Although Li Xiuwen had studied the military book given by his master, he only had a superficial understanding of military affairs, and his ability to truly command a war was not high. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After marching to Yanjin, after only waiting for a day, Sun Chuanting brought someone over.

There was not much difference in the total strength of the two sides, Sun Chuanting brought 14,000 people, and Li Xiuwen's Shenji battalion was 10,000. However, Li Xiuwen's men and horses are all trained and fully armed.

Sun Chuanting's side was not so good, many soldiers didn't even have battle armor.

The Ming Dynasty was too poor, and it would be good to be able to ensure that the soldiers did not starve to death. Sun Chuanting's headquarters soldiers and horses are fine, as for He Renlong, it is simply impossible to count on his soldiers and people to work hard.

On the other hand, Li Xiuwen is a rich landowner, the soldiers have meat to eat, their own land, and military salaries, and their morale must be different.

The two sides met in the field, and the war began.

Li Xiuwen sat in the rear, with Li Dong as the vanguard, leading 3,000 cavalry to charge. Sun Chuanting's cavalry was not many, and there were probably more than 1,000 cavalry. Compared to his own cavalry battalion, it is really far behind in numbers.

What made Li Xiuwen a little depressed was that Sun Chuanting was too scoundrel and actually brought a few Franc machines. As soon as the cavalry of the Shenji battalion rushed halfway, the other side opened fire first.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

After the first round of fighting, it was precisely Li Xiuwen's cavalry that was bombarded.

However, the damage to the Shenji Battalion was not serious, and it was estimated that only a few dozen people were hit by the artillery. In these years, the gunners have limited accuracy, don't look at the sound is quite bluffing, in fact, there are not many people, and there is a feeling that the cannon is hitting mosquitoes.

The enemy only had time to fire two rounds of artillery before they came within range of the bird's gun.

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

The cavalry battalion used a three-stage fire, and did not fire in a swarm, but carried out fire suppression in an orderly manner.

This new type of bird gun has a long range, and this round of shooting made Sun Chuanting's men suffer a dark loss, they used the original three-eyed gun, and they couldn't hit that far range.

Sun Chuanting, who was watching the battle in the rear, frowned, he didn't expect Li Xiuwen's armament to be so sophisticated, this was simply bullying people!

"Da, da, da-"

The cavalry of the two sides finally got closer, the archers in the rear of the Qin army shot a dense rain of arrows, and the three-eyed guns in the hands of the cavalry finally came into use, and after some irregular shooting, they were ready to fight in close quarters.

Li Xiuwen hurriedly ordered, and the infantry followed. Sun Chuanting, who was on the other side, also ordered and pressed all the people.

"Kill—"

The cavalry on both sides roared at the same time, ready for hand-to-hand combat.

However, just as the Qin army picked up the three-eyed guns in their hands and were about to rush over to smash people, the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion suddenly changed direction, and the camp split from the middle and circled to the left and right flanks of the other side.

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

At this moment, Li Xiuwen's infantry launched a three-stage plus three-column fire, and the dull sound of guns sounded again, and tongues of fire sprayed at the vanguard cavalry of the Qin army.

The infantry played at a higher level than the cavalry, after all, it was a division of labor, one person aimed and shot, one person ignited, and one person loaded gunpowder.

In this way, no matter how fast the opponent's cavalry rushed, it was useless, and the shooting speed of the infantry of the Shenji battalion was too fast. In just one moment, one thousand riders became more than eight hundred.

Li Xiuwen is very satisfied with this, the range is farther than you, and the rate of fire is faster than yours, which is simply crushing the opponent with technology.

This battle is about armaments!

By this time the battle had begun, the main forces of both sides had already begun to fight head-on. The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion drew their swords and waved them constantly, mercilessly reaping the lives of the enemy.

Sun Chuanting had to divide his forces to take care of the left and right flanks, and the number of people who could fight head-on was even less.

However, the Qin army has experienced many battles, and at this time, the bloody nature comes out. They swung their three-eyed guns and smashed them into the enemy in front of them.

"Boom-"

With a bang, his head broke and bled out.

Close combat is indeed the weakness of the Shenji Battalion, but in a battle, it is impossible to never get close to the enemy and rely on firearms to defeat the opponent. They showed no weakness and used the sharp swords in their hands to resist the opponent's attack.

The two sides have their own advantages, and when they were at a stalemate, somehow, there were deserters on Sun Chuanting's side. Seeing that the situation was not good, the chief soldier He Renlong actually led the team of pro-soldiers, leaving the team of men and horses to run away.

As a result, the morale of the Qin army was greatly weakened, Li Xiuwen's face was happy, and he sat on the horse and shouted loudly: "The enemy army is defeated, kill!" ”

"Coward, kill!"

Sun Chuanting gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had no choice but to order a retreat. Originally, it was not known who killed the deer, but as soon as the long-legged general He Renlong ran, the whole army was immediately defeated, and the morale was irretrievable.

Li Xiuwen led his people to pursue the victory, killed many enemies, and pursued them until Shamen Town before withdrawing their troops.

As the old saying goes, the poor don't chase after it.

Sun Chuanting has led the troops for so many years, and he doesn't dare to guarantee that the other party will not leave a backhand. Although the officers and men of the guard post are not strong in combat, it is still no problem to fight an ambush.

If you fall into an ambush, you will be in danger of falling headlong into the enemy's encirclement.

Li Xiuwen won a big victory this time, in fact, thanks to He Renlong. There are many factors that determine victory or defeat on the battlefield, morale is one thing, armament is one thing, and the mode of combat also has a great impact.

Li Xiuwen noticed that Sun Chuanting's soldiers and horses did not even have complete battle armor, but they only had some advantages in close combat. As for his own side, he mainly relied on firearms, and he fell behind in hand-to-hand combat.

Li Xiuwen thought about it and felt that there was little chance of winning a hard fight, and he would definitely suffer heavy casualties in the end, so he wrote a letter and sent someone to Sun Chuanting to send it over.

The content of the letter is nothing more than the hope that Sun Chuanting will surrender and take refuge in himself.

Li Xiuwen naturally would not be naïve to think that this letter alone would be able to recruit a general. He did this to deliberately sow discord and make Zhu Youzhen wary and suspicious of Sun Chuanting.

Such a strategy is very simple, and many people can see through it at a glance. But often the simpler the thing, the more likely it is to have a magical effect.

If it had been placed in the past, when Zhu Youzhen still trusted Sun Chuanting very much, this method would not have worked. But the current situation is a little different, Sun Chuanting was able to get out of prison because he begged Zhu Youzhen.

If someone reported this matter, wouldn't Zhu Youzhen suspect him at all?

He Renlong became a deserter, causing Sun Chuanting to return defeated, Sun Chuanting will inevitably sue him, so is He Zongbing a simple person?

Li Xiuwen felt that if He Renlong wanted to get rid of the guilt, he would definitely use this letter to talk about things.

In this way, there will be a rift between Sun Chuanting and He Renlong, and it is naturally impossible to be in one place anymore.

The generals are not in harmony, and they still want to win the battle?

Li Xiuwen decided to stick to the county seat and consume Sun Chuanting here.

Over time, the problems will naturally increase. Whether it is a quarrel in the other party's camp, or Zhu Youzhen's plan to change people to fight, it is always in his favor. (To be continued.) )
