Because Sirenfa discovered that the chieftains under his command were already in chaos before the Ming army did anything.

Without him, the military power of the Ming Dynasty would never be comparable to that of Luchuan.

Even though he defeated Mu Ang, pursued him for three hundred miles, and killed several generals of the Ming army, in the hearts of these chieftains, Ming Dynasty was strong and Luchuan was weak.

But the support of these chieftains was very important to Luchuan.

After all, for the Ming Dynasty, it made no difference whether these chieftains were present or not, but for Luchuan, if he wanted to defeat the Ming Dynasty, he had to recruit all the forces that could be coaxed.

Only victory after victory can change the understanding of these chieftains. When they feel that although the Ming Dynasty is strong, Luchuan is not weaker than the Ming Dynasty.

Only in this way can we get their sincere help.

Therefore, in this battle, he cannot hide or retreat.

Because if he hides or retreats, the chieftains around him will immediately switch sides.

Therefore, this battle is a battle of confidence.

Sirenfa immediately ordered a group of troops to be left behind to guard the Ming army in Jingdong City. The rest of the Luchuan troops were all out of camp and arrayed for a decisive battle with the Ming army south of Wuliang Mountain.

Just like that, the Ming army was wearing a uniform red flag, every soldier was wearing a mandarin duck war jacket, and more than ten thousand cavalry were dismounted. Every soldier sat on the grass under the horse, took out the bamboo tube, and drank it gently.

Take a sip, hold it in your mouth, don't drink it, it's just to moisten your throat.

Then he put the meat strips in his hands into his mouth.

Chewing vigorously.

These dried meats are so hard that they are almost tooth-breaking and have no flavor at all, but everyone knows that this battle will definitely be a tough one.

I don’t know when the next meal will be, or even whether I will have a chance to have another meal.

So you have to try your best to eat as much as possible, but don't overeat, because eating too much will affect your performance when you fight later.

So they can only eat snacks like snacks, waiting for a while to eat, and waiting for a while to eat a little before the big battle.

It can be seen from this that the 30,000 elite troops selected by Meng Ying were all elite veterans who had fought against the Mongols on the nine sides.

It has a nice smell.

If new recruits are allowed to come, they will definitely not know the appropriateness.

Meng Ying put up a pavilion with her hands and watched the Luchuan army coming out of camp to form an array. She suddenly smiled softly and said, "It seems that the people in Luchuan really look down on me, Mr. Meng."

"Dare to go out and line up in front of me."

Meng Ying got on her horse, suddenly drew her sword in her hand, and raised it high above her head.

With almost a sound, all the cavalry mounted their horses. Shi Jing held Meng Ying's general flag high. Behind Meng Ying, the guards of Qianqing Palace brought over by Shi Jing and the children of the Meng family behind Meng Jun all gathered around Meng Ying.

Beside Ying.

Meng Ying's long knife slashed down slowly.

Shi Jing immediately raised the flag high, turned in a circle in the air, and pointed towards the south. Countless cavalry shouted: "Tiger, tiger, tiger."

Then Meng Ying took the lead and rushed down.

Of course, Meng Ying's personal soldiers rushed to Meng Ying's side.

More than ten thousand cavalrymen divided into several groups and charged down.

The Lucchuan army that was leaving camp suddenly became confused.

But Sirenfa was considered a veteran, so he naturally thought carefully before giving the order, so a large group of elephant soldiers rushed out.

It was like a series of blockhouses, lined up in front of the army. Each war elephant had four or five people on it, either with spears or bows and arrows, relying on this elephant wall to resist the Ming army's attack.

After Mu Ying used fire blunderbuss to destroy the elephant soldiers.

Everyone in Luchuan knew that the elephant soldiers were unreliable when used for attack. But Siren realized that at this moment he just wanted to use the elephant soldiers to resist for a while.

I guess these cavalry didn't have artillery.

Moreover, these elephants have also undergone special training. It is impossible to alert them with ordinary firecrackers.

In Si Renfa, this determination is impeccable.

But this is too underestimated Meng Ying.

Meng Ying also guarded Annan, so he naturally knew what an elephant soldier was.

Therefore, Meng Ying gave an order, and a large group of cavalry rushed forward, shooting bows and arrows like rain.

You must know that there are a large number of Mongolians among the Ming army cavalry. For example, Mao Rui, who was regarded as his right-hand man by Meng Ying this time, is a Mongolian.

