Boom Boom Boom –

The ground is shaking.

Gao Fan clutched his left shoulder, which had been hit by the arrow, gasping for breath, and beside him, several soldiers looked nervous to protect him, trying to pull him behind.

But Gao Fan stubbornly pushed away the soldiers who wanted to pull him away, and he pointed to the enemy soldiers who were shooting his subordinates with a swarm of swarms in front of him, and shouted in a hissed voice:

"Keep attacking, attacking!"

Not long before, the Chu army pursued the defeated Qin army, intending to extend the victory and repel it in one fell swoop, but the Qin army's reserve troops were soon reinforced, and they concentrated several swarms of bees, and the soldiers knelt on one knee, aimed their mouths at the pursuing Chu army, and lit the fuse.

As the fuse burned to the end, dozens of rockets flew from the bee mouth screaming towards the Chu army column, and the Chu soldiers fell one after another under the blow of the swarm, some of them were not shot to the vital point, but his injuries were aggravated by the explosion of small gunpowder tied to the arrows.

Not only Gao Fan's battalion, but also the other Chu military camps that attacked together were also hit by the Qin army's dense firepower - in addition to a swarm of bees, the Qin army also attacked the enemy with long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows.

Gao Fan's luck was not bad, he was not shot by a gunpowder arrow, but was shot in the shoulder by a stray arrow, and narrowly escaped.

But when he saw that his men were constantly falling in the rain of arrows from the enemy, his eyes were torn apart, and his heart was filled with hatred, and he regained his formation with the robes of the other battalions, and continued to advance against the casualties, intending to advance to within thirty paces and then launch a thunderous volley at the enemy.

At the same time, the cavalry of the Qin army also poured out, and Sun Kewang knew that the Chu army was fully equipped with firearms and weak in close combat, and if it could rush into the enemy formation with cavalry, the Chu army would definitely be defeated in close combat.

Therefore, he directly sent out all the thousands of cavalry in the general, and the momentum of the thousands of cavalry running at the same time made the earth tremble.

Almost at the same time as the Qin cavalry was dispatched, Su Dingyuan discovered their movements, and Zhu Yangshi, the staff officer of the military department beside him, also pointed in the direction of the cavalry and shouted: "Governor, the Qin cavalry has been dispatched!" ”

"Governor Xian, please transfer the Xiao cavalry battalion to meet the Qin cavalry, if the Qin cavalry is allowed to storm the line, our army will suffer heavy losses!" Li Kaiguo suggested.

Su Dingyuan nodded, and the herald ordered: "Order the Xiao cavalry battalion to meet the enemy cavalry on the left flank, and concentrate 12-pounder artillery to bombard the cavalry on the right flank." ”

The herald clenched his fists and was about to ride his horse away, when Su Dingyuan stopped him again and said, "Order the artillery to move the position forward and redeploy it on higher ground." ”

"Yes." The herald slapped his horse and passed on Su Dingyuan's order.

Subsequently, with the exception of the 12-pounder infantry guns, which concentrated their fire on the running enemy cavalry on the right flank, the rest of the artillery hastily pulled the artillery back onto the wagon and drove it to the front of the battlefield.

The cavalry battalion also began to assemble, and the Du Si Ze horse, which was automatically assigned by the system, stood in front of everyone, drew his saber, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the time has come for us to make meritorious contributions, target the left flank, and defeat the cavalry of the Qin army!" ”

"Drive-"

As the words fell, Du Si took the lead in clapping his horse and rushed to the left flank, and the cavalry behind him also shouted fiercely, driving the war horses to follow.

At this time, the left and right flank infantry were also hurriedly forming formation, and in front of them, the soldiers of the unarmored punishment battalion decisively retreated to the rear, leaving the shooting vision to the soldiers behind them, their task was to protect the left and right flanks, but it was not the task to block the enemy cavalry.

Su Dingyuan also knew that it was a fool's dream for these light infantry with no armor and only spears and swords to resist the cavalry charge, and it was better to remove them and leave the firing position to the infantry than to let them die in vain and disturb the morale of the army after being dispersed and defeated. No \./Wrong \./More\./New '.w'.a'.p'.'.'.c'.o'.m

At the same time, the 12-pounder infantry guns that received the order began to exert force, and in a deafening sound of cannonballs, one after another shells roared into the running cavalry and exploded.

The cavalry of the Qin army would not be stupidly bombed, they immediately switched formations and dispersed, even if a shell fell into the crowd from time to time, at most it would only kill and injure a few people around.

Soon, the cavalry rushed to the flank of the Chu army, and the riders drove the war horses, raising the speed of the war horses to the highest in their hands. (More exciting on the next page!) )

Raising his rifle and saber high, he shouted and entered the charging stance.

Just as they rushed into the range of the flintlock rifles, the infantry that formed the anti-cavalry hollow phalanx opened fire one after another, and several knights who ran at the front were shot and fell off their horses, they screamed and fell to the ground and rolled down a few times, and before they could get up, they were knocked over and trampled by the war horses that followed behind, and trampled to death.

In order to strengthen the power of the charge, the cavalry of the Qin army had already slowly gathered together when they were put into the state of charge, running at high speed in a dense formation, and they were naturally taken care of by the Chu artillery again.

This time, the Chu army replaced it with a primitive solid bullet, which smashed into the crowd head-on with a screaming sound like a grim smile, and immediately smashed the oncoming cavalry into pieces, and the cannonball was castrated, and it finally rolled to the ground after killing many cavalrymen one after another.

