After an emergency retreat, most of Lu Xiangsheng's men finally retreated.

However, the thousands of cavalry led by the deputy commander-in-chief Luo Dai were trapped by the Tartars and suffered heavy casualties, and if they were not rescued, it was only a matter of time before the entire army was annihilated.

Lu Xiangsheng decided to personally lead the team and go all out to rescue.

"My lord, there are too many Tartars...... "Liu Chongzhen, the chief military officer, persuaded, he didn't say the rest of the words, we have thousands of men, 30,000 Tartars have set up ambushes, and artillery, how did we withdraw them? rushed in again, but could not save people, but threw himself into the net.

"Don't say it, how can we see death and leave Commander Luo behind?"

Liu Chongzhen said: "My lord, otherwise, my subordinates will lead the men and horses to rescue Commander Luo, and the adults will quickly evacuate to a safe place and send people back to the city to move troops."

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head, "It's more than a hundred miles from Yuyang City here, and when the rescuers come, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Zu Keyong has always respected Lu Xiangsheng, and today he saw that Lord Lu was really a hero, not afraid of danger, and treated his subordinates like relatives and brothers, and those officials who only cared about their own lives in the face of danger were simply worlds apart.

Zu Keyong was moved, and also persuaded: "The Governor leads the people to withdraw first, and the villain and the Chief Soldier lead a group of men and horses, even if they fight for their lives, how about saving Commander Luo?"

"You don't have to persuade again, follow this governor!" Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand, stopped them, urged the horse to pick up the knife, and rushed out first.

The Governor was the first to go into battle, and there was nothing more morale-boosting than this. Liu Chongzhen and Zu Keyong rushed towards the Tartars with thousands of men and horses.

Lu Xiangsheng is an authentic civil official, a jinshi during the Apocalypse, once served as the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, and is now the governor and a member of the imperial court.

But he was a brave general. Since he was a child, he liked to dance with guns and sticks, and often practiced horseback riding and archery in his spare time. In addition to devoting himself to the study of scriptures and history, he was also familiar with military books and war strategies, especially his martial arts.

He is good at riding horses and archery, and his handy weapon is an ochre iron broadsword, which weighs more than 40 pounds. Once, he was surrounded by thieves, with many injuries on his body and an arrow in the face, but he still killed thieves like chopping melons and vegetables, which is how he got his nickname King Luyan.

Today, Lu Xiangsheng exerted his power again, he took the lead and rushed into the crowd of Tartars. Everywhere the swords and horses went, human heads were rolling, blood was flowing like rivers, and corpses were tumbling, and there was no one to join them.

His guards followed left and right, and the fierce general Zu Keyong picked up the big axe and took Yang Fang, Zhao Sheng, and Zhao Tingshou to escort Lu Xiangsheng. Behind Lu Xiangsheng's guard were five or six thousand men and horses of Liu Chongzhen, the chief military officer.

This team was unstoppable, and for a time the Tartar team was rushed to pieces. Without half a burnt of incense, Lu Xiangsheng led his men and horses to join Luo Dai, and the two sides joined forces and broke through.

The Tartar leaders Abatai and Tan Tai, who were in charge of commanding at the heights, saw that Lu Xiangsheng was really powerful, and the Tianxiong Army was by no means in vain, and its combat effectiveness was really strong. Can't let them run today anyway.

These two Tartar leaders mobilized more people and horses, like layers of vicious waves surrounded, both sides were desperate to the death, the Tianxiong army was powerful, and the Tartars' Eight Banners combat power was even more worthy of its reputation, especially this is the field battle that the Tartars are good at.

In terms of combat effectiveness, it can be described as half a catty to eight taels. For a time, tens of thousands of horses on both sides killed the sky and the earth, and the sun and moon were dark.

The grandeur of the scene, the absolute shock, and the tragedy of the battle can be called rare.

Abatai and Tan Tai feel that something is missing? Yes, why didn't the artillery battalion exert its might? A dozen heavy artillery pieces rang out twice, which is definitely abnormal.

They immediately sent Tartars to the artillery battalion position on the side of Gaogang to see the situation......

Lin Yi led people to attack the Tartar artillery position, and all seven or eight hundred Tartars were annihilated. But when he looked down on the high slope, there was a sea of battle below, and countless Ming soldiers were trapped by the overwhelming Tartars, and the two sides fought extremely fiercely.

