Xiao Tianjian also turned his horse back to the front of the Xingtian Army, they just spoke very loudly, and the generals in front of the army basically heard their conversation clearly, and several subordinate generals saw Xiao Tianjian coming back, so they all smiled and said to Xiao Tianjian: "The general scolded so happily!" This is estimated to make Maniac He even crazier! ”

After seeing the little flag officer come back from the west bank of the river, Lu Pin was very happy in his heart, it seems that this persuasion did not play a role, so the next thing is to fight, after all, they have been running around for several days, basically not fighting with the mutant army, and this battle should obviously not be difficult to deal with, if he does a good job, cut off more of the heads of these thief army, then he can be promoted again!

Therefore, for the Xingtian Army to express its unwillingness to surrender, nor willing to let go of the west bank of the big stone bridge, not only was he not angry, but he was a little happy, so he immediately set up a formation, and after a drum sounded in the army behind them, Lu Pin raised his waist sword high in his team and shouted: "Brothers! Kill the thief! ”

The four hundred soldiers under his command immediately followed him and roared: "Kill the thief ......" Before the roar fell, they rushed towards the big stone bridge with a shout.

Seeing that a group of officers and soldiers had begun to rush towards the big stone bridge, the soldiers in front of them began to stir up a little again, and a group of people in the rear of the officers and soldiers also began to move various types of artillery in front of the formation, approaching the river bank, obviously to use artillery to teach the Xingtian Army a lesson, and by the way, help Lu Pin's team to disperse the Xingtian Army.

Therefore, the three hundred soldiers who had not been in battle much began to panic a little when they saw the danger approaching.

Xiao Tianjian bowed his head and gave an order to a personal guard beside him, and the personal guard immediately quickly left the position of the Chinese army and ran to the mound where Huang Shengqiang's artillery team was hiding.

Huang Shengqiang showed his head in the mound, and he was also nervously observing the opposite bank, while turning his head to the artillerymen behind him and ordering: "Start loading, ready to push our guys up!" ”

That Xiao Tianjian's personal soldier rushed to the back of the mound quickly, and shouted to Huang Shengqiang: "The general has an order, order the artillery team to concentrate the firepower of the Furlong machine gun, and hit the enemy's artillery first. If you overturn the cannon of the madman first, it will be your success! ”

Huang Shengqiang turned his head and nodded, "Order!" Go back and tell the general, we won't let the general down! Please take a look, General! ”

Immediately after that, he shouted to his gunners behind him: "Load up the solid shells, push all the furlong cannons up for me, and start aiming!" ”

Immediately, dozens of gunners worked together to push their five Furlong cannons up the mound, just in the shallow pit dug out, not exposing all the guns, but only exposing the muzzles of the guns outside the improvised fortifications.

"Three hundred paces! Aim! Huang Shengqiang stood on the left side of these Furlong cannons, showing his head and carefully watching the movements of the officers and soldiers on the other side, although the long-range range of the Furlong cannons they now have can reach about 500 steps, but the premise is that the cannon body should be raised to a forty-five degree angle, such an angle and distance, so that the accuracy and power of these Furlong cannons are reduced a lot, and because of the instability of black powder, it is sometimes difficult to hit the cannonballs so far, so under normal circumstances, Three hundred steps is already considered the farthest distance, and if it is any farther, it will be difficult to control the landing point of the shell.

Therefore, based on his understanding of the performance of these cannons and his experience in daily use, Huang Shengqiang set the position of these Furlong cannons at a distance of 300 steps, which happened to be the position where the other party must place the artillery.

Several gunners who were in charge of aiming immediately began to operate the guns, constantly adjusting the elevation angle, moving the gun mounts, and after a while, they shouted: "Three hundred steps to the gun, over!" ”

"Has the Tiger Squat Cannon been reloaded?" Huang Shengqiang turned his head again and asked a group of subordinates in charge of the tiger squat cannon under the mound.

"The Yellow Whistle General has already been loaded! ......" the artillery commanders quickly replied.

"Good! Stay down there first, and don't show your head! Listen to the general's order, and then raise the cannon again! Huang Shengqiang ordered them.

"Yes......" several artillery commanders replied.

Xiao Tianjian rode steadily on horseback, did not take off the big gun, still holding his horsewhip, quietly looking at the officers and soldiers who rushed over on the opposite bank, which had about 400 people.

"General! It's time to let the guys in the back get on! Luo Limo asked Xiao Tianjian with his fists.

"No hurry! Let them go to the bridge! Put them on the bridge! Xiao Tianjian said to Luo Li as calmly as possible.

