The next day, finally came to the time of the battle, on the wilderness outside the east gate of Chuzhou, nearly 200,000 White Lotus thieves and 60,000 officers and soldiers had already set up a formation, and the war was about to break out, an eagle flew from the sky, opened its eagle eyes and looked down, only to see that the wilderness was divided into two camps with strong barriers.

To the east was a strict queue of officers and soldiers, and the bright red robes seemed to be a sea of fire!

Directly in front and on the left and right wings are pikemen, 40,000 spears pierce the sky, weaving into a palpitating spear forest, the spear blades reflect the cold glow under the sun, as if the eyes of the demon king Chiyou, the most brave and good veterans will shudder when they see it, and they will worry that they will be stabbed into a sieve.

The pikemen were followed by the musket battalion, with 4,000 musketeers in four rows, in a narrow formation more than 500 meters wide.

Behind the musket battalion was the artillery battalion, sixty carts carrying artillery were lined up, the sturdy wheels had been nailed to the ground with iron drills, the sixty guns fixed on the carts were placed almost horizontally, the muzzles of the black holes were already aimed at the wilderness in front, and immediately behind the artillery carts, sixty carts were lined up, loaded with ammunition.

At the back of the formation were two baggage battalions, thousands of carts built an impassable barrier, firmly guarding the back of the official formation, and 10,000 baggage soldiers armed with machetes were waiting by the side of the carts, and if the enemy tried to cross this barrier, they would give the enemy a head-on attack.

To the west were scattered bandits.

Li Yan really put more than 100,000 old and weak women and children in the back, waving flags and shouting while bluffing.

30,000 strong people were divided into five phalanxes, lined up in front of the formation, each phalanx was about 6,000 people, led by Li Hu, Li Xuan, Jing Maocheng, Mountain Leopard and Yuan Shizhong, Li Yan was wearing iron armor and was slowly patrolling in front of the formation, and the red lady in a fiery red suit rode a horse and followed behind Li Yan, and behind the red lady, there were dozens of women's army.

Li Yan's eyes swept over the soldiers of the rebel army in front of the array, and he suddenly drew his sword with his backhand and held it high in the sky, leading to a long roar: "Eighteen sons of the main artifact ......"

"Eighteen Sons Lord Artifact!"

"Eighteen Sons Lord Artifact!"

"Eighteen Sons Lord Artifact!"

……

First of all, the red lady behind Li Yan and dozens of women's soldiers shouted coquettishly, and then Li Hu, Li Xuan, Jing Maocheng and the rebel soldiers who were mixed in the thief formation followed and shouted, and in the end, almost all the white lotus thieves shouted with them, and the shouts like a landslide and tsunami rushed into the sky, wanting to tear the sky.

"Hah!"

Li Yan smashed his crotch mount fiercely, rode his horse and galloped in front of the formation, and howled his sword while galloping his horse: "Zhu Ming has been angry for a long time, and the king will win the world!" ”

"Oh......"

"Oh......"

"Oh......"

"Oh......"

Everywhere Li Yan rode his horse, all the thieves and soldiers shouted frantically, stomping on the ground with their feet frantically while shouting, or desperately slapping the weapons in their hands, making a noisy and suffocating noise, and the officers and soldiers of the officers and soldiers thousands of meters away were shocked to the point that their eardrums ached faintly.

Seeing that the enthusiasm of the soldiers of the righteous army had been fully mobilized, Li Yan suddenly turned his horse's head, raised his long sword facing the east, and then slashed it fiercely, looking up to the sky and shouting: "Attack ......"

"Woo-ha!"

"Wow!"

In the shout of the sky and the earth cracking, the enthusiastic White Lotus thief soldiers swept towards the direction pointed by Li Yan Jianfeng like a flood that broke the embankment.

In front of the officers and soldiers.

A sinister smile flashed across Wang Pu's face, Li Yan actually played psychological warfare?

With this rabble, they also want to scare off their 60,000 officers and soldiers? What wishful thinking!

"Hah!"

