Chapter 1056 1051 [No solution to the charge of dead soldiers](2/2)

Xiao Weili immediately called Li Tiansheng and ordered Li Tiansheng to lead the elite cavalry to the west to fight the Ming Dynasty Xiaoqi who were surrounding them.

He thought that the Ming army was going to attack the camp and burn his food, grass and baggage.

However, the Ming army's cavalry abandoned their camp and went directly to the main battlefield, causing Xiao Weili to be attacked from both sides.

On the watchtower of the main force of the Ming army, the soldier responsible for observing the battlefield said: "A large number of enemy cavalry are heading west!"

Li Yanxian smiled and said: "General Chen Ziyi has arrived, let's attack too!"

Wu Jie's light chariot battalion (unicycle chariots) still acted as the vanguard, and the heavy chariot battalions (side chariots) of each army followed behind.

On the battlefield, the four-wheel sidecars were not pulled by mules, but pushed forward by soldiers.

The overall advancement speed is not fast, but it keeps pushing forward.

Zhang Xian of Li Bao's faction led 10,000 troops as a rear army to guard against enemies coming from Gaochang City at any time.

The main forces of both sides were getting closer and closer, and after entering the range of Fran's cannon, Wu Jie's tank battalion began to show off its power.

He had a large army to support him, and he completely ignored the flanks and rear. All 120 tanks were deployed and formed into a highly offensive formation.

The entire front line is like a tilde. The chariots protruding from the front fire their cannons, and the chariots recessed in the formation move forward. The cycle goes back and forth, firing cannons and advancing until the enemy's formation is penetrated.

The front army formation of the Western Liao reinforcements was under bombardment all the time, as if Wu Jie's artillery shells would never stop.

After getting closer, the muskets also started firing.

Fighting and fighting, the formation was in chaos.

Li Yanxian saw the opportunity and ordered: "Heavy the chariot camp, abandon the chariots and speed up, and the cavalry of each unit will protect the two wings."

Xiao Weili, on the other hand, had facial muscles twitching wildly. He could still handle the large array of sidecars, but he was too bulky and slow to move. If he couldn't win, he could just run away.

But Wu Jie's one-wheeled chariot made Xiao Weili completely crazy.

This thing can maintain a stacked formation, firing guns and pushing forward at the same time, so that the enemy in front of you is always under bombardment.

Fortunately, Wu Jie deliberately suppressed the speed of artillery fire, kept the temperature of the gun barrel, and waited until he was close to dozens of steps before firing a group of big guns. Therefore, the front army of Xiliao was only in chaos and had not been directly defeated!

The cannons imitated by Xiliao were very heavy and made of copper.

There were only four imitations in total, all of which were kept in Hu Sihan's ears. They were not brought with them this time because they were rushed to the rescue in a hurry. Even if they were brought, Xiao Weili felt that they were of little use.

There are also firearms, which can crush the Ming army in numbers, and there are also various supporting tactics.

The entire front line of the Ming army was pushed forward little by little. Just when Wu Jie ordered to replace the shotguns, Li Tiansheng suddenly returned with the cavalry.

"Why did you come back so quickly?" Xiao Weili asked.

Li Tiansheng said: "I led the cavalry over. Before I met the Ming army's armored cavalry, some light cavalry reported that the enemy was heading south. I have all the elite cavalry in my hands and I dare not be moved too far away from the battlefield by the enemy."

Xiao Weili said: "This battle is difficult to fight, and the front army is in a state of disgrace. You...forget it, let's talk about it after the battle."

Xiao Weili wanted to remind Li Tiansheng to preserve the elite cavalry. Those elite cavalry were the foundation of Xiliao's rule. He was already prepared to flee after defeat.

If he could escape back to Husihan'er'er, he would advise Empress Gan Tian not to fight in the open fields with the Ming army anymore, but to defend the mountain passes east of Gyeongsang Province.
