Chapter 348 Victory is certain

The two corners of Ma Fengyi Chieftain's phalanx were instantly knocked flat by "King Zuo Jin" and "Ge Liyan". Regardless of whether it was the soldier at the corner of the formation or the dozen or so soldiers behind him, although they tried their best to resist, they were either killed by the rebel cavalry or were knocked away alive by the horses.

Of course, the rebel cavalry also had a hard time. While the cavalrymen in the front row were killing the chieftain in front of them, they were also instantly pierced by several spears through their armor and lost their lives.

Some people were fine, but their horses were stabbed to death. The cavalry on the war horse was thrown off and trampled to death by the cavalry coming from behind.

The collision of flesh and blood resulted in a large amount of blood and lives. The Shizhu chieftain soldiers were the private soldiers of the chieftain Ma family, and he regarded them as the foundation for his livelihood. Therefore, they received rigorous military training and were equipped with advanced cotton armor, crossbows, hook guns, waist knives and other weapons.

These chieftain soldiers are the enhanced version of the guard soldiers. The lives of the whole family depend on the chieftain, so they will fight to the death and never retreat. Although the rebel cavalry came with great force, after passing through layers of resistance and layers of buffers, they finally lost their impact speed and stopped.

Fortunately, these cavalrymen are veterans of charging, and they are already used to charging. After these cavalry stopped charging, they fought with the chieftain soldiers with spears, waist knives and other objects in their hands, while turning their horses' heads and preparing to retreat to the left and right sides in order to get out of the way and clear the way for the next wave of cavalry to charge.

The thousand cavalrymen of the "Purple Gold Liang" inherited by Zhang Shun were also elite, wearing armor and fearless of death. Like the general phalanx of spears and spears, they would be rushed out of the gap during their wave after wave of charges.

Then, the rebel cavalry would swarm forward and tear open the "wounds" of the phalanx. Until they take the opportunity to tear apart the enemy's phalanx and scatter the enemy's formation, the final result will turn into a one-sided massacre.

Unexpectedly, those chieftain soldiers were charged by the rebels. Not only did they resist without retreating, but they rushed forward when the officers and soldiers were about to retreat.

They used the iron hooks of the spears in their hands to hook the cavalry on horseback. The rebels were caught off guard. Many people were accidentally hooked into their armor and were directly pulled off by the officers and soldiers.

No matter how brave these people are, once they are hooked, they will be thrown to pieces. Before these rebels could resist, they were hacked to death and stabbed to death by swarming officers and soldiers.

Some of the more daring chieftain soldiers also took the opportunity to roll to the ground and chop off the cavalry's horse legs with their big swords.

"King Zuo Jin" was really good at it. He dodged the hook shot first, and just in time to see the officers and soldiers below coming to the ground, ready to chop off his horse's legs.

"King Zuojin" kicked the horse's belly, and the horse he was sitting on dropped its hooves on the spot. With just one kick, it knocked over an officer and soldier who rushed up. Immediately, the officer and soldier rolled back with broken muscles and bones, and for a moment he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

"King Zuojin" himself was lucky, but the other cavalrymen under his command were not so lucky. Some soldiers were lucky enough to escape the hook shot, but were unexpectedly hit in the leg by officers and soldiers. They rolled over, both men and horses, and were eventually rushed to death by officers and soldiers.

After a while, people fell on their backs. When "King Zuo Jin" withdrew to engage in the battle, he did a rough head count and found that more than twenty riders were killed in the battle, which made him feel very distressed.

At this time, the second wave of charging cavalry had not yet received the news that the chieftain soldiers were tenacious and good at fighting, so they rushed forward blankly, and again lost many men and horses.

"King Zuo Jin" quickly rushed to Zhang Shun's side and shouted excitedly: "These chieftain soldiers are all elites. Our cavalry has suffered too many casualties. We must not attack by force!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. Originally, he thought that not only did he attack from both front and back, but he also brought news that the entire army of officers and soldiers reinforcements had been annihilated and the food and grass had been robbed, the overall situation of this battle was decided. He did not expect that among the officers and soldiers, there were people who dared to fight.

