Chapter 338, Unprecedented Decisive Battle 5

Bai Qi had already seen the situation on the battlefield clearly, he was very calm, and comforted: "General Li Kang, you can't panic in the war, calm down, I have a way." [No pop-ups. 】”

At this time, most of the cavalry scattered by the officers and troops on the battlefield had already gathered, about seven or eight thousand people, and these people gathered together and immediately became bold. Under the command of the Ximen guard, he rushed towards Bai Qi's side.

The officers and soldiers also understand the truth of capturing thieves and capturing kings. Bai Qi wants to catch Xiong Wencan, and the officials and soldiers want to catch Bai Qi even more.

At this time, Bai Qi had already summoned the two female generals back, and everyone was together, the cavalry was less than 5,000 people, and the infantry had already been disrupted with the infantry of the official army, mixed together, and could not be separated. Bai Qi ignored the infantry and ordered: "All the cavalry retreat towards the Xi'an city wall." ”

Li Yan was stunned: "General, do you want to enter the city, or do you want to fight behind the city?" ”

Bai Qi shouted: "Don't ask yet, just listen to the order." ”

More than 4,000 cavalry retreated towards Xi'an City. Xiong Wencan looked at it not far away, his heart was overjoyed, he thought that Bai Qi's men and horses could not support it, and he wanted to enter the city, taking advantage of this opportunity, he could follow Bai Qi and kill into the city, so he ordered the trumpeter to blow the horn and let the cavalry chase after him.

It is not practical to blow the trumpet, and the Ximen guards have already seen the cheapness, and they also think that Bai Qi's retreat must be to enter the city to rest and recuperate, and want to take a breath. So he ordered his more than 7,000 cavalry to chase after him.

You must know that if the more than 4,000 cavalry of Bai Qi want to enter the city completely, it will take at least two teas, and at this time, the officers and soldiers have already rushed to the city.

King Qin, who was beating drums at the head of the city, and Zhang Yi beside him, also noticed this situation, King Qin was so nervous that he forgot to beat the drums, Zhang Yi stood behind the battlements, cold sweat oozed from his face, and he was anxious for Bai Qi in his heart. Because Bai Qi's men and horses did not leave the official army far, it was not enough to be a stone's throw away, and at this distance, the fast horses only needed to count a dozen and arrive.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qi did not mean to enter the city, he ran to the moat, and did not ask the upper to lower the drawbridge to open the city, but ordered the four thousand cavalry to line up against the river, and then sent Li Dang to lead people to send a message to the city.

Li Dang listened to Bai Qi's order, didn't care about anything else, led a team of people, and shouted to the city: "The general has an order, fire the cannon quickly, fire the cannon ......."

Zhang Yi suddenly realized, and immediately ordered the Qin army at the head of the city to load the cannonballs, aim at the official cavalry behind the white men, and fire the cannons fiercely.

More than a dozen cannons roared one after another, bursting with sparks, one by one the cannonballs entered the official and military formations, immediately the dust was heavy, the flesh and blood were flying, those cannonballs shot out, fell into the official and military formations, the fuses on it were still burning, once they were burned, there was a loud bang, shrapnel splashed, and the officers and soldiers who were close to the surrounding area were often blown up with people and horses, and were blown up full of blood holes.

The firing range of the cannon is fixed, so it is like an invisible wall, dividing the officers and soldiers into two, the front one rushes to the front of the white men, the two sides are close to each other, and the officers and soldiers behind want to rush up, but they are killed by the artillery.

This is the wishful thinking of Bai Qi.

In terms of field warfare, the Qin army did not have an advantage in numbers, and the Qin army, which was less than 30,000, was no more than three times the number of official troops, not to mention that the cavalry of the official army was much more than that of the Qin army. Therefore, Bai Qi thought of this idea and fought against the city. Those cannons finally came to fruition.

The cannon bombarded for a while, and the flowering shells had been fired, so Zhang Yi ordered to replace the solid shells and continue firing.

There are many solid cannonballs in Xi'an City, because this kind of cannonball is simple to make, that is, round iron balls cast in molds. It's also easy to fire, fill the gunpowder into the breech, stuff it into the shell, and ignite it.

Solid bullets are much less lethal and are generally used for siege, but when defending a city, if there are a large number of enemies and they are crowded together, the effect is different. This kind of cannonball shoots out and falls in the crowd, which is a bloody alley. The solid cannonball fell to the ground, and the huge inertia made the cannonball bounce wildly, whether it was a man or a horse, as long as it was knocked down, it would be crippled at least and killed at worst.

At this time, the officers and soldiers gathered more and more, and they all rushed to Baiqi's side, wanting to take advantage of this, so the officers and troops from all directions rushed here, and the cannons on the head of the city kept bombarding all the time, and the officers and soldiers under the city suffered many casualties.

Xiong Wencan saw clearly from a distance, and thought, you can shoot, but I won't? He ordered cannons to be drawn and bombarded the white men. But everyone searched for a long time, but they didn't find a single one that could be used, and these cannons were either thrown into the fire under the impact of the Qin army, or the gun carriage car was dismantled, and they could no longer be used.

At this time, Lei Sheng rushed over with his men and horses, and killed Xiong Wencan's Chinese army, the two sides were infantry to infantry, the iron armor of the official army was heavy, Lei Sheng did not break the conflict for a while, and his men suffered more than 200 casualties. So the Qin army led by him began to wander around the battlefield, and when they encountered a small group of officers and troops, they went up and attacked fiercely.

