I only heard a burst of ping-pong bangs sounding almost instantly, giving people the illusion that it was only one sound, but a row of gunpowder smoke erupted in front of the formation.

Suddenly the seven or eight officers and soldiers who rushed to the front were like hitting an invisible wall, and they screamed together and fell to the ground, some of the unlucky people were hit by two or three projectiles almost at the same time, and the round projectiles could not penetrate their bodies at all, but all the energy carried by the bullets was transferred to them, even if they were wearing armor, they could not prevent the projectiles from penetrating, and some of them almost flew upside down and hit the crowd behind. As a result, the officers and soldiers who had just rushed across the bridgehead did not have time to form a formation, and the formation was once again disrupted.

"The second row has it, and the guns are flat and aimed...... Put! The second platoon will immediately shout and give the order as soon as they see the first platoon of musketeers firing their guns. And the first shot of the gun has no one to check their shooting effect, because the Xingtian Army has formulated strict rules, after the gun is fired, the gun must not check the shooting effect, must immediately start to reload, the reason is very simple, after the black powder is burned, there will be a large amount of gunpowder smoke spew, after the fire gunner fires, the front will be filled with gunsmoke, and it is impossible to see the affairs in front of him clearly, rather than wasting time waiting for the gunpowder smoke to dissipate, it is better to use this time to step up reloading, As soon as the gunfire fell, they immediately brought the medicine pool at the back end of the bird gun to their mouths, vigorously blew off the medicine residue in the medicine pool, and then pestled the bird gun on the ground, began to take out the packaged fixed ammunition, bit the plug of the bamboo tube, and immediately poured the gunpowder and projectiles into the chamber of the gun, and then pulled out the cane under the gun barrel, inserted the gun tube, and tamped the ammunition .......

The second-row firecrackers also lowered the bird's guns they were carrying on their shoulders...... Another cloud of gunsmoke rose up, and dozens of projectiles flew out of the mouth again......

After the three rows of bird guns were let go, the dirt slope blocking the bridgehead was already filled with gunpowder smoke from the fire guns, and it was almost impossible to see the position of the fire guns, but the bridgehead had already become like hell after the baptism of three rounds of bird guns, and the first batch of twenty or thirty officers and soldiers who rushed through the bridgehead all fell into a pool of blood under the baptism of such a dense rain of bullets.

The damage caused by the projectile of the bird gun is far more difficult to treat than the ordinary arrow wound or even the knife wound, after being hit into the flesh by the projectile, there will be some cloth fibers of the clothes are also brought into the wound, and a large number of bacteria and residual particles of gunpowder smoke will also be brought into the wound, plus the wound is an open laceration, and even the bone will be broken, and then there is the current backward medical method, it is difficult for people who are generally shot to survive, even if they are only hit in the arms and legs, the outcome is often the same.

The officers and soldiers who were still excited just now were a little frightened and stupid, they didn't expect the firepower of this pole to be so fierce, and the dense rain of bullets blocked the bridge, and knocked the soldiers who rushed across the bridge to the ground one by one, and couldn't help but be so frightened that some officers and soldiers stopped their steps, looking at the robes lying in front of them, some of them were just injured but not dead, and they were desperately crying, so frightened that the people behind them were desperately carrying the people behind them, and they didn't dare to rush forward again.

"Shoot the arrows!" Luo Li held a hard bow with five buckets, twisted his waist and opened his arms, and the bow body of the step bow in his hand creaked, and the bow body opened round, and while releasing the bowstring of his right hand, he also roared loudly.

Nearly a hundred archers pulled out the bowstring together, pointed the sharp arrow in the air in front of them, and when they heard Luo Li's roar, they immediately released the bowstring together.

More than 100 carved arrows rose into the air at the same time, crossed arcs in the sky, floated out like a dark cloud, quickly floated to the top of the stone bridge, and then fell with a sound like a grim smile.

The archers were behind the musketeers, so they did not take the direct aim of the fire, but the way of throwing the arrows out, so as to increase the range of the bow and arrows, so that they immediately covered the heads of the densely packed officers and soldiers crowded on the stone bridge, although this could not guarantee the accuracy, but for the half-way archers of the Xingtian Army, Xiao Tianjian did not expect their archery skills to be superb, and this way of firing with arrow rain coverage may be their best way, Numbers compensated for their lack of accuracy, and there was no better way to deal with such a dense enemy army.

One after another, sharp arrows fell, stuck heavily in the crowd, nailed to the human body, and made a tooth-barring sound, and many officers and soldiers on the bridge let out terrible screams, covering the wounds of the arrows and staggering on the ground.

Lu Pin's eyes widened, he really couldn't believe that the enemy army in front of him was the rabble they saw just now, this was only a few breaths, not a single face counted, the officers and soldiers under his command suffered dozens of casualties, such a result was really unacceptable to him, seeing that the soldiers under his command who had followed him from birth to death for several years fell one by one in a pool of blood, Lu Pin suddenly let out a roar like a beast.

He shoved away one of his men who was in the way, roared over the body of one of his men who had fallen on the bridge, and strode forward.

"Crossbowmen release arrows! Why are you still stunned, waiting for death? He kicked a bow-wielding soldier on the back of his feet, stumbling him to the ground, and roared with rage.

The officers and soldiers who were stunned for a while then remembered that the guys in their hands were not eating dry food, so they opened their bows on the bridge one after another, and began to shoot arrows to counterattack, and one by one sharp arrows immediately rose from the officers and soldiers and rushed straight to the troops of the Xingtian Army who were blocking the bridge.

