Wang Yunyi was not put back, and was tied to a freshly sawn tree and placed at the entrance of the barracks. This kind of merciless slap in the face has already shown the attitude of the elite army, indicating that the negotiations have broken down, and everyone is left to fight.

After that, Li Yongji's first regiment arranged its troops in a step-by-step arrangement to make various war preparations, and the so-called formation preparation was nothing more than the fact that all units, under the command of officers at all levels, lined up to come to the predetermined attack site and waited for the final moment of attack.

Since Li Yongji's number was not large, and he had always followed the principle of concentrating firepower, he did not do such a thing as besieging the city, so they adopted the strategy of concentrating all their forces and attacking them head-on.

As for the specific formation, it is a simple V-shaped flying formation, that is, the artillery battalions are all concentrated in the middle, and behind the artillery battalion is Li Yongji's Chinese army headquarters, so that the artillery can give full play to the firepower advantage of the artillery and increase the accuracy.

In front of the artillery and on both sides, all are infantry, the infantry takes the company as the basic unit, all of them form a large horizontal formation of three rows in the front and rear, three companies on one side, that is, the left and right sides of the artillery are placed on the infantry of one battalion, and the other battalion is in the rear as a reserve.

On the outermost flanks of the infantry, that is, on the flanks, a platoon of cavalry was placed, and the last cavalry platoon was placed behind the artillery, and their role was to reconnoiter and pursue, not to attack the main force.

It can be seen from this that the formation of the elite army is still in accordance with the old-fashioned method of lining up and shooting the formation, which is very particular about the queue, and the arrangement between the infantry is very close, not a skirmish tactic.

The reason for this is because Li Yongji considers that these soldiers are new recruits after all, and they are not easy to panic when they gather together, and they are also more able to give full play to their firepower advantage. Anyway, judging from the current situation, the other side lacks firearms, and even if they do, at most they are some guns and earthen cannons, and the firing distance is too short to reach them at all.

Therefore, it is clear that you can only fight the other party by yourself, but the opponent cannot hit yourself, so you can't use skirmisher tactics. And he is the besieging side, this time mainly depends on the power of the artillery, and the infantry is more to defend the opponent from jumping over the wall to charge, or to carry out the final sweeping attack. As for the cavalry, it was really just a reconnaissance and the final pursuit of the router.

The Jingwu army's attack preparations are so blatant, it is clear that they don't take the Wang family's mansion in their eyes, but they are indeed qualified to be arrogant, not to mention anything else, just that one cannon is enough for the Wang family's people to be cold, plus there are a large number of people, and there are foreign guns, even cavalry, they don't dare to take the initiative to attack, they can only rely on the high walls of the Wang family's mansion, pinning their hopes on fighting a battle to defend the city, relying on the way of defending the city, to delay and wait for change.

The Wang family's mansion is said to be a house, but it is actually a small city, if it is to defend the city, I am afraid that five or six thousand soldiers in the era of cold weapons will not be able to take it lightly, but it is a pity that the times have changed, this is the world of firearms.

Soon, half an hour passed, and the preparations for the attack of the elite army were all completed, and then, with the order to attack, the artillery in the center began to strike first.

Because it was a siege, solid bullets were used, and the gunpowder was a new gray gunpowder based on potassium perchlorate, and the smokeless gunpowder was not used.

Although it is gray gunpowder, it is also a modern improvement of Zhang Xinda's firecracker factory, which is 0.5 times more powerful than ordinary black gunpowder, plus the weight of 12 pounds, that is, 5.44 kilograms of solid shells themselves, it is not a matter at all to directly attack the earthen walls and gates of the Wang family's mansion at close range (relative to artillery).

The eighteen cannons only fired three times, and the gate of the Wang family's mansion had been broken by solid shells, and the city wall next to it was also damaged.

In view of this, the Wang family was also ruthless, taking advantage of the opportunity to reload the ammunition after the artillery of the Jingwu Army was finished a round, and with a sigh, many family guards armed with knives, guns and sticks rushed out of the open gate of the east gate with a roar, and they wanted to play melee combat with the Jingwu Army.

"Stupid!" Li Yongji, who was riding a horse in the rear and quietly observing this qiē with high-powered binoculars, just shook his head, "I don't want to run away in this situation, but I dare to rush my military formation?" Is the musket in my infantryman's hand a burning stick? ”

"They probably can't help it." The person who spoke next to him was Zhang Wei, who was also holding a telescope to observe, "After all, they don't have cavalry, and in such weather, they know that they can't run even if they run away, so it's better to fight, maybe there will be a turnaround." And even if they fail to charge in the end, they have fought at least once, at least to show their bravery, and have an explanation for everyone, maybe we will treat them well because of this. ”

"Well, sell your bravery to get kindness? It's really strange logic. Li Yongji put down the binoculars and shook his head with a smile.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Yongji said this, the infantry at the front had already begun to fire a platoon-level salvo under the order of the officer, using a two-stage strike in which the front row was half-kneeling and the back row was standing. This shows that the Wang soldiers who rushed into battle had already come to within 200 meters in front of them, and only within this range were they allowed to open fire on the platoon guns.

