The Ming army in the southwest of the Xiying system once achieved remarkable results in the Ming and Qing wars by relying on the war elephant. Whether it was Li Dingguo's defeat of Kong Youde in the Yanguan field battle, forcibly breaking through the Chenzhou city gate, or Liu Wenxiu's raid of the Qing army in Sichuan that year, the war elephant was of great significance.

With such a terrifying army that broke the formation, the Xiying rested and recuperated in Yunnan, Sun Kewang's internal affairs ability, and Li Dingguo's use of troops as a god, the huge trend of destroying the Qing Dynasty and sweeping the world in the sixth year of Yongli was possible.

The war elephants rushed over, and the gunners of the Folang machine cannons of the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang retreated into the formation one after another. Next, as the war elephants continued to approach, the hollow square formation that was about to be attacked by the war elephants immediately opened a large gap, illuminating the inside of the square formation. At the same time, the war elephants had no room for turning and rushed in in a daze.

The war elephant is the strongest mobile fortress in the age of cold weapons, and it also has the saying of ancient tanks. The war elephant rushed into the hollow square formation with fearlessness. In a blink of an eye, the infantry guarded just rushed in, but the gap in the square formation closed as if it was closed. Then the Qin Fan battle formation, which followed at that distance, was locked outside, and directly suppressed their charge with the spear of 15 feet.

In an instant, the battlefield was divided into inside and outside. The battle formation outside failed to take advantage of the situation and had to retreat a little. One was to breathe a sigh of relief and readjust the battle formation. The other was to wait for the battle elephants that had already rushed into the "enemy group" to show their might and destroy the entire square formation. They could also take the opportunity to cover up the killing. However, in the next second, what they were waiting for was not the battle elephants roaring in the square formation with wanton killing!

The war elephant rushed into the phalanx, but the driver did not see the officers under his command. Instead, there was only a clearing ground surrounded by the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After looking carefully, except for the side they rushed into, the other three sides of the hollow phalanx had already changed their formation. The spear was no longer external, but pointed at the direction of the elephant obliquely. What made the palm of the driver tremble even more was that in front of the spear, all the musketeers in this game pointed the muzzle at the huge body of the war elephant without exception.

The Lumi gun and the turtledove-legged gun have as many as forty or fifty muskets. This is clearly a trap created by changes in the battle formation, specifically dug for these war elephants!

Before the saliva in the driver's mouth was swallowed, the war elephant rushed in, and before he could reach the center of the open space, he came to the center of the open space. With a command, the musketeers on the front, back, left and right sides pressed the trigger.

The volley sounded, and the smoke of the gunpowder enveloped the entire hollow square array. The volley sounded before it dissipated, but the whine of the war elephant soared upwards, pressing the volley directly over.

When the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, the other three sides of the musketeers, except for the side that they were receiving the enemy, had already retreated behind the spear formation. They saw that the unstoppable battle elephant had just fallen to the ground, and even the drivers, archers and the guards had fallen into a pool of blood. I just don't know whether this blood belongs to the war elephant, theirs, or both.

The battle elephant fell to the ground, and the spearmen rushed forward, aiming at the battle elephant that was ignorant of life and death, and even the drivers, the archers and guards did not let go. They did not regain their formation until they were determined that the enemy troops were completely dead. Instead, the fire soldiers from each team and the auxiliary soldiers of the army cleaned up the corpses.

No matter how thick the skin of the war elephant is, it may only cause skin injury when facing the bird gun. However, at this distance, although the Lumi gun is light, it is enough to cause greater actual damage. What's more, there are heavy convex guns such as the turtledove-legged gun. The bullets pass through the skin and flesh and go directly to the internal organs. If it weren't for the war elephant, it would not be impossible to penetrate directly.

Most of the war elephants were directly killed in the hollow square formation, which was not without survivors. The pain made the war elephants violent. However, next, spearmen from three directions rushed up. Such a huge creature was made of flesh and blood. Even if it caused some damage, it would inevitably die under the spear.

At this moment, as the staff officer of Pujiang Camp, Zhang Gongyan sighed subconsciously. When the battle elephant rushed into the battle formation just now, it was so majestic and domineering, but in a flash, it was quickly surrounded and annihilated into the formation, even worse than simply rushing in a group of enemy troops. After all, at such a distance, the hollow square formation shoots inward, and crosses the enemy, and the other side is also robed, and it is inevitable that there will be accidental injury. However, the size of this battle elephant is really not small. As long as the musketeers point upwards to drive the battle elephant upwards, it will be impossible for accidental injury to happen.

"This army has been trained so far, let alone the generals of Guan and Zhang. Such a giant is bound to die, so Jiannu is even more troublesome!"

