People neighed horses, and everywhere there was the neighing of horses when they were disturbed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the observation of clairvoyance and artillery mirrors, most of the cavalry of the invading army were still stationary, so the old battalions and horse teams of the intruding camp, no matter how they hid behind the hungry infantry and how sparsely the array was arranged, there were still shells whistling over.

Wave after wave, vicious, and accurate smashed on their heads, hitting people's legs and horses' legs flying.

"Steady!" , Seeing the panic fluctuations of the horse team beside him, Liu Fangliang yelled.

The hateful Shunxiang army, their artillery does not fight hungry soldiers, does not fight foot soldiers, and picks their old battalions and elite cavalry to fight. Every wave of shells whizzed over, causing a lot of casualties to their horse team. You must know that these elite horsemen are the foundation of breaking into the camp and starting a family, and losing any one of them will make the generals feel distressed for a long time.

However, Liu Fangliang did not dare to retreat, because King Chuang had not yet withdrawn his troops.

Liu Fangliang's banner of the Chinese army did not dare to be withdrawn, and the banner of the Chinese army was the most important thing in the ancient army battle. If the banner falls, it means that the command system has collapsed, and the impact on the morale of the military is indescribable. Maybe these more than 10,000 people collapsed in an instant.

However, this banner is standing on this side, but it is the best target, and more and more artillery of the Shunxiang army is concentrated on bombarding this side.

The Hongyi cannon has the advantage of a long firing range, within one or two miles, it is the bombardment range of the artillery, plus there is a clairvoyant mirror's instructions, no matter how deep Liu Fangliang and the others hide, they can also find out as soon as possible, as long as the banner is still there.

Another five-pound solid iron ball roared with a dozen small bullets. In the crackling fracture, a group of cavalry in front of Liu Fangliang was smashed into a bloody mist, and the severed arms and stumps were shot, and this group of cavalry was almost lost.

The solid iron ball bounced and rushed viciously towards Zhang Yi's horse, and with a bang, Zhang Lu's horse was torn open with a big hole in the abdomen, "His body also flew out at once, and he fell into a dog eating."

The artillery of the Shunxiang Army showed real power, and within the firing range, no place was safe, and both small soldiers and generals "could be killed by artillery in an instant." These horse teams have almost dispersed in groups, and there are still people who are suffering, especially their old battalions, which are the most dangerous.

"This battle can't be fought, retreat ...... quickly", there was a mess in front of him, and his soldiers helped Zhang Xiao to struggle to get up, and when he saw everything in front of him, he was even more earthy, "Desperate to shout at Liu Fangliang." He clenched his teeth and sweated coldly, but his left arm had been fractured.

"Yes, get out of ......"

Tian Jianxiu and Gao Yigong tried their best to control their horses, and they were also shocked, they almost brushed shoulders with death just now, and they were also shocked. Fighting against the Shunxiang Army made them feel powerless in their hearts. You can't fight back just by being beaten, and this battle really can't be fought.

Liu Fangliang's face was pale, he looked closely at the direction of Beiguan, and squeezed out a sentence from his mouth: "King Chuang has not ordered the troops to be collected." ”

Not to mention the threat of artillery, he still has worries in his heart, he knows the tactics of the Shunxiang army, after the artillery bombardment, it is very likely that the cavalry in the city will come out, "and then his own losses will be greater."

In the clairvoyant mirror, Chen Yongfu couldn't help laughing when he saw the situation on the other side of the camp: "Okay, hit hard, shoot hard, and kill them." "The soldiers are too damaged. Li Zicheng also saw the situation of the soldiers and horses in the front of the siege, and the battle reports kept coming, "I heard that my old battalion soldiers and horses and elite cavalry suffered heavy losses, and Li Zicheng's heart was also like a knife." This time to test Wang Dou's combat power and tactics, the price he paid was too great, especially the old battalion soldiers and horses were so meaningless.

