With the angry shout of the commander of the Tang army, 3,000 guns fired in unison, and a total of more than 2,500 shots were fired.

"Bang bang bang! ……”

Rows of bright red embers flew together, like a long bright red ribbon, as beautiful as hellfire, with a unique beauty like a death ritual. A large mass of choking white gunpowder smoke poured up, and more than 2,500 small three-coin heavy lead bullets, like a swarm of death bees flying away together, let out a slight and cheerful chirp, and swooped towards Zheng Jun on the opposite side.

The flintlock rifle used by the Tang army has a maximum accurate range of 150 paces, compared to the current distance of 200 steps, of course, the accuracy is impossible, but in the case of such a dense charge of the Zheng army, as long as it is within the maximum range, even if there is no accurate intensive shooting, it can still create a terrible killing effect.

The roaring death bee swarm, chirping and smiling, quickly burrowed into the body of Zheng Jun on the opposite side.

The tiny lead bullets weighing three coins burrowed into the human body, breaking bones, tearing muscles, and the surging bullets churned the internal organs into a pulp, forming a terrible cavity effect.

Zheng Jun in the front row, many people immediately bloomed like a trick, and the people who were hit fell on their backs as if they had been slammed with a heavy hammer.

The impact of this lead bullet was so great that Zheng Jun, who happened to block the lead bullet with a bamboo and rattan shield, could not resist this huge impact, and stumbled backwards one after another. It's just that as soon as they fell, they were immediately trampled to death and injured by the Zheng soldiers who were extremely fanatical and still rushed straight behind, and the scene was a mess.

The first round of shooting, although it was completely impossible to aim, also caused at least more than 600 Zheng soldiers to be killed and injured on the spot, making the Zheng army's formation suddenly chaotic.

When the Zheng army's formation was scattered and the speed was slightly sluggish, the second round of fire salvos began again.

"Bang bang bang! ……”

The gunfire was loud, the embers were flying, and more than 2,500 guns were fired, and more than 2,500 lead bullets roared out, causing more than 800 Zheng soldiers to be killed and wounded as the Zheng army got closer and closer.

The formation of the Qing army suddenly became more and more chaotic, and the speed of the impact became less and less, and the original fanatical and bloodthirsty expressions on the faces of those Zheng soldiers who rushed to the front began to recede, and many people showed extremely frightened expressions, because they didn't know when such bad luck would befall them.

Zheng Jie, who was monitoring behind the battle, saw that his own soldiers were in the dense range of the Tang army, and before they could reach the firing range, they began to appear chaotic and wavering, and the speed and strength of the impact were greatly reduced, and he couldn't help but be angry again.

Damn, two rounds of salvo shots disrupted their own formation, these death-fearing ghosts are really useless, and they really embarrass my Zheng family.

"Give it all to Lao Tzu! Rush up and fight the Tang Army to the end! Don't fucking act like you haven't had enough to eat! Zheng Jie's eyes were bloody, and he roared with his sword.

Zheng Jie scolded sharply, and ordered his guards to step forward to supervise the formation, rectify the formation, and force these Zheng army soldiers who were driven away from pigs and sheep to continue to rush forward, attack the shield, and fight hand-to-hand combat with the Tang army.

"No! The prince must not be impulsive, the Tang army has dense firepower, and our army is insufficient, so we must not let it rush forward again! It is not too late to wait until General Zheng sends troops over, and then organize a charge! Zheng Hua saw that Zheng Jie was so impulsive, so he shouted to stop him on the side.

Zheng Jie's shout by him was also heartbroken.

He thought about it for a while, and felt that Zheng Hua's words seemed to have some truth. Therefore, he immediately ordered the whole army to suspend the attack and disperse on the spot, and the person with the bamboo and rattan shield stood in the front, so as to reduce the damage of the Tang army's shooting.

When the Tang army was about to launch the gun, the messenger sent by Zheng Jie had already rushed back to Beimangcheng to urgently rescue the guard Zheng Hui.

After listening to the envoy's report, Zheng Hui's face turned white, and fine sweat quickly appeared from his forehead.

Isn't it, Zheng Jie's attack this time, not only has he lost 800 cavalry, but now he is directly fighting with the Tang army, so will the arrogant and conceited Zheng Jie really be the opponent of the Tang army that has been in the Warring States for a long time?

It seems that there is no need to ask this question at all. It is conceivable that under the premise of not having enough troops, Zheng Jie's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses will never be the opponent of the Tang army.

Now, there is only one way to hurry up and reinforce Zheng Jie, otherwise, if this prince hangs here, his own general will be the end.

