Pan Gongji did not expect, no expectation.

If he had a fight in normal times, he would have considered the surrounding terrain in a comprehensive way, but this battle was not a dignified formation for him, he was attacking.

Although he didn't know why Ruan Juan set up a formation at the foot of the North Mountain in the heavy fog, whether the Ming army would enter the battlefield, but for him this was a sudden attack, without a letter of war or a appointment.

The Southern Dynasty never put its hope of victory on the illusory Ming army. It would be better for them to join the battlefield, even false news would be fine.

It’s not that they didn’t have the power to fight Ruan Juan, but that the West was surrounded and their morale was depressed.

But when the roar of a war elephant came from behind, eight huge war elephants with their fangs and wrapped thousands of soldiers out of the valley on the left wing, Pan Gongji wanted to withdraw his troops at that time!

"Don't look back, the enemy's front attack!"

No matter how Pan Gongji shouted, the messenger broke his leg and the generals waved his hand. No one could stop his subordinates' panic. Seeing that the decline was about to be irreversible, Pan Gongji ordered: "Please ask Lai Shiqing, the chief general of the left wing, to lead his troops to fight the enemy in the rear, and to resist Ruan Juan, fight and retreat to the east!"

Pan Gongji had only one idea, and he could not let the war elephant break into his formation.

The battle elephant is not a cavalry, it is thick-skinned and thick-skinned. A 100-man infantry spearman and crossbowman rely on the right geography and some good luck may be able to block the impact of a 100-man infantry team. But a 100-man infantry may not be able to block a battle elephant.

Because the battle elephant phalanx is never just an elephant, but one elephant is a square array, ranging from seven people to more than ten, and they are both invincible in both offense and defense.

When the battle elephant phalanx appears on the battlefield and there is no need to fight with the enemy at all, the enemy will be about to collapse.

In the past, Pan Gongji often enjoyed such results, but today such results also came to him.

"General, the enemy has attacked, attacked!"

The commander's horse was frightened when he passed by the elephant in the formation and overturned the rider to the ground. The soldiers covered their broken arms and screamed. Pan Gongji looked ahead to the formation, and there were shouts from the enemy formation on the endless plains. The sound of spears and shields shaking even made the land under his feet tremble.

Apart a thousand steps apart, twenty cannons placed on wooden frames were moved to the front of the formation, with wooden blocks on the muzzle, and fired volleys in front of the formation from four directions, followed by the sound of overwhelming footsteps coming from the front.

Amid the whine of a war elephant that was so close that it was broken by a shell and Ruan Juan attacked.

Only a thousand steps apart, Ruan Juan attacked forward and backward like fire, but was as thin as the command, but he fought steadily. The front and back units did not fight. Thousands of soldiers in the rear were running wildly with the battle elephant, and the main force of the front army was steadily advancing, and even took hundreds of steps and stopped.

Their artillery is reloading.

"Master, there is still one mile left, let's take the fight in a moment!"

On the hillside of the north mountain, the flag army shouted loudly to the Chen Mu army formation at the foot of the mountain. Chen Mu, who was in the army formation, could no longer see the grand situation on the battlefield. He put on his head and sent an order to the horse and ordered the soldiers: "Before our army gets up, three cannons will be set off. After the enemy charges at us, the three cannons will be set off."

Chen Mu pulled the reins and looked at the valley behind him. The time team should have discovered the reality of the camp in Ruan Juen Valley. Before Zhang Shijue returned, he could only advance but not retreat in this battle.

He raised his arm and waved it forward, saying, "Come on the banner, yell, and move forward!"

A drum was roaring, and the suona at the mouth of the Beishan Valley was blowing loudly. The boundless celestial of the Celestial Dynasty stood up at the mouth of the valley, and the inlaid dragon pendant flag was waving left and right, and a military formation that was completely different from the soldiers of the Annan and Southern and Northern Dynasties emerged one after another.

As soon as he left the valley, he set up a formation. Baihu, a baggage soldier carrying long signs and large shields, led his team to move forward quickly. The remaining teams led the phalanx to advance steadily, moving straight to Ruan Juan's left wing.

Only two miles apart were there. At first, Ruan Juan's band kept playing drums and music until six or seven hundred steps apart. Someone discovered the army that suddenly struck behind him, which immediately caused great chaos to Ruan Juan's left wing.

