The advance of the coalition's spreading cavalry group took the lead in the charge from about six hundred feet away! The herd of horses in the back stretched more than a thousand feet away, and the herd of horses that had not yet launched an attack was dense, because they were jogging and were not fast.

The sound of horses' hooves became even louder, and the shouts of killing suddenly rose, and countless iron hooves rushed out. The melody of the ambush on all sides is like an accompaniment to a cavalry charge.

At this moment, suddenly the gong joined in, followed by a loud "boom"! In the flash of gunsmoke, a ten-pound iron ball was between the horses in an instant, and it flew quickly sideways to draw a smooth parabola with a large arc, "Bang!" "The running rider didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't call out, and suddenly a piece of his head was missing! Flesh, bones, and brains splattered into the air.

Then, the second horseman behind him suddenly turned on his back, and one of the knights let out a frightened scream, and the war horse roared and rolled over. Between the lightning and flint, the iron ball hit the hard earth and stone ground, "Bang! "The lateral angle is very small, and it immediately bounces!

A party cavalryman in the rear saw the black hot iron ball fly up, but it was too fast, the speed was completely disproportionate to the human reaction, and with the howling wind, the man watched the iron ball crash into his side chest in an instant. "Bang!" He was almost knocked into the air, the sound of bones shattering was clearly audible, and he fainted immediately.

The iron ball deflected in a deflected direction, bounced on the ground a few more times, and finally slowed down and rolled on the ground. In the herd of horses, a line of people turned on their backs, and people were terrified, as if a strong wind was blowing through the wheat field.

A row of lightning flashed in the camp of the Great Sage Army, white smoke rose up, and in a few moments, the "boom ......" explosion louder than the sound of horses' hooves spread to the continuous mountains.

The herd of horses that spread across the entire hillside seemed to have encountered a curse from heaven in an instant, and it was like an earthquake and thunder, it was a sudden disaster! The crowd was in shambles, panicked shouts and screams were everywhere, bloody rain, flags collapsed and discarded.

But that's just the beginning! The second salvo of artillery fire soon unleashed an earth-shattering roar.

After the third salvo, the first artillery team to open the cannon was already busy cleaning the chamber with a brush, because the bronze cannon was very heavy and required a lot of effort...... Then he had to pour gunpowder into the chamber with a wooden barrel that had been weighed and loaded; Smear lard, stuff an iron ball wrapped in sackcloth into the barrel, and then take a wooden stick and shout and poke it in!

…… The coalition strikers were frightened by the artillery, but they couldn't stop the charge, because if they stopped, they would be hit by the horses behind! He could only rush towards the infantry formation of the Great Sage Army in a chaotic manner.

Facing the formation of a queue of the Great Sage Army, the commanders of the infantry army. The three rows in front of each commander squatted down, and the two front rows staggered and squatted, stuck the tail of the spear nearly ten feet long diagonally into the ground, and held the wooden handle with both hands; The back row carried spears on their shoulders and faced forward, ready to stab their horses.

Along the back of the gentle slope, the position is slightly higher. It was a six-platoon arquebusier.

Shi Jiang held the barrier knife and held it high: "Ready! "A crane flag at the head of the row toppled forward, waving again like a dragonfly dotting water. The first platoon of non-commissioned officers fell to one knee on the ground, and the second-row non-commissioned officers stood and raised their iron pipe firearms in unison.

"Put!" Suddenly, the row standing first sounded the sound of "crackling", and then the row kneeling alone immediately fired another volley.

On the hillside, there was a crackling sound like smashing beans everywhere, and the smoke rose in rows. The coalition cavalry charged this formation from the front, and the shock after the shelling caused confusion, and it was a disaster to get close at this time!

One of the knights shook his horse, blood splattered from his chest, and his saber flew away, and his screams were hoarse. The horses were in chaos, and their own people were also rushing and overturning.

...... crisp drum sound of "dong dong, dong ......" sounded first, and soon Heng Fu and Xiao also played in front of the Chinese army, and the golden gong also joined in, forming a very rhythmic tune; There is a slight adaptation in the song, and the drums are still beating, beating the drums in a constant rhythm, which is more suitable for the sense of rhythm of tactics.

