Selovi is all burned inside, these ugly Tang people, they actually use this means to block, thinking that in this way they can block the advance of their army, they are dreaming! Before the war, Kluff had reminded Selovy to be careful of the Tang army's endless methods, and pointed out that the Tang army might use long-range weapons such as catapults to strike first, but Selovi still accepted Kloof's suggestion and made some special preparations to deal with it, but he did not expect that the Tang army's methods were to attack with ash bottles and poisonous smoke bombs, which the Merli people had never encountered and had never heard of, and could not deal with it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The long-term Meili army has not experienced such an asymmetrical war for a long time, the battle situation fell into chaos for a while, the powder scattered everywhere was mixed with the poisonous smoke bombs rolling all over the ground, a miasma of black smoke, the officers panicked, in the face of this situation they had never encountered, they couldn't think of how to deal with it, the lime powder was burned so that the eyes could not be opened, the lime powder that had been specially ground was much finer than the lime that was often seen, and it did not land for a long time when it flew into the air, and the poisonous smoke was also quite special, it did not disperse for a long time, and the Meili army that went forward and succeeded suffered enough。

In the face of such a situation, if the commander of the Tang Army still doesn't know what to do, then he can really go to prison, Salem doesn't want to go to prison, naturally knows how to act, and as soon as the flag is unfurled, the soldiers of the Second Division, who have already been burned with a few bowls of burning knives mixed with mare's milk Zhuangxing wine before the expedition, are so red-eyed that they are led by the division commander himself, roaring, shouting, and sweeping over.

The second division, which was arranged into a number of assault arrows, was like a hedgehog with its whole body covered, and suddenly rolled into the paralyzed camp of the Merry people, the lime powder had dissipated, but the poisonous smoke had not yet dissipated, and the soldiers of the second division who had already smeared their eyes with special potions raised their spears flatly, and their whole body strength was poured into the spears with the help of crazy running, and countless spears converged into arrows one by one, piercing deeply into the body of the Merry army.

Selovi was almost mad, the poisonous smoke made his eyes red and swollen, his eyes blurred with tears, his lips were dry, and the army of more than 100,000 people was messed up by something that did not enter the stream, and he could not organize an effective offensive, and the forward officers probably encountered this situation for the first time, and they were also miscommanded in a panic, while ordering the soldiers to disperse to avoid the area where the poisonous smoke bombs and ash bottles were concentrated, while also reorganizing the ranks.

This immediately triggered a chain reaction, the formation of more than 100,000 people is not something that can be changed, the adjustment of a force will almost immediately affect the follow-up steps of the follow-up troops, the crowded Meili army does not know whether to stop and reorganize the formation now, or continue to attack forward, one by one the instructions are passed back to Selovy's hands, and the most chaotic front has been attacked by the Tang army with all its strength at this time.

The ferocious blow of the 2nd Division almost split the Merry Army in front of the face, perhaps because Salem was too eager to crush the enemy army on the opposite side in one fell swoop, and although the multiple arrows made the Merry Army forward fall into a complete collapse, it also limited the impact of the Don Army to a large extent. More than 100,000 Meili troops formed a thick shield-shaped cluster, although the attack of more than 20,000 Tang troops mixed up the forward of the Meili army, but the Meili army won time and gradually took a breath, but the poisonous smoke bombs and ash bottles also made the Meili army suffer enough, if it were not for the thickness of the front army to win them a chance to breathe, they were afraid that they would also be in the catastrophe.

It should be said that Selovi still has the basic qualities of a certain general, at least he is still very careful to separate the front army and the Chinese army to maintain a certain distance, when the Tang army's ash bottle and poisonous smoke bombs exert their power at the same time, he cursed and scolded at the same time had to order the Chinese army to retreat steadily while maintaining the formation, the cruel reality poured a basin of cold snow on his blood that he had been eager to win, and made him sober up a lot, the enemy army in front of him was far from being as easy to deal with as he estimated before the war, even in the case of superior troops, it was still so tricky, which shows that it was not unreasonable for Crouff to be so cautious at the beginning。

Now is not the time to think about how to defeat the other side, to be able to let his main force stabilize the position of the Luzon army to smoothly advance with the main attack to win this battle is already the highest dream, Selovi can't help but regret why he has to do what he can do with both wings, Kluf has already suggested that his side can advance smoothly and drag the right wing of the Tang Army, but he whimsically wants to come up with a strategy of breaking through the center of the double wing, and now it seems really ridiculous.

Just when the left flank Meili Army suffered the double blow of the Tang Army's long-range weapons and close-range assault, and the front army was crumbling, Ying Jianming's Indean Army also suffered a bloody test of life and death. Crouff's strategy is quite concise and clear, that is, to concentrate all the elite assault a little, as long as it can break through the Tang army's front a little, the Luzon army can take advantage of the situation to expand the results, Crouff does not have the same appetite as Cui Wenxiu, it is unrealistic to swallow the 200,000 horses of the Tang army in one bite, he is already very satisfied with the offensive of the Tang army that can be more beautiful, if the reinforcements of his two corps can arrive, it is not too late to expand the results at that time, he is not as optimistic as Selovy The idea that he can easily defeat the other party with the advantage of 100,000 troops。

Crouff divided the three most elite corps into two waves and concentrated on the left flank of the 3rd and 4th divisions of the Indean Corps, and invested 60,000 men and horses in the two corps for the first time, the purpose was simply to tear open the rift and let the reserve corps randomly follow up to completely tear apart the left flank of the Don Army and force the left flank of the Don Army into chaos.

It should be said that his assumption was quite wise, the Luzon Army and the Indean Corps were similar in combat effectiveness, and if he did not concentrate his forces to use them, he would not be able to achieve success at all, and only by concentrating his forces on one point and forcing a breakthrough regardless of casualties could he succeed.

The two corps of the Luzon Army took turns to charge and put great pressure on the 3rd and 4th Divisions of the Tang Army's Indean Corps, although the Tang Army was ready to fight a tough battle of defense, but the courage and madness of the Luzon people still made the 3rd and 4th Divisions feel a little unbearable.

These two divisions were selected from the Taiping Army, but because they had not experienced much fighting in the Indean area, they were helpless against the stubborn defense of the Hansen Confederate Army in the first stage, which made them feel extremely ashamed from the corps commander to the grassroots soldiers, and this battle to take on the heavy responsibility of defense has made the Indean Corps have a sense of humiliation, the Seventh Army and the Tenth Army Corps can take on the main attack task, but the Indean Army has to take on the defense, but after seeing the ferocious offensive of the Luzon Army, they realized that the heavy responsibility that the commander asked them to undertake was no easier than serving as the main attack。

The Luzon divided the 60,000 horses of the two corps into three shock waves, when the first shock wave entered the state of engagement, the second shock wave was already steadily charging, and the third shock wave began to prepare, and the remaining 30,000 troops were temporarily rested and adjusted to replenish, each wave of impact was only half an hour, so as to maximize the attack power of the soldiers and keep the soldiers' attack spirit in the best state.
