Now, after breaking through the battle formations set up by Tan Zhong, the old fox, Dong Jia is only the last layer left from Tan Zhong's handsome banner - the elite of the 10,000-strong Lu Long Army.

The Changying Army's partial application of gunpowder made grenades, which should not exist, play a huge role on the battlefield, but it was unrealistic to directly kill 100,000 people with this thing.

What's more, Tan Zhong is not a fool, on the contrary, he is an old fox who is extremely cunning.

He didn't know what a grenade was, but they could see how effective it was.

From the intuitive effect, the more powerful the soldiers gather, the greater the actual killing power!

From the watchtower where Guo Rong was standing, it could be seen that before Dong Jia rushed to the front of the formation, more than 10,000 Lu Longjun foot soldiers, who were the reserve team and the supervising team, had already taken the initiative to change the formation.

First of all, the originally dense anti-cavalry battle formation on the front was opened, and the distance between each foot soldier was more than three feet, and the proportion of shields was increased on the front.

Although the ability to defend against cavalry onslaught is reduced, this distance spacing does minimize the killing effect of grenades, even in later generations, shelter and dispersion are the best means of reducing grenade damage.

At the same time, to make up for the reduction of the cavalry's defense from the loose battle formation, the thickness of the more than 10,000 foot soldiers was increased while the frontal width was basically unchanged, so as to increase the depth of the defensive line to cope with the impact of the cavalry.

Although it is certainly not as effective as the heavy infantry formation, but after comprehensive consideration, this is already the optimal solution in a short period of time, and Rao is Guo Rong can't think of a more effective countermeasure.

What's even more terrifying is that Tan Zhong has completed the targeted tactical concept, deployment and adjustment in such a short period of time, Tan Zhong's knowledge, adaptability, command ability, and the elite degree of Lu Longjun's most elite infantry can be seen.

"This old fox is really NB!"

After sighing softly, a happy smile appeared on Guo Rong's face.

In terms of dealing with the dual threat of cavalry and grenades, Tan Zhong and his most elite foot soldiers have reached the limit, but this does not mean that this is invulnerable!

A loose formation with sufficient thickness and depth did protect against cavalry and reduce the lethality of grenades, but it was extremely difficult to maintain such a formation.

Especially in the loose formation, the hard resistance to the cavalry charge requires a very high psychological quality of the soldiers, and the slightest carelessness may trigger a chain reaction, resulting in a loose and direct large-scale rout.

I have brought several surprises and accidents to Tan Zhong before, I don't know if Tan Zhong has ever thought about whether he still has hole cards when he made the final decision now, if there are hole cards......

However, thinking of this, Guo Rong himself smiled, there is indeed a strategy in strategy, but in the specific battlefield, it is more about soldiers to block, water to cover, and see moves.

Now, the battle has come to this point, and now the front-line soldiers are almost in the brains of dogs, where is there still the possibility of looking ahead and looking ahead, if Tan Zhong does not change the formation, the follow-up reinforcements will not say a word of grenades, Tan Zhong will directly hate the northwest!

In other words, now it's a matter of who can grit their teeth and survive to the end!

If Dong Jia's cavalry can once again break through the encirclement, there is a high probability that Lu Long's army will suffer a large-scale rout, on the contrary, when Lu Long's army has taken a breath, the elite of Changying's army will be annihilated.

Once that time comes, Guo Rong will not hesitate to let the sappers dig the embankment on the south side of Baigou and pour the turbulent river into the battlefield.

Of course, that was the last of the end, and it was far from that step now, and Guo Rong believed that he would not go that far.

Looking down at the edge of the camp, the eight-ox crossbow and catapult were almost in place.

Next to the eight-ox crossbow and the catapult, the sergeants of the equipment battalion were adjusting their positions, each holding torches, and the excited gunpowder masters were gearing up.

Beside them, the logistics battalion was constantly transporting various types of crossbow arrows to this side

Versions of stone shells, various versions of bombs, and incendiary bombs.

After making sure that what he was waiting for was in place, Guo Rong set his eyes on the battlefield again, and threw himself at the handsome flag raised high in front of the gate of Lu Long's military camp.

The heavy infantry opened the way, the heavy cavalry attacked violently, the grenadiers suddenly used cold arrows, and their previous plan was implemented very satisfactorily, and now it is time to open a hole in Tan Zhong's ass with a cannon, let him open his eyes, and understand what justice is, what truth is, and what is the Tang Dynasty's martial arts and virtues!

"Inform the equipment battalion, shoot freely, be fast, be fierce, don't save ammunition for Lao Tzu, crossbow arrows, stone bullets, and gunpowder can be used as much as you want, you can fight as fast as you can, and it's best to run out of stock!"

