In the mountains and forests at night, it is easy to hide without seeing your fingers, and even if you set up a police post, it is difficult to ensure that you will not be infiltrated by the other party.

But it's a different story if you set a lot of traps first, and it's often more effective than sending people to keep watch.

Long Zaitian led the people, and took advantage of the hour before dark to start urgently laying traps on the mountain. These natives usually rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, lay a trap, and install some iron clips at that time, and they are very fast to make.

After they laid out the traps, Long Zaitian personally went to check them and was very satisfied.

Now it's okay, just wait for the evening, and the Qin army will step on it himself.

What Long Zaitian didn't expect was that their every move had already fallen into the eyes of the scouts of the Qin army.

The Qin army's scouts were very clever in camouflage, and Long Zaitian even walked less than three feet away from a Qin army scout, but he didn't even notice it.

After Long Zaitian laid the trap and the team withdrew, the scouts of the Qin army acted quickly and silently cleaned up the sentry posts left by Long Zaitian, and then cleared a safe passage.

When they had done this, it was getting dark.

Long Zaitian, who thought he was foolproof, never dreamed that as soon as it was dark, a small group of people and horses of the Qin army would descend from the sky like divine soldiers, and rockets would cross the sky like meteors, which was extremely gorgeous, and people were so angry that they could see it.

When these meteors smashed into the garrison of the Dongwu army in an incomparably magnificent state, everyone woke up like a dream.

In an instant, but a shocking sound was heard, deafening, and a ball of fireball rose up on the mountain, sweeping across. Countless Dongwu soldiers screamed and howled at the sound of the explosion, and the firelight was littered with figures scurrying like headless flies.

The Qin army, which had already been prepared, launched a huge attack beyond the moment of the enemy's panic, breaking through the enemy's defensive mountain pass in one fell swoop. Swarming.

Fortunately, not all of the 20,000 Dongwu army were arranged on the mountain, but more than 10,000 were arranged on the plain behind the mountain.

Seeing that the Qin army quickly broke through the defenses on the mountain and slaughtered his camp, the mountains were filled with firelight and shouts, and he could only dispatch the most elite elephant soldiers to try to block the Qin army's tidal attack. Gain time for the more than 10,000 troops in the battalion to retreat.

Five hundred elephant soldiers rushed out of the camp and ran, and the huge body and pillar-like elephant legs hit the ground, and the momentum was so great that it was like a tank charging with full strength, and the earth really shook the mountain, which was extremely amazing.

Cui Feng wanted to capture these elephant soldiers alive, so he had already made preparations, and when he saw that Ping Dali really sent these elephant soldiers to stop the enemy. Cui Feng immediately ordered Chen Guimin to attack.

Chen Guimin's 2,000 Qin troops were scattered into four, each holding a handful of dry firewood and grass, and when the elephant soldiers rushed close to dozens of steps, they set fire together. The firewood and grass were poured with fire oil, and for a moment the flames soared into the sky, forming a raging wall of fire.

Elephants are naturally afraid of fire, so fierce walls of fire. No matter how the elephant soldiers forced, hundreds of elephants did not dare to rush to the wall of fire.

Seeing that the elephants were frightened by the fire, the two thousand Qin troops rushed to the surrounding area of the elephant array. piles of firewood and grass;

In a matter of moments, hundreds of elephants were trapped in the middle of the fire.

The Qin army took advantage of the firelight to quickly shoot the elephant soldiers on the back of the elephant with their rifles, and in the sound of the gunshots, the elephant soldiers on the back of the elephant fell down like dumplings.

Hundreds of elephants were besieged by the fire, and in panic, they spun around, trampling the fallen elephant soldiers to the ground.

"Those who descend will not die!"

"Those who descend will not die!"

The Qin troops outside the wall of fire shouted in unison, and the elephant soldiers, who were ravaged by bullets, could only surrender one after another

The Qin army has an army of 40,000, and there are only a few thousand men and horses used to besiege these 500 elephants, and the others have already taken advantage of the elephants to be trapped and killed in Pingdali's camp.

Although Pindari was old in battle formations and had a good command, he could not help but panic a little in this situation, and he immediately sent 5,000 men and horses, led by the general Zoba, to block the enemy, and then led the army to retreat hastily.

Zuoba's 5,000 men and horses lined up on the plain, blocked the enemy with bows and arrows, and erected a shield wall in front of the formation with iron shields to block the bullets of the Qin army.

In the night, 5,000 people fired a salvo, and the black and oppressive arrow rain covered the sky, nailed to the ground with a pop, and Miao Xi and other Tusi soldiers and horses who rushed in front of them to shoot the water dogs were shot down one after another by the fierce arrow rain, screaming endlessly, and the chaotic offensive was stagnant.

