In July in the south, when the heat was at its peak, Bai Wang was holding a clairvoyant mirror in the shade of the mountains and looking in the direction of the north, and within more than ten miles south of Tongling City, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were scattered in the shade to repair their soldiers and horses, looking chaotic, but he knew that once his men and horses were out of the position, these scattered officers and soldiers would immediately come head-on.

Of course, he will not go out to the battlefield again to take advantage of his own shortcomings and the strengths of others, and he will take advantage of the terrain to consume the strength of officers and men, so as to achieve his goal of opposing the enemy.

Seeing that in addition to all the soldiers and horses, there were still all kinds of long-range weapons such as artillery and stone throwers, he knew that he was going to move in earnest, although he was confident in his heart, he did not dare to be careless, and ordered all units to brave the scorching sun to strengthen their positions, and transfer their troops to various breakthrough points, from the foot of the mountain in the east to the riverside in the west in order to achieve perfection before he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the generals to repeatedly check whether there were loopholes, he did not want to give the little eunuch any opportunity to take advantage of.

This toss has arrived, the sun is still hot at the head of the sun is still hot, the trees and grass on the ground are all drooping their heads and dying, the soldiers are also hot like dogs, sticking out their tongues and panting, gulping mountain spring water.

"Have you ever found the eunuch's whereabouts?" Bai Wang asked a few of his own soldiers around him, these people had been observing the officers and soldiers with clairvoyant mirrors, trying to find the location of their generals and then bombarding them with heavy artillery.

"Report to the commander, I didn't find it, maybe they have gone back to the city!" The soldier shook his head.

"If you want me to say, just bombard a place with a lot of people, if you don't do it, you will see that the eunuch is blown up, even if you don't blow up the eunuch, you won't lose money," Wang Yien muttered.

Yuan Sanzhong thought that it was impossible to eliminate targets at fixed points, and that there was no point in just bombarding them indiscriminately with two cannons, but Wang Yien and Bai Wang both felt that at least they could disturb the enemy and disrupt the enemy's mind, and Yuan Sanzhong thought that it was a waste of ammunition, and it was better to find out where the officers and soldiers and generals were when they were launched.

"Since the officers and soldiers know that we have artillery, there is no need to worry about startling the snake" Bai Wang decided to fire a few cannons to disturb the enemy's morale, and then look for an opportunity to bombard the opponent's generals when the war begins!

With Chang Yu's prudence, since he knew that the thief army had at least two red-clothed cannons and was in its range at this time, how could he not make some cover-ups, not raise flags, not pile up, and take off his battle armor as soon as he took off his armor was no different from ordinary soldiers, at this time, he was in the woods by the river with his back against the trunk of a tree and whispered or closed his eyes to recuperate.

Suddenly, a loud bang exploded a few meters away, injuring several people and howling miserably, causing the surrounding soldiers to run wildly, Chang Yu looked at the several holes in the tree trunk around him that were collapsed, and the nearest one was less than ten centimeters away from his head, and he was also startled, and his heart was not discovered by the thief army!

"Overseer, let's go" Chen Sole and the brothers dragged Chang Yu left and right and ran into the woods to the north, Chang Yu scolded the thief army Tai Nima for being hateful as he ran, but he thought that he would do the same.

There was another loud bang, but it came from the east, Chang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the thief army was just a random bombardment, of course, he knew their intentions well, but he was helpless.

However, the red-coated cannon has a cumbersome reloading procedure, and it takes two or three minutes to shoot a shot, and it is also very troublesome to turn the muzzle, and the thief army only has two cannons, even if it is fired randomly, the damage to the city will not be much, and Chang Yu does not believe that he will fire endlessly, how many shells can there be.

But Bai Wang didn't expect to cause much damage to the officers and soldiers, what he wanted was to make the officers and soldiers panic, in fact, he did it, but Chang Yu was hiding in a forest with his back against a big tree, and even if the shells hit, it would be extremely difficult to hurt him.

"Remember this account for him first, and when it is cold in the evening, the old accounts and old accounts will be settled for him together" Chang Yu said and turned his head, he decided to sleep first, and only after he had enough strength could he fight happily.

Evening is before sunset, to be precise, between half past five and half past seven in the afternoon, in ancient times it was called unitary time between five and seven o'clock, and the summer day is long and the sky is still bright after sunset, and even almost eight o'clock before it gets dark.

At this time, it was the scorching heat of July, the time came, the sunset was obliquely hung and the heat was gone, Chang Yu, who woke up from sleep, went to the river to wash his pleasure again, and after going ashore, he summoned the generals to arrange the troops.

The main frontal attack was changed to Lu Daqi's Nanjing soldiers and horses by Jin Shenghuan to hang the vanguard, Wang Tizhong's troops assisted from the west flank, Wu Sangui Make and the cavalry of the Dongchang Sanwei changed to infantry and then prepared for battle, Wu Weiying's Shenji battalion and stone throwers were responsible for fire suppression, and each department was to gradually transfer manpower to gradually a nearly 500 archers on the east flank to snipe the archers on the high ground of the thief army, and at the same time ordered Lu Daqi to send a thousand people to attack from the east to attack the mountain to disturb the enemy.

