Chapter 482 The sound of cannons sounds again

8days ago Historical fiction 7
The genius is bright and the humid banks of the Li River are shrouded in fog.

Zhu Gaoxu rode a horse and crossed a floating bridge with the civil and military officials of the central army and his personal soldiers.

When he looked back, he saw the figures of countless soldiers, gradually walking through the white mist.

Countless torches became blurred in the hazy air; from a distance, they looked like floating fireflies.

There was no sound of drums and trumpets, and amid the sound of footsteps, there were gentle tinkling and clanging sounds of metals such as armor and clanging sounds. From time to time, a few coughs and horses were heard.

Zhu Gaoxu and others passed the boat bridge, which was the flat land on the south bank of the Li River, like a triangular peninsula.

The location of the Han Wangjun is located on the east side of this plain, and is the smallest corner of the triangle (that is the right side on the map).

With such a terrain, the Han Wangjun needed even fewer people on the front front.This is a small benefit for Zhu Gaoxu, who has fewer troops.

In the easternmost corner, there is a small village with some shrubs and a bamboo forest growing near the village.

To the west of the village, there are large areas of dry land with weeds and short trees, vegetables planted, and some rice fields.

But Zhu Gaoxu's central army flag is not located here, but is still in front (west).

He led a team of men and horses and horses to walk west from the road between the dry land, and soon arrived at the position of the central army.There are already many troops around, setting up formations nearby.

Zhu Gaoxu stood in place and observed for a while, and his vision was not very clear in the fog; but yesterday, he had already understood the surrounding terrain... From the Lijiang River to the peaks in the south, the front of this place is less than two miles wide.

If infantrymen stand side by side, the first row will only require seven or eight hundred people.In fact, it is far from the point of withdrawing so many people, because there are some rice fields, small ponds, etc. on the ground, so it is not advisable to arrange people.

There will be no general who will arrange the soldiers one by one.

In that case, once the front cannot hold it, it will easily squeeze back and cause the entire army to collapse; large and dense camps cannot reinforce the front.

There are different sizes between any large formation, the Hundred Houses and Thousand Generals. So this time, the first row of the front line of the Han Wang Army may be less than 500 people.

At this time, Zhao Ping and other soldiers rode their horses and followed the flag of the central army.

After the ceremony, Zhu Gaoxu asked: Where is the main force of the enemy?

Zhao Ping pointed to the west, and there was a river estuary to the west, which was the intersection of Anle River (Yulong River) and Li River.The Anleshui River is narrow and the enemy has built many boat bridges. Now they have almost crossed the Anleshui River.

Zhu Gaoxu asked again: Are the narrow valley extending east-west to the south, who have been transferred to the past?

Zhao Ping clasped his fists and said: Go back to the prince, he went there in the early morning. At the front is Yin Desheng's Qianjun.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that the name sounded a little familiar, so he casually said: I seem to have heard of this name somewhere.

Zhao Ping said: In the battle of attacking Guizhou City, Yin Desheng took the lead in climbing to the top of the city and was promoted to three levels in a row according to military orders. Now he is a full-time household.

I remembered that the general was good, brave and fearless.Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

He looked back and said seriously: We have less than 60,000 people in this battle, and at least 90,000 people against Wu Gao. But as long as you win, the bravery and good fighting of the Han King's army will surely shock the world and become famous all over the world. Everyone works hard!

The generals clasped their fists and said, "The last general is willing to drive the prince forward!"

Zhu Gaoxu also wanted to wait until his chances of winning were greater before starting the war; but in Guangxi territory, he and Wu Gao had been wandering around for so many days, and there was no way to deal with Wu Gao.

Now Wu Gao is finally willing to start a war again. Zhu Gaoxu doesn’t want to give up the opportunity anymore and is determined to seize this rare opportunity to take risks!

...It was bright, but it was cloudy.If it is sunny, it will be noon now.

The northwest wind blew a few days ago, but today it suddenly disappeared.A faint mist enveloped the earth, but there was no wind, and the fields were dull and depressed.

However, the noise around the world was getting louder and louder.

Countless people from both sides set up a large formation about a mile away, looking at each other from afar.

On the earth with a hazy vision, countless soldiers were like a sea of ​​people.

Wu Gao sat on the horse's back, looking at the scene in the east, and heard the shouts of the enemy's army one after another.

Many generals around him gathered together one after another, and Wu Gao spoke in a speech: Our royal division's troops are almost twice as powerful as the rebels. Today we will win the decisive battle. All units should invest heavily in all directions and launch a comprehensive attack on the rebels!With our superior forces, we must quickly use up all the rebels' powerful team and win or lose in this battle!

Everyone immediately glared and shouted: The Ming Dynasty's official army will win!

The generals dispersed and the battalions prepared for war.Not long after, the only ten heavy artillery pieces of the official army were transported to the front and set up artillery formations one mile away from the rebels.

