Standing on the hill, Yang Lin held a monocular and talked eloquently, which was really exciting.

At this moment, Wu Dazhu next to him pulled the corner of his clothes, and following the direction of his finger, Yang Lin looked around, only to see smoke and dust billowing in the west, and the sound of horses' hooves.

Yang Lin was shocked, the monocular in his hand fell to the ground, and he said with his hand on his chest: "Zhang Dingguo still can't bear it, and he led his pro-army to raid our Chinese army so early, which is really beyond the general's expectations." ”

Qian Bangzhi's face turned pale, and he pointed to the smoke and dust: "My lord, the flow is very strong, do you need to order Feng Youqing and Ma Mingluan on the other side to cross the river to solve the urgent need." ”

At the same time as marching towards Shehong, Yang Lin ordered Feng Youqing and Ma Mingluan, who were stationed in Pengxi, to arrive on the other side of the river, so that the battle could be stalemate and enter the battle as a surprise army.

Thinking that the situation on the battlefield was stable just now, Yang Lin had just ordered his troops to cross the river upstream, and now it seemed that there was only a temporary change of order.

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and everyone's breathing became more and more compact, or observing the emotions of everyone, the guerrilla general next to him, Bu Ning, kowtowed: "My lord, if I lead the cavalry to rush over, I will fold it first." ”

Taking a deep breath secretly, Yang Lin shook his head and said, "General Bu, don't be in a hurry, the cavalry is good for fast maneuvering, and Li is for outflanking on both flanks."

Our escort regiment now has four infantry battalions, plus 400 personal escort battalions, and its combat strength is far from being comparable to that of other units.

Each battalion was self-contained, with a horse-repellent pit dug on the outside and carriages on the inside, forming two natural barriers.

Although Zhang Dingguo is a fierce general, it is expected that it will be even more difficult to break through the double-layer hollow array that I carefully arranged. ”

Seeing this, Yao Chonglie next to him arched his hand and said: "My lord, Zhang Dingguo shot the divine crossbow Zhang Ling at the age of twenty, and at the age of twenty-one, he led twenty-six horses to break through Xiangyang City, and his courage is far beyond the comparison of ordinary rogues.

My lord, don't be too careless, or I will leave the more than 20 riders close to the adults, and I will take care of them when the time comes. ”

Yang Lin smiled awkwardly, although he was so nervous in his heart, but the courage of the generals, how could he not show his timidity, he didn't think about it, Yang Lin shook his head and said: "Everyone, I understand everyone's kindness."

When the time comes, you can rest assured that as long as you fight well, the safer I will be here. ”

Hearing this, although Bu Ning and Yao Chonglie were unwilling in their hearts, they had no choice.

The big tent was set up on a small hillside, and in order to boost morale, Yang Lin personally operated the cannon, and after a shelling in the distance, he stood on the top of the mountain to watch the battle.

But the opposing cavalry had already dispersed, lined up in five rows, each more than twenty meters apart, and was now pressing from the east.

To the east was a guard battalion led by Wang Gao, and when he saw the opposing cavalry coming, at a distance of three hundred paces, his men withdrew more than ten bazookas and fired arrows into the distance.

In the era of cold weapons, the bow and crossbow were the nemesis of the cavalry, but the bow and crossbow were one arrow at a time, and the power was slightly insufficient.

The bazooka is such a sharp weapon, although the accuracy is not high, but it can shoot more than 50 bows and arrows at once, which can often deter the opponent.

Unexpectedly, the volunteers had such sharp weapons, and the marching cavalry formation was slightly frustrated.

However, although Zhang Dingguo is not very old, he has been in the army since he was a child, and now after seeing the setback of the formation, he did not pause at all, and immediately sounded the horn of attack.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the various units of the Great Western Army rushed forward as if they had been beaten with blood.

Seeing this, Wang Gao hurriedly ordered the artillery to be fired, and the four Franco cannons behind him were fired continuously, although the pace of the opponent's attack was disrupted, but the soldiers and horses behind continued to surge.

Although there is a horse rejection pit in front of it, which can ensure safety, Wang Gao led two brigades to release guns behind the horse rejection pit, but the opponent's momentum is very large, even if someone in front falls into the horse rejection pit, the back is even more pounced.

All of a sudden, the sound of gunfire mingled with the neighing of horses falling into the trench and the wailing of wounded soldiers.

However, the impact of the Great Western Army was too fierce, and many people continued to rush to kill despite being shot.

Wang Gao held the sword in his hand, and led the pro-soldier team to march in the back, and behind him will be the adult's 200-pro-military camp, and everyone will not retreat.

But one gun and one son, although hundreds of people took turns to launch, but in the face of the swarming Great Western Army, they couldn't resist it at all.

Due to the small barrel and light lead, even if it is shot at a long distance, it is exhausted and has limited lethality, and although it can break heavy armor at close range, many lead particles remain in the superficial skin and do not penetrate the internal organs.

After Zhang Xianzhong's edification, the crazy belligerence has long been immersed in his main force of personal soldiers, although some people were hit by lead, but they still fought desperately regardless of the pain, and the momentum on the battlefield was very amazing.