This place has reached the gate of Guizhou. If we follow Sun Kewang's transformation boundary, this place is even Guizhou. After passing Guizhou, the next thing is Yunnan, where his hometown is. Perhaps, this experience can be returned home in glory.

"It's a pity that the Tartars have not been completely eliminated. Now when they return to their hometown, they feel a little embarrassed to meet the elders of Jiangdong."

When he went to Zhejiang with the mission, he decided to stay and wrote a letter to go home, wanting to follow Chen Wen in Zhejiang to kill all the Tartars, and even quoted Huo Qubing's famous saying "Why did the Huns be destroyed, why did the family work?". However, although he has now forced the Qing Dynasty to the brink of destruction, he was not defeated by that last, which really made him feel a little regretful.

The thoughts were just a moment in Zhang Gongyan's mind, and soon he focused his attention on the battle in front of him. Pujiang Camp was a unit under the Yuyao Division, and it was the old camp that had been built for a long time. Back then, he also walked a hundred miles overnight to attack Lanxi County from Zhengjiawu Town, thus achieving the encirclement and annihilation of most of the eight banners of the eight thousand Han army.

At this moment, the Yuyao Army was on the right wing of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the northernmost part of the battlefield, and then headed north into the mountains and even upstream of the water. Zhang Gongyan, the old staff officer of the base camp and the new battalion officer of the surrendered general, were also paying attention to the safety of the flanks while commanding the base camp to fight.

"The battalion officer, the staff officer, there is movement in the mountainous area on the side, and the cavalry of the brigade is moving towards Yuanzhou Prefecture City."

Hearing this, the two Zhang looked at each other, then Zhang Gongyan nodded, and Zhang Hongde continued to command the camp to fight, and he found a messenger to explain the information to him, and asked the messenger to arrive at Shuaiqi as soon as possible to report to Chen Wen. However, when he returned to the camp flag, he saw Zhang Hongde frowning, and when he saw him coming back, he even pointed in the direction in front of the formation.

Through the telescope, Zhang Gongyan immediately noticed that in front of the battle formation, there were some felt-clad feet in the direction of the Qin vas army, and other soldiers dressed up as if they were out of the crowd. What was more conspicuous was that wherever they went, the Qin vas soldiers were all allowing them to open the road, and seemed to have a considerable degree of trust in them.

"Rolls?"

"Rolls!"

Not only Zhang Gongyan and others, but all the frontier commanders quickly noticed these Yi warriors, and even Chen Wen was the same. However, he didn't care about this, and just took a rough look and focused his attention on Sun Kewang's Qin King banner.

The battle in front of the formation continued, and the spear, which was ten to five feet long, was like a natural chasm, lying between the two armies, which made the Qin army, which was still using weapons such as swords, shields and seven to eight feet of spears, which were more capable of exerting personal bravery, always in a passive state of being beaten.

As the last battle elephant fell to the ground in the hollow square formation, the Qin army completely fell into one-sided hand-to-hand combat. If this continues, it will inevitably be a crushing defeat, so Sun Kewang sent out all the Luoluo in his hands.

This army was formed by Sun Kewang after the Battle of the Fork Road. Since Luo Luo performed well during the confrontation, he recruited as many as possible after the crushing defeat, which came in handy.

Luo Luo held two swords in his hand, and rushed up like a mad tiger when he switched to the formation. Just like in previous battles, Luo Luo and others were separated by a greater distance to make the two swords in their hands fly up and down. They have always been warriors in the Southwest Ming army. After the front line entered a stalemate, they encountered the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Unlike the Qing army before, they still did the same thing, ignored the long spear jungle and rushed over.

However, the following scene made all the Qin soldiers present feel frightened, because the Luo Luo and Luo who were wearing felt and milled feet rushed to the front of the formation. Under the stimulation of several spears, they blocked the left and right, but they still could not avoid being stabbed to death in their original fate.

Liao Yiran put away the spear. Luo Luo in front of him did not fall for a while, but judging from the color of the blood gushing out of his mouth, it clearly hurt the internal organs and basically had no way to live.

Heavy armor is a burden even if you practice it every day, but it doesn't matter if the armor is heavy. It's always better than the barefoot guys in front of you, who are at most wearing leather armor and waving their swords. It's clear that the guys who want to use their martial arts to the extreme need to be too safe.

"What are these things? If you don't even bring a shield when facing the gun array, isn't this going to die?"

There were many questions in my heart. In fact, it was not only him, but many Ming troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had such ideas. If you want to break the spear formation, it would be better to use a shield formation. Even if you develop a new battle formation with spears and fire guns like today, it is no less than the spears and fire guns, and the rat battle between the Ming troops of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the swords and shields is very threatening. There is no one who can go on the battlefield without even a shield. This is not a one-on-one duel, but this is a real battle in the array!

