Li Laiheng divided the vanguard into two parts, one guarded the ferry and followed the central army to cross the river, and the other began to line up, preparing to attack the Annan people's formation head-on.

With the commander's order, the flag flew over, and the troops of five regiments came out of the array, and two regiments were lined up as horizontal lines.

The array was soon completed, and drums were heard in the army. Two rows of Chinese soldiers advanced with muskets and pedaled the drum beats.

The entire legion was not fast, but thousands of people did not say a word. Following the instructions of the flag, they took the same steps. Compared with the messy formation of the Annan people, the difference between the strong army was immediately revealed.

The sound of drum beats and the steps of thousands of people moving forward together, a solemn aura came to his face, and the Annan people's musket team became a little more messy.

Fifty steps have already entered the range of the mesh gun, but at this distance, for the Annan people's mesh gun, the hit rate is almost better than nothing.

For the Chinese Army's muskets, the hit rate is far higher than that of the meteorite.

However, the command did not sound, the Chinese army was still moving forward quietly, and the Annan people were also moving forward hurriedly. If they wanted to maximize the firepower of the mesh gun, they needed to advance within thirty steps.

At forty steps, the Chinese army called the order, and the entire legion and drums stopped at the same time. The Annan people were still moving forward in panic, with a mess of noises.

But Li Laiheng would not give the other party a chance. At a distance of 40 steps, the Chinese army's musket hit rate had reached the maximum. If you approach it, it would be just a waste of time to give the other party a chance.

"preparation!"

A long command sounded, and the entire Chinese military formation clattered, and at the same time raised the musket and aimed the black muzzle at the Annan people.

The scene was so depressing that it was creepy that Annan Musketeers became more and more panicked, and the formation was shaking and became more and more messy.

"put!"

In just a few moments, the password sounded.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of muskets suddenly rang out, and the bullets whistled out, and the distance of forty steps was only a blink of an eye.

The Annan people moving forward fell down almost at the same time, crying and screaming loudly. The remaining Annan people were frightened by such a bloody scene and stopped for a moment and stood there in a daze.

The Chinese soldiers stopped and began to put down their guns and load ammunition. For the Annan people, they took this opportunity to quickly enter thirty steps, and then fired guns at the Chinese army. With the advantage of the number of people, they could still fight.

Commander Annan dodged behind the soldiers while cursing and urging the soldiers to move forward.

Under the commander's scolding, the Annan people raised their feet tremblingly, stepped over the ground, died, or screamed wildly, and marched forward again.

At a distance of forty steps, the power of a volley can almost destroy a person's mind. Li Laiheng originally thought that a wave of volleys could defeat the Annan people, but he did not expect that these people did not collapse.

The Annan people advanced to thirty steps and stopped hurriedly. At this time, the Chinese soldiers had already loaded.

Both sides issued orders almost at the same time, and raised their guns to aim at each other.

"put!"

It was hard to tell who fired the gun first, this time there was an even more deafening gunfire. There seemed to be an invisible sickle in the air, and it suddenly waved among the crowd on both sides.

Nearly a hundred people in the first row of Chinese troops were shot and fell to the ground, and screams suddenly rang out.

The Annan people opposite were even more miserable. They had a volley at thirty steps, and there were two thousand soldiers in the front.

Just like harvested wheat fields, almost all fell down.

The Annan people had never seen such a terrifying scene. Some soldiers were nervous and shouted and fled to the rear. The commander shouted and cursed, but it was useless. More soldiers began to escape to the rear, and the Annan people began to collapse.

The Chinese army suffered only one or two hundred casualties, and the Annan musketeers had nearly four thousand casualties. This was no longer a teacher beat the apprentice, but a father beat the son.

After defeating the musketeers, Li Laiheng took back his troops and began to treat the wounded soldiers.

The central army was constantly crossing the river. Commander Annan knew that if most of the Chinese army crossed the river, the battle would be even more impossible. He hurriedly brought the defeated soldiers to the back formation, and a large number of soldiers holding long swords and spears gathered in front of the formation.

The Annan people sent five elephants to line up in the middle with many soldiers riding pony. Many soldiers were arranged on both sides, adjusting their formations well and pressing towards the Chinese army.

When Li Laiheng saw that the Annan people were riding a horse that was less than one person in height, carrying a thin black Annan soldier, he couldn't help but say, "This Annan people are just thin and urinating, and even the horses are so short."

According to the order of the flag, the Chinese soldiers also began to change their formations, from two to three rows, and all put the guns loaded with gunpowder on their chests, and could only give orders from the commander.

As soon as the Annan people entered the range, the flag quickly waved. The first row of Chinese soldiers raised their guns and aimed, then fired their guns with a "bang", then the second row stepped forward and raised their guns and shot, followed by the third round. In this way, the three-stage shooting maintained the continuity of firepower.

The Annan people rushed towards the Chinese army with guns and bullets, waving their long swords.

Seeing that the musketeers were getting closer, they dodged to both sides and pushed out twenty two-wheeled trolleys from behind the formation. The trolleys were filled with honeycomb muzzles as thick as buckets. It was the Chinese army's mother and son who fired guns in succession.

After the mother and son fired their guns, a soldier lit the medicine pool, and the blue smoke of gunpowder rose up, and the guns immediately fired "tick" and kept firing forward.

