The sound of the cannon died down.

The team came to a slightly calmer place, front and back, left and right, one after another, most of the sergeants had frightened expressions on their faces, and many of them had blood stains on their bodies, which were the blood of their comrades.

The heavy loss was something that Zhang Xianzhong did not expect, with such a powerful artillery, it was the first time he saw it, and after escorting him to the open area, he did not forget to greet the rest of the sergeants.

The 50,000-strong army was dizzy by artillery fire, and I don't know how many people were lost in the road.

Zhang Xianzhong is very strange, according to the convention, after the artillery attack, it should be a fight, taking advantage of his own sergeant, frightened, rushed forward, a fight, must be able to get a huge victory, for what so long has passed, and the officers and soldiers who rushed up have not been seen for a long time.

The firepower is so powerful, it must be the army of the imperial court, and it is impossible for other armies to emerge.

Zhang Xianzhong was a little dizzy, his own plans were careful enough, why would he suffer such heavy losses, could it be said that all his plans were known by the imperial army, could it be said that all the smooth journeys were traps.

He thought of the Jiangning battalion, but the information obtained by the scouts was that the Jiangning battalion was still far away in Yueyang County, and it was impossible to come to Wuxiang County, what was the situation.

Some of the officers under him are already organizing sergeants, paying attention to the movements around them, and preparing to start fighting, after all, these officers have seen too many formations, and some of them are surrendered sergeants from the last Battle of Yimaguan and have rich experience.

Sun Chuanting calmly paid attention to all this.

The range of the flintlock pistol was between 50 and 100 meters, so the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were not far from the ambush, and they could see it clearly. The frightened rogues are concentrating their ranks and moving forward slowly.

It should be said that after the artillery bombardment is over, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion can rush up and deal a devastating blow to the rogues. But this plan, Su Tiancheng did not agree, his opinion, to maximize the role of artillery and flintlock pistols, after completely extinguishing the momentum of the rogue, and then launch a charge, the attack in the mountains is not the same as the plains, which is not conducive to the full spread of the cavalry. If the Liukou still has a certain momentum, the Jiangning camp may suffer greater losses.

Now that the tasks of the artillery battalion have been completed, the next thing is to see the role of the flintlock pistol.

On the hillsides on both sides of the road, there were 8,000 soldiers in ambush, with flintlock pistols in their hands, on the left and right sides according to the principle of two rounds of fire. Two thousand men each shot at a time, and the remaining two thousand were ready. That is, four thousand soldiers shot each time.

Such a density of fire is frightening.

Although the coverage area of the artillery is large, there is always a certain gap, but after the flintlock gun starts firing, there is almost no gap. To put it mildly, there is absolutely no place for the rogues to hide.

Under such density, Liukou thought about rushing to the slopes on both sides, also looking for death.

When the firecrackers rang out, Zhang Xianzhong no longer knew how to give the order.

It was thunder that had been heard. It was the sound of artillery, and now it was the sound of firecrackers, which must have been arquebuses.

Zhang Xianzhong is completely sure that he has encountered a well-designed ambush, this time I am afraid that it is a matter of life and death, the other party has a great appetite, and he wants to annihilate the 50,000 people he led.

There was almost no hesitation, Zhang Xianzhong once again issued an order to rush forward desperately, in addition, there is no other way out, now the best choice is to rush out of Qiyue Mountain, or into the depths of the mountain, looking for high mountains and dense forests, each fighting for itself, as for the plan to attack Liaozhou, don't think about it, this time you can or return to Shaanxi, even if it is very good.

The sound of firecrackers became more and more intense, and the sergeants kept screaming and falling.

Zhang Xianzhong's eyes began to be congested.

Why is this happening, who is the opponent, the power of the artillery, and the power of the arquebus, all of which are extraordinary.

Artillery and arquebuses, Zhang Xianzhong is familiar with and has seen them, the power is needless to say, but the flaws are also big.

After encountering the attack of artillery, Zhang Xianzhong was also shocked, this time he was attacked by the arquebus, he was not too panicked, after all, the arquebus had too many shortcomings.

But the situation around him has exceeded his imagination.

The speed of the opponent's shooting was very fast, and he and the sergeant were completely in a situation of being beaten, and it was definitely not possible to run back, there was artillery waiting behind, and maybe he would die even worse, so he could only rush forward.

There are more and more people lying on the road, gradually blocking the way, some have died, some are seriously injured, it is difficult to walk and stand, this situation can not continue, otherwise everyone should not think about getting out of Qiyue Mountain.

Zhang Xianzhong pulled out the steel knife and gave a loud order, this time the order was cruel, don't care about the wounded, you can use the wounded as a shield to block the bullets that come over, and the rest of the people must rush forward desperately and leave this open area.

