Inside the Tiger Head Fort, the energy accumulated by the gunpowder burning on the hundreds of Divine Fire Crows was exhausted, and the Fire Crows began to glide along the night wind with their outstretched wings. After losing the kinetic energy on the rocket, he began to descend slowly, and countless fire crows swooped down collectively, like a flock of birds returning to their nests.

The fire crow fell into the fort, and in the fort below, almost all the people of the fort had already run out of the house, and everyone carried buckets and basins, and they all ran to the well to fetch water.

Hundreds of fire ravens were about to fall when the cartridges tied to them were already on fire.

A fire crow fell on the roof of a wooden house, and the flames immediately set the roof on fire, and the dry roof immediately burst into flames.

Another Divine Fire Crow fell from the sky, and a woman hurriedly rushed over with a basin of water to extinguish it. But at this moment, the fire crow that fell to the ground suddenly burst out with a loud noise, a ball of fire rushed to the face, the woman held the basin and couldn't dodge, was pounced by the flames, the fire was incomparably vigorous, instantly swallowed the woman in the flames, the woman screamed and lifted the basin of water to pour down her head, but the water did not extinguish the fire, but made the flames more vigorous, in a blink of an eye, this fire crow with an open flame formula, engulfed an innocent woman.

A fire crow landed on the street, suddenly spewing out countless smoke, and the people who were rushing to extinguish it inhaled the smoke, and suddenly felt dizzy, and the whole person was unsteady on his feet, coughing and falling to the ground.

"Smoke is poisonous!" A citizen shouted hard at his throat and struggled to crawl out.

More and more fire crows are falling, some with poisonous smoke, some with fierce fire.

There was chaos inside the fort, and many wooden houses were on fire.

"Wet a towel with water, cover your mouth and nose, put out those fire crows with soil, and don't use water!" Zhao Shun, who hurried from the city, looked at the huge damage and chaos caused by the fire crow, his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his steps were even a little weak. He had heard of this kind of firearm from his father before, and his father once told him that when the Ming army entered Korea to fight against the Japanese people in the Wanli Dynasty, he used this kind of flying crow.

However, at that time, the official army did not only use a kind of flying crow, at that time, the official army faced the city occupied by the Japanese people and resisted it, and waited until the dead of night when the Japanese thieves were asleep, first shot into the city with poisonous fire arrows, smoked with poisonous smoke, and then shot into the burning city with open fire arrows, forcing the Japanese people to go out of the house to put out the fire, at this time the official army fired artillery bombardment outside the city.

This tactic is precisely to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared.

On the Korean battlefield, the poisonous arrows of the official army shot in like locusts, covering the entire city with a layer of poisonous smoke, making the thieves dizzy and vomiting, and then set fire to the fire with fire crow rockets to create chaos, and then bombarded with artillery.

At this time, the elite soldiers and horses were adjusted, with the dissolution pill in their mouths, and the wet hair armor around their mouths and noses, and they used the cloud ladders prepared in advance to climb the city and enter in one fell swoop. Even at that time, they were equipped with a kind of poisonous dragon fire-breathing can, this three-foot-long spray canister, filled with poisonous gunpowder and rotten gunpowder, hung on a high pole, when attacking, aimed at the enemy's battlements, set off with the wind, spraying flames and poisonous smoke, making the enemy unconscious, flying sand can also hurt the eyes and lose combat effectiveness.

Zhao Shun did not expect that these special firearms that the Ming official army had invented to deal with the thieves on the Korean battlefield were actually used by the thieves to deal with the tiger head fort today.

Bang!

Another fire crow exploded, and the medicine cartridge under this fire crow was filled with many rivets, and when it exploded, many prism nails sputtered in all directions, and several people were shot and injured.

At this moment, the Hutou Fort was like falling into hell, the sound of explosions came and went, the flames rose from time to time, igniting the houses, and there were clouds of poisonous smoke in the air, making people vomit and dizzy. There is also the exploding fire crow, which hurts countless people.

In the previous attack of the thieves, the people in the fort were not harmed at all, but tonight, this wave of Divine Fire Crows killed and injured no less than forty or fifty people at once. Among them, no less than ten died directly, and there were dozens of poisoned burns and blast injuries. More than a dozen houses were burned down, and the damage was greater than the onslaught of 3,000 thieves in a day and a night.

Liu Jun stood at the head of the city, watching the fire rising in the fort and the screams of the people, and his heart ached. He never thought that the damage of this wave of fire crows would be so great.

At this moment, there was also a burst of explosions in front of the thieves outside the city.

At first, Liu Jun thought that the city's artillery fire had hit the thief's artillery backfire, but he soon found out that this was not the case.

