Chapter 218: Exaggerated battle report!

The battle elephants that were originally running wildly were caught off guard and became panicked. The neat attack formation was instantly misaligned. Some battle elephants were trying hard to stop, and some battle elephants directly raised their bodies. They all rushed to all obstacles blocking their side, trying to escape from this terrible fire hell.

The long swords with tight ties tied to the ivory have now become their weapon to deal with their companions, and the war elephants who were hurt are even more crazy. The cavalry on the elephant's back screamed and fell off the elephant's back, and were instantly stepped on by the rough and wild elephant legs into flesh.

The chaos in the entire battle elephant array immediately affected the cavalry following behind them. The end of those cavalry was even more miserable. Some cavalry were lucky enough to rush past the elephant soldiers, but they found in despair that another grenade was drawn in the sky, hitting their foreheads with strange arcs.

Ding Kesheng widened his eyes in disbelief. He looked at the Guiren City Wall with great force, but there were no smoke from gunpowders there after the bombardment of artillery. However, where did these terrifying explosions come from? Seeing his elite subordinates being torn into pieces in the flames, and watching the elephants who were originally watching the forwards who rushed to the formation were trampling on his soldiers madly, Ding Kesheng almost glared at the corners of his eyes and bit his back teeth.

No war elephant dared to rush through the sea of ​​explosion of fire, and even those war horses had the same idea. As a result, the originally high-powered attack formation of the Xishan Army began to become chaotic under the rebellion of the two animal troops.

Just after two rounds of crazy and dense explosions, Ding Kesheng's opponent was still standing quietly dozens of steps away, and even the formation did not change at all.

Perhaps their secret weapons had been used up. With this idea, Ding Kesheng, who was angry with his elite casualties, drew out his sword, shouted loudly, and ordered the war elephants to drive them away, leaving a way for the cavalry and infantry to charge at full speed. In fact, he didn't need to issue the previous order, because except for more than ten war elephants who were stabbed to the vital points by the long swords on their companions' ivory, they had already twitched to the ground, under the control of the remaining riders, as well as the infantry to help drive them away, they all fled to both sides of the battlefield.

"Brothers, the time for watching the performance ends here and I'm starting to work." Liang Pengfei viciously spitted off his cigar head, raised his hand and shot him. A knight who had rushed to only a few dozen steps away from the shield formation turned down and fell to the ground. The front hooves of the war horse twisted into a strange shape and kept crying. The knight was just about to stand up, and the bullets from the battle formation directly brought him back to heaven.

"Fire!" With the call from the lower-level officers, the thousand musketeers under Liang Pengfei began to show their amazing lethality. The dense platoon made the cavalry and infantry of the Xishan Army rushing forward like they were hitting the door panel, and they were shot and fell to the ground. There were also many archers among them. However, in this kind of charge, it was boring to pull the bow and aim at it.

The black helmet was the best protection for those musketeers. Although people were constantly hit by the sparse feather arrows, few hit the point. The injured quickly withdrew from the battle sequence, and the bomb droppers in the rear were repaired, and they took the muskets from their hands and joined the shooting competition.

The white smoke from rows of muskets spewed out formed a thick fog in front of the Liang family army's battle formation. Almost few of the Xishan soldiers who crashed into the fog could rush to the battle formation alive.

This was the first time these Xishan soldiers had seen this terrifying and intensive musket application methods. The large-scale bomb rain of bombs was watching their companions fall down one by one, just like a sharp saw cutting their courage.

At this time, the call sounded again, and two more rounds of grenades flew out. This time, it was no longer to block the opponent's charge, but to effectively kill the opponent.

The result was very simple. Facing the opponent with a long spear, the Liang family army, which used a large number of musketeers to carry out four-stage strikes and grenades, which surpassed this era, had undoubtedly won another brilliant victory.

Three thousand to five thousand, as a result, more than a thousand bodies were left behind, nearly a thousand wounded men were captured, and only more than two thousand ran away. The terrifying elephants were even more than ten who had no time to take them away. Ding Kesheng, the most trustworthy general, led more than two thousand defeated soldiers who had been destroyed in battle, fled back to Fumei City in disgrace.

