Bright Spring

Zhu Gaoxu didn't see the effect of the shot just now.There was also a lot of smoke in the air. It is estimated that only the gunners in front of the artillery array could see it.A moment later, there was also a loud cannon shot from the hillside on the left.

A puff of white smoke rose from there, and Zhu Gaoxu heard the whistling sound in the air!

The enemy formation in the distance has been firing cannons and firing guns, and gunpowder smoke and dust spread.But after a while, Zhu Gaoxu still saw a turbulent formation in the middle of the broad enemy formation, and the crowd within dozens of steps deep was in chaos.

It even vaguely seemed to hear screams.

Zhu Gaoxu was secretly delighted!Through the observation of the cannon test on the school field, he had long expected that the Hanwang Cannon's shell bounced at a relatively low angle, and its lethality to the infantry phalanx was far greater than that of the Hongwu Cannon, which fired dozens of kilograms of heavy shells into the air. He was right. !

On the hillside not far ahead, the remaining twenty Hanwang cannons began to adjust their height.A bigger battle is about to appear!

The artillery of the King of Han Army also didn’t have any calculation tools. It mainly relied on the gunner’s observation to adjust its position, and the accuracy was relatively poor;As long as the cannonball doesn't float too far and can hit a rough position, it will definitely hit someone!

The artillery formation is only two or three hundred steps away from the official army formation; but the place where the artillery bombards is not the front of the enemy formation, but the depth behind it!Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu has not yet issued a military order for Wang Bin's troops to retreat; at present, Wang Bin's cavalry is still attacking the front of the enemy's line in columns from time to time.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't just think about how many dead cavalrymen Wang Bin would have in the extended time, he forced himself to think only about the odds of winning.He thought to himself: Hanwang cannons | After firing a round, order Wang Bin to retreat!

"Be careful!" a general in the artillery circle turned his head and shouted, then raised his waist knife high.

Zhu Gaoxu stared at the large phalanx in the north, and waited calmly.

Chapter 532 Who is in control of the ups and downs (5)

In the depths of Xue Lu's army formation, amidst the din, there were a few cries.

At this moment, fires flickered on two gentle slopes nearly a mile away!People can also see the multiple flashes through the gunpowder smoke.

A moment later, the sound of "Boom boom boom..." came.When the officers and soldiers heard the sound of the cannon, the "huhu" shells had already flown into the phalanx crowd!

Immediately there was a dull crash and the clang of armor in the dense phalanx!In one place, a long line of soldiers from three hundreds of teams fell sideways.

A cannonball bounced on the ground several times in an instant, and finally rolled to the back with smoke on the ground, and only then did people see that it was an iron ball!A cloud of dust was left in the crowd.

"Ah!" The screams and screams came from everywhere.And some people didn't make a sound at all, they had already fallen on the ground, the air was foggy with blood, and the smell filled the air.

In the huge phalanx and the vast crowd, the formations in dozens of places were shaken, and the soldiers fell in a messy row!

The scene was terrible, the queue hit by the shells was in disarray.

Many officers and soldiers, who have not recovered what is going on, have already discovered that the people around them are dead!People looked at the dead bodies on the ground in shock, and more people raised their heads to look at the place where the artillery was flashing just now, as if they were waiting or on guard, and the atmosphere of terror spread among the crowd.

More than one general said before that the Ming army would never be defeated by shelling; however, just one round of salvo caused multiple phalanxes to be scattered!The officers and soldiers had never seen such a thing before, and even the generals were at a loss for a while.

...and to the east of the left-wing infantry formation of the official army, the earth-shattering roar of horseshoes also attracted people's attention.Tens of thousands of cavalry are surging to the east, and the ground seems to be trembling too!

The central army of the Ping'an Army sounded a drumbeat. After a chorus of "boom", many cowhide drums rang intensively for a while and repeated the sound.The war drum seemed to be urging the sound of "rumbling" horseshoes, and the cavalry of the Han King Army in front of them accelerated one after another, and groups of cavalry rushed over shouting.

The front army quickly opened the distance; while the follow-up cavalry led by Ping An still maintained a jogging speed.

The officers and soldiers in the distance are still spreading towards this side like a large wave.Where the two armies approached, on the vast expanse of wasteland and hillsides from west to east, there was a loud roar of killing.

The vanguard of the cavalry of the King of Han Army rushed forward for a while, but did not charge farther away. Units of cavalry began to detour to the left and right.On the ground, the horses of the two sides galloped in different directions, fighting everywhere, and the horses were like a whirlpool.The war horses that could not be avoided even collided with each other, and the piercing neighing of the horses could be heard in all directions.

At this time, the drums of the King of Han's cavalry team played again in a special way.The generals approaching the Ping'an Chinese Army rushed forward while shouting; the second batch of cavalry attacked from all over the place!

"Rumble..." Countless horseshoes roared all the time.

The enemy troops in front had just charged and killed a round; at this time, they did not turn around, and continued to run straight to the south.The enemy troops soon encountered the cavalry of the King of Han's army who rushed to kill them. Some of the enemy cavalry continued to charge, but some were trying to turn around and return.

