Chapter 199 The artillery camp shows its power

The next day, it was finally time for the appointment. In the wilderness outside the east gate of Chuzhou, nearly 200,000 white lotus bandits and 60,000 official troops had already set up their formations. The battle was about to begin. An eagle flew past the world, opened its eagle's eyes and looked down, and saw that the wilderness was divided into two camps with tight barriers.

To the east is a tightly lined up of government troops, and the bright red battle robe seems to be a sea of ​​burning fire!

Right ahead and on the left and right wings are spearmen. Forty thousand spears pierced the sky and woven into a heart-wrenching spear forest. The spear blades reflected a cold and cold light under the sun, as if the eyes of the demon king Chiyou. The bravest and warlike veterans would shudder when they saw it, and would worry that they would be stabbed into a sieve.

Following the spearmen was the musket battalion. The 4,000 muskets were divided into four rows in front and back, forming a narrow and long formation with a width of more than 500 meters.

Behind the musket camp is the artillery battalion. Sixty large chariots carrying cannons lined up. The solid shafts were nailed to the ground with iron kilns. The sixty cannons fixed to the chariot were placed almost horizontally. The black holes were aimed at the wilderness in front. Following the cannon cart, sixty large chariots lined up, full of ammunition.

At the end of the formation were two baggage battalions. Thousands of large chariots built an insurmountable barrier, which steadily protected the official army's formation. Ten thousand baggage soldiers were waiting for the chariot with machetes. If the enemy tried to cross this barrier, they would give the enemy a head-on attack.

To the west are scattered bandits.

Li Yan indeed placed more than 100,000 elderly, weak, women and children in the backyard, shaking flags and shouting while bluffing.

Thirty thousand elites were divided into five square formations, lined up in front of the formation, with about 6,000 people in each square formation, led by Li Hu, Li Xuan, Jing Maocheng, Shanli Leopard and Yuan Shizhong. Li Yan was wearing iron armor and slowly patrolling in front of the formation. The Red Lady, wearing a fiery red outfit, rode a horse closely behind Li Yan, and behind the Red Lady were dozens of Descendants of Women.

Li Yan's eyes flashed over the rebel soldiers in front of the array, and suddenly drew their swords with their backhands and raised them high, roaring: "The main artifact of the Eighteen Sons..."

"The Eighteen Sons' Main Artifact!"

"The Eighteen Sons' Main Artifact!"

"The Eighteen Sons' Main Artifact!"

First, the Hongniangzi behind Li Yan shouted in a singular voice with dozens of women's soldiers, and then Li Hu, Li Xuan, Jing Maocheng and the rebel soldiers mingling in the bandit formation shouted. In the end, almost all the White Lotus bandits shouted in the wind. The shouts of tsunami-like storms soared into the sky, and they were about to tear apart the sky.

"ha!"

Li Yan defeated the mount under his crotch and rode his horse to gallop in front of the formation. While riding the horse, he led his sword and howled: "Zhu Ming has been angry for a long time, and the King of Breaking will win the world!"

"oh……"

"oh……"

"oh……"

"oh……"

Wherever Li Yan rode his horse, all the bandits and soldiers shouted frantically, stomping the ground with their feet, or slapping the weapons in their hands desperately. They made a noise that was suffocating. The soldiers of the government and soldiers thousands of meters away were shocked and their eardrums were scattered.

Seeing that the enthusiasm of the rebel soldiers had been completely mobilized, Li Yan suddenly turned his horse's head, raised his sword to the east, and then slashed hard. He roared to the sky: "Attack..."

"Ao ha!"

"Wow!"

Amid the shouts of the sky and the earth, the enthusiastic White Lotus bandits were like a flood that broke the dike and swept towards the direction pointed by Li Yan Jianfeng.

In front of the official army.

A grim smile suddenly flashed across Wang Pu's face. Li Yan was still playing psychological warfare?

Just because of this group of mobs, I want to scare my 60,000 official troops away? It’s really a delusion!

"ha!"