The rear wing ironclad cavalry group, Tie Hammer heard the change of tune, immediately grabbed the spear, without pause, without nonsense, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

Zhang Jiang pointed flat ahead with his sword inlaid with gems and gold, and the flag of the Tiger Ben Army with the tiger pattern in front of him was also laid flat to the front, and the cavalry group lined up began to follow him and slowly start the horse's hooves.

The horses gradually accelerated, turning into a large herd of galloping beasts. Zhang Jiang shouted: "God bless my emperor!" ”

A shout suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Hooray! ”

The coalition cavalry was in large formation, and at this time, the depth was also bombarded and ran in panic and chaos. The cavalry group maneuvered quickly, but it was not easy to suddenly retreat in battle, because there were too many people and it would be crowded! The people in the middle are in a hurry to run, but some of the people at the back will run, and some will be confused, and it takes time to go from forward to backward, and more importantly, organization. In the face of this sudden chaos, the coalition forces were all flags, and the men and horses were staggered.

The heavy cavalry of the iron hammer took the lead in charging at high speed towards the front flank of the rebel army, and the formation was roughly in a zigzag, rushing so fast that the front end was as easy as a sharp arrow shooting through the window paper, and went straight into the enemy group. The cavalry on both wings also quickly moved in.

In the crowd of horses, galloping heavy horses roared towards the coalition army like a typhoon, and the wielding swords and guns danced in the sunlight like countless droplets of boiling water. Flesh and blood flew under the wheels of war, and tens of thousands of people shouted frantically!

The artillery was still roaring, and the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood was crumpled together. The muzzle of the gun adjusted the elevation angle and shelled the middle and tail of the coalition cavalry group 1,500 feet away. There was even more confusion in the rear, causing chaos and congestion on the entire hillside; The gap between the cavalry is relatively large, but it can't run fast when it's messed up, and if the back is too urgent, it will cause the horses to be more and more crowded! The scene was noisy and chaotic, and it was simply miserable. On the edge of the hillside, a large number of horsemen scattered and fled in all directions, regardless of military orders.

At this time, the cavalry of the Tiger Army was like a flock of sheep in the battle array, and the cavalry with high morale and anger faced a group of frightened men and horses! The subordinates of the iron hammer shouted, picked up the general long-handled horse chopping knife with both hands, caught up with the horse, aimed at the back of the Liao horse, and slashed obliquely. The light of the knife reflecting the sunlight flashed, and in the clanging sound of metal impact, the saber force penetrated the chain mail, and with a "bell" sound, blood beads splashed with a red mist.

An iron spear flew to the hip of a horse, and with a "neighing" ......, the horse fell as if it had suddenly sat down, and the knight above screamed and waved his hands.

The Iron Hammer Division advanced very quickly, only inserting the depth of the coalition army, and the battlefield was chaotic. A Liao soldier stood in front of a dead horse, holding a bloody arm in his left hand, and raised his head and cried out.

The loess was red, and in some places, blood and loess were mixed together, like mud from rain.

The melody of the drums and the sound of the golden drums played vigorously among the smoke of gunpowder, and the roaring cannons were like lightning and thunder on a sunny day, and the earth trembled.

The people were terrified by the wrath of the gods. On the battlefield in the east, many soldiers of the coalition army looked up at the sky, but saw the chaos in the mountains and fields in the north.

The infantry of the Great Sage Army was also moving with the military order, the nearest trumpet seemed to be urging, rows of two-color pennants were waving, and the air was noisy and dirty.

Li Sange and other soldiers could also understand the flag, but they didn't need to pay attention to the military orders, they just followed the shouts of the generals of the capital and followed the troops of the capital. The queue was slowly advancing in a horizontal formation towards the front, and Li Sange carried iron pipes and firearms and followed the people on the left and right.

The sword, shield, heavy infantry, and divine arm men and horses turned around and retreated in columns. Many of those brothers were covered in blood, and the smell of fish wafted from the gap in the team, and Third Brother Li was even more nervous. He has now become the first row, Rao is an elite soldier who has fought a lot of battles, and he still can't feel relaxed in this kind of battle formation of corpses and blood.

After a while, they had already bumped into the crowd of enemy soldiers who were pursuing the retreating Great Holy Army, and the men and horses spread all over the hillside. In fact, the frequent roar of the artillery had made the attack of the eastern infantry seem very hesitant, and the speed of coming up was noticeably slowed.

