In the north of Luodu City, the battle is still in full swing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Through the gap in the front row, looking at the smoke and dust raised by the oncoming Northern cavalry, the young soldier Meng Lin only felt that the palm of his hand that was just holding the fire gun had become sweaty and slippery, his breathing was a little short and his heart and eyes were pulled tightly.

Although he had faced many battles, he still couldn't help but feel dry and bitter in his mouth, but he couldn't secrete a trace of saliva to moisturize, but could only swallow mechanically in his throat, using the last bit of reason and courage to control his body, not allowing himself to turn around and run away immediately, or sit down with weak legs and feet.

Only the repeated transmission of passwords around him and the sound of the military horn in the far left can give him a sense of security and steadfastness in the midst of waiting and suffering.

It was easy to hear the whistle on the left, and the fire gun with spikes in his hand was raised by Amnesty, and the gap between the front lines stretched out from their shoulders to aim at the enemy horsemen who were rushing towards them, and the trembling of his hands and the trembling of his teeth in his mouth were also turned into a brief and calm concentration at this moment by a certain conditioned reflex that came from his bones.

He even thought a little about what the veteran Chen Longxiang had said, how to distinguish and judge the enemy's experience in the battle;

A swarm of enemies is best dealt with, and they barely have a chance to stumble over their own corpse from forty or fifty paces before they reach the battle;

The second is those enemies who are in the first formation of an array and charge loosely, which are almost the best living targets, as long as they kill the first batch of deaths, the rest will collapse without a fight

As for the enemies who dare to gather together and cover each other's slow advance, the most troublesome, often require a close-quarters white-knuckle recoil, paying a considerable price to disperse and repel them.

It is said that only elite enemy cavalry can carry out this kind of wall charge with small gaps side by side with precise training and coordination.

Therefore, at this moment, Meng Lin seemed to be able to smell the faint smell of dust in his mouth and nose.

Finally heard the second short whistle, relieved to pull the trigger in his hand, only to feel half a breath of "long" delay, against the shoulder of the wooden support under the backseat recoil shock,

After this shot, standing in the thick smoke of the firelight, Meng Lin even the slightly heavy pole in his hand seemed to become a lot easier.

Then he put it diagonally down and crossed the body, began to hold his breath and quickly opened the breech of the bolt, filled it with sub-medicine and closed it, plugged the half of the tin foil fire cap on the fire hole and fastened it with a reed, broke the pressure spring of the hammer, and entered the state of readiness again.

There were also people who wanted to use the strip to clear their chests, but they were stopped by the shouts of the veterans around them, and Meng Lin remembered that the refined gunpowder and tin foil fire caps they used now were no better than the previous front-loading flintlock guns and paper-wrapped medicine primers, and at least twenty or thirty rounds were needed before there could be carbon deposits and dirt that needed to be cleaned up.

The second time I fired at the enemy in the smoke, the symptoms of hand trembling and tooth trembling had mostly disappeared, but the results of the first cavalry had already been revealed, and the order of those wall-like enemy cavalry had changed and become slightly loose.

And this time, after the volley, he could finally see clearly, and the blood flowers bloomed on the bodies of the people and horses opposite, like an invisible sieve filtering through them, and a cloud of smoke and dust rolling on the horse's back, quickly filtered out many figures that continued to gallop.

And the swords and guns that they raised diagonally against the heads of their horses shook in their hands, but they could already clearly reflect the light on the faces of the front row of the soldiers.

At this time, the third and fourth rounds of loaded volleys could not wait to fly out; The results of the battle began to appear in front of them more intensively, like layers of peeled fruits and vegetables, and the cavalry rolled and stumbled on their backs, falling one by one under the hooves of the horses that came forward one after another.

However, under the tremendous momentum and inertia, there were enough leaps to slip through the net, and Tima rushed in front of them, almost under the cover of his mount and hand, to break through the last bit of obstruction and threat before the formation, and crashed into the line of white soldiers who stood and raised their spears.

The huge sound of impact and the overwhelming darkness shrouded the sky, and in the front row where the young Meng Lin was, the sudden explosion of swords and guns and the destruction of flesh and bones, moans and screams filled Meng Lin's vision and hearing in an instant, and took away the strength and courage of his whole body again.

He could only mechanically raise the spur upwards, instinctively holding the butt of the gun with the greatest strength of his body according to the rules; Then he felt as if the sharp tip had stabbed a tough and heavy thing, and then the tremendous reaction force knocked him down and crushed him to the ground.

And the thorns stuck in his hand seemed to be driven by strong inertia to break, like a leather bag that had been punctured hard, and a large mass of warm and wet things was rolled down and poured on his head and face, and the heavy smell made him almost suffocate.

