Four Hundred and Forty-Nine: Return to Xibai (3)

At less than midnight, Zhou Yanbo's army had entered a specific position on the east bank of Liangshui, and at this time the news was being transmitted to Gao Zhide's west bank, and two quarters of an hour later Gao Zhide received the news that Zhou Yanbo had been deployed on standby, but he did not act rashly, because the news said very clearly, the endless horse fences, ramparts and ravines were clearly used to deal with the cavalry led by him.

"It's been almost half an hour...... Xiao Yuan stepped on the horse fence and looked at the west bank of Liangshui from a distance, "The other party is not attacking, and there is no sign of even gathering troops......

"Are you trying to say that we waited in vain?" asked Zhou Fengxue, who was standing on the side.

"Since the immortal lord has already set up a battle here, it means that he has the confidence to wait for Gao Zhide to come over...... So it's just a matter of time, but the wait before the battle is really tormenting. ”

"Yes. Saying that, Zhou Fengxue glanced back at the formation again, Zhou Yanbo was sitting calmly in the formation with his eyes closed, as if he didn't see the battle that was about to happen in front of him.

"Why hasn't the other party attacked yet?" Xiao Yuan kept muttering.

"Sir, I think it's still very dangerous to attack a cavalry with flint lances alone, after all, flint spears and bows and arrows are no different, and once the local cavalry assaults at close range, then they will only be slaughtered. ”

"Are you worried about this?" Zhou Yanbo said

Zhou Qiandai nodded: "There is still some distance before the small sound surprise attack on Fuyi, do you want to bring the remaining Shenhuo Battalion and You Yin Army from Xiao Liangdong to help?"

"No, I don't have to. Zhou Yanbo said, "Junyu, you are underestimating Xiao Yuan's Divine Fire Camp by saying this, even if the other party really assaults the Divine Fire Camp in rotation, then it will not be the Divine Fire Camp that suffers." ”

"Why?" Zhou Qiandai was puzzled.

"Because the Divine Fire Battalion in front of you was trained to deal with cavalry from the beginning. Zhou Yanbo opened his eyes and said.

"In the beginning...... Just that?"

"Junyu, you still don't understand flint guns. Zhou Yanbo explained to Zhou Qiandai, "There are two kinds of flint guns designed by Qiu Ning, Adams and Verlun for the Shenhuo Battalion: one is the one you are looking at now, the gun body size is average, the muzzle is large, the shooting distance is closer, but the power is very great, and the people of the Shenhuo Battalion who use this gun are also equipped with a short knife of medium length, so it is suitable for attacking cavalry." ”

"That's right. Zhou Qiandai did look at the person holding the musket, and there was a special knife pinned to his waist.

"The other flintstone gun is longer than what you see now, with a smaller muzzle, so the firing range is also longer, which is suitable for attacking the opposing infantry at a very long distance, in addition to being equipped with a unified handcuff, and you can also use a firearm at very close range. ”

"I see. ”

"When Xiao Yuan formed the Divine Fire Battalion, he thought of everything in every way. ”

While the two of them were talking, Xiao Sheng had successfully attacked Fu Yi and burned the grain, grass and ordnance that had been hoarded here, and the smoke coming out of it could be seen more clearly even from Zhou Yanbo's main formation, which was the farthest away.

"Xiao Sheng's surprise attack was successful, and now Gao Zhide's back road has been cut off. ”

"But this doesn't guarantee that Gao Zhide will fight to the death, if the other party pretends to retreat, and then bites back when we cross the river to pursue, we will still suffer. Zhou Qiandai said.

"No, they'll rush over. Zhou Yanbo said, "Fu Yi was attacked, Gao Zhide was attacked by the enemy, he deliberately retreated at this time to lure us to the bait, it would only accelerate the danger of his belly and back being attacked by the enemy, he had no choice." Zhou Yanbo shook his head.

"Commander, Gao Zhi's German army has begun to prepare for crossing the river!" the herald suddenly reported.

"Look, they're coming. ”

Half an hour after Zhou Yanbo's army entered the predetermined position, Gao Zhide led the whole army to begin to set up and cross the river to attack.

"The other side doesn't seem to be stretching out like us, but attacking in echelons. Zhou Qiandai looked at the approaching Fangzheng Jin Ziqi and said.

"The other party is not stupid, they know that we are waiting for them on purpose, so they have only one goal, which is my own formation, so as long as they break through to the third barrier here in the Shenhuo Camp and attack the main formation, they will win. ”

"Wouldn't this be a dangerous place for our own formation? This distance is only a blink of an eye for the Jin cavalry. ”

"What are you afraid of, just let them come. ”

Looking at the approaching large number of cavalry through the horse fence, Zhou Fengxue felt that the ground was shaking more and more, it was obviously the soft soil after the rain, and it was still able to have such a big movement, the other party was really menacing. Zhou Fengxue couldn't help but glance back at the formation again, and even the snare drums of the formation could see the obvious shaking.

"It's not okay not to focus on the enemy in front of you at this time. Xiao Yuan stared at the dust coming in front of him and said.

"Menacing, how long do you think the front side car and spear can resist?"

