According to Sun Yingyuan's cognition, although the bird gun is powerful in long range, but the loading is very slow, they don't believe that the thief army can still load ammunition after a few rounds of salvos, and as long as they rush to the front of the thief army, the thief's bird gun will become a burning stick, it should be slaughtered with them, the only worry is that the spearmen of the thief army who are gathered together may cause great trouble to his cavalry, but at this time, he didn't dare to spare the troops without fighting, and made up his mind that even if he fought all these elite cavalry at hand, as long as he could break them up, Then the shape of the thief army will inevitably be in chaos, so that if he leads his troops to rush again, then no matter how fierce this group of thieves is, they will be crushed by them, and they will eventually be overwhelmed.

But Sun Yingyuan, who met the Xingtian Army for the first time, didn't know that the Xingtian Army had already used paper-shell ammunition, coupled with the rigorous training received by the firecrackers in peacetime, the loading speed of the bird guns was far more than double that of the official and military gunners, and the Xingtian Army strictly prohibited the indiscriminate use of guns in war, and the salvo method of three-stage suppression or five-stage attack was used as a whole according to the different action speeds of the enemy's arms, which could basically ensure the continuity of firepower, which had been tested countless times by the Xingtian Army. For enemy launches, there is no delay in the fighter because of slow reloading.

Seeing that these hundreds of cavalry horses were speeding towards Liu Yaoben's formation, Liu Yaoben suddenly ordered to concentrate fire on the official cavalry, and then the firecrackers on both wings turned their guns, and in an instant, they aimed at these official cavalry who rushed towards them.

Another bean-like sound sounded, and suddenly on the two wings of the iron battalion there was a terrible neighing sound of war horses, one by one the war horses neighed and screamed miserably, and they were shot and stumbled and fell to the ground with the cavalry on their backs, and even these cavalry were also unlucky, either they were killed on the spot, or they were broken and broken and lay on the ground screaming, so that the firecrackers of the Xingtian Army would not be stupid to aim at the cavalry and fire, one by one, with the powerful self-generated firearms in their hands, they only aimed at the big target horses and fired, The heavy projectile hit the war horse, and even the war horse could not stand such an injury, and they either jumped up and down or plunged to the ground, and these cavalrymen were standard people who turned on their backs, and they were miserable.

The distance of dozens of steps is almost a distance for the cavalry galloping at high speed, although the soldiers of the Xingtian Army take turns to fire, but they can only fire three volleys, and the rest of the cavalry rushed to the front, without Liu Yaoben's order, a row of pikemen immediately came out of the crowd, and after a deep roar, they squatted down, pestled the spear in their hands on the ground, and pointed the long spear in front of them.

The Iron Bone Battalion was like a porcupine with thorns in an instant, surrounded by dense spears, several cavalry could not rein in, and crashed into the forest of guns with an exclamation, and in an instant was stabbed into a hornet's nest by countless spearmen and horses, although it knocked away a few pikemen, but the effect was not obvious at all, and the small gap formed was quickly filled by other pikemen, and the gap was quickly sealed.

And the musketeers were not idle, after retreating into the formation, they continued to raise their guns behind the pikemen to aim, and with the officer's order to fire at the officers and cavalry outside, after each salvo, there would be several dozen war horses neighing and falling to the ground, frightening these officers and soldiers and cavalry to turn their horses and retreat outside, this battle is really unbeatable, the arrows of the Xingtian Army make them bite the hedgehog and have no way to get down, and this hedgehog array keeps spitting out the projectiles of the fire, which is completely a new formation, The cavalrymen left behind the corpses of men and horses, as well as the wounded, and fled back one after another.

Sun Yingyuan looked at this scene dumbfounded, and now he finally understood why Zu Dale and Zu Kuan's Guanning Iron Cavalry were all in the hands of the Xingtian Army, this strange phalanx of the Xingtian Army can be said to effectively combine defense and offense, the pikemen are responsible for resisting the impact of the enemy, and the firecrackers are responsible for outputting firepower, which can be said to be seamless in coordination, and they can't talk at all, so if the officers and soldiers want to fight with them in close combat, they don't want to get involved in the punishment of the Heavenly Army.

