Anyway, at night, neither side could aim accurately, and the soldiers of the fourth battalion simply stood a little farther away and fired at the officers and soldiers at will, so that because the range of the Han guns was much greater than the bird guns in the hands of the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers fell one after another, but the soldiers of the fourth battalion did not suffer any casualties, because the iron bullets fired by the officers and soldiers fell as far as they could in front of them, smashing a big hole.

Not only that, but when the officers and soldiers were about to withdraw after the first round of shooting, and another column came forward for the second round of shooting, the soldiers of the fourth battalion took advantage of this gap to still shoot.

Soon, under the continuous fire, the array of officers and soldiers was scattered, and Yang Ming took advantage of this to immediately order the infantry soldiers of several other battalions to rush over.

The first and third battalions were directly covered by the two wings, and the sound of killing was so loud that the officers and soldiers were so frightened that they dropped their guns and ran away, and some of them didn't even know what was going on and became a little in a trance.

Li Zhanchun saw that he had killed dozens of people in a company before he stabilized the position, but as soon as he stabilized the position, there were dense iron bullets shooting in front, and again and again, the officers and soldiers simply did not have time to fill the medicine and launch it to give the enemy a counterattack.

"Lord Garrison, it seems that the firearms in the hands of these thieves have a longer range than us, and they can fire several times in a row!"

In fact, there is no need to be reminded, Li Zhanchun also found out. Seeing this, he had no choice but to order someone to bombard the musketeers in the distance with a tiger squat cannon.

However, at this time, it was too late, because the cavalry had already rushed from behind, and the soldiers who were transporting the tiger squat cannons were directly cut to death, and many officers and soldiers lost their heads without reacting at all, and the infantry of the first battalion, the second battalion, the third battalion, and the military police brigade directly under them were also killed at this time, and the spears in their hands had pierced the chests of countless officers and soldiers.

"The officers and troops have collapsed, the soldiers have already been mixed with them, shooting with muskets is no longer helpful, let the soldiers of the fourth battalion also rush up and try the bayonets of the Han gun, give the order to go down, kill until sunrise tomorrow, and then everyone will have breakfast here!" After Yang Ming said this, the fourth battalion immediately changed to bayonets and killed them with a scream.

"Childe has an order, kill until sunrise tomorrow!"

"Childe has an order, kill until sunrise tomorrow!"

……

The bayonets of the Han guns were indeed made of stainless steel, and their sharpness was indeed far better than that of ordinary spears, but some of the officers and soldiers who were still stubbornly resisting saw that these thieves were also holding firearms and came up desperately, but they were a little contemptuous, so they hurriedly stabbed these musketeers with spears with disdain, and the musketeers of the fourth battalion saw this and directly slashed down with bayonets, and simply split these spears in two, and then quickly stabbed them, and an officer was pierced through the heart.

At this moment, the entire official army camp collapsed, and there were countless thieves in front of them who were far stronger than themselves in assassination skills and fighting ability, reaping their lives, and behind them, there were galloping thieves and cavalry slashing left and right without any scruples, so that many officers and soldiers were killed before they could use sharp weapons such as three-eyed guns, crutches, and other sharp weapons to counterattack.

"Run! If you don't run, it's too late! ”

I don't know who shouted this first, and the other officers and soldiers followed and threw down their weapons and ran, and even some of the family members who had always been brave and good at fighting followed. Seeing this, Li Zhanchun had no choice but to gather the remnants of the army and flee in embarrassment, but just as he escaped from the camp, a short spear suddenly shuttled and pierced his neck directly, and it was Li Guangtian who threw the spear, he did not follow Yang Ming's order to lead the third standard to rest, but directly took the remaining soldiers of the third standard to participate in the counterattack.

After fighting all night, and by dawn the next day, there were not many officers and soldiers left, and nearly 4,000 corpses were left on the tidal flats along the entire river bank, and the entire river was also dyed red.

"How many casualties did our army have?" After the red sun first rose, everything returned to calm, and Yang Ming also chose a dry place to sit down.

"Hui Gongzi, there are a total of two hundred and three casualties, including one hundred and fifty-four casualties in the third bid," Lan Guanwei came back and forth.

"So, except for the third standard due to the large casualties of defending the city, our annihilation of Li Zhanchun's troops is almost zero casualties?"

Yang Ming couldn't believe it, because when he watched the Han family army clean up the battlefield, he had already found that the firearms and equipment of this group of officers and soldiers had reached more than seventy percent, which made him very surprised, and he thought that if these officers and soldiers resisted stubbornly, they were afraid that they would not be defeated by themselves so easily, because they could carry out powerful firepower strikes.

However, Yang Ming soon found the answer, because from the various types of firearms that were collected, there were almost three elements of the firearms with various quality defects, some of them burst the barrel after firing once, some simply broke into two, and a third of them were not fired at all, and even some brand-new firearms were directly discarded on the ground.

In addition, Yang Ming also found that many officers and soldiers who fell into the river and drowned did not fall into the river because of injuries, which also shows that these officers and soldiers had too poor night combat ability or too poor night vision, and they actually ran directly into the river. Perhaps, if it was during the day, the officers and soldiers could also counterattack to a certain extent, but Yang Ming happened to choose the night, and the Han army, which had greatly improved its night vision ability because of improved nutrition and professional training, could easily defeat this officer army in one fell swoop in the night.

In short, no matter what you say, the Han army once again annihilated 5,000 official troops. In this way, among the Sichuan officers and troops who participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Han army, the only two official armies with strong combat effectiveness no longer exist, and the Han army has successfully jumped out of the encirclement of the official army and occupied the initiative in the war. Next, what the Han army did was no longer self-preservation, but to expand the fruits of the war.

"Childe, Zeng Ying's department is now burning and looting in the area of Xinning County, Zhao Ronggui's department heard that we are besieging Tan Harmonic in Tanjialing and is rushing to Tanjialing, which one do you think we should solve first?" After resting, Bai Qian, deputy chief of staff, was busy informing Yang Ming of the latest progress of the official army.

Here, Lan Guanwei was the first to speak: "Otherwise, let's simply divide the troops into two ways, all the way to solve Zeng Ying's department, and all the way to Zhao Ronggui's department." ”

"Brother Guan Wei is right, we have now solved the two strongest teams, so in my opinion, now these two teams are not enough to fear, our fourth battalion can more than enough to solve one team, and then the brothers of other battalions can also solve the other team", the fourth battalion performed very well in these two annihilation battles, and even the general Yang Dazhu was a little proud, it seemed that in his eyes, there was no longer any officer and army that could be the enemy of the fourth battalion.

"But using a few broken guns to repel a few forces of officers and soldiers who are no different from peasants will make you proud, if you have the ability, go directly to take Hanzhong back!"

Yang Ming rebuked Yang Dazhu for a few words and said: "Brother Guan Wei said that it is not impossible to divide the troops to attack, but in this way, at most, it will repel the officers and soldiers, and ensure that Dongxiang County is still in our hands, but I remember to tell you that the situation on the battlefield changes with the changes of the war, and now we should not only focus on Baodong Township County, but also take advantage of this to further expand our sphere of influence, and take the surrounding prefectures and counties in one fell swoop with the power of a great victory, wouldn't it be better?" ”