In order to prevent the cavalry from suffering excessive losses, Zhang Shun quickly ordered the cavalry to retreat and not continue the mindless charge.

Fighting requires not only courage, but also wisdom. As the saying goes, "Hardness cannot last, softness cannot be maintained." It is true that when hard, it is hard, and when soft, it is soft.

After the other cavalry heard the sound of retreating gold, they stopped charging. Instead, they lined up on both sides under the leadership of "King Zuo Jin" and "Ge Liyan", threatening and monitoring the chieftain soldiers in front of them.

The chieftain soldiers killed the rebel cavalry and suffered heavy losses in the left and right corners of the phalanx. Ma Fengyi happened to change the formation slightly and turned into the cone formation commonly used by chieftain soldiers.

The cone-shaped formation is good at attacking, and the stone pillar chieftain soldiers are indeed worthy of the name of white pole soldiers. Under such a disadvantage, they are still willing to counterattack.

Zhang Shun frowned and took a look, and found that Ma Fengyi's cone-shaped formation was really powerful. It happened to face the cavalry of "Zuo Jinwang" and "Grey Eyes" on the left and right sides, reducing the angular weakness of the square formation.

If the rebel cavalry united together and attacked from the front of the conical formation, due to the strong attack and weak defense characteristics of the cavalry, it would be easy for the chieftain soldiers to separate them from the middle and approach Zhang Shun's army.

If the rebels line up on the left and right and shoot at the chieftain soldiers, the chieftain soldiers can also take out their bows and crossbows and shoot at the rebels. Trading steps for riding is not a loss.

Zhang Shun smiled coldly when he saw this, this soldier was considered to be the strongest soldier in the world, but it's a pity that times have changed.

Zhang Shun only ordered "King Zuo Jin" and "Ge Liyan" to guard the left and right sides, and the other ten red barbarian cannons captured by the cashiers who supported the rebels were lined up in a row and aimed at Ma Fengyi's chieftain soldiers.

But this time the artillery fire was different from the siege. The captured Ming army gunner first loaded three times the gunpowder, then added one point of shotgun shell, one four-pound iron bullet, and one large stone bullet.

This charging method originated from the "Gong Ling Sun" method of the famous minister Ye Mengxiong in the Ming Dynasty. The purpose was to release as many shells as possible and enhance the lethality of the artillery.

However, the shortcomings of this method are also obvious. Loading too much ammunition can easily cause the chamber to explode. Fortunately, these ten Hongyi cannons were carefully forged by Wang Zunde, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and there was no risk of exploding their barrels for the time being.

There was only an earth-shattering sound of artillery, and large stone bullets, small iron bullets and a large number of shotguns swept across the current formation of the stone pillar chieftain soldiers.

Suddenly, the first row of Tusi soldiers fell down in front of them, riddled with bullets. Those stone bullets and iron bullets penetrated the formation, killing three to five people in a row before stopping.

When Ma Fengyi heard the sound of the cannon, her heart suddenly burst with fear. In front of the real formation of the thieves, the horse troops were divided on the left and right, and the Hongyi artillery bombarded them in front of them, followed by more than 10,000 troops pressing down on the formation. How could they win? Not only can't we win, but even if we escape unscathed today, it's just a luxury!

Thinking of this, Ma Fengyi quickly sent her confidants to report to Deng Qi and let him make an early decision.

Then Deng Qi was also a veteran general. How could he not know that the army was in danger now? It was just that the army and the rebel army in front of it were entangled and unable to break away.

The rear army was attacked by more than 10,000 rebels led by Zhang Shun and more than 1,000 cavalry troops. They could not defeat them and could not escape. The end of the entire army being annihilated is right in front of us.
