While **** Li was adjusting his troops, Yang Xuan stood in a dense forest in front of the Dawang Temple, and watched the battlefield situation from time to time with a pergola. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing that Yao Zhijiao's 4th Battalion and Yang Bingyi's 5th Battalion had killed more than 2,000 elite men of the Western Army on their backs, and their six brigades were like six sharp knives, alternately covering and fighting.

Everyone smiled one by one, and some even suggested that Yang Xuan launch a counterattack, and now there are two infantry battalions and two cavalry brigades, if they suddenly kill, the other party will definitely be difficult to parry.

But everyone needs to pay attention to the fact that in addition to the fact that the Great Western Army suffered a lot of casualties when it first met the enemy, it is now desperately trying to avoid our firearms team and our killer team, and its casualties have been reduced a lot.

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and everyone looked quite proud.

Suddenly, seeing that the situation on the battlefield had reversed, **** Li sent more than 1,000 infantry to the front to support, in a vain attempt to outflank the loyal and righteous army in front.

Standing in the bushes behind him, from time to time through the monocular to closely observe the enemy's situation, see that **** Li has done his best, if the plan succeeds, **** Li will inevitably lead the three hundred cavalry around him to rush over from the right.

Since the other party couldn't hold his breath and showed his hole cards, Yang Xuan didn't want to hide it, in addition to transferring the deputy general of the 6th battalion, Liu Weiming, to the left flank to support, it was to let Cao Zhang lead the escort battalion to attack the enemy in front of him head-on.

Seeing two battalions of soldiers and horses killed again in the bushes in front of him, **** Li was quite shocked, and the intelligence showed that there were only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangru County, but the loyal and righteous army was only a thousand soldiers and horses, and what he saw in front of him was obviously wrong.

Despite this, **** Li is still full of confidence, he has been in the world for more than ten years, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen, and the Great Western Army has 4,000 elite divisions that are obviously several times that of the other party, and they can completely defeat the other party.

But just after the fight, **** Li was shocked, it stands to reason that the two sides of the loyal army fought for a long time, if the loyal army had a tiger squat cannon, it should have been used a long time ago, who knew that now the loyal and righteous army used this killer weapon at a critical juncture.

The escort battalion suddenly came out, Cao Zhang rushed to the front with a tiger squatting cannon, put it down on the hillside about 100 meters away from the front of the Great Western Army, loaded it with gunpowder and lead bullets, and then lit it and fired it at the officers and men of the Great Western Army who rushed over.

The tiger squat cannon weighed about 36 catties, and the two soldiers didn't need much effort to carry it at all, and they ignited and fired it in a panic, and the lead burst out of the muzzle of the cannon and landed in the enemy bushes in front.

Although the lethality of the Tiger Squat Cannon is not great, its momentum is very amazing, especially when it fires scattered bullets, and shrapnel flies sideways in a radius of four or five meters, which is very terrifying.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the other party, Yang Fuquan, Du Jigui and others led various brigades to rush over, and when the two sides were sixty paces apart, they suddenly stopped, and with an order, the musketeers in front knelt on the ground on one leg, raised their guns to aim, and fired at the panicked rogues nearby.

Even during World War II, it was difficult to suppress the crowd that charged over with a rifle, not to mention that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, although the firearms were very powerful, but the loading was very cumbersome.

Seeing that the rogue rushed to thirty or forty paces, the crossbowmen of the various killer teams raised their crossbows one after another to shoot, and the crossbow fired several times faster than the bird's gun, and after several rounds of continuous shooting, the front fell again.

Suddenly, with the assistance of the escort battalion, the morale of all units of the Loyal and Righteous Army on the front line was greatly boosted, and everyone returned to direct under the command of the general and brigade commanders, and then used the escort as a sharp knife to constantly rush towards the Daxi Army, which had an absolute superiority in numbers.

After all, this group of rogues is its elite, of course, its combat power is far above many rabble, seeing that the front line will collapse again, **** Li, Wang Jiye rushed to the front, under its encouragement, the morale of the Daxi Army recovered slightly, although the front fell more than half, but under the strict supervision of **** Li and Wang Jiye, they still swarmed up, in a vain attempt to rely on the numerical advantage to defeat the current loyal and righteous army, and regain firm control of the battlefield situation.

The number of people on both sides at the front of the battlefield gathered more and more, and seeing that the two sides resumed stalemate again, at this moment, Yang Fuquan waved his hand, and several people rushed out of each musket squadron, and they rushed to the back of each killer team with a wooden barrel in twos and threes to stop.

