"General, the enemy army is fierce, are we temporarily avoiding the edge??"

Tian Jianxiu's side, the only one of his strategists, I don't know which village was a talent who was coerced by them, and said to Tian Jianxiu anxiously.

"Don't worry, this is just getting started, and the general will command tens of thousands of troops, will he be afraid of them."

Tian Jianxiu is young and vigorous, and now that the army is expanding rapidly, the strength of his subordinates has increased by thousands in a few days, and he replied with a proud expression.

"Pass on the general's order, the whole army of the headquarters will be dispatched, and all the enemies who will be attacked in the future will be driven and killed!!"

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel, Tian Mixiu has more than 20,000 soldiers in his headquarters, which is the reason for his confidence in the strength of his army, but he has never considered the gap between the quality of soldiers on both sides of the enemy, and many times the war is not based on the scale between you and me, but on its real strength.

The early 20,000-strong Tianbe army, after receiving the order of the generals of the headquarters, just reorganized a barely usable military formation, it took the efforts of the middle and low-level peasant army generals, and the chaotic military formation was vaguely visible before the 3,000 Hongtang soldiers were killed at their station.

"Kill !!"

The gate of the garrison was wide open, and the peasant army could be said to have no tactics, and the leaders in the front gave an order, and the peasant soldiers in the back carried a variety of weapons such as spears, guillotines, axes, and even kitchen knives and hoes, and swarmed towards the vanguard army of Hongtang.

It was not easy to set up a battle formation, but it also came to naught at the same time, and the peasant soldiers of each phalanx were mixed together, only knowing that they were buried in their heads and charging forward, but they did not know that there were other actions.

"Musketeers ready, first row aiming!!"

After years of painstaking development, the armed forces under the command of Hongmen have basically completed the transition from cold weapons to hot weapons, and now the 3,000 Hongtang vanguard troops, which are the first to arrive at the headquarters of Tamihide, are basically armed with a flintlock musket, and under the orders of the commander, they are carrying out tactical movements in an orderly manner.

Although it is inevitable that many soldiers are a little nervous by the scene of the charge of a large group of peasant soldiers in Wuyangyang in front of them, but the actions such as loading and aiming in their hands have long been skillful in one go, without the slightest delay.

"Fire!!"

"Bang! Bang bang bang! ”

The crisp sound of muskets, accompanied by puffs of gray smoke and the fall of a group of peasant soldiers on the opposite side, fired the first shot of the battle.

"The second row is forward, the third row is ready!!"

Under the commander's command, the first row of Hongtang soldiers who had just finished shooting retreated to the rear, and then they would have to complete the cleaning and loading of the rifles in a maximum of one and a half minutes and a half, so as to prepare for the next shot.

"Bang bang bang!! Bang bang! ”

As if there was no end to this gunfire, the human wall built by the 3,000 soldiers of Hongtang seemed to be only a few tens of zhang away, but it was like a moat between the enemy and me, making it difficult for the peasant rebel army.

Rows of peasant soldiers at the front, like the rice and wheat swept by the wind, fell to the ground, struggling, howling, or simply turning into a silent corpse.

Gradually, the peasant soldiers began to stop their tracks, and some of the frightened ones even simply turned around and ran wildly towards the way they came.

This is the biggest weakness of the peasant army, which has no formal military training and no strong will as a support, and when fighting in general, most of them rely on their strength in numbers, and it is their forte to strike more and fight less.

However, when facing a powerful enemy, or like now, even the opponent can't get close, and can only watch the miserable situation of his companions falling one by one, the pseudo-warriors who were originally just a group of peasants, the courage to kill the enemy in their hearts will eventually be consumed, and then cowardice and cowardice possess the body, and it has become the norm for them to turn around and flee the night.

"The overseer team is on me, if anyone dares to take a step back, military law will serve!!"

Seeing that the actual casualties of his own large army were only two or three thousand, and the fleeing soldiers had already begun to appear, Tian Jianxiu's whole face became very ugly, although he himself saw clearly the attack methods of the strong enemy on the battlefield on the opposite side, and his heart was extremely shocked, but he was also extremely angry about the incompetence of his soldiers.

No matter how strong the enemy is, he only has only two or three thousand people, but his own army has a large force of nearly 20,000, how can he be defeated by this enemy!

Tian Jianxiu is also reckless, even if he has experienced a lot of military career over the years, but he still has a wrong idea in his heart that more people can win, and now the first offensive was defeated by the Hongtang army.

"Meng Mazi, later, you will take two thousand brothers to personally go up to suppress the formation, and take down this group of enemies for me in one go!"

After all, after staying in the army for a long time, Tian Jianxiu still knows a thing or two about the weakness of the musketeers, that is, they are not good at close combat, if their team can get within five steps of the enemy team, then this group of enemies will become their own bag!

With this point of view, after Tian Jianxiu failed in the first charge, he quickly rearranged and sent his henchman Meng Mazi out, so that he would lead people to charge into battle and take down this group of self-righteous strong enemies.

The second wave of the charge soon unfolded, with Meng Mazi, two thousand peasant soldiers who were not afraid of death, joined and led the peasant army to charge, the peasant army's initial offensive seemed to be really like a tiger, and the peasant army let out all kinds of chaotic shouts from its mouth, and pressed towards the Hongtang army.

It's the same scene again, showing between the enemy and us, with Meng Mazi's two thousand elites joining, and behind the addition of the Governor Clan, this time the peasant army and other charges are much more fierce and durable than the first charge before.

However, the result was cruel, and the heroic fighting of the peasant army was only a dozen zhang closer to the Hongtang army formation.

Seeing that the soldiers at the forefront were about to approach the situation of less than a few feet of Hongtang soldiers, they only heard an order from the commander of Hongtang: "Grenade preparation, throw!" ”

From behind the first row of Hongtang musketeers, hundreds of long-handled grenades crossed the sky and landed on the charge of the peasant army more than ten zhang away.

When the smoke and dust were blown away by the wind, the originally flat land was as if it had been plowed over again, and the entire soil layer was turned over.
