Under the nest, there are no eggs.

The explosion of these four shells caused nearly a thousand casualties in the White Lotus Sect in the blink of an eye. Compared with ancient times, an arrow, a knife, a spear, and an attack often could not kill a person's combat efficiency, and artillery shells could be called weapons of mass destruction at that time.

Such a huge momentum, such a huge power, and such a huge casualty made the White Lotus Sect Xu Hongru suddenly stunned, unable to think of half a countermeasure, and stood in place stunned like a scarecrow.

At this moment, the artillery on the chariot in the distance flashed again, causing four more violent explosions in the White Lotus Sect's camp, causing hundreds of casualties.

Xu Hongru became even more frightened.

The White Lotus Sect disciples under his command, all of them combined, are only "only" fifty or sixty thousand people, but the few artillery pieces in Ji Qingwen's hand can cause more than 1,000 casualties per attack, even if you don't take into account the impact of such tragic casualties on morale and morale, just from a mathematical point of view, as long as Ji Qingwen hits dozens of cannons like this, won't all the White Lotus Sect disciples present be blasted into pulp?

Xu Hongru hesitated, and the opponent's artillery roared again, taking the lives of thousands of White Lotus Sect disciples again.

Xu Daoqing, who had just seen the power of artillery, hurriedly ran to Xu Hongru's side in disgrace, gasped and said, "Sect Master, this thief Ji Qingwen has started to use his artillery again. The power of artillery is really huge, and the disciple should accept it when he sees it, otherwise if the stalemate with the surname Ji continues, he will not be able to get cheap! ”

"Take it when you see it? The deity hasn't seen anything good yet, so it's going to have to be recycled? Xu Hongru scolded.

However, as Xu Daoqing said, if this stalemate continues, and the artillery of the Ming Wu Army is so loud a few times, I am afraid that the capital that Xu Hongru has accumulated with great difficulty will be completely destroyed under this Wulong Mountain......

I thought so, but Xu Hongru still didn't give up after all, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side still crawling on the ground, still revealing huge space and flaws, it was a pity not to take advantage of it.

So Xu Hongru immediately ordered the disciples of the White Lotus Sect, who were still in contact with the official army before the battle, to immediately launch an attack forward, and not let the opponent slip away from his hand such a great opportunity as prostrate on the ground.

Due to the nature of the artillery, it was impossible to attack the enemy forces that were too close, so the losses of the White Lotus Cultists who had just fought with the officers and soldiers were much smaller than the losses of the others. They were only frightened by the strange behavior of the officers and soldiers suddenly lying on the ground, and they were frightened by the ensuing roar of artillery.

Heard Xu Hongru's

order, these people immediately reacted from their confusion, hurriedly picked up the weapons in their hands, and smashed, chopped, and chopped the opponent's back......

Fortunately, the weapons in the hands of these White Lotus Sectists were very shoddy, fortunately, the armor worn by the Ming Wu Army, the White Pole Soldiers and the soldiers of the Jingshi Battalion was very good, and fortunately, after a long day of desperate fighting, the White Lotus Sect was already very tired - their hasty attack did not cause much loss to the officers and soldiers, especially the Ming Wu Army because they were wearing the most sophisticated armor and protective gear all over their bodies, not to mention that they were killed, or there were few who were injured.

However, such an attack cannot but be dealt with.

Ji Qingwen half-squatted on the ground, and when he saw this situation, he ordered to wave the battle flag again, beat the war drums, and sound the gong, signaling the chariot to stop firing cannons and the sergeants immediately got up to fight.

Who knew that when he gave this order, although the artillery stopped firing, not all of the sergeants stood up - it turned out that only a few bursts of artillery were fired, and the huge roar caused by it temporarily deafened many sergeants, so that they could not hear the sound of gongs and drums at all, and naturally did not react accordingly.

However, this situation did not last long, Ji Qingwen immediately ordered the sergeants under his command to pass on the word of mouth, convey the orders layer by layer, and finally let the whole army stand up and line up and return to the battle.

The war has reopened, and the situation has changed.

