The monarch's father was angry in his heart, slapped his palm on the rock table, and roared: "These barbarian businessmen are timid and afraid of death, and they cower in battle, and they are all unreliable.

Hua Bushi said slowly: "Do you think that after today, there will be a chance to settle accounts with them?"

Although they are cowering now, as long as the monarch stabilizes the situation, they will naturally obey orders, do you think that the Iron Guard Battalion will be like these mercenary businessmen!"

The men and horses of the "Black Wind Banner" and the "Tiger Han Rabbit Department" are all private troops raised by merchants, and they all belong to a group of rabble, while the Iron Guard Battalion is the personal guard of the Qing Emperor, and the purpose of their trip is very clear, just to rob the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally they will not retreat easily.

Hua Bushi nodded and said, "Yes, if the Iron Guard Battalion can defeat Young Master Ben's Thunderbolt Battalion, the 'Black Wind Banner' and the 'Tiger Han Rabbit Division' will obey your orders again, but I don't think they have a chance!"

From the very beginning of this battle, the eldest young master was at an absolute disadvantage, and he had been struggling to support, waiting for the Thunderbolt Battalion to come to help, and now the opportunity for reversal has finally arrived.

On the west side of the valley, in front of the cliff was an open gravel field, and the Iron Guard Camp and the Thunderbolt Camp were separated by a hundred feet, forming a confrontation.

Both men and horses were dressed in black armor, wearing long, broad sabers, and carrying muskets in their hands. At first glance, the formation of the Iron Guard Battalion was even more majestic, firstly, their number was half greater than that of the other party, and secondly, these knights were all wearing armor, and the mounts under their crotches were also covered with leather armor.

When he was crusading against the "Fugui Alliance" in Yujing, Yang Sichang had seen the Thunderbolt Battalion, and he also knew that these "Evil Dog Sect" disciples armed with muskets were well-trained, but whether they could defeat the Iron Guard Battalion, he had no bottom in his heart. After all, the confrontation between the two armies on the battlefield is very different from the small-scale battles between the Jianghu sects, and the Iron Guard Battalion is not comparable to ordinary cavalry units.

"Command the Iron Guard Battalion, charge!" the calm and calm in the monarch's body no longer existed, and he clenched his fists and shouted loudly.

Hua Bushi said word by word: "Meng Huan, send a message to the Thunderbolt camp and annihilate the enemy's cavalry." ”

When he said this, his voice was calm and unhurried, but the order of "annihilating the enemy's horse" was full of murderous aura, and Yang Sichang, who was standing behind the eldest young master, heard it, and he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

Not long after Shi Qingzhu issued the flag order, the formation of the Iron Guard Battalion began to move, and then ran faster and faster, three hundred war horses galloped at full speed, raising a large area of flying dust, and the noise and shouting of the Jurchen knights when they charged could be heard by everyone on the bluestone platform.

At the same time as the Iron Guard Battalion began to charge, a shout came from the formation of the Thunderbolt Battalion: "All flags are here, charge in a wedge formation to encircle and kill the enemy cavalry, and not let go of a single person!"

This call was made by Simon Hitomi's internal strength, and it echoed in the valley.

"Surround and kill the enemy cavalry, and don't let anyone go!" the two hundred knights of the Thunderbolt battalion responded in unison, and the sound shook in all directions, and each of them rushed forward with the reins.

The cavalry formations of the two sides collided from both sides of the valley like two black torrents!

The Iron Guard Battalion galloped in front of the bluestone platform, and hundreds of war horses galloped with their hooves, even on the stone platform, it seemed that they could also feel the shaking of the ground. However, at this time, I saw a burst of green smoke flying up in the distance, and the sound of "crackling" came, and the twenty or thirty horsemen who rushed to the front screamed and fell down!

The knights behind were unable to regain momentum and crashed into the horses in front of them, and the charging formation of the Iron Guard Battalion was suddenly chaotic. However, the Thunderbolt battalion's charging formation was like a gust of wind, rushing from the side, and at the same time, there were clouds of green smoke surging, tongues of fire in the smoke spat wildly, countless lead bullets flew in, and more knights of the Iron Guard Battalion were shot and fell to the ground!

"What! Fifty Zhang!" the monarch stared, barely believing what he was seeing.

When the cavalry formation was 50 zhang apart, the opponent had already opened fire! When the cavalry archers of the "Huhan Rabbit Division" were attacked by surprise before, because they were far away and they were at the mouth of the mountain gorge, their line of sight was obstructed, and it was difficult to see clearly, but this time the battlefield was within 100 zhang in front of the bluestone platform, and everyone on the platform could see it clearly.

The range of ordinary muskets is only about 20 zhang, and the musket that can shoot lead bullets out of 30 zhang is already advanced, and it is more difficult to aim on horseback than on flat ground, and it is necessary to equip muskets with cavalry, and at most it can only pose a threat when it is close to the enemy 20 zhang.

However, the black-clothed knights on the other side actually fired at a distance of fifty zhang, and knocked down dozens of horsemen of the Iron Guard Battalion with one shot, which shows that the range of the muskets they are equipped with is more than twice that of ordinary muskets, and the power is so great that they can easily penetrate the armor of the Iron Guard Battalion.

