Among the 100,000 dead soldiers in the camp of thieves, there are two brothers in the Kaifeng area, the eldest brother is named Zhang Ju, and the younger brother is named Zhang Jun.

At this time, the two brothers of the Zhang family walked in the middle of the team in fear, and the piercing sound of cannonballs constantly crossed in their ears, and they could see that rockets were constantly falling in front of them, not far in front of the two, a leader's flag was shot in the left leg by the rocket, and before he shouted a few words, he was ignited by the fire oil carried on the rocket, and the whole person turned into a burning man, running and shouting wildly in the crowd, causing a lot of commotion, or a dead soldier stabbed him to death with a shot, only to help the flag end the pain.

Rumble!

Another salvo, suddenly a cannonball swept from the right side, the eldest brother Zhang Ju was startled, and threw his younger brother Zhang Jun to the ground, the two only felt that the cannonball was flying overhead, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to look up.

Immediately afterwards, they heard a scream not far away, and the two brothers looked sideways.

I saw that three or four dead soldiers over there had been swept down by the shells, and their stumps and broken arms had fallen to the ground, and all kinds of fragments of minced meat and internal organs were scattered on the ground, staining the ground red.

A dead soldier who was about fifty years old had not yet lost his breath, holding his broken left leg and shouting heartbreakingly, looking at the face that was worse than death, Zhang Jun suddenly remembered that the veteran seemed to be from Kaifeng and was washed by the Dashun army

robbed the house, his wife and two grandsons were killed on the spot, and the veteran, his son and daughter-in-law were coerced as dead soldiers.

It's just that later when he was fighting in Xinzhou, the veteran's son and daughter-in-law were killed by the official army, and the veteran instantly became a lonely person.

Zhang Jun thought in his heart, and a trace of sadness swelled up in an instant: "I'm afraid our brother is also going to reunite with his family!" ”

At this time, Zhang Ju pulled up his younger brother and shouted, "Don't be stunned! If you want to live, follow the brigade, keep up! ”

Zhang Jun hurriedly got up and looked back, only to see that the palm flag behind him had already followed with the overseer team, and if the two brothers were slower, I am afraid that they would be cut down by those overseers on the spot.

"It's dangerous!"

The two brothers held their weapons tightly, and secretly said in their hearts that they were in danger, and suddenly they saw a commotion in the crowd in front of them, and it turned out that the artillery of the official army fired another volley, and the dense shells passed through the crowd in front, creating dozens of bloody and blurred "alleys".

A cannonball roared from the front, Zhang Ju instantly shouted, pushed his younger brother away, and the cannonball hit Zhang Ju's body directly, instantly smashing it into a ground of minced meat.

Zhang Jun sat on the ground in a daze, watching his brother's corpse turn into minced meat, howling and crying violently, and crawled over directly to collect his brother's body, but was kicked to the ground.

"Grandma's, the army is attacking, what are you crying wolf here!"

Zhang Jun fixed his eyes and saw that it was the flag of the supervising team, so he cried and said, "My brother is dead!" ”

"Death is death, this day is down, I don't know if I want to die

How many tens of thousands of people, dead an elder brother crying a fart! ”

As he spoke, the Zhangqi didn't listen to what Zhang Jun said again, and directly stabbed Zhang Jun to death with a knife, and then said loudly: "Attack!" Whoever delays any longer, this is the end! ”

As soon as the words fell, a cannonball hit directly from diagonally above, and the heads of several rogue soldiers in front of them were swept away, and by the way, they shattered like watermelons.

Then the cannonball smashed on the chest of the flag, directly breaking the man into two sections.

Behind the brigade of dead soldiers, Wu Ruyi, the general of Consequences Yi, led 20,000 firecrackers to move forward in formation, always keeping a distance of less than a mile from the dead army in front.

However, the firepower of Liu Yan's artillery battalion could still pass over the army in front and directly hit the fire on this side.

