Judging from the city wall, not far from them, two torrents are rapidly approaching, and they are about to collide together, in such an impact, there is no trick to speak of, this is the same as betting on stud, winning all and losing all losses.

"Stop!"

As the drums stopped abruptly, the first phalanx at the front immediately stopped, and a sergeant with a famous gun on his shoulder stood solemnly, the first row of sergeants squatted down, and the second row stepped forward, and the sergeants at the front of both rows all pointed their muzzles in the black hole forward.

"Here we go again, these bastards are here again!" Seeing Jiang Ningjun put on this strange and familiar posture, Li Zicheng's face flushed, and the scene of Meng Jindu half a year ago appeared in his mind again.

"King Chuang, the officers and soldiers are in formation, what should we do? Do you want to rush forward? Li Laiheng came to him and asked in a low voice.

"Things have come to this point, do we have a way out?" Li Zicheng glanced at him coldly, and then said in a low voice: "You first let Wang Baotian lead people to rush, and then let Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi and Yongzhong leave some of them to cooperate with Liu Liang to entangle the cavalry, and the others will participate in the attack together, in short, even if it is consumed, the Ming army will be consumed to death!" ”

"Understood." Li Laiheng's heart was cold, and he hurriedly saluted Li Zicheng, and then retreated.

Wang Baotian is a Shenwei general under Li Zicheng, as Li Zicheng's descendant troops, the men and horses under his command are the best in terms of equipment and personnel quality, these days when attacking Hangzhou Mansion, Li Zicheng has become the strength of Liu Zongmin and others, and he insisted that the men and horses of the old eighth battalion did not move, so their men and horses can always remain fully equipped.

After hearing Li Zicheng's order, Wang Baotian did not dare to slack off, and led his battalion of men and horses to rush towards the first phalanx of the Jiangning Army.

It should be mentioned here that Li Zicheng divided his men and horses into eight battalions, each with about 5,000 people, a total of 40,000 troops, so the thieves habitually called them the old battalion or the old eighth battalion.

The people who can be selected for the old camp are all young and strong people, and many of them are veteran horse bandits or Wang Yang thieves who have been arrested by the imperial court, and after the order was issued, these people all rushed towards the phalanx of the Jiangning army.

Looking at the sword and shield soldiers, archers, and pikemen who were dressed differently and rushed towards them, one of the thousand generals in the phalanx shouted loudly: "The first and second rows are ready, ready, aim ......"

As the rogues got closer and closer, the sergeant at the front could clearly see the hideous faces of the rogues who were rushing towards them.

In his heart, he silently counted the distance of the attacking Liukou, and raised the long knife in his hand and shouted.

"First row shooting!"

"Beep beep ......"

"Bang ......"

With the shrill whistle sounded, the first phalanx sounded a dull sound of fire.

With the sound of gunfire, the thieves who rushed to the front were knocked down by the crackling lead bullets.

"Rush ...... No one is allowed to stop, they all rush up to Lao Tzu! ”

Wang Baotian, who was behind, didn't seem to see the fallen person in front of him, and kept urging his subordinates to rush forward.

At this time, Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi, Hao Yongzhong and other three people also rushed up with their own men and horses under the urging of Li Zicheng, and tens of thousands of troops were all crowded in a decisive battle in a few square kilometers in front of Qingbo Gate.

"The offensive of the rebel army must not stop, the pro-guards, the cavalry are in formation, and those who dare to escape will be killed on the spot!"

"Tell those in charge, after defeating the officers and soldiers, they will be selected for the capture of the baggage, and they must move forward bravely and not retreat!"

"The king has an order, move forward and live, and those who retreat die!"

Orders flowed into the ears of the thieves who participated in the attack.

"After killing and retiring the officers and soldiers, the whole army will be rewarded with wine and meat......"

"Whoever kills officers and soldiers will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver for one head, a pair of armor, and a good weapon...... Those who have three first levels will be promoted to three levels in a row! ”

"Those who dare to retreat will be beheaded on the spot!"

Under the encouragement of almost brainwashing, both the thieves in the old camp and the thieves under the command of Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi, and Hao Yongzhong were all excited.

Fifty taels of silver is not a small amount in this year, it is enough for a family of five to live comfortably in Jiangnan for two years, and this is just the head of a Jiangning sergeant.

Of course, there are also many thieves who have fought with the Jiangning army who know very well the power of Jiangning's firearms, but there are very few of these people, and most of the people in the old camp were collected by Li Zicheng for more than half a year, and many people have no experience in fighting with the Jiangning army.

At this time, the seven phalanxes that walked behind also rushed over to the left and right and the rear of the first phalanx, and the eight phalanxes formed a zigzag, and as soon as they stopped, they saw countless Liukou rushing up densely, what else is polite, just hurry up and fire.

"Bang ......"

"Bang ......"

As the smoke rose, countless charging rogues fell under the lead bullets.

The fall in front, the charge in the back, the fall and the charge again, in less than two quarters of an hour, the corpses that fell in front of the three phalanxes were no less than thousands.

This brutal battle has been carried out so far, and it is no longer a war, but a bloody massacre.

After a famous thief rushed fifty to a hundred meters in front of the phalanx, they were greeted by an overwhelming amount of lead bullets, which were so dense that it seemed to have no end.

"The combat power of the Jiangning Army is so terrifying, no wonder it is known as the strongest army in the world."

Pan Ruzhen on the tower of the city gate was dumbfounded, in fact, let alone him, the officials next to him were even more unbearable than him.

After the Liukou stopped attacking the city, Ma Sidi could finally put down his work and ran to the city gate tower to watch the battle, he suddenly pointed to the front and said: "Lord Governor, you see, the cavalry below has already divided the victory and defeat, and the thieves have been defeated!" ”

Pan Ruzhen looked down and sure enough...... After such a long battle, the cavalry of the Jiangning Army had already annihilated most of the cavalry of that tribe, and then rushed towards the thieves who tried to surround them one after another.

When the frightened foot soldiers saw that their cavalry had been routed, they let out a cry without any hesitation, and then fled in all directions.

"The overall situation of this battle has been decided, and the Jiangning army has won!"

Pan Ruzhen suddenly let out a long sigh, to be honest, even he didn't know his mood at the moment, Jiang Ningjun's victory was obviously a good thing, but he was not happy at all.

Sure enough, after the victory, the cavalry did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but went around in a circle towards Li Zicheng's main formation......
