Chapter 579: Steel Torrent

"Ready!"

In the curious eyes of Li Zicheng and the others, the shouts of the officers of the Tianwu Army came and went.

"Fire!"

The sound of death-like shouts rang out, gunshots rang out like popping beans, and fierce flames erupted.

"Five hundred steps to shoot?"

This idea just came to mind from the minds of the generals of the Shun army, and the next scene made them unforgettable for the rest of their lives!

With the sound of the Tianwu Army's rifle salvo, the archers, gunners, gunners and other long-range attacking troops who were waiting in front of the Shun army quickly fell in rows with a large thick blood mist on their bodies.

Heding rifle, the pinnacle of front-loading rifled guns, both in power and accuracy, is a cross-era existence, within 350 steps can ensure accurate hits, the power is quite strong.

At a distance of two hundred paces, even the three-layer armor worn by the armor of the Tianwu Army can penetrate, not to mention that these Shun soldiers wearing small padded jackets can wear two at all.

Without waiting for the Shun army to react, the shouts in the Tianwu army came one after another: "The second group, on!" ”

"Kill!"

In response to the majestic cheers, the first group of soldiers of the Tianwu Army stepped back, and the second group of soldiers stepped forward two steps neatly, they shouted in unison, and thousands of shots and Ding rifles were densely rolled down, aiming the muzzles of the black holes at the poor Shun army in front.

As a burst of gunfire rang out, the front of the Shun army fell again, and some people looked at their comrades rolling on the ground with blank faces.

How did the Shun army, who didn't even understand the bird, see this kind of artifact, the Shun soldiers in the front were almost swept away, and the Shun soldiers who made up for it in the back screamed again and again as if they had seen a ghost.

This is a complete one-sided massacre, the regular army with guns bullying the little hooligans with knives, tossing as much as they want from afar.

Liu Zongmin shrunk his neck and scolded: "Your mother, what kind of weapon is this?" It's terrible! ”

After the battle, Song Xiance's face twitched, and he said to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, the Ming army has a big killer, let's avoid its edge, withdraw the army first and fight another day!" ”

Li Zicheng's face was blue and white for a while, and he couldn't believe the scene in front of him, which was beyond his cognition.

He pointed behind him and said, "Ten miles behind us is the Xiaoyi River, how can so many troops withdraw?" ”

Li Zicheng's face became more and more gloomy, he tightened his cloak, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what submission is, and I don't understand what people have their own lives, God is destined, the so-called fate, half in the sky, half in people, in my Li Zicheng's world, there is no word fate!" ”

He shouted to the generals and old battalion soldiers of the Shun army around him: "Life is a master, death is also a ghost, we came to this world alive, we don't plan to go back alive!" ”

Li Zicheng no longer called himself me, as if he had regained the passion he had when he started the incident, and he roared heartbreakingly at the surrounding Dashun army: "Brothers, we were born to turn the tables around!" Do you dare to follow me Li Zicheng together, fight the world, and punish the remnants! ”

His words aroused the blood of the generals around him, and the generals immediately raised their arms and echoed: "I am willing to follow the king and punish the remnants of the Ming together!" ”

Liu Zongmin's voice was like thunder: "King Chuang, you give me 5,000 old battalions and 8,000 horse troops, and I will break through their military formation from the flanks in one go!" ”

"Yes, King Chuang, who have we been afraid of after so many years of fighting? I don't believe that the Tianwu Army is all three-headed and six-armed! them! ”

Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang, Li Guo and other generals were also not convinced, and they all asked for battle, and fought to the death with the Tianwu army, after all, they still had horse troops, and the old camp did not move, and it was unknown who killed the deer.

Li Zicheng was so moved that he immediately shouted: "Liu Zongmin listens to the order, I order you to lead 8,000 old battalions and 10,000 horse troops to break through the Ming army's military formation from the right flank!" ”

"Yuan Zongdi, I order you to lead 8,000 old battalions and 10,000 horse troops to break through from the left flank!"

"Liu Fangliang and Tian Jianxiu, I order you two to lead 50,000 horses each to press up from the front! Cover up the Ming army! ”

"The rest of the people, stick to the Chinese army!"

"Yes!"

The generals of the Shun army regained their confidence and were ready to let go of a big battle, and the men and horses of each department were mobilized again.

On the flat wilderness, Liu Zongmin personally led 18,000 cavalry of the Shun army to detour back to the left flank of the Tianwu army's gun array, trying to take advantage of the terrain of the plain to disperse the Tianwu army with cavalry.

However, before they approached the military formation of the Tianwu Army, they saw a rich black line appear on the Jade Emperor Mountain, and the black line spread out over the wilderness like a tide, like a stream of iron!!

