Sha Dinghai watched the thousands of troops in front of him press forward with great momentum, and the war elephants in the formation neighed from time to time, which made people tremble. On the contrary, the slender horizontal formation of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side appeared extremely thin, and it seemed that they would be defeated at the slightest touch.

Seeing this, he secretly shook his head, and said in his heart, the visitor in the middle of the night that day said that as long as he could persuade Du Qi to fly out of the city to face the battle, the officers and troops would be able to break through it quickly, why was it such a scene in front of him.

He then thought that maybe this was just the forward squad of the imperial court, and there was another army behind it. But if this is the case, he invested more than 30,000 taels of silver in vain for the "labor army", and when the main force of the official army arrived in Kunming, he had to spend another silver tael.

It's just some silver, as long as it can make Sha Dingzhou's guy unhappy, why not scatter all the wealth?! He clenched his teeth, endless hatred surging in his heart, Sha Dingzhou not only took away his position as the toast, but what was even more odious was that the Wan clan also hooked up with him, and finally kicked himself away like a dog!

Sha Dinghai has no ability, and his brain is dull, but his heart is burning with endless revenge and anger.

The meaning of his remaining life is to see how Sha Dingzhou and that *** die. In the past, even if he had this heart, he didn't know how to do it. It wasn't until that day that a mysterious person planned for him that he suddenly became enlightened and rushed from Mengzi to Kunming.

He made this trip in the name of the labor army, and he paid out of his own pocket, so the people sent by Sha Dingzhou to monitor him could not stop him. When he saw Du Qifei, he talked about the weakness of the official army, and touted that Du Qifei would definitely be able to kill the enemy in one battle, and no one could say anything about him.

It's a perfect conspiracy. He muttered in his heart, but the combat strength of the officers and soldiers was too different from what the man said.

In a moment, the drums in Du Qifei's army became denser, and when he looked up, he saw that his army was advancing in layers, with war elephants as the front, getting closer and closer to the official army.

Sha Dinghai beckoned his entourage to return to the city, and as soon as he turned around, he suddenly heard a series of cannon fires, and he was afraid that there were more than a dozen of them.

He shrank in his heart, and subconsciously looked back, but saw that more than a dozen gaps appeared in Du Qifei's formation, and his soldiers were all stunned, and the momentum of the army's forward movement suddenly slowed down.

At this moment, he and Du Qifei both have a common thought - the official army has so many cannons!

Immediately, another round of artillery rang out on the opposite side. Du Qifei looked forward with a gloomy face, the distance between the two armies was still about one and a half miles, and the artillery in his army was far from being able to reach the official army.

How good is that? He was in a hurry, and Yu Guangzheng saw a smile on Sha Dinghai's face.

Damn, you can't be looked down upon by this waste! He turned his head and shouted to the officer beside him, "Wang Yuanwei, lead the cavalry to disturb the enemy's artillery array!" ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Du Qifei pulled out his saber and pointed at his front finger, "The whole army is moving forward to fight!" A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "After this moment, watch my war elephants trample these officers and soldiers to the ground!" ”

These elephants were purchased from Myanmar by Sath Chau and were clad in thick armor and difficult to enter with bows. The elephant can also take a soldier on its back to shoot arrows downward, it is simply a mobile fortress, and it is really the king of the cold weapon era.

In the past, when fighting with Mu Tianbo's men and horses, the elephant soldiers had always been invincible, because Du Qifei had absolute confidence that as long as the war elephants approached, the enemy army would definitely disperse in a hurry.

Zhu Linmiao could see clearly in the telescope that with the shooting accuracy of the smoothbore cannon, it was difficult to directly hit the five elephants at a distance of more than a mile. And these elephants are blindfolded, driven only by riders, completely unaware of fear.

To be honest, it was the first time he had seen a war elephant on the battlefield. Not to mention the combat power of this thing, the psychological deterrence of soldiers is extremely terrifying, and it must be dealt with carefully.

He frowned and thought for a moment, and then gave Zhang Jiayu some orders.

As the latter conveyed his order, the sound of the cannons in the Dragon Guard gradually subsided, and all the cannons were quickly concentrated in the middle of the infantry line, and began to estimate the angle of fire and replace the shells. At the same time, all the hunters were lined up on both sides of the cannon, forming a combined fire with the artillery.

Soon, the distance between the two armies was less than 300 steps, and the five war elephants in Du Qifei's army stepped out, and the other soldiers gathered behind him, just like the tanks and infantry of later generations advanced in coordination.

But the next moment, Chen Xiongfei's saber pointed at the war elephant on the far left, and the management team in charge of each artillery immediately reported a series of firing parameters, and then they all raised their command flags in their hands, signaling that they were ready.

With Chen Xiongfei's loud order, "Put!" The flags beside more than a dozen cannons were raised at the same time, and then the smoke of the sun was rolled up with a loud thunderous sound.

In an instant, a total of eighteen six-pounder and nine-pounder guns were fired at the same target, and hundreds of scattered bullets formed an "iron wall" and slammed into the war elephant in the distance.

Shooting with scattered bullets at such a close distance, no matter how bad the mission rate is, there will always be a catch. Sure enough, the dense iron ball flew by, and two walnut-sized ones hit the elephant's right front leg.

Although the elephant's legs were covered by scale armor, it was extremely vulnerable in front of the cannon, and the giant beast immediately let out a heart-rending scream, and fell to the ground on its side, crushing more than a dozen soldiers to the left.

And those scattered bullets that did not hit the elephant were not wasted, and when they swept through Du Qifei's array, they also set off a piece of stumps and broken arms, and at least seventy or eighty people were killed instantly.

Chen Xiongfei saw that His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King had a successful tactic, and calmly pointed to the next elephant.

With the loading speed of the Dragon Guard's artillery, the war elephants only walked about twenty paces, and the pipes of each artillery signaled that the shooting was ready.

The effect of this salvo was even more striking, as it appeared that a nine-pounder gun hit the target. An elephant weighing four or five thousand pounds was actually smashed by half of its body, and its flesh and blood gutted out in all directions under the huge impact, dyeing everyone within twenty zhang into blood red.

Du Qifei's soldiers shook the blood on their bodies in horror, and when they looked up, they realized that the war elephant they regarded as a divine object had long since disappeared. The other three elephants that were still alive were more than 200 paces away from the officers and soldiers, and in this case, I am afraid that before they could get close to the enemy, these giant beasts would have been reduced to minced meat.

For a while, the pace of the Tusi soldiers was getting slower and slower, but Chen Xiongfei was already aiming at the third elephant......

When the two armies were still more than 100 paces apart, only one elephant remained in Du Qifei's army. The mahout rider shouted desperately, and stabbed the elephant with his iron fork, and as soon as he sat down, the elephant threw off its hooves and galloped towards the dragon guards.

The infantry in the Dragon Guard line line turned a blind eye and still stood firmly in place. This stems partly from their ironclad military discipline, but also because they firmly believe that the commander will definitely handle the danger in front of him, and he only needs to strictly obey orders.

Gan Xinda licked his mouth, and the crosshair of the mouth was already on the chest of the native soldier riding on the elephant's head. As he held his breath and pulled the trigger, the man immediately snorted and tilted his head and fell, but he was tied to the reins and floated in mid-air.
