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

Immediately following Zuo Liangyu's exclamation, there was a series of explosions from the Ming army's artillery positions!

The Kuaibu artillery has been using army artillery for more than half a year. With the modern artillery techniques taught by Liu Sheng, a group of excellent artillerymen have been trained.

In addition, the artillery units in the south and east of Xinye City had already conducted test firings and made targets, so this first round of artillery fire was quite accurate.

More than a hundred of the more than a hundred explosive bombs fell on the Ming army's artillery positions!

Even the powder barrels next to several cannons were affected and exploded on the spot!

As for the Ming army's artillerymen and auxiliary soldiers who were injured by this round of shells, there were more than a hundred people. Those who survived were rolling on the ground and howling miserably, and the sounds were extremely sad.

The remaining gunners and auxiliary soldiers were also very frightened, forgetting the military regulations, and ran back one after another.

Seeing the supervising team approaching with swords and cards, he came to his senses and had to return to the artillery position with a sad face.

However, before the Ming army gunners could clean up the artillery position and fire again, the second round of explosive shells from the Kuaibei army fell.

Boom boom...

In the series of explosions, dozens of gunners and auxiliary soldiers were killed and wounded, and several powder barrels were killed.

Although the remaining gunners and auxiliary soldiers were no longer frightened and fled, they were all frightened, dejected, and had no fighting spirit, and their movements became slower as a result.

Seeing this, the staff behind Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but said: "Commander Zuo, the rebel artillery fire is accurate, but it is still full of explosives. If the artillery fire is used, our army will not gain any advantage."

"Do you think I'm blind? It's up to you!" Zuo Liangyu replied angrily, and then said: "Send an order from my general to have Zhang Yingxiang and Xu Ensheng lead a thousand cavalry each to charge into the formation from the east and west sides to test the situation. The thief army attracted the thief army's artillery fire.

Then let the artillery team take the opportunity to advance and fire as close as one mile away from the rebel position!

Let Hao Xiaozhong lead 5,000 soldiers to supervise the battle - tell him to spread out the army, don't let it get destroyed by a few rounds of artillery! "

As the command flags near Zuo Liangyu's watch car were waving, the horns were sounding, and the soldiers were coming and going, the Ming army quickly followed Zuo Liangyu's instructions and carried out a series of actions.

Zuo Liangyu has made it this far, and he is by no means a fool. In fact, he is not lacking in martial prowess and military strategy.

He knew very well that in such a large-army battle, it was not easy to press the entire army at the beginning. He had to constantly test the enemy's army, induce the enemy's weaknesses to be exposed, and then seize the weaknesses to expand them in order to win.

In fact, due to various reasons, today's Ming army can only fight on a small scale - the more people there are, the easier it is to fight.

Therefore, there is no big problem with Zuo Liangyu's series of military orders.

However, most of the time, the outcome of a war is not determined solely by the general's military strategy and commanding ability.

There are many factors that can determine victory or defeat, such as equipment, morale, and people's hearts of both sides...

"Kill!"

Zhang Yingxiang led a thousand cavalry and rushed towards the west side of the Weibu army formation.

Knowing that his mission was to attract enemy artillery fire, Zhang Yingxiang naturally spread his cavalry far apart and made up his mind that the forward would retreat as close as two hundred steps in front of the enemy's formation.

He knew that there were many squatting tiger cannons in Guibu, and there was also a small "Ten Thousand Enemy" that could be easily thrown, so naturally he would not get too close.

What puzzled him was that when he knew that he was only 210 or 20 steps closer, the military formation on the west side of Weibu did not fire a single shell.

'Is it possible that the Ministry of Defense did not arrange tiger squatting artillery on the west side? '

Discovering that the infantry formation of the Kuei tribe in front was still tight, and it was difficult to see what was going on inside, Zhang Yingxiang couldn't help but have a lucky idea in his mind, so he did not lead the cavalry to turn around immediately.

The horses galloped forward for another dozen steps, and the Wei army's formation suddenly changed, revealing hundreds of squatting tiger cannons.

