Chapter 649 Coordinated Operations
Li Shi'an learned from the experience of the large-scale use of artillery last time, and this time he still divided the artillery in his hands into three rows and fired one by one.

In view of the shielding effect of the officers and soldiers' shield vehicles, this time Li Shi'an asked the gunner to choose solid iron bullets for shooting.

The distance between the two sides is only eighty steps, which is almost equivalent to the artillery hitting the opponent's face for shooting.The gunners of the rebel army took aim and fired a salvo at the shield vehicles of the officers and soldiers in front of them.

More than [-] iron balls flew towards the officers and soldiers densely like wasps that had been stabbed in their nests.Seven or eight shield vehicles were destroyed on the spot, and some even injured people during the bounce, directly smashing four or five officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers were not afraid, and after the rebel artillery fired, they quickly launched the extermination cannons, Francophones and bird guns to fight back.

It's just that the officers and soldiers never expected that the second wave of shooting from the rebel army would come immediately.This time, the gunners who were exposed to the artillery of the rebels were much more miserable. Several groups of troops were pierced by the artillery shells of the rebels.About [-] people died on the spot, and [-] to [-] people were seriously injured, lying on the ground and crying.There were even two gun mounts that were broken up on the spot and could not be used again.

Of course, at the same time, the rebel army was also hit by some artillery from the officers and soldiers. Seven or eight people were shot through by the extermination artillery on the spot and died on the spot.

The officers and soldiers suffered from this wave of blows, and immediately retreated behind the shield car, not daring to show their heads easily.The artillery of the rebel army rested for a while, and then the third round of attack came again, only suppressing the officers and soldiers so that they couldn't lift their heads.

After finally waiting for a while, but there was no movement, the officers and soldiers behind the shield car stretched out their heads timidly to check the situation of the rebel army.

Unexpectedly, the artillery above the city had been reloaded, and the fourth wave of attack came again.The officers and soldiers were shocked and hid behind the safe shield car again.

Just when the officers and soldiers thought that the two sides would be deadlocked forever, they never thought that there would be a sudden sound of horseshoes.

The officers and soldiers behind the shield car subconsciously looked to the left, and saw a group of cavalry galloping forward wielding broadswords, wild goose swords, long spears, and three-eyed guns.

It turned out that when Li Shi'an's artillery was released repeatedly, Zhang Shun ordered Wei Congyi to lead [-] elite cavalry to detour from the right side to the left side of the officer's shield chariot.When the fourth round of artillery firing was over, the rebel cavalry galloped towards the officers and soldiers hiding behind the shield car.

In order to deal with the artillery of the rebel army, Hong Chengchou selected elites, and each shield car was equipped with ten elites, all wearing helmets and armor.Among them, the weapons are equipped with two blunderbusses, two Francophones, and one gun for destroying captives.The rest of the soldiers were all armed with knives, guns, bows and arrows, ready for hand-to-hand combat at any time.

When the officers and soldiers behind the shield car discovered that Wei Congyi's cavalry was attacking from the side, they quickly turned their blunderbuss and franglers to shoot.

It's just that due to the chaos and lack of unified command, the shooting effect was not very good, only more than ten rebels were shot down.

As for the more powerful extermination cannon, it is difficult to turn and shoot in time because it is heavier.Even if someone turns around desperately occasionally, they don't care about changing to the shotgun. They can only fire a solid bullet, which is better than nothing.

With the sound of gunfire from the officers and soldiers, Wei Congyi led all the cavalry to rush into the shield chariot first, stabbing left and right, and repeatedly chopped down dozens of officers and soldiers.

Although these thousands of officers and soldiers are elite, but two of them are armed with blunderbusses, two of them are armed with Franglers, and three are in charge of destroying captive cannons. There are only three or four of them actually wielding knives and guns in hand-to-hand combat.

