Dawn came almost instantaneously, and a red sun suddenly leaped over the eastern horizon, dyeing the entire sky a rose red.

Under the baking of the sun, the water vapor on the ground steamed up, and a layer of white mist shrouded the field.

On the opposite side is the camp of Yue Tuo's army, and from here, the darkness is full of tents, earthen ramparts, lookouts, and fences, which are endless, and almost the entire eye is occupied.

Unlike the tranquility of dawn, the entire Qing army camp was full of figures walking around. In the fog ahead, you can vaguely see the Jinan city wall, there are flickering fires, followed by thunderous explosions, tidal shouts and tragic screams.

After a night's march, the Ningxiang army finally resisted the battlefield. Sun Yuan and Liu Yuliang's sedan chair stopped, and all the officers gathered around.

The team had all returned to the system, and stood behind Sun Yuan in a neat queue.

Fei Hong had already counted his troops, totaling more than 5,100 people. Of them were seven hundred cavalrymen, one hundred artillerymen, two thousand musketeers, and the rest were spearmen. After a night of marching in the mud, all the people were tired, and their heads were full of mud, and they looked dirty. Even though it was so hard, no one in the Ningxiang Army was left behind.

The war horses all stood quietly in the mud and snorted, and bags of armor buns were placed beside them.

In an instant, Sun Yuan returned to the Battle of Chuzhou in a trance, and it was the same as now, there was mud everywhere, and there was mud everywhere.

Today's weather, the color is good!

Liu Yuliang let out a long breath: "After walking all night, my body bones really can't stand it." I was going to stare at it first, and when I woke up, I might have already entered Jinan City. It's so cold, it looks like I can't sleep. ”

Sun Yuan smiled: "If the elder doesn't want to sleep, then move forward with the Chinese army." He asked Tang again what was the situation in front of him?

Tang Wenxing's answer was very simple: "People, there are people everywhere, there are more than 20,000 Jiannu, plus people and auxiliary soldiers, the total number is more than 100,000, just like dumplings." ”

Sun Yuan: "Can you find the location of Yue Tuo's army?" ”

"It's over there." Tang Wenxing pointed to the southeast direction and replied.

"Okay, then choose there as the main direction of attack and hit it in one go." Sun Yuan nodded.

Fei Hong reminded Sun Yuan: "General Sun, it seems that Jiannu was besieging the city last night, and the camp was heavily guarded. ”

"Don't be afraid, first open the way with artillery, and then the cavalry rush in along the gap opened by the artillery. The infantry kept the artillery moving forward until the enemy was completely crushed. Sun Yuan said awe-inspiringly: "The enemy's main forces are attacking the city now, don't be afraid." Minibus! ”

Pablo stepped forward: "General, I'm here. ”

Sun Yuan: "The artillery is ready." ”

"No problem, you can go into battle right away."

"Good!" Sun Yuanyi waved his hand: "Let's start!" Then he nodded towards Dafang: "Xiaofang, help me get on the horse?" ”

All the generals were shocked, and said in unison: "General, you are so seriously injured, how can you still go into battle and fight?" ”

Liu Yuliang was also shocked, and shouted repeatedly: "Taichu, you have broken an arm, how can you charge into battle, mess around, mess around." Someone, stop him! ”

The guards looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward to stop them, in the minds of everyone, Sun Yuan could be described as a god-like figure.

Sun Yuan smiled faintly: "This battle is very important, as Tang Wenxing said just now, people, there are people everywhere. Once the battle breaks out, once our army enters the enemy's formation, it will be regarded as entering a vast sea of people. No one can stand by and watch, state affairs are like this, Jiannu has hit the hinterland of my Ming Dynasty, and no one can stand idly by. Have you forgotten the rules of my Ningxiang Army, Chen Tieshan, you tell everyone that my Ningxiang Army must ...... every battle"

Chen Tieshan: "Every time my Ningxiang Army fights, all officers will charge forward. You have to shout, follow me, not me. But the general ......"

Waved his hand to interrupt Chen Tieshan's words.

"That's right, this is the tactics of my Ningxiang Army, every battle, the officer will charge ahead." Sun Yuan shouted: "As the commander of the Ningxiang Army, if you can't even do this, how can you command you." Needless to say, if anyone stops it, military law will prevail. Xiao Fang, help me get on the horse? ”

"Yes!" Dafang responded, walked to the horse, knelt down on one knee, stretched out his hand and raised it at Sun Yuan's feet, and helped Sun Yuan onto the war horse.

The action of going on the saddle was too big, pulling the fractured left hand, and it hurt so much that Sun Yuan's vest broke out in a layer of cold sweat. He waved the knife in his hand: "Let's go, watch me go and get Yue Tuo's head!" But he shouted in his heart: "Bad luck, this left hand is really painful." Damn, pity me for being injured like this, and I have to take the lead, I don't want to! But I won't go, I won't take the head on Yue Tuo's corpse alone, if I let other people know, what kind of earth-shattering achievement will I get?

"Kill!" The cavalrymen rode slowly and followed.

Then there were groups of infantry in neat formations.

It was the first time for the Ningxiang Army to attack an enemy camp with a perfect defense system, and in the past few battles, Sun Yuan had opened a field battle with the enemy. He still doesn't have much confidence in his subordinates' ability to attack and raid.

