As soon as a dozen three-pounder guns in Luoyang began to enter the firing range, the officers in command shouted loudly.

The whistling solid cannonballs fell one after another, some directly in the crowd of hedgehogs gathered, and some landed in front of the shield wall like a wall, and then bounced up and continued to fly forward, making a hole in the shield wall, and making a bloody alley in the crowd.

With such a dense formation, there was no better target than this situation, and the gunners of the artillery team, one by one, threw off their padded jackets and got busy around their beloved guns.

Clearing, resetting, loading, aiming...... A series of movements are carried out almost according to the standard drill code, although tense but methodical, with volleys again and again, swinging the scythe of death and reaping life.

And the Luoyang soldiers, under such shelling, trembled one by one, just begging for God's blessing, don't let them touch these hot shells, but the god of luck seems to have gone home and slept at this time, and there is no time to take care of them, almost every shell, to harvest one or several lives.

The wounded soldier lay in a pool of blood, exerting all his strength, and let out an inhuman scream, and one by one the mutilated corpses fell on their path.

Before they could get within a hundred steps of the Xingtian Army, some of the soldiers who were scared to pee their pants began to break away from the formation one after another, crying and fleeing towards the back with infinite fear.

Liu Dapan stared at the miserable situation in front of him, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his head, they didn't know, it turned out that in their opinion, the powerful but clumsy artillery, today in the hands of the thief army, but it was made so fast, the thief army didn't know how to do it, it could be loaded at such a fast speed, and at the same time it could be aimed so accurately, almost every shell, did not deviate from the formation of the official army, he was even a little secretly glad that he did not personally lead his troops forward today, but stayed behind to supervise the battle, otherwise, he didn't know if he was already like those soldiers at this time, falling in a pool of blood.

Seeing that some of the soldiers had begun to flee back, he turned his head and peeked at Zu Kuan under the banner of the Chinese army behind him, who was scanning him with cold eyes, so he gritted his teeth, pulled out the waist knife from his waist, and yelled at the soldiers who were fleeing back: "Go back to Lao Tzu!" If anyone dares to come, they will blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and being ruthless! Someone's coming! Stop them and give me arrows!! ”

Liu Dapan's more than 30 family members agreed loudly at this time, opened a row behind the formation, and opened their bows one by one, and squeaked open the bowstring after putting on the arrows.

"Don't let go of the arrows! Liu Qian always spares his life! ……”

The soldiers who fled back danced and waved their hands as they ran, howling loudly and begging Liu Dapan not to release the arrows and spare their lives.

Now Liu Dapan can't care so much, seeing that these routs have approached him, he slammed his waist knife forward, and shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”

After hearing the order, these family members released their bowstrings without saying a word, only to see a rain of arrows fly out in response, and fall into the rout.

Among the routs, the seven or eight soldiers who ran at the front of the rout screamed and fell to the ground one after another, screaming and scolding angrily, so frightened that the rout soldiers behind immediately stopped their steps and looked blankly at the comrades who fell to the ground.

"Turn around and go back to Lao Tzu, and die in front! If you dare to turn back, they will be the end you have been waiting for! Go back! Liu Dapan roared with red eyes.

These scattered soldiers, seeing that there was no way to retreat, had no choice but to scold and endure the fear in their hearts, turn around and rush forward again.

The cannonballs continued to break the oars in front of the array into pieces, and even the people with the shields were immediately torn apart, but the officers and soldiers who had been forced to this level could only grit their teeth and insist, although the shells were terrible, but they did not dare to disperse, just now they also saw the power of the guns of the Xingtian Army, and always thought that it would be safer to hide behind the oars, once they dispersed, they would lose the cover of the oars, so they would rather gather together and strengthen a group of courage, rather than easily disperse under the shelling of the Xingtian Army.

Looking at these officers and soldiers who were bombarded, Xiao Tianjian also shook his head a little, the officer commanding this officer army is really a stupid pig, when he clearly saw the powerful artillery fire of the Xingtian Army, the best choice was to let his subordinates spread as much as possible, so that the solid bullets at such a distance would be difficult to capture, and they could effectively reduce the damage, but they were stupid people, they would rather hug up and die and be beaten, but they did not dare to disperse, this was simply letting the gunners of the Xingtian Army shoot targets.

For the performance of this official army, he really has no interest in caring, his main attention has shifted to the cavalry of the two Guanning Army on both wings, compared to this group of foot soldiers, although the number of cavalry of the Guanning Army on both wings is not much, but relatively speaking, the threat to them is a little greater, Situ Liang has asked for battle twice, and he wants to lead his troops to kill out, either to contain the cavalry on both wings, or to assault the infantry of this group of hedgehogs from the flanks, but they were all vetoed by Xiao Tianjian.

