On April 16, Xu Yuxian's 24th Division rushed to Xiao County, behind Guo Ruowen's buttocks.

This situation almost caused Guo Ruowen to vomit blood and die on the spot.

Before that, the main force of the Chinese Army was clearly far from Xiaoxian, but now their support has arrived quickly.

But Xuzhou, which is very close to Xiaoxian County, hasn't moved at all.

Such an obvious contrast makes Guo Ruowen angry.

"They are all cowardice, gangsters, and the old man should take part in them."

Guo Ruowen yelled.

For him before, even if he couldn't break through Xiaoxian and rush to Xuzhou, he could still withdraw to Haozhou or Shangqiu.

But now, instead of being flanked back and forth, he can no longer retreat.

Once the retreat is pursued, it will trigger an uncontrollable defeat.

There is only one way to stay in front of him, and that is to fight to the death and make the final struggle.

As for surrender, this is impossible.

In order to strengthen the control of the army, the Qing court deliberately promoted a large number of diehards.

The Qing court is no longer able to take care of whether it is strong or not. Just ask for a loyalty, and don't surrender to Dahua at every turn.

If it were not for this reason, Guo Ruowen, who had been unknown before, could not suddenly become the commander-in-chief of more than 20,000 people.

Not only was he a diehard member of the Qing Dynasty, but all his family members stayed in Beijing.

In order to let his family live a good life, Guo Ruowen was ready to die at any time.

Because of the weakness and incompetence of the main general Wanyan Yechen, they missed the opportunity to wipe out the enemy, and Guo Ruowen fell into desperation.

In desperation, Guo Ruowen could only order a battalion of about 5,000 people to resist the 24th Division of the Chinese Army. Then he personally led the remaining 17,000 people and launched a general offensive against the 25th Division of the Chinese Army.

For him, this total attack means that he will become benevolent if he fails.

The battle of Xiaoxian started.

The battlefield is divided into two parts, one is near Xiaoxian County, and the other is near Maoyang Village who sniped Xu Yuxian, relying on Zhahe to defend.

In this battle, Guo Ruowen needs to complete two major problems, one is to break through Duan Qiming's defense, and the other is to prevent Xu Yuxian from breaking through.

This difficulty, even Guo Ruowen himself did not dare to think about it.

Xiao County does not have a city wall, it is said to be responsible for defense, but Duan Qiming can rely on only a small section of the hillside.

This section of the small hill could not completely block the route of the Qing army, so on the plain on the right side of the hill, Duan Qiming also placed two brigades with a total of 9,000 men.

There are no fortifications and no advantages in the place where these nine thousand people are responsible for defense.

This is the battle in the plains, simple and rude.

Duan Qiming arranged thirty cannons and more than 3,000 soldiers on the hillside, horning each other with the main force on the plain.

If one side is attacked, the other side can attack other positions of the enemy army and besie Wei and save Zhao.

This hillside is a point where Guo Ruowen needs a headache.

If left alone, those artillery can cover the entire battlefield and bombard their infantry continuously.

If you want to solve these artillery, you have to climb the hillside, and you will suffer a little loss.

More importantly, it takes time to attack the hillside.

"Don't worry about the enemies on the mountain, just charge. Don't worry, everyone, the flintlock matchup won't take half an hour, and their cannon won't be able to shoot many rounds.

Either we will defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and then rush over smoothly. Either the enemy will defeat us, then everything will stop. "

Guo Ruowen said.

His subordinates were stunned when they heard the words. Where is it to go to war? It is clear that they are going to exchange their lives. Who is less afraid of death than either side.

The side who is afraid of death will surely collapse first, and the side who is not afraid of death can win the victory at a heavy price.

Although other generals thought that this method was to dance on the tip of a knife, but there was no way, Guo Ruowen made a speech, they could only urge the soldiers to start action.

When the Chinese Army was still three miles away, the Chinese Army’s artillery had already sounded.

However, the hit rate at this distance is still a bit short. Moreover, the number of cannons in the Chinese Army is not large, only thirty.

Compared with an army of nearly 20,000 people, this number can only disgust them, but it cannot decide the situation of the battle.

Under the rebuke of the officer, the soldiers of the Qing army ignored the artillery and moved on.

Soldiers struck by artillery can only consider themselves unlucky.

As the distance gets closer and closer, the hit rate of the artillery is getting higher and higher. Thirty cannons fire once, at least half of the artillery shells can fall into the formation of the Qing army, causing a lot of damage.

However, the firing speed of their artillery was too slow, and it took an average of nearly three minutes to fire one shot.

Infantry training is easy, but artillery training is difficult.

The Chinese Army’s artillery force expanded too quickly, causing personnel training to fail to keep up.

In desperation, some recruits can only be pulled on the battlefield and use actual combat to accumulate experience.

The artillery of Duan Qiming's department were just recruits.

But even these recruits caused great damage to the Qing army.

On average, about 300 people in the Qing army can be reimbursed for each round of shelling.

Carrying the bombardment, the Qing army finally approached the main force of the Chinese army, and the distance between the two sides was already less than 150 meters.

At this distance, the Hua Jun had already started firing guns.

Although the hit rate is not high, it doesn't matter, one earns one, and who makes them the defensive side.

They can stand still, but the Qing army can't stop.

If they stop and shoot at the Chinese army at this distance, the Chinese army will probably laugh out loud.

Because below this distance, the killing efficiency of both sides is very low.

However, the Chinese Army’s artillery has been blasting, so the Chinese Army will take advantage of this kind of shooting.

It is not the first time that the Qing army has used muskets, and they have also learned a lot about the fighting methods of muskets.

Therefore, they did not make such a low-level mistake, but let the soldiers continue to advance.

"Why don't you stop shooting at each other, do you want us to charge toward the flintlock? Isn't that looking for death?"

On the way forward, the soldiers of the Qing army couldn't help but vomit.

Many wars have proved that to charge toward the flintlock troops is to die.

"Stop now, and wait to eat the shells?"

The other soldier sighed.

"Damn, what kind of battle is this fighting? It's too awkward. Don't we already have this advanced weapon, why do we have to suffer such a big loss?"

The other soldier had an urge to vomit blood.

He is a survivor of many wars between Huaqing and Qing Dynasty, and he is super lucky.

But what he couldn't understand was that he obviously had flintlocks now, so why did it still feel exactly the same as before?

And this, in fact, is just Duan Qiming taking advantage of this small weakness that the enemy does not have artillery.

These basic arrangements, those who come from the military academy, are all basic operations.

As Duan Qiming came out of the military academy, any advantage will be fully magnified by him.

The Qing army rushed forward about ninety meters, carrying the casualties.

The distance between the two sides is 60 meters, and the hit rate at this distance is quite impressive.

The main reason is that the formation of the two sides is dense. Except for those bullets that fly too high or too low, they can't hit people. Left or right has no effect. Anyway, there are people around.

The Qing army stopped at this distance and began to shoot at the Chinese army, and then the soldiers could not stand it anymore.

At this distance, you can fight with the Huajun to see who can't stand it first.

As for the one-point kill of the Chinese Army’s artillery, it can almost be ignored in such a confrontation.

Next, it is time to queue for shooting.