Therefore, Zheng Hui almost did not hesitate to order, so that the other half of the more than 10,000 reinforcements from Thang Long City hurriedly crossed the river to join Zheng Jie's troops, and all of them were under his command.

In addition, among the original 3,000 defenders, Zheng Huifu pulled out 2,000 elites and crossed the river with the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to ensure that there were enough soldiers and horses to help.

Zheng Hui originally wanted to lead the troops himself, but after careful consideration, he finally asked one of his partial generals to lead the troops to join Zheng Jie.

Zheng Hui knows that Zheng Ji thinks very highly of himself, and has always been quite dissatisfied with himself, if he goes to lead the army this time, he is very likely to have contradictions and conflicts with him in command.

With more than 12,000 reinforcements, the general hurriedly crossed the river and finally reached the battlefield after the sixth round of firing of the Tang army began.

Zheng Jie, who originally saw his soldiers and was killed by the Tang army in the distance as if they were in line to be shot in turn, but was helpless, saw these reinforcements finally arrive, and the ecstasy in his heart was difficult to describe in words.

Wow, in this embarrassing moment of waiting to be beaten, I finally waited for reinforcements, so then, I should quickly organize a counterattack.

Rush! Give it all to Lao Tzu! If anyone doesn't rush, they will be killed! Zheng Jie shouted angrily: "The dog entered!" The Tang Army's two volleys disrupted you, what's the use of Lao Tzu raising you such a waste! The more afraid you are, the faster you die, all for Lao Tzu! Rushing to engage the Tang army in hand-to-hand combat is victory! ”

With no way back, they were shot forward, and these poor fellows, whose courage and will had been weakened at this time, were still forced to rush forward, and the situation was quite miserable.

It's just that they have no choice, knowing that their current self, the only way to survive is to rush to the front of the Tang army as soon as possible, and engage the Tang army in hand-to-hand combat, so that they can no longer fight the firecrackers, the only way to save their lives.

As a result, the Zheng soldiers were still staring at the blood-red eyes, shouting and rushing forward, and the Tang army's firecrackers were also ruthlessly fired in turns, and in this distance of only about a hundred paces, the Zheng soldiers kept wailing and falling.

Because the Zheng army had reinforcements to join, with a large number of people, they were not afraid of death, they desperately advanced, and finally arrived about dozens of steps away from the long shield formation, at this time, in the Tang army array, those more than 2,000 Tang army auxiliaries who had been holding on to the ground, have used their strength to eat, and the individual soldiers in their hands shook the sky and thundered, and threw them hard towards the rolling Zheng army formation.

Bang bang! ……”

Dozens of steps away, the deafening sound of continuous explosions resounded into one piece, almost bursting people's eardrums, the dazzling golden firelight, in the large cloud of suffocating whistle smoke from time to time, broken limbs and blood in the air burst out in all directions, screams one after another, the scene was like a bloody hell.

The Tang Army's unexpected earth-shattering thunder bombardment can be described as a fatal blow to the Zheng army's soldiers.

These fragments had a killing radius of more than ten paces and the killing effect of the individual soldier was terrifying.

These 2,000 single-handed earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown intensively, and a total of more than 1,600 of them exploded smoothly, killing more than 3,000 Zheng Jun in an instant, and countless people were injured.

Many people's ears have been shaken to the point of deafness, and they are stunned in place, not knowing what to do next.

For a time, the Zheng army's formation was in chaos, and the morale fell to the bottom.

At this time, the second round of individual thunder throwing by the Tang Army's auxiliaries began again.

"Bang bang bang! ……”

Dozens of steps away, there was another continuous violent explosion, human stumps and blood and internal organs flew in all directions, and as many as a thousand Zheng soldiers who had no time to retreat and disperse, and they were killed in an instant.

Immediately after that, another third round of throwing began.

And when the earth-shattering thunder was mighty, the three thousand flint guns were fired in unison, and the dense gunfire and the deafening explosions were intertwined with each other, deafening, and did not stop for a moment.

In the face of such a powerful firearm attack by the Tang army, in the face of this violent massacre that was almost absolute death, most of the Zheng army that rushed into battle with flesh and blood, only ten steps away from Haogou, almost a stone's throw away from the Tang army, finally many Zheng troops completely collapsed.

A large number of Zheng Jun threw away their weapons one after another, turned around and fled in tears, like a group of pigs who did not care about their stomachs, and there was no organization and discipline, everyone was desperately retreating and running, lest they fall behind, and they would become the ghosts of the Tang Army.

