Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

"No, they let Tie Lingli go." The soldiers of the Western Army exclaimed.

"Don't worry, rush over and get on the shelf!"

The soldiers of the Western Army were worthy of being an elite division that had gone through a hard-fought World War II. Faced with the caltrops that could hurt them, they did not give in under the command of their officers. This made the Protectorate Army somewhat eclipsed.

In the past, the Western Army was able to withstand the Xixia and Liao armies, and it was especially good at field battles and attacking cities!

At this moment, the Western Army was gaining momentum and was launching a fierce attack regardless of casualties.

The Fenyong team also charged forward, but Jin Ming's musketeers could no longer hold back. Just when the Fengyong team almost rushed to the city wall and raised the ladder, the musketeers obeyed the command;

"Ready, aim, release!"

"Free Fire!"

Jin Ming, who has experienced several close-range gunfights, has long been familiar with the use of this firearm.

He can bravely bring the enemy close to a distance of tens of meters and then use powerful firepower to suddenly open fire, catching the enemy completely by surprise.

The flames emitted by hundreds of muskets at the same time instantly caused heavy casualties to the men of the Endeavor team.

The mortar brigade placed in the city also began to line up the artillery. Although the mortars were not very accurate, they faced a flood of enemies.

A round of mortar bombardment came over, and the iron-clad shells passed through the enemy formations with scorching heat. How could those who were hit and picked up be left behind?

The huge roar of the mortars and the powerful firepower of the musketeers made the Western Army realize that this was completely different from the previous attacks.

Su Honghui couldn't help but rush out of the tent when he heard the explosion in the distance. However, the tragic scene outside made him sigh.

The Musketeers not only repelled the attack momentum of the Fengyang Team, but also kept shooting beyond the shooting range of the crossbows. The bullets penetrated the iron armor with hot warheads and easily shattered the shields that the Western Army was proud of. Then he got into the human body and vomited blood.

This is different from the gun battles of modern wars. One side has entered the all-firearms era, and the other side has no idea about it.

Qin Ming was also shocked by this style of fighting. As a fierce general who had defended the city for several days and fought hard against the Western Army, he was surprised to see the powerful firepower of the Protectorate Army. The three-dimensional firepower of the mortars, combined with the Weiyuan cannon and muskets, destroyed the city wall. The Protectorate Army is like harvesting wheat.

In an instant, in less than a moment, thousands of soldiers of the Western Army died.

The hot barrel and muzzle could no longer fire continuously.

Su Xia pulled out her sword: "General Qin Ming, it's up to you, charge!"

"I have the order." Qin Ming had a place to show off his skills again. He immediately organized the army waiting for work to cooperate with the reinforcements, opened the city gate, and rushed over with a roar.

One can sweep away ten, and ten can sweep away a hundred.

The Western Army retreated, and the huge casualties suffered by the Fengyong Team turned into a shadow. Outside Daming Mansion, Lin Chong's cavalry division had also completed the outflanking of Su Honghui's troops, and launched a close-range kill with the Western Army's cavalry.

But the flying general of Dragon City is here.

Lin Chong's cavalry troops were large in number. According to Su Xia's battle command, his cavalry had to rely on the rapid impact of the Jingdong Road horses to break the Western Army's defensive formation.

Under the telescope, Su Xia, who observed the billowing dust and smoke in the distance, understood that it was Lin Chong's cavalry brigade that launched the attack.

The [-]-strong army was suddenly in disarray, and Su Xia and Zong Ze on the city wall were a little excited. This can be regarded as a classic example of using the weak to attack the strong.

Just when several people were getting excited, a scout on the side hurried over to report:

"Sir, what's wrong, the 15 elite Western Army is attacking along the road and will reach the front line in less than two days!"

"Zhong Shixiong is here!" Zongze blurted out.

Su Xia was also a little panicked. Lin Chong's cavalry only numbered 8000. The Western Army's 15 troops, even if everyone stepped on them, Lin Chong's cavalry would probably be invincible.

Tomorrow, Zhao Wenhui's Guards Division will arrive at Damingfu, but Zhao Wenhui's Guards Division only has more than [-] people. Although it is fully staffed and equipped with a large number of powerful artillery, its mobile combat strength is not enough. If they are not strong, they may not be able to repel more than [-] Western troops by storming the enemy.

Lin Chong's cavalry division will have to deal with an army of more than [-] people, and it may be a disaster.

The [-]-strong main force of the cavalry division is only good at attacking, but not good at holding on to combat. Once there is a shortage of food and grass, the cavalry will be encircled and suppressed by heavy-armed troops. Even if they attack desperately, I am afraid...

Su Xia didn't dare to think about it anymore. He immediately ordered: "Organize a messenger unit and be sure to send it to Lin Chong's cavalry division and let them retreat quickly."

At this moment, although one of Qin Ming's divisions attacked fiercely, it did not have the upper hand in strength. Although the Western Army, which was severely weakened, suffered heavy losses and lost its baggage, it retreated dozens of miles to meet the National Defense Army and quickly gained a foothold and fought. Very brave.

Lin Chong was completely unaware.

Jumping in and out, the cavalry's attack was fierce.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, the 1 cavalry troops riding Jingdong Road horses were invincible in the short-distance charge, killing the Western army in a daze.

It wasn't until the next day that the main force of the Western Army Shixiong was engaged along the west coast.

Lin Chong had no idea about this. He thought there were still [-] enemy troops until he saw the big Chinese characters under the flag.

The two armies faced each other. Lin Chong raised his eight-foot-long snake spear and looked at the army on the opposite side, feeling somewhat transformed in his heart.

Even though he was the instructor of the 80-strong Forbidden Army, even though he had all kinds of martial arts skills, in the wild scene, he saw clearly, and he understood that the troops in front of him were definitely not the ones he saw yesterday.

Damn, he fell into the trap, but by this time, he had absolutely no way out and could only keep moving forward.

He raised his spear and continued to charge. The Western Army, which was facing the enemy head-on, had long wanted to annihilate the main force of the Western Army.

Su Honghui led [-] to [-] Western troops to desperately block the National Defense Army.

The offensive quickly turned into encirclement and reinforcements.

The Lin Chong Cavalry Division, a mobile combat force that Su Xia relied on in the past, with more than 15 men, was surrounded by [-] Western troops.

As for the frontal assault, only Qin Ming's troops that had been disabled, Jin Ming's troops of the Musket Army, and other directly affiliated troops did not have an advantage in strength.

Su Xia had only one way to rescue them as much as possible, so Zhao Wenhui's Guards Division led the army to attack desperately and tried to join forces. However, Zhong Shixiong did not give it in vain. He directly sent another wave of [-] troops to block it, and he personally led an army of [-] troops. Encirclement and suppression of Linchong Cavalry Brigade.

Under the rain of arrows and a large number of infantry attacks, the cavalry troops suffered heavy losses. Because Lin Chong's cavalry division could not get supplies, it had to charge in other directions. In less than two days, it lost 5000 people. Faced with a large number of enemy charges, Lin Chong They could only lead people to occupy one hillside. Relying on the advantage of the terrain, they all switched from cavalry to infantry and stood still waiting for reinforcements.
