Tan Biao was still lying on the small dirt slope, holding a monocular to look into the distance to observe the cavalry of the people's army rumbling from far to near, and at the bottom of the small dirt slope, the soldiers of the whole battalion had quickly lined up in battle formation, loading ammunition, these actions were all usual training subjects, they changed from familiar to habitual, and the actions of loading ammunition in the formation were very fast.

In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, everyone squatted down, and in front of the first row of soldiers there were more than 20 soldiers, who held a thunderbolt in one hand and a fire rope that had been lit in the other, intending to give Sun Kewang a big meal as soon as they saw their faces.

The rumbling hooves were getting closer and closer, and everyone who was squatting could clearly feel the shaking of the ground, Tan Biao was still lying on the dirt slope, but the monoculars had been put into the sheepskin bag hanging on his chest, and his right hand was stretched back, preparing to give the order to drop the bomb.

Sun Kewang led 2,000 cavalry to gallop, Xiaotupo was his destination, after arriving, he would divide a thousand elite soldiers to dismount and enter the forest, intercept Wei Shuangxi's death squad, and lead a thousand cavalry to guard the outside of the forest, waiting to intercept and kill the rout who escaped from the woods.

Approaching the small dirt slope, Sun Kewang reined in his mount, and when the war horse had not stopped, he had turned over and dismounted, and his riding skills were quite skilled, and the two thousand cavalry behind him also followed the reins, and they gathered in front of him, waiting for his order.

Sun Kewang was about to give orders, but suddenly his subordinates in front of him all looked up at the sky, with strange expressions on their faces, he was stunned in his heart, frowned and looked up, and saw iron bumps with green smoke falling in mid-air, what was going on?

In the strange sound of tuk tuk, the iron lumps that fell from the sky fell into the crowd, falling to the ground, still emitting wisps of green smoke, a few unlucky eggs were hit in the head, screaming and falling on the spot, Sun Kewang won the jackpot, and three of the iron lumps fell on the front and back respectively.

This is......

Not only Sun Kewang, the brains of his two thousand elite soldiers were blank in an instant, this thing is very terrifying, a bomb can blow down a large number of people, but how can it fall from the sky, and the ghost in broad daylight can't be hit?

"Run, ......"

Some veterans reacted, let out frightened screams, and ran away, but some people seemed to be frightened, staring blankly at the green smoking iron bumps at their feet, and many people instinctively stepped on the horses and wanted to turn over their horses, and then the iron bumps exploded, blowing up a cloud of fire and billowing smoke.

In the successive explosions, the war horse neighed, fell down with a boom, the stump and broken arm were thrown away, and the dense team was blown down in an instant, Sun Kewang only had time to run two steps before he screamed and fell, his chest and back were blurred with flesh and blood, and he didn't know how many iron balls of shrapnel he had eaten? His horse also lay in a pool of blood and spasmed.

The original history, this buddy was cleared and killed after losing its use value, but now it is hanging here in a daze, and the trajectory of history has changed a little here.

The soldiers in the front row of the 2nd Independent Battalion threw thunderbolts and quickly retreated, and the soldiers in the phalanx behind them quickly stood up, stepped up the small dirt slope under the command of the officer, lit the fuse with the fire rope, and aimed the muzzle of the black hole at the enemy who scattered and fled.

Bang bang bang......

The platoon shot down more than 20 fleeing enemies, then the second platoon strode forward, lit the fuse and released the guns, the third platoon strode forward to release the guns, the fourth platoon continued to move forward, and so on and so on, until the scattered and fleeing enemies ran away before they stopped firing.

"Retreat immediately."

Tan Biao ordered a retreat without caring about cleaning up the battlefield, this place is too close to the southern camp of the people's army, and if he moves slowly, he will be in danger of falling into a heavy siege, so he will retreat to a safe place first.

It didn't take long for a small group of scouts from the Zhang Jiajun to find them, they happened to be moving nearby, they heard the explosion, they rushed to take a look, only to see the corpses of different deaths all over the ground, abandoned weapons, armor, battle flags or something, they could only carry Sun Kewang's already cold corpse back to report.

At this meeting, Zhang Xianzhong was leading the army out of the camp and lined up, and in the earth-shattering rumbling war drums, Li Dingguo led his headquarters to launch the first wave of attacks on the county.

The first round of attack was naturally cannon fodder, and Li Dingguo personally led the battle queue in front of the battle, and whoever dared to be a deserter would be killed.

Li Dingguo's military ability in the Zhangjia army is not bad, so he will stand out among the many big leaders, leading an army alone, and they are also cannon fodder, but the cannon fodder under his command is much stronger than yesterday's large group of cannon fodder, they braved the rain of arrows and bullets to charge, rushed to the city and then braved the smashing of stones and rolling wood, put the long ladder on the city wall, and climbed up bravely, until the arrow or bullet fell, and the people behind continued to climb upward.

