Xiong Wencan looked at Li Zhi, then turned to look at Li Zhi's army of firearms, and asked, "Is the guerrilla general sure that he will defeat the thieves in one fell swoop?" ”

Li Zhi arched his hand and said: "It only takes a quarter of an hour for the lower officials to defeat the thief." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

When Xiong Wencan heard Li Zhi's words, his face turned red with excitement, and he said loudly: "Then the general will quickly kill the enemy!" ”

Li Zhi bowed to Xiong Wencan, then rode quickly to the formation of the tiger master, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, follow me to kill the thief!" ”

The trumpeter beside Li Zhi blew the horn, and the soldiers of the 8,000 Tiger Division shouted "Wan Sheng" in the sound of the horn and went out with Li Zhi to fight. The chain mail on the cavalry was shining, more than 7,000 muskets were held in front of the soldiers, and the Hongyi cannon artillery cart moved quickly under the traction of six military horses. As soon as Li Zhi's army moved, Xiong Wencan couldn't stop nodding his head, admiring Li Zhi's troops for really having the true character of a strong army.

The equipment of this army is too well-equipped, it is the equipment of the Qi family army back then, but that's it, right?

Xiong Wencan looked at Li Zhi's soldiers and horses, and suddenly felt that if Li Zhi's soldiers and horses helped, his own suppression might be able to go smoothly. The so-called appeasement is a policy that does not need to be taken out until the last step.

Xiong Wencan stroked his beard, and suddenly felt that his position as the prime minister of the six provinces might not be bad.

Under the leadership of the cavalry of the 1,500 Xuan Feng Regiment, the soldiers of the 8,000 Tiger Ben Division bypassed the stalemate frontal battlefield and went around to the flank and rear of the southern flank of Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers.

Two thousand thieves and five thousand soldiers were still fighting, but they saw Li Zhi's soldiers and horses coming.

Zhang Xianzhong's army ordered the banner to be unfurled, and 2,000 Xiao horsemen abandoned the soldiers and horses of Lu 0zhou and the Dian army, and pounced on Li Zhi's troops.

The two thousand horsemen are the elite of the thief army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, and they are all very brave. These horsemen were either holding horned bows or long-handled weapons, riding high-headed war horses, and when they ran together, they raised smoke and dust, and the momentum was violent, as if they were going to crush Li Zhi's soldiers and horses at one time.

If it is a weak guard, I am afraid that in the face of these two thousand horsemen, I will fall behind, and there is a risk of collapse if I am not careful. If the ordinary 8,000 Ming battalion soldiers can withstand the charging formation of these elite horsemen, it would be good to be able to finally repel them.

However, Li Zhi's soldiers and horses were not ordinary Ming battalion soldiers.

Li Zhizhong's military command flag waved, the cavalry of the Xuanfeng Regiment retreated to the two wings, eighty six-pounder guns were unloaded from the artillery carriages, and the five hundred old artillerymen of the Xuanfeng Regiment quickly loaded the guns with gunpowder shotguns.

At a distance of three hundred meters, two hundred meters, the cavalry were overjoyed when they saw the cavalry of the Xuanfeng Regiment retreating. There was no obstacle in front of them, and the horsemen scattered in all directions and rushed towards the Tiger Division's foot soldiers, intending to use the impact of the cavalry to inflict heavy damage on this army of 8,000 officers and soldiers.

However, they did not know the power of field artillery.

At a distance of a hundred meters, eighty six-pounder guns opened fire. Tongues of fire erupted from the barrels, and huge smoke erupted, covering the entire front of the battlefield like a barrage of 8,000 shotguns.

Shot at a distance of 100 meters, a six-pounder cannon can cover an area twenty meters in front of the formation, turning the area into a real death zone.

A thief with a horned bow was about to rush into fifty paces to shoot an arrow. He is a good horse archer, and he was originally an official soldier in He0nan, but because he couldn't get military salaries, he simply joined the thieves. After he joined the thief army, he was accepted as a horseman by Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son Zhang Kewang, who ate and drank spicy food on weekdays, and he had a share in the women and money he had robbed. In each battle, he charged with a bow and shot many officers and soldiers.