The first is that the balance of forces has changed dramatically. On the one hand, the White Lotus Sect's troops were killed and wounded by artillery, and the number of troops was greatly reduced. On the side of the official army, with the continuous arrival of Liu Kongzhao's reinforcements, the strength of the army continued to increase, and gradually formed a uniform situation with the opponent.

The second is the trade-off of morale. On today's battlefield, such a sharp weapon as artillery plays a decisive role. And such a thing is firmly in the hands of Ji Qingwen, but it makes the White Lotus Sect have no countermeasures to come up with. The impact of this reality on morale is extremely obvious, and this is not limited to the power of artillery.

Finally, there is a huge change in tactics. Afraid of the power of artillery, the White Lotus Sect no longer dared to use a dense formation to charge the officers and troops, and the White Lotus Sect's tactical literacy was actually very inferior, and there was no other effective method of warfare except for the use of crowd tactics for large-scale impact. Therefore, using artillery to destroy their tactics actually announced the bankruptcy of Xu Hongru's major offensive today.

All in all, under the condition that the troops, morale, and tactics were all developing in his favor, Ji Qingwen finally relieved his strength and came to his senses, and first ordered the Jiangnan official army teams that came to reinforce one after another to attack the remnants of the White Lotus Sect for a fierce attack, and continue to compress their offensive. Then take advantage of this opportunity to quickly rectify the formation

type, and let the sergeants under his command seize the opportunity to drink a little water and eat some dry food, and finally stabilized the defense line again.

To stabilize the defensive line, it is natural to organize a counterattack.

However, after today's bloody battle, Ji Qingwen's original 5,000 men and horses were able to participate in the battle, and only 3,000 were left, and most of them were tired and tired, making it difficult to carry out efficient interspersed tactics to attack.

So after Ji Qingwen adopted Yang Zhan's opinion, he ordered the Sichuan Baipole soldiers to be the central axis, the Ming Wu army was divided into two to protect the left and right flanks, the Beijing division battalion forbidden army followed closely to protect the rear, and the rest of the reinforcement sergeants fought together - forming a large phalanx, steadily moving forward to crush the attack.

Yang Zhan's formation is centered on the indestructible spear phalanx of the white pole soldiers, supplemented by musket guards on the left and right wings, and behind him is the forbidden army of the Beijing Division Battalion with slightly poor combat effectiveness but good mobility.

The small, standard Mandarin Duck Array White Lotus Sect still has no way to deal with it, let alone such a huge formation?

I saw that although the White Lotus Sect was still outnumbered, they had already been frightened by the power of the artillery, and they had no confidence to confront such an unbreakable and indestructible formation of the official army.

The elite backbone of the White Lotus Sect, Zhou Xiuying and Xu Daoqing led the men and horses of the headquarters to make a little contact with the official army, and then retreated in defeat. The rest of the disciples saw that the "Holy Maiden" and the "Senior Brother" with "great powers" were not opponents of the official army, so they did not dare to fight the enemy army, and retreated after fighting.

Zhou Xiuying experienced the whole process of losing the war from losing to winning, and then from winning to losing, and the women's army of his cronies also lost most of them, knowing that fighting like this is not much different from committing suicide, so he came to Xu Hongru and persuaded: "Daddy, the reinforcements of the official army have arrived, I'm afraid we won't be able to win this battle today, Daddy might as well withdraw the troops back temporarily, and make a plan after advancing Wenzhou City......

Xu Hongru sighed heavily: "What if you return to Wenzhou?" If you can't win here, can you win it after you get to Wenzhou? If you can't win today, can you win it in the future? ”

Saying that, Xu Hongru sighed heavily, rubbed his aching shoulder, and said: "There is no way, I have run out of ammunition and food, so I have to retreat first......

After that, Xu Hongru was unwilling to reorganize and command the army, so he directly took a dozen cronies around him to escort him, and as soon as he turned his head, he left behind the disciples who were still fighting, and retreated to the east.

Zhou Xiuying looked at Xu Hongru's back who suddenly looked much older, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and then gave an order: "Tell all the disciples to listen to the order, under the order of the sect master, now the whole army is under my command!" ”
