"General, the Xia army is stationed at the second crossing of the Rin River, twenty-five miles away from here."

The scout returned, and the lords of Rin Prefecture and Han Prefecture glanced at each other and sneered.

"Order, open the floodgates and release the water, today I want to follow Ye Xuanfeng's example when he flooded the 80,000 soldiers of Western Chu!" Lord Rin laughed.

The general of Hanzhou said with a smile: "That Fang Jue is really a child, I am waiting to withdraw from Hanzhou, he really thinks that I am cowardly, and I came all the way so smoothly that I lost my vigilance, and I can't even see the river valley!" ”

"Haha, God really helps me, let the water flood him at this moment, even if he has scouts to find out, he won't have time to transport the grain and grass."

"When his army is tired, our army will join forces to fight and win a great victory!"

"Then give the order, the whole army will march in the direction of Erdaokou, and the cavalry will go up first to collect the heads, don't let them complete the deployment of crossing the river too quickly."

"Rush!"

"Woohoo......"

Nearly 10,000 war horses galloped, and the snow on the snow was trampled compactly, and the army was obviously a lot shorter after that.

The main generals of the Hanzhou garrison and the Linzhou garrison rushed to the front with their respective cavalry.

For them, this is also a great credit, as long as the enemy wins, no matter who wins in Luoyang or the imperial court, they have the merit of protecting the country.

"Kill Xia Jun, grab firearms!"

On the war horse, the Beiliang sergeant shouted loudly, and his voice was terrifying.

More than 20 miles, for the light cavalry is only a moment, in less than half an hour, the army has arrived outside the second pass.

"Look, general, the river has risen, and the Xia army must have suffered heavy losses."

"Listen to the voice over there, haha, Xia Jun is wailing and scolding, our army will be able to defeat the enemy with one blow!"

"Hmph, what kind of genius in the world, I can't see it, beheaded him today!" Lord Rin sneered.

"No, capture him alive, Luo Shuai said that he wanted to live, but he really can't kill him again." The Hanzhou chief said.

The lord of Rin Prefecture nodded, lifted his beard and said: "Sons and daughters, rush to capture Fang Jue alive, and pay homage to the marquis!" Reward 10,000 households! ”

"Kill!"

The cavalry galloped, and soon saw that the tents of the Xia army in front were haphazardly placed on the bank of the river, and only a few hundred people were crying on the bank.

"That's all there is left?" Seeing this scene, the two Beiliang lords were surprised.

"Then Fang Jue don't drown, he's worth a lot!"

"Wait a minute!" The Lord of Hanzhou looked along the front and suddenly ordered to stop.

The Rin Prefecture Department did not listen to his orders, and the Rin Prefecture Lord General then also saw the front clearly, and ordered: "Stop!" ”

As soon as the words fell, in the snowy field reflecting the moonlight, one after another firelight lit up, rose into the air and then flew into the Beiliang cavalry and exploded.

"Boom!"

Ceramic shards flew wildly, blood flashed one after another, the war horse fell, and the sergeant was injured.

"What is this?"

The defenders of Shuangzhou did not survive, and the perception of firearms and the commanders of the two states was just the musket told by Luo Yang.

Even for muskets, they know very little, and with arrogance and conceit in their hearts, they naturally don't believe that there is such a divine soldier that is ahead of the times.

"What demon spell?"

"It's not a demon spell, it's a catapult, I saw it!!" Although it was nighttime, there was moonlight, and some of it could be seen in the snow.

If it was dark, the cavalry of the two battalions would not dare to rush indiscriminately.

However, by the time they could see ahead, they had already entered the attack range of the Xia army.

"What kind of catapult, it can actually be exploded, this is a thunderbolt, right?"

"Don't disturb the morale of the army!" Some generals drank loudly.

"It's not good, they are not flooded, the formation is neat!" The Northern Liang soldier with good eyesight shouted.

The continuous ceramic fire and thunder were blasted by catapults from catapults, and seeing that the casualties gradually increased, the Beiliang sergeant also panicked a little.

"Don't be afraid, rush over, they are leaning on the river bank, the cavalry has no distance to gather momentum, we have the advantage!" The Hanzhou lord immediately made a judgment and ordered the cavalry to charge into battle.

The chief general of Rinzhou also agreed: "Spread out a little, rush me, as long as the troops are short-handed, the Xia people are not our opponents!" ”

The excellent physical advantage brought the Beiliang soldiers Kong Wu's powerful physique, which was stronger than the Great Xia soldiers.

It's a gift.

In the past, Beiliang always fought more with less, and the confidence in Xia people was deeply imprinted in the hearts of every Beiliang people.

"Kill!"

"Rush, ......"

In the midst of the rebellion in the north.

Fang Jue stood on a temporary high platform in the Chinese army and said, "Order, three hundred steps to start a salvo." ”

"Five hundred steps!"

"Four hundred and fifty steps!"

"Four Hundred Steps......

