Guide. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Cihou, the saint entrusted the Cihou with the affairs of the north, how can the Cihou be so hasty, return to the city of Gaochishen, the people in the city are even more united, as long as the door is closed and the demon will not be able to fall, Cihou is now giving up this perfect strategy and the whole army out of the city to fight a decisive battle, if there is a mistake, Henan is not guaranteed, Cihou He Yan to the saint, look at the Cihou three thoughts!"

In front of Binyang Gate, Hou Sui stopped Liu Fangliang's war horse and said righteously.

A group of gentry behind him hurriedly chimed in.

The Dog Emperor's army has arrived.

But Liu Fangliang was not ready to close the city gate and use the city of Guide to defend it, but to go out of the city with 60,000 troops in the city and fight to the death with the dog emperor. This is the Suiyang City where Zhang Xun Xu Yuan defended half of the Tang Dynasty, not using this iron bucket-like city wall to defend it, but going out of the city to fight the dog emperor who did not taste defeat in the field, this is not self-defeating, it doesn't matter if he dies, what should the gentry in this city do? He took all his troops out, and in case of defeat, the gentry of the city would wait for the diao people who had been eager to try it for a long time.

Liu Fangliang rode on the horse and glanced at him with a smile, and Hou Sui's eyes were slightly flustered.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Fangliang urged him to step forward.

"Old thing, do you want to take the people of this city as hostages? I'm not as you want, I'm loyal to King Chuang, but not to you dogs, don't think I don't know where your son went, to be honest, I'm going to get lucky to win Chongzhen, and I'll kill your whole family when I come back, if I lose, I'll wait underground to see you being cut by a thousand knives. ”

When walking past Hou Sui, Liu Fangliang said in a low voice.

Hou Sui's face changed.

"Then the old man is waiting for Cihou to triumph!"

He took a deep breath and said with a sneer.

"Then let's all wait!"

Liu Fangliang said.

Immediately after that, he laughed loudly and rode out of Guide City, and behind him, 60,000 troops, including 10,000 elites of the Shun army, continued to walk out of this Binyang Gate.

Looking at Liu Fangliang's back, Hou Sui, who had a gloomy face, turned around and ran to his mansion without hesitation, just when Liu Fangliang led the army to line up outside the city, he also took a carriage with a batch of gold and silver from his family and the mansion, and appeared in front of the Gongyang Gate to the south.

But unfortunately the gates are closed.

"Master, what should I do?"

The butler in the car said in a panic.

Hou Sui lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at the countless idlers holding their arms on the street outside, the latter was looking at his carriage with a prey gaze, and the dozens of house slaves guarding the carriage were trembling, obviously frightened.

"Go to the Gate!"

Hou Sui immediately said.

The carriage hurriedly turned on the street, but those idlers didn't know who shouted, and then everyone pounced on his carriage, several house slaves were still loyal, and slashed over the two with knives, and then escorted several carriages to turn, but the last carriage was stopped, Hou Sui watched his daughter-in-law screaming and being dragged out, in the scramble of countless hands, the jewelry on the head and the gorgeous clothes on the body disappeared in an instant, and even the people disappeared in the next moment.

He wiped a cold sweat.

However, at this moment, a lit cart was suddenly pushed out from the alley on the right, and the raging flames instantly blocked the street that was not too wide, and the coachman hurriedly reined in the horse, and then jumped out of the carriage without hesitation and got under the car, and almost at the same time the surging crowd behind him suddenly overwhelmed Hou Shangshu's convoy.

At this time, Liu Fangliang had already completed the formation.

10,000 cavalry, 20,000 shield infantry, and 30,000 miscellaneous infantry spread across the green field.

Opposite him was Yang Feng's three infantry brigade-level line columns, each brigade was three battalions and four columns in front, one battalion was in reserve, each brigade had eight four-and-a-half-pound guns in the front line, and twelve nine-pound guns in the rear, forming a large line column, and the rear of this large line column was an artillery brigade, with thirty-six nine-pound guns and thirty-six twenty-pound mortars lined up near the Chinese army. On the right flank of the artillery brigade is the 1st cavalry brigade in array, and on the left flank is the heavy cavalry brigade in the same array, 8,000 cavalry and 12,000 infantry artillery guards the artillery brigade, and the entire formation is close to 2,000 meters.

After the two sides finished arraying, Yang Feng rode a rhinoceros in costume, and slowly stepped forward with a giant shield in one hand and a four-meter Mo knife in the other.

Liu Fangliang also stepped forward.

The two stopped twenty meters apart.

"I will give you a chance, and those who lay down their arms and surrender will be pardoned!"

Yang Feng said.

"Your Majesty, loyal ministers don't matter to the two masters, even if Your Majesty is sage, but since the contemptible people are already the ministers of the king, they dare not have to lose the king, and there is only one battle with Your Majesty!"

Liu Fangliang lowered his head and said.

"In that case, I will complete the whole thing."

Yang Feng said.

Liu Fangliang lowered his head again, urging the war horse to retreat a few steps back, and then turned around and returned to the formation.

