As Xiao Tianjian expected, when the gunners of the official army advanced their general guns and Furlong machine guns to a distance of 200 steps from the stone bridge, they did not dare to continue to advance, but hurriedly used the shield cart to cover their figures, and hurriedly began to load ammunition.

The shells fell one after another on the mounds and earthen embankments in the west of the bridge, causing the earth and rocks in the west of the river to fly wildly, and from time to time raising clouds of smoke and dust.

When they saw that the cannons on their side were roaring one after another, causing the earth and rocks to fly around the west of the bridge, and the thieves were also hiding, the officers and soldiers immediately shouted, pushed their shield carts, and began to accelerate towards the stone bridge.

Seeing that the official army was about to approach the stone bridge, Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and ordered: "Pass the order and fire the cannon!" ”

Several Furlong cannons immediately roared, and clouds of gunpowder smoke immediately rose from the river embankment and mounds, and the gun wagons jumped violently under the recoil, moving backwards for a distance of several feet, and then Huang Shengqiang's gong-like roar sounded: "Retreat, clear the chamber, change the gun!" Hurry up for Lao Tzu! ”

And Xiao Tianjian was observing the landing point of the shells on the other side of the bridge, a few shells flew out of the barrel with a whistling breech, and landed on the east side of the bridge, but unfortunately the firing accuracy of this first round was really not flattering, only one of the five shells fell in the formation of the officers and soldiers, overturning several officers and soldiers, and several other shells fell around this group of officers and soldiers, and they were not able to kill or injure the officers and soldiers at all, let alone hit the shield car of the officers and soldiers, and the ground of the land where the shells landed was a little soft, After the cannonball landed, it immediately fell into the soil, and it could not bounce on the ground one after another, so the power weakened a lot, which made Xiao Tianjian shake his head and be very dissatisfied.

"Tell Huang Shengqiang that if he still achieves this virtue in this round of firing, he will simply stop doing it! I'll replace him! Xiao Tianjian turned his head and yelled at his own soldiers.

The soldiers immediately rushed to Huang Shengqiang's position and loudly passed Xiao Tianjian's words to Huang Shengqiang.

Huang Shengqiang was very faceless, kicked aside a gunner who was aiming, and scolded: "It's all a bunch of stupid people, it's only less than 200 steps, you fucking fight like this!" What a fucking loser! Get out of the way and let Lao Tzu aim! ”

Huang Shengqiang lay on the cannon body, lifted the cannon body with the help of the light door and the front sight on the Furlong cannon, and carefully aimed at it, personally snatched the red-hot iron drill, and stabbed it into Zi Gong's fire door.

Just heard a bang, the Furlong cannon jumped violently, a puff of smoke spewed out, and then look at the direction of the group of officers and soldiers in the distance, the front of a shield car when the fragments flew around, collapsed to the ground, and several officers and soldiers pushing the shield car were also shocked out, an unlucky officer and soldier was smashed into the lower abdomen by the broken handlebar, the wood stubble was deeply inserted into his lower abdomen, he fell to the ground in pain and screamed, pulled out the wood with force, and even a piece of intestines was also brought out, The officers and soldiers around him were frightened, and they could only watch him die slowly.

Although the officers and soldiers were afraid, but after all, they were soldiers who had seen a big scene, and they did not stop because of this, and under the order of the officers, the rest of the shield carts gathered together again, protected the soldiers behind them, and continued to push the shield carts, rushing towards the stone bridge.

The shells of both sides roared and staggered in the air, constantly falling on each other's heads, but unfortunately the shells on both sides were solid bullets, and the power was really limited, except for just hitting the other party, the effect of killing was not good, so no matter how Huang Shengqiang accelerated the speed of firing the artillery, it still couldn't stop the pair of officers and soldiers from advancing forward, but it only broke the shield cars of the three officers and soldiers, and the damage to the officers and soldiers was not much.

Xiao Tianjian's face became solemn, the caution of this group of officers and soldiers made the Xingtian Army a little helpless against them, seeing that after a few rounds of artillery were released, the damage to the enemy was limited, so he waved his hand and said: "Stop firing the cannon!" Let them go to the bridge and fight again! Save some ammo! ”

Although the Xingtian Army has reserved some ammunition, but after the consumption of the siege in the past few days, their ammunition reserves have been consumed very quickly, and today they have an artillery battle with the official army, so that the ammunition they brought with them will soon be consumed by a small half, and the battle still has to be fought in this battle, so if it continues to fight like this regardless of the cost, it is estimated that it will not be long before his gunpowder reserves will bottom out.

He had to limit the consumption of ammunition until he could get new supplies, and when the ammunition was gone, his façade-filled artillery became deaf ears.

The officers and soldiers did not have this problem, their ammunition was much more abundant than that of the Xingtian Army, not to mention that as long as they returned to Longzhou City, they could get a large number of replenishments, so the officers and soldiers on the east bank of the river did not stop for a moment from the beginning of the fire, and the officers and soldiers who operated the artillery worked hard to reload, lighting the artillery one after another, and smashing the shells to the west bank of the river without money, so that the people of the Xingtian Army had to hide behind the river embankment and did not dare to show their heads easily.

