The news of Yueyang's fall reached Wu Sangui's ears, and Wu Sangui calmed down instead.

He couldn't cross the Yangtze River for a while, and he couldn't send more troops to make a detour to support Hunan in the south, so he had to send orders for the garrisons in Yunnan and Guizhou to hold on. Abandon some small towns that are not important, and concentrate forces on key communication points.

He organized his troops, carefully arranged, and prepared for the final decisive battle with Geng Jingzhong, as long as this battle was won, all the problems he had encountered before would be solved.

After waiting for half a month, the final battle finally began.

After at least three months of preparation on both sides, the Mawei Army mobilized 130,000 troops to form several heavy groups. From the beginning of the official entry into the territory of Henan, the army was divided into five offensive directions from south to north, and marched in unison. The middle route was the direction of the Mawei Army's key attack, and in this army, it was not only equipped with the largest number of artillery, but also equipped with a cavalry group with a strong breakthrough ability. All the cavalry of the Mawei Army are surrounding Geng Jingzhong at this moment.

Similarly, the Wu army also formed more armies and deployed dense and layered defense lines in Henan. In order to win this battle, Wu Sangui successively gathered 320,000 troops, and the two sides added up to a big battle with a total of 450,000 troops. Even in the history books, there are no records of several such battles.

On the Mawei side, the strength is 130,000. On the Wu side, the number of troops reached 320,000. Front, from central Henan. It stretches all the way to the south. The two sides officially engaged in battle in the area of Runing.

"It's spectacular!" A number of young horsetail army staff officers. I couldn't help but mumble to myself.

They were all seeing such a big scene for the first time, and they were really a little excited in their hearts. The duel of more than 100,000 people has never been seen in the history of the Mawei Army. Even when the Mawei Army attacked the Wa Kingdom, the total strength was less than 100,000. Later, he fought against the Qing army and the Wu army many times, and did not invest so many troops. As the great enemy of the Mawei Army, the Wu army, in the previous battles, only twice against Yue Le with more than 100,000 people, the real battle between the two sides was all put into the battlefield. Nor have more than 100,000 people been dispatched.

As the saying goes, there are tens of thousands of people, and there is no shore. 10,000 troops, which is already quite a lot. Not to mention a hundred thousand troops. The general phalanx, that is, one or two thousand people. If there were fewer people, it would have been five or six hundred. The phalanx on the side of the Mawei Army is a force of almost 1,000 people, 10,000 people, which is ten large phalanxes. An army of 100,000 people is a hundred such large phalanxes.

In fact, this time the Mawei army did not put on a strict phalanx. Just a line of skirmishers. As a result, the length of the skirmishers. It's even more borderless. The reason why it is a skirmish line of 100,000 people is because there are 13,000 artillery in it, and another 7,000 are professional cavalry.

In this decisive battle, although there are cavalry in the army, the real decision of victory or defeat depends on the artillery in front of them.

Mawei prepared a lot for this battle, and arranged two hundred field guns before and after, that is, the general's cannon, and more than three hundred ordinary cannons, most of which were ordinary general's cannons, and more of them were big guys who ran without conscience. These equipment and weapons are all laid out, and the momentum is even more spectacular.

This cannon is also horned oh

In particular, those modified general cannons, which can move quickly with the battle line, are the most powerful weapons of the Mawei Army at present. The caliber of these general cannons is thicker than a person's waist. At a distance of 100 meters, the tactics of dealing with the crowd of Wu army are simply too effective. A bag of twenty or thirty pounds of explosives went down, and within a radius of twenty meters, there would definitely be no living people.

In order to end the battle as much as possible, Geng Jingzhong made the greatest determination, basically, now the strength of the Mawei Army has been fully invested in this big battle, and both sides of the war have no chance to profiteers. In the Central Plains, there was no fierce fighting, and the five major corps of the Mawei Army Army could fully meet the operational needs.

All the cavalry of the Horsetail Army have been transferred, and they are all the elite of the cavalry of the Horsetail Army. The tactics of the Mawei Army are simple and practical, that is, to feint on both flanks, break through head-on, completely cut the battle line of the Wu army from the middle, and then encircle and annihilate it. In the face of layers of Wu positions, artillery and cavalry, of course, were the main forces of the assault. However, before the cavalry could be put into service, the infantry had to open a gap.

