"Marshal, the Chaozhou defenders are out of the city to fight." Yang Tiancheng and Wang Houchun were studying the map, but they were interrupted by Xue Wanli breaking in.

"This is really strange, where did this Liu Changlu and Lu Guangmu come from so dare to go out of the city to fight? Could it be that their reinforcements have arrived? Is there any news from Xuan Yingwei's side? Wang Houchun was a little strange, and asked Xue Wanli to immediately organize his troops and horses out of the camp to prepare for the battle, while he and Yang Tiancheng ascended the command platform. The two were a little puzzled by Liu Changlu and Lu Guangmu's actions. But soon the news of Xuan Yingwei also came, and there were indeed reinforcements coming towards Chaozhou, but it was very strange that although there were more than 50,000 reinforcements, there seemed to be a huge conspiracy hidden in them.

However, Xuan Yingwei knew that there was a conspiracy, but he couldn't shake the determination of the two to win Chaozhou in a battle, the Tiance army had been repaired for three days, and all the soldiers had already rested, so Xue Wanli and Chai Jia, who were in charge of the front-line command, quickly organized their troops out of the camp and lined up to prepare for the battle.

However, the two armies had not yet started the war, Yang Tiancheng suddenly frowned for no reason, and whispered to Wang Houchun beside him, Wang Houchun also began to frown after hearing the words and said in a low voice: "You mean that the other party has enough killer features?" ”

"You see that the other party's military formation is neat and orderly, and there is no chaos at all, and Liu Changlu on the command platform is also calm. They had already seen the combat power of our Tiance Army before, but at the moment, they were calm, which meant that the other party had enough to rely on. Both of them are deaf and clear-sighted people, so they can naturally see Liu Changlu's expression in the Chinese army.

"Order the artillery battalion to leave enough firepower to prepare the opponent's killer weapon, let Chai Jia lead the troops to protect the Chinese army, and Xue Wanli will lead the men and horses of the headquarters to fight immediately." Wang Houchun looked at Yang Tiancheng's expression, nodded, began to pick up the flag, adjusted the deployment, and at the same time ordered Xue Wanli to start the war immediately. I could only hear the main force of the Tiance Army on the front line quickly cross the middle line of the two armies and charge forward when the war drum corps sounded, and at the same time the action of the rear artillery battalion also opened quickly, but most of the projectiles this time were not explosive packets, but hurried crossbow arrows. And for the first time, the mechanical crossbow was put into the first sequence of the attack, and the dense rain-like crossbow arrows flew through the main force of the Tiance Army to block the vanguard of the competing Cantonese army, and countless soldiers were knocked to the ground by a rain of arrows. The explosives package in the middle was very strange to Liu Changlu, who was sitting in the town, but soon a smile appeared on his face, and he called out directly: "Brother Lu, you see, there are not many weapons that can explode on the other side, otherwise this first round of attacks will not be like this, and the rest will be supported by these crossbow arrows." ”

"Immediately send an order to all the generals, regardless of their subordinates, to attack my whole army, and take advantage of the lack of weapons and supplies of the opponent's weapons to defeat the Tiance army together." Liu Changlu laughed, and decisively pressed all the forces of the whole army and ordered the coalition army to charge forward. But Lu Guangmu on the side changed his face and hurriedly said, "General Liu, didn't you say that you want to let your killer weapon come up and then charge?" Why give the order to charge the whole army now? What if the other party cheats us? ”

"Brother Lu, rest assured, the killer weapon is already waiting in the rear, just in case. God help me now, how can we let go of this opportunity in vain? Liu Changlu waved his hand to comfort Lu Guangmu and said: "Brother Lu, don't worry, I have my own measure, this battle must defeat the Tiance Army and keep our territory and status." With Liu Changlu's words, more than 100,000 troops on the coalition side swarmed up, instantly firmly grasping the situation on the front line on the side of the coalition army. Under the huge advantage in numbers, Xue Wanli's forward troops were surrounded, even if Xue Wanli decisively asked all the remaining troops in his headquarters to come forward to support, there was still no way to recover the decline in a short period of time.

Xue Wanli made the old mistake again in a hurry, and directly threw the front-line command to Li Lisan, the chief of staff, and personally took the personal guards to kill him, attacking the opponent's formation against the trend, and driving the Tiance Army to block the battle line little by little.