Liu Zongmin gritted his teeth: "Don't dare to tear and kill face-to-face, relying on the powerful artillery to fight from afar, what kind of hero is it?" Niu Jinxing glanced at Li Yan and said: "King Chuang, the temptation of my righteous army has already come to fruition, then Wang Doujun's army is really sharp, and I fought hard with them, and the loss of my righteous army is too great." The art of war is cloudy: I am designed for one, the enemy is divided into ten, and it is to attack one of the ten! "This king fights very strongly, my righteous army does not fight with him, he guards in the north pass, and I attack the rest of Luoyang City." If Wang Doubing goes out of the pass to rescue, and our righteous army besieges with hungry soldiers, he will eventually have few soldiers and will not be able to consume us. The generals next to Li Zicheng said: "Mr. Niu is right, that's it, avoid the strong and the weak, and don't fight with the king......"

Li Yan was silent, and his strategy of offering artillery rockets did not seem to have very obvious results.

Li Zicheng looked at Beiguan Chengchi and said slowly: "Collect the troops, let Mingyuan and them come back." Seeing the tide of the soldiers disperse, there was a cheer on the head of Beiguan City, and Wang Dou and Chen Yongfu ordered the officers and soldiers of the sheep and horse wall to go out of the wall to pursue and clean up the battlefield. Seeing the officers and soldiers chasing after them, those intruders fled even faster, and the artillery equipment, corpses and seriously injured people left behind were all abandoned. ,

In the end, the intruders returned to Li Zicheng's array, and the pursuing officers and soldiers retreated.

The trumpet sounded, and the mighty intruders retreated and turned back to their camp, and the battle ended on the tenth day of the first month.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the results of the statistics came up, and there were more than 2,000 soldiers killed and wounded, according to the standard of Luoyang City, "those who shoot a thief will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and those who shoot and wound a thief will be rewarded with two taels of silver".

What made Wang Dou happy was that the thirty general Franco's machine guns left in front of the position by the defeated and breaking soldiers. These guns although some parts are scattered. But as long as the gun carriage is installed, it can be used. Wang Dou decided to stay in the army as his trophy, and he would also be pulled back to the east road after the war.

If he participated in the Battle of Matsuyama, all these generals and guns were also pulled.

The Buddha wolf cannon and the Hongyi cannon have their own advantages and disadvantages, to deal with the rogues, in fact, the Buddha wolf machine artillery is better to use, after all, the range is fast, the heat dissipation is fast, and the other party has no long-range artillery.

Wang Dou was in the land of the East Road, and the general Franc machine guns were less than thirty in total, and the guards of each city needed these cannons, and they traveled thousands of miles, so Wang Dou only brought ten Hongyi cannons.

Take advantage of their range as much as possible.

With these thirty generals' cannons that can almost hit a mile, Wang Dou is more sure of fighting the thieves.

As for the gunner, it is not a problem, Zhao Yan's artillery army has more than 300 people, and only 100 people have been used for ten Hongyi cannons. These gunners train hard, and they are skilled in handling Hongyi cannons, and they have no problem handling the Wolf machine artillery.

When the news of the great victory in Beiguan came out, the whole Luoyang City was overjoyed, the whole city was full of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and the name of the Shunxiang Army and the Forward Battalion was even more powerful in Luocheng.

King Fu in the city, Wang Yinchang, deputy envoy of the military garrison, and Lu Weiqi, the former secretary of the military department, were overjoyed, and summoned Wang Dou and Chen Yongfu to a banquet for several days, and the reward for killing the enemy quickly came down.

Nearly 10,000 taels of silver, Wang Dou generously gave half of it to Chen Yongfu.

Chen Yongfu also divided, and easily got so much silver, and the determination to kill the enemy was greatly strengthened from top to bottom of the forward battalion.

King Fu and others took the opportunity to publicize, so that the desire of the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang City to kill the enemy also swelled rapidly.

However, for the thirty general cannons captured by Wang Dou, Wang Yinchang, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, Kang Menghui, the prefect of Henan Prefecture, and others all had different thoughts. Thirty general cannons, and there are only eight general cannons in Luoyang City.

