Zhang Shijie found that this group of officers and soldiers was equipped with a terrifying number of muskets and artillery like the Qi family army and the Tianxiong army, and he was powerless to resist at all, so he surrendered without hesitation.

However, at this time, Tian Jianxiu didn't know that the equipment of this group of officers and soldiers was so terrifying, because the last news he received was that the officers and soldiers were rushing to Lantian County, and then there was no more, as soon as Li Dingguo and they bypassed Lantian County, his contact with Zhang Shijie was cut off.

On the avenue leading from Baqiao to Lantian, two armies were rapidly approaching, like two torrents, and like two long dragons, surging forward, and soon, the scouts of both sides met together.

At this time, the well-trained training of the Fuguang army is reflected, their scouts have all studied the lessons of encountering each other, how to hide, how to encircle and kill, how to prevent the local investigation of their own situation, and how to spy on the enemy's situation, they all have rich experience, and when they meet their peasant army scouts, they are basically dead, and none of them can escape.

The scouts on the side of the peasant army were killed in batches, Tian Jianxiu finally found out that something was wrong, he knew that there must be officers and soldiers in front, but he didn't know how many there were and in what direction, because the scouts he sent out ran out of the front for ten miles and didn't come back, obviously, they had been killed by the scouts of the officers and soldiers.

At this time, as the main general, he must make a choice, whether to continue to rush to Lantian City or directly retreat to Xi'an City, whether to form a formation on the spot to resist the officers and soldiers or rush up to fight with the officers and soldiers, no matter what, he must make a decision quickly, because the scouts on both sides have encountered, and the officers and soldiers are definitely not far from him.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to form a formation on the spot to resist the officers and soldiers.

Because he didn't know how many officers and soldiers were coming in front of him, he didn't dare to rush forward rashly.

He didn't dare to go back like this, but the order given to him by King Chuang was desperate to support Lantian and guard the southern gateway.

At this time, Li Dingguo also had to make a choice, because Zhang Bin had already handed over the command of the 80,000 army to him, and he was the chief general of the 80,000 army!

He wasn't as uncomfortable as Tian Jianxiu at this moment, because he knew that there were 100,000 thieves in front of him, and the scout had already investigated the situation of this group of thieves clearly.

Judging from what the scouts have detected, there is a rabble in front of them, and they are no match for them at all.

Without hesitation, he chose to rush forward and annihilate this group of thieves!

Tian Jianxiu had already ordered to stop the advance, and formed a formation on the spot, preparing to resist the officers and soldiers.

The 100,000 peasant armies formed a phalanx under the command of their respective teams, and soon, the entire avenue, including the flat ground on both sides, was covered with small squares, layer upon layer, stretching for several miles, although each phalanx was not so neat, but it was finally assembled, and it was also divided into levels, which was quite good for the peasant army, which showed that Tian Jianxiu was a good general.

Li Dingguo also ordered to start the formation, however, he formed a long snake formation, not a phalanx, and the 80,000 Fuguang army did not stop to form a formation, but constantly adjusted in the process of movement, and quickly formed a long snake formation.

The distance between the two sides continued to get closer, and finally, a dense black spot appeared in front of them, which could be seen with the naked eye, proving that the distance between the two sides was less than three miles.

Their chariot soldiers are different from the chariot soldiers of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, because they have muskets and artillery, and they can't directly let the war horses rush into battle with the chariots, otherwise the guns and cannons will fire in unison, and the war horses will be frightened, and the formation will be chaotic!

He could see the dense bandits in front of him, and Tian Jianxiu could naturally see a long line of officers and soldiers coming, but Tian Jianxiu still didn't know how many officers and soldiers had come, because Li Dingguo put out a long snake formation, which was more than ten miles long, and he couldn't see the head at all when he looked at it.

The officers and soldiers also stopped, what the hell did they want to do?

Do? Naturally, it's a rush!

The chariot and the war horse quickly separated, and all the war horses were quickly transferred to the rear, Li Dingguo immediately ordered, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi each led 500 chariots to line up left and right, Wang Shangli and Bai Wenxuan each commanded 400 tiger squat artillery wagons to follow, Feng Shuangli, Ma Yuanli and Zhang Hualong commanded their subordinates to put on simple saddles on the war horses and prepare to mount and ride to fight.

The terrain here is relatively open, and Tian Jianxiu originally wanted to use his strength advantage to besiege the officers and soldiers, because he knew that the officers and soldiers had come in total about 100,000, and it was impossible for them to besiege Lantian City without dividing their troops, so no matter what, his side must have an advantage in terms of troops.

To his surprise, the officers and soldiers actually pushed the cart up to do it with him!

Seeing countless chariots scattered quickly to both sides, his face was already a little ugly, everyone was full of chariots, how could he do it?

He doesn't know!

He had never encountered such an officer and soldier who was all chariots.

He didn't know how to do it, but Li Dingguo knew how to do it, and as soon as the chariot and the tiger squat artillery carriage dispersed, he ordered without hesitation: "Rush, rush to a hundred steps in front of the enemy formation." ”

"Kill!"

Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and other generals commanded the chariot and the tiger squat artillery car to rush towards the enemy formation quickly, looking at the rolling traffic, Tian Jianxiu's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

I don't know how to do it, so let's treat them as foot soldiers, he reluctantly ordered: "Archer, prepare." ”

The officers and soldiers' chariots were all roofed, and bows and arrows were estimated to have no effect on them, but he really couldn't think of any other way, so he could only follow the usual methods.

However, something unexpected happened to him again, the chariots of the officers and soldiers rushed to a hundred paces in front of the formation, and all of them stopped!

What the hell are these guys, shouting and killing so fiercely, they don't rush up, but stop at about 100 steps and don't move, this distance, it's really uncomfortable, the bow and arrow shoot basically no harm, in the end do you let go of the arrow?

