Boom cannon rang out, and a moment later, the foot of Hibiscus Mountain was splashed with dirt and dust.

The west gate of Shaozhou City is crowded with people, all of whom are either rich or noble, and in the "VIP area" with a wide view at the front, there is even a tea party. Furong Mountain is three or four miles away in the southwest, and the officers and soldiers came from the northwest, with their backs to Wushui, and they wanted to attack south. On this city gate tower, the battle between the two armies can be seen clearly.

"At least five or six thousand pounds of cannons."

"Man Pi estimated that he invited the generals of Jingzhou and Wuchang down."

"Where's Li Shi's cannon? I haven't seen ...... yet."

"I can't hit it, I didn't see such a big cannon."

Different from other officials and businessmen who purely watched the excitement, the "Guangdong Green Battalion Officials and Watching the Battle Group" composed of Li Shibang, the general of the battalion after the Guangdong Governor's Bid, and Qu Wansheng, the general of the Central Battalion, were all experts in guarding the door, and these people who had suffered a big loss at the hands of Li Shi were naturally happy to see Li Shi defeated, but in terms of their experience, this seemed to be a bit wishful thinking.

"Then Li Xi is going to finish."

Wang Hua, the general of the battalion of the Guangzhou Military Standard, pouted and said, everyone cast a surprised look, it has just started, where does this conclusion come from?

"Furong Mountain is a lonely mountain, if I am that Li Shi, if I don't have time to attack Shaozhou City, I should also put the big queue on the left side of the mountain, and the small half of the soldiers on the mountain to protect the high place. Now Li Shi's arrangement is not the same as the Ma Tan Lost Street Pavilion back then. ”

Wang Hua shook his head and smacked his lips, quite regretful.

When everyone heard this, they all felt the same way, so didn't Li Xi even read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? But if you think about it like this, you feel uncomfortable, just such a vertical man who doesn't know the art of war at all, but he beat them so that they lose their armor and have no power to parry, and they are really so unbearable?

"It's a pity ......"

He Mengfeng, a guerrilla in the rear battalion of the Guangzhou Military Standard, also followed Wang Hua, touched the wound on his leg that was already healed, and sighed slightly in his heart, Li Shi was going to be extinguished, and Yingci Yuan was afraid that it would be difficult to protect it, Aunt Pan...... Bai Daolong is also a member of the Green Camp Observation Group, he sat at the back, watching the dust and smoke rising from Furong Mountain, scratching his nose leisurely, his heart was not shocked, he had already figured it out, no matter which side wins, he is ready to go home to retire. Zhou Ning stood beside him, his gaze still twisted as if he was discounting back and forth.

The guns of the officers and men rumbled incessantly, and after fighting for a while, they became even more noisy, as if there were more than 10 more guns all of a sudden. It's just that the sound of this cannon is very different from the previous ones, and the general's cannon of the officers and soldiers is like the sound of a hammer hitting hardwood, and the echo is hoarse and short. But this cannon sound is like a big drum, fluffy and powerful, and the aftermath is lingering, and the eardrums are sensible.

"That's not right! It's Li Shi's cannon! ”

Everyone was surprised, Qu Wansheng pointed to the north, and saw that on the Huanggang Mountain, white smoke was rising.

"He actually used Huanggang Mountain as a fort!"

At this time, everyone came to their senses, and their faces suddenly became solemn.

Looking at the officers and men again, nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers were assembling in the open area on the south bank of Wushui, and under the bombardment of the artillery of Huanggang Mountain in the northeast, they suddenly splashed and scratched in the sea of people, and the dust mixed with flesh and blood bloomed.

"I'm afraid that Gao Qiwei is starting to regret it, but I didn't expect Huanggang Mountain to be a fort."

Seeing that the faces of several generals sank, He Mengfeng sneered in his heart.

Gao Qiwei regretted it a little, twisting his beard, his eyes flickering.

"Gao Junmen, are you transferring some people to assist Huanggangshan?"

Wu Hongyi, the general of the Jiangxi Battalion Promotion, said.

"Wu Shenrong has seen deeply, and he also feels that it is best to attack Huanggang Mountain first."

