(Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe, please!! ）

"This group of bandits is simply too deceitful...

Wu Laiyun watched the White Dragon Army actually clean up the battlefield and loot weapons and armor in front of them, and slaughtered the wounded soldiers, clearly insulting their officers and soldiers.

However, because the other side had artillery to control the battlefield, the officers and troops were newly defeated, and they did not dare to send people to compete with them on the official road for the corpses of their own officers and soldiers, so they could only watch those thieves arrogant.

"Shoot at Ben Shuai and blow them up!"

Wu Laiyun angrily pointed in the direction of the official road and ordered the generals under his command.

Thundered......

A burst of artillery rang out in front of the officers and soldiers, and several shells suddenly fell near the battlefield.

Some of the shells simply landed a dozen paces away from the battlefield, stirring up a cloud of earth and rocks.

But because the distance is too far, there is no accuracy at all, so it can't cause any damage to the White Dragon soldiers who are cleaning the battlefield.

After cleaning the battlefield, the white dragon soldiers laughed loudly at the incompetence of the officers and soldiers, and retreated into the army formation with the trophies and heads.

Not long after, a row of wooden sticks appeared in front of the White Dragon Army, and one or several grinning human heads were picked on each wooden stick.

After seeing these heads, the morale of the officers and soldiers under Wu Laiyun's command plummeted, and they became nervous one by one.

Li Zixiao rode on a horse and was at the back of the military formation, looked at the officers and soldiers more than a mile away on the opposite side, and smiled at the people around him: "This time it is estimated that this Lord Wu is angry!"

Let's see what they should do next, pass the order, let the brothers hurry up and rest, this battle has just begun, and it is far from the end, I don't think Wu Laiyun will give up. ”

Looking at Li Zixiao's relaxed performance on the surface, this is just for his subordinates to see, in order to calm the morale of the army and boost morale.

In fact, at this time, Li Zixiao was still very apprehensive in his heart, and their White Dragon Army really did not have any advantage in this battle, and even said that they were still at a disadvantage.

Don't look at it, they repelled two small waves of tentative attacks by the officers and soldiers before, causing more than 100 casualties to the officers and soldiers and hitting the morale of the officers and soldiers.

However, Li Zixiao could see at a glance that the officers and soldiers just sent out were just a group of miscellaneous soldiers, and the real elite of the officers and soldiers had not moved at all.

At this time, the situation of the White Dragon Army seems to have the upper hand and is more beautiful, but in fact, it is full of dangers, and one mistake will be the conversion of heaven and hell.

"Big boss, the officers and soldiers have suffered such a big loss, but they have also tested our situation, and there are capable people among the officers and soldiers, and it is estimated that they will soon formulate new tactical arrangements.

Big boss, please see, Wu Laiyun seems to be rearranging the soldiers and horses, and then it is time to decide the victory, and our soldiers and horses should also move. ”

Qian Guangyuan, who was beside Li Zixiao, understood Li Zixiao's mood best at this time, and at the same time could see the crisis of the White Dragon Army at this time, and said to Li Zixiao.

Originally, Li Zixiao left Qian Guangyuan to sit in the White Snake General Village to stabilize the people's hearts and stabilize the rear, but Qian Guangyuan was really worried about the victory or defeat of the White Dragon Army in this battle.

So, after dealing with the affairs of the rear, he immediately rushed over non-stop and gave advice by Li Zixiao's side, it was really this battle, and the White Dragon Army couldn't afford to lose.

At this time, Qian Guangyuan, Zhou Dazhu, Wei Hong and others have all been tied up with Li Zixiao and the White Dragon Army, and once the White Dragon Army fails, their fate will not be any better.

Therefore, in this battle, the White Dragon Army is the most determined in terms of military morale and victory, which is their greatest advantage.

Seeing that the official army is gradually retreating, it is bound to make new tactical deployments, and the real bloody battle will start next, Qian Guangyuan's reminder is also Li Zixiao's idea.

Li Zixiao looked at the opposite side fixedly, and really saw that Wu Laiyun's soldiers and horses were showing signs of mobilization.

So he nodded and said, "What the military advisor said is right, we should indeed take action."

Let's do this first, let Han Tong scatter all his scouts and strengthen the guard along the west side of the official road, I am afraid that the official cavalry will surprise us from the wilderness to the west.

Although there was a ravine in the west, it was indeed open to the west, and it was also the battlefield I had chosen for the cavalry to deal with the cavalry.

If you find that the official cavalry really appears in the western wilderness, let Luo Chao and Qi Wei's cavalry team attack, be sure to let them entangle the official cavalry, and not let the official cavalry harass the right flank of our main formation.

As for our east side is Wanglongpo, the terrain is high and steep, suitable for artillery, bird gunners, and archers, but soon the officers and troops will also fight with us for it, so Wei Hong should be more careful. ”

Li Zixiao issued several military orders to his generals in a row, and it was up to his generals to implement the rest.

