Lin Chong ordered to quickly clean up the battlefield, defend on the spot at Feihuyu, and quickly sent people to inform Song Jiang of the battle situation, waiting for the arrival of the army.

As soon as the battle ended, Hu Yanzhuo led the second group of men and horses, and the heavy cavalry arrived. At this time, the heavy cavalry, all men and horses did not wear armor, marched lightly, and the armor was carried in the carriage behind. The two teams joined forces and their strength increased greatly.

After receiving the news that Feihuyu was heavily guarded, Song Jiang led the Chinese army to march rapidly. Later, after receiving the news that the light cavalry had taken Feihuyu, he ordered a rapid march to reach Feihuyu as quickly as possible.

However, it was said that Li Cheng led the defeated soldiers to Huaishupo, and gathered some scattered soldiers along the way, and returned to Huaishupo to carefully count, and there were less than 10,000. It seems that the rest either returned to the battlefield or became prisoners of Liangshanbo and failed miserably!

The large army of the people did not come, and only with the thousands of cavalry in the vanguard, they beat their nearly 20,000 horses and fled in embarrassment, shame! I, Li Cheng, have been stationed in the Daimyo's Mansion for many years, and I have never taken advantage of the iron cavalry of the Liao State, but I don't want to be beaten up by some thieves, which is simply incredible.

Calm tactics to lure the enemy, terrifying gunpowder weapons, and strict combat discipline, is this still a bandit? However, the defeat of this battle also made Li Cheng's mind sober all of a sudden, and he immediately learned a lesson, summed up his experience, redeployed the war, and used his strengths to deal with the weaknesses of the thieves.

For a general who faces the Liao people all day long, his heart is strong, and his nerves and will have been forged into steel in the midst of setbacks and tribulations. Li Cheng is such an indomitable general, and the failures he has experienced and the mistakes he has made are not a bad thing, let alone a shame. Admitting and correcting mistakes, summing up and learning lessons, clenching your fists and preparing for the next thunderous blow are the qualities of steel that a general should have.

A general who grows up in defeat is the perfect general and the most terrible general of the enemy, because in their eyes there is no defeat, only the next victory.

This time, Li Chengxue was obedient, the thief's firearms are powerful, the bow and crossbow can be fired continuously, and the range is long, and the close-range combat is even more invincible. He immediately organized a defense, re-strengthened Suo Chao's defense methods, and did not give the thieves a chance to get close.

He dug two deep trenches at the front of the defensive position, wide enough to prevent horses from leaping over, and deep enough for the infantry to jump and climb up. The distance of the trench from the position is also quite learned, the two trenches are less than ten paces apart, but both are within the range of an ordinary bow and arrow. Li Cheng placed two rows of bed crossbows at the front of the position, two rows of divine arm bows in the back, thousands of archers densely packed in the middle, and soldiers with knives and guns ready to fight hand-to-hand at the back.

This method of arranging the formation is obvious, and he wants to kill and injure the Liangshanbo cavalry in the most effective way. At a long distance, they shot with a long-range weapon bed crossbow, and at a closer distance, they shot with a divine arm bow that could penetrate heavy armor, and when the Liangshanbo cavalry braved the sky full of arrows to reach the trench, they could not pass, so they could only brave the rain of arrows to fill the trench.

At this time, they were the targets of the archers of the Daimyo Mansion, and thousands of archers took turns to fire, and the soldiers of Liangshanbo could only fill the trenches with corpses. When the two trenches are filled, the number of Liangshanbo will be reduced suddenly, morale will be low, and the numerical advantage of officers and soldiers in hand-to-hand combat will be highlighted, and the Liangshanbo men and horses will fall into the crowd and perish.

All this seemed so perfect, the soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion had come out of the shadow of defeat, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, they were gearing up, sharpening their swords, waiting for the Liangshanbo people to come and be lambs for them to slaughter.

When Song Jiang took in Li Cheng's arrangement through the clairglass mirror, he couldn't help but praise this deployment, combining far and near, and attacking in a row, if he attacked strongly, he would definitely step on the white bones to advance.

If it were to be changed to other teams, it would definitely be their nightmare, but this was the Liang Shanbo team, how could Song Jiang let Li Cheng's wishful thinking kick off.

He laughed contemptuously, if I can stop the advance of Liangshanbo's army with such a defense, I dare to attack the Daimyo's Mansion? Let me show you what the advantage of weapons is, no matter how tightly you defend, you are still dust in front of heavy artillery and hard crossbows.

Everything will be known after the war.

General Liang Shanbo formulated a rigorous battle plan, and round after round of effective attacks doomed the defense of Huaishupo to be eggs.

Liang Shanbo was the first to appear artillery, dozens of heavy artillery pieces were arranged in columns, and after the test firing, they were fired at the same time, and immediately the opposite position was filled with gunsmoke.

