Sun Kewang and Liu Guoneng received Zhang Xianzhong's order to let part of the old battalion suppress the hungry soldiers and stand by in place, and the two of them led all the cavalry and 30,000 infantry of the 5th Battalion of Gezuo to the rear army.

The mobilization of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses takes time, and the Fifth Regiment of the Tiance Army has laid out its positions very leisurely and has eaten war meals. The organization and discipline of the rogue, not to mention the Tiance Army, even cannot be compared with the official army.

Zhang Xianzhong briefly told them about the current situation, and Sun Kewang and Liu Guoneng looked at each other. This Tiance army came silently, and Luo Rucai and the others have no news so far, which is indeed strange.

Li Dingguo, who heard the news, said categorically: "Dad, according to the child's opinion, Luo Shuai and the others must have been wiped out." ”

Sun Kewang retorted: "That's fifty or sixty thousand people, even if it is defeated, it is impossible for the entire army to be wiped out so quickly, and there is not even a single person to deliver the letter." Therefore, in my opinion, these officers and soldiers should have bypassed the Gui family and rushed in. ”

"Impossible!" Li Dingguo said: "Luo Shuai and others are ambushed in Guijiachong, and they will inevitably release scout cavalry nearby, even if these scout cavalry fall into the hands of the official army, Luo Shuai and others can also judge the detour of the official army from the signs." If the officers and soldiers want to reach the point where they are unconscious, how far will they have to detour? Then they won't be able to make it here today. ”

"You're ......!"

Sun Kewang wanted to say more, but Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't say it again, now I am most concerned about how to eliminate this official army." ”

Sun Kewang had a clear understanding of the situation of the two sides and the surrounding environment, and he said: "Dad, there are only a few thousand people in this official army, and there are many people. There is no danger to rely on around, and it has become a lonely army to go deep, as long as our army surrounds it, they will be unable to fly. ”

The original rogues changed their careers to become coachmen, but they didn't change their careers, and they really looked like people's husbands at a glance. The 3,000 Ming army wore mandarin duck battle jackets, and the more than 1,000 Tiance troops wore camouflage uniforms. The Tiance army has less than two thousand people, so it is easy to judge. The combat effectiveness of the 3,000 Ming army is almost equal to that of the Liukou soldiers, but there are more firearms, artillery, bows and arrows.

Even Li Dingguo could only agree with Sun Kewang's judgment, although he instinctively felt that this Tiance army was not so easy to fight.

Because judging from the current situation, this Tiance army from the direction of Anqing is indeed a lone army, although the surrounding area is not a flat river, but it is also a hilly area, there is no danger to defend, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops on their own side, and the Tiance army will fall into a heavy siege at any time.

Zhang Xianzhong is actually more sophisticated, if this Tiance army from Anqing didn't have two hits, would he dare to play a lone army to go deeper? With less than 2,000 troops, he dared to set up camp under the noses of his hundreds of thousands of troops, waiting for him to surround him.

The reason why he asked everyone to share their opinions was to boost the morale of his generals. Because your own advantages are obvious, everyone will be more confident when you speak out.

The way to play is very simple, that is, to encircle and annihilate it, the other party has already drawn a path for himself, and his hundreds of thousands of people can still be scared away by his little people?

"Hopefully, break through the sky, the whole team charges, this battle depends on your ......!" Before Zhang Xianzhong's words were finished, the cannonballs had already fallen from the sky.

Of course, Wang Yue would not wait for them to attack, after all, there were many rogue troops, and if they came from all sides, it would be a melee.

The reason why the cannon was fired until now was to separate the rogue soldiers from the hungry soldiers as much as possible. Having defeated the soldiers, the hungry soldiers are the lambs without an owner.

Zhang Xianzhong mobilized most of the soldiers to deal with him, which was exactly what he wanted. After the Liukou army was concentrated one after another, they began to organize their formations, and at this time, Wang Yue ordered the whole army to open fire.

The first thing the southbound detachment was to attack the warlords behind the hungry soldiers, numbering about 10,000 people.

After that, the southbound detachment will also use artillery fire to support the 5th Regiment going north and shell Zhang Xianzhong's main force. Because Zhang Xianzhong's main forces were all located in the rear of the army, the longest distance of the southbound detachment's artillery bombardment was more than seven or eight miles.

The army formation of hundreds of thousands of people is not a joke, especially those hungry soldiers are not the kind of neat ranks, so they occupy an extremely wide area.

The firing range of the 60 mortar is 5.5 kilometers, that is, 11 miles, and the range of the 100 mm mortar is even longer, 6.4 kilometers, so Zhang Xianzhong's hundreds of thousands of troops are within the range of the mortars of the Tiance Army.

There was no deafening roar when the mortar was fired, there was a whistling sound of shells rubbing against the air as they fell from the sky. Of course, this cannot be compared with the whistling sound of zero bombs bombed by aviation, but the momentum of nearly 100 shells firing almost simultaneously and falling almost simultaneously is also amazing.

Before Zhang Xianzhong finished speaking, the ninety-six mortar shells had already landed one after another with a whistling sound, sending out a dense explosion sound. Almost at the same time, explosions sounded in the middle of the army, and sixty mortars of the southbound detachment had already launched an attack on the old camp of the hungry soldiers.

The sudden shelling not only blew up the rogue people on their backs, causing heavy casualties, but also blinded Zhang Xianzhong and others.

Luo Rucai mentioned that the artillery of the Tiance Army not only has a long range, but also the shells are flowering shells. Zhang Xianzhong already had a psychological expectation for the losses caused by the artillery fire.

The reason why the rogue had to rely on numbers to win against the officers and soldiers was because the officers and soldiers had more sufficient firearms and bows and arrows, and almost every war with the officers and soldiers, many rogue soldiers would die at the hands of artillery.

However, the Ming army's Franc machine gun, which had two to three shells a minute and a range of 500 meters to 1,000 meters, was not at all comparable with the range and rate of fire of mortars. The key is that the number of artillery pieces of the Tiance Army is too large, with more than 9,000 troops in the north and south directions, and the number of artillery pieces has reached 156. No matter how strong Zhang Xianzhong's troops were, they couldn't withstand such artillery bombardment.

Zhang Xianzhong shouted hysterically: "Quick, attack quickly!" The sound of explosions kept coming, and he couldn't think about it anymore, he had to attack the Tiance Army as soon as possible, and he had to stop the enemy from continuing to drop shells endlessly as soon as possible.

Sun Kewang also knew that the situation was urgent, and only by moving the men and horses could the losses caused by the artillery fire be further reduced.

"Herald, drums!"

The flags of the Liukou army were waving and the war drums were rumbling. The shells were still falling, the casualties were continuing, and the shells had already smashed the rogue army into pieces, and they were not in formation at all.

Sun Kewang couldn't care about the whole team, so he waved the flag and led more than 10,000 cavalry to rush towards the fifth regiment of the Tiance Army. It was followed by 30,000 infantry led by Liu Guoneng.

The 40,000 army rushed towards Wang Yue's position overwhelmingly, and Zhang Xianzhong's attacking team had no formation at all, and they were swarming and killing in a swarm.
