Zuo Guang's first division was really elite, and the cavalry led by Zuo Xiang soon encountered the broken infantry army of the thirteenth division of Long!

As with Cao Wen's edict before, Long Thirteen arranged the battlefield in advance, blocking one of the most open places, and leaving the narrow post road to Zuo Guangxian.

In front of the cavalry on the left side was also a low wall, but this time behind the low wall was not a waiting pikemen, but firecrackers and artillerymen!

Twenty firecrackers lined up behind the 30-meter-long low wall, interspersed with five tiger squat cannons, and the tiger squat cannon was embedded in the low wall.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Jiu was naturally not stupid enough to use cavalry to attack the low wall, and after Zuo Guang learned about it first, he let his fire gun soldiers go to attack with one hundred people.

He held his shield and held a single sword in front of fifty firecrackers who were usually outstanding in swordsmanship, and he took cover behind with fifty firecrackers holding firearms, and slowly approached the low wall.

At the same time, he sent a small force to prepare to touch the vicinity of Niu Chenghu from the side of the mountain, and when he saw that there was an enemy blocking the way, he immediately realized that Niu Chenghu's department should still be there.

"Boom ......"

Five tiger squat cannons shot a large three-pound lead bullet together!

The five tiger squat cannons almost completely covered the entire road surface, and when these five buckshot shots, they immediately knocked down the musketeers who were approaching with their shields to the ground!

Some lead bullets even pierced shields with iron bars, and then killed the musketeers hiding behind them on the spot.

Some of the lead bullets shattered the shields, and then the sawdust caused a large number of casualties to the firecrackers behind them, and the worst person was covered with sawdust splashing into his face, and his eyes were immediately blinded, and he immediately lay on the ground crying and struggling.

"Bang ......"

Rows after rows of small strong campfirers began to shoot, and because of the low wall, these firecrackers were completely able to carry out the three-stage attack that Dragon Thirteen had practiced for a long time with the most stable mentality!

When the first round of three-stage strikes passed, the five Tiger Squat Guns were also loaded, and this time, all of them were loaded with scattered bullets.

In such a place, one Tiger squat cannon is enough to cover the entire road surface.

"Boom ......"

In Zuo Guangxian's troops, although they were only firecrackers, there was still no shortage of brave men, and after three rounds of firecrackers, there were still some officers and soldiers who continued to rush up with shields and swords.

But with a low roar, everything fell silent.

In the middle of the night, Zuo Guang first asked his hundred family members to dismount, and rushed up with a big shield, holding a big knife, an iron whip and other heavy weapons!

At this time, the remaining four tiger squatting cannons were still loaded with scattered shells, but the Xiaoqiang battalion didn't seem to have any intention of changing the shells, and sat back and watched these people slowly approach!

It didn't take long for these men to come close to the low wall!

They still hold big shields!

"Boom ......"

All four tiger squat cannons have roared!

The kinetic energy of a pack of 100 shots is naturally not as strong as a three-pound solid lead bullet, but it is still not something that can be resisted by manpower, and in an instant, all the big shields in front of them fell backwards violently!

"Hoo ......"

At this moment, a large black thing flashed and sparked and was thrown out!

When these things were thrown out, the soldiers of the small strong battalion behind the low wall hurriedly squatted down.

"Boom ......"

Another big explosion!

Before the smoke cleared, the firecrackers behind the low wall continued to place the firecrackers on the low wall and performed a new round of three-stage strikes.

By the time a three-stage hit was complete, the Tiger Squat Cannon was reloaded again.

......

In the bombardment and shooting just now, Zuo Guangxian's firecrackers and family members lost at least dozens of people!

In the middle of the team, sitting on a large piece of dirt, after listening to Zuo Jiu's report with a gloomy face, Zuo Guang didn't say a word.

In fact, his heart had already been stirred.

"I can't imagine it, I can't imagine that the thieves actually use firearms, and they use them in a decent way! No wonder they have defeated several official armies one after another, and they used to think that it was caused by the officials and soldiers themselves underestimating the enemy and stupidity, but now it seems that this Dragon Thirteen really has two hits! ”

Eventually, he broke free from his lamentation, but what was in front of him was: "How do you break this low wall?" ”

He knew that his family was very powerful, they were all good at galloping on horseback, riding and shooting, and they could dismount and fight on foot.

But since he came out, he can't just forget it.

"Now it depends on whether Niu Chenghu is still there, if it is still there, the two will impact again, if it still doesn't work, then withdraw to Huozhou, as for Niu Chenghu, you can only resign yourself to fate"

After a while, the family member who contacted Niu Chenghu came back.

"General, General Niu is still there"

"Oh?" , Zuo Guangxian's eyes were full of hope.

He knew the combat power of Niu Chenghu's father and son, if it wasn't for this unfavorable terrain, but in the wilderness, his father and son were also brave and good at fighting.

"Most of its cavalry has been annihilated, but most of the infantry army is still there, and they are still fighting the thief army"

Zuo Guangxian was in high spirits when he heard this, and immediately said to the man: "You go back and tell Lao Niu, just say that in half an hour, we will work together and attack the thief army with all our might, if it is still possible, we will meet soon, if it is not possible, it is the destiny of heaven, and we will be loyal to the country."

