0839 Kong Youde's thoughts

While the cavalry was struggling, the rebel infantry phalanx also rushed to Liu Pei's front! Before that, the artillery group had already fired a large number of shotguns, setting off a monstrous blood wolf in the ranks of the rebels!

But the rebels were worried that the cavalry was attacking the opponent's flank, so they held on! The artillerymen fired the last round of shotguns, and then, under the orders of the officers, dragged the artillery into the phalanx.

This shows the benefits of Napoleonic guns! With two wide wheels and a light gun body, a few soldiers can pull it away! The gunners were not idle inside the phalanx, quickly adjusting the elevation angle of the guns, and still firing shells outward!

At this time, the morale of the rebel soldiers was extremely low. Although they tried to move forward and forced Liu Pei's gunners to evacuate, they still had to be hit by the rounds of firecrackers! Although they were also shooting arrows and firing birds, the non-barrage shots could only cause sporadic casualties, and the bows and arrows were bounced off the plate armor and helmets! Now they were only reluctant to do so because they saw the cavalry charge successfully.

But just as they were breathing a sigh of relief, they heard the soldiers on the opposite side shouting, "The cavalry is defeated!" The cavalry is defeated! ”

The rebel soldiers raised their eyes one after another, and sure enough, they saw a lot of scattered cavalry fleeing in all directions, and there was no such momentum as they had just now! The last shred of courage was taken away by the fleeing cavalry!

And at this moment, Liu Pei's soldiers became excited! Although they did not see the sight of the cavalry annihilating in the rear, they were full of confidence in their companions, and they cheered and fired two consecutive volleys under the command of the officer!

The rebel soldiers were instantly beaten to the ground! What little bit of morale there was was gone! The rebel soldiers at the front began to retreat with a "boom", not to be precise, but to be exact, not to retreat, but to flee!

Thousands of people fled without formation, and even discarded weapons, armor, drums, horns, and the like! Especially those abandoned flags, which look extremely desolate when they cover the corpses!

When the soldiers saw that the rebels had been repulsed, they let out deafening cheers! They even chased the rebels in the back and fired a volley.

Kong Youde can be described as heartbroken! He couldn't help himself with excitement when he saw his own cavalry approaching Liu Pei's phalanx! He even thought of sparing his life after catching Liu Pei for the sake of his years of friendship! But ask him to hand over the method of casting the guns and cannons.

But in the blink of an eye, the form suddenly changed! Just when he saw Liu Pei's phalanx suddenly erect countless bayonets, he knew that his cavalry was finished! Because Kong Youde knew that his cavalry definitely did not have the courage to rush to the death! And if you can't break through the opponent's phalanx, your own cavalry can only be passively slaughtered!

Kong Youde's cavalry was temporarily gathered, and there was a lack of systematic training. Only some of them are Kong Youde's old foundations, and most of them are just horse thieves who have just gathered. It's okay to follow him to rob the house, but if it's really a tough battle, it's really not good.

Just as Kong Youde expected, as soon as the two sides met together, a tragedy was staged under his eyes!

Liu Pei's infantry phalanx was like a mountain of spitting flames, and his own cavalry was smashed like waves hitting the mountain of swords!

Kong Youde closed his eyes in pain! Originally, he still felt that the quality of his soldiers should be similar to Liu Pei, or even stronger! Because he knew too well the situation in the various health centers, which had long since become rotten like mud.

Liu Pei trained these people, and he was definitely not the opponent of his own soldiers who had seen blood. But I didn't expect the other party's firearms to be extremely sharp! Especially those dozens of artillery, which are like the scythe of death to harvest the lives of soldiers!

Since Kong Youde stepped into the battle formation, he has survived by licking blood with a knife! But he never thought that firearms would be so sharp? This unheard-of method of firearms warfare simply subverted Kong Youde's outlook on life.

Kong Youde had to face a painful fact, that is, he was defeated! However, what made him happy was that the other party was all infantry, and the pursuit speed would not be fast, and he should be able to take a large number of people and withdraw to Pingdu City. After all, there are still a few thousand people in Pingdu, and there is still a chance to fight when they gather!

Kong Youde opened his eyes, regained his composure and said, "Intercept the rout, don't let them mess up the formation!" In the main formation two

Side shackle them! ”

The people around him immediately scattered to gather the thousands of soldiers. Kong Youde, on the other hand, began to ponder how to retreat. But Kong Youde knew that he had to stabilize his position before retreating, otherwise he would be disrupted by the other party, and if he chased and killed, it would be a big defeat and a loss!

However, Kong Youde is confident that he will bring the team back. He even thought about ambushing Liu Pei once on the way back. And he firmly believes that Liu Pei will not come to pursue him. After all, the two sides are now about the same strength. Maybe Liu Pei will rush up and play for a while, and then it will be enough to throw him some defenders at most.

Therefore, Kong Youde was relieved and boldly sent out all the people around him to collect the rout. At the same time, he was very happy to see that Liu Pei's three phalanxes did not pursue and still maintained the original formation. In this way, Kong Youde was much more relieved.

He began to look to the sides and saw his own soldiers and officers of all ranks gathering the rout. These people are also battle-hardened figures, and they have also been taught by Kong Youde. They first quickly surrounded a large number of routs, and then pulled out a small number of them, and randomly lit a small flag to take charge. Then a team of them got them to stand.

The panicked routs need someone to preside over them. At this time, whenever someone gives them a command, they will obey. Therefore, on both sides of Kongyou Deben Town, two phalanxes are slowly taking shape. Even the routs who fled around saw that this side had stabilized, and they also spontaneously gathered over.

Kong Youde looked in the direction of Liu Pei with cold eyes. At this time, Liu Pei's main formation had been restored to its original position, and it was still a zigzag formation.

Kong Youde was still wondering if he was leaving Liu Pei with a few very cruel words, when he suddenly saw that the three phalanxes started almost at the same time, and slowly pressed in his direction!

Kong Youde couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it! At this time, he gathered all his soldiers into three phalanxes. However, the two phalanxes on both flanks were completely unable to fight, and they were in a situation of collapse at the touch of a button. And even his own main formation can't block the impact of the other party.

Kong Youde thought for a moment and then ordered: "Order the gunners to prepare to open fire, and the bird guns are in the front row." Let the people of the two phalanxes on the left and right retreat first. Watch your speed and don't let them go too fast! ”
