These two cannons frightened the black wolf bandits, the power was too great, and the attack was delayed. But they didn't retreat, and most of them retreated two or three hundred meters away to observe the situation.

"There's enemy soldiers there." A soldier pointed to the black wolf bandit cavalry, which was about two hundred meters away.

Xu Meng didn't let the arquebus fire first, and let the Lying Niu Cannon come first. The Lying Niu Cannon has been studied by Xu Meng for many years, and the iron sand buzzed over, and it was lying on the nest halfway, and even if it hit it at a distance of 200 meters, it would be lethal.

The two cannons were empty, and the black wolf bandits smiled and made some lewd moves on this side, and some even stood on horseback to pee on this side.

"Arquebus, fire." With Xu Meng's order, ten arquebuses fired, and solid iron eggs the size of peanuts flew towards the enemy horsemen, screaming continuously, and the three enemy horsemen fell under their horses, seeing that they were hopeless.

The distance of 200 can hit 30%, which is quite a high percentage. If there were a hundred arquebuses, this little cavalry would not be enough to fight.

The enemy on the opposite side deliberated for a while, apparently not daring to fail, and blew the horn and began a second attack, this time they learned wisely, and charged on horseback, and hung their hooks to resist the horse and wanted to retreat.

Dozens of archers on the second floor let go of their arrows, and the feather arrows swished to the bridge, which is a distance of seventy or eighty meters, and the lethality of the bow and arrow is still very considerable.

However, the black wolf bandits were not afraid of bows and arrows, and they turned around and let the horses drag back the horses, and fired back at the place with arrows over and over again. The black wolf bandits' archery skills are really powerful, and they can shoot the soldiers in the outpost at this distance, and they begin to have casualties one after another.

The arquebus rang out again, this time at a close distance, and even the war horses were directly overturned by three horses, followed by a lying cow cannon. However, the black wolf bandits were also desperate, throwing torches and burning the rope of the rejection horse, and they dragged the rejection horse and threw it into the river.

The bridge was no longer barrier-free, and the soldiers at the outpost were a little nervous, and the two sides began to fire bows and arrows at each other.

Xu Meng kept roaring: "Hit hard, lie on the bull cannon, increase the charge and kill them." ”

But the Crouching Bull Cannon has a slow rate of fire, and melee combat is really unreliable. The arquebus began to scatter bullets, and the power of scattering bullets at a distance of dozens of times was really fierce, almost a shot could knock down a black wolf bandit, and the black wolf bandit was greatly attritional, from a hundred or so horses just now, to the current fifty or so horses. However, they did not retreat, but shouted happily when they saw that they had crossed the bridge.

At this moment, the horn sounded, and in the woods behind the outpost, more than 400 infantry were killed, although they were infantry, but they looked too fierce. They wore helmets and leather armor, and held huge plate axes or giant swords in their hands.

The leaders were Li Kui and Bao Xu, these two people couldn't bear it anymore when they saw the fierceness of the killing here, and they killed them with the soldiers.

Li Kui waved his big axe: "Kill." ”

Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison and rushed forward. This group of black wolf bandits was stunned, they didn't expect that the Song infantry, who had always been weak, would dare to come out to fight, don't look at the black wolf bandits, there are only fifty horses, but they are all guys who are not afraid of death.

The black wolf bandits gave up the outpost that was difficult to attack, whistled, and rushed towards Li Kui and them. The iron hooves of the war horse trampled on the earth and swooped down, and the mace raised high was hideous and terrifying.

Close, 100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters. Li Kui roared angrily: "Flying axe." ”

The soldier who was rushing forward suddenly stopped, and pulled out a small plate axe from his waist like a trick, saying that the trumpet axe also weighed two pounds, the sharp axe was shiny, and the axe handle was relatively short. Everyone took out their throwing axes and threw them forward without hesitation.

This flying axe is not comparable to a bow and arrow, and its accuracy is poor, but unexpectedly, the black wolf bandits only saw hundreds of axes falling from the sky. Some were hit in the head by axes and died directly. Some of them were cut off from their horses and thrown off their horses by their horses.

After the flying axe, there were still more than a dozen riders left, and these more than ten riders were really fierce, and they rushed forward without hesitation.

Li Kui and Bao Xu led the troops to rush forward, the opposite cavalry approached, Li Kui showed a hideous smile, the left plate axe blocked the mace, and the right plate axe cut it according to the thigh of the black wolf ride, click, one was cut down, the axe was castrated, and the horse was directly cut through a huge opening, and the war horse fell to the ground with a bang.

Over there, Bao Xu faced the wolf head of this team of black wolf bandits, that is, the supreme leader of this team, with superb martial arts, and the mace hit Bao Xu's Tianling Gai from top to bottom. Bao Xu spread out, with a huff of his waist, the giant sword swept the horse's legs, two of the four horse's legs swept away, and the war horse slammed to the ground. The wolf's head fell off the horse's back and rolled and stood up, holding a mace to continue fighting with Bao Xu. He felt a chill behind him, and the giant swords on both sides slashed his back. It turned out that two giant swordsmen came up and cut them straight away.

Bao Xu didn't care about him, he picked up the big sword and slashed towards the other horse, using too much force, even the man and the horse were split in half.

Due to the great success of the flying axe raid, the remaining ten or so cavalry did not have much impact on the infantry of Li Kui's battalion at all, so they directly let the plate axe and giant sword split.

"Bao Xu, you take someone to clean up the battlefield, I'll go see Xu Meng, this guy can't be hurt." Li Kui said.

