In Liaocheng County, on the banks of the Taizi River, battles and conflicts with the frontal battlefield also broke out in a tense atmosphere. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Kill all these dogs."

"Never die."

In the shouts one after another, Liu Tang, alias "Red-haired Ghost", was also crouching on the horse's back with wide eyes and trying to hold the short gun with one hand, aiming at the oncoming enemy and suddenly deducting a puff of fireworks; Suddenly, the iron shield on the other side's chest shattered, like a fish bouncing on the back of a horse, and then, when he staggered, only a corpse lying backwards on the saddle remained.

And by this time, the one in his hand had been replaced by a short spear that could be thrown and pierced, and with the inertia and momentum of the wrong body, he stuck it in the neck of the mount and pierced it into the ribs of the second enemy horseman, and picked it up with a large puff of flesh, and let it go and let it fall; At the same time, a short arrow swept over his ear, sending out a thin bead of blood from the edge of his helmet.

And he had once again grasped the thick and narrow straight-edged saber, and the water-ground brass gauntlet blocked the short broadsword that was slashed by the oblique body, and was suddenly pushed to the chest by the opponent's strong shock; In the terrible sound of the golden blade rubbing, he turned his backhand to unload the force and picked it up, and the long and straight tip of the blade was like a crack silk to cut the opponent's arm holding the knife and flew up and inserted it into the armpit.

However, the fourth cavalryman's spear was already on his heels, and he only had time to turn sideways on his horse for a moment, when he felt that the edge of the rib armor was only slightly blocked, and it was cracked by the inertia of the more powerful piercing, and it pierced through the flesh coldly.

Liu Tang could only use his elbow holding the reins to hold the spear shaft that penetrated it, and slammed it with his head with a roar, only to hear a muffled sound, and the iron pocket in front of his forehead hit a weak and brittle place; The other party's originally round face was even more sunken, and he fell to the side and was trampled by his own horses' hooves.

By this time, with the death and death of several enemy horsemen, there was already a moment of spare space around him, and then he had the spare time to turn and draw back the stabbing saber, and slash at the shaft of the spear, and in the grunt of pain broke off the excess, leaving only a small part through his body.

It was only a rather crude wooden spear, with a tapered cast-iron tip, without edges or ridges, and it did not hurt his organs, but was merely caught in a diaphragm between his ribs; But it still caused him a certain amount of damage and impact. In particular, if the tip that is prone to rust is not properly disposed of in time, it is afraid that it will become infected with severe fever and sepsis.

And in the dusty war group around him, accompanied by the sound of alternating volleys of gunfire on the horses, those scattered cavalry pioneers who were outside the Saiwai Fanhu also seemed to be well-trained to make an impromptu counterattack.

I saw that they were very shrewd before the cavalry of the Huai army brigade rushed down, they bent their bodies sideways, as if hanging on the half of the saddle, turned around and quickly detached, the arrows swished, and the tail feathers swept over them with a clearly visible trajectory, and then these Fanhu cavalry quickly moved to the saddle, pulling the strings to send out a wave of arrows back to the horse.

Suddenly, in the exchange of projectiles and arrows, from time to time there were cavalry and war horses, which were hit by arrows and missed their front hooves, and the horses rolled and fell to the ground, and the men fell to the ground, trampled by the hooves of the horses that followed.

Many troops of cavalry rushed together with great courage and violence, and then, like waves of waves, great puffs of smoke and dust were raised, blood exploded and splashed, scimitars were slashed at each other, horses were clashed against each other, cavalrymen of all kinds of clothes and armor were slaughtered, and thousands of men and horses roared like whirlpools in the whole open field.

But in more places where the trekking tribes gathered, there was a total rout, scrambling to abandon the herds guarded and driven, and fleeing in a hurry, only to be cut down, slain, trampled over, and trampled to the ground from behind. They wept and wailed like the most helpless sheep on the steppe, slaughtered and ravaged in them.

Because, at the same time that Liu Tang's cavalry successfully attracted and stumbled on the cavalry responsible for escorting Hu Cai, the other friendly troops that were poised to take advantage of the situation had already taken advantage of the situation to complete the attack, defeat, and division and encirclement of the transportation brigade that was driving cattle, horses, herds, and baggage.

