The Southwest Ming Army of the Xiying System once achieved good results in the Ming and Qing Wars by relying on war elephants, whether it was Li Dingguo's great breakthrough in the Yanguan Field Battle, or the forcible breakthrough of the Chenzhou City Gate, or Liu Wenxiu's sweep of the Qing army in Sichuan that year, the war elephants can be said to have made great contributions. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With such a terrifying formation-breaking army, with Xiying's recuperation in Yunnan, with Sun Kewang's internal affairs ability, and with Li Dingguo's use of troops like a god, it was possible to appear that the huge tide that once overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty and swept the world in the sixth year of Yongli appeared.

The war elephants rushed wildly, and the gunners of the Franc machine guns of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies retreated into the formation one after another. Next, as the war elephants continued to approach, the hollow phalanx that was about to be attacked by the war elephants immediately opened a big opening, revealing the inside of the phalanx. At the same time, the war elephant had no room to turn, so he rushed in stunned.

The war elephant is the strongest mobile fortress in the era of cold weapons, and it is also said to be an ancient tank. The war elephant fearlessly rushed into the hollow phalanx, and in an instant, the infantry of the guards just rushed in, but the gap in the phalanx closed as if the door was closed, and then the Qin Domain's battle array, which had followed up from that distance, was closed outside, and they directly stopped their charge by relying on the spear of one foot and five feet.

In an instant, the battlefield was divided into inside and outside, and the battle array that was resting outside failed to take advantage of the situation to rush in, so they had to retreat a little bit. The first is to take a breath and readjust the battle formation, and the second is to wait for the war elephants that have rushed into the "enemy group" to exert their might and destroy the entire phalanx, so that they can better take the opportunity to cover and kill. However, in the next second, what they were waiting for was not the roar of war elephants in the heart of the phalanx!

The war elephant rushed into the phalanx, but the driver did not see his officers, but only a clearing surrounded by the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Zhejiang. When they looked closely, except for the side they rushed into, the other three sides of the hollow phalanx had already changed their formations, and the spears were no longer outward, but pointed diagonally in the direction of the war elephants. What made the driver's heart tremble even more was that in front of the spear, all the firecrackers in this bureau pointed their guns at the huge body of the war elephant without exception

There are as many as forty or fifty fire guns. This is clearly a trap created through the change of battle formations, specially dug for these war elephants!

Before the saliva in the driver's mouth could be swallowed, before the war elephant could rush in, he came to the center of the clearing, and with an order, the fire hammers on the front, back, left and right pressed the trigger one after another.

The salvo rang out, and the smoke enveloped the entire hollow phalanx, and the explosion of the salvo had not yet dissipated, but the wailing sound of the war elephant soared upward, and the explosion was directly suppressed.

By the time the smoke cleared, the other three musketeers had already retreated behind the spear formation, but what they saw was that the war elephant that had just been unstoppable had fallen to the ground in the midst of the waiting spear forest, and even the pilots, archers, and the guards had fallen to the blood. I just don't know if this blood is a war elephant, or theirs, or both.

When the elephant fell to the ground, the pikemen swarmed up and stabbed at the elephant, even with the riders, archers, and guards, until they were sure that the enemy was completely dead, and the firemen and auxiliaries of the army were left to clean up the corpses.

No matter how thick the skin and flesh of a war elephant is, it may only be a flesh wound in the face of a bird's gun, but at this distance, although the Lumi gun is light, it is enough to cause greater actual damage, not to mention that there are heavy arquebuses such as the turtledove's foot gun, and the bullet passes through the skin and flesh to the internal organs, if it is not a war elephant, it is not impossible to penetrate directly.

Most of the war elephants were killed directly in the hollow phalanx, but it was not without survivors, and the pain made the war elephants go berserk. However, then, pikemen from three directions swarmed up, such a behemoth, in the end, it was also made of flesh and blood, even if it caused some casualties, it was inevitable to die under this random gun.

At this moment, as the staff officer of the Pujiang battalion, Zhang Gongyan subconsciously sighed. When the war elephant rushed into the battle formation just now, it was so majestic and domineering, but after a blink of an eye, it was quickly surrounded and annihilated in the formation, even worse than simply rushing in a group of enemy troops - after all, at such a distance, the hollow phalanx shot inward, crossed the enemy army, and the opposite side was also robes, and it was inevitable that there would be a mistake or something. However, the size of this war elephant is really not small, and as long as the firecrackers pointed upwards at the war elephant's drive, accidental injury could not have happened.

"This army has been trained so far, don't say that it is Guan Zhang's general, such a behemoth is a mortal situation, and Jiannu should be a problem!"

