The sudden bombardment caused the crowd and horses on the open ground to be shrouded in the smoke of the explosion for a moment, and the horses instinctively ran in panic, broken bows, arrows, knives and guns flew in all directions, and the few unlucky ones fell to the ground with incomplete limbs. I'll just go The whole formation was already in chaos, and no one expected that the Ming army would have the courage to strike first, and these cannons would be so accurate.

In the chaos, people and horses were running around in all directions, and everyone instinctively wanted to find a safe place to hide.

"Hangou is looking for death!" As soon as Manggutai saw that his subordinates were damaged, his eyes immediately turned red. Now that the Ming army is taking the initiative to attack, he can't care about making trouble with Yue Xiang and the others at the moment, and he shouted loudly in the sky, like a thunderbolt sounding in mid-air. This time, all the subordinates who were in a panic were suppressed.

"Han Dog's firecracker needs to be filled with gunpowder cannons, take this opportunity to charge them all!" As he spoke, he took the lead and shook the reins and knocked the stirrup, and the big black horse under his crotch scooped out a majestic roar, spreading his hooves and rushing down the hillside, the momentum was unstoppable, and it seemed that he would be able to follow a wall in front of him.

There is a way that a soldier is the courage of a general, and the soul of a soldier. The gang of Manggutai's men were originally fierce and dead soldiers who had undergone strict training, and just now they were instinctively confused by artillery bombardment, but now seeing their banner owners so brave and leading the charge regardless of the artillery fire of the Ming army, the madness in the blood of this group of outlaws was also stimulated. With a terrifying cry from their mouths, they urged their horses to follow behind their masters, like a black frenzy rising from the ground roaring towards the camp of the Ming army.

Many of them had experienced the Battle of Fushun and knew where the weaknesses of the Ming army were. As long as they rushed through their firearms blockade, these Han soldiers would not work.

Thousands of iron hooves beat the earth, and it seemed that the entire hillside was trembling.

And the Ming army under the mountain did begin to mess up, seeing that the Franco cannon did not scare these people, but aroused the ferocity of the other party, and suddenly everyone was blue and white, and they were in a hurry. Hurriedly began to reload the cannon, but usually not very skilled, and now it is more and more panicked, seeing that the opponent's cavalry rushed to the dead end of the cannon's range like a landslide, and his side has not yet done it, and the horn swan next to it is also blowing wildly, and the more panicked.

"Quick, thieves are coming, give the order to raise the flag! The front is in front of the rejection of the horse chariot formation! The Sharpshooter Bird Gunner is in the center with three layers, and the Archer Killer is in the back and ready to attack! Don't mess up, and if there is any more recklessness, behead immediately! Wang En, take your men to the front for me! ”

Under the banner of the main general of the Ming army, Li Guangrong, the deputy general of the Huiyuan Fort Unified Army, wore a pair of iron and bright light armor, rode a yellow fat horse, and commanded the pacesetter Jia Ding to cut down seven or eight soldiers who were wavering in battle, and it was easy to barely stabilize the position. He shouted hoarsely as he almost pleaded to a white-faced man in a palace robe and brocade robe next to him.

"Gonggong Li, this place is dangerous, you have the military order of the prison army, so hurry to the back. When the fight starts later, the swords, guns, bows and arrows are not long-sighted. If something goes wrong with your old man, the end will be a crime that will be ten thousand deaths! ”

It was the third time he had said this, and his words were as earnest as if his son were honoring his son, but the damned eunuch remained unmoved.

Li Guangrong scolded in his heart that this dead eunuch didn't know what to do, if he was tired of life, he would simply wipe his neck and commit suicide, why drag so many people to come to this ghost place with you to adventure.

Now there is information from the north that tens of thousands of people from Jianzhou Jurchen crossed the Great Wall yesterday and stormed the Sanchaer Fort, and are now wantonly killing and plundering in the areas of Huabaochong, Fu'an, and Chaihe. The guards of the Yanbian Forts, who are the first to be updated and the fastest, are all able to hide and hide, and they can't go out, but this dead eunuch came to send troops by himself.

This place is so close to Sancha'er Fort, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no Jurchen troops active, and it is not good that their own Huiyuan Fort is also the target of attack, and their more than 1,500 people, if they really meet the Jurchen brigade in the wilderness, it is really not enough to stuff people's teeth.

And in addition, Li Guangrong also has his own calculations in his heart.

Today, after the defeat of Fushun, the cities and forts in Liaodong are still uncoordinated and organized, and they are basically scattered and fighting separately. Among these Yanbian forts, his Hoi An Fort is relatively strong in terms of the quality of the soldiers, the number of soldiers, and the strength of equipment. He had already seen that whoever has the strength and strength in Liaodong now is the uncle.

In the future, the imperial court will definitely rely on these local generals, and the more their strength is preserved, the higher the status they can get when the power structure of Liaodong is reshuffled in the future.

