The Yi soldiers' crossbows were not worse than those of the Ming army, and they were even slightly better than those of the Ming army. The crossbows were obviously stronger than those of the Ming army's shooters.

But since the Ming army had firearms, it had never vigorously developed crossbows, and the soldiers did not pursue the training of the soldiers to pull out strong bows. Basically, 120 kilograms of bows were already overwhelming.

The most commonly used and widely used by border troops is the Kaiyuan bow, which is a kind of soft bow.

From this we can see that the Ming Dynasty no longer attached much importance to crossbows. Unlike the Song Dynasty, in order to defeat the Tiefutu of the Jin army, it vigorously developed strong bows, as well as bed crossbows, which had single-shot armor-breaking long-range killing weapons.

The toasts located in the southwest seem a little behind due to inconvenience in information and transportation.

For them, crossbows are a very important weapon in the army. Long-range strikes rely entirely on crossbows.

But facing the Yulin Army wearing fine armor and iron shields, the power of their bows and crossbows was greatly reduced. They were shot at a distance of nearly 100 meters, and no matter how powerful the bow was, it was not very powerful.

Fortunately, it can still restrain the attention of the government army. The government army can no longer launch or load gunpowder like before, at least subconsciously avoiding it to relieve their positive pressure.

Seeing Zhang Tong's front army rushing to the front of the official army, She Chongming quickly ordered a large-scale attack, and it was necessary to defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop.

Seeing the rebels attacking them, Qin Bangping was not panicked. Before they could fight, they had already lost thousands of soldiers and generals. He had no reason to panic.

"The Hu Ben soldiers went to fight, followed the battle technique of the Yuanyang Formation, formed a formation to defend, and killed all these rebels!"

The Yuanyang Formation is the tactic of the Qi family army, which is a combination of hot and cold weapons and elite soldiers. It is most practical for small-scale military tactics in this era. Zhu Youxiao will not waste Qi Jiguang's efforts.

What's more, there are already three thousand Zhejiang soldiers in the Yulin Army. Although they are not as invincible as the Qi family army, they are also rare and powerful elites. They are naturally easy to capture this kind of daily practice tactic.

When teaching other troops to practice, you can combine practical experience and continuously improve it.

Although most of the Ten Thousand Hu Ben Army were just new recruits who had been trained for several months, it was not a problem to deal with chieftain soldiers who had overwhelming advantages.

Moreover, in this terrain, the mandarin duck array is indeed the only choice. Just form five small arrays to build a solid line of defense.

The Yi soldiers had never seen such a formation. Even the official army did not recognize some of the weapons. They thought it was the official army pretending to be a ghost, so they all rushed forward with the swords and spears in their hands.

As a result, they died inexplicably under the sword of the government army, and they didn't even have the chance to fight back.

After several waves of people died in succession, these Yi soldiers were finally scared and showed panic expressions. They grabbed the weapons in their hands, but they were still unable to move forward. No one dared to go up and die.

They dared to charge against the artillery fire of the government army because they could see hope of victory and believed that the government army relied on the firearms and nothing extraordinary.

Everyone was thinking in their hearts that as long as I could rush over alive, I would definitely be able to kill all directions and defeat the official army.

But now they rushed over, but as soon as they fought with the government army, they were already scared.

Moreover, in the Ming army's rear formation, artillery was still firing, bombing their rear army wantonly. The Ming army on both sides were also constantly firing with muskets, surrounded in a nearly semicircle shape.

Fortunately, She Chongming's follow-up troops followed. If Qin Bangping was given some time, they could wipe out the rebels here.

Qin Bangping quickly adjusted his deployment, with the Yuanyang formation as the central fulcrum, guarding the artillery behind the rear, so that the gunners of the Shenji Battalion could safely continue to bombard the Shergian rear army, causing damage and disintegrating the morale of the army.

Then he used heavy armored soldiers as the front army, and the Hu Ben soldiers followed behind him, and the rebels who were several times more powerful than him attacked and killed them.

The reason why Qin Bangping, such a steady person, dares to attack more with less is that he has the advantage of time, place, people, morale, military morale, and weapons.

The emperor told them many battles of winning with less and turning defeat into victory in desperate situations.

Your Majesty told them personally that winning with less is not easy. First of all, you need to have strong conditions, which means that the army must be able to fight, and it is the kind of person who treats death as if he is ten.

Although the Yulin Army was far from this level, its elite force was still considered high, and the enemy troops on the opposite side were not as many as them in any aspect.

When ancient people fought wars, they often talked about the so-called right time, place, people and people. It really makes sense. Even in later generations, when fighting a small-scale war, many factors must be considered and do their best to ensure that their army can win.

This is what Qin Bangping is now. His position is excellent at this time. He can enter and exit heavy troops to fight the enemy in decisive battles, and retreat can rely on the leading weapons and the advantages of terrain to defend.

But he has been a general for more than twenty years, but his reputation is not obvious and his official position is not high. It can be said to be a thorn in his heart.

For those who are generals, who don’t want their reputation to spread all over the world and shock the world? Now the opportunity is right in front of him, and he must seize it.

The basin where they are now can accommodate a melee of 30,000 to 40,000 people at most. The mountains and forests on both sides have never been developed. At first glance, they either have trees or jungle grass. If there are too many people, they can't squeeze them out.

Poor that this Shebian dares to rebel with only such military talent. He really doesn't know that the world is so high.

"All the soldiers, the leader of the rebels, She Ni is right in front of you. If anyone can kill or capture She Ni, I will recommend him to be promoted in front of His Majesty, to glorify his family and to be rich and glorious!"

After hearing this, the Yulin soldiers raised their weapons to the sky three times in succession and shouted three times:

"Tiger, tiger, tiger!"

Qin Bangping pointed a long sword, and the Taishan Camp soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding refined machetes rushed out like beasts. In addition, they were wearing ghost masks. Yi soldiers who had never seen such a scene were frightened and frightened for a moment.

The rebels once again felt the gap in equipment. Their swords and guns were rarely able to break through heavy armor. They used all their strength to cut the heavy armor made of fine iron. Except for causing a little pain and scratching the armor sheet, the rest were useless.

Their simple armor covering the chest and back was hard to resist the weapons in the hands of the official army. If one strike, it would be injured even if it was not killed.

The government forces attacked the rebels' fighting spirit and will again and again, and were as terrifying as the devil.

But She Chongming also made up his mind this time. In today's battle, either the official army was destroyed or he was defeated, and he would never take a step back.

When the war reaches this point, it is comparable to who can persist for a longer time, who can withstand his own casualties and fight to the end.

He pulled out his long sword and shouted at his army:

"Anyone who climbs first and kills the chief general of the official army, after the war, I will give him the first Duke of Daliang Kingdom and kill him!"
