Chapter 657 Fighting the Left Thief (Last Part)

Four rows of musket gunmen fired in turn, and the sound of guns did not stop for a moment. The self-generated muskets were shot with light Folang machines and turtledove-footed guns. From time to time, you could hear the roar of howitzers, field guns and mortars. Shotballs and flowering bullets kept falling behind the left army crowd, and clusters of blood mist were rising.

Seeing his veterans slumped in front of the Jinyang army with his own eyes, Zuo Liangyu was shocked: "How can Li Ergou's musket be so powerful? So many of us died and we couldn't rush up? They only had ten thousand musketmen, four rows of rounds of fire, and they could fire continuously?"

"Master, our people rushed forward!" At this moment, Li Guoying pointed to the battle formation ahead and shouted.

Zuo Liangyu looked forward and saw that his soldiers were about to rush to the Jinyang army. At this moment, he saw that the iron-armored soldiers in the front row of Jinyang army suddenly threw a row of things in their hands. The things were thrown not far away, and they just took about twenty steps and landed in the left army crowd. Balls of fireballs burst out. The smoke filled the left army crowd, and screamed. Countless left army soldiers covered the bloody wounds on their bodies and fell down with a terrifying blow.

Those are Li Guodong's fire thunder, a kind of earth grenade. Before throwing, the iron armored soldier unscrewed the cover of the fire thunder to expose the fire door, then touched the fuse to the fuse that exposed the fire door a little, and then threw the fire thunder.

The power of fire thunder is actually not great. The fierce explosives in later generations are more than 100 times that of black gunpowder. You can imagine the power of fire thunders like Li Guodong. In fact, it is not very good. That is, the reduced version of the gunpowder tank, the firearms such as ten thousand enemies, exploded with a fire thunder. The explosion range is very small, and there are very few fragments. It is good that a fire thunder can knock down one or two people. However, this thing creates a huge sound, bursts out flames, and creates thick smoke, which can cause chaos in the opponent's formation; if a catapult is used to shoot against the opponent's cavalry, it may cause a frightening group of war horses.

After the iron-armored soldiers threw out fire and thunder, the long sword soldiers in front immediately raised their swords and rushed into the left army formation.

The sword light flashed, and the seven-foot-long slashing sword was extremely powerful. Wherever the long sword passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere. Rows of left soldiers screamed and fell down. Some left soldiers blocked with shields. The extremely powerful slashing sword even broke the shield. The left soldiers with blood on their faces screamed and fell down. What's more, there were sword players behind the Long sword soldiers. The iron shield of the Jinyang Army's iron armored soldiers hit the Left Army wooden shield, knocking the Left Army's poker player backwards. Then they cut down with one knife. The left soldiers were either chopped away or cut into two pieces in half.

The spearmen followed the sword-armored iron armored soldiers and the sword-armored players. These spearmen were also covered in iron armor and were invulnerable to swords and guns. The spearmen were arranged in neat formations, and each round of stabbing out, five or six spears stabbed at one person at the same time. The left army in front blocked the spear and could not defend against the spear. In the blink of an eye, countless soldiers of the left army were shot and fell down.

The left army archers kept shooting in front of the hand-to-hand combat soldiers, one wave did not stop, and another wave started again. Every time they marched, they shot like locust arrows. Relying on the hand-to-hand combat soldiers in front of them, they diffused for multiple rounds in succession.

Although the accurate head is not high, the Jinyang army's musketeers are also wearing red armor and have good protective arrow capabilities. However, the arrows are too dense and the arrows are shot very fast. Some musketeers are still caught in arrows on their arms and legs without protection and fall down with a muffled groan.

The injured musket soldier was immediately lifted down by the people behind him. The musket soldier braved the rain of the left army's arrows and loaded the bullets in an orderly manner. The loading was soon completed.

"Twenty steps forward!" the musket soldiers shouted.

More than 10,000 musket soldiers walked forward step by step, walking behind their iron armored soldiers and spearmen. The formation was still standing still, letting the opponent's arrows fall like rain. The musket soldiers did not move at all, picked up the flintlock rifle and aimed at the left army crowd thirty steps ahead.

"Let me go!" Only a roar was heard.