"The thief's artillery is blown up!"

Cai Yuan was a little dumbfounded and said to Liu Jun, as if he was still a little incredulous. The thieves' artillery fire was too fierce tonight, and it caused them a lot of trouble for a while, but they didn't expect it to explode now.

"Bang bang bang!" There was another series of explosions, and the fire in front of the thieves was louder, and the explosions were louder.

Cai Yuan, Liu Jun and other officers looked at each other, thinking about one thing in their hearts, and they couldn't believe it, could it be that they were so lucky, the thief's artillery blew up and then exploded into the powder keg, causing a martyrdom?

It's hard to believe, but it turns out. Although there was still a roar in front of the thieves, no lead bullet smashed into the city wall.

Zhang Shousheng, the head of the bandits' artillery fire, was lucky enough to dodge the hundred-pound exterminating cannon that fell from the sky, and he didn't have time to rejoice that he was born after the catastrophe, and he was immediately speechless by a fact he had just discovered.

Their palm, the dignified brother who returned to the court, the Drill Sky Leopard Ma Shoucheng was in charge of the plate, the Ma Shoucheng who had just ignored his suggestion and forced him to continue firing the cannon, was lying under his feet at the moment, with anger on his face, but he would never be able to open his mouth. There was a captive cannon barrel pressed on the waist of this palm plate, and the hundred-pound cannon barrel directly smashed Ma Shoucheng's waist, and a piece of flesh and blood was blurred, and only a little blood skin was still connected.

The palm plate died, the dead can no longer die, just died, crisscrossed the Central Plains for more than ten years, and finally died in such a small place as Macheng, eastern Hubei Province, or in front of a nameless small fortress in the north of Macheng, not in the hands of such a famous general of the imperial court, but died in the hands of a small regimental training general.

Or even die under their own barrels.

Zhang Shousheng's head was empty, and the whole person was stunned, not knowing what to think at all.

The palm of the plate is dead, dead.

Looking around, the explosion just now detonated several ammunition trucks, and the gunners were screaming and hugging their heads.

And with this round of self-explosion, the besieging men and horses lost artillery support, and were also beaten by the defenders at the head of the city, and retreated again.

What now?

He suddenly found that he seemed to have become the highest level in this battalion, and the rest of the managers below the plate, Ma Chao died, and there were only two managers left, one was himself, and the other led the team to attack the city, and now I don't know whether it is dead or alive.

Keep fighting, or withdraw?

By this time the attacking men had retreated, and he pulled over one of them and asked aloud where the other chief was. The man's answer made him even more frightened, and the chief personally went into battle to direct the siege, but was hit by the thieves' artillery fire, and even the corpse of the capital could not be found.

Damn, another one was killed by the shelling.

The artillery chief shuddered, then looked back at the tiger's head fort, then gritted his teeth and shouted, "Withdraw!" ”

"Withdraw!"

"The wind is tight, pull it!"

"Run."

"The palm of the plate is dead, run."

"The officers and soldiers are out of the city, run."

The army was defeated, the thief was killed, and the thief also collapsed.

At the head of the city, Liu Jun was a little confused.

Is the thief going to run?

No, even if you want to withdraw, it's not like this. Looking at the chaotic phenomenon of running away in a swarm, it was as if 100,000 Yamas had been killed behind.

"Will the thieves want to deceive us when they see that the attack is not working, will they try to lure us out of the city?" Zhang Shan asked puzzled.

Liu Jun looked back at the tiger head fort, and then looked at the thieves who were running wolf and rabbit, and his two hands were clenched into fists.

In an instant, he had already made a decision.

"Inform the Cavalry Division, assemble immediately, and we'll kill you!"

"Big brother? Beware of deception. ”

"I don't have to say more, I'll give the order immediately." Liu Jun waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Shan's reminder, he had his own judgment. Since last night to now, the thieves have carried out three attacks, all three of which failed, and they have lost more than 1,000 people before and after, more than half of which have been lost. If it weren't for the fact that this was an attack in three parts, or a siege battle, Liu Jun believed that the thieves who had lost more than half of the men and horses would have collapsed a long time ago.

If it is a head-on battle in the field, few armies can lose more than 20% of their men and horses, and they can still not retreat. What's more, although the army in front of him is an old thief, they are also thieves.

The loss of half of the men and horses has long exceeded the bottom line of this thief's insistence. And it is obvious that the explosion of the thief's artillery position just now was the last straw that crushed the thief's psychology.

Even, maybe the leader of the thieves was injured or killed in the explosion just now, otherwise they wouldn't have run so badly, this is simply a state of instant collapse.

