The flintlock can't form bullet fog, but it also dilutes the opponent's skirmishers.Within a depth of 200 meters, unless the Western Army formed a phalanx, even if the infantry rushed to the front of the formation, there would be no threat.

And as long as the opponent formed a phalanx, it became a living target for the Sichuan Army's artillery.This is a problem of the coordination of arms and formations, and there is no solution in an asymmetric war with differences in equipment.

If the Sichuan Army can increase the effective range to 500 meters, the Western Army will not be able to attack the formation.

Therefore, in later generations, the attacking side needs intensive firepower cover to suppress the opponent's firepower output, so that the attacking soldiers can quickly approach.

Zhang Kewang didn't have the means to suppress firepower, so the battle was lost from the very beginning.

"Withdraw!" Zhang Kewang immediately ordered the withdrawal of the 5000 people, whose time was cut in half for a stick of incense.He doesn't want to fight this kind of battle.With all the soldiers in his hands, Zhang Kewang would not have the strength to make a career.

Zhu Youjian stood on the artillery position, watching the battle the whole time.For such a result, he was not surprised at all, and he didn't feel very happy.

Because this kind of battle formation is purely a performance under such terrain conditions and such opponents.

If the terrain is changed, the opponent changes equipment, not to mention the outcome, there must be casualties.

Really don't think that you can be number one in the world if you shoot in a row.

Chapter 326: Unintentionally planting willows and willows into shadows

Zhang Kewang lost this battle because he did not have cavalry.

why would you say so?

If it was changed to Houjin, they should use the dragoons as cavalry, and charge with skirmishers at a depth of 200 meters, the shooting effect of the Sichuan army will be greatly reduced.

As long as Hou Jin can rush to the front of the formation and the two sides start fighting, the Sichuan army's advantage will be taken away by half.Relying on their strong fighting spirit and tenacious combat power, the Eight Banners soldiers can increase the losses of the Sichuan Army.

Even if such a battle is won, it is a tragic victory.Not worth it!

Let's take a step further, if it is the battlefield preset by Houjin, the Sichuan Army will basically have no chance of winning.And Jin's mobility just happened to give them more opportunities to pre-set the battlefield.

The defenders of the Western Army in Jiange were quickly broken through. The root cause was the emergence of traitors within the Western Army.

"It's all white-eyed wolves, a pack of wolf cubs!"

Zhang Xianzhong has been very decadent recently, depressed, unreasonably old, with gray and dull hair, and a beard on his face that is as messy as thatch.

The Daxi Army, which has been relying on the sound of the sky for a long time, has completely lost its financial resources, and can only maintain itself by robbing big households in a few prefectures and counties in northern Sichuan.

Robbery will inevitably lead to murder, and killing will naturally cause panic.Everyone in Daxi knew that Zhang Xianzhong had no money, life was difficult, and his wives were all lost.

"Long live the old man, King Pingdong brought a lot of money and food from the south, which is enough for us to support for a while." Wang Zhaoling, the prime minister of the left, has great power, especially now that there are not many civil servants, he can almost influence Zhang Xianzhong's train of thought.

Zhang Kewang retreated to Suining, and kept robbing the big households on the way to retreat, and finally gave Zhang Xianzhong a lot of money and food.In comparison, Zhang Dingguo occupies Mianzhou, because there are not many big households to grab, he seems a little incompetent.

"You're right. I also think that Kewang is a reliable child. You see, he fought with the officers and soldiers in Diaoyu City for several months, and finally preserved his strength intact. He deserves a lot of credit."

In the Battle of Diaoyu City, Zhang Kewang lost more than 1 people in total.And he replenished enough on the way back. Not only did his troops not decrease, but they also increased.

"But even so, we won't be able to last long. Old Wansui needs to make plans early, and Houjin attacks us more and more frequently." Wang Zhaoling urged Zhang Xianzhong to make an early decision. The days when people like Daxi are attacked by the North and the South It's hard, day by day is not as good as it is.

"Then find some big players to compensate us for our losses." Zhang Xianzhong said indifferently.

"Long live, there are no big families around Jinshanpu now. They are all poor people. There is no money..."

"Anyway, we can't stay in Sichuan any longer. Whether he has money or not, let's grab it first."

At this point, Zhang Xianzhong knew that he was at the end of the road in Sichuan. He could only go north if he couldn't go south. As for the others, he no longer cared about it.

"Long live the old man, how should I reply to the letter sent by Azig?" Wang Zhaoling's head was spinning rapidly, this was a retreat that made his heart beat.

Hou Jin gave Zhang Xianzhong a letter of persuasion, and basically saw Zhang Xianzhong's predicament, and the words were extremely blunt, to the effect that all the nasty things you Zhang Xianzhong did in the past were all things that harmed Daming; it has nothing to do with Hou Jin, We can let bygones be bygones.

