More elite than before.

Can the Chinese army still win?

Just say...

Can it be stopped?

Guo Jia and Lu Su are already completely confident.

Xu Ding was also worried.

But at this time, he could not take the lead in deflation and immediately said: "No matter how strong the enemy is, we must fight bravely. Because this is something we cannot avoid."

“Besides….”

"Who is stronger and who is weaker will only know after fighting!"

"Two gentlemen, don't forget that we didn't even have equipment before, but we won one after another and destroyed tens of thousands of enemy troops. Now we have equipment in hand, although we can't compare with the enemy, it's better than that time, right?"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. We cannot be confident of being a sacrifice."

"Um."

Lu Su nodded as well.

He checked the map and said to the messenger beside him: "Suppose the 11th Division, the 12th Division, and the 13th Division to hold their positions and consolidate the defense line. The 14th Division advances 1,500 meters and leads the mountains ahead. The 15th Division is on standby. The artillery regiment is quickly set up and waits for the enemy to enter the range and attack first. All cavalry go around the east side..."

Lu Su issued a series of orders.

All of this is to defend the line of defense.

Guo Jia didn't talk to each other.

Xu Ding slowly sat aside and kept using the satellite monitoring system to check the enemy's movements.

.........

Half an hour later.

Everything is ready.

Xu Ding suddenly saw thirty artillery dragged out from thirty military vehicles.

They are very large in size and have large muzzle diameters.

This is definitely not an ordinary cannon.

Xu Ding slowly stood up and said, "Zijing, the troops on the front line are all hiding in the cave. Wait until the enemy's cannon sound stops before attacking."

"Your Majesty, I have just ordered to attack the whole line, why......"

“Do what I said.”

"yes."

Lu Su didn't quite understand that the enemy was about to come, so why didn't he make arrangements in advance? Although his arrangements were also lacking, it was better than standing by on standby.

"As your Majesty's instructions..." Lu Su said to the messenger beside him.

"Affect the order."

The troops on the front line were being transferred to the high ground outside the trenches. The artillery of the First Army was also advancing forward, attempting to cause heavy damage to the enemy.

but...

They had just left and had not reached the designated location, but received another order from Lu Su to let them go into the cave to hide.

It is necessary to give some advice.

The hole was dug by Xu Dingran.

It was built based on the combat method of Lu Xun of Qiao County. It can not only avoid enemy artillery fire, but also hide its troops and launch an attack at the appropriate time.

Can have unexpected results.

"Your Majesty has orders, so you can hide in the cave..." Several regiment leaders shouted in front of them.

If soldiers can enter the hole, they can enter the hole. If they cannot enter the hole, they also look for cover.

Ten minutes later.

The enemy began dozens of rounds of bombing.

Not only were there thirty super-large cannons, but more than 200 mountain cannons, cooperating with bombardment.

Greatly enhanced power.

Boom boom boom boom...

Countless artillery fired from the opposite side.

The range of radius of kilometers is covered.

Round after round...

Xu Ding saw from the command post behind that a sea of ​​fireworks was plunged into the front. Stones, trees, and soil were all blown up and flew into the sky.

Guo Jia and Lu Su both took a breath.

Lu Su said: "Fortunately, Your Majesty asked the soldiers to hide in the cave, otherwise we would definitely suffer heavy losses in this way."

"Yes. I didn't expect that the enemy's artillery would have such power. We have been bombarded with the enemy before, but never could cover the entire battlefield." Guo Jia said.

"This battle is not easy to fight..."

Xu Ding really wants to give them confidence.

But facts do not allow it.

The enemy's artillery fire was too strong, which was beyond his imagination.

The front-line troops were probably injured more than half before they even entered the battle.

Boom boom boom boom...

The sound of cannons continued.

It lasted for two quarters of an hour.

Looking out of the command post, you can no longer see the battlefield ahead.

A radius of 1,000 meters was covered with beacon and fog.

And at this time.

The enemy is not idle either.

They had two brigades of troops and advanced five hundred meters forward. They were already very close to Lu Su's frontier position. As long as the cannon stopped, they could rush over in the shortest time.

Xu Ding has a satellite monitoring system and can clearly see all this.

He immediately said to Lu Su: "I ordered our cavalry to draw about 3,000 or so and advance 1,500 meters to the southwest. Stand by behind the mountain. As long as the cannon sound stops, attack the southwest and repel the enemy's attacking troops. At the same time, let the brigades in front step up their defense. Be sure to complete three lines of defense before the cavalry troops retreat. And prepare artillery and let the enemy taste the power of our artillery."

"yes."

Xu Ding's tactical command ability is by no means a futile reputation.

In the past, when he fought with the princes and the Huns in the north, he had many strategies and commands as if he were determined. Now, when fighting with the Western Shang Empire, he is not at a disadvantage.

Following Xu Ding's command, I felt that everything was under control.

Not long after.

The cannon sound stopped.

As Xu Ding expected, the two brigades on the front line rushed over as fast as possible.

Their intention was very obvious, and they wanted to take down the frontier positions with lightning speed.

but...

They are infantrymen, and no matter how fast they are, they are not as fast as cavalrymen.

Xu Ding had mobilized three thousand cavalry and was on standby behind the mountain. After the sound of cannons stopped, they all rushed over and collided with the two enemy brigades.

At such a close distance, they didn't even have time to retreat.

There is no way to form a defense line to fight back.

Faced with the attacks and killings of the cavalry, they retreated step by step.

Puff puff puff...

Cavalry is best at fighting in melee, rushing into enemy formations, and attacking quickly and ruthlessly.

The enemy has no chance to even get a bayonet.

He didn't dare to fire a gun, for fear of hurting his own people.

When the cavalry rushed over, they were completely waiting for death.

"Ahh..." The soldiers fell into pools of blood.

The troops of two brigades held half a stick of incense and were killed completely.
To be continued...