Although Ding Kesheng, who was ashamed and angry, had thought of dying for his country in front of the battle, he rationally gave up his intention of death after being stopped by his personal soldiers and generals. After all, not everyone would want to die every moment. Since it was impossible to die for the first time, Ding Kesheng might think it would be better to be alive, so after running to Fumei City, he sent an emergency document to Ruan Wenhui.

Of course, he exaggerated the strength of the Qing army against him a little, otherwise he would not have the shame to report his defeat.

After receiving the news that Na Ding Kesheng's five thousand army and 10,000 Qing army fought a life-and-death battle under Naguiren City, and suffered losses of soldiers and generals, and had to retreat to Fumei City, Ruan Wenhui's illness became even worse.

These days, He Lin finally waited for the reinforcements he longed for, the heavy artillery used to siege the city, and the siege weapons vigorously built during this period, making the situation in Lang Mall become more serious.

The siege of more than ten days made Ruan Wenhui cry. Just as he was considering whether to retreat to Shenglong City, Ding Kesheng's urgent military newspaper was like a heavy hammer and hit his already fragile nerve.

He understood the combat effectiveness of his brave general, so he did not doubt Ding Kesheng's emergency military newspaper. Since he had no doubts, the Qing army behind him, whose strength had increased sharply was no longer just a simple threat, but a powerful opponent.

The feeling of a tiger and leopard in front and a jackal behind caused Ruan Wenhui, who was already so pessimistic about the situation, suffered a heavy blow again. Although he still did not reveal it, there were some bad rumors among his ministers. However, due to Ruan Wenhui's accumulated power and military power in Ruan Wenhui's hands, those subordinates were at most secretly winking.

Just regaining people's hearts, improving morale, and... and retreating is inevitable. It seems that because the pressure stimulates motivation, Ruan Wenhui seems to have forgotten the pain during this period and dealt with various affairs with great energy every day.

But now, in his bedroom, Ruan Wenhui, whose gray hair had almost turned into snow, was leaning on the couch. Next to him, an imperial physician was holding his pulse for him with a nervous face. In front of him, a general stood up from time to time and walked a few steps, opened his mouth and sat back in disappointment.

"Your Majesty is not serious. You just need to rest with peace of mind. I will prescribe a prescription for recuperation in a while..." The imperial physician let go of his hand to take his pulse and said to Ruan Wenhui.

After Ruan Wenhui nodded slightly, she waved her head and pointed at the general. Although she still looked good, she not only turned her hair and hair white, but also the wrinkles on her face were like the rings of an old tree: "Just show your seat, I know my illness, I can't die for a while."

"Your Majesty, you should worry less. Look at your current body. I feel really uncomfortable in my heart." The general who was called by Ruan Wenhui by Guangxian was his nephew Ruan Guangxian. He is also the only son of the brother who died early in their Ruan family. In fact, when it comes to seniority, Ruan Wenyue can only be regarded as the second child, but the eldest brother died of illness before the uprising. Therefore, the Western Paradise usually refers to the three brothers.

However, Ruan Guangxian is also quite talented. Now he is a capable general of Ruan Wenhui.

"I know your intention very well, but that He Lin is really a headache. He actually had the patience to wait until reinforcements and heavy artillery before starting the attack again. These days, Lang Mall is broken and no longer suitable for defense. Therefore, I decided to evacuate Lang Mall tomorrow and retreat to Shenglong." Ruan Wenhui habitually stroked the snow-white eyebrows and said.

"Your Majesty is wise. But Your Majesty, how should the Qing Kingdom in the south deal with it? Please make a decision early." Ruan Guangxian paused and said. "The other party's strength seems to have grown too fast. If it cannot be annihilated or suppressed by them in a short time, and allow it to develop, Annan will be in danger."

"Oh..." Ruan Wenhui responded lightly, but was silent again, making Ruan Guangxian stare at him.

After a while, Ruan Wenhui spoke: "Do you think Ding Kesheng's current strength can defeat more than ten thousand Qing troops?"

"This..." Ruan Guangxian couldn't help but stutter, pursing his dry lips and slowly shook his head: "No, now in order to deal with the main force of the Qing Dynasty in the north, the forces in the court were almost allocated. If Ding Kesheng arrived in Guiren City early and gathered the five thousand soldiers in the city, even if he could not win, he would have more than enough defense."
