Gao Yingxiang in the rear found that Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses suddenly stopped advancing, at first he thought that he had encountered an obstacle such as a river or a mountain, so he slowed down the march, and he didn't care, after all, the march of tens of thousands of troops of the coalition army was not a simple matter, and he also carried a lot of loot, and climbing mountains and wading through rivers was also a big burden. The www.biquge.info ordered his subordinates to stand by for the time being, and then continue to move forward when the front was clear.

But this wait is half an hour, Gao Yingxiang gradually became anxious, what the hell is this Zhang Xianzhong? I was about to send someone to the front to ask, when a loud sound of "boom boom" came, Gao Yingxiang's scalp was numb, this was the sound of a cannon!

Thinking of the previous disappearance of Tanma for no reason, Gao Yingxiang concluded that something big had happened! Zhang Xianzhong's more than 20,000 men and horses, even if they encounter a small group of officers and soldiers, they can directly run over them, and they will not be delayed for so long, and there are not many officers and soldiers in Anhui who can fight, let alone have artillery -- you must know that from Luzhou, Anqing, Hezhou, to Chuzhou, there are few decent cannons in the capitals of each state, let alone in the field.

He didn't wait to send someone to find out the news slowly, and directly patted his horse through the crowd to see what was going on.

Several soldiers rode horses to clear the way in front of them, shouting: "Get out of the way, the king is coming!" The crowd in front of them all recognized King Chuang, and quickly separated a way for them to pass.

Through the long convoy of gold and silver cloth and the dense crowd, Gao Yingxiang came to the front of the army. There was no crowd to block the view, and the eyes suddenly opened up.

Before Gao Yingxiang could find Zhang Xianzhong to ask what was going on, he was stunned by everything in front of him. I saw a mile ahead, and everywhere I could see was dense corpses, rivers of blood flowing, and on both sides there was a group of people running back in embarrassment, as if they had lost the battle.

Further ahead, a small hill that was not too high stood up, just blocking the way of the army's advance, and thousands of officers and soldiers occupied the top of the hill and put on a posture for war, and it seemed that this was the culprit.

Gao Yingxiang's heart became heavy, it was not a good kind to make Zhang Xianzhong's army of more than 20,000 people deflated, but where did this group of officers and soldiers come from? He rode his horse slowly to the Chinese army and found Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong saw him and greeted him: "King Chuang, you are here." There was a hint of frustration in his tone that could not be concealed.

Since Gao Yingxiang joined forces with him, he fought from Xingyang, Henan Province to Yizheng, Jiangsu, destroying cities and villages along the way, and never saw the conceited and arrogant Zhang Xianzhong have such a look, and couldn't help asking: "What is the sacredness that made you touch the nail too?" ”

"the thief, I don't know where these melon peels come from!" Zhang Xianzhong said hatefully, "Suddenly appeared on this mountain, and I couldn't go around, Lao Tzu sent 7,000 people up, and I was beaten back in one shot!" ”

Gao Yingxiang's heart tightened, and he asked: "Even if Cao Wenzhao is here, it is impossible to beat 7,000 people with such a little effort?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong said angrily: "It would be nice if he did it with a real knife and a real gun like Cao Wenzhao, and Lao Tzu would lose and understand." These melon skins are bombarded, like landslides and ground cracks, and they can't get close to ......."

At this time, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi withdrew with the remnants of the soldiers, and they didn't care about greeting Gao Yingxiang, and gasped and said to Zhang Xianzhong: "Father-in-law, this battle is not easy to fight. Their cannon is too powerful, there is no cannon on the side, but there is a small cannon, the speed of the cast, almost catching up with the speed of the officers and soldiers, we can't get close to the pile of human lives......"

Zhang Xianzhong listened and said to Gao Yingxiang: "Did you hear it, King Chuang?" On the front is a cannon that can hit a few miles away, and Sun Kewang led 3,000 people who were all disabled by the cannons, and some small cannons appeared on the side...... We've never met such officers and soldiers? ”

Gao Yingxiang frowned, he had indeed never seen this kind of artillery-based way. Cao Wenzhao under Hong Chengchou is the most difficult general he has ever met, but he is also fighting with a knife and a gun, although the exile army generally loses more than wins when it encounters him, it is always within the scope of understanding. How can this kind of battle be fought when it is bombarded and cannot get close?

Seeing that Gao Yingxiang was silent, Zhang Xianzhong suggested: "Or, let's go back?" This group of officers and soldiers is too strange to figure out their path, and it is not cost-effective to waste troops here. ”

"No, if you retreat at this time, not to mention the low morale, it will also consume the physical strength of the brothers in vain, and where will you go after retreating? Then follow the road from Chuzhou and Hezhou all the way to the west? Doesn't that meet with Hong Chengchou? When a tired army encounters a pack of tigers and wolves, it will definitely be defeated! Gao Yingxiang rejected his proposal without even thinking about it.

"What then? Could it be that this group of officers and soldiers is easy to fight? Zhang Xianzhong shouted. He almost blurted out, this route is your choice, only this moth will come out, if you listen to Lao Tzu's Huainan, through the mountain, Fuyang into Henan, there will be no such trouble.

Gao Yingxiang carefully observed the Qiuyu Mountain on the opposite side, and said slowly: "This group of people is powerful in artillery, but I still want to touch their bottom line, as long as I find the weak point and defeat it in one fell swoop, the front will be flat." ”

Zhang Xianzhong shook his head again and again: "Lao Tzu lost his troops and generals, and even Sun Kewang was folded in it, I want to test you to go, but Lao Tzu is not going." ”

Gao Yingxiang was not annoyed: "I won't let you stand alone, wait for my people to be in front, your people to be behind, and when you have the opportunity, you will be side by side." ”

Zhang Xianzhong blinked a few times: "This feeling is good." "As long as you don't let him take the lead, try it.

After the two discussed the attack routine, Gao Yingxiang turned around and went back to his troops to arrange their troops, and Zhang Xianzhong ordered the army to get out of the way and let King Chuang's soldiers and horses pass.

At this time, a group of bloody men struggled back into the formation, and a man who was supported by two men cried: "Father-in-law, the child is incompetent and cannot take this formation, but has lost most of his manpower......"

Zhang Xianzhong was quite familiar when he heard this voice, and when he looked closely, it was actually Sun Kewang, who was covered in blood, and he almost didn't recognize it. He was overjoyed and said, "Wu'er is not dead!" It's good for people to come back, and if they lose the battle, they will lose the battle, and it's not that they haven't been defeated. This gang's cannon is too evil, no wonder you. ”

Ai Nengqi and the others hurriedly stepped forward to support their brother-in-law, and the brothers all escaped death, so they couldn't help but sigh.

On the mountain of begging for rain, Xia Nan raised his binoculars to look at the battlefield, and nodded with satisfaction: "This field artillery is really powerful, Lao Lin is not bragging." Give me two more artillery battalions, and even if there are 100,000 rogues, I can fight so much that I don't even know my mother. ”

Zhu Dadian was speechless in shock for a long time, he knew that Qiong Haijun was powerful, but he didn't know that it was so powerful. If you arrive a month early, how can you lose the city and lose your land, and retreat again and again?
