Please ask me to be the emperor

The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded again, but the "Leather Eyes" cavalry had been waiting for a long time.

Although the eyes of "Grey Eyes" are a little short-sighted, at least the cavalry under his command can still detect the movements of the officers and soldiers. When Deng Qi mobilized the cavalry, "Ge Liyan" had already realized that the officers and soldiers were going to reorganize the cavalry and take some actions.

Among the rebels, other commanders did not have cavalry under their command. It's just that these people are not Zhang Shun's direct descendants. He has already mobilized the artillery of the generals. If he further mobilizes the cavalry under the generals, I am afraid these people will have doubts in their hearts.

Now is the time for a battle. If they can't reassure them, maybe they will cause some trouble.

"Grey Eyes" was originally a fierce general, and he was quite impatient when he was originally serving as a scout. Now seeing officers, soldiers and cavalry going into battle is exactly what we want.

"Ge Liyan" has a more straightforward temperament and is not as smooth as "Zuo Jinwang". Seeing the officers, soldiers and cavalry coming out of battle, they turned their horses and followed them.

Deng Qi saw it from a distance and almost vomited blood. It was difficult for him to get these four hundred elite cavalry, but before he could make a contribution, he lost the opportunity to raid the rebel artillery position.

Deng Qi, like Zhang Shun, also encountered the problem of his generals not working hard and unwilling to fight to the death. If these four hundred elite cavalry were led by Deng Qi, he would definitely fight to the death to defeat the "Ge Liyan" cavalry.

However, as the coach, he can only sit in the main tent of the Chinese army and cannot visit the front line in person.

Since there was nothing he could do, Deng Qi was decisive. After all, they were passively beaten and constantly bombarded by the rebel artillery. No matter how elite the officers and soldiers were, it was inevitable that their morale would drop drastically, or even collapse. He immediately gave orders, beat drums to promote the battle, mobilized the large formation and began to move forward.

The two sides marched towards each other with firm steps to the beat of their own drums. Although their steps were not as neat as those of later generations, and the sound of landing was not as crisp, the huge footsteps also put a lot of pressure on people.

The two sides were getting closer and closer, the muskets in their hands began to aim, the bows and arrows in their hands began to open, and the spears in their hands began to level.

The two sides were a hundred steps apart, and countless arrows and projectiles began to fly out, sweeping into the opponent's formation like raindrops.

Some unlucky guys were not seriously injured or even died, and screams rang out from their respective formations. However, it is like a small wave in the waves, it rises once and then disappears.

Because the shooting distance is too long, long-range strikes will not cause heavy casualties to both sides. The two sides continued to get closer, and when they were about fifty steps away, the second wave of attacks came again.

This time, the officers and soldiers used artillery instead. These so-called cannons are actually small-caliber artillery such as the Tiger Crouching Cannon, the Franchise, the Three Generals, and the Anti-Japanese Cannon. Some of them fired large pellets with shotgun shells, and some fired shells as big as goose eggs with live ammunition. .

The rebels also had some artillery such as small Franchise machines and Three Generals, as well as bows and arrows, but in the end they were not as powerful as the artillery of the officers and soldiers. Suddenly, the rebels suffered relatively heavy casualties and suffered a big loss.

The "Eight Great Kings", "Living Cao Cao" and the "King of Troubled Times" were all distressed when they saw this. The bad-tempered "Eight Great Kings" and "King of Troubled Times" all began to curse Zhang Shun, "It doesn't hurt for you to betray me."

Zhang Shun had a clear view from a high place. He could see from a distance that there were far more fallen rebel soldiers than officers and soldiers. He quickly ordered the entire army to charge and engage in battle.

The "dong dong" sound of the war drum became more urgent, and Wukong waved the fierce battle flag with all his strength. The "Eight Great Kings", "Living Cao Cao" and "The King of Troubled Times" in the first row of the formation had already understood this, so they could only grit their teeth and urge the soldiers to move forward quickly.

Once the three battalions in front of the rebel army started running, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the sound echoed throughout the sky. The officers and soldiers, who were already hesitant, looked at each other in disbelief, and seemed to be afraid of the battle.

Deng Qi was originally an infantry officer, and when he saw this situation, he was confused. Regarding morale and things, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. Now that the rebel army is so powerful, the morale of the officers and soldiers has naturally plummeted.

Deng Qi quickly stood up, roughly grabbed the drum hammer from the drummer's hand, and started beating the drum himself to boost morale.

Of course, in fact, all the soldiers were facing the enemy, and they could not see who was beating the drum behind them. Deng Qi was originally the one who personally led the troops into battle. He didn't have many opportunities to actually command the army, and he didn't have much relevant experience. So he gave it a try with the mentality of "if you have dates and don't have dates, you'll have to wait and see."

The results seemed to have some effect, but the overall effect was not significant. When the two sides were about twenty steps apart, quick guns, three-eyed muskets, javelins and other objects were quickly released, and then they crashed into each other like two behemoths.

The officers and soldiers were overwhelmed by their momentum and were not resolute in charging, so they were immediately staggered by the rebels on the opposite side.

Fortunately, the quality of the more than 10,000 troops under Deng Qi's command was quite good. After retreating more than ten steps, Deng Qi, Zuo Liangyu, Tang Jiuzhou and others personally led their guards to kill dozens of deserters, and finally stopped. This weakened the situation and temporarily stabilized the position of the officers and soldiers.

Then, it’s time for boring battles. "Sun Tzu's Art of War" says: Use the right combination to win by surprise. Now it is time for both sides to "integrate", and the war has entered a stalemate for a while.

In this era, infantry fought better than cavalry and were better at "paddling". After the soldiers with long-range attacks such as quick guns and three-eyed guns were released, they quickly retreated behind the spearmen.

These spearmen danced with the flat spears in their hands, slapping and fighting with each other. Almost no one tried to step forward to assassinate the opponent.

After all, everyone has a spear in their hands. When you go to assassinate the enemy, the enemy can also take the opportunity to assassinate you. Even if you are smart, "two fists can't beat four hands." If the opponent has more than a dozen spears coming at you, you will be lucky if you don't turn into a "hornet's nest."

Zhang Shun stood on a high place and watched for a while, and found that the two formations were intersecting. The fight was lively but the outcome was indifferent, and it was quite boring for a while.

He carefully thought about the skills of playing "Rome Total War" in his previous life, and remembered that if he could not kill the opponent with long-range firepower, he would have to rely on cavalry to attack the two wings, or charge around the back.

But now that our own side's long-range firepower is not very strong, and the cavalry is caught in a fight, what should we do?

While Zhang Shun was thinking, Zhang Shun slowly discovered something was wrong. The battle lines in other places have basically remained unchanged since the beginning of the battle. Only the left formation was slowly being suppressed by the right formation of officers and soldiers.

This left formation belongs to the "Eight Kings", and the enemy opposite him is Ma Fengyi's stone pillar chieftain soldiers.

It turns out that these stone pillar chieftains are quite elite and are good at sudden charges. Even with their great reputation, the "Eight Kings" can't resist them.

Sorry, it's too late to come back today. There is only one chapter.