Challenging an officer army whose strength far exceeds them like today is also quite stressful for Xiao Tianjian, but he believes that his subordinates, after such a long time of training, should be able to withstand several attacks from the officers and soldiers, and what he has to do now is to confuse the officers and troops on the opposite side as much as possible, so that they feel that the Xingtian Army is just a group of rabble, and the enemy is rash, so that he can have the opportunity to give the other party a blow.

The position of the Xingtian army's formation is only about fifty or sixty steps away from the west side of the stone bridge, so close to the distance, as long as the officers and soldiers rush across the stone bridge, they can kill in front of them in a blink of an eye, listening to the rumbling war drums from the large array of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, as well as the earth-shattering shouts of killing, and the hundreds of officers and soldiers who rushed over to kill closer and closer, and gradually stood in front of the three hundred soldiers, finally a little unbearable.

Some of the soldiers couldn't help but their calves began to tremble a little, and even the knives and guns in their hands began to tremble with their trembling, seeing that the officers and soldiers were only fifty or sixty steps away from the east of the bridge, Xiao Tianjian still did not give an order to let them withdraw, and couldn't help but make these soldiers have a thought, could their generals really let their troops go into battle first to meet these wolf-like officers and soldiers this time? So some people really couldn't help it, and wanted to turn their heads to see what Xiao Tianjian was doing behind them.

A general standing among the soldiers held a short stick, and the stick hit the shoulder of a soldier who turned his head to look at Xiao Tianjian, and yelled at him: "Don't look back!" Dare to go back and break your neck again! Stand firm for me! Even if you're just soldiers, don't forget that we're also a member of the Xingtian Army, don't fucking lose our people from the Xingtian Army! We have a cheap life, it is the general who has allowed us to live until now, I'm afraid of a bird! It's a big deal to go up and fight with them! Killing one is enough, killing two and earning one! Steady! ”

The general roared, making the soldiers somewhat stable again, so many people began to take deep breaths, clenched the handle of the gun in their hands vigorously, and tensed their bodies.

Xiao Tianjian glanced at the general in the army with satisfaction, and asked with a relaxed smile on his face, "What is this person's name?" Not bad! After this battle, he was transferred to the warband! ”

The sentry of the baggage team is named Zhang Chao, and he is also one of Xiao Tianjian's first subordinates to recruit, because when attacking Fanjiabao, he broke his left arm, and after he was rescued, because of the lack of an arm, Xiao Tianjian transferred him to the baggage team as an officer, and he is also a dare to fight. Zhang Chao thanked the general on his behalf! ”

As he spoke, the group of officers and soldiers had already approached the east of the bridge, Xiao Tianjian saw that in front of this group of officers and soldiers were thirty sword players, holding heavy shields, opening the way in front of the team, covering the soldiers behind, and followed by dozens of officers and soldiers with three-eyed guns and dozens of archers, behind them were some spearmen and a small number of soldiers with bird guns, they lined up in a dense formation, at a speed that was not too fast, step by step towards the stone bridge, constantly shouting "kill thieves ......" to strengthen their might.

Although Xiao Tianjian has always despised the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but for the performance of the officers and soldiers who came over by He Renlong, there is still some respect, although this group of officers and soldiers clearly looked down on their Xingtian army, but when they rushed over, they did not mess up the formation because of this, but formed a tight array, advancing forward step by step, which shows that the officers and soldiers under the command of He Renlong are indeed much more diligent than the general guards in terms of drills, so that his subordinates are on the march, has always been able to maintain the formation, so it seems that the leader of this army of officers and soldiers is not a stupid person, and he has always kept a cool head, so it may be a little difficult to break them up at once.

Although the stone bridge on the Wanzi River is called the big stone bridge, it is really not big, and the bridge deck is roughly only less than one zhang wide, and the length is thirty or forty steps, which can only accommodate a large car to pass through one line, and if people pass side by side, it can only accommodate five or six people at most to travel side by side, so when this group of officers and soldiers arrived at the east of the bridge, they had to stop and readjust the formation.

After a while, the officers and soldiers took the lead with swords and players, walked onto the stone bridge, and pressed towards the west of the bridge step by step, but Xiao Tianjian still did not order the soldiers to withdraw, but looked at the distance on the opposite bank.

At this time, the artillery officers and soldiers under the command of He Renlong had already pushed the artillery, approaching the distance of 200 paces on the east bank, and began to stop the gun carriages, busy and began to load those guns.

He turned his head to look at the location of Huang Shengqiang's artillery team again, only to see a small green flag waving on Huang Shengqiang's side, Xiao Tianjian understood that they were ready!

"Order Huang Shengqiang to fire!" Xiao Tianjian swung his horsewhip at the artillery array of the officers and soldiers on the opposite bank, and shouted the order.