This has reached the gate of Guizhou, and if it is according to Sun Kewang's transformation boundary, this is even Guizhou. After Guizhou, the next is Yunnan, where his hometown is. Perhaps, this time I can also return home.

"It's a pity that the Tartars haven't been completely wiped out, and now that I'm back in my hometown, I feel a little shameless to see Jiangdong's father."

When he went to Zhejiang with the mission, he wrote a letter home when he decided to stay, and he wanted to follow Chen Wen to kill the Tartars in Zhejiang, and even quoted Huo Quai's famous sentence "The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home". However, although he has now forced the Manchu Qing to the brink of extinction, he has finally missed the door, which really makes him feel a little regretful.

Reverie only lingered in Zhang Gongyan's mind for a moment, and soon he refocused his attention on the battle in front of him. The Pujiang Battalion is a subordinate unit of the Yuyao Division, and it is the head of the old battalion that has been built for a long time, and it also walked 100 miles overnight to attack Lanxi County from Zhengjiawu Town, thus realizing the encirclement and annihilation of most of the 8,000 Han Army and Eight Banners.

At this moment, the Yuyao Division was on the right flank of the Ming Army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the northernmost part of the battlefield, and then went north into the mountainous area and was even more upstream of the water, Zhang Gongyan, a veteran staff officer of the base camp and Zhang Hongde, a new battalion officer who was a general, was also concerned about the safety of the flanks while commanding the operations of the base camp.

"Battalion officer, staff officer, there is movement in the mountains on the side, and the cavalry of the brigade is moving in the direction of Yuanzhou Prefecture."

Hearing this, the two Zhang glanced at each other, and then Zhang Gongyan nodded, Zhang Hongde continued to command the base camp to fight, and he found a herald to explain this information to his people, so that the herald could rush to Shuai Qi as soon as possible to report to Chen Wen. However, when he returned to the camp flag, he saw Zhang Hongde frowning, and when he came back, he pointed in the direction of the front of the battle.

Through the binoculars, Zhang Gongyan immediately noticed that in front of the battle, there were some soldiers in the direction of the Qin Domain's army who were wearing felts and milling their feet, and dressed in alternative clothes were coming out of the crowd, and what was even more conspicuous was that everywhere they went, the soldiers of the Qin Domain all got out of the way, and they seemed to have a considerable degree of trust in them.

"Rollo?"

"Rollo!"

Not only Zhang Gongyan and them, but all the forward commanders quickly noticed these Yi warriors, even Chen Wen. It's just that he didn't care about this, just took a cursory glance and focused his attention on Sun Kewang's banner of King Qin.

The battle in front of the battle continued, and the spears that were five feet long were like a moat, lying between the two armies, which made the army of the Qin Domain, which was still using swords, shields and seven- or eight-foot spears, which were more capable of exerting personal bravery, always be in a passive situation.

With the last war elephant falling to the ground in the hollow phalanx, the army of the Qin Domain also completely fell into a one-sided hand-to-hand combat. If this continues, it will inevitably be a fiasco, so Sun Kewang sent all those Luo Luo in his hands.

This army was formed by Sun Kewang after the Battle of the Fork in the Road, and because Rollo performed well in the confrontation, he recruited as many as he could after the heavy defeat, which came in handy.

Luo Luo held two knives in his hand, and rushed forward like a mad tiger when he changed to the front of the formation. As in previous battles, Luo Luo was separated from each other at a greater distance in order to fly up and down with the double knives in their hands, they have always been the warriors in the southwest Ming army, and the battle line entered the stalemate to break the vanguard of the formation, and the encounter here was the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, different from the previous Qing army, but they were still the same, ignoring those spear jungles and rushing to kill the past.

However, the next scene made all the Qin soldiers present feel frightened, because those Luo Luo who were clothed in felt and milled their feet rushed to the front of the battle, and under the stabbing of several spears, they blocked left and right, but they still could not avoid being stabbed to death in the original fate.

Liao resolutely accepted the spear, and the Luo Luo in front of him did not fall for a while under the support of the spear in the hand of the recruit next to him, but judging from the color of the blood gushing out of his mouth, it was clearly injured in his internal organs, and there was basically no way to live.

The heavy armor is a burden even if it is a physical body that is practiced every day, but it doesn't matter if the armor is heavy, it is much safer than these barefoot girls in front of them, who are wearing some leather armor at most, wielding double knives, and it is clear that they want to exert their martial arts to the extreme.

"What are these things for, not even a shield for the gun, isn't this death?"

There are many questions in my heart, in fact, not only him, but many Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies have such thoughts. Cold weapons battle in formation, if you want to break the spear formation, it is best to use the shield array, even if it has developed to today's new battle formation with spears and firearms, not less than the length of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies spears with swords and shields The mouse battle is also very threatening, how can there be even a shield to go into battle, this is not a one-on-one duel, this is a real sense of the battle in array!

