On March 5, the Chinese army launched simultaneous attacks from three directions.

On the left is Shi Shouye, who led an army of about 6,000 people, passing through Shihou Township and preparing to go straight to Ningde County.

On the other hand, the Ming army deployed troops to block it on the high ground around Longpen Bay.

The Longpen Bay area is a valley with mountains on both sides.

Passing through the valley, the threats on the mountains on both sides need to be addressed.

Shi Shouye's troop, the task given by the headquarters is to contain, and does not expect them to be able to achieve any results.

After all, their equipment is relatively backward, not even a single artillery piece.

The strength of the army is only equal to that of the Ming army, not dominant.

In terms of terrain, it is even more disadvantaged.

In this case, it is quite difficult to defeat the opponent.

The meaning of the headquarters is that as long as they contain part of the Ming army's forces, the task is completed.

Of course, it would be even better if they could capture and complete a breakthrough and create more trouble for the Ming army.

Now is the rising period of Dahua, there are many opportunities for promotion, and most of the officials and generals are very motivated.

The same is true of Shi Shouye. He also wants to take advantage of the war to earn more military exploits.

Otherwise, after the world is unified, these generals will have no place to shine, and they can only live on their own.

To be able to get a noble title and live a noble life before retirement is the biggest wish of these officers.

"Brigade commander, it's not easy to fight. There are only two paths that can go up the mountain, and they were all destroyed by the Ming army. If you want to go up the mountain, you can only climb up from the front."

Although the slope here is not too steep, there are so many thorns and thorns that a simple climb up can cost half of an ordinary person's life.

What's more, there are still enemies defending the mountain at this time.

"You have to fight if you don't want to fight. Do you think it's easy to fight elsewhere?"

Shi Shouye said.

"The order, the first regiment, the second regiment, and the third regiment attacked the three hilltops of Shangdonghu, Donghu and Xiadonghu respectively."

Shi Shouye put down his telescope and issued the latest combat order.

Subsequently, except for the fourth and fifth regiments to stay in place, the other three regiments all began to act.

Each regiment has about 1,400 people, only flintlock pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, and a small number of grenadiers and other special arms.

The three regiments were divided into three groups, only a few hundred meters apart from each other, and they were advancing towards the mountain together.

At this time, on the top of Hushan Mountain in Shanglin, Zhou Zhipan, the commander of the Ming army, was also observing the enemy with binoculars.

The new army created by Zhu Yujian also learned the military system of Dahua and adopted the military division and brigade.

They also have some people in the DPRK who study the art of war and military, and they have studied Dahua's army from many aspects.

One of the research results is that the formation of the Chinese army is more advanced, which is convenient for command and coordination between arms.

As a result, Zhu Yujian also adopted the suggestion, and the new army imitated the military system of Dahua.

The country was about to end, and Zhu Yujian didn't care about his face, so he copied it.

This kind of place that can be imitated without spending money, he can't wait to have more.

Like Hua Jun's weapons, he couldn't imitate them even if he wanted to. This is the most painful part.

Seeing the direction of Hua Jun's attack, Zhou Zhipan immediately ordered: "Let Commander Liu, who is stationed at Jinfeng, transfer his troops to Donghu for support, and let Commander Zhao at the head of the room prepare to look for opportunities to attack the enemy's rear."

Jin Feng was on the left side of Shangdong Hu and was not listed as an offensive target by the Hua army, so it would be a waste to continue to place troops there.

The Shitou Peak was behind Donghu, where Zhou Zhipan placed more than 1,000 people in order to find an opportunity to attack the Huajun headquarters below the mountain.

If the sneak attack is successful, it can have miraculous effects.

Even if the sneak attack is unsuccessful, this troop is placed there, and it can contain a lot of the Chinese army, so that the Chinese army does not dare to put all its forces into the battle.

After all, the headquarters still needs to be protected. There are a lot of food and weapons there, and it will be troublesome if they are destroyed.

These are all relatively basic tactics. In this kind of offensive and defensive battle, it is actually difficult to play any tricks.

It is only in mobile warfare that more complex situations are prone to occur, and then there is an opportunity to use conspiracy.

However, with Daming's strength, he didn't dare to play sports with Dahua. Occupying favorable terrain for defense is actually a relatively good tactic.

Going to play tactics with Dahua, the front is just, the risk is too great.

Both sides began to act, and when the three regiments of the Hua Army broke into the middle of the mountain, the Ming army on the mountain began to attack.

The first were their flintlock and arquebus units, and now they are also equipped with these two weapons on a large scale.

The Ming army used free shooting. They were not pedantic enough to be in this terrain, and they had to form a dense formation to play queuing and shoot with the Hua army.

Even if they are so stupid, the terrain here does not support this kind of tactics. On this hillside, it is impossible to find a flat land that can accommodate 100 people at the same time.

Whether a single free shot can hit or not depends on luck.

However, as long as there are enough shots, the hit rate can be guaranteed.

After all, A aimed at B and missed, but could hit C. And soldier B aiming at c may hit b again.

Thousands of people fired, and there was always some bullet that could hit the opponent.

The Chinese soldiers were not too far apart from each other.

In this round of shooting, at least a dozen unlucky people fell on Hua Jun's side.

This lethality is no longer weak. As long as a dozen rounds are played, the Chinese army will have more than 10% casualties. Later, when the Hua army rushed to the front for hand-to-hand combat, the Ming army could have an advantage in terms of morale, numbers and terrain.

"Go ahead and ignore them."

The officers of the Chinese Army immediately reprimanded when they saw that some soldiers wanted to stop and fight back.

For them, the most important thing is to rush to the decisive battle. It is not a good idea to stand on the spot and shoot against the Ming army.

Everyone's weapons are similar, and they don't have any bargains to take.

As soon as the order came out, the soldiers of the Chinese army immediately gave up their plan to counterattack and moved on.

Continuing to advance for 30 to 40 meters, the distance between the two sides was less than 30 meters. The hit of the flintlock gun at this distance was further improved, and the Chinese army began to suffer large casualties.

"Accelerate the charge."

shouted the commander.

At this distance, it is no longer possible to walk slowly.

They accelerated their charge, and some timid soldiers in the Ming army began to panic.

After all, the enemy seems to be imminent.

Some grenadiers had already started throwing grenades, and the distance was within reach, but they were not very accurate.

Those Chinese troops that rushed up were not all over the place.

Some grenades thrown into the open space will only blow up lonely.

"Lie down."

Seeing some grenades fall near their side, some officers and soldiers shouted and fell down at the same time.

This approach can effectively reduce casualties.

In fact, some soldiers of the Ming Army have also discovered this pattern.

On some battlefields, some Ming soldiers spontaneously used this method to avoid danger.

However, the Ming army did not summarize and promote this experience.

However, within the Huajun, because the enemy's grenade increased, they began to pay attention to this problem, and then they developed the evasion method of lying down.
