When Qian Liang received the order, his face was still full of astonishment, although Zuo Liangyu was not a thing, but after all, he was a thief general of the imperial court, and it was a friendly army.

"Are you sure there is no error in the command?"

The herald clenched his fists and said: "Qi Qian Qian, the order of the lord is to bombard Zuo Liangyu's department, no problem!" ”

"Grandma's!"

Qian Yan rubbed his hands a little excitedly, and then shouted: "The Franc cannon is always loaded immediately, ready to fire a salvo!" ”

"The standard cannon checks Zhu Yuan, and the target is two miles away from Zuo Liangyu, ready for test firing!"

"The standard run is ready!"

"Put!"

"Boom!"

As soon as a Franc machine gun burst into flames, a cannonball crossed the sky and fell directly into Zuo Liangyu's army, shattering a garrison on a war horse on the spot, and then the cannonball remained unabated, and after smashing on the ground, it instantly rebounded, hitting the surrounding generals back and forth. When the shells finally landed on the ground, there were already eleven or two Ming soldiers around who died on the spot.

Qian Jian stood on a temporary high platform, saw the landing point of the cannonball, and said with a smile: "Okay! This cannon is aimed accurately, and the salvo is ready! ”

"Put!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The total artillery of the Franc machine gun was all adjusted according to the data of the standard gun, and with the order of Qian Liang, seventy-two guns opened fire at the same time, and the fierce artillery fire knocked Zuo Liangyu's troops on their backs, and the rout soldiers who had just been collected were immediately divided and fell into a state of rout again.

Zuo Liangyu was riding on a tall horse, and when the first cannonball fell, he had already secretly screamed badly, and he couldn't imagine that Liu Yan would dare to do it directly to himself. Then the fierce artillery fire fell one after another, and Zuo Liangyu was even more frightened, beckoning the guards and neighboring soldiers and horses around him to run away.

"Dashuai, let's go to the east, the superintendent is in the east, let's go sue Liu Yan!"

Zuo Liangyu's generals all knew that this was Liu Yan's artillery, and no one else would have such fierce firepower except for Liu Yan's department.

Zuo Liangyu said hatefully: "East? You see, Liu Yan's Daxu is in the east, that is his main force, and going east is a dead end. ”

"Marshal, the battlefield is so chaotic, maybe it was a mistake. At present, the thief is still on the run, and Liu Shen will not pursue the thief, what are we going to do, it doesn't make sense! ”

Zuo Liangyu almost fainted to death, his idiot subordinates, he didn't even understand this, he had fought against Liu Yan several times, and he had already made a feud, and now Liu Yan was going to kill himself on the chaotic battlefield, and the supervisor Yang Sichang couldn't say anything at that time!

"Stop talking nonsense, protect me and retreat west!"

"To the west?"

The generals were dumbfounded, wasn't Zhang Xianzhong over there?

Everyone didn't dare to say much, so they followed Zhang Xianzhong and retreated to the west, and many routs gathered along the way, and after a while, more than 4,000 people were gathered.

At this time, the battlefield was extremely chaotic, and the routs of Zhang Wenxiu's troops and Zuo Liangyu's troops were all scurrying around on the battlefield. The officers and men of the battalions of the New Army led by Liu Yan also formed formations and moved rapidly on the battlefield, and there were still a large number of thieves retreating in the west.

Zuo Liangyu led more than 4,000 people to run wildly all the way, and he couldn't hear the roar of Liu Yan's artillery in his ears, and thought that he had thrown off Liu Yan's surprise attack, but he met the left battalion of the new army head-on.

"Haha! Zuo Liangyu, the stupid pig, bumped into it by himself. ”

Commanding envoy Zhang Yi looked at the Ping Thief General Daxu who was rapidly approaching in the distance, and said with a smile to Jin Xuecheng, Shi Niuzhong, and Shang Zili, the three thousand generals: "Order all the generals, prepare to intercept Zuo Liangyu's department!" ”

Jin Xuecheng, the head of the left president, and Shi Niuzhong, the head of the head of the Chinese government, are both from the former thousand households of Xiahe Village, and the two entered the new army when Liu Yan expanded the army for the first time, and then was favored by Zhang Yi with his military exploits and outstanding ability, so he was promoted all the way.

Jin Xuecheng is only twenty-five years old, but he looks a little old, with a beard that seems to be an old man in his thirties or forties, and he is also very calm.

Shi Niuzhong is more bold, and he often laughs loudly on weekdays, as if he is a hero of the rivers and lakes, and the sound of the battle is like thunder, which is still fresh in people's memories.

Shang Zili was originally a chief flag officer of the Guzhen Inspection Division, and when Liu Yan was rectifying the various places in the Qianqian Household Office of Xiahe Village, Shang Zili was not dismissed like the chief flag officer and small flag officer in the old army by virtue of his honest style and outstanding ability, but was transferred to the new army by Liu Yan and arranged to serve under Zhang Yi.

At this time, Zhang Yi ordered the battle, and the three of them quickly returned to the various departments, and the soldiers of the left battalion had been fully deployed, and more than 3,700 soldiers formed a large horizontal formation, with the left general in the west, the middle general in the middle, and the right general in the east, which directly blocked the left Liangyu's department.

"Birdboy ready to fire a volley!"

"Raise the gun! Aim! ”

"Put!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

More than 1,000 bird-gunners from the left battalion continued to fire volleys, and the fierce fire caused Zuo Liangyu's troops to be killed and wounded, and the soldiers who rushed to the front almost fell in pieces, screaming one after another.

Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at this scene, he didn't expect Liu Yan to be so vicious, and he also ambushed a large army here, seeing that there were as many as a battalion, this was going to kill himself!

"Liu Yan, you are so ruthless!"

After all, Zuo Liangyu is also a veteran general who has been rampant in all directions for many years, and at this time, he is also evil to the guts, and ordered to concentrate 500 dead soldiers, relying on shields and planks, and concentrate troops to attack the left battalion phalanx.

"Break through the enemy's defense line, and reward each person with a hundred taels of silver!"

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and these five hundred dead soldiers also mustered up their courage at this time, formed a shield array to charge, and the remaining more than 2,000 people followed, two groups of men and horses were separated by two hundred steps, and Zuo Liangyu also followed behind among the large groups of men and horses.

Zhang Yi looked at the Zuojun shield array that had rushed to within a hundred steps, and said in a cold voice: "Heaven-shaking thunder is waiting!" ”

"Grenadier, step forward!"

The battalions of the new army are equipped with a large number of sky-shaking mines, and they are also new types of sky-shaking mines that use granular gunpowder, which are smaller and more powerful.

Each team of swords and shields were equipped with several, at this time, with the order of the Shangguan, hundreds of swords and shields rushed out, in groups of two, one holding a pier in front of the cover, the other holding a fire fold in one hand, and a sky-shaking thunder in the other, everyone rushed forward quickly, at a distance of thirty steps from the left army's shield array, one by one the earth-shaking thunder was thrown, and the sound of stabbing and stabbing was endless.

The explosion of the earth-shattering thunder was very violent, and countless fragments flew in all directions, sweeping the surrounding soldiers of the Left Army to the ground, and the broken iron, porcelain, and gravel were boosted by gunpowder and hit the human body.

The five hundred dead soldiers selected by Zuo Liangyu were killed and injured in a very short period of time under the blows of earth-shaking thunder and bird guns, and the remaining dozens of dead soldiers fled backwards with a mental breakdown.

The subsequent more than 2,000 soldiers of the Left Army were also frightened when they saw this, and immediately dispersed, Zuo Liangyu was also coerced and retreated, and the war horse was startled in the explosion, and directly erected on the spot, knocking Zuo Liangyu to the ground on the spot.

"Ahh

Zuo Liangyu wanted to stand up, but the chaotic crowd was full of running people, and Zuo Liangyu was immediately trampled on the ground by the crowd, and soon his flesh and blood were blurred and he died.

Zhang Yi always paid attention to Zuo Liangyu's Daxu, and saw a person being overturned to the ground by a tall horse, it was estimated that it was Zuo Liangyu, and immediately shouted: "The whole army attacked, capture Zuo Liangyu, live or die!" ”

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

More than 3,700 soldiers of the left battalion rushed to kill in formation, and a horizontal formation of more than 1,000 pikemen directly pushed over, stabbing countless routers to death on the spot.

Zhang Yi also rushed directly into the crowd with the guards and Ye Bushu, and it didn't take long to rush to the place where Zuo Liangyu had fallen off his horse.

"Find! Find me Zuo Liangyu! ”

Zhang Yi yelled, since the fight has started, Zuo Liangyu can't get away, otherwise the follow-up will be too troublesome.

"Commander, I've found it!"

The guard flag shouted loudly, Zhang Yi hurriedly ran over, only to see a bloody corpse, with the armor, service and waist tag on the corpse, and the seal, it can be concluded that this is the thief general Zuo Liangyu.

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Okay! The head was cut off and brought back to the lord along with the seal and the waist tag, and the body and the clothes were burned on the spot. ”

"Yes!"

When Liu Yan received Zhang Yi's report, he also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the bloodstained waist card and seal letter, and said: "Dispose of these things, along with that head, and don't leave a handle for people." ”

"Yes." Miao Shao immediately turned things out and went to do it himself.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield was already very clear, Zhang Wenxiu's troops were basically wiped out, Zuo Liangyu's troops were basically dispersed, and the officers and men of the battalions of the New Army were advancing westward according to the order.

"I hope that Zhang Xianzhong can be stopped this time and get rid of this scourge!"

Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty did everything they could to slander Zhang Xianzhong in history, such as putting the Manchu Dynasty's own slaughter of Sichuan on Zhang Xianzhong's head, saying that Zhang Xianzhong was massacring the city in Sichuan.

But what is the real history? The period of the precipitous decline in Sichuan's population coincided with the time when the Qing army entered Sichuan, and Zhang Xianzhong was already dead at this time!

However, although Zhang Xianzhong was wronged in the massacre of the city in Sichuan, it does not mean that Zhang Xianzhong is a good person, this person is indeed a murderer, like Li Zicheng, and he is also a-stirring stick in the late Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Liu Yan does not have a good impression of Zhang Xianzhong, as long as he has the opportunity, he will spare no effort to kill him.

"But then again, if you meet Li Dingguo, you can still fight for it, after all, Li Dingguo in history resolutely resisted the Qing Dynasty and is a veritable national hero, and I don't want to fight to the death with such a person."

Liu Yan led his troops to the west, and soon a group of heralds came to report on horses.

"Lord Qiyu, the commander of the cavalry battalion Xu Ming has caught up with Zhang Xianzhong's main force and is fighting with the main force of the thieves, the commander of the right battalion Wang Bo, the commander of the front battalion Chen Xun, and the commander of the rear battalion Wang Yue have already led their troops to support."

Liu Yan was overjoyed and said: "Order the left battalion and the middle battalion to go to reinforcements immediately, and the artillery battalion and the guard battalion together quickly move closer to the western battlefield!" ”

"Yes!"

Some people died, but not completely......