However, as an army, it is constantly breaking its camps, and it will have to participate in siege warfare in the future, which is an unavoidable problem. Even if you are worried in your heart, when the time comes, you have to pull the troops out and try it. And the real history has not changed, Yue Tuo is already so sick that he only has half a breath left, maybe he will die of illness today. If nothing else, the command center of the Qing army at this moment is out of order, and it is at its weakest moment.

In this way, it is good to use Yue Tuobu as a whetstone to sharpen the siege vertebrae of the Ningxiang Army, and the sharp tip of this siege vertebra is the artillery that took two years to train.

Pablo's dozen cannons were already lined up in front of the battle, the officers were loudly reporting the coordinates and numbers, and the artillerymen were meticulously loading their ammunition as instructed. They don't know how many times they have repeated these actions in their daily training, and they can be said to have acted subconsciously reflexively. Sun Yuan once conducted an experiment in the artillery to make the artillery blindfold to load ammunition, and the result was actually faster than usual. This puzzled him greatly, and after thinking about it, he understood: the long-term and unchanging training allowed the soldiers to know where the medicine bags and shells were piled up, and how to do each step of the procedure. The army is a machine that does not need independent thinking, and everyone is a part of it.

The Jiannu on the opposite side had obviously discovered that the Ningxiang army had begun to charge, and the horns sounded fiercely one after another. Behind the fence, on the lookouts, on the earthen ramparts, there was a mess of screaming and shouting soldiers.

It's a pity that Du Du is attacking the city with the main force of Jiannu in the distance, and there is also a sound of murder. The movement brought about by the Ningxiang Army's attack did not attract the attention of many people.

Until......

"Put!" The sword in Pablo's hand struck a circle in the air before falling.

A dozen cannons visibly took a step back, and in the loud sound of cannons, large puffs of white smoke erupted from the muzzles.

At the same time, there was the eerie scream of cannonballs tearing through the air.

Ten black dots draw a beautiful parabola and fall in the same direction. The sound of the cannon was so sharp that it was as if someone was scraping the surface of the glazed tiles with a knife, causing a sour tooth. All the soldiers, friend or foe, looked up into the air at the same time.

Sun Yuan is no exception.

This time, Pablo used solid stone bullets.

"Solid stone shells, this kind of shells are used to attack enemy fortifications, but they are not very effective against infantry. Against infantry, the best thing is to shoot a shell. Sun Yuan couldn't help but lower his head and said to Shao Wei who was following him.

Shao Wei was escorting the left flank of the cavalry unit with a long spear infantry, and Sun Yuan still valued this brother-in-law very much. After two years of training and several bloody battles, this former ** swinger boy has grown into a qualified general. In the future, if the scale of the Ningxiang Army is expanded, this kid will be able to stand alone.

Therefore, Sun Yuan would instill in him some of the research results of his descendants that he had seen from the Modern Military History Forum at the first opportunity.

As soon as the words fell, the solid shells had already smashed the enemy's fence.

The six-pounder cannon of the Ningxiang Army, each shell is the size of a bowling ball, and the black powder fired after being granulated by Yue Luming has flown such a long distance in the air, how powerful the kinetic energy is.

The fences made of arm-thick wood were as vulnerable as tofu under their bombardment.

I could only hear the crisp sounds of "boom" and "crackle" everywhere. One of the fences was torn to pieces by scorching shells, and sawdust flew in all directions like arrows, shooting the soldiers behind the fence with a scream.

In the era of cold weapon warfare, the so-called fortress warfare, while relying on strong co-operation, the defending side will concentrate the strength of the two forces in the enemy's main attack direction to resist, so as to form a local numerical advantage.

Therefore, after discovering the Ningxiang army, Jiannu put many spearmen and archers behind the fence, and spears and halberds protruded from the cracks in the fence like hedgehogs.

It's a pity that because of this arrangement, the results of this wave of bombardment by the Ningxiang Army are extremely amazing.

Although Jiannu was wearing thick cotton armor, the force of the sawdust was too great. The place where the armor on his body did not contain iron armor leaves was like paper paste, and it was instantly pierced by wooden thorns.

"Ahh There was a shout from the crowd.

The ancients had good eyes, and that was because in ancient times, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and when they went out, they were in the wilderness. Unlike modern society, which is full of high-rise buildings. As far as Sun Yuan's body after the crossing is concerned, in his opinion, his eyesight is at least above 2.0.

Even from such a distance, he could clearly see that the Jiannu archer at the front had at least six or seven wooden thorns stuck in his face, screaming and throwing away the bow in his hand and rolling on the ground in pain.

It can be clearly seen that the wooden thorns stir up a faint red mist in the crowd.

"Good!" When the Ningxiang Army fought, except for the cavalry, the foot soldiers did not make a sound, which can be described as a silent army. However, the officer was an exception, Shao Wei saw a big chunk in his heart, and couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Although this person is a bastard, this artillery is trained by him well!" That's right, that's how the artillery should be. Hehe, I didn't expect the artillery to be so powerful, this is to open up the distance. I can beat you, but you can't reach me, happy, happy! ”

Sun Yuan laughed and said: "Yes, distance, you summed up these two words well." There are four distances in battle. Cannon strongbow distance, musket distance, spear distance, and ......"