Wu Ruyi scolded angrily: "Damn it! There are so many heavy artillery on the head of the city, and they can cross the military formation to fight here from such a distance, how many artillery pieces is Liu Yan equipped with! ”

Rumble!

The shell of a red-coated cannon smashed down heavily, directly sending the gunners out of a bloody alley, causing at least a dozen gunners to be killed and wounded.

Wu Ruyi was anxious when he saw this, the advance speed of the army was too slow, and if he continued like this, he would not be able to reach Liu Yan's defense line, and his army of firearms would collapse.

"The whole army is speeding up!"

Wu Ruyi roared loudly: "Order people to go to the front and urge those dead soldiers to rush quickly!" ”

Like Wu Ruyi, at this time, Liu Zongmin also issued an order to speed up the progress, Liu Yanbu's artillery firepower was too fierce, it had far exceeded Liu Zongmin's expectations, and it was even much stronger than the previous Kaifeng battle.

"Order the whole battalion to speed up, no matter what it takes

The price rushed to the front of Liu Yan's defense line and fought to the death! ”

At this time, Liu Zongmin had already issued a death order, the dead soldiers in front were defeated, and the fire gunners in the back acted as the supervising team, the firecrackers were defeated, and the first soldiers in the back acted as the supervising team.

"Tiger Venerable Cannon is always ready!"

On the position of the artillery camp of the new army, Qian Liang looked at the large number of thieves and dead soldiers who had rushed to the front within two hundred steps, and his heart began to be nervous.

Rumble!

In an instant, one hundred and forty-four Tiger Zun guns opened fire at the same time, and then the gunners of the new army artillery battalion nervously reloaded, and soon another volley was fired.

The Huzun cannon is easy to load, the rate of fire is fast, and the use of scattered bullets is all shots, which directly forms a dense barrage in front of the artillery battalion array, and the thieves who rushed to within 200 steps of the dead soldiers were immediately killed and wounded, almost falling to the ground layer by layer, and soon a half-person-high "corpse wall" was piled up in front of the new army artillery battalion!

"Shoot the arrows!"

Liu Zongmin equipped these dead soldiers with some bows and arrows, although they were not used intensively, and those dead soldiers did not have special training, but they couldn't stand the crowd, and soon shot arrows from afar.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion of the new army were caught off guard, and hundreds of people fell, so angry that Qian Qiao scolded him, and at the same time asked the gunners to pay attention to protection, relying on low walls and shields to defend against arrows fired by thieves.

But in this way, the firepower of the artillery battalion of the new army

Inevitably affected, weakened a lot, although the dead soldiers of the thieves were not good, but many of them crawled out of the pile of dead people, at this time realizing that the firepower of the new army artillery battalion was weakened, they shouted loudly and quickened their pace, and the brigade soon rushed into a hundred steps.

At this time, Guo Rong, the general of the left part of the middle battalion who had been guarding Qian Qiao's side, pulled Qian Liang behind him and shouted loudly: "Withdraw to the rear with the soldiers of the artillery battalion, I will take over here!" ”

Qian Qian turned around and ordered the artillery battalion to retreat, and the more than 2,000 soldiers of the artillery battalion retreated one after another, quickly carrying a large number of gunpowder boxes and retreating to the second line of defense.

And Guo Rong commanded more than 3,000 soldiers on the left side of the middle battalion to take over the first line of defense: "Everyone, prepare for a salvo!" ”

The tens of thousands of dead soldiers in the camp of thieves in front had already rushed to within dozens of steps, Guo Rong clenched his hands into fists and roared loudly: "Release!" ”

More than 3,000 soldiers fired a salvo at the same time, and the fierce firepower instantly killed and wounded the thieves in front, at least 2,000 people were shot on the spot, and the dead soldiers behind were also in chaos, and the enemy's impact momentum was instantly contained.

"Earthquake thunder, give it to me!"

After Guo Rong gave the order, hundreds of sword and shield men jumped out of the defense line with dexterity, rushed to the army of thieves in front, and began to throw earth-shattering thunder at close range.