Half an hour later, the reprepared officers and troops continued to attack.

And this time, it is obvious that Wu Laiyun has learned a lot and does not dare to be so big anymore.

Instead, when this group of subordinates was dispatched, at the same time, the cannons in the generals were transferred to the front, and several shield carts were used to cover the cannons, and they took the lead towards the White Dragon Army formation.

And gradually approached the artillery to within 300 steps of the White Dragon Army's formation, so that these artillery pieces were enough to reach the White Dragon Army's formation.

The attacking group of soldiers followed behind these cannons, slowly marching in the direction of the official road, and became much more cautious than the last two swaggering rushes.

The proportion of sword players in the military formation was increased, and at the same time, several temporarily modified shield carts were also carried out, and they followed the artillery step by step, gradually advancing towards the official road.

After seeing this attack by the official army, the White Dragon Army immediately began to get nervous, and began to mobilize according to Li Zixiao's order.

According to the topography of Wanglongpo, Li Zixiao ordered Sun Dazhuang to transfer the two Furlong machine guns to the No. 2 gun position they had selected before.

From there, they were able to launch more effective attacks on the attacking officers and soldiers, and gave up firing at the officers' artillery.

At the same time, the three guns were moved to the front and placed on both sides of the road, so that the three guns could be directly aimed at the officers and soldiers who came up.

At the same time, the troops were sent to build a simple bunker for the three guns at a rapid speed, so as not to be injured by the artillery of the officers and soldiers on the opposite bank.

Li Zixiao's emphasis on carrying a gun is not lower than that of a tiger squatting gun.

To some extent, Li Zixiao prefers to use this kind of lifting gun.

The reason is very simple, although the gun barrel is thinner, the body tube is longer, and the number of ammunition is not as good as the tiger squat gun, but this guy is more flexible and more convenient to carry than the tiger squat gun.

The firing range is also much higher than that of the short and thick Tiger Squat Cannon, and the accuracy is also higher, which is somewhat similar to the combat defense guns of later generations, and can be directly used in the forefront of combat.

The power of providing precision strikes for the army is not too small, especially in a narrow area, where a few guns are concentrated and fired at the same time, and the killing effect is quite good.

So this time, the only three guns in General Li Zixiao were used in front of the battle, just to block the official road.

The battle just now also fully proved the power of this kind of gun-raising, and the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties under the first wave of gun-raising.

The two fierce attacks of the officers and soldiers were both knocked down by these three limited number of raised guns, knocking down the sword and shield soldiers in the front row, exposing the officers and soldiers behind to the fire of the birdmen.

Therefore, Li Zixiao also attaches great importance to the protection of these three guns.

Looking at the several artillery bunkers dug by Li Zixiao on the Wanglong Slope in advance, it can be seen that Li Zixiao attaches great importance to the protection of heavy long-range firepower such as guns and artillery.

On Wu Laiyun's side, it is obvious that the war thinking of cold weapons is also aware of the importance of artillery for field warfare.

The accompanying army was also equipped with a lot of artillery, but this time, because the Fengyang official army had just been newly built, there was a shortage of artillery, so Wu Laiyun was barely allowed to gather the artillery.

In terms of artillery firepower, the White Dragon Army did not lose to the officers and soldiers for the first time.

When the gunners of the official army advanced their artillery to a distance of three hundred paces from the White Dragon Army's formation, they did not dare to continue to advance.

Instead, they hurriedly used the shield cart to cover their figures, and hurriedly began to load ammunition.

After a while, he opened fire on the White Dragon Army with a bang, firing solid iron bullets one after another.

The artillery shells fell on the ground one after another, causing the earth and rocks to fly wildly, and from time to time raising clouds of smoke and dust, at this time, the artillery fire of the official army was enough to pose a threat to the white dragon army's formation.

Li Zixiao had to give an order to let the White Dragon soldiers disperse and line up, otherwise if they were really smashed into the array by a projectile, it was estimated that a large number of them would be killed.

But there was still a solid iron bullet that hit the two unlucky White Dragon sergeants, and they died on the spot.

When the officers and soldiers saw that the cannons on their side were roaring one after another, the earth and rocks flew wildly, and the bandits also scattered and retreated, hiding.

The generals of the officer and army immediately shouted, pushed their shield carts, and began to accelerate towards the White Dragon Army.

Seeing that the official army was about to approach the trench in front of the White Dragon Army, and there were less than two hundred steps, Li Zixiao also waved his hand and ordered: "Pass the order down and let the Furlong machine fire."

If an officer or soldier rushes within 80 paces, raise his gun and tiger squat cannon, and then open fire. ”

The three furlong cannons immediately roared, and clouds of smoke rose from the mound.

Under the recoil, the gun wagons jumped violently and moved backwards a distance of several feet.

