Section 318 Roar

After the troops attacking the left flank of the official army withdrew, only a few men and horses of Zhou Xiuying's women's army remained under pressure on the enemy's way, and the pressure on the forbidden army of the Jingshi camp in front of them was sharply reduced.

In this way, the left-wing formation immediately returned to its previous thickness, re-established a certain depth, and stabilized the front.

Although there were more than 10,000 enemy troops in front of Ji Qingwen's headquarters on the right flank, due to the restrictions of the terrain, the White Lotus Sect could not put all the nearly 20,000 troops attacking Ji Qingwen away, and only a few thousand people could be arranged to fight Ji Qingwen on the front.

Therefore, instead of increasing, the pressure on Ji Qingwen became easier due to the steady arrival of reinforcements sent by Liu Kongzhao.

At this time, Li Yan gave advice for Ji Qingwen and said: "Brother Ji, it seems that there is an opportunity now to completely defeat the White Lotus Sect in one go, but there may be some risks, and whether it is successful or not, please consider it Brother Ji." ”

Although Li Yan is a scholar, he may be a bit of a paper soldier when he talks about military affairs, but he is extremely smart and can always put forward valuable opinions and suggestions from unexpected angles, so it is also worth listening to.

So Ji Qingwen said: "When is it, Brother Li is still selling Guanzi, if you have any good ideas, just tell me quickly." ”

Li Yan smiled and said his idea.

Ji Qingwen frowned after listening, but he still couldn't make up his mind, patted Yang Zhan's shoulder beside him, and asked, "General Yang, what do you think of Li Yan's suggestion?" ”

Yang Zhan said: "Mr. Li's method has not only never been seen, but has never even heard of it...... Whether it will succeed or not, the end will not be sure. However, according to the last general, as long as Lord Liu's reinforcements continue to come, then our army can also win. ”

If it is according to Yang Zhan's idea, Ji Qingwen is a victory, then it is just a miserable victory.

Yang Xian was an ancient military general in the full sense of the word, and his words were really not constructive, which made Ji Qingwen can't help but miss the dead Chen Wenzhaolai. Although Chen Wenzhao was obsessed with inheriting the traditions of the Qi family's army, he was not conservative in his thinking and was quite open to the introduction of advanced weapons such as muskets.

"What would General Chen Wenzhao do if he was here?" Ji Qingwen muttered to himself.

Seeing that the White Lotus disciples in front of him were killing and retreating one after another, as if they were inexhaustible and endless, but the losses of the soldiers of the Ming Wu Army under Ji Qingwen's baby pimple were getting bigger and bigger, and the number of dead soldiers had reached ten, which was almost the same as the loss when they clashed with the elite of the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the "Change of Jisi" in the Beijing Division last year.

And that confrontation led to Chen Wenzhao's death, yes

One of the most painful losses after Ji Qingwen crossed over.

As soon as he recalled this past, Ji Qingwen suddenly had a firm thought in his mind: "No matter what, we can't let the losses of the Ming Wu Army continue to expand!" ”

So Ji Qingwen immediately made a decision and said: "Okay, just do what Mr. Li Yan said, give me an order, and ask the whole army to listen to my banner order, drum order, and gold order, and act in strict accordance with my order, if you don't listen, you will bear the consequences!" ”

After speaking, Ji Qingwen added: "Remember to tell Qin Xiangzhen to let her white-pole soldiers plug their ears as much as possible!" ”

After that, a few more heralds who had already joined the battle ran briskly, passing Ji Qingwen's order to the ears of every soldier.

After the sergeant returned to report, Ji Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Listen to my order, the whole army will shake the battle flag, beat the war drum, and sound the gong!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw more than a dozen large and small battle flags of the Ming Wu Army, the White Pole Soldiers, and the Beijing Division Battalion waving in unison; Eight or nine brass drums a few feet square beat in unison; Seven or eight glittering bronze gongs rang in unison. For a while, it was really a gong and drum noise, colorful flags praise, you know

It was Ji Qingwen who was conveying the military order, and I didn't know which girl I thought was getting married!

