Early the next morning, the 150,000 Wei army, which had already been on the eastern front of Gushui, suddenly launched an attack on the Liang army on the opposite bank.

As soon as the battle began, it was in full swing.

"Boom! Bang! ...... "On the wilderness on both sides of the valley, the sound of cannons rumbled, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the fog that steamed up in the early morning shrouded in a thick layer of color.

The Wei army placed a full 300 red-coated cannons on the shore, with special gunners controlling the direction and lighting the fuse, and the soldiers in charge of guarding them patrolled back and forth.

After continuous improvement, the cannon barrel was heated by more than a dozen cannons at the beginning, and then reimbursed, and now it can be used continuously, and it was named "Red Cannon" by Ran Min himself, and the manpower, time, materials, and money consumed are incalculable.

But it's all worth it.

"Kill!"

With the continuous sound of artillery, the Wei soldiers who had long been ready to attack rushed up, rushed to the boats, and began to cross the river under the cover of artillery fire.

Looking down from above, I saw a large number of human heads densely packed with black pressure, as if black clouds were pressing down on the city and wanted to destroy it, and quickly occupied most of the river.

Ran Min stood on the highest hillside and watched the battle with the generals.

There is a big sand table in front of Ran Min, and it can be said that the entire Xiliang is as big as the Chengchi Mountain Range and as small as the bridge and mountain road, all of which are displayed in Ran Min's eyes.

"Phew—"

As soon as the horse came, the herald on the horse turned over and said, "Report - Your Majesty, Zuo Yu Lin Wei has landed and is attacking the enemy's right entrenchment!" ”

"Probe!"

As soon as the herald retreated, another herald turned over and dismounted, saying, "Your Majesty, the right guard has landed and is attacking the enemy's left entrenchment!" ”

"Probe!"

"Report - Your Majesty, the left and right guards have landed and are attacking the enemy's city camp!"

"Probe!"

"Report - Your Majesty, the Liang army along the coast has begun to retreat, and the Shenji battalion asks if the shelling will be stopped!"

"Be on guard! Stop shelling! ”

"No!"

Ran Min was still thinking about something with his head down, and Ma Qiu next to him said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the first battle was won, or the battle was won in a row, the minister thought that now taking advantage of the low morale of the enemy army, and our army's momentum is like a rainbow, the whole army will cross the river to fight and pull out the Liang army camp in one fell swoop!" ”

When Ran Min heard this, he waved his hand and said, "The time is not yet ripe for the whole army to attack." The reason why the Liang army along the coast retreated was because they were afraid of the power of the red-clothed cannons, but once our whole army pressed it, the place on the bank of the valley was so small that the army really couldn't deploy it! ”

"Your Majesty, can we take the opportunity to advance the red-coated cannon? The power of the red-clothed cannon is extremely great, and it has the power to destroy the withering and decaying, and it is expected that the camp built by the Liang army in just over a month will definitely not be able to resist the red-clothed cannon! ”

Ran Min still shook his head and said, "It's too risky. If it is on land, there is no problem for us to advance the range of the red-coated cannon, but now it is a river crossing operation, what if the Liang army takes advantage of the situation to cover up and kill? ”

"This ...... The minister is greedy and thoughtless, please punish Your Majesty! ”

"What did Ma Qing say? The matter of discussing the army is to speak freely, and there is no difference between right and wrong. ”

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

Ran Min squinted his eyes and said, "First pull out the trenches on both sides of the Liangjun City Camp and cut off their arms!" ”

According to the military order issued by Ran Min, the Wei soldiers who had already crossed the valley were divided into two routes, each attacking the trench camps on both sides of the Liangjun city camp.

The soldiers of the Wei army showed great tenacity, rushing forward as far as the eye could see, and many of them fell directly into the trenches, being poked to death by the enemy's spears, and their bodies were dismembered.

"Die!"

Looking at his comrades-in-arms who fell in front of him, the Wei pawn behind him was very angry, with a heart of blood, he pounced with red eyes, even if he was hit by an arrow, he gritted his teeth and endured until the last drop of blood was drained!