Yue Zhongqi opened his mouth to agree, his Fu Biao had just arrived and had not been sent to the battlefield.

Gao Qiwei's brows furrowed tightly, even if you are a general in other provinces, you are a small guerrilla in this province, and you dare to question my decision?

The mountain of Furong Mountain is gentle, and the mountain is enough to set up a large army, Huanggang Mountain is not only separated by a river, the mountain is also steep, and there is no place under the mountain. After conquering Furong Mountain, Huanggang Mountain is a Jedi, and I don't understand such a simple truth?

Besides, how could the strategy he had worked so hard to set be changed by a burst of bombardment from Huanggang Mountain?

Gao Qiwei strengthened his determination, and the cannon that originally bombarded Furong Mountain turned around and went to bombard Huanggang Mountain, and at the same time transferred Jiangxi to raise the standard to attack Huanggang Mountain, and the 2,000 people brought by Yue Zhongqi were thrown behind the battlefield, saying that it was "to prevent the enemy of Huanggang Mountain from escaping".

Yue Zhongqi gritted his teeth hatefully and led his subordinates to the north to sit on his cold bench.

"Rush up! It's full of mountains and valleys, and Li Shi's fast spearmen can't be used, as long as they rush up, let's fight one out of ten, how can we defeat them! ”

Liu Dengwei, a staff general of the Hunan Bid Battalion, shouted to a group of guerrilla garrisons in front of him, and the crowd was surging, and the Guangdong Green Battalion Observation Group, which was far away on the upper floor of Shaozhou City, looked at the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who covered it, and the lonely Furong Mountain seemed to be about to be flooded, and his heart was also full of enthusiasm. For many years, it is rare to see the scenes of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers fighting.

"The waves are thousands of waves rushing to the sky, the withered people are full of faces, and the heavenly soldiers are like pirates and Jiaojiao, and they are punished ...... ......"

Tens of thousands of people are surging, the scene is overwhelming, Chen Xun, the prefect of Shaozhou, saw this magnificent Wang Shi, and immediately became excited, shaking his head and composing poems, Bai Daolong glanced at him, and picked his nose expressionlessly, but the corners of Zhou Ning's mouth were slightly twitched.

"War, first of all, is a technology, there is nothing poetic ......"

Seeing the Qing soldiers approaching, the forward was only two or three hundred steps away from the first-line position at the foot of the mountain, and on the mountainside, Li Xi muttered to himself. The war machine has been turned around, he, as the commander, should be arranged, and now the situation depends more on his subordinates to grasp the front line, and he holds the reserve team and becomes the captain of the firefight.

The sound of the canopy guns rang out, this was not a row of guns, but the stragglers in front of the position were blocking the opponent's first arrival, and several groups of people with a scale of 100 people were suddenly stagnant.

It was only a moment, and despite being knocked down, the other pioneers still rushed forward without fear, even if they could not rush in front of the enemy formation, they would disrupt the opponent's skirmishers.

The stragglers who blocked them retreated after firing two or three shots, not only the first climbers were excited, but the brigades that surged up behind also gathered some confidence, the morale of the other party was so low, and now the battle is said to be victorious.

After "repelling" the stragglers, these pioneers tried to rush forward again, and within a hundred paces, the platoon of guns rang out, and looking down from mid-air, a twisted white line was pulled open under the Hibiscus Mountain, showing a clear outline of the side of the mountain.

Gao Qiwei had already come to a place two or three miles away from Furong Mountain at this time, and when he saw the winding line of gunpowder rising up, his brows furrowed even tighter, but he heard the old gunshot, this gunfire is not ordinary with his own shotgun, it seems to be particularly thick and low, it seems that Li Xian is relying on it, I am afraid that it is not just a self-fired musket.

Ascending a high hill, he raised his binoculars from a high position, and through the smoke of gunpowder, the opponent's defense line at the foot of the mountain suddenly came into view. There was only a low wall made of trees, mud, and even stones, which was not more than chest-high, and it seemed that Li Shi was really in a hurry to fight, and he didn't even have time to dig a trench.