Soon, an hour passed.

This time, Zuo Guang first asked his family to tie the three big shields together, slowly approached them with their shoulders, and told them: "Keep approaching the low wall and then put the big shield down, and then lean against the low wall to form a gentle slope, and then a small shield in one hand and a big knife in the other hand rush up from the gentle slope to fight the enemy."

"The first person to break through the low wall will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to the third level!"

"The top ten people who rush into the low wall will be rewarded with three hundred taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to one level!"

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and soon another team of family members will come over with big shields!

This time, Zuo Guangxian did not hide his secrets, and he sent all the fifty people in his family team who were the most strong, the most skilled, and the bravest.

One foot distance!

"Boom ......"

Although the Tiger Squat Cannon is only a short and concise cannon, its disemboweled cannonball is still not something that the big shield tied together on three sides can resist, although this time it did not penetrate or shatter the three big shields, but it still pushed the people behind it down!

Then a large piece of earth-shattering thunder flew over!

Almost at the same time, the third round of the three-stage attack of the sixty-shot fire gun began!

Even in this situation, there were still scattered family members rushing in front of the low wall, but they were faced with impenetrable spears!

But this is also what Zuo Guangxian wants to see - as long as someone sticks to the low wall, it can create an opportunity for the follow-up men and horses to rush up and fight the enemy!

"Boom ......"

The tiger squat cannon embedded in the low wall roared again, this time all of them were scattered bullets, not only knocking down the family members who had already pounced on the low wall on the spot, but also knocking down all the family members who followed up!

"Bang ......"

The fourth round of three dan strikes has also begun!

"Boom ......"

Along with the three-stage strike, there is also a sky-shattering thunder that flies out from time to time!

About half an hour passed, and the fighting came to an abrupt end again.

When Zuo Jiu returned to Zuo Guangxian's side to report again, he didn't need Zuo Jiu to speak, Zuo Guangxian knew that the situation was not good, and at this time, the green tendons on the back of his left hand were rising, and he was still trembling faintly.

"Father, my family has lost more than a hundred ......"

I don't know how long it took, Zuo Guang stood up first.

"Well, maybe it's the will of God, we didn't bring grain and grass, we can't delay here for too long, it's not that I don't care, but the thieves are too powerful, old cow ......, you can do it yourself"

"Removal ......"

He issued an order to withdraw to Huozhou.

At this time, two hours had passed since he had thrown himself into the battle with the Xiaoqiang battalion.

The mood was completely different from when he came, and Zuo Guangxian's mood was terrible when he went back......

But that's not the worst, they didn't have long to come out when a soldier ran in front of them out of breath.

"General......

Zuo Guangxian's expression was dazed, and he secretly wondered: "Could it be that the thieves attacked Huozhou .....?"

But the man said, "General, ...... There's another low wall in front of you! ”

Zuo Guangxian suddenly spun around, screamed and then suddenly collapsed to the ground.

......

Before Zuo Guangxian left Huozhou City, he also sent an envoy to Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda in Pingyang Fucheng, and in addition to asking for help, he naturally explained that he was ready to take over the town of Po Ximu to guard the county seat of Fenxi.

In his mind, if Zhang Zongheng could send some troops to support Huozhou, it would naturally be good, if not, it would be harmless.

It may be that Long Thirteen's series of actions in Fenzhou, Jiexiu County, and Fenxi County affected Zhang Zongheng, and he did send reinforcements this time.

Huozhou, in the evening, the mountain breeze is blowing.

Near the south gate of the state city, Zhou Yuji looked at the "identity document of Wu Guojun, the commander of the cavalry under the command of General Yan'an, and the customs defense battalion, as well as the tokens and order flags personally issued by Zhang Zongheng and Li Bei", and did not make a sound for a long time.

After about a moment, a scholar in his forties came running from the city, who was holding a large pile of letters.

It turned out that Zhou Yuji, in order to prevent accidents, brought Zuo Guangxian's staff over and asked him to distinguish the authenticity of these documents, seals, tokens, and order flags, especially the documents signed by Zhang Zongheng himself, which needed to be checked one by one.

After a while, the man said: "General, these are all true, especially the handwriting of this handsome, which is not the same as the official documents between Pingyang Mansion and Huozhou."

"Really?"

"It's true"

Zhou Yuji nodded, hurriedly came to the wall, and shouted below: "Brother Wu, there are many offenses, the current situation is serious, and I have to do it below."

The general under the city replied: "It's okay! ”

Zhou Yuji nodded, "According to the text, this Wu Guojun has been doing things with Li Bei, the general of Yan'an, and he is from Yulin like Li Bei, and I have seen many people from Yulin near Beijing, and their accents are quite different from those in northern Shaanxi, but they have an obvious Shanxi bias flavor."

"This person is exactly like this, it seems that I am still too careful"

Hurriedly ordered, "Open the city gate and invite General Wu to enter the city!" ”