Wang Pu rode his horse from the front of the formation, ran to the corner of the formation and suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, the crotch mount neighed and suddenly stood up, two kicks on the spot, had turned to face forward, and Lu Liu, who followed Wang Pu behind him, took advantage of the situation to raise the big flag in his hand to the sky, and the old and dilapidated military flag had been unfurled in the wind.

The eyes of the 60,000 soldiers gathered on the military flag!

At this time, you can see the difference between recruits and veterans, the more than 10,000 veterans who came from Datong had firm eyes and cold faces, turning a blind eye to the thieves who swept in front of them, this is by no means pretending to be calm, they really didn't take this group of White Lotus thieves in their eyes!

And the 50,000 recruits are on the battlefield for the first time, they have never seen this kind of terrible battle, the White Lotus thieves are still far away, they are already a little scared, one by one looking left and right, their eyes flickering, if it weren't for the veterans in the formation, the result might really be what Li Yan expected, it would have collapsed before the battle.

Wang Pu slowly drew out his waist knife, and the blade was directed, and the black thief soldiers swept like endless ants.

"Pikemen...... Get ready! ”

"Torch team...... Get ready! ”

"Baggage Battalion...... Await orders! ”

The loud shouts were accompanied by the sound of hurried horses' hooves, and more than a dozen cavalry heralds had rushed out from the left side of the formation, issuing Wang Pu's military orders from left to right to every officer, every soldier, and in the sound of the horn, the pikemen in the front row had already put the spears in their hands to the ground, and then lay down on the spot, and the musket team in the back row also lay down.

Because the cannons of this era are too primitive, it is difficult to calibrate the shooting Zhuyuan, and Wang Pu's men do not have gunners who know ballistic technology, and he himself does not know much about it, so he can only adopt the simplest flat firing technique.

"Artillery Battalion...... Get ready! ”

Another hurried sound of horses' hooves galloped in front of the artillery camp, and one hundred and twenty gunners hurried forward and stood on the side of the gun carriage, the light of the twist flashed, and sixty torches had been ignited, and when Wang Pu gave an order, the gunners would not hesitate to ignite the fuse on the barrel with their torches.

"Artillery Battalion...... Fire! ”

This time, there were no more heralds galloping in front of the artillery camp, only the sixty commanders guarding the side of the artillery carriage waved their raised swords at the same time, and the sixty gunners quickly ignited the fuse on the breech with their torches, and then galloped ten paces away, and squatted on the ground with their hands covered in their ears.

"......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The lead quickly ignited into the chamber of the cannon with green smoke.

The next moment, sixty cannons roared almost at the same time, and a dazzling fireball roared out from the muzzle of the cannon, carrying a piercing scream to sweep the White Lotus thieves who swept forward, crowded together, and the White Lotus thieves who rushed forward with a shout were blown up in an instant, and the severed limbs and stumps were scattered everywhere.

The solid iron bullet shot out by the Fran machine gun was like a scorching iron plow, and there were forty blood marks in the White Lotus Thief Formation, which almost pierced the charging formation of the White Lotus Thief Soldier, and the iron bullet rolled over, and the White Lotus Thief Soldier was knocked to the ground with limbs and torn limbs and fell to the ground.

But what is really terrifying is the Hongyi cannon, the flowering shell of the Hongyi cannon first opened the formation of the thieves like a pear, and then exploded after going deep into the formation of the thieves, and the fragments flying in the sky formed a barrage with a radius of dozens of steps, and the thieves who were shrouded in it were either killed or injured, and there was no luck.

The charging formation of the White Lotus thieves was so dense that the artillery fire of the official army exerted unimaginable power, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of thieves had already died, and many more thieves were wounded, lying in a pool of blood and letting out a terrible wail.

The White Lotus thieves who were rushing forward like a swarm were immediately stunned.

Compared with direct killing, the terrifying scene of the ground shaking when sixty cannons were fired at the same time was more shocking to them, these thieves were honest farmers not long ago, and many of them had never even been to the ground dozens of miles away.