He was hesitating there when a strange sound suddenly sounded from behind the chariot of the officers and soldiers, as if someone was hammering a nail into the ground.

Wang Shangli and Bai Wenxuan were indeed directing people to nail nails, and the big nails about the thickness of their arms were quickly driven into the soil, and the eight hundred tiger squat artillery carts were quickly erected, followed by a strange clicking sound.

After the Zi Gong was loaded, 800 order flags were erected one after another, and Li Dingguo did not hesitate to order: "Open the cannon." ”

"Boom, boom, boom", there was a loud bang, the whole ground seemed to tremble, and hundreds of shells flew into the sky, covering the peasant army like a shadow of death.

It's artillery, so many artillery!

Tian Jianxiu's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly ordered: "Quick, turn around, withdraw!" ”

However, it was too late, and before his words could be heard, the cannonballs fell down, and countless blood splashes suddenly splashed in the peasant army.

"Ah, it's artillery, the officers and soldiers have artillery, run!"

At this time, the shortcomings of the peasant army's lack of training were also exposed, a round of shells fell down, and the 100,000-strong army suddenly became a pot of porridge, and the shells were smashed over.

Li Dingguo saw the panic of the thieves, and his face couldn't help but show a disdainful chuckle, he didn't rush to charge, but ordered unhurriedly: "The artillery fired another salvo, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi commanded the chariot to spread out on both sides, and Feng Shuangli, Ma Yuanli and Zhang Hualong led the cavalry forward, ready to charge." ”

"Boom boom", another round of salvo, the peasant sergeants who fell behind were smashed down a large piece, this time, all the peasant sergeants and soldiers fled back even more desperately, whoever stood in front of them pushed away, and if someone accidentally fell, it didn't matter, just stepped on it!

It's almost now, they all started to push and trample, and they definitely didn't have much heart to resist, Li Dingguo waved directly to Feng Shuangli, Ma Yuanli and Zhang Hualong, who came behind him: "Follow me!" ”

"Boom, boom." A dense sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the 30,000 Fuguang army under the leadership of Li Dingguo flocked like a torrent to the peasant army soldiers who fled for their lives in panic.

There is nothing to say about the next battle, two feet will definitely not be able to outrun four feet, and even if the peasant army foot soldiers spread their feet and run wildly, they will not be able to outrun the galloping war horses.

In the end, in addition to Tian Jianxiu and some generals on war horses and the management team, almost all the 100,000 peasant army foot soldiers became prisoners, of course, there were also those who jumped into the river and climbed the mountain, but that was basically looking for death, but the Fuguang army had muskets, once they found that this kind of could not catch up, they would unload the flintlock pistol on their backs and shoot wildly, and these people were basically beaten into a sieve.

Li Dingguo has just led the army to gather more than 90,000 prisoners, Zhang Bin and Cao Wenzhao have already led 10,000 horses and horses to gallop in, Lantian City has been taken by Cao Bianjiao at this time, and the next step is to relieve the siege of Xi'an City.

However, Zhang Bin did not immediately lead an army of 90,000 to Xi'an City, because there were too many prisoners and they had to be dealt with, and it was precisely because there were too many prisoners that he didn't have to hurry.

At this time, he has roughly investigated clearly, there are about 200,000 thieves besieging Xi'an City, and this one has captured 100,000, so there are more than 100,000 thieves left outside Xi'an, and 100,000 thieves have taken Xi'an, a Xiongcheng garrison with 40,000 troops, this kind of thing is basically impossible, unless the defenders in the city are all wine bags and rice bags.

He still doesn't know how the combat effectiveness of the Shaanxi soldiers is, but he knows a lot about the He people and the 10,000 Qin troops under him, those guys are not vegetarians, they are all professional soldiers who scream when they see the enemy, and they rely on the head of the enemy army to make money to support their families, with them in the town, 100,000 thieves will definitely not be able to capture Xi'an City, he doesn't have to worry about this.

At this time, he was most concerned about the actual combat effect of the chariot, because this was the first large-scale engagement with the enemy after the Fuguang army became a chariot soldier, and he wanted to know whether the chariot was good or not in the battle.

After listening carefully to Li Dingguo's report, he found that the effect of the chariot should be okay, because the 100,000 anti-thieves had no desire to attack after seeing a thousand chariots, of course, even if they rushed over, they would be beaten by the musketeers behind the chariot formation.

However, he found a problem, that is, the change of battle formations was not flexible enough, such as the cavalry was not assembled quickly enough.

He gave each horse a simple saddle, and all the soldiers went through simple riding drills, but this way of gathering all the horses into the rear and then saddle them on the horse was too time-consuming.

This time, they encountered the most scummy foot soldiers in the peasant army, so this problem has not been exposed, if the elite cavalry in the peasant army or even the elite cavalry of Jiannu, it will be troublesome, this kind of speed of saddle on the horse, the elite cavalry of the peasant army may have run away, and the elite cavalry of Jiannu may have rushed up!

It seems that there are still many places that need to be improved in this vehicle operation, and it just so happens that the anti-thief Li Zicheng faced this time is not very strong, and he can slowly experiment and improve in actual combat.

Therefore, he simply ordered the army to be stationed, sent all the prisoners to Lantian, and summoned all the generals to discuss the improvement measures for the chariot and soldier operations.

He was here to discuss the improvement measures of the chariot and soldier operations in a slow manner, but Li Zicheng was taken aback, Tian Jianxiu led an army of 100,000 to support Lantian, but the whole army was wiped out in less than a day, and only some generals and management teams fled back!

The officers and soldiers are too fierce, there are groups of chariots, piles of artillery, and I don't know how many muskets there are, they can't do it at all, what should they do?
