The next day, at noon, after lunch, a group of soldiers of the Xiang Army, under the leadership of officers at all levels, slowly entered the ambush circle of the Xianbei people, preparing to have a head-to-head duel with the Xianbei cavalry again and defeat the Xianbei people on the opposite side in one fell swoop.

Before this duel, the Jin army had already defeated the Qiang, Di, and Xiongnu in a head-to-head battle, and now it was the turn of the Xianbei people, and only one of the Qiang people had not yet had a chance to fight with the Jin army.

After Tao Kan led the Jin army into the field of vision of the Xianbei people, he stopped less than a kilometer away from Xiangping City. In this place, the artillery of the Jin army could directly deter the defenders inside the city, so that they did not dare to support the Xianbei people outside the city at will.

The Jin army then used steel four-wheeled carriages to transport supplies to assemble a circular defensive position, in which the artillery was centered, the periphery was three musketeers, and there were also light and heavy cavalry and some heavy artillery as reserves. With everything in order, only the east wind is owed, Tao Kan looked at the Xianbei cavalry who were slowly pressing over, and a fanatical light shot out of his eyes.

"Da Dan Yu, it seems that Tao Kan is prepared!" Looking at the Jin army's well-guarded formation, Changshi Qiyanlou was worried.

"Well, Tao Kan is a famous general in the world, he must have two brushes, otherwise he would not be able to sweep Huainan and the Samhan Peninsula. He has nothing to worry about if he can arrange a defensive formation so quickly, in a field situation, it still depends on the power of the cavalry. If you look at the flat land in front of the Jin army, you will know that the Jin army did not have time to dig trenches and trap horses. Murong Diao replied confidently.

Maybe the Xianbei people didn't know, but they didn't reject the horse. There were no trenches, just a few foxholes dug in some sections, and a defensive position composed of horse-drawn carriages, although it seemed simple, but with the support of strong artillery fire, it would definitely form a strong defensive line, and it would also allow the Xianbei people to hit their heads and break their blood when attacking.

"Da Danyu, the time for a decisive battle has come, and the scouts have carefully explored the radius of five hundred miles, except for Tao Kan's twenty-one thousand. There is no longer a Jin army. This is the time for us to take down the Tao Kan Department in one fell swoop! A Xianbei general walked up. reported to Murong Diao, who was observing the formation of the Jin army.

"In that case, let's give it a go!" Murong Diao looked at the Jin army who was waiting for him, and finally made up his mind.

Looking at Murong Diao's resolute face, Qiyanlou suddenly understood Murong Diao's mood at this time. If it is still impossible to defeat the Jin army under the condition of having superior forces. Then the Murong tribe no longer has the capital to confront the Jin army. At that time, the Xianbei people could only let the Jin army knead it. Thinking of this, the Seven Difficulties Building was a little depressed.

"Tell everyone to prepare for the attack! This single Yu wants to see if the Jin army is really as powerful as the outside world promotes! This battle will let my Murong cavalry try the strength of the Jin army. Start attacking! Murong Diao ordered.

"Yes!" The generals did not hesitate and immediately returned to their phalanx. Soon 3,000 cavalry quickly rushed out of the main formation and attacked the Jin army. Their role is to test the strength of the Jin army first. Murong Diao, Qiyanlou, Duan Wenyang and many Xianbei generals all watched with their eyes wide open, wanting to see if the Jin army was really that terrifying!

"Childish! These Hu people really don't have a long memory, and they actually want to attack the defensive position of my elite van army with this point, they are simply looking for death! In the military camp of the Great Jin, seeing that only three thousand Xianbei cavalry had launched an attack on the Jin army, a chief pouted.

"Humph! Why, when they know how good we are, these bunches will know how to change their strategy! A veteran in his thirties next to him snorted.

In the formation of the Jin army, Tao Kan and the two of them were also paying close attention to the changes of the enemy and us through binoculars, so that they could make adjustments in time. This battle was not only important to Murong Xianbei, but also to the Great Jin. Once defeated, the Great Jin Dynasty will not talk about recovering Youzhou and Pingzhou, and I am afraid that Liaodong, which has just been occupied, may also be lost.

"Humph! Temptation? Command all departments: All artillery is not allowed to open fire without the order of the general, let a thousand dragoons go to thwart the enemy's sharpness first, and the musketeers are responsible for cleaning up the lone Xianbei people! Tao Kan issued combat orders in an orderly manner, and after the soldiers around him quickly recorded them, they were then issued to officers at all levels through order flags and heralds.

A thousand dragoons rode their horses from the first small steps to the final full sprint, and it only took less than a stick of incense to rush to the Xianbei cavalry, and the two sides did not talk to each other and prepared to shoot each other. Suddenly, bullets, bows and arrows flew everywhere on the entire battlefield, sabers danced wildly, and people in the middle kept falling from their horses, and the screams resounded throughout the battlefield.

After a round, the three thousand Xianbei cavalry were left with less than two thousand people, and the Great Jin dragoons also lost nearly a hundred, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides reached ten to one. This made both sides dissatisfied, with the Xianbei people believing that the ratio was too high, while the Jin army also thought that the ratio was too low.