But then he took another breath, and saw in his binoculars the first to come, lying here and there between a hundred and sixty or seventy paces in front of the line, and none of them could rush within fifty paces.

"This fast gun is really sharp......

Gao Qiwei snorted coldly, he was going to die first, and this loss was naturally not painful. The fast gun is indeed sharp, and Galdan's fast gun was like this back then, Tong Guogang commanded the artillery team to bombard the camel city two or three hundred steps away, but was still shot and killed. But in the end, he was still defeated by the artillery attack, and at that time he commanded the small artillery to attack, and made great achievements, and he was no stranger to this fast gun.

This wave of 10,000 troops had approached a mile position, and the horse-drawn people dragged them, and dozens of hundred-pound and thousand-pound cannons separated the crowd and began to set up in front of the formation. Gao Qi's heart said, there is still no ...... here The sound of cannons drifted down from Furong Mountain, and Gao Qiwei's heart trembled, and the telescope almost fell off.

On the mountainside, the cannon smoke rose, the cannon smashed in front of the formation, and suddenly swept out more than a dozen bloody roads, a carriage was blown up by the cannon, the cart was shattered into wooden blocks, and the horses pulling the cart were thrown into the air, shaking their hooves and neighing, smashing heavily in the crowd, and the voices and horses were mixed together, competing for the miserable high point.

The crowd stepped back, exposing the artillery in front of the formation. These soldiers, who had been gunners for generations, cursed loudly, but they did not dare to run backwards, and stiffened their heads, so they pressed their strength on the cannons, as if as long as their cannons could explode, the cannons on the other side would no longer bring them the fear of death.

Boom...... When the ...... The cannon on the mountain is not only powerful, the rate of fire is also very fast, the cannon of the Qing soldiers has just been erected, the second round of shelling is coming again, this time the head is even more to the point where the gunner's scalp is numb, a jack cannon was directly hit by the cannon, the huge cannon body jumped up, swept in all directions, and smoked more than a dozen people around the bones and flesh, and finally wiped the head of an unlucky guy and passed, and saw that the guy's head suddenly deflated, and followed the cannon to the ground.

Pressed by great fear, the artillery of the Qing soldiers hurriedly took position, and they began to speak, blowing up the low wall in front of them into mud and rocks, but before they had time to check the results of the battle, the third round of shelling on the mountain came, and at least several more cannons were dumb.

"Herald, attack!"

Gao Qi's position felt that something was wrong, the opponent's guns were extremely sharp, and after three rounds of artillery in a row, his morale was declining, and he couldn't continue to bombard them, so he hurriedly issued an order to charge. The defensive line ahead was divided by mountains and depressions, and could not be connected as a whole. Although their own attacks are also divided, but this kind of terrain, the more fragmented the more beneficial it is for oneself, ten thousand weak soldiers may not be able to defeat a thousand strong soldiers, but ten weak soldiers can always beat one strong soldier.

"This is a very experienced person......

Seeing two or three thousand Qing soldiers coming in several ways, Li Xian was slightly surprised, it really took a certain amount of vision and courage to stop competing with himself so decisively, this name, he didn't have an impression, so he vaguely remembered a Gao Qizhuo.

It's no wonder that Li Xian is not clear, he is not an expert in Qing history, this high position is a battle-hardened general, the battle of the three feudatories and the conquest of Galdan have made great contributions, Kangxi was transferred to the governor of Jiangnan in the last years, acting governor of Liangjiang, and was promoted to a university scholar and a scholar in the Ministry of Rites during the Yongzheng period, and the Gao Qizhuo that Li Xi remembered was his cousin.

"It doesn't matter who he is, just from the point of view of attacking Furong Mountain first, it's still an old routine."

Li Shi didn't pay much attention to it, Furong Mountain seemed to be gentle, but it could still be arranged into a position where the firepower crossed layer by layer. Although Huanggang Mountain is steeper, the terrain is more complex and the firepower is more fragmented. After changing the officers of the firearms era, what they thought was to pull out Huanggang Mountain first, no matter how resourceful and fearless they were, their thinking was still that of an ancient soldier.