Naturally, the monarch's father didn't know that in the mountains back then, the iron armor worn by the heavy cavalry under Zuo Liangyu could not block the bullets of the Thunderbolt battalion, let alone the leather armor of the Iron Guard Battalion. In the face of the musket fire of the Perak battalion, wearing armor only added to the burden, and did not play any role in protection.

The muskets in the Perak camp are now more powerful than they were back then. These muskets were not originally won from the Spanish nobleman Gongora at the Dog Fighting Tournament, but were forged after the refinement of the European Division, and they were all double-barreled, capable of firing two shots in bursts, and using special lead bullets.

The cost of casting these muskets was very expensive, each of which cost thousands of taels of silver, and if it weren't for the extremely high profits of the "Evil Dog Gate" doing ocean trade on Okura Island over the years, it would definitely not be able to equip it.

Not only has the weapons been changed, but the level of riding skills and ammunition shooting of the disciples of the Perak Camp has also been greatly improved over the years, and with the expansion of the "Evil Dog Gate", the momentum on the battlefield has also undergone essential changes, and it has become a real iron-blooded army. Compared with the first battle in Kunshan that year, the strength is more than twice as strong!

In contrast, even if the Iron Guard Battalion is also an elite cavalry, where can it compare with the Thunderbolt Battalion and other Thunderbolt Battalion, which cost countless silver taels to build and have the most advanced firearms warfare in the world?

"The flags are grouped and strangled in turns!" Ximen Hitomi shouted loudly.

The black-shirted knights of the Perak camp instantly divided into five teams, galloping around the already chaotic Iron Guard Battalion, like five sharp razors whirling, and every time they approached, several Jurchen knights fell under their horses.

The Iron Guard Battalion was also equipped with firearms, and in the chaos, many people raised their guns and fired, but they couldn't hit the disciples of the Thunderbolt Battalion on the opposite side at all, and the range of the firearms on both sides was too far apart, and the confrontation between the two armies had turned into a one-sided massacre.

Despite the disbelief, the monarch watched as more than half of the 300 Iron Guard battalions were wiped out in a single cup of tea, while the remaining 100 or so cavalry began to flee in all directions. Even the most elite troops, in such a situation where they can only be beaten and have no ability to fight back, will inevitably collapse.

Not only the monarch's father, but also Yang Sichang and Zhong Bailong, were also dumbfounded. Although Yang Sichang had also seen the Thunderbolt Battalion five years ago, he didn't expect that this war department would be so powerful now!

If they had retreated from the beginning, there might have been some opportunities to escape, but now most of the 300 knights of the Iron Guard Battalion were killed or wounded, and the encirclement of the Thunderbolt Battalion had been formed, and it was too late for these knights to rush out, so they could only scream and fall down one by one.

At the same time that the Perak camp was besieging the Iron Guard Battalion, the two Hu cavalry on the east side of the valley also began to move rapidly down the slope, of course, they did not come to support the Iron Guard Battalion, but rushed straight to the exit of the mountain gorge.

The "Black Wind Banner" and the "Huhan Rabbit Division" had not moved before, just to watch the battle situation in the valley, if the Iron Guard Battalion could defeat the cavalry that appeared in the sky in one fell swoop, they would obey the orders of the monarch to attack the Han people in front of them. However, now that the Iron Guard Battalion has been defeated, where do they still have the slightest fighting spirit?

can easily defeat the Iron Guard Battalion, the combat power of that group of knights armed with muskets is really terrifying, if you don't take advantage of the fact that you can flee now, and wait until the other party finishes cleaning up the Iron Guard Battalion, it will not be so easy to run away!

"Summoning the Yu Jue Department, pursue the enemy cavalry!"

The disciples of the Great Sect and the Hundred Brothers have no horses, and only the cavalry of Yu Jue has the ability to pursue the enemy in the various divisions on the hillside.

Yu Jue waved his army forward. Previously, he had suffered a lot when chasing the Mongol cavalry, but now the "Tiger Han Rabbit Division" and the "Black Wind Banner" were all bent on escaping from the valley as soon as possible, and there was no time to return fire.

In a matter of moments, more than 1,000 men and horses of the "Huhan Rabbit Division" and the "Black Wind Banner" had scrambled to escape from the mouth of the mountain gorge, and a knight from the Iron Guard Battalion was also knocked down by the musket bombardment. The three hundred elite knights of the Jurchen tribe were completely annihilated under the siege of the Perak camp, and none of them were able to escape.

On the bluestone platform, the monarch's face turned pale, until now he still couldn't believe that the three hundred knights of the Iron Guard Battalion who relied on him would be so vulnerable, and he had already taken advantage of it, and he thought that he would win this battle, but it was completely reversed in this cup of tea!

"Luo Wei, the 'Black Wind Banner' and the Mongols have fled the valley, the Iron Guard Camp has been destroyed, and the gamble we set, can you admit defeat now?" Hua Bushi asked in a deep voice.

The Thunderbolt battalion has eliminated the enemy cavalry and has surrounded the bluestone platform, and the Da Zheng Division, Bai Long Xing, and Yu Jue's official cavalry on the hillside have also driven over, and there are no more men and horses in the hands of the monarch's father, so he can't admit defeat if he wants to.

After standing for a moment, the monarch poured a glass of wine with a trembling hand, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Okay, this gentleman miscalculated for a while, I didn't expect that there would be such an elite musketeer under the command of Young Master Hua, even if I lost!"
