At this time, Shu Han did not have the 40,000 army around him, think about it, how could the 40,000 army come so fast, even if it was lightly armed, if you want to rush here from Asakusa City, it will take at least ten hours or more, and even if you come, it is infantry, ten hours of wild running, and when you arrive here, you basically have no ability to fight, so Shu Han did not stay in place directly after controlling the city, but ordered the merchants of Black Iron City in the market to organize immediately and give them guns, Let them temporarily control the city, and at the same time he began to rush to the front line with all the cavalry, although the army in his hands is not much, but for the battle situation, Shu Han has his own judgment.

At the same time, Shu Han also ordered more than a hundred people of Black Iron City who volunteered to follow the army to disassemble the cannons in the market and take them away directly, at this time, behind Shu Han, there were a total of twenty cannons, which were rapidly approaching, pulled by horses, at this time Shu Han raised the sharp knife in his hand, only to hear a roar in his ears, and immediately a row of bursting bullets directly cracked in the enemy's position.

Compared with solid lead bullets or steel bullets, the penetration of this kind of bomb is not high, but in terms of killing range, it is enough to be proud of the group, these shells have been prepared by Shu Han before, the army is not allowed in the bazaar, but arms can be bought and sold, after announcing the war with the Holy Alliance, Shu Han secretly sent someone to put some of the arms and materials in the bazaar, but when he did this, he hoped that the people of the Black Iron City could control the scene in the bazaar, so he prepared, After all, the armies of both sides were not there at that time, so naturally they could only rely on the people in the bazaar to prepare themselves, so Shu Han prepared a lot of artillery and ammunition in it, but he didn't expect that it was not used in the bazaar, but it was used on the Holy Alliance army at this moment.

But the artillery originally prepared by Shu Han was actually not so much, after all, the population of the entire bazaar was only one or two thousand people, mainly merchants, in this case, the area of the warehouse was also limited, and it was impossible to put these bronze cannons, the reason why there were so many of them was entirely because the Holy Alliance and the Black Iron City were almost the same idea, when Shu Han controlled the entire bazaar, he immediately learned from the mouths of the Holy Alliance that they were also secretly hiding arms, and after finding it, The artillery and guns inside were naturally taken by Shu Han as his own.

Therefore, don't look at the fact that there are only more than 300 cavalry around Shu Han at this time, but each of them has an average of more than a dozen guns that have been loaded with bullets, and there are also two artillery pieces with ammunition, at this time, the roar is almost never broken, and only the entire enemy camp is blown up to a full house, and at this time the cavalry of Shu Han and others has also approached, with the movement speed of the war horse, it is very difficult for the opponent's gunners to hit them, after all, when Shu Han is running, it is a completely scattered formation, Each cavalry is separated by a long distance, and the difficulty of the opponent trying to hit his own side is very high, after all, the accuracy of the musket in this world is very, very low.

And it is precisely because of this that the enemy's spearmen can only be helpless in the face of a scattered Shuhan army, while the troops of Shu Han and others can rely on multiple guns in their hands to shoot intensively in one person's way, so they are not afraid that the scattered formation will not be broken by the enemy, and adopt the strategy of archery cavalry, and after all the musket bullets in their hands are exhausted, they will start to run back, not giving the enemy a chance to pursue at all, and at this time the enemy has no large-scale cavalry, The rest are only the first ones who disembarked from the boat, but there are only more than 400 people, and the rest are already in the sea, people may still be alive, but the war horses cannot survive.

And most of these cavalry are by the river, if they want to charge in front of Shu Han and the others, they must break through the obstacles of their own army, and it is impossible to speed up to catch up with Shu Han's troops, but Shu Han's side can easily deal with it, a team of more than three hundred people, fourteen guns per person, is more than four thousand bullets to shoot at the enemy's dense formation, which is enough to make a huge gap in the offensive phalanx of the Holy Alliance, and the generals of the Asakusa City defense line immediately fill it, The originally gentle defense line suddenly appeared a dimple at this moment, and at this time, the troops of Asakusa Castle continued to expand this concave, and the generals of the Holy Alliance immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, if this breakthrough was completely opened, then the entire Holy Alliance army would also be torn in half, and one of them would be attacked from both sides, and then their end would come.

