Offensive!

With Li Zicheng's order, in the next two days, the army of thieves launched several attacks on the Ming army's positions one after another. Each attack put the battalions in turn. After losing tens of thousands of people, the army of thieves finally broke through to the trenches of the two official troops, and it seemed that they were about to tear through the defense line of the Ming army, and the official army had formed a semi-encirclement trend.

During this period, the officers and soldiers on the defensiveness felt more and more difficult, although the artillery used cyclone rockets to bombard a large number of thieves many times, and the effect was also very good, forcing back the attacks of the thieves many times, but the thieves still continued to attack as if they were not dying.

Seeing that the thieves were about to tear through the encirclement, Zhu Guoqiang invested another 15,000-strong new force - the township soldiers who had just been reinforced from Shandong, and replenished them to the front line, relying on trench defense.

Despite the addition of the new force, the position of the official army is like an iron barrel, and it is impossible for the thieves to easily break through. But, even so, they still did not stop attacking. With the sound of drums, a black line spread over the horizon in the distance, and there were thieves as far as the eye could see.

Looking at the boundless thieves, most of the village soldiers who participated in the war for the first time looked a little nervous, and the veterans looked at their appearance and immediately spoke out to calm their emotions.

"The big guy just needs to shoot with peace of mind, starting from 400 meters to shoot ......"

"Yes, it's like hitting a target!"

When the thieves began to attack, in their rear, the gunners of the thieves also began to fire, and the continuous sound of cannons echoed in the heavens and the earth like thunder, and the flowering shells fired by the thieves' cannons smashed on the trenches of the officers and soldiers like raindrops, blowing up craters near the trenches.

During the thieves and the shelling, the officers and soldiers hid in the trenches and endured their shelling.

Now it's the cannon that's talking!

At the same time as the cannon spoke, the front team of the thieves began to attack again, and there were as many as 10,000 or 20,000 thieves who were overwhelming, and against the attacking thieves, the mortars of the officers and soldiers were once again powerful, and hundreds of cannons all greeted the thieves who were attacking.

When they had just entered the kilometer distance, hundreds of high-explosive bombs of various sizes fell on their heads, and the moment the shells exploded, fragments of cast iron and smoke of earth and gunpowder flew everywhere, and these large or small fragments were like sharp blades at the speed of sound, blowing up the people around them either into the sky or knocking them to the ground.

Palm-sized pieces of shrapnel struck a thief in the shoulder, tearing his shoulder apart and dragging him out of his heart, while the bones flew backwards with the force of the impact, plunging into the stomach of a nearby thief, causing him to howl and fall to the ground. After the charging thieves were subjected to intensive shelling, they fell into chaos for a while while the heavy artillery fire overturned them to the ground.

But even so, they were still driven by the old battalion soldiers, rushing towards the Ming army's defensive line, just like the previous two days, if anyone dared to retreat, what was waiting for them was the old battalion soldiers' knives and axes, and many people who retreated were cut off their heads on the spot, and even when a group of thieves retreated, what was waiting for them was the Franc machine that fired hundreds of shotguns.

"Kill it,"

The leader of a thief, after cutting off the head of the deserter with a knife, howled and shouted for the others to rush forward, driven by these leaders, the thief could only desperately move forward.

At this moment, several leaders suddenly fell to the ground and were shot dead by the chasseurs of the official army.

"Aim for the boss, as long as the boss dies, they themselves will collapse......"

On the position, when the hunters were loading their bullets, the officers shouted loudly on the side, and sometimes, the officers would hold binoculars to look for people like the leader among the thieves, such people are easy to identify, nothing more than those thieves who carry long knives and press the formation, they are often slashing and killing deserters, such guys die, and the thieves will naturally be defeated and self-defeated.

Compared with the hunting of the hunters, the infantry in the trenches constantly reloaded and shot according to the command, just like they did in the past training, according to the rhythm of training, methodically reloading bullets, and then shooting together.

In the team of the thieves' attack, there are constantly people who are hit by bullets or blown up by shells, often a shell hits, a few people will be blown to the ground, compared to the bullets fired by the Liao 13 type, the gunners fired the blossom shells are undoubtedly more deadly, those shrapnel that whistles and scatters when exploding, like hundreds of bullets, tear apart the objects in front of them, and tear the thief's body to pieces.

While the thieves were approaching, the rifles and artillery of the officers and soldiers rang out, and in the dense gunfire of the guns, the corpses piled up on the battlefield were also pulling more and more. Crimson blood stained the yellow earth, and even the sandy soil could not absorb so much blood, and the crimson blood flowed on the earth, flowing into the crater, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood, and the choking smell of sulfur, these smells mixed together, only made people feel suffocated, and even breathless.

The positions of the officers and troops were completely shrouded in gunsmoke, and the entire position was white and full of smoke, and the visibility was only a hundred and ten paces, so the battle situation was more favorable to the thieves.

Although the thief had suffered a heavy blow, it was also the moment they had hoped for, and he quickly rushed to within a few dozen paces of the position.

"Brothers, kill the past, kill the official dog, eat dog meat......"

Looking at the official and military defense line shrouded in gunsmoke, the leader among the thieves shouted excitedly, and at the same time, the horse team behind the thieves also moved, and Luo Hu, who had been waiting for this moment, said in a deep voice:

"The cavalry of each battalion assembled, ready to attack, kill the official dogs, and eat dog meat!"

This is a desperate attack, Luo Hu led a total of tens of thousands of cavalry, they are the elite of the Shun army, and the infantry who used to act as cannon fodder is completely different, they are waiting for this opportunity, when the infantry is about to break through the Ming army's defense line, the cavalry will immediately attack to break through the defense line of the official army.

This style of play is also in line with the rules, but they ignore the powerful firepower of the officers and soldiers, in fact, if they have not fought face-to-face with the officers and soldiers, everyone will ignore all this.

But now they have to pay the price in blood for their neglect.

The total cost is not even something they can afford, but for Li Zicheng... It's not a big deal, the most important thing now is to get out of the current situation.

What can I do?
