"Kill." Min Rou led the troops to charge fiercely, and instantly surrounded the enemy's artillery position.

The strength of the four battalions remained at the front to defeat the enemy's guards, about two battalions.

At this time.

Enemy reinforcements also arrived.

About two brigades were trying to encircle Du Zhen's four battalions.

In the command post.

Lu Xun yelled anxiously: "Send the artillery battalion, open fire to the northeast, and beat back all the enemy's reinforcements!"

boom boom boom

The artillery battalion, which had been prepared for a long time, had already aimed at the battlefield in the northeast.

When the enemy's reinforcements arrived, they were greeted with a burst of indiscriminate bombing.

Round after round of shells, without the slightest break.

Just a few minutes.

The enemy's two brigades not only did not advance an inch, but suffered heavy casualties.

The most gratifying thing is that Du Zhen's four battalions and Min Rou's cavalry successfully occupied the enemy's artillery positions, wiped out more than [-] enemy guards, and captured more than [-] cannons and more than [-] shells.

The enemy reinforcements did not arrive on the battlefield in time, and were beaten back.

Things are not in their favor now.

Perhaps it was the high-level decision of the Western Merchant Empire to withdraw the two brigades back to the base camp.

in this way.

In this raid on the enemy's artillery position, Lu Xun won a complete victory.

Next, the defense line to the west was stabilized.

The enemy without artillery is like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out.

Lu Xun left two battalions to protect the cannons, and mobilized troops to launch a full-scale attack on the enemy.

First bombard the enemy's position with artillery.

Make it a mess.

Then send a death squad to clear the way ahead and attack the enemy's core.

Behind are Du Zhen's four battalions as backup.

"Our troops are still a bit small. Four battalions may not be able to defeat the main force of the enemy army." Lu Xun surveyed the overall situation in the command post.This shortcoming was discovered.

Although overall, he had a slight upper hand.

But he had sent out all his troops, and there were no reinforcements.

In case of any accident on the front line, he has no way out.

"I hope I can succeed in one fell swoop this time." Lu Xun stared straight at the battlefield below.

time passes by

until the next morning.

The battle situation began to be unfavorable to Lu Xun.

To sum up the reason, it is still because the enemy has too many troops.

Tens of thousands of troops can be mobilized casually.

But the four battalions that Du Zhen took with him only had more than a thousand people.Although there are cannons to cheer, they are no match for the crowd.

Lu Xun has no more troops to send.

In order to reduce the casualties of the troops, he was going to order all the troops to withdraw to the west position, where they would fight against the enemy and keep their positions.

"General, look over there." Suddenly Lu Xun's bodyguard pointed to the north of the battlefield.

With the strength of at least two regiments, strike the enemy's flank.

"This is it." Lu Xun said: "Your Majesty must have led the army. Well, this time we don't have to be afraid of the enemy."

"Quickly send an order to the third brigade stationed in the west to draw a regiment of troops to go around to the south and launch a fierce attack on the enemy. At the same time, let the artillery battalion of the third brigade provide artillery support. The troops broke up."

"Yes."

The orderly at the side rushed forward.

The two regiments that came to reinforce were indeed troops sent by Xu Ding.

But Xu Ding didn't come in person.

Because Qiaojun City still needs him to be stationed.

Once he leaves, the enemy will increase their troops to attack Qiaojun, and there is a danger of losing the city.

So let Hong Yuan, the brigade commander of the second brigade, lead the troops.

With the addition of Hong Yuan and the temporary strategic adjustment made by Lu Xun, the enemy army was soon besieged from three sides.

There are also powerful artillery, which have been advancing and bombarding uninterruptedly.

The three sides work together to make the enemy's troops continuously shrink their defenses.

Now it has been forced to retreat to an open field and a mountain range of five or six miles.

If Min Rou's cavalry still existed, they would surely win a complete victory if they rushed over at this time.Unfortunately, in the last two battles, Min Rou's Guiyi Army was almost wiped out.

No matter how good the situation is now, they can't be dispatched.

"The enemy is already at a disadvantage. If it were me, I would order the withdrawal of troops, reserve strength, and wait for the next attack. I don't know if these generals of the Western Shang Empire will give up."

In fact, Lu Xun really hoped that the enemy would retreat.

There are many variables in this war, and it has changed a lot from the plan he designed before.If it weren't for the two regiments sent by Xu Ding, the pressure on the battlefield would be relieved.I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to win.

Now we have a little upper hand, but we can't completely wipe out the enemy army.
