Chapter 304: Dedication to the Loyal Soldiers (10)

"Ahh

The screams of being shot by bows and arrows and the wails of being bombarded by artillery were endless, and the Long Xiang battalion finally reached a distance of about eighty paces despite three rounds of arrow rain.

It is said that the best shooting distance is of course fifty paces, but at this time, the recruits in the Longxiang battalion have begun to waver a little, and Mu Jingnan, who is in charge of the front-line command, can make a decision immediately.

"Stand still, get ready to shoot."

Seeing that the Longxiang camp suddenly stopped, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes narrowed, and he directly waved his saber and "charged".

"Kill"

The more than 2,000 old thieves who were ready to complete the process instantly began to rush towards the Longxiang camp, and the other thieves followed in a chaotic manner.

"Ready to shoot"

Long Xiang's camp stopped on the ground, and the front row immediately landed on his right knee and aimed his gun.

"Shooting"

"Bang" "Bang"

The white smoke of the dragon champ style continued to rise, and the nine hundred muskets fired bullets at the same time, directly causing the attacking team of thieves to be peeled off several layers like peeling onions.

"Stand back, second row, shoot."

The first platoon of the Long Xiang battalion immediately retreated back along the gap in the queue, vacating the figure of the second platoon.

The sound of "bang" and "bang" sounded again, and at this moment the thieves had reached a distance of less than sixty paces, and half of the bullets fired by the Longxiang battalion hit them.

"Rush, rush", seeing that the three rounds of shooting in the Long Xiang camp were completed, the thieves who were still alive began to accelerate as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

They are all old soldiers, and they all know that the firearms of the officers and soldiers shoot at most one round, and now rushing up is a massacre.

The thieves who rushed to the front row seemed to have seen the faces of the few cubs on the opposite side, whose hairs had not grown, and were full of horror.

"Haha, Lao Tzu ......"

At this moment, hundreds of black rumbling things suddenly flew out of the team of the Long Xiang camp, and rolled into the crowd of thieves with smoke.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"

Suddenly, the earth-shattering sound sounded on the position, and Zhang Xianzhong stayed in the rear as if he felt that the ground shook a few times, and the sound was much louder than the sound of the shelling.

"Ahh

"Mother, I don't want to die"

The thieves' sprint was interrupted by the bombs of the Long Xiang camp, and before they could recover their senses, the second round of bombs and the first row, which had been loaded, vented their anger on the thieves again.

"Boom"

The entire thief forward suddenly formed a big gap, and when the thieves brigade who had been following the charge saw this, many people began to cry and run back.

"I'll grass your mother", Zhang Xianzhong is flawed, this is the elite of his own subordinates.

After this experience, I don't know how long it will take to recover.

"Grandpa, don't let the brothers rush anymore", Li Dingguo cried with tears on his face, and ran over to pull Zhang Xianzhong to persuade him.

"Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood."

"Let your mother's fart, rush, Lao Tzu won't believe it, they can still have three heads and six arms."

The bandit brigade, which had already retreated, was organized again

, the core backbone of the thieves held a steel knife behind him to supervise the battle, and the crowd rushed forward like a tide again.

However, after the first round of shock, the mentality of the Longxiang camp has stabilized significantly, and the crowd of thieves is like a stone on the shore, constantly stirring up splashes, but they are constantly repulsed.

Later, the Long Xiang battalion had gradually retreated to the attack range of Pengzhou City, and although He Duanbu did not dare to go out of the city to attack, he also provided a little fire support, which reduced the pressure on the Long Xiang battalion a little.

This battle lasted directly for more than an hour, until Zhang Xianzhong was awakened by the sound of shouting and killing from behind him.

"Capture the thief alive"

Three thousand light soldiers in red robes suddenly appeared on the official road behind the thief camp, and rushed straight over without even a moment's respite.

"Hou Liangzhu's striker has arrived, grandpa, it's too late if you don't leave."

Li Dingguo turned around and looked around, and found that many officers and soldiers wearing red robes could already be seen on the road behind his camp, and he was so shocked that he immediately wanted to pull Zhang Xianzhong to retreat.

Zhang Xianzhong's face turned pale instantly, he turned around and took a look, and finally came back to his senses, "Go", he opened his mouth wide and shouted loudly.

"Gather the troops and horses, and let's retreat south."

As soon as there was movement on the thief's side, Liu Ximing immediately observed here, and many people in the camp obviously began to retreat.

"It's Hou Dudu's reinforcements that have arrived."

"Wansheng", the Longxiang battalion, which had already entered a tired state, erupted into a burst of cheers.