The White Lotus Sect, who had been constantly attacking, was also a little stunned when he saw and heard such a scene, and for a moment he forgot the movements of his hands and forgot to continue to attack.

But the officers and soldiers did not stop moving, and their actions were very strange.

I saw that the officers and soldiers suddenly prostrate on the ground in unison, and I didn't know what strange formation they were worshipping, or what prayer rituals they were doing, or listening to any unusual movements underground, anyway, they temporarily gave up resistance and fighting, exposing a large gap in their backs in front of the White Lotus Sect.

When the two armies were fighting, they suddenly made such a strange move, and even the White Lotus Sect, who was the opponent, was stunned when they saw it, and they all stood in place, not knowing how to respond.

However, they were stunned for only two or three seconds, and suddenly saw two chariots parked in the distance flash in front of them, followed by a huge roar - it was the four cannons on the two chariots of Ji Qing's civilized military army firing again!

This is the method that Li Yan came up with to break the enemy!

It turned out that in this fierce battle, the Ming Wu army had used all their strength, and almost all the weapons and tactics were used, but they could still only fight with the White Lotus Sect. However, in such a situation, there are two sharp weapons that have always been left idle, and have not played a role in their application.

And these two sharp weapons are the two chariots that Ji Qingwen used only once in this battle, and the four artillery pieces on the chariots. This is undoubtedly a violent ruin.

correct

But at the moment, in front of the chariot, there are heavy troops of the imperial court, and rashly firing artillery will undoubtedly hit the people of their own side hard.

And if you want to overcome this obstacle, there are only three ways to come up with it.

One is to push the chariot back to the front. But now that the battle is in full swing, these two chariots are extremely heavy, Ji Qingwen can't send enough people to transport these two chariots, and the White Lotus Sect will not let these two sharp weapons appear in front of him slowly and magnificently.

Second, Ji Qingwen commanded the team to slowly retreat and retreat behind the chariot. However, it is still very difficult to hold the battle line now, and it is even more difficult to prevent the army from retreating in an orderly and calm manner, and the slightest carelessness can lead to the rout of the whole army. This is unacceptable to Ji Qingwen.

The third is to ignore the soldiers in front of the artillery and let their sacrifice in exchange for overall victory. Such an approach may not be unacceptable, but now is neither the last moment of your life nor the sacrifice of the fierce white pole soldiers.

In addition to these three roads, Li Yan walked out of the fourth way: that is, to order the whole army to crawl on the ground, make room for artillery firing, and let the shells released from the barrel fly past everyone's heads, so as to attack the enemy in front of them.

The cannonballs fired by the artillery were extremely violent, and they were dead when they touched it, and they were dead when they rubbed it, but they didn't wipe it, they didn't spray it, and they were shocked to death by the loud noise released by the artillery at close range - this is why Ji Qingwen specially instructed Qin Xiangzhen to let the group of white pole soldiers standing in front of the artillery plug their ears as much as possible.

On the battlefield, when the two armies are fighting, the use of this tactic, which has never been trained, requires all officers and men to have absolute trust in their commanders, and to have the strictest discipline and the strongest execution on this basis.

These points can be said to be indispensable.

And the Ming Wu Army and the White Pole Soldiers are the two most elite troops with all these qualities. And when the forbidden army of the Jingshi Battalion was almost defeated, it could only choose to obey Ji Qingwen's order, even if this order was so unbelievable and confusing.

All in all, Ji Qingwen's order was finally effectively conveyed and executed, and finally the four guns barely gave up valuable space and range, so that these four guns, which had been idle and deserted for a long time, finally exerted their powerful lethality again.

This was the turn of the White Lotus Sect on the other side to be unlucky.

In order to take the officers and troops in front of them as quickly as possible, they adopted the most dense and full queues, and such a queue gave the artillery the best targets to fire at.

I saw that the four shells emitted by the four cannons caused four extremely violent explosions in the middle of the crowd......