The escort battalion is the elite of the army, each brigade has two firearms squadrons and a killer squadron, each firearms squadron is lined up in three rows, the front row is kneeling on one leg to aim and shoot, the middle row is half-squatting to aim and shoot, and the rear row is standing to aim and shoot.

Quickly opening the barrel, these grenadiers suddenly took out the Earthquake Thunder, pulled out the bamboo pipe that protected the fire rope, lit the fire rope, and then held the wooden handle of the Sky Shaking Thunder (improved type) in their right hand, and when the fire rope was about to burn out, they suddenly threw the Sky Shock Thunder into the crowd in front of them.

When he ambushed the Mongolian cavalry last year, Chen Huaixi used the earth-shaking thunder, and later read the book to understand that this earth-shaking thunder used to be called a thunderbolt cannon, and it began to be used intermittently as early as the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although it is very unsuitable for throwing like throwing a shot put, this is not difficult at all for Yang Xuan of the crossing clan, in the previous life, children in the market knew about grenades, and they only needed to install a wooden handle on the outside of the iron ball.

The wooden handle is cast together with a hollow iron ball, and 3-5 days before use, it is filled with coarse gunpowder (for explosion) and a fire rope, and a small bamboo pipe is inserted outside to prevent moisture.

Compared with throwing iron balls, the earth-shaking thunder equipped with a wooden handle is not only easy to hold and throw, but also throws far (the grenade tactic is 30 meters, here it is 20 meters) and throws accurately (carefully selected elite), the earth-shaking thunder falls on the ground and explodes, its lethality is far more than the scattered bombs or other solid shells fired by the tiger squat cannon (the solid cannonball completely relies on the inertia of the cannon to eject the breech, and does not explode for the second time, while the earth-shaking thunder is different, it explodes after landing, and the half-pound gunpowder explodes through the iron ball fragments and flies around).

All of a sudden, the earth-shattering thunder rained down into the enemy's bushes, and the sound of explosions came and went, and taking this opportunity for the loyal and righteous army to counterattack on all fronts, they were suddenly attacked by such a change, and the officers and men of the Great Western Army who were fighting were panicked one by one, and some of them were even holding their heads and running away.

Li was stunned, originally thought that Yang Xuan did not have any troops around him, but he did not expect that Yang Xuan did not care about the safety of the direction of Yunshan Ancient City at all, not only transferred Yao Zhijiao's battalion to Xiangru County, but also ambushed more than 1,000 people in the woods.

In addition, what was even more fatal was that at the end, Yang Xuan suddenly used his housekeeping skills - tiger squat cannons, earth-shaking thunder, especially this earth-shaking thunder, not only threw far away (improved with wooden handles), but also threw accurately (the elite selected by each squadron), so that the Western Army was defeated on all fronts.

After Li Qin led the cavalry to break, he was still defeated by the loyal army, and was killed and retreated for more than ten miles, until he joined forces with Chen Yingrui, Feng Youqing and other troops before regaining his position.

Seeing the defeat of the Great Western Army, Yang Xuan did not dare to chase after him, Mingjin collected his troops, cleaned up the battlefield, and slowly withdrew the battalions to the county seat before dark.

In the face of the elite of the Great Western Army, under the condition that the troops were at an absolute disadvantage, the Loyal and Righteous Army won the victory of killing more than 400 people and capturing more than 100 people at the huge cost of killing more than 80 people and wounding more than 200 people.

Watching the wheelbarrows carrying the corpses of the fallen soldiers pass by one by one, Yang Xuan felt that his heart was dripping blood, he originally thought that the loyal and righteous army had been equipped with a large number of firearms, and the sudden use of earth-shattering thunder could destroy the battlefield and decay, but he didn't expect that the casualties would be so huge.

The people next to him didn't think so, Yao Zhijiao waved his fists, happily thinking that after this defeat, **** Li would inevitably be honest, and he would inevitably roll back to Shunqing Mansion City obediently.

But this time, Yao Zhi's prediction was wrong, just like a wounded beast, after being hit hard, it actually became more ferocious.

After collecting troops and returning to the camp, counting the casualties, he saw that more than 500 people were killed and wounded in battle, and more than 1,000 were wounded.

Summing up the defeat on the battlefield, everyone thinks that it was mainly because Yang Xuan urgently transferred Yao Zhijiao's 4th Battalion to concentrate superior forces regardless of maintenance, mainly because Yang Xuan suddenly used the Heaven-Shaking Thunder at the end.
