The ten thousand immortals who stood in the way were slightly beaten by the soldiers and horses of the 3,000 battalion and the Shenji battalion, and then turned around and fled.

Even if you run away, you don't forget to carry the big flag embroidered with lotus flowers.

The slogans of this group of bandits were still echoing in the ears of the soldiers and generals of the Beijing camp, but they retreated in defeat and went west.

"Three mountains and three mountains, standing in the clouds, as soon as the command sounds, rush forward with two shouts, break through, look up, the enemy can't see it, the cannon falls behind, pick up the knife and want to cut, the enemy who cuts does not open his eyes, look south, this sea is full of water, follow the water waves, rush forward, rush past, win the battle, win the battle and be safe."

Looking at the tattered knives and guns and broken shoes and hats that had been discarded for more than a mile, Luo Zuming couldn't help laughing.

"A good one won the battle safely, let's let you have a good time today!"

Luo Zuming whipped his finger, "Sons, kill!" ”

In fact, even if he didn't issue a military order, this group of 3,000 cavalry was eager to try.

Fangcai's battle was just a one-sided slaughter, and a round of fire from the Shenji Battalion killed and wounded nearly 100 opponents, and there were no casualties on their own side. They had never fought such a battle before!

The iron hooves of the cavalry stepped on the battlefield, and you could still see the corpses of the bandits lying on the official road, the moaning and wounded, and the sparse and crudely made weapons everywhere.

These have nothing to do with them, they are rolling in iron hooves, just running forward, their goal is not these!

After riding the horse for more than a mile, he saw the bandits in front of him who were running out of breath and routing, and heard the sound of horses' hooves chasing after them like a storm. They were even more frightened and screamed, and they ran as fast as they could, in all directions. However, they were driven away by a cavalry squad of 3,000 battalions separated from the brigade, and the exhausted congregants had to kneel and ask for surrender.

"Tie it up! Tie it up! Half a silver dollar for a bandit! ”

Don't ask me how the price of capturing the bandits alive has changed, everyone knows this kind of thing.

The cavalry of the 3,000 battalions continued to ride forward, and the cavalry squads continued to come out to separate the bandits' brigades, and the cavalry of the brigade still drove them forward.

After walking for a while, I saw a lot of gold buns, silver ingots, and some belongings such as hairpin rings and jewelry thrown on the ground. More of them are colorful silk brocades. There are also a few leather goods occasionally.

The soldiers and horses of the 3,000 battalions cheered even more, they were pursuing so hard, wasn't that why?!

Some of the quick-eyed ones jumped off their horses to collect their possessions, and some of the cavalrymen saw that they could not get them. Then he sat down with hatred, and the war horse continued to chase towards the crowd not far away.

More gold and silver were scattered in front of them. One piece in the east and one piece in the west. It stretches for two miles in the surrounding area.

"Come on! Chase! The bandits have good stuff there! ”

I don't know if the roar coming from there spread among the ranks of the Shenji Battalion. The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were also very excited, and they rushed forward with a push. They followed closely behind the horses of the 3,000 battalions, hoping to pick up the fish that slipped through the net from their hands.

"Alas! The mainland officers and soldiers are still so unproductive! ”

Liao Dongzhi raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the two friendly troops competing for property and even moving their hands in the lens.

If such a situation occurred when the Nanyue Army pursued the retreating enemy army and expanded its results, I am afraid that the officers at all levels would not be able to run a military stick, and there would also be a military and political secretary to write today's performance and consequences into the officer's file, which would directly affect the promotion and promotion. The scramble for gold and silver caused chaos, and there was no military morale, and the troops fell into a state of disorganization and undiscipline. If the enemy army suddenly besieged with a large group of cavalry and infantry at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In fact, this kind of trick has been used until the Republic of China, and several famous bandits in the Republic of China often sacrificed this trick to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the official army, and the officers and soldiers of the encirclement and suppression were often killed and defeated under the trick of the bandits.

Of course, Liao Dongzhi will not be fooled, with the strict discipline of the Southern Yue Army and the self-restraint ability of the soldiers, he can also resist the temptation of those gold and silver goods, (joke, these soldiers and low-level officers are all medium-sized landlords who are measured by the standards of the Central Plains officers and soldiers, and they lose more for a little property, so they can't afford it!) Behind Liao Dongzhi's handsome banner, the marching sequence composed of battalions was quietly parked on the official road, still maintaining the integrity of the formation, and the officers at all levels walked back and forth in the ranks from time to time, whispering to urge the soldiers to drink water and rest, and check the equipment on their bodies.

