After all, the arquebus has a relatively slow rate of fire, even if the Xingtian Army has increased the loading speed a lot after adopting a full load of paper shell bullets, but the ordinary three-stage attack still cannot ensure the continuity of the dense firepower, so Xiao Tianjian simply commonly uses the method of firing the five-row firearms in turns, so as to completely ensure the continuity of firepower, forming a more distinctive five-stage attack of the Xingtian Army, for a considerable period of time, as long as the gun does not overheat, it can effectively form a continuous firepower kill on the enemy.

In order to save their lives, the officers and soldiers also went crazy under the desperate supervision of the officers, and used all the weapons at hand to fire at the oncoming Xingtian Army.

In just an instant, the open space between the two armies was filled with gunpowder smoke from various firearms, and no one could see each other clearly, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.

For a time, the sound of gunfire and artillery and the sound of killing in the two armies were in the ears, and the screams filled the entire battlefield, and the entire Hexi Village area seemed to be boiling the pot, and the soldiers of the two armies were knocked over to the ground one by one by various weapons, and there was blood everywhere, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, as if this place had sunk into hell in an instant.

In the face of such ferocious firepower of the Xingtian Army, although the officers and soldiers were also equipped with some firearms, as well as a lot of swarm rockets, bows and crossbows, etc., but in the face of the rows of bird salvos of the Xingtian Army, the officers and soldiers blocking in front of this section of the barracks were completely suppressed and could not raise their heads, and the officers and soldiers in the barracks were even more like cutting rice and were cut to the ground in rows, not to mention that these officers and soldiers were just ordinary local troops, even if they were strong border troops, facing such a fierce blow, they could not withstand such a fierce attack.

After the two armies fought at close range, that is, in less than a quarter of an hour, a group of officers and soldiers on the right side of the gate who were directly facing the firearms of the Xingtian army could not withstand such a fierce bombardment and began to rout, allowing the officers behind to desperately roar and suppress, but the remaining officers and soldiers still began to flee towards the camp like crazy.

The rout of a group of officers and soldiers immediately affected the officers and soldiers next to them, so even the officers and soldiers on both sides of them began to rout in an instant, there was a relatively clear front, but at this time, it became a pot of porridge, no matter how the officials were pressed, this rout could not be effectively contained, so that in the end, even the officers themselves were also wrapped up in the chaos, and suddenly the soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find their own soldiers, and a large number of officers and soldiers on the right side of the gate collectively began to retreat, trying to escape into the back camp, The defense line on the edge of the camp fence was suddenly broken.

Xiao Tianjian immediately stood in the middle of the Chinese army, carefully observing the battle situation in front, and through the thick smoke of gunpowder, he vaguely found that the right flank of the official army camp had begun to rout, so he immediately pointed in that direction and shouted to the heralds: "The left flank has begun to assault!" ”

As soon as they received the officer's order, they immediately pushed away the shield cart, covered their heads and bodies with shields, and at the same time covered several groups of soldiers carrying logs, rushed out of the shield cart, shouted in unison and divided into several streams of people, and rushed towards the official barracks.

A few logs slammed into the barracks, which was not sturdy in the first place, and a section of the barracks, which had been badly damaged by artillery fire and platoon guns, could no longer withstand such a heavy blow, and collapsed into the camp with a bang, and then these swordsmen and axemen covered the pikemen and slaughtered into the official camp.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Yishi, who was hiding in the camp, immediately hysterically beckoned the officers and soldiers in the battalion to rush up to intercept the thief army that had rushed into the camp, and the two armies instantly started a fight in the camp fence.

The camp fence is full of corpses and wounded officers and soldiers, as well as weapons scattered all over the ground, plus some large carts that were pulled to the camp fence, the ground situation is very complicated, after the assault team of the Xingtian Army rushed here, it was immediately intercepted by more than 200 officers and soldiers, and it was difficult to form their usual formation in a short period of time, so they could only rely on their personal combat skills to fight with these officers and soldiers.

The number of the Xingtian Army who rushed into the camp is still limited, and many of the officers and soldiers who were transferred by Xu Baishi are the family members of the officers, these family members can be said to be the elite of the officers and soldiers, and the training is relatively sufficient on weekdays, and the personal martial arts skills are also quite good, and they actually blocked the group of Xingtian Army members who rushed into the camp in the gap of the camp gate, and killed and injured twenty or thirty Xingtian Army troops in a short time. It forced the troops of the Xingtian Army, who had just entered the camp, to withdraw from the camp from the gap, temporarily preserving this broken gap.

Xu Yan still had some experience, so he hurriedly mobilized his troops and went to replace these family members, plugging the gap, and trying to block the attack of the Xingtian Army.

After Xiao Tianjian saw the situation, he immediately ordered the assault team to withdraw, and once again transferred a group of firecrackers to start firing in rotation at this gap.

As a result, the officer and army, which had just been transferred to plug the gap, were immediately put down by the projectiles from the split surface, and before they could gain a firm foothold, they were once again beaten and scattered, and fled to the depths of the camp.