At this time, if you are more conservative, you should sit at the head of the city and watch the thieves flee, but now Liu Jun has a breath of anger in his chest, and the wave of fire crows of the thieves has caused great damage to Hutou Fort.

Now Liu Jun didn't want to let them escape.

The order was handed down, and the cavalry division members who had been on standby in the Tibetan Soldier Cave immediately assembled in the urn city.

Liu Jun personally led the team.

"Open the gates and put the drawbridge!"

The horn sounded, the gates slowly opened, and the drawbridge was lowered. Liu Jun pulled out his sword, swung it forward, and shouted, "Kill!" ”

The horse's hooves flew over, and the cavalry division rode out of the city.

Feng Sheng led the team that did not close at night, and Liu Jun's personal army also rode together. More than 100 horsemen came out of prison like fierce tigers and galloped forward.

Liu Jun rode on a horse, his eyes were firmly fixed on the thief, although he ordered the pursuit, but he was also vigilant, if the thief had any people-like moves, he would immediately stop the pursuit.

However, the thieves were just blindly running away, and even found that after they chased them out of the city, they ran more embarrassed and desperate.

The thieves don't seem to be acting, they are now completely fleeing, and no one can lure the enemy like this. The enemy has lured it out, and it is impossible for them to gather their troops in time to return to battle.

"Kill!"

The cavalry of the nine-headed bird, except for the night team and Liu Jun's personal team, is a real cavalry, although the cavalry division has the name of cavalry, it is actually a fire team, they are equipped with two horses, but the battle is not on the horse. Rather, they rode and maneuvered, or detoured, or flanked, and when they had reached their intended purpose, they were to dismount and form a formation and shoot the enemy with their muskets.

The main reason for this unique combat method is that the arquebus is not suitable for immediate combat, firstly, the arquebus bird gun will affect the ignition during the gallop, second, the recoil of the bird gun is still too strong, and the third is that the immediate movement will make the inaccurate bird gun more able to shoot at the target.

Although the cavalry in the northern frontier army was armed with firearms many years earlier, they were armed with three-eyed guns, a type of musket that was far more backward than the arquebus. Although the northern army likes to use the three-eyed gun, there are still too many shortcomings of the three-eyed gun, and the biggest disadvantage is that the range is too long, but the effective range of twenty steps makes the knight with the three-eyed gun not have much effect.

You can't shoot until you're twenty paces, but the enemy cavalry is already shooting arrows at sixty or seventy paces, and by the time you can shoot, they're almost ready to shoot you two or three arrows. As for the so-called three-eyed gun that can shoot three shots, cavalry combat, it can be fired at twenty paces, and when the enemy reaches twenty paces, do you still have time to fire three shots?

And after the so-called three-eyed gun and three shots, you can directly change your posture and use it as a mace, which is even more chicken. When cavalry fights, will there be a shortage of such an iron hammer?

In short, the cavalry equipment is too chicken, and Liu Jun can't look down on it. It can be equipped with a three-eyed gun, but it is accurate for long-range shooting, but the recoil is strong, and it is not easy to ignite and aim immediately, so in the end, before designing a new type of cavalry suitable for cavalry, Liu Jun can only train his cavalry to be a cavalry that can maneuver on horseback, and then dismount and shoot in formation.

The knights of the Night and Pro Bands charged ahead, they were the real killers of the horses, galloping, carrying bows and firing repeatedly, and the slower bandits were constantly falling to the ground with arrows.

"Rush, rush, rush, rush in front of the thieves, and we will copy their retreat!" Liu Jun shouted loudly while swinging a knife to cut down a thief who was being chased.

Liu Jun knew that only two cavalry teams could not keep these bandits, and the thieves still had more than 1,000 horses. Only by going around in front of them and letting more than a hundred cavalry men form a formation to block them, can we have a chance to stop them, or most of the thieves.

The thieves are still on the run, and there are still a lot of cavalry among them, which is the most elite of the thieves, and it turns out that they are all Ma Shoucheng's personal soldiers. Most of them had two horses in one person, and at this time, the group of thieves had no leader, and without anyone to command, these horse thieves directly abandoned the walking thieves behind them, and only cared about themselves and fled.

After running for a long time in the dark night, Liu Jun still couldn't stop those horse thieves. However, at this time, it has surpassed those thieves who fled on foot. Seeing that the horse thieves had fled without a trace, Liu Jun simply stopped pursuing.

"Dismount, the cavalry division will form a formation on the spot, and the team will not close at night and the pro-soldier team will ride the wings to protect!" Liu Jun gave the latest order, and then called a personal soldier, "You go back immediately and bring the rest of the brothers in the fort." "Those horse thieves escaped, and the rest of the bandits, Liu Jun plans not to let go of any of them.
