Seeing that the north gate was wide open, Nengqi led his troops to kill, and the horn sounded, and the volunteers no longer dug trenches, but formed more than ten phalanxes with battalions as units.

The infantry lined up in rows behind the trenches, and behind them, the baggage soldiers of each battalion and the cooking squad of each brigade were connecting two-wheeled carriages, rickshaws, and wheelbarrows to form a circular phalanx.

Zhang Nengqi took the lead, led the troops to assault, the volunteers formed a phalanx to meet the enemy, after half an hour of fighting, seeing that the Great Western Army was gathering more and more, Long Zhijiao and Yang Bingyi led the troops to retreat into the car formation, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

Seeing the retreat of the volunteers, the morale of the Onishi Army was high, and they were overwhelmingly killing the car formation.

The volunteers took the battalion as a unit and relied on the vehicle formation as a cover, and everyone hid behind the vehicle formation, constantly firing guns and artillery to return fire.

Seeing that the scene was unfavorable, Long Zhijiao and Yang Bingyi personally led the cavalry squadron of the escort brigade to respond to stabilize the situation.

After retreating to the camp, Yang Bingyi stood under the watchtower car, and the staff officers on the watchtower car kept communicating with the Chinese army tent in the distance through the flag.

The Great Western Army was menacing, trying in vain to rely on the numerical advantage to break the volunteers who retreated into the formation, and seeing the battalion in the frontal battle fall into passivity, Yang Bingyi could no longer sit still.

Let the sub-supervision army command the regiment belong to the six Fran machine guns, command the battalions below, because the regiment headquarters is stationed on the middle of a hillside, the field of vision is broad, and the iron mold casting Fran machine guns can hit far and accurately, which can play a role in surprise soldiers at critical moments.

Yang Bingyi led the escort brigade to the first battalion, and saw from a distance that nearly 1,000 Great Western troops were besieging the first battalion, and everyone did not expect to kill hundreds of volunteers from the flank.

Yang Bingyi raised the self-generated bird gun in his hand, and everyone formed a dense formation, and then approached each other.

Seeing the arrival of the volunteers, the rogues were in a mess, some were ready to rush up to meet the enemy, and some felt that something was wrong and fled secretly.

When the other party rushed to seventy steps, Yang Bingyi waved his hand, and everyone let go.

Unlike the ordinary arquebusier, the autogenous bird gun is actually a flintlock pistol, which does not need to be lit with the arquebus, and it is very easy to hide itself on the battlefield, one by one without worrying about igniting each other's gunpowder, and the formation is more dense.

Due to the close proximity, there were many casualties in the front.

Although the Volunteers had bird guns in their hands, these rogues were not afraid, and the sound of bird guns subsided for a while, and then they wanted to take advantage of the reload time to pounce and fight in close quarters.

But the Volunteers used to use a three-stage strike, in which the musketeers stood in three rows, with the first row kneeling, the second half crouching, and the third standing up and shooting at a distance.

This required that the musketeers be well trained, and after the continuous expansion of the Volunteers in this year, there were not many qualified bird-gunners, so the stacking method was adopted.

All Bird Gunners are assessed, and only those who pass the assessment can be fired on the battlefield.

For some inaccurate shooting, often a bird gunner with two assistants, everyone in the back of the gunpowder lead, loading the primer, while the bird gunner is only responsible for shooting.

In the distance, some rogues rushed over again, and gunfire began again in the back row, killing and wounding several more people.

Suddenly shot, the gang of rogues in front of them were terrified, and some of them stubbornly charged forward, but most of them were demoralized and kept retreating.

Yang Bingyi took advantage of the situation to lead his troops to kill him, and everyone put on the spurs and called the bird guns as spears, which was unexpected.

There are a large number of rogues, and except for the main general's pro-army, who wears armor for protection, the others have no protection on their bodies.