Seeing that the thieves no longer fired artillery to intercept them, the officers and soldiers immediately cheered: "The thieves' artillery has made the brothers behind us dumb!" Go! rushed over to avenge Mr. Lu Qian! An officer pulled his neck and shouted in the middle of the formation, and when the officers and soldiers heard the strength, they accelerated their speed and advanced towards the stone bridge, and soon the vanguard arrived at the stone bridge, ready to push the two shield carts side by side on the stone bridge, and use this as a cover to attack the stone bridge.

By this time they were less than a hundred paces away from the west bank of the river! Hearing Huang Shengqiang roar again, the three Furlong cannons in the south of the bridge fired almost simultaneously, and then the two Fran cannons in the north of the bridge also rang out.

I saw that the two shield carts that had just been retreated to the bridgehead by the officers and soldiers immediately turned into two crumbs, and the scattered scattered frames fell crookedly at the bridgehead, and a group of angry scolding and screams of the officers and soldiers sounded at the bridgehead.

But this time, the officers and soldiers were mentally prepared, and without waiting for the gunners of the Xingtian Army to cheer and celebrate, they set up a few exterminating cannons and small Furlong machines removed from the chariot in the east of the river, and roared towards the opposite bank, as a result, a Furlong cannon on Huang Shengqiang's side south of the bridge, even if it was hit, was overturned behind the mound, and the two gunners were also affected and fell in a pool of blood.

As soon as these cannons rang out, there were two more tiger squat cannons that were put out by the officers and soldiers, and they were lit in a short time, and the earthen embankment in the north of the bridge suddenly crackled and fell like a rainstorm, and a lead even hit Xiao Tianjian's right arm, fortunately, there was a distance of more than 100 steps from the tiger squat cannon here, and when the little lead flew here, he had already lost his strength, but Xiao Tianjian's armor piece was dented down, so that Xiao Tianjian's right arm shook violently, but it did not hurt Xiao Tianjian, But it still frightened a few of his relatives around him, and they pounced on him to drag Xiao Tianjian down.

"Get out of the way! There's no danger here! Give it all to me! Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and drove Tietou and a few other guards aside, and continued to pay attention to the officers and soldiers in the east of the bridge.

The officials and soldiers were ruthless this time, and planned to conquer the big stone bridge with one drum, and kill the west of the bridge to fight with the Xingtian army, so they invited all the heavy guys out, and they bombarded the west of the bridge again.

Even some soldiers armed with bird guns, regardless of whether they could hit the Heavenly Army, began to fire towards the west of the bridge.

"Stupid! Hum! A hundred steps away, he fired with a bird gun, and this He Renlong's training level is also this ability! After Xiao Tianjian saw it, he immediately sneered.

On the one hand, he was surprised by the number of firearms of the Ming army, but on the other hand, he felt sad for the level of training of the Ming army, no wonder the Ming army in the case of such advanced firearms, and the Eastern Tatars will be defeated in every battle, and the situation in front of him fully shows that the Ming army's level of training is only poor, and the command ability of their officers is poor!

Thinking back to the Qi family army that Qi Jiguang organized and trained back then, I really feel sorry for Qi Jiguang, as soon as he died, the Qi family army that was finally trained quickly disappeared in the long river of history, and even his way of training troops was not inherited by the later Ming army generals, if the officers and soldiers can be like the Qi family army, it is estimated that these righteous troops are all a plate of rotten dishes at all, and even the Tartars are estimated to be a little better!

However, it can't be said that He Renlong's subordinates don't have any ability, although the offensive battle is a little messy, but after all, their firepower is more abundant than that of the Xingtian Army.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Xingtian army was suppressed, the officers and soldiers cleaned up the broken shield cart in the east of the bridge, and began to push the shield cart onto the stone bridge, and pushed it towards the west of the bridge step by step, but because the bridge was covered with the corpses left by the officers and soldiers in the previous battle, they pushed the corpses off the stone bridge while advancing, and the advance became a little slower.

When Xiao Tianjian was thinking about how to deal with this group of officers and soldiers, a few war horses rushed from the north and south sides, and as soon as they arrived in front of Xiao Tianjian, these scouts rolled their saddles and dismounted, and rushed to Xiao Tianjian's front to report to Xiao Tianjian: "General Qiyu, three miles north of the Wanzi River, I found an officer army of hundreds of people crossing the river!" Please, the general decides! ”

"General Qiyu, four miles down from here, I also found a group of officers and soldiers building a pontoon bridge to cross the river, with a strength of about seven or eight hundred! The little incompetence does not see who the Lord will be! Another scout returning from the south replied immediately.

Xiao Tianjian and several of his subordinates immediately became nervous after hearing this, it seems that this time it really stabbed the hornet's nest, He Renlong actually sent two officers and soldiers at the same time, from the upstream and downstream to cross the Wanzi River at the same time, plus a big stone bridge here, he used three soldiers and horses at once, and attacked at the same time, this time it is not easy to do!

Xiao Tianjian thought nervously about the current situation, if He Renlong only sent one route of officers and soldiers from another place to rush to cross, he could still draw out a part of the troops to go to block the officers and soldiers, but this time there were officers and soldiers from both sides, his troops would be stretched, if he forcibly divided the troops, with his troops, each way can only send two or three hundred people, once He Renlong went crazy and led the main force to rush over from the big stone bridge regardless of life or death, then it would be impossible for the remaining troops to stop them.

Several generals also nervously turned their eyes to Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian relaxed the expression on his face as much as possible, lowered his mind, and all kinds of thoughts turned sharply, and suddenly he realized that he had made another mistake.
