Li Yan on the side finally sighed and offered advice in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the Qin army is divided into three. The train camp shows its might, but the most important thing is the train camp. Once the train camp is broken, the Qin army will naturally be destroyed."
"Cavalry?" Li Zicheng murmured.
Although Li Zicheng only had one eye, he could see clearly that the Ming army at this time indeed only had the train battalion in charge.
"Come here!" Li Zicheng ordered without hesitation: "The forward cavalry formed three teams, each with 800 people, and launched a series of attacks on the Ming army."
Compared with the Ming army, the number of cavalry in the Shun army was reduced, but after traveling thousands of miles from north to south, the cavalry was elite and tough, and they were not afraid of death.
After hearing the order, the cavalry immediately began to attack in turn.
Wave after wave of tireless charges exhausted the train battalion, and the pace of retreat came to a standstill in an instant.
Seeing this, Sun Chuanting frowned: "The intruder actually held up the train camp."
"Then what should we do?" Chen Yongfu was shocked.
"Supervisor, we can only concentrate our firepower and rush out a bloody path." Bai Guangen said solemnly.
"You mean?"
"There are still more than twenty French cannons in the army, all weighing more than a hundred kilograms. They are facing in the same direction at the same time. There will definitely be a gap in the rebel army, and then they can rush out."
"Okay!" Sun Chuanting nodded. Seeing the artillery being withdrawn one after another, he couldn't help but sigh: "These should have been cast by Zhu Jingming!"
"That's right!" Bai Guang'en said in a deep voice, and said somewhat luckily: "These artillery pieces are lighter, more powerful, and they don't explode. They are really good."
Sun Chuanting nodded.
It seems that Zhu Jingming is a great craftsman!
Chen Yongfu thought.
"Rumble--"
Dozens of French cannons were fired at once, and the cavalry, who were fearless in death, were instantly overturned. The horses were frightened by the huge sound.
Obviously, they haven't adapted yet.
"Take advantage of this opportunity to rush——"
Sun Chuanting rode on his horse and shouted.
"Kill——" The chariot rushed forward first, followed immediately by the Yu army, and everyone rushed away without hesitation.
When Li Zicheng saw that the cavalry was about to destroy the train camp, he was suddenly startled by the array of artillery, and the attack was instantly blocked.
Then, like a tide, the Qin army quickly broke out of the encirclement and headed southwest.
"He actually rushed out."
Li Zicheng exclaimed.
"It's definitely not Ruzhou or Xiangcheng."
Li Yan touched his chin, thought about it again and again, and said in surprise: "He is going to Nanyang."
"Nanyang?" Li Zicheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "They can't escape, Nanyang is also a dead place."
"I will not give up if I can't get Sun Chuanting's head after chasing him——"
In an instant, the large-scale surrender army gathered up with great difficulty and slowly pursued them again.
Li Zicheng led the main force and pressed forward step by step.
From Jiaxian to Baofeng, the Shun army was in hot pursuit, while the Qin army was desperately trying to escape. It was very lively as you chased after me.
Arriving in Nanyang, Sun Chuanting and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Here, they met the Qin army who was going to Tanghe. Now that they met together, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, before they could repair for half a day, Li Zicheng's 100,000 main force had arrived and was about to surround Nanyang City.
"I don't know how many people Gao Jie and Niu Chenghu evacuated."
Sun Chuanting thought with some frustration, Li Zicheng was focused on pursuing him, and the other two groups of soldiers might have withdrawn to Tongguan!
"Intruder——"
Sun Chuanting gritted his teeth and said angrily: "How could it be like this if it hadn't been raining continuously and the grain road was blocked?"
Immediately, the Qin army, which had been repairing for half a day, headed north again. While there was still a gap, it could not wait to return north.
Li Zicheng was also shocked by this operation. Isn't this equivalent to a frontal breakthrough?
"well!!"
Li Zicheng clapped his hands and laughed: "As expected of Governor Sun, I want to see how you, with 40,000 to 50,000 people, can escape back."
Immediately, the Shun army pursued again and used tactics of attrition.
That is, the whole army is divided into five layers, with the hungry people outside, the infantry next, the cavalry next, and the brave cavalry next.
The entrance to Laoying's home is at the very back.
However, Qin Jun could only break through the first three floors with all his strength, and he was already hoarse from exhaustion and wasted all his energy.
After all, I have been tired for many days and lacked food and grass.
Seeing this opportunity, the thief cavalry once again used the triple charge tactic. After a long time, they finally found an opportunity to break the train formation.
As a last resort, all the chariots were pushed down to form a wall, which temporarily gave the Qin army a chance to breathe.
However, within a short while, the Shun army used all its troops, about three hundred thousand men, to pursue them, chasing them for four hundred miles day and night.
The Qin army was defeated and lost its weapons and hundreds of thousands of baggage items.
…
And in Tongguan.
Zhu Yixi took turns training infantry and musketeers.
Four thousand miners, two thousand spearmen, fifteen hundred shield bearers, and five hundred grenadiers.
Zai Longshouyuan Mine has already proven the power of grenades. Naturally, under his auspices, this powerful melee weapon was mass-produced by the craftsman camp.
The grenadiers are equivalent to secret weapons, and the ones they use are all burly men.
"cast--"
Five hundred grenadiers lit the fuses, waved their arms, and threw them forward with all their strength, most of them more than ten feet away, and then exploded with a "boom".
Only one grenade reached a full height of fifteen feet, a distance of forty to fifty meters, which was a long way ahead.
"Okay!" Zhu Yixi couldn't help but clapped her hands when she saw this live-fire exercise: "The National Super League is indeed a big eater, and it can throw grenades far."
"hey-hey!"
Yan Guochao raised his chest proudly and said, "Inspector, I haven't eaten enough. If I had eaten, I could have thrown it farther."
"Hahaha!" Zhu Yixi laughed and was about to pat him on the shoulder. He was so skilled that he could only hit his arm and praised:
"It seems that you are suitable for this line of work, so from today on, you will be in charge of the grenadiers and serve as the commander-in-chief!"
"Don't worry, Inspector. If anyone disobeys, I will cut him. If he can't throw it away, there will be no food to eat."
Yan Guochao said with a serious face, but his face turned red, obviously he was extremely excited.
Zhu Yixi nodded: "You continue to practice. Not only must your throw be far, but you must also be accurate, and you must be calm and unafraid."
After letting them practice on their own, Zhu Yixi turned his head again and looked at the spearman and shieldman on the other side.
The instructors who trained them were borrowed from Li Jizu. This kind of traditional project is still better for the army.
The shield-bearer wearing armor is majestic, and the spear-bearer has steady steps.
Sure enough, the miners were indeed the best source of soldiers. In just one month, they began to take shape.
As for his two thousand musketeers, while he was in control of the craftsman camp, they naturally practiced day and night in actual combat exercises. Both their operation and accuracy were greatly increased.
Relying on the big tree of Qin Jun, you can eat and drink without worries. If you just rely on your own blood transfusions, where can you get so much gunpowder?
He was a little reluctant to part with it, not to mention that there was no official channel to buy it.