The effective range of the Sharps rifle is far more than 200 meters, but 200 meters is the most accurate range, and in this range, the Sharps rifle can still have a very good accuracy rate.

As for the two-stage shooting method, it is because compared to the three-stage shot, the two-stage shot is simpler, and it can also give full play to the advantage of the rate of fire of the Sharps rear-loading gun.

With a series of loud popping shots, the Wang soldiers who rushed into battle fell down one by one like cutting leeks, and before they could reach 150 meters, more than 100 people who rushed out had already fallen more than half, and there were only less than 30 people who could stand!

Separated by nearly two hundred meters, the infantry of the Jingwu Army defeated more than 70 people in just one salvo, and this was only the salvo firepower of the two companies at the front, with a total of 180 people. After all, in order to maintain the continuity of firepower, the firing order of different companies is different.

In short, it was just this salvo, and before the others could fire, all the Wang soldiers who came to charge the formation collapsed and ran back at a faster speed than the charge, and in the process of running back, the other companies fired again in order, and as a result, all the people who ran back stayed, and none of them ran back.

In other words, this wave of charges of more than 100 soldiers of the Wang family was wiped out in just a few minutes, and not a single one was left!

In addition to the fact that Li Yongji's side had more people firing and more advanced weapons, it was also related to the shooting skills of these soldiers.

You must know that in the course of training in the past two months, Li Yongji fed these soldiers with a large amount of live ammunition every day, and they may have been a little immature psychologically before, but in terms of shooting ability, relying on the advanced weapons in their hands, they are no longer inferior to the armies of any major power in this era, and may even be the troops with the highest shooting accuracy.

After all, until now, no country's army has begun to install Sharps rifles on a large scale, and Sharps rifles are the most accurate rifles in the world at this time, not to mention imitations made with modern technology.

Since this charge ended like this, the people of the Wang family were already frightened, and they no longer had the courage to charge hand-to-hand combat, so they could only shrink back to defense, so next, the elite army could bully people with artillery again.

However, this time, after only one round of artillery, a white flag was raised over the opponent's city, indicating that the opponent had surrendered.

Seeing the white flag raised, the artillerymen instinctively stopped firing, and the other troops did not move, apparently waiting for further instructions from Li Yongji.

"Congratulations, sir, for winning the first battle!" Zhang Wei smiled on the side, "This is a great victory, our army did not suffer any casualties, and it won the victory in less than two moments, and the famous generals of the ancient times are nothing more than that." ”

"Forget about the famous general, I still have self-knowledge, you are a bit of a sycophant." Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Li Yongji just pouted, "However, what kind of Wang Jiabing who was blown up by others is too spineless, right, surrendered so soon?" That's just about a hundred people dead, right? ”

"This, I think they are really out of line, after all, in the face of troops like ours, they can't fight no matter what, what can they do if they don't surrender? In fact, they were willing to come out to charge before, which has already shown their bravery, and if they were replaced by others, they would have surrendered long ago when they saw our troops. Zhang Wei continued to laugh on the side, "Since they have surrendered, what should we do next?" ”

"Shock, what do you think?" Li Yongji looked at each other with a smile, and felt in his heart that he was particularly emotional when he said this.

"Since you asked, I think we should accept it." Zhang Wei thought for a while and said, "Since we are seeking justice this time, we will ask for full blame for doing things, and we must always be comprehensive." The other side has surrendered, and if we continue to fight at this time, we will inevitably be called a brutal army, and there is no need for that. After all, as long as the people of the Wang family are in our hands, we can do whatever we want in the future, whether we want to die or live or die, there are ways to deal with them, and it is more conducive to our aftermath, what do you think? ”

"It's a disappointment." Li Yongji shook his head, "Okay, just accept their surrender as you say!" But ......"

In the end, Li Yongji turned his head to look at Zhang Wei: "I don't want anyone to gossip about our elite army everywhere in the future!" This conquest must be bright, just, and stand the test of history. This is not just a battle of revenge, but also a prepared battle against bandits...... I mean, you know? ”

"Understood, Mr. Chief." Zhang Wei clenched his fists, and then smiled weirdly, "Don't worry, these people are traitors who have fornicated with bandits, and they will rebel soon, we got the exact news by accident, in order to prevent greater chaos and cause an uncontrollable situation, we came over in time to exterminate this group of traitors in advance, and my lord is a meritorious man." ”

"Will anyone believe it?" Li Yongji narrowed his eyes, "If it's a rebellion, if it's caught, it will be escorted to the government, what if the people of the Wang family retract their confessions at that time?" ”

"It doesn't matter, the road was robbed on the way we escorted, and the prisoners were all shot dead while fleeing." Zhang Wei smiled again, "Therefore, there are only the corpses of the prisoners, the transcripts and the drawings, and there are no confessions." ”

"Transcripts and drawings?" Li Yongji blinked, "Those people in the Wang family are willing to recognize it?" ”

"You can rest assured." Zhang Wei said again, "Have you forgotten what we used to do?" As long as you hand over these people to Zhou Da, you can make sure that nothing goes wrong, and you can make any kind of transcript you want. I forgot to tell you that when he used to be a jailer, his favorite thing was to play lynching! ”
