The soldiers of the Western Army attacked the top of the mountain, which was already in a very unfavorable position. Without the cover of wooden shields, their slow figures were like living targets, and were shot to the ground by rows of muskets!

Therefore, the third batch of charge soldiers not only did not reach the distance of forty steps, but were even firmly suppressed at sixty or seventy steps! After more than 200 casualties, the soldiers of the Daxi Army had to retreat. As for the fourth batch of soldiers, they were even more miserable! They were simply nailed to a distance of 80 steps by muskets and did not make any progress!

The muskets used by Shandong soldiers are very powerful. Within a distance of about 80 steps, ordinary shields cannot resist at all! Thicker shields will be cracked and broken! Thinner shields will be directly penetrated by lead bullets and then shot into the body of the soldier behind the shield!

Seeing that the war had become like this, Liu Haikuan was as big as a fight! He had to stop the fifth group of soldiers who were preparing to charge. Anyway, they would be killed in vain when they sent them up, so it would be better to retreat and think of a solution.

After the battle, Liu Haikuan gathered his subordinates to discuss the battle matter again, but what made him desperate was that no matter how he roared or intimidated everyone, no one could come up with an idea!

On the contrary, the reason they listed almost convinced Liu Haikuan! Because the opponent's guns and cannons were sharp, if they wanted to defeat the opponent, they had to rush into the opponent's position, so that the opponent's guns and cannons could not exert their power!

But the most critical problem is here! If they are on the flat ground, they have countless ways to get close to each other, such as knife chariots, carriages or other similar things that can block the other party's shooting. Although it requires a certain amount of sacrifice, they can get close to each other in the end!

But this time the position was on the hillside, and heavy equipment like a car could not be pushed up at all! The only thing they could rely on was the thick wooden shield! Even this kind of wooden shield required three or four people to exert force together to hold it in their hands!

Moreover, this kind of wooden shield cannot be made too heavy! If it is too heavy, the soldiers will completely lose their speed and become a trick! But if they have to be thin, they lack sufficient defensive power. If they turn to the camp on the flat ground in the middle of the attack, they will be in danger of being blown up by stone piles.

It's dangerous, no one wants to go! Even if you go, you will be attacked from three sides, and there is no hope of attack! So this completely put Liu Haikuan in a dilemma.

By the end of the meeting, Liu Haikuan had to admit a reality, that is, he had to use his life to win! At this time, a leader said with a bitter face: "The boss, that's right, we can't really use his life to fill in it! There are only these people under our brothers, and they are all filled in. How can we have the brothers in Sichuan to speak!"

Liu Haikuan didn't say anything when he heard this, but just kept touching the hilt of the knife. Among the 30,000 people he brought, nearly 20,000 were his team, which was his direct troops.

After entering Sichuan, although Zhang Xianzhong also reorganized the leaders of his subordinates for a certain amount, he did not completely disperse the troops of each leader. Instead, he took a relatively safe method, which was to mix sand!

Zhang Xianzhong used newly recruited soldiers and officers to mix with the troops of various units and gradually replaced them. At the same time, these people also shouldered the heavy responsibility of differentiating the leaders and soldiers. This is a good game, but the time is too short and the effect is not visible.

Seeing that my words worked, the inference said louder: "Big boss, brothers, all the people here are not outsiders, they are good brothers who have drunk blood wine and kowtowed together! So I will never cheat everyone! It is natural to fight for Your Majesty, but we must also protect our own wealth and glory first!"

Everyone nodded and said yes after hearing what he said, and they all felt that he was right. Liu Haikuan waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Then what are your thoughts?"

The leader said, "My idea is to send the people who are involved in the mountains to attack the mountain! We have died a lot of people today, so let them go tomorrow! If those who lead the team die on the battlefield, we will replenish the soldiers in our own team! In the future, when we stand in recruiting people, we will all arrange them in our own brothers' team!"

When everyone heard this, they patted the table and slapped them, saying that he was a good military advisor! This man also bowed everywhere proudly, as if he was really a military advisor!

Bang Hai Kuan Thinking

After a while, he finally gritted his teeth and adopted his method. In the afternoon, he sent someone to continue attacking the hill on the right. But unlike in the morning, Liu Haikuan sent a supervisory team this time!

Under the pressure of the reading team, the Western Army once approached the first wooden fence. Fortunately, the Shandong soldiers were prepared for a long time, and the artillery completely defeated them with a round of shotgun!

The subsequent battle was a bit unremarkable! After three rounds of continuous impact, the edge of the first wooden fence was not even touched! Bang Haibang bacteria had to remove them and trim them.

Now the 30,000 troops have taken turns to fight, and about 5,300 people have been killed in battle, and the number of minor injuries is almost the same. There are still hundreds of people who are seriously injured. I wonder if they can survive!

When Dao returned, Liu Haikuan was furious in the tent! Everyone lowered their heads and listened to his loud scolding, and no one refuted it! But in this way, they still couldn't think of any good way.

And what you don’t know is that there is another reason why Liu Haikuan is so angry. This evening, he received a notice that Liu Wenxiu was leading the army!

If he had no achievements before Liu Wenxiu arrived, it would be difficult for him to explain it! Especially since he had not made any progress with such heavy casualties, it would be even more unreasonable!

The overly angry Liu Haikuan finally calmed down. He sent all the leaders away in disappointment and started drinking himself!

Originally, he wanted to use this battle to create his name, but fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong got a good position! He has always liked the title of General Longhu, and now it seems that there is no hope!

The sad and disappointed Liu Haikuan became more and more drunk and finally fell asleep. The entire barracks were filled with an atmosphere of failure! Even the soldiers on patrol responded listlessly. Although the temperature in the Sichuan Basin is a little higher than in the north in winter, it is also limited in height! So everyone would rather doze around the fire.
Chapter completed!
