Chapter 656 Fighting the Left Thief (Part 2)

Seeing that the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry of the Jinyang Army had already begun to move and were pressing forward step by step, Zuo Liangyu knew in his heart that if he still set up a turtle formation, his infantry, which was beaten by the light cavalry and artillery of the Jinyang Army, would soon be in chaos. At that time, the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry of the Jinyang Army rushed up, which would be a defeat!

"Beat the drum! The whole army attacked!" Zuo Liangyu roared.

Under this situation, Zuo Liangyu's turtle formation was no longer able to be deployed, so he could only take the initiative to attack and disperse the light cavalry and artillery of the Jinyang Army.

The war drums rumbled, and the cavalry of the Left Army rushed out and rushed towards the Jinyang Army's light cavalry. At the same time, the left army infantry shouted and rushed towards the Ming army's artillery positions one hundred and fifty steps ahead.

"Let's go, pay attention to protecting the artillery!" Zhang Wei roared.

The light cavalry turned and left, leaned towards the direction of their artillery positions. On the artillery positions, the Ming army gunmen immediately became busy. The gunmen of field artillery and howitzers pulled the ammunition trucks over, hung up the artillery trucks, and then jumped onto the ammunition trucks, drove the horses, and drove the war horses to move the cannons closer to the direction of their infantry. The pack horse artillery placed the mortar cannons and the light Folang machine cannons on the horse's back, then rode their mounts, and drove the war horses dragging the artillery back.

"He is a girl!" Zuo Liangyu cursed, "Li Ergou's artillery actually rode horses! Where did this kid get so many horses?"

"Kill the Li thief!" Lu Guangzu, who was riding on the horse, shouted, and led the left army to kill the infantry formation of the Jinyang army.

"Catch them up and kill them all!" Xu Yong, who led the cavalry to pursue the Jinyang Army's light cavalry, shouted, galloped, and led the left cavalry to chase the Jinyang Army's light cavalry.

Zhang Wei turned around and an arrow was taken down. A cavalryman from the left was dismissed.

While the light cavalry was running towards their own formation, they turned around and shot arrows. The arrows pierced into the left cavalry formation that was chasing themselves, and the left cavalry kept falling off the horse. These Jinyang light cavalry, composed of Han Chinese herd slaves and Mongolians, had a cavalry technique far above the left cavalry. The left cavalry could not even touch their horses. During the pursuit, they could only watch their opponents turn around and shoot arrows, and use the Manguda tactics to fly their kites.

Lu Guangzu led the cavalry to chase him, and arrows kept shooting in front of him. The cavalry around him fell one after another. Even Lu Guangzu himself had several arrows on his body, but he had thick armor protection, so the light arrows shot from his bow could not hurt him.

Just when the left cavalry was about to catch up with the Jinyang army's light cavalry, Lu Guangzu suddenly felt that his eyes were hurt by a shiny silver light. When he looked closely, he saw that his cavalry was about to hit the infantry formation opposite!

"Go away!" Lu Guangzu roared and was the first to pull out his horse and run back. He knew that the heavy infantry on the opposite side was difficult to deal with. As long as the cavalry rushed forward, they would hit the spearmen. Then the iron-armored soldiers wielded their swords and could cut all the cavalry like chopping melons and vegetables.

It is a very disadvantage to use cavalry to rush the neatly arranged infantry formations. Lu Guangzu definitely won’t do such a fool, so if you want to deal with the infantry of Jinyang Army, it’s better to leave it to the infantry of the Left Army.

The left army infantry shouted and rushed forward. The charge of tens of thousands of people was huge. On the small plain by the river, there were a large area of ​​left army. From Li Guodong's perspective, I saw the black left army crowd stretching to the horizon, endless, rushing towards their formation like a tide.

"Iron armored soldiers, prepare for fire and thunder! Born to the musketeers, prepare for aiming!" Li Guodong gave a series of orders.

