One of the five battalions of the left side of the revolution said that it was gone, and the leaders of the remaining battalions looked a little unpleasant.

Ma Shouying swept around and said lightly: "Is there anyone else going to play forward?" ”

The remaining three leaders, you look at me, I'll look at you again, no one jumps out and pretends to be big.

After seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Ge Li Yan He Yilong said: "Master Ma, the artillery of this dog officer and soldier is too fierce, how should we fight?" ”

Ma Shouying groaned: "The artillery in front of the thieves and soldiers is fierce, then we can copy their back road!" ”

One of the old battalion spies slapped his face inappropriately and said: "Master Ma, there is no artillery on both flanks of the officers and soldiers, but they all have that kind of ditch!" ”

Zuojin Wang He Jin said: "If there is no artillery, let people fill the pit and go directly!" ”

But then again, who's going to be on this time? For a moment, the leaders were silent again.

Seeing that everyone was cowering, Ma Shouying spoke: "If the battalion takes the lead in taking Lu'an this time, half of the population in the city will belong to him, and the rest of the family's property will be divided equally!" ”

Hearing him say this, several people suddenly became energetic and began to rush to the main attack, half of the population in the city, at least tens of thousands of troops can be replenished!

In the end, the loudest Gerry Eye, He Yilong, won and obtained the task of the main attack, and he also led 20,000 horses and horses in his headquarters and began to attack the left flank of the Tianwu Army.

Without the suppression of artillery, He Yilong began to make good progress, and soon reached the front of the first trench, and the hungry soldiers began to prepare to fill the pit, He Yilong felt that the hope of defeating the Tianwu army was in front of him.

However, this hope was quickly dashed, they had already entered the firing range of the musketeers of the Tianwu Army, with the sound of a thunderbolt horn, accompanied by the sound of dozens of tiger squatting cannons, bullets and shells like raindrops, overwhelmingly hit the thieves, this wave went down, and a large number of thieves immediately fell.

When a salvo is fired, it takes time to reload after each round, and there is a short buffer time, so the quicker thieves will take the opportunity to dodge or lie on the ground to avoid the shells, and then rush forward after the shelling, and so on.

However, after the muskets began to fire, they were round after round, and the density and rate of fire were far greater than that of the artillery, and the thieves fell one after another as soon as they rushed to the first line of trenches, and the casualties increased sharply.

Dozens of tiger squat cannons are also loaded with shotguns with a large killing range, although the power is not as good as the Hongyi cannon and the Franco machine gun, but in the face of the thieves who are only wearing a layer of short shirts, the distance is about 100 steps, and the lethality is still very strong.

After each round of shotgun bombardment, the bands of thieves were swept across a large area, a large number of corpses piled up in an area in front of the trenches, and blood slowly spread across the dry ground and flowed into the cracks.

The hot air, mixed with the smell of blood, was disgusting, and it was difficult for the thieves to advance with every step, and after several rounds of bullet rain, someone finally rushed to the first trench, and the clever people were not in a hurry to fill the pit, but went directly into the trench to avoid the guns and shells of the officers and soldiers.

Under the fierce fire of the musketeers of the Tianwu Army, the will to resist finally collapsed, and the soldiers turned around and fled back in defeat despite the shouts of the supervising team behind them, while the Tianwu Army took the opportunity to shoot again and killed hundreds of thieves again, and then stopped firing.

He Yilong was not as stupid as Lin Yangcheng, he had been staying in the rear to watch the battle, far away from the battlefield, seeing that the hungry soldiers in the front were defeated, he could only order the Ma army and the old battalion soldiers to withdraw.

He Yilong knew very well that the dog would jump over the wall when he was in a hurry, and if he let the supervising team continue to supervise the battle and kill people, he was afraid that the retreating hungry soldiers would attack the old battalion soldiers, which would not be good, and the whole army would be in chaos.

Tens of thousands of troops retreated like a tide, leaving only hundreds of rogues in the trenches with bewildered faces, who struggled with great effort and exhausted half of their luck before they finally rushed into the first trench, and their own people retreated......

"The leader of this dog day, said that he was blessed and shared with hardship, and now he has sold us directly!

The rogues in the trenches are scolding and scolding, now they can't advance or retreat, the position is very awkward, if there are no reinforcements coming, maybe the dog officers and soldiers will come and cut off their heads......

When all the defeated troops returned to their own formation, He Yilong asked people to roughly count them, and found that there were more than 3,000 people in this wave, and the attack just now took less than two quarters of an hour!

This result made He Yilong very surprised, he never expected that the loss in such a short period of time would be so big, compared to the cannon fodder Wang Lin cultivation, he was not as long-lasting as him, which made He Yilong feel very uncomfortable.

When He Yilong saw Ma Shouying and other battalion leaders, he spat fiercely at the position of the Tianwu Army, and said: "Damn, the dog officers and soldiers are all fucking bad seeds, they only dare to hide far away and fire guns, and if there is a kind of me, I will come over and fight a few battles with Lao Tzu's real swords and guns!" ”

Ma Shouying frowned and said, "What's the use of you talking nonsense, why didn't you see you say this when the officers and soldiers were chasing us?" ”

He Yilong was blocked by his words and had nothing to say, in the years of rebellion, didn't he just hide from the main force of officers and soldiers most of the time, picking out places with poor defense, and running away as soon as the army of officers and soldiers came.

The expressions on everyone's faces were very unnatural, they all saw this battle, the fierce firepower of the Tianwu Army was different from all the Ming troops that the Righteous Army had encountered in the past, and the attacking troops could not get close at all, they could only passively be hit by artillery and bullets, and there was no room to fight back.

At this time, Ma Shouying and the others remembered the fate of Wang Tuo Xianling, 30,000 horses went to attack the emperor's son, but they didn't come back.

At the beginning, the defeated army of Zhang Xianzhong's department came back and said that this Ming army was very elite, unlike any other Ming army, whether it was Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting or Zuo Liangyu, although these men and horses also used artillery and firearms, but the firearms they used were sparsely operated, not only the range was short, the firing was slow, and more importantly, the explosion was powerful, and it did not pose much threat to the rebel army of the crowd tactics at all.

At first, Ma Shouying and other battalion leaders also felt that Zhang Xianzhong was afraid of embarrassment and deliberately exaggerated the combat effectiveness of this officer and soldier, but now that I think about it, Zhang Xianzhong didn't come to rob Fengyang Mansion together, but went to fight Anqing again with Luo Rucai, it turned out that he deliberately avoided the Tianwu Army, what a villain!

Lin Yangyang and He Yilong's two battalions took turns to fight in vain, the powerful firepower of the Tianwu Army frightened the battalions a lot, and the men and horses of each department no longer had the kind of complacent appearance when they first sent out the troops, Ma Shouying even doubted that if he proposed to withdraw the troops at this time, he was afraid that these people would all agree.

But what did their army eat after they withdrew? Do you want to nest in the mountains and gnaw on tree bark for a year?