Therefore, the generals could only give up the pursuit of Shu Han's cavalry, cheer up, and organize a large number of Skywalkers to enter this battle to fight, which can be regarded as stabilizing the situation, but the morale has suffered a great blow because of this, and the scene of victory in sight has been stirred up by Shu Han at this moment, and the war has become a protracted battle of endurance, which is obviously torment for the soldiers of the Holy Alliance.

And Shu Han's situation at the moment is not good, he can clearly feel that his soldiers are about to reach the limit, if they persist any longer, maybe the army will collapse directly in the next second, but at this time, Shu Han does not dare to give the order to retreat, because if the retreat is announced at this moment, although these people can live, with the energy of the Holy Alliance now, I am afraid it will be difficult to carry out a long-distance pursuit, but losing the defense line on the south bank of the Yangtze River will directly threaten the mainland of Black Iron City, this responsibility, he does not dare to bear it at all.

This is the first battle after he became an archon, if this battle is defeated, then those Skywalkers, soldiers, and other people who are not convinced of themselves will jump out at this time and completely bury Shu Han in the garbage heap of history, which Shu Han can never allow, at this moment the most rational and for the sake of the soldiers, he should announce the withdrawal of troops, after all, there is no south bank of the Yangtze River as a defense point, at least there is a defense line of Asakusa City.

The defense facilities there are more perfect, and the defense area is relatively small, and the security will be greatly enhanced, but at this moment, he also has his own selfishness in his heart, so he decided to gamble with the lives of the soldiers of the Black Iron City, betting that they can hold on to this battle and maintain the safety of the Yangtze River defense line.

For this reason, Shu Han himself was also open-minded, and after retreating the cavalry to a short distance, he immediately ordered the soldiers to reload, and then prepared to launch a second wave of charge, although he could not let these soldiers return to their homeland, but in the same way, he also blocked his own life in this war.

At this time, the enemy's cavalry finally broke free from the heavy clamp of their own troops, and appeared on the left side of the military formation, Shu Han looked at them, and the tension in his heart was about to come out, he had commanded many wars, but he really launched a direct charge on the front line, this was the first time, but there was no way, he knew that if he didn't charge at this moment, these knights around him would also lose the courage to charge.

"Forward, forward, forward!" Shu Han shouted loudly, as if a loud voice could expel fear, and the cavalry behind him also rushed forward, Shu Han's speed was not fast, they quickly surpassed Shu Han, after all, as the boss, if Shu Han died, this battle would definitely be lost, and most of these people were Shu Han's personal guards, and they were loyal to Shu Han.

At this time, another Shu Han's personal guard force was ambushing on the side, this army recruited from the tribesmen around Joaquin City, Shu Han did not let them attack immediately, this is already the only living force in Shu Han's hands now, if they rush out at this time, it will not be able to change the situation of the battle, they must charge again at the most critical moment.

For this reason, Shu Han even did not hesitate to block his own life, as soon as the cavalry on both sides encountered, several people fell off their horses, in front of these fast-moving targets, the shooting effect of firearms is often not large, because everyone's speed is too fast, only have time to fire a few shots, the two sides are in formal contact, the number of cavalry on both sides is about the same, and the Holy Alliance has to have so many dozens of horses, but the cavalry on this side of the Holy Alliance are a little embarrassed at this time because they were burned by a fire before, and the weapons and equipment carried are not complete, In addition, the troops were broken up before, and the formation of the troops was not complete at this time, so when facing Shu Han's troops, there would be many problems in the cooperation between them.

And Shu Han's side does not have any problems, with Shu Han as the center, the command of the troops is very smooth, plus Shu Han's troops have a longer charge time, so after the two sides encountered, Shu Han's side has a lot of advantages, and when Shu Han and the enemy cavalry attacked, the armies of the two sides were also fighting each other, although both sides were already tired, but this battle was about the life and death of both sides, how dare you lose this battle.

