Although the Jin army's daring commandos charged bravely, they fell in pieces under the repeated bombardment of the Phoenix Legion's artillery fire and the dense rain of bullets, suffering heavy casualties and a heavy setback to their spirits.

Countless tribal warriors held torches, roaring and urging to step off their horses and charge, in the dark night, like countless fireflies fluttering and flying, the sound of iron hooves rumbled, earth-shattering, and the entire prairie shook violently.

When the death commandos retreated, the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion who were fighting on the front line gained precious respite, and Lu Hongniang took advantage of this short gap to withdraw the combat troops to rest, and let the reserves take over the defensive line, but the three thousand white pole soldiers could not be withdrawn, they were divided into three teams and guarded the front line to prevent the cavalry of the Jin Army from breaking through the fence defense line.

If it was broad daylight, Lu Hongniang was not worried at all, but now it was night, and her vision was seriously limited, so she couldn't help but be vigilant and on guard in case of accidents.

Fortunately, these three thousand white pole soldiers are all elite veterans carefully selected by Qin Liangyu, hard-working, heroic and tenacious in battle, and they did not really participate in the previous battles, but they just stood next to them to help the musketeers escort the formation, and occasionally stabbed over some fish that slipped through the net and climbed the fence, which was not exhaustive, and it was no problem to hold on until dawn.

Boom Boom Boom ......

After watching the little fluorescent light fluttering in the distance enter the range of the Franc cannon, all the Franc cannons fired wildly, and the artillery shot out one after another as fast as possible, killing and injuring the crazy Jin cavalry as much as possible.

The flames from the shells were particularly dazzling at night, and the shrapnel fired everywhere knocked down the tribal knights and horses within the killing range, and the miserable howls were endless, but the brave tribal knights still roared and charged forward, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed into the blind corner of the range of the Franco's cannon.

However, the next thing they have to face is a dense rain of bullets and a wide and deep trench, the war horse that sprints with all its strength can jump over the trench, but there are too many factors affected, it is dark, the vision is not clear, the ground is full of corpses and wounded soldiers who are struggling and howling, etc., if you are not careful, the horse may stumble and fall, so the night battle is not that it is so easy to fight if you want to fight, the reason why Yue Tuo wants to fight the night battle is also a little helpless, the Ming army's musket artillery is too powerful, The once invincible cavalry charge in the field can no longer take advantage of the slightest.

Bang bang bang......

The platoon gun rang out, and the tribal knight who charged at the front howled miserably and fell from his horse, or the war horse was shot, and threw the knight on his back away, but the lucky one only broke his hands and feet, and the unlucky one broke his neck bone and hung up on the spot.

However, the speed of the war horse sprinting at full speed was too fast, and when the second round of guns rang out, the charging tribal knights had already narrowed the distance, and rushed to the front of the trench in the blink of an eye, some of the war horses jumped in the air and jumped over the trench, and some of the unlucky ones failed to jump over, the war horses neighed and fell into the ditch, and many fast-reacting knights stiffly strangled the horses, turned their horses' heads and ran back, intending to sprint and jump again.

The knights in front turned around, and the knights who were charging at full speed behind were afraid of bumping into their companions, so they had to slow down, and they were instantly stirred up, affecting the entire sprinting cavalry, and the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion behind the civil engineering wall just obeyed the officer's orders, mechanically repeating their usual training actions, aiming their guns at the front, hooking the trigger, retreating, reloading ammunition, and moving forward, ending the guns, hooking the trigger, and repeating the cycle.

The dense rain of bullets knocked down a large number of tribal knights huddled in front of the trench, and the knights who managed to jump over the trench were not spared, many of them were shot and fell from their horses, and only a few who were lucky enough to throw their torches out in time to throw them hard, and then drew their weapons stuck in their backs, and rushed towards the wall with a roar.

Boom Boom Boom ......