When Ruan Juan, as a general, received the news, turned around and saw that the army with distinctive flags and armor had already broken through three hundred steps behind its left wing formation.

The left-wing rear army with unknown enemies could only barely set up a small array to block the enemy. The crossbow and gun soldiers were all transferred to the front. What was left behind were suicide soldiers who were ready to attack after the enemy was in chaos. They had no armor and held short-soldiers. Even if they were lined up, what deterrent power would it have?

It is not as good as those riders who sway at the back formation with short spears and long swords.

"I only have more than a thousand, no matter where they are, the horse team will defeat them!"

Just as Ruan Juan gave the order, a muffled sound rang in front of Chen Mu's army.

Hundreds of big cards were suddenly in front of the formation, and one by one was supported by the baggage soldiers and the two baggage soldiers shouted loudly, and two hundred baggage soldiers retreated, and the flag army behind them followed closely.

On the northern mountain, General Sanmen Zhenshuo's artillery exploded, and the shells roared and roared at the rear of Ruan Juan's left wing. The shells landed at all directions avoided each other, followed by several bouncing and plowing out several gaps.

The cannon firing point is too high, and the power of the iron bouncing is far less than Chen Mu imagined, but it doesn't matter.

He stood behind the formation, and several teams of flag soldiers ran forward with guns beside him. He released the reins and pointed to both sides, and a shout came from behind him.

"Hurry up, the artillery team goes forward!"

General Thirty-Sanmen Zhenshuo on the mountain was his family's artillery team. There were four hundred artillery households on the battlefield, and each general's banner in front of the formation also had a small artillery flag.

This is the firepower of the Nanyang Army Office of the Ming Dynasty?

Twenty pack horses with the same mount as Ruan Juan's cavalry mounts dragged ten two-pound cannons and ran quickly. After a long sign gap in front of the formation, the artillery carts were removed. Each of them had hundreds of artillery households and ordered them to launch artillery bombardment at the enemy's formation three hundred steps apart.

"Enemy cavalry!"

In the rear of Ruan Juan's central army, several horse teams rushed towards him, trying to bypass Chen Mu's central army's central chart formation to launch an attack from the flanks. Under the order of Qianhu, the infantry and Baihu of Cavalry led their troops to come out towards him.

There are many horses in the military palace, two-pound cannons have horses, the Zhenshuo General has horses, the tiger squat cannons and even the general flag arrows have horses, but there are no horses except the family corps. Therefore, the so-called cavalry and hundreds of cavalry families actually have no cavalry. When marching, they control hundreds of pack horses and carriages to carry artillery shells.

In other words, the ones sent out to fight against the cavalry were actually two infantry and hundreds of households.

Two small hollow formations stood outside the large formation, the outer shield hand spearman knelt down, and the shield was erected on all four sides of the shield, and the middle gunman stood and shot at the cavalry running towards each other.

This is not a hollow array for anti-cannons, but just to allow the gunner to shoot, so the hollow is very small.

Horses can really directly attack the square formation. As long as the riders are properly manipulated and have the courage to die, they cannot see the front of them, and they need to wave their heads left and right while running to see the front.

As long as it cannot see it, it dares to rush into the spear formation.

But once you see it, the horse will be afraid, especially the war horse.

When the rider was also afraid, he was helpless in the face of the hedgehog shell and could only run back and forth between the two square formations. He neither dared to attack the square formation nor rode his horse back. Even if the square formation had only more than ten bird guns at the same time, they gradually eroded them.

In comparison, the flag army behind the shield wall of Chen Mu's formation was a little idle, and the enemy's brigade of infantry did not charge them, which made the scene a little embarrassed. According to the military order, the enemy's army did not shoot them with bows or artillery without shooting them with bows or artillery. They could not fire guns.

Only the artillery flags of each unit were busy, and one tiger squatting cannon was moved to the front and fired shotguns into the enemy's formation through the shield wall.

Chen Mu stared at the enemy formation with some anger. There were still only three cannons on the mountain. He rode on the horse and walked around for two rounds, saying, "I overestimated the courage of the enemy. I will order the flag to the mountain. They will fire the cannons if they do not charge!"