Seeing this scene, the two lieutenant generals who also held binoculars and looked at the battle in the distance were quite embarrassed. His own army can be described as the elite of the country, and the army of the Son of Heaven is so rotten that it is so rotten!

The two of them were about to find a step for themselves, and then after collecting their troops and returning to the camp, they were about to clean up this group of blinding things, when they faintly heard a faint sound in their ears.

The sound is getting clearer and louder, and the rhythm is getting more and more distinct.

In the distance, dozens of sentry horsemen galloped back from the east.

Behind the smoke they waded, a looming crowd was rising and falling on the horizon.

"Array!"

Liao Dongzhi coldly burst out of his mouth these two words, and a loud trumpet sounded over the queue of the Third Brigade, and all the officers and soldiers immediately became nervous.

Luo Zuming and Tan Chery also urged their cronies to gather their subordinates, don't be greedy for money anymore, and hurry back to line up!

Liao Dongzhi was not alarmed, just holding a telescope and looking at the enemy situation in the distance.

"My lord! It was the main force of the Wenxiang Sect that killed it from the east! They're going to drive us off Dongping Lake! ”

The sentry led by the sentry panted and rolled the saddle and fell off the horse in front of Liao Dongzhi's horse, and he didn't care about rectifying the army's appearance, so he loudly explained the enemy situation to the brigade commander.

"How many are there?!"

"At least fifty thousand! The bandits in several nearby lost cities are still rushing to this side one after another! ”

Luo Zuming was urging the cavalry who hurried back from the west side of the official road to line up, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but shake his hands. The telescope in his hand almost fell off his horse.

"General Luo, your cavalry is lined up in the north and south of the official road, protecting the two wings for the army, ready to attack and kill at any time!"

"Talking about Chery, haven't you always said that your Shenji Battalion has been able to train soldiers? You will be in front of you, and my 3rd Brigade will be behind you, and you will be covered by artillery with artillery! ”

With a bitter face and under pressure, the soldiers and horses of the Shenji Battalion lined up in a chaotic array on the east side of the official road, opening a long formation. Three thousand battalions of cavalry. It is lined up at the north and south ends. The cavalry of the 3rd Brigade was in the formation of the Shenji Battalion to gallop forward and block the attack of those bandits who smelled incense.

Dozens of cannons were lined up behind the formation of the Shenji Battalion and in front of the queue of the Third Brigade. Hold down the position for the Shenji Battalion. Stand on your feet and cheer. Seeing the 3rd Brigade behind him. The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who were still a little flustered just now, suddenly boosted their morale, and the formation became neat! Belch. How do you feel a bit of a fox and a fake tiger? It seems like a little kid fight, and adults cheer for kids in the back?

Liao Dongzhi, Luo Zuming, and Tan Qirui rode their horses and stood in the military formation surrounded by many personal soldiers, holding binoculars and looking over. Suddenly, an earth-shattering cannon sound sounded, and then dozens of big flags waved in the ranks of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, as if thousands of people were shouting in unison, and there was an earth-shattering shouting of killing.

After a high Buddha call, the shouting of killing stopped.

I only heard a high and clear voice faintly reciting the scriptures, thinking that it was the scriptures he taught by smelling incense, and I don't know if it was also telling people to believe in that to get eternal life, to believe in that to keep peace and so on.

"There is no biological mother in the vacuum hometown."

The sound of chanting the scriptures stopped, and instead tens of thousands of people chanted in unison the slogan of his incense teaching, the so-called vacuum hometown without a childless old mother.

Countless members of the Wenxiang Sect with spears and red scarves on their heads rushed towards the official road from east to west, and the voices that were very noisy at first gradually became neat and orderly, and finally converged into one: "There is no old mother in the vacuum hometown!" ”

A jumble of footsteps came from the direction of Dongping County, and the footsteps were mixed with the sound of horses' hooves, and the bandits' horse team also rushed in the crowd. It can only be barely called a horse team, except for some mounts that can barely be regarded as war horses, most of them are horses, mules and donkeys that pull carts and plough the land.

The smoke and dust were billowing out, and there seemed to be a dense crowd of people, killing from behind the hills on the north side of the official road, and for a while, in the north, east, and south directions, at least nearly 100,000 people came together to kill the army on the side of Liao Dongzhi and Luo and Tan!

"Slay demons and enjoy peace!"

"Kill the officers and soldiers and go to heaven!"

Large puffs of smoke and dust rose up, and the sight was densely covered with spears and red turbans, and the crowds of people were pouring everywhere, and there was no edge to be seen.

"What about adults?!"

