It was noon, but the sky was overcast and the air was dreary.

During the confrontation between the armies, the atmosphere was solemn. The solemnity even made the surroundings seem a little silent, except for the footsteps of the soldiers, the shouts of the officers, the muffled neighing of the horses, and the movement of ordnance.

On the high platform built by the Chinese army, Zhang Hao watched the situation of Zhu Jun's army, only from the strict formation of Zhu Jun's army, it was really hard to believe that this army had just been established not long ago, and most of the soldiers were just strong people. Maybe this is the ability of a famous general.

The drums of war rumbled and the trumpets sounded. Zhu Jun's former army pressed over, and all kinds of shouts for cheering up and dispelling fear immediately rose.

Under the staff of several military strategists and veterans, Zhang Hao naturally responded, the front army separated, and a large number of ballistas stepped forward.

The Great Cadres don't just have firearms. All kinds of ordnance Zhang Hao directly advanced to the peak of cold weapons, under the crossbow and trebuchet and other ordnance, Zhu Jun's former army was a little confused, but he still charged towards this side.

The three thousand heavy cavalry in the Shence army began to charge towards Zhu Jun's army from the flank, and the heavy cavalry may inevitably be eliminated, but at this moment, the power can still be expected.

The battle broke out completely, the soldiers on both sides were entangled, the sound of fighting shook the sky, and the smell of blood filled the surroundings.

Zhu Jun and the others were really shocked by the quality of the soldiers and the sophistication of the armor of the Great Cadre Army, and although they knew from the ordnance in Shouchun City and the rumors that they had heard about the military system and training time of the Great Cadre Army that the quality of the other party's soldiers would be very good, it was still shocking to be strong to this extent.

The armies of the two sides were entangled, even though they had a great numerical advantage, but Zhu Jun found that his army did not have the slightest advantage, but was forced to retreat step by step.

At this time, there was a commotion, Zhu Jun frowned and looked, but saw a stout figure like a bear being supported by several guards and walked over. It was Dong Zhuo, who was ambitious and ready to take advantage of the situation, but was sent by He Jin, who suddenly became wise and martial, to fight the thunder here.

The change in the trajectory of history made Dong Zhuo, who was supposed to set foot on a new level at this time, continue his campaign for half his life. For the benefit of the big man, he lost the family money he had accumulated with great difficulty. It is conceivable how sad and helpless Dong Zhuo has been during this period of time.

Although Zhu Jun is very unaccustomed to some of Dong Zhuo's actions and his ambitions, he still has great trust in Dong Zhuo's ability. happened to have an opportunity this time, for Dong Zhuo and the border army under his command, Zhu Jun naturally used it to death, which is also a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Seeing that this brave and fierce veteran Wu Dong Zhuo was being helped over with blood all over at this time, Zhu Jun hurriedly went over to check the situation.

"He's numb, how is this possible. How could these southerners be more skilled in riding than our border troops, and even capable of riding and shooting. How is it possible to ensure the accuracy of the bow and arrow in this weather! Also fuck everyone has a hand crossbow. Damn, Li Dao, you haven't had enough to eat? Pull it out in one go. ”

Dong Zhuo scolded and shouted, on his bloodstained face, the copper bell seemed to be so frightened that he couldn't hide it.

As a veteran of the border army, Dong Zhuo has spent almost all his life in war, but he has never been in contact with an army like the Great Cadre Army.

Although Shouchun experienced the tenacity of the Qianjun army when he attacked the city before, because of the small scale of the battle and the fact that the army under his command did not participate much at that time, after all, the cavalry was too bad to use to siege the city. Waste, so I don't have much experience. Now he can truly understand the horror and strength of the cadre army.

Everyone is well-trained and well-armoured, and they are outstandingly cooperative, and they are not afraid of death, this combination of these kinds is an enemy that makes generals like Dong Zhuo a little desperate. In comparison, whether it is the Yellow Turban Army, the Liangzhou rebels, or even enemies like Zhuqiang, they all look so cute.

What made him even more incomprehensible was how the opponent's cavalry could be so powerful, knowing that these border soldiers who had been on horseback all the year round seemed to be inferior to each other in horse shooting and fighting.

