Because the number of cavalry on the two wings was small, although the firecrackers were damaged to a certain extent, they were quickly cleaned up by Li Xin and others, but these cavalry only accounted for a small proportion in front of the number of the four Zhichong Mansions of the forbidden army, and solving them could not change the situation of the battle.

What really determines who wins and who loses is the frontal battlefield.

The last time the Ningzhou army faced Hou Jingde, it injured more than 10,000 people, but the losses were basically the newly recruited recruits along the way, the 40,000 people in the headquarters and the soldiers who surrendered along the way, there was not much damage, these soldiers combined, about 100,000 people, more than the number of the four Zhichong Prefectures of the forbidden army.

But......

Whether the military quality of the officers and men of the two sides is on the same level is an issue worth considering.

After Ye Sheng retired from the front line, several generals of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army were all outstanding people, even if they arrived here in Pei Jin, they were also quite talented generals, and these central forbidden troops have maintained quite strong combat effectiveness until now.

At that time, Li Xin led the right battalion forbidden army of the Western Expedition, and with the same number, he could even gain the upper hand when he fought with the Pingnan Army head-on!

And the current Ningzhou Army, even if it is the 40,000 headquarters of the Ningzhou Army, that is, the combination of the remnants of the Pingnan Army and the Hanzhou Army, most of the rest are recruits recruited along the way and trained for a few months, and it is still unknown whether they can collide head-on with the forbidden army.

After Li Xin dealt with the cavalry attacking the two flanks, he briefly counted the casualties of the firecrackers, and then he waved his hand and said in a deep voice to the remaining firecrackers: "All with me, support the frontal battlefield!" ”

He rode on a horse, took the lead, and rushed to the front line.

The six or seven hundred firecrackers behind him also carried firecrackers on their backs, followed behind Li Xin, and went to support the frontal battlefield.

Since the Southwest Army came out of Shu, Li Xin has maintained a relatively mysterious posture, from Hanzhong to Luzhou, Mu Ying led the Hanzhou Army to fight, and after arriving in the capital, it was replaced by Li Shuo to lead the troops on the front line, Li Xin, the general, has never personally commanded the army.

But at this juncture, he can no longer pretend to be profound.

This battle is the most critical battle of the Southwest Army's Eastern Crusade, after winning, the Southwest Army will deserve a lot of support, and Li Xin's next plan will also be much smoother, so he must do his best to win this war!

At this time, the frontal battlefield has been beaten into a mess!

Since the formation of the Southwest Army, all the battles fought have been either attacking or defending the city, and with the help of Tianlei, they have been carried out very smoothly, but the large corps has collided head-on, this is the first time!

Li Shuo put on a relatively defensive position, a row of shield soldiers stood at the front of the army, behind the shield soldiers were the unique archers of the Southwest Army, and behind the archers were as many as thousands of archers.

This formation is a tactic developed by the Southwest Army after it has a firearms battalion, as long as it is not overwhelmed by a wave of enemy impact, the archers and archers can cause a lot of damage to the enemy!

However, the attack of the forbidden army was extremely fierce!

These forbidden troops, all of whom are foot soldiers, rushing to the front of the forbidden army are all armed with spears, spears and other long weapons, and more importantly, although their number is large, the formation that has impacted them is extremely scattered, and the distance between the two people is about two or three meters away!

This formation will lead to the dispersion of the army's combat power, and it is likely to lead to the situation that your side will fight more with less, if the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not much different, it is very likely to be directly defeated by the other side, but it is undeniable that this formation is extremely effective when dealing with firearms!

In this world, no one is a fool, and after the imperial court has suffered so many losses from the heavenly thunder, it is impossible for the imperial court to rush out in a swarm and gather together to blow up the heavenly thunder.

The archers of the Southwest Army, when they were training, the most basic thing was to throw the heavenly thunder into the pile, but now that the imperial army's troops are so scattered, their heavenly thunder lethality has suddenly dropped a lot.

However, now, the imperial court has not found that the posture of "lying down" can avoid most of the damage of the thunder, and these forbidden troops can't lie down on the ground uniformly when the southwest army throws the thunder, most of them turn their backs and squat on the ground, using their backs to resist the damage.

In this way, although the role of the heavenly thunder has been greatly weakened, it is not without effect, and hundreds or thousands of heavenly thunderbolts on the front-line battlefield have been dropped, which still caused a large number of casualties among the forbidden army.

However, these forbidden troops have very strong military quality, and when their comrades in front were blown to the ground, the forbidden troops in the rear gritted their teeth and filled them, and the entire formation was slowly but firmly advancing towards the camp of the Southwest Army!

Once the forbidden army gets close, it is still unknown whether the Southwest Army can please it!

Li Shuo, who was dressed in iron armor, stood at the front of the team to command, and after seeing this situation, he first frowned, and then gave a decisive order.

"The grenadiers stand back for now, the archers come up, don't be stingy with your arms, shoot them!"

He shouted: "The rest of the people, all of them are substituted!" ”

"Prepare to kill!"

Behind the archers, that is, ordinary soldiers, they are either armed with knives or guns, or a typical cold weapon army, Li Shuo's words mean that once they are close, they are ready to fight cold weapons with the forbidden army head-on.

Moreover, he asked the throwers to suspend their throwing, the purpose was to let them save some firearms, and when the two sides fought together, it was unlikely that the forbidden army would continue to maintain this loose formation, and then the sky thunder would play the greatest role.

On the frontal battlefield, the men of the forbidden army have been falling to the ground in a rain of arrows, but this proportion of casualties is acceptable.

They've been pushing slowly!

One hundred steps! Eighty steps!

Li Shuo's eyes showed a fierce light, and he shouted coldly: "Brothers, the forbidden army of the imperial court dares to press over like this, obviously because I think that my Ningzhou army is useless after removing the heavenly thunder!" ”

"They look down on us!"

The Ningzhou general, who was in his early thirties, pulled out his sword from his waist and roared angrily: "Let's kill it, let them see how powerful the Ningzhou army is!" ”

As a result, the Ningzhou Army Headquarters was not passive, and about four or five thousand people took the initiative to rush out to meet the slowly approaching Central Forbidden Army!

The current soldiers of the Ningzhou Army...... Although they came from anywhere, almost all of the generals of the Ningzhou Army came from the Pingnan Army of that year, and the Pingnan Army had been crisscrossing the southwest for thirty or forty years, and it was a border army with extremely good combat effectiveness.

After hearing Li Shuo's words, these Ningzhou army generals all had red eyes, drew out the swords on their waists, and the spears behind them rushed out with Li Shuo!

"Damn, the old accounts from more than ten years ago will be settled with you today!"

Back then, the Pingnan Army suffered heavy casualties under the forbidden army led by Li Xin, and the remnants of them had to surrender to Li Xin, and they did not dare to revisit the old things in front of Li Xin, but these generals from the Pingnan Army inevitably remembered the events of the year when they faced the forbidden army in front of them.

Some men with spears in their hands charged at the Praetorian Army.

"Today, I will be ashamed, let you know that the army in the southwest is not inferior to you, the forbidden army in the capital!"

At this time, on the frontal battlefield where the two armies were fighting, there were occasional thunderstorms.

The two groups of people rushed together in a deafening roar.

The shouts of rushing and killing, and the blood in the sky, formed an extremely dazzling picture.

The sound of killing shook the sky!

Blood splattered!

The flower of blood in the era of cold weapons, under the reflection of the prototype of hot weapons, still stubbornly blooms.
