The scene changed, and Mo Rigen watched the cavalry come out with anticipation, and the two elite cavalry thousand-man teams formed a standard shock team queue. Although the armies of the two Huai have not fought for a long time, and most of the military affairs are erosive, as the supreme commander of the Huaixi Road, there is always a force on hand that says the past. The two thousand-man teams brought out by Mo Rigen can be said to be the most powerful force in the entire Huaixi Road. Morrigan never defaulted on the salaries of these two troops, and he did not have any moisture in their drills. Mo Rigen also relied on them to sit firmly in his current official position, so that he would not be hollowed out by other forces. At the beginning of this crackdown on bandits, Mo Rigen's original intention was to take this descendant unit to make military merits and fight the grass valley. But after a brief cavalry battle, Mozhigen knew that the bandits on the other side were not ordinary. For a long time, Mo Rigen pinned all his hopes on this elite soldier, hoping that they could resist the first wave of damage from the opposing firearms and rush in to crush the enemy's formation. In Mozhigen's impression, firearms can only fight one wave on the battlefield. Even if the firearms on the opposite side could be connected, the distance of forty meters was only a matter of a moment when the cavalry charged (he was estimating the infantry firearms from the previous cavalry battles).

The cavalry began to charge, and Morrigan's heart lifted and he watched intently. After a few seconds, he saw a burst of yellow-red light coming out of the front of the enemy formation that he had not paid attention to, and the front row of the cavalry who were charging ten meters in formation and had not yet spread out seemed to be pushed by a sudden gust of strong wind. Then a second or two came a loud thunderous bang. I saw that the pace of the cavalry charge was completely interrupted.

"Artillery, how can it be artillery, how did they move artillery to the field" Mozhigen cried out distractedly, in his mind, it was difficult for bulky artillery to maneuver with the troops.

Before anyone could answer him, there was a burst of artillery from the bandits, and ten black dots flew out of it, smashing into the chaotic cavalry, causing even more chaos. Morrigan will quickly turn to the position where the Central Army of the Compreacian Army is located. I had a bad feeling in my heart. Sure enough, ten seconds later, a series of loud noises and bright lights appeared in the central formation of the Compree Army, and rows of black dots smashed into the cavalry preparing to restore order like eyes, and the entire cavalry unit became lively like boiling water, and with the black dots smashing in, it seemed that some limb-like objects could be seen flying over the cavalry. When Mozhigen saw this, his eyes began to darken. But he held on to something, supported by others. Stand up. The next thing was to see the rout of the cavalry.

The drama ensued, and as the cavalry broke up, the opposing infantry phalanx began to move, because it was a pursuit. The musket infantry on the eastern flank was not an oblique formation, but an orthodox rectangular formation. 2ooo people are neat and tidy, with the same pace and consistent movements, neatly pushing forward, forming an inexplicable beauty. Because the pace is the same, the footsteps brought out are also the same, and can be heard even from hundreds of meters apart. 2ooo's feet collide with the earth neatly, like a mountain peak.

After seeing the appearance of the Compree Army, Morrigan and his crusading army were full of heart. Relative to the look of the creeps at the bottom. Mo Zhigen and the officers under him who led the troops did not dare to imagine this qiē in front of them at all. As officers, they know how difficult it is to keep an army in the same formation, let alone swing their arms and legs in unison. As a general, leading soldiers at the highest level is like a finger, and the bandits on the opposite side have already done it.

As for how strong the combat effectiveness of the army in front of him was, it was quickly reflected. With He Cheng's whistle, the eastern wing army led by him quickly stopped, and with a series of commands, the first row of musketeers aimed their guns at the enemy ten meters away.

Originally, the infantry on the eastern flank of the Yuan army behind the cavalry was ready to follow the cavalry to pick up cheap, but who knew that the cavalry broke up after most of the incomprehensible blows of the Yuan army. The thousand households of this infantry brigade were a capable man (I don't make up the name, this person died soon as cannon fodder), and when the cavalry was defeated, he cut down a few people to collect his troops and prevent his thousand people. Scattered by the rout of the cavalry. But immediately after, the Compree musketeers charged in order. Look at the momentum of the Republican Army. There was a bitterness in the heart of this foot soldier, he was originally a person with some talents. Because he didn't please his boss, he was always ostracized, and finally Mozhigen appreciated him and promoted him. As a man who knew the soldiers, when he saw the advance of the communist army opposite, he abandoned the idea of victory in his heart. He remembered the wind forest volcano in Sun Tzu's Art of War, and the army on the opposite side had only one momentum, and that was the mountain. Set like a mountain, walk like a mountain, attack like a mountain. When the opposite side suddenly stopped, a place away from his own arrow, he thought that the opposite side wanted to fight with his army, he just wanted to give an order, only to see a row of yellow lights on the opposite side, and then he heard a sound in a trance in front of him, and he was unconscious.

