Chapter 132: The Battle of Puyang River II

"Boom." With a bang, just a few feet before the Nanyang battalion rushed into the camp, the Sun family's battalion, which had been silent, opened fire violently.

All of them were scattered bullets, almost like a steel storm, which stunned the soldiers of the Nanyang battalion at once.

The outpost that rushed to the front was torn apart almost instantly, and countless people fell to the ground and wailed.

The armor ratio in Zhang Xuan's army has always been a problem, Zhang Xuan now has thirty or forty thousand people, but all the armor of the whole army is concentrated together, and there are no five thousand collars, so many of the soldiers are wearing ordinary clothes to rush into battle.

It's better in winter, and there's a padded jacket on the outside.

However, even if the soldiers who charged into the formation were full of armor, they might not be able to withstand the rapid attack of this artillery.

The Nanyang battalion is the Nanyang battalion, if Zhang Xuan's other battalion heads, this artillery, can knock down the entire battalion head, and he has to retreat, but the Nanyang battalion, as Cao Zongyu's fundamental army, still has strength. Even though there was blood all over the ground, even though hundreds of people were killed at once, there were still a few officers who shouted loudly: "The officers and soldiers are just this round of artillery, and they can't fire the artillery now." ”

"Rush. Hurry up, take advantage of this gap, or those brothers will all die in vain. ”

"Kill. There is a kind of beating Lao Tzu to death. ”

There were shouts of everything, and almost the moment the artillery stopped, everyone pounced.

But at this time, the sound of crackling fried beans was not very loud, so that in Zhang Xuan's position, he could only try to find this sound in the noisy sound of the battlefield to hear it.

However, even if Zhang Xuan couldn't hear it, just the picture he saw in the clairvoyant mirror was enough for him to understand what was going on.

A team of soldiers overturned, and the power of more than 1,000 muskets in this section made the Nanyang battalion also deterred.

"Boom." With a bang, countless small cannons rang out again.

Or scattershot.

The fire guns and these tiger cannons resonated with each other, just separated by a rudimentary fence, as if they were a natural danger.

Although Zhang Xuan was a little touched in his heart, he had now delegated the command of the front to Cao Zongyu. He is not easy to meddle, and he also knows that Cao Zongyu knows what to do. And he was used to seeing the dead, and he ignored the soldiers who had died in battle, focusing on places he had not noticed.

"Tiger Squat Cannon." Zhang Xuan said secretly: "The Ming army is accustomed to heavy artillery and light guns, and for many soldiers, they prefer to use tiger squat cannons than fire guns. In such a defensive battle, the power exerted by the Tiger Squat Cannon is no worse than that of the Fire Gun. ”

Immediately, Zhang Xuan thought of a Chinese firearm, that is, a gun. During the Taiping War, the Qing court was heavily equipped with guns. It should not be accidental.

Zhang Xuan thought silently. I thought of a lot of ideas, and wrote down the three firearms, such as the firearm, the gun, and the tiger squat. He had an intuition, one that lined up to be shot, as in the European battlefield, would probably not happen on the Chinese battlefield.

Zhang Xuan didn't know where his idea came from. It's just a gut feeling.

After a while, Cao Zongyu also made a decision on the side of the Sun family's camp, and several tiger squatting cannons were carried up, and the soldiers of the Nanyang camp were in front of the Sun family's camp, and they were hesitant.

But the fact that they were stagnant before the Sun family's camp did not mean that they could not gnaw in the face of other camps, on the contrary, some of the other camps were still fighting repeatedly in front of the camp, while others were already crumbling.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Put a signal." ”

"Yes." He Hutou said.

Then a rocket shot into the sky. It exploded in the sky, and it was like a white flower blooming in the sky.

It's just that the voices on the battlefield are extremely mixed, and Zhang Xuan is afraid that the order will not be delivered, so he has already arranged the manpower.

Not far from the east of the battlefield, after someone saw this signal, he immediately shot the signal arrow in his hand, and it was like a beacon fire, paragraph after paragraph, and the news was transmitted to Yang Shenzu's eyes.

