Chapter 141: Saturation Strike

Song Xiance was smoking a dry cigarette leisurely at this time, with a bright smile on his face, all of which was expected by him.

The peasant army on the opposite side was also in a commotion, they tried to intercept the horses, but they were defenseless for a while, after all, they were few people, and the horses were really manic, and people couldn't stop them, so most of the horses ran over.

"Oh no, General, our war horses have all run to the other side for some reason!" A peasant army shouted at Liu Guoneng's camp on the runway.

"What? What's going on? Liu Guoneng was immediately furious, the importance of war horses, everyone who has fought knows it, but how difficult it is to obtain war horses, only those who are in charge of them know.

"I don't know why, today, as usual, the soldiers led their horses to the river to bathe, but suddenly many horses on the opposite side called out, and then our horses ran away from control as if they were crazy!" The soldier said in fear, none of them knew that Liu Guo could love the horse as much as his life, but the horse ran away.

Liu Guoneng was very angry, but he still forced himself to ask, "How much did you run?" ”

"We have less than two hundred horses left, and ......," said the soldier timidly.

"And what! Say it! Liu Guoneng said angrily.

"The general's mount also ran over!" The soldier whispered.

"What?!" Liu Guoneng was furious, a murderous look popped up in his eyes, he couldn't help it anymore, and shouted: "Come on, kill me, and snatch all my horses back!" ”

Seeing the sturdy horses, Qin Yiming's whole eyes lit up, and he got nearly two thousand horses at once, according to the market price, it is equivalent to more than 20,000 taels, and now it is estimated that ten taels of silver will not be able to buy a mare.

"A god stick is a god stick, amazing!" Qin Yiming couldn't help but admire, looking at the thin little old man, surrounded by smoke, he looked so cute.

The little monkey had already run to Song Xiance's side, and asked with a smile: "Sir, your trick is really powerful, I didn't expect this horse to be the same as a person, and also have feelings!" ”

"Horses are different from people, horses are more emotional than people!" Song Xiance replied.

"Yes, yes, yes, sir!"

Liu Guoneng was completely angry, his war horses ran to the opposite side, how could he not be angry, and the most unbearable thing for him was that even his own mount ran away.

"Kill me all over, and I must snatch my BMW back!" Liu Guoneng roared with red eyes, his sentinels were each hand-picking their subordinates, and some had already begun to command their subordinates to get on the boat, the pontoon bridge was too small, and it was impossible for a team of tens of thousands of people to pass in plain sight, but there were still some peasant troops passing through here, because it was the fastest here.

The commotion on the other side of the river, the snare drum on the side of the guard station immediately sounded, and everyone entered a state of combat readiness, Qin Yiming looked at the people on the other side, and laughed in his heart, this Liu Guoneng lost his mind for a few horses, they were sending them to death.

"Place the bronze cannon for me, as well as the five-bow bed crossbow, a swarm of bees, all ready for me!" Qin Yiming ordered.

The five-bow bed crossbow in Qin Yiming's army is not the five-bow bed crossbow in Anlu County, but a reduced version, but this reduced version is also very large, requiring thirty people to operate at the same time, and the shooting speed is very slow, but the shooting distance is very considerable, it can still reach two thousand steps, and there is no problem at all to shoot to the other side of the river.

The copper cannon is the small cannon made by John Tang, this kind of copper cannon is lighter than the iron cannon, and it can be easily reloaded, the shooting speed is fast, it is loaded with a wheeled vehicle, and it is suitable for field combat, but the shooting distance is short, only about one kilometer.

Ten Furlong bronze cannons were pushed to the shore, the surrounding artillery doors were nervously reloaded, and there were many dense swarms lined up, and the five bed crossbows and four were placed behind the copper cannons, surrounded by musketeers and archers of the musket battalion.

If Qin Yiming takes the initiative to attack, he doesn't know what the odds are, but defense, he has a great chance of winning, just these things, the far ones can hit up to three kilometers, and the close ones can hit up to thirty meters, it can be said to be an all-round blow, I believe that those thieves have not come over, they have been beaten to heavy losses, and they are bruised all over their bodies.

Li Cheng only heard that Qin Yiming defeated Zhang Xianzhong, but he didn't know how to defeat him, originally 60,000 thieves, Qin Yiming boldly confronted the collapse of the sky on the other side of the river, he was very opposed, they should be in Suizhou City, with high walls to guard, these thieves lack the most is the siege of the city, fighting in the field is to promote the shortcomings and avoid the strengths, committed the taboo of soldiers.

However, out of fear and respect for Qin Yiming, he did not express his objections, today's sudden battle caught him a little off guard, it is already evening, this Liu Guoneng is also crazy, and he launched an attack at this time.

Watching the boats on the other side of the river start to swim, Li Cheng's attention was not attracted by here, his attention was all on the pontoon bridge, at this time Da Niu was holding the pontoon bridge with his shield battalion, those crowded thieves were blocked by Da Niu's shield camp and could not advance an inch, the sound of fighting, the sound of weapons colliding, screaming, the sound of falling into the water, this sound was mixed.

"These rogues are not ordinary rabble, you see the way they attack on the pontoon, the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers in front are attacking, and the archers in the back are constantly throwing, and the use is very appropriate!" Li Cheng commented and said, the layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, Li Cheng looks at the battle of this rogue, and knows that Liu Guoneng is not ordinary.

