Seeing that it was slightly shocking to everyone, Yang Xuan continued: "Of course, all this must be seen on the battlefield, our four battalions of infantry, one battalion of cavalry, and one battalion of sailors, the strength of which is close to more than two thousand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the **** Liqi Department claims to be more than 4,000 people, after a day and a half of rapid marching, there must be many people left behind, and the soldiers are inevitably exhausted.

I expected that the Great Western Army would inevitably approach the state city in the afternoon, and we could take advantage of the exhaustion of the other party's distance, go deep alone, and kill the other party by surprise. ”

Hearing that there was another big battle to fight, everyone hugged their fists and said yes, and they were even more happy.

Yang Xuan wanted to fight, and the general of the Great Western Army, **** Li, hoped to use himself as a bait to attract the loyal and righteous army to attack, so he defeated the loyal and righteous army in one fell swoop and captured Pengzhou.

As the five tiger generals with the highest official positions under Zhang Xianzhong (except for the four righteous sons), **** Li followed Zhang Xianzhong to fight in the south and the north, and with the continuous accumulation of military achievements, he also developed the habit of arrogance.

This time the strategy of northern Sichuan almost out of the basket, when preparing to attack Shunqing City, suddenly Qu County gentry Li Yi led the troops to revolt, fortunately led the troops to quell the rebellion, but also let the **** Li touch a nose of ashes.

After occupying the city of Shunqing Prefecture, he was afraid that there would be any rebels again due to local instability, so he accepted the plan of Shi Jinchen and others, if he could surrender, it would be best if he could surrender, and if he could not surrender, he would stabilize the other party first, and then send troops to attack after the rule was consolidated.

In this way, he hit it off with Yang Xuan, and the envoys of the two sides kept coming and going, but Yang Xuan had no intention of returning to obedience at all. At this time, nursery rhymes were popular all over Sichuan, and Emperor Zhang Xianzhong of Daxi decided to take the Dashun Army in Hanzhong and the Pengzhou Loyal Army in order to deter the locality, and ordered the **** Li to lead all departments to attack Pengzhou.

Lee was quite conceited, and it was in the field, not in the siege.

Although the Great Western Army successively captured Chongqing, Chengdu and other big cities, it was because the defenders in the city were empty, and the Great Western Army used the method of digging tunnels to bury explosives.

As analyzed in front of the station, there are only three battalions of soldiers and horses in Xiangru County, in order to ensure the safety of the back road, although Yang Xuan placed the 4th battalion of Yao Zhijiao in the ancient city of Yunshan, and personally led the guard battalion and the 5th and 6th battalions to garrison the state city, if he saw the excavation of the Great Western Army, he would not be indifferent.

After thinking about it, **** Li believes that the best way is to annihilate the main force of the loyal and righteous army in the field first, and then gather all kinds of soldiers and horses to besiege the county seat, rather than falling into a protracted siege war.

Li Zhao invited the governor Zhang Guangcai and others to discuss, although this Yang Xuan is young, but he has a good reputation, unlike other officials in the Ming Dynasty who are corrupt and bribery, and more importantly, the three thousand loyal and righteous army that has just been trained has strict military discipline, and often wins more with less, and has been defeated many times as a disaster for the Yao loess tyrants in Sichuan for several years.

In this way, he took advantage of Yang Xuan's weakness of wanting to win, and used the **** profit of 4,000 soldiers and horses as bait to defeat the opponent in the field battle.

Although the loyal army is quite elite, although it is easy to wait for work, but everyone is more confident in the **** profit, its division is a long-fought division, with 4,000 people to deal with less than 2,000 cutting-edge divisions, everyone is full of confidence.

Besides, **** Li is not blindly holding up, and this battle has exposed its cunning.

In order to avoid the fatigue of the soldiers and unable to fight, three days ago, **** Li ordered some troops to transport the grain and grass out of the city first, and fought with the army on the halfway.

Let Chen Yingrui, Feng Youqing and others in the back speed up the pace of marching, and if the battle is unfavorable, there will be a response or something.

Although many arrangements were made, after entering the territory of Xiangru County on the second day, **** Li deliberately asked the departments to slow down, and everyone stopped and stopped, far from being as fast as the first day.

Before the time, the scouts in front came to report that Yang Xuan led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, and now he was rushing towards the Great Western Army.

Li smiled, looked left and right, and said: "General Ben has been dominating the world for more than ten years, and there have been more than 100 large and small wars, and he has never been so arrogant.

In the face of my 4,000 army, Yang Xuan actually led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to kill, isn't this a mantis arm blocking the car? ”

When the generals heard this, everyone laughed, and everyone was most worried that Yang Xuan would not be able to defend it, and that kind of words would be protracted and unpleasant.

Li smiled and ordered the whole army to speed up the march, lest Yang Xuan lead his troops back to the city, and then it would be troublesome.

All the units of the Great Western Army marched forward bravely, and the Governor Wang Jiye led more than 2,000 people to rush to the front, and saw from a distance that the loyal and righteous army had occupied the Dawang Temple, and about 600 people lined up in front of the temple.

The loyal and righteous troops lined up, forming six phalanxes, and seeing the Great Western Army coming in a steady stream, they were planting hidden piles, wooden thorns, and bamboo nails in front of the formation.

This can be touched by himself, Wang Jiye raised the spear in his hand and commanded everyone to kill it mightily.

