In the army of thieves, Li Zicheng's face was very ugly, and the more than 400 artillery pieces he mobilized did not cause major casualties to Liu Yanbu, but was directly scrapped by Liu Yanbu's artillery battalion, which made Li Zicheng difficult to accept.

Li Dingguo suggested that the whole army should be pressed, so as not to continue to be killed and injured by Liu Yan's artillery fire, but Li Zicheng was a little hesitant at this time, looking at the front of the military formation, Liu Yan seemed to pull out all the new army soldiers and horses in the city, and the strength of the army was better than the last battle, and the strength of his own side was only the same as before, and the combat power of the firearms battalion was even worse than the last battle.

If all the battalions are pressed up, can they really win against Liu Yanbu?

At this moment, Li Zicheng did not have the confidence to win against Liu Yan in his heart, and he also had the idea of withdrawing the army.

It's just that the faint pain in his left eye made Li Zicheng unable to give the order to withdraw the army, and he also held his breath in his heart, wanting to continue to fight this one.

Liu Zongmin looked at the hesitant Li Zicheng, and naturally knew that King Chuang had the intention of retreating, so he said: "King Chuang doesn't have to be entangled, this battle is inevitable." Even if my rebels don't want to fight......"

Liu Zongmin raised his horsewhip, pointed to the large formation of the new army in the distance, and continued: "Then will Liu Yan let my army withdraw safely?" ”

Liu Zongmin's words made Li Zicheng make up his mind, and then said loudly: "Order all battalions, press on King Ben Chuang, and let all the dead soldiers and infantry of each battalion attack." This time, King Benchuang wants to exchange his life for Liu Yan's artillery battalion! ”

"Haha, happy, King Chuang!"

Liu Zongmin also wanted revenge and loudly conveyed Li Zicheng's order.

Soon, in the formation of the thief army, countless flags began to shake, which was for Li Guo and Li Lai

Heng and other senior generals watched. As for the commanders, brigade commanders, department commanders, sentinel commanders, and even ordinary cavalry and armor soldiers of each battalion, they basically could not understand the meaning of the flags, and they needed to send a large number of men and horses to convey orders everywhere.

When the dead soldiers and infantry of the thieves' battalions received orders one after another and began to charge desperately, Liu Yan also issued an order for the whole army to meet the battle.

Qian Yu shouted loudly: "Tiger Zun cannon preparation, rocket artillery vehicle preparation, Franc machine gun continues to bombard!" ”

Unlike the Hongyi cannon, the Franc cannon must be stopped for at least half an hour to cool down every three to four fires, otherwise it will explode.

Because of the reloading, the Franc cannon dissipates heat very quickly and can continue to bombard.

At this time, the gunners of the new army artillery battalion were very tired, but their spirits were very high, and they had never fought such a lively artillery array, so although the action was a little deformed when loading the artillery, the speed was not much full, and the firepower of the artillery battalion was the same as before!

Rumble!

A volley of shells flew into the crowd, and by this time the dead soldiers and infantry of the bandits' battalions had all been pressed down.

Directly in front of the artillery battalion were the soldiers and horses of the front and middle battalions of the thieves, and the left and right wings were the soldiers and horses of the left and right battalions. As for the dead soldiers and infantry in the rear battalion, because they were too far away from the battlefield in front and had to pass through the entire army formation, Li Guo did not move for the time being after consulting Li Zicheng.

At the same time, Sun Kewang also led his troops to launch a charge, and 17,000 pikemen followed behind countless dead soldiers and infantry, rushing towards the artillery battalion of the new army.

The 3,000 firecrackers led by Li Dingguo and the 4,000 horsemen led by Ai Nengqi really didn't attack.

new

In the military artillery barracks, looking at the sea of thieves getting closer and closer, Qian Jian ordered all the firepower of the artillery battalion to fire, countless rockets flew in the air, and the barrage fired by the Huzun cannon swept the crowd in front, and more than 200 artillery pieces on the artillery camp and the city wall were still roaring.

Under such a fierce artillery attack, even if the thief army was outnumbered, it was severely cut down several layers, and countless dead soldiers were killed on the way forward.

On the front, a dozen strong women with wooden sticks in their hands ran forward crying, all of whom belonged to the same village, and since the village was sacked by the army of thieves, everyone had become dead soldiers in the army.