Although there were some brave men mixed in, trying to gather the nearby people to do the stubborn resistance; But soon attracted more fires on the battlefield; Either they were knocked down or bombarded into a sieve by cold guns or volleys, or they were burned by the thrown fire oil bombs, or they were drenched in blood and flesh by the explosive bombs, and these gathered teams were once again scattered in panic in front of the cavalry.

The accompanying cavalry had even dismounted to complete the formation, and drove away the small groups of enemy cavalry on the periphery with a gradual volley of fire, trying to squeeze and surround them from several directions.

After the day had already passed the middle of the heavens, there was no longer any resistance in the battlefield, and there were probably more than 10,000 cows and horses that had won the thin, together with the heavy baggage and supplies they loaded, became the prisoners of this raid.

It was only before more enemy reinforcements could arrive that these Huai hunters and rangers took all the horses and bled most of the cattle and stabbed them to death, and then cut off the thumbs of all the captives, and most of the supplies were piled up and burned with oil.

Therefore, when the enemy cavalry who reacted to the sight of the pillar of smoke arrived in a hurry, all that was left was a pile of smoking remnants and a crowd of people with blood on their hands.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

And on the Liaodong city wall, I have just received news of an encounter with an enemy from other directions.

Because, at the same time as launching a frontal offensive, the enemy camp also divided its troops and sent at least two groups of men, and lightly armed to the east and west of the city to sneak into the city, just happened to be hit head-on by the troops deployed along the city wall, so two sudden fierce battles broke out one after another.

In this case, there will be three battlefields that are linked in three directions at the same time. And in the main battlefield in front of me, wave after wave of light cavalry attacks had become more numerous and larger foot charges, and then into mixed charges mixed between infantry and cavalry, and again and again slowly approaching the front line in the rapidly spreading and piling up of corpses.

They appeared so endlessly, endlessly surging and falling to the ground, and even gave me an illusion and a feeling that the other party didn't seem to care about these lives and sacrifices at all, or wanted to use the hands of our Huai army to eliminate and reduce these superfluous populations.

Although their armor and weapons are so rudimentary and shabby, and the array is so fragile and disorderly, but so many of them are piled up, it is also a big test for the projection and suppression of firepower in the preset position, at least some overheating and explosive phenomena have begun to appear in the defense line under the city, and the situation of exhaustion and anxiety has also begun to show on the faces of some young soldiers.

Just as the few small groups of light horsemen who had succeeded in crossing the trenches and the barricades, and under the siege of the bayonets behind the breastwork, they fell to the ground with a wailing cry or were overturned and dragged to the ground, and let out a certain kind of helplessness; Under the cover of a large crowd of foot soldiers, regardless of sacrifice,

The opponent's hole cards and killer weapons hidden in the crowd, a large number of firearms were finally brought up closer, but they were the "starry sky" with iron hoops on the outer ring of the iron chamber after the entire tree was hollowed out, and the leather cannon wrapped in a large amount of leather; The former can shoot gravel and broken copper, while the latter can shoot stone balls and smaller iron eggs; and even some special chain bombs and rod bombs.

However, compared with the standard firearms produced by the standardized assembly line of the Huai Army, these handmade products are really a little difficult to compliment in terms of range and accuracy. Or that these things look like old antiques found in some corner, or second-hand goods that have been used for a long time.

Therefore, they carried these household goods, and after being beaten to several groups of people, they successfully blasted out a round against the Huai army's position, and as a result, several corpses exploded on the spot, splashing the sparks and debris of the canopy like a peacock opening the screen, and pushed the soldiers standing in the row with shields on the side to protect and standby, and knocked down and affected a circle.

However, most of the projectiles and fillers that flew out were hit in trenches or on breastwalls because of hasty aiming and inaccurate charges, and apart from breaking and blowing a few flagpoles and exposing spearheads, there was almost no achievement or success.

On the contrary, taking advantage of this round of "fire suppression", those rangers who rushed to the trench at the risk of death and were tripped by the horseshoe pit, before being penetrated and knocked down by the approaching projectiles, threw arson canisters and wolf smoke balls with great difficulty, which caused some casualties and riots to the front row positions of the Huai army during the ambush.

In Liaodong City, I also remembered the loud noise and the roar of firecrackers, and it seemed that inspired by the battle outside the city, the defenders trapped in the inner city were not willing to be lonely and launched some kind of counterattack and breakthrough action again.