Seeing the Great Western Army coming, the other party did not panic at all, everyone retreated into the formation in an orderly manner, and there was a sound of frying iron sand from the front position.

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the kings of the Ming Dynasty have attached great importance to the firearms troops, and the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has established the Shenji Battalion, and the whole battalion has used firearms to fight.

Since the introduction of bird guns into Middle-earth in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has been more widely used, and the proportion of firearms in the Qi army has reached 60%, much higher than that of the European armies of the same era.

After the massive use of bird guns, the Ming Dynasty army also suffered from firearm dependence, and the barbarian Qing Sarhu Dajie Nurhachi defeated the Ming general Juniper's department, mainly because of the heavy rain in the sky, the Ming Dynasty firearms could not be used.

The principle of the Ming army was to use firearms to defeat the opponent, and then the infantry swarmed up to reap the lives of the panicked opponents.

The Ming general Yuan Chonghuan advocated relying on the fortified city and defeating the opponent with cannons, that is, through firearms.

Due to the excessive reliance on firearms, the Ming army lacked the courage to fight in the past, although the Ming army relied on the benefits of firearms to compete with the Liaodong Tartars and Liukou, but if they lost the benefits of firearms, they often collapsed at the touch of a button.

In this way, the loyal army also relied heavily on firearms, but the firing speed of firearms in this era was very slow, and it was enough time to shoot six arrows in one shot.

Therefore, seeing that the soldiers of the loyal and righteous army in the front row were operating firearms, some experienced soldiers shouted loudly to charge, but they still stopped, let those cannon fodder rush out first, and then rushed over while the opponent was reloading the gunpowder, hand-to-hand combat.

The range of the bird gun is about 100 meters, but the loyal army has no intention of releasing the gun at all, and the officers and men of each firearms squadron set the bird gun on the shelf to aim, instead of firing the gun from a distance like those officers and soldiers of the Great Western Army.

Unlike flintlock pistols, there is an open flame during firing, and in order to avoid the gunpowder on the body from catching fire, everyone stands sparsely in front of the formation, rather than being densely armed like a flintlock pistol.

In normal times, a good shooter can accurately hit a target at a distance of 100 paces, but on the battlefield it is completely different, not only the personnel move frequently, but also cannot aim as accurately as a target.

In this way, about 70 meters, the soldiers of the Great Western Army who rushed in front were also preparing to open their bows and shoot arrows, and at this moment, they suddenly saw a general wearing thick armor in front of him pressing his hands, smoke rising, and the sound of birds in front of him was the first to sound.

Because they were very close and shot quite accurately, several people were shot in one round, and those unlucky ghosts, some were shot and rolled on the ground, and some clung to the wound and wailed.

The gun sounded, and the soldiers of the Great Western Army behind rushed up, just as those veteran soldiers compared, although this bird gun was powerful, but it took half a day to let it go, everyone rushed over, as long as they fought in close quarters, the other party was just a lamb to the slaughter.

But the situation was obviously wrong, and at the same time as the soldiers behind rushed up, the smoke in front kept rising, and not only the sound of birds crackling and crackling continued.

There were people around who kept falling, and others were driven by the flow of people behind, like a flock of ducks being driven forward, and they were about to rush to the front of the battle, and some people were so excited that they pulled out their swords and prepared to fight in close quarters.

At this moment, countless crossbows suddenly shot out from the opponent's formation, and the crossbows were shot into the air and then fell freely, through the heavy armor, and into the bodies of the unfortunate soldiers.

As mentioned earlier, the crossbow fires very fast, and each time the gun is released, it can shoot a full six crossbows. (After the invention of the revolver, since it could fire six bullets in a row, white Americans had an overwhelming advantage over the Indians)

Although a few big men rushed over, they were surrounded by wolf players and rattan players who were lying in ambush in front of them, and they couldn't move.

The wolf is invented by Qi Jiguang, the body of the gun is a hard bamboo, particularly light, the tip of the gun is pressed on the spearhead, and the spear head is surrounded by iron thorns, which can be stabbed, picked, and swept, and the power is quite amazing.

The wolf hand is different from other ordinary weapons, and it requires an amazing man with strong height and amazing arm strength. The wolf fighters of the loyal and righteous army are basically one in a hundred, and these big men were often hungry when there was a famine in the past, but it was different in the army, not only did they have enough food every day, but they also added meals every Monday and Friday.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the population of northern Sichuan was very small, there were hills and rivers everywhere, and there were many birds and animals, while the loyal and righteous army often adopted the method of round-up, and the prey was very large.

After months of training, these high-headed men were more energetic than in the past, and now they saw the Onishi army coming, and rushed out under the cover of the rattan players, and everyone raised the wolf whisk about five meters long at the same time.

One inch long and one inch strong, these dozens of wolf whisks who suddenly rushed out held five-meter-long wolf whisks and stabbed them at the same time, and their momentum was even more amazing.

Some of the officers and men of the Great Western Army who rushed to the front were stabbed and swept, and the entire charging formation was intercepted alive, forming a cofferdam in front of the loyal and righteous army.

A few unlucky ghosts who rushed to the front were injured by the wolf, although they waved their weapons to resist repeatedly, but the wolf's head was full of hard iron thorns, sweeping on the body, even if they were wearing thick armor, it was useless.