And Yang Feng glanced at the Shun army on the opposite side, and also turned around and returned to the rear of the formation, this battle is the first real battle since the formation of the Dangkou army, and it is also a good opportunity to hone the soldiers, he will not shoot until the situation is critical, in fact, he does not think that he has a chance to shoot, there is really the will to fight, I am afraid that the elite cavalry of the 10,000 old battalions of the Shun army, the rest can be regarded as giving Liu Fangliang face if they can line up and not run.

He returned to the back of the formation, and then Liu Fangliang launched an attack on the opposite side.

Yang Feng guessed correctly.

Liu Fangliang, who also understood this, simply led 10,000 elites of the old battalion who followed him out of Guanzhong to rush straight to the Ming army line, but none of the 50,000 infantry in the array behind him stepped forward, among those infantry, those former court generals who were unwilling to fate shouted and whipped and even slashed with knives in despair, but the infantry in those formations were still indifferent, and even in some places, the enraged soldiers simply dragged the generals off their horses, and then surrounded them and punched and kicked.

They were like watching a big drama that had nothing to do with them, watching the elite of the 10,000 Shun army rush towards the Ming army.

"Let's shoot!"

Yang Feng said with emotion.

Suddenly, one hundred and thirty-two cannons in the Ming army roared at the same time, and the whistling of solid bullets and flowering bullets instantly sounded.

The next moment, there was an explosion of fire in the charging Shun army, and blood and stumps and broken arms were scattered and splashed in the firelight.

But they didn't stop.

The cavalry torrent with Liu Fangliang as the vanguard was desperately accelerating in the artillery fire, all the cavalry were roaring on their horses, they were holding spears in one hand and controlling the war horses in the other, and the flower shells were still exploding in the middle of them, the force of the explosion and the flying shrapnel were harvesting their lives unscrupulously, and the solid bullets were also constantly crashing out of a piece of flesh and blood in their middle of them.

But none of the dozens of cannons behind them fired, and the artillerymen watched in silence as they continued to fall under fire.

Soon, after leaving countless corpses behind, the cavalry of the Shun army entered the range of the Ming army.

"Fire!"

……

The roars of countless officers continued to sound on the Ming army's formation, and nearly eight thousand infantry on the front line pulled the trigger at the same time, and in the densely sprayed flames, nearly eight thousand bullets shot at the Shun army like a storm, and countless people fell off their horses in the vanguard of the galloping cavalry, but the cavalry behind them were still moving forward, and soon they began to hit the Ming army's formation,

Yang Feng waved his hand.

Overhead, the signal bearer waved the signal flag in his hand.

"Forward!"

In the middle of the heavy cavalry brigade on the left flank of the formation, the brigade commander Chen Zhong pointed forward with a straight sword imitating the British army's 1908 cavalry knife and shouted.

The cuirassiers on both sides of him were densely packed side by side, and at the same time hung down the huge spears in their hands, which were like moving walls to control the horses to move forward slowly, and then they began to accelerate, countless spears with small pennants shook with the gallop of the war horses, and countless horses' hooves trampled the ground with a thunderous sound.

This cavalry that Yang Feng spent more than a year training is the first time to go to the battlefield, and even many cavalry on the horse are like this, except for the officers who followed him in the past with the brocade guards, the rest of the soldiers are all recruited from the righteous people, this cavalry does not need everyone's superb riding skills, what they need is just discipline, many young farmers who can't even ride horses before, have been completely disciplined under a year of non-stop training and whip education.

At this time, they are like machines that keep moving forward.

The cavalry of the Shun army immediately split up to meet the battle, and the two galloping cavalry collided head-on in the blink of an eye.

The most spectacular scene of the Cold Weapon Age was staged in this way.

At a relative speed of nearly 100 kilometers, he collided with a spear of the Shun army, and instantly picked off the Shun army in front of him like a rolling steamroller, and then the walls of the cavalry kept crushing past them, like a torrent that destroyed everything, and kept moving forward.

The Ming infantry in front of the Shun army had already begun to meet the cavalry, and the soldiers who had no time to reload simply set up their bayonet swingers, relying on the densely arranged formation, like a resilient wall blocking the cavalry, and the soldiers who completed the reloading behind them, then pulled the trigger at a close distance, as the back row of the reserve, also began to quickly replenish to a relatively critical position, behind them was all the soldiers of the emperor's army who retreated in the face of the fierce cavalry, All of them were stubbornly holding back the Shun cavalry.

At the same time, on the positions of the rear artillery brigades, all the artillery pieces also concentrated on bombarding the back of the forward of the Shun army, forming a split with dense shells, while the artillery of the brigade in the front line was all replaced with scattered shells, and they continued to bombard at a distance of 200 meters at a speed of two rounds per minute.

The cavalry of the Shun army, who had never been able to break through the bayonet jungle of the Ming infantry, fell in pieces.

The heavy cavalry brigade, which had completed the first round of charge, was once again in formation, and the cuirassiers, who had broken their spears, all drew their cavalry swords and leaned out on their galloping horses, and turned their whole body into a spike of high speed forward as they had been training for a year, and soon once again collided with the cavalry of the Shun army from the flank.

By this time, the Shun army had already begun to rout.