"No matter how hard you try, at most you can only resist the opponent's first assault. Xiao Yuan said unceremoniously, "The Divine Fire Camp is going to come in handy at the beginning. ”

"After a cursory look, the opponent attacked in five times, the first and second were light cavalry, the third was infantry and archers, and the fourth and fifth were Jin cavalry. ”

"It was a real effort to break up our formation and then strike the fatal blow. ”

"I guess it's going to be late in the evening by the time it's over. ”

Just as the two people were talking, the first light cavalry had already rushed over, directly swinging their sabers and diving towards the outermost side van in the depression, and the cavalry who rushed in the front row was stopped by the side van, but the cavalry in the second and third rows rushed up one after another began to disrupt the attack rhythm of the side van, and many of the side vans had begun to appear damaged and shifted their positions.

When Xiao Yuan saw that the front-line side van was about to hold up, he pointed to the cavalry in front: "Take advantage of now, shoot!" With Xiao Yuan's order, the Shenhuo battalion in the first row began to shoot in turn, and in an instant, the depression was filled with a huge sound, and the sound was even louder than the thunder, even Zhou Yanbo and Zhou Qiandai, who were in the formation, felt that their ears were stinging and hurt by the sound, and the elderly Zhou Qiandai couldn't stand this sound, so he covered his ears with his hands.

"Shooting together, the power is amazing......" Zhou Yanbo couldn't help but say.

"Aim at the horse, shoot!" Xiao Yuan said loudly as he straightened his arm and pointed at the cavalry opposite.

Zhou Qiandai felt really uncomfortable, and the continuous loud noises seemed to be knocking on his chest, making him feel a little uncomfortable, but because he really shouldn't quit the joint battle halfway, he could only endure it silently.

The first round of Gao Zhide's assault had to retreat because of too much damage, while the first round of retreat, the second round had begun to attack the crippled side van, and the non-stop attack made the side van no longer able to defend against the cavalry assault, and the second round of light cavalry gradually broke through the side van and began to attack the first horse fence behind.

Xiao Yuan made a gesture, Zhou Fengxue, who was in charge of commanding the second horse fence, signaled, drew out the cold water sword and pointed at the light cavalry in front: "Prepare - shoot!" The Divine Fire Battalion of the second horse fence began to shoot in turn, and at the same time, the Divine Fire Battalion of the first line seized the opportunity and followed the second Divine Fire Battalion to launch a round of shooting, and the sound that originally resounded in the sky suddenly doubled.

"It's really spectacular...... Zhou Qiuyu, who was in charge of the Third Divine Fire Battalion, said, "Even the most elite cavalry of the Jin family has never seen so many firearms firing together, and the horses on the opposite side have never heard such a loud sound, they all straightened their front legs to stop the speed and became chaotic, many cavalry were caught off guard and fell off their horses, and many unlucky guys were directly trampled by horses." ”

"It's worthy of a gentleman...... "Zhou Qiunian said.

The firing of the two Shenhuo battalions caused great confusion to the Gao Zhide army of the second attack, although many cavalry rushed to the first barrier, but it was still to no avail, and gradually the cavalry of the second line began to retreat and rest.

"The next step should be the infantry and archers...... Zhou Yanbo said, "In order to cover the Jin cavalry at the rear, Junyu can let the formation support it appropriately." ”

Zhou Qiandai nodded, he could finally stay away from the battlefield a little, and he could take advantage of this time to relieve the discomfort in his chest.

Zhou Qiandai, who left the formation, took a long breath and came to the place on both sides of the formation, the formation located at the highest point of the entire formation, and also the place where the Divine Fire Flying Crows of the Divine Fire Camp were on standby, and a total of ten Divine Fire Flying Crows on the left and right of the formation were already on standby, and it was Zhou Ke who commanded them.

"Next is the infantry, using the Divine Fire Flying Crow to ease the front and deal with the Jin cavalry behind. Zhou Qiandai said to Zhou Ke.

"It's been ready for a long time. Zhou Ke said and waved his hand, the Divine Fire Crow aimed at the Gao Zhide Army who attacked for the third time, and the Divine Fire Crow that flew out exploded in the air, turning into countless sparks and falling everywhere, greatly delaying the opponent's attack, it was indeed giving Xiao Yuan a chance for them to prepare to deal with it, and the side car in front of it also barely re-hooked the defense, but the fourth attack and the third attack were mixed together and rushed towards Zhou Yanbo's army.

The dilapidated side van collapsed at the touch of a button, and Gao Zhi's German army quickly rushed to the first horse barrier.

"Shoot!" This time, the three horse fences shot at the same time, although the horse fence deeply inserted into the soil played a role in preventing the Jin cavalry to a certain extent, but the cavalry seized the gap between the horse fences to prevent the horse fence and rushed into the first horse fence, and the Shenhuo battalion at the front had already begun to use short knives for close combat.

Although the two confluent attacks had a great impact on Zhou Yanbo's army, and a small number of Jin cavalry even broke through directly in front of the third horse guard, they still couldn't resist the fierce attack of firearms and retreated, and at this time, the fifth round of cavalry, which was delayed by the Shenhuo Flying Crow, had already begun to attack.

"Sir, this formation is already very dangerous!" Zhou Qiandai said, "The first and second horse barriers will definitely not be able to stop the last round of attacks, if you go straight through the third horse barrier, this formation will be exposed." ”

"How's the damage?"

"The first line is very damaged, the second and third lanes are fine, but the damage to the horse fence is more serious, especially the first and second lanes, I am afraid that they can't resist the onslaught of the Jin cavalry, and the excessive use of flint guns for such a long time makes many firearms unusable. ”

"Tell Yizhi to get ready, and once the opponent breaks through to the second barrier, he will immediately close the fence!"

"Yes. ”

At this time, Xiao Sheng's knife should be about to plunge into the opponent's back. ”