The Jinyang Army's ten thousand musket soldiers were all elites equipped with French impact flintlock rifles. This high-priced musket soldiers can be officially queuing and shot, because the flintlock rifle does not require flint, the formation can be arranged in a dense manner, and the firing rate is much faster than that of bird guns. As long as four rows of musketmen can complete uninterrupted round shooting.

In front of the iron armored swordsman and swordsman, each of them had a fire thunder. The so-called fire thunder was actually a earth grenade. However, Li Guodong had not built a cargo pulling device, so these grenades were ignited by fuses. Each of the iron armored soldiers had a small piece of fuses hanging around their necks, and a fire canister was hung around their necks. After hearing the order, the iron armored soldiers came to the squad and fuses and lit the fuses.

The musket soldiers finally checked the musket, and then according to the general order, accompanied by the sound of drums, they picked up the flintlock rifle and aimed at the dark left army crowd in front.

The cavalry artillery had retreated, retreated to the two wings of the infantry formation, quickly set up artillery, and the gunners were nervously loading. The first one was the Folang machine cannon, and only a row of cannons was heard, and a large area of ​​the rushing Zuo Army fell down.

The loading speed of field guns, howitzers and mortars was also very fast. These gunners followed his veterans when they were fighting the Later Jin Dynasty outside Li Guodong Pass. They filled the ammunition with fixed charge packaging, and it took less than twenty breaths to load them. Before the sound of the second round of the Flang machine's cannon sounded, the field guns, howitzers and mortars made roars. The overwhelming shells fell into the charge of the left army crowd, and countless blood splashed in the crowd. Countless left army soldiers fell down screaming, and some people were beaten to pieces before they even had time to scream.

"Quick, rush up! Li Zhe's cannon is not loading so quickly! If you rush up, we will win!" Li Guoying shouted, urging the left army to launch a final charge towards the Jinyang army infantry.

The Jinyang Army's artillery attack just now seemed to have killed and injured many Left Army soldiers, but in fact, they only killed more than a thousand people. More than a thousand people accounted for a small part of the Left Army, with a population of more than 80,000, and the losses were only about 0.1%, which had little impact on morale.

Seeing that the Zuo Army had rushed within a hundred steps, Li Guodong gave an order: "Prepare to fire the gun!"

"Aim!" The chief officer of the musketeers shouted.

French flintlock rifles were lifted up, and the black muzzles pointed forward.

Only seventy steps were left, and all levels pointed the knife in the hands of the general officer forward: "Let it go!"

The first row of musketeers fired at the same time, and the gunshots were comparable to the roar of cannons. Only a row of thunder-like roars were heard. White smoke rose from the Jinyang Army's position, and rows of flames spurted out. More than two thousand projectiles pierced into the left army crowd. A large number of left army soldiers fell down. Many people were beaten into hornet's nests on the spot. Some injured and undead fell in pools of blood and wailed and groaned in pain.

"Bang bang bang" the roar of the light Folang machine cannon sounded, and at the same time, the turtledove-footed gun also made a dull roar, adding insult to the injury to the left army who were shot by the platoon guns.

The roar of the Franca cannon and the turtledog-foot guns was mixed with the roar of the flintlock guns. The second row of flintlock gunmen had already stepped forward, pulled the trigger, and fired a row of bullets. Then the second row of flintlock gunmen quickly retreated and loaded the ammunition, the third row of flintlock gunmen stepped forward, aimed at the left army formation and pulled the trigger; then the fourth row went forward, and the fourth row of flintlock gunmen had finished loading, and stepped forward and pulled the trigger again.

Ten thousand flintlock gunmen did not stop for a moment, and rows of bullets were shot out one after another, and the storm-like projectiles pierced into the left army crowd. Soon, piles of corpses were piled up in front of the Jinyang army formation.

Standing at the top of Anqing City, Huang Peixuan watched the two armies fighting. From beginning to end, he saw the left army losing troops and losing generals, while the Jinyang army had almost no casualties.

"Wuweibo's army is so powerful! Even if there is a 500,000 army in front of him, it is still vulnerable!" Huang Peixuan stroked his beard and said with a smile.