Now you have no way out, if you can judge the situation, you can submit to me as soon as possible, and I can keep you safe and sound, and your children and grandchildren will be safe.

If you, Zhang Xianzhong, are ignorant of current affairs, when the army arrives, you will be smashed to pieces, and you will regret it.

(ps: The imperial edict said: "Zhang Xianzhong's previous disturbances were all the affairs of the Ming Dynasty", expressing his understanding, "Zhang Xianzhong, as if he had judged the time, led the people to come back, and he will be the best, and the descendants will enjoy wealth forever." And threatened Said "If you wait and see and don't surrender early, the army will arrive, and there will be no regrets.")

Seeing such a letter of persuasion to surrender, not to mention the former emperor Zhang Xianzhong, even an ordinary person would be angry when he heard it. This is not a letter of persuasion, it is completely a final announcement.

Of course Zhang Xianzhong ignored this slap in the face, and in his heart, Zhang Xianzhong was tougher.Zhang Xianzhong planned to ignite the flames of war and lead Jin to go south to fight with Daming, so that he could take the opportunity to go north and enter Guanzhong.

If you want to run, you need money and food, and you can't run on an empty stomach. This is Zhang Xianzhong's experience.Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong's new military order is to rob.

However, this time Zhang Xianzhong's order produced different consequences than before.Many generals in the Great Western Army have already doubted the future.

This thought is normal. It is easy for people to go from poor to rich, but it is difficult to go from rich to poor.After fighting for many years, those who finally become kings become kings, and those who become marquises become marquises. After a few days of good times, they will go back to beggars again. No one can figure this out.

The only one who can figure it out is Zhang Xianzhong himself. Anyway, he is a leader in everything.

Therefore, some people in the Great Western Army surrendered one after another.

Only then did Zhang Xianzhong angrily scold the whole crowd for being a bunch of white-eyed wolves.

"Give Gu a good investigation, and kill all the people found out. I don't want this group of people who eat inside and outside."

Zhang Xianzhong's new wave of purge and massacre targeted the generals within the Great West Army.This time, almost everyone in the entire army was in danger, fighting against each other in order to save their lives.

Among them, Liu Jinzhong of the Daxi Army was the most afraid, because he had secretly and formally surrendered Azig.

After hearing Zhang Xianzhong's order, Liu Jinzhong publicly said: "If you kill like this, sooner or later we will all be killed. Our lives cannot be killed so easily."

If it was an ordinary person saying this, it might be nothing, it was nothing more than making a fuss.But as a person with a certain status, every word of his reflects the meaning in his heart.

Someone reported Liu Jinzhong's words directly to Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong was not stupid, he immediately identified Liu Jinzhong as a traitor.Only when he was afraid in his heart would he care who Zhang Xianzhong would kill.

"Catch that bastard Liu Jinzhong and chop it up for me." Zhang Xianzhong roared fiercely.

"Long live the old man, calm down. Is the matter still unclear? Do you want to investigate again?" Wang Zhaoling took the opportunity to persuade Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong froze for a moment, then nodded.He felt that what Wang Zhaoling said was right, after all, too many people had been killed, and it was normal to be soft-hearted once in a while.

In a blink of an eye, Wang Zhaoling passed the news to Liu Jinzhong.When Liu Jinzhong received the news, he didn't even wait for a minute, and immediately went north to Boryeong, and led his subordinates to surrender directly to Houjin.

Liu Jinzhong's rebellion made Daxi Army very passive in an instant, because Baoning was occupied by Houjin, and the entire northern Sichuan fell.Zhang Nengqi went so far as to lead the army to fight guerrillas in northern Sichuan.

Zhang Xianzhong really didn't expect Hou Jin to be so aggressive, even more poisonous than Daming.Back then, Daming didn't use words like this to appease him, and he didn't force him too much.

Now that the situation has changed, the Great Western Army must have new countermeasures.For this reason, the Atlantis Army held a battle meeting at the end of April.Zhang Xianzhong clarified the strategy of going north to Shaanxi, and at the same time divided the Western Army into four routes, still led by four adopted sons.

However, Zhang Xianzhong's own road is in the Xichong area, which is close to the Jialing River and not on the main road. The most important thing is that it is close to Guangyuan.The most convenient and quick way to go north.

"I don't like Hou Jin's bastards the most. In terms of loyalty, he is still kind. I have surrendered several times and others have accepted it. In the end, I didn't kill him.

So, I want to go to Shaanxi and stab him in the ass of the bastard.This time, we have to make a serious breakthrough, and it is best to break into the capital to drive out the little emperor Hou Jin.
