501 Two different fighting styles

[Today's chapter is presented, ask for a wave collection subscription!! ] 】

I have to say that Song Xiance's tactical style of play has no problems at all, and he has indeed found Li Zixiao's weakness at this time.

And Li Zixiao is very aware of the shortcomings of his team.

Therefore, when Song Xiance's offensive formation had just been launched, he knew that Song Xiance had really found their weaknesses and came up with countermeasures.

"It is worthy of being a powerful general under Li Zicheng, and his eyes are very vicious, but what if he finds the shortcomings of our army, this battle has just begun!"

At this time, Li Zixiao's eyes looked at the location of Song Xiance in the thief army formation in the distance, with a look of appreciation on his face, and said in a low voice.

Although Li Zixiao saw that Song Xiance's fighting style was very correct.

Before Song Xiance's battle, he must have carefully analyzed and studied the previous series of fighting styles of the White Dragon Army, knowing that the musketeers of the White Dragon Army were sharp, and he took the initiative to avoid its edge.

Li Zixiao also expected this.

In this battle, Li Zixiao did not put the main hope of victory on the musketeers under his command, not even on himself.

"Kill!"

Thousands of thieves scattered their formations, roaring angrily, and the battlefield had already rushed to the side of the White Dragon Army from at least three directions at the same time.

Thundered!

Just when the thief army was attacking and charging, the artillery of the White Dragon Army never stopped bombarding.

Moreover, this time the artillery battalion of the White Dragon Army, according to Li Zixiao's instructions, they bombarded mainly the thief army charging on the left and right.

On the contrary, they charged in front of the White Dragon Army, and those trembling thieves were pleasantly surprised to find that the bombardment shells were not aimed at them.

"Franc machine, fire!"

Li Zixiao stood in the center of the formation, and when he saw that the thieves who were charging in front of the formation had rushed to a distance of three hundred meters from them, he decisively gave an order.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, more than 30 Francophone machines on a column of chariots in the front row opened fire at the same time, and a series of artillery shots rang out.

The big lead bullets flew out first, smashed into the crowd, smashed the shield cart, scattered the sawdust all over the ground, and some of the unlucky guys hiding behind the shield cart were instantly lost by the big lead bullets at the mouth of the bowl.

Only the large lead bullet that did not smash the shield car and smashed directly into the crowd directly set off a bloody storm, and the bouncing lead bullet, rubbing against any thief, was either dead or disabled.

These big buckshots, the gunners of the Franc machine, are mainly to smash the shield carts that the thieves pushed at the front.

As long as the Franc machine is used to knock out those rough shield carts made of logs, these thieves will lose the only means that can resist the musketeers of the White Dragon Army.

Behind the more than 30 large buckshot bullets fired by the Franc machine, followed by small lead bullets in the sky, which came in pieces and was a rain of bullets.

Although these small lead bullets have no destructive power against those shield cars, the lethality of those thieves and soldiers in the charge is very terrifying.

After a rain of bullets passed, hundreds of thieves would fall, and not many would die, and unless they hit the vital point, they would scream and wail and completely lose their combat effectiveness.

After three rounds of firing from the Franc machine, although these thieves fell a lot, they still continued to charge, did not retreat, and even rushed to within 100 meters.

"Musketeers, prepare, shoot!"

Bang bang bang!

At this time, Li Zixiao ordered again to let the musketeers also shoot at the charging thieves through the gap between the battlefields in front of them.

More than 1,200 musketeers, forming three columns, fired in three shots, and such a dense firepower instantly knocked down the thieves who charged in front, and the thieves in pieces.

It's just that, compared to the crowds of thieves, these thieves who fell completely did not stop the thieves behind from continuing to charge.

Song Xiance was also ruthless enough this time, he knew that the elite he sent out, if he wanted to break through a gap from the two wings, he didn't need to put enough men and horses on the front to attract the musketeers who were entangled in the White Dragon Army.

The musketeers in the White Dragon Army's formation could not be dispersed to the battlefield on both flanks to participate in the battle, so the thieves who Song Xiance charged head-on this time accounted for almost half of the troops in his hands.

They will divide into several waves and launch fierce and uninterrupted attacks on the vanguard of the White Dragon Army.

Just as the White Dragon Musketeers were firing frantically at the front, knocking back all the thieves who tried to rush in front of them from the front.

The thieves who attacked on the left and right flanks of the White Dragon Army were basically in place.

