The cavalry of the Liao army was very scattered on the battlefield, and the forward team of seven or eight hundred horsemen gave up the large array of the Song army in front of them, and rushed straight towards the artillery fortress. Because of the lack of troops, Zhao Xingde handed over most of the elite soldiers of the Baoyi Army to the large infantry army in front. Except for a few musketeers, most of the guards were state and county soldiers. Facing the cavalry that rushed towards him like an endless tide of rage. The enemy has not yet been killed, and many state and county soldiers are already like dead people, and fear has enveloped the entire artillery position, not only because the ground is trembling slightly, but also because the heart is beating hard, and many people's legs are weak. Some are secretly looking backwards.

"Good boy, so many people sent to death." Ma Yuan muttered, but his face was extremely ugly, and the last to die was the enemy or me?

"The more menacing the Liao army is, the more it can't retreat. There is still a way to live, and to retreat is to die! Jia Yuanzhen said loudly, "If you retreat today, the Liao thieves will have to invade your homes and rob your children's wealth and ......."

Xiao Yi is especially useful for those illiterate soldiers. Therefore, Zhao Xingde deliberately planted the literate and eloquent scholars in the state and county barracks to stimulate morale. However, as soon as the Liao army came up, it stormed the artillery barracks with more than 10,000 cavalry, and many of the state and county soldiers were farmers and craftsmen not long ago, and they had never even dreamed of such a battle. At this moment, most of the soldiers were pale, and everyone understood the officer's words, but it was a moment to understand, and it was another thing to feel weak in their hearts. The officers were dry-mouthed, and many were still in a state of war. If it weren't for the restrictions of the barracks and the constraints of the officers, I am afraid that someone would have fled.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

With the roar of artillery, black cannonballs flew towards the Liao cavalry. The cavalry of the Liao army was so dense that almost every shell hit the target, and the direct hit, regardless of the people and horses, penetrated through, and the cavalry fell under the huge momentum even if it was stained with a little edge by the cannonball. Every shell caused chaos in the Liao cavalry group. In just a few breaths, countless cavalry fell from their horses. However, the artillery bombardment was not enough to completely stop the advance of the Liao army. The cavalry, armed with bows, arrows, knives and guns, rushed towards the fort one after another, and in an instant, they had already reached the bottom of the hill. Hundreds of cavalry automatically divided into two sides, as if two raging currents surrounded the entire artillery barracks. Braving heavy artillery fire, the Khitan cavalry desperately urged their horses to rush up the hillside. The Song army was condescending, with shotguns and guns like hail, and every moment the Liao soldiers who had been shot fell and rolled down the hill, but more cavalry rushed up from the mountain.

"Quick, quick—" the gun commander shouted hoarsely as his eyes almost burst into flames, "shotgun!" Shotgun!"

"Quick, wet cannon brush!" "Where's the medicine bag?"

In the artillery position, the gunners fired almost as fast as they could. There are not enough crossbowmen, there are also insufficient musketeers, and the state and county soldiers are not used. The pressure to repel the Liao army was almost entirely on the artillery battalion. The soft armor worn by the gunners, once the Liao cavalry broke through the position, a battalion could not survive a few people. Most of the gunners kept their heads down, carrying shells, powder packets, scrubbing the chambers, and sometimes they didn't even have time to wait for the chambers to cool down completely, so they tested the temperature with their hands, risking pushing the packets into the chambers in advance. Some people are screaming and shouting with all their might, some people are calm, there are big drops of sweat on their foreheads, some people are coughing loudly, some people are exhaling loudly, and their mouths are full of gunpowder.

The defense line of the Yamashita Prefecture soldiers was crumbling as soon as it was attacked by cavalry. The Khitan cavalry did not rush the infantry as soon as they came up, but first shook the Song army's formation with cavalry shooting, and most of the cavalry threw dozens of paces away, and arrows rained down. There are even cavalrymen with a brave spirit, braving cannonballs and guns, desperately rushing to a dozen paces away and shooting arrows to kill the foot soldiers. Although the Song army had a condescending posture, it was intimidated by these outlaws who were accustomed to blood when they were in close combat, and they could not use three points of their strength. The arrows fired from the opposite side flew down one after another, and many state and county soldiers with thin armor were shot at the vital point and fell to the ground, and more of the injured by the arrows covered their wounds and wailed, and the defense line of the state and county soldiers soon came to the verge of collapse, and some even turned around and fled backwards.

"No retreat, no retreat!" The Judge Advocate Corps wielded their blades and shouted loudly, desperately trying to stop the guards from retreating.

However, many of the soldiers had been frightened by the cavalry, and some even yelled at the guts: "His grandmother's, if you don't let Lao Tzu, you will die with Lao Tzu!" "He actually drew his sword at the military law team. Most of the soldiers in the prefecture and county were fellow villagers, and they shared the same hatred for the enemy when they were facing the enemy, and when they fled, there were also many people, and one person took the lead, and suddenly more people rushed towards the thin military law team. Some shouted threats, some begged for mercy, and the faces of many of the soldiers of the military law team turned pale, and even the squad leader couldn't help but look back at the military judge.

