Chapter 343: Hard Stone

Zhang Yanwu was very surprised when he heard this, and he said:

"Wei Hou is too aggressive."

As soon as Zhang Yanwu finished speaking, there was movement in the demon thief array. The two demon thief phalanxes facing the Jihu camp actually didn't care about their own formation and casualties, all the pigs rushed forward, and the guys rushed up to the Jihu camp that released arrows in front of the formation.

Seeing this, Zhang Yanwu had already eaten, he frowned and said:

"The thief is dead? Can two legs catch up with four legs? β€œ

Lan Ziyi said indifferently:

"Compared with the matter of whether the demon thieves can catch up with the official army, I am more concerned about why the morale of the demon thieves can still support them to pursue, you must know that the demon thieves who were in our diplomatic hands in Laibei Town yesterday all collapsed with a single charge."

The two demon thief phalanxes who came out of the front ignored the formation, just like two gangsters fighting in the streets, picked up the guys and chased after the cavalry in front of them. Of course, the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion would not stand there waiting for the thieves to rush up, they drove their horses to run ahead of the thieves, maintaining a distance from each other, and kept turning around and firing arrows.

The demon thieves stopped and lined up in formation, and they couldn't defend themselves against the rain of demon thieves and arrows, and the casualties were even greater when they ran, and in Lan Ziyi's opinion, the Jihu Camp was now harvesting life and cutting wheat.

But the huge casualties of the demon thieves were exchanged for the passage of the large army behind them, and after the Jihu battalion was driven away by the two demon thief phalanxes, the other demon thieves immediately got up and accelerated their speed to attack, and behind the demon thief's forward, Lei Youde and his elite armor could already be seen.

Zhang Yanwupi twitched the corners of his mouth twice without smiling, and said:

"I kind of understand why Wei Hou values this Lei Youde, and he really has two thoughts."

Lan Ziyi said:

"Lei Youde has been fighting with Taiwei since he crossed the river, although he didn't get a bargain, but he also played in the middle of the standard. What kind of character is Taiwei, that Lei Youde can actually fight with Taiwei, do you think I should value him? β€œ

Zhang Yanwu sneered twice when he heard this, and asked:

"Wei Hou, how did you win or lose against Lei Youde in Jiangbei?"

兰子义 says:

"Each has its own winners and losers, but the situation on my side is more complicated, I was also tied up by Zhang Zhongtang's people in Fangcheng. Compared with me and his battle situation in Jiangbei, Zhang Senjun should be more concerned about the things in front of him. β€œ

Zhang Yanwu said with a smile:

"When you die, you die, and nothing else happens."

Lan Ziyi smiled and shook his head and said:

"You have to think about living before you die, right? You see, although the group of Huazi who came in front of them was a rabble, they had the courage and morale to pursue the official cavalry, didn't Zhang Senjun care how they did it? β€œ

张遃武 says:

"What did Wei Hou see?"

Lan Ziyi pointed to the fecal array of demon thieves who were getting smaller and smaller and said:

"Look at the demon thief array, the leaders between the ranks are all armor soldiers. You see their running and stretching out their hands, that is the veteran, the elite of a hundred battles who have fought with me many times in Jiangbei. β€œ

Zhang Yanwu followed Lan Ziyi's direction and observed carefully, and then he expanded his gaze to the other teams that were marching and were about to fight Qi Rongxun. 张遃武 says:

"After you said that, I found out that this is really the case, and this is also the case in other demon thief formations. It seems that for today's battle, the demon thief side has also worked hard to stabilize their front. β€œ

兰子义 says:

Of course, Zhang Senjun is right to say this, but according to my understanding of Lei Youde, he can place so many veterans of his own side in the team of displaced people who have just joined him, and it also shows a more important thing, that is, Lei Youde has already controlled this team of displaced people. Yesterday, the demon thieves attacked the village and did not see so many veterans in the ranks of the homeless, it seems that Lei Youde also took the attacking officer and army to borrow a knife to kill people yesterday, and consumed a lot of military leaders. β€œ

张遃武 says:

"But I don't think the team that attacked the village yesterday was as unbearable as it was today."

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"It's those thorns that are consumed, not the soldiers under my hands, I'm afraid that the generals I led the troops yesterday are the generals among the homeless people."

Zhang Yanwu nodded when he heard this, and stopped talking.

The two chatted lightly, as if they were strolling in a leisurely court, but the demon thieves did press over, and the huge number of demon thieves was placed in front of Lan Ziyi like a black cloud pressing down on the city, and the soldiers standing in the formation were nervously swallowing saliva.

Lan Ziyi completely tensed the muscles of his face, trying not to show an extra expression, he silently watched the mixed soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who were alone in the front row, trying to find Qi Rongxun from the dense front.

Qi Rongxun is not as calm as Lan Ziyi now, although his eyes are also focused on his front, but in front of him is a surging wave of demon thieves.

The demon thieves waved the long and short weapons in their hands and surrounded Qi Rongxun from both wings, and Qi Rongxun silently calculated the distance between the demon thieves and himself. When the demon thief had already arrived at the outermost point of the circle array, Qi Rongxun shouted loudly:

"Furlong cannon, fire!"

