Jizhou, Hucheng, the guerrilla army that has been advancing vigorously, finally met again, the enemy who dared to take the initiative to face the battle, their mighty array, meandering in the wilderness of the lower reaches of Zhangshui.

Therefore, under the absolute disadvantage, the pioneer group that went out only made a slight tentative attack, fought a few rounds of volleys and retreated, taking both sides of the road as the baseline, and began to dig trenches on the spot.

When he saw the enemy formation in front of him, he immediately covered it with all his strength as if he was inspired by something. So when my own team arrived at a rapid pace, the men and horses in the front and left flanks were already in the middle of a battle.

The arrows flying in the sky, the sound of guns and shoots rolling like hidden thunder, mixed with the sound of countless swords and soldiers fighting head-on. Wave after wave of enemies were repulsed, scattered, and replaced by new ones.

The lack of unity of command and disorder turned out to be a temporary advantage for the other side, so I decided to invest new weapons to break this temporary stalemate.

I don't have any more time to delay here and then snowball into some kind of long-pitched positional warfare.

Therefore, Kong Jiji led a group of people, and after concocting it for a while.

I could only hear it, and several columns of smoke flew up, pulled out an oblique parabola, whistling through the air, and fell unhurriedly into the crowd of people who were far away from the enemy formation, and had no time to dodge, and suddenly exploded a cloud of smoke and screams.

"Still off the ......"

Seeing the actual killing effect with my own eyes, I couldn't help but sigh.

This is a shrunken version of the Congreve rocket for the "Flying Fire Thunder", which is said to be one of the few precious legacies handed down by the predecessor of the time-traveler hundreds of years ago.

It is also the standard equipment of the important striking force in the Shenji Army, the heavy weapon of the Southern Dynasties, although most of the scientific and technological trees and basic theories related to firearms at the beginning have been incomplete after a long period of turmoil and anecdotes.

However, the Southern Dynasties relied on huge national strength and technological investment to forcibly make up for the details and deficiencies of this weapon, and embarked on another practical way.

For example, the sealing process of the iron rubber shell, the porcelain powder friction type pull fuse, the finely researched and proportioned propellant, the perfusion incendiary warhead and the specially configured refined fire oil are all ready-made foundations that can be used for reference.

It's just that limited by the cost of technology and materials, or some artificial monopoly factors, has not been popularized in the army on a large scale, but only as an exclusive weapon of the Divine Machine Army. From the task of performing long-range suppression in the field.

Since I privately obtained a batch of samples from the warehouse of the Shenji Army in Anyuan Prefecture, I also dismantled and analyzed them privately, and finally obtained them after irreparably damaged dozens of finished products.

The length and thickness of the projectile, which originally only required a load on the back of a horse, was reduced to half the height that a soldier could carry on his back and march, and the projectile body and medicine head could be separated, although only in these details.

Behind it was the hard work of precision craftsmanship and the difficulty of multiplying, as well as the doubling of the cost compared to the prototype, so this time I only brought more than 100 pieces as a finished product for field tests.

This time, these short-launched rockets were brought across Hebei as an extension and supplement to the artillery firepower.

Although it is still a little unsatisfactory in terms of accuracy and walking rate, it can only rely on the movable guide rail and the set curvature to complete the probability strike within the blur radius.

But at least it can be used to hit fixed targets such as ramparts, or to bombard the depth of large-scale arrays, and it is still quite effective.

Because the number is too small, the actual lethal effect is limited, and more often it is a deterrent and threat.

For example, cover and coordination, the grenadier sequence of rushing forward, suppressing and expelling the defenders from near and far, hiding in the fortress.

Or, force the enemy's dense defensive line to be broken up and dispersed, and then supplemented by a firecracker team, which can be densely discharged and deeply killed, completely disrupting or tearing apart the battle line, and creating an opportunity for the advance team to break through and fight.

I conceived so, but I suddenly found that at this moment of my distraction, the thickest part of the enemy formation had been successfully broken in two under the onslaught of the grenadiers assembled in this formation.

The soldiers who fought in it formed a hollow phalanx with a team as a unit, covering and supporting each other with firearms and knives and spears, like a huge jack, and slowly drove most of the cracked enemy formation to both sides.

The smoke and dust from the explosives thrown by the grenadiers towards the crowd formed a kind of curtain wall to block the enemy position.

Although I don't know what the reason is to support them to continue fighting, it is clear that the battle situation has begun to become clear after only sixty percent of the military strength under my command has been invested.

At this time, suddenly the trumpet in the distance hummed, and the black and oppressive smoke and dust came in a hurry, but it was the enemy who still had a backhand, and I couldn't help but squint my eyes,......

The same time, miles away,

Zhang Bangchang, who was the governor of Hebei Province, was looking at the head of Xindu City, waiting for the direction of the fierce battle, and the latest news sent down like flowing water.

After he shrank his troops, he originally just held a certain conservative mentality, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, and only wanted to fortify the city and protect himself, wait for the enemy to attack for a long time, or plunder, and then do some remedial measures to prove his deeds of fighting hard but defeating the enemy.

However, as if God had opened his eyes, after receiving the support of a new force from the northwest to the south, he quickly moved from a certain low tide and depression to another extreme of some excitement, eager to fight a good battle with the invading enemy.

In this way, no matter the result of the day, whether it is pursuing or retreating, the loss of teachers and land in various parts of Hebei has a reason that can be defended, after all, he is the Zhang family, the son and nephew of Da Se, and there are still differences in whether he is unable to catch it, or whether he is guilty of sitting on the enemy to avoid war.

Therefore, with rare courage and determination, he generously armed and strengthened the new force that was going south from the existing men and equipment, and made up the size of three armies.

Using the most stupid and laborious method, he rushed on the front line of the Zhanghe River, full of beacons and camps, and guarded the invading enemy on the spot. One touch and the whole line perturbates.

Then, as if luck was on his side of judgment again, he gambled on the right direction, and sure enough, he collided head-on with most of the attacking Southern Army, and then, in response to the needs of the front, added troops and baggage.

When he began to think about how to show affection to Luo Du after repelling this "invincible", it was the most appropriate, and he only felt that his chest was full of pearls and all kinds of strategizing words.

Suddenly, there were several piercing noises in the distance, which immediately stirred his stomach full of ideas and preparations into a pulp, and he couldn't help but curse damn. Then I reacted again, this movement was too unusual.

"Report ...... Governor"

A stumbling Yu Hou ran over out of breath

"There were thieves mixed in with the people who were transporting them, and they attacked the east gate with firearms......

"The battalions stationed outside the city are already in an uproar......
