Chapter Seventy-Five: Engagement

The distance of three hundred paces is already close for the cavalry.

Cao Zongyu's breathing became rapid, and two halves rushed out from under his nose, which slowly dispersed in the cold air.

Zhang Xuan couldn't care about the song he hummed out of tune. The beat on the armrest, I don't know when it stopped, one hand clasped on the armrest.

Between heaven and earth, for a time only the horse's hooves were left beating on the snow, dull like thunder.

"Not bad." Zuo Menggeng put down the clairvoyant mirror and liked this momentum of galloping horses very much. said: "It's like it." The battle was fought. I'll give my father the credit for you. ”

"Thank you, young master." Zuo Qing's eyes can't take his eyes off the battlefield, and there are generals. Zuo Liangyu set a good example for the generals under his command, and all the generals under his command regarded their subordinates as their own capital, so at this time, the key to whether he was corrupt or not, Zuo Qing did not dare to slack off.

"Two hundred steps." Everyone looked at Cao Zongyu, and Cao Zongyu slowly raised a hand.

"100 steps." Cao Zongyu secretly said in his heart, he waved his arm vigorously and said, "Release." ”

The carriage made by Zhang Xuan seems to be a van car, with two wheels, and four long legs can be put down to support it, and the soldiers and artillery are hiding in the carriage.

In an instant, countless fires erupted from the round muzzle, setting off a storm of death within a distance of more than a hundred paces in front of the battle.

The cavalry general who rushed to the front saw a small circular muzzle exposed on every vehicle in front of him, his eyes shrank suddenly, and before Cao Nima could say a word, a side of iron sand had already been hit all over his face, even if he had Ling Bo Weibu, he couldn't avoid such a range of blows.

For a while, people turned over on their backs, people shouted and neighed, and it became a pot of porridge. Fortunately, Zuo Qing had made arrangements before, and most of the cavalry pulled the reins, turned their horses' heads, and escaped from the position they had left behind.

At this moment, the infantry in Zhang Xuan's camp has just been filled and is ready for the second round of launches.

Zhang Xuan designed a dexterous launch device in the middle of the carriage.

In fact, at the moment, from the front, it looks like a row of boxes on the shelf, but from the back, it is not like this. On the top of the carriage, the planks behind it were lifted and reinforced in front, and the two planks were placed vertically, with the left and right sides standing side by side in the middle to expose the gap, which was where the gun port was.

A small cannon was placed on top of a simple two-wheeled gun carriage. However, these two small wheels with a diameter of more than an inch are fixed on a section of wooden track, which is a small uphill slope, and the small cannon recoil every time it fires

It will make the gun body run uphill, and the gun muzzle will be downhill, and then it will be much more convenient when there is a brush to scrub. As soon as it is cleaned, it immediately puts down the first gear, and there are brackets that place the muzzle facing up for easy loading of gunpowder shells. Then lower the gear, fix it on the gun mount, and start the next fire

This is Zhang Xuan and Wang Cannon racking their brains to come up with a loading mode that saves as much effort as possible.

Even so, the speed at which the cannon could not be fired, the fastest was only one shot per minute, of course, perhaps because the gunner was not yet proficient. However, one shot a minute is already quite high speed in this era.

For the cavalry, one minute was enough time for them to rush into the formation from more than a hundred paces away, which was why Zhang Xuan had to be in a van.

"What's going on? Why did they make the slightest contact, and then retreated. Zhang Xuan didn't know when he was already standing behind Cao Zongyu, frowned and said.

"I guess they just want to test our artillery, test the artillery, and naturally leave." Cao Zongyu's expression was a little solemn, the round of artillery just now seemed to have made people turn on their backs, but in fact, it only killed dozens of people, and it was not any damage to the brigade at all.

"What's going on?" At this time, Zuo Mengeng was also asking Zuo Qing at the moment, but his face was full of iron, and his chubby round face actually had a sense of majesty.

"Young master, I'm just testing, testing how many artillery pieces the thief has?" Zuo Qing hurriedly said.

"Now let's try it out." Zuo Menggeng's face was a little better and said.

