The gunner quickly ignited the fuse in the breech with his torch, and then galloped ten paces away, covering his ears with both hands. In order to protect the ears of the artillerymen, the gunners in Song Youliang's army stuffed cotton in their ears, so the orders of the artillery were not mainly shouted or heralded, but by flags. The gunner was accompanied by soldiers who were specially responsible for guarding the order flag. As soon as the flag bearer saw the flag giving the order, he immediately turned around and conveyed it to the artillerymen. The artillerymen carried out the order as quickly as possible

The lead quickly ignited into the chamber of the cannon with green smoke

"......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Forty cannons roared almost simultaneously, and dazzling fireballs whistled out from the muzzles, carrying a piercing screech as they swept forward, huddled together, shouting and rushing forward. As soon as the men and horses of the cavalry touched the cannonballs, they were instantly beaten to pieces of flesh and blood, and severed limbs and stumps were scattered everywhere.

The solid iron bullets fired by Ko Feilin's cannon were like scorching iron plows, and there were forty blood marks more than a hundred steps deep in the formation of the invading soldiers. The charging formation of the invading cavalry was almost pierced, and where the iron bullets rolled through, the invading soldiers and war horses were knocked into limbs and torn apart, and fell to the ground.

The war horse under Zhang Nai's crotch was rolled off a horse's leg by a solid iron bullet, and Zhang Nai's body fell forward violently. However, Zhang Nai, relying on his outstanding equestrian skills, took a few steps in the air, landed steadily, and then grabbed the saddle of an ownerless war horse beside him, turned over and rode on horseback, almost brandishing the steel knife in his hand and roaring towards the line of officers and soldiers

Mines and cannons bought the workers thirty seconds, and a horse-repellent post nearly a kilometer long was erected in the blink of an eye. There was no time to appreciate their masterpiece, so the workers hurriedly retreated, and another group of workers carried the wood to a position about twenty-five meters away from the first rejection horse, and began to build the second rejection horse. At the same time, musketeers consisting of European mercenaries and Chinese soldiers, led by Heinrich and Ludwig, followed.

"......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The Korfilin cannon let out a roar that shook the ground again, and this time the cannonball fired was a shrapnel, that is, a flowering shell. The flowering bullets first tore through the formation of the invading army like an iron plow, and then exploded after penetrating deep into the enemy's formation, and the rifle bullets flew in the sky to form a wide barrage with a radius of dozens of paces. Those who were close to the location of the shell explosion were even more flesh and blood that were slashed by the projectile, and it was unbearable to see, and the white bones could be seen in many wounds

Most of these intruders were honest farmers not long ago, and many of them had not even been to the ground dozens of miles away. On weekdays, they know how to farm and lay young. For artillery, most of them only stay at the stage of hearing about it, when have you seen such a terrible ghost thing?

Some of the intruders began to have a numb scalp and looked left and right for an opportunity to escape. But tens of thousands of people, especially tens of thousands of cavalry, are not so easy to stop, even if the people in front want to stop, the people behind will desperately push them up.

"Rush, don't stop!"

"Rush up and kill all these dog officials~"

"Brothers, as long as you rush forward, the dog officer will be finished!"

Zhang Nai kept shouting, brandishing his waist knife and rushing to the front of the intruding formation, this guy deserved to be one of the best generals under Li Zicheng. I'm afraid that even Lord Yama will have to walk around when he sees it. The salvo of forty cannons killed thousands of intruders, but they couldn't kill him! It didn't even hurt a hair of his hair

"Boom, boom, boom......"

It was another wave of shaking. There was another earth-shattering bang.

In less than a moment, the Kou Feilin cannon opened fire for the third time, and another forty howitzer shells carried a terrible whistling pear through the formation of the intruding soldiers, and it was a terrible scene of flesh and blood flying and severed limbs and stumps dancing around.

This time, Zhang Nai's luck was not so good, a grenade shrapnel was bandaged less than ten meters beside him, flying all over the sky, and the unscrupulous projectile knocked out seven or eight blood holes on the left half of Zhang Nai's body. If he hadn't been wearing armor, I'm afraid he would have died on the spot.

At this time, the cavalry of the invading army, after paying a heavy price, finally rushed to the front of the first line of rejection horses, which were as high as one meter and a half, and it was not so easy to cross. The fastest cavalry could not restrain the galloping horses and crashed into it. There were also knights who tried to jump over the rejection of the horse, but the horse's belly was pierced by the sharp rejection of the horse, and it hung in the air like a rock sugar gourd. As a result, some of the cavalry that followed jumped off their horses and were about to uproot the horses

"Fire~" The musketeers, who had been waiting behind the second rejection, began to shoot at the intruders who were trying to pull out the rejection under the command of Heydrich and Ludwig

呯~~呯~~呯呯~~呯~~呯

呯~~呯~~呯

呯~~呯~~呯

The musketeers standing in the first row fired their guns straight, followed by three companions who continued to hand him loaded muskets. This rifle is a new type of rifled gun produced by the Hai Duong Guard, which is superior to the honest bird gun in terms of range and accuracy. Moreover, the musketeer could place the gun on the repelling horse to improve the accuracy of the shot

呯~~呯~~呯呯~~呯~~呯

呯~~呯~~呯

呯~~呯~~呯

Under the incessant musket fire, many of the intruders who tried to pull out the rejection horse were often fired as soon as their hands were on the rejection horse. The loud sound of a salvo of thousands of muskets scared some of the new recruits into the army

Zhang Nai saw that the strong attack could not be achieved, so he endured the severe pain and shouted: "Retreat~~Retreat~~"

If the intruders were granted amnesty, they quickly turned their horses and ran, and some of the slower runners became the souls of the officers and soldiers. After the cavalry ran away, the artillery of the officers and soldiers fired two more shots. Nearly 1,000 troops flew with flesh and blood, and died on the battlefield.