So he was reluctant to send troops this time, but in the face of this eunuch, he had no way to shirk it.

This person is holding a warrant from the prison army, and he is a eunuch in the palace, so he really doesn't have the courage to disobey. Who in the Ming Dynasty didn't know the interests of the eunuchs, and what a power tilt they were in the Gaohuai Chaoliao back then. If you offend these people, you probably won't have any good fruit to eat. Besides, people came with military orders, and they only had to obey orders in public and private.

And Li Guangrong and the others saw the fierceness of these black-clothed knights, and immediately knew that they had encountered a bad star today, but after all, he was also a resolute person, and seeing that a vicious battle was inevitable, he put aside those miscellaneous thoughts before. This eunuch stayed in the battle, and if there was a good one, he would not be able to escape the responsibility even if he won the battle.

Let him go to the back, firstly, there will be less worries, and secondly, he will have a lot of room to turn around, even if the army is defeated and retreated, it can be said that the envoy of the supervising army retreats first, causing the army's heart to fluctuate before retreating, and pulling a cushion into the water.

It's a pity that I don't know if people saw through his intentions or something else, this eunuch sat on the horse steadily, but he didn't move, and he didn't say anything to the back.

"General Li, before the Sprinkle family came out, I made a military order with the overseer, and now as soon as this thief comes, I will run, what is this? Besides, it has long been heard that General Li's department is one of the best elite divisions among the armies outside the Guanwai, and it is not easy to catch these thieves and grass robbers. If the family is not talented, they must also make meritorious contributions to the emperor to kill the enemy. At worst, it was also done to cheer for General Li and wave the flag and shout. The Sprinkle family serves the Son of Heaven, as long as they can be loyal to the emperor, they are happy to lose this life. ”

Li Guangrong was about to collapse when he heard this, is this eunuch named Li Jinzhong crazy or a nerd? Or is it really a rare breed of good eunuch who is loyal and patriotic? This kind of scene is usually just said in front of the boss, but what kind of fart is it said at this time?

"You...... Okay, Ma Biao, you lead a sentry to protect Gonggong Li, he has a hair poured on his body, I want your head! Li Guangrong almost wanted to order someone to drag the dead eunuch behind, but in the end he suppressed this impulse and called a group of family members to protect Li Jinzhong, and then saw that the black and oppressive cavalry group had already rushed to the front.

"Hit! Kombat ! Li Guangrong roared as if he was crazy, and the standard-bearer beside him immediately raised the red flag and grinded it forward three times, a long horn sounded, and then a series of fierce cannon explosions immediately sounded on the front line, and the fireworks sprayed from the mouth of the gun suddenly formed a dazzling firelight, and the entire front was suddenly shrouded in a choking white gunsmoke, and nothing could be seen.

Originally, according to the Ming army's art of war, there were strict regulations on the firing of fast guns, bird guns, etc., and they were cast in rows according to the banners, so that dense continuous firepower could be formed to the greatest extent, but the Ming army in Liaodong had not practiced battle formations for a long time, and it was basically impossible to expect them to be as well-trained and brave as they were in the Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang eras decades ago.

So now, just like Li Guangrong's subordinates, in the face of a strong enemy, it is already very commendable to be able to stabilize their minds and fire this shotgun without mercy, as for the banner of discipline, who can take care of those when they fight?

Sure enough, the cannon array in front of it was already resounding at this moment, accompanied by the strange cries of the soldiers who were hoarse and exhausted, which completely exploded the already tense atmosphere.

The people in front of him were beaten, and before they could retreat, the ones behind were already nervous, and they involuntarily followed and fired; The people next to him saw that their companions were beating, and they followed suit. As soon as the gun's gun rang out, the gunners' Tiger Squat Cannon and the Big Gun also erupted with scorching fire, knocking the whole barrel of scattered bullets into the white gunpowder smoke in front.

In fact, the smoke covered the line of sight, most people did not see where the target was, only saw a white smoke in front of them, but the rumbling cannons around them emboldened them, and the hundred tigers on the chariot kept whining and whistling, flying to the front with countless firelight, and the archers behind were also firing their bows and arrows, and the whole scene was crazy. The officials tried their best to organize order, but the soldiers basically fought themselves.

Qian Zong Wang En was already so anxious in the crowd in front of him that he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and scolded, he was appointed by Li Guangrong to come to the front to command, these stupid people actually beat him like this, how could he not be in a hurry.

He was actually piggybacked on this time, he was originally stationed in Puhe, administratively under the jurisdiction of Anyuanbao, but just a few days ago he received a general order from Li Guangrong, saying that the bandits on Xianglu Mountain were preparing to go down the mountain to commit crimes, and the Huiyuanbao garrison was ready to take this opportunity to encircle and suppress this bandit, and asked the Puhe garrison to help, so he led the troops out of the station.

It was his people who fought with Yang Shan's men by the Hunhe River a few days ago.

