Chapter 2 The White Lotus Banner is coming, and the meteor rocket is flying

But he said that he was in front of the battle, and when Chen Xi was really suspicious, he only heard that in the 3,000 Liangshan army on the opposite side, three horns and cannons sounded, and Hu Sanniang's white lotus banner was erected, and all the military horses shouted loudly. Chen Xi was really happy when he saw it, and the demon girl was really in the array.

Seeing the flags in the formation together, I saw one or two hundred soldiers coming out of the formation, so I arranged for third-class artillery stones to be prepared at the place in front of the formation, the first was the wind cannon, the second was the golden wheel cannon, and the third was the sub-mother cannon, there were always twenty or thirty guns. Chen Xizhen hurriedly looked at the time, only to see that a general there shouted left and right, and ordered the army to straighten out the gun mount, and went straight to the front of the battle to erect it.

There were people who recognized it left and right, so they said to Chen Xizhen: "The one who placed the artillery in front of the array was Ling Zhen, the sky-bombarding cannon from the capital. Before he could say anything, he saw that the front artillery fired to the north. Chen Xizhen scolded: "Ling Zhen is a thief, and he actually taught the thief Kou to set off this cannon." Although he scolded, his heart was a little calm, just because he saw that the artillery arranged in front of the formation was sparse, but there were only twenty or thirty guns, how could he help?

When the officers and soldiers saw that the cannons were fired on the opposite side, the generals of the various departments tried their best to restrain their military horses, and Chen Xi really ordered someone to invite Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo to come and discuss. When they were young, both of them arrived, and Chen Xi really said: "What did you say about the Heavenly Realm Thunder Weapon before, it was just the artillery that Ling Zhen brought from the capital. Although he doesn't have many cannons there, he can deter the military formation, and the priests are terrified, how to break his artillery array? ”

Guan Sheng said: "I and General Huyan are on both wings, but each point 1,000 light cavalry horses will rush to his front first, I see that her formation is also full of light cavalry and military horses, and when I see my light cavalry horse forward, I will definitely come to meet the enemy and guard the artillery array." After we waited for the light horse to ride fast and rushed forward to strangle one place, she would not dare to fire another cannon with a rat trap, so that Chen Tongzhi could drive the 5,000 heavy armored infantry army forward. The rest of the horses then covered up and killed, and they could be broken with one blow. It's rare that the demon girl is in the middle of the battle this time, and she can be captured in one go! ”

Hu Yanzhuo also said: "General Guan's strategy is very clever. Chen Xizhen also said: "I will act according to General Guan's policy." "After the moment is decided. Then they each returned to the battle to prepare.

However, he said that in front of the Liangshan formation, he kept firing artillery, but only twenty or thirty artillery fires came, which was very sparse and inaccurate. Except for more than a dozen unlucky officers and soldiers who were killed by artillery shots, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers stood still under the extreme restraint.

After Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo returned to the formation, they ordered Xuanzan and Han Tao to each point a thousand horse troops, and at the beginning of the banner, a thousand horse troops flew out of each wing to grab the front artillery array. The artillery array in front of the Liangshan array saw the horse army on both sides rushing towards it, and they were all in a panic, and they barely let go of a few cannons, but they did not stop the official army horse team, so they only shot down a few horses in the horse army formation. When it was time to reload, the official army and horse teams were no more than a hundred paces apart.

Sure enough, as Guan Sheng said, seeing the official army and horse team rushing forward, the two thousand horse troops behind the Liangshan array came out of the two wings, stepped forward to meet the enemy, and the 1,000 infantry army stayed in the Chinese army. Xuanzan and Han Tao led the horses to fight in one place, and the Liangshan artillery array saw that the two armies were fighting in one place, and they really threw rat traps and did not dare to fire the cannon again.

