Xiao Tianjian silently looked at the corpses and wounded soldiers of the township warriors everywhere in the two armies, and frowned slightly, he originally planned to expel this group of township soldiers, break up the army of this official army, take the opportunity to cover up the past, and completely defeat this official army and pull it down, but he didn't think about killing these township warriors, but he didn't expect the main general of this official army to be so ruthless, and he actually ordered the slaughter of these defeated village warriors, although these people were not killed by him, but they also died because of him, This made him somewhat apologetic to these dead and wounded villagers. 35

However, this thought only flashed in his mind, and he immediately threw it into his mind, and he persuaded himself that these people were not killed by him anyway, not to mention that they were both enemies, and he didn't have to pity anything if he died, and what he had to think about now was how to defeat the group of officers and soldiers in front of him and end this war as soon as possible.

So he immediately fixed his eyes on the opposite side of the official army array, at this time the official army array is still a little chaotic, but it is mainly concentrated on the two wings of the official army, but in the middle of the official army is placed more than a dozen chariots made of solid wood, it turns out that the enemy general wants to use such chariots to build their defense line to resist the attack of the Xingtian army.

In this way, if you want to defeat this group of officers and soldiers, it is not as simple as you originally thought, but at this time, Xiao Tianjian saw that the formation of the two wings of the official army had been disrupted by the rout, and this time was the time for him to take the opportunity to defeat this official army, so even if the other party set up a chariot defense line, he could not stop attacking, otherwise, once the opposing officer and army were given a chance to breathe, so that they could regain their foothold, then the next battle would probably be a stalemate.

And this time he came to meet the official army, simply wanted to defeat it in one fell swoop, so as to play a role in giving the Shanxi official a dismount, so a protracted war is not in line with his ideas, not to mention that once the war is fought, the official army is easier to get support than him, once the war is stalemate, the official will definitely send a steady stream of reinforcements, then it will be a waste of this good situation.

So he continued to order to advance, and at the same time sent people to immediately catch up with Huang Shengqiang's artillery team that was following closely behind, while the main force of the Xingtian Army continued to attack forward.

Under Xiao Tianjian's supervision, the generals of the Xingtian army continued to press towards the official army formation without stopping, constantly stepping over the corpses of the villagers who fell to the ground along the way, and approaching the enemy army formation step by step.

The officers and troops were finally hit by the rout to a certain extent, and the two flanks were obviously in chaos, and for a time the rout and the officers and troops were entangled together, and the despair and fear brought by the rout began to spread among the officers and troops, causing a commotion in the ranks of the officers and troops.

Although Niu Tai was promoted to his current official position by drilling the battalion, he still had some experience, and when he saw that the soldiers and horses on the two wings were already a little confused, he immediately sent his own soldiers to the two wings to suppress them, and at the same time sent his own soldiers to suppress the rout soldiers who were in chaos behind, and they transmitted their fear to their subordinates.

Seeing that the Xingtian Army was getting closer and closer, the small cannons on the chariot began to fire again, and for a while, the chariot was surrounded by gunpowder smoke, and it was almost impossible to see anything, only to see in the thick smoke, from time to time some flames would be spewed out, and all kinds of projectiles flew out and smashed into the queue of the Xingtian Army.

Fortunately, the artillery of these officers and soldiers is small cannons, with limited lethality, and the training of the officers and soldiers is very poor, and the shooting accuracy is also very bad.

A soldier of the Xingtian Army nervously clenched the bird gun in his hand, and his body trembled involuntarily, he was a soldier of the Xingtian Army who only finished the recruit training in the new barracks after the year, and he was only eighteen years old, after being arranged to the war team, he was selected to be a firecracker and received a bird gun, but in a war like today, he was involved for the first time, so at the beginning of the fight, he was very nervous, and it was better when he faced those villagers just now, after all, the other party's resistance was not very strong, but after arriving here, Seeing the cannons constantly flying out of the official formation, continuing to fall near their formation, and even directly falling in the formation, he began to be a little scared at this moment, although he also wanted to stabilize his mind, and kept chanting God bless, God bless.

But suddenly a cannonball flew and hit the head of a robe beside him, and the cannonball even tore the head of this companion beside him to pieces, and the blood splattered on his face with his brain, and there was a piece of minced meat on his cheek, he pulled a handful on his face in a panic, and raised his hand to see that his hand was full of blood and white brains, and even a small piece of human skin, so his tense nerves finally broke at this moment, and after screaming in his mouth, As soon as he dropped the bird gun he was carrying on his shoulder, he turned around and wanted to squeeze into the crowd behind him, escaping from the battlefield that had made him lose his soul.

