"When crossing the river, it is common sense to attack halfway, but when we crossed the river, the safflower thief did not stop it at all, presumably because the enemy chief did not understand the art of war, my lord, so it seems that I will win this battle!" , Ma Chengshu came to Fukangan's side, ignoring that he was much older than Fukangan, and patted the horse's ass vigorously, in order to get a little credit to offset his previous guilt.

Fukangan didn't look back, he raised the clairglass with a relaxed face, closed his right eye and brought his left eye to the mouth of the mirror to observe the formation of the Red Flower Society, and after looking at it for a while, he put down the clairspace and frowned, "The formation of this red flower thief is quite strange, I don't know what the meaning is." ”

From a distance, Ma Zhishu saw that the formation of the Red Flower Society was not much different from the last time, and the soldiers were lined up in two neat horizontal lines with muskets equipped with shiny bayonets, and they were facing the Qing army's camp, blocking the way for the Qing army to advance. Behind the horizontal column are large and small artillery, and on the small hill behind the artillery is a large red and bright flag, which seems to be the location of the enemy commander's camp, and the rangers are cruising around under the hills. The biggest difference with the Qing army is that the formation of the Red Flower Society is full of muskets and cannons, and there is no sword player, pikemen and other troops, and there are not many cavalry, and it seems that there are only a thousand people.

If I had cavalry, would I let you over? Chen Jialuo seemed to hear Ma Chengshu's words, and secretly complained in his heart, the reason why he let the Qing soldiers cross the stream was that on the one hand, the terrain here was flat and conducive to the deployment of their musketeers, and on the other hand, it was to annihilate the enemy more effectively, and there was a river behind them to prevent them from escaping, so it should be slower anyway, right?

"Master Fu, this safflower thief has sharp firearms, so there are no sword players, spearmen and other troops in the formation." , Ma Chengshu patiently explained to Fukangan, "The last time the last time the general fought with this spark thief, the last general personally led his subordinates to rush desperately, but the thief artillery was endless, and most of the soldiers were killed and wounded before they got close to the enemy's formation, and the last general had no choice but to be the last general", Ma Chengshu said here and choked up. He couldn't speak anymore.

"What is the intention of speaking comfortably before the war starts?" , Fukangan snorted coldly and turned his head to stare at Ma Yingshu, and the guards on both sides stepped forward. As long as Fukangan makes a gesture, they will step forward and take him down!

"The last general will not dare! The last general just reminded the adults that this safflower thief is quite different from other rebels. Ma Chengshu hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, he was from a humble background, and he would never dare to go against a proud son like Fukangan.

"It's just a musket, and I think the thief's formation is weak. Just blast the formation of the thief army with artillery, and then have the courage to rush and kill for a while to break it, and when the time comes, the foot soldiers will rush up, and this battle can be stopped! Fukangan said confidently.

"Your Excellency is clever!" , Ma Zhishu immediately gave a thumbs up and praised, "Please also allow the small one to make meritorious contributions, and the work of leading the cavalry to charge and kill will be handed over to the small one!" ”

"You?" , Fukangan glanced at Ma Yingshu disdainfully, looked up and laughed. The guards behind him joked, "You still take care of these wastes under your hands, and it depends on our Eight Banners in terms of riding and archery skills!" ”

At the same time, Chen Jialuo also held binoculars to observe the changes on the other side, and after a while, he put down the binoculars and said to Huo Qingtong in a relaxed tone, "Except for more cavalry, it is no different from last time, let's do it according to the plan!" Be sure to leave these soldiers here! ”

Huo Qingtong took the order, and one after another orders were transmitted to every corner of the position along with the heralds running on fast horses. Seeing that his side was ready for battle, Chen Jialuo said to the special forces with rifled guns on his back, "You guys also go to play, according to what I said before, give priority to killing the enemy's generals and gunners." By the way, Fukangan's words will be let go for the time being! ”

"Observer, target enemy artillery camp, ranged!". In the artillery position, Instructor Pierre issued an order loudly, and several soldiers holding ranging instruments quickly got up and pointed their instruments at the artillery of the Qing army and reported the numbers one by one, and the gunners behind them quickly adjusted the position of the guns according to the numbers they reported.

"Fire!" "Fire!" The commanders of both sides roared at the same time. There was a loud bang, a flash of fire, and the smoke quickly filled the artillery position. The solid iron bullets fired by the Qing soldiers' red-coated cannons fell to the ground weakly before they reached the Red Flower Society's line, and had no other effect than to smash a few craters on the river beach. On the other hand, the shells of the Red Flower Society, the first wave went straight to the artillery position of the Qing army, and after landing, they exploded with a bang, and the shrapnel burst out at high speed instantly took the lives of many gunners.

"Haven't you eaten? Dodge! Dodge! With double gunpowder! A guerrilla got up from the ground, and immediately ran to the gun position without looking at the losses and shouted loudly. The soldier who was carrying the medicine bag with one foot dismantled it, personally stuffed the propellant into the muzzle of the cannon weighing 1,000 catties, compacted it and then put in the projectile, before he could turn to the back of the cannon and light the fuse. A scream came through the air, and when they looked up, they saw dense black projectiles smashing straight at them from the air.

Unable to light the fuse any longer, the guerrilla jumped into the pit and clung to his head, while praying to the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, praying that the passing Bodhisattvas and Buddhas would bless him from this catastrophe. It's a pity that no god passed by today, or his prayers were not pious enough, and a cannonball smashed on the gunpowder bag next to the cannon impartially, which quickly caused a martyrdom, and the entire Qing artillery camp was blown up with a roar.

After ten rounds of shelling, the Qing army flew fewer and fewer projectiles, and it was no longer possible to cause losses to Honghua. Pierre then issued a second order, "Observer, target Qing army camp, ranged!" ”

Fukangan's face turned blue, and he lost most of the artillery before the battle, this was the first time in his leading career, of course, this can't be his fault, if you want to blame the Fujian Green Battalion's drill is unqualified, the leader of the Ma Chengshu is a waste, glaring at Ma Chengshu fiercely, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Come on, take this waste down for me!" ”

Several relatives immediately pounced on Ma Yingshu like wolves, took out the rope and trapped it solidly, "After this battle, I will definitely impeach you to the Holy Lord for having no way to govern the army!" ”

Lai Bu, the commander of the Jianrui Battalion who came from the capital, came to Fukangan's side and persuaded, "Third Master, it's not a way to go on like this, let's take someone to rush for a while!" ”

"There's Brother Laureb!" , This is a man of relatives, and Fukangan also put away his arrogant face, "I will arrange someone to answer it, and I wish Brother Laibu success!" (To be continued.) )
