"He Ye, the sound has stopped."

He Jin, the king of Zuojin who led the troops to protect the last, frowned, and there was a burst of gunfire behind him just now, but now it has fallen silent. There were only two results, either the more than 100 brothers sent to kill the small group of officers and horses, or the brothers sent to them were all broken.

A moment later, the sound of horses' hooves behind them sounded again, and several horsemen appeared.

Blue cotton armor, red livery, and bright red helmet, the front rider is holding a flag gun, and the three-foot red gun flag is waving in the wind.

"It's the officer and army horses!"

There was an exclamation around him, and He Jin was a little dizzy, this official army was only ten horses, but it seemed that he could be killed. A team of more than 100 horsemen was sent to the front, but none of the people sent there now have returned, but there are still seven horsemen left in the ten cavalry officers.

"Master He, let someone take someone to cut them." A bandit man shouted.

"Shut up!" He Jin snorted, "Ignore them, pass the order, and speed up." ”

These ghosts and ghosts that could not be killed made He Jin's heart more and more heavy and uneasy. He didn't want to deal with these cavalry now, what if he killed them, it was just a few soldiers, and the nine-headed bird had 20,000 men. If you continue to waste time here, the nine-headed birds will catch up.

"How can these nine-headed birds have such a keen sense of smell, as soon as our side moves, they catch up."

The team continued to move forward, but the seven-horseed nine-headed bird behind it had been hanging far behind.

After walking for another half a day, when it was almost afternoon, He Jin suddenly heard a cannon sound in front of him, followed by the sound of fried beans and the dense sound of cannons.

"The officers and soldiers have gone around in front of us!" One of the bandits shouted in fright.

"How is this possible!" He Jin was also extremely shocked, even if the nine-headed bird had discovered their retreat since yesterday, it didn't catch up so quickly, let alone make a detour to intercept it in front.

"Maybe not the nine-headed bird."

"Then who else, Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng's soldiers are still in the Fengyang area. Shi Kefa's soldiers are still in Luzhen Pass, who else can there be besides the nine-headed bird. ”

"But the nine-headed birds are obviously behind us, how did they go around to the front?"

Liu Xiyao, the king of the reincarnation, walked in front with four battalions of more than 10,000 soldiers, and they had already been notified from behind, knowing that the scouts of the nine-headed bird were tightly tied behind, and their traces had been discovered. He ordered his men to unsheath their bows and wind them, and walked forward cautiously and quickly.

Liu Xiyao walked forward while paying attention to the terrain. Years of fighting have made him very alert and cautious. When he saw a small river in front of him, the opposite bank was densely wooded and hilly, and the terrain was suitable for an ambush, he immediately stopped his team, and then sent out a sentry horse, ready to go to reconnoitre.

However, although the order was handed down, no one obeyed it.

There are more than 10,000 men and horses in the four battalions of the front army. After walking for a day and a night, people were thirsty and sleepy, and as soon as they saw the river, they immediately couldn't stop. The battalion headquarters are manned. The noisy Qi rushed to the river, not caring about the formation of the military order, scrambling to bend down and drink water with his hand. Some people drank it out. I also took out the kettle that I had already drunk and drained to draw water.

In order to quench their thirst, they desperately squeezed to the bank of the river, and continued to expand to both sides. Four battalions of men. Soon a long line was drawn along the river bank.

In the midst of this confusion, suddenly a cannon rang out, and a lead bullet was blasted from the forest on the opposite riverbank, followed by countless fire guns and lead shots, and then a large number of cavalry were fiercely killed from the forest on both sides.

The sound of cannons shook the sky, the shouts of killing shook the ground, and the dense rain of bullets and lead hit the bandits, and in an instant, the dense and unsuspecting bandits by the river fell in large swaths, and the blood flowed into the river, making the river turn red.

Liu Xiyao, the king of reincarnation, was also stunned, but he reacted quickly and quickly shouted for his subordinates to regroup and move closer.

"Raise the banner and move closer to the banner!"

"Retreat, retreat a hundred steps!"

Liu Xiyao shouted, he also saw that the official army's firearms were powerful, and wanted to lead the team to withdraw from the range of firearms.

The artillery fire was flying, and the cavalry of the official army had already killed them, slashing and killing them in all directions, and the bandits were even more confused.

Suddenly, a dense whistling sound sounded on Liu Xiyao's head, and when he looked up, he saw countless lead bullets with smoke already shooting over.

Liu Xiyao asked his subordinates to hold high the banner and wave the soldiers and horses, but he was also discovered by the artillery of the nine-headed bird, and they took care of him as soon as possible, and gave him a saturation attack.

A lead bullet directly hit his war horse's head, half of the horse's head was gone, the war horse fell suddenly, Liu Xiyao quickly picked up the horse and quickly jumped on a war horse that had no owner, but at this time, another lead bullet fell, directly hitting his chest.

Liu Xiyao was directly smashed off the horse, and when he landed, his chest cavity had collapsed, bleeding from his seven orifices, and he was dying.

The fierce artillery fire continued, and Feng Sheng led the cavalry to sweep over like a violent wind, and the cavalry of the short guns, sabers, and nine-headed birds were like tigers out of prison, unstoppable.

The former army of the bandits lost the command of Liu Shiyao, and it became more and more chaotic, and it could no longer organize a formation, like a plate of scattered sand. Feng Sheng led his soldiers and horses to rush left and right, scattering them again and again.

