The tactics of the security forces worked, and the entire battlefield was filled with tongues of fire and screams, which terrified the officers and soldiers. After a period of hard fighting, the officers and troops lost their combat effectiveness, and a large number of officers of the strongest pro-soldier guard were burned to death, and the already chaotic command system lost its effectiveness. At this time, the reserve of the security army entered the battle, which became the straw that broke the camel's back, and the soldiers of the official army felt very helpless, they were originally beaten by the security army with muskets at a long distance, and now they finally sacrificed so many people to rush to the front of the security army, and then they found that hand-to-hand combat was not their opponent. The surrounding companions were stabbed to the ground one by one by the bayonets of the security forces, and the most capable soldiers and commanders turned into barbecue meat. This security army is so terrifying, who can defeat them?

The instinct for survival overcame the temptation of military exploits and silver bounties, and some officers and soldiers began to turn around and flee the battlefield.

Hong Chengchou, who was commanding in the rear, was still a little excited when he saw the security army rushing out of the trench, the thief's musket finally lost its effect, and victory was just around the corner, but after a while, the officers and soldiers were killed by the security army in hand-to-hand combat, and there were signs of defeat and retreat.

"Reinforcements! Full reinforcements! Hong Chengchou shouted to his subordinates regardless of his image, whoever retreats at this moment is a loser.

The reinforcements of the officers and soldiers continued to move forward, but it was not so easy for them to reach the battlefield.

The artillery of the security army was also anxious, and no longer cared about the officers and artillery who were still shooting at them, but all of them were replaced by shotguns, and fired at the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers at the rear of the battlefield. The new artillery of the security army showed its power at this time, and the artillery of the officers and soldiers needed to cool down and clean the chamber after a long period of shooting, and the rate of fire of the artillery had slowed down, and it took half a day to fire a shot, and they also wanted to attack the reinforcements of the security army but it did not have much effect.

The guns of the security forces were taken out of the shells after firing, and at the same time, the heat and the residue that did not burn out were also taken away, and the chambers were not constantly cooled and cleaned, and the firing speed of the security artillery has not slowed down until now. The artillery mechanics do the usual training thousands of times to fire the shells. Many of the reinforcements of the officers and troops were crushed by artillery fire on the way. Some of those who arrived on the battlefield also suffered heavy losses and had no combat effectiveness. The security army took this opportunity to gather together and line up in a horizontal column, advancing in parallel, skillfully loading the musket with ammunition, and shooting at the dense place of the officers and soldiers, with the sound of gunfire, the officers and soldiers were even more panicked, most of the officers and soldiers in front began to flee, and the slow ones immediately became corpses, and the two armies opened up the distance again, and the security army could shoot without scruples.

The strict training of the security army makes the soldiers consciously of each action, with the order of the squad and platoon leader, the security army on the battlefield automatically assembles into three horizontal teams, the drummer beats the small drum more rhythmically, the soldiers in each row raise their guns to fire, shoot bullets, and then stop on the spot to load the next bullet, then the back row of loaded bullets The security soldiers crossed them and raised their guns to shoot, stopped to load. The soldiers in the last row overtook them again, and the soldiers in the third row continued to shoot alternately. The officers and soldiers were beaten back and forth. As reinforcements continued to join, the security army's musket array became denser and more powerful, firing more bullets, killing all the officers and soldiers who dared to stand in their way on the battlefield.

The advance of the security army musket team continued to increase, and it was approaching the official artillery, and the slow reloading speed of the official artillery made them powerless in the face of the rushing security army, and when the bullets hit the artillery position, they had to choose to flee. Step by step, the security army walked through the artillery positions of the officers and soldiers, and there was no longer a single officer or soldier who resisted.

At this time, the artillery of the security army could only switch to solid shells to extend the fire, because the security army had already rushed out of the range of artillery shotguns.

"Cavalry sortie." Hong Chengchou took out his last trump card. He keenly found that although the security army repelled the attack of the officers and soldiers with a charge, they themselves left the fortified position and came to a place with relatively open terrain, which gave the officers and soldiers an opportunity to take advantage of. Hong Chengchou did not believe that the thin three-line infantry array could resist the onslaught of the cavalry.

Cao Wenzhao, who received the order, led the cavalry of the official army to avoid the fleeing rout, let the horse run in small steps, maintain the physical strength of the horse, and the distance between him and the security army musket team is getting closer and closer. Cao Wenzhao knew that this was probably the last charge, he had seen the power of the security army's musketeers when they charged in formation, and knew that even if his cavalry crushed the security army's musket team, there would be little cavalry left.

Hong Chengchou saw the changes on the battlefield, Zhang Chu was not idle, and the five thousand cavalry of the cavalry regiment of the security army had moved to the side of the battlefield under his orders, ready to launch an attack to relieve the pressure on the front of the musketeers.

I didn't expect the musketeers to be so strong and repelled the attack of the officers and soldiers with white-knuckle combat.

The defeated officers and soldiers became the best target for the cavalry, and the cavalry commander rushed towards the fleeing officers and soldiers as soon as he gave the order, and the commander of the cavalry was still thinking about how the cavalry of the security army could only do this kind of thing of chasing the defeated soldiers, and they had not run far before they found that the cavalry of the officers and troops were avoiding the defeated soldiers and moving forward, and the cavalry did not dare to slack off and immediately prepared for battle, and rushed towards the cavalry of the officers and troops in front.

The cavalry of the official army also noticed the sudden appearance of the horse team, but they were not very worried, Cao Wenzhao's men were all veterans who had fought in the border pass for many years, and they were still very confident in their martial arts on the horse.

The two sides gradually approached, and the speed of the horse was also mentioned to be the fastest. At this time, the security army had already struck first, they did not give Cao Wenzhao's Guanning iron cavalry a chance to show their immediate kung fu, each of the three short muskets fired three rounds of bullets in succession, the excellent barrel and spiral rifling made the security army's short muskets have a longer range and stronger penetration. The armor that Guan Ning Iron Cavalry was originally proud of was like paper paste, and the cavalry of the official army fell off their horses one after another. Cao Wenzhao was lucky not to be hit by a bullet under the desperate protection of his own soldiers, but he looked at the scattered formation of his cavalry, he knew that it was impossible to win, and he didn't even have a chance to break up the thief team. He immediately made a new decision, turning his horse's head to disengage from the cavalry of the Security Army, and running away from the battlefield with the rest of the cavalry, he could not lose all his money here.

The cavalry battalion of the security army was holding back its strength, and after releasing the musket, it drew its saber and prepared to fight the famous Guanning iron cavalry to the death, but Cao Wenzhao led the team to run away. The round fist of the security army was empty, and the cavalry battalion commander of the security army was very aggrieved.

But he didn't lose his mind and knew what his mission was. So he gave up the urge to pursue the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and instead led the cavalry to chase after the fleeing officers and infantry. (To be continued.) )