The Volunteers are completely different, abandoning the full-body iron armor, the full-body cotton armor of the cold weapon heavy infantry protection mode, the cotton armor worn on the battlefield only covers the chest, abdomen, shoulders and other key parts, just like the modern simple life jacket (no back), light weight, the ship is not too hot (only the front part), can resist the frontal attack of most weapons.

In the battle, due to the protection of cotton armor on the front, he is not afraid of ordinary sword attacks at all, and he dares to kill and rush on the battlefield, which is far from being comparable to ordinary soldiers.

In ancient times, why a well-equipped officer army could defeat a rebel army ten times its own, in addition to being well-organized, in addition to long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, the most important thing is that the officers and soldiers wear more armor and are not afraid of ordinary swords, slashes and guns.

Yang Bingyi led his troops to rush out suddenly, everyone wore simple armor to kill the past, the sound of guns and spears staggered continuously, the swords collided and sparked in all directions, during which the wounded let out a wail in their ears, looking from a distance, only to see the flesh and blood flying in front of them, and the frightened crowd retreated like a tide.

The two sides fought for half an hour, and the Great Western Army was killed and retreated half a mile away, until Zhang Nengqi led the pro-army to Fang to stabilize the formation.

Just like the introduction above, Zhang Nengqi's pro-army, everyone rode one person and one horse, wearing heavy iron armor or cotton armor all over the body, fighting on the battlefield or dismounting, or rushing to kill the opponent's infantry.

Seeing that the morale of his soldiers and horses was low and he was killed by the other party for half a mile, Zhang Nengqi couldn't stand it anymore, and personally led two thousand pro-troops to kill him.

Everyone wore thick armor and shouted all the way to kill, and the momentum was very loud.

The opponent fires arrows as he walks, and fires his guns as he goes, hoping to deter the opponent by firing continuously, and then swarm up to settle the battle.

Yang Bingyi was not afraid, reorganized the soldiers and horses, and everyone completed the formation, and met the elite soldiers and horses of the Great Western Army who rushed over.

The guards put the two tiger squat cannons one foot away from the front of the formation, and when the other party rushed to a distance of 100 steps, they lit the tiger squat cannons, and the fire was full of fire, scattered bullets in an area of two or three meters in a radius of two or three meters, and three or five people fell in front of the front.

The opponent relied on the armor on his body to protect himself from the arrows and charged forward, and when he was sixty or seventy paces, the horn sounded, and the bird-gunners lined up in three horizontal rows opened fire in turns.

Although they were wearing cotton armor and some were wearing iron armor, they couldn't stop the bird's guns from shooting at close range, and those who were shot fell to the ground one after another, screaming loudly from behind and rushing over.

In this way, the third rushed to the front of the battle at the cost of more than ten casualties, but was soon surrounded by the volunteers who arrived later, and the two sides fought together.

Although the soldiers of the Volunteer Army on the battlefield were brave, after all, there were few people, and although the Great Western Army was numerous, except for a few pro-troops under the governors who had good defenses and high fighting spirits, those Huguang soldiers and Sichuan guards who came here did not have the heart to fight to the death at all.

In the past two years, the food in the army has been poor, and the porridge has been drunk every day, and now the weather is hot in the summer, and the sun is fighting, and there are many heat strokes.

On the other hand, the volunteers, because most of them came from the countryside, were able to eat faint food every once in a while after enlisting in the army, and their bodies were far from being comparable to those of the Great Western Army, which lacked food and clothing.

In the face of midsummer, the other party waited for work, although Zhang Nengqi was unwilling in his heart, he was helpless.

Although the volunteers are few but wear simple armor, although there are many rogues, they have no defenses except for the main general and the pro-army who wear armor, and they have armor and no armor on the battlefield, and their momentum is obviously stronger than that of the other party.

The two sides fought back and forth under the scorching sun, but neither could win the absolute superiority on the battlefield, and it was difficult for them to fundamentally defeat the other party.

That night, they each collected their troops and returned to the camp, and Zhang Nengqi and Zhang Wenxiu were stationed outside the north gate to fight the field, forming a confrontation with the volunteers.