Although Luo Zuming is very bold when talking about swords on weekdays, when it comes to this kind of life-and-death struggle of tens of thousands of people, he is inevitably a little timid.

"Do you want us to avoid the thieves for the time being?"

"Avoid? Where to avoid? This group of bandits is just going to drive us off Dongping Lake! If you don't plan to bathe in the ice lake, follow us honestly to defeat this bandit and make your fortune! ”

A regimental commander of the Third Brigade reprimanded coldly.

Liao Dongzhi looked indifferent, the clairvoyant mirror in his hand was still held calmly, and after a long time, he snorted: "The bandits are here, it's good!" It just saves the soldiers from looking for them one by one! ”

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes, and he looked around to the left and right. The troops of the 3rd Brigade had already made a defensive posture to the north and south in an orderly manner according to the orders of officers at all levels, and the 3,000 battalions of cavalry, who had been serving as escorts on both flanks, dismounted one after another, and led their horses into the army formation in an orderly manner, ready to serve as a reserve and as an auxiliary for carrying ammunition. Originally, these officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion were quite unconvinced by their new mission, but when they saw the soldiers in helmets and armor on the front line, sitting quietly towards the north and south, their hands unconsciously sliding over the firecrackers, and they did not panic in the slightest because of the arrival of a large group of thieves. Deng Shi felt that it was okay to carry the ammunition himself.

Seeing the bandits rushing from three sides getting closer and closer, they had passed less than a mile, and their heavy and beastly gasps could be heard in their ears. Liao Dongzhi passed down the order: "All departments are ready to meet the enemy!" ”

"Prepare for battle!"

"Prepare for battle!"

The Shenji Battalion, which was facing the enemy, still adopted the old tactics of the Ming army, with the artillery lined up in front of the battle and the fire guns in the rear. Nearly 100 large Buddha cannons lined up along the potholed official road. A long artillery emplacement was pulled apart. In addition to the traditional consciousness of the military formation, there is also one point, the gunners of the Shenji Battalion are not so sure of curved aiming and shooting, and even if the gunners are sure, the gunners will resolutely not allow the cannon to fire behind them.

These gun carriages are hollow in the middle, with long high and low guards on both sides, so that not only can the gunners dodge enemy arrows, but also the gunners can shoot outwards here.

In front of the gunners, in addition to the gun carriages. There are also chariots standing on their sides. on the outer rib holes. They are all inserted with movable cards, painted with beast patterns, and have a certain frightening effect on the enemy's war horses.

And in the military formation. Whether it is a gun carriage or the outside of a combat vehicle. All with dense guns sticking in. Except for the fiery horses. Ordinary enemy horses did not dare to approach.

There is no way, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are always amazed at such a thing as using fire guns to shoot at the enemy in a simple infantry formation. It is like listening to the heavens, if they are really asked to abandon the chariot, the cover of the card, and the rejection of the horse to shoot at the enemy, they will never dare.

At this moment, looking at the military array composed of hundreds of chariots of different sizes, along the potholed official road, more than 2,000 Shenji battalion firecrackers lined up in three rows, and the Nanzhong firecrackers in their hands were black and thick, flint style, and the poles were long, and they were very finely built, and they could break heavy armor within a hundred steps.

Some of the auxiliary soldiers of the Shenji Battalion nervously carried boxes of sub-medicines from Nanzhong out of the baggage trucks and transported them to a short distance behind the musketeers so that they could replenish their ammunition. In several battles of the Southern Yue Army, the Chinese military officials of the DPRK, including Emperor Chongzhen, all believed in their hearts that they all relied on the power of firearms, and they had to purchase some firearms and medicines. Nanzhong's fixed sub-medicine replaced the multi-tank filling model of one soldier and multiple tanks that the Shenji Battalion had used for many years in one fell swoop, and threw aside the primer canister, propellant canister, and lead bag. However, the twilight of the Shenji Battalion was extremely deep, and the relevant officers and generals did not think of changing their way of fighting for many years. Not to mention training in accordance with the combat mode of the Nanyue Army.

However, the thousands of people in front of them were made up by the Nanyue Army, and they were barely qualified.

The bandits surged like a tide.

As they got closer, the twisted and hideous expressions on their faces could be seen more clearly. In the blink of an eye, the tide of torrents had rushed into the range of the gun wagons of the various Great Buddha Machines.

Tan Qirui glanced at Liao Dongzhi, and then glanced at the artillery commander He Zhong not far away, and the sweat in his hands almost soaked the reins of the horse.

