Zhang Xianzhong has just debuted for a few years now, and to some extent he is still a dirt bun, but the dirt bun does not mean that he is not enduring, like this kind of person who can be written about in history, no matter good or evil, loyal and traitorous, there is absolutely no fuel-efficient lamp, just one round of confrontation, he has already seen that this battle is not easy to fight, the opponent's firepower is unusually fierce, his side paid 5,000 casualties, and he was unable to hit the other party, this kind of battle he has never encountered when he is so big.

Fortunately, there are still 14,000 people left in front, although Zhang Xianzhong is a little uncertain in his heart, he still asks people to continue to urge the front to charge, and at the same time calls another 20,000 people to start arraying, ready to release the first wave of troops when they can't rush, let this group of fresh troops continue to charge, and see how long the other party can hold on.

It's just that his thinking is somewhat simple, although there are still 14,000 people left in front of him, but they are obviously all stunned, although they continue to move forward under the compulsory order, but the momentum is more than one point weaker than before, and the speed is definitely not as desperate as the first charge, because everyone knows what is on the other side of the road, the black and beautiful and shiny burning sticks, can make them fall in pieces, look at the few soulless companions in front of them, they can imagine.

But they had no choice but to continue to rush forward under the coercion of the leader, Song Qing's side of course also unceremoniously continued to fire, and after a few rounds of volleys, the ranks of the displaced people had been sharply reduced to about 10,000 people, and the corpses in front were also piled up everywhere, so that it was impossible for the people behind to speed up, and some people could even only stop in place as targets, fortunately, the fire gun on Song Qing's side needed to take a temporary break because the barrel was overheated, and the auxiliaries quickly rushed up with a rag stained with cold water, and used this very primitive method to cool down the barrel, The almost endless buckshot offensive finally stopped. The rogue side can be regarded as a hard-won respite.

Zhang Xianzhong, like Song Qing, is a person who is very good at seizing opportunities, and when he saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the fire team on the opposite side, he immediately sent the other 20,000 people up, leaving only 10,000 soldiers and horses, including more than 2,000 old brothers, to stay behind and watch the battle, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Brothers, their burning sticks can't be beaten, rush over to me now, as long as you get close." These dog officers and soldiers must not be our opponents, a head and a tael of silver, kill Lao Tzu! ”

A head of one or two silver, this is Zhang Xianzhong's method of dealing with elite officers and soldiers, always invincible, now it will naturally work if he says it, although those homeless people were almost stunned by the previous firecracker, but now it can also be seen that those iron pipes that can set fire to smoke and kill people can not be used. It seems that someone is scrubbing with a wet rag, and I don't know what the road is doing, but at the moment there is no threat but it can be determined, and I don't see that the archers on the opposite side have already stepped up. I'm going to take over those iron pipes.

Archers are not so afraid of the troops they have seen, especially since the other party only has a thousand people, and 30,000 people can rush through. The courage of the displaced people gradually rebounded, and with the addition of 20,000 new troops, 30,000 people rushed to the opposite side again. The archers of the beggar army were not ambiguous, and immediately began to shoot heavily, trying to block the other party more, and delay time for the fire soldiers behind them, they now dare not underestimate those people at all, killing 10,000 displaced people in a short time, the air is filled with blood, no matter where this kind of achievement is placed, no one will feel that it is a failure, they are also veterans, and they can naturally see the power of those fire guns.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that the firecrackers didn't plan to fight again, but the artillery fought again, causing hundreds of casualties and then retreated, and the remaining three thousand pikemen came up, they walked neatly, formed a hedgehog-like spear phalanx, and stood at the forefront without fear, and when all the archers withdrew, they became the main force against the homeless army, and it didn't take much effort to collide with the vanguard of the homeless army, or it was hit by others.

After the impact, something surprising happened to the homeless, the officers and soldiers who thought they would be crushed by a blow did not flinch, but they carried them so hard, the spears continued to take away their lives in rows, and countless homeless people who were still extremely excited were poked to death in front of the inconspicuous spear array, and some who were lucky enough not to die were killed by the leading officers with handcuffs or long knives, and the team of more than 20,000 people in front of the three thousand pikemen was like rags that were torn back and forth, without the slightest ability to resist, I could only dodge the spears as much as possible, trying to find a way forward, but in the end, I could only stay where I was, becoming the next corpse.

