Sun Kewang's face was full of pain, and the 30,000 pikemen rolled back like a tide, how crazy they were when they charged before, and how embarrassed they were when they fled for their lives now.

The officers and soldiers fired an unprecedented volley of firearms, causing at least 2,000 people in front of the army to fall in a pool of blood, and the shock caused by such casualties made those pikemen unable to hold on any longer, and the fighting spirit in their hearts suddenly disappeared.

The rout troops under the retreat of the tide continued to impact the men and horses in the rear, and Sun Kewang also had to retreat with the rout of the brigade.

In this battle, he didn't even see the face of the officers and soldiers, so he led his troops to defeat, which was a great blow to the arrogant Sun Kewang, and until he retreated to the rear, Sun Kewang was speechless, and his face was very ugly.

Liu Yan held a clairvoyant mirror to watch the battle, and saw that the thief firearms battalion was completely defeated, and a stone in his heart also fell to the ground.

Immediately, Liu Yan received news that the guards on both wings of the army had begun to engage in battle.

At this time, there was the sound of bird salvos on both wings of the army, Liu Yan held the clairvoyant mirror and looked over, the army of thieves on both wings swarmed, and the boundless crowd almost surrounded tens of thousands of soldiers of the new army, and the momentum was very strong.

"Tell Miao Shao to hold the two wings of the army at any cost."

"Immediately transfer the pikemen and sword and shield men of the guard battalion to the two wings, and at the same time give Chen Yongfu an order to order the Franc machine guns at the head of the city to open fire and bombard the thieves on both wings."

A moment later, a large number of Franc machine guns on the west city wall of Kaifeng began to roar, and large and small shells continued to fall in the military formations of Liu Fangliang and Li Guo. Although the firepower of more than 100 Franc cannons was strong, when they fell into the army of 300,000 thieves on both wings, it was like falling into the sea, and it could not cause many ripples at all.

Chen Yongfu looked at the fierce battle outside the city, at this time the two wings of the new army continued to hear the roar of bird salvos, fortunately, the attack surface of the two wings was not wide, and the thieves and horses could only attack through the range of one or two miles on the two wings, and they could not invest too many troops each time, which led to the two wings of the new army, countless rogue soldiers crowded together, which looked violent, but in fact, it was convenient for the new army's bird gunners to shoot.

"Put!"

The gunners at the head of the city opened fire nervously, and two of them were so nervous that the doors of the Franc machine were not locked, and after ignition, a hot wave of air gushed out, scalding the two gunners to death on the spot.

The surrounding gunners were all startled when they saw this, and they all ran to the side, and even a timid gunner directly urinated out a piece of rehmannia soup.

Chen Yongfu was so angry when he saw this, these gunners are still like bears in the city, if they go outside the city to meet the enemy, then they have to surrender on the spot?

"Bastards, keep bombarding me, if the new army outside the city is defeated, you all have to die!"

"Carry those two dead ghosts down, and you guys go reload that cannon!"

Chen Yongfu commanded nervously, and suddenly heard a shout of "Wansheng" from outside the city, and hurriedly gathered an arrow to look out.

I saw that on the right flank of the new army, two or three thousand pikemen in armor had already rushed out of the low wall defense line and were advancing in formation. And the countless thieves and soldiers in front are running and retreating, such a scene makes Chen Yongfu stunned, two or three thousand people chase tens of thousands of thieves to fight the forwards, the new army is not only strong in firearms, but also so brave in close combat, it is incredible!

"With General Liu here, this battle will be won!"

On the battlefield on the right flank of the new army, the left commander made Wu Xingzhou hold his head high, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, striding forward.

"Forward!"

Wu Xingzhou roared loudly, just now, the birds and guns continued to fire volleys, killing and injuring a large number of rogue troops, but still let the outnumbered rogue soldiers and horses rush to the front.

Those thief soldiers who rushed up by stepping on the corpses of their companions are all hideous-looking, brutal and vicious, even if such people give them money and food and let them go back to farming and living, they will not go back, because these thief soldiers have become accustomed to killing and robbing and living happily, and will never honestly go back to be ordinary people!

Therefore, Wu Xingzhou hated such a thief to the core, and after being ordered to lead his troops to attack, he began to rush and fight with more than 2,000 spearmen, sword and shield men.

In front, the pikemen of the new army were wearing heavy armor, and the spears of nearly four meters in their hands were all held flat, resting on the shoulders of several rows of sword and shield men in front, like the Macedonian phalanx in the west, advancing in unison.

In the face of such a military formation, those rogue soldiers had no way to crack it, and they were assassinated by spears two or three meters away, and most of the axes and pikes thrown by the rogue soldiers could not break through the heavy armor of the new army soldiers, and only a few hit the hands and feet of the new army soldiers, or their faces.

Soon, the retreating thief army in front of it no longer counterattacked, under the pressure of Wu Xingzhou's department, the retreat of the thief army also became a rout, the crowd was like a huge wave, began to roll upside down, the already crowded battlefield, it became even more dense, so that the artillery on the head of Kaifeng City, achieved a better killing effect.

At this time, Liu Fangliang's expression was as usual, although the attack was frustrated, and there were many dead soldiers and horses in front, but the dead were basically dead soldiers, and a small number of infantry, and the armored soldiers and horsemen in the battalion were not dispatched.

