Chapter 087: The Lord's Incompetent Army Suffers a Setback

Seeing that his whereabouts had been revealed, the anti-thief generals led by him were extremely straightforward.

A loud roar.

First, he led people to knock over the braziers used for lighting in the camp, and then took advantage of the chaos to set fire to more than a dozen tents, and finally left quickly with a group of men.

But until this point.

Because the army of thieves is too tired, most of the soldiers have not completely woken up, and the very few soldiers and horses who woke up are naturally not opponents of the anti-thieves with a large number of people.

At present, it was pitch black outside the camp again, so that the army of flat thieves could not even pursue, so they had to watch the anti-thieves who rushed into the camp retreat.

There is no need to elaborate on the nest fire!

When the gong sounded, Hong Zhan had already woken up from his sleep.

In addition, after many years of commanding troops, Hong Zhan has long been accustomed to sleeping in armor, so after hearing the sound of the anti-thieves attacking the camp, he immediately had to carry his long sword out of the tent to face the enemy.

The surrounding soldiers quickly surrounded and firmly protected Hong Zhan in the middle.

This chaos started quickly and ended quickly.

"What about the enemy?"

Listening to the sudden stop of shouting and killing, Hong Zhan rushed to the front of the camp with his own soldiers, only to find that the thieves had gone away, and the corpses all over the ground were telling their unwillingness.

"Damn anti-thieves!"

Hong Zhan clenched his fists, his heart full of anger.

Just before he could say anything more, there was a sudden earth-shattering sound of "boom, boom, boom" in the distance.

Hong Zhan is all too familiar with these voices.

Because it's the roar of artillery!

In the past, in order to resist the northern barbarians, the Daqian court spent a huge amount of money to equip each city with the strongest weapon of this era - the Hongyi cannon.

In this era when cold weapons are still dominant, its power can be called foul.

Real bruises, bumps and dies!

"This group of bold anti-thieves actually dragged all the cannons defending the city of Bazhou City!"

At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of cannons, and Hong Zhan couldn't stop shivering.

In the past, when Hong Zhan was still a garrison, he unloaded the Hongyi cannon on his city wall more than once, and then pulled it to suppress the bandits.

Under artillery bombardment, that's called an invincible!

Hong Zhan is also often complacent, claiming that under his own anti-bandit tactics, sometimes he can directly kill all the bandits who need to be eliminated without even spending a single soldier.

The truth is within range of the cannon!

This sentence is not just talking......

But at this moment, when he saw that he was also facing the bombardment of artillery, Hong Zhan would rather that there had never been such a thing as a cannon in this world.

The so-called one report for one report.

That's pretty much it, right?

"Peng ......"

"Peng ......"

Shells made of pig iron hit the ground one after another, and then rushed forward with unparalleled inertia, destroying everything they encountered in their path with an unstoppable force.

Everywhere I went, there was a lot of erosion, and there was no physiology.

Distance.

The "boom" of artillery continues.

Spanning a distance of two or three miles, the shells continued to fall in the camp of the army of flat thieves, and the originally neat and orderly camp was bombed into ruins in a short cup of tea.

Countless soldiers died instantly......

Under the real cannonball, all beings are equal!

Seeing the roar of artillery fire in the distance coming one after another, Hong Zhan gasped. This group of thieves wouldn't have removed more than a dozen cannons from the city wall of Bazhou, right?

Hong Zhan couldn't help but guess in his heart.

If the thieves only brought a few cannons, how could the cannonballs in the sky be so frequent and dense? The number of cannons is small, but you can't play this trick.

"Get out of the way!"

The hoarse roar of the adjutant general Shi Xiongwen woke Hong Zhan up, and he looked at the camp of the Ping Thief army, which had turned into a tent of giant torches.

Hong Zhan still doesn't understand that the reason why those thieves want to light the tent before leaving is obviously to give the cannon in the distance a clear coordinate!

"Put out the fire in the camp first! Everyone, disperse and break out! ”

Hong Zhan roared, and rushed forward with his own soldiers, and knocked down more than a dozen burning tents under the continuous flying cannonballs in the distance.

The fire was quickly extinguished.

Without the fire, the camp of the Ping Thief Army at this time was dark, and the cannon in the distance was no longer able to aim without the guidance of the firelight.

It can only be according to the position that was aimed before, and the cannonballs can be fired one by one, and as for the location of the cannonballs, it is purely by luck......

Looked at.

"Stop the bombardment!"

In the distance, a man in armor stretched out his hand and signaled for the artillery to stop the bombardment, and someone next to him immediately trotted and conveyed the words to the ears of the various gunners.

This man is the one who led the anti-thieves to break through Liu Pet in Bazhou County a few days ago!

The reason why the artillery was stopped was that Liu Pet had no choice but to do it.

The cannonballs and gunpowder are so precious, even if Liu Pet and the others have broken through Bazhou City, the armory is just so lit with gunpowder and cannonballs, and they really use a little less.

Isn't it too wasteful to fire in a blind way at the moment?

He still wants to use artillery to attack the next city, but he can't run out of shells here!

"Come on, push these cannons back first."

Liu Pet commanded loudly: "In addition, the cavalry prepares for battle!" The cadres have been bombarded by our artillery for a long time, and they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and when the sky is bright, they will rush forward with me and defeat them in one fell swoop! ”

The thieves responded.

Liu Pet ordered again, "Now rest in place, and the brothers will eat and feed the horses first." ”

The voice fell.

The anti-thieves quickly rested and ate, and only waited for a life-and-death battle with the army of thieves after dawn!

……

Time passes little by little.

It was just a short time, and the eastern sky revealed a touch of fish belly white, and under the faint light, although there were still some shadows and darkness on the ground, they were already able to see normally.

In the camp of the army of thieves.

Hong Zhan was leading his own soldiers to gather the defeated soldiers and horses, and suddenly felt a tremor on the ground.

"Is this the sound of horses' hooves?!"

Hong Zhan couldn't help but exclaim, and immediately thought of something, and his face became extremely ugly, "The number of cavalry of this gang of anti-thieves is so large!" ”

Adjutant General Shi Xiongwen sighed, "Now that we have finished collecting the scattered soldiers and horses, the camp is even more chaotic, what can we do to resist the charge of the anti-thief cavalry?" ”

Hong Zhan also regretted it very much, and said: "I was greedy for merit, and I was stubborn for my own use, and in the end, I was so tired that the army came here, and I really couldn't redeem ...... death."

Shi Xiongwen was silent.

In the distance, a torrent of black flesh and blood came straight to the panicked army of thieves......

……

Yongqing County Emergency.

The thirteenth year of Chengde, March 12.

Ping thief general Hong Zhan, led an army of 30,000 Ping thieves and camped on the bank of the Lugou River, which was more than 30 miles away from the county seat of Bazhou.

In the evening, the camp of the army was attacked by anti-thief artillery, and the Pingbao army suffered heavy losses.

In the early morning of the next day, the anti-thief cavalry raided on a large scale, caught off guard, our army was defeated and lost, the commander Hong Zhan was seriously injured and fell into a coma, the deputy general Shi Xiongwen died to report the country, and the 30,000-square-meter thief army was scattered and fled by the anti-thief......

13th year of Chengde, March 15th.

The anti-thieves thwarted the army of thieves and became more and more arrogant and domineering, and in one fell swoop played the banner of "returning the government to the people" and "waiting for the noble and the low, and both the rich and the poor......
