no exact figures, but the heavy casualties among the officers and soldiers were already a sure thing.

He stared at him, thinking of the battle in Zhuxian Town that day.

Officers and soldiers occupy a huge advantage in numbers, and the Heavenly Mandate Army confronted Zhuxian Town for several days, Zuo Liangyu when the officers and soldiers have not yet shown their defeat, but they retreated without authorization, and was ambushed by the Heavenly Mandate Army, suffering heavy casualties, 130,000 troops, only 25,000 were left when they returned to Xiangyang......

The combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Mandate Army is so sharp, no wonder Zuo Liangyu was unwilling to fight to the death with the Heavenly Mandate Army that day!

The battle time was too short, and the casualties among officers and soldiers were too great!

What made Fang Guoan most embarrassed and indignant was that the number of officers and soldiers was fully twice that of the Heavenly Mandate Army, occupying a huge advantage, but he could not see a glimmer of hope of victory.

It's totally beaten!

This is not a battle, but a massacre, a massacre of officers and soldiers by the Mandate of Heaven!

From the moment the ships of the Mandate of Heaven appeared on the surface of the Jiujiang River, the Mandate of Heaven Army has been slaughtering officers and soldiers, but the officers and soldiers have no ability to fight back, and the sooner they die, the sooner they die.

Do you want to withdraw troops?

Just when Fang Guoan was hesitating, the ground suddenly darkened in front of him, and a blue-gray floating cloud appeared on the ground!

How did the clouds fall to the ground?

Fang Guoan rubbed his eyes, took a closer look, and was taken aback: countless Heavenly Mandate troops were coming from both sides of the battlefield......

He finally understood why Zuo Liangyu took the initiative to retreat in Zhuxian Town that day, otherwise, none of his soldiers would be able to go back!

If you continue to fight with this wolf-like Destiny Army, there will definitely be no good end.

He simply didn't think about the consequences, hurriedly gave the order to withdraw the troops, and rushed to the Chinese army camp in the rear.

Song Wen found that the Ming army was about to flee, and he was shocked, how long has it been, the Ming army is about to retreat, do you want to fight? If you don't want to fight, why do you come to the vicinity of the Mandate of Heaven?

He didn't have time to think about it, he shot some Ming troops first, and when he saw that the Ming army began to leave the battlefield, he hurriedly passed the order to let the gunners raise their guns and expand the range, and then pursued the Ming army.

Although the speed of running is not necessarily slower than that of the Ming army, the gunners have to pursue on the one hand, and reload bullets on the other, so they have to keep stopping, and the overall marching speed is naturally slowed down.

Song Wen pursued for less than a mile, then ordered the troops to withdraw, leaving the task of pursuit to the brothers of the Fengtian battalion in the flank, the soldiers of the seventh battalion, and quickly cleaned up the battlefield just now.

The soldiers of the Mukden battalion shouted and crossed from both sides, and the soldiers of the seventh battalion, who did not even have time to echo, were busy harvesting the wounded.

The battle is not over, and the wounded soldiers must be mended as soon as possible, lest they take advantage of the chaos and escape.

Zuo Liangyu heard that the Mandate of Heaven Army was attacking the Ming army's camp on the river embankment, knowing that the situation was urgent, he hurriedly ordered 100,000 troops and came to the river embankment to check, he didn't think about it, and he didn't expect to defeat the Mandate of Heaven Army, as long as the 20,000 soldiers of the Fang State Security Department were brought back, it was thank God.