Although there is a horse rejection pit in front, the enemy cavalry behind does not care about the soldiers who fell into the horse pit, everyone fights horses and rushes to kill, even if some follow and fall into the pit, they are not afraid.

Looking at the several war horses that fell in the pit, and watching the riders behind them step forward and follow one another, some soldiers felt a palpitation.

After the initial confusion, the Great Western Army resumed its offensive again, and because the horse rejection pits had been filled in some places, the riders behind actually stepped on the corpses of war horses to kill.

The squad leader shouted loudly to stop everyone from panicking.

Ignoring the momentum of the galloping war horse, someone bent down and picked up a rattan card to cover his head, and held a chopping knife in his hand and swung it at the thigh of the galloping war horse.

Others raised their spurs and stabbed their horses with all their might.

And in the distance, someone hid behind and continued to release cold guns.

The surrounding Great Western Army gathered more and more, and except for the Wang Zhibang Surrender Barracks by the sea, all the other battalions were engaged in battle.

Although the Volunteers have the advantage of rejecting the horse pit, although each person has a bird gun, but the other side is outnumbered, the Zhang Dingguo Department alone has more than 3,000 people, if you add the Bai Wenxuan Department, it reaches 4,000 people, of which more than half are cavalry, and the other half are infantry on horseback.

Under his leadership, everyone continued to assault, and the escort regiment was the first to resist, but as the infantry of the Great Western Army dismounted to fight, the situation on the battlefield slowly reversed.

After fighting two pillars of incense, the horse rejection pit could no longer resist the impact of the enemy's cavalry, Wang Gao, Wu Daniu, Du Jigui and others had to lead their troops to retreat to the chariot formation, hoping to use the chariot formation to block the opponent's impact.

Holding the binoculars, Yang Lin couldn't believe it, although firearms were less powerful in this era, why would the bombed soldiers continue to rush to kill regardless of the pain?

If you don't see it in person, the battlefield situation is unimaginable, and it is incredible that the soldiers of the Great Western Army actually rushed over to kill the corpse of the war horse that fell into the horse rejection pit.

Qian Bangqi's face was full of cards, and he kept urging, now is the time for the cavalry to assault, the two cavalry regiments of Bu Ning and Yao Chonglie have nearly 1,000 horsemen, and if they assault, they can rush to kill them.

Yang Lin shook his head and said, "Qian Jian Jun, the biggest problem of the literati is that they take it for granted. The fierce battle was only half an hour, and the morale of both sides was high, if a sudden counterattack was launched, although it could relieve the pressure on the escort group, the occupation might be stalemate. ”

Yin Chengqi next to him also persuaded: "Qian Jian Jun, life and death are at stake before the two armies, are you in a hurry?" But adults have adult considerations, so of course we will sacrifice our lives to accompany the gentleman. ”

Qian Bangqi gritted his teeth, but turned his head and saw Yang Lin's solemn look on his face, and he couldn't bear to say anything more.

Yang Lin was at war with heaven and man in his heart, seeing that the enemy cavalry was constantly assaulting, and Wang Gao, Wu Daniu, Du Jigui and others had already gone into battle with their bare arms to fight with each other, they couldn't bear it in their hearts, gritted their teeth, and let the staff officers around him light the wolf smoke.

With the wolf smoke as the number, the cavalry of Bu Ning Yao Chonglie guarded the baggage battalion, and now they have killed one after another, killing the Great Western Army.

Seeing that the opponent's last trump card was exhausted, Zhang Dingguo laughed, the place of wolf smoke must be where the head of the volunteer army is, and he has been fighting for a long time, and now he has discovered the location of the center.

With a wave of his hand, Bai Wenxuan led his own soldiers to meet him to stop the volunteer cavalry, while Zhang Dingguo led more than 100 personal soldiers to kill the hill.

Everyone was shocked, and Qian Bangxin even grabbed the placket of his clothes and asked to escape.

Yang Lin shook off his arm fiercely, pointed to the scene of the fight and said: "Chen Huaixi has completed the construction of the pontoon bridge with more than 20 transport ships, and Feng Youqing and Ma Mingluan will lead the troops to arrive immediately.

Yang Cheng, Long Zhijiao, Yang Bingyi and others also defeated the Great Western Army and could return to help at any time.

Although Wang Gao, Niu Dayong, Du Jigui and others are in a crisis, they can still do their best to support them.

It is often at the last moment that determines the outcome of the battle, although Zhang Dingguo has the courage of ten thousand people, but how can we give up such a big situation for our own safety. ”

Qian Bangxin wiped the beads of sweat on his face and said, "Although what the adults said is good, it is difficult to quench the thirst of the distant water." ”

Next to him, Yin Chengqi arched his hand and said: "My lord, although the Wang Zhibang battalion is composed of surrendered soldiers, but since he surrendered to my volunteer army, my lord has not treated everyone badly.

And in the past year, Zhang Xianzhong's various behaviors have been indignant to the gods and people, and he is willing to persuade everyone to come to reinforcements. ”

After thinking about it, Yang Lin said yes.

After Yin Chengqi left, Yang Lin blocked the mountain pass, arranged obstacles, and personally led a pro-soldier brigade to resist.
