Between shouting, the horse-tailed soldiers also quickly rushed towards the oncoming Wu army, and the two armies immediately collided with each other, and then intertwined with each other. The Mawei Army has never been trained every day, and it is much stronger than the soldiers of the Wu Army in terms of physical fitness, and it can also be said that the horsetail soldiers are stronger in bravery. More importantly, the Mawei Army has always emphasized teamwork, so the officers and men of the Mawei Army immediately formed a team of at least three people and a maximum of seven people after the battle, each forming a formation, and the power was suddenly several times stronger than that of individual combat, and the casualties of the soldiers of the Wu Army were far above the soldiers of the Mawei Army, and it was often the soldiers of the Mawei Army who died in battle, and the Wu Army had already died four or five.

"Don't stop, keep preparing! Target, two hundred meters ahead, prepare, fire! ”

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

The artillery position was in the rear of the three battalions of soldiers and horses, and the terrain was originally higher. When the Wu army pressed up before, the rows of torches that had been planted in advance a hundred meters before the military formation had also been pushed, but most of the Wu army pressed up, and the general position would not be wrong. The Wu army has a large number of soldiers and horses, and the queue is also long, and now as long as the cannon is fired in this direction, one hit at a time, there will be no mistakes.

The artillery on the artillery battalion position puffed up all its strength and opened fire on the Wu troops on the opposite side, and a single shell, whether it was a flowering shell or a grape shell, often exploded into a large area. But Wu Jun rushed forward desperately as if he had had enough chicken blood. Soon, it was completely mixed with the soldiers and horses of the third battalion of the Mawei Army. In this way, the Wu army behind them still drove up in a steady stream. Although the cannon gave them great fear, under the supervision of the Wu army's rear supervision team, they all rushed forward desperately.

There are also 300 artillery guards on this side, but these 300 people cannot move, and these 60 guns must be protected. On the side of the artillery camp position, the north side opposite the battlefield and the adjacent east and west sides were dug by Mawei soldiers in advance. Although this trench is not deep, on this darkly lit slope, if a Wu army rushes up, it will definitely fall into the ditch. Then the three hundred horsetail soldiers guarding the artillery position will use the muskets in their hands to make them lie in the trench forever.

This battlefield is not very wide, tens of thousands of people in the field of more than 200 meters long and wide are fighting here, just like this, nearly half of the soldiers and horses of the Wu army behind have not pressed up. On the battlefield, the two sides are fighting inseparably, and the artillery positions are also busy rapidly. The gunner reloads as fast as he can, and then fires. The barrels of forty general's guns have begun to get hot. It is expected that after about five more shots, it will have to stop to cool down. This is also due to the fact that the fire speed of the general cannon is too fast, and the sub-gun can be filled in and then the cannon can be fired. The rate of fire was almost three times that of the general's cannon, so it was only natural that the cannon was hot.

In the middle of the Wu army, because it was taken care of by the Mawei artillery, there was already a fault at this moment, and dozens of artillery pieces were bombarding this area, and every time the Wu army rushed to this position, it immediately fell in large numbers. The power of grape shells exerted the greatest damage at this time, and the high rate of fire of the general cannon was also reflected at this time. A round of artillery bombardment is more than a thousand round iron bullets, and five or six hundred will fall in the dense Wu army. More than a dozen rounds back and forth, more than 3,000 Wu soldiers have fallen at a distance of dozens of meters in the middle, dead, seriously injured who are not dead, tripped and trampled, etc., the tragic wails shook the surroundings, so that the Wu troops behind did not dare to rush again, and the corpses in front of them gave them great shock.

"Bastard! Wu Mengda, tell the cavalry battalion, and bring me the men and horses around to bring the cannons of the Mawei Army, and if the cannons on the opposite side are still ringing after a quarter of an hour, they don't have to come back! Wu Yingqi roared angrily. The darkest hour before dawn has passed, the sky is slowly becoming brighter, and the distant figures can be seen clearly on the battlefield, which also means that the battle on the battlefield is even more fierce.

The Wu cavalry had almost been discouraged in the last battle, and they were terrified of the muskets and artillery of the Mawei Army. But at this time, the military order was like a mountain, and the cavalry of the Wu army immediately set off towards the side of the Mawei army. Their own army had already merged with the Mawei Army, and the Mawei Army was still covered by the Mawei Army's artillery in front of them, so they had to make a detour from the side, then make a circle and rush up the slope.

The battle had been going on for half an hour, and in this half hour of fighting, no less than 6,000 corpses had fallen on the battlefield, and more than 1,000 were seriously wounded and lying on the ground wailing. Most of them were Wu troops, especially in the areas covered by artillery fire, and there were more than 3,000 in this place alone. However, on the battlefield, more than 1,500 soldiers of the Mawei Army also fell, and the fall meant that they could no longer stand up. At the very center of the battle, the remaining about 1,500 horsetail soldiers were still fighting hand-to-hand with the Wu army in the form of squads, and by this time, whether it was the Wu army or the horsetail army, their bodies were already about to be exhausted.

At this moment on the battlefield, there are more than 3,000 Wu troops still fighting with the Mawei army, and Wu Yingzhi looks like the Wu army has the upper hand from a distance, after all, they have the most people on the battlefield. In the middle of the place where the two armies fought and where Wu Yingzhi was located, that is, the area covered by artillery fire, an open space was formed at this time, and the soldiers of the Wu army behind were afraid to step forward, and even their commander did not urge them at this time.

