After several loud bangs in a row, within a radius of a few meters, there was no distinction between friend and foe, flesh and blood flew sideways, and all life was instantly emptied. Under the impact of this huge wave of sound, not only the enemy army fell into chaos, but even the Ming army itself was stunned. Fortunately, the amount of gunpowder in the ammunition trucks of the Ming army was limited, otherwise, Zhu Ciyan, who was about 30 meters away from the explosion area, would have been killed by the baggage detonated by himself.

This time the detonation of the baggage car, although the sacrifice was great, but the Ming army won enough time.

"Your Excellency......" suggested that Zhu Ciyun's person blow up the baggage truck pressed Zhu Ciyan under him at the moment of the explosion, and as soon as the explosion was over, he immediately checked Zhu Ciyan.

"Your Excellency, you should immediately order the whole army to line up!" This person found that Zhu Ciyan was not injured at all, so he let out a long breath before suggesting loudly.

"What did you say?" Zhu Ciyan's ears were still ringing, and he couldn't hear other sounds at all.

"Array." This person is obviously an extremely experienced veteran, in the explosion just now, he was fully prepared, although his ears still have tinnitus, but he can barely hear Zhu Ciyan's voice, he raised the order flag of the flag officer.

"You command, I can't hear clearly." Zhu Ciyan is not hypocritical, he is a little out of proportion now.

"Infantry formation! Dragoons assist the people in battle. The man raised the command flag and commanded in a loud voice.

In the Ming army's combat system, Lingqi command was used not only in the navy, but also in the army. The soldiers who could hear it immediately began to assemble when they heard the order, and the soldiers who couldn't hear it quickly assembled on Zhu Cijun's side when they saw the flag.

The 2,000 soldiers quickly completed the formation, and the Minfu, under the supervision of the dragoons, relied on the baggage carts to launch a counterattack against the enemy, although the Minfu could not resist the enemy's attack, but was able to effectively slow down the enemy's movements. According to the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the people who died on the battlefield have a pension, although the pension is only half of the soldiers, but this makes the people have the idea of resistance when they encounter danger.

Once the Ming army completes the formation, even if there is no artillery support, relying on the Apocalypse Gun in his hand, it will be difficult for the enemy to break the formation in a short period of time. The chaotic situation of the Ming army finally ended, and the two armies entered a phase of stalemate.

……

The Ming army in Chasing Horse City was the first to know that the baggage team was secretly attacked, but the defenders of Chasing Horse City only had 2,000 people, and these two thousand people were more than enough to defend the city, but the attack was powerless, and they immediately reported the situation to the defenders of Jiayu Pass.

Heiyunlong was in Jiayuguan at this time, and when he heard the news, his face suddenly turned pale, and he immediately ordered, "Order the dragoons of the Third Army to assemble urgently and set off within a quarter of an hour." ”

Although the dragoons of the Third Army were only 5,000 people, they were the oldest dragoons and the most elite dragoons of the Ming army, equipped with one man and two horses.

A quarter of an hour later, Black Cloud Dragon set off on time with five thousand dragoons.

"My lord, at such a speed, even if there is one person and two horses, the war horse can't stand it." Since the departure of the army, Hei Yunlong ordered the whole army to advance at full speed, he was not thinking about horses and people at this time, he only had Zhu Ciyan's safety in mind.

"It doesn't matter if we're all dead, nothing can happen to this baggage team! Tell the whole army not to stop, to move forward at full speed! The Black Cloud Dragon said anxiously.

"No."

……

More than 10,000 people cooperated with the 3,000 Ming army to completely block the army of Haraerchi.

"Order the whole army to prepare to retreat with baggage." Haraerchi ordered.

"Leader, the Ming army has no artillery support, although relying on the advantage of the Apocalypse Gun temporarily resisted the attack of our army, but the Ming army rushed to meet the battle, judging from the current situation, the Ming army must not carry much ammunition, and our army will be able to defeat the Ming army in half an hour at most."

"This place is only half a day's journey from Jiayuguan at most, if it is cavalry, the speed will be faster, if we don't retreat, I'm afraid that the Ming army reinforcements will come up, and then it will be troublesome." Order the whole army to retreat immediately! Haraerchi explained.

"Yes."

Less than half an hour after Haraerchi's army retreated, the dragoons of the Black Cloud Dragon arrived.

"Staff Officer Huang, where is Staff Officer Huang?" The Black Cloud Dragon asked anxiously.

"My lord, Staff Officer Huang was slightly injured, and he was overworked, so he has already slept." At this time, someone came up and preached.

Zhu Cixuan went to the battlefield for the first time to fight the enemy, the first time he saw the scene of flesh and blood, and the first time he commanded the battle, although the battle was not commanded by him at a critical stage, it also made him haggard. When he saw the retreat of Hara'erchi's army, he was so angry that he fell asleep.

"Take me to see it." Black Cloud Dragon said.

After confirming that Zhu Ciyan was only asleep, Heiyunlong ordered the whole army to withdraw to Chasing Horse City.

Hara Erchi really stabbed the hornet's nest this time, he didn't know that he almost let the second prince Zhu Ciyan stay on this land forever. Hearing the news of Zhu Ciyan's attack, Zhao Shujiao specially rushed back from the Handong Left Guard.

"The territory of the Seven Guards of Kansai is vast, and the terrain is extremely complicated, even if there are 100,000 troops in ambush, it is difficult to detect it for a while, and I misestimate the strength of the tribes living in the Seven Guards of Kansai." Zhao Shujiao said.

"The enemy army of this sneak attack is Hara Erchi, it is said that there are about 15,000 elite cavalry, in addition to Hara Erchi, the army lurking in the Guanxi Seven Guards should be more than 50,000 people, the Guanxi Seven Guards are the grain route of our army's westward expedition, once something happens, the western expedition is very likely to be wasted." Heiyunlong was really frightened this time, in his heart, he thought that if something really happened to Zhu Ciyan, it would definitely be more serious than his own death. He was now bent on eradicating Hara'er Chi once and for all.

"Please, explain the situation to Your Majesty and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, first stabilize the Seven Guards of Kansai, as long as the Seven Guards of Kansai are stable, our army will advance and retreat, and everything will be under control." Zhao Shujiao said.

"What your lord said is very true, you and I will go to the emperor together to ask for an order, how about it?" Black Cloud Dragon said.

"Yes, I will prepare the recital today, and I will send it to Jingshi tomorrow." Zhao Shujiao nodded.

Hara Erchi really stabbed the hornet's nest this time, he didn't know that he almost let the second prince Zhu Ciyan stay on this land forever. Hearing the news of Zhu Ciyan's attack, Zhao Shujiao specially rushed back from the Handong Left Guard.
