The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Out of contempt for the Yibu rebels, Liang Fei neither conducted enemy reconnaissance nor used a small group of cavalry to test the situation first, and headed directly towards the mound with 500 cavalry!

"Kill!"

Relying on his own bravery, wearing two layers of armor and an eight-petal round iron helmet, Liang Fei led dozens of cavalry servants to the front to act as arrows for the entire cavalry formation.

As a result, when I approached the mound for more than a hundred steps, I discovered that there were a lot of caltrops sprinkled on the ground in front of me!

Tribulus, a special defense against cavalry, appeared as early as the Warring States Period. The Ming Dynasty also had it, but it was mostly used in battles with Mongolian and Jiannu cavalry at the northern border.

Liang Fei has been suppressing bandits in the mainland for many years, and no bandit or bandit has ever used this kind of thing, so that he almost forgot the existence of iron caltrops.

The same is true for his Ming army cavalry.

At this time, their horse speed was already quite high and they couldn't stop the horse at all!

In an instant, I don’t know how many riders fell on their backs!

Even Liang Fei, a guerrilla, fell to the ground. Thanks to his good skills and wearing armor, he only suffered minor injuries.

When he looked back, his eyes were filled with tears.

I saw dozens of cavalry servants, more than half of them fell down due to a mere barbell!

Those who were closer to the front were only slightly injured, while those who were closer to the back were trampled by the cavalry that came after them, and many of them were killed on the spot!

Including the ordinary cavalry who fell down, out of the 500 cavalry, nearly a hundred were killed or injured when they came up!

Without enough time to vent his anger, Liang Fei quickly walked around to one side of the battlefield.

It was at this time that he heard a series of crisp cannon shots coming from the mound, hundreds of them!

Tiger Crouching Cannon?

The thieves actually have tiger squatting cannons!

While feeling frightened in his heart, Liang Fei quickly threw himself behind a wounded horse.

All that was heard was what sounded like a violent hailstorm.

For a while, screams could be heard endlessly, war horses neighed, and I don’t know how many officers and cavalry were knocked down by the Crouching Tiger Cannon!

Not only that, a large row of soldiers carrying blunderbuss rushed down from the mound.

Shoot at the edge of the thorns, sixty or seventy steps away from where the cavalry was thrown down and blocked!

boom···

A round of gunfire rang out, and some more officers and cavalry fell down.

The remaining cavalrymen slowed down and ran to both sides.

Liu Guangzuo and the main force of the army were still more than a mile away from the mound.

Seeing Liang Fei leading the cavalry to rush over, first inexplicably knocking down a large number of them, and then a burst of cannons and gunshots, and another batch fell down, I couldn't help but froze.

Then he became furious!

"Liang Fei's second ball! Is this what his fucking cavalry uses?!"

The cavalrymen who escaped were no more than 300, and Liu Guangzuo was so heartbroken that he bled!

That's the cavalry!

He began to suppress bandits in the early years of Chongzhen. He traveled around in various places for more than ten years and only accumulated 500 horses.

Now he was defeated by Liang Fei by less than half!

Not only that, the cavalry's defeat also caused the originally high morale of the officers and soldiers to plummet!

But Liu Guangzuo had no intention of giving up.

Although the cavalry suffered heavy losses, they finally found out that the rebels had squatting cannons and cannons.

The bandit army has it, but doesn’t Liu Guangzuo have it?

At present, the number of infantry in the official army is still nearly three times that of the rebel army, and they are on the plains. If he does not dare to fight, his past ten years will have been in vain.

"Every thousand commanders and general commanders will obey orders and besieged in five groups - the thieves and soldiers are few, so it will be difficult to deal with them!"

As Liu Guangzuo issued a new order, the official army and rural soldiers quickly divided into five groups and surrounded the mound where the Yibu rebels were stationed...

Behind the mound.