When he was dizzy and slowly pulled out of the weight of the disemboweling organs of the huge horse corpse on his body, all he could see was that the scattered array of people who had been rushed near the left was supporting the wounded with the team flag and the fire flag, shrinking and gathering into a horizontal team with a smaller contact surface.

Then several horizontal teams holding flags turned each other and approached the connection, and it became a prototype of a hollow phalanx that was not very regular, and then a crumpled and stained regimental flag was raised again, indicating that this was a hollow array with a regiment as a unit, and the white soldiers in the formation were also replaced to the front.

After a moment of regrouping, the basic enemy situation was completed, and after a simple and rough groping examination of the young Meng Lin's whole body, he confirmed that there were no major injuries and picked up his weapon again and filled the array on the third layer of the periphery.

At the same time, the cavalry that had broken through several formations in the north had already shown a certain defeat and decline between these large and small hollow arrays that had been reorganized nearby, and they turned around and tried to get out of this battlefield at the sound of the horns.

At this time, another cloud of smoke and dust swirled in Meng Lin's field of vision, and he crashed into the ranks of these northern cavalry, and the swords and spears shimmered in the neighing of the people on their backs.

As a result, these northern cavalry, who still maintained the last bit of momentum and order, were also broken and scattered in the center, turning into a loose and scattered figure fighting in place under the horse.

The cavalry, which had lost its maneuver and momentum and had been divided, was no longer a decent threat and a close opponent of the Gun formation.

As an infantry team, they can even take the initiative to recoil forward in several waves, and cooperate with their own cavalry in the struggle to outflank them;

Then knock down a large group of enemies with close guns, or avoid frontal kicks and slashes in close combat, and cooperate with each other from the side and back positions to use one after another spurs to poke desperately resisting enemy horses from their horses, or stab them to death and wound them with men and horses.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

And on the north bank of Luoshui in the west of the city, outside the Dingxing Gate

"The enemy from the north has been mobilized"

Wang Duanchen scolded the gathered generals quite harshly.

"But you told me that no one can break through the obstacles on the Western Front, respond to it, seize the fighters and expand the results."

"Could it be that all the sons under your command are waiting for dry food?"

"Marshal Mingjian, this commission is really more than enough but not enough."

"The army has recently experienced a shortage of food and an epidemic, which is really difficult and exhausting."

"The front-line days have been attacked back and forth, and there are not a few injuries and battles."

"The newly recruited non-commissioned officers are undertrained and equipped."

"The soldiers still need more time to recuperate."

"It's really impossible to move in a hurry."

These generals stationed on the Western Front exchanged glances and expressions with each other, and at the same time, they couldn't help but shout aggrieved and justified.

"I don't care what your reasons and excuses are"

Wang Duanchen said in a deep voice unmoved.

"What are the thoughts and thoughts in private?"

"Immediately organize the army to attack the enemy, and the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again,。。"

"Say a thousand things and ten thousand, the great cause of the dynasty is the most important and crucial."

"Under the great cause, no one will be allowed to sit and watch the matter."

When he said this, the wind of his words suddenly changed to the heart of the people.

"Don't talk to me about Huaijun's bullshit that likes to grab credit and pick up cheap"

"If you can also disrupt the enemy's situation without the cooperation of the army, and fight a situation on your own,"

"I can also send as many people as possible from other departments to support you in expanding your victory."

In the end, Wang Duanchen looked at them coldly and said

"If you think you can't do anything, then immediately abdicate and make way for Xian"

"A certain self-determination will arrange other competent candidates, and it is good to do one or two on behalf of him"

These words were like drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and they hit the key point of these resident generals, so that they couldn't help but lose their voices and couldn't say more reasons.

Since they have said this, those generals suddenly have no way to retreat and excuses, and can only express their attitudes with sad faces and different expressions, and immediately turn around to clean up the troops and gather equipment and personnel, and are willing to go all out to open up the situation for the army.

And Wang Duanchen sighed and shook his head heavily in his heart, compared with those overseas garrisons and the old departments of Yanbian, these troops mainly from various provinces outside the mountains are obviously heavy and have accumulated a lot of disadvantages, so he was placed in a secondary place in the west of the city, and the power is to protect the rear of the Shu army, while also waiting to be slowly rectified and sorted out.

If it weren't for the old troops he brought out from the Jinghu area, most of them would have been trapped in the city and would not have been able to pull them out for a while; Why did he have to risk the possibility of being resented and rebounded, to over-force these combat generals to be able to hold on to the middle, but the background was somewhat complicated.

And Huai Jun's big move is also tantamount to indirectly forcing him to another path and choice, and under the opportunity of possibly solving or severely inflicting damage on the enemy in the north, he will not and cannot sit idly by.