Therefore, the Ming army's skill in riding and shooting was no worse than that of the Mongols.

This is especially true for the children of the Meng family. Although not everyone can be like Meng Yuan, who can kill two willows with one arrow, he is definitely good at riding and shooting.

Therefore, when shooting at these elephant soldiers, most of them were knocked to the ground in just one round of arrows.

Without the protection of these elephant soldiers, the Ming cavalry approached the elephant soldiers again. Something like a hammer was pointed at the elephant, and a roaring sound was heard.

This is none other than the three-eyed firecracker commonly used by border troops.

The three-eyed fire cannon fired three times in a row, all hitting the elephant.

But these elephants were indeed specially trained. Although they were a little irritable when they heard the sound of the explosion, they were not confused and did not rush back.

Immediately, batches of three-eyed fire cannons from the Ming army attacked.

The elephants that were not controlled by the elephant soldiers began to get confused. Some elephants were angered and rushed over. Some elephants were frightened and began to retreat.

Meng Ying suddenly thought to herself: "The time has come."

Although at this frequency, if the three-eyed fire cannon is fired for a few more rounds, these elephants will definitely not be able to sustain it.

But time is not on Meng Ying's side.

Now the Lucchuan army's formation is about to be completed or not. If we attack like this, we will get twice the result with half the effort. But if we wait a little longer, if we wait for the Luchuan army to be arrayed and then attack again, victory will be certain, but the casualties will be huge.

Meng Ying no longer hesitated and gave the order and rushed over.

After the military order was given, the cavalrymen did not hesitate. They immediately charged down, but the elephant was an elephant. The charging elephant flicked its long trunk and overturned several cavalrymen.

Suddenly a general rushed over. He fully drew his bow and ran towards the elephant, leaning against the elephant's body and passing by. When the bowstring in his hand was loosened, the long arrow almost touched the elephant.

Shot into the eye.

The long arrow sank into the elephant's eye.

The elephant hissed loudly, knelt down on the ground with its front legs, whined loudly, and expired.

The morale of the Ming army suddenly increased, and the warriors in the army stepped forward one after another and used various methods to kill the elephant. No matter how big the elephant was, a beast was a beast. Without the protection of the elephant soldiers, it was impossible to hunt the elephant.

possible.

Of course, many Ming soldiers died among them.

Elephants are extremely smart animals. When they saw their companions dying in battle, they immediately changed direction and ran towards the rear.

Meng Ying was overjoyed and said: "What a great Guo Deng, he really lives up to the reputation of Wu Dinghou."

Guo Dengnai was the successor of Wuding Marquis Guo Ying and was brought out from the capital camp by Meng Ying.

However, this was not the time to talk about this. Meng Ying led the cavalry and drove the war elephants to attack the Luchuan battle formation.

Ren Sifa suddenly became anxious and immediately ordered the firearms on the front line to open fire. He didn't know how many firearms were fired at once, driving the elephants away.

As soon as Meng Ying heard the sound of this firearm, she knew it was the standard firearm of the Ming army, and secretly cursed in her heart: "Mu Ang deserves to die."

If it weren't for Mu Ang's defeat, where would Luchan's army have so many firearms? After all, firearms in this era are high-tech weapons, and Luchuan would never make them.

But Meng Ying was even faster and faster. There was no hint of slowness.

The reason is very simple. Meng Ying bet that the Lucchuan Army was not familiar with firearms training. When dealing with cavalry, they had to continuously output firepower. However, only the Shenji Battalion among the Beijing camps had this ability.

It's definitely not what these Luchuan barbarians can do if they just come into contact with firearms.

The most likely possibility is that they will empty all the firearms in one go, leaving a huge gap before launching the next wave.

Even many armies of the Ming Dynasty had this problem.

Meng Ying knew it all too well.

And Meng Ying really made the right bet.

When the cavalry brigade of the Ming Army broke through the smoke and charged into the Lucchuan Army, the Lucchuan Army did not react at all. The Ming Army cavalry was divided into several teams, trying to divide the Lucchuan Army into several sections in one go.

In terms of numbers, it was clear that the Luchuan Army had an absolute advantage, but the Lucchuan Army felt like it was being surrounded.

Luchuan was shaken.

Meng Ying pressed forward aggressively, and for a moment the two armies were fighting each other.
Chapter completed!