One after another, the sparkling thunderbolts drew a brilliant arc in mid-air, smashed to the ground, and after a few breaths, they exploded into clusters of dazzling firelight, blasting the approaching tribal knights into bloody flesh.

These thunderbolts are filled with picric acid gunpowder, not only the explosion produces a large number of flames, once it is stained with a little bit of it can not be extinguished, the tribal warriors who were splashed by the sparks struggled on the ground and howled, trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies, but the flames burned bigger and bigger, and in a blink of an eye, they became a fire man, which was particularly eye-catching at night, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt barbecue, which was disgusting and disgusting.

The trench affected the formation and speed of the charge of the tribal knights, and bought precious time for the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion behind the camp fence, they shot desperately, and shot the tribal cavalry rushing in pieces with a dense rain of bullets, and some unlucky soldiers were shot by the flying arrows, screaming and falling, and were immediately dragged down by the medical guards for treatment, and the soldiers behind were vacant to keep the formation intact.

The brave tribal warriors braved the rain of bullets to attack frantically, but suffered heavy losses under the stubborn defense of the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion, and the attacks on the front and right flanks hit the iron plate, but the attack on the left flank made progress for a while, so that Yue Tuo and others were pleasantly surprised and immediately ordered to put into the second attack echelon, most of which were put into the left flank battlefield.

On the left flank of the defense line, the three grassroots officers who commanded the battle in front of the battle were killed and wounded by arrows, and were carried down by the medical guards for treatment, the defense line once appeared chaotic and commotion, and the second battle echelon that took over the defense line was mostly the new recruits who went to the battlefield for the first time, and in the face of the crazy attack of the cavalry of the Jin Army, they were very nervous, and even a little panicked, and they were jumped into the camp by the cavalry of the Jin soldiers several times, causing some casualties, but fortunately, the cavalry that rushed in was only a few horses, and they were quickly shot and killed by random guns, or stabbed by the white pole soldiers with spears.

Fortunately, the political work officers and veterans who were escorted to the battle were appeased again and again, stabilized the morale of the army, inspired the soldiers, and threw out more than 20 thunderbolts to blow up the approaching Jin soldiers, and under the command of the new officers who took over the command, the soldiers suppressed and blocked the crazy attack of the Jin army with a dense rain of bullets.

The rumbling guns and the earth-shattering roar of killing sounded all night, the soldiers on both sides fought bloodily, the military camp built by the civil fortification was like a huge meat grinder, frantically devouring the young lives of the soldiers on both sides, the Jin army invested one attack force after another, and the Phoenix legionnaires guarding the barracks also fought in turn, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted, until the sky began to be gray, and the attacking Jin army retreated.

Yue Tuo had to order a retreat, the Phoenix Legion's defense was tenacious beyond everyone's expectations, and an indestructible net of death was built with a dense rain of bullets, which had been overcome, morale had been frustrated, and the most important thing was that the losses were too great, and some of the small tribes that served as cannon fodder had a death rate of more than half, and their vitality was greatly damaged, and it was difficult for them to recover from the second or third generations.

After a night of fighting, the warriors were exhausted, and the heavy casualties also made their morale low, and continuing to launch a strong attack could only increase the casualties, Yue Tuo had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army to rest, and at the same time sent an envoy to the camp of the Phoenix Legion to discuss the disposal of the corpses.

If the remains of fallen soldiers are not buried in time, they are prone to plague, which is a fatal matter for either side, and it is an unwritten rule to allow migrant workers on both sides to clean up the bodies.

Lu Hongniang had no objection to this, but when cleaning the battlefield, the abandoned weapons and equipment near the trench, the horse corpses belonged to the Phoenix Legion, and the corpses and wounded soldiers of the tribesmen were carried over and let the Jin people dispose of them themselves.

As a result, there was a harmonious scene on the battlefield after the war, with young and strong migrant workers on both sides picking up weapons and equipment, carrying horse carcasses and other work on the embarrassing battlefield, and there was even zero distance contact in some places, but they just glanced at each other, and then continued to work with their heads down.