Li Cheng's personal soldiers looked at it, nodded, and said: "My lord is observant, but these thieves are not ordinary, but with such a strong attack, it is difficult for them to advance, I don't know why?" ”

"This is because Lord Qin's shield battalion is too strong, you see that they are all so burly, and everyone's arm strength is very amazing, so they configure such a large iron shield, so that the iron shield can be like a turtle shell, protecting the soldier's body, and this shield itself is a weapon, such a defense, the head-on battle is simply invincible!" Li Cheng couldn't help but admire, such a strong shield battalion made him drool when he saw it.

Bang bang bang

The Furlong cannon began to roar.

Ten Furlong bronze cannons, the lead bullets sent out, quickly flew out, some hit the water, hit the huge waves on the river, and some directly hit the boats, those were originally thieves in the vicinity of the urgent looting of the civilian boats, itself is vulnerable, the hit civilian boats were directly smashed, some of the unfortunate thieves on the boat, some of the head, feet or other limbs, were directly knocked away, the mutilated corpses floated on the river, and soon the river was dyed red.

Li Cheng looked at those artillerymen, after firing a cannon, he immediately took out the sub-cannon, and then ordered a soldier to put in a filled sub-cannon, insert the twist, ignite and fire, it's as simple as that, just at such a speed, these Furlong cannons shoot not far, but the shooting speed is much faster than the red-coated cannons he has seen, ten Furlong cannons, there are waves on the river surface, and there are thieves screaming.

"Awesome, awesome! Lord Qin's family background is really thick, no wonder he can defeat Zhang Xianzhong, admire and admire, a thousand households are just that, there is such a belongings, tsk! Li Cheng was envious in his heart, but he couldn't figure out how Qin Yiming came up with these belongings, such a configuration, not to mention that these guards who couldn't even eat enough to eat, were recruited by the imperial court, and I am afraid that they did not have such a strong configuration.

"My lord, look, there are still a lot of people coming!" Li Cheng's personal soldiers pointed to the river, these civilian boats are still too many, ten furlong cannons obviously can't stop these thieves from crossing the river, seeing that those thieves are about to approach, the muskets began to shoot, rows of muskets, no need to aim, only need to shoot, their shooting speed is not slow, some thieves were killed on the boat, some thieves hid under the side of the ship, but they were still killed by the penetrating lead bullets, because the muskets were too dense, those thin ship boards could not block the attack of lead bullets.

"Ready!" Yang Jiuyi shouted, his eyes coldly looking at those rogues who were approaching.

"Shoot!" Yang Jiuyi shouted, and the flag-bearer beside him waved the flag.

When the thieves who rushed in front were about to land, Li Cheng was worried, at this time, Yang Jiuyi gave an order, and a swarm of bees began to exert their might, this picture shocked Li Cheng even more, it was too terrifying, so many arrows went straight out with anger, and the tongues of fire were lit up behind the arrows, with thick black smoke, such dense arrows, those thieves had no place to hide if they wanted to.

"Awesome, awesome! Isn't this the essence of Wu Lan's stacking formation? Li Cheng exclaimed.

"My lord, what is the stacking formation?" The pro-soldier asked.

Li Cheng looked at the smoke billowing on the battlefield, they couldn't see the situation on the river at this time, but those musketeers were still firing in turn, so he turned his head and said: "Wu Lan, a famous anti-Jin general, after comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the Jin cavalry and his own infantry, invented a method of battle called stacking formation. Every time I fight with the Jin people, when the Jin people enter the phalanx for a hundred steps, the divine arm bow is fired first, and when the seventy steps are taken, the strong bow is launched, so that the Jin cavalry has not yet fallen into battle, and has suffered great casualties, today's Qin Lord's stacked formation is more than Wu Xuan's formation back then, and it is all greater, this firepower is obviously a hundred times stronger, such a battle formation, I think even the Mongolian cavalry is difficult to rush to the front of the formation! ”

The smoke on the river gradually dispersed, at this time many ships had begun to retreat, the firepower they faced was too terrifying, this was not something they knew, they were afraid, many ships were in the middle of the river and did not dare to move, there was no drum of withdrawal, they did not dare to go back, but the enemy in front was too terrifying, and they were not willing to continue to die.

Liu Guoneng saw this situation, his eyes burst out bloodshot, today he lost his wife and broke his soldiers, the war horse was seduced away by the opposite side, and now his team has suffered heavy losses, so he beat his chest angrily and was resentful.

"General, order the withdrawal of troops, it is not appropriate to fight again at this time!"

"Yes, General, our army is demoralized, and if we continue to fight, we will not only have greater casualties, but we are also afraid that the soldiers will disperse!"

"Bastard, asshole!" Liu Guoneng gritted his teeth, pulled out his war knife and slashed it on the ground, slashing like crazy, and only when he was tired of cutting did he slowly say: "Collect the troops!" ”。

The drums sounded, and the rebel soldiers began to retreat, but at this time, the long arrows with tongues of fire in the sky flew over their heads and began to explode on their own side of the riverbank. The body was full of tiny black holes, and bright red blood slowly flowed out.

Many people were stunned and stupidly hung in place! What is it? How can you hit so far?

"Withdraw! Evacuate! The first to react roared, and then the rebels began to croak, and the retreat was chaotic, and the corpses left behind were scattered and miserable, and the whole river had turned red, and the corpses were floating on the water.