It doesn't matter how many dead soldiers and horses those cannon fodder soldiers and horses are, as long as they build a city, they can be replenished immediately.

"Transfer people to go up, supervise the battle in front, and those who do not have the generals to retreat, kill!"

Liu Fangliang gave orders in a cold voice, and soon a group of armored soldiers was dispatched and established a defensive line in front to prevent the rout from retreating.

The armoured soldiers were divided into two teams, the armoured soldiers in front were armed with spears, and the armoured soldiers in the back drew their bows and were ready to fire, and with an order, they flew like locusts, and the retreating rout soldiers were immediately shot dead.

A woman in her thirties, scrawny and disheveled, running in terror and howling, each holding a child of five or six years old, mother and son were one of the "dead soldiers" of the left camp of the thieves!

In the army of thieves, only the families of those armored soldiers and horsemen can be organized into the old camp to be supported, and the rest of the infantry and the families of the dead soldiers will all be treated as dead soldiers, whether it is a woman or an old man, or even a child of a few years old, they will also be sent to death.

For Li Zicheng, although these women, children and children cannot kill the enemy, they can consume the firearms and arrows of the official army, and can act as a meat shield for the armored soldiers and horsemen, which is enough.

At this time, the woman was pulling the two children, and ran back with the crowd in terror, when suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air, dense arrows fell, and people around them were constantly hit by arrows and fell to the ground, screaming one after another.

Suddenly, the woman felt that her left hand was stagnant, and when she looked down, she saw an arrow hit the child's neck, and the child's eyes were round, and the child had already raised his head and was silent, and the blood flowed down the child's neck, almost dyeing the little body red.

"Ahh

The rear army was in front of him, but the woman no longer had the strength to run, and she held the child's body in her arms and screamed loudly, while the other child sobbed in fear, standing beside her mother at a loss.

At this moment, there was a sound of neat steps ahead, and the thief armor soldier in charge of supervising the battle arrived with a spear in hand, driving the rout to rush forward again, desperately fighting with the soldiers of the new army.

The woman was still immersed in pain, and then she was pierced through the body by a spear, and the bodies of the mother and son were strung together.

The only remaining child was also assassinated by another spear, and a rogue soldier grabbed the child's corpse with a spear and shook it vigorously, throwing the small corpse a dozen steps away, causing the surrounding rogue soldiers to laugh wildly.

Soon, the defeated troops on the battlefield were forced back again, and collided with Wu Xingzhou's spearman again, and the two sides fought again.

This time, Wu Xingzhou obviously felt the pressure doubled, those thieves and dead soldiers except for the vicious people who rushed to the front at the beginning, most of them were coerced people, their weapons were just farm tools, and even wooden sticks, among them were young and strong, there were old people, Wu Xingzhou even saw a girl with Liujia in her arms, her face was full of despair, holding her stomach with one hand, holding a firewood knife in the other, crying and rushing over.

The new spearmen in front of him could not bear to look any more, and closed his eyes with tears streaming down his face, allowing the pregnant girl to crash into the spear herself. And when the girl was out of breath, a smile appeared on her face, maybe only by dying can she be freed and leave this hellish world!

Seeing this scene, Wu Xingzhou almost went crazy, he followed the chief military officer Liu Yannan to fight in the north, and saw the brutality of the Qing army, but he never imagined that the thieves who were also Han people were so brutal, and the means of mutilating the people were no less than the Qing army Tartars, and they should really be killed!

"Don't rush anymore, don't rush again!"

At this time, many of the spearmen of the new army were in tears, and the proportion of casualties in the fierce battle was very large, almost one to ten, or even more, but everyone's hearts were not happy, but became more and more heavy.

Wu Xingzhou even shouted loudly, hoping that those thieves and dead soldiers would stop rushing, but to no avail.

Such a situation was also staged on the left flank of the new army, and Li Guo, the general of the battalion after the thieves, led the army to storm the left flank of the new army, also opening the way in front with tens of thousands of dead soldiers, and pressing the formation behind the cavalry and armored soldiers.

Countless dead soldiers went forward to attack one after another, and then all of them died, and then the next group, and after the battle died, another batch, and it continued, and it continued.

Lu Ying, the commander of the personal guard battalion who led his troops to guard the left flank of the new army, jumped like thunder, and kept asking Miao Shao for orders, whether to send the battalion to attack at night and escort horses, pass through those dead soldiers, and attack the thieves' Daxu, maybe the thieves will retreat, and the people who are coerced will not die.

However, Miao Shao, who came later, observed the battle situation for a while, and although his face was also pale, he still ordered to continue to kill the enemy with a salvo of bird-gunned hands, and occasionally held in a formation with spearmen.

Lu Ying couldn't bear it anymore and roared loudly: "General, open your eyes and look outside, those are the people, there are old people and children, women, and even babies in swaddling clothes, how do you let me fight, how the fuck do I fight!" ”

Miao Shao gritted his teeth and said, "I fucking saw it!" But now they are the dead soldiers of the thieves, you can't save them, and I can't save them! Now all you and I can do is to stay here and wait for the orders of the adults! ”

"Li Zicheng, I'm your mother!"

Lu Ying was so angry that he scolded angrily and slammed his helmet on the ground.

Miao Shao didn't care, just stared at the thieves and dead soldiers who rushed up like a tide outside, and then dropped a sentence: Hold on and don't retreat, then turn around and leave, and ride a horse to the Chinese army.

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