The Chinese army, at this time the firearms battalion has been prepared, and the hands of the sergeants holding the muskets can't help but tremble with excitement.

They know that it is their task today to officially announce to the world that the age of powerful firearms has arrived.

"It's too domineering, and you won't be able to come back today!" Wei Feng stared ahead, the order flag in his hand was dyed with fluorescence, and it could also be seen by the soldiers of the entire firearms battalion in the moonlight.

"Three hundred and fifty steps!"

Wei Feng waved the flag: "First echelon, prepare for a salvo!" ”

The musket has a range of 400 paces, which is more than the bow and arrow, but it is better to be more accurate, and it is best to have a musket within 320 paces at the moment.

Moreover, Fang Jue ordered to shoot again at close range, because he was afraid that the other party would run too fast, so that he would not hurt many people.

"Three hundred steps!" The veteran who was visually measuring the distance in front shouted.

Wei Feng waved the command flag: "First echelon salvo!" ”

The soldiers of the firearms battalion stood with their guns in order, already aimed, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The first echelon that has completed the shooting crouches, takes out the ammunition, picks up the pass bar and fills it in.

"Second echelon, salvo!"

In this way, after all echelons have completed a round, a new round of salvos can be replaced.

The enemy will be confronted with a constant stream of missiles, and there will be no chance to rush at all.

And that's exactly what happened.

"Puff puff—"

As the firearms battalion opened fire, the Beiliang cavalry, who rushed to the front, was already penetrated by lead bullets before they could figure out the situation.

Whether the war horse was hit, or the sergeant on horseback was shot, all of them fell and lost their combat strength, and were trampled into pulp by the follow-up war horses.

At this moment, on the east side of the North River Bank, the entire battalion of the Yulin Army had already been transferred over, lurking here to cut off the retreat of the enemy's forward soldiers and horses.

"General, the guns went off over there!" Cheng Jie whispered.

Lin Bei sneered: "Get on the horse!" ”

Cheng Jie: "Are we going to support the general?" ”

"Who told you that we were going to help?" Lin Bei smiled and pointed to the north, "Go and intercept their Chinese army!" ”

The Northern Liang people liked to use cavalry as the vanguard, harassing or harvesting, while most of the foot soldiers would gallop in the rear.

The speed of the foot soldiers and the cavalry is naturally incomparable.

"What if they only came with cavalry?" Cheng Jie said.

"Cut off their back road, there are also the cavalry of the Lizhou battalion and the Liangzhou battalion, we don't need to take care of it, just block the Beiliangzhong army in the rear."

"I see."

"Kill!" Lin Bei gave an order, jumped on horseback, and took the lead in rushing to the north.

At the same time, Fan Ji under Sun Yi and Wei Ran's lieutenant general slowly wandered down from the upper reaches of the north bank with 3,000 cavalry.

"Are we going to join the fray so soon?" The deputy general of the Liangzhou battalion said.

Fan Ji shook his head: "No, the firearms battalion has not been approached, wait a minute, now that we are rushing out of the Beiliang Army to escape, we can't finish the battle!" ”

"Then wait a little longer......"

……

On the north bank, the Beiliang army suffered more and more damage, but the cavalry in front could not exceed 200 steps.

"Liangzhou Battalion!" Fang Jue was on the high platform, and when he saw the Beiliang cavalry approaching, he gave an order.

The bows and arrows of the Liangzhou battalion were all fired.

Then there was the Lizhou battalion.

Within a moment, it formed a more intensive blow to the Beiliang cavalry.

In just a few dozen breaths, the Beiliang cavalry fell at least a thousand people, and they had already suffered so many injuries before they made contact, which made it difficult for the lords of the two states to accept.

"What's going on, why can't the front one break through?" Lord Rin asked.

"When someone breaks through, they place their baggage carts at will, and the horses can't gallop when they are approaching, otherwise they will fall off their horses."

"Are they going to defend?"

The Hanzhou commander immediately decided: "Underestimate the firearm, withdraw!" ”

The strange fire and thunder, and the fact that you can only see the tongue of fire, your own cavalry keeps falling off their horses, such a scene is really terrifying.

However, with so many men and horses lost, the cavalry could not break through 200 paces, and if the stalemate continued, more people would die, and it would not necessarily be able to achieve anything.

And the corpses of the dead and wounded and the corpses of the war horses will block the follow-up cavalry, so that the cavalry cannot run up when it comes close.

They knew that the Xia army had an advantage in numbers, and if they delayed any longer, they would be counterattacked, so the two main generals immediately ordered to turn back.

"Withdraw!"

"Woo woo......" In the Beiliang army, someone blew the horn.

Then Fang Jue saw that the cavalry reined in their horses, and they had already panicked, and they couldn't wait to turn back when they got the military order.

"Catapult!" Fang Jue shouted.

"Want to go?" Zheng Jun, who was in control of the catapult, smiled madly, "Give me death here!" ”