At this time, the firecrackers also crossed the river from the opposite side of the riverbank, and advanced in horizontal rows. Some fierce thieves wanted to rush up, but the firecrackers of the nine-headed bird used the formation of nine links, and the gunners lined up in nine horizontal rows, shooting in one row at a time, one row of shots, the second row was connected, and each row stepped forward alternately.

After putting the gun, squat down to reload the gunpowder, and then walk to the front of the battle to release the gunpowder. In this way, the already chaotic bandits simply could not rush under the continuous firepower.

The bandits fled in all directions without a head or a brain, and more than 10,000 people in the four battalions were completely scattered.

Feng Sheng's killing was about to continue the pursuit, when there was a sudden sound of gold from behind, he shook the blood beads on the saber, wiped the blood on his face, and then turned the horse's head and returned.

"The bandit army is about to arrive, we have to reorganize our formation, hold our position, and we must not let the bandits escape." Deng Yuan, the guerrilla officer of the teaching camp, said to Feng Sheng, who came back.

"My old Feng understands, I don't need you to say more."

Although the front army of the bandits was swept away in a single blow, in fact, there were only 5,000 Nine-headed Birds here. When Liu Jun received the news that the bandits were going to run away, after a little consideration, he immediately sent Feng Sheng to lead the cavalry battalion, and Deng Yuan led the training battalion to quickly go around to the front of the bandits to intercept it, and then he led the rest of the troops to pursue behind.

In order to quickly get in front of the bandits, the cavalry of the cavalry battalion and the cavalry department in the training camp all took out their horses and gave them to the other soldiers and horses of the training camp to ride, and galloped all the way, and finally arrived here.

However, in order to come quickly, they traveled lightly, carrying only one bag of dry food per person, and only a hundred pounds of light cannons, and no heavier cannons.

Lao Hui Ma Shouying and Ge Li Yan He Yilong soon learned the news of the collapse of the former army, and the two of them were greatly frightened. Liu Xiyao led four battalions of soldiers, but they were defeated in a burst, but they couldn't hold out until their arrival.

"Where's Master Liu?"

"Liu Ye died in battle, and he was hit by a bombardment by dog officers and soldiers, and he was killed directly." One of the defeated soldiers replied in a panic.

He Yilong was shocked, "Liu Xiyao died like this?" ”

"The officers and soldiers are coming too fast, how many people are in front?"

The bandit who was brought over for questioning turned pale and replied tremblingly, "The officers and soldiers have ambushed many cannons on the other side of the river, as well as countless firecrackers, and many cavalry, estimated to be tens of thousands of horses. We were directly scattered by them, and the cannonballs in the sky couldn't hit at all. ”

"There can't be tens of thousands of people, and the nine-headed bird is only 20,000 soldiers and horses, how can they all come."

"But since the officers and soldiers brought a lot of artillery, a lot of firearms, and cavalry, then there must be at least 10,000 people."

Lao Hui nodded, "I'm afraid that the remaining tens of thousands of people are coming from behind, so we have to kill them immediately, or we will be trapped here." ”

Lao Hui asked Ge Liyan to collect the defeated soldiers of the former army, and he personally led the battalions of the Chinese army to kill the river, hoping to break through the interception of the official army in one fell swoop.

"Kill!"

Countless bandits rushed to the other side of the river like a huge torrent.

"The bandits are going to engage in crowd tactics!" Feng Sheng snorted coldly, the blood stains on his body had not had time to be cleaned up, and they were still blood-stained robes, but the cavalry battalion and the training battalion had retreated back to the other side of the river to form a formation, and the cavalry on both wings, with the musketeers in front and the artillery in the back. Because of the rush of time, they did not have time to dig trenches and set up camps, but they dragged the horses that were originally made to the bank of the river and set up three horse barriers.

"The tactics of the sea of people, maybe they were invincible before, but for us nine-headed birds, the last thing they are afraid of is the tactics of the sea of people." Deng Yuan laughed and said, the firearms of the nine-headed bird are very adequate, especially those Franc machine guns, firing shotguns, it is simply endless, a dozen and a large area.

"Although this small river is not deep, it can slow down the thief's charge very well."

"Well, let's get closer, and we'll shoot when they go down the river."

In the face of the overwhelming bandits, Deng Yuan and Feng Sheng were not worried at all.

The bandits soon rushed to the river with a shout, and they continued to rush forward directly through the river, the river was only knee-high, but it greatly slowed down their speed, and soon the river was densely packed with bandits.

"Fire!" Such a dense crowd is the most desirable thing for the artillerymen.

"Got it!" Dong Xing, the guerrilla general in charge of the artillery, replied with a laugh, and he waved his hand to the artillerymen around him, "It's time for our Shenwei artillery to play, and let the bandits see our latest artillery weapons!" ”

Several bronze cannons were pushed up, and this cannon was different from the ordinary Francophone or even the redcoat cannon, his barrel was extremely short, and the caliber was so large that it looked like a huge bell.

The front is thick and the back is constricted, the shape is like a bell, there are ears on both sides, and there is a four-wheeled wooden gun carriage to carry it, weighing up to 600 catties. In order to bring these divine cannons over, they took a lot of effort.

This is the latest product of the Armory Workshop Artillery Workshop.
