Chapter 134: Ants bite and Kill Elephants

Sun Chuanting has a headache, he really has a headache at the moment, not only him, but also the surrounding civil and military officers and staff officers all have headaches.

The enemy's traces were confirmed, which was supposed to be a good thing, and it was true that he drove all the way in, but it was really confusing that the enemy couldn't see it. Along the way, everyone thought that the other party would set up an ambush where and where, but Mao still couldn't see a single one. came to the territory of Sizhou, and the traces of the enemy finally appeared, but the number of enemies made everyone embarrassed.

This is not counting tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, but a full seven hundred thousand! An army of 700,000 people, completely devoid of any moisture, is no problem to claim five million!

On one side there was an army of 10,000 and on the other there were 700,000 troops. It is not denied that the 700,000-strong army actually has quite a lot of moisture, but this moisture is not the number of people, but their combat effectiveness. Sun Chuanting did not doubt at all that these so-called armies were actually very large and were only afraid of the people who were being coerced.

After all, how did Li Zicheng make his fortune, didn't he coerce the people everywhere to rebel with him, and kill step by step to today's position?

Originally, he occupied Guangxi and Annan Xuanfu Envoys, but didn't he give up directly, and with the coerced population, he directly killed the area of Guangdong and Fujian, so that there is today's Dashun Dynasty? It's just that who would have thought that this guy would play this trick when he became the emperor, so he didn't worry about making people angry?

Well, this is a headache that Li Zicheng needs to have in the future, and the biggest problem at this stage is how to face this 700,000 army.

Bypass it, attack it and save it, drag it until it runs out of ammunition and food? or go around its back and cut off its grain routes...... Damn, there is no situation of a frontal enemy?

"Division commander, if the other party is a team composed of a group of ordinary people, then the combat effectiveness will inevitably be insufficient, and the cohesion will be even lower. As long as we hit three or four rounds of artillery, the other side is afraid that it will be defeated, right? Ma Xianglin thought about it and put forward his own opinion.

According to him, the enemy is composed of a rabble, and if a great blow is received in an instant, then I am afraid that the morale of the army will be immediately discouraged. Even if there is a so-called warlord team behind him, I am afraid that it will collapse for thousands of miles.

"I think so, too, but, do you dare bet?" Sun Chuanting asked lightly.

Ma Xianglin closed his mouth happily, because he didn't dare to bet.

If it is a rabble, then according to his method, it can naturally be crushed for thousands of miles, but what if it is a regular army? When regular soldiers encounter such a situation, not only will they not retreat, but they will rush forward frantically. Because they knew that they had no choice but to be killed afterwards as deserters, or to rush over and try their luck. Artillery will not only not stop their advance, but will increase their speed.

"Damn, if only there were a fire gun that can fire in bursts like the Republic!" Ma Xianglin complained.

Everyone knows that the Republic has a gun that can fire continuously, not only can fire bullets continuously, but the important thing is that it can continuously fire bullets in a short period of time. As long as there are a thousand of these guns, no matter how many people there are on the other side, they will be killed with the artillery!

"We are not soldiers of the Republic, and most importantly, our craftsmen have not yet figured out how to make this repeating firebolt." Sun Chuanting said very calmly.

There was a brief silence in the tent, but it was quickly destroyed by a soldier who hurried in.

"The enemy attacked, the enemy ** army appeared three miles away, and is marching towards us!" The soldier said hurriedly.

"Is there any mistake, it's eight o'clock at night, so they don't need to sleep?" Ma Xianglin shouted in disbelief.

"The other party raised torches all over the place, like a flaming dragon, but he didn't mean to rest at all, and he came directly towards us!" The soldier replied truthfully.

"Quick, get ready for battle now! Set up your artillery, get our guns ready, our enemy is coming! Sun Chuanting was not a fool, he stood up as soon as possible and gave an order steadily.

The whole camp quickly began to operate, and the artillery team had just arrived at the front line, and this time in order to increase the speed of the march only some light artillery was brought in, but even if it was pulled by two horses, it was greatly lagging behind. It's not easy to come to the front line, and the artillerymen are a little tired at the moment.

Who knows, as soon as I came here, I was given an order to immediately look for high ground and prepare for shelling. The artillerymen really want to scold their mothers at the moment, they are working hard to push these cannons forward in the back, and they have to go into battle before they even eat a bite of this hot meal, what is this?

The most important thing is that after a tiring day, the body is exhausted to death, and those who should have rested are immediately going into battle. What does this mean? It means that for these artillery, which can only rely on experience to ensure the accuracy of firing, it is destined to play abnormally.

But even so, they had to obey orders, one was that they were soldiers, and it was their nature to obey orders; Second, when they were whining and pushing the artillery to the high ground, they also realized why they were in such a hurry, the enemy was in front of him!

They hurriedly set up their positions and adjusted their muzzles, but they were so tired that they always made small mistakes that they shouldn't normally. The artillerymen at the moment, they are more like a group of recruits who have just come into contact with artillery.

But the soldiers around them won't laugh at them for anything, because they're tired too!

Even if they arrived here a little faster than the artillery unit today, but the new army for a day is also a real fight, and it is useful to rest for three or four hours? But the enemy is at hand, and they can't fight? They are even constantly whining, complaining that the enemy will not be tired?

The enemy really does not get tired, which, of course, is impossible.

