The sky was getting dark, Wang Jiayin stood on a small dirt slope, looking at the direction of Shenmu County in front of him with a solemn expression, surrounded by Wang Er's and other victorious generals.

The army arrived here in the evening, more than ten miles away from Sun Chuanting's camp, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, the soldiers were tired and hungry, so he had to order to set up camp and rest.

This official army is indeed a little different from the tofu scum official army encountered in the past, the speed of the march is extremely fast, and there is a strange feeling everywhere, which makes him feel strongly uneasy, but he can't guess what tricks the other party is playing, so he has to send a large number of scouts and scouts to closely monitor the movements of Sun Chengzong's main force in the direction of Sun Chuanting's headquarters and Xi'an.

Sun Chengzong's main force did follow behind Sun Chuanting's partial division, but the speed of the march was slower than that of a snail, and it was grinding and grinding, and it took two full days to get out of the territory of Xi'an, this is the official army that Wang Jiayin and other people's troops are familiar with and like, they didn't pay much attention to it, they just struggled with whether to eat Sun Chuanting's partial division or Sun Chengzong's main force first.

However, although Sun Ziting's partial division committed the taboo of being a reckless and lone soldier, the number of soldiers is also small, only more than 3,000, but the combat power is quite good, at least much stronger than the ordinary tofu scum official army, and there is a disturbing weirdness everywhere.

Sun Chengzong's main force has more than 10,000 people, and the official army that behaves like an ordinary tofu scum should be easy to fight in theory, but the speed of this girl's march is so slow that it makes people vomit blood, according to the speed of their march, it is estimated that it will take three or four days to reach here, and the daylily is already cold.

Wang Jiayin couldn't make up his mind, so he had to convene the generals to discuss, and the generals led by Wang Er tended to eat Sun Chuanting's department, the reason was that the number was small, and the lone army was deep, Sun Chengzong's main force marched at a fast pace, according to the time estimate, just ate Sun Chuanting's partial division, after the decision, the generals dispersed, rested in peace, and launched an attack on Sun Ziting's camp at dawn.

As for using the cover of the night to launch a night raid, don't be funny, the poor people of the victorious army are all poor people, they can't even afford to drink gruel and have to put up a flag against the light, one by one is seriously malnourished, severe night blindness, marching in the dark, nine times out of ten can lose themselves.

Sun Chuanting's handsome tent was lit up, he didn't sleep, just lay on the simple marching bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, but in his mind he was thinking back to what the governor Sun Chengzong said to him when he first arrived in Xi'an City, and he was stunned at that time.

Sun Chuanting knew his own situation, although he was reused by the Son of Heaven and remixed his career, but his qualifications were not enough to lead an army alone, but the Son of Heaven actually trusted him, and for this reason, he also talked to Sun Chengzong, the governor and commander, and personally recommended it, and even a little shameless, until Sun Chengzong agreed to let him lead an army alone.

Sun Chuanting didn't know why the Son of Heaven valued himself so much? While being flattered, my heart is more about the grace of the death of the person who knows it, even if he dies on the battlefield, he can't live up to the high hopes that the Son of Heaven has placed on him.

On this night, the two sides were at peace, after the sky was bright, the Changsheng army buried the pot to cook, after eating enough, the whole army marched, two hours later arrived at the back of Sun Chuanting's camp, and after a short rest, launched a tentative attack.

The officers and soldiers who were waiting for the battle did not go out of the camp to meet the battle, but only held the camp, greeting them with Franc cannons from afar, and responding with muskets and bows and arrows from afar, and the victorious army retreated after leaving more than 100 corpses.

The musketeers of the two armies once fired at each other, but the firepower of the Changsheng army was obviously weaker than that of the officers and soldiers, and the accuracy was extremely poor, and basically did not cause any damage to the officers and soldiers.

Although Zhu Jian ordered to only produce Lu Mi guns and Fu Lang machine guns, a small number of three-eyed guns, and strictly pay attention to quality, but that was only for the arsenal of the Beijing Division.

