Zhou Benyuan is certainly willing to get the Ming army’s new firearm back and take a look.

But the problem is that this is a bit too difficult.

"General, is this too dangerous?"

Zhou Benyuan was very worried.

Wang Yan looked at Zhou Benyuan.

"Apart from that, do you have any other solutions? If you have a better solution, I will change my plan immediately."

Zhou Benyuan lowered his head and stopped talking.

He has no choice...

So I could only accept Wang Yan's action plan.

Wang Yan might also feel the huge threat and cheer himself up.

"I remember that Monk Yuan fought against the Golden Thieves, and I was also full of crises. No one believed that we could win, but we won, blocked the Golden Thieves, and killed them and lost!

After that, I will know that the Jin thieves are also humans. When people are killed, they will die. As long as they have the courage to attack, the Jin thieves are nothing scary. Similarly, the Ming army may not be that scary either!”

Wang Yan made up his mind to recreate Wu Jie's glorious journey in the Sichuan-Shu War Zone and make the Ming army pay the price.

Zhou Benyuan could not stop him, so he could only obey his orders.

So the two selected two thousand elite soldiers without night blindness from the city, and asked them to eat meat and eat dry food, go to bed after eating, maintain their strength, and wait for everyone to sneak out of the city while they were sleeping soundly in the second half of the night to attack the Ming army.

They carried fire-induced objects and some loud firearms, trying to create large-scale noise and fire in the dark, so as to create the illusion of a large army's raid and forcing the Ming army to bomb the camp.

They naturally believed that the bombing camp was their own life gate, and it would also be the Ming army's life gate. The bombing camp would allow both the Ming army and the Ming army to undergo a cruel test together.

So the target of the night attack was to let the Ming army bomb the camp!

In order to prevent the Ming army from discovering it, they did not even open the city gate and used slings to put the night attack team down the city tower and let them gather under the city.

They divided into four combat battalions, selected four brave officers as their commanders, and the troops advanced in all four directions, and rushed towards the direction where the Ming army camp was.

Wang Yan and Zhou Benyuan prayed for the night attack troops on the city tower, praying to God, hoping that God would bless them to win a complete victory.

But God obviously ignored them, or in other words, there was no God at all.

The sudden light of fire in the direction of the sneak attack broke their hopes into slag.

The Ming army was prepared for a long time.

Zhang Yuejing adopted Xu Tong's opinion, believing that Wang Yan would not sit and wait for death and would definitely take action, so he prepared crossbowmen, musketeers and hand-to-hand combat troops in advance to prepare for them to come together.

When the Song army's night attack troops touched the edge of the Ming army's front-line camp, they were about to launch a strike, but the Ming army took the lead, causing the Song army's night attack troops to be hit like a sudden thunder and rain.

The musketeers and crossbowmen had been prepared for a long time to launch together, catching the Song army's night attack troops off guard and killed a large number of them. Then the hand-to-hand combat troops rushed out and shouted neat slogans to divide and surround the Song army at night attacks and defeat them one by one.

The Song army fell into the encirclement of the Ming army for two thousand nights. None of them ran away and were all annihilated by the Ming army. Only a small number of them surrendered in time, were captured alive, and not killed.

The Song army's night attack failed.

Looking at the fire and the faint shouting of killing on the city wall, Wang Yan and Zhou Benyuan felt a chill in his heart.

The night attack failed, and the Ming army was prepared for the night attack. They were not blinded by victory and were already on guard against their night attack.

These two thousand soldiers are destined to go but never return.

After this wave, the possibility of a successful night attack will become extremely low, and it can even be said to be useless.

Wang Yan held the city wall with both hands and felt a great panic, but at this moment, he had no choice.

How should we face these powerful enemies?

How should we face this group of enemies who are not only powerful but also new weapons?

He was at a loss.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuejing had no similar worries at all.

"The night attack so quickly shows that Wang Yan is indeed not a simple enemy, but the night attack so quickly shows that he really has no other way, and he is very anxious. He is afraid that we will soon be under Fancheng. Humph, he is just like that."

Xu Tong listened to Zhang Yuejing's words on the side, feeling that what Zhang Yuejing said made sense, but it was also quite Versailles.

Who knew that the Ming army was equipped with powerful weapons such as artillery?

This kind of weapon has never appeared in previous history, and no one has the ability to deal with this kind of weapon. All existing defense facilities are not made of this pair of weapons, so once this weapon goes to the battlefield, it is obviously a random kill.

Give them some time, maybe they can find a way to deal with it, but the current situation has completely limited their ability to move. It seems that they really have no better way to deal with artillery.

The results of this battle have been confirmed.

What remains depends on how many troops the Southern Song Dynasty court would send to support the two cities of Xiangfan, and how many main forces of the Ming army could capture and completely annihilate them.

Speaking of which, Xu Tong knew that this war was not initiated by Su Yonglin, and even the imperial court should not have such a plan before, but because Zhao Yucheng did not want to continue being encircled and suppressed, he wanted to fight before the fourth encirclement of the Song court.

It is not Zhao Yucheng's style that always gets beaten, but once this battle situation that affects the whole body starts, the Ming Dynasty will obviously not be able to keep itself alone. Seizing this opportunity, Su Yonglin directly made a plan to expand the battle and turned a counterattack against encirclement and suppression into a strategic decisive battle.

Su Yonglin's work is really big, his determination is really big, and he is very decisive.

Of course, the emergence of artillery is probably also the reason why Su Yonglin decided to launch the battle in Xiangfan.

Xu Tong had never thought that artillery could play such a huge role in the battle situation. Now it seems that with the emergence of artillery and muskets, the entire form of war will change.

Xu Tong keenly noticed how lethal the artillery has to the current dense military formation.

Even if the layers of infantry are covered with large shields, they cannot stop the bombardment of a shell. Whenever a dense military formation is hit by a shell, just one shot can cause extremely huge casualties and directly destroy a military formation.

If they can still withstand and have not been eliminated, then the next infantry battle will be the Ming army and the musketeers.

Xu Tong looked at what the musket was in the past two days. After trying it, he found that the musket was actually a small single-soldier cannon. As long as it was hit, it was not something that humans could stop it.

A soldier with a shield, even if he can block the shooting of lead bullets, he may have a broken wrist due to huge kinetic energy and fall down directly and cannot continue fighting.

This is very scary.

So when the war comes, the intensive army collapses immediately. How can I fight this battle?

The current military combat mode is facing a very urgent need for change.

Xu Tong discussed his thoughts with Zhang Yuejing, and Zhang Yuejing immediately looked at Xu Tong with a more surprised look.

"Is this what you think?"

Xu Tong nodded.

"Well, once muskets and artillery are popular, the combat mode of the army must change. The original military attack cannot be persisted for a long time in the presence of artillery, and must be changed. This change, the original tactics of cooperation between the various armies must also be changed together.

Some troops may no longer be needed from now on, and some troops will occupy a huge amount of weight. We don’t have to worry too much at the moment, because the enemy does not have the same equipment, but one day the enemy also has similar equipment, we have to reform. Instead of being forced to change, it’s better to change it yourself!"