"Ready!" A hissing shout startled Li Sange. The brothers on the left and right knelt on one knee after hearing the order, and Li Sange also quickly knelt down to make his body shorter, and without thinking about it, he first blew the fire rope on the spark, opened the lid of the primer pot, and skillfully lifted the firearm flat.

The surging crowd of the coalition forces was only twenty or thirty paces away, and Li Sange could clearly hear their fearful and angry shouts, and could clearly see their eyes, their faces full of dirt and dust, and even the tattered armor made unevenly. A large number of faces appeared in front of him, no one knew anyone, and there was no hatred, but the evil door of the battle array was here, those who were completely innocent and hateless, but they were holding weapons, shouting and eager to crush their bones and scatter ashes! Third Brother Li believed that when they rushed in front of him, he would definitely want to chop himself into meat without hesitation!

I don't know where someone shouted: "The emperor is well-fed and well-fed to his brothers, and serving the emperor is today!" "The sons of the Han family, loyal and brave, the enemy of the Son of Heaven is our mortal enemy, and we will never be soft......"

Third Brother Li has listened a lot to these morale-boosting words, but he actually doesn't particularly care about them, because the righteousness has little to do with the fact that he may be injured by a knife and arrow at any time in front of him, and the arrows on his head are still clanging like raindrops!

However, the generous words, coupled with the resounding shouts of the armies throughout the valley, really made people's blood surge, and Li Sange also felt the atmosphere of courage and unity, and now he actually has no fear.

The crane flag at the head of the row was raised, "Bang! "The gong sounded. Li Sange heard the sound of "crackling ......" overhead, and the dense infantry approaching in front screamed miserably, and the lead bullets were invisible, only to see blood splashing on the bodies of those people, and weapons were thrown everywhere.

As soon as the salvo rang out, about the moment of a marching drum, Li Sange pulled the copper mechanism on the firearm, and the whole row of firearms rang out at this time. As he pulled the mechanism, he tilted his head to the left, and as soon as he closed his eyes, the sound of gunpowder bursting sounded from outside his leather ears.

As soon as the sound passed, the smoke in front of him was filled, and he couldn't see the scene in front of him at all for a while, only hearing a scream of pain that cracked his lungs.

The shouts of the head of the capital sounded at the right time, and Li Sange and the others quickly stood up, turned around and followed the man surnamed Zhang in the second row. Soon, the oncoming men rubbed Li Sange's shoulders and walked forward.

Shi will shout: "Good! Brother Li quickly stopped, pulled out a wooden stick wrapped in strips of cloth, stabbed his hands and feet into the barrel of the gun and rubbed it to roughly clean the slag inside, and blew a few times at the hot pot.

The cannons in the back roared like thunder, the front crackled and smoked, arrows flew overhead, and shouts and killings rang out. But Brother Li didn't care, his eyes were only staring at the complicated things at hand, and his hands and feet must be fast, otherwise when everyone else was busy and wanted to move forward, it would be equivalent to stepping forward with a burning stick.

He bit down the stopper wrapped in straw paper that was tightly tucked into the bamboo tube, poured the black particles the size of corn into the barrel of the gun between his legs, and then pulled out the stick, poked it in with a smooth end, and tried to compact it lightly and heavily; Then he took out a lead pellet tightly wrapped in linen cloth from the leather pocket of his waist, and there was slippery tung oil on it, and immediately stuffed it into the mouth of the pipe, and then stabbed it vigorously with a wooden stick. Now this iron pipe is much smaller than the copper gun cast before, and the lead shot is very tightly plugged in.

Then you have to put on the primer, cover the pot, check the fire rope and so on...... This job seems trivial and troublesome, but Third Brother Li is more willing to go into battle like this! It's laborious, but it's not very strenuous; I heard that it is possible to blow up the bore and injure yourself, but these iron pipes are numbered, and if the specified number of uses is less than the explosion, the soldiers and craftsmen will be punished! The possibility of encountering that kind of is much smaller than rushing up and being hacked to death, and I am not afraid at all. Otherwise, rush up with knives and guns and fight hard...... The forbidden soldiers who have experienced it all understand!