"We must take the position of the thief army before dark, we only have this one chance, and it will be extremely difficult not to do it once, and it will be extremely difficult next time," Chang Yu said solemnly as he swept the generals.

Everyone bowed their heads, and they all understood that if they couldn't make up the work this time, how could there be a next time.

"Everyone is in place, wait for the order to attack" Chang Yu shouted, and the generals ordered to go.

The officers and soldiers began to dispatch troops, naturally unable to escape Bai Wang's gaze on the mountains, and glanced sideways to the west, the sunset was crumbling on the west mountain, so he took a long breath and gave the order to go down to prepare for battle.

"The attack of the officers and soldiers must be suppressed by artillery first, and we will attack his artillery formation with strong artillery first, although it cannot stop its attack, but it can also make its formation chaotic" Yuan Sanzhong proposed, which was approved by Bai Wang.

Subsequently, just as the officers and soldiers mobilized their troops and horses to advance towards the position of the thieves, the two red-coated cannons of the thieves opened fire and bombarded the officers and soldiers in the center.

However, this is not the Divine Machine Battalion!

How could the Shenji Battalion be at the forefront, the main attack force of Jin Shenghuan from the king's body at the forefront!

"them, it's quite fast," Chang Yu scolded in a low voice, and then asked the standard-bearer beside him to order the Shenji Battalion to fire.

In addition to the infantry's firearms, the main firearms of the Shenji battalion are more than 200 tiger squat cannons and more than 100 Zhankou generals, the tiger squat cannons are light and light only about 40 catties, similar to the mortars of later generations, you can change places to bombard with one cannon, which is very mobile and flexible, so how could Wu Weiying let them all nest together for the thief army to bombard, but the east and west are lined up and scattered in the various army formations, of course, the bow and arrow position of the thief army in the eastern flank mountain range is their main target.

At the same time, nearly 100 stone throwers were activated, and the shells and stones were poured into the position of the thieves and the mountains to the east like a torrential rain.

Although the range of the tiger squat cannon is small, the lethality of its shells is very large, because he can fire flowering shells, a cannonball containing more than 100 lead bullets or stones can cover more than ten meters around the perimeter, the middle one is injured, and can fire a solid bullet to hit the meat mud, not to mention that the range of the general Zhankou is much farther than the tiger squat cannon.

For a while, the thieves rained down bullets, and Bai Wang hid under the rocks on the mountain ridge and looked at the firepower offensive, his face turned pale, he didn't expect the firepower of the officers and soldiers to be so fierce, and he had a faint feeling of something bad in his heart.

Almost just when the artillery roared, Chang Yu gave an order, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Tizhong led their troops to kill directly to the position of the thief army, which was full of deep pits and trenches, and the thief army hid here in groups to block, but was killed and injured by a burst of artillery fire from the Shenji battalion, and in the face of the officers and soldiers who rushed over like a tide, where could they stop, so they had to retreat again and again to form a defensive line outside the range of the artillery.

"Shenji Battalion Rush Forward" Wu Weiying is now a seasoned commander, and he doesn't need Chang Yu to mention that he will see the thief army retreating, so he will let the artillery press forward to fight, to open the way for the frontal attacking troops to relieve the pressure.

"East, east, Lao Wu transferred firepower to the east to fight ......" Chang Yu shouted over there, it turned out that the archers of the thief army on the mountain ridge saw the officers and soldiers rushing into the position and began to shoot and suppress, they occupied the high ground and had a long range, plus just now they were outside the range of the Shenji battalion, the damage was small, and they also took a big advantage.

It's just that they didn't take advantage of it for long, because before the battle, Chang Yu classified this place as a key attack target, and the previous artillery bombardment could not reach them, but as the artillery of the Shenji battalion rushed into the position, they began to greet them, in addition to the five hundred archers formed earlier, they also began to rush forward and shoot back, and they ushered in the rain of shells and arrows after only half a cup of tea, and the bow and arrow positions of the thieves on the mountain ridge were dumb in a blink of an eye, and the archers turned their heads and went into the mountains and forests to flee for their lives, and there was no time to suppress the attack of the officers and soldiers.

Bai Wangqi scolded, and was just about to rush out to command, when suddenly a cannonball smashed and frightened him, he hurriedly got under the rock, and it turned out that he had also entered the firing range, what the hell is this......

When he was angry, his own soldiers rushed to us with panic on their faces: "Commander, the officers and soldiers are sending more than 1,000 people to attack the mountain and kill us......

"The mountain is steep, and you are high and guarding their point can't make any waves, this move is just a plan to disturb the enemy......" Before he finished speaking, another soldier reported urgently: "Hundreds of officers and soldiers have been killed behind the mountain!" ”

What the! Bai Wang's face was shocked, "It was sneaked to the back of the mountain by hundreds of officers and soldiers, are you all rice buckets!" Go and block Lao Tzu, don't we have hundreds of brothers behind the mountain! ”

Bai Wang was a little hysterical, and punched hard on the rock, the eunuch of the dog day, it is really yin enough, it is really yin enough!