These Luo Luo are all warriors in various villages, and they are also troops with high hopes in the southwest Ming army. However, this kind of troops, which try to maximize their individual martial arts, are far inferior to those ordinary sword and shield soldiers and pikemen in the face of team-based tactics.

The climax of swords, swords, and blood has not yet been staged, and the curtain has come to an end, such a scene really scares everyone in the Qin Domain's army, so that after the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies have killed all these Yi warriors, they can still have a little time to adjust the formation before fighting with those Qin Domain soldiers again.

War elephants and Luo Luo, these are the two most representative special arms of the Southwest Ming Army, and even in order to allow them to play the greatest role, the Southwest Ming Army's own tactics have been improved to a certain extent. However, these two weapons to break the formation were completely useless in front of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the war elephant was fine, at least it changed its formation, but Luo Luo sank into a pool of blood without even making a splash, and disappeared again.

Sun Kewang listened to all this dumbfounded, and fear began to spread in his heart, but when he thought that he was now the object of King Chen Wenqin, when he thought that he was already a usurper reserve in the eyes of Yongli, when he thought of how he had bullied and manipulated Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu for so many years, and even when he thought that there was no longer even a single Qing army south of the Yangtze River, this fear of no way back instantly overpowered the fear of defeat - now, all he could do was fight to the death here.

"How long has it been since Wu Dading and Zhang Sheng, the two wastes, have not been killed in Yuanzhou Prefecture?!"

This is Sun Kewang's third hand in this battle, and it is also the last killer weapon, compared to the war elephant and Luo Luo, the tactics of sneak attack on the back road are not new, there are too many people at home and abroad in ancient and modern times, and there is no shortage of him. And just when he was anxious about this, Chen Wen also received Zhang Gongyan's battle report, not only the battle report, he had already seen some hazy red objects on the side of the mountain pass north of Yuanzhou Prefecture City at this moment, which was gradually expanding, rapidly expanding in the direction of the state city.

"Cut off all the pontoons, and leave them alone for the rest. There is a battalion of soldiers in the state city, and the baggage and auxiliary soldiers are all in the city, and they will not feel a little distressed if they are allowed to make trouble and burn down those empty stockades. ”

Sun Kewang has been entrenched here for many years, and he knows very well about the terrain in between, but Chen Wen is not as ignorant of it as he imagined. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming troops rushed here soon after capturing the capital city of Chenzhou, and for such a long time, the staff department of the army had already carried out a minimum survey and mapping of the surrounding 100 miles, if it could still be caught off guard by Sun Kewang, then the staff department was still disbanded.

However, there is a huge disparity in the number of troops, and the army that Chen Wen can use on the main battlefield will be further reduced. In this case, leaving a battalion to guard the auxiliaries and baggage in the state city can rest easy.

Not to Chen Wen's surprise, Wu Dading and Zhang Sheng took the 7,000 iron cavalry to go around the city of Yuanzhou Prefecture and did not find any flaws, they were cavalry, there was no possibility of attacking the city, and they could only rush towards those pontoon bridges, in a vain attempt to cross the water, so as to realize the surprise attack on the back of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang. However, when they rushed to the bank of the water, the pontoon bridge had been cut off from the west bank, and there was no last resort, so Wu Dading and Zhang Sheng had to burn down those camps respectively, in a vain attempt to cause greater psychological pressure on the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang.

Smoke rose in the direction of Yuanzhou, and there was inevitably a little commotion on the side of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, but since the establishment of the army, this army has been known for its strict military law, and under the eyes of military judges and pacification soldiers, the prestige created by the leather whips and military sticks in the training camp and the barracks pressed down on the hearts of the soldiers like mountains, so that they could not give birth to even the slightest abnormal movement. During this period, the prison officers also tried their best to appease, but there was no chaos.

In contrast, the smoke on the other side of the river was undoubtedly a supplement and stimulus to the morale of the Qin army, and the soldiers did their best to maintain the battle line, and even Sun Kewang sent the front army as a reserve, just to replace the battalion leaders who were badly damaged and about to collapse.

The exchange ratio showed an overwhelming disadvantage, and now it was nothing more than relying on the superiority of troops and Wu Dading's last breath to hold on, and hold on until the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming armies showed fatigue under the wheel war, and were overwhelmed by exhaustion and psychological pressure.

Time passed minute by minute, the sun had already begun to slowly fall, and after more than two hours of fighting, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies did seem a little tired, but on the side of the Qin army, the various fronts had already been gnawed like wolf teeth and dogs, and even the minimum front was difficult to maintain.

Perhaps, the moment that decides the outcome will appear in the next second.