Since He Cheng gave the name of opening fire, just the first row of guns, the commander on the opposite side was eliminated, and while losing the top officer, the troops who were originally terrified to the extreme quickly dispersed. Only a few of their own soldiers broke out after losing their masters. As a result, in the second row of gunfire, they went with their little master.

He Cheng looked at the army on the opposite side speechlessly, just a row of guns, and before even a round of gunfire was completed, the opposite side had already transformed from an army into a refugee. This battle is too unchallenging. Before the war, the Supreme Commander repeatedly stressed the need for the army to be prepared for white-knuckle warfare. The whole army is also ready to hang red, and now there is a feeling of a fist in the air.

At this time, the familiar sound of artillery came again, and He Cheng looked at the direction of the attack was the western flank of the Yuan army. He Cheng confirmed that the casualties of the Republican Army this time would not exceed single digits. Then he ordered all the soldiers to put on bayonets, march in line, and quickly seize the east side of the Yuan army.

At the time of the shelling of the western flank of the army, Mozhigen knew that the battle had been completely lost. Mo Zhigen didn't expect the range of the artillery on the opposite side to be so far, and now the artillery of the Chinese army on the opposite side is hitting his west, instead of hitting his own banner, I am afraid that the opposite side has the intention of capturing himself alive. But Mozhigen was really unwilling. Mo Zhigen has already lost most of his gambling capital, and he has not even hurt the fur on the other side. Suddenly, he remembered the drunken words of the head of the firearms army in Dadu: "Artillery, if it does not last, if you fire three cannons in a row, you must wait for it to cool down, otherwise it will explode." Mo Rigen seemed to feel the last straw, so he told the generals around him about the shortcomings of artillery. Because the two wings of the communist army had been out at this time, the Chinese army was weak. The artillery can't fire, and at this time it needs a crack cavalry to smash the main general of the bandit army, which can turn defeat into victory in one fell swoop. Mo Rigen's eyebrows fluttered and he explained to the people below, but no one said anything, and no one refused to take the lead. Mo Rigen's face turned cold, he coerced and seduced him, and finally offered military law and heavy rewards. The last hundred-hundred-man could not stand it, and led the last cavalry of three hundred men to rush towards the sickle banner of the Chinese army.

The men of the original Chinese army saw that the opposing army was ploughed by cannonballs, and was scattered like ducks by friendly troops on both flanks. Originally, there was no hope for further military achievements. Who knew that near the end of the war, such a play, three hundred Spartans charged. At this time, Zhu Zitiao said very uninterestingly, cooling after the three cannons only saves the life of the artillery, and the limit of a type of artillery is ten. As Cheng Pan's Janissary Commander 6 Haima, he blocked back under the pretext that the artillery was wasting gunpowder, just kidding, give you a row of shotguns to hit over, and the opposite side will become a hornet's nest, and you don't have such a head to rob people.

Cheng Pan let the musketeers annihilate the enemy out of economic considerations. A thousand musketeers lined up in a diagonal line to greet the three hundred warriors with a dense rain of bullets. In the end, not a single knight rushed to within 4o meters of the front of the formation. The last glimmer of hope for Morrigan was gone, and although there was no cannon fire on the other side, the musket alone was so powerful. Morrigan was in despair, a little powerless. This is a war that cannot be won under any circumstances. Morrigan felt that he had aged for a moment. This is his subordinates who can't care so much, dragging him to prepare to escape. At this time, the casualties of the army were rapidly rising, and the muskets on both sides were slaughtering the archers. An archer who can shoot a hundred meters is a top archer, with a rate of 1 in 30. But on the opposite side was a large number of muskets with a range of up to 100 meters, and on the opposite side was densely packed. By this time the people who died on the muskets were far more than the lives of the artillerymen.

With the escape of Mo Rigen and the collapse of the Yuan army's flag, the remaining Yuan troops lost their will to fight and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Because the location of this battle is in the northeast of Chaohu Lake, it is called the Battle of Hudong. In this battle, a total of 245o people were killed and wounded by the Yuan army, 1232 people were captured, and the main general Mo Zhigen was defeated and fled. The communist army was wounded a total of 8 people, 5 were hit by arrows in their limbs when shooting at the archers, one was broken when running forward, and two were too high by the cannon and were burned by the cannon.

For the captured Yuan army, Cheng Pan gave the policy of staying freely, staying and changing his surname to join the collective farm, and taking one or two silver for the road. Of course, no one is stupid, and all of them leave their weapons and take money and leave. At the same time, the aftermath of the war will be spread even further.