Dong Zhuo's doubts were naturally because of the existence of stirrups and horseshoes and other things. These cavalry artifacts had not yet appeared at this time in history. Now that Zhang Hao has a certain foundation, he naturally will not continue to hide these cavalry artifacts.

Li Dao pulled out the crossbow arrow from Dong Zhuo's leg, and the healer quickly helped to bandage it.

"Zhong Ying, can you still fight? The tenacity and strength of these cadres were somewhat unexpected, but our superiority was still there, and I was prepared to withdraw to the main camp to make the most of our numerical superiority. I need you to help me hold off their cavalry. Zhu Jun asked with a cold expression,

Dong Zhuo grinned and stood up, "My lord, I will do my best." However, you have to plan ahead, I'm not sure how long I can hold out, those damn ......" said Dong Zhuo's face couldn't help twitching, he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so he could only stride out.

Leaving the big tent, Dong Zhuo looked at the few cronies and generals around him, and said in a low voice,

"Give me some cleverness, don't die here without dying on the frontier. I don't think it's good this time, so we have to be careful, just in case. ”

Li Dao and the others all nodded, even if Dong Zhuo didn't say it, these people also knew it in their hearts. It's all veteran oil.

"Tama's, this time this is a miserable pit by He Jin. Inexplicably, he was transferred to the south to fight with these southern barbarians, and I don't know how much money will be left after this time. ”

Dong Zhuo shook his horsewhip, looked at the gloomy sky, looked at the noisy battlefield, and didn't mention the bitterness in his heart. He has always regarded his soldiers as his foundation, and he knows very well that if he does not have his soldiers, he can only be manipulated by others. But what can happen now?

Li Dao and the others glanced at each other, and their expressions were very gloomy. As cronies, they naturally know some of their father-in-law's thoughts. But there is no way, the strength was not enough before, can you disobey He Jin's order? In that case, it would be a rebellion.

It can only be said that none of those big officials can be trusted, and what they said when they promised before was wild, and as a result, they couldn't use you, and they had to squeeze your surplus value.

"Let's go, Zhu Gongwei is still staring at us. One of his pro-armies is always on the lookout for us. It's not the time yet, so I can only hold on. ”

Dong Zhuo sighed, listening to the sound of fighting in the distance, he really didn't want to participate in the war. But Zhu Jun has always been on guard against him, and he can't help but fight.

"Try to save the troops, and you all keep my eyes open, pay attention to the war horses and weapons of the Southern Barbarians, they can't be so skilled in riding, there is a problem with this. It would have helped us a lot if we could find it. ”

Dong Zhuo finally admonished, don't talk nonsense, after all, most of the troops under his command are still fighting, and he is not at ease here.

Zhu Jun's face was cold and hard, and he notified the herald to give the order. At the same time, observing the sky, he knew that although the recent rainy and humid environment seemed to be unfavorable to the firearms of the cadres, it had not reached the point where they could not be used at all. So he always paid attention to that.

Reserves were transferred, some soldiers were abandoned, and Zhu Jun gradually withdrew to the camp with the army.

After chasing for a while, leaving behind a large number of corpses, the cadres also slowly retreated for some distance under the orders of the Chinese army.

"Go ahead and surprise them." Zhang Hao came to the ordnance camp at this time, and took out a large amount of gunpowder from the storage space directly in the prepared camp tent, which had been prepared for a long time, and there was no need to worry about the tide in the storage space, which was a surprise that Zhang Hao prepared for Zhu Jun.

Thinking about it, because of the recent weather, Zhu Jun has not personally experienced the power of firearms, so let him see it this time.

Speaking of which, the use of bows and arrows is also a problem when it rains, but it is the same for both sides. But firearms, a unique weapon, can only be eaten by Zhang Hao himself.

The officers and men of the artillery battalion were all happy, quickly distributing ammunition, and preparing to give the enemy a good look.

Just as they were surprised by their own people and the horror of the enemy, the roar of artillery began to sound.

Looking at the panicked appearance of many large armies in the enemy camp, as well as the fortifications that were quickly destroyed under the attack of flowering bombs and howitzers, and the torn enemy, Zhang Hao's eyes were always calm, and his pupils reflected the large camp burning under the fire oil bombs.

The army began to assault again, and this time the first army allocated some earthen grenades, which directly blasted open the camp wall and broke into the enemy camp.
