The two short-barreled heavy guns behind the ruins of the city wall have fired three waves in a row, from long-range solid bullets to medium-range chain bullets to close-range shotguns. In order to suppress the enemy's dense charge, the barrel of the cannon is steaming, and a piece of skin can be scalded by touching it, and the barrel of the cannon is even more useless if it is not cooled down well.

As a result of the battle, the artillery company relied on these two guns to repel two frontal attacks by the officers and soldiers. The Zhejiang soldiers who came up for the second time were even more severely damaged, and the dense rain of bullets directly crushed the Zhejiang soldiers' will to fight. Nearly 20% of his elite casualties were lost, and morale was extremely low. For the current era of 'soldiers for generals', Zhou Beiyu has suffered a big loss.

The officers and troops attacked head-on twice, although the total casualties were less than 500. This seems to have only a few hairs wounded for an army with a total strength of tens of thousands. But for the feudal army, those who can take the lead are the main forces. Compared with the 'revolutionary army', which is like an assembly line, the number of the main force of the Ming army is extremely limited, and this kind of loss is much more tragic than the death of a group of miscellaneous soldiers.

As a general who commands the army, Liu Wei knows that there are heavy casualties on the front line, but he must grit his teeth and hold on. Since the two heavy cannons in the gap in the anti-thief city wall are too sharp, then bypassing these two heavy cannons is. He quickly mobilized his troops to attack from other directions, and even rewarded the warriors with the battle to kill the enemy.

But Zhou Qingfeng didn't give him a chance, and before the Ming troops could make adjustments, several white smoke suddenly flew out of the positions in the city. Liu Wei was shocked when he saw it from a distance, because the white smoke was obviously something fired at him by the thief. Although he didn't know much about ballistics, just looking at the trajectory of the skyrocketing sky, he could estimate that the shot could be extremely far.

The Ming troops on the battlefield were not blind, and they all saw these white smoke tracks. Tens of thousands of men gathered in front of the main attack, all of whom raised their heads and moved their heads along the trajectory. I saw these white smoke swooping down across a long distance, and the target was the center of the large array where Liu Wei was - the tall lookout car was too conspicuous in the telescope.

Seeing the white smoke trail coming towards him, Liu Wei secretly screamed badly. He hurriedly linked the soldiers around him to form a military formation, and a layer of blue light appeared out of thin air, just colliding with the six rockets that fell.

Due to the extremely high blinding rate of the fuse under violent impact, there is also a simple impact fuze triggered by inertia in the rocket produced in the later production. This fuse still cannot withstand the sharp acceleration of artillery fire, but it is very suitable for the relatively gentle firing method of rockets. When the rocket fell, the huge inertia allowed it to detonate the five-kilogram charge on the rocket.

The rocket fell, and the explosion broke out immediately, and Liu Wei, who was under the military formation, really tasted the power of the 'revolutionary army'. In the industrialized nitraterate, nitrifying bacteria are constantly turning all kinds of humus into potassium nitrate, ensuring that Zhou Qingfeng's troops can create powerful explosions at every turn.

In the past, the ninth-level spells that were regarded as supreme masters could only be used can be seen at any time in the ranks of the 'Revolutionary Army'. This huge change is completely a generation difference, and Liu Wei seems to be besieged by six top masters at the same time at the moment. His eyes were quickly bloodshot, and the family members around him let out screams. The more than 100 people in the military formation all felt their knees weaken and were under great pressure.

Zhou Qingfeng could use a large number of low-level officers in his team who had mastered the way of the military formation to unite to build a thousand-person array. Liu Wei did not have so many high-quality officers under him, and he relied on his own strength to set up a military formation for defense, and as a result, this military formation became an extremely conspicuous target. This is an excellent target for rockets that can't hit at long distances.

The rocket platoon in the city is equipped with six slides, and there is no such thing as firing and heating up, and there is no trouble with the recovery of the back seat. Immediately after one rocket is fired, the soldier places the next rocket on the slide and continues to ignite.