The corpses of the dead cavalry lay across the ground, and also became an obstacle for the cavalry behind them to run, and some of the cavalry did not react to the corpses in front of them, and still rushed forward, and the hooves of the war horses were immediately tripped by the corpses, and even the men and horses fell heavily on the ground by inertia.

Under the combined attack of the Chu army's artillery and rifles, the cavalry on the right flank of the Qin army suffered many casualties, but they still relied on their firm will to close the distance between them and the infantry phalanx.

Immediately, the fiercest charge came.

The cavalry of the Qin army shouted, holding their sabers high and rushing towards the Chu army formation, but they looked at the three layers of shining bayonets in the Chu army formation, and even the men and horses began to be afraid.

Several brave officers stepped forward, raising their sabers and helmets high, and tried to urge the soldiers to attack, but to no avail, the cavalry did not dare to rush into the crowd, and approached the terrible bayonets, killing themselves.

Taking advantage of this effort, the soldiers took the opportunity to shoot and shoot many Qin cavalry, coupled with the continuous bombardment of the rear artillery, the Qin cavalry could only retreat in a hurry.

On the other side, the cavalry of the Qin army on the left flank was also afraid of the bayonets of the phalanx and did not dare to step forward, and the cavalry battalion arrived in time, and they shouted and pounced on these hesitant brigades.

Before the charge, the dragoons in the cavalry camp opened fire on their horses, shooting a group of enemies, and then raised their sabers with the cavalry of the brigade and smashed into the Qin cavalry from the side, and the cavalry on both sides immediately began hand-to-hand combat.

And not far away, the infantry of the Chu army was also firing at them, and the casualties of the Qin cavalry were rapidly increasing, they screamed, the morale of the army was shaken, and they desperately wanted to withdraw from the battlefield.

But where would the cavalry battalion let them get their wish, the cavalry kept chasing until they completely defeated these cavalry who had no intention of fighting.

At the same time, the artillery that was ordered by Su Dingyuan to deploy forward was finally in place, and they set up their cannons on the higher ground and fired flowering shells at the Qin infantry who were exchanging fire with the line infantry in the distance.

The 12-pounder infantry howitzers were even directly replaced with shrapnels, and suddenly, the Qin army's position was overturned on their backs, and the corpses were all over the field, and the Chu army's artillery killed and wounded a large number of enemy foot soldiers, which dealt a heavy blow to their morale and made them begin to retreat slowly.

Sun Kewang could not stand the enemy's artillery bombarding his infantry so unscrupulously, so he immediately mobilized almost all the artillery and launched an artillery bombardment on the Chu artillery position.

The first round of Qin artillery fire destroyed several Chu artillery, but the latter reacted quickly and also fired back at the Qin artillery, and a fierce artillery battle broke out between the artillery of both sides.

On the other side, the Qin cavalry that had withdrawn from the right flank spontaneously decided to destroy the Chu artillery position after a short repair, and they regrouped and slaughtered the artillery position that was in a fierce artillery battle. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m

Their movements were quickly discovered by the Chu army, and the gunners of the howitzers hurriedly turned their muzzles, replaced them with shrapnel shells, and opened fire on the enemy troops who were killing them, and at the same time, the infantry on the right flank line also arrived in time to reinforce them.

Before the line infantry formed a formation and opened fire, four grenade shotguns killed and injured dozens of Qin cavalry, and actually directly blasted the cavalry formation out of a no-man's land.

Such heavy casualties made the Qin cavalry waver again, and the line infantry finally adjusted their formation and launched intensive fire on their flanks, and the Qin cavalry was immediately killed and wounded, and the corpses and people who were tossing and turning on the ground blocked the way for those survivors to escape.

After a volley, the line infantry raised their bayonets and shouted at the Qin cavalry who were struggling in place, and the survivors of the Qin army had already been artillery. (More exciting on the next page!) )

The intensive fire of the soldiers and infantry completely frightened the fear.

Some of them tried to rush through the artillery positions to escape, some fled in other directions, and most of them struggled desperately there, slashing with sabers in all directions in the face of the surrounding Chu infantry, trying to get out of this fierce battle.

But in the face of the bright bayonets around them, although they slashed hard, they were still picked off by the bayonets stabbed from all sides, and although the Chu artillery ended the attack, many of their artillery pieces were still destroyed in the artillery battle.

Of course, the Qin artillery did not get any benefits, and the damage to the gunners caused by the flowering shells fired by the Chu army was far higher than the damage to the artillery, and after a few rounds of artillery battles, many artillery corpses fell on the Qin artillery positions.

The remaining gunners were already frightened, and they fled in a panic, abandoning the heavy guns on their positions and trying to escape to safety.

Without the cover of artillery, the infantry front of the Qin army began to retreat, and Sun Kewang looked desperately at the banner of the governor of Huguang of the Chu army in the distance.

Looking at the entire battlefield, although the Chu army on the southern front was blocked, and the soldiers and horses sent by him fought until they were unable to open the situation, the soldiers and horses under Su Dingyuan's command were more determined to fight, and they would not retreat even if they suffered heavy casualties.

Sun Kewang looked at the corpses of the two armies all over the place, as well as the infantry of the Chu army who continued to advance, and his heart was full of powerlessness, as if the musketeers of the Chu army could never be defeated. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m