Chen Xi was really overjoyed to see it, and immediately led five thousand heavy armored infantry troops with Zhang Muyun out of battle. It's on both wings. Guan Sheng also twisted his beard when he saw it and laughed: "The demon girl must have listened to Ling Zhen's boasting, and thought that Ling Zhen's cannon was invincible, or she only saw Ling Zhen fire a few cannons, so she thought it was something amazing." Therefore, I asked for a big deal, and I came to the front of the battle, and this trip was just before the battle to catch her! ”

Hao Siwen was silent on the side, and Guan Sheng only said: "Don't worry, brother Xian, you just misbelieved the words of the demon girl and Ling Zhen, if you make meritorious service before today's battle." If I am promoted, I will definitely be able to teach the virtuous brother to be reinstated. ”

Hao Siwen shook his head and said: "Brother carefully, that demon girl is as cunning as a fox, how can Ling Zhen's twenty or thirty small cannons block tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, how can she not know?" It seems to me that they are tempting me to come forward, and there must be an ambush ahead. ”

Guan Sheng said unhappily: "If you are afraid, you will lead more than a thousand infantry troops to stay here." After that, he ignored Hao Siwen, and then lit a group of military horses and rushed out with Chen Xizhen's 5,000 heavy armored infantry troops. On the other side, Hu Yanzhuo was also like this, just because Peng Xi persuaded him, Hu Yanzhuo ignored it, and left Peng Xi to lead more than 1,000 infantry troops behind, and he picked up the army and came out of the formation.

Seeing that tens of thousands of officers and troops were overwhelmingly crushed, in the middle was the 5,000 heavy armored infantry army, and in the front of the three miles wide, the officers and troops were like an ironclad city, and they pressed straight over, like a black cloud covering the ground, and the sound was magnificent, and the three thousand Liangshan military horses on the opposite side suddenly looked like a lonely boat in the waves.

Seeing the officers and troops coming, a gong sounded in the Liangshan Central Army, and the more than 1,000 infantry troops of the Chinese Army first hugged the White Lotus Banner and fled, and the 1,200 soldiers in the artillery array also left those artillery pieces and fled to the water's edge. The two thousand horsemen in front heard the sound of the gong, and they all walked back.

Seeing that the three thousand Liangshan military horses were only looking at the water's edge and fleeing, Chen Xi really laughed and said: "This demon girl also has today, I want the army to catch up quickly, and Hugh will let her escape back by boat again!" "Urge the military horses at the moment and hurry up together.

I saw that a group of infantry troops from Liangshan rushed to the water's edge, where there were dense layers of reeds, and the 1,000 infantry troops rushed into the reeds and disappeared. When I was young, I only heard three horn cannons, and the reed ponds were all lying on the ground, and I saw that in the reeds that were wide and several miles here, there were actually arranged a wooden frame made of bamboo and wood, on which stood a bamboo long stick, about a few feet long, but at the top was an arrow bamboo pipe on it, there were always more than 1,000 waiting there, and the more than 1,000 infantry troops who rushed back were all standing behind the bamboo frame.

Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers are only far away from each other, and they can see this piece of bamboo frame, but they don't know what it is, but they can only hear three horns sounding, and they see that behind the bamboo frame, a group of Liangshan infantry soldiers began to light torches, and they lit the fuse behind the long bamboo arrows.

When I was young, I saw that in the reeds, tens of thousands of meteors rose into the sky, crossed the sky, and with a sharp whistling sound, they rushed straight to the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who rushed to the opposite side. Exactly: 10,000 meteors fell to the ground, and the smoke of gunpowder pierced the sky. The stormy waves swept in, and the sea of fire rose for thousands of miles.

When they saw that more than 1,000 bamboo arrows were dragging a long tail flame and rushing straight towards them, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers all stopped their steps and just looked up blankly. I saw that more than 1,000 long flame bamboo arrows, like meteors falling to the ground, were smashing in the official army array, and a loud noise came in the array, followed by a burst of flame light in front of me, accompanied by the heat wave of the explosion, mixed with countless iron pieces and steel nails, scattered and splashed, bringing a bloody storm and rain when landing. Just because the official and military formations are densely arranged, a single rocket can kill and injure a large number of people.