Third Brother Li was in a hurry, completely unaware of what had just happened. When I looked up, I saw that the various units of the coalition army in front of the battle formation were fleeing down the hillside, and the infantry formation was already dense, and it was chaotic for a while, and many people were trampled and screamed loudly.

A few hundred feet down the hillside, tens of thousands of coalition infantry formations stood still, while the rebels in front were pouring towards the phalanx on the main formation.

Third Brother Li looked back blankly, only to see that the battle line on the entire hillside was in chaos, and all the infantry troops of the party were fleeing! The crowd poured down the hillside like a torrent!

Third Brother Li and Zhao Dagen and other soldiers beside him were stunned, looking at this sudden and huge scene.

…… At this moment, the artillery roared and deafened on the western artillery array, and some of the artillery ports were already aimed at the coalition infantry formation under the hillside! The iron balls flew sideways into the large infantry formation below the hillside!

Whether it is the Central Plains army or the men and horses of any tribe, as long as it is infantry, the formation must be very dense! Because from the perspective of individual tactics, two people cutting one person is almost guaranteed to win; Then the denser the formation, the more local it is to fight more and less. There was no infantry army in battle, as sparse as cavalry.

The galloping iron bump flew over the heads of the group of people, and the height became lower and lower, "Bang! "A head exploded! The fleshy and fleshy head jerked back, the neck snapped off, and the iron ball continued to fly into the crowd, "Bang! There was another terrifying thud, and the other soldier's ribs were faintly broken from the chest, and his body fell backwards. The iron ball hit the torso in a very deflected direction, slowing down a lot, but still hitting and injuring several people, and the screams of terror came out from the crowd, and the atmosphere of fear spread like a plague.

After a while, another iron ball fell in front of a crowd, and with a "bang" of sand, the iron ball immediately bounced up and flew straight into the crowd.

As the shelling continued, the riots continued to spread, and the large array of tens of thousands of people was faintly turbulent. And the sudden rout of the crowd in front of them added signs of defeat and despair!

The sound of drums on the hillside sounded from the entire front, and the infantry of the Great Sage Army lined up in a neat line, and Shi would lead from the left side of each team, and the troops would follow Shi and march in two columns and two columns. On the slopes of the loess mountains, teams of men and horses rushed down one after another like weapons.

The infantry of the Great Sage Army was disciplined, the method of battle formation was skillful and orderly, the column advanced very fast, and it was also very quick to form a horizontal formation dozens of paces away. Throughout the hillside, people and horses moved in different ways, and when they formed a horizontal formation one after another, it seemed that the entire crowd of people was like a whirlpool, and countless iron helmets were surging. But every city, every team, and no fire people are moving with the military general's military orders, and the details are very orderly. The arrows that the coalition army turned around on their heads kept flying, and from time to time, the armor of the soldiers of the Great Holy Army was shot through and injured, but the rain of arrows did not affect the battle formation in the slightest.

The coalition forces were scrambled into a large formation of tens of thousands of men, and they could not retreat through the gaps between the various formations, because the artillery disrupted large areas of the camp, and the scattered men scattered and scattered the battalions in front of them were in disarray.

"Bang bang......" volleys of firearms rang out one after another on the front from south to north. Invisible lead pellets pierced into people's bodies, and the screams of despair and fear were like ghosts crying and howling. Blood mist and gunpowder smoke filled the battlefield.

The Great Sage Army's armament personnel and horses were organized to adapt to the change of tactics, with about 200 people in one capital and 600 people in one command. There are six teams of soldiers, and one salvo is actually two volleys, one team kneeling in front of the team, and the other team standing...... One reincarnation, that is, six volleys, the distance is only twenty or thirty steps, and it is still shrinking as the attack continues!

The large number of casualties caused by this intensity of firepower was simply unbearable for the Dangxiang and Xi infantry in the atmosphere of defeat! The army had long since collapsed, but the dense infantry formations were in disarray, and it was difficult for those in the middle to run...... There were people in all directions, only desperately squeezing back, and the scene was unbearable to look at, like a riot in the city.

Bands of Great Sage armies with simple arquebuses against the panicked crowd were simply slaughtered! A few men in front of him saw that they couldn't run away, and rushed over with iron knives and screaming.