"How's it going?"

Geng Jingzhong came to the front line of the attack.

Preparing for the task of a frontal breakthrough were the two most combat-ready artillery battalions of the Mawei Army. All are old men from the former artillery division. Although these battalions on the front line were the same age as the other phalanxes, their merits were not accessible. There are more than ordinary battalions.

"All set!"

"Look at us!"

The artillery battalion position uploaded a response full of letters.

"Good!"

Geng Jingzhong nodded with satisfaction.

Surrounded by a group of high-ranking officers, Geng Jingzhong came to the front line and shook hands with the soldiers who were ready to participate in the attack. The soldiers who served as the vanguard were the earliest units formed by the Mawei Army, and there were many veterans and backbones exported. The veterans of the year are now gone. Geng Jingzhong saw that many of them had only been in the army for a year or so before they were sent here as recruits by the law.

Perhaps it is because the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the ignorant are fearless, these new soldiers who joined the army do not pay attention to the Wu army at all. In their opinion, since the seniors can defeat them all, they will not be pleased. Wu Jun is still heavy up and down, but on the ground outside!

"Next, it's up to your sisters!"

Geng Jingzhong encouraged every soldier loudly.

Subsequently, Geng Jingzhong went to the artillery position behind him and inspected the preparations for firing the field artillery. A total of more than 600 field guns were concentrated in the center. The central front, all the artillery, is already in full array. As long as the time for the attack is up, a large number of shells will be fired with hundreds of general cannons. The time to pour into the upper part of the Wu army's position to attack. Soon it was coming. The entire front. All of a sudden, it was very quiet. It was so quiet that only the sound of human breathing could be heard. Faintly, you can still hear the sound of a long fart. This is part of the nervous new fighter, overwhelmed by the heavy atmosphere and the endocrine dysfunction. Such a situation is not unusual for recruits at all.

"Fire!"

Geng Jingzhong personally commanded and waved his hand decisively.

But the commander-in-chief is not him, as the commander-in-chief of the battle, Lee Guangdi for such a scene. seems to be more skilled than Geng Jingzhong. After all, he commanded the Jiangxi Mawei Army to clear the remnants of the Qing army many times, and fought with the Wu army.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

The artillery commander's command was very short, and pennants kept falling.

"Knock Knock"

"Knock Knock"

"Knock Knock"

The fierce cannon fire continued to sound, and instantly occupied the entire battlefield.

One of the cannonballs, after being thrown out, kept bouncing on the ground, taking away lives one by one. The center and central positions of the Wu army's frontline were soon enveloped by a rain of bullets. After the general's artillery fire, he began to shoot at close range without conscience. One by one, heavy explosive bags were thrown onto the positions of the Wu army.

"Boom".

"Boom",

"Boom",

The deafening sound of explosions continued.

Standing on the front line, it felt as if the whole earth was boiling. Everyone felt as if there was a constant earthquake under their feet. The soil on the ground, constantly rolling, fully shows how exaggerated the power of the general's cannon is.

"Up!" ，

Li Guangdi waved his hand decisively.

The soldiers of the Mawei Army immediately swarmed up.

"Rush forward!"

Li Guangdi pointed in one direction and commanded loudly.

At the sound of an order, the soldiers of the Mawei Army rushed forward without hesitation. The sound of gunfire continued, and within a radius of ten miles, it was suddenly plunged into a war. The casualties suffered by the field artillery and general artillery of the Mawei Army bombarding the front line of the Wu Army were quite heavy, and the position was at risk of being broken through at any time.

The commander of the Wu army in the back hurriedly transferred a large number of reserves and tried to plug the gap.

The firepower of the Mawei army was indeed fierce, which made the Wu army change when they heard it. But the Wu army also has a huge advantage, that is, an almost endless reserve force. Under Wu Sangui's command, some are troops. After the Wu army on the front line suffered a lot of losses, the Wu army behind could still block the gap to death.

As long as the time for the attack is up, the time for the attack, when hundreds of general cannons will pour a large number of shells on the top of the Wu army's position, will soon come. The whole front line suddenly became very quiet. It was so quiet that only the sound of human breathing could be heard. Faintly, you can still hear the sound of a long fart. This is part of the nervous new fighter, overwhelmed by the heavy atmosphere and the endocrine dysfunction. Such a situation is not unusual for recruits at all.