Chen Xizhen was stunned behind the formation, and muttered to himself, "This is the Heavenly Realm Thunder Weapon?" Before he could say anything, through the firelight in front of the formation, he saw that in the reeds, another meteor rose up, rushing straight to the back, Chen Xizhen was shocked: "This thing can be put back so quickly?" Zhang Muyun hurriedly pulled Chen Xizhen's horse head and shouted: "Commander, hurry up, that thunder weapon is coming to us!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Xizhen and Zhang Muyun were not able to turn their horses and escape, the second rocket arrived, one of them exploded near the two left, Zhang Muyun hurriedly pulled Chen Xizhen off the horse, the two hid behind the war horse, only to see a blood red in front of them, the war horse screamed, and fell to the ground with a bang, two were caught in the flames, the beard and the robe were all burned, and the two rolled on the spot a few times before the flames on their bodies were extinguished.

When Chen Xizhen and Zhang Muyun stood up to look, there was a terrible scene like a sea of flames and blood in front of them, after the 5,000 heavily armored infantry were covered by more than 2,000 rockets, the dead and wounded, the fires were lit everywhere, and the screams of the wounded soldiers could be heard everywhere.

At the reed dang, when Liangshan fired two rocket salvos, blowing up the formation of the officers and the heavy infantry army, Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng's military horses on both wings were heartbroken, and they stopped together. Xuanzan and Han Tao were in front of the two leading horses, and they also stood still, and after seeing that the Chinese army was attacked by rockets, they all shouted together and shouted at the military horses to retreat in a hurry.

After Guan Sheng saw the power of the rocket in the array, he was also stunned, and only said after a while: "It turns out that everything Brother Hao Xian said is true, this is the Heavenly Thunder Weapon." After Hu Yanzhuo saw it, he grew up and couldn't speak, and only said after a while: "That demon girl has such a sharp weapon, how can she match it in the future?" Is it really heaven and I'm dead? ”

At this moment, the reeds swung there, and a rain of fire and meteors rose, rushing straight to Hu Yanzhuo's left flank, Hu Yanzhuo panicked, and hurriedly ordered the troops to scatter and flee. Huyanzhuo's soldiers, without a fight, were in chaos, and at the time of the chaos, more than 1,000 rockets fell, and Huyanzhuo's left-wing officers and troops were suddenly shrouded in a sea of fire.

Guan Sheng saw it there, hurriedly played the banner, and led the army to retreat, before Guan Sheng's military horses retreated, a meteor rain struck in the reeds, and the general volcanic flame sea hit, and Guan Sheng's right wing military horses were also blown up.

After four rounds of rocket rain, the formation of the officers and soldiers was already scattered, mourning all over the field, and the remaining officers and soldiers were as sluggish as chickens. The 2,000 horse troops of Liangshan behind them chased after them from behind, and they killed tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in defeat.

It was three miles away from the reeds and water, and a high platform was set up here, Sanniang sat in the middle on the platform, Huang Wenbing and Gongsun Sheng were on both sides, and a group of Liangshan generals around them were watching the battle on both sides. When they saw four showers of fire and rain meteors and broke the official army, all the generals were also silent and stunned.

When he was young, Huang Wenbing was the first to come back to his senses and asked in a trembling voice: "Dare to ask the lord, what is this artifact?" Sanniang smiled faintly, shook the sun and moon and said: "This thing was originally called Congreve Rocket in the Heavenly Realm, and now it is renamed Ben Thunder Rocket in my place, and a total of 6,000 rockets have been produced, and I don't want to use only 4,000 to defeat the instructor army." Well, the next time I teach the craftsman to add more fire-starting things, the effect may be better. (To be continued.) )