At the same time, the crossbowmen began to shoot a rain of arrows towards the hillsides on either side.

Most of the sergeants in the middle of the rogue have not experienced much fighting, and they are not so resolute in carrying out orders.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Xianzhong cut down a few stunned sergeants, and after the rest of them came to their senses, they immediately began to move, and the team began to move forward quickly.

The scout camp was at the front, followed by the cavalry battalion, and behind were the three thousand sergeants led by He Renlong.

The sound of artillery and gunfire stimulated their nerves.

The war horses are very quiet, completely different from the situation of the rogues, not that there is anything peculiar about these war horses, at the beginning in the barracks, all the war horses, have received special training, in the rumbling artillery fire, there are frightened war horses, but the time to hear the sound of the cannon is more, and slowly get used to it, and later, it is familiar to turn a blind eye.

In the mountains, the role of cavalry cannot be played to the extreme, but the terrain of this generation is slightly flatter, and the war horse still has a role, at least much faster than the speed of the Liukou, after encountering the blows of artillery and flintlock guns, I believe that the Liukou cannot have much morale and combat effectiveness, I am afraid that at this time, I only hate my parents for having two legs, and running for my life is the most critical.

Soon, Sun Chuanting came over.

"Brothers, get ready, the rogues are coming, everyone remember, don't kill the rogues who put down their weapons and surrender on their knees."

Such an order is rare, and the rule of the Jiangning battalion is that it is not allowed to kill an opponent who has completely lost the ability to resist.

He Renlong's face was a little red, this sentence was actually said to him.

The sound of firecrackers gradually died down.

Zhang Xianzhong is already on the verge of mania.

He knew that the next step must be the time for the officers and soldiers to charge, but he knew that he was no longer able to organize effective resistance, and the sergeants under his command were lost and depressed, scurrying around, just trying to flee for their lives.

The pro-soldiers around him were powerless, and some officers and capable sergeants slowly moved closer to him.

No one was responsible for counting the losses, and no one knew how big the losses were, and there was a commotion all around.

No one believes that this is still an army.

The last charge was finally launched.

Liu Tiehan rushed to the front, his task was very clear, that is, to go to Zhang Xianzhong, although he said that he didn't know Zhang Xianzhong, but as long as he aimed at the handsome flag, there would definitely be no problem.

This can no longer be considered a fight, this can only be considered a massacre.

Completely unable to resist, the rogues turned and fled for their lives when they saw the cavalry and foot soldiers rushing towards them.

The sergeants of the Jiangning battalion rushed from the slopes on both sides and from the front, and the only way to escape for their lives was to run back.

The rogues in the back ran desperately forward, the rogues in front rushed back desperately, and when the two met, no one retreated, and without the command of an officer, the team was completely chaotic.

When He Renlong led the sergeant to rush up, he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

The rogues did not resist, like headless flies, scurrying around, and the sergeant did not need to exert any effort to raise his knife and cut down.

There were already some rogues who knelt on the ground and threw away their steel knives and spears in their hands.

The massacre has just begun.

He Renlong felt depressed, and he didn't understand a little, for what Jiangning camp met the rogues he saw, they were all so pustules, and he didn't even have the consciousness of resistance, when he was in Yima Pass, those rogues who didn't want to die, where are they now, those rogues who went forward and followed one after another, completely fell into a frenzy, and they were not afraid of death at all.

It's only been a few months, and I'm thinking about why this is happening.

Among the Liukou, there are some former brothers, who are estimated to have surrendered to the Liukou in the middle of the battle at Yima Pass.

Seeing these sergeants, He Renlong's mood was even more complicated.

These sergeants were very clever, and when they saw the imperial army rushing towards them, many of them immediately put down their steel knives and spears and knelt on the ground, so that they could at least save their lives.

More rogues chose to run away.

This is the stupidest option.

The rogues kneeling on the ground, no one paid attention, the imperial army was completely against the fleeing rogues, of course, these kneeling on the ground rogues definitely did not dare to move, on the battlefield, people killed red-eyed, you kneeling and surrendering may not be able to save your life, if there is any change, the steel knife and spear immediately got on the body.

The fight did not last long, and soon, most of the rogues knelt down and surrendered, they threw away the steel knives and spears, and held their heads in both hands.

This battle, before they even had time to react, ended like this.

He Renlong was depressed, Zhang Xianzhong's feeling was a nest, there was no chance to fight, there was no chance to escape, Qi Yueshan seemed to have become a big net, firmly netting the brothers in it, first the shelling, then the shooting, the last is the fight, every step of the design is so accurate, the choice of place is so appropriate, there is no respite, there is no room for adjustment, when the shock is undecided, the army completely collapsed.
