The death squads of the Song army were all formed by Ji Qingquan a few days ago, and Ji Qingquan knew that there might be such a situation.

These fearless dead soldiers were used by Ji Qingquan to break through Lu Zhan's firepower network, and through the observation of the last battle, Lu Zhan Ji Qingquan was sure that the firearms in the hands of the Yanzhou army must have been able to shoot from range and not in close combat.

As long as you can withstand the firepower of the Yanzhou army in hand-to-hand combat, you should not be far from victory.

"Those people are not afraid of muskets, you see that the front of these people are almost dead." Duan Xiaohan looked at these people and attacked with their hair, successfully encouraging the remaining soldiers.

Lu Zhan was also a little unbelievable that there were so many people in the world who were not afraid of death.

"These people are death squads, and their families will receive a huge sum of money when they die, so these people can charge so fearlessly." Chen Zhuang had heard from veterans when he was in the army before.

These death squads are used by generals to charge into battle, and these dead soldiers are the tip of a knife, and the role of the tip of the knife is to break through the defense line.

The tip of a knife is difficult to keep sharp for a long time, and the Yongdao people are careful to keep it sharp, but once it is unsheathed, it will not be stingy.

The originally raised dead soldiers and temporarily recruited dead soldiers were enough to wade through the firepower network to face the Yanzhou army, while the rifled guns used by Lu Xian were very limited in terms of rate of fire and power, although the density of firepower was increased by means of three shots, but it still could not stop these dead soldiers who were not afraid of death.

Looking at the approaching Song army, Lu Zhan was eager to build a machine gun to deal with these enemies. Fortunately, there were defensive weapons such as barbed wire that successfully blocked the advance of the Song army.

The dead soldiers advancing in the dark could not see the barbed wire, and their progress was immediately stopped.

However, the dead men climbed over the barbed wire fence and continued to rush forward, and after a series of crossings, the dead men were almost exhausted.

But the purpose of these dead soldiers has been fully achieved, and the rest of the Song army also attacked with the dead soldiers under coercion and temptation.

And now the musket has had to stop because the barrel is hot due to multiple shots, and now it is still a white-knuckle battle with real knives and real guns.

However, before the white-knuckle battle, the archers of both sides continued to shoot at each other, but in the black, the archers of both sides did not have the slightest accuracy.

However, the formation of the Song army was too dense, and the archers in Lu Zhan's army easily shot most of the enemy troops.

And the soldiers of the Song army, after enduring the baptism of arrows, began to attack.

Although the enemy's momentum is huge, the soldiers he recruited are not comparable to these stinky fish and shrimp, and the high-quality soldiers make his fighters have stronger combat effectiveness and stamina.

"Brothers, today we will tell our enemies that our great camp is impregnable and our warriors are invincible." Lu Zhan stood in front of the camp gate in armor and made the final mobilization.

The original walls of the camp were very weak, and the enemy used broadswords to cut down these improvised fences made of wood.

Chen Zhuang stood outside the wall that was about to be broken and raised his spear, "Brothers, form a gun formation. ”

The gun formation formed by thousands of spears seemed to be impenetrable, and the soldiers of the Song State who rushed in had never seen such a formation. According to the usual experience, shouldn't it be like the two sides are fighting in a group, this hedgehog-like formation has never been seen before.

"Are you still afraid of this? Brothers, kill it! "One hundred households ordered his soldiers to attack forward, but he stood still.

There are more and more brothers rushing behind him, and if he doesn't get closer, he will be forcibly pushed by the rest of the people.

When many people were about to try to see if they could break through the gun formation, they were pierced by the spear.

"Steady!"

As Chen Zhuang continued to encourage the soldiers beside him, the gun array of more than 5,000 people blocked the tens of thousands of Song troops.

After Ji Qingquan saw that the advancing team was stopped, he had an idea.

"Order the rest of the soldiers to strike in both directions. I don't believe that this Yanzhou army will be like a hedgehog that can stop everyone with a gun array. ”

However, the soldiers with spears were already a little tired, but fortunately, they usually tied stones to the barrels of their spears when they practiced with them.

These are all things that Lu Zhan learned from military TV dramas, and the stones tied to them for training make these spearmen have perseverance far beyond ordinary people.

Although the phalanx of spears lacked offensive power, it was incomparable in defense, and hundreds of soldiers armed with broadswords who tried to break through the phalanx were all stabbed outside the phalanx one by one.

"My lord, as long as it takes a while for the musket to be cooled down, according to our previous plan, the phalanx with the spear and musket should be both offensive and defensive." Duan Xiaohan remembered the battle formation that Lu Zhan had proposed when he was in Yanzhou City before.

This phalanx of spears and muskets was first invented by the Spaniards, and such a phalanx was first-class at that time, both offensively and defensively.

The armies of the two sides fought constantly in the dark night, and of course, with the blessing of the phalanx composed of muskets and pikes, the casualties of the soldiers of the Song State were far greater than those of the Yanzhou army.

"It's early spring, and if it's summer, it's already dawning, right?" Lu Zhan, who had been watching the battle situation, suddenly looked at the somewhat shiny sky, and it seemed that a new day had arrived sooner than later.

"After dawn, the Song army should withdraw its troops, it has been fighting for more than two hours."

"This Ji Qingquan has already bet on all the hole cards, and the Song army should retreat after surviving today. After all, the eastern part of the country is falling much faster than we are. ”

Lu Zhan's expectation was not wrong, this Ji Qingquan really wanted to take a gamble to see if he could defeat the Yanzhou army. The order from the monarch was that no matter what, he must first negotiate peace with the imperial court and Yanzhou.

If you win, you can talk about a loose contract, after all, compared to the imperial court and Yanzhou, this defense is still something that the Song State can fight.

"The general will arrive at the time specified by the monarch as soon as it dawns, should we collect the troops."

"No, no, it's not time yet, we can still give it a try."

As the sky gradually brightened, the soldiers on both sides could see each other's faces, both tired and resolute.

The soldiers on both sides seemed to be a little exhausted, and the fighters on both sides were waiting for the other army's army to retreat first.

Woooooooooooo

The sound of the horn sounded from the distant sky, and a pair of cavalrymen wearing imperial armor appeared on the skyline, and the early morning sun shone on the bright armor of the cavalrymen, and they were dressed in a layer of golden battle clothes.

The cavalrymen armed with spears urged the horses under their crotches to rush towards the weak flanks of the Song army.