Qi Rongxun gave an order, and the other officers on standby in the formation followed and repeated the military order loudly, and the one that pointed directly at the demon thief took the lead in firing, and a little fire was like a spark polished by a flint, igniting the entire front. The artillery on the circle fired after the first cannon in turn, and when each cannon fired, the attacking team of the demon thieves rushed to the same distance as when the first cannon fired, and although the artillery in the formation fired in sequence, the attack distance was controlled at the most appropriate length.

Qi Rongxun didn't intend to kill and injure the demon thief from a long distance from the beginning, his artillery was all loaded with shotguns, and the artillery in the formation was hit and placed on the half of the arc facing the demon thief, and the shotshots and projectiles gushing out rushed out of a bloody fan in the dense attacking crowd, and for a while, the stumps and arms were broken, and the screams and moans filled everyone in front of everyone.

But the demon thieves have long seen the power of the Shenji Battalion, and although the attack of the Fran Machine is fierce, the demon thieves are still driven to continue to charge the thin formation. It was only when they rushed to the front and back that they saw clearly that many of the displaced people who had just joined the demon thieves were still in rags, with only weapons in their hands and no armor on their bodies. The soldiers were all excited to see these thieves called Hanako, and they shouted and cursed the rabble on the other side, thinking that victory was just around the corner. But Qi Rongxun's head was sober, and he shouted loudly:

"Command the whole army, keep the formation, listen to my orders to attack, dare to attack without authorization or preach that the demon thief is easy to win, and the military law will deal with it! Hold the lance steady, and the thief will rush over immediately! ”

The sergeants gradually quieted down after hearing Qi Rongxun's scolding. Qi Rongxun has seen this kind of demon thief like Huazi, when he first started fighting with demon thieves two months ago, Lei Youde and his subordinates were all this virtue, at that time they had any armor there, not even a knife. But if it is said that Lei Youde's subordinates are still called Huazi soldiers now, it is underestimating the enemy, Qi Rongxun knows that behind these cannon fodder in front of him, there are more than 100,000 elite armor soldiers of Lei Youde to suppress the formation.

The new demon thieves who had attacked were almost terrified at the sight of corpses and severed limbs all over the ground, they had never seen such a bloody scene of slaughter. But the armoured "companions" standing beside and behind them, the veterans who had been sent to command them the night before, had forced them forward with swords. Although there was a long lance in front of them that was as dense as a wall of champions, the demon thieves had no choice but to close their eyes and harden it.

The partial general standing beside Qi Rongxun saw that the demon thief was about to crash into the lance formation, but Qi Rongxun did not order the shotgunner to shoot, he couldn't help but ask:

"Qi Hou, it's time for us to shoot!"

Hearing this, Qi Rongxun raised his right hand, clenched his fist and said:

"Wait!"

The next moment after Qi Rongxun finished speaking, the demon thieves brandished their long and short weapons and slammed into the tip of the lance. Without the protection of armor, many demon thieves rushed to the lance array is the same as climbing the knife mountain, and it should not be said that the current demon thieves have been photographed on the nail board. The thieves in the first row were pushed and shoved by the people in the back row and rushed forward, and then more than a dozen holes were poked out, and the people were nailed to the iron wall composed of the tip of the lance, and they didn't even break their breath. These first-row thieves used their flesh and blood to provide space for their companions in the back row to focus, and the thieves in the back pressed towards the corpse in front of them, trying to break the lance and break it elsewhere.

Qi Rongxun was waiting for this time, he put down his arm forcefully, and shouted:

"Hammer, push!"

The two rows of lancers in front of them obeyed the order and pushed the lance forward, which not only shook off a lot of the corpses hanging on the lance, but also killed many thieves who charged behind. Just as the action of the lancers was over and they returned to their positions, Qi Rongxun gave another order to the shotgunners of the Shenji Battalion:

"Shotgunner! Shoot! ”

In the loud bell of the officers at all levels of the army, the shotgunners who had already taken their guns and aimed pulled the trigger at the same time, and the lead pellets were pushed out of the chamber by the rapidly expanding gunpowder gas, rolling and rushing into the body of the demon thief in front of them. Due to the close distance, the shotgun's projectile did not fly much distance in the air before hitting the target, and the force of the shot dissipated in the soft human body, twisting, pulling, and finally crushing the solid lead pellet into pieces. The broken lead pellet tore a huge cavity in the demon thief's body, and a large hole was opened in the back of the demon thief, wrapped in internal organs and sprayed out, and the still powerful lead pellet fragments flew towards the other demon thieves in the back row of the target in the blood mist, and one shot could kill at least two people, and it was not uncommon for three people to be shot in a row.

After the first round of shotgun shooting, the shooters immediately handed the bird to the back row, and at the same time took the freshly loaded shotgun from the back row and continued to fire, and at the same time, the reloaded Furlong cannon also neighed in an instant, and the large and small projectiles poured out towards the demon thief, and most of the demon thieves who surrounded it were harvested in the blink of an eye.

With the support of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, the lancers slightly adjusted the line of those who were attacked by the demon thieves, and they lined up closely, holding the line, trying to fend off the demon thieves from these comrades who were pumping out firepower beside them.

Qi Rongxun looked at the flesh mill outside the battle in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief. But he also knew that as long as the demon thieves did not stop attacking, the current advantage could only be temporary.
