After the order was issued, the soldiers of the Broken Army quickly assembled, and two quarters of an hour later, under the leadership of Liu Fan, the soldiers of the Broken Army began to advance along the canyon towards the west.

After more than an hour of rapid marching, Liu Fan finally arrived at the flat basin less than ten miles away from He Jin, riding on a horse, Liu Fan asked Sun Liang beside him, "How is the situation ahead now?" ”

When Sun Liang heard this, he replied, "Handsome! Tan Ma Lai reported that He Jin was besieged by the enemy, with a number of about 50,000 people, and the banner was Zhang Miaoshou and Liu Nengbu, who broke through the sky, and there were about 30,000 people in the two divisions! ”

Liu Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Let the soldiers speed up their march, and be sure to arrive at the battlefield within an hour!" ”

Just when Liu Fan rushed to Hejin with a large team of men, Liu Neng, who was besieging Hejin Town, also got the news, Liu Neng knew that Liu Fan was about to arrive with people, and said to his cronies, "Tell Zhang Miaoshou the news, act according to the plan, let him contain the officials and troops in the town, and gather the old camp people, let's go and meet this Liu Fan!" ”

Half an hour later, Liu Fan's forward troops met with the thieves less than five miles away from He Jin, when Liu Fan entered the battlefield, Liu Neng, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly rushed towards the unstable foothold of the horse team, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, about more than 2,000 rogues, riding horses towards the broken army, so many cavalry charges were extremely terrifying, the horse's hooves stepped on the ground, bringing up billowing smoke and dust, and the earth seemed to tremble.

There were many recruits in the Broken Army, and they were terrified in the face of the overwhelming momentum of the enemy, especially the soldiers in the front row, who held their guns tightly in their hands, and their fingers turned white because of nervousness. Fortunately, Shang Ming, who commanded the striker, was experienced, and in the face of such a situation, he immediately shouted, "Form a formation to meet the enemy!" ”

After a long period of training, these soldiers have formed a conditioned reflex to line up and obey military orders, although their brains are almost blank due to fear, but their bodies still involuntarily form a defensive formation according to Shang Ming's orders. Shang Ming's order did not stop, and he continued to shout: "Flat gun! ”

Just in the time when Shang Ming's forward team formed a defensive formation, Liu Neng led the cavalry team to approach quickly, and in half an hour, the distance between the two sides was less than three hundred meters, and the cavalry in the rapid charge took down the bow and arrow beside him, and shot the bow into the sky, which was the usual projectile tactic of the cavalry, and the arrows that fell from the sky fell into the camp of the broken army with huge kinetic energy, and the soldiers of the broken army in the queue suddenly suffered casualties, and the arrows penetrated the armor and came out, and also took away the lives of the soldiers.

Shang Ming was furious when he saw this, and shouted, "Fight back!" Call me the firecracker! "The smoothbore gunners who got the order opened fire quickly, the range was long, and the powerful Spanish smoothbore guns played a huge role at a distance of more than a hundred meters, and the neat gunshots rang out, and the cavalry in the front row bore the brunt of the projectiles, and the projectiles penetrated the thin armor of the cavalry and splashed blood flowers, and the cavalry who were shot were planted on the ground one after another, and were trampled into flesh by the cavalry that followed! After the smoothbore gunner, the three-eyed gunner also fired, in the firelight, accompanied by a large amount of iron sand, the three-eyed gun's three guns took turns to roar, and the powerful firepower almost covered all the space within fifty meters in front, and the cavalry who had just been hit by the smoothbore gun and had not had time to rejoice suddenly suffered a fatal blow, whether it was a person or a war horse, they were all hit by the iron sand in the sky!

The distance of one hundred meters was only a few breaths for the cavalry, and Liu Neng in the rear witnessed the huge losses of the cavalry in front, and he was furious, drew his saber and shouted, "Kill!" As soon as the words fell, these burly and sturdy rogues wearing felt hats drew their weapons one after another, and the strange whistling of Shaanxi accents rose one after another on the battlefield. With the powerful impact of the horses, the cavalry of the rogue quickly plunged into the spear formation of the captive army.

How could the forward team, which only had three or four hundred people, withstand the impact of nearly two thousand cavalry, the seemingly stable gun array was scattered in an instant, and before the soldiers in the back row had time to react, the soldiers in the front row were trampled under the horses by the rolling cavalry. The gun array collapsed, the soldiers were divided, without the protection of the gun array, the thin foot soldiers were like a lonely boat in the sea under the impact of the cavalry, and they were cut down to the ground by the cavalry before they could resist, and the vanguard team suddenly suffered heavy casualties, and it was in danger of destruction!

At this moment, a large number of soldiers of the Broken Army quickly approached the battlefield in a charging formation, and as many as several thousand soldiers of the Broken Army lined up in a dozen zigzag phalanxes and collided with the cavalry of the Liukou. Responsible for resisting the phalanx in front, the two phalanxes on the flanks charged from both sides, and the soldiers of the Breaker Army fanned in!

The screams of slaughter and the sound of weapons striking filled the entire battlefield. Breaking the trap surrounded the enemy with superior forces, often four or five hundred cavalry had to face as many as three gun formations. These rogues are all elite men and horses left over from the perennial battles between officials and soldiers, and even some of them are the original sergeants of the Nine Sides, even in the face of so many enemies, they are not afraid, and they still wield sabers and fight bravely. However, this was of no avail, after the cavalry charge was blocked by an impregnable array of guns, the cavalry that had lost its impact was useless on the battlefield! In the face of the spears of the Broken Army, the cavalry riding on horses and only holding sabers could not inflict much damage on the soldiers of the Broken Army. The spears pierced, and the cavalry on the periphery almost had to face as many as four or five spears at the same time, and even the brave cavalry inevitably made mistakes. With unwilling anger, the rogues were stabbed off their horses one after another, and as many as 100 people were killed and injured in a few breaths.

In the face of such a bad situation, Liu Neng didn't have time to feel sorry for the dead people, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't fall in love with war!" Break through with me! Between shouts, he swung his sword to cut off several spears that were coming at him, and rode his horse in the direction of the future and encirclement of the flank-breakers. Hearing Liu Neng's shout, the cavalry behind turned their horses and rushed towards the two wings. Taking advantage of the fact that the captives had not yet completed the encirclement, they quickly left the battlefield.

Before the cavalry who had broken out of the encirclement had time to rejoice, they heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves in the distance, and the sound came from far and near, and it was the cavalry team led by Zhou Ce who arrived. It turned out that Zhou Ce had already received Liu Fan's order, and he led the cavalry team to cruise not far from the battlefield, and after discovering that the cavalry of the Liukou had broken through, he immediately seized the opportunity to attack.

The rogue cavalry, who had just broken out of the encirclement, was forced to meet before they could line up, and they were killed before they could react in the face of the neatly lined cavalry of the broken army. Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest of the cavalry did not care about the other friendly troops who had fallen into a bitter battle, and rode their horses to the west, and fled the battlefield in disarray.

After charging and killing for a while, Zhou Ce did not continue the pursuit, because his cavalry team was too small, and there were only more than 500 people now, and it was one person and one horse, far less than one person, two horses or even three horses. Once the horsepower of the pursuit is consumed, it is easy to be ambushed, so Zhou Ce does not dare to chase! (To be continued.) )
