It seems that for a long time, except for a very small number of warriors and even officers and their servants with special status, even the Qi family army began to rely more on projection of power and defensive and offensive combat methods when they fought in the grassland. Therefore, when Yue Tuo and the others encountered a group of archers that were not inferior to the elite of Jianzhou, they did not feel any difference. No one believes that in terms of melee combat and courage, there are people who are the opponents of Jianzhou's elite. In particular, the conquests of the Oirat and Yarkand generation and even countless military exploits and achievements made many Jianzhou elites begin to recall the era of successive victories in Liaodong from the end of Wanli to the early days of the Apocalypse.

After the Battle of Qingyuan, the Jianzhou Army also made great changes in the melee combat system, in addition to the combination of projection and melee combat within the squad, it also learned the bow and arrow method of breaking the formation with grenades and blasting rods as the auxitive.

Compared with the main force of the Volunteer Force and even the main force of the Guards at this time, it can be said that they are two teams that are very close in terms of melee combat system. Therefore, in order to avoid accidental injuries and melee during the night confrontation, the Jianzhou Army strives to perfect the front to a large extent.

However, the regiments of the First Army of the Revolutionary Army, which had undergone more special night combat training and had special marking and identification methods, did not have so many scruples, and they were more active in attacking and fighting, and they were more disregarding casualties and losses.

The heavy explosions and fires, even the explosion of ammunition from the bombing attack, and the subsequent firing that was close to the point of close range, broke the battle line in the first place. This was especially true when the divisions of the First Army in three directions launched their attacks at the same time under the cover of pyrotechnic signals.

Perhaps because too many elites were drawn from various armies, the main force of the First Army at this time did not have any advantages in terms of training quality and equipment level compared with the Jianzhou vanguard led by Yue Tuo, but in this fierce night battle, the courage and will of the younger composition of the overall army were more and more reflected, especially when the officers and soldiers began to adapt to such a fierce confrontation at night, and the battle situation of the whole night gradually became more and more unfavorable to the main force of the Jianzhou vanguard.

The previous Yue Tuo had also thought about the various dangers and crises he might face before sending out his troops, but he never expected that just in an ambush with a force equal to his own, the entire army would be in a difficult situation.

When the vanguard force of Jianzhou led by Yue Tuo fell into an ambush and siege near Lanzhou, the 10,000 armor, 5,000 auxiliary troops led by Heihuan Bolie also began to enter the Wuwei area.

However, not long after the battle report of the encounter between the army led by Yue Tuo and the strong enemy came, the main force of the Ming army, which seemed to have been ambushed in the Wuwei area for a long time, with as many as 20,000 troops, also emerged from the ambush site and launched a siege on the old camp of the main force of Wuwei Jianzhou.

At the beginning, the pro-army led by Heihuan Bole launched the offensive with the majority of the Second Army of the Revolutionary Army. Compared with the First Army, the Second Army was slightly weaker in terms of the proportion of elite personnel, and the core main force of Jianzhou led by Hei Huan Bolie had significantly more elites than Yue Tuo's department, and with the support of fortifications, the Second Army's offensive suffered a considerable setback from the beginning, and had to finally choose to besiege during the day.

After discovering that the Second Army also had good projection power and archery skills during the battle, Hei also decided to time the counterattack at dusk and when the night began to fall, so as to minimize the advantage that the side that was good at bow and arrow shooting could have in defense.

Different from the battle situation near Lanzhou, because the main force of the Jianzhou Army led by Hei Huan Bolie was stronger, even if the Second Division of the Second Army in the direction of the main attack of the Jianzhou Army was temporarily in a defensive posture and built a simple chest fortification during the day, the battle line still began to become dangerous at the beginning of the main force of Jianzhou's counteroffensive. The suppressive power of superior forces, and even the continuous sound of explosions, suppressed the defensive bonus brought by the simple earthen fortress.

However, at this moment, the blasting sound that frightened many people with a little experience suddenly sounded, and hundreds of thousands of heavy shotguns fell from the sky in the fierce blasting attack, causing serious casualties and losses to the Mongolian Eight Banners and even the Jianzhou auxiliaries who had no armor to protect them.

However, this is not the most important thing, the explosion brought by the fierce blasting attack is like a signal, and thousands of infantry divisions of the Volunteer Right Army, which are far more elite than the first or second armies of the revolutionary army, suddenly joined the battle group at this time, almost instantly changing the tide of the battle, so that the main force of Jianzhou, which had just broken through, had to return to the defense after paying a huge price. Although the trend of the war situation has not really been decided at this time, many Jianzhou officers and generals also felt the smell of defeat at this time.

When the sky gradually brightened, the original 20,000 or 30,000 Jianzhou main forces in the Wuwei area were only half of them in front of the elite ambush soldiers, although this included most of the elite forces, but there was no doubt that the vitality was greatly damaged. However, when it was understood that the entire Jianzhou army was likely to be in a desperate situation near the end of the Hexi Corridor, the determination of the entire Jianzhou army to resist seemed to have become unprecedentedly strong.

There is no doubt that the only way to survive at this moment is that the follow-up team can finally break the siege, at least as long as it persists for at least one day and night, and at most two or three days and nights. After all, the distance between the entire marching column of nearly 100,000 people was not too far. If he can effectively break through the siege, Hei Huan Bolie also made a final plan, that is, the whole army retreats and blocks the opponent in the Turpan area, if this cannot be done, then all other plans can only become the flower in the mirror.

At this time, the commander of the Second Army of the Revolutionary Army was looking forward to the end of the battle near Lanzhou, if the First Army arrived before the enemy's reinforcements arrived, even if it still could not take the stubborn strong enemy in the Wuwei area for a while, the battle situation in the entire Hexi Corridor would have the capital to finally lock the victory. Therefore, the second night after the ambush began to unfold was undoubtedly the decisive night of the battle for the entire Hexi Corridor.

With the sound of fierce artillery and the explosion of the blasting attack, the Jianzhou Army Front near Wuwei once again ushered in a fierce attack by the Second Army, this time the attack was not only particularly fierce, but it seemed that the enemy army was more bold to take the method of concentrating troops and elites, which also made Hei Huan Bolie see a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough.