Due to the urgency of time, Sun Chuanting's partial division only had time to equip more than 300 Lumi guns, and in less than half a day, there were more than 20 bombs, killing and wounding more than 20 musketeers, so frightened that the other musketeers did not dare to shoot, and made him so angry that he screamed violently, and he wanted to chop all the blacksmith supervisors of the Xi'an Arsenal into pulp.

He first appeased the musketeers, personally inspected all the musketeers, but all the barrel thickness was slightly thinner, all of them were suspended and returned to the warehouse, this check frightened everyone, half of the musketeers were unqualified, there was a risk of exploding, and the musketeers who were still shooting with guns just now were even more frightened to the point that their faces were pale and bloodless, and they were glad that they did not explode.

Sun Chuanting, who was extremely angry, almost ran away, and immediately wrote this matter into a letter and reported it to his top boss Sun Chengzong, he didn't understand the world, not that he didn't know how to be flexible, but he was a civil official, and as soon as the civil official's stunned strength came up, even if he cut off his head, he would report it, and if Sun Chengzong didn't deal with it, he would report it to the Son of Heaven.

In fact, he is also well thought out, the Son of Heaven treats a certain person like a countryman, this grace of knowing the situation, he should swear to repay it, do his best, do his duty, and help the Son of Heaven govern the Ming Dynasty.

In recent years, there are still many literati with style and integrity, and Sun Chuanting is one of them.

After the failure of the tentative attack, the victorious army finally launched its first real onslaught, and this time, they learned to be obedient, either using thick planks as shields, or tying wet cotton sheets soaked in water to the carts, and pushing forward, while the soldiers hid behind the planks and carts, and the advance was slow but good, except for a few unfortunate soldiers who showed half of their bodies and ate their guns as they observed.

The power of the musket is indeed small, it is difficult to penetrate the thick planks, at most the planks are made small holes, and it is useless to the soaked quilt, and the bow and arrow projectile is also blocked by the wooden shield of the plank, which has no effect, but wastes arrows.

"The spearmen and archers stand back, the shieldmen and spearmen step forward, and the bombardiers prepare."

Sun Chuanting, who was in command on the front line, held a monocular to observe the enemy's situation, calmly gave an order, and more than a dozen personal soldiers held shields in front of him, shielding him from stray arrows and stray bullets, and carefully protecting him tightly in the middle of the shield array.

Although this protective measure is a bit exaggerated, but then again, in these years, not to mention the commanders of the three armed forces, even the average middle and high-ranking officers rarely come to the front line in person, Sun Chuanting's actions not only won the respect and support of the officers and men of the whole army, but also greatly boosted morale.

In addition to the commander's command and scheduling, weapons and equipment, and other factors, the most important thing is morale, the two armies meet the warrior to win, this is the truth, but also the iron law of the famous saying, most people know the importance of morale, Sun Chuanting is proficient in the art of war, more aware of this truth, and the commander is on the front line, more clearly understand and grasp the development and changes of the battle situation, and then make corresponding deployments as soon as possible.

The soldiers of the victorious army were pushing the wooden wheels or thick planks tied with water-soaked quilts, and they were pleasantly surprised to find that the guns of the officers and soldiers had stopped, and the arrows were sparse, and they even saw the shield soldiers and spearmen arranged behind the barracks, and the musketeers had retreated to the back, and they were all secretly happy, as long as they rushed close to the barn, they could rush into the camp with all their might, and start a white-knuckle battle with the officers and soldiers.

When advancing to a distance of more than 10 meters from the camp, a pile of black smoke suddenly flew out of the camp of the officers and soldiers, drawing a smoke-like arc in mid-air, and the ping-pong fell to the muddy ground, some fell to the wooden cart with a pile of soaked quilts, some rolled down to the bottom of the car, some smashed onto the thick wooden plank, and the bullet fell on the muddy ground, and some unlucky soldiers were smashed into the door or body, and the blood burst out, and they fell down on the spot.

All the soldiers looked curiously at the black stuff emitting wisps of green smoke, what kind of thing is this?
