Chapter 196 Border Army (7)

The words were divided into two parts. Here, Zhang Shun and the 500 cavalry who broke out of the siege were infighting and entangled endlessly. Over there, the rebel army had surrounded more than 1,500 cavalry in the valley.

These officers and soldiers were not just waiting to be killed. They saw rebels all around. This group of officers and soldiers immediately made a decision. Most of the cavalry dismounted and became infantry, using the terrain to establish formations and wait for reinforcements.

It turns out that the Yulin border troops have been fighting against the Taoists all year round, and are often surrounded by Mongolian cavalry. They just treat it as a common occurrence and are not very afraid.

They knew that there were more than a thousand elite infantry behind them, and they only had to hold on for a moment. Once the reinforcements arrived, the bandits would be arrogant for a long time!

Although they are cavalry, they are not unable to fight on foot. They carried weapons such as horse-drawn guns and firecrackers along with their war horses, and they could also fight in formation below.

Sure enough, among the rebels, most of the infantry were just a bunch of people who were useless and could not bear to fight hard. Under the urging of the "Purple Golden Liang", the infantry charged several times but could not break through the frontier army's line.

These frontier troops formed an oval formation in the valley, with armored elites on the outside, and archers, Frenchmen, and musketeers hidden inside. When the rebels appeared, archers and musketeers first emerged from the inner formation and launched a series of long-range strikes.

When the rebels took another step forward, the archers and gunmen retreated into the formation, and Fran's pilots took the opportunity to come out and fire continuously at the rebels with intensive firepower. It wasn't until the rebels were five or six steps closer that the armored infantry quickly stepped forward to withstand the rebel attack, and Fran's pilots were able to take the opportunity to retreat.

This horse-drawing flange machine is a small flange machine, weighing no more than ten kilograms. It is between two feet and two feet and three inches long, and its caliber is less than one inch. Whenever there was a battle, he would be removed from the horse and supported by an iron bracket. He would use the musket to rotate back and forth to speed up the frequency of shooting shotguns, which would provide rapid firepower.

The rebels surrounded the officers and soldiers too hastily. The artillery in their hands did not reach their subordinates, and they were unable to break through the enemy's formation for a while.

Since the "Purple Golden Liang" fought with officers and soldiers, they have only seen Cao Wenzhao and Ai Wannian of this level. They were defeated without defeat, and were surrounded without surrender. Even under such extreme circumstances, it is unbelievable that the rebels were still unable to attack.

Not to mention that the attack on the "Purple Golden Liang" side was frustrated, the retreat of the officers and soldiers was blocked by Xing Honglang and Liu Cheng, Zhang Sanbai, Wei Congyi and other troops. These besieged officers and soldiers fought hard and defended obediently on the "Purple Golden Liang" side.

When they arrived, the officers and soldiers deceived them because they had fewer soldiers and weaker combat effectiveness. Instead of surrendering, they actually launched multiple attacks in an attempt to open a gap again so that they could escape.

Despite the large number of people under Xing Honglang, they were all cheering men. In terms of fighting skills, not only could they not compare with Liu Cheng's cavalry, they could not even compare with Zhang Shun's infantry.

The five hundred or so cavalrymen who had opened the gap before and escaped were the gap opened from them.

It turns out that the rebels crossed the river from Shaanxi to Shanxi, and encountered numerous officers and soldiers who chased and killed them. All elite warriors who can fight are basically cavalry. As for the infantry, most of them were local soldiers newly recruited, coerced and taken refuge in Shanxi.

These people are not like the cavalry who escaped all the way. After being tempered by blood and fire, they are somewhat bloody. These people were the victims of the disaster who could not survive. They joined the rebel army just to get food, and they were not determined to fight for their lives. In addition, many rebel leaders have some experience in using troops, but they know nothing about training troops.

It is rare for someone like Huang Hu to instill simple military tactics such as "Water Margin of Loyalty" into his generals, but someone like Zhang Shun frequently explains military tactics such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Wei Liao Zi" to his subordinates, and even talks to his subordinates from time to time. The organization and training of the soldiers under his command is unique and unique!

Therefore, Xing Honglang's side did not do enough, and Zhang Shun's subordinates suddenly became more stressed. When they meet on a narrow road, the brave will win, and Zhang Sanbai and Wei Congyi have no other choice. Fortunately, both of them were ruthless, and they gritted their teeth and led their men to fight forward.

One of the two people has brute strength, and the other has good martial arts skills. He can break the edge and break the blade to defeat the enemy when his momentum is at its peak. Several desperate charges by the officers and soldiers were repelled alive, and Zhang Sanbai and Wei Congyi were covered in blood.

As for whether they were injured, he had already ignored it and felt nothing.

Liu Cheng was reluctant to let his precious cavalry get entangled in hand-to-hand combat with the opponent, so he had to retreat. Taking advantage of the fact that the cavalry was higher than the infantry, he divided the cavalry into seven groups and took turns firing arrows and muskets to suppress the charge of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side.

Fortunately, at this time, Li Shian under Zhang Shun rushed over. The large artillery he leads is still being transported slowly, but he has more than 30 Feimeng artillerymen who surrendered twice, as well as several bowl-mouth blunderbuss, poisonous fire flying cannons, mother-and-son cannons, and thunderbolts. Various small and medium sized mortars.

Seeing that the rebels were in an urgent situation, Li Shi'an ordered the missiles to be fired at the enemy's front without even caring whether Li Jiyu and Jiang He had completed their formations and whether they could protect the safety of himself and others.

At this time, the enemy saw that Liu Cheng was using the advantage of the cavalry to suppress him, so he also ordered hundreds of people to mount war horses and also used the height advantage to fight back against Liu Cheng. The distance between the two sides was not too far to begin with, and the shooting was static, so the battle suddenly became fierce.

The two sides shot at each other like fools, and then a large number of cavalry were shot down by the other side and lost their lives. Seeing this, Liu Cheng's eyes were completely split. He had so many elite cavalrymen under his command that they could not use their skills, so they died cheaply. It was an unforgivable crime!

But Liu Cheng had no choice but to order to fight to the end, otherwise he would be suppressed by the opponent. Once the enemy breaks through, the rebel army will be completely wiped out.

Fortunately, Li Shian's artillery sounded at this time. Although these explosive shells with explosive effects were not very lethal, they had an incredible effect on disturbing the horses and disrupting the cavalry formation.

After the opponent's cavalry had eaten this meal of explosive bombs, their formation was suddenly in chaos. Some horses were even frightened and rushed over regardless of the direction or formation of the enemy or ours.

The cavalry that rushed towards the rebels were immediately killed on the spot, while the cavalry that rushed towards the formation of officers and soldiers caught the officers and soldiers off guard, and the formation suddenly became chaotic.

Liu Cheng, Jiang He and Li Ji were overjoyed to see the situation and quickly launched a charge towards the officers and soldiers. They took advantage of the chaos and killed many officers and soldiers, and also captured dozens of horses before retreating. As expected, this group of officers and soldiers was tenacious. Although they were seized by the rebels, they still reorganized their formation in time and repelled the advancing rebels.

At this time, the officers and soldiers saw the fierceness of the rebel artillery and immediately came up with a solution. Hidden some small Franchise aircraft among the team to fight back. Immediately, many rebels were killed, and the two sides reached a stalemate again. For a while, the two sides were evenly matched.