As Guo Rong's order was issued, he hurried from the center of the camp to the periphery, and the firing positions that had just been set up, more than 100 eight-bull crossbows and more than 30 catapults that had not yet had time to calibrate immediately began to shoot.

The big and terrifying crossbow bolts of the Eight Bull Crossbows, after the catapult was upgraded for the third time, flew towards the dense Hebei rebels in the center of the battlefield.

In the center of the battlefield, with the fermentation of time, after discovering that the Changying army was mainly advancing along the central axis, rather than large-scale cover-up, because of the surprise attack and the explosion of grenades, the Wei Bo army, the Cheng German army, and the Lu Long army were slowly recovering in a state of confusion and confusion.

However, at this critical moment, crossbow arrows with the thickness of the bowl mouth and stone bullets the size of skulls suddenly fell from the sky, and one after another Hebei rebels were pierced by the crossbow arrows of the Eight Niu Crossbows, and their heads were broken and bleeding by the stone bullets falling from the sky, and their stumps flew and their brains splashed.

Without any preparation at all, the sudden long-range attack smashed the Hebei rebels, who had not yet been completely shrouded in fear, anxiety, doubt, and many other emotions, dizzy and starry.

In fact, the number and density of this first wave of long-range attacks were not too large, and the reason was very simple, these eight-bull crossbows and catapults that were temporarily pushed up were originally intended by Guo Rong to be used in field battles.

Therefore, except for a small number of eight-bull crossbows and catapults that were themselves placed on the defensive line, most of the remaining equipment did not plan their positions in advance.

Therefore, they have neither a calibrated Zhuyuan, nor an approximate hit range, to be precise, facing the battlefield outside, it is directly a smear.

Although Guo Rong's orders let them decide for themselves, they can not aim, no targets, no directions, but they must not let their crossbows, stone bullets, and bombs fall on their own heads.

These things in your own house are peerless murder weapons, and it's not fun to fall on them!

Therefore, the first wave of shooting is actually the approximate position of the equipment soldiers to correct themselves, after all, with the position of the approximate landing point, they can shoot at will.

With the end of the first wave of test firing, with the assistance of the surrounding logistics troops and auxiliary troops, all the crossbow groups and artillery crews coincidentally chose the type of ammunition for the eight-ox crossbow and catapult.

One by one, one by one, the bombs filled, tied, or filled with frosted black powder were quickly loaded into place, and the sounds of orders around them came and went.

"Put!"

"Put!"

"Put!"

With one command after another, the eight-bull crossbows strapped to explosives, and the incendiary bombs filled with black powder flew into the sky.

Although the number and density of the first wave of long-range attacks were not too large, the sudden and tragic situation was directly presented in the eyes of all the rebels, and everyone was filled with fear.

During the brief interval between the first and second waves of long-range attacks, many of the rebels raised their heads and looked ahead in fear.

However, it's okay not to look at it, after raising their heads, they saw one after another big fireballs flying in their direction, and they were already frightened and uneasy, and they were directly frightened.

Due to the relatively short range of the catapults, their victims were mainly Wei Bo and Cheng Dejun.

As time progressed, the incendiary bombs thrown by the catapult either exploded in the air or turned into astonishing fireballs after hitting the ground.

Then the big fireball exploded either in the air or on the ground, blowing up Wei Bo and Cheng De's soldiers and howling wolves, and burning crying fathers and mothers.

The crossbow arrows of the Eight Ox Crossbow can skewer people into sugar gourds, the stone bullets larger than the human head can directly cut off the limbs of the head and the latter, the impact of the explosion can make people directly shatter and fly, and the incendiary bombs mixed with frosting can make people directly turn into burning people.

To be honest, the first few ways to die are okay, although they look very infiltrating, but they are happy, as soon as they open their eyes and close their eyes, they will be a good man again twenty years later.

However, Burning Man is different!

Looking at the ignition of the incendiary bomb, the flame could not be extinguished, and could not break free, but could only be gradually swallowed by the flames in the frenzied struggle, hoarse howl, and finally burned to charcoal, the rabbit died and the fox felt a sense of sadness, every rebel who saw the fire man struggling in front of him felt fear and desolation that could not be concealed.

What's even more terrifying is that in the process of dying and throeping, the lit fire man will also try to call for help from everyone who can see or feel, and as a result, the flame will be transmitted to more people......

If the incendiary bombs fired by the catapult were exclusive to Wei Bo and Cheng De's army, then the eight-bull crossbow with a longer range became an artifact tailored for Lu Longjun's foot soldiers.

On the way from Wendeng to Caozhou, the technical experts and gunpowder engineers of the equipment battalion improved the crossbow arrows used by the Ba Niu crossbow, so that the crossbow arrows used by the Ba Niu crossbow also had an upgraded version, and the name was changed to rocket.

