Chapter 410: Preparation Before the Rain (Subscription Requested)

Pang Ban originally thought that the material of this gun in his hand was extraordinary, and he would definitely be able to gain the upper hand when he encountered a little-known long sword with a bright and bright wind, but he didn't expect that when he collided just now, although the shocking spear was not obviously damaged, but there were very slight cracks at the intersection with the sword, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and he couldn't understand how the ancestral treasure gun in his hand was not as good as the other party's obviously newly made long sword.

If Li Xian heard Pang Ban's heartfelt words, he would definitely complain, thinking that the ancestral gun hundreds of years ago would be stronger than the tungsten gold steel sword built with the most advanced modern smelting method.

Said that it was too late and that was fast, Pang Ban instantly exchanged fifty or sixty moves with Feng Mingyang with the shocking spear, I thought that at least I could draw it, but I didn't expect Feng Mingyang to always be a stronger and stronger character, at this time, he was interested, and used a four-meter long sword to actually use all kinds of exquisite tricks of Huashan swordsmanship, but Pang Ban is usually good at using his palm, and he does not dabble in marksmanship, and he is gradually at a disadvantage.

However, Feng Mingyang's big killing weapon was blocked by Pang Ban, and the other Qing court masters were all fighting spiritually, and several innate masters and fourth-order great masters took action one after another, fighting with the masters on Li Xian's side.

In all fairness, the number and quality of the masters of the Inhuman Hall are very good, and Li Xian brought a lot of masters of various levels this time, but in a hurry, he only tied with others, and no one could help anyone in a short time.

If it was an ordinary martial arts battle, it would have to be fought all the way at this time, but unfortunately this is now a battlefield, and it is also a battlefield where a large number of musketeers and grenadiers on Li Xian's side are eyeing each other.

The martial arts masters fought in front of the battle, fighting between the infantry of the Huaxia Army and the cavalry of the Qing Army, which hindered the charge of the Qing cavalry and gave the Huaxia Army musketeers the opportunity to shoot.

Taking advantage of this precious opportunity, the musketeers quickly picked up their rifles and fired, and the grenadiers even took the opportunity to throw grenades, inflicting huge casualties on the Qing cavalry and the Qing court masters who were fighting in close combat.

As for the halberds of the special combat team, although they endured more than eighty percent of the cavalry's attacks, they relied on their strong physical strength and martial arts to maintain the position, and also cooperated with the sword and shield soldiers to quickly harvest the casualties of the Qing cavalry.

Hai Dagui's side also continued to fire cannonballs across the river, eliminating a lot of cavalry on the edge of the battlefield.

I don't know how long I fought, but a long howl from the Bull Demon God in the distance came, and the fighting spirit of the Qing cavalry was almost worn out at this time.

This time, the Qing cavalry suffered many more casualties than the previous one, reaching more than 3,000 people, nearly half, but the results were even worse than the last time, in the final analysis, the Huaxia army adapted to the Qing army's fighting style more quickly.

"Wan Sheng!" The soldiers couldn't help but raise their arms and cheer when they saw the Qing army retreating.

Li Xian didn't have the slightest joy in his heart, because at this time the sky had darkened, the dark clouds were lower, and there were even more small rains falling on his face and clothes.

The arrangement of the Inhuman Hall began to take effect, and it was about to start raining that day.

Five hot air balloons flew over from Hai Dagui's camp and landed on the ground on the riverbank here, and the soldiers above hurriedly unloaded the supplies sent by Hai Dagui while the heavy rain had not yet begun to fall.

What was sent here was not military supplies such as bullets or grenades, but a large number of cardboard boxes, which were opened and saw that there were all kinds of elixirs inside, including Jingyuan Dan and Buyuan Dan and other elixirs for monks.

These elixirs are a necessity for the cultivation of martial artists, and ordinary people can also quickly replenish their physical strength and suppress injuries after taking them.

Li Xian's side immediately distributed the pills, whether it was a martial artist or an ordinary soldier, they all took it as needed.

The price of this elixir is very expensive, even if it is a small number of inner disciples of the ordinary famous sects, but the Mixed Yuan Sect and the Sanyuan Guan have strong firepower, and they have the ability to maintain the elixir supply of tens of thousands of warriors in their own combat sequence, and even have the spare to distribute it as a wound medicine to ordinary soldiers.

In short, the Huaxia Army is now an immortal army in the era of the steam engine, and the military materials and cultivation resources that can be taken out are very huge, compared to the Central Plains sect that is still in the feudal era, its generosity cannot be calculated.

"We don't have so many people here, I can carry it here, you better cross the river and go back first."

The Qing army will definitely attack there in a while, and you will also need to command the battle over there. Zuo Shaoqing found a gap and came to Li Xian's side, and said expressionlessly.

Li Xian glanced at him carefully and couldn't help laughing.

"My duty now is to withstand the Qing army's attack here, not to swim back to the other side like a deserter.

Don't worry, the Qing court is just this little bit of a three-plate axe, there is nothing new, and we can't help it. ”

"However, if you go back and organize people to build bridges and take over the people here, that's the right thing. Zuo Shaoqing said disapprerovingly, he still felt that it would be better to send Li Xian away first.

"We have to concentrate on fighting the war here, who has the time to think about building bridges.

That's Hai Dagui's thing, it depends on how Hai Dagui rebuilds the bridge and takes us back. Li Xian shook his head and said irresponsibly.

When Li Xian and the others were fighting to the death with the second wave of cavalry, Hai Dagui commanded the battle on the other side of the river, and he was calm on the surface, but secretly he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Both the scouts sent earlier and the air force on the hot air balloon corps reported that a large number of Qing troops had appeared several kilometers away, and from the current observations, it should be more than 50,000 white-armored soldiers, and they should not be underestimated.

If it were normal, no matter how many corpses there were, it would be the artillerymen's share, but now it is going to rain heavily, which is another matter.

A few years ago in Guangdong, when the British army attacked Guangzhou, when the British army attacked Sanyuanli for the first time, it encountered a sudden heavy rain, and the muskets and artillery could not be fired, and they were almost annihilated by the peasants with hoes and iron picks.

At the industrial level of this era, the combat effectiveness of an army using gunpowder weapons will definitely be greatly reduced when it encounters heavy rain.

Hai Dagui couldn't think about it, so he could only issue one order after another, asking his soldiers to do a good job of preventing rain in accordance with military regulations, and at the same time prepare for fighting in rainy days.

Under his orders, the soldiers covered gunpowder and artillery with tarps, and even built improvised canopies so that infantry and artillery could shelter from the rain and shoot.

Hai Dagui regretted a little in his heart, if he had known that this kind of moth would appear, and he had built the defense facilities since yesterday, he would not have been in a hurry at this time.
