Bai Miao made up his mind, and immediately ordered Bai Dazhuang to bring 700 old battalion soldiers and horses to press up, relying on the trench to block the Ming army, and he was ready to bring the remaining more than 100 old battalion soldiers and horses to collect those scattered thieves.

"General be careful!"

Bai Dazhuang gave an instruction, and rushed to the south with hundreds of old battalion soldiers and horses, at this time several bonfires in the south were burning, and with the help of the firelight, the Ming army could already be seen not far away.

Bai Dazhuang is also a general who can fight in the army of thieves, although he is not a high-ranking general, but he can be regarded as having seen a big battle.

But at this time, Bai Dazhuang looked at the Ming army not far away, and a chill surged in his heart.

Where is this Ming army, most of them are wearing iron armor, and those Ming soldiers who are not wearing armor are all holding bird guns, looking at the black bird guns, Bai Dazhuang only feels that his head is numb, and at first glance it is not the kind of explosive goods he has seen before.

"Shoot the arrows!"

At this time, Bai Dazhuang didn't care about anything else, and there were more than 700 old battalion soldiers and horses under his command and more than 30 archers, so he immediately ordered to release arrows to block the Ming army as much as possible and buy time for Baimiao.

A rain of arrows shot out, and when it landed in the Ming army's horizontal formation, there was a crackling sound, which was the sound of arrows hitting the iron armor. Only two Ming soldiers were unlucky, and they fell to the ground screaming after being shot by arrows, but there were no other casualties among the Ming army.

Liu Yan, who was advancing with the central outpost, had a pale face, although he knew that there would be casualties in a battle, but when he saw the two dun soldiers being killed by bows and arrows, he still couldn't help but be angry.

"Damn the thief, you only sent out archers at this time!"

Immediately, Liu Yan ordered to stop advancing: "The bird gunner is ready to shoot!" ”

Miao Shao, Zhang Yi, Wang Bo, and Chen Xun heard the sound of the horns blown by the drummer, and ordered all the posts to stop advancing, and then shouted almost at the same time: "Birds, raise the guns!" ”

One hundred and ninety bird guns from the four sentinels raised their bird guns in their hands, and the black hole hole pointed at Bai Dazhuang's department fifty steps away, so that those thieves veterans who had experienced many big battles couldn't help but be afraid.

"Fire!"

Liu Yan roared angrily.

The four small flag officers ordered at the same time, and one hundred and ninety bird-swordsmen opened fire at the same time, and a burst of fire flashed, and a storm composed of projectiles swept by, directly taking away more than thirty soldiers from the old camp of thieves!

Bai Dazhuang fell to the ground at the first time, and then looked left and right, he and his old battalion soldiers and horses had no iron armor protection, at most they were wearing thick cotton clothes, and they couldn't stop the shooting of the Ming army's birds.

At a distance of more than fifty steps, at such a close distance, Bai Dazhuang knew in his heart that he and his brothers were living targets, and they had to lean on it and let the Ming army's bird gun become a burning stick.

"Rush with me!"

Bai Dazhuang roared, those soldiers of the old battalion who did not lose money for the rest of their lives, even if they were beaten by the birds of Dapan Fort, they were still bloody, and rushed forward after Bai Dazhuang.

Liu Yan frowned slightly when he saw this, these thieves in front of him were so brave, they were definitely not those ordinary thieves and chaotic people, most of them were rogue soldiers and horses who were scurrying over.

"Good time, I'll kill you tonight!"

At the same time, the bird-screws of each sentry had been loaded, and several small flag officers roared and opened fire, and after a burst of fire, more than seventy rogue soldiers who rushed to the front were knocked down, and almost most of them were killed on the spot, only a dozen wounded people covered their wounds, lying on the cold ground and wailing, allowing their companions to rush past them.

At this time, the sentry bird gunners had no time to reload the third time, even with the blessing of fixed ammunition, the rate of fire of the arquebus was still not as fast as the flintlock gun, and the distance between the two sides was too close at this time, Liu Yan had to order the bird gun to be on guard with a knife, and the spearman and the sword and shield hand were ready to fight.