However, up to this battle, Black Iron City already has a huge advantage, that is, the Holy Alliance has no extra ships at the moment, although the Holy Alliance has been prepared before, but there are only more than three hundred ships, and the others are warships, and most of the sizes of these ships are ferries, that is, the size of fishing boats, and transporting more than a dozen people is the limit, as for those oversized ships, there are only a dozen, mainly responsible for transporting cannons and cavalry.

And with these small boats, it is naturally impossible to transport all the 80,000 troops to the front, it must be transported back and forth, which is also the normal state of war, originally these ships went back and forth two or three times, and it was more than enough to transport this number of troops, but at this time, two consecutive fires completely burned the ships of the Holy Alliance, especially those big ships were also burned, and there was a problem with the transportation immediately, which made the reserve forces of the Holy Alliance seriously insufficient, and it was difficult to launch a charge with more people against Black Iron City at this time, At the same time, the mentality of the Holy Alliance soldiers has also been greatly hit, which is good news for Black Iron City.

But the situation between the two sides is still not optimistic, especially for the side of Black Iron City, the war to this extent, the soldiers' energy and physical strength have reached the limit, and the casualty rate is soaring rapidly, at this time, Lin Bida knows that it should be time to make a decision, but at this time Shu Han is still fighting with the enemy's cavalry, and he does not dare to give the order to retreat directly, obviously, Shu Han does not want to retreat, Lin Bida can understand this, as the first battle of the consul, if he loses, then for Shu Han, It will be a huge blow to prestige, and if you want to lead the soldiers to fight in the future, you will inevitably encounter criticism.

But understanding is understanding, the current situation has obviously reached an emergency juncture, the spirit of the soldiers Lin Bida sees in his eyes, if he does not withdraw at this time, there will be no chance to retreat at that time, Black Iron City is not like the Holy Alliance, if you lose so many troops, you can still survive, the army of Black Iron City is only seventy or eighty thousand, and some of them have to guard against bandits, savages and Guangyuan Kingdom from all over the country, and the troops who can really participate in the war are only less than 60,000, and now these more than 30,000 troops are all killed here, then Black Iron City can announce its surrender.

Therefore, Lin Bida knew that he couldn't wait at this time, so he simply gave the order directly and retreated, and the surrounding generals couldn't help but show a trace of relief in their eyes, they were all people who had been in battle for a long time, and naturally knew that it would be very unfavorable for Black Iron City to fight again, but they were not commanders after all, and as vassals of the Liu family before, they had no right to speak in Black Iron City today, so they never dared to say it.

At this time, the leaders of the Skywalker family were obviously not satisfied with Lin Pida's decision, and they who didn't know anything about military affairs wanted to continue to fight at this time, but Lin Bida already knew that if he continued to do so at this time, he would undoubtedly be looking for death, so regardless of the opposition of others, he said directly: "You must retreat, everything will be said when you arrive at the bazaar, and the guards will assemble, rescue Shu Han, let's go immediately, Zhang Ruoming, you are in charge of the retreat of the army, there must be no mistake." ”

Under Lin Pida's order, no matter how unwilling the Skywalkers were, but at this time, Lin Bida was the on-site commander appointed by Shu Han after all, and his order, everyone should obey it, even if they were unwilling, they had to do so, and their long military career made them understand that on the battlefield, only one voice could be allowed, otherwise it would fall apart and be in front of them.

With Zhang Ruoming's command, Black Iron City began to leave the battlefield in an orderly manner, for the retreat, if you make a mistake, it will not be a retreat but a collapse, obviously Zhang Ruoming is very smart, let the last reserve team on top, temporarily block the enemy's edge, and then the front-line troops began to evacuate gradually and orderly, the Holy Alliance also noticed this, they have little strength to chase at this time, they can only consolidate their positions, so as to gradually take over the positions of Black Iron City in the hands of Lin Pida.

And Lin Bida led everyone towards Shu Han, at this time the cavalry on both sides suffered heavy casualties among each other, Shu Han's original team of more than 300 people, at this time there were only more than 100 people left, and there were less than 100 people left on the opposite side, Shu Han's arms had two huge knife marks, obviously slipped when fighting bayonets.