At midnight (9 o'clock), the first attack of the Chuang army failed

After Zhang Nai returned to the camp, his face was already pale, and he was quickly carried to rescue the injured.

Li Zicheng had long expected that the officers and soldiers would bombard with artillery, but he did not expect that the artillery of the officers and soldiers would be so powerful. Zhang Nai is Li Zicheng's favorite general and righteous son, so Li Zicheng was particularly distressed, and personally applied medicine to Zhang Nai, which moved Zhang Nai's tears and snot

Zhang Nai struggled to get up, "King Chuang, I'm fine, I'm going to lead the horse to fight again~"

Li Zicheng pushed Zhang Nai down on the marching bed, "You have a good rest, don't worry about the war, there are many fierce generals and warriors under your father-in-law, you can recuperate with peace of mind, there are still many battles for you to fight in the future." ”

Zhang Nai's limbs were already weak at this time because of excessive blood loss, so he could only lie on the marching bed, unwillingly and slowly close his eyes, so that his weak body could get a respite

Li Zicheng and a group of generals came to the front of the formation, only to see that the officers and soldiers had already set up two rejection horses in front of the front, "Why are the officers and soldiers building rejection horses so fast?" It's just a blink of an eye. Li Zicheng saw his cavalry flying with his own flesh and blood, and saw the cavalry hit his head and bleed before rejecting the horse

"Who will dare to fight in the next game?" Li Zicheng shouted loudly

"The last general is willing to go~" The one who spoke was Tian Jianxiu, the word Yufeng, the nickname Lock Sky Harrier, the benevolent temperament, and the style of a Confucian general

"No~ The officers and soldiers are under great artillery fire, and you are all infantry under your command, and you have suffered heavy casualties before you even get to the front." Li Zicheng shook his head and said to a big man beside him: "Liu Tichun, you lead the cavalry as the vanguard!" Then he said to Tian Jianxiu: "You lead the infantry to follow, bring more axes, and be sure to pull out those rejected horses." ”

"Deling~"

"Deling~"

At noon, the second round of attacks began

Liu Tichun's cavalry was still the vanguard, and Tian Jianxiu's infantry was the follow-up

Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom

呯~~呯~~呯呯~~呯~~呯

呯~~呯~~呯

呯~~呯~~呯

Song Youliang's cannons and muskets still played to their advantage unscrupulously, and countless deadly metals poured out of the muzzles and muzzles, tearing all the flesh and blood that came into their way.

From beginning to end, Sun Chuanting was always stationed at Ma Gaogang and watched the battle carefully. Seeing that the cavalry of the invading army launched a frontal charge again, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The strong cavalry must go around behind the enemy, and even attack in turn at night, so that the enemy army will be frightened and lose its ground." Our army took advantage of this opportunity to inflict a heavy blow on the enemy by taking advantage of its familiarity with the terrain and orientation. ”

Li Xin, who was on the side, also said: "But the three walls of the thieves have been tried and tested repeatedly, and they don't know that our army's firearms are powerful, and they are overconfident in the attack power of the horse army, not only did the horse team not send a detour behind the enemy and attack in turn at night, but instead sent the horse team to a wide front to carry out a frontal charge against our army, and in front of our army equipped with powerful firearms, this kind of frontal charge and self-destruction is undoubted. ”

"Nighttime? Behind? Song Youliang said with a smile: "I can't wait for this afternoon, the surging Suo River water will flood most of Li Chuang's camp, how can Li Chuang wait?" Besides, there is Guangwu Mountain in the north and Dazhou Mountain in the south of this battlefield, how does he get around? In addition to fighting hard and fighting hard, does Li Chuang have any other choice? ”

Li Xin smiled: "I'm afraid there is not even a bloody road, but a dead end, a road of no return." ”

The officers and soldiers concentrated artillery and muskets to bombard the cavalry, and sent crossbow teams to strengthen the attack, firing a salvo at the cavalry that was not afraid of death. Most of the horses of the cavalry who participated in the battle had never been exposed to the effect of the artillery explosion before, and they were frightened and ran back in horror, breaking the infantry in the rear, causing the formation to be chaotic and retreating.

"Don't retreat~Don't retreat~" Tian Jianxiu brandished a steel knife, killed seven or eight deserters in a row, and ordered the rear team of gunmen to form a dense horizontal line, and strode forward with guns together, which finally stopped the retreat

"Rush~~" In order to boost morale, Tian Jianxiu rode a war horse and gathered the infantry again to closely follow the footsteps of the cavalry

Speaking from the heart, the soldiers who broke into the army were brave enough, fierce enough, and not afraid of death enough, but none of these could make up for the huge gap in military technology. Most of the soldiers were still armed with spears, waist knives and bows and arrows, and they attacked the front line of officers and soldiers with their blood, whether they were infantry or cavalry, they were like their ancestors hundreds of years ago, shooting with arrows from afar, slashing and stabbing with knives and spears at close range. However, the assault of the invading cavalry was stopped by the dense rifle fire of the officers and infantry who fought on their horses. The tactics used by Song Youliang were designed by a soldier who had three to four infantrymen loaded muskets for him. Under the continuous fire of muskets, the cavalry of the invading army fell off their horses one after another, and the horses and human bodies became obstacles for the latecomers, so that the cavalry that followed the charge had to deliberately dodge these obstacles. At the same time, the cavalry of the invading army was also bombarded by solid bullets and shrapnel shells of the officers and soldiers, and suffered a large number of casualties. Frightened, a large number of horses went on a rampage, knocking their companions off their horses or trampling their own infantry.