A mother-in-law fired guns in succession, with 7749 barrels. One fire was equivalent to forty-nine soldiers firing at the same time. After the bullet was fired, you just need to remove the bullet disc at the tail and you can quickly shoot again.

Twenty mothers and children fired guns in succession, poured bullets at the Annan people, and the Annan people who rushed to the front were immediately beaten up.

Five elephants were swept by bullets, and the flesh and blood were splattered. The dying elephant immediately got angry, ran and trampled around, and then fell heavily, trampling to death and killing a large number of Annan people.

The formation of the Annan people was in chaos. Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Laiheng ordered, "Press up in the musket formation, grenadiers follow and break them up!"

The musketeers immediately lined up to approach the Annan people and shot. Before the battle, they had been beaten everywhere. The Annan soldiers were already depressed, but now they saw this scene and retreated in a crowded manner.

In this way, the grenadiers cannot reach the throwing range at all. Instead, the musketeers can always maintain a safe distance, shoot calmly, load and advance, and shoot again!

Soon, the arrival of the central army began to form an array to join the battle group, and crossed the Annan people from both wings.

The Annan people no longer had the fighting spirit, and the rest of the troops retreated one after another and began to flee the battlefield.

"The enemy is broken, press on it, don't give them a chance to breathe!"

When Li Laiheng saw the battle situation, he shouted loudly, sending out all the remaining five regiments of soldiers and horses in his hand, chasing the fleeing Annan soldiers and killing them all the way to Beijiang City.

When thousands of troops cross the river, the war on the shore has ended, and the flag of the vanguard is far away

Flying far away, moving rapidly towards Beijiang City.

Soon there was a return from the soldiers, and the Annan soldiers had completely fled. The Annan people who had no intention of fighting fled all the way westward, and were unwilling to enter when they passed by Beijiang City, so they had given up Beijiang City directly.

Wanjun led his men to Beijiang City, and saw countless food and fodder piled up in the city. I thought that the Annan people planned to fight a protracted war with the Chinese army here.

Wanjun left some troops in the city, guarded the supplies and treated the wounded, continued to transport heavy equipment such as artillery and other heavy equipment. Then he personally led the central army and followed Li Laiheng's vanguard to attack the Annan King Capital.

The situation of the Beijiang Battle quickly spread to the capital of Annan. Li Weiqi, the king of Li Chao, gritted his teeth and forced himself to listen to his subordinates' reports on military information. Before he could hear it, his face was so angry that he turned blue and his eyes fell to the ground.

The retainers and guards on the side were startled. Everyone rushed forward, and they were slacking off their chests and pinched the people again. They finally woke Li Weiqi up.

Li Weiqi opened his godless eyes, looked at everyone beside him, and said weakly, "What else should I do to wake me up?"

The retainer said, "Take care of my king!"

Li Weiqi suddenly stood up and kicked the man down, "Please protect your father's weight, the Chinese are coming, and the 350,000 army was beaten and collapsed in one day. Will I cut my head for them?"

The ministers quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe for a moment.

Li Weiqi said hysterically, "Waste, waste, are all wastes. 350,000 soldiers and horses will be defeated in one day, even 350,000 pigs will be caught by the Chinese, and they will not be caught in one day."

The hall was silent. Li Weiqi's figure shook a few times and turned back to the throne, "Where are the soldiers of the Ruan and Mo?"

The ministers still knelt down, buried their heads on the ground without saying a word. Li Weiqi roared angrily, "Are you dead when you speak?"

A minister raised his head and cried, "Beijiang was defeated in one day, mostly because of the Ruan Chengfu of the Ruan family. Our army blocked the Chinese army from crossing the river. However, the vanguard was defeated for a while. Ruan Chengfu brought his troops and horses to retreat. As soon as the Ruan family fled, Mo family fled, and our army collapsed."

Li Weiqi said angrily, "Damn Ruan, if Annan dies, where can they escape?"

The minister said, "The Ruan family has gone south and fled to Qinghua. The Mo family seems to beg for surrender from the Chinese people!"

Li Weiqi smiled miserably, "This is the trick of the Chinese. Annan is divided into three families. Even if they are united together, they still have three thoughts. How to fight the enemy with one mind?"

All the ministers said in unison, "Now that Ruan has fled and Mo has surrendered, how can we resist it? My king should send a surrender form earlier, and don't fall behind."

Before Li Weiqi could make a statement, a minister jumped up suddenly, but it was Hu Shiqing, the counselor of the Shishishi, shouting, "How can you be so greedy for life and death? Let's go out and fight with the Chinese people, and live and die with the king!"

The ministers pointed at Hu Shiqing together and said, "If you want to die, die, why should you drag my king to death?"

Li Weiqi raised his hand to stop everyone's quarrel, "The 350,000 soldiers in Beijiang were defeated, and we will defend the city to the death. It will only increase the anger of the Chinese people. Let's surrender."

What else Hu Shiqing wanted to say, Li Weiqi said angrily, "Did you forget Yang Fengming?"

At that time, Wanjun asked someone to pull Yang Fengming out of the hall and shoot his head with a gun on the steps. A large piece of blood and meat sprinkled with it. Until now, all the ministers dare not walk from the steps when they go to court.

Hearing the three words Yang Fengming, Hu Shiqing shrank his neck and never dared to say anything again.