"Thunderbolt Pop ......" a whole row of white smoke rose up, and the flames flashed with stars. The men twitched like they had gone mad, blood splashed on their chests, and they fell to their knees and fell forward, their weapons falling to the ground and sticking into the loess with a "thud".

In front of the crowd, corpses have piled up! Dark red blood flowed along the sand. In the entire Shura field, it was useless to cry for dad and mother, and for the sky, the wounded soldiers had blood on their hands, and no one paid attention to them when they screamed so loudly that they were hoarse, because they were shouting on all sides.

If this is the world, then there must be another hell on earth!

The cannon roared on the battlefield, and the battlefield in the mountains was completely a huge tragedy! Tuoba Deming couldn't believe his eyes: "This is witchcraft?!" ”

Zhai Shigui, who was standing on the side, was also stunned, he suddenly knelt on one knee and muttered something in Khitan language, probably "It's over, it's over".

Tuoba Deming yelled, "Quick! Tell the ministers to leave, go, go......"

Someone around hurriedly responded: "Obey!" After a while, the man asked, "How do you give the order?" ”

Tuoba Deming didn't know either. On top of the battle formation, a large number of people have been deployed in front of the formation, even if the men and horses are not chaotic, it is very likely to cause a rout on the whole line if they suddenly retreat temporarily! Therefore, it has always been taboo to retreat from the battle!

And now the scene of chaos in the banners, the military orders issued by the Chinese army are difficult to reach the generals, and the generals are even more unable to control their own people; And Mingjin's withdrawal will only bring greater rout and chaos.

Tuoba Deming held more than 100,000 horses in his hands, but at this time he felt a deep powerlessness, as if a person's limbs had lost sensation and he was completely unable to control his strength.

Hands and feet are trembling and shaking!

"Heaven ......"

He watched a large area of people and horses fall into the Shura field and chaos, and watched for a long time, but there was nothing he could do. At this time, it is too late to change tactics and retreat! Immortals can't do it either.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the total defeat on the vast battlefield came so intuitively and quickly!

Unable to extricate himself from a deep despair, Tuoba Deming truly realized the gravity of the consequences. This battle will not only defeat his troops, but also defeat the foundation of the party, almost all the strong party men are concentrated on the battlefield, and the foundation is lost, what chance is there for the future of the entire tribe?

He regretted it: "I was dizzy, and I still didn't carefully estimate the unbearable results beforehand......"

Zhai Shigui on the side knelt on the ground, his hands tightly grasping the loess here, and he didn't say anything for a long time. He seemed to come to his senses sooner, realizing the reality before him, and then he stood up from the ground, threw away the loess in his hand, and reached out to put it on the hilt of his sword.

"Bell!" The scabbard thumped. Tuoba Deming immediately turned his head to look at Zhai Shigui.

At this moment, the soldiers rushed up to save Zhai Shigui's arm, and said something loudly, and Zhai Shigui argued with them for a few words.

Seeing this, Tuoba Deming asked, "General Zhai wants to cut himself?" ”

Zhai Shigui looked pained, gritted his teeth and said: "The Great Sage's military is not witchcraft, it is a firearm. Firearms and tactics that we haven't seen before, we didn't figure out this battle at the beginning, and we lost from the moment of attack! And now, the defeat is cast, and it can no longer change the fate of countless people who died because of the stupidity of Ben General.

I am ashamed of the 20,000 Liao warriors on the battlefield, and the trust of the Great Khan and Xiao Gong, even if I return to Beijing, the nobles and ministers will not let me go...... Death for me is relief! ”

The Liao army general behind him urgently persuaded and said in a deep voice: "Gong Xiao should be able to protect General Zhai, not to mention the tactics of the Great Sage Army, General Yang still needs to return to the country, so as not to fall into the same trap again!" ”

Zhai Shigui was immediately moved when he heard this.

But Tuoba Deming looked desperate, and his heart to die was also gone. Everyone has the desire to survive, but a good person suddenly thinks about seeking death by himself, because the consequences are so serious that he feels that his life is irrelevant!