He rushed to the front of the line at this time, and in an instant, he was pierced through his body by three shotgun projectiles, which stirred up three huge blood flowers on his body. Where can the inlaid iron armor stop the three shotgun projectiles? Three projectiles pierced the rider's body from front to back, smashing all of his internal organs into pulp.

He screamed without uttering a single scream, and then lost his life and fell under the horse.

Three projectiles pierced his body and shot at another rider behind him, killing the second rider behind him before stopping.

A Xiaocai chief is an officer in Xiaocai, he is originally from Shaanxi, and he is Zhang Xianzhong's hometown. His family was so poor that he couldn't open the pot at that time, but the government also urged him to hand over the grain from other people's fields, and gave him no way to live. He followed Zhang Xianzhong in the sixth year of Chongzhen, and fought with Zhang Xianzhong for four years, because he was promoted to the commander of the cavalry because of his bravery and good fighting, and he didn't know how many times he had experienced tough battles with the official army.

At this time, he was brandishing his saber and charging into battle, but was suddenly hit in the head by a projectile. In an instant, half of the skull was blown away by the projectile, and blood sprayed into the air along with the brain.

The horse under his crotch was also shot with him, and his body was thrown to the ground with a heavy blow.

Only a scream and the wailing of horses were heard at the same time, and more than 600 rogue horsemen who had survived the battle fell in a pool of blood in an instant. These tragic horsemen were all the horsemen who rushed to the front row, and often the people and horses were shot and fell down at the same time, falling in front of the other horsemen like an obstacle, and tripping over more than 40 horsemen who had no time to brake.

Where did the rest of the horsemen still have the courage to rush into battle, and one by one they stopped in front of the corpses of their comrades in front of them with pale faces, and hesitated for a few seconds.

Just a few seconds cost them their lives.

The swan of the Chinese army in the Tiger Division roared and gave the order to fire a salvo. Two thousand Mini rifles opened fire on the more than 1,300 horsemen who were stationary in front of the corpses of the soldiers and horses. Attacking stationary targets at a distance of 100 meters, this is like training on a shooting range for the soldiers of the Tiger Division, and the hit rate is amazing.

Except for those horsemen in the back row who were stopped by the cavalry in the front row, almost all the horsemen in the front row were shot.

A cavalry commander was a bandit who had just joined Zhang Xianzhong's team, and he joined the thief camp with seventeen of his subordinates and was appointed as the commander of the cavalry. Five of his original seventeen men were organized as foot soldiers and seven as horse soldiers, and he now commanded five of the strongest men who were organized as horsemen. He thought that he would follow Zhang Xianzhong to drink wine and eat meat from now on, but he didn't expect to die at gunpoint of the official army so soon.

A bullet pierced his iron armor from his left chest and into his heart, turning this vital organ into a mass of flesh.

He fell under his horse with a scream, and his body shook a little and could no longer move.

A shot horseman is an old thief who has joined the team of the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong for many years. He has followed Zhang Xianzhong as a thief since Chongzhen for five years, and he doesn't know how many towns and towns he has robbed, how many good people he has killed, and how many girls he has ruined. With years of conquest, he went from a foot soldier to a horse army, and then to a horseman. In his eyes, the officers and soldiers are useless wretched, who neither know how to enjoy nor fight. Only by following the eight kings to loot everywhere is a good life for a hero.

He didn't expect that his dirty life would end in this Anqing Mansion. A Mini bullet shot through his abdomen and into his body, turning his intestines and right kidney into a pulp. He spurted a mouthful of blood from his horse, bent down little by little, and finally collapsed under the horse.

One thousand and one hundred horsemen were killed by a conical bullet in an instant. The iron armor could not stop the Minnie rifle from a hundred meters away, and the power of the granular black powder was amazing, and those armor pieces only made the conical lead bullet rotate more irregularly when it penetrated into the body, increasing the destructive power of the lead bullet.
