The sudden rain of bullets shrouded the crowd attacking head-on, not only the displaced people on the battlefield were caught off guard, but also Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and other leaders who were watching the battle in the rear were also like being hit on the head.

Zhang Xianzhong opened his mouth wide: "Thief, your mother, these small cannons just shot are not this kind of cannons, they are all iron balls, why did they change their tricks again?" ”

Gao Yingxiang angrily drew his knife and slashed hard at the trunk of a tree next to him, the blade was deeply embedded in the trunk, the tiger's mouth was numb, his mouth was full of bitterness, and he was speechless for a while. The enemy's cannons and small cannons are extremely exquisite, each with its own strength, relying on human lives alone, I am afraid that it will be piled up into a sea of corpses and blood in order to get close to the opponent's camp.

He looked up at the team in front of him that was staggering forward in the rain of bullets, gritted his teeth, turned his head and said to Zhang Xianzhong: "It seems that it is not possible to use the old battalion alone, relying on these people alone, it is likely to fall short, and in the end everyone will die in vain......

Zhang Xianzhong was taken aback: "King Chuang, what nonsense are you talking about?" It's not enough to fill in the big army, but also to catch the old battalion? If the old camp is exhausted, you and I will never recover! ”

The reason why these leaders of the displaced people have been able to fight repeatedly under the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, and who have been beaten to the point of being beaten to a few hundred, can make a comeback is that they have a group of elite veterans who have survived large and small battles. These veterans are the capital of their lives, just like the families of officers and generals, who cannot be used when they are idle, and they are the last hole cards in their hands, and they will not be played until the last resort.

Gao Yingxiang said loudly: "When is it, are you still thinking about gains and losses?" If we can't break through the encirclement of this group of officers and soldiers today, we will have only one way to retreat. Do you want to rush over in one go, or do you want to take these remnants of the soldiers to wade through the mountains and rivers to turn around and fight Hong Chengchou? ”

Zhang Xianzhong hesitated. Gao Yingxiang was right, either give up the attack from the beginning, simply withdraw from the battlefield neatly, and return to the Chuzhou-Luzhou route and Hong Chengchou to the end, or fight this battle to the end. If we hesitate any longer, the casualties will only get bigger and bigger, and if we still can't break through the blockade in the end, all the efforts in front of us will be in vain for the blind man to light the lamp, and people will die in vain.

He scratched the back of his head irritably, and said to himself, "Thief, mother! These melon peels are really deadly......"

The cannon fire in front continued to ring, and the screams of the homeless as they were hit by the shotguns could be heard from a thousand paces away. Gao Yingxiang anxiously urged: "Hurry up and get an idea, you can't say a word!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong was urged, rode on the horse and went around in a few circles, and finally gritted his teeth, stopped by holding the reins, looked up and said, "It's up to you!" ”

Gao Yingxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone softened a little: "Stay for you, your brigade will go up first, attract firepower, and then the old battalions of the two families will go up together, avoid the front with the strongest artillery firepower, and detour from both sides." I looked, and there were cannons only on the front facing our side, not on the sides, only the kind of small cannons you said. ”

Isn't this a copy of Sun Kewang's attack on the front just now, and Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi's attack on both sides? It's just that the number of troops invested is several times higher. Zhang Xianzhong sighed: "That's it." ”

The frontal battlefield was full of artillery fire, and the charging homeless people were tortured to death by several rounds of shotguns, and the momentum of the impact stalled. As the commander of the battlefield, Wei Lianheng did not pay too much attention to the displaced troops who were being abused by his own artillery fire in front of him, but held a telescope to stare at the position of the Chinese army of the Liukou, he was paying attention to the opponent's every move, so as to make judgments and decisions according to the opponent's actions at the first time.

In the shot, the "Zhang" flag shook and began to move forward slowly. Wei Lianheng was stunned, and quickly glanced at both sides, and found that Zhang Xianzhong's brigade began to advance with the swing of the flag, and it seemed that a group of new troops were going to be thrown into the battlefield.

Wei Lianheng put down his binoculars and looked to the side, and the soldiers of the two battalions in front of him were maintaining combat readiness and waiting for battle. In the end, whether these thousands of people can block the full force of ten times the enemy's blow, he has no bottom in his heart, so let the battle result prove it.

"Bang bang bang", three more cannon shots, Zhang Xianzhong's army also followed behind Gao Yingxiang's men and horses, shouting and joining the battlefield. In the noise ahead, with the help of the cover of the charging team, the old battalions of the two families quietly gathered together and prepared for the attack.

The artillery battalion halfway up the mountain stood high and saw far away, and was the first to discover the movement of Zhang Xianzhong's army, the roar of field artillery sounded again, and the huge cannonballs flew over the heads of the warring parties, drawing a falling arc, falling into the middle of Zhang Xianzhong's army, plowing out a blood groove, and flesh and blood flew sideways.

Seeing that the friendly troops began to come to reinforcements, the morale of the displaced people who were beaten to ashes by the shotgun was greatly boosted, and the remaining courage in their bodies was summoned, and they began the final sprint with shouting, at this time it was the interval between the mountain artillery firing, and the displaced people took advantage of this opportunity to rush to the front of the Qiong naval team, and the closest distance between the two sides was less than a hundred meters.

After firing the last shots and firing the last shotguns, the gunners, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy was disrupted by the shotguns, calmly turned around, bypassed the infantry, and ran to the rear. The infantrymen, armed with rifles, under the command of the officers, stepped forward in unison, blocked the mountain guns and the retreating gunners, raised their rifles, and aimed at their opponents.

Just when the frontal team rushed to less than a hundred meters of the array of the Qiong Navy, the displaced people on both sides also crossed the rugged and bushy roads on both sides, and came to the temporary positions arranged by the Qiong Navy on both sides with difficulty. At the same time, Zhang Xianzhong's army quickly approached the friendly forces in front under the fire of field artillery, preparing to launch a second round of assault. The exiled army poured out, and the Qiong navy was once again attacked on three sides, but the scale of the enemy army was not comparable to the three brothers of Sun Kewang just now. The battalion artillery companies on both sides also opened fire, and the situation on the battlefield instantly entered a white-hot state.

After a lot of hardships to get within a hundred paces of the opponent's array, the surviving homeless people seemed to see hope, gritted their teeth, spread their feet and ran.

At this moment, a hurried military horn sounded, which was an order for the whole army to open fire. All the infantry pulled the trigger. Suddenly there was a loud gunshot, thick smoke rose everywhere, and the rejoicing homeless people were shot one after another and fell to the ground, they did not expect that after experiencing the baptism of light and heavy artillery, they would have to accept the test of the bird gun at close range. Although these birds are not as powerful as cannons, they are far more frequent than cannons.

For these displaced people, the road to the enemy array never seemed so difficult.