At the same time, the battle situation at the gate of the big camp also hit to the extent of incandescent level, although the officers and troops stationed a large number of soldiers and horses at the gate, but in the face of the repeated impact of the fierce Xingtian army, they began to be unable to hold on, and the formation gradually showed chaos, and then a group of soldiers of the Xingtian army who held a shield in their left hand and a hissing and burning black guy in their right hand rushed to the gate, regardless of the iron thistle terrestris under their feet, and struggled to throw these burning black guys in their hands into the gate. After a while, I heard an explosion inside and outside the gate, and it turned out that the Xingtian Army repeated the old trick again, using the kind of thunderbolt cannon they were equipped with, and immediately blew up the group of officers and soldiers guarding the Yuanmen, and the flying iron filings were immediately embedded in the bodies of many officers and soldiers, and these officers and soldiers who were in pain cried and cried for their mothers, and fell to the ground one after another, and the remaining officers and soldiers were frightened so they could no longer bear it, and they scattered and threw the Yuanmen to the Xingtian Army.

Inspired by the loud trumpet, many members of the Xingtian Army flocked to the Yuanmen bravely, and in just a while, they overthrew the Yuanmen and rushed into the camp.

At this point, the barracks of the official army camp have almost been broken into a broken sieve, leaking air everywhere, and several groups of Xingtian army generals have entered the official army camp from the gap, and have started hand-to-hand combat with the officers and soldiers in the camp.

After a short period of confusion, the Xingtian soldiers who rushed into the camp formed several small spear formations, and in the shouts of the officers, the spears were put down in rows, shouting to kill the heaven-shaking officers and soldiers in the camp.

The pikemen, with blood-red eyes and beast-like shouts of slaughter, reflexively stabbed their spears forward, knocking anyone who stood in their way to the ground, keeping their formation in formation.

The sword players consciously crouched down or spread out to cover the positions below the front line or on the two wings of the pikemen, so that the officers and soldiers did not get close to the pikemen, so that the pikemen of the Xingtian Army gave full play to their due combat effectiveness, and gradually converged in the official and military camps to form a larger gun array.

Under the command of the servant surnamed Xu, although the officers and soldiers tried to knock the Xingtian Army out of the camp, but as more and more of the Xingtian Army attacked the camp, the resistance of the officers and soldiers became more and more pale, and seeing that the general trend had gone, many officers and soldiers or village warriors turned around and fled into the camp to escape the hunting of the Xingtian Army, so the entire official army completely collapsed at this time.

This battle lasted almost until dusk, and then basically completely stopped, three thousand officers and soldiers under the onslaught of the Xingtian Army, completely collapsed, in addition to some officers and soldiers Xiang Yong was killed on the spot, nearly eight hundred officers and soldiers Xiang Yong finally became prisoners of the Xingtian Army, only a small half of the officers and soldiers in the chaos, were able to rush out of the camp and flee to Qinshui County, but even so, these officers and soldiers who escaped from the camp by luck, I am afraid that not many people have the opportunity to escape back to Qinshui County, because at the beginning of the battle, Shi Ran led more than 100 scouts, cut off the retreat of the officers and soldiers in advance, even if they escaped from the camp, they would be intercepted by Shi Ran's troops, and it is estimated that in the end, only a few officers and soldiers may flee into the mountains and forests to hide, and then cross the mountains and forests and flee back to Qinshui County.

And the official in the army, surnamed Xu, in this battle, because he ran a little slower, was chopped into meat sauce by the Xingtian army on the spot, and two of them followed him to become victims of this battle, and the weapons, grain, and baggage brought by the officials and soldiers basically became the trophies of the Xingtian army.

And in this battle, it is not only the soldiers of the Xingtian Army who have exerted their super will to fight, but also many of the soldiers from Yangcheng Township who accompanied them, in this battle, also showed extremely strong combat effectiveness, they followed the soldiers of the Xingtian Army, specially picked up some lone officers and soldiers, and surrounded and suppressed a small group of scattered officers and troops around the camp, effectively supporting the battle of the main force of the Xingtian Army.

Even those recruits who had just been training for more than a month showed their strong combat effectiveness after the combat corps entered the main camp, assembled and attacked the main battalion, replaced the exhausted soldiers, completed the encirclement and suppression of the remaining officers and soldiers in the large battalion, and captured many officers and soldiers.

This was the first time since the Xingtian Army entered Yangcheng that large-scale soldiers fought together with the township troops, and although there was some chaos in the battle, under the timely dispatch of the officers, it still curbed the continued expansion of the chaos and gained a lot of experience.

As the attacker, the Punishment Army gave full play to their advantage in firepower, and effectively used the captured shield carts to reduce casualties, and after the post-battle counting, the Punishment Army, including soldiers, recruits and township soldiers, lost more than 130 people in total, and wounded less than 200 people, compared to the results they obtained, such casualties can be said to be another complete victory.

