Chapter 78 Li Guo's Confusion

Although the scene is very bloody, these generals are all Li Zicheng's backbone after all. Such a scene has long been common for them. Although the officers and soldiers' artillery fire is fierce, the artillery fire of the Ming army in this era has not yet formed a blocking of the battlefield, so it is terrible, but it can't stop it. As they moved forward, these soldiers under Li Zicheng did not look at the robes that fell to the ground at all. They had red eyes, shouted loudly and continued to rush forward.

In this way, looking at the thieves who rushed to death, the officers and soldiers began to get nervous again. The officers silently calculated the distance between the thieves and them. When the forwards of the thieves had rushed 60 or 70 steps in front of them, finally, some officers couldn't stand the pressure. Before the officer's order, someone was tight. Zhang over his head and pressed the dragon head on the bird's head without authorization. After a muffled sound, the projectile immediately left and hit the oncoming thieves.

Although the seventy-step is the effective killing distance of the bird's gun, it is only for the enemy who has no armor on his body. Because of the quality problem, the gunner's gunners often don't dare to install enough gunpowder, which further weakens the power of the bird's gun. Seventy steps hit people, as long as they wear armor, even if it is just a piece of cotton armor, Basically, it has made the projectile of the bird's bullet lose its power.

This is also the reason why Xing Tianjun currently requires that the firearms must wait for the enemy to enter within 50 steps to fire, so that the firearms are often exposed to the enemy's firepower at the same time. In fact, it is not Xiao Tianjian who is unwilling to let the bird to be loaded with enough gunpowder, but the bird is really the quality. It is not reassuring enough, but the fixed gunpowder they use also makes up for the quality of the bird gun to a certain extent, making the charge stable, so the explosive rate can be controlled within the acceptable range.

As soon as a firearmed, the other firearmed hand began to fire one after another. Suddenly, a row of gunpowder smoke spewed out in front of the officer's array, and the bullets of the bird's bullets split into the charging Rebel array.

But this round of launch did not cause too much trouble to the Rebels. The front row was basically knife hands. The rattan cards in their hands provided them with sufficient cover. Some projectiles hit the rattan cards, but they could not penetrate the rattan cards. They just shook the licensed soldiers.

An angry scolding of officers immediately sounded in the officer's army. Immediately, an officer and soldier who took the lead in opening fire without authorization because he was too nervous was dragged down and cut off their heads with a knife. In this way, the officers and soldiers' firemen were silent one by one and dared not open fire without authorization, and the gunmen who had already opened fire hurriedly began to start again. Load it and prepare for another launch.

At present, the officers and soldiers don't know what fixed gunpowder is at all, so when the bird gun is reloaded, it is very troublesome. Some officers and soldiers tremble a little, and the gunpowder is poured in too much. In this way, when the fire is opened, the chamber pressure is increased, so that the explosive rate is still high. This is also because the officer and army has bird gunpowter, but it is not Because they like to use bird gun, and the officers and soldiers of He Renlong are naturally not exempt from vulgarity. The number of bird gun pieces equipped in the army is very limited. Therefore, even if the fire gun hand shoots the bird gun in advance, it has little impact on the battle.

It was not until the two sides approached within 50 steps that He Renlong roared in the array: "Arrow! ......”

The archers, who had already been ready behind the car, took a step forward one after another and tried their best to open their bows, pointing to the oncoming rebels outside the array. With the order of the officers, a rain of arrows floated out of the officers and soldiers like a dark cloud, and then fell into the crowd of the rebels like a rainstorm.

A sharp arrow broke through the air, made a sharp sound, and fell into the crowd. Suddenly, there was a sound of bitter humming and scolding, and many Rebel soldiers staggered on the road forward.

The dense rain of arrows suffocated the speed of the Rebels' advance, and as soon as the arrow rain in the officers' array began to launch, it no longer stopped. The archers launched the arrows inserted in front of them one by one at a very fast speed. Their launch rate far exceeded the launch rate of birds or fires. It caused a lot of trouble for the rebels.

The rebels fell to the ground with arrows one by one. Even if the knife hand raised the shield in front, it could not cover such a dense rain of arrows. What's more, Li Zicheng's subordinates did not have a small number of armored equipment. Many people can almost say that they were almost naked. For such an arrow rain, they were unable to stop it at all, which immediately caused the rebels. There were a lot of casualties.

But after all, these rebels are the elite under Li Zicheng's command. Although they are facing such a dense arrowstorm of the officers and soldiers, they still can't completely curb their attack. Under the command of Li Guo, they continued to rush to the army in three ways. At the same time, the volunteers and torches also entered the range. Inside, they began to fight back against the officers and soldiers with bows and arrows.