Yang Shenzu shouted loudly and said, "Attack." ”

Huiji Mountain is also a big mountain in the southeast, the mountain is high and dense, but for Yang Shenzu, this road is not enough for him to stop, he followed Luo Rucai, what kind of mountain did not climb over, the only thing that made him feel a little troublesome was that there were a lot of horses, and the hidden mountain trails could barely allow a horse to pass in some places, so that the team stretched for a long time, so the team was still in the mountains and did not come out.

At this moment, there are only about a thousand horses around Yang Shenzu.

However, for Yang Shenzu, it is enough.

"Rush." Yang Shenzu took the lead, bypassed two hills, and suddenly appeared in the northeast direction of the official army camp, that is, in the direction of the side and back.

The movement of thousands of cavalry galloping rapidly, even on the battlefield, could not be completely blocked.

It's just that the soldiers in the southeast still lack experience in dealing with the cavalry of the brigade, and they didn't find out until Yang Shenzu appeared in their sight. But at the moment it is no longer possible to cope.

Zhang Xuan had already smashed all the plans in his hands, leaving only the Linying battalion by his side, the two battalions of the Runing Army, plus the Yiwu battalion, the three battalions were pressed together, except for the Sun family battalion, all the battalions were under tremendous pressure.

And Sun Jiaji did not dare to support other camps.

Without him, because he found that thousands of cavalry also appeared on the opposite side, as long as the soldiers in the Sun family's camp dared to take a step out of the camp, they would immediately face the impact of thousands of cavalry.

This again reflects the shortcomings of the official and military camps

Even if there is no corridor, there are hidden channels between the battalions and the Chinese army, and the enemy cannot cut off the troop transfer channel.

But there was no such thing in the camp set up by Sun Jiaji.

As a result, the Sun family's camp was almost isolated, unless troops were transferred from behind the formation, which would take a long time, not to mention that the enemy had already attacked from the flanks and rear.

Just when Sun Jiaji was worried, the last straw that broke the camel's back finally appeared.

The easternmost camp of the Huang family collapsed.

In fact, it is no wonder that the Huang family or Huang Zongxi is not to blame.

After all, recruits are all the same, they can fight against the wind, but they can't fight against the wind, the more they are at a disadvantage, the more panicked they are, the more panicked they are, and the more chaotic they are, the easier it is to make mistakes. And on the battlefield, it is less than anyone's fault. Countless mistakes accumulate and the crash is a matter of course.

This natural collapse naturally triggers a natural chain reaction.

In addition to the Sun family's camp, the collapse of all aspects began.

Countless soldiers didn't dare to do anything, they turned around and ran, and each family could only control the old people in their own family, and the others couldn't control it at all. The collapse of the battalions stimulated the morale of the rebels, and for a time the army was excited and bravely stepped forward.

One, two, three, each battalion almost fell in response.

"My lord, let's go." Zhang Qinchen said: "You can't do anything, you should keep your body promising." I'm going to cut off the queen for the adults. ”

Sun Jiaji took this bit of lost soul, and was almost supported on a horse, Zhang Qinchen with his fire team, there were only about 1,000 people, and the soldiers who had just been transferred had not been trained much. It's not going to be of much use at all.

It's just that as soon as their group came out of the camp, they saw that the rout of the brigade was pursued and killed by Yang Shenzu's cavalry.

Zhang Qinchen swept the entire battlefield, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he hugged Sun Jiaji and walked west.

To the west is nothing else, it is the Puyang River.

The Puyang River is not a big river in the first place, and there are many boats on the river, with the prestige of the Sun family in the local area, they can be saved immediately, of course, it is best to find the boats. With a ship, you can escape the pursuit of thieves.

As soon as I came to the shore, I heard the sound of horses' hooves behind me. Zhang Qinchen looked back and was surprised.

Because everyone is not stupid, and soon they all know that escaping to the boat, or simply swimming across the river, is a way to survive, anyway, most of the people in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River know how to water. And Yang Shenzu followed behind, driving the large group of men and horses to rush here.

"Array." Zhang Qinchen lined up more than 1,000 firecrackers on the riverbank. "Fat."

"Bang." There was a burst of gunsmoke, and countless routs fell to the ground, and for a time the scene was extremely chaotic, and the screams were endless.