Lu Xing's face was slightly cold, he strode forward, pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, and just met the knife-wielding deserter who pushed away the military law team. "Get out of the way – good dogs don't get in the way!" The man shouted, slashing at him with one hand and at him with the other. Lu Xing stepped aside, and the man was about to flee when Hu Lu's feet stretched out, and he immediately tripped the wicked man. The two military law teams around him were waiting to step forward to capture the deserter, but Lu Xing stepped forward and stepped on the deserter's chest, no matter whether he resisted or begged for mercy, he only slashed down with a knife. Blood gushed out, and the eyes of a head rolled down, and the military court team and the deserters near the left were stunned.

"Those who escape from the battle, there is no forgiveness for killing-" Lu Xing was covered with blood on most of his body, and suddenly he didn't notice the strange gaze around him, and viciously squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Those who collide with military law will be killed without forgiveness, and their heads will be displayed to the public!" The relatives sat down and distributed ......" He held a bloody horizontal knife in his hand and walked over to meet the rout soldiers who were still noisy.

A moment later, in front of the Song army's artillery fortification, behind the state and county soldiers' defense lines, spears provoked dozens of bloody heads. Outside is the Liao cavalry is heavily besieged, inside is the murderous military law team, the state and county soldiers have nowhere to escape, so they have to fight to the death, however, the heart is weak, and the resistance to the Liao soldiers is getting weaker and weaker.

Seeing that the Song army could not bear the vicious battle, the Khitan soldiers besieging the artillery fortress were bold, taking advantage of the gap between the Song army's loading artillery, the Liao soldiers urged the horses to swarm up, rushed to the front, and some jumped off their horses, while brandishing scimitars, while climbing the low wall. Some urged their horses to find a place where they could jump, and tried to jump over the low wall of the Song army's defensive line.

"Raise the gun, light the fire—"

"Bang-" "Bang-" "Bang-"

Clumps of projectiles were fired from the smoke, but they were not as powerful as they could be.

Behind the pikemen and long-handled axemen, the few musketeers completed one action after another under the orders of the officers, and these people were all state and county soldiers who were temporarily trained by the Baoyi Army after they were concentrated in Jiangzhou. Before this war, many people had only let go of the firecrackers a few times, or even only the empty guns that were not loaded with guns. These improvised concentrations were often afraid of the power of gunpowder explosions, so they deliberately reduced their charges and even emptied their guns. However, because of the lack of officers and veterans in the musket battalion, it is often impossible to detect them in time. The same volley of firearms is much less powerful than the old battalions of the Zhenguo Army and the Baoyi Army, not only are the guns scattered and inaccurate, but even the range is different.

After launching a round, Xu Laoliu silently counted to "seven". Out of the corner of his eye, he swept left and right.

No one found out that Xu Laoliu didn't ignite the fire at all just now. At the beginning, he was reluctant to stand in front of him with a knife to fight, but since witnessing a bombing incident, Xu Lao Liu has never lit a fire again. When the firecracker fired a salvo, it was very easy to charge indiscriminately, he casually charged and loaded like other firecrackers, compacted the ammunition with a long rod, and then set up the firecracker, only at the last moment of ignition, Xu Laoliu secretly let the firecracker stay away from the lead, and did not ignite it at all. The loud noise and black smoke emitted by the fire bolt shrouded the surroundings, and at this critical time, no one had time to look around, even if they found it, Xu Lao Liu also had a lot of excuses, nervousness, hand trembling, etc. In this way, from the beginning of the war to the present, Xu Lao Liu has not let go of a single gun.

"Charge, load—"

"Raise the gun, light the fire—"

"Bang Bang

Xu Laoliu silently counted "eight" and "nine...... He was secretly proud in his heart, and every time he said a word, he felt like he had earned more. But by the time he counted "fourteen", the line of pikemen and axemen in front of him had finally been broken through by dozens of heavily armored cavalry. In an instant, "Get on the gun!" "Spear stab!" The cries were everywhere, and many gunners had just stabbed their guns into the barrels, and rushed towards the Liao iron cavalry that was coming straight ahead. Xu Laoliu inserted the wooden stick at the end of the spear less than half and couldn't insert it, and it was not easy to shake out the heavily compacted ammunition. Although no one saw it, he still sweated profusely, "Damn, damn it." Xu Lao Liu was muttering and scolding, and suddenly a war horse rushed towards him, and he was caught off guard by the war horse, and the back of his neck was cold, and he didn't know anything.

"Hahaha, Song Zhu is really bluffing." Xiao Xiangsheng said to the left and right, "As long as you rush into the artillery array, slaughtering those gunners is as easy as killing sheep." He reached out and wiped his forehead. Xiao Xiangsheng led the cavalry to charge at the risk of death just now, and an iron bullet narrowly grazed in front of him, if he missed by one point, he would definitely burst out of his brain. The near-death of the enemy only stimulated the ferocity of this fierce general, and he urged his subordinates to storm the artillery positions of the Song army at the expense of casualties.

"It can't go on like this!" Zhao Xingde frowned, and he shouted loudly, "Tooth Barracks!" ”