The two sides of the bullets came and went, constantly staggered through the air, and scattered into the enemy's array one after another. The officers and soldiers also began to pay the price of casualties. Moreover, Li Guo also brought a few small cannons this time, which were carried by the gunners to the front of the officers and soldiers. After the gunners, they were immediately ignited and the projectiles fell one after another. Entering the officer's army array, the jumping projectile also brought a lot of threat to the officer's army. A projectile crashed into the officer's army's array and immediately tore the shield of a knife player to pieces. Half of his body was hit with blood and blood were blurred. The shells continued to fly forward, and then knocked down two officers and soldiers in a row. A soldier's chest stopped, but the shell was still deeply embedded in the soldier's chest, making his chest deeply depressed. Several ribs were broken. The officer and soldier sat on the ground, spitting blood, and then tilted his head and fell to the ground. He couldn't live.

However, for the officers and soldiers, such firepower is really nothing. Although the generals of the Rebels are very brave, they are obviously not as organized as the Xingtian Army. Although the firefighters and archers also counterattacked, compared with the Xingtian Army's platoons, the casualties caused to the officers and soldiers are very good. Limit, basically, they fought separately and did not form an effective barrage. Although it also caused some casualties to the officers and soldiers, their power was seriously limited and could not create a sense of shock like a volley.

In addition, when He Renlong was arrayed, the cart was placed in front of the battle, as if a pass wall was formed in front of the battle, so that the rebels' bullets were more often hit on the side panel of the car, and it was impossible to shoot the officers and soldiers hiding in the cart at all.

He Renlong frowned and looked at the chaotic army belonging to Li Zicheng, who was flooding in front of him. The more he looked at it, the more confused he became.

This time, the tactics shown by Li Zicheng's generals are basically the same as the tactics of the thief army he saw two years ago. He does not deny that the courage of this thief army is very brave, but their organization is far from comparable to the thief army they met this morning. Compared with the two compartments, its organization can be said to be It's very different.

Why is there such a big difference between the performance of the two thieves encountered in a day? This can't help but make a few question marks appear in He Renlong's head.

However, in any case, after watching the tactics of the thief army under Li Zicheng, He Renlong's heart was still put into his stomach. The psychological shadow brought to him by the thief army under the banner of Xing Tianjun in the morning was immediately swept away.

Judging from the performance of this thief army, Li Zicheng did not really accept the previous lessons. His ability to lead troops is still similar to that of a few years ago, and there are no major changes. In this way, it will be much easier.

After looking at the performance of this thief army under Li Zicheng's command, He Renlong's confidence once again returned to the level of time. Looking at the round array he placed, it was really a little ironic. When he met the thief army, he was so cautious, and today he was only defeated by a strange thief army in the morning. After two days, he became so careful, which made He Renlong a little embarrassed.

Although these Rebel soldiers led by Li Guo are very brave, after all, they are still facing the well-equipped officers led by He Renlong, and He Renlong deliberately set up a round array, which is very tight, which makes these Rebels launch several fierce rushes in a row, but under the defense of the officers and soldiers, Because of the heavy casualties, he was repulsed by the officers and soldiers, but the bodies of dozens of Rebel soldiers were left in the open space outside the army.

Li Chuan saw that there was no result if he rushed down like this. It was just a white loss, so he had no choice but to order Mingjin to withdraw the troops and withdraw the soldiers sent by each department.

In this attack, the Rebels suffered nearly 200 casualties, and nearly a part of their troops were lost at once. Li Guo was really distressed. You know, these are all the elite soldiers that his uncle has finally accumulated in the past few years. Generally speaking, he is reluctant to take them into battle, but today's battle has killed and injured so many people. This time, he was really a little confused.

In the battle of He Renlong's part, it did not show that they were a group of ordinary people. Their defenses were good. In the face of their sharp offensive, they did not show any panic at all. So why could Xing Tianjun beat them in the morning? Li Guo really can't figure it out for some reason. Is it possible that the news of this sentry's return is wrong?

He immediately summoned the first batch of sent outposts sent to monitor the Xing Tianjun and asked, "You said that the soldiers under the command of He Renlong will be almost vulnerable in front of the Xing Tianjun. Why do I wait to come and fight with them this time, but the soldiers under He Renlong are still so strong?" Is it possible that you are waiting to be dazzle?

These sentinels under Li Zicheng's command were also depressed to death. Obviously, they watched the officers and soldiers being beaten in front of Xing Tianjun during the day, but when Li Guo led his troops to come and met He Renlong's soldiers and horses, the other party became so difficult to gnaw?