The husbands and fathers of these strong women have either died on the battlefields everywhere, or they have survived and been selected as armor soldiers, and only these strong women are still struggling in the ranks of the dead soldiers.

Suddenly, a cannonball flew head-on, directly shattering the head of a strong woman, and then hitting several strong women behind without abating, directly breaking the human body apart!

Several strong women around were splashed with blood and minced meat, and then laughed, cried, and screamed nervously like ghosts, and several people had forgotten to charge and run at this time, so they stood in place desperately venting their fears, grief and anger in their hearts,, why did they let themselves be born in such a world, why did those thieves not die, but they had to act as cannon fodder!

The strong women were then knocked down and trampled by the crowd that came from behind, and in an instant, they were all over the ground like their companions.

"Put!"

The artillery roared, the shells flew, and the thieves and dead soldiers were advancing step by step, getting closer and closer to the artillery camp position

Recently, Qian Jian shouted when he saw this: "The Tiger Zun cannon and rocket artillery vehicles continue to fire salvos, and the Franc machine gun will always retreat!" ”

As the guns of the artillery battalion began to retreat, the firepower of the new army began to weaken, and although the thieves and dead soldiers did not know what was happening, the terrifying roar of the heavy artillery suddenly decreased a lot, and the hope of life suddenly welled up in everyone's hearts.

And Li Zicheng looked at the sea of dead soldiers who were about to rush to the front of the new army's artillery battalion, and also ordered all the armored soldiers and cavalry of each battalion to press.

In this battle, since Li Zicheng is determined to fight, he must do his best to suppress all the forces that can be used.

"The dead retreat, and the infantry kills; The infantry retreated, and the armor killed them; The armor retreats, and the horses kill them! ”

"All the soldiers and horses of each battalion are put into battle, and King Benchuang doesn't believe that hundreds of thousands of horses will not retreat from the battle, and tens of thousands of people in Liu Yan's district will not be destroyed!"

Soon, the thieves' battalions began to move forward, Liu Fangliang's department on the left flank, Yuan Zongdi's department on the right flank, Li Laiheng's department and Li Dingguo's department in front, and Liu Zongmin's department behind the two.

At this time, except for Li Guobu of the rear battalion, who began to move in the direction of the Chinese army and took over from the middle battalion to protect the Chinese army, all the soldiers and horses of the rest of the battalions pressed up.

Hundreds of thousands of thieves roared and charged, and in the wilderness west of Kaifeng City, there were thieves' soldiers and horses galloping wildly, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance, as if there was only an army of thieves left in the whole world!

Liu Yan looked at the army of thieves who were killed, and said to Xun Jingyun and Miao Shao beside him: "The current Li Zicheng seems to be a gambler who loses his red eye, betting all his net worth, even his house and wife, on the gambling table

Thinking about getting it back to the original. It's just that such gamblers tend to lose cleanly. ”

"In this battle, this town wants to let Li Zicheng's troops be defeated, and from now on, when Li Zicheng sees the battle flag of the new army in my Qinglai Town, his legs will be weak and trembling!"

"Chuan Ben Town's order: all battalions of birds are ready to fire a salvo!"

"Order Chen Yongfu's artillery to continue to bombard, without stopping, even if it is blown up, shoot at me!"

"Order the artillery battalion to prepare to retreat and give way to the frontal firing range!"

The heralds scattered in all directions, and the banners and horns of the Chinese army were constantly changing.

The battalions of the Forces nouvelles were commanded to move quickly, and all the Birdmen were ready to rely on earthen carts or sandbag walls, and behind them were a dense crowd of pikemen and sword and shield bearers.

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion led by Xu Ming are also assembled at this moment, ready to attack and kill the enemy at any time.

On the artillery battalion position, the rocket artillery trucks have all run out of ammunition, and the sea of thieves is still advancing.

Qian Liang looked at the thieves and horses in front of him, who were less than a mile away, and roared with a hideous face: "Release!" ”

Seventy-two Huzun cannons fired the last salvo, and then in the roar of Qian Qiao, all the soldiers of the artillery battalion turned around and ran wildly, and everyone didn't care about those cannons at the moment, and all of them took steps and rushed to the middle camp phalanx not far away.

