The Wu army was knocked down by muskets from a distance, and when they got closer, the warrior grenades in the front of the Mawei army beckoned to him.

"Boom"

There was a loud sound of the sky cracking and the earth cracking, and Xu Shangyuan just subconsciously felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly drew his command knife and stared around with indifferent eyes. At first, he thought there was an earthquake. He could clearly be grateful, as if something was trembling under his feet.

Then, Xu Shangyuan's gaze slowly searched the direction where the loud noise came from. As a result, he was stunned, and in front of the Wu army's attacking troops, a large amount of black smoke came out. Wu Jun in the black smoke seemed to have all disappeared. And on the periphery covered by black smoke, there were Wu soldiers on their backs. Some of them, feeling as if they were completely stunned, stood there stupidly, motionless, until they were killed by a flying stray bullet and fell. Some of the terrified Wu soldiers immediately turned around and ran backwards after getting up from the ground. The officers behind them couldn't figure out what was going on in front of them, but they didn't stop them.

"Good!"

"Well played!"

Liu Yinglan clenched his fists and shouted excitedly. There was no doubt that the loud noise just now was the sound of hundreds of grenades exploding. In order to deal with the Wu army's sea offensive, the Mawei Army was also prepared. Once Wu Jun approached to a distance of sixty or seventy meters, the grenade was thrown out without hesitation.

Sure enough, those Wu troops who rushed up without fear of death encountered a powerful grenade and were immediately blown up. The individual explosions of these grenades are not very powerful. But hundreds of them add up to a lot of power. It can well be imagined. Basically, in a small area in front of the battle. There are no living people. In an area like this. All living beings are subject to the blow of destruction. After the shock wave of the explosion, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.

"Damn it!"

"Bastard!" Wu Jun's side, Xu Shangyuan couldn't help but shout and scold.

The reason why he scolded was that the weapons of the Ponytail Army were too powerful. These weapons of the Mawei Army are really too fatal. No matter how brave his subordinates were, after rushing forward, there was only one dead word. As long as these weapons of the Mawei Army have not been consumed. There was no way for him to get close to each other.

However, will these weapons of the Mawei Army be consumed? Xu Shangyuan just expressed a high degree of skepticism. He was very worried that if the battle continued like this, the horsetail army's powerful weapons had not been consumed, and his troops would be completely wiped out. A lot of thoughts went through his mind, searching for dry intestines, trying to find a way to crack these weapons, and as a result. Nothing. He had no idea what this weapon of mass murder was.

However, if Xu Shangyuan was to stop the attack like this. He was not reconciled. After Liu Yanming's previous defeat, there was still a strong sense of revenge within the Wu army in Guangxi, and everyone wanted to teach the Mawei Army a hard lesson and the arrogant commander of the Mawei Army. If anyone defeats the Mawei Army and defeats Liu Yinglan, he will definitely be reused when he turns around.

In addition, substantial benefits are also within reach, Wu Shicong cannot stay in Guangxi forever, in the future, when Wu Shicong is gone, he will guard the general, and the general army in Guangxi is at least. He thinks that he should be able to be the governor of Guangxi, and he has the final say in this Guangxi province! Is Xu Shangyuan's position of admiral? Of course! He dreamed of getting the position. Now, the opportunity was in front of him. As long as he defeats Liu Yinglan and defeats the Mawei Army, he is very likely to become the emperor of Guangxi after Kong Youde. In the face of such a hot opportunity, how could Xu Shangyuan be willing to give up?

"Hit!"

"Hit hard!"

Xu Shangyuan gritted his teeth and shouted at everyone around him. Under his fierce shout, more Wu Jun rushed forward like ants.

"What an idiot!"

Liu Yinglan also saw Wu Jun's crazy moves, and this Xu Shangyuan was simply crazy. He simply ignored the big killing weapon thrown by the Ponytail soldiers on his side! Knowing that the weapons of the Mawei Army are so powerful, but he still keeps sending the troops forward, is he committing suicide? You must know that since he went out of the city to ambush, all the elites he brought were the best, and the equipment was the best! But at this moment, all the soldiers of the Mawei Army were killed in waves.

"What an idiot!"

The Wu army and the Mawei army also fought for the first time, so why did they still not learn their lessons. The age of firearms has come, and cold weapons are almost out of the army.

Xu Shangyuan is also a wind demon now, and he is still urging the Wu army to continue attacking at this moment, but the firepower of the Mawei Army soldiers has also increased accordingly, and a large number of bullets have all been poured on Xu Shangyuan's subordinates. The artillery battalion in front, as well as the grenades in the back, were all shrouded over the heads of this unit.

The entire battlefield is like a ferocious meat grinder, as long as the Wu army is involved, there is no possibility of escape. The ground was densely packed with corpses, and there was not even a place to find a place to stay. In the rear of the Wu army, as their supreme commander, he was brandishing his command knife with a hideous face, ordering them to move forward. In front of Xu Shangyuan's order, the Wu army behind had no choice but to rush up and send him to death.

"These Wu Jun are really crazy." The terrain was narrow, and the Wu army behind could not see the situation in front clearly, and they went forward one after another, and they did not stop, but they were quickly killed as soon as they rushed up.