When Wei Bo and Cheng De's army was bombed and couldn't take care of themselves, the improved rocket equipped with black powder flew directly over the heads of Wei Bo and Cheng Dejun, and finally in Lu Long's army, which was already dizzy by grenades two miles away.

Although the incendiary grenades fired by the catapult were more powerful, the number of eight-ox crossbows that could not carry them was larger, and the speed of firing was faster.

As a result, these elites of the Lu Long Army, who had not yet come out of the shadow of the grenade, were blown up like Wei Bo and Cheng Dejun, who were blown up in front of them to cry wolves and cry for their fathers and mothers, and were blown up into dogs and burned into suckling pigs, enjoying everything that the people of the island country once enjoyed.

If after the surprise attack, Wei Bo, Chengde, Lu Long and other Hebei rebels were able to maintain relative stability after the orders reserved by Tan Zhong and the butcher's knives of the supervising team, then when the long-range attacks of the Eight Bull Crossbows and Catapults attacked, everything became a flower in the well.

When stone bullets, crossbow bolts, bombs, and incendiary bombs fell from the sky and fell to the ground, the efforts of Wei Bo, Lu Long, and the officers in the Chengde army who tried to organize a counterattack were completely defeated, and the rebels from Hebei had in fact completely collapsed.

The ensuing consequence was that these scattered soldiers and horses began to flee in all directions like a tidal wave.

If luck is enough, the rebels themselves are located on the east and west flanks naturally have the opportunity to flee to the no-man's land on the east and west sides, and the remaining unlucky ones in the middle are obviously only left in the rear.

The problem is that in the rear of their battle formation, it was according to Tan Zhong's order that they temporarily changed their formation and put out a loose formation of 10,000 Lu Long Army foot soldiers.

Just as Guo Rong heard many veterans and veterans say, there are few new things on the battlefield, and playing with all the bells and whistles unrealistically is equivalent to looking for death.

And today's unique battle really proves this.

At the place of the war, Tan Zhong's thinking was very clear, taking advantage of Guo Rong's need to take into account the weakness of the people being coerced, and gave Guo Rong a trilemma.

In terms of preparation and arrangement of the battle, Tan Zhong took advantage of the absolute superiority of his own troops, arranged layer by layer, advanced step by step, and completed the crushing little by little, so that Guo Rong and Changyingjun were directly suffocated in the camp.

If Guo Rong dares to send troops to attack, then he will use the chaotic people to break up the battle formation of the Changying army and make a big move.

Although it is shameful in terms of behavior, this is the battlefield, and the battlefield is a place where it doesn't matter, so Tan Zhong's plan is a very obvious plan, and its layout and strategy also belong to the way of a dignified battle formation.

Guo Rong's thinking is the opposite.

Under Tan Zhong's trilemma, he used the elite, organization, discipline, and obedience of his own family to break the cauldron and achieve a reverse assault, trying to capture the thief and capture the king in the case of a desperate battle.

And this point, the purpose is also extremely clear, so the same dilemma also appeared on Tan Zhong's body, before the Changying army attacked, Tan Zhong and his handsome banner could move at will without any problems.

But after the Changying Army began to attack in desperolus, Tan Zhong had already lost the qualification to move, and even Tan Zhong could walk by himself, but his handsome banner could not go!

In this regard, the two sides can be described as chess opponents, will meet good talents, no matter what they are, and the two coaches, the old and the young, have praised their opponents more than once in the course of the battle.

And at the end of the battle, in the face of Tan Zhong's last adjustment, Guo Rong adopted almost the same tactics as Tan Zhong, that is, to drive away the rout and attack Tan Zhong's last line of defense after adjustment.

Strictly speaking, from beginning to end, Tan Zhong did not make any major mistakes, but he ran into Guo Rong.

There is indeed very little new on the battlefield, but, unfortunately, just like the child who shouted that the wolf came, the wolf really came, and Tan Zhong encountered incendiary bombs and grenades that should not have appeared at this time.

The swarming chaotic army broke Tan Zhong's last line of defense in an instant.

And Dong Jia, the first fierce general of the cavalry of the Changying Army, who was born in the Dong clan in the middle of the river and led the heavy cavalry of the Changying Army to go deep alone, saw the opportunity and immediately summoned the support of the grenadiers who were used by the archers behind him.

Regarding Dong Jia's request, Xiao Junpeng, the firearms battalion general who accompanied the cavalry on the expedition, did not refuse.

With Xiao Junpeng's order, various types of grenades flew forward like raindrops.

Emptied in front of him while asleep, Dong Jia raised his horse lance, pointed forward, and chanted again.

"Attack! The Silky Army!"
