It was less than a year ago that Zhang Shuye led an army of 100,000 people and was killed by a bomb in Liangshan.

Lessons from the past are not far away.

Yao Pingzhong is not stupid. He is just being polite. He really doesn't want to be this commander.

It's a pity that Zhongshi Dao is so cunning that he just goes with the flow and leaves the decisive battle to Yao Pingzhong.

This is a bit like riding a tiger with difficulty!

Yao Pingzhong, who had never led an army in a decisive battle, bit the bullet and began to arrange his troops.

the other side.

Liangshan had already set up the formation according to the original plan.

"Get on the cannon!"

Following Su Mingzhe's order, eighty general cannons lined up in a row, revealing a dark hole.

Ever since the battle in Qingzhou last year, Su Mingzhe knew that if there was another decisive battle with the imperial court, the imperial court would definitely be on guard against Landreish.

Therefore, in this decisive battle, Su Mingzhe pulled out all the general cannons from the bottom of the box.

In September last year, Liangshan only had thirty general cannons.

In the past six months or so, Liangshan has been working overtime to make it, and finally managed to get eighty of them together before the decisive battle.

now.

More than 300,000 troops from both sides were distributed on the border between Jeju and Puju.

In addition, there are tens of thousands of navy troops confronting each other at the Liangshan River.

War is about to break out.

"Aim 1,200 steps ahead and light the fire!"

When Su Mingzhe saw that the imperial army was also in position, he raised his hand and gave the order to start the battle!

The gunners of the eighty general cannons quickly adjusted the angle, then held up the torch and lit the fuse.

Yao Pingzhong, who was about to order an attack, suddenly felt something in his heart and looked forward.

Beng Beng Beng——

The sound of landslides and earth cracks resounded on the battlefield of the decisive battle.

In full view of everyone, eighty artillery shells fell into the Western Army's formation, blooming instantly.

Due to the density, every shell fired this time took away more than a dozen veterans of the Western Army.

Nearly a thousand Western troops settled the matter.

"Attack! Attack!"

Yao Pingzhong was so frightened that Liangshan's "stone cannon" was so powerful that it could hit a thousand steps away. He quickly commanded the army to attack.

The sound of artillery fire continued to ring in the sky.

One thousand two hundred steps!

A thousand steps!

Eight hundred steps!

Six hundred steps!

Four hundred steps!

Yao Pingzhong hated for the first time why the two sides had to keep such a long distance apart during the battle.

The distance of more than a thousand steps allowed the Liangshan cannon to fire more than thirty times.

Nearly 3,000 rounds of artillery shells were all "explosive shells", which cost the Western Army at least 20,000 casualties.

"The damned general will be the prisoner!"

"Why does Liangshan have such powerful cannons, but the imperial court does not?"

Seeing that there were only two hundred steps left from Liangshan, Yao Pingzhong secretly rejoiced:

"Fortunately, even if there are only 40,000 people left in the Western Army, they can still suppress the Liangshan bandits and tear them into pieces!"

the other side.

Su Mingzhe, who was in charge of commanding the army, also noticed that the distance between the two sides was getting closer. He waved his hand and ordered again:

"The musketeers line up! Three stages of free fire!"

Bang bang bang——

The three thousand poles 'Made in Hanyang' exerted a lethality beyond imagination under the intensive charge of ancient military formations.

In just two hundred steps and three stages of free fire, at least 30,000 rounds of ammunition were fired.

These 30,000 rounds of bullets caused at least more than 10,000 casualties to the Western Army.

Before the 60,000-strong Western Army even reached Liangshan, the battle loss rate exceeded 50%.

The so-called military formation has been completely destroyed.

Seeing the Western Army still attacking the Liangshan position fearlessly, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but admire:

"The Western Army is worthy of being the first army of the imperial court!"

"Even if you lose 50%, you still have nothing to fear!"

"There is no better army in the world than anyone else!"

When Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Huang Xin and other generals heard Su Mingzhe's praise of the Western Army, they all stroked their beards to express their approval.

Only Luan Tingyu and Sun Li were standing next to them. After the two brothers looked at each other, they secretly complained in unison:

"The leader of my village is so interesting. He boasted that the Western Army of the imperial court was the best in the world, and yet he easily made the number one in the world look like this. Doesn't it mean that he is even more powerful than the number one in the world? ?”

"kill!"

Seeing that the Western Army was approaching the Liangshan position, Su Mingzhe immediately raised his spear and took the lead, rushing towards the enemy general.

More than a dozen generals, including Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Luan Tingyu and Sun Li, quickly followed.

When one party waits for work with ease, morale will be greatly boosted.

The energy and spirit of one party are on the verge of collapse.

As soon as the two sides made an impact, the Western Army collapsed instantly.

As soon as the Western Army collapsed, the Forbidden Army and Xiang soldiers beside them lost all thought. Some surrendered and some fled.

Three hours later.

The Liangshan army pursued them all the way to the outside of Puzhou City.

Seeing that Zhongshidao was strictly guarded, a defensive line was set up outside the city.

Seeing that the opponent's defense line was impeccable, Su Mingzhe could only order the army to stop and stop the expansion of the victory.

After returning to Yuncheng.

Wu Yong and others cleaned the battlefield and compiled statistics.

In this decisive battle, more than 40,000 Western troops were wiped out, and 3,000 Western troops, 30,000 Xiang soldiers, and 20,000 Imperial troops were captured.

However, the Xiang soldiers and the imperial troops trampled on each other, causing countless casualties.

"Too few prisoners!"

Su Mingzhe saw that the other party had an army of 200,000 people, so he captured more than 50,000 people and ran away with 100,000 people.

Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, Hua Rong, Shi Xiu and Zhu Gui, who were responsible for dealing with the Xiang soldiers and the Imperial Army, heard this and quickly stood up to plead guilty.

My dear, there will be more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue, there will be more exciting things to come!

It was Wu Yong who stood up and helped the five people explain:

"Lord, the Western Army collapsed too quickly. When the Western Army saw the Western Army collapse, the soldiers and the Forbidden Army collapsed. They did not contact our army at all and ran away. Brother Tiha and the others were able to capture more than 50,000 people. They have tried their best. !”

"That's it!"

Su Mingzhe waved his hand and motioned for the five people to stand up.

Now, the imperial court's main force, the Western Army, has been completely lost. Only about 100,000 Xiang soldiers and forbidden troops are left. They will definitely be huddled in the city wall and dare not come out.

Su Mingzhe immediately arranged for the leaders to arrange for the prisoners as soon as possible and recruit and surrender as much as possible.

This decisive battle also exposed the weakness of Liangshan's foundation.

Tens of thousands of troops, led by Lu Zhishen and others, were unable to even pursue the deserters.

Isn’t this holding yourself back?

From now on, I will conduct a long-distance training every month.

Three days later.
