Chapter 668: Dare to Enter the Battle?

Wu Sangui and Guo Tuzhuang each led nearly 10,000 horse troops, bypassing the infantry army engaged head-on, and the horse army rushed to the second horizontal formation of the Wei army under the artillery bombardment of the Wei army.

On the hill on the two wings of the Wei army, the bronze cannon retreated violently, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose from the muzzle of the cannon, and in the orange flames, an iron projectile shot out rapidly, smashing into the Guanning iron cavalry, splashing a cloud of dirt.

The horse neighed, the horse lost its front hooves, and the soldiers on the war horse were thrown directly away, and then trampled into pulp.

Wu Sangui held a horse lance in his hand, galloped his horse, regardless of the mud pillars splashed around him, and some people howled and neighed about his horses, he pointed forward with his horse lance and charged with the cavalry.

The Guanning Iron Rider climbed over a small hill and rushed down the farmland, trampled by the horses' hooves and splashed with dirt.

For a time, the mountains were full of galloping and neighing horse troops, and mud pillars and gunpowder smoke rose in them, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

On the second front of the Wei army, the general in command was Wang Guangen, and when he saw the enemy cavalry galloping in, he showed an ugly look on his face.

After a large number of firearms were equipped, especially the creation of self-made firearms, the Wei army's military formation began to be simplified, and only two formations remained: horizontal formation and phalanx.

There is no depth in the horizontal formation, but it can hit the maximum projectile at one time, and it can give full play to the advantage of firepower to restrain the slow infantry army, and let the infantry army not approach the horizontal formation before it is disabled, but because there is no depth, the horizontal formation can not withstand the impact of the cavalry, so the horizontal formation is mainly used to deal with the infantry army, and not to restrain the cavalry.

The phalanx is the opposite, when facing the infantry army, only one of the four directions can fire projectiles, the firepower is greatly reduced, it is difficult to restrain the infantry in a horizontal formation, but because he has depth, and there are defensive and offensive capabilities on all sides, so the cavalry has nothing to do with him.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry came around from behind the first front, less than two hundred paces away from the second front, and the Wei army was no longer in a hurry to change formation.

Wang Guangen saw the Guanning iron cavalry roaring, the cavalry covering the fields like a tide, and the Wei army front was like a facing the tide, he immediately drew his sword and roared, "Rocket! ”

Wu Sangui's left and right countless horse heads surged forward, the officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army raised their three-eyed fire guns, and the horse army galloped in the deafening sound of artillery, and the horses that were shot and the soldiers who fell from their horses were left behind by the large group of horses in an instant.

In the past 10 years or so, Guan Ningjun has not seriously fought a few battles, and most of the time he has paid attention to protecting his own strength, and under such circumstances, he has come to look for opportunities to make meritorious contributions.

Wu Sangui has only played three lives recently, once to beat Li Zicheng, once to beat Zhang Xianzhong, and the last time is now.

These three times are related to the future and vital interests of him and Guan Ning, and he has to work hard.

At this time, he was galloping on his horse, and when he saw several soldiers pushing out a few small carts on the Wei army's front, his heart was immediately terrified.

There are many rockets in the Ming Dynasty, such as a swarm of bees, a hundred tigers rushing arrows, etc., the one launched in front of him is a hundred tigers running arrows, the accuracy is not high, but the momentum is bluffing, he immediately lowered his body.

Almost at the same moment, countless dazzling lights erupted from those small cars, white smoke quickly obscured the Wei army's front, countless arrows screamed and scurried, the war horses neighed, and the cavalry and the war horses fell and rolled together, and the formation was chaotic.

The Guanning cavalry fell to the ground again and again, but Wu Sangui did not avoid it, he lifted the horse lance and continued to shout loudly: "Kill!" ”

Most of the cavalry who fell from their horses were trampled to death by the later horse army, and the Guanning iron cavalry continued to rush forward, and there was a "bang, bang" sound on the Wei army's front.

After the rocket was fired, the smoke of gunpowder obscured his vision, and Wu Sangui couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly, only hearing the neighing of the people and horses around him, and hearing the screams of the cavalry falling to the ground, he knew that the cavalry had suffered heavy losses.

With a loud "boom", a hand threw a thunderbolt that shook the sky, exploded around him, and a wave of air struck, almost blowing him over.

Wu Sangui saw a family member next to him, who was blown up and fell down with the war horse, and when he heard the neighing behind him, he was furious in his heart.

The huge casualties of the Guan Ning army had already angered Wu Sangui.

The distance of two hundred paces is just an overnight moment for Ma Jun.

Wu Sangui rushed out of the smoke of gunpowder, and his eyes suddenly became clear, and he immediately saw a group of Wei troops with their spurs raised diagonally, blocking in front of him, only three thin columns.

In an instant, Wu Sangui's face leaked a cruel look, he looked at the Wei army in front of him, and retracted the horse lance so that he could aim it and stab it out.

"Bang bang bang" rang out, but this time it was not the Wei army's gun, but the three-eyed gun in Guanning's iron rider.

The gun pill flew out, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the soldiers in front of the Wei army front suddenly fell to the ground one after another, and almost at the same time, Wu Sangui had already collided with the Wei army line, and his horse lance stabbed out, stabbed into the chest of a gunner, and knocked a Wei soldier away, pushing the corpse out of a battle away, before pulling out the horse lance and riding his horse to the third front.

In a moment, the second front of the Wei army was torn apart by the Guanning army, the soldiers were cut down by the cavalry with swords, and the horse army poured out of the gap like a flood.

The Guan Ning infantry army, which was killed by the Wei army in front of it, saw Wu Sangui's banner, charged forward, broke through the barrier, and rushed straight to Gao Yihuan's banner, and suddenly let out a cheer, and under the boiling blood, he barely stabilized his position.

Under the banner of the Wei army, Gao Yihuan saw the Guan Ning army breaking through the defense line, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he waved his hand and ordered, "Order the horse army to attack, cover the retreat of the soldiers to the two wings, and the Chinese army is in various formations, ready to meet the enemy!" ”

The Ma army's attack formation was cone-shaped, and the Guanning army carved a point in the Wei army's defensive line, and then quickly expanded to the left and right, widening the gap.

When the Guanning iron cavalry poured into the second line of defense from the gap and pounced on the third line of defense, the Wei army of the second line of defense saw that they could not resist and quickly retreated to both sides of the gap.

The Guanning army suddenly divided several cavalry units to cover the retreating Wei army, but at this time, the Wei army and horse army rushed out, and the Guanning army could only abandon their guns and face the Wei army and horse army, which was a greater threat.

The Wei army retreated to the bottom of the artillery array, immediately regrouped, and under the cover of artillery, pressed towards the scuffling infantry.

When the Wei army on the second front blocked it, the Wei army on the third front quickly changed its formation, forming small phalanxes and leaking gaps one by one.

"Lord Wang, it's a hollow array, you can't go deep!" Xia Guoxiang galloped on his horse and reminded urgently.

Wu Sangui couldn't help but slow down in the gallop, and in the wilderness in front of him, there were large and small phalanxes, and Gao Yihuan's Daxu was in a large phalanx.

In each phalanx, the front row is a spearman wearing heavy armor, half-crouching on the ground, stabbing the spear diagonally, and the back row is a firecracker, with artillery and rockets in the array.

Gao Yihuan stood under the banner of Daxu, looking at the Guanning Iron Cavalry coming from all over the mountains, his eyes fell on a team of self-generated guns in front of him, and he sneered on his face: "The Lone King is here, the Lone King of Wu Sangui called you, do you dare to come in?" ”