Immediately, Sun Dazhuang's broken gong-like roar sounded: "Retire the son, clear the chamber, change the son, everyone hurry up for Lao Tzu!" ”

A few shells whistled out of the barrel, but unfortunately, the White Dragon Army's first round of firing accuracy was really not flattering.

Of the three shells, none of them landed in the formation of the officers and soldiers, and all the shells fell around this group of officers and soldiers, and they were not able to kill or injure the officers and soldiers at all, let alone break the shield carts of the officers and soldiers.

Moreover, the ground of the land where the shell landed was a little soft, and after the shell landed, it suddenly fell into the soil and could not bounce on the ground one after another, so the power weakened a lot, which made Li Zixiao shake his head and be very dissatisfied.

"Tell Sun Dazhuang that if he still achieves this virtue after another round of firing, he will stop as the captain of the artillery team, and Lao Tzu will be replaced immediately." Li Zixiao turned his head and roared at the herald.

The herald immediately rushed to Sun Dazhuang's position and loudly passed Li Zixiao's words to Sun Dazhuang.

After hearing Li Zixiao's words conveyed by the herald, Sun Dazhuang was very faceless.

He kicked aside a gunner who was aiming, and scolded, "It's all a bunch of fools."

It's only less than 200 steps, you fucking fight like this, let Lao Tzu be scolded by the big boss in vain, get out of the way, and watch Lao Tzu aim at you. ”

Sun Dazhuang lay on the cannon body, with the help of the light door and the front sight on the Furlong cannon, he carried the cannon body and took a careful aim, personally grabbed the red-hot iron drill, and stabbed it into the fire door of Zi Gong.

With a bang, the Furlong cannon jumped violently, and a puff of smoke erupted.

Looking at the direction of the group of officers and soldiers in the distance, the shield cart at the front collapsed to the ground even though the debris flew around, and several officers and soldiers pushing the shield cart were also shaken away.

"If you see it, you will bombard Lao Tzu like this, and smash those shield carts first." Sun Dazhuang was very satisfied with his cannon, turned his head and scolded his subordinates.

The artillery of the White Dragon Army returned fire, causing them a lot of casualties, although these officers and soldiers were afraid, but they did not retreat in the shouting of the officers next to them.

Under the officer's order, the rest of the shield carts gathered together again, protected the generals behind, and continued to push the shield carts, rushing towards the White Dragon Army.

The shells of both sides whizzed and staggered in the air, constantly falling on each other's heads, but unfortunately the shells on both sides were solid shells, and the power was really limited.

In addition to hitting the other party right now, the killing effect is not good, and after a few rounds of bombardment, the White Dragon Army only lost ** people.

And no matter how Sun Dazhuang accelerated the speed of firing the artillery, he only defeated the shield carts of the three officers and soldiers, and the damage to the officers and soldiers was not much, and it still could not stop the pair of officers and soldiers from advancing forward.

Li Zixiao's face became solemn, the caution of this group of officers and soldiers greatly reduced the power of the White Dragon Army's artillery, and after a few rounds of artillery were released, the damage to the enemy was limited.

"At such a long distance, the accuracy of the artillery is also limited, let Sun Cannon stop, and let these officers and soldiers wait, and after the guns and tiger squat cannons are fired, let Zhou Dazhu's left flank army come forward and solve this group of officers and soldiers."

Li Zixiao saw that Sun Dazhuang's artillery bombardment did not play much role in the advance of these officers and troops, and adjusted his orders in time.

Although the White Dragon Army had some ammunition in stock, their ammunition reserves were consumed too quickly, so that nearly half of the ammunition they brought with them was quickly consumed.

Therefore, if he continues to fight like this regardless of the cost, it is estimated that it will not be long before his gunpowder reserves will bottom out.

He had to limit the consumption of ammunition, and when the ammunition was exhausted, his artillery for façade became decorations.

The officers and soldiers did not have this problem, although they did not have a lot of artillery, but their ammunition was much more sufficient than that of the White Dragon Army.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers did not stop firing from the beginning, and the officers and soldiers who operated the artillery reloaded vigorously, lit the artillery one after another, and smashed the shells at the White Dragon Army as if they were not paying for money.

Li Zixiao had to give an order to let the White Dragon Army, which did not fight, retreat some distance, leaving the five hundred men and horses led by Zhou Dazhu to stay.

When the charging officers and soldiers saw the White Dragon Army, they no longer fired artillery to intercept them, and the officers and soldiers immediately cheered.

"The bandits are out of shells, brothers! Rush over to avenge the dead brothers.

Lord Wu said, kill a bandit, reward three taels of silver, kill a bandit leader, reward ten taels of silver, kill the leader of the bandits, reward a hundred taels of silver. Kill! ”

An officer pulled his neck and shouted in the middle of the formation, and when the officers and soldiers heard the strength, they accelerated their speed and advanced forward.

These reward conditions are indeed what Wu Laiyun said, in order to stimulate the spirit of the officials and soldiers at this time, as for whether they are honored after the war, let's talk about it at that time.