These Luo Luo are all warriors in various villages, and they were also highly anticipated in the Ming army in the southwest. However, this kind of army that tried to maximize personal bravery in the face of team-type tactics is far inferior to those ordinary sword, shield soldiers and spearmen.

The climax of swords and bloody blood had come to an end before it was staged. Such a scene really scared everyone in the Qin vassal army, so that after killing all these Yi warriors, the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang could still have some free time to adjust the formation before fighting with the Qin vassal soldiers again.

War Elephant and Luo Luo are the two most representative special troops of the Ming army in the Southwest. In order to enable them to play their greatest role, the Ming army in the Southwest has even improved its own tactics to a certain extent. However, these two powerful weapons to break the formation were completely useless in front of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The war Elephant was fine, at least it changed into a formation, but Luo Luo sank into a pool of blood without even shooting out a splash and disappeared again.

Sun Kewang listened to all this in a daze, fear began to spread in his heart, but when he thought that he was now the object of Chen Wen's king, when he thought that he was already the reserve team for the usurpation of the throne in Yongli's eyes, when he thought about how he had bullied for so many years, merciting Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, and even when he thought that there was no existence of even a Qing army south of the Yangtze River, this fear of no way out instantly overwhelmed the fear of defeat - now, all he could do was to fight to the death here.

"How long have the two wastes, Wu Dading and Zhang Sheng, set out? Why haven't they killed the Yuanzhou Prefecture City?!"

This is Sun Kewang's third and last killer move in this battle. Compared with Zhan Xiang and Luo Luo, the tactic of sneak attacking the rear path is not new. There have been too many people in ancient and modern times, and he is not short of him. And just when he was anxious about this, Chen Wen also received Zhang Gongyan's battle report, not only the battle report, but he had seen that some hazy red objects on the mountain pass north of Yuanzhou Prefecture City were gradually expanding and rapidly expanding towards the direction of Yuanzhou City.

"The floating bridge was cut off, and the rest were ignored. There was a battalion of war soldiers in the prefecture city, and the baggage and auxiliary soldiers were all in the city. They were allowed to make trouble casually. I would not feel any distress when I burned all the empty villages."

Sun Kewang has been entrenched here for many years and is very clear about the terrain trend here, but Chen Wen is not as ignorant as he imagined. After the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang captured Chenzhou Prefecture City, they arrived here soon. After such a long time, the General Staff Office of the Army had already conducted a minimum survey and mapping of the surrounding hundreds of miles. If Sun Kewang could still be caught off guard, then the General Staff Office would be disbanded.

However, the gap in troops is huge. At this time, the troops that Chen Wen can use on the main battlefield will be further reduced when he is surrounded by the mountainous areas. Since this is the case, leaving a battalion of auxiliary troops and supplies to guard the city of Guardian can rest assured.

Not beyond Chen Wen's expectations, Wu Dading and Zhang Sheng took the seven thousand iron cavalry around the city of Yuanzhou and did not find any flaws. They were cavalry and there was no possibility of siege. Seeing this, they could only rush towards those floating bridges, trying to use this to cross the water and achieve a surprise attack on the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. However, when they rushed to the bank of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the floating bridge had been cut off from the west bank. Without the last solution, Wu Dading and Zhang Sheng had to burn down the camps separately, trying to use this to cause greater psychological pressure on the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The smoke rose in Yuanzhou, and there was inevitably some commotion on the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. However, since the establishment of the army, this army has been known for its strict military laws. Under the gaze of the military judges and the slaughter soldiers, the power created by the whips and sticks in the training camps and military camps was like mountains and the soldiers, so that they could not have even a slight abnormal movement. During this period, the military supervisor tried his best to comfort him, and no chaos broke out.

In contrast, the thick smoke on the other side of the water was undoubtedly a supplement and stimulation to the morale of the Qin army. The soldiers tried their best to maintain the front line, and even Sun Kewang sent out the front army as a reserve team just to replace those seriously damaged and about to collapse.

The exchange ratio showed an overwhelming disadvantage. Now it was simply because of the advantages of military strength and the last breath of Wu Dading and others to hold on until the Ming army in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang showed fatigue under the wheel battle, and was overwhelmed by fatigue and psychological pressure.

As time passed by minute by minute, the sun had already begun to slowly set. After more than two hours of battle, the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang did seem a little tired, but on the Qin army, the various fronts were already like wolf-toothed dogs, and even the minimum fronts were difficult to maintain.