The White Lotus thieves were already stunned, but they were still rushing forward in a daze.

The momentum of more than 100,000 people swarming forward is not so easy to stop, even if the people in front want to stop, the people behind will desperately push them up, unless the 30,000 thieves in front of them collapse and flee, and then the thieves in the back will also follow the rout, only in this way, the charging momentum of the entire thief soldiers will be defeated.

"Rush, don't stop!"

"Rush up and kill all these dog officers!"

"Brothers, just rush forward and they're finished!"

Li Xuan, Jing Maocheng, the leopard in the mountains and Yuan Shizhong brandished their waist knives and rushed to the front of the thief formation, these guys are worthy of being fierce generals, even the Lord of Yama had to go around when he saw it, and the salvo of sixty cannons killed thousands of thief soldiers, but they were stunned and failed to blow them up!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

There was another shaking of the mountains, and another loud sound of earth-shattering.

After less than a moment's interval, the Franco cannon loaded with the second sub-cannon opened fire again, and another forty solid iron bullets carried a terrible whistling pear through the dense formation of the White Lotus thieves, and it was a terrible scene of flesh and blood flying, severed limbs and stumps dancing around, and the White Lotus thieves once again paid thousands of casualties!

This time, Li Xuan and the leopard in the mountains were not so lucky.

The leopard in the mountains, who was turning back to urge the thieves to rush forward, was directly hit in the head by an iron bullet, and a good head was shattered into flesh and blood in an instant, and the body that had lost its head fell straight down, convulsed a few times, and then quickly stopped moving.

Li Xuan was also hit by an iron bullet in the waist, and his sturdy body was broken into two at the waist in an instant, and the upper half of the body that lost support fell to the ground, and soon Li Xuan struggled to stand up with his hands, and then reached out to hug the two thighs that were still standing, and cried: "Legs, Lao Tzu's legs ......"

In front of the officers and soldiers.

"Artillery Battalion...... Stop shooting! ”

"Torch team...... Array! ”

"First Team...... Preparation! ”

The deafening sound of cannons was still rolling and echoing in the heavens and the earth, and more than a dozen fast horses had galloped out from the left side of the formation, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves accompanied by the loud trumpets resounded in the sky again.

The gunners, who were guarding the side of the gun carriage, quickly retreated ten paces away.

The musketeers lying on the ground rolled over and climbed up, and set up a firing queue as fast as they could, and the thousand musketeers in the front row had already raised their muskets in their hands, and the muzzles of the black holes were already aimed in front of them.

Directly ahead, the White Lotus thief soldier was still unconsciously rushing forward.

"Fire!"

The big flag in Lu Liu's hand waved forward fiercely, and the generals standing in the middle of the shooting queue waved their waist knives one after another, and a thousand musketeers opened fire in response, and in the continuous gunfire, the thieves who rushed to the front row fell down like a weed that had been cut down, and the nerves of the white lotus thieves finally collapsed, and in the confusion, they didn't know who shouted, turned around and ran.

In less than a moment, the 30,000 elite and strong thieves on whom Li Yan had high hopes had already collapsed and fled along the left and right sides of the battlefield.

"Alas......"

In the midst of the chaos, Li Yan let out a long sigh, turned his horse and galloped towards the direction of the Black Wind Ridge.

Behind Li Yan, only his cousin Li Jun and the Red Lady followed closely with dozens of cavalry soldiers, as for Li Xuan, Li Hu, Jing Maocheng, the leopard in the mountains and the remaining more than 1,000 subordinates who were scattered in the chaotic army, Li Yan couldn't take care of it, and now they can only follow their destiny.

In front of the official army, Lu Liu waved the military flag, and five hundred light cavalry had already rushed to his side like a whirlwind.

Wang Pu pushed the waist knife in his hand forward, and shouted: "Go to General Ben to find it separately, and you must find a woman in a red power suit in the chaotic army!" Don't hurt that woman, but the man next to her is not allowed to let go of any of them, especially not a little white face! ”
