The large-scale artillery battle between the enemy and us finally began, and after a cup of tea, the artillery of the Xiang Army in the Yanmen Pass finally opened fire after being ready.

"Boom!" A shell landed on the artillery position of the Huns, and immediately several Huns who were operating an artillery piece were blown away.

Immediately after that, several shells fell, smashing on the artillery positions of the Huns, blowing up a total of three artillery pieces and killing nearly 100 Huns.

"Suppress! Suppress the artillery fire of the Jin army! Liu Qin saw that his firepower was a little weak, and immediately ordered loudly. Suddenly, the Huns began to desperately turn the muzzle of the cannon and launch a frantic suppression of the artillery positions of the Jin army.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The artillery of both sides, you came and went, and launched a fierce artillery battle, but in the end, due to the difference in power and number of the Huns' artillery, the Jin army gradually gained the upper hand.

"Damn! I didn't expect the Jin army to deploy so many artillery pieces in Yanmen Pass. Looking at the messy artillery position, Liu Qin's face turned pale. Only now did he know that the firepower of the Hu and Han sides was not a level at all. According to the current momentum, the Huns are really at a loss.

"Order: All departments immediately launch an attack on Yanmen!" After Liu Qin thought carefully, he immediately issued the order for a general attack, since the Huns could not gain the upper hand in terms of firepower, then they could only give full play to the advantage of troops.

"Boom! Rumble! As the Huns launched a frantic attack, the entire Jin defense line immediately fell into a bitter battle. Due to the pinning down of the enemy's artillery, the Xiang army was temporarily unable to receive support from artillery. The pressure on the army is much greater.

"Attack! Offensive! "A large number of Huns, ignoring the death of their comrades, under the leadership of officers at all levels, launched an attack on Yanmen Pass like crazy. In order to prevent the enemy from breaking through, in the narrow front, the Xiang army launched a bloody battle with the other party. For a moment, the whole line of defense looked a little shaky.

"My lord, do you need to send reinforcements?" The army asked worriedly as he looked at the somewhat shaky front.

"No, you don't! Master Ben believes in the soldiers below! Zhang replied expressionlessly, he didn't have many troops in his hands, and the Huns could lose tens of thousands of people for Yanmen Pass, but he couldn't do this.

"Hmm. So be it. Tell the artillerymen to hurry up, and when they are done, let them quickly reinforce the troops under the pass. Zhang Fang thought about it and commanded.

After a cup of tea, the Jin army concentrated all the artillery in Yanmen Pass and launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the Huns under Shihe Pass. Suddenly. Dozens of artillery pieces fired together. It was an absolutely shocking scene.

The Huns did not know what trenches and bunkers to dig. Therefore, as soon as the shelling began, the Huns on the opposite side were killed and wounded. The shelling lasted about a cup of tea, and the Huns were so blown up that they did not dare to raise their heads. Some of the other tribesmen and strong men who were forcibly recruited were bombed by the cannons, and even fled frantically backwards regardless of the restraints. Naturally, these deserters would not have a good result, and they were arrested by Liu Qin one by one and beheaded off.

The heavy shelling interrupted the attack of the Huns in an instant, but what they did not expect happened, it turned out that the Xiang army actually launched a counterattack in this situation.

The infantry of the 9,000-chamber army first launched a counterattack, like a sharp knife inserted into the soft underbelly of the Huns, and at this time, the artillery fire behind began to cover the assaulting Jin army.

After the baptism of the battlefield, this kind of infantry and artillery coordination tactics has been very skillfully applied to the battlefield by the Jin army, although sometimes it is inevitable to accidentally injure friendly troops, but this tactic is huge, making it difficult for front-line commanders to give up.

"Tell the rear artillery that there is an enemy command post one kilometer ahead, and the coordinates are ......" On the way forward of the Jin army, from time to time, a few strange soldiers of the Xiang Army reported the situation on the front line to the Xiang Army behind. Due to the backwardness of the means of communication, the Xiang army could only rely on flags and binoculars to transmit information on the battlefield, and it was precisely by relying on this means that the Xiang army realized the initial coordinated operation of infantry and artillery.

As soon as the reconnaissance information was transmitted to the rear through the flag, it was not a moment before the sound of a cannonball piercing the air was heard, and then it fell to the ground with a loud bang.

"The rear asks, did it hit the target?" A soldier looking out to the rear with a telescope asked the observer next to him that he had seen through the telescope the flags of the artillery positions in the rear convey the message.

"Deviation from the target, please correct Zhu Yuan, left ......" The observer, seeing that the command of the Huns was not harmed, immediately asked the standard-bearers on the side to convey the revised shelling parameters to the rear.

On the artillery position, after receiving the information sent back from the front, they immediately corrected Zhuyuan, and soon the shelling continued.

Immediately after that, I saw several shells flying through the sky one after another, accurately smashing on the location of the headquarters of the Huns, and after a few loud noises, the Huns in the big tent were soon killed in the artillery fire.