Black Powder can be a very good propellant when formulated with improvements. After ignition, orange flames erupt from the tail of the rocket, propelling the rocket into the sky along the slide. The gas produced by the combustion of the propellant is deflected by the tail, causing the rocket spin to be ballistically stabilized.

After flying hundreds of meters, the rocket turned around and dived, and Liu Wei on the ground looked up and watched black dots fall from the sky. As the commander, he can't mess around on the battlefield, but after six rockets, six more will come, and six more after six. The trail of white smoke in the sky continued one after another, and at the same time, several waves of rockets flew in the sky, constantly coming in volleys.

Who can stand such a blow?

The second wave of six-shot rockets fell and exploded, and Liu Ling's army was screaming again. He tried to link more of his own soldiers to join the army to improve his defense. But as soon as the army was outnumbered, the soldiers who had endured the explosion continued to transmit a lot of pain and panic to his brain. Liu Wei was so old that his brain suddenly couldn't bear it. When the third wave of rockets continued to bombard, he was bleeding from his mouth, nose and eyes.

"These thieves are really vicious, they have this method but they don't use it sooner, they have to wait until my army gathers and the morale is low. This forbearance is really sinister. Liu Wei looked at the endless rockets behind him, and knew that he would definitely not be able to bear it. He immediately jumped off the more than 10-meter-high lookout car and shouted to his own soldiers, "Withdraw, retreat." ”

The general, who commanded tens of thousands of people, retreated on horseback, and there was no time to inform the other generals on the battlefield. The other Ming troops who participated in the battle immediately decided that this was an escape from the battle - the main generals all fled, and the generals below, guerrillas or something, didn't they panic immediately? Everyone had no choice but to flee together.

Liu Wei escaped from the range of the rocket, and the rocket platoon in the city immediately adjusted the slide and fired at the Ming army in other directions. Liu Wei couldn't bear the rocket, and the other Ming troops were even more bombed, and the battalion fled in an instant.

Under this fire attack, the Ming army's will to fight quickly collapsed. The officers and soldiers of the feudal army were all trying to eat for a living, and it was impossible for them to endure casualties and continue to fight.

The enemy's offensive collapsed, and Zhou Qingfeng, who was watching the battle at the head of the wall, turned around and whispered to the staff officers beside him: "Let the cavalry and infantry attack on all fronts, capture more prisoners, and kill fewer people." After all, they are all Chinese, and everyone is just their own master. We don't have a blood feud with those Ming troops, so there's no need to kill them all. ”

The staff officer nodded and gave the order, and the cavalry in the city had been waiting impatiently. They borrowed the passage of the artillery company and erected planks through the trenches outside the city, and hundreds of cavalry rushed out, surging with sabers alof. As their shiny cuirasses glistened in the sunlight, the Ming troops outside the city fled like dominoes, howling one by one.

"Kneel down to avoid death!" Han Shi, the commander of the cavalry battalion, rode his thick-skinned demon pig and rushed to the front, holding a saber and shouting wildly. The cavalry behind him also accelerated their impact with momentum, shouting in unison. The so-called aggression is like fire, and the cavalry on the battlefield is like a raging flame, and there is no match for it everywhere it passes.

The defeat was like a mountain, and it was out of control. Most of the Ming army were foot soldiers, and the four-legged cavalry, who could escape, knelt down and surrendered. Even if a small number of Ming generals fled on horseback with their families, they would immediately become the target of pursuit by the Guards cavalry - at this time, whoever disobeyed would have to die.

Zhou Qingfeng stood on a high place, and saw that his guards cavalry were invincible everywhere they went, and there were countless descendants. The few recalcitrant ones were killed instantly. The rise of Han Shichai actually targeted Liu Ling, who was the first to escape. This veteran was accompanied by thousands of family members to escort the retreat, and he ran extremely fast.