As soon as he moved, it affected the formation, and immediately the soldiers in the back row scolded: "Go back to your position, go back quickly!" ”

"I'm not going back, I'm leaving! I'm not staying here anymore! Let me go! Get out of the way, let me go......" The frightened soldier screamed hysterically, trying to push the people behind him away from the place.

Just after he pulled away the two soldiers who were blocking him, before he had time to run back, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, he looked down and saw a person holding a short blade about a foot long, deeply inserted into his heart, and his strength seemed to be drained in an instant, he raised his head in disbelief and saw an old soldier with a scar on his face in front of him, looked at him indifferently, and then said coldly and loudly: "There is a covenant in military regulations, and everyone can punish those who escape from the battle!" Bah! Fucking bad luck, you greedy bastard! ......" Before he finished speaking, his hand holding the knife twisted it again, and pulled it out, and a stream of blood spurted out of the knife, splashing the old man's body, but as if he didn't see it, he put away his short blade.

The mentally broken soldier fell to his knees, and then fell headlong into the crowd, convulsed a few times and then lost his breath, his eyes still wide open, but his pupils rapidly dilated and became hollow.

This episode made the generals in the team shake slightly, but then everyone stopped looking at the deserter lying on the ground, and then stepped on his corpse and continued to walk forward.

Just when the two armies were fifty paces apart, Xiao Tianjian finally ordered to stop advancing, and then the two wings of the Xingtian Army began to cast a row of guns, and the result was another burst of gunfire, and the officials and soldiers were not to be outdone, and many officers and soldiers who climbed up on the chariots in front of the formation also used bird guns or three-eyed guns and bows and crossbows to shoot at the Xingtian Army.

The projectiles fired by the two sides staggered through the air, flying towards their targets, and people were constantly being shot and fell to the ground, and the Xingtian Army obviously had an advantage in the bird guns, and the new bird guns they used were very powerful, plus they were in rows (long live harmony, this is also forbidden!). Shooting, every time a row of guns is fired, the officers and soldiers will fall a group of people, and the officers and soldiers obviously do not pay attention to the birds, not only the number cannot catch up with the number of the Xingtian Army's birds, but also the quality is also a lot worse, coupled with the relatively little training, the firing speed is also significantly slower than the firecrackers of the Xingtian Army.

Under such a contest between the two armies, even if the inferior firepower of the officers and soldiers was revealed, the rows of officers and soldiers without chariots were quickly knocked to the ground, and although their three-eyed guns said that the projectile could fly out fifty steps, but after twenty steps away, the lethality was basically very weak, even if it hit the troops of the Heavenly Army, it was difficult to penetrate the armor on their bodies, and the projectile immediately fell to the ground, at most it was terrifying.

However, the heavy projectile hits the human body at such a distance, and it is a bloody hole, and the projectile that is shot into the body can even shatter the internal organs of the person, even if it is clothed in armor, it cannot withstand the bombardment of the large-caliber firearm of the Xingtian Army, and there is no reason to be spared with a bullet, and even hit the arm, which can tear off one of the person's arms, and beat the officers and soldiers to the point that they are turned on their backs, which is unbearable.

But the chariot of the official army is obviously very difficult to deal with, the chariot is equipped with a small Furlong cannon or a bowl gun, and there is a thick wooden baffle to cover the officers and soldiers in the car, providing a very good cover for the officers and soldiers, these officers and soldiers stand in the chariot, constantly firing arrows towards the Xingtian Army, causing considerable damage to the Xingtian Army, and the bird bullets of the Xingtian Army hit the baffle of the chariot, but rarely can penetrate the plank, even if it penetrates the plank, it basically has little power, so in the face of this slippery chariot, Xingtianjun suffered a lot of losses.

The whole battlefield was filled with all kinds of roars, birds and artillery opened fire one after another, and the smoke of gunpowder became thicker and thicker, almost making it impossible for both sides to see each other's figures, so they could only take the method of almost blind fire and shoot at the enemy.

Looking at the soldiers who kept falling on his side, Xiao Tianjian became anxious, and shouted loudly to ask Huang Shengqiang why he hadn't come up yet, but immediately heard the iron head shouting: "The Yellow Sentry General has come up with the brothers of the artillery team, but just now the Yellow Sentry General was hit by a bullet and was seriously injured and carried down!" ”

Xiao Tianjian didn't have time to care about Huang Shengqiang's injuries at this time, so he immediately ordered: "Let his deputy take over the command, give me all the strength to blast these damn chariots!" In addition, send another order, prepare paper mines, and organize trappers in the back to rush up and blow up these damn chariots for me! ”

Tietou immediately responded to the order and conveyed Xiao Tianjian's order, and soon Xiao Tianjian saw more than a dozen roars sounding on the left flank of the formation, raising clouds of gunsmoke, which made the gunpowder smoke in front of the two armies much thicker, choking people to breathe a little, and he knew that the artillery team had finally begun to fire.