"Rush, rush, rush."

After the shelling, the Xiang troops on the position, under the command of non-commissioned officers and officers at all levels, jumped out of their positions and launched a counterattack against the Huns. Since the artillery of the Huns was knocked out by the Jin army, they were then blown up by the fierce artillery fire of the Jin army.

The Jin army was well-armed and well-trained, bombarded by artillery fire in front, and the infantry slowly advanced in the rear, and soon broke through several lines of defense set up by the Huns.

Tearing apart the defensive line of the Huns, the box army that rushed through the defense line began to go around the rear of the defense line on the left and right sides of the Huns, in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the Huns.

In this way, with the support of artillery, all the Sanxiang Jin troops rushed to the battlefield to fight, and the Huns, who had been torn apart from the defense line, had fallen into a state of no command.

Although Liu Qin was in command from behind, his army was already in chaos by this time, and since most of the front-line generals were killed in the artillery fire of the Jin army, his command could not be conveyed to the front line at all.

The result of an army's defensive line being torn apart is terrifying, and if the gap cannot be plugged in time, then it can only retreat to the second line of defense. If you don't retreat...... Once surrounded, the supplies are cut off, and it is very easy to destroy.

Although Liu Qin was not a famous general, he was also a veteran of a hundred battles, how could he not know the danger involved, so he hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat to the last line of defense. However, the front line was already extremely chaotic at this time, and even the soldiers could not find the generals, and the soldiers would not be found.

Zhang Fang, the chief general of the Jin army, didn't expect a counterattack to break up the Huns, if he didn't know to take advantage of the situation to attack, he Zhang Fang would not be worthy of being called a famous general in Hejian!

The Jin army, which reacted quickly, quickly rushed up along the road opened up by the troops in front, and quickly surrounded the Huns who had no time to retreat, and the box army that served as an assault in front of them killed from behind these Huns, beating these Huns to the point that they didn't know where to run, and some even knelt on the ground and surrendered and begged for mercy.

Many Huns obediently laid down their arms and stood aside, waiting for the Jin army to accept them, and in this raid the Huns lost at least half of their troops, and only some of the Huns withdrew to the last line of defense.

Breaking through to the enemy's last line of defense, the Jin army temporarily halted the offensive and began to clear the remaining enemy forces. Throughout the battlefield, many Huns were killed by shells, and some were killed by bullets, but most of them were captured by the Jin army.

"My lord, the combat effectiveness of these Huns is getting weaker and weaker. If they had been before, they wouldn't have been so vulnerable! Joining the army looked at the messy battlefield and sighed.

"Of course, if you think about it, the Huns have lost at least nearly 200,000 troops since the start of the war, and there are still many elite soldiers among them. Coupled with the enemy's fear of our muskets, the Huns simply could not have a psychological advantage when engaging us! Zhang Fang sneered.

The sound of the battle gradually subsided, the Jin army did not continue to organize the attack, this counterattack The Jin army was taken by surprise, and there were no casualties themselves, so it was the best policy to accept it when it was good. If you continue to attack the enemy army, there will definitely be some chaos.

"The army of 50,000 was beaten to only 30,000." Looking at the statistics after the war, Liu Qin's face was pale, and his hands trembled a little, and the lightning raid of the Jin army gave him a head start, which made him still a little dizzy. If it weren't for the Huns, who were fast on horseback, I'm afraid that there would be fewer people who escaped.

Not only was Liu Qin stunned as he looked at the battle damage, but even Zhang Fang himself didn't expect that his subordinates would have such a high level of combat quality. Within the Jin Army, the leading generals were not responsible for selecting and training troops, but were uniformly trained and planned by the War Department, and then transferred to various places according to requirements.

This battle completely defeated the Huns' attempt to covet Yanmen Pass, and in desperation, Liu Qin had no choice but to ask Liu Yuan to agree to his callback. After receiving the battle report from Yanmen, Liu Yuan was silent for a long time, and finally agreed that Liu Qin would return to Taiyuan County with the rest of the troops. By this time, the Huns finally realized that the final great war was coming.

The Jin army has surrounded from all directions, and the Huns have cowered in Taiyuan County. This huge pressure made every Hun person breathless, and Liu Yuan was no longer full of energy, and the whole person suddenly seemed to be ten years old, and the spirit of the whole person was gone.

It's very good to be in Liu Yuan's position and still be able to hold on as hard as him, watching the Jin army attack Jinyang step by step, but he can't do anything about it, this feeling is really uncomfortable!

Under the circumstance that the overall situation of the annexation of the state has been decided, there is a bloody storm outside the Seychelles. It turned out that when Shile moved to Mobei with hundreds of thousands of people, he was warmly welcomed by Dadan Yu Tuoba Pugen. Today's Tuoba Pugen is no longer the right sage king of the past, but a big leader who has unified the two Xianbei tribes in Mobei, with millions of clans under his command and 300,000 people controlling the strings, and his strength is extremely strong!