After paying heavy casualties, the rest of the Zheng army, extremely lucky and almost subconsciously, rushed to the Tang army's big shield, but before they had time to wave the weapons in their hands, a large number of Tang army spearmen with complete armor and sharp steel spears could not hold it back, they used all their strength to use the 4-meter stainless steel spear that had been accumulated for a long time, and stabbed at these Zheng troops who were chaotic and low in formation.

A 4-meter-long stainless steel spear, with a sharp and terrifying three-edged blood trough head, stabbed at the Zheng army soldiers who were fleeing for their lives, as if they had eyes.

Being stabbed by the three-edged stainless steel spear head engraved with a deep blood groove is like being kissed by a poisonous snake, which can be said to be dead when touched, and dead when touched. Under the ferocious stabbing of the Tang army's spearmen, the Zheng soldiers screamed again and again, constantly struggling and falling to their deaths.

"Don't run away! If there are escapees, kill them! Seeing that Jianfang was already close to the Tang army, but such a formation was in chaos, Zheng Jie was furious, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Go, slaughter all those who escaped from the battle!" ”

A large number of cavalry guards roared away, slashing and slaughtering the routs who had managed to escape to the rear, killing the poor fellows with great sorrow and screaming.

Under the strong suppression of Zheng Jie, the Zheng army began to restore order, and they rushed over quickly without fear of death like crazy beasts, and began to make a strong impact on the Tang army's gun and shield battle array.

Because the enemy had arrived in front of the battle, in order to avoid killing and injuring their own people, the Tang army auxiliaries had to retreat together with the firecrackers, but at this time of the battle, they had already killed and wounded more than 10,000 Zheng soldiers together with the firecrackers, and the efficiency was amazing.

More brutal and bloody hand-to-hand combat has officially begun.

Above the solid shield wall, spears flew up and down, like a roaring poisonous dragon, constantly piercing Zheng Jun's head, neck and chest, and the sharp and strong three-edged steel spear head, like the claws of death, kept grabbing the lives of one Zheng Jun after another.

At this time, in order to save their lives and for their military exploits, everyone rushed forward more and more frantically, and the spikes of each big shield were like barbecue frogs, and they were full of Zheng Jun's corpses that kept coming. Fearless of death, they rushed forward with the tips and spikes of their spears and spikes, and frantically slashed and slashed the spearmen and shield soldiers of the Tang Army behind them.

Because the Zheng army had too many troops, in the face of this dense and powerful impact, the shield wall of the Tang army finally began to loosen, and larger and larger gaps appeared, and the shield soldiers and spearmen of the Tang army also continued to fall, but as soon as someone died or fell, new soldiers immediately filled their positions, ensuring the integrity of the entire battle array.

In such a pure cold weapon fight, the army's guts, courage, organization, discipline and other key factors are extremely tested, and in these things, the Tang army is far stronger than the Zheng army.

What's more, the Tang army had a big shield as a solid protection, and it was quite difficult for the Zheng army to cross the big shield to attack the shield soldiers and spearmen behind. Because of this important factor, Zheng Jun's battle damage and death were aggravated.

After a bloody battle, the battle loss exchange ratio between the Tang army and the Zheng army was basically maintained at about 1 to 4. For the Tang army, after resisting the initial onslaught, they have begun to gain the upper hand from the stalemate.

However, the Liukou soon relied on the superiority of their troops, and the entire battle array continued to extend to both sides, and they tried to encircle the Tang army's gun and shield battle formation from both sides to achieve the effect of a joint attack on three sides.

Liukou's intentions were quickly seen through by Weng Zhiqi, the deputy mayor of the ninth town of the Tang Army.

He flipped the command flag in his hand, and quickly issued a military order, so that the rampant general members who had been staying on both flanks, and let these most elite heavy infantry in the Tang army go out to attack and protect the two wings.

After the military order was issued, those rampant team members covered with heavy armor from head to toe and armed to the teeth, like a tiger coming out of the mountain and a dragon going to the sea, roared loudly, brandished heavy weapons such as tiger knives, tiger spears, long-handled knives, and Houbei army sickles, jumped into the wings of the Zheng army, and slashed and killed.

These most elite heavy infantry in the Tang Army, they were like miniature tanks, in the unprepared Zheng army array, rampage, as if into a no-man's land. They slashed mercilessly, slashing and screaming everywhere they went.

Zheng Jun's momentum was instantly stifled, on the contrary, under the fierce attack of the Tang army's rampant members, the Zheng army in front of him kept screaming and falling, and the entire formation began to retreat continuously.

Seeing his own soldiers, the strength was still twice that of the Tang Army, but in such a stalemate battle, he could not have the slightest upper hand, but began to gradually decline and be chaotic. Zheng Jie, who was watching the battle in the back, was angry and anxious.