"The archers cover the attack in the direction of the dasher's charge." After Xue Wanli left, Li Lisan immediately asked the archer brigade of the archers guarding the front army to directly cover Xue Wanli's assault, and every time the five thousand archers opened their bows, they would bring a rain of arrows in the sky, and after they landed, the figures flew over, constantly emptying the attacks of the coalition forces in front, so that gradually the Tiance army formed a salient with Xue Wanli as the baseline, driving the overall formation to advance forward.

"Although Xue Wanli has made an old mistake, but now he has basically stabilized the situation, although there are more than a dozen on the front line, as long as the situation is stabilized, it will inevitably make Liu Changlu impatient after a long time, I want to see what killer he can come up with?" Yang Tiancheng sneered and said, "Let Chai Jia prepare immediately and deal with the other party's mutation at any time." ”

"Let the explosives package of the artillery battalion stop, let the mechanical crossbow attack with all its might, let's try how long Liu Changlu's heart can last." Wang Houchun nodded and smiled.

The change in the artillery battalion of the Tiance Army also made Li Lisan on the front line and Xue Wanli, who led the troops to fight, react, what was the command platform planning, so they stopped bombing and changed to crossbow arrows of mechanical crossbows to support the front line. However, although this is much less powerful for his own attack, it has also brought new changes. After figuring this out, Xue Wanli immediately made a decision, and took the Tiance Army team around him to start increasing his efforts to impact the opponent's battle formation. In fact, the combat power of the coalition army is not worth mentioning, but the number of troops invested at this time is too large, resulting in the soldiers on the front line of the Tiance Army being unable to cope with such a huge force impact at the beginning, so they will be suppressed by the other party at once.

After Xue Wanli entered the front line, the morale boost brought by the fierce general allowed the Tiance army to turn back the situation little by little, gradually expelled the coalition soldiers from their formation, and then led the troops to counterattack and began to resist the other party, which meant that Liu Changlu's idea gradually fell through. The change in the battle situation also made Liu Changlu's face gradually change, and Lu Guangmu's face beside him was even more wrong, you must know that his troops are not as large as the Guangdong army, if all of them are consumed on the battlefield, then even if he wins this battle, he will lose the strength to confront the Tiance army, and may even face the fate of being annexed by the Guangdong army. Therefore, Lu Guangmu couldn't sit still anymore and directly asked Liu Changlu to put in his killer move, otherwise he would immediately withdraw his troops and return to the city.

Lu Guangmu's attitude made Liu Changlu hesitate for a long time, and after a long time, he had no choice but to wave his hand and let the reinforcements behind him enter the battlefield. In fact, it's not that he doesn't have confidence in his killer weapon, but he is a little puzzled by the Tiance Army, although the combat power of the Tiance Army on the front line is as strong as before, and even relies on inferior forces to gradually suppress his soldiers and horses, but he always feels that something is wrong.

"Tiancheng, you see that Liu Changlu's rear army has changed, you see, in fact, this is a bit strange, is it possible for 50,000 soldiers and horses to open such a big distance? What's the use of throwing it into the battlefield like this? Wang Houchun had been staring at Liu Changlu's rear army, waiting for them to appear, and at this time, he felt a little strange when he saw that the other party really moved.

"Immediately order the Chinese army Chai Jia to lead the team to set off and arrive at the front army to stand by." Yang Tiancheng asked the war drum corps to pass the order, and at the same time followed Wang Houchun to watch the changes in Liu Changlu's rear army. But soon there were a lot of strange giants moving in front of their eyes, and there was one strange sound after another, and the rumbling sound made the battlefield seem to start shaking.

"God, what kind of monster is this? Where did Liu Changlu get so many monsters? There should be more than 100 of them, right? Yang Tiancheng muttered to himself, his face full of shock.

Liu Changlu's face became confident again after seeing his killer weapon put into the battlefield, this is the war elephant army he got back from Qu Chengmei, compared to the cavalry, these seem to be prehistoric monsters, but they are too powerful. If it weren't for the urgency of the war, it wouldn't be just over 200 heads. But at this time, there was no need to think about anything, Liu Changlu immediately let the war elephant enter the battlefield, this kind of monster except for the Yue army itself, Lu Guangmu's troops and the Tiance army were stunned, and even forgot to fight for a moment.

"Archers shoot, I don't believe that these monsters can stop our Tiance army." Xue Wanli roared angrily and beckoned the archers behind him to bend their bows and fire a volley, covering these monsters with a rain of arrows. But then what surprised them was that after these arrows rained down, although the soldiers around the monsters were killed, but these monsters did not have much damage, the arrows inserted into the monsters instead stimulated the ferocity of these monsters, and they saw that the terrible sound on the battlefield continued, and these monsters suddenly rushed forward.