However, he was not at the scene that time, and it was dark and chaotic, and he had never met Yue Xiang. Later, after a scuffle in the dark, his subordinates voluntarily broke away from the battle, but Li Guangrong's troops did not block the front road as originally planned, and only later did they learn that the plan had changed when they arrived at Hoi An Fort.

The envoy from Shanhaiguan came through the province, holding the token of the prison army, and asked them to send troops to assist in confidential affairs, but he did not say where the destination was, so he followed in a daze.

He is a relatively capable person among the generals of Liaodong at this stage, but now there is a general shortage of soldiers in Liaodong, and he, as a thousand generals, also has the same problems as others, and there are actually only more than 500 people under his command. Although he didn't know what the task was this time, he found that Li Guangrong had basically brought out all the belongings of Huiyuan Fort, except for the heavy artillery, so he knew the seriousness of the matter.

This is clearly going to fight a big battle, and he has also received the news that the Jianzhou soldiers have plundered Anchaihe and other places by the way, and now with more than 1,000 of them, if they meet the Jianzhou Jurchens on the road, they will suffer.

So he was actually vigilant all the way, and it didn't cause him much trouble when he started fighting now. With twice as many of his opponents and no Jurchens looking like them, he estimated that there would still be a dozen of them. As a result, when I was about to set up the formation just now, I explained it well, and as soon as I fought, it was all messed up.

Although he knew that such a dense salvo of fire might not be completely useless, but in the face of highly mobile cavalry, waiting for the gap to reload ammunition after the battle would be fatal.

However, it was useless to say anything now, he could only hope that the round of fire just now would weaken the impact of the enemy as much as possible. He roared with all his strength on his horse: "The thieves are about to rush over, the killer team knife and card hand forward, the pikeman guards the chariot and rejects the horse, ready for hand-to-hand combat!" Watch out for the thieves' bows and arrows! ”

Before the words fell, there was a sudden shout of killing behind the gunpowder smoke in front of him, and countless random arrows poured through the smoke like raindrops. A small half of them turned out to be coming straight for Wang En, Wang En was shocked, and he didn't think that through the smoke and just by calling out this voice, this group of unknown cavalry could accurately judge his position.

"Fuck it!" He only had time to curse, and immediately flipped over with his stirrup, and flipped straight behind the horse's buttocks. Rao is so, he was still hit by three or four arrows, but fortunately, he was wearing a set of finely crafted copper nail chain cotton armor, and after the arrow broke the armor, it did not penetrate into the flesh and picked up a life, but the war horse under the crotch was not so lucky, and it was almost shot into a hedgehog in the neighing, and fell down with a wail.

"Don't me! Hurry up and prepare to meet the enemy! Wang En finally got up from the ground and pushed away the two family members who were supporting him. However, when I looked up, there was a crying voice of my father calling my mother.

The rain of arrows just now shot their own people horizontally and vertically into a large area, and the rest of the people were basically out of order, cold arrows flew in the air, guns and cannons were beaten everywhere, and the cavalry outside rushed forward and violently collided with the chariot and the horse, and then broke through the human wall and even led the horse into the formation, using their own bodies to open the way for the companions behind, and even some people jumped directly on the standing car on the horse, jumping directly into the crowd from the top of everyone's heads. Under the desperate collision, the human wall fell in all directions, and groups of black-clothed knights swung their swords and horses into the battle one after another.

And there were also cavalry on both sides of the whole team to quickly outflank, and it was not clear how many people there were under the thick smoke, these people were running and firing arrows into the formation, and Li Guangrong's Chinese army was already shooting at these cavalry.

"Formation, formation!" Wang En knew that if the infantry wanted to fight the cavalry, they had to form a formation. Looking at the offensive of others, it can be described as "dragon and tiger leaping", and sooner or later, people will be scattered and defeated by such a chaotic coaxing as now.

He picked up the big flag from the ground, shouted and held it and rushed into the pile, fortunately, his subordinates were relatively brave, seeing the enemy cavalry breaking into the formation, they threw the firearms in their hands, picked up the machete and spear and rushed up to fight, only a few turned around and fled, and finally under the leadership of Wang En's banner, they reluctantly reorganized the formation, and the human walls re-blocked the gap in the defense line. And the black-clothed cavalry who rushed into the formation earlier also fell into a melee.

"Plug the gap, archers release their arrows!" Wang En's voice was hoarse, and he led the people to push the chariot desperately up the gap, but after a few steps, there was a sudden explosion of cracking sound behind the buttocks, and then the human wall was directly pierced through a big hole as if it had been hit by a cannonball, and several soldiers fell out with the smashed chariot frame.

"It's ......!"

Before Wang En could comprehend, he felt a majestic shadow flying over the sky like a fierce tiger, and when he looked up again, he saw a general with a tiger's back and a bear's waist falling in the middle of the battle, and behind his head, he was dragging a big black and shiny braid.

Braided Soldier ...... These people are pigtailed soldiers!?