But Lin has already seen that there are few Ming troops, too many Tartars, and there is a huge disparity in numbers, if there is no rescue, this Ming army will be in danger, and it is likely that the whole army will be wiped out.

But how to save them? I only brought more than 300 people, and after the fierce battle just now, there were only about 200 people who could fight, and the physical exertion was very large.

No, we have to find a way.

Lin Yi is by no means a personal hero, and always keeps a clear head.

At this time, Wang Jian instructed the brothers to smash and destroy these cannons and ammunition, and they could not get rid of them anyway, and they must not leave them to the Tartars.

"Stop!" Lin Yi hurriedly stopped them.

Why are you confused? Don't use these cannons, bombard the Tartars with the cannons of the Tartars, that kind of enjoyment is not costly!

But his idea is good, and it is difficult to actually operate.

The reason is that none of them can fiddle with artillery, and it is definitely not possible to directly ignite the artillery, it has to be aimed at the Tartars, not at the Ming army, and it is best to aim at the leaders of the Tartars, and they can't bombard indiscriminately.

This requires adjustments to the direction, range, and angle of the cannon, but the key issues of illuminating the door, what is the front sight, where it is, and how to adjust it.

Most of his hundreds of people were born with mud legs, and even the elites of the border army and Ning Yuanjun had never touched the cannon, so they could only stare at them with big eyes.

Although Lin Yi is a special soldier in later generations, he has mastered the high-tech firearms and artillery of later generations, even missiles can't make it difficult for him, but in the face of these old antiques, Lin Yi is also a little confused.

"Damn, I knew how good it would be to keep a few alive mouths like this, only a dead horse would be a live horse doctor."

Lin Yi was sneering and had to do it himself, because it was getting dark, so he circled around the gun carriage and the gun barrel twice, twisting here and touching there.

"Could it be that Lord Lin has no teacher?" Lin Yi's movements attracted a surprised gaze: "If you really want to be able to manipulate these cannons, then it would be great!" While they are skeptical, they are full of excitement and anticipation.

Wang Jian is Lin Yi's old squad leader, Zhang Hua, He Tao, Erhu, Wang Qi are his old comrades-in-arms for many years, to say that they have not seen the cannon is a little wronged, but they have only heard and seen the cannon, they have not even touched it, the artillery at that time was completely high-tech arms, and it had to go through special training or training, not to be able to operate it when they came up.

A qualified driver can not only drive a small car, but also drive a big car, and the walk-behind tractor will also go up and wipe twice. Lin Yi relied on his excellent military qualities in later life, and his intelligence and wisdom, and quickly found his way.

The cannon pillar rotated, the cannon barrel could also be high and low, open the door, aim through the crosshair, and aim at the dense area of the Tartar, Lin Yi wanted to test the cannon first.

At this time, someone shouted, "My lord, a Tartar is coming!"

"Block them!"

Wang Jian promised to take more than 100 people, including Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan, to deal with the Tartars and cover Lin Yi and them to continue to operate the cannons.

Lin Yi picked up a still burning word from the ground and lit the fuse.

Xiao Ying, Zhang Hua, Erhu, He Tao and others hurriedly hid far away, and Xiao Ying also blocked two ear holes.

"Eat ......" There was a soft sound, and the lead burned rapidly, emitting white smoke, and dissipated with the wind.

"Boom! …… Whew-"

There was an earth-shattering explosion, and the cannonball flew out of the barrel, whistling, and landed accurately into the pile of Tartars, and exploded with a bang.

Several Tartars were blown to pieces and flew into the sky, and several others were overturned by the explosion of air, and after the thick smoke and fire and earth and rocks scattered, a large crater was blown into the ground.

The nearby Tartars were so frightened that their faces were colorless, and some of them scolded in the direction of the artillery camp, and the ancestors and grandmothers scolded them for not distinguishing between the enemy and me, and bombing their own people.

Of course, they were not scolding Lin Yi and them, but scolding the dead Tartars on the artillery battalion position.

"It worked!" Lin Yi was so happy that he almost lost his temper, Xiao Ying, Zhang Hua, He Tao, Erhu and others were even more excited, "Adults are really gods!" ”

Lin Yi now had a bottom in his heart, and immediately commanded his soldiers to start fiddling with the remaining guns, adjusting the direction and angle, re-aiming, aiming at the direction of the dense Tartars and the direction where the commander was, and then igniting.