After the temptation, the Xianbei army slowly moved, looking at the Xianbei cavalry that was getting faster and faster, Tao Kan understood that the big war was coming! The Jin army and the Xianbei people were only a few kilometers apart, and it didn't take long for the sprinting war horses to take it, that is, dozens of breaths.

"Fire!" When the Xianbei people rushed into less than a kilometer away from the Jin army's defensive line, the artillery group deployed in the center of the position opened fire, although there were only 260 light infantry guns, but after a lethal flowering bullet fell into the Xianbei cavalry, the fragments and iron nails from the explosion suddenly swept towards the Xianbei soldiers around. The Xianbei people who were rushing quickly were either killed on the spot, or their mounts were blown up, and then they fell off their horses and were crushed into meat by the war horses behind.

Soon after the artillery fired, the Xianbei people rushed to less than a mile in the blink of an eye, and at this time, the musketeers, who had been waiting for a long time, began to fire their guns. The distance of one mile is so close in the eyes of the Xianbei people, it seems that it only takes one sprint to reach the Jin army.

However, under the intensive firepower of the Jin army, the Xianbei people had to pay the price of blood for every step forward. When the Xianbei people rushed to only half a mile away from the Jin army's position, the Xianbei people also began to give full play to their cavalry and archery advantages. 'Whoosh' was like a rainstorm of arrows slashing at the head and covering the face of the Jin army.

At this time, the steel carriage prepared by the Jin army became a copper wall, but it blocked some arrows, but there were still many soldiers who were constantly shot or seriously injured by the Xianbei people. The Jin army suffered casualties, and the Xianbei people were also uncomfortable, and the cavalry in charge of the charge died quickly under the blow of the superior firepower of the Jin army, and lost thousands of people in just one cup of tea.

After seeing this situation, Murong Diao and Qiyanlou, who were watching the formation in the rear, turned pale. Before the war, Murong Diao had already estimated the Jin army very highly, but he still didn't expect the Jin army to be so powerful! After paying the loss of nearly 3,000 people, the Xianbei people have not even attacked the position of the Jin army, according to the current situation, even if they fill in another 10,000 people, they may not be able to touch the face of the Jin army.

"Da Dan Yu, the strength of the Jin army is even more powerful than we imagined. Now it seems that a frontal assault is not possible, so let's give full play to our strengths and besiege it all-out! In this way, we can give full play to our superiority in troops. Seven Difficulties House suggested.

"Hmmm! Order the troops to launch a full-scale offensive! Murong Diao nodded.

After half a pillar of incense, the Xianbei people attacked again, and 60,000 Xianbei people surrounded the 20,000 Jin army regiments and launched a fierce attack on the Jin army from all directions. At the same time, the defenders in the city also sent 10,000 people out to help, so that the number of Xianbei people participating in the head-to-head duel reached 70,000.

"It seems that Murong Diao is going to fight hard! However, if the Xianbei people want to defeat us just like this, it will be too much to underestimate the soldiers of our Xiang Army! Tell the brethren not to keep their hands any longer, and give Ben a hard beating of these Hu people! In the future, we will let Hu Ren mention us, and we will be heartbroken! Tao Kan said solemnly.

"Kill! Come on! "Tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry formed a black wave, surging towards the Jin defense line one after another. The shouting and killing sound of the entire position was like an overwhelming sea, and the momentum was also amazing.

"Order all units to get ready and fire at full capacity! Order the artillery positions in the rear, ready to fire! Tao Kan calmly gave the order. However, only he knew that his palms were already full of sweat.

"Boom! Rumble! The artillery positions in the formation opened fire first, and one by one the shells roared into the charging formation of the Xianbei people, and shrapnel shot everywhere, taking away the lives of the Xianbei people around. However, there were a large number of Xianbei soldiers, and they were not afraid of death, the front one fell, and someone soon filled it, and the entire Xianbei phalanx was relying on human life to approach the Jin army position step by step.

"Shoot, shoot fast, shoot free!" As soon as the Xianbei people entered the firing range, the grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers immediately issued orders. In an instant, more than 10,000 muskets fired one after another, and the bullets rained down on the Xianbei people, and it was easy to shoot the Xianbei people who were charging in front. The musketeers formed a continuous firepower to restrain the Xianbei attack.

"Charge! Charge fast! Hurry up and break through! Murong Diao couldn't keep calm anymore, and he kept shouting at his subordinates. This time, Duan Wenyang didn't watch the play on the sidelines, he could be regarded as out of the way, and the 20,000 Duan cavalry completely ignored the losses and impacted the Jin army's defense line. It's just that the firepower of the Jin army is too strong, so that the attacks of the Xianbei people are always frustrated, and most of the Xianbei soldiers fall on the way to attack.

Tao Kan looked at the Xianbei people who were constantly falling, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, since he saw the power of the musket, he realized that from now on, the advantage of the grassland people over the Han people in the class of troops no longer existed!
