396 [Guangxi Soldiers](2/2)
The real thing to be afraid of is poisonous arrows!
"Throw the gun!"
After another charge, the harpooners charged forward and threw their javelins.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
A small number of firecrackers from the soldiers also started shooting. After shooting, they immediately drew their swords and rushed forward.
More than 20 people from the Datong army fell, half of them were hit by javelins. The rest were hit by poisonous arrows, and they didn't know what kind of poison they were. They had chest tightness, shortness of breath, and general weakness. The poison exploded very quickly.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The last round of shelling, this time with shotgun shells, caused a large area in one blast.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang bang!"
3,500 Datong Fire Gun Soldiers, 20-step ultra-short range firing.
Of the 2,500 Datong dragoons, 1,000 were separated to deal with the local cavalry, and the rest chased after them and fired again.
After all, the soldiers are still human beings. Faced with such terrifying firepower, tens of thousands of them collapsed immediately.
Wei Changyi was not dead yet, and he was still charging forward with his remaining troops. He felt that as long as he charged into close combat, he would be able to defeat the Datong Army, which only had powerful firearms.
"Grenadier!"
Five hundred grenadiers with super long arms and strong physiques threw thousands of enemies at the rushing soldiers.
The rattan players, wolf spearmen, and spearmen were also in full formation, and the fire gunners retreated to fix their bayonets.
There was no need for close combat anymore. The leader of the bandits, Wei Changyi, was killed by ten thousand enemies, and all the remaining soldiers turned around and fled.
The dragoons put away their muskets and drew their swords, rushing over to kill them. Any enemy who did not put down their weapons and surrender would be killed with a single blow.
The Datong Army suffered losses, and the casualties suffered in guerrilla warfare in the mountains were far greater than in frontal combat.
After half a year of attacking Pingle Mansion, they were finally able to capture them all. Wei Changyi, the leader of the bandits, was killed in battle, and most of the other soldiers' leaders would choose to surrender.
It’s really hard to fight here in Guangxi!
Ethnic issues are also extremely complex and must be managed step by step.
After taking Pingle Prefecture, the next step is Guilin Prefecture and Liuzhou Prefecture.
In the absence of sufficient food and grass, Guangxi is expected to fight for another year or two. Each time it sends troops to occupy one or two prefectures, and then quickly conducts civil and political governance. The locals will accumulate enough food before sending out troops. During this period, they will also be busy with the work of suppressing bandits in the mountains.
Guangxi is so difficult, but Sichuan is going very smoothly.
Huang Yao and Qin Liangyu have jointly sent troops to attack Wang Xiang in Chongqing Prefecture with Yang Zhan.