Liu Yan looked at the bird guns that had put away the bird guns, and then pulled out the waist knives, and said secretly in his heart: "Bayonets, it seems that bayonets are sharp weapons that must be developed." With bayonets, the Bird Gunners can be used from near and far, and the pikemen can be phased out in the army! ”

Under his thoughts, Bai Dazhuang had already led the thieves and horses to rush to the front, and the two sides collided in an instant.

"Kill!"

Bai Dazhuang split the shield of a sword and shield hand with a knife, and then swept a knife and directly knocked the sword and shield hand away, this knife was right on the shoulder of the sword and shield hand, and the wound was deep and the bone was visible!

Looking at the sword and shield hand who fell to the ground and was bleeding non-stop, Bai Dazhuang laughed arrogantly, and was about to break into the formation of the Dapan Fort Army with the soldiers behind him, but then he was forced back by the four spears that stabbed in front of him.

Chen Xun, the little flag officer, glared at Bai Dazhuang angrily and shouted loudly: "Kill him!" Kill him for me! ”

The pikemen of Dapanbao are all wearing armor, and the spears in their hands are very advantageous in the battle, so even if there are fierce generals like Bai Dazhuang, it is difficult for these rogue soldiers to break through the horizontal formation of the Ming army, but there are constantly rogue soldiers who are poked to death in front of the formation.

Liu Yan held a Yanling knife in his hand to supervise the battle in the back, only to see that although these dun troops under his command had just been trained, many of them had frightened expressions on their faces, but under the command of Chen Xun and several other small flag officers, it was miraculous that none of the dun troops escaped from the battle.

Although this was due to the strict rules set by Liu Yan, those who escaped from the battle would not only be beheaded, but also their families would be expelled from Dapanbao. With this military rule, coupled with the rigorous drills on weekdays, and the blessing of excellent military equipment, even if these recruits are timid and unfamiliar with their combat skills, they can still stabilize their positions and fight against those battle-hardened thieves and soldiers without falling behind!

In less than a stick of incense, the two sides fought against each other and had a result.

More than 30 of the thief soldiers under Bai Dazhuang fell in a short period of time, plus more than 100 people who were killed by the bird gunners before, in such a short period of time, the elite of these 700 old battalions lost nearly 150 people!

Such a battle loss ratio, let alone a rogue soldier, even the white-armored soldiers of Jiannu can't bear it!

At this time, Bai Dazhuang looked at the Ming army that was still as stable as Mount Tai, since the battle began, it seemed that these Ming troops had not lost many people, and he only saw ten or eight Ming troops fall at most, such a result Bai Dazhuang could not accept, and Bai Dazhuang could not bear such battle damage.

So Bai Daqiang roared: "Withdraw!" ”

At this time, in Bai Dazhuang's heart, this battle has been lost, completely lost, and now what we have to consider is not how to defeat the Ming army in front of us, but how to safely protect Baimiao and escape from here.

The remaining more than 500 rogue soldiers quickly retreated, and Liu Yan laughed loudly when he saw this, and immediately ordered all the sentry birds to be reloaded immediately.

The small flag officers of the various posts also breathed a sigh of relief, such a battle to the death was also the first time that everyone had encountered it, and the faces of several small flag officers were miserable and pale, but fortunately, they successfully carried it through.

Liu Yan calculated, and after less than half a minute, all the whistle drummers sent a signal that the loading had been completed, and Liu Yan immediately ordered to fire.

A burst of fire flashed, and the retreating rogue soldiers were suddenly hit hard, and this round of salvo directly took away more than a hundred enemy soldiers, after all, the distance was too close, and those rogue soldiers subconsciously maintained their formation when they retreated, and involuntarily gathered with each other, which directly caused a massacre general killing effect!

Liu Yan looked at the tragic situation in front of him, but there was a trace of excitement in his heart, and he shouted loudly: "Order the cavalry post to attack!" ”

A horn sounded, and Xu Ming, the little flag officer who couldn't wait, cheered, and led more than 180 people from the cavalry post to ride around the horizontal formation, directly crossed the trench, and rushed into the camp of the thieves.