At this moment, when he saw that the official cavalry began to make a posture of charging from both flanks, Situ Liang ran to Xiao Tianjian again and asked Xiao Tianjian to fight: "General, let our cavalry team go out!" You can't watch their cavalry show off their might! ”

Xiao Tianjian glanced at Situ Liang and said with a smile: "What? Are you afraid that there will be no battle for you? I don't need you to fight now! You give me a good rest on my horses, and when it's time to let you out, I'll let you out! Don't forget what your mission is! It's not for you to fight with the enemy, we can't afford it! Your most important task is to pursue the enemy after defeat, not to do this! Retire! ”

Situ Liang watched the lively battle in front of him, but he didn't dare to disobey Xiao Tianjian's order, so he had to turn around and return to the cavalry behind the formation, and shouted loudly: "Loosen the belly belt of the war horse, rest first!" The general said, we will fight in a while, and we don't need to go into battle at this time! ”

The guys of the cavalry team suddenly booed like deflated balls, and then loosened the belly straps of their horses......

The group of Luoyang soldiers who were beaten to the point of urine, wanted to escape from this battlefield, but behind them was Liu Dapan personally supervising the battle, and those who ran back were shot and killed, and some people wanted to escape from both wings, but the Guanning army was very lacking in morality, and a team of cavalry was at the mercy of them on both wings, saying that it was covering their two wings, but in fact, to put it bluntly, they were monitoring them, and they couldn't escape from both sides.

So although these Luoyang soldiers were frightened, they didn't have any way, they were also dead when they stepped forward, and they were also dead when they retreated, and there was nowhere to escape, so they had to grit their teeth ruthlessly, and no longer thought about it so much, one by one they cursed loudly, cursing the Xingtian Army opposite, cursing Liu Dapan behind them, cursing those Guan Ning Army, in short, everything that could be scolded, they were all scolded at this time, so that it aroused some of their fierce anger, and began to lower their heads, following behind the oars in front, Quickened his pace and arched towards the large array of the Xingtian Army.

The rows of firecrackers were ready at this time, lit the firerope again, carefully blew the firerope, and stared at the officers and soldiers who were slowly advancing with their eyes.

An officer shouted in the middle of the line: "Don't fire yet!" Wait until they get closer before you fight! Grandma, do these idiots think they can stop our birds with all this shit? Give them a look in a moment! ”

In this way, the generals of the Xingtian Army held their breath and stood there quietly, as if these officers and soldiers in front of them did not exist at all, just waiting for the officers to give the order to fire, until the officers and soldiers had approached fifty paces, some of the official archers also began to hold bows from the top of the head of the shield hand in the front to shoot towards the Xingtian Army array, and the arrows were scattered in front of the Xingtian Army array, and individual arrows had begun to fall into the Xingtian Army array, fortunately, the Xingtian Army was fully armored, although it was not excellent, but for this kind of projectile arrows, It can still play a good protective role, even if a few soldiers are hit by arrows, they can't cause any serious injuries, and the most that is hit by the arrow is a muffled snort, as long as the injury is not serious, the soldiers raised their hands and folded the arrow shaft, and continued to stand upright in the formation.

"Fire ......"

The rows of impatient firecrackers who had been waiting for a long time, hearing this command, immediately raised their legs forward, walked behind the wooden fence and raised their birds.

With the rows of bird guns ringing again, the projectiles suddenly hit the big shield of the official army like a torrential rain, and suddenly hit these oars and sawdust flying wildly, more than forty steps away, the bird guns of the Xingtian Army can already exert a huge penetrating power, some projectiles hit the oars, when even if the oars are pierced, and the projectiles that penetrate the oars, but still maintain a certain lethality, and hit the officers and soldiers who carry the shields, the shield hand who was shot screamed and fell in front of the battle, Immediately, the neat shield wall was like an old woman's teeth, and gaps appeared, exposing the officers and soldiers behind.

At this time, that is, there was only one step left, and the officers and soldiers knew that they were not lucky, and fear had squeezed out their last bit of courage, so they did not know which officer and soldier roared wildly: "Brothers, rush forward!" Dead Ball! The officials don't use us as people, and the thieves should also kill us like pigs and dogs! Instead of being so, it's better to fight for the ball! It's better than waiting to be beaten! Kill! Killing one is enough, killing two and let's earn one! ”

With this agitation, there were really many officers and soldiers who were forced to be anxious to burst out with a trace of their bloody bravery, followed by a wild roar, carrying their shields, screaming and screaming, and rushing up with their single knives like a tide.

The firecrackers of the Xingtian Army kept coming forward to fire, reloading in columns, and constantly pouring bullets and rain on these officers and soldiers who rushed towards them, knocking over the officers and soldiers to the ground, but as more and more officers and soldiers who were driven crazy rushed up, gradually such a platoon of guns could not stop their charge, and after paying a considerable price, some officers and soldiers really rushed to the side of the first wooden fence with their shields, and some people stepped on the iron thistle terrestris on the ground when they rushed through this short distance, Immediately, the soles of his feet were pierced, and he rolled to the ground with a miserable howl, but then he was trampled under the feet of the officers and soldiers who rushed up from behind, and after a few screams, he was trampled to death on the ground.