Seeing this, the thieves and dead soldiers also blew up their nests, and most of them began to flee backwards, and of course, many of the dead soldiers rushed up with a roar of rage, or shot arrows to kill.

Rumble!

The sword and shield hands on the left side of the middle camp of the new army threw a large number of earth-shattering thunders, and the thieves exploded one after another, but the hundreds of sword and shield hands were also besieged by the dead soldiers of the thieves

Fang immediately fought hand-to-hand, and hundreds of soldiers couldn't withdraw for a while!

Seeing this, Guo Rong was furious and shouted: "Get on the bayonet!" ”

More than 3,000 soldiers directly got on the bayonet, and then Guo Rong drew the knife in his hand and shouted: "Rush up and overthrow them!" ”

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

Guo Rong led more than 3,000 bird-screws to rush out of the defense line and directly collided with the tens of thousands of dead soldiers of the thieves.

Although those dead soldiers were already in chaos, they couldn't stand the crowd, and they didn't rout for the time being.

"Kill!"

The war knife in Guo Rong's hand slashed left and right, and the surrounding soldiers of the new army were also stabbed in formation, with strict drills and excellent armor, the soldiers of the new army were almost able to fight one enemy ten in the face of those dead soldiers!

The counterattack lasted for a short time, and tens of thousands of thieves began to rout.

Guo Rong panted and scolded: "Damn, I still thought you wouldn't run!" ”

Looking at the dead soldiers of the thieves who retreated like a tide, Guo Rong estimated that in this round of attack, the dead soldiers of the thieves lost at least 30,000 or 40,000 horses.

Of course, the number of people killed and wounded by the artillery battalion bombardment will not be so large, and most of the casualties should be caused by those rounds of Huzun artillery salvos, as well as the salvo of the left soldiers of the middle battalion.

In addition, in this short fight, Guo Rong's soldiers also caused huge casualties to the thieves and soldiers, and almost every soldier on the left killed at least two or three thieves!

"Withdraw! Withdraw the line of defense! ”

If you pick it up cheaply, you will be a fool if you don't leave.

Although the attack of a large number of dead soldiers of the thieves was defeated, the soldiers and horses of the dense camp of thieves behind were still approaching, and Guo Rong was not arrogant enough to think

, with more than 3,000 people on his own, he can defeat it.

More than 3,000 soldiers on the left quickly retreated, but suddenly the roar of firearms sounded in the rear, and the consequences of the thieves in the camp were led by General Wu Ruyi to lead the firecrackers to press up, at this time, they ignored the large number of dead soldiers who were retreating in front, and directly ordered to open fire, although the 20,000 firecrackers had some casualties on the way, but at this time there were still 18,000 or 9,000 people, and the thieves were divided into six rows to take turns firing a salvo, and soon the crowd in front was "cleared" out, and the continuous firepower began to shoot the left officers and men of the middle battalion of the new army who were retreating to the defense line.

At this time, Guo Rong jumped directly into the defensive line, and the sound of being hit by lead bullets suddenly came from the low wall behind him.

"Bastard!"

Guo Rong scolded loudly, and immediately commanded the soldiers to fight back.

"Put!"

At this time, more than 3,000 officers and men of the New Army were also angry in their hearts, and it had never been the New Army that suppressed the enemy with firepower, and the enemy had never been so arrogant.

Immediately, Guo Rong led his troops to shoot at the firearms of Wu Ruyi's general Wu Ruyi, and the thieves were outnumbered, and at a distance of dozens of paces, even if the thieves were equipped with inferior firearms, the number was enough to make up for the disadvantage in firepower.

On Guo Rong's side, the soldiers of the new army relied on the low wall in the defense line, which could effectively block the firepower fired by the thieves.

But even so, Guo Rong was still furious, especially when he saw that the armored soldiers and cavalry army of the thief middle battalion behind him were advancing rapidly, and immediately shouted to the heralds beside him: "Contact the artillery battalion, let the red-clothed cannon on the head of the city."

Be on point and get rid of the thieves' firecrackers! ”