A firecracker standing in the front row had just finished loading, and once again, in the roar of the left-hand general, he laid the bird's gun flat on his shoulder, and before he could aim at the target, a sharp arrow came to his face, and without giving him the slightest chance to react, it hit him in the face, and he fell down on his back with a scream, and the bird's gun was also thrown to the ground.

Some of the archers in the official army are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and their archery skills are very accurate, although they hurriedly fired arrows to return fire, they immediately caused a lot of damage to the front row of the Xingtian Army, at least three or four firecrackers were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, and some of the firecrackers failed to break through the armor on their bodies after the arrows in their hands, but they were also frightened.

"Who put the gun? Get out of the queue and step back! The general immediately shouted, and the three firecrackers hurried out of the line and retreated to the back to reload, waiting for them after this battle, they must have to be beaten with sticks.

The few musketeers on the ground had no one to pay attention to them for the time being, and the musketeers who had just let go of a round began to fire at the bridge again in rows.

For a time, the west of the bridge was filled with gunsmoke, and the bows and arrows of both sides were staggered in the air, and the whistling sound that pierced the air filled the space at the head of the bridge, and the officers and soldiers of Lu Pin's department on the bridge fell on the bridge in rows like cutting rice, and they were never able to rush across the stone bridge and kill in front of the Xingtian army.

He Renlong looked at the direction of the bridgehead in a daze, his big mouth was slightly open and he didn't say a word for a long time, just looking at the battle situation on the west bank of the stone bridge, the horsewhip slipped from his hand to the ground unconsciously.

Is this really the mutant army that blocked the bridgehead just now? Why are they so powerful all of a sudden? For a while, He Renlong felt that his brain was a little bad, and he stared blankly at the battlefield filled with gunpowder hundreds of steps in front of him.

It's not that he doesn't have cannons, and his cannons are also hitting at this time, but their cannonballs are all concentrated on the mound on the southwest side of the bridge according to He Renlong's instructions just now, and the earth and rocks on the mound are flying, while the cannons of the thieves on the mound on the opposite bank have never been dumbfounded, and they are still firing in the direction of the east of the river.

The shells of both sides flew in the air, and the shells of the thief army fell more and more accurately in the artillery array of the official army, only for a while, the cannon under the command of He Renlong was overturned two or three, and the gunners suffered heavy losses, and were carried down more than 20 in succession.

"Don't shoot at the thieves' artillery anymore! Turn the muzzle of the cannon quickly and blast those thieves apart! Let Lu Pin quickly attack the bridge! After a while, He Renlong finally realized that something was wrong, his cannon was supposed to provide cover for Lu Pin, but he was attracted by the artillery of the thief army, and Lu Pin's group of officers and soldiers were pressed by the enemy on the bridge deck, and they were never able to rush across the stone bridge, He Renlong was going crazy at this time.

However, he also realized that today he was in the big hands of this Xingtian Army, and this Xingtian Army was not a rabble at all, otherwise it would be impossible for them to defeat the official army twice in a row in Huangyang, and today they made it clear that they hid their strength at the beginning, which caused him to underestimate his opponent, so that as soon as he fought, he suffered a big loss.

At this time, the mood of He Renlong was very different from that of the Xingtian Army, Xiao Tianjian took the lead in standing behind the formation, watching the battle situation in front of him, including Xiao Tianjian, everyone showed joy, Yan Chongxi and others, who had not yet gone into battle, applauded even more, laughing loudly for the musketeers and archers who were slaughtering the officers and soldiers on the bridge.

Lu Pin mobilized his sword players on the bridge, raised the rattan shield and rushed several times, but in addition to paying a greater price, he still failed to cross the stone bridge, so he was blocked on the stone bridge, and batch after batch of thieves who were blocked the stone bridge were overturned on the stone bridge deck.

Lu Pin is so angry! Originally, he rushed to lead the troops to ask for a bargain, and after making a good contribution, he waited for the promotion to make a fortune, but he didn't want to get a cheap one, not to mention, his subordinate generals suffered heavy losses, and seeing his men fall one after another, he really couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed a big shield, protected it in front of him, and shouted: "Brothers follow Lao Tzu and rush over!" If it goes on like this, everyone can't please it! Kill! ”

After the call, he rushed forward in the lead, and the dozen or so soldiers who were protecting him did not dare to slack off, and immediately followed the corpse under his feet, and stumbled to the bridge again.

"Nine-headed bird! Is it loaded? Xiao Tianjian saw that another group of officers and soldiers were brazenly rushing towards the west of the bridge, led by an obviously senior general in the officer army, so he immediately shouted and asked those men who were operating and raising guns in the battle.

One of the chiefs immediately replied loudly: "General Qiyu, it's all loaded!" ”

"Beat these officers and soldiers back for me!" Xiao Tianjian pointed his horsewhip at the stone bridge and shouted loudly to the chief.

The five-pole gun was once again set up on the tripod, and only a few muffled bangs were heard, and the five-shot gun began to fire again, and swept towards the end of the bridge again from the rain of bullets.

Lu Pin led dozens of subordinates to charge the battle in person, just stepped out of the stone bridge, only to feel the big shield in his hand suddenly shocked, his chest as if he had been kicked heavily, he slammed it, looked down, and saw that there were three fist-like holes on the big shield in his hand, and looked towards his chest, and saw that there was also a hole in the armor on his right chest, and blood was gushing out of the wound, he suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, staggered a few steps, and stabilized his body on the ground with a waist knife.

"Ahem...... cough cough out of his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he looked up at the dirt slope in front of him, and scolded in his mouth: "it! It's terrible......" As soon as the words fell, he fell headlong.

Several of his own soldiers hurriedly surrounded him with shields, set him up, and immediately retreated......