Bao Xu cleaned the battlefield, and the black wolf bandits who were injured and did not die in everything were all a sword. There were only a dozen or so horses intact, and the others were either hacked to death or slashed.

"The horses, maces, and armor were all left behind, and the corpses were moved to dig a pit by the woods, waiting for orders." Bao Xu ordered.

There are many people who are easy to work, and it is easy to clean up such a little battlefield.

Li Kui came to the outpost, Xu Meng was distressed, three soldiers were killed and five were injured in the outpost, all of them were wounded by bows and arrows.

"Xu Meng, are you okay?" Li Kui asked.

Xu Meng said: "I don't have a bird business, but I didn't expect the black wolf bandits' arrows to be very powerful, and the archers on the second floor let them shoot three dead." ”

Li Kui said: "Where are there undead people in the war, didn't you see that the black wolf bandits let you kill forty or fifty people with artillery bombardment." ”

Xu Meng looked at it too, and immediately went out to inspect the corpse of the black wolf bandit, and found that thirty or fifty of them died from artillery. At least twenty horsemen died from the arquebus, and it seems that the power of the arquebus is still worthy of recognition.

At this time, fifty rangers also arrived, and they were also surprised to hear that more than 100 black wolf bandits had been annihilated, and sighed that they did not catch up with the battle. The rangers went to the north bank of the Tunu River to search, and came back after not running for more than ten miles, and after coming back, his face was a little bad, and Li Kui asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The platoon commander said: "At least 1,000 enemy horsemen have been found. ”

Li Kui said: "When will our reinforcements be able to deliver?" ”

"When the outpost was attacked just now, the signal was that there were only 100 enemy cavalry, and a maximum of 200 cavalry would be sent to support. What's more, it's seventy or eighty miles away, and I'm afraid it's going to be dark when I come. ”

This Black Dragon Island is too big, and dozens of miles are not a thing. Fortunately, the outposts were not too far apart, and Li Kui sent out two rangers to inform the next outpost, and the signal was transmitted like this, and the speed was also very fast.

Li Kui said: "The enemy has lost more than a hundred cavalry, it is impossible not to look for it, and if you look for it, you will find here, we must be fully prepared for battle." Xu Meng, why don't you take someone back? ”

Xu Meng shook his head: "Seventy or eighty miles all the way is a plain, if the black wolf bandits bypass from somewhere, thirty or fifty people can't beat us at the level of twenty or so people, it is better to stay at the outpost for safety, the outpost courtyard wall is high, the door is very strong, and it is difficult for the black wolf bandits to get in." ”

"Okay, then let's stay and fight. Bao Xu sent a signal for our artillery to come over. Li Kui said.

Bao Xu took out the horn and blew it at the agreed frequency, and a hundred people hiding in the woods also came out, as well as more than thirty mules. These 100 people are the artillery of Li Kui's battalion, originally there were only 10 lying cow cannons and 10 tiger squat guns, considering the actual situation of Heilong Island, five lying cow cannons and five tiger squat guns were added, and now there are 100 artillery people, 15 lying cow cannons, and three soldiers are responsible for one lying cow cannon. Fifteen tiger squat cannons, three soldiers are responsible for one tiger squat cannon. To solve the problem of carrying baggage ammunition, thirty-five mules were equipped. The mule has great strength and endurance, and can carry two hundred and three hundred pounds of things.

Li Kui said: "Xu Meng, you are from the arsenal, and you don't have as much actual combat experience as me, and this battle is under my command." ”

Xu Meng said: "Okay, you command, you command." ”

This is a lot of troops, more than 600 people, relying on a strong outpost and a stone bridge to defend more than 1,000 cavalry. The forty archers in the outpost were on the third floor, where the career was more conducive to bow shooting. The two Tiger Squat Guns and the two Lying Niu Guns were all withdrawn and joined with the artillery of Li Kui's battalion. On the second floor of the outpost, only Xu Meng and his ten arquebuses were placed, and the power of the arquebus Li Kui had seen it just now, and it was indeed very powerful.

Seventeen Tiger squatting cannons are in the front, and seventeen Tiger squatting cannons are in the back. All the ammunition was assembled and waited, and the axemen and swordsmen protected the artillerymen.

The Ranger platoon commander asked, "Battalion Commander Li, what are our cavalry doing?" ”

Li Kui said: "Are you afraid of death?" ”

This platoon commander's first personal soldier Chao Gai, and later stayed on Black Dragon Island with Lu Fang, and when he heard Li Kui ask, he said: "If you are afraid of death, you won't come to Black Dragon Island, and Battalion Commander Li will have any tasks to order." ”

Li Kui brought his war horse to him, took the horse and battle axe, and said: "Follow me to lure the enemy, we have arranged it so fully, if they don't come, we will lose." ”

Li Kui arranged for Bao Xu to defend and set off with fifty rangers each.

Although Li Kui looks like a tiger, he is not stupid, he didn't rush over. The horses traveled seven or eight miles for the Rangers to blow their trumpets. As soon as the horn blew, the black wolf bandits noticed the abnormality, and a group of more than a dozen sentinels wandering nearby came.

Li Kui took advantage of it, and fifty people killed ten people, which was almost a matter of a round of divine arm crossbows. Pulled a dozen horses as trophies.

"Battalion Commander Li, their brigade is here." A soldier pointed to the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and the cavalry rushed over.

Li Kui reined in the war horse, the horse raised its hooves and screamed, Li Kui shook his axe and shouted.