Wang Pu rode his horse and galloped past the formation. When he ran to the corner of the formation, he suddenly pulled the reins. The mount under his crotch was neighing and suddenly stood up. He kicked two times on the spot and turned to face forward. Lu Liu, who was riding the horse closely behind Wang Pu, held up the flag in his hand high in the sky. The old and broken military flag had already spread in the wind.

The eyes of the sixty thousand soldiers gathered on the military flag in unison!

At this time, you can see the difference between the new recruits and veterans. More than 10,000 veterans who came from Datong had a firm look and a cold face. They ignored the thieves sweeping in front of them. This was definitely not pretending to be calm. They really didn't take this group of White Lotus thieves seriously!

However, the 50,000 new recruits were on the battlefield for the first time. They had never seen such a terrible formation. The White Lotus bandits were still far away, and they were already a little guilty and scared. They looked around and their eyes flashed. If there weren't any veterans who were pressing the formation in the formation, the result might have been as Li Yan expected, and they had collapsed before the battle.

Wang Pu slowly pulled out his waist knife, and from the edge of the blade, the black bandits swept over like endless ants.

"Pulleyman... prepare!"

"Murders...ready!"

"Bailout camp... stand by!"

The loud shouts were accompanied by the rapid sound of horse hooves. A dozen cavalry commanders rushed out like lightning on the left side of the formation, and issued Wang Pu's military orders to each officer from left to right one after another. Each soldier. With the sound of the sound, the spearmen in the front row had already put the spears in their hands on the ground, and then lay down on the spot, and the musket team in the back row also lay down.

Because the cannons of this era are too primitive, it is difficult to calibrate the shooting elements, and Wang Pu's subordinates do not have gunners who know ballistic technology, and he himself does not know much, so he can only adopt the simplest flat-fire technology. Since it is flat-fire, the spearmen and musket teams standing in front must lie down, otherwise it is very easy to be injured by accident.

"Archive battalion...prepare!"

Another rapid sound of horse hooves galloped past the cannon camp. One hundred and twenty gunmen rushed forward and stood beside the cannon car. The light of the fire twister flashed, and sixty torches had been ignited. Just by waiting for Wang Pu's order, the gunmen would use the torches to ignite the leads on the cannon chamber without hesitation.

"Architecture Battalion... open fire!"

This time, no more commanders galloped past the artillery camp. Only the sixty officers guarding beside the artillery car waved their raised waist knives at the same time. The sixty gunners quickly ignited the leads on the barrel with torches, and then ran away to ten steps. They covered their ears and squatted on the ground.

"Shisheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshe

"Boom boom boom..."

The leads quickly ignited into the cannon chamber with blue smoke.

The next moment, sixty cannons roared almost at the same time, and balls of dazzling fireballs roared out from the gun mouth, sweeping towards the white lotus bandits swept forward with a harsh roar, crowded together, shouting and rushing forward with white lotus bandits, instantly blowing blood and flesh, and their broken limbs and bodies were sprinkled everywhere.

The solid iron bullets fired by the Fran machine cannon were like scorching subway plows. In the White Lotus bandit formation, the Pear had 40 blood marks of more than a hundred steps deep. Almost pierced the White Lotus bandits' charge formation. When the iron bullets rolled over, the White Lotus bandits were hit and their limbs were broken and their bodies were broken, and they fell to the ground.

But what is really terrifying is the Red Cannon. The blossoming bullets of the Red Cannon first opened the bandit formation like pears, and then penetrated into the bandit formation and then exploded. The sky was flying and fragmented to form a barrage of dozens of steps in a radius. The bandits enveloped them were either dead or injured. It was absolutely unfortunate.

The charge formation of the White Lotus bandits was so dense that the artillery fire of the government army exerted an unexpected power. In just a blink of an eye, thousands of bandit soldiers had died and more bandit soldiers were injured. They lay down in a pool of blood and let out bursts of wailing.

The White Lotus bandits who were rushing forward like a rush were immediately stunned.