For such casualties, Xiao Tianjian thinks it is worth it, after all, this kind of world, human life is the most worthless thing, he wants elite soldiers, soldiers who have never seen blood or shed blood, they can't be called elite soldiers, only through continuous fighting, can his subordinates be tempered into refined steel, death and injury are inevitable.

And he didn't worry about replenishing the troops at the moment, if it weren't for the problem of considering the money and food needed to raise the soldiers, it would not be a problem for him to recruit twenty or thirty thousand troops at the moment, anyway, there are many people who want to join the Xingtian Army, and with the training mechanism he has established, he can provide him with a steady stream of usable soldiers in a short period of time, rather than a rabble like other rebels.

Every battle is indispensable to kill and wound some generals, this kind of loss is inevitable, and the Xingtian Army has established a relatively complete set of battlefield ambulance team, the vast majority of the wounded will be immediately treated by the medical staff, will not be easily killed because of some minor injuries, so this battle, the number of dead can be effectively controlled within 200 people, in the face of the results achieved, such losses can indeed be said to be insignificant, so after listening to the casualty figures summarized by the various departments, Xiao Tianjian no longer feels as painful as before.

After the end of this battle, Xiao Tianjian summoned the generals to his tent overnight, although the generals were a little tired, but after the big victory, they were in good spirits, Luo Li this guy fought during the day, and made the old mistake of rushing to kill in front, and suffered two arrows, fortunately, this guy has rough skin and thick meat, and is dressed in a set of iron armor, the arrows are not deep in the flesh, and there is no major event after bandaging, and he is still alive and bragging with people about how brave he is, how many officers and soldiers he killed, which can be seen that this period of continuous long-distance running and fighting, for this guy, it doesn't have any effect.

Looking at these generals who were gathered in the tent, Xiao Tianjian coughed lightly to stop their laughter, and said: "Don't be too happy, everyone, we have just knocked out an official army in this battle, and there are two official troops marching towards our territory, as long as they enter the Yangcheng territory all the way, then for us, it will only mean defeat!"

So don't get carried away too soon! At present, I am afraid that we have not yet reached the time to celebrate, and early tomorrow morning, we will rush to Beiliu to support Zhao Erdonkey, and repel the official army from the direction of Zezhou, so as to withstand this attack of the official army!

Everybody's on orders! ”

When the happy generals heard this, they immediately put away their laughter, and shouted with their chests straight: "The last general!" ”

"Luo Li took over from Li Xuanzhu to garrison here, and I will leave you with three hundred township soldiers to continue to clean up the battlefield here, and transfer what you have gained back to Lotus Village! The rest of the people will wait for tomorrow morning, and then they will rush to Beiliu with me, and tonight the officers and men in the army will rest early, so go down! Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered.

The generals immediately took the order and turned around to withdraw from Xiao Tianjian's big tent, but Luo Li didn't agree, and hurriedly shouted: "General! Why did you want me to stay here? I haven't had enough of this battle! Please go to Kitaya with the general! ”

Xiao Tianjian looked at Luo Li and replied with a smile: "Luo Li! I know that you are a great general, including your brothers! But remember, no one is iron, and even if they do, your brothers are tired! You must know that you people have been following me in the north and south for nearly two months, and I don't want to see these good brothers burn down! ”

Luo Li stopped hearing this, and said with a stiff neck: "What is this accumulation?" Didn't the general wait for me and wait for me, and didn't take a breath for two or three months? How can we get tired so easily? Please also ask the general to allow me to go to Beiliu with the general! ”

After Xiao Tianjian heard this, he put away the smile on his face, glared at Luo Li and scolded angrily: "Presumptuous! This is a military order! You can't bargain! If you want to stay, you will stay, we will still have a long way to go in the future, and there will be endless battles for you! Stand down! ”

Luo Li has great respect for Xiao Tianjian, don't look at his natural character of not being afraid of heaven and earth, but as soon as he pairs Xiao Tianjian, he has no temper, seeing Xiao Tianjian's eyes and anger, so Luo Li didn't dare to say more, and quickly bowed his head and said: "The last general obeys orders!" ”

After saying that, Luo Li hurriedly withdrew from the big tent, and came out just to meet Li Xuanzhu waiting for him outside the tent, Li Xuanzhu smiled at him: "Brother Luo, don't be angry, the general is sympathetic to the hard work of your brothers in this post, so I let you rest here!" This time, it's time for my brother and me to follow the general to the event and move my muscles! Brother Luo, don't fight with me anymore! ”

Luo Li muttered: "I also know that the general is sympathetic to our brothers, but now that the general is also employing people, how can we let our group stay here and rest?" Seeing that there is a war but I can't follow it, it is the panic of aggrieved! That's it! Since the general has an order, I Lao Luo can only act according to the order, I said Lao Li, you follow the general to Beiliu this time, but you have to fight for some anger and slaughter a few more dog officials for me! If it's a shame, I don't depend on you! ”

Li Xuanzhu laughed and agreed.

(The red ticket is not powerful!) Work harder, come up with a 5,000-word chapter, and shout again, and see if there are any brothers who give you two money! Hehe! ）
