East Factory Governor

Chapter 814 Encirclement on Three Sides
Thanks to their long battles, they know that the best way to face the artillery fire from the mountain is to hide at the foot of the mountain. In this way, on the one hand, the artillery fire cannot be hit, and on the other hand, if the superior orders to attack, they can act quickly.

It's just that under the fierce bombardment of this artillery fire, the elephant soldiers they were proud of were completely gone, and at least four to five thousand soldiers were killed or injured.

He Long, who was at the rear of the team, was lucky enough to escape the shelling of the Ming army - the team of 5 people was too long, and the artillery of the Ming army could not reach him.

But when the news from the front came, he still trembled with distress.

Eight hundred elephant soldiers, this is a trump card in his hand, he did not expect to be defeated so easily.

There are three paths before him now.

One is to withdraw troops and make plans again.

The second is to besiege the Ming army at the foot of the mountain.

The third is to immediately attack the mountains and fight the Ming army in the mountains.

The first path was not his original intention. He came this time to find Qin Shuhuai's main force and fight him decisively.If it drags on, after Li Dingguo's troops break through the Xidang River, he will face a double attack, and the situation will be even worse.

The second way is even more unrealistic.Because this mountain range is tens of miles long, how can he besiege it?

Then there is the last one left, attacking the mountain immediately.

Talong believes that when it comes to fighting in the mountains, the Dongwu people dare to recognize the second, and no one dares to recognize the first!

There are many mountains in Dongwu, which Dongwu people have never been to the mountain?Which cave black soldier has never fought on the mountain?
Dashan is the home of Dongwu people!

Therefore, he immediately ordered that he was bombarded by the Ming army and survived. Now the part of the troops hiding at the foot of the mountain, about [-] people, stood by and waited for the signal to attack from the bottom up to the mountain.

The part that was at the front of the team and had passed through the Ming army's ambush area, about [-] troops, went up the mountain from the south side of the mountain, and waited for the signal after going up the mountain.

Of the [-] troops who were originally at the back of the team and had not yet entered the Ming army's ambush area, [-] were left as a reserve team, and the remaining [-] immediately went up the mountain from the north.

Talong's intentions are obvious. He hopes to encircle the Ming army from the south, north, and center.

The east side that was left intentionally was a trap he set for the Ming army.Because the east is not only a steep slope, but also a depression after going down. Once the Ming army enters the depression, his army can catch the turtle in the urn, and it will be easier to fight.

The orders were issued one by one quickly, and soon the cave soldiers started to act.

The Ming army is all veterans of ambushes. Of course, they have been prepared for this situation, and they are happy to hear it.

Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the chaos and rush down, but I didn't expect the other party to come to my door on my own initiative, which would save a lot of trouble.

You must know that the Demon Cult's Thick Earth Banner has been busy for a day and a night in order to prevent the opponent from rushing up. At first, everyone was still thinking that these guys really can't be idle, and they may not be useful after such a long time.

But now it's fine, it's really useful.

After observing the distribution of the opponent's troops, Qin Shuhuai ordered Zu Dashou to lead 5000 people to stop the approximately [-] black soldiers coming up the mountain from the south.

Zhang Xiao led 7000 people to deploy defenses in the north, mainly to deal with the main force of Dongwu coming from the north.

The remaining 4000 people were led by Qin Shuhuai himself to deal with the [-] black soldiers who were bombarded and still encircled from the west, that is, at the foot of the mountain.

After everything was arranged, everyone acted immediately and found the defensive position that had been surveyed before. It is right to say that the Houtu Banner can't be idle. After the army went up the mountain, they had already figured out the terrain here. Where is the dangerous place that is easy to defend? Where you can retreat and where you can hide, that's called clearing the door.

About two quarters of an hour later, the Dongwu army was also deployed, and then the fireworks signal was raised.

The black army in Sanmiandong had already arrived at the predetermined position, and immediately began to encircle them after seeing the signal.

The more than 700 people led by Qin Shuhuai were extremely calm when they saw the Dongwu soldiers rushing up like apes from the bottom of the mountain.

They easily crouched behind a rock or cover, and whispered jokes.

"Look, I said that the cave soldiers are monkeys, and the speed up the mountain is faster than monkeys."

"Monkeys? Have you ever seen monkeys? Our monkeys in Mount Emei don't walk at all, they all fly on trees."

"Really? Seriously, is Mount Emei as big as Mount Qingcheng?"

"It's time to grow up, and you'll know when you go some other day? I'm the host, so please take a good look around."

"Okay, then it's settled, try the Emei Sanhua wine from your side then."

"Enough! Hehe."

While people from other sects were chatting nonsense, the Five Elements Flag of the Devil's Cult and the copycat Five Elements Flag of the Jianghe Gang were already busy.

Baskets of thunderbolts, barrels of green water, and kerosene were pushed to the forefront one after another. At the same time, about two hundred crossbowmen and two hundred gunners were also in place.

After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, the more than 1000 black soldiers at the forefront finally climbed to a distance of only 30 meters from the Ming army's position.

Following Wu Lie's order from Lie Huo Banner, Pili Lei was the first to show off his power.

There were 200 members of the Devil's Cult Raging Fire Banner staying here, and there were also [-] of the Jianghe Gang's Shanzhai Raging Fire Banner, which meant that at a certain moment, [-] Thunderbolts just went out.

Chi chi chi, boom!
The Thunderbolt with its fiery tail drew countless arcs and exploded rumbled after landing.Explosions followed by explosions, loud noises covered loud noises, the soft soil in the gunpowder smoke was trembling crazily, and even the air could feel the heat waves churning.

Almost all places that can be seen by the line of sight are covered by the explosion. Countless black soldiers fell down, or flew up and then fell down in the sound of the explosion. Almost every explosion can overturn a group of people, and the people who were thrown These people who turned over must be dripping with blood, with broken limbs everywhere, and it was a tragic scene.

The group of cave black soldiers had just recovered from the bombardment of the cannon, and now they encountered thunder like raindrops, and immediately became dazed again.

Not confused, but scared!
They deeply feel that they have just crawled out of hell and are now back in hell again.

Feelings of terror and despair are spreading.

These four hundred thunderbolts killed and wounded at least five or six hundred black soldiers-these black soldiers may have never seen thunderbolts before, and they used the old-fashioned intensive charge method when they charged. The trees have blocked a lot of thunder for them, and I am afraid that the entire army can be declared wiped out now.

The Dongwu soldiers in front were afraid, some ran back desperately, some lay dead on the ground, and some hid behind trees, not daring to charge forward.

The Dongwu commander in the back was so angry that he immediately organized a firing squad. Whoever dared to shrink back and run away would be executed on the spot.

After killing a few deserters, the situation finally improved.

Commander Dongwu continued to direct the charge, hoping to rush to the Ming army's position in one fell swoop and start a hand-to-hand fight with them.

But the second wave of charge met the same fate, and was blown back by a thunderbolt before it could charge up.

But the Dongwu soldiers did not stop, and soon organized a third and larger charge.

At least [-] black soldiers participated in this charge, and there was a vast expanse of black as far as the eye could see.And this time they are much smarter, the formation is relatively scattered, once a thunderbolt comes over, they immediately look for trees for cover, and continue to charge after the thunder explodes.