The fortifications of the trench camp are not very perfect, although there is a certain blocking effect, but under the crowd tactics of the Wei army, it is still crumbling, and many Wei soldiers rushed into the trench camp, but they were soon driven out again.

Fearing that the trench camp would be lost, the Liang generals sent people to ask Xie Ai in the camp for help.

In this regard, Xie Ai felt a headache.

Send troops to rescue, lest you fall into an ambush by the Wei army, don't send troops to rescue, maybe the trenches on both sides will fall, and then the next step for the Wei army is to attack their city camp!

"The Grand Governor, the last general is willing to lead the troops to rescue the trench camps on both sides!" At this time, Zhang Qin, the general of the Central Protector Army, stood up.

"The last general is also willing to lead the troops!" All the generals in the big tent asked for battle.

Seeing that all the generals were so enthusiastic, Xie Ai couldn't dampen their enthusiasm, but he had to say bluntly: "Rank, I know that you are not afraid of the Wei army and Ran Min, but you don't care about one or the other. The strength of the Wei army is far more than that of our army, and there are rare things such as red-coated cannons, which are extremely powerful! What if we are ambushed by the Wei army halfway through, or if the Wei army is just waiting for us to send troops to rescue the trench camp? ”

"This ...... Governor, but we can't die without help, right? ”

"Yes! Dadu Governor, the Wei army has 150,000 troops, and our Liang army has almost 100,000 horses! Even if it's a head-on battle, what's there to fear? ”

The corners of Xie Ai's mouth twitched, such a headless and brainless word could be spoken, if the Liang army was really so powerful, he could fight the Wei army one-on-one without falling behind, and he Xie Ai would not only defend but not attack, and shrink in the western front of Gushui and develop obscenely.

At this moment, the herald came to report that the trench camps on the left and right had fallen one after another, and the Wei army on the opposite side had begun to attack with all their troops.

"Boom!" A loud bang lit up like thunder.

"What sound?"

"What's going on?"

"It's the sound of cannons! It's the sound of a red-coated cannon! The Wei army really came over! ”

Xie Ai sighed, these generals were actually frightened by the power of the red-clothed cannon, and they were so frightened that even when he felt the bombardment of the red-clothed cannon, he couldn't help but be afraid and afraid.

This cannon can blow up people's bodies into a blur of flesh and blood, and not to mention, even the strong city walls can be blown up, and the range is so far, it is conceivable that the Wei army, which has this kind of sharp weapon, is like a tiger with wings, and it is not able to survive long at all!

"Pass the order, the whole army retreats!"

"What are you talking about, Grand Duke?"

Xie Ai said in a deep voice: "I said, retreat!" ”

Zhang Qin said incredulously: "Metropolitan Governor, we haven't reached the point where the general trend has gone, right?" Isn't retreating at this time cheaper for the Wei army? ”

Xie Ai glared at Zhang Qin and said, "If you don't withdraw now, it will be too late for the Wei army to come ashore and gain a firm foothold!" Order the withdrawal of troops! ”

"No!"

Under Xie Ai's order, the Liang army began to retreat to the west in an orderly manner, and at the same time burned some of the grain and baggage that could not be taken away, and never left a grain of grain to the Wei army.

On the east bank of Gushui, the Wei army is in Daxu.

Looking at it from Ran Min's position, he saw that the Liang army camp in the distance had already risen a faint fire, and the smoke was filled, as if it was walking on water.

"Report - Your Majesty, the Liang army has begun to retreat!"

Ran Min bowed slightly: "Very good." ”

I didn't expect that this river crossing operation would be so smooth, almost overwhelming, and the first battle was successful.

Of course, there is the credit of the red-clothed cannon, and the soldiers' lives also occupy a large part, but Xie Ai was able to give up the construction of the city camp for more than a month so easily, which made Ran Min unbelievable.

But is it really that simple?

"Report - Your Majesty, the left and right guards have entered the enemy camp and begun to pursue the retreating Liang army!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Ran Min changed color.