"Kill the officer!"

"Rush up, kill one officer and soldier, and reward five taels of silver!"

"If you kill two officers and soldiers, you can directly choose them as a soldier, and those who kill three people will be promoted to Xiaocai!"

For these thieves and infantrymen, being able to become a soldier or a cavalry soldier means that they can get out of the sea of suffering, not only have better daily food, but also a place to live

It's better, and the hope of living on your own is greater.

Therefore, with the continuous encouragement of the generals of the thieves' battalions, those dead soldiers have gone completely crazy at this moment, and they all howled and quickened their pace, even the strong women in the crowd were the same, and even women held sticks and kitchen knives in one hand, and the children in their arms in the other, screaming and rushing forward.

In the middle camp formation, Shen Tuo looked at the scene not far away, his face was gloomy, once the bird opened fire, those women and children would definitely die, Shen Tuo and the soldiers in the battalion were unbearable, but they had to fire.

"These blood debts must be recorded on Li Zicheng and the leaders of the thieves, if Lao Tzu catches them, they must be broken into pieces!"

Shen Tuo thought secretly in his heart, and then ordered to fire.

"Put!"

In an instant, the middle, left, and right battalions of the new army opened fire at the same time, and the fierce fire swept forward, and the sea of thieves who rushed to about 100 paces were suddenly blocked by the barrage, like a stormy wave hitting the reef, and directly stopped the pace of advancement.

"Put!"

There was another volley, and the thieves fell down in pieces, and the woman who was holding the child in her arms just now was also hit by three guns and fell in a pool of blood, and the child in her arms stopped crying at this moment, and snuggled quietly in her mother's arms.

The moment the woman closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth rose incredibly slightly, maybe only at the moment of real death, for this mother and son, is it relief!

Shen Tuo's eyes were red at this time, watching the mother and son being overwhelmed by the crowd rushing up from behind, and they couldn't even save their bodies after death, and his heart was full of anger, and then he tried his best to shout loudly and vent his heart

grief and anger in the .

"Put!"

The bird gunners kept shooting, the three-stage shooting continued, and the fierce firepower caused heavy casualties to the charging thieves and dead soldiers, even Liu Fangliang, Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi and other thieves who didn't care about these dead soldiers were frowning at this moment, and their hearts were shocked.

"Liu Yanbu's bird gun is so sharp!"

At the same time, Sun Kewang led 17,000 pikemen to rush up, but after the birds and gunners of the middle battalion began to fire a volley, Sun Kewang looked ahead in horror, only to see that the dead soldiers in front of him were like crops in autumn, harvested layer by layer, and could not rush in front of the new army at all.

Maybe the shield-wielding soldiers of each battalion can rush to the front of the battle, and it is okay for those horsemen to fight for casualties, but are the leaders of the battalions willing to fight so hard?

At least until the dead soldiers and infantry of each battalion are exhausted, the thieves of each battalion will not invest in the real elite.

So at this time, Sun Kewang was the same, he directly ordered the pikemen to stop advancing, and then formed a phalanx on the spot to stand by, driving the dead soldiers and infantry passing around to the sides, and then continued to attack the new army formation.

"Rush, die!"

Sun Kewang's hideous face emerged, and he roared angrily at the Zhongying phalanx in the distance: "I don't believe it, I rushed over with tens of thousands of lives!" ”

In the new army, Liu Yan frowned slightly, at this time, the artillery fire on the city wall was weakening, and two artillery pieces had already been blown up, Chen Yongfu sent someone to ask for help for the third time, hoping to stop the shelling and let the artillery dissipate heat.

But Liu Yan still didn't let go, and ordered Chen Yongfu's troops to continue firing until all the artillery exploded!

Liu Yan looked at the battlefield in front of him, those dead soldiers,

The corpses of the infantry had already piled up in front of the new formations, forming a pile of corpses that was half a man high. The rogue soldiers who rushed up from behind even needed to crawl over before they could continue to charge.

And the armor soldiers and horsemen of the thieves' battalions are also moving forward, but there is still some distance from the new military formation.

"Give Chen Yongfu an order: All artillery is aimed at the cavalry and armor soldiers of the thieves' battalions, give me a blast!"