Finally, the command flag in He Zhong's hand waved down violently, "Fire!" ”

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of the big Buddha cannon continued, and in the deafening sound of the cannon, each of the Buddha wolf cannons with shotguns sprayed out large strands of sharp smoke and fire in front of them.

The earth seemed to tremble, and these big Buddha cannons, each loaded with at least dozens of lead and iron pellets, the shotguns they fired formed a barrage more than 200 meters long and nearly 10 meters wide.

The bombardment of the big Buddha Lang's machine guns exceeded the salvo of thousands of bird guns, and countless projectiles swept over, only to hear the screams continuously, and the bandits of the Smelling Fragrance Sect of the brigade rolled on the ground covered in blood.

However, even though they were hit by cannons, their arms were knocked off, their thighs were broken, and their bodies were covered in blood and flesh, those cultists who could take action still rushed forward with a shout in their mouths!

"Escape to heaven!"

"My lord! I'm afraid that this group of bandits has drunk cinnabar rune water! ”

A guide sent by the local government was a little frightened, and his teeth were clucking.

Liao Dongzhi tried to get up on horseback, trying to make the obstructed line of sight clear to see the battle situation not far away, but this proved to be futile. However, projectiles do not need to be aimed accurately, and shotguns, especially salvos of dozens of Big Buddha machines, are not needed. In the burst of shotguns, the lead bullets that were as dense as raindrops hit the Wenxiangjiao men and horses that rushed to the front and became more and more densely formed.

Among the projectiles flying in the sky, some of the sect members were beaten to minced flesh on the spot, and even more were those who were recruited and covered in dense blood holes. But with the support of cinnabar, runic water, and religious brainwashing, these wounded still rushed forward with strong support, but often fell to the ground after only a few steps, becoming a corpse.

Gradually, the terrible screams in front of the battle replaced the crazy howls.

Liao Dongzhi turned over and dismounted, and someone had already prepared a big maza for him.

Luo Tan and the others sat down after him, and the two looked at him with expectant eyes.

"My lord, what should we do next?"

"What to do? Wait! ”

Liao Dongzhi picked up an object and fiddled with it in his hand, and put it into the fire from time to time.

Luo Zuming and Tan Chery looked at each other, but they were helpless, but after thinking about it, they also put a heart in their stomachs. Originally! This trip is mainly based on you Liao Dongzhi, and we are just accompanying the prince to study. Now you say wait, then let's just wait!

The two of them didn't know that Liao Dongzhi had gone from a peasant child who resisted grain and taxes, all the way from the countryside of Guangdong to his current status, and he could be regarded as having seen the world. These ghost tricks on the rivers and lakes, he is far more aware than these two noble children.

Those cultists took cinnabar before going out into battle, drank talisman water, and were bewitched by their respective leaders, and the medicine and religious beliefs were made to let them light themselves at this time, as long as they were told that they could become Dharma kings or messengers after ascending to heaven, they would touch their own torches to their bodies.

But these drugs are time-sensitive.

Therefore, those leaders of the sect and bandits had to constantly drive the sect members forward, what they were worried about was that the effect of the drug had passed, and after these sect leaders sobered up, they would not have the courage to fight with the officials and soldiers.

Therefore, what he has to do now is to kill and injure the bandits in large numbers with artillery fire to stop their attack!

"My lord, what is this?"

Seeing that the ironware shaped like a soldering iron was gradually burned red, Luo Zuming was a little curious.

Liao Dongzhi smiled and made the soldering iron slam on a piece of wood, and two words appeared on it, "Bandit!" ”

"This is a small gift for my two brothers. After a while, you will use this object to brand the left arm of those captured bandits, so that they will not be able to escape and be caught. ”

Luo Tan and the two took the soldering iron, and couldn't help but laugh wildly.

In the laughter, the sound of the cannon gradually thinned out, and the continuous firing made the cannon hot, and even the cannon that uses the sub-gun like the Franc machine also needs some time to cool down.

However, what is even worse is that the drug stimulation brought by cinnabar and runic water gradually lost its effect, and in the face of the thousands of corpses piled up in front of the official and military positions, the bandits of the Wenxiang Sect began to be timid and began to waver!

"Don't panic! They are all insincere! That's why the Buddha sent down thunder to collect them! As long as you are sincere and recite the scriptures given by your mother, you will be unscathed even if thousands of cannons are fired at you! ”

The incense masters and altar masters of the Smelling Incense Sect shouted loudly in their respective ranks, constantly throwing runic paper and runic water outward, and some people even threw handfuls of white-flowered rice into the air.

"Firecrackers! Advance! ”

A piercing brass horn sounded, and the officers' orders came one after another in the ranks. (To be continued......)