If you want to break through such an enemy formation, unless you don't want to drive the soldiers and horses to fill in at a point, relying on the number of people, resist the volley of the Xingtian Army, but if you do that, the officers and soldiers under his command will not do it, of course he knows that with the quality of the officers and soldiers under his command, it is okay to fight a good battle, if they let them fill it with their lives, it is simply impossible, even if he let his family do this, it is impossible, if he can't rush to the enemy, the officers and soldiers under his command will be unable to withstand such pressure, and they will break up first.

Another way is to use the same fighting style as the Xingtian Army, use a large number of firecrackers, use the same bird guns to shoot at it, and exchange life for life, to see who can not bear such casualties and rout in the end, or use far more than the number of enemy troops to completely defeat the opponent, otherwise there can be no other way to deal with this formation of the thief army, of course, if there is a Hongyi cannon, you can also bombard the thief army from a long distance outside the range of the thief army's bird gun, but that has to be done! He led his troops out of the camp this time, it was to fight in the field, it was impossible to carry the cannon out, and it was even more impossible to rely on people to fill it, he knew the ability of his officers and soldiers, and if he was in a hurry, they dared to defect in front of the battle on the spot, so Sun Yingyuan ordered the archers in the army to step forward and throw arrows at the Xingtian Army, trying to throw arrows at the Xingtian Army, trying to throw the thief army's formation into chaos by firing a rain of arrows.

However, after all, the long-distance firing power of the bow and arrow is very limited, coupled with the lack of training of the officers and soldiers, the foot bow used is not a hard bow, and it cannot use heavy arrows, and the arrows shot look terrifying, and when they float to the Xingtian Army's array, they often can't break the armor, and even the Xingtian Army soldiers with wide-brimmed felt hats only need to lower their heads, and the arrows can't even shoot through the felt hats, let alone cause a lot of casualties to the Xingtian Army.

However, the return fire of the firecrackers of the Xingtian Army was not polite, and the rows of firecrackers were nervously and orderly clearing, removing, and loading...... Then rows and rows stepped forward to fire, this projectile hit the body, but it was real, even if it was dressed in iron armor, it was shot within fifty steps, it couldn't stop the projectile, not to mention that the ordinary soldiers who have always been regarded as consumables could not be equipped with perfect iron armor, and it was good to have a worn mandarin duck battle jacket, and suddenly the archers of the official army were knocked to the ground one by one under the counterattack of the Xingtian army, and they were soon defeated, and finally Sun Yingyuan, who couldn't hold on, had to order to go around the city, It was planned to bypass Runing City from the south of the city to support Huang Degong's department.

But where can Liu Yaoben's iron battalion let them get their wish, the officers and soldiers retreated, they advanced, followed by the officers and soldiers hanging behind Sun Yingyuan's soldiers and horses like maggots attached to the bones, from time to time to make short stops and rapid shots, overturning a piece of officers and soldiers behind the palace, neither close combat with the officers and soldiers, nor separated from them, just a bite is a bite, so that Sun Yingyuan is thunderous but there is no way, and finally he can't get rid of this terrible thief army, if he continues to fight like this, he may not be so many soldiers and horses will be killed by their small thief army. So Sun Yingyuan was really scared, and had to order the whole army to return to the camp, as for Huang Degong's side, he could only say sorry, not that he didn't help, but that the thief army was too powerful, and he couldn't help even if he tried his best.

Seeing Sun Yingyuan being driven back to the camp in a gloomy manner, the soldiers of the iron battalion under Liu Yaoben's command immediately let out a cheer, and the more active generals simply laughed loudly at their incompetence outside Sun Yingyuan's camp, and the angry Sun Yingyuan ordered to ask for a cannon and fire at the thieves outside the camp, until he saw the official army firing the cannon, Liu Yaoben triumphantly led his troops to retreat, sitting far away from the range of the official cannon, and continued to stare at Sun Yingyuan's camp.

This battle is aggrieved enough, this is like people bullying to the door of the house, being blocked by people and scolding the street casually, and throwing basins into the house, but they are stunned and dare not go out, the angry officers and soldiers gritted their teeth one by one, and at the same time felt extremely helpless, and the result could only be frustrated, and this morale can be said to have fallen into the crotch of the pants at once.
