However, the development of the battle situation obviously exceeded Wu Xiang's expectations.

The approximately five hundred Datong cavalrymen suddenly dismounted from their horses. Then they saw a burst of gunpowder smoke coming from the other side. The bandit cavalrymen who were charging across the road suddenly fell on their backs. It was only then that the sound of "bang bang bang" came over.

"Sire, our army has used a three-eyed bludgeon, and the thieves can't handle it!" A general explained immediately beside Wu Xiang.

Sure enough, the bandit cavalry suddenly became a mess. No bandit under that banner dared to charge again. They all turned their horses to try to distance themselves from the official army, or they turned a corner and ran back.

When the five hundred officers and soldiers saw it, they immediately followed on horseback and charged. When Wu Xiang saw it, he laughed happily. In the opposite army, Wang Jiayin was so angry that he cursed. If he had just gritted his teeth and charged forward at the opportunity just now, the five hundred officers and soldiers would have been completely annihilated!

With a gloomy expression on his face, he quickly issued another order from the alliance leader, asking other leaders to attack. The cavalry must not be allowed to attack the unassembled infantry.

"The firearms of the army are too powerful and cannot be stopped!" The sweeping king fled back in a hurry and threw these words to Wang Jiayin.

Ma Huihui followed behind and cursed: "The firearms of the army are three-bladed axes. Why are you running away? You will make all my men run away with you!"

When the Sweeping King heard this, he turned around and cursed: "Don't think I don't know. What do you mean by hiding behind me when I charge?"

"I didn't do it on purpose. Those men of mine lured the officers and soldiers over, and the troops and horses were all exhausted..." Ma Huihui responded immediately.

"..."

Two other leaders had also returned at this time, and joined in the war of words. They accused others of either hiding behind when charging, or running away when they heard the sound of firecrackers, or they said that their men suffered heavy casualties and cried miserably!

Wang Jiayin was upset, but couldn't deal with it. They called you Brother Leader to give you face. If you dare to mess around, I will rebel on the spot to show you whether you believe it or not.

He simply pretended not to hear and turned to look at the infantry again. It turned out that the infantry was still in a chaotic mess. You bumped into me and I pushed you. It took a long time before the formation was completed. This made him want to vomit blood. What kind of pig teammate he was!

At this time, the two cavalry armies met in the distance. More than 1,500 cavalry were unable to stop the 500 officers and soldiers. The exchange ratio of dismounted horses between the two sides actually reached about five to one;

After the five hundred officers and soldiers penetrated the bandits' cavalry, they continued to charge towards the bandits' main formation without stopping at all. The bandit cavalry were in chaos again. Some circled in circles, some turned a corner, trying to chase the five hundred cavalry from behind, and some charged towards the official army's main formation. They felt something was wrong and turned back. Looking at his accomplices, he found that only his unit was charging, so he stopped and turned back.

"Sir, this is a good opportunity, the general should also charge at him!" A general immediately asked for orders.

Wu Xiang was relieved at this time. Although there were many thieves, there was really nothing to worry about, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

As a result, another five hundred officers and soldiers left the formation and launched a charge.

When the thieves caught between the two officers and soldiers saw each other, they each reacted differently. So, amidst the "bang bang bang" sound of the three-eyed gun, the scene of the previous round was repeated.

Wang Jiayin saw that the infantry was still not assembled, and the cavalry of the official army was about to rush in. The formation was about to be in chaos, so he had no choice but to send a signal and let the Shenyuan Division be dispatched.

Originally, his intention was to save this trump card for last and make a thunderous strike after consuming the energy of the officers and soldiers, but now he couldn't care less and just wanted to block the officers and soldiers first.

Most of Shen Yiyuan's troops are frontier troops. Unlike other leaders, his subordinates are a mixture of soldiers and civilians, and their combat effectiveness is low. After seeing the alliance leader's order, they immediately rushed out diagonally and finally intercepted the more than 400 officers and soldiers who rushed in first.

But before the winner could be decided here, the second wave of official cavalry came over again. Shen Yiyuan's troops suddenly panicked and seemed to want to give up the war.

Wang Jiayin was too angry to say anything, and quickly shouted to other troops to charge together to intercept the second wave of cavalry. Otherwise, if Shen Yiyuan's troops were defeated, the formation would also be defeated.

When Wu Xiang saw the battle situation there, his formation stopped resting and immediately sent out another 500 cavalry troops to attack. He stroked his long beard and looked at the battlefield with a smile. The most annoying thing for the stray thief is to keep running away. Looking at this formation, it seems that he wants to ambush himself. Haha, just in time, he and the stray thief will fight here, and he saves himself from chasing after the stray thief and constantly running away, causing his own injuries. The skin on my legs is almost worn out.

There shouldn't be much distance from Dai County here. After defeating the main force of the bandits, Dai County was relieved of siege in one fell swoop. In this way, the greatest contribution to the rescue of Dai County and the encirclement and suppression of the bandits was made by his department. So many thieves were determined in one battle, haha, this contribution is definitely not small.

However, just as Wu Xiang was dreaming, the battle situation no longer appeared one-sided. Either the bandits knew they could not be defeated again, or Wang Jiayin personally went into battle to boost morale, and finally achieved a draw with the army.

"Sir, it's our turn to attack. We will definitely give the bandits the final blow!" the general beside him immediately reported.

When Wu Xiang heard this, he looked at the afterglow of the setting sun, and then looked at the densely packed bandits on the battlefield, fearing that there were tens of thousands of people, but he suddenly hesitated in his heart. What if I rush forward again and get into a hard fight again?

"Sir, give the order!" The general became a little anxious and quickly asked for orders again, "Our army has been pursuing the bandits without rest. It is not good for a long battle, so we must fight quickly and decisively!"

Wu Xiang was still a little hesitant. He looked at the battlefield again and said, "Ming Jin withdraws his troops and fights again tomorrow!"

When the general heard this, he wanted to say something else, but thinking about Wu Xiang's character, he finally gave up the persuasion.

In fact, at this time, the officers and soldiers on the battlefield saw that there was still no movement from the rear, and they were already gathering to break out. As soon as the golden sound sounded, the breakout movement immediately became faster.

Another cavalry force rushed out from the official army's main formation, covering the cavalry troops on the battlefield to leave the battlefield and return to their main formation. Some of the thieves wanted to pursue, but some had no intention of pursuing at all. After being bombarded by the three-eyed blunderbuss, they all returned to their respective teams and went to find their own mothers.

The setting sun sets, leaving only the afterglow. Wu Xiang's face looked a little ugly. The more than a thousand cavalry sent out had more than 300 casualties. This was thanks to the well-equipped officers and soldiers, otherwise there would have been more casualties. However, his generals were fine and encouraged him one after another.

"Sir, the bandits have killed and injured at least 3,000 people. They cannot hold on."

"Yes, Sir, there are just these bandits. If I hadn't been chasing them all day and lost my strength, I would have defeated these bandits."

"Sir, these bandits don't know how to fight at all. When we avoid the border troops among the bandits tomorrow, we will catch those bandits who don't know how to fight and attack them fiercely. We will definitely defeat them!"

"..."