Except for the uninterrupted artillery bombardment from the rear of the White Dragon Army during the charge, they did not encounter any musketeer fire.

This made their casualties much better than those cannon fodder who charged ahead.

It's just that the first batch of thieves and soldiers on their two wings to charge are not very many, only 3,000 people.

After withstanding several rounds of artillery bombardment and losing hundreds of men, these 3,000 people finally killed in front of the two wings of the White Dragon Army, and collided with the soldiers who had been waiting in line for a long time in the White Dragon Army.

Defending on the left flank of the main formation of the White Dragon Army was the fierce wolf battalion of Iron Egg, with a total of more than 2,000 people.

They all formed a straggler's formation, and one by one they looked at the enemy who was rushing towards them.

"Haha, here you are, brothers, ready to kill me." Tie Dan looked at the thief army that had rushed within a hundred paces, and shouted excitedly.

"Whoa, the wolf is invincible, the wolf is invincible, kill and kill!"

With the roar of Tie Dan, the surrounding fierce wolf camp soldiers all shouted excitedly, screaming.

"Kill!"

When the thief army rushed to kill thirty meters in front of the fierce wolf camp, Tie Dan gave an order, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and rushed out first, taking the lead.

He was followed by more than 1,600 soldiers of the Fierce Wolf Battalion who were roaring excitedly.

Tie Dan is too familiar with his fierce wolf battalion, these guys from mountain bandits and rogues are best at being brave and ruthless, they are good at attacking, but they are clumsy for defense.

So this time, Li Zixiao also fully relinquished power to Tie Dan and clearly ordered him that as long as he could hold the left flank defense line, no matter how he fought, Li Zixiao would not interfere.

But there was only one requirement, before the battle was over, their fierce wolf battalion was in the direction of the left flank, and not a single thief soldier should be released and rushed into the main formation.

The iron eggs, who fully obtained Li Zixiao's power, quickly discussed with the monk and worked out their own style of play.

Since their fierce wolf battalion is good at attacking, but not good at defending, then simply Tie Dan treats this task of defending the left flank as an attack.

As long as they continue to defeat on the left flank and charge the attacking thieves, won't they be able to hold the left flank defense line!

Therefore, when he saw the thief soldiers rushing forward, Tie Dan asked the monk to take five hundred elite fierce wolf battalion soldiers to stay behind to defend, and he himself rushed forward with more than 1,600 fierce wolf battalion soldiers.

The five hundred people in the hands of the monk are not only the last line of defense, but also the task of answering the iron egg at any time as a backup team.

"Kill!"

Poof!

In this way, the two teams rushed together without any fancy all-round killing, and as soon as they met, blood shot out, and screams rang out.

The sound of 'clanging' knives and guns clashed, and the two teams of more than 4,000 people were strangled together.

I have to admit that these bandit-born soldiers of the Fierce Wolf Battalion are really brave in battle, their martial arts are all good, and they are very brave in battle.

In particular, according to Li Zixiao's previous ideas, Tie Dan created an 'elite team' in the fierce wolf camp.

These soldiers in teams of three or five shot ruthlessly one by one, cooperated with tacit understanding, and the thieves they killed lost their armor.

"you."

Poof!

The iron egg slashed at the shoulder of a thief, but the steel knife was stuck in the bone of the thief's shoulder, and he couldn't pull it out.

Eventually, Iron Egg roared and kicked it out.

"Old cat, bring someone to kill me in, kill the thief!"

Tie Dan is not tall, but he is extremely brave, he takes a few carefully selected elite soldiers, and kills in and out of the enemy formation, where the battle situation is unfavorable, they will appear there.

In the end, this large wave of iron eggs, with more than 1,600 soldiers of the fierce wolf battalion, actually defeated the more than 2,600 thieves who rushed over (more than 300 were bombarded by artillery during the attack).

This wave of thieves was killed by the iron eggs until they collapsed, and they turned around and ran, leaving behind corpses all over the place, and even some of the soldiers who were injured and fell to the ground could not be taken away.

Tie Dan took the soldiers and chased them out for 500 meters, but decided not to chase them, but to return and clean up the remaining enemies on the battlefield.

After returning, Tie Dan took his men and began to mend the thieves who were injured on the battlefield and had no time to escape, leaving the battlefield to wail.

That is to say, kill all the remaining thieves who are fine, and there will be no mercy at this time, and the thieves in this case, even if they surrender, are unacceptable.

