The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 741 Modern Warfare
Two thousand special soldiers of the Song Dynasty forcibly rushed into the formation.

When they were still tens of meters away from the Shanchan government army, the soldiers in the front all raised their guns and shot at the Shanchan government army ahead.

This is how the fight unfolded.

Shanchan's army obviously couldn't get used to this style of fighting. At the beginning of this encounter, many soldiers in the front row were shot and fell off their horses.There were even generals in armor among them.

However, they still applauded and greeted the special soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

In wars these days, it is even more important to meet on a narrow road and the brave wins.

The two sides of the official road are not grasslands, but forests.This makes it even more of an artistic conception of encountering each other on a narrow road.

Liu Zhuwen lived in the army, and beside him were warriors carrying big banners.Under his order, the warrior suddenly shook the big banner in his hand, shaking it from side to side.

Then, the Tiger Army and the Divine Cauldron Army galloped towards the woods on the left and right respectively.

At this moment, the distance between them and Shanchan's army was no more than ten meters.

Before and after the official road, everything is dusty.

Watching the imperial guards of the Great Song Dynasty suddenly separate and rush towards the dense forest.This obviously made the general who had to lead the army to charge a little confused, as if the arrow had just been shot, but the prey had already run away.

Just now, seeing the menacing approach of the Great Song Guards, they all thought that the Great Song Guards would fight them face to face.It never occurred to him that the imperial guards of the Great Song Dynasty would shoot and run away.

After the Tiger Army and the Shending Army rushed into the forest respectively, the situation was also different.

Even though they were all the elite of the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty, they could no longer maintain a rigorous formation in such a dense forest.

But no matter what, the army is still cohesive and not scattered.

Two big banners embroidered with downhill tigers and big tripods are looming in the forest.Then, the soldiers got off their horses one after another.

"kill!"

There was a loud roar in Shanchan's army.

The general who gave the orders was obviously not weak, and the roar was endlessly recalled on the official road.

The soldiers of Shanchan Mansion yelled "Zhen Zhentian" and rushed to the dense forests on both sides.

The imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty was only 2000 people, and they dared to detour on both sides and charged directly without concentrating their forces.In terms of the art of war, this is undoubtedly a stupid choice.

Even if they were fighting in the dense forest, how could 2000 people defeat their entire army of more than [-]?

But what De Shanchan's army did not expect was that the first thing the soldiers of the Tiger and Shending soldiers did after they got off their horses was to slap the horse's buttocks hard.

The war horse neighed in pain and galloped towards the official road outside the forest.

The dense forest seems to be shaking.

On the official road, the cavalry of Shanchan's army had also dismounted at this time, drew their knives, and charged towards the dense forest.

More than ten thousand people are enough to be considered mighty.

The official road is densely packed with human figures.

The two armies seem to be chaotic, but God is not chaotic.Each is still under the command of the general.

The situation didn't change until the horses of the Tiger and Shending armies rushed out of the dense forest.

In the past, iron cavalry in the Yuan Dynasty could be invincible, relying on the momentum of the fast horse.It is conceivable how powerful the horses are when they charge.

The horses of the two special forces of the Song Dynasty were carefully selected, just like their masters.At this time, he rushed out of the dense forest, and without accident, he disrupted the formation of Shanchan's army.

Although there may not be many soldiers of the Shanchan government army lost during the journey, it did win a brief opportunity for the fierce tiger and Shending armies in the dense forest.

After the soldiers drove the horses out of the dense forest, under the orders of the generals, they found obstacles one after another and started shooting.

This, of course, was ordered by Liu Zhuwen.

At this moment, he was sitting on the bluestone in the dense forest, his feather fan was shaking slightly, and he seemed to be idle, but in the eyes of the soldiers of the two armies, his appearance seemed a little unfathomable.

They had never fought like this before.In the past, when they used swords and guns, they would charge forward. Later, the army issued Shenlong guns, and they never thought that they could fight like this.

Throughout the Song Dynasty, it seemed that only the emperor could use firearms so superbly.

Now, Commander Liu Zhuwen probably has to be added.

Some officers and soldiers of Shanchan Mansion who rushed into the dense forest and those who had not rushed into the dense forest were caught off guard and fell to the ground by the Shenlong gun.

The soldiers of the tiger and the tripod armies were all trained by the special forces training method, and they were all human beings. They shot and picked the generals in the Shanchan government army.