"Outflank them from both sides, pursue them steadily, pass my orders, keep in formation, and hold them back."

Seeing this scene, Liu Ximing excitedly threw the folding fan in his hand, stood up and was about to pursue with the reserve recruits.

"Second brother, the soldiers are in danger, you can press the formation in the back, let me go up."

Yu Yongkai was shocked when he saw him like this, and grabbed the reins of his horse and persuaded him.

Liu Ximing comforted him a little helplessly: "Don't worry, I will only follow behind, and I won't rush up." ”

"That's not going to work", Yu Yongkai also stiffened, dragging the reins and not letting go.

"Li Biao, get this kid out of the way", Liu Ximing yelled at Li Biao beside him.

Li Biao came up with a smile, but instead of pulling Yu Yongkai with both hands, he also grabbed his reins and said with a smile: "Second brother, listen to Yongkai's advice, don't go." ”

"You ......"

Liu Ximing raised the whip and shook it, but in the end he still couldn't pull it down.

"Damn, one by one is going to turn the sky upside down, Yongkai, then you go up and command the north bread, and let Jing Nan command the south."

"Huh", Yu Yongkai's expression lit up, he let go of his hand with a smile, and immediately galloped on his horse and rushed towards the formation.

"Damn", looking at Yu Yongkai's back, Liu Ximing laughed and scolded.

Why didn't he know what his subordinates were thinking about guarding him, didn't he think about going up to see that the thief brigade had collapsed.

He could see Long Xiangying's action just now, and he hit the first few sets of combination punches

come, at least more than 1,000 people from Zhang Xianzhong's forward will be defeated, and with the next few waves of charges, the thieves may have fallen four or five thousand people in front of the formation.

In particular, the scene of hundreds of grenades being used together is too magical, and for the thieves who have not experienced large-scale firearms operations, the shock far exceeds the pain on the **.

On the other hand, in the Longxiang camp itself, in addition to the more than 100 people who were shot down by bows and arrows during the march, only some casualties caused by the repeated impacts of the thieves were completely within the acceptable range of Liu Ximing.

However, although the thieves have begun to disperse at the moment, after all, there are many people, and there is a panic on the battlefield now, and it is understandable that Yu Yongkai and others will not let themselves play.

As Liu Ximing's order was conveyed, the Long Xiang battalion began to suppress the army of thieves from both flanks around the center.

At this time, He Duan, who was watching the battle on the wall, also saw the clue, and Hula suddenly rushed out with the army, and with the addition of more than 1,000 of them, the balance on the battlefield further tilted in favor of the Longxiang battalion.

Hou Liangzhu's vanguard, who rushed over from the rear, also seemed to see the end of the rogue and launched several attacks one after another, and the entire rogue front began to falter.

However, at this time, Zhang Xianzhong and the others could no longer take care of these, and with Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and other generals to restrain them, the elite old thieves among the thieves soon gathered around him again, and broke out towards the southeast under the cover of the crowd.

At this time, there were at least 20,000 people in the camp scurrying around like headless flies, making the whole battlefield even more chaotic.

"Brother Wujiang, Zhang Xianzhong escaped."

Huang Zongxi and the others, who stayed at the head of the city to watch, noticed the changes in the thief camp and shouted loudly to Liu Ximing.

Liu Ximing was shocked, and with Li Biao's support, he staggered on horseback and wanted to observe one or two.

But from his position, there was nothing to be seen except the chaotic thieves.

"Dog's day", Liu Ximing sighed slightly in his heart, although he never doubted whether Zhang Xianzhong could escape, after all, people were unscathed in front of the official army formation, but when he ran away in front of his eyes, he still felt a little pity in his heart.

This is a great achievement, at least enough for Yongkai to be a guerrilla general or something.

Leaving the command of Zhang Xianzhong and others, the thieves who were still on the battlefield obviously had no rules, and could only be constantly pressed by the Long Xiang camp and Hou Liangzhu's forward to converge towards the middle.

It wasn't until the end of noon that the entire battlefield slowly subsided, and the original shouts of killing began to turn into all kinds of moans and wails.

In order to prepare for this war, Liu Ximing transferred all the doctors and apprentices in the infirmary.

As soon as the Longxiang battalion stabilized its position, the infirmary personnel wearing white coats and embroidered red ribbons and golden gourds on their chests immediately threw themselves into the battlefield to help.

Liu Ximing was afraid that they would be hurt by the thieves who pretended to be dead on the battlefield, so he specially arranged two Qu men and horses to listen to their command and provide protection.

At this time, Hou Liangzhu's vanguard troops also sent people to contact, and a group of knights covered in blood slowly marched around the camp of thieves.