If you can get these thirty general cannons, the garrison of Los Angeles or Kaifeng Mansion will be even stronger in the future.

Of course, Wang Dou was unwilling to give these artillery, his attitude was very resolute, and Wang Yinchang and others had no choice. Fortunately, Wang Dou continued to stay in Luoyang, these artillery, too, are used as a force to defend the city, and the ownership of the artillery will be a matter of ownership, let's take a look at it in the future.

The victory of Beiguan, the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang celebrated for two days, and after the 10th day of the first month, the camp seemed to be silent for two days. Only on the 11th, on the 12th, there were dozens of rangers to Xiguan, Nanguan under the city, and the people in the city shot each other, and returned to the village at night.

Wang Dou knew that Henan Mansion was not broken but Luoyang, Li Zicheng had nothing to eat, and he wanted to feed his nearly 200,000 "army", Luoyang City was determined to win, and there must be a follow-up, so Wang Dou ordered close detection at night.

Judging from the information sent back from all sides, Li Zicheng built siege equipment in each battalion, and he will definitely attack again in the near future, and once he attacks, it will definitely be huge.

On the thirteenth day of the first month of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen.

The weather was gloomy, but the sky above Luoyang City was full of murderous sounds. Looking down from the head of Luoyang City, there are continuous barracks flags on all sides. The black-pressed rogues rushed towards the city in waves, as if they were about to break through the embankment like a tide.

Li Zicheng, who had been stagnant for several days, began to attack the city on a large scale, and the scale of the attack was unprecedented.

His soldiers and horses, in addition to tens of thousands of people surrounding Beiguan, then concentrated his forces and attacked the Dongguan, Nanguan, and Xiguan of Luoyang City. Those who attacked the three levels, each wave of impact, were thousands of men and horses, and the advantage of the rogue force was fully demonstrated.

In the middle of the morning, Wang Dou got the news: "What, Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai abandoned Dongguan and Nanguan and retreated into Luoyang City?" ”

Wang Dou was furious: "Rice bucket." ”

Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai not only guarded the east gate and south gate of Luoyang, but also guarded the east and west gates of Luoyang. According to Wang Dou's conjecture, no matter what, the two of them can also guard the Dongguan and Nanguan for a few days, but they didn't expect the Liukou to attack for a long time, and they couldn't stand it?

Wang Dou didn't receive the news that they had sent troops for help, but they retreated by themselves, how could this not make Wang Dou furious?

Chen Yongfu was also furious: "Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai, what are they doing?" ”

The retreat of Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai was very unfavorable to Beiguan, because the intrusive troops could attack the inner enclosure of the Yangma Wall of Beiguan from the north side of Dongguan, exposing a big hole in the defensive flank of the Yangma Wall defenders. Sure enough, I'm not afraid of god-like enemies, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates.

Wang Dou suddenly calmed down: "It seems that Liu and Luo have made up their minds to surrender to the thieves, and they have not surrendered to the thieves for the time being, but they just want to defend for a few more days and obtain the capital in the eyes of the thieves in order to win reuse." But within five days, they will definitely surrender thieves, Chen Junmen, we must be cautious. ”

Chen Yongfu said: "General Wang, should we quickly send troops to recapture Dongguan and Nanguan?" ”

Wang Dou shook his head: "There is no point in rescuing at this time, besides, our forces cannot be dispersed." ”

The two discussed a few words and ordered all the defenders outside the sheep and horse walls to withdraw to the city.

Soon another news came, because of the abandonment of Dongguan and Nanguan. The defenders of Xiguan also left the city and quickly retreated to the West Gate. The Chuang army soon occupied Dongguan, Nanguan, and Xiguan, and the offensive was temporarily stopped.

At the beginning of the afternoon, Wang Yinchang, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, urgently summoned Wang Dou and Chen Yongfu to discuss military affairs.