"Kill! Kill! Kill..." There were deafening shouts one after another, and then a large group of cavalry from the King of Han Army charged fiercely.

The sound of strings "bang bang bang", the flying | stabbing of spears, the waving of swords, the earth is like sea water.

While sitting on the back of a jogging horse, Ping An looked around.

Facing the sunlight in the east, he saw a knight drawing a bow; what attracted Ping An's eyes was the knight's figure in the sunlight, and his movements were very vigorous!Unexpectedly, after a while, the figure suddenly leaned back and fell off the horse from the arrow.

At this moment, Ping An suddenly discovered that there was a cavalry team with dense banners in the distance, and there was a big flag with the word "Lv" written on it.Ping An couldn't help wondering who it was for a moment, but he couldn't remember; but he concluded that there should be a general of the army!

"Brothers, it's time for us to go!" Ping An swung the iron ax in his hand, and shouted back, beckoning the soldiers around him to speed up.

Ping An led a group of elite cavalry as if he was in no man's land, and he himself was even more unstoppable.Not long after, he was the first to rush close to the big flag.Under the banner was a general wearing a red cloak, his head was still facing the back, and he was yelling something.

"Hey!" Ping An yelled, reminding the general.

In an instant, the galloping horses had reached under the banner of the official army, and the two horsemen facing him stood side by side to block Ping An.

Pingan reined in his horse and turned slightly to the left, swung the iron ax with his right hand and swung it up obliquely, screaming "Ah"; he didn't notice where he cut it, because the second rider was close in the blink of an eye.Immediately, he slashed down the iron ax he swung, with a "click" sound of the wooden pole breaking, followed by another loud bang and shouting.

At the same time, from the corner of Ping An's eyes, he found an enemy soldier sitting on a horse, watching him raise his bow.He saw the movement of the enemy soldier, waited for a while based on his feeling, and then suddenly raised the iron shield in his left hand, and sure enough, he heard a "jingle" on the shield after a while.

Ping An ignored the enemy soldier who shot the cold arrow, turned his head and shouted: "Who is the general, tell me your name!"

The general was looking shocked at this time, and he was probably shocked by the two of them in an instant.But the fellow refused to admit defeat, and replied: "This general is Lu Liang!"

"I've never heard of it!" Ping An replied, and at this time he had already made a detour and rushed towards the general.

The officers and generals were ashamed and angry, but they patted their horses and ran eastward. The reaction was quite quick!Only a group of soldiers were left to resist Ping An.

Ping An immediately cursed, relying on the horse's unstoppable speed, kicked with his left foot and shook the reins to avoid the charging enemy soldiers.After a while, there was the sound of "Ding Ding Bang Bang" from behind, as well as the sound of people screaming in pain.

Ping An stared at the general and several others, and soon caught up with an enemy cavalry carrying a banner, chopped off the enemy soldier with an axe, and the banner fell to the ground.

After a while, the officer and army general, who was already getting closer, was blocked by a small pond in front of him, so he could only turn around and walk north.

"Drive!" Ping An kicked, and immediately rushed up.The general turned his head to see the coming of peace, and he took a knife to chop.Ping'an twisted his upper body, took the iron shield "Kang Dang" to block it, and slashed with the ax with his right hand.

The body of the general of the officer and army had left the horse's back and threw himself into the pond.It's a pity that he was half a step too late, and an ax was hit on his back, and blood splashed into the air. With a scream of "ah", there was a "splash" of water, and the man fell straight into the water.

The soldiers behind him applauded and caught up, and someone shouted loudly.

The enemy's banner fell, and the general was hacked to death; a large group of cavalry nearby, as if they lost their direction, began to flee one after another!

Chapter 533 Who is in control of the ups and downs (6)

The right-wing army of the King of Han's army has reached the front of the enemy's formation and is fighting in a large area.

The air seemed to be filled with the sound of firecrackers on the first day of the new year, and the crackling of firecrackers continued.On the smoky front battlefield, rows of flashes came and went, and the voices of people filled the sky and the earth.

In the infantry phalanx on both sides, people kept falling from the queue.On the undulating terrain, dead bodies can be seen everywhere.

Zhu Gaoxu watched the scene on the battlefield, and saw that the main force of the cavalry led by Ping An was still fighting fiercely with a large number of cavalry from the government army.Although Ping'an has few people, it should have gained some advantages; the situation of its cavalry left wing is in sight, and the front line of the chaotic battle there is gradually moving north.

When Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked back to the left, he saw the boundless crowd of infantry moving everywhere, and the Chinese army led by Sheng Yong had already started to advance.

The nearby Hanwang Cannon made a loud bang again, and the ground on the hillside seemed to be shaking constantly.Zhu Gaoxu watched the depth of the enemy's formation, and found that the shelling effect at this time was not as good as it was at first.The phalanx behind the enemy was no longer so dense, and a sparser formation was adjusted, but there was more confusion in the crowd.

However, the iron bullets of the Hanwang Cannon are also running out.
