Braving the continuous bombardment of the Zhao battalion's artillery, the infantry array in the middle of the Shun army was struggling at a distance of about 600 paces. The formation of the horse armies on both flanks was even looser, but it was also affected by the deafening artillery bombardment, and many of the horses jumped in shock, which was difficult to control, which greatly disrupted the order of the march.

As the commander of the horse army of the Shun army, Gao Yigong, the mighty general of Dashun, decided to let the army immediately launch a counterattack from both flanks to alleviate his own difficult situation. But seeing the black smoke floating above the potholes and pits where the sparks were still burning in the vast field, almost in an instant, more than 10,000 Shun army and horse troops broke away from the central infantry army from both sides and expanded to the periphery like scattered sand. At the same time, the central infantry army of the Shun army also set up all kinds of portable small cannons in the hoarse shouting orders of the officers, and began to bombard the Zhao battalion.

Several stray bullets whizzed past Peng Guang's head, he lowered his body, his eyes widened angrily, and said: "Order the right and rear two posts to concentrate on the big Buddha Lang machine artillery on both sides, and the front and left two posts to concentrate on Hongyi artillery to hit the center!" As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "Let the thieves see who is Lao Tzu and who is the grandson!" ”

The four outposts of Qihun camp lined up, Ha Mingyuan's outpost and Wang Guangen's left outpost are in the center, while Wei Shanhong's right outpost and Yang Youxian's back post are at both ends. The Qihun battalion, which was facing it head-on, could not take care of the Shun army and horse army that had a sudden move, but there was still a lot that could be done. Since the Shun army was separated, Peng Guang did not plan to give them a chance to meet again. He planned to use the Big Buddha Lang cannon to completely cut the gap between the Shun army's horse and foot, and also squeeze the Shun army's infantry army to the center, and then use the No. 2 Hongyi cannon to bombard the dense Shun army's infantry array, in order to cause more damage.

The sound of cannon is like rolling thunder, echoing in the heavens and the earth endlessly. The left and right flanks of the Zhao battalion, which had detected the movement of the Shun army's horse army, immediately began to fire large-scale artillery to block it. But the Shun army and the horse army were obviously experienced, and they galloped wantonly on the empty and boundless field, trying their best to distance themselves from each other, and it seemed that the sky was full of stars and scattered, but in fact, each team was looking at the flag and moving.

Zhou Jin, the commander of the Zhao battalion on the left flank, looked at the rumbling and galloping Shun army and horse army, and called on the soldiers to set up all kinds of obstacles to prevent the other party from suddenly attacking. The Heren pole, which had been cruising farther out, was oppressed by the oncoming forces of the Shun army and the horse army, and was forced to shrink inward, and lined up with their backs to the infantry line.

After a while, the left flank of the Zhao camp was already approaching the banner of the Shun army horse army in the formation of a thousand steps, and from a distance, the seemingly scattered war horses seemed to have a spirit in their hearts, and they gathered into several close-knit squads in an instant. These squads galloped out of the large array from all directions, as swift as sharp arrows, and struck directly at the left flank of Zhao Ying.

"Whew-"

The long horn sounded one after another, and Zhou Jin looked at the end of the empty field, and several black lines were winding into a small snake that looked like a wriggling snake, and he knew that this was the Shunjun horse team marching towards him. Not far away, the birdsmen squirmed in rows and rows to the fence and prepared after the antlers, waiting for the enemy to enter the firing range. More than a dozen No. 2 Hongyi cannons and Da Folang machine guns were also readjusted according to the movements of the Shun army and the horse army, and the gun trucks pushed and pulled back and forth, accompanied by the shouts and shouts of the soldiers.

The soldiers of the Zhao battalion on the left flank were busy, and the vanguard of the Shun army and the horse army on the opposite side was about to reach 300 steps in an instant. They were all light riders, about 2,000 people, divided into several groups of horses and horses. Zhou Jin climbed the earthen platform to look, and several feather arrows swept through the air.

"The enemy harasses our army with archers!"

Zhou Jin heard the military report and looked around, but when he saw that the banner of the army in this formation was a little to the left and a little to the right, he knew that the right wing of his army was also facing a similar situation to the left wing at this time.

"Stabilize the front, no advance or retreat without an order, and fight back with a bird!" Zhou Jin exclaimed.

The situation on the entire battlefield is still quite clear at present, the Shun army, which was strongly blocked by the Zhao battalion head-on, played to its strengths and avoided its weaknesses, gave full play to the many advantages of the horse army, outflanked the two wings of the Zhao battalion under the command of Gao Yigong, and divided the archers to attack and disturb from a distance, and its main purpose was to rely on random shooting to suppress the left and right flanks of the Zhao battalion, so as to cover the movement of the large army.