"Young Master." Zuo Qing said: "There are many artillery pieces of thieves, and the formation is tight, otherwise, let's ask the commander to ask some cannons, although the enemy's artillery is many, but they are all small cannons, and the range is limited, as long as there are cannons shooting from a distance, they can definitely break the thieves." ”

"You mean to say that the first time I fought a war, I wanted my father to ask for help. What do you think my dad will think of me in the future? Zuo Mengeng said: "I don't care how you fight, it's already afternoon, before tonight, I want you to take back Xiaoshangqiao." Otherwise,----" Zuo Mengeng snorted coldly and said, "You know." ”

"Thirteen from the left." Zuo Mengeng said suddenly.

"The minions are here." Zuo Thirteen suddenly knelt on the ground and said. The thirteenth on the left is a dwarf Mongol. is also the person arranged by Zuo Liangyu by Zuo Menggeng's side, he took hundreds of cavalry, and his only task was to protect Zuo Menggeng's safety and completely obey Zuo Menggeng's orders.

"Stand in line here, and those who dare to retreat will be killed." Zuo Mengeng said.

"Yes." Left 13 said.

Immediately, Zuo Mengeng's hundreds of cavalry lined up in a line, the knife was unsheathed, the bow was wound, and his eyes were blazing at Zuo Qing's men and horses.

Zuo Qing secretly complained in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. In fact

It was also Zhang Xuan's position that was set too fast, there were still hundreds of cavalry fighting in the morning, and the Zuo battalion naturally had to send cavalry to attack, if he knew in advance that Zhang Xuan's formation was like this, Zuo Liangyu would not send Zuo Qing over at all, but would send a foot battalion.

However, it's too late to say anything now, and the second lord behind him, who doesn't understand anything, is pressing, so he can only fight.

Of course, no matter how hard he fights, he will never go into battle. He only commanded from behind.

"You are divided into two groups, the first one attracts artillery fire, and the second group takes advantage of the interval of their artillery firing, rushing up, they are only more than a thousand people, as long as they rush through this car wall, the following things are much simpler, you have to remember that this battle is fought in front of Young Master Zuo, if any of you can get Young Master Zuo's blue eyes, the rest of your life, just wait to eat and drink spicy food." This is a rare opportunity, do you cherish it? Zuo Qing had no choice but to do it, but he was secretly dripping blood in his heart, this was his capital, if his subordinates were disabled, he wanted to replenish it, but it was not so easy.

"Lao Tzu must survive first, and then there will be a future."

"Be careful, look at the Warlords in the back. Don't be killed and don't know what's going on? ”

"Let's try it for a while, maybe it's just a showcase on the other side."

The so-called arrogant soldiers and fierce generals refer to these people, these soldiers who lick blood all year round, only they know how much respect they have for their superiors. Forced hard, dare to use a knife with the above if you can't say it. In these years, not only the imperial court can't transfer the generals below, but the generals below may not have much control over their subordinates.

For a while, there were bursts of discussion from Zuo Qing's subordinates, but the voices were very low, and not many people heard them.

"Kill." The second shock of Zuo Qing's department came. It seems that it was because Zuo Qing arranged it according to Zuo Menggeng's intentions, Zuo Menggeng saw his eyebrows fluttering at the moment, and a tube of clairvoyant mirrors was held in his hand, reluctant to put it down.

This time, Zuo Qing scattered all his men and horses and comprehensively attacked Zhang Xuan's formation.

Zhang Xuan's formation is not long, it is a formation along the Xiaoshang River, which can be roughly divided into three sections, one is the front, and it is the place where the battle has just begun. On both sides was the place where Deng He and Wang Jincai were guarding, and this time thousands of horsemen rushed up.

The formation of more than 100 Zhang Xuan's cars was rounded.

However, even so, the focus of the attack is still Cao Zongyu.

Not because of anything else, but because of the Xiaoshang River, Deng He and Wang Jin were next to the Xiaoshang River, and the banks of the Xiaoshang River were covered with snow, and they looked like a flat river, but when they ran up, they knew that there was a pit, and after several horses were trapped in a row, they didn't dare to try again. So the pressure is shifted to the front.

"Open fire." "Boom."