In the rear of the Mawei Army, Liu Yinglu stood from the perspective of the Mawei Army, and the scene of the Wu Army's impact was indeed too profound. They are like moths that pounce on a fire. Groups threw themselves into the fire, and groups fell under the flames of the raging fire. However, the moths behind still had no intention of retreating at all, and continued to pounce on the fire. Almost every blink of an eye, it is estimated that several Wu troops were killed under the guns of the Mawei army. Such casualties are simply terrifying.

How long can these 5,000 Wu troops last? No one can say.

"Brigade Commander Zhang, how long do you guess the Wu army can hold on?" Liu Yinglan asked Brigadier Zhang Youde beside him.

"Half an hour."

Zhang Youde said uncertainly.

"Two quarters of an hour."

Liu Yinglan gave his opinion.

"Half an hour?" Zhang Youde suspiciously raised the clairing mirror and looked at the battlefield carefully.

"That's right, Wu Jun supports two quarters of an hour at most. Such casualties. Even if it were twice as many of them. I can't afford it. Liu Yinglan said confidently.

Sure enough, two quarters of an hour later. The front-line troops of the Wu army finally collapsed on the whole front. They were beaten to collapse by the ferocious firepower of the Mawei Army. Not only did the average soldier collapse, but even many officers collapsed. With such a brutal weapon and such heavy casualties, no matter how fierce an army can afford.

"Withdraw!"

Xu Shangyuan gritted his teeth and popped out two words.

The casualties of the troops were too heavy, and he couldn't do it if he didn't want to withdraw his troops. Keep fighting, his five thousand troops. It's going to be all gone. At this time, he felt the horror of failure.

The power of the Mawei Army's guns is so huge, and there is also the help of the mysterious big killing weapon, which makes Xu Shangyuan feel a very headache. Could it be that the Wu army really has no way to deal with these horsetail troops who came ashore?

The Mawei army did not chase after it, because there was no need at all. When these Wu troops go back, they will bring panic to the Wu army in the city, which is what Liu Yinglan wants. Night gradually fell, and the valley was fiercely fought for an afternoon. Calm down completely. Faintly, it seems that the crow can be heard. But. In this season, there should be no crows. I'm afraid it's a human delusion. Perhaps, it was because there were too many people who were killed, and the souls were entangled with each other, and as a result, there was the cry of a crow.

The daytime fighting was over for the time being, but the commanders of the armies on both sides had no chance to calm down. For the Wu army, it is necessary to count the troops and arrange stronger defenses around the city. The dream of ambushing the Mawei Army has failed. They then had to rely on the fortifications of the original city. At the same time, Wu Shicong once again urgently sent people to Kunming for help, hoping that more troops would come for reinforcements.

The Mawei Army, on the other hand, summed up lessons and lessons to prepare for tomorrow's battle. The battle during the day, although it consumed a lot of the strength of the Wu army. However, due to the large number of Wu's troops, after a large number of people were killed and wounded, there were still a large number of them. In the second half of the night, some of the numbers were roughly counted. The number of Mawei soldiers killed in the battle was about 200, and the number of wounded was about 300. The soldiers who unfortunately died were mainly killed by the bows and arrows of the Wu army. Tomorrow's attack will not only be bows and arrows, but also a lot of Wu artillery. Therefore, Liu Yinglan demanded that the troops must be mentally prepared sufficiently.

There is no way to count the number of dead and wounded in the Wu army for the time being, there are too many in the valley. The Mawei Army did not have this time, nor did it have this possibility. Zhang Youde sent people out for a walk and came back to report that there were corpses everywhere, estimated at least 3,000 people.

"More than three thousand"

Liu Yinglan pondered the number.

This figure is obviously inaccurate. Zhang Zhun estimated that the number of casualties of the Wu army should be more than 4,000 people, and the number of Wu troops who escaped was very few. However, even though the Wu army suffered 5,000 casualties, there were still more than 10,000 troops in the city

"That's the effect of your ambush?" Wu Shicong got the news and quickly came to the barracks, Xu Shangyuan brought out 5,000 people, but less than 2,000 came back, and most of them were injured.

The other generals were all silent, the shock given to them by the Mawei Army was too great, only Liu Yanming on the side sneered: "Lao Tzu asked to hold on and wait for help, but if you don't listen, it's okay, the loss of troops will be lost, and the troops in the city will be even more insufficient." Marshal, these remnants of the defeated army should not be sent to the city for the time being, so as not to bring panic to everyone. ”

"What does General Liu think should we do next?" Wu Shicong didn't care about Liu Yanming's cynicism, and the top priority was how to hold the city.

"Demolish the houses, tear them down along the side of the city wall, and send all the bricks, stones, and timber to the head of the city, so that the head of the wall will be heightened. The defenders and civilians in the city must be in a hurry, and when the Mawei army arrives, these bricks and stones can be thrown to kill and injure the enemy. The muskets of the Mawei army are extremely sharp, and the general shields are useless, so hurry up and make some thick wooden shields to block the city wall, so that the firearms of the Mawei army will have a good protective effect. ”

"By the way, all generals had better inlay a heart guard on their chests and backs, it is best to be thicker, and if you don't understand, go down and look at the wounded soldiers to understand how powerful the muskets of the horsetail army are. Also, the iron helmet is also on, that's all I can say, it's up to you whether you listen or not! ”

"What's the matter, didn't you hear General Liu's words? Don't hurry up and get ready! Order the people near the city to move inward, and the house will be rebuilt for them in the future! (To be continued......)