For the current combat effectiveness of the pikemen, Song Qing did not have the slightest worry, if it was against the cavalry troops of the Houjin, or the Mongolian archers and cavalry, they might be worse, after all, many of the Houjin were heavy cavalry, and the charging ability was extremely strong, if the spear formation wanted to stop them, at least in the early stage, it would pay a very heavy price, and the archery cavalry was very mobile, if the other party did not rush over, the spear formation really had no way to take them, only with bows and arrows and fire guns could they deal with this kind of cavalry, Or use similar cavalry to entangle with them, and slowly find a way to lure them into the encirclement, and use the cooperation of various arms to narrow the scope of extermination.

But to deal with these displaced people, there is no need to worry about those, the only advantage of the displaced people is that there are many people, but in front of the elite of the official army who are not too small in number and much stronger in training and equipment than them, the large number of people will not play any role at all, and they can only make more corpses to increase the credit of the officers and generals.

God is pitiful, Song Qing even saw a single charge in a single coat in the ranks of the homeless, and then he was easily poked to death by a spear, without even struggling movements, no wonder the previous fire gun was so lethal, in addition to their formation being too dense, this defense power that is almost equal to zero is also a big problem.

Zhang Xianzhong also saw this problem, and he didn't plan to continue fighting, these Xuzhou soldiers in front of him gave him a feeling of not moving like a mountain, but he could still feel that the other party had accumulated a very strong energy, but this energy could not be seen in the defensive state, and now the party was just standing in place and fighting, and did not storm over, his side could not support it, if they were tired and their morale was almost exhausted, Song Qing turned his hand to attack, what would it be?

This scene is so beautiful, Zhang Xianzhong didn't dare to look at it at all, so he decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops, and led the 10,000 people to quickly leave the battlefield, and let those who had already attacked be left to fend for themselves, anyway, those homeless people had nowhere to go, staying alone in the wilderness, they were killed by officers and soldiers sooner or later, returning to the army camp was their only choice, as for how much they could go back, it depended on their own creation, his eight kings were not in the mood to save these people, especially in the case of possibly putting themselves in, they were even more uninterested, Anyway, there are so many of these homeless people, as long as they break through a county seat, or even just sweep around the countryside, they can pull out as much as they want.

Song Qing didn't bother to chase after Zhang Xianzhong, now the Eight Kings are just famous, far from being worth his start, and when the other party and Li Zicheng and others become famous, it will be a good time for him to take credit for these people, and Zhang Xianzhong has nowhere to go at the moment, just to go to Gao Yingxiang to meet, maybe he will meet again in a few days.

But at the moment, this group of displaced people, he thinks it is very good, there are many mines in Xuzhou, which have been covered by him, and he is worried that there are not enough people to open the mines, if he can digest the nearly 20,000 people, the matter of mining will be solved, and he can also provide a full meal for the displaced people, and he can also die less.

Therefore, he did not choose to chase Zhang Xianzhong, but began to let him surrender these homeless, the reactions of the homeless people were not the same, those who had been surrounded by officers and soldiers, naturally surrendered without hesitation, but the rest still planned to escape, Song Qing naturally refused to let go, and hurriedly called the cavalry of the beggar army to attack, intercepting these people everywhere, planning to drive the homeless people back, and then surround them with a military array, and then announce the favorable conditions of the Xuzhou soldiers to treat the prisoners well, recruit all these people, and pull them to Xuzhou to open mines for themselves.

Who knew that at this moment, another group of officers and soldiers came from the north, and when they saw that the officers and soldiers here were chasing the Liukou, they immediately rushed up, and did not report their names, and directly slashed and killed the mainstream people, after killing for a while, many people began to pick up the corpses of the homeless people, searching for some copper coins and the like, so that Kong Youde, who chased him out, frowned, raised the long knife in his hand, and asked loudly: "Who are you waiting for, why do you not understand the rules so much?" We defeated all of these rogues, and we didn't see you in the war just now, but now it's quite quick to grab credit! ”

"Grab credit? Who took the credit? Who the are you? As soon as Kong Youde's words fell, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young general flashed out of the officers and soldiers opposite, his face was handsome, but there was a bit of a gloomy aura between his eyebrows, he didn't look like a good character, and he didn't know how to speak politely, it seemed that grabbing credit was common in his eyes, and the spear in his hand pointed at Kong Youde and said: "What about the young master, who the hell are you?" Where did the military horses come? Don't talk about it, the master will do it! ”

Kong Youde is also short-tempered, where can he bear this anger, and was about to step forward to make a move, when he suddenly saw a big flag flashing in the opponent's array, with the word 'left' written on it, he suddenly became suspicious and asked: "That little baby, who are you Zuo Liangyu?"
