The distance between the Liukou forward and the position of the Tiance Army was only about a mile away, while the barrage fired by the artillery was 800 meters, which was the densely populated area of the Liukou.

The area attacked by the artillery was also requested by Wang Yue, and it was required to create an isolated zone here.

Therefore, the artillery follow-up shells continued to fall here, which was an area more than two kilometers wide, and if the Liukou wanted to attack the position of the Tiance Army, they had to pass through this area.

Screaming and wielding their blades, the rogues rushed into the area by inertia, only to be mercilessly torn apart by cannonballs and thrown into the air.

The radius of destruction of the 60 mortar is 17.8 meters, and the radius of destruction of the 100 mm mortar is as high as 41.2 meters.

The mortars of the Tiance Army can now reach a maximum rate of fire of fifteen rounds per minute, and one shell hits the ground every four seconds. But the 100-millimeter mortar shell has a killing diameter of 82.4 meters, and even the 100-meter flyer Lewis can't cover this distance in four seconds.

So the rogues were cut in two, and the total number of rogues running in the front was only four or five thousand, and they quickly separated from the rogues behind them, and became a lonely battle.

When many rogues heard the explosion behind them, they looked back and saw that the isolation zone was under fire, and their own people were constantly thrown into the air, which frightened them.

Such a situation no longer allows them to run back, continue to rush forward and kill, it seems that their side still has a numerical advantage.

After being killed one after another, the rogues in the back finally stopped the car in front of the barrage, and some even retreated sharply.

The rogue in the first half continued to shout and rush towards the position of the Tiance Army, but in fact, their shouts were already lower than just now, I don't know how many times. The barrage behind them and the tragic deaths of their own people have cast a shadow on their hearts.

Now for them, it has become a hard-headed situation, because the back road is broken.

They were greeted by a rain of bullets, and the heavy machine guns and the soldiers' rifles fired only two rounds at them, killing nearly a thousand people, and the loudspeaker of the car began to shout.

"Lay down your arms, surrender at once, and spare you from dying!"

After shouting several times in a row, some people stopped advancing, in a daze and did not know what to do, some people saw the power of the Tiance arms and retreated, and a few brave people continued to move forward and became the target of the Tiance army, and hundreds of people fell.

The armored vehicle began to move forward, and the infantry behind also followed the armored vehicle and pressed towards the rogue.

"Bang dang!" The rogue, who was in a daze, threw away his weapon, knelt on the ground, and shouted, "Down, down!" ”

The part of the people who retreated, seeing that the back road had become a place of death, the Tiance army also pressed up, quickly threw away their weapons, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Down, down!" ”

Murder was not the main purpose, but these rogue captives were cheap and high-quality labor.

The soldiers, armed with rifles, stepped forward vigilantly to collect their weapons, and after a few rounds of blows, the rogues numbered less than three thousand.

The Tiance army set up positions here, shelled the ambush site of the Liukou, and added a battle, which consumed a lot of time. The Ming army of Nanjing, which followed behind, quickly caught up step by step, and Wang Yue handed over the work of guarding the prisoners of Liukou to them.

Almost all the troops of the Tiance Army can travel by car, although it is a half-way trip, it is also faster than the Nanjing Jingying, so they are lagging behind.

Now in this rainy weather, the road is muddy, it is really difficult to walk, and the Ming army does not have the rubber boots of the Tiance army.

This time to suppress the bandits, the Tiance army brought bundles of nylon ropes, which were used to capture the prisoners.

"Gonggong Liu, these prisoners hurry up and take them into custody, our army is about to continue the attack, and there are more prisoners to be captured later." Wang Yue said to Liu Bin, the eunuch of the Beijing camp.

Liu Bin didn't expect the Tiance Army to win the battle so quickly, and there were so many prisoners, so he immediately smiled toothlessly.

"Lord Wang, you can rest assured!" Liu Bin looked back and ordered: "Little ones, hurry up and get to work." ”

The Ming army in Beijing immediately held their spears and rushed towards the prisoners who were kneeling on the ground with their waist knives.

These ropes were all given to Liu Bin by Wang Yue, and they were specially used to bind the prisoners. In fact, the main ones to be tied up are those rogue soldiers, and those hungry soldiers are actually the same as sheep, and they don't need to be bundled.

The eunuch Wu Zhi looked at him with hot eyes, although his military merits were indispensable, but these captives were all money.

Wang Yue told Liu Bin, he heard it. The captives captured in Beijing were purchased by Wang Yue at the original price. If the Tiance army captures the prisoner and the Beijing camp participates in the assistance, it will be counted as half price. How many silver are 3,000 captives here?

Liu Bin saw Wu Zhi's expression from the corner of his eye, and he understood in his heart, he respectfully accompanied the smiling face, and said to Wu Zhi: "Where Gonggong Wu is, the miscellaneous family will have a filial piety to offer." ”

When Wu Zhi heard this, he couldn't mention how happy he was, but he nodded quietly, indicating that he understood. This shelf looks a little like that.

How else to say that the eunuch has eyes, since he has made a fortune here and is looked at by Wu Zhi, he can't help but express it. Otherwise, if people go back to the palace and give themselves small shoes to wear, they will not be able to eat and walk around.

The rogue in the front part surrendered, and the artillery fire began to gradually extend the shelling, and the rogue who ran down the hill immediately became unbearable.

The cannonballs kept falling on the crowd of rogues, chasing them on the buttocks, and the rogues shouted and ran up the hill again.

If you don't run, you can't do it, this cannon is too dense and accurate, and you can't play at all. Moreover, the official army came with another 3,000 reinforcements, and the momentum of the rogues was even lower.

The artillery of the Tiance Army has indeed become more and more proficient, and the frequent actual combat has made them grow rapidly. In particular, mortars are light and flexible, and the angle can be adjusted much faster than field guns.

Whitden and the other bandit leaders could no longer stop the trend of defeat, in fact, he did not do much to stop it. Because it was his people who suffered the most casualties and were captured in this attack.

This time, they came to ambush the Tiance army, and most of them were soldiers, so such a loss made Whitden feel painful.

Luo Rucai's people shouted loudly, but they fell behind, and this attack didn't hurt him much. Seeing that the attack failed, Luo Rucai took the lead in making the decision to retreat.

If you don't retreat, you can't do it, and since the attack is ineffective, do you still have to stay in the mountains and wait for the shells to explode? As soon as Luo Rucai's people left, Li Wanqing didn't say a word, and followed and retreated in the direction of the back mountain.

Hui Dengxiang, who suffered heavy losses, scolded Luo Rucai for not being righteous, and also retreated to the back mountain.