Zhang Yingxiang's expression changed drastically.

Although it was only two hundred steps away from the Kueibu Crouching Tiger Cannon at this time, the cavalry could rush over in a few breaths, but as a cavalryman under Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Yingxiang did not have the courage to charge into the formation with the Crouching Tiger Cannon like Huang Degong.

As a first-line cavalryman, he rushes to the front - the cavalryman is not at the front of the team, and it is difficult to command the team in time.

So he deflected first and ran diagonally to one side.

The same is true for the Mingqi behind.

It was also at this time that Weibu's Crouching Tiger Cannon was fired.

Hundreds of squatting tiger cannons fired in a series.

Although the Ming Cavalry was scattered, the Weibu fired Gongsun bullets - one of the larger iron bullets could hit two to three hundred steps, and the remaining shotguns could only hit about two hundred steps.

But because there were more than 300 tiger crouching cannons, and the Ming cavalry was relatively close, at this moment, nearly a hundred cavalry were still knocked off their horses.

At the same time, Li Dingguo led 1,300 cavalry and rushed out from the rear formation on the west side.

When Zhang Yingxiang led the remaining Ming cavalry to retreat, Li Dingguo led the cavalry to follow closely behind.

Zhang Yingxiang turned around and glanced, seeing that there was at least seventy or eighty steps between us, he couldn't help but cursed: "This thief is sick, can he catch up with us?"

The cavalry led by Zhang Yingxiang are not miscellaneous cavalry - although they are not elite cavalry like Guan Ning's cavalry, they are also cavalry directly from Zuo Liangyu, and they use real war horses.

Therefore, Zhang Yingxiang did not think that Li Dingguo could catch up with him.

"Grandma, I want to see if you dare to keep chasing me!"

Zhang Yingxiang led the cavalry and ran towards Zuo Liangyu's Chinese army formation.

According to what he knew, Zuo Liangyu still held eight hundred fine cavalry in his hands - all of them were Zuo Liangyu's servants.

He believed that as long as the thieves chased too close, Zuo Liangyu would definitely send out the fine cavalry.

By then, if we cooperate with him and Xu Ensheng's two thousand cavalry, we might be able to keep more than a thousand thieves cavalry...

"General, the thieves and cavalry have divided their forces!"

The skilled servant suddenly exclaimed, making Zhang Yingxiang come back to his senses.

He looked back and realized that the Wei cavalry had split into two parts at some point.

More than 300 of them were still chasing them, but the remaining 1,000 were from the artillery team and Hao Xuanzhong's 5,000 soldiers!

At this time, the Ming Army's artillery team and five thousand soldiers were advancing to a position more than a mile away from the Weibu army's formation under round after round of explosive shells.

Although because the team was very scattered, there were not many real casualties from the bombardment of Kueibu, but morale was extremely low.

Not to mention the gunners and auxiliary soldiers who had already suffered 20 to 30% casualties. They were only prevented from collapse by being blocked by 5,000 soldiers. Even the soldiers supervising the battle were frightened and timid.

In this case, if the Wei cavalry is allowed to enter, the consequences can be imagined!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yingxiang actually broke into a cold sweat on a hot day.

"Quick! Stop and deal with the hundreds of thieves behind you!"

He shouted loudly and led the cavalry to turn first.

When he actually turned around, he thought that in this situation, he shouldn't be entangled with the more than 300 horsemen behind him at all. He should directly intercept most of the horsemen, and maybe he could cooperate with the infantry to keep them out of the military formation. .

So he wanted to take the cavalry to chase most of the Yi cavalry.

Under his operation, not only did his Mingqi slow down, but the team also became closer. The more than 300 Qiqi who were being pursued approached to a few steps away, and more than 100 grenades came directly to greet them. !

After throwing the grenade, the Qi cavalry ran to the side, and more than a hundred cavalry came up from behind and threw another round of grenades!

After three rounds of this, more than 300 grenades came down, and Zhang Yingxiang and his Mingqi were directly blown away!