The party department general is also persuading: "If King Xia goes, your son and the leaders of the various departments will not be able to order the ministries, and the party will definitely be scattered and let people eat meat!" ”

Tuoba Deming let out a long sigh and looked at the vast undulating scene below the mountain. It was as if the heavens and the earth had been filled with gunpowder smoke and blood, and the earth was full of chaotic people. The sun in the yellow dust was also cast a shadow, and I couldn't bear to look at such a miserable situation.

Like a panicked ant colony, people scattered and fled in all directions. The crowd in the middle of each formation trampled on each other while fleeing backwards, and the Great Saint Army in the east followed behind them.

Even the large crowds of cavalry on the northern slopes were overwhelmed by the assault, and only the horses on the rear and on both flanks were scattered and fled in all directions, and the large numbers of men and horses were slowly scattering.

The cavalry of the Great Sage Army was only more than 10,000 horsemen, but they chased tens of thousands of horses and killed them! The infantry behind is also chasing, but it will not be able to catch up for a while and a half.

The wind and clouds change color, and the crowds surge!

Tuoba Deming was remorseful, why did he concentrate the cavalry in the north? Why do the cavalry gather and let others destroy them with firearms like witchcraft! After falling into the scheme, he and Zhai Shigui couldn't imagine that this would happen at all, and they couldn't even imagine that the cavalry of the Great Sage Army could block the attack of tens of thousands of horsemen!

There was no need for an order to retreat, as almost all of the men were retreating and fleeing. No one can stop them from escaping......

……

"Your Majesty, we have won, we have won a great victory! The casualties of the Great Sage Dynasty army are not large, and it is not counted to kill the enemy army! A military general came over and hugged his fists excitedly, with a trilling voice in his voice.

Lu Fei rode on a horse, looking at the sea of corpses and blood, and somehow, he couldn't be happy.

The wind in the air was very small, and the smoke of gunpowder made by a large number of artillery and arquebuses could not be dispersed for a long time, and the fog was heavy between the entire hillside and valley. It's a sunny day, but it seems to be full of haze.

As far as the eye could see, there were corpses, the two main cores of the battlefield, the loess was barely visible, and the corpses had piled up, spreading in all directions, and the fields were devastated and in ruins. Weapons and broken flags were everywhere, and even the execution ground was not so tragic.

Lu Fei has fought many battles, but he has never taken pleasure in slaughtering, and he has never hated life. Pain, killing, only makes him uncomfortable.

However, deep down, I vaguely felt that this was right. He was obsessed with trying to capture the sense of justice that brought about the slaughter...... It's better than defeat!

What Tuoba Agarwood said was remembered again: Why do you have to fight each other?

Lu Fei looked back at the battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder was slowly surging, and said to the left and right, perhaps also to himself: "You have all seen the attacks and massacres that have been subjected to various parts of Hebei. If I don't kill them today, they will kill the soldiers and civilians of the Great Sage Dynasty in the future! ”

Yang Yanzhao bowed and said quietly: "As martial artists, it is natural for the ministers to kill people in the battle array, and it is already good to kill women and children without slaughtering." ”

Lu Fei glanced at him and said, "Yang Gong is reasonable. ”

Pan Meiji looked into the distance, and could no longer see the scene of the pursuit, and hugged her fists and said: "The party has dispatched more than 100,000 people in this battle, and there is no other person to adjust." Take advantage of this victory to eradicate its forces! ”

After hearing this, Lu Fei accepted Pan Mei's suggestion and said, "Order, Cao Bin's troops are keeping an eye on the remaining cavalry in the south. The infantry of the Praetorian Army, on horseback, took turns to pursue the fleeing infantry of their troops. The cavalry mainly focused on the Khitan cavalry that had gone away after the rout. ”

"Obey the order!" Pan Mei bowed with relief. Somehow, the civil officials were still worried that Lu Fei, who was a martial artist, was soft-hearted, but Lu Fei did not disappoint them.

Lu Fei suppressed his unfavorable emotions, pondered for a moment, and said: "Don't let the iron hammer chase after you, let Zhang Jiang lead the main cavalry of the First Legion." ”

Sometimes wisdom does not have anything to do with age, Zhang Jiang is relatively young, but Lu Fei found that this guy is actually very good at judging the situation during the Northern Expedition. He is also very willing to give Zhang Jiang the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, this person is a relatively high-ranking young and strong general.