Compared with direct killing, the terrifying scene of the earth shaking when the sixty cannons fired at the same time was more shocking to them. These bandits were honest farmers not long ago, and many of them had never even been to the ground dozens of miles away. On weekdays, they knew how to farm and give up their cubs. When did they see such a terrible ghost?

The White Lotus bandits were already stunned, but they were still rushing forward in a daze.

The momentum of tens of thousands of people flocking forward is not so easy to stop. Even if the people in front want to stop, the people behind will try their best to push them up. Unless the morale of the 30,000 bandits in front collapses and flees in panic, the old and weak bandits behind will also flee. Only in this way can the charge of the entire bandits be defeated.

"Run, don't stop!"

"Roar up and kill all these dog officials!"

"Brothers, just rush up and they will be done!"

Li Xuan, Jing Maocheng, the leopard in the mountain and Yuan Shizhong waved their waists and rushed to the front of the bandit formation. These guys are worthy of being powerful generals, and even the King of Hell had to walk around when they saw him. Sixty cannons shot dead thousands of bandits, but they were unable to blow them to death!

"Boom boom boom..."

Another wave of earth shook, another shocking sound of stone.

Less than a moment, the Fran machine cannon filled with the second sub-cannon fired again, and forty solid iron bullets carried a shrill whistling pear through the dense formation of the White Lotus bandits. Another terrifying scene of flesh and blood flying across the body and dancing with broken limbs and broken bodies. The White Lotus bandits suffered thousands of casualties again!

This time, Li Xuan and the leopard in the mountains were not so lucky.

Just as he turned around and urged the bandits to rush forward, the leopard was directly hit by an iron bullet in the head. A big head was instantly broken into flesh and blood. The body fell down with a loss of its head, twitching for a few times and then stopped moving soon.

Li Xuan was also hit by the iron bullet. His strong body suddenly broke into two pieces of waist. Half of his body fell to the ground with no support. Soon, Li Xuan struggled to support the ground with his hands, then reached out to hug the two still standing thighs, and burst into tears: "Legs, my legs..."

In front of the official army.

"Architecture Battalion...stop shooting!"

"The Musketee...array!"

"The first team...prepare!"

The deafening sound of cannons was still rolling and echoing between the sky and the earth. More than a dozen fast horses had already galloped out from the left side of the formation. The rapid sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky again with the loud trumpets.

The gunner guarding beside the cannon truck quickly retreated ten steps away.

The musketeers lying on the ground turned over and climbed up, and arranged the shooting queue as fast as possible. Thousands of musketeers in their heads had raised the muskets in their hands, and the black muzzles had already pointed at the front.

Right ahead, the White Lotus bandits who were scattered in their souls were still rushing forward unconsciously.

"Open fire!"

The flag in Lu Liu waved forward fiercely, and the boss standing in the middle of the shooting queue followed and waved his knives. A thousand musketeers fired. Amid the endless gunfire, the bandits rushing in the front row fell down like weeds that had been cut down. The nerves of the White Lotus bandits finally broke. In the chaos, someone shouted, turned around and ran away.

The rows of guns in the official army's musket team became the last straw to suppress the bandits. In less than a moment, the 30,000 strong bandits who were highly anticipated by Li Yan had collapsed on the whole line and fled along the left and right sides of the battlefield. The 30,000 strong bandits' escape soon triggered the subsequent collapse of more than 100,000 elderly, weak, women and children.

"well……"

In the chaos, Li Yan sighed deeply, turned around and galloped towards the Heifengling Wind.

Behind Li Yan, only his cousin Li Jun and Hong Niangzi followed closely with dozens of cavalry soldiers. As for Li Xuan, Li Hu, Jing Maocheng, the leopards in the mountains and the remaining more than a thousand subordinates, Li Yan couldn't take care of it. At this point, they could only follow their destiny.

In front of the official army, Lu Liu used his military flag to strike, and five hundred cavalry and light cavalry rushed to his side like a whirlwind.
