Chapter 197: The Power of Firearms (I)

In Huaili City, Jieliang County, Yuan Xin, the holy daughter of the Bright Sect, led 15,000 Guangming troops to garrison here, confronting the Yun family army of the Yunhua Yun clan.

In April of this year, there were only 10,000 Guangming troops in Huaili County, but as Yun Yi mobilized more Yunjia troops to Chenyang City, the pressure on Huaili City increased sharply, but because the main force of the Guangming Army first attacked Zezhou City and then attacked Dingxiang County, coupled with the attack of the warriors, in the end, only 5,000 Guangming troops were transferred from all over to reinforce Huaili County.

The registered warriors of the Warrior Guild have brought great trouble to the Bright Army in Zezhou, and the warriors have flowed all over Zezhou, and all the small groups of Bright Army encountered have suffered, and the Bright Army below a town does not dare to go out of the city at will, and in the past six months, at least 14,000 Bright Army soldiers and officers have died, for which Yunyi has paid less than 30,000 points to redeem things.

How much can 30,000 points be redeemed? Not even two three-hundred-year-old wild ginseng plants could be exchanged, and Yun Yi could easily wipe out so many of the Bright Army at a very small price in his opinion.

There are only a few people in the Guangming Army in Zezhou, in addition to the Guangming Army brought by Liu Kun, the master of Heishui Hall, from Suzhou, the Guangming Army in Zezhou plus the number of people killed in the battle is only 150,000, and now there are only about 80,000 people alive, half of them are in the battlefield of Dingxiang County, 15,000 are in Huaili County, and the rest are scattered all over Zezhou, and under the threat of warriors, they can only stick to various cities.

……

"Report to the Holy Maiden, after the enemy army left Chenyang City, the troops divided into two routes, all the way to the northwest, all the way to the northeast in the direction of our army, each of which was less than 15,000 enemy troops." The small commander of the Bright Army said to Yuan Xin.

"The soldiers are divided into two ways!" Yuan Xin, who was wearing a white scarf, muttered in a low voice.

The Guangming Army of Huaili City has confronted the Yun Family Army for a long time, and knows a lot about the Yun Family Army, such as the number of the Yun Family Army, the Yun Family Army is equipped with some strange iron pipe weapons, and so on.

The Yun clan gathered 30,000 troops near Chenyang City, but now the troops are divided into two routes, all the way to the northwest and all the way to the northeast, and the high-level of the Guangming Army in Huaili City can judge the reason why the Yun family army is divided into two roads without thinking: on the one hand, the Yun family army wants to go north to support the Shangguan clan, and on the other hand, it wants to prevent the Guangming Army of Huaili City from attacking Yunhua County, which is empty.

"Just because of less than 15,000 men, you want to defeat our army?" Not only Yuan Xin had doubts in his heart, but other high-level leaders of the Guangming Army were also puzzled, and then they gave the commander of the Yun Family Army a definition of "arrogance", all of them believed that the Yun Family Army had such an arrogant commander and command, and the Guangming Army would win this battle, even if they did not refuse to defend the city, but could win the field battle with the Yun Family Army.

There was even a high-level member of the Guangming Army who proposed: "I'm afraid that the Yun family army wants to make a false shot, and it will go back after coming out for a circle, so it is better for our army to take this opportunity to take the initiative to attack and eliminate this Yun family army." ”

"Yes, we take the initiative to attack, our army is more numerous than the enemy, our army is more united than the enemy, the two armies are fighting, and our army will definitely win." Other high-ranking members of the Bright Army agreed to the plan to take the initiative to join the army.

"Okay, order the whole army to prepare, and set off before the time comes." Yuan Xin thought about it, then agreed with the plan to send out the army and gave the order to go out.

"No!"

Before then, the Guangming Army of Huaili City had already been prepared, and the following troops under the command of their respective commanders left Huaili City and advanced to the southwest, and Huaili City was finally only left with a regiment of about 1,000 people to garrison.

On the other side, Yun Yi personally commanded the second and third divisions of the Yunjia Army, with a total of more than 14,000 men and horses, marching quickly in the direction of Huaili City, and Chenyang City was only more than two days away from Huaili City.

In the evening, Yun Yi received a message from the spies: Before the time came, the bright army of Huaili City was dispatched and attacked in the direction of our army.

Yun Yi's expression remained unchanged, but Lin Zheneng's general was happy, the strength of the Yun family army was only known to the Yun family army itself, only more than 11,000 people in the second division could confront five times the enemy, under the sharp firearms, no one in the Yun family army could resist wherever they went.

However, the Yunjia army also has shortcomings, the biggest disadvantage is night fighting, although Yun Yi provided ideas to develop a simple flare, but night combat is still the shortcomings of the Yunjia army, once the enemy rushes into the Yun family army, firearms are difficult to play.

The second is siege warfare, siege warfare is not too difficult for the Yun family army with artillery, but after entering the city, the damage of the Yun family army will not be small.

Therefore, the Yun family army can not engage in street battles without street fighting, but this does not mean that the Yun family army is afraid of street fighting, the Yun family army just wants to make their losses less.

Now the bright army of Huaili City actually poured out to fight with the Yun family army in the field, this is definitely a great thing, the Yun family army is not afraid of the field battle, after the Yun family army's own exercises, as long as the scale of the Yun family army is more than one town, at most five times the size of the enemy can be confronted or even defeated, if there are more enemies, but also adapt to the Yun family army's guns, then the enemy does not count the casualties to use the sea of people tactics, the Yun family army can not resist.

However, the Guangming Army on the opposite side is only 15,000 people, which is only a few thousand more than the second division of the Yunjia Army.

Yun Yi also understood this truth, but Yun Yi would not be overjoyed, and then Yun Yi gave an order: "The plan remains unchanged, continue to march according to the plan." ”

At the end of the first day, the two armies of the Yun family army and the Guangming army were only half a day's distance away, and if they continued to march at this pace today, it was expected that the first two armies would meet tomorrow.

Early the next morning, both the Yun family army and the Guangming army started to eat breakfast early, and a big battle was coming.

At three o'clock, the distance between the two armies was less than five miles.

Four miles

Three miles

"Stop, array." The distance between the two armies was only three miles away, and in this relatively wide place, Yun Yi ordered the Yun family army to stop and start arraying.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the drums sounded to stop the rhythm of the formation, the queue at the front of the Yun family army changed rapidly, and the firecrackers armed with firearms came to the forefront one after another, standing in three horizontal rows, loaded with lead bullets, and aimed their guns at the front.

The artillerymen carried guns of various calibers to the flanks of the ranks, loaded the guns with shells, and pointed their muzzles diagonally forward.

Behind the three columns of musketeers, there was a platoon of heavily armored shield soldiers, a platoon of pikemen, a platoon of Pak sword soldiers, and a platoon of rocket soldiers, which were scattered nearby.

According to the battle plan of the Yun family army, once the firecrackers approached the range of the enemy archers, the heavy armored shield soldiers would come to the front of the team to block the enemy's arrows for the firecrackers. [.]
