"Oops, Wang Shangli ran away!"

Tan Xiao jumped on a big stone violently, looked at the top of the mountain with his hand covering the sun, on the top of the mountain, Wang Shangli's banner had disappeared, and two fireworks with unknown meanings flew into the air.

"His grandmother's, Wang Shangli is really an old fox, Lao Tzu miscalculated again!" Tan Xiao was so angry that he scolded, he fought with Wang Shangli several times today, and every time he felt awkward, either he suffered a small loss, or he was controlled by others, if it wasn't for the stronger combat effectiveness of the troops, maybe he would really lose the battle.

At the beginning, Tan Xiao wanted to penetrate Wang Shangli's back and separate him from Liu Wenxiu, but he was confused and matched with Wang Shangli's main force, and did not realize his strategic intentions.

What made Tan Xiao most angry was that he had already eaten the 2,000 Western Army behind the mountain on the south side, but at the last moment, he was killed by Wang Shangli to break through the siege and rescue Zhang Wu, who was about to be captured.

Cleaning up his mood, he laid an ambush behind the mountain on the north side, preparing to give Wang Shangli a siege point to send reinforcements, seeing that Wang Shangli had rushed down the hillside, but he suddenly ran away, and only sent an untidy army to continue the attack, Tan Xiao took a closer look, the main general of the other party was Zhou Wuding, who had deceived him once just now, and now he was violently killing more than a thousand old and weak soldiers, which was simply an insult to his IQ!

"Wang Shangli, this guy must have wanted to run away a long time ago, and he deceived Lao Tzu so hard."

Tan Xiao had to admit that compared with a battle-hardened veteran like Wang Shangli, his ability to command operations was still significantly inferior, and the other party may have seen through his intentions a long time ago, knowing that he wanted to surround the point to send reinforcements, but he intended to plan and kill the mountain with a false shot, and then turned around and left, but Tan Xiao thought that the plan was for sale, and put thousands of main forces behind the mountain, revealing a gap on the other side.

"Brothers, chase me! Don't let Wang Shangli go! ”

Although he was hit hard, Tan Xiao had a lot of nerves, and he had long accepted the setting that he was a second-rate general, although he fell for Wang Shangli's "trick", he was not discouraged, and immediately led his troops to chase and kill from behind.

Some of the generals on the left and right asked: "General Tan, Zhou Wuding has been killed, do you want to stabilize your position first, defeat him and then chase Wang Shangli?" ”

Tan Xiao shook his head: "Zhou Wuding's guy is just a good thing, you don't have to waste your energy for him, just drive him away." ”

Eat a trench, grow a wisdom, General Tan was no longer disturbed by Zhou Wuding, led thousands of tiger and wolf soldiers, and rushed up the hill with great momentum, Zhou Wuding really collapsed at the touch, turned around and ran, and ran faster than Tan Xiao.

Tan Xiao panted to the top of the mountain, raised his eyes to look into the distance, suddenly laughed, and scolded: "Wang Shangli, Wang Shangli, even if you are a rabbit spirit, don't try to find a cheap advantage in the hands of Lao Tzu, hehe, Chen Youlong is good, Bian Xiang is good, Zhenxiao soldiers and Ningzhou soldiers are all good!" ”

The official road in the distance was undulating with the mountains, and the main force of the Western Army led by Wang Shangli was retreating, but the Zhenxiao soldiers and Ningzhou soldiers bit them tightly, forcing Wang Shangli to stop repeatedly and engage them.

Although Wang Shangli knew that the situation was not good, he felt that it had not yet reached the point of escaping the way and escaping, since he was bitten by the Zhenxiao soldiers and the Ningzhou soldiers, blindly escaping would become a rout, so he repeatedly turned around to face the battle, forced the Chu army to retreat, and then continued to retreat, Chen Youlong and Bian Xiang fought very patiently, the enemy retreated and I advanced, the enemy ran and I chased, the enemy stopped and wanted to fight hard, they were very face-saving to retreat, not to give Wang Shangli a chance to fight hard, so stop and go, Wang Shangli did not go far for a long time.

The speed of the Chu army's fleet was much faster than that of Wang Shangli.

It was so fast that Tan Xiao didn't even see them.

Wang Shangli was still moving back little by little, but the Chu army fleet was already approaching Liu Wenxiu's Chinese army.

……

Although Liu Tichun was the chief general of the First Army, he stayed in the rear and directly commanded the musketeers to attack, it was Wang Yi, the division commander of the musket unit itself, in addition, there were also a group of middle and low-level officers, who connected the upper and lower levels to form a complete command system, and Zhu Huaqi and Da Guniu were among them.

These 3,000 musketeers are the elite selected from tens of thousands of people, Zhu Huaqi and Da Gu Niu are now veteran-qualified musketeer officers, after being transferred to the Western Expeditionary Army, they were demoted and used, and they became company commanders and platoon commanders respectively, despite this, they still regard being selected for the Western Expeditionary Army as a great honor, Wang Kefan once personally instructed that the Western Expeditionary Army is the first strategic force of the Chu Army to attack and attack, and it will not only advance thousands of miles into Guizhou, but also sweep the southwest, fight all over the world, and become the vanguard and model of the whole army.