Coupled with the barriers of the shield vehicles, the officers and soldiers were unable to form formations in time to defend against the enemy. Where is the opponent to charge up the cavalry?There was a burst of howling and howling, and they had to fight desperately with their backs against the shield chariot.

That Wei Congyi was good at martial arts, with a lance that was eight feet long, whistling, there was no match for him wherever he went.He killed four or five people with his own hands, and couldn't help shouting: "Happy!"

This group of officers and soldiers was also unlucky, since the last time Li Shi'an's cannon showed its power, Zhang Shun and Li Shi'an had repeatedly thought about how to maximize the lethality of the cannon.

After many experiments, Zhang Shun, who has a way of thinking of later generations, really came up with an idea of ​​"cooperating with cannons".

The specific tactics are to divide the artillery in the hands of the rebels into groups and fire them one by one to suppress the enemy's firepower.Then let the rebels take advantage of the speed of the cavalry to quickly approach the enemy, and rush in at the end of the last wave of artillery fire, just to tear apart the rioting enemies who were hit by the rebel artillery.

The new tactics met the new tactics, and the rebel army was superior in skills. Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, looked at him from a distance, and couldn't help but groan.

He quickly ordered: "Quickly order the deputy commander Ai Wannian to lead more than a thousand cavalry to rescue, and I must rescue these more than a thousand elites!"

Each shield chariot of the officers and soldiers is equipped with ten carts for combat. There are a total of one thousand elites in these one hundred chariots.If he, Hong Chengchou, just sit back and watch these more than a thousand elites be slaughtered, not to mention the wounded officers and soldiers, but the morale is seriously injured, it will be enough to determine the outcome of this battle.

When Zhang Shun saw Ai Wannian's cavalry galloping from a distance, he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing. While ordering Wei Congyi to retreat in time, he ordered Li Shi'an's artillery to get ready.

It is said that Ai Wannian, the deputy commander-in-chief, once again led more than a thousand cavalry, galloping forward.Seeing Wei Congyi fleeing in a hurry with [-] cavalry from a distance, he couldn't help but said with great joy: "Since ancient times, cavalry soldiers have not been allowed to show their backs to others. Today's thieves don't know the art of war and want to escape in a hurry. It's up to us to make such a great contribution. Everyone, follow me to kill." The enemy, beheading the head of the thief will return it!"

Immediately, the officers and soldiers galloped on their horses, trying to attack Wei Congyi's cavalry behind them.The two sides reached more than [-] steps, only to hear a burst of cannon fire, and suddenly more than [-] shells hit their heads and faces, and the officers and soldiers immediately turned their backs.

Ai Wannian was chasing after him vigorously, when he suddenly saw several shadows flashing past, and then there were screams and wailing sounds.

Ai Wannian turned his head and saw that dozens of people and horses on the left and right were torn apart and shattered into several pieces. The bloody meat paste, liver, and intestines were sticky together, almost disgusting.

The officers and soldiers were in a mess all of a sudden, and they were too frightened to continue fighting.Ai Wannian, the deputy commander, immediately shouted: "Don't mess up, it's just a few shells, how many people can be hit?"

Just as Ai Wannian was shouting, another rush of horseshoes sounded.When Ai Wannian looked up, his face turned pale with shock. Wei Congyi, who had previously retreated, led his cavalry to kill the general.

Originally, the officers, soldiers and cavalry outnumbered the rebel army, and the two armies were facing each other, so why was he afraid of Ai Wannian?It's just that the officers and soldiers are in a mess now, and they have lost their formation and speed. Where is Wei Congyi's opponent?

After several fights, Wei Congyi was already drenched in blood, like a ghost crawling out of hell.He waved the iron spear in his hand, just like Kai Wushuang in the game of later generations, only beating the officers and soldiers to the ground.

When Ai Wannian saw that something was wrong, Wei Congyi actually came to fight him, and he couldn't help but his liver and gallbladder were torn.He quickly turned his horse's head, shouted "Retreat!" and ran away.