The heavy artillery is equipped with solid bullets, which are extremely destructive. Not only can it kill and injure people, horses, and other living creatures, but it is also superb in destroying weapons, buildings, and other fortifications. The devastating damage caused by solid bullets was linear, so the officers and men on the defense fell in rows and rows. And the cannonballs that bounce off the ground are also destroying people and destroying things. vp

When the artillery fire stopped, the positions of the officers and soldiers were simply unrecognizable. Long-range weapons such as crossbow beds have been destroyed a lot, and the scenes of casualties are extremely miserable. Some of the dead bodies were torn into two by shells, and their hearts, lungs, and stomachs flowed to the ground; Some people's heads were smashed into a ball, and their brains were like blood-colored soy milk, gurgling out; Some soldiers could not do anything about it as they watched a part of their body leave them······ Everywhere there were broken dead bodies, and everywhere there was howling for heaven and earth.

The bloody, miserable, and unbearable scene was the greatest shock to the living people, and the officers and men all became frightened birds, for fear that it would be their turn to be the next round of shelling.

Taking advantage of the stagnation of artillery fire, the officers and men of Huaishupo quickly rescued the wounded and rearranged the defense, but many crossbow beds were destroyed, and Li Cheng could only make up for it.

The artillery fire stopped, not because the Liangshanbo team wanted to attack, but because the artillery was cooled down, otherwise it would be easy to blow up. When the artillery cooled down, a new round of shelling began.

This time, the officers and men all ran backwards, and Li Chengjian could not stop them, and at the same time, he waited for the beating to suffer too many casualties, so he ordered to retreat.

When the Liangshanbo team saw the officers and soldiers retreating, they advanced, and they were not in a hurry to advance, and the team was always far away from the attack range of the crossbow bed. When the officers and soldiers stopped to set up their defenses, they also stopped. The artillery quickly set up light artillery and carried out a frantic artillery attack on the opposing position.

The light artillery fired improvised flowering shells, which only began to explode when they reached the air above the position, and the iron filings and debris inside burrowed into the bodies of those around them at an alarming speed. Immediately, there were cries and shouts on the positions of the officers and men, and after a round of artillery bombardment, there were wounded soldiers everywhere, and the officers and men did not have the slightest fighting spirit.

Li Cheng saw that he was very passive when he continued to fight like this, and he couldn't even see the thief's face clearly, so he was killed and injured, so he had no choice but to order retreat again.

In this way, the Liangshanbo team easily filled in the two trenches, and then the cavalry followed behind and prepared to charge, and as soon as the officers and soldiers arranged the defensive formation, the artillery of Liangshanbo was once again powerful, so that the officers and soldiers retreated again.

Now the officers and soldiers have become the force of riding tigers. guard, can only be slowly eliminated by the artillery fire of the people; retreated, and could only be chased into the city by others; Attack, you can only think about it, isn't it serving food to others in front of the cavalry? If you think about it more seriously, if the cavalry rushes hard, your own infantry will break and flee after a few rounds, and wouldn't it be bad for the thieves to take the opportunity to enter the city of Beijing with the defeated army.

Li Cheng, who was worried, suddenly thought that the thief did not fight hard in order to reduce casualties, and he had a chance to worry about me, so he could only abandon the car to protect the commander for the overall situation.

Li Chengyi gritted his teeth and said to the herald: "Quickly pass on General Suo Chao to see me!" ”

After Suo Chao entered the account, Li Cheng said: "Now the thief army is entangled with our army, and its intention is obvious, it wants to eat all of our army." For now, the only way to do this is to leave the death squad to block the attack and cover the retreat of the rest of the team. I thought about it again and again, there was no suitable candidate except General Suo, and General Suo should take on this great task to stop the enemy and give our army a chance to breathe. ”

After hearing this, Suo Chao knew that he was going to send himself to death, but considering the overall situation, this is the only way to be considered the best policy, and he is obliged to undertake this task.

Li Chengdao: "I'll give you 3,000 infantry to charge at Liangshanbo, and you want to fight 10,000 people." I've already sent a message to Wenda, and he'll send someone to answer it quickly. ”

"The last general obeys!"

Suo Chao turned around and wanted to leave, but he was unwilling to ask: "Li Tianwang, how to deal with so many wounded soldiers?" ”

Li Cheng sighed helplessly: "It's a burden to carry, it will drag the back of the army, and leave the destiny of each peace!" I, Li Cheng, regard the lives of my brothers as more important than my own, and there is no way to do it! ”

Suo Chao glanced at it and smiled secretly in his heart: "Fart!" Crocodile tears! Full of benevolence and morality, full of male thieves and prostitutes, one set on the surface and one set on the back. Li Cheng, you are a vicious wolf in sheep's clothing! ”

He also disdained to reason with Li Cheng, and surrendered his troops to prepare for the charge.