"Boom boom boom" The guns roared, and two thousand five hundred flintlock guns fired volleys. Fire flashed through a row, and the rain-like bullets pierced into the left army crowd, and immediately knocked down a large area. Then the second row of flintlock gunmen took a step forward and pulled the trigger. Another row of left army soldiers fell down screaming; then the third row, the fourth row, and the first row went forward to shoot.

The continuous shooting of the flintlock rifle, coupled with the chopping and slashing of the iron armored soldiers and the advancement of the spearmen, the flintlock riflemen kept outputting firepower with the help of the hand-to-hand combat soldiers, and piles of corpses like hills had been piled up in front of the Jinyang army. The left army finally couldn't hold on anymore, and someone shouted: "Defeated!"

"Defeated!"

"Our army was defeated!"

The screams of horror and despair were like a plague spreading, which soon swept across the entire Left Army. More and more people shouted, and fear and despair spread throughout the entire army. Some people began to turn their heads and ran away. More and more people turned around, threw down the ragged weapons in their hands, and ran back with no life.

The officers and servants of the Left Army at all levels tried their best to slash, slashing many defeated deserters, but they still could not stop the Left Army from defeating.

"Stop them quickly! Don't rush into the central army!" Zuo Liangyu shouted anxiously when he saw the defeated soldiers rushing towards his central army.

Zuo Liangyu knew very well that once the defeated troops attacked his central army, they would disperse his central army. As long as the Jinyang army with many cavalry followed behind and chased him, perhaps few of his 80,000 elite veterans would be able to escape back.

Li Guoying immediately led a team of elite soldiers to stand in front of the defeated soldiers: "Don't bump into the central army! If there is a bump, you will be killed without mercy!"

The defeated soldiers saw a group of well-equipped soldiers blocking their way and ran to both sides with great awareness.

But Li Guodong would not let Zuo Liangyu do what he wanted. He ordered all the light and heavy cavalry to rush out and drive away the defeated soldiers who blocked the Left Army.

The Jinyang Army's light cavalry rushed out and kept firing arrows on the wings of the left army's defeated soldiers, driving the defeated soldiers scattered to the two sides into the middle. The heavy cavalry lined up in neat formations, rushed over from both sides, and squeezed the formation of the left army into the middle.

"Run!" Han Dashan roared.

The horse hooves of a thousand heavy cavalry made a roar like drums, and trampled past the left fleeing soldiers, leaving corpses everywhere wherever the horse hooves passed.

The heavy cavalry crushed for a while, but did not kill the left army. Instead, they were full of war horses, turned around and left immediately, and then launched an attack. The light cavalry of the Jinyang Army steadily drove the left army step by step, constantly driving the left army with arrows to drive the left army into the middle.

The left army defeated by Li Guoying, who had just been driven to both sides, were driven back again. Tens of thousands of defeated soldiers pressed over from both wings to squeeze in the middle. No matter how the left army's supervisor and servants cut, they could not stop the defeated soldiers. The formation of the left army's central army was squeezed and deformed by the defeated soldiers. People were piled up together, trampling on each other, and countless casualties were injured.

"Boom boom boom boom" Only a few roars of cannons were heard, and the flowering bullets fired by the mortar cannon landed accurately among the crowded Left Army crowd. After a series of explosions, several gaps appeared in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by a circle of people, and in the middle were wounded soldiers and corpses.

The Jinyang Army's turtle dove-legged gunners and light-weight Folang machine gunners also pressed up. All the turtle dove-legged guns and light-weight Folang machines had been loaded with shotguns. They rode their horses to the left army, dismounted at thirty steps, and set up the turtle dove-legged guns and light-weight Folang machine. A row of fire flashed, and the shotguns pierced into the left army's crowd, and a large area of ​​people fell down.

"Go away!" Zuo Liangyu finally felt scared. He turned his horse's head, turned around and ran.

Zuo Menggeng, Lu Guangzu, Li Guoying, Jin Shenghuan and others also turned their horses and fled with their servants.

The entire Left Army collapsed, leaving the refugees who were still siegeing the city and running desperately towards the northwest. However, when they passed by the city, they sent a signal to the veterans of the Left Army who supervised the refugees to siege the city, signaling them to escape quickly. After all, the five thousand supervising teams were also veterans of the Left Army, and those people could not be discarded casually.