Han Shi was also bold, and at first glance, he knew that the one who escaped with so many family members must be the general of the Ming army. He didn't care whether he could fight or not, and with a wave of his saber, he shouted: "Today, our guards will be more famous if they break more with less." The world is so big that no one dares to despise it anymore. Brothers, follow me to kill and capture the old man alive and sacrifice it to the marshal, which is also the icing on the cake. ”

The Guards cavalry had a very high spirit, and there was no enemy after they came out of battle. The enemy in front looks like there are many people, but he is the general of the defeated army, who will be afraid of him? Han Shi shouted, riding his demon pig and rushing to the front, and hundreds of cavalry followed closely, like wolves and tigers.

The high-spirited cavalry quickly linked to each other to form a military formation, and the horses and whips together rushed forward. As their blood boiled with excitement stimulated by the victory, their courage burst to the point of fearlessness. The urging of the military formation made them fly as if they were flying on land, and the speed was extremely fast.

Looking at the defeated army of Liu Wei in front, they suffered setbacks one after another in a good situation, and their morale was extremely low due to rocket explosion. The generals used spells to protect themselves, and the soldiers of the family even used all the accelerated talismans, but the more than 1,000 horses gathered together just couldn't escape, and the chasing guards cavalry was getting closer and closer.

As Han Shi's troops rushed forward, the defeated and fleeing family members continued to disperse in horror, breaking away from Liu Wei's brigade to avoid pursuit. After running for two or three miles, the people around Liu Wei kept decreasing like peeling an onion. More than a thousand people quickly became hundreds, and hundreds became dozens.

Liu Wei saw that there were fewer and fewer subordinates around him, and the chasing soldiers were getting closer and closer, he sighed and simply turned his horse's head and shouted: "That's it, that's it, Liu has been in the army for decades, and today he is defeated and has no shame to face the saint." Sons, follow me to the last rush to kill, it should be regarded as repaying the emperor's kindness. ”

With such a big defeat and such a nest, Liu Ling is already in tears and has the heart to seek death. As soon as he saw that he couldn't escape, he simply took the last dozen remaining horsemen to counterattack in turn.

It's just that Liu Wei and others are too low, and they have no speed when they run, just like a mantis arm as a car. Han Shi on the opposite side was obviously far inferior to Liu Wei, but the moment the two sides collided, he was stunned to rely on the strength of the military formation to knock this veteran out of the saddle and fall heavily to the ground.

Han Shi was originally a cavalry general of the Ming army in Liaodong, how could he not know the prestige of Liu Ling and Liu Dadao? Seeing that this veteran general fell to the ground and vomited blood, he stepped forward and shouted: "Old General Liu, this defeat has been decided, has it been lowered?" My family commander said, you and I have no grievances, but each is its own master, why bother to divide life and death?

Now our 'revolutionary army' is in full swing, and entering Gyeonggi is like a spring trip in the suburbs. The strength of the Guards will surely be in the sea. If you can't beat it, don't sacrifice it in vain. Han also brazenly begged to join Dashuai's command last year, and he was also reused. Old general, you are not evil, and the marshal will not embarrass you. ”

In the impact just now, more than a dozen people died in the generals around Liu Ling, and the rest of the people and horses surrounded Liu Ling with no fighting spirit. Han Shi's side didn't make much of a move at all, he just wanted to surrender the other party. Although Liu Wei is old, he has a very high prestige in the Ming army, and he is brave and good at fighting, but he is not good at making friends. He is no better than Juniper's stunned man who can only punch and rush, and he still has some strategies on the battlefield.

Hearing that Han Shi actually wanted to surrender himself, Liu Wei laughed wildly. His broadsword was gone, so he drew his sword and was about to kill himself. The generals around him hurriedly stopped him and tried hard to persuade him. Liu Wei seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and cried loudly: "Liu has been deeply favored by the emperor for decades, and he can't be lowered, and he can't be lowered." ”

Liu Wei no longer resisted, and the generals around him were very discerning. One of them stepped forward and whispered, "If the old general is demoted, his family is afraid that he will not be protected." ”

Han Shi laughed and said: "This matter is easy to do, just say that the old general died in battle." Family members or something, just send someone to pick it up secretly. The defeat of the old general, this is the sunset, and anyone has to weigh what my marshal said. ”

Liu Wei, who was crying, was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to think. The generals around him persuaded him again, obviously everyone didn't want to die.