"Hongyi cannon and big Buddha cannon are in place!"

At the front of the front, the gunners waved their flags and shouted, and the Tang soldiers climbed onto the earthen platform with their hands and feet to pray.

"Fat!" Zhou Jin quickly ordered.

Before the drum stopped, the trumpet sounded, and the left wing artillery fired a salvo as a test gun. He Renji stepped through the diffuse gunpowder smoke alone, came to Zhou Jin and shouted: "The enemy army is coming, I want to lead people to counterattack, you cover me!" ”

Zhou Jin shook his head and said, "No, the chief manager has an order to stick to it." ”

He Ren was furious and said: "The thief Ma Jun has shot and killed many of my brothers, how can I bear it!" "The Zhao Ying horse army was on the outermost side of the left flank, and even if they dodged back and forth, they would inevitably become the main target of the Shun army's archers.

"If you fucking go out, you're going to die!" Zhou Jin scolded. He has fought with the Shun army more than once, and he knows very well what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Shun army. The archers took the lead, not only to contain the two wings of the Zhao battalion, but also with the intention of seducing the Zhao battalion horse army. As long as He Ren couldn't hold his breath and broke away from the infantry array to lead the counterattack, he must have been entertained by the thousands of spear-wielding cavalry of the Shun army after the archers. No matter how brave He Renji and his men are, hand-to-hand combat with enemies several times their size can only lead to a dead end.

"Lao Tzu doesn't stop the thief horse army, wait for thousands of thieves to ride from both sides to the back, the general trend is gone!" He Renji roared.

As he spoke, the cannon guns in the camp of the left flank of the Zhao camp roared, and Zhou Jin looked at it, even though there was a certain degree of turmoil in the Shun army and the horse army that suffered a counterattack, it was different from the previous situation, they were now widely dispersed, and they kept a reasonable distance from the Zhao Ying's firearms troops. After the Shun army archers, a large force of the Shun army's spear-wielding cavalry was still assembled in a roundabout way.

"Damn, what you say is reasonable, but Lao Tzu still doesn't agree!" Zhou Jin knew that He Renji was reasonable, but Guo Ruke's military order had not been reached, and he couldn't watch He Renji attack without authorization.

The two were arguing, and suddenly the military department in this formation rushed to the horse, and said: "Pass the military order of the commander Guo of this formation, don't move lightly on the two wings, and those who violate the order will be killed!" Glancing at He Renji, who was anxious and white-faced, "The horse army on both wings immediately retreated into the infantry formation, and went to the formation within a quarter of an hour to assemble and listen to the order!" After saying that, he immediately galloped away.

"Hear it, and the manager knows that you can't bear it, prophet!" Zhou Jin grabbed the reins of He Renji, "The military order is like a mountain, you give Lao Tzu obediently into the battle!" ”

When He Ren heard this, how could he say anything, sighed and kicked Zhou Jin's hand away, and went by himself.

Guo Ruke, the supreme commander of the battlefield, naturally also saw the intentions of the Shun army.

"The thief Pegasus is like the wind, and if it is delayed any longer, it will definitely penetrate behind our army!" Kong Quanbin, who handed over the right flank to the command of the Chinese officer Guo Tiancai, personally returned to his own position, his face pale.

"Has our horse army entered the battle on the periphery of the right flank?" Guo Ruke, who stood solemnly with his hands folded, asked.

"In!" Kong Quanbin replied sweating profusely, not knowing what Guo Ruke's intention was to collect the two-wing horse army into the battle at this critical moment. Relying on the superiority of numbers and mobility, the Shun army had a bold and old-fashioned plan to outflank the entire Zhao Ying array, and in this unsheltered wilderness of Ma Pingchuan, the Zhao Ying could only watch the Shun army move arbitrarily.

"The two wings of the reserve force protect the rear of our army, and the four outposts of the Hun camp are set up in front to stop the attack!" Guo Ruke spat and spitted, and two military orders popped out of his mouth.

"What?" Kong Quanbin's eyes widened. The previous military order said that the reserve troops reserved on both wings were originally to deal with the outflanking of the Shun army, but if the frontal blockade was stopped, the Shun army infantry army would inevitably seize the opportunity to rush in, and if the Shun army and horse infantry attacked in front and rear, their own situation would be even more critical.

Kong Quanbin's mouth moved, and while the Tang soldiers had not left, he was eager to persuade Guo Ruke to take back his life, but who knew that Guo Ruke saw his thoughts, stretched out his palm to stop him: "Don't worry, follow the order." ”

"Yes." Kong Quanbin, the old man, knew the weight of this sentence, swallowed the words back into his stomach, sighed secretly and found a place to sit down.

