295 The Crushing Crush!

Wujiang Camp.

When the princes saw that tens of thousands of troops landed in Jiangbei, they began to make rice by burying pots and making rice. They knew that this battle would not be fought for a while, so they immediately ordered the fire to make rice.

The war is huge in size, and it is probably not possible to fight in a short while. It is completely possible to fight for more than ten days and months, so there is no rush.

After fighting for a longer period of time, it will be more powerful to their vassal coalition.

After all, their supply lines are very convenient.

If this battle ends in autumn and after the autumn harvest, it would be even better.

However, the imperial army needs to be transported from the other side of the river, which is obviously more troublesome.

"Swoosh~!"

But a fast horse rushed over, shot an arrow and flew into the camp with a letter.

The soldiers in the camp picked up the arrows and hurriedly rushed to the camp with their arrow letters and reported to the princes.

"Bang~!"

After reading the letter, King Xiang Wu of Chu was furious and slapped him on the wooden table, "Little Hunhou, I'm too bullying me! I'll actually break my Wujiang camp within half a day!"

"What did he say?"

"Xiao Hunhou actually asked us to prepare a banquet for tonight. He wanted to have the banquet for the generals in our Wujiang Camp at night!"

The princes and kings took the letter one after another and saw the contents inside, and they were filled with smoke from the seven orifices.

No matter what, they have an army of 500,000. Although they only have 100,000 elite soldiers, the rest are miscellaneous soldiers. Even if they kill pigs and sheep, they will definitely not be able to kill so many pigs and sheep in a long time.

"He is delusional!"

"Xiao Hunhou is deliberately angering us and let us take the initiative to attack! He is on the position, waiting for attack with defense."

"Don't pay attention to him, everyone eats and drinks, and prepares for war!"

King Xiang of Zhao then shouted.

The princes and kings ignored the provocative letter and feasted and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.

The entire princes' army also had a full meal and prepared for the afternoon battle.

...

After one hour.

The 30,000 troops in the court at the mudflat position had finished lunch, rested, and finally began to prepare for the battle.

"Resist the horse and move forward! Two miles!"

"Ten thousand stairs, long spears and shield soldiers, advance forward! Two miles!"

"Twenty thousand musketeers push forward two miles!"

"Five hundred artillery positions, advance two miles forward!"

"Forty thousand infantrymen came down from the warship, deployed defenses on both sides, and built a horse-resisting horse."

Chu Tianxiu ordered it quickly to the generals of the court.

There are already 70,000 troops on the Jiangbei position, and there are still 50,000 or 60,000 troops left on the ship.

The generals of the imperial court led the camps of ten thousand people one by one and began to advance towards the camp of Wujiang.

The imperial army formed a defensive formation with Hui characters, covering the five hundred small steel cannons in the middle, and began to approach the Wujiang Camp.

Soon, this tightly defended Huizi formation advanced one mile away from Wujiang Camp.

In Wujiang Camp, camps of ten thousand people stand in front of them, blocking their way.

Although the arrow cannot shoot at the other party.

But the small cannons of the imperial army and the stone throwers of the princes had a range of about one mile and could already attack each other.

"The First Artillery Brigade, fire the artillery! Destroy several camps of 10,000 people in front of him!"

Chu Tianxiu gave an order.

In an instant, 100 small cannons fired at the same time.

Hundreds of whistling iron ball shells blasted towards the camp and smashed on the wooden wall. The seemingly tall and strong wooden wall could not withstand the bombardment of iron balls, and was immediately smashed by these cannon balls, falling into pieces, and a large number of holes appeared.

Behind the wooden wall, there are dozens of giant stone throwers, creakingly rotating the hub, launching stones.

Also, a camp of ten thousand people composed of elite heavy infantry and archers.

"call!"

Dozens of stones were ejected, roaring, flying towards the court army, falling into the formation and injured dozens of people.

"Second Artillery Brigade, fire!"

With Chu Tianxiu's call.

Another round of dense shells covered it, and the 10 stone throwers behind the wooden wall were quickly destroyed.

In ancient times, if you want to reach the same range as the cannon, your body must be made very large. Moreover, the stone was thrown out, and the stone drew a parabola and landed on the enemy's position. The power of the fall was somewhat weak.

Naturally, the stone caster is also very fragile. If you bump a little, it will easily damage the shaft device.

In contrast, the small steel cannon is very small and the steel pipe is extremely strong, so it is easy to be pushed away by a small cart.

Even if the barrel is hit by a stone, it will not be damaged at all. The cart is broken, so just lift the cannon and replace it with another cart.

500 small steel cannons will basically not be reduced unless the chamber is blown up.

Both sides bombarded and threw stones. It was obvious that the five hundred small steel cannons were sure to win, and the opponent had no chance to use the stone thrower to win.

...

"Ten thousand elite heavy armored soldiers, three miscellaneous soldiers and ten thousand soldiers, attacking together from all directions!"

King Xiang Wu of Chu watched on the towering podium and suddenly shouted.

Xiao Hunhou's character-return formation is too tight to defend, and even the stone thrower can't hit the stone.

He had no other way.

The infantry can only attack from the front... As for the archers, it is really too lethal to let them attack a group of heavily armored infantry wearing iron armor from a distance.

The king ordered the flag.

"kill!"

Suddenly, an elite camp of ten thousand soldiers and sword armored soldiers emerged from the Wujiang camp, and three camps of ten thousand soldiers and soldiers were rushing towards the court under the leadership of their respective generals.

Chu Tianxiu looked at him coldly.

The entire imperial army was ready for battle.

The heavy guns and shield soldiers remained motionless.

"Twenty thousand musketeers, ten thousand against elite infantry, and four platoons take turns shooting. Ten thousand against miscellaneous soldiers in other directions!"

Chu Tianxiu issued an order quickly.

"Open fire!"

"Bang~bang~bang~bang~!"

The musketeers opened fire.

In an instant, there were 2,500 projectiles shot towards the sword-armored soldiers who rushed over half a mile away.

Puff!

Thousands of swordsman soldiers fell down.

When they rushed through this mile, tens of thousands of musketeers shot four rounds, and more than three or four thousand elite sword-armored soldiers fell one mile to charge.

Even the elite soldiers trained by the princes could not withstand such a terrifying death rate.

Before this camp of ten thousand soldiers rushed to the front of the ruling horse, they had already fought with the imperial army in close combat, and all their morale was destroyed. They all looked frightened and their charges were slower and slower.

"Boom!"

One hundred cannons opened fire and fell among the remaining remaining soldiers of the elite sword-armored soldiers. Suddenly, the center of the camp was blooming, and a scream of horror was in chaos.

The camp of ten thousand people finally collapsed and began to escape from the rear.

The other three camps of 10,000 people were even more fragile. They just took two rounds of musketeers' shooting, fell down thousands of soldiers, and then ran away and fled to the direction of the camp.

When the princes and kings saw this scene, their hearts were filled with coldness.

In just one charge, a camp of elite swordsmen with ten thousand people was destroyed. Three camps of miscellaneous soldiers retreated.

"go ahead!"

"Push half a mile!"

"Bomb the Wujiang Camp!"

Chu Tianxiu shouted.

The imperial court's Huizhi Formation, with a 70,000 imperial army, slowly crushing towards the Wujiang Camp.