There was chaos on the battlefield, and with him making such a fuss, it was even more chaotic. Fortunately, at this time, the camp of the official army was full of fire, and it was like daylight, and it was very clear to see, otherwise everyone could only fight in the dark.

Bai Qi fought with the official cavalry for a long time, and gradually killed the officers and soldiers in front of him, because the cannon at the head of the city was powerful, the officers and soldiers behind did not dare to rush up together, so they had to increase the troops one by one, so that Bai Qi's side was always more people and fewer people, taking advantage. On the side of the official army, it has become a tactic of adding oil, going up to a group, being killed and repulsing a group, and then going up, and being repulsed again......

The general of the unified army saw it and knew that it would not be good to continue fighting like this, so he ordered the attack to be suspended, and the officers and troops began to gather men and horses, and gather forces, all of which were out of the range of the artillery.

Seeing this, he sneered slightly: "The officers and soldiers have understood." Li dared to say: "What are they going to do?" Bai Qi said: "On our side, they don't dare to attack, because there are cannons, so the official cavalry will inevitably besiege our Qin army's troops." Li Dang was taken aback: "In that case, the infantry can't stand it." Bai Qi said: "I just want the officials and soldiers to do this." ”

Li Dare was puzzled, and Tang Sai'er on the side smiled: "Have you forgotten the general's ultimate goal for this battle?" Li Dang was stunned: "The ultimate goal? Xiong Wencan? ”

Li Yan also smiled: "Yes, the official cavalry will go to fight the infantry of the Qin army, and our cavalry can take this opportunity to directly take Xiong Wencan's Chinese army." This is called the rank of general in the million-strong army. ”

Before they could speak, they saw that the officers and troops on the opposite side began to disperse, divided into several groups of men and horses, and rushed towards the Qin infantry who were fighting with the officers and soldiers.

It turned out that the generals of the official army took a look, Bai Qi these thousands of cavalry, high morale, skilled in martial arts, and the artillery at the head of the city as support, it was difficult to annihilate for a while, nearly 10,000 cavalry on their own side, was pinned down here, it was really a waste, it was better to separate, to fight the infantry of the Qin army, as long as the infantry was eliminated, the strength of the Qin army was greatly damaged, and it would be easy to attack the city in the future.

This commander of the army is also a person who understands, and his command is not a mistake. It's just that he is facing Bai Qi, the god of war Bai Qi.

The cavalry of the official army was divided into four teams, each with more than 2,000 people, three of which first slowly retreated, and then divided into several directions and fought into various battle groups.

Bai Qi did not give the order to attack at first, and only then did he order an attack when he saw that the official cavalry had completely dispersed.

More than 4,000 cavalry of the Qin army urged their horses and swooped towards Xiong Wencan's handsome banner.

The group of officers and cavalry left behind saw it and knew the intentions of the Qin army, and hurriedly rushed forward, wanting to stop the Qin army. Bai Qi ordered Li Dang and Ji Mengdie to take 3,000 cavalry and continue to charge, and he led more than 1,000 cavalry to meet this official army.

So the white horses were also divided into two.

Li Kang's eyes were already red, and he knew that whether he could defeat the official army or not depended on his impact this time. The Chinese army that can't take Xiong Wencan, and the numerical superiority of the official army will make it very difficult for the Qin army. He saw where Xiong Wencan's handsome flag was, rushed halfway, and divided his troops with Ji Mengdie again, he personally led a thousand cavalry, rushed head-on, and asked Ji Mengdie to take two thousand people and go around to the back to assault.

One after the other, under the flanking attack, he could break the two thousand ironclad troops around Xiong Wencan.

Xiong Wencan knew at a glance that the target of the Qin army was him, and hurriedly ordered the Chinese army to shoot arrows and wave the handsome flag for help.

Three ringing arrows exploded in the air, the sound was loud, the cavalry of the official army turned his head to look, the handsome flag waved, and saw thousands of Qin cavalry, rushing straight towards Xiong Wencan's Chinese army, knowing that it was not good, he immediately led more than 2,000 cavalry around him, chasing Li Kang's men and horses from behind, and pounced.

A personal soldier behind Li Dang saw it and shouted, "General, the enemy cavalry has caught up." Li dared to shout: "Panic what! It is not too late for the enemy to report within ten paces behind him. ”

His 1,000 cavalry, ignoring the officers and troops behind him, rushed vigorously.

When they were less than a stone's throw away from Xiong Wencan's ironclad army, their own soldiers shouted from the side: "General, the enemy has chased ten paces away......

Li Dare shouted: "Five steps to report again!" Give me ......"

Just when the enemy cavalry was able to catch up, Li Kang's 1,000 cavalry finally rushed in front of the 2,000 ironclad army.

At this time, the two thousand ironclad troops were already in full formation, with iron shields and straight guns, ready to attack.

Li Dang took the lead, rushed to the front of the ironclad army, and shouted: Leap!

Dozens of Qin cavalrymen in the front row slammed the reins together, and dozens of war horses jumped up and jumped into the formation.

The protection of the ironclad army was the strictest, and the people behind them had iron shields to protect their heads, and the iron spears were facing the sky, so the dozens of war horses were pierced into the belly of the horses with spears and neighed to the ground.

But under this jump, although the horse was stabbed, it also knocked down hundreds of ironclad soldiers.

Li Dang's big knife in his hand, rolled on the spot, had broken away from the horse's back, and swept violently, sweeping several officers and soldiers around him to the ground.

The dozens of Qin soldiers beside him also followed his example and rushed into the ironclad army formation.