"The mechanical crossbow immediately threw it with all its might, suppressing the coalition forces, and the explosives pack troops began to prepare, give me all the strength to bombard these monsters, I want to see if these monsters are powerful, or our gunpowder is powerful." When Wang Houchun saw these monsters, he immediately rushed to the front of the Tiance Army's battle formation, and began to beckon the Tiance Army in front to cover the retreat, and then adjusted the artillery battalion to put in the explosives package. At the same time, Chai Jia was ordered to lead the team to set off to meet Xue Wanli, and the two armies attacked again after converging.

The rumbling explosives bag relieved the retreating Tiance Army soldiers, in their opinion, the explosives bag has become a weapon to calm the hearts of the army, no matter what kind of monster the opponent is, as long as the explosive bag appears on the battlefield, there is no opponent who cannot win.

The explosive package exploded instantly after it fell, setting off a boundless explosion vortex around these monsters, and the terrible roar of these war elephants after being bombarded by the explosive bag continued to sound again, and the most ferocious war elephants in front of them were bombarded by four explosive bags in turn and fell down directly, and the remaining war elephants were also frightened by the explosion and fire that rose into the sky, and the formation began to be chaotic, and the original charging momentum stopped instantly. This scene made Xue Wanli and Chai Jia on the front line ecstatic, and the two immediately ordered the whole army to charge and began to launch a whole army attack.

The war elephant army was disrupted by the explosives bag, which also made Liu Changlu's face change greatly, the killer weapon that he had prepared for so long was actually calculated by the other party, and it seemed that the other party knew the war elephant he had prepared early on, so he would always hide the weapon of the explosive bag, just waiting for himself to put the war elephant into the battlefield.

The change in Liu Changlu's face made Lu Guangmu's face look like ashes, and he was surprised that this weapon had just begun to appear, and he even felt that he had the chance to win for a moment, but he didn't expect to be turned over by the other party in an instant. The damn explosion scattered the war elephant troops like a ghost, and the already chaotic war elephant troops couldn't even control their own people, and the formation of the coalition army was completely chaotic when they scattered, which was a great favor to the Tiance army.

"Order all soldiers and horses to retreat immediately, Brother Lu quickly follow me to Guangzhou for temporary refuge, Chaozhou can't hold it." Lu Guangmu's howl also made Liu Changlu sober up, and after hurriedly giving an order, he immediately pulled Lu Guangmu, who had fallen into a crazy situation, and fled directly on the horse regardless of it. As soon as they left, the entire coalition army lost its central command, and the dragons were even more chaotic without a leader, and there was no way to compete with the Tiance army. Some of the soldiers resisted stubbornly under the command of the middle and lower generals, and some began to retreat into the city, but most of them scattered like headless flies, and some even ran after the frightened war elephants.

"Haha, Houchun, it seems that your method works, how do you know that the explosives pack can restrain these monsters?" Yang Tiancheng saw that the overall situation of the front line had been decided, and immediately smiled.

Wang Houchun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't laugh at me, how do I know that the explosives bag can restrain these monsters?" It's just that the emperor said that gunpowder was an epoch-making weapon, and all our previous weapons had no room to fight back in the face of this kind of explosion, and for this reason, Xuan Yingwei gave gunpowder technology the strictest secrecy means. That's why I thought about leaving the explosives bag to deal with them, but I didn't expect it to hit them right. ”

Wang Houchun's words made Yang Tiancheng nod. The gunpowder technology that Li Xuanqing found was indeed a weapon of the Tiance Army, and I don't know how Li Xuanqing thought of it. However, it seems that Qiaoxi said that gunpowder was accidentally discovered by a Taoist alchemy in the past.

"Okay Houchun, the front has begun to capture prisoners, let's go and see if we enter the city early, Chaozhou is the location of Lu Guangmu's governance, this time he fled in a hurry, and he didn't take anything with him, this time we will also learn from Xiaosi to dig out a treasure." After Yang Tiancheng greeted Wang Houchun and set off, Xue Wanli on the front line had already led a team to capture prisoners all over the mountains. And Chai Jia led people to attack the city defense of Chaozhou City. At this time, Chaozhou City was air-defense, and it was impossible to compete with Chai Jia, so he was broken open and rushed in almost instantly.

"Let Chai Jia begin to prepare to take over Chaozhou City, and all those who make trouble will be killed. Let's take over Chaozhou completely. Yang Tiancheng hurriedly asked the guards to inform Chai Jia, and he and Wang Houchun quickly passed through the city gate to the city to stabilize the order.