When the central army drums sounded, the Hongwu cannons of the official army began to roar one after another.Lights and fires erupted in the fog, and the flashing light seemed to kick off the battle.

The two sides did not have any direct communication, but started a war directly!

No one sent a fierce general to challenge it, because the wars in this era have long been ruled. If people were sent to challenge it like the Three Kingdoms period, they would definitely be shot into a hedgehog immediately by arrows.

The stone bullets and iron balls flew from the air to the formation in front of the Han Wang Army in a terrifying whistling sound.

There was almost no need to aim, and most of the shells fell into the dense square formation of the Han Wang Army, and only a few fell into the paddy fields.

The screams in the distance were faintly heard.But the Han Wang Army's front was not shaken at all, and the shelling one mile away could not shake the rebels' team.

After the initial dozens of huge cannons, Wu Gao was immediately surprised.

Because after struggling in the mud and heavy rain for a few days, the morale and physical strength were greatly weakened, so the performance of Han Wangjun was a bit unexpected.

However, Wu Gao thought that the Han Wangjun had been fighting in the past two years. Perhaps his soldiers had experience and were not easily scared.

The government army has been marching recently, with limited heavy artillery carrying and slow loading; the war could not wait for the second round of artillery attacks.

The two square formations of a thousand-person team on the left wing of the official army were the first to advance forward.

An infantry on the north side of the rebel camp also began to advance, and the two sides began to showdown from tentative contact.

Soon, the Han Wang army stopped first, and many bowl-mouth guns fired in a volley, and the official army also facilitated the various artillery carried by the caravan.The banks of the Li River were suddenly covered with smoke, and the noisy voices were heard far away.

When the two men approached the enemy, the bows, arrows and muskets shot at each other again and again, the smoke filled the fog, and the riverside was filled with smoke.

It is cloudy today when Japan comes, and the sky looks even more hazy at this time.

The range and lethality of the muskets on both sides are not essentially different, and the accuracy is not very good.

Although the soldiers are relatively tired, they are not troops that can be defeated by just shooting fired by muskets, bows and crossbows; the real decision of the outcome also depends on the terrifying pressure of rushing face to face with swords and guns!

The left wing of the official army has been close contact!

The smoke was heavy and Wu Gao could not see the specific situation in the distance, but the generals in front could see it. At this time, a light cavalry from the left wing of the official army moved out, and the second infantry phalanx began to advance.

Seeing this, Wu Gao knew that the left-wing forward's war was unfavorable.It is precisely because of this that the generals in front of the official army will take the lead in sending the Quan Yong team behind to support.

At the foot of the mountain to the south, the right-wing infantry of the official army also began to attack, and people from all over the first front were dispatched one after another.The generals followed Wu Gao's military orders and launched a full-scale attack on the rebels!

After the first shot, less than half an hour later, the battle in Hirano became more and more intense!

There was a larger village between the two armies. At this time, a raging fire had already ignited there and houses everywhere were burning.

The black smoke rolled in the air, mixed with the smoke of guns and the mist on the ground, as if the entire earth was shrouded in dark clouds.

There is noisy on all sides.

Behind the peaks in the south, the sound of cannons also came from a valley.

In the mountains to the south, Wu Gao also deployed his troops in advance; intending to break through the rebels' defense line in the valley, and then he could encircle the rear wings of the main rebels' main force.

Without waiting for the military information on the battlefield in the south, Wu Gao heard the sound of cannons and knew that the battle behind the green mountains in the south had also broken out!

Smoke was floating between the sudden peaks, and fires on the houses on the ground were still burning.The huge noise under the sky has not stopped at all.

Wu Gao sat on the horse's back without saying a word.His gray hair was exposed from under the iron helmet, and his face under the brim of his hat had a serious expression, with calmness and calmness.

At this moment, Wu Gao, as the head commander of the official army, did not issue any military orders. He was just observing the overall situation on the battlefield.

The battlefield of more than 100,000 people on both sides extended several miles across the north and south. Wu Gao obviously could not issue specific military orders to each of his troops.

At this moment, the front-line battlefield can only rely on the generals everywhere to be responsible for tactics.

drive!Wu Gao suddenly shouted and turned around and said, "The smoke is too big, let's go to the front and take a look."

A group of guards surrounded him one after another, and the horse team left the central army and ran straight east.

Wu Gao and others passed through the distance between the large infantry formation and the cavalry team standing on the ground with horses. The more they walked eastward, the louder the sound of killing and huge noises became, which was simply deafening.

There were fighting everywhere on the earth, and the defeated people were retreating westward.The nearby generals were shouting loudly, trying to gather the dispersed soldiers again.

In the thick smoke in the air, occasionally solid bullets from the bowl-mouth gun were shot out and flew far away.The personal military general reminded Wu Gao to be careful.

On such a battlefield, there are rivers and mountains on both sides, making it difficult to flank detour.There are a large number of people on both sides, and there are enough Quanguo team to reinforce to the front line for the time being, and fierce battles are continuing everywhere.