At this moment, three miles away from the rear of the Wu army, two thousand cavalry division soldiers have arrived here. Jiang Yuanxun was not ready to go to the frontal battlefield to support after receiving the news of the Wu army's large-scale attack, and their men and horses were too few to play a big role in the frontal battlefield, so he took the men and horses around the path to the back of the Wu army, preparing to give the Wu army a fatal blow from behind. This trail was used once in the previous pursuit of the Wu army, when the Wu army was chased like a lost dog, and they didn't even notice how the three hundred soldiers arrived before them to block their retreat, because of the sudden ambush of the three hundred horsetail troops, they slowed down and lost hundreds of more cavalry.

This trail is indeed a nickname, and it is not easy to walk, not to mention the potholes, and only two rides are allowed to go in parallel. So the ranks of two thousand cavalry were pulled elders. The speed can't be fast. It took me an hour to walk through these ten miles and come to the open land. In this position, Jiang Yuanxun and the cavalry soldiers had already heard the sound of cannons and guns on the battlefield. The sound of artillery and gunfire came from the artillery position at this time. Both armies were fighting hand-to-hand in the center of the battlefield, and the Mawei Army had no chance to reload and shoot again.

At this time, more than 1,200 cavalry of the Wu Army rushed up the slope to the artillery position, only rushed to the position of 50 meters of the artillery position and fell into the trench pit. Now the cavalry of the Wu army is blocked by staggered trenches, many cavalry horses have lost their front hooves, and their speed has slowed down when they attack on the back, and the three hundred soldiers are the fastest speed to load, shoot, reload, and shoot, and so on.

On Jiang Yuanxun's side, two thousand horsetail cavalry quickly drove to the battlefield, and Jiang Yuanxun began to give orders: "Pass the order." All grenades ready! Go as planned! ”

Hearing Jiang Yuanxun's order, the herald stopped his horse and then gave the order to the galloping cavalry one by one. Two thousand horsetail cavalry soldiers lit fires one after another. Then he took out a black thing from the cloth bag on the side of the war horse and prepared it, needless to say that it was a grenade. Originally, their cavalry was not equipped with this thing, because it was not very useful, but after the first division came up, Jiang Yuanxun saw that this thing was quite powerful, and he should be able to use it when he turned around, so he transferred a batch from the first division.

Two thousand cavalry made a surprise attack, and the movement was not small, and Wu Yingqi, who was already in the rear, also discovered the abnormality, so he immediately ordered the rear army to form a formation to defend. His cavalry had already been sent out at this moment, and there was no cavalry at all that could compete with this large group of horsetail cavalry, and he resolutely gave in to the formation of the army to defend. But the saddest thing is that most of the archers of the Wu army were previously transferred to the forefront, and there were only a few people left to fight hand-to-hand with the Mawei army at this time. What made Wu Yingzhi a little strange was that the horsetail cavalry rushed up and did not hold a bow and arrow in his hand, nor did he have the short fire gun he saw last time, but he didn't know what he was holding.

"What are they going to do?" Wu Yingqi wondered. The other generals of the Wu army were also confused.

Just when Wu Yingqi was full of doubts, he only saw that Jiang Yuanxun and other horsetail cavalry had also reached fifty meters in front of their army formation, and the few archers on the Wu army's side shot arrows in unison, and the arrows flew towards the horsetail cavalry, which did cause some casualties, but this casualty was too small, and only about 20 people fell off their horses. The horsetail cavalry was covered with fine plate armor, and it was difficult for the arrows to penetrate it, but these unlucky bastards were hit in the face.

Jiang Yuanxun took the lead and shouted: "Everyone, prepare to drop the bomb and light the fuse!" As he spoke, he took out a short firearm and shot it in front of him. The sound of this gunshot was the signal, and the horsetail cavalry behind them officially deflected, passing by ten meters next to the Wu army's formation, and at the same time lit the fuse.

At the same time, the Qing soldiers had advanced to a distance of more than twenty paces from the defensive line, and the rain of arrows they shot was even more dense.

"Bomb dropping!"

With an order to drop the bomb, the soldiers of the Horsetail Cavalry Division lit the fuse of the grenade that they had already held in their hands and threw it twenty paces away from the flank.

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

At this time, the soldiers of the Wu army who had formed a formation were wondering why the horsetail cavalry did not draw their bows and shoot arrows and did not use their muskets, but they only saw countless small black dots flying towards them from the sky, although these Wu army heavy shieldmen standing in the front did not know what it was, but with the soldiers' natural sense of smell on the battlefield, they knew that what the horsetail army threw over would definitely not be a good thing.

Without hesitation, the heavy shields of the Wu army stood at the front and subconsciously raised the heavy shields in their hands to protect themselves, and then they heard a sound of knocking, as if they had been hit by a stone. However, many grenades flew over their heads and fell into the military formation behind.

Many of the Wu soldiers in the back were directly hit in the head in grief, and their heads were immediately opened. The Wu soldiers who were not hit looked down, but found that there was a black ball-like thing lying under their feet, still rolling forward, and several Wu soldiers couldn't help but crack their mouths and laughed: "Hahaha, those horsetail cavalrymen must have rusty heads, and they didn't use bows and arrows to hit us with stones!" No, it's an iron lump to hit us hahahaha! ”