Therefore, the generals in Shanchan's army suffered a lot of losses.From the commander of a thousand to the commander of a centurion, almost as long as there are generals who stand out, few people can be spared.The robes and soldiers next to them tried to protect them, but they couldn't.Often the generals are dead, and they don't even know where the bullets came from.

Liu Zhuwen is undoubtedly a military genius.

Among the Song Dynasty, there is no one else who can master the firearms warfare in a short period of time.

Of course, he must have put in a lot of hard work in this, and it has something to do with the fact that he has never led an army before.

He has never led a soldier, and he has not formed the inertial thinking of fighting with cold weapons in the past. It is faster to accept this new style of firearms.

Just as Zhao Dongting expected, after he invented firearms, the warfare of this era is getting closer and closer to modern warfare.In particular, the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty, except for the fact that the power of firearms is still limited, is actually no different from the modern army.

It is conceivable what kind of advantage such an advanced modern army will have when fighting against an army that still uses knives and guns like the Shanchan government army.

This is almost the same as when Western colonists attacked uncivilized Native Americans.

The sound of guns and cannons in the dense forest can be heard endlessly.

The soldiers of the Tigers and the Divine Cauldrons hid behind trees or rocks, and quickly got used to this style of fighting, all of them looked high-spirited.

Fighting like this doesn't seem to be much different from when they were practicing target shooting in the barracks.It's just that scarecrows were beaten in the barracks, but real people were beaten here.

And most of them are old soldiers who have experienced many battles, how can they be afraid of such a scene?

In such years of war and strife, human life is actually worthless.The more you go to the battlefield, the more you will naturally become indifferent.

In war, you die or I die.

Shanchan's army rushed into the dense forest at a great price.

Fortunately, they also have thunderbolts, so they are not completely passively beaten.Some people also threw mines into the depths and fought back.

As for those bows and arrows, they had little effect in the face of the fierce tiger and Shending armies.

The special forces of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty can be described as a force armed by Zhao Dongting's whole country, and the armor on his body is all made of new steel.This is not something an arrow can easily shoot into.

Arrows occasionally shot at special soldiers hiding behind obstacles, but they only made a clanging sound, and then the arrows fell towards the ground.

Most of the new armors only left faint marks.

If you want to shoot through such armor, you are not the kind of fierce man who can draw a few stone bows, so it may be difficult to do so.

But when some soldiers finally rushed to the front of the fierce tiger and the Shending army, they found that these fierce men's hand skills were much better than theirs.

The soldiers of the two armies only carried daggers on their bodies, but all of them could almost play with the daggers.

There are also fierce men who point straight at the enemy's spears without dodging.

As a result, the tip of the gun was blocked by the armor and could not penetrate.

In this regard, the Ministry of Military Science and Technology has done experiments.To pierce armor with a spear, people without some martial arts skills can't do it at all.

The quality of iron smelted in Dali, Yuan Dynasty and other countries is far worse than that of the new steel in Song Dynasty.

Of course, the masters of the Yuan Realm have the strength to pierce armor with spears, but how many masters of the Yuan Realm can there be in Shan Chan's army?
You know, there are not many such masters in the special forces of Song Dynasty, such as Tiger, Miesha, and Great Sage.Even the Flying Dragon Army that has been trained to the end is less than half.

The effect of Zhao Dongting's elite soldier policy was fully reflected in this not-so-mighty battle.

The imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty was more than [-], perhaps they really had the strength to fight against a million-strong army.

This fight did not end soon.

The Shanchan Mansion Army with more than ten thousand soldiers was very powerful. Although they were devastated during the charge, there was a general behind them, so they would not be defeated so easily.

But Liu Zhuwen just sat cross-legged on the bluestone all the time, like Jiang Taigong fishing.

The victory or defeat seemed to have already been decided in his mind.

The sound of gunfire has not stopped from beginning to end.

The loss of the soldiers of the Shanchan Mansion was much greater than that of the Tiger and Shending armies.

The sun is getting more and more towards the west.

In Dali, where the temperature difference between day and night is huge, at this time, the air is filled with a chill.

This chill did not dampen the blood in the fight.

The two armies of Tiger and Shending took the initiative to attack and had the upper hand, so they would not retreat.

As for the Shanchan Mansion's reinforcements, the generals probably felt that it would be too embarrassing to be defeated by a mere 2000 people, and there was never a sound of gold in the army.

Until, Zhang Hongwei led the army behind, carrying cold and murderous aura, and attacked from the south side of the official road.

Although there were only about two thousand riders as the vanguard, these two thousand riders caused deep bitterness and fear in the hearts of the generals of the De Shan Chan Army.
