The 200,000 army drove hundreds of giant elephants to rush over, and the power was indeed a bit scary, but Zhu Cijiong was not frightened, he was just stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly ordered: "Order the infantry on the left and right flanks to dense in a phalanx in the front row of the shield wall, shoot in sections, and let the rear row artillery rack guns be loaded with scattered bombs and bombard the front." “

The order flag waved, and the lineup of the Ming army immediately changed, and the infantry on both sides quickly moved closer to the middle, row after row in front of the shield wall, and the cannons in the back row that originally planned to move forward also began to put down the brackets and quickly set them up.

As soon as the Donghu army rushed out less than 100 steps, the hundreds of cannons erected by the Ming army first remembered to roar, but the shells did not fly to the charging Donghu army, but fell into the artillery array in the rear of the army.

Ping Dali, who was following behind the army, glanced back at his own artillery array, and showed a happy look on his face, thinking: "It's okay, it's okay, this Ming army commander doesn't know the power of the giant elephant, and he actually let the artillery bombard the artillery array behind, but he doesn't know how to bombard the elephant soldiers in front, boom, boom, as soon as the elephant soldiers rush in, you will be finished!" “

Did the elephant soldiers rush in? He seems to have forgotten that the Ming army has more than just artillery, and one legion has more than that, but now it is two legions and more than a thousand artillery!

As soon as the Donghu army rushed out less than a mile, the Ming army remembered the terrible roar, more than a thousand artillery pieces were fired at the same time, the sound was simply shaking, tens of thousands of scattered bombs were like a dark cloud covering the 200,000 Donghu army, and countless blood flowers broke out in the Donghu army in an instant, and the screams were endless.

Pindari was lucky, running at the rear, and the shells didn't sweep him, but at this time, he was already scared stupid, how could the Ming army have so many artillery!

The last time the Guanning army relieved the siege of Dacheng, there were less than 500 artillery pieces, and they used solid bullets, although the rate of fire was amazing, and the shells were the same as rain, but where was the "raindrop" so dense, and he didn't know that there was such a thing as scattered bullets, because the Dutch and the British only supplied them with solid bullets.

After a round of artillery fire, although the Donghu army was a little scattered, they did not stop charging, because they all knew that it would take time to reload the artillery, and they would be able to rush through it with one or two rounds at most.

It does take time to reload artillery, but the Ming army not only has artillery, but also the speed at which the Ming army loads artillery is amazing, they continue to rush less than a hundred steps, and there is a terrible roar, and it is a dark cloud of shells, and tens of thousands of people have been killed and wounded, and even some giant elephants have been bombed down!

It was only a little more than a mile away, that is, four or five hundred steps, Pindari didn't know if it was too frightened or it was so fierce, he ordered like a madman: "Rush, continue to rush, dare to take a step back, kill without mercy!" “

When the generals received the order, they had no choice but to lead their troops forward, completely ignoring casualties.

However, the distance of this mile is so far away, as if "out of reach", they just finished three rounds of shells, and finally rushed to a place more than 100 steps away from the Ming army, the Ming army's muskets began to rain bullets again, the musket loading speed is much faster than the artillery, and the Ming soldiers have a musket, and even more than half of them are revolver rifles, rows of rounds of shooting, the bullet rain has not stopped at all!

At this time, the Donghu army was already in chaos, and the middle was pushed by the people behind and had to rush forward, and the two wings had already begun to break and flee.

Their nightmare did not end, most of the men and horses in the middle rushed to less than fifty steps away from the Ming army, the Ming army suddenly flew out of the array of countless grenades, "boom boom" this wave down, the middle of the tens of thousands of people who were pushed up almost no one was not injured, the Donghu army finally collapsed, the people in front desperately squeezed to the back, and the people behind began to scatter and flee.

Zhu Cijiong saw this scene from the telescope, and was not overjoyed, he remembered the scenes in some movies in later generations, how similar this is to the rout of the Qing army, he shook his head and sighed, and then ordered: "Order the cavalry to attack, and order the Tianxiong army and the Guanning army to start closing the net." “

Soon, the sound of rolling horses' hooves sounded on both wings of the Ming army, and the 80,000 cavalry rushed towards the scattered Donghu army like two torrents, and the battle was over.

In this battle, the Ming army did not have any casualties, and Zhu Cijiong did not have time to take care of the specific casualties of the Donghu army, when the operation to clear the deserters was almost carried out, he immediately ordered that Lu Xiangsheng and the first army of the Qin Liangyu Praetorian Guard, the Tianxiong Army, the Guanning Army, and the 180,000 cavalry of the Dongjiang Army brought half a month's worth of dry food, and under the guidance of the Siamese guide, went straight to Donghu City, to surround Donghu City, and not let him run away.

And he took Cao Wenzhao, personally led the 150,000 infantry artillery of the First Army of the Praetorian Guard, the Tianxiong Army, and the Guanning Army to escort 30,000 uninjured Donghu prisoners, with grain and grass, and then set off. As for the cleaning of the battlefield, it was left to Mao Wenlong and the remaining 70,000 Dongjiang Army infantry artillery.

The road from this big city to Donghu was really not easy to walk, and the 180,000 cavalry did not bring any food and grass baggage, and it took nearly five days to arrive when they advanced lightly.

However, at this time, King Ta Long had not received the news of the defeat at the front, and he didn't think about the problem of escaping at all, he just closed the city gate and looked at the 180,000 Ming cavalry outside in horror, completely unaware of where they came from.

After 180,000 cavalrymen slept in the open air, and after being trapped on the outskirts of Donghu City for eight or nine days, the infantry artillery led by Zhu Cijiong finally arrived.

The two armies will be divided for a while, and the dangerous trick of capturing the thief and capturing the king first is almost completed, and the only thing left is to force the king of Ta Long in the city, which is actually not very difficult, at this point, even if he is the king of Long refuses to surrender, it will not take much time for the Ming army to attack Donghu City.

Zhu Cijiong did not rush to action after rushing to the outside of Donghu City, he first ordered more than 40,000 cavalry in the south of the city to receive heavy supplies and send them to the east, west and north of the city, so that they could camp respectively, and then ordered 150,000 infantry to set up a large camp in the south of the city and rest for a day.

The next day, he ordered all the artillery to pull more than 3,000 cannons to the south of the city and line them up, while all the infantry carried 30,000 prisoners on both sides.

In this formation, King Ta Long in the frightened city was about to pee his pants, you must know that now the defenders of Donghu City are less than 100,000, and the artillery is less than 50, and the army in the south of the city alone is enough to make him desperate.

Zhu Cijiong's intimidation was not over, he first ordered all the artillery to fire three rounds of salvos, although the overwhelming shells did not enter the city, but they shot the Donghu soldiers who defended the city.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Cijiong ordered 30,000 prisoners to line up in front of the artillery array, and the crown prince of Donghu was kidnapped by Wuhuada at the forefront.

In the end, he had the message of surrender shot into the city, and the content of the letter was very simple: let the king of Ta Long go out of the city within an hour and ask for surrender, otherwise he would drive the captives to be used as meat shields and attack the city!

What else is there to think about in the face of this situation, it doesn't take an hour, less than half an hour later, the south gate of Donghu City was opened, and King Talong walked out with a hundred civil and military officials in fear, and Donghu finally descended!