In the Dashun army at this moment, many people are actually too tired to walk. They relied entirely on walking all the way, and they were working overtime, and when they came to the vicinity of the main battlefield, they were already tired. Originally, Liu Zongmin had already given a big order to let them rest in place. But he didn't think that it was only thirty minutes before he received the news that he had found a trace of the enemy, and the scout also said that the enemy should have just arrived here.

Therefore, Liu Zongmin realized that this was the best time to fight hard. Anyway, they are all used as cannon fodder, and when the enemy is tired, they have a better chance of surviving. In fact, this truth does not need Liu Zongmin to say, they also know it.

Just dragging this tired body and fighting hard with others, if you can, I really don't want to.

But they don't have this choice, they want their families to be safe, they want to seal their wives and cute children, and they want to worship each other, so they have to give up their lives! Fortunately, Liu Zongmin at least did not treat human life as a mustard, and in the hands of a group of cannon fodder soldiers at the front, there was at least a layer of shield carts temporarily built with a large number of grass and trees and quilts. It's naturally impossible for this thing to be used to defend against knives or artillery, but if it is against a firebolt, it can still have some protection.

To put it simply, if you don't have it, you will be shot within 50 meters at most. With this thing, it can be advanced up to twenty meters. In this way, the remaining twenty meters of distance depends on the character. But no matter what, you can live an extra thirty meters, so don't complain too much.

The enemy, just ahead, saw the lights of the camp!

It's going to be desperate...... It's scary...... But...... We didn't have a choice......

"Kill!" I don't know who shouted, and everyone rushed out.

Legs...... As if it had been poured with lead...... I'm so tired...... Cerebrum...... But there has never been a calmer ......

"Boom!" The artillery exploded in the Dashun army, and I don't know how many people died because of it.

"Kill!" This roar seemed to be a giant beast of the wilderness.

Fight the enemy...... Either the enemy dies or I die...... There is no way back...... The only way to kill the enemy!

"Shoot!" Sun Chuanting shouted, he already felt that the situation was very bad.

The "bang bang ......" bullets were fired like fried beans, but they hit the shield car, but the shield car was so simple, and there were many bullets on the enemy.

Many soldiers burst into a blood flower with their blood, and then they screamed and fell to the ground.

But his death, not only did not make people fearful, but stimulated their nerves and made them burst out with extraordinary combat effectiveness.

I don't want to die...... So...... I'm sorry......

"Kill!" At the last fifty meters, the shield carts had lost their ability to protect themselves, but it didn't matter, they also had firearms in their hands.

It's a pity that they can't change the ammunition and start another shot, what they can do is to shoot once, take the equipped sharp knife, and pounce on the enemy.

But even so, the continuous bullets fired out were too much for the Ming army to look up.

"Kill!" Finally, the soldiers of the Dashun Dynasty rushed into the enemy's position.

"Damn, it's all a bunch of crazy people!" Seeing that the soldiers were constantly being killed, Sun Chuanting began to subconsciously take a step back.

"General, let's retreat quickly, otherwise we won't be able to leave!" The surrounding pro-soldiers persuaded him.

Sun Chuanting looked at the artillery position, they were still shooting, but he was afraid that under their fire, more and more enemies would die under the artillery fire. But it could not be avoided the fact that the enemy had already rushed into their positions. The enemy has 700,000, and even if 300,000 are killed, the remaining 400,000 can still swallow them.

Yes, it is because the other party realizes this that he adopts such a tactic, or rather, this is not a tactic at all, it is purely filled with life!

Da Shun! Li Zicheng! You are the reincarnation of the Demon King! You are a son of man in vain!!

So many compatriots, but under the coercion of Li Zicheng, embarked on the road of death, not only did they want to die, but they also dragged them to die together. However, as the commander of this Ming army, he has nothing to do at the moment.

This is the crushing of absolute power, even if it is piled up with life, it is still crushing...... As many sages said: "Battle, victory, victory; War, even if you win fifty times and lose in the end, it will be all over. ”

Yes, even if you kill the opponent's 500,000 army, and your own 10,000 army is crushed by others, it is a failure, and there is no way to refute it.

"Retreat ......" Seeing that the enemy was only less than thirty meters away from him, Sun Chuanting could only give the order to retreat.

The Ming army, defeated...... The Dashun army followed and pursued directly to Tianming.

Of the 10,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty, only a few hundred people were alive, scattered and fled, and they didn't know if they could return to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Ma Xianglin was captured in the process of the palace, and was later killed by the Dashun army...... Sun Chuanting was captured and not killed for the time being, but he was thrown into death row.

In this battle, the 700,000 people of the Dashun army died 150,000 people, and 150,000 lives were lost...... However, their footsteps did not stop here, and they continued to go north!

Within half a month, Huai'an Mansion returned to Dashun's territory, and then, continuing north, entered Yanzhou Mansion in Shandong under the control of Daming.

Fifty thousand cannon fodder were consumed along the way to the Surabaya area. Finally, because Daming transferred Lu Xiangsheng back in time, he was able to defend the country. At the same time, because there was another thing in the rear, I had to stop there.

Daming and Dashun fought, but they stole chickens and lost rice, and lost several counties. It's just that who would have expected that Dashun would be so frustrated?

200,000 living lives were lost on the battlefield...... Not to mention Zhang Hongbin, even Chongzhen felt extremely painful......

However, what he can do at this moment is to find a way to redeem Sun Chuanting.