"Quick, support the Chinese army!"

As soon as the words fell, Bai Dazhuang heard a roar, and the damn Ming Army Bird Gun opened fire again.

Only this time, Bai Dazhuang felt a sharp pain coming from his back, staggered two steps and stopped in place, looking down to see bright red blood oozing from his chest, and couldn't believe that he had been hit by the Ming Army's bird.

"Damn, what kind of fire gun is this, it can actually come out of the body!"

Bai Dazhuang only had time to scold, and then he fell to the ground in front of him.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the old battalion around them immediately dispersed. Although these old battalion soldiers are strong, they still can't change the nature of thieves, and they only think about fleeing for their lives when they lose the battle.

At this time, the camp of thieves became even more chaotic, and the original army of more than 3,000 thieves turned into more than 3,000 routs in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Liu Yan immediately led his troops to rush into the camp, and then killed the enemy separately with the sentry as a unit.

"Shout! Let them lay down their weapons and surrender, and those who do not surrender will be killed! ”

Soon, the roars of persuasion to surrender sounded inside and outside the bandit camp, and after the sentry soldiers of Dapanbao killed hundreds of thieves, most of the thieves surrendered obediently, and only more than 300 soldiers from the old camp of thieves gathered in the area of the Chinese army to resist stubbornly.

Liu Yan immediately led the outpost and the outpost to support, Chen Xun and Miao Shao protected Liu Yan on the left and right, everyone looked ahead, only to see a man in white who looked like a scholar was commanding those thieves, and the small flag officer Xu Ming led the soldiers of the cavalry post to attack twice, although they killed and injured hundreds of thieves, but they were still beaten out, and they also lost more than a dozen dun soldiers.

Liu Yan immediately ordered the cavalry post to be withdrawn, and then stepped forward with the bird guns of the Chinese army post and the outpost.

"Fire!"

After a volley, the thieves around the Chinese army were suddenly cut off, and at least hundreds of people were shot, but those thieves still did not retreat, and they all glared at the soldiers of Dapanbao viciously.

Seeing this, Liu Yan couldn't help but be surprised: "Who is the man in white?" I was able to gather these thieves and not disperse! ”

At the same time, Baimiao stood in the crowd in despair, looked at the Ming army who surrounded him, and also saw Liu Yan wearing the general flag official clothes and coat armor in the crowd, and said secretly: "This is Liu Yan?" ”

At this moment, there was another volley, and there were only more than a hundred bandit soldiers left near the Chinese army, and the ground was almost stained red with blood, and the scene was so tragic that even those bird-gunners couldn't help but retch.

Liu Yan waved his hand to signal to stop shooting, and then said loudly: "The leader on the other side, please come out and speak." ”

Bai Miao took a few steps forward, and then said loudly: "I am the general of the White Temple, I don't know what advice Liu Zongqi has?" ”

Liu Yan raised his eyebrows, he had heard Chu Yunfei say that Sun Qian had contacted a thief's subordinate, and now that he remembered it, it was probably related to this person.

However, Sun Qian is dead, and Liu Yan is not interested in delving into this matter further, the reason why Liu Yan came to ask at this time is to hold a little luck to see if he will catch any big people among the thieves, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

"White Temple? I don't know, then it's fine, you stand back. ”

Bai Miao was about to talk generously, wanting to deter Liu Yan and the Ming army in front of the battle, but when he suddenly heard Liu Yan's words, he was immediately suffocated and almost spurted blood.

"You!"

As soon as Bai Miao was about to reprimand loudly, he heard another roar, and dozens of thieves and soldiers, including Bai Miao, were killed on the spot. The remaining dozens of thieves could no longer endure such fear and suffering, and surrendered one after another.

But Liu Yan looked at these thieves, but he didn't plan to let them go, these people are all old thieves, and there is no possibility of changing their faces.

So Liu Yan waved his hand, and Xu Ming immediately led the cavalry post to rush up, and then in the angry scolding of those thieves, he killed the last dozens of people.