On the right flank of the main formation of the White Dragon Army, it was defended by an 'iron-blooded battalion' of more than 2,000 people led by Xu Qian.

Xu Qiannai is the son of Xu Wei, and he is also the second deputy general in the 'Iron Blood Battalion', in addition to Qi Lin.

At this time, Xu Wei stayed in Ruzhou City and could not fight, and Qi Lin followed Qi Wei, so he could only command the 'Iron Blood Battalion'.

Before the war, Li Zixiao had already studied this area, and the place where he asked the White Dragon Army to spread out its formation at this time was the most suitable area for the decisive battle between the White Dragon Army and the Thief Army.

The terrain of this place is quite plain, with the Mt. Gou to the north, a river two miles to the west, and a small hill not too high to the east.

The formation of the White Dragon Army is placed facing the north, which means that the left flank of the fierce wolf battalion of the iron egg is actually the western front, and the right flank of the iron and blood battalion is on the east side.

Li Zixiao also considered it very carefully when he chose the Iron Blood Battalion and the Fierce Wolf Battalion to defend the left and right flanks.

The left flank to the west was a river, and the river was not frozen at this time, and the river was cold, so it was unlikely that the thieves would be ambushed from that side.

The east side of the right wing is different, although this hill is not too high, but it perfectly blocks Li Zixiao's view.

It's really easy to get Song Xiance to lay an ambush in advance, and Li Zixiao has to be prepared in advance.

That is to say, the defensive task on the east side of the right wing is more difficult than that on the west side of the left flank, so Li Zixiao will arrange for the iron-blooded battalion to be in the east and the fierce wolf battalion to be in the west.

Compared with the fierce wolf camp that had just been rushed back, Li Zixiao believed in the combat power of the iron-blooded battalion more, and the equipment of the iron-blooded battalion was much more luxurious than that of the fierce wolf battalion.

The Iron Blood Battalion and the Fierce Wolf Battalion are completely two styles of play, and the Iron Blood Battalion is more comprehensive in its ability to attack and defend.

And Xu Qian has also been familiar with military books since he was a child, and has been in the army for more than ten years, and now he is less than forty years old.

At this time, Xu Qian made full use of a batch of tall shields in the hands of the Iron Blood Battalion to form a shield wall.

When the thieves rushed up, they found helplessly that they were blocked by the shield wall of the Iron Blood Battalion, and it was difficult to rush in.

Bang bang bang!

One by one, the thieves with shields trotted and slammed into the shield wall, trying to break through a gap and kill into it.

And the iron-blooded battalion soldiers inside were stubbornly resisting the shield wall, and at the same time, the white dragon soldiers inside either threw throwing spears outside, or did not leak a trace of the shield gap.

Then, while none of the thieves noticed, he quickly stabbed his spear out, and he was sure to hit the enemy.

"Grenadier, prepare! Throw! ”

At this time, Xu Qian shouted loudly.

Then he will see him behind the shield wall, more than twenty soldiers of the Iron Blood Battalion, putting away their swords and guns.

They took out a few iron-clad mines from the large boxes in the back, and then lit the fuse, and when the fuse burned almost abusively, they threw it over the shield wall and into the group of thieves outside.

Thundered!

Soon, there was a loud explosion, which sounded outside them, and the ears of the shock were buzzing.

After the explosion, there was a scream of "ahhhh

"Haha, that's it, just fight like this, see what these thieves are capable of, and pass the level of Lao Tzu." Xu Qian shouted excitedly.

For today's battle, after he received Li Zixiao's order last night, he also thought about it all night, thinking about how to fight today.

Xu Qian can be regarded as inheriting the combat style of his father, General Xu, steady and steady, quite a bit of immovable taste, and his overall planning and deployment ability is very good.

Moreover, the fierce wolf camp used a lot of iron-shelled mines, but on Xu Qian's side, it broke out with huge lethality.

After all, there is a shield wall to block it, and the soldiers of the iron-clad battalion are really not afraid of receiving the impact of the explosion of the iron-clad mine, so directly throwing the iron-clad mine into the dense enemy group is simply a big explosion.

At the same time, this also made a kind of army called 'grenadier' gradually born in the White Dragon Army at this time.

It's just that at this time, the 'grenadiers' in the White Dragon Army basically have ordinary foot soldiers from each battalion, and they just receive an extra training in bomb throwing on weekdays.

It has not yet been possible to set up this class on its own for independent training, but with the improvement and increased use of iron-clad mines, it may not be long before this class will be available in the White Dragon Army.