As soon as Bai Wenxuan saw this shape, he immediately brought in rockets, and seven or eight rockets roared away, and the fierce explosion instantly destroyed Zuoba's shield wall, and one by one the Dongwu soldiers were blown up into the sky, and their limbs flew away like rain.

Immediately afterwards, the Qin army lined up a three-stage firing formation, and continued to fire outside the range of the enemy's bow and arrow.

Woohoo!

Woohoo!

Woohoo!

The chirping bullets were like a scythe cutting wheat in autumn, causing the Dongwu soldiers to fall in rows, bleeding and pestles, and the five thousand Donggo soldiers were powerless to fight back, and immediately collapsed.

Now Miao Xi, Huang Zhigao, Duan Changqing and other Tusi had the opportunity to take revenge, and they rushed forward desperately and slashed Zuoba's rout;

They worked in groups of several people to cut down the people in front, and those in the back immediately rushed up and cut off the heads of their enemies with sharp scythes, like collecting watermelons in the field;

After cutting off the head, they grabbed the hair and patted the head, and the head spun so fast that the hair was quickly twisted into a rope for them to tie the head to the waistband of their trousers.

These native soldiers all rely on their heads to receive rewards, and Cui Feng's price is five heads and one dragon coin, so they will never put a head, and wherever the Tusi soldiers pass, they are like locusts, leaving only headless corpses all over the ground.

As soon as Zuoba's 5,000 soldiers and horses collapsed, the tens of thousands of Dongwu troops who hurriedly retreated in front of them were suddenly in chaos, and they no longer listened to the command, everyone rushed to flee for their lives, pushing and shoving, trampling on each other, and even slashing each other in order to grab the road, and countless people died.

In this night battle, Cui Feng not only captured 500 elephants as he wished, but also defeated Ping Dali.

When the 20,000 troops brought by Ping Dali fled back to Hanlong Pass, on the border between Yunnan and Dongwu, there were less than 4,000 men left, and all of them were wolves, and most of them even threw away their weapons.

Hanlong Pass is located in the southern part of the Ruili area of Mangbang Mountain, in the twenty-second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1594), in order to consolidate the border defense, Yunnan governor Chen Yongbin set up eight passes and nine passes in the border fortress of Yingjiang, Longchuan and Ruili to defend.

These eight passes and nine passes are distributed on the Sino-Burmese border, among which Hanlong Pass is the most important, guarding the most important crossing of Baoshan and Tengchong into Myanmar.

After Ping Dali fled here to stabilize his position, he also wanted to use this dangerous barrier to resist Cui Feng's army, because if he retreated to the south, it would be the territory of Dongwu Kingdom.

Cui Feng seized a large amount of grain and grass and military supplies, and the soldiers were also very tired after chasing down the way, so he ordered to rest in Ruili for two days, and after preparing to rest, he went to Ava, the capital of Dongwu Kingdom, in one go.

For Cui Feng, it is much easier to fight this battle in other countries than in China.

Especially in places like Yunnan, roads are difficult to travel and supplies are difficult. Once they enter the territory of the enemy's country, they can supply the enemy with food, and only need to replenish ammunition, so that the logistical pressure will be greatly reduced.

Now the Great Qin Ordnance Supervisor has made a great breakthrough in the production of yellow explosives, rockets are no longer as scarce as before, Cui Feng brought thousands of rockets this time, which is also the confidence that he dared to say that he hit Ava City, the capital of Dongwu.

Rockets are not only powerful, easy to destroy cities, but also easy to carry.

Fighting in such mountainous areas can provide sufficient fire support for the army, but it is not as cumbersome as artillery and affects the speed of marching.

As soon as the army was settled in Ruili, Cui Feng summoned the generals and said: "Next, we are going to enter the enemy's territory to fight, all the grain and grass must be snatched from the enemy country, the north of Dongwu country, mostly mountainous, sparsely populated, if the 40,000 troops are concentrated together to advance, it is not necessary, it will also affect the speed of the march, and it is difficult to grab sufficient food and grass supplies;

Therefore, we must divide our troops, go all the way, and march together, because the troops are scattered, the movement will be faster, and it will be easier to get sufficient food and grass supplies.

However, it is difficult to support each other when the forces are dispersed, so everyone should be careful not to fall into an ambush by the enemy. As long as you don't get ambushed, with the strong firepower of our army, it will be difficult for the enemy to stop, and it shouldn't be difficult to kill all the way to Ava City. ”

"Yes, General!" The crowd will respond in unison.

Next, Cui Feng began to assign combat tasks, Bai Wenxuan, Chen Guimin, Chen Ruizheng, and Li Tongbin each led a group of men, Cui Feng led the main force, and the troops were divided into five routes, and they attacked Ava City.
