The gunners of those officers and soldiers, still drove pack horses, and marched towards the army, the effective range of the tiger squat cannon was very low, the farthest was only about 100 steps, although they also saw the artillery at the mercy of the thief army on the opposite side, but the military order was like a mountain, they had to force to the front of the Xingtian army to set up the tiger squat cannon, after all, they were also veterans of the Northern Army who had been in battle for a long time, and the two armies were fighting, and they still hadn't seen much of the scene of artillery and artillery bombardment, so they were not very worried about anything.

Besides, they have a large army to suppress the formation, although some of them are forward, but the other party is mostly an infantry army, and they don't have to worry about it, they will be copied by the thief cavalry, so with the sound of war drums, they still drove their horses forward steadily, and gradually began to approach the large array of the Xingtian Army, and they began to gather up, preparing to unload the tiger squat cannon on horseback step by step.

After the other two teams of cavalry came out of formation, they covered the accompanying gunners and began to wait for the attack.

At this time, Xiao Tianjian no longer has any nervousness, since the matter has come to this, then it is better to focus on the battle, whether it is Guan Ning Iron Cavalry or his Xingtian Army is powerful, in the end, he still has to see the real chapter under his hands, so he stared at the actions of the official army on the opposite side, and quickly made a judgment.

"Order Situ Liang's cavalry team to start from the left flank and cover the flank of the second battalion, and not let the officers and soldiers of this road attack the flank of the second battalion! Command the artillery team, sweep away these officers and soldiers' artillery teams for me! Xiao Tianjian's face was calm and began to give orders.

Seeing the hundreds of officers and soldiers in front of him riding out of the formation, walking towards his side, the two battalion generals in front of the army also quieted down, everyone took a few deep breaths, and quietly waited for the order, although the enemy cavalry had not yet begun to rush into battle, but this pressure was still coming, looking at the faces of the officers and soldiers on the other side, and even they could see the arrogance on the faces of the officers and soldiers, but for their Xingtian army, they were also rarely defeated, and they were not inferior to the Guan Ning army on the opposite side of the same pride. So at this time, all the soldiers not only did not show nervousness, but also became calm, and each of them also puffed up their chests, raised their chins high, and quietly began to wait for the impact of the other party.

"Start reloading!" Luo Li roared in the phalanx on the left.

At the same time, the three battalions of the right flank phalanx also began to give the same order, and then I saw the firecrackers in front of the phalanx collectively take a few steps forward, approaching the fence in front of the formation, only to hear the sound of hula, hundreds of firecrackers put the bird guns on their shoulders on the ground, and took out the paper shell ammunition from the leather bag on their waists neatly, and began to load it silently.

The Chinese army waved the command flag in the formation, and at the same time the bronze trumpet began to be blown by the trumpeter, and after Situ Liang, who was lined up behind the formation, listened, he grinned, turned his horse's head, and shouted at the soldiers of these cavalry teams behind him: "Grandma, boys, the general has an order, let us fight first!" This is the first battle of our cavalry team in Henan, don't fucking weaken our prestige, otherwise one day Brother Wang will come back, and Lao Tzu will have no face to see him! ”

The cavalrymen of the Xingtian Army immediately burst into laughter, and one by one immediately tightened the leather cords under the belly of their horses, and each finally checked the weapons on the saddle, and then turned over on their horses one after another, and with Situ Liang's long howl, they began to urge the mounts that sat down, and slowly accelerated towards the left flank.

And at this time, the three-pounder guns on the dirt slope behind them suddenly roared one after another, and the muzzles of each cannon instantly erupted into clusters of dazzling flames, and a huge roar suddenly resounded throughout the battlefield, and one after another blazing projectiles burst out of the barrels, and flew to the front of the two armies like lightning.

Those people who were standing behind the big array were startled by the sudden sound of cannons at this time, and some of them were so frightened that they sat on the ground, their eyes widened for a long time before they screamed one by one.

"My mother! This cannon is like thunder! It shook my heart and liver! ”

"Well played! Ha ha! Look, look, hit! Ha ha! Hit! ”

Everyone's eyes turned to the front of the two armies, only to see that in front of the two armies, around the gunners of the officers and soldiers who were busy preparing to unload the tiger squat cannon, more than a dozen projectiles fell to the ground one after another, raising clouds of smoke and dust, and two shells fell directly into the crowd.