"Cavalry! It's the cavalry of the Tianwu Army! ”

Liu Zongmin stared at the cold and flowing iron stream opposite, and the frightened sound of the old battalion soldiers echoed in his ears.

Gradually, the black shadow in front of him became bigger and bigger, and the black pressure was like a torrent that broke everything, and the torrent became faster and wider, full of endless cavalry and horses.

The rolling cavalry of the Longwu Army was like a vast ocean, they were in a strict array, their armor was distinct, and the strict military formation carried a murderous aura in their faces.

Countless horses' hooves slammed on the ground, just like thousands of drums hammered at the same time, and the rumbling sound completely covered the sound of the cavalry of the Shun army.

The cavalry of the old battalion behind Liu Zongmin were all terrified, such a huge cavalry array, is it really the Ming army?

Liu Zongmin looked at it with hatred, the strength of the Tianwu Army was beyond Dashun's expectations, and he shouted: "Prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

"Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy! ”

The generals of the old battalion brandished their sabers and shouted arrogantly to urge the cavalry to line up, everyone was nervous, and the momentum of tens of thousands of iron cavalry on the opposite side was too huge!

Although the old battalion soldiers and horse soldiers were well-trained, they had not fought many hard battles with the enemy's cavalry after all, and this situation suddenly appeared at this time, and it was really impossible to adapt to it for a while.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, Liu Zongmin yelled: "Rush! Kill officers and soldiers! ”

Maybe even Liu Zongmin himself doesn't understand, is the Dashun Army an officer or not?

The horn sounded in the old camp, and the 18,000 cavalry gritted their teeth and slammed up, there was no queue to speak of, just one word, scare!

In the galloping dragon army, Cao Bianjiao saw that the thieves dared to take the initiative to attack, so he immediately sneered and gave the shortest order: "Rush and kill!" ”

The two sides were a stone's throw away (almost one hundred and thirty paces), and while the cavalry was hedging, they were still preparing to attack from a distance first.

The Longwu Army is equipped with Heding rifles and rotating handguns, but the Heding rifles cannot be loaded on warhorses and can only be fired once, which is generally used in amphibious combat on foot and horse.

At a distance of about fifty paces, the two sides shot with handcuffs and bows and arrows, and they exchanged several waves of fire.

The old battalion of the Shun army is holding a bow diagonally, pouting their buttocks, and leaning forward, and the riding and archery posture looks obscene, but it is a standard archery combat posture.

If you shoot an arrow vertically with a bow in front of you, not only will the tip of the bow be poked at the horse's back, but the horse's head will also block the shooting boundary, so the cavalry's cavalry must lean forward and hold the bow diagonally to avoid the horse's head, just like shooting with the left and right probes in a chicken game.

It turned out that muskets were better than bows and arrows, especially the handcuffs that were fired in turns, had the upper hand.

In the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, all the screams seemed so pale and powerless, and after a few waves of painlessness, the cavalry on both sides were still hedging, and in the blink of an eye, the two iron streams collided head-on!

A thrilling muffled sound sounded, and the cavalry of the two fronts collided fiercely, and countless people immediately fell off their horses.

The cavalry of the Shun Army, who was only wearing light armor, seemed to be unable to resist even a charge in front of the Longwu Army wearing iron armor, but barely blocked the charging momentum of the Longwu Army's cavalry.

The 40,000 iron cavalry of the Longwu Army were as dense as ever, keeping a complete queue, they ignored the comrades who fell off their horses in the front row, all of them lay on the back of their horses tightly, holding the fire dragon spear, rushed forward with cold eyes, stared at the target in front of them, and stabbed them fiercely.

The mighty Longwu Army marched forward bravely, constantly charged, and immediately cut the loose and crumbling Shunjun cavalry brigade from it! It's as if a sword is plunged into the enemy's chest, and the momentum is like a bamboo!

Nearly 20,000 cavalry of the Shun army were pierced by the forward of the Longwu army, and the dragon weapon cavalry behind showed fierce eyes in their masks, wielding sabers to harvest the heads of the cavalry of the Shun army.

The cavalry of the Shun army, which was knocked over and fell to the ground, did not even have a chance to get up and run, and were directly trampled by the cavalry army that followed.

Just a face, the old battalion soldiers and horse troops of the Shun army were rushed and lost their courage, and they quickly collapsed, countless cavalry scattered in all directions, and some even turned around and ran.

Liu Zongmin, who has always been known as an iron man, turned pale at this time, and ran away, because he saw the person who frightened him, the fierce man who had chased them for thousands of miles in their old camp, Cao Bianjiao.
