Chapter 87 Death Battle

At this moment, Liu Yinggui's military law team realized that they and others didn't have to face the terrifying enemy galloping across, so they happily ran to the back of the formation and stood with their knives in their hands.But the others came to their senses, at this time they couldn't run away, they couldn't defend themselves, and they all felt hopeless.

At this time, the officers, soldiers and cavalry were already approaching, and they could basically see the ferocious face and ferocious eyes on the opposite side.At this time, Zhang Shun shouted: "The second group fires!" The gunner was taken aback for a moment, and then subconsciously drew the torch in his hand to the gun door, only to hear the sound of gunpowder igniting, and then it was even more deafening sounded.

Those cavalrymen who were about to rush in front of them immediately turned on their backs, and before everyone could take a closer look, the smoke from all the artillery guns filled their sights.Then, those terrifying enemies rushed out of the smoke.Everyone was shocked, and before they could react, three or four people were cut down.

Everyone was about to escape, but suddenly found that the enemies who rushed in were only a few scattered people.Immediately, Zhang Shun's soldiers returned with courage, and they all rushed forward, chopping and stabbing with spears, knives and axes, and dealt with those desperate cavalrymen.

Only at this time did everyone have the opportunity to observe the battlefield where the gunpowder smoke had dissipated. They saw that the corpses of the ferocious enemy and his horse had been bombarded and scattered all over the battlefield not far in front of them.

More enemies rode their horses, threw away their helmets and armor, and fled in a hurry.Song Tongyin looked at it from a distance, but his canthus was completely cracked, and his teeth were about to be crushed.Zhang Shun actually used the first set of artillery to deceive governor Song Tongyin, making him think that the "thieves" had run out of artillery.The deceitful cavalry approached and fired shotguns, and the officers, soldiers and cavalry who only fought suffered heavy losses. It is roughly estimated that fifty or sixty cavalry have been lost.

Of course, it is not impossible for the government's cavalry to break through Zhang Shun's formation at this level. As long as Zhang Shun's artillery is exhausted, they can complete the task without fear of life and death.However, facing such tragic casualties, they had lost all their courage, and some of them still had courage were the cavalrymen who rushed into the formation just now and were beaten to death by Zhang Shun's subordinates.

In fact, the battle has progressed to this point, and Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi, is already on the verge of riding a tiger.He broke his promise repeatedly, and finally seized the opportunity, but was still escaped by the enemy. He was really not reconciled.He clearly knew that once these "thieves" ran out, they would retaliate wildly against him, and there was no room for relaxation, and he might lose his official status.

Thinking of this, Song Tongyin became ruthless, and immediately ordered a thousand infantrymen to attack Zhang Shun while Zhang Shun's second group of artillery was not firing.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun quickly ordered Wei Congyi, Zhang Sanbai and Xiao Qinhu to lead a team to resist.It turned out that just now Zhang Shun divided the artillery in his hands into three groups: the first group had five tiger crouching guns of two calibers each, the second group had seven tiger crouching guns of two two calibers each, and the third group had two tiger crouching guns of two calibers each. Six doors, bombarded in turn.

As a result, during the second group of shots, most of the gunners fired under tense conditions.Zhang Shun took stock, only three cannons in his hand were not firing.Zhang Shun himself guessed that these three doors belonged to the gunner, who was so frightened that he forgot to shoot.

Zhang Shun ordered Wei Congyi to be in the center, Zhang Sanbai to be on the left, and Xiao Qinhu to be on the right, lined up to fight with the officers and soldiers.The bullock carts carried artillery on the left and right sides to defend the officers, soldiers and cavalry.Although the cannons had run out of shells, the officers and soldiers had just been frightened and did not dare to come to harass them.

A thousand households sent by Song Tongyin knew that they had no chance of winning, but they also had the will to die.He personally led the team to attack Zhang Shun's troops.Most of Zhang Shun's subordinates are spearmen, except for cotton armor, they have no protection at all.When the officers and soldiers reached thirty or forty paces, they started shooting one after another.

Zhang Shun's subordinates had no other long-range weapons in their hands, so they could only be beaten passively.Zhang Shun had no choice but to order his soldiers to take the initiative to attack.Seeing this, the thousand households were overjoyed, and felt that Zhang Shun's combat strength was no more than that, so they also ordered to attack.

When the two sides were about to approach, only a cannon shot was heard, and the formation of thousands of households was torn into three holes.It turned out that Zhang Shun had already ordered people to hide the remaining three cannons in the formation, so that people could carry them forward.When the two sides approached, they directly bombarded with large doses of shotgun, which caught the opponent by surprise.

Wei Congyi, Zhang Sanbai, and Xiao Qinhu took the opportunity to cover up and defeat the thousand households.The thousand households were furious, and while trying to restrain the soldiers, they ordered their personal guards to attack with them.Unexpectedly, Xiao Qinhu, who was on the right wing, saw him from a distance. He pulled up his bow and shot down the brave Qianhu with just one arrow.

The guards on the left and right saw that thousands of households were lost, and they couldn't help shouting, shouting so that everyone knew it.Immediately, the soldiers lost all fighting spirit and dispersed in a hurry.Zhang Shun was about to order the three generals to take advantage of the opportunity to hide and kill, and use the enemy's rout to charge into the formation, but he saw that Song Tongyin had ordered [-] or [-] cavalry to sweep the formation to the left and right, and seemed to have the intention of charging.Zhang Shun didn't dare to let his infantry leave the protection of the bullock cart artillery, so he ordered to retreat.

As a result, the battlefield became quiet for a while.Zhang Shun took the opportunity to come down to cool down the cannon, cleaned up the gunpowder residue in the barrel, and reloaded the cannon.Since he didn't know what kind of tactics the enemy would use this time, Zhang Shun followed the Ming army's habit and adopted the "Gongling Sun" loading method.

The so-called "Gonglingsun" means that after the gunpowder is loaded, the shotgun is first loaded, and then a live ammunition is loaded to compact the muzzle.In this way, it can adapt to most battlefield situations, and there is no need to replace live ammunition or shotguns due to changes in enemy conditions.

Song Tongyin actually had a headache at this time, because the incident happened suddenly, and in order to prevent nights and dreams, he was not prepared enough, and he did not carry heavy artillery such as the Hongyi cannon, medium-sized artillery such as the Frang machine and the imitation Western cannon, so that Zhang Shun was rampant for a while.

However, he knew very well that Zhang Daojun must be doing both ways in the west, following the "thieves". As long as he delays for a while, he will definitely surround the "thieves" and wipe them out.Of course, Song Tongyin knew about this, and so did Zhang Shun and others.Zhang Shun delayed for a while, just to reload the cannon, why would he continue to wait?

After waiting for a moment, Zhang Shun ordered the chariot formation to move forward, pressing Song Tongyin's formation forward.Song Tongyin saw the enemy's situation, but he understood that he had to fight this battle.If he retreated a little, he would release the other "thieves" in the valley, just in time for them to rush out from behind Zhang Shun's chariot formation and break through Song Tongyin's face-to-face formation reasonably.

This time, neither side has too many tricks to play, and they can only decide the outcome by doing a real fight.