The marching drum rhythm is bright and impassioned, two thousand musketeers step on the drums, and force the western army with neat steps, although they are not wearing armor, or only wearing thin light armor and leather armor, and their feet are also simple straw sandals, but between the lines and the free kind of momentum to look at the world, just look at the description of those soldiers, you know that they are looking up at the western army opposite coldly, just like the butcher sees the pig and sheep, he will naturally look for a suitable position to put the knife, their eyes are only staring at the flaws in the western army, is a blind attitude towards the weapons in the hands of the Western Army - pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, can they still hurt people?

Even if it is far away, Liu Wenxiu can keenly feel this murderous aura.

On the contrary, those scribes and masters did not feel anything, and they were still cheering loudly for the Western Army, because of the terrain, the Chu army musketeers were forced to divide 1,000 troops, hold the official road and their own rear formation, and the troops put into the attack were only 2,000 people, which made the scribes and masters more optimistic, quoting scriptures one by one, and using various military celebrities to prove that the Chu army would be defeated and the Western army would win.

Liu Wenxiu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and with a slight wave of his hand, all the noise behind him disappeared.

"Outflank, hurry up and outflank the wings!"

After the Chu army began to attack, Qi Sansheng was also adjusting the deployment accordingly, he relied on the advantage of troops, sent two troops to outflank the left and right, and formed a U-shaped attack on the Chu army, in the face of the world-famous Chu army musketeers, he did not dare to have the slightest reservation, and sent 6,000 armor soldiers up, at the same time, 500 cavalry were also ready for battle, mounted on the horse and carrying a knife, ready to charge at any time.

"All of them, set!"

The drums stopped suddenly, and in the sound of the officers' orders, the soldiers of the Chu army stopped, rotated the direction of the queue, and formed an N-shaped combat formation, which was-for-tat with the Western army.

"All of them, guns up!"

Wow~! Two thousand people raised their guns at the same time, and there was only one voice.

The murderous aura was even stronger, Liu Wenxiu's heart trembled slightly, but suddenly he heard the drums and trumpets behind Qi Sansheng, the Western Army had already launched an attack first - the Chu Army's flintlock pistols were too far away, and the archers of the Western Army couldn't reach them, if the other party was allowed to fire at this distance, the Western Army could only be beaten and could not fight back, so it was attacked at the last moment.

"Kill!"

"Kill !!"

The Western Army had been gathering momentum for a long time, and suddenly launched a charge, like a flood that burst the embankment, unstoppable.

In order to restrain the musketeers of the Chu army, the generals of the Western Army thought of many methods, and finally came to the conclusion that they must invest enough troops at one time, and then charge at full speed, rush through the enemy's fire blockade area as soon as possible, and start hand-to-hand combat with the musketeers of the Chu army.

Qi Sansheng did this today, he put 6,000 armor soldiers into battle at one time, and at the same time outflanked the left and right, spreading his troops as much as possible, the distance between the soldiers was very loose, but there were more than ten rows on top of each other...... If it is in a white-knuckle battle where the enemy is in full battle, such an offensive formation does not have any impact force, and it is basically to let the soldiers go to death, but the musketeers of the Chu army have neither armor nor suitable cold weapons, and the formation is very thin, Qi Sansheng believes that as long as his armor soldiers rush forward, the chaotic battle can be easily won.

Yes, Qi Sansheng also admitted that since the formation of the musket unit of the Chu army, especially after it was equipped with a new type of flintlock musket, few people have been able to break through their fire blockade and force the Chu army's musketeers to engage in white-knuckle combat, so that the Chu army's musketeers have the myth of invincibility in the world, but Qi Sansheng is completely sure today that this set of specially prepared tactics will definitely be a great success.

Myths are meant to be broken.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Qi Sansheng urged the horse forward, brandishing the horse sword to personally supervise the battle. He clearly knew that the musketeers of the Chu army were indeed very powerful, and his 6,000 armored soldiers were estimated to have no fewer casualties in the process of charging, but as long as they were not afraid of sacrifice and moved forward bravely, the final victory would definitely belong to the Western Army.

"Qi Sansheng is very smart, he actually knows how to charge with skirmishers."

Seeing the menacing Western Army, Liu Tichun's palms were slightly damp, a little excited, and a little nervous. There are also many musketeers in his troops, but they have not yet changed their flintlock pistols, and they are all equipped with improved bird guns produced by the Chu Army Arsenal.

"General Erhu rest assured, our army will win." A staff officer who graduated from a military academy said confidently: "Wang Junmen once said that musketeers armed with flintlock muskets are the strongest army in the world, and any army that encounters them in a field battle, if there is no ten-to-one force, the only correct tactic is only one word: retreat, retreat immediately!" ”

"It's not a word, is it?" Liu Tichun smiled.

The staff officer also laughed, and opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the deafening sound of gunfire.

"Fire!"

With the officer's order, Zhu Huaqi, who was standing at the head of the team, swung his saber hard, and twenty paces away, the big bull who had been staring at him for a long time swung his saber almost at the same time, giving the order to fire at the soldiers, and the thirty soldiers in his platoon pulled the trigger at the same time, and the muzzle of the gun jumped up sharply, and the large ball of fire and smoke pushed lead bullets one after another, flying out of the chamber at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye, and shooting towards the Western army on the opposite side.
