Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and said: "Clean up the battlefield, control the four gates, and clean up the Jiannu remnant party, and then we will go to Haizhou." Your 1st Brigade will be stationed in Gaizhou first, and the artillery battalion will be arranged later, Gaizhou is the most likely place for Jiannu to attack, and until I come back, you are not allowed to go out of the city to fight, just use artillery. “

Because it was a one-sided battle, after cleaning up the battlefield, it was found that only five soldiers were seriously injured, three soldiers were slightly injured, and the minor injuries were similar to Zhang Zongling's, and Jiannu had a total of 180 dead. According to Zhang Yingke, these two Niu Lu only have these armor soldiers.

The second brigade and two cavalry battalions were ready, and Lu Xiangsheng set off immediately after explaining to Zhang Zongling. He took the cavalry battalion first, passed through Li Luoguo, and arrived at Yaozhou Station.

Liu Xingxian, the general of Yaozhou, is Liu Xingzuo's sixth brother. He led people to kneel outside the city to welcome the arrival of the Ming army. Lu Xiangsheng jumped off the horse to help him up and said: "Gui Kunzhong cherishes his homeland, and Xiangsheng admires it." There is a saying in the saint that as long as you are willing to come back, you will be welcome, please rest assured Brother Liu. We are going to Haizhou, please Brother Liu send two guides, Brother Liu can first collect the Liao people, as far as possible to the south, Gaizhou has a guard water camp, willing to go back to the customs can take a boat, unwilling can wait in Gaizhou first, in the future Gaizhou south will be reclaimed tuntian. “

Liu Xingxian said gratefully: "Bachelor, rest assured, Xingxian will definitely lead the people to Gaizhou, and this Yaozhou Station will burn it." “

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Yaozhou Station takes away all the things and things, and the city wall does not need to be demolished." After we capture Haizhou, we will only transport things away, and Jiannu is not good at defending the city, so there is nothing to be afraid of. “

The Second Brigade also arrived soon after, everyone rested in Yaozhou for a day, and the next morning after the men and horses had eaten, under the leadership of the guide, Lu Xiangsheng led the cavalry through Tashanpu and came to the outside of Haizhou City.

Haizhou was also Liu Xingzuo's defense area, but the people who were responsible for defending the city were the armor soldiers of the five Niu Lu of Houjin and the three thousand Han soldiers. Therefore, it is impossible to expect Haizhou to dedicate the city, and it must be fought.

At noon when they arrived in Haizhou, more than 2,000 people from two cavalry battalions of the Guards dismounted under the order of Lu Xiangsheng and began to line up. Just after the formation was formed, the enemy troops had already rushed over.

The Houjin soldiers were led by Jiala Ezhen Alaji, who was a close confidant of Yue Tuo, brave and good at fighting, and was known as the first warrior with the red flag. He has never received news that there are Ming troops around, and he is very strange, where did this Ming army come from? However, he saw that the guards were only about 2,000 people, so he naturally would not hold on, so he ordered 2,000 Han troops and 500 armor soldiers to go out of the city to fight.

The Houjin army started with foot shooting, and the Han army in front began to shoot arrows eighty steps away, of course, there was no threat to the Guards, and when the Han army reached the front fifty steps of the Guards, some arrows could be shot into the Guards formation, but the arrows were originally weak, and the iron scale armor that fell to the Guards did not even leave a trace and fell to the ground.

Lu Xiangsheng did not speak, and the guards did not fire until the Han army reached thirty steps in front of the formation, Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand, and the signalman blew the bamboo whistle in his mouth. The sharp sound of a bamboo whistle pierced the silence, the guards raised their guns, and another bamboo whistle sounded, and the fire was fired, and the dull sound of firing filled the white smoke in front of the battle. The soldiers of the Guards in the front row began to retreat, and the soldiers in the second row raised their muskets. The bamboo whistle sounds, and the fire gun rings again, like the three.

Because Zhu Youxiao had long stipulated that the cavalry and artillery of the Guards also needed to practice the use of flintlock firearms, the actual cavalry of the Guards was just infantry on horseback, and their training in firearms was no worse than that of the infantry.

After three rounds of shooting, the bamboo whistle no longer sounded, and after the white smoke cleared, it could be seen that the Han army on the opposite side had fallen one piece, and the other Han troops began to patrol and did not dare to advance, but they were forced by the armor soldiers behind them, and they did not dare to blatantly stride back.

At this time, the arrows of the armor soldiers were shot, and the arrows of the armor soldiers were no better than the arrows of the Han army, they shot fast, accurate and ruthless, and several guards were shot and fell to the ground, all of them snorted, and no one screamed.

Lu Xiangsheng remained silent, and when the Han army and the first soldier reached forty steps, he waved his hand, the bamboo whistle sounded, and the sound of fire guns followed, and the first soldier and the Han army fell again.

Araji shouted, and a group of armor soldiers rushed up again, first throwing out the broadsword and javelin in his hand, and then took the weapon and began to charge.

If it is archery, the threat to the Guards may be greater, because the plate armor is still in the experimental stage, and the possibility of arrows in the head and joint will be relatively large, and now with throwing weapons, as long as you shoot through the face, there is basically no problem to avoid the javelin, and there is no way to cause damage to the iron scale armor with a broadsword and a sword.

When the soldier rushed to twenty paces, the bamboo whistle sounded again, and the soldier fell down with the sound of fire.

Lu Xiangsheng shouted: "White-knuckle battle." ”

The Guards soldiers picked up their guns and walked forward. Araji laughed wildly, thinking that I am still a little afraid of you using firearms, and if you want to fight hand-to-hand, how can you be the opponent of my Jurchen warriors.

With his broadsword in hand, he rushed forward with a sinister grin, and ran towards one of the Guards soldiers, who also rushed towards him with his gun. Araji looked at the small bayonet, and despised in his heart, what can be cut with a knife still wants to hurt Lao Tzu, no way.

Seeing that the two were about to make contact, the Guards soldier paused and stopped, and Araji thought he was afraid, so he smiled even more fiercely and raised his knife, only to see the soldier pointing the gun at him and pulling the trigger.

A flash of fire flashed, a buckshot pierced through his left eye, and then came out from behind his ear, and Araji's right eye showed an incredible look, wasn't he going to fight with a white knuckle? Why do you still use firearms?

Araji fell to the ground with an unwilling face, and after the veteran of the Guards who killed him confirmed that he was dead, he rushed forward with a fire hammer, stabbed a knife into the neck of a soldier, and then jerked it back, and a black blood mark came out, and the soldier slowly fell to the ground holding his neck.

The guards are loaded with bullets and then go to assassinate, and they will put a fire gun before they start to fight the white blade, so they have a great advantage, and most of the soldiers of the first division have reached the second-level assassination standard, and the recruits from Liaodong are even more hated by the country and family, and they fight especially fiercely.

Later, when the gold-armored soldiers saw that the leader was dead, their momentum fell first, and in the white-knuckle battle with the guards, they found that they did not have any advantage, and their momentum fell again. Momentum is intangible and intangible, but its role in battle is extremely important. As for the two opposing sides, if one side falls, the other side will definitely rise, so the Guards are like a rainbow, and soon the Houjin armor soldiers are embarrassed.

All kinds of requests, thank you for your support!