After the onslaught of the four outposts of the Hun camp in front of the Zhao battalion, the Shun infantry has paid more than 1,000 casualties so far, but it is only a hundred steps forward. At this time, Zhao Ying's firepower suddenly weakened, they hurriedly organized a queue, and then took advantage of the time to move forward quickly, and soon the distance between the two sides was only two hundred steps.

"Woohoo Woo

The Shunjun infantry shot vigorously into the sky while running, and the soldiers of the Qihun battalion who received Guo Ruke's military order did not fight back, hiding behind the wide and tall wooden planks of several people who were diagonally propped up in front of the formation. The sound of arrows hitting the planks was crisp, but it didn't cause any effective damage. However, the soldiers of the Shun army were still happy to draw their bows and shoot arrows, as if only in this way could they get enough security.

The restless Kong Quanbin is in the same state as Gu Jun's life at the moment, but Guo Ruke is as stable as Mount Tai.

"The thief infantry army has advanced fifty steps!"

When Guo Ruke heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes, clenched the token in his hand, and said loudly: "Let Peng Guang beat Lao Tzu hard!" After speaking, he turned his head and asked sharply, "Where is Ma Jun?" ”

"The subordinates are here!" Guo Ruke's voice did not fall, but listening to the neighing of the horse, he flew over the fence of the formation with his horse, and the sound of the flood should be harmonious, and everyone looked at it together, it was He Renji who was equipped with people and horses, "The subordinate horse army has reassembled in the formation from the left and right wings, waiting to land at any time!" ”

"Okay, you immediately lead people out of battle from the front, and cooperate with the Hun camp to attack the thief infantry army!" According to the rules, the generals are strictly forbidden to enter and exit by horse, but Guo Ruke didn't care at the moment, but looked at the energetic He Renji and smiled.

"Subordinates take orders!" He Ren roared like a bell, urging the horse to gallop.

Soon, more than 1,000 horses on both sides of the formation rushed around the formation. The iron hooves flipped and brought up thick smoke and dust, Gu Jun covered his mouth and nose with his hands, coughing and staring blankly at those undulating backs.

On the frontal front, when the last few arrows were fired, the shouts of the infantry filled everyone's ears. The officers of the Zhao battalion instructed with horizontal knives, only to see that more than ten large wooden planks filled with feather arrows were pulled down one after another, and the two fronts were in contact, and the several platoons of spearmen of the Qihun battalion, who had been preparing for a long time, raised their shiny spear heads and charged with all their strength within a distance of only seven or eight paces. The main force of the infantry of the Shun army, who had been killed and wounded by the new recruits, was the follow-up light armor soldiers and armored veterans, who quickly climbed over the fence, but were instantly stabbed to the ground by the powerful spears.

One stab and one twitch, clean and neat.

The restructured Zhao battalion mainly used firearms, but in addition to firearms, it was still equipped with a certain proportion of pikemen for melee protection. These pikemen are carefully selected tigers and wolves, all of them are extremely strong, and after a long period of training, they use spears like fingers. There is no redundancy in their movements, and even their minds are polished into iron, and they don't even look at their opponents when they fall in front of them.

The Qihun battalion is a descendant army brought out by Guo Ruke, and unlike Hou Dagui's Wuqi battalion and Xu Hui's Xiaojie battalion, Guo Ruke, who advocates hand-to-hand combat, insists on maintaining a fifty percent proportion of pikemen for the Qihun battalion. Not only are they excellent in battle, but the thick iron armor they wear is beyond the reach of the Shun army. At that time, the pikemen of the Qihun battalion stretched out dense spears, layered like hedgehog hairs forming an iron brush, and each time they stabbed in unison, they could brush away the lives of rows of Shun infantry. They walked with firm steps, stepping on the corpses and slowly advancing like a wall, giving the infantry line of the Shun army, which was originally at the end of the line, a blow to the head. For a short time, the corpses of the road they traveled were not counted.

The pikemen engaged in frontal hand-to-hand combat, and the long-range units of the Qihun battalion, which had withdrawn to the rear, were not idle. In accordance with the instructions of the Chinese army in their own formation, they began to quickly move their positions and reinforce on both sides with guns and gunners.

The sound of fierce battle resounded in the sky in the southeast and northwest, Kong Quanbin suddenly stood up, forcibly suppressed his pounding heart, and squinted his eyes and looked around. When he saw He Renji's horse army flying out like a strong hurricane, he suddenly understood Guo Ruke's intentions.