Boom –

A smoky thunderbolt was thrown down from the top of the city, blowing up six or seven militiamen who were pushing siege vehicles to hit the city gate, this group of people fell, and another group of people rushed forward and continued to operate the siege vehicle to hit the city gate, and their bravery in front and behind them caused a certain pressure on the soldiers and civilians defending the city.

The soldiers and civilians defending the city resisted stubbornly, for the sake of their families, they had no way to retreat, but to defend the city to the death, fight to the end, until the battle died, the small county town of Shanyin became a meat grinder, crazy devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides.

Cannon fodder is cannon fodder after all, and the momentum of the frenzied attack was hindered by the stubborn resistance of the defending soldiers and civilians, and the heavy casualties also demoralized them, and they finally retreated.

Li Dingguo stood in front of the formation with a big executioner in his hand, he was quite satisfied with this round of attack, he did not order to cut down the cannon fodder who retreated, and comforted them with a few words of comfort, so that they could rest after the formation, he did not give the soldiers and civilians defending the city a chance to breathe, and then sent the second batch of cannon fodder to attack the city.

In the earth-shattering roar, the soldiers on both sides were fighting bloodily, Li Liancheng came back to command at the head of the city, where he was tight, he was now not only the military commander of the county, but also the soul of all the soldiers and civilians in Shanyin County, which section of the city he appeared in, the morale of the soldiers and civilians guarding there was greatly boosted, and they fought bravely to kill the enemy and repel the enemy's crazy attacks again and again.

When the fourth wave of cannon fodder retreated, Li Dingguo was about to send the fifth wave of cannon fodder, Zhang Xianzhong was impatient to wait, and sent his own soldiers to urge him to take the county seat quickly, he couldn't wait, and time didn't wait for anyone.

Li Dingguo had no choice but to order the fifth wave of cannon fodder to go out, and the elite of the headquarters followed behind, he originally wanted to let the cannon fodder launch a final round of attacks, consuming the ammunition, physical strength and morale of the Ming army, but his father-in-law was too anxious, and he had no choice.

The fifth wave of cannon fodder is recuperated and energetic, and there is an elite superintendent behind it, so it is difficult to be lazy and slippery, so you can only charge hard, and the soldiers who are constantly being shot and fall down on the way to the charge, the scene is too chaotic, and it is not found that the basic ones who have fallen down are small bosses.

Several snipers hid behind the wall battlements, turned to aim at the targets above the small boss and put cold guns, shot a lot of big and small leaders, some of the brave battles, the leaders who took the lead in the charge were killed seven or eight, for Zhang Jiajun, the death of these leaders and leaders was a great loss, but Zhang Xianzhong and others did not notice the abnormal situation, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, the officers take the lead in the charge, the probability of death is very high, Zhang Xianzhong and others just feel that they are unlucky, The second is that the battle loss rate of the officers is a little higher, and of course, the tenacity of the Ming army is beyond their imagination.

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth and swore that as long as he broke through the county seat of Shanyin, he would definitely slaughter the city for ten days, in order to vent his anger and war damage in the past few days, and avenge the many brothers who died in battle.

After Li Dingguo invested in the elite of the headquarters, the soldiers and civilians defending the city suddenly felt that the pressure increased greatly, these elite combat power crushed those cannon fodder, the personal force value is high, the combat is tenacious, and they know how to cooperate with each other, after killing the city head, they will not retreat, and the comrades who cover the city climb up, and the city head position has been lost several times, if it is not for Li Liancheng personally leading the team to counterattack, recapture the lost city head position, and then desperately throw down the thunder, there is really a danger of falling.

Although the soldiers and civilians of Shanyin County insisted on fighting to the death at the head of the city, they also paid a heavy price for casualties, of course, the Zhang Jiajun as the attacking side suffered greater casualties, but Zhang Xianzhong had a large number of cannon fodder to squander, and the soldiers and civilians defending the city died one less than one.

Li Dingguo stood in front of the battle to supervise the battle, and after he entered the elite battle of his headquarters, the effect was obviously much better, and there were three hundred of the most elite troops behind him, these people were his personal guards, and they would attack at the most critical time and crush the Ming army's will to resist in one fell swoop.

Li Dingguo led the elite of the headquarters to attack the west gate, Ai Nengqi also led the elite of the headquarters to attack the south gate, the two battalions in the southeast were attacked last night, and suffered heavy losses.

The competition between Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo is just one of them, he knows in his heart that he can't take down Shanyin County, and when the four Ming troops are copied, the big guys will be finished, and he is so desperate to attack the city at any cost, which can be regarded as both public and private.

The soldiers and civilians who held the south gate suffered heavy casualties under the crazy attack of the elite of Ainengqi's department, and the position at the head of the city was lost several times, but once, Ainengqi put 200 personal soldiers into the attack as the last killer weapon, and killed the head of the city with only one charge, at this critical moment, there were violent explosions and dense gunfire from the rear camp of Ainengqi.