That's not all, there are a few shells that simply and accurately fell in front of the officers and soldiers, after the shells landed, they immediately rebounded, continued to maintain a huge forward energy, and crashed into the crowd of officers and soldiers, and then looked at the officers and soldiers everywhere they passed, and suddenly like an invisible iron plow, ploughed a few bloody alleys in them, and everything that was in front of them was suddenly torn apart by them mercilessly, and the group of officers and soldiers let out a miserable scream, and the frightened pack horses neighed fiercely, Desperately breaking free from the reins of the driver, he scattered his legs and scurried in front of the formation.

This group of gunners of the Guanning Army never expected that the cannons of the Xingtian Army would be so far, so sharp, so accurate, they have never suffered such a loss, in the past, they calmly fired artillery at the thief army, seeing the thief army under their artillery fire, being torn apart and overturned, but today they became the first victims of this war, watching the robes and their pack horses turn into stumps and flesh around them, where can the gunners of the Guanning Army withstand this blow, Immediately there was chaos.

"Hurry up and reset! Reload! Aim for Lao Tzu and beat these grandchildren hard! What bullshit Guan Ningjun, they are counting in front of us! Who hit that shot? Why don't you hit your fucking crotch? Twenty steps off, did the gun commander grow up eating pig food? Or was it aimed at with piyan? Aim for Lao Tzu to fight! ......" An officer of an artillery team held a small red flag with an excited face, staring at the landing point of the shells on the battlefield with his eyes fixed, shouting orders while observing the landing point and swearing loudly.

The gunners moved nervously but in an orderly and swift manner, some were responsible for pushing the retreating gun mount forward, some immediately began to wipe the chamber with the shaft, and some waited next to the muzzle with the packed ammunition, just to fill the chamber again.

Xiao Tianjian sat on the horse, also watching the effect of this round of shelling, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, showing a slight smile, the gunners of the Xingtian Army have grown up thoroughly in such a long time of battle and strict training, most of the shells in this round of artillery bombardment are basically not too far from the target, and the accuracy of hitting has been greatly improved compared to before, so that the artillery can really provide effective fire suppression and support for the large array.

However, it was a pity that he was not able to bring more powerful six-pounder and eight-pounder guns this time, if these two kinds of artillery were pulled, the practical flowering shells would be more effective, and it was estimated that this round of shelling alone could basically break up the artillery team of this group of officers and soldiers, but even so, the artillery team of the Guanning Army was still completely chaotic, and the frightened pack horses ran everywhere, and the officers and soldiers were also in a mess in shock, at least it was impossible to become a threat in a short time.

Looking at the flashes of the artillery on the dirt slope behind the Xingtian Army's formation, as well as the smoke of gunpowder and the dust from the projectiles falling to the ground, and then looking at the bloody scene in his artillery team, Zu Kuan and his generals couldn't help but take a step back with their horses, originally in their opinion, even if the Xingtian Army had a few cannons, it could only attack and interfere with their cavalry charging formation, in this case, the threat to the cavalry was not great, but they didn't expect the thief army's artillery to hit so far, and it was so accurateIn the past, they used to use these tiger squatting cannons to bombard the thief army, but today their artillery team has become the first victim of this war.

"Grandma's! Let the artillery team withdraw! It doesn't seem like they're needed this time! Don't be a fucking shame here, beat the drum and give the order, let the two teams in front rush straight up! Zu Kuan roared angrily on horseback.

Suddenly, the drums and trumpets sounded in unison among the officers and soldiers, and after receiving such an order to retreat, the officers and men of the artillery corps, who had been beaten and coaxed, hurriedly gathered their pack horses with all their might, and pulled them to rush towards the rear of the large formation.

But before they could turn around and run back, the guns of the Xingtian Army on the dirt slope roared again, this time the cannonballs hit more accurately, almost half of the cannonballs fell in front of the artillery team, and then jumped like a scythe of death swept over the official artillery team, and suddenly more people and horses turned into flesh and blood in front of these cannonballs, so that the soldiers of the official artillery team shouted and neighed, and one by one they couldn't care about the robes that fell to the ground, and they played like a fatal saga and retreated towards the main formation.

And the other two teams of officers and cavalry were ordered at the same time, they urged the war horses with the surprise of the thief's artillery, and roared to cheer for themselves, although the Xingtian Army just now bombarded the army, so that their artillery team did not deploy, suffered a small setback, but after all, this group of Guanning army is still a battle-hardened veteran, not comparable to ordinary officers and soldiers, once ordered to move forward, they still showed their courage, one after another urged the horse forward, gradually accelerated, and raised pieces of dust behind them, Like a storm, it began to split into two ways and rolled towards the Xingtian Army.

At the same time, Situ Liang also led his cavalry team to accelerate on the left flank, and also slammed into the cavalry of the official army led by Zu Kui without hesitation.