Ma Mingfeng, commander of the third battalion of the second regiment, came over and said: "Vice-deputy, the Ming army wants to surround us, what should we do?"

"We can only rely on the mounds to defend!" Huang Gan said loudly, "The river has many twists and turns here. Commander Helian and Deputy Liu are only a few miles away from us. As long as we persist for a while, we can wait for reinforcements!"

"I understand!"

Ma Mingfeng immediately went to step up the arrangement of defensive positions.

Huang Gan was prepared to deal with the siege of the army from the beginning - for him, it was an unexpected surprise that the caltrops sprinkled head-on with a try mentality could kill one or two hundred enemy riders.

In addition to personally dealing with the frontal enemy, he also asked Ma Mingfeng, the commander of the second battalion, to defend the north, and Lin Zhanfei, the deputy of the third battalion, to defend the south.

The strength of the troops was 300 men per side, and another 300 men were left as reserves.

Soon, five lines of officers and soldiers arrived two or three hundred paces away from the mound.

"The Ming army is setting up artillery! Hit them first!"

Under Huang Gan's command, more than a hundred Tiger Crouching Cannons were divided into three sides and opened fire again.

In order to pursue the range, iron bullets were used this time.

There are thirty or forty gates on each side that can be fired together to form a crude bullet net.

The Crouching Tiger Cannon can barely shoot low and flat like a cannon using its gun mount.

I saw dozens of iron bullets hitting, and seven or eight Ming army gunners were hit and killed on the spot!

"It's a pity that it's not our squatting steel cannon."

Huang Gan looked at the result and felt a little pity.

The 120 squatting tiger cannons carried by his two battalions were all captured from Xiangyang City. Not only is it bulkier than the squatting tiger steel cannon built by the Kueibu, it has a shorter range and less power.

If you use the squatting steel cannon like the one in the Guards, it can hit almost a mile!

With just two hundred steps in front of us, as long as there were people in front of us, one shell would have to kill two or three people before it would stop.

After all, Liu Guangzuo's battalion soldiers were trained to suppress bandits, and they had a lot of money, food, and rewards in front of them. They did not collapse just because they took a round of artillery fire and killed more than a dozen people.

After a round of artillery fire from the rebel army, the Ming army's Crouching Tiger Artillery also fired.

Although Liu Guangzuo's troops carried only seventy or eighty Tiger Crouching Cannons, and the density of shelling was obviously not as good as that of the rebels, the rebels relied on mounds for defense, so their formation was not too spread out.

He was actually beaten by a round of Tiger Crouching Cannon fire from the army, killing and injuring more than 20 people!

In this way, both sides fought for a round each. Seeing that his side still suffered nearly 20 casualties, Huang Gan felt that such a fight would not work.

He immediately summoned the battalion deputy Lin Zhanfei and said, "You will take command later, and I will blow up their Tiger Crouching Artillery position with a grenade!"

It is not the habit of the Yibu rebels to be responsible for carrying out dangerous missions, but Huang Gan's personal habit.

He is a person who is not afraid of death and dares to fight and charge forward.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhanfei said: "How can the regiment deputy take such a risk? If something happens to you, our morale will definitely drop, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend. Isn't it just to blow up the Ming army's tiger squatting artillery position? I'll go!"

After saying that, Lin Zhanfei went to summon the sword players.

Huang Gan sighed when he saw this and said nothing. He urgently arranged musketeers and crossbowmen to cover Lin Zhanfei.

After the rebels fired their third round of running and before the Ming army fired their third round of artillery, Lin Zhenfei led fifty sword players wearing two layers of armor and ran straight to the Ming army's position in the south.

The officers and soldiers were not too nervous. They saw the rebel knife players rushing to more than fifty steps before firing their guns and arrows under the command.

The bow and arrow belts of the officers and soldiers were okay. Except for a few heavy arrows, most of the arrows were difficult to break through the two layers of armor even if they were not blocked by shields and hit the rebels.
