Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 1083 The Flower of Blood

Due to the small number of cavalry on both flanks, although the firearms were damaged to a certain extent, they were quickly cleaned up by Li Xin, but these cavalry only accounted for a small proportion of the number of the four Zhechong houses of the forbidden army. , solving them doesn't change the tide of battle.

   It is the frontal battlefield that really decides who wins and who loses.

When the Ningzhou Army faced Hou Jingde last time, more than 10,000 people were injured, but the losses were basically the newly recruited recruits along the way, the headquarters of 40,000 people and the soldiers who surrendered along the way, and there was not much damage. Together, there are about 100,000 people, which is a little more than the number of the four Zhechong houses of the forbidden army.

but…

Whether the military qualities of the soldiers on both sides are at the same level is a question worth considering.

Back then, the army led by Ye Sheng's Northern Expedition was the Gyeonggi Imperial Army. After Ye Sheng stepped down from the front line, several generals of the Gingji Imperial Army were all outstanding men. Even when they arrived at Pei Jin, they were quite capable generals. Up to now, the Imperial Army has maintained a fairly strong fighting capacity.

   Back then, when Li Xin brought the forbidden army of the Right Battalion on the westward expedition, with the same number of troops, he could even gain the upper hand when he fought with the Pingnan Army head-on!

And the current Ningzhou Army, even if it is the 40,000-strong headquarters of the Ningzhou Army, that is, the combination of the remnants of the Pingnan Army and the Hanzhou Army, most of the rest are recruited along the way and trained for a few months. Whether it can collide with the forbidden army head-on is still unknown.

After Li Xin dealt with the cavalry attacking the two flanks, he simply counted the casualties of the fire gun soldiers, then he waved his hand and said solemnly to the remaining fire gun soldiers: "All with me to support the frontal battlefield! "

   He rode on a horse, took the lead, and rushed to the frontline battlefield.

   The six or seven hundred fire gun soldiers behind him, all carrying fire guns, followed behind Li Xin and went to support the frontal battlefield.

Since the Southwest Army's departure from Shu, Li Xin has maintained a relatively mysterious attitude. From Hanzhong to Luzhou, Mu Ying led the Hanzhou army to fight. After arriving in the capital, Li Shuo led the troops on the front line. The general has always been in the middle of the army, never personally commanded the army.

   But at this juncture, he can no longer pretend to be lofty.

This battle is the most critical battle of the Southwest Army's eastward expedition. After winning, the Southwest Army will deserve a lot of support. At the same time, Li Xin's next plan will be much smoother, so he must do his best to win this war!

   At this time, the frontal battlefield has become a mess!

  Since the formation of the Southwest Army, all the battles that the Southwest Army has fought have been either attacking or defending the city. With the help of Tianlei, everything went very smoothly, but this was the first time the large corps collided head-on!

  Li Shuo put on a relatively defensive position. A row of shield soldiers stood at the forefront of the army. Behind the shield soldiers were the unique throwing soldiers of the Southwest Army. Behind the throwing soldiers were thousands of archers.

   This formation was developed after the Southwest Army had a firearms battalion. As long as the formation was not overwhelmed by a wave of the enemy’s shock, the throwers and archers could cause a lot of damage to the enemy!

   However, the attack of the Imperial Army was extremely violent!

These forbidden troops are all infantry. They are all infantry. They are all armed with spears, spears and other long weapons. More importantly, although there are many of them, the formation of the attack is extremely scattered, and the two people are probably separated from each other. Two or three meters away!

This kind of formation will lead to the dispersion of the army's combat strength, which is likely to lead to the situation where one's own side fights more with less. If the combat strength of the two sides is not much different, it is very likely that the other side will directly defeat it. However, it is undeniable that this type of formation is in the Very effective against firearms!

   In this world, no one is a fool. After the imperial court has suffered so many losses from Tianlei, it is impossible to swarm out again and gather together to blow up Tianlei.

   The throwers of the Southwest Army, when training, the most basic thing is to throw the thunder into the crowd, but now that the army of the court is so scattered, their lethality of the thunder has dropped a lot.

But now, the court has not found that the posture of "lying down" can avoid most of the damage of the thunder. Squat down on the ground and use your back to resist the damage.

   In this way, although the effect of the thunderbolts was greatly weakened, it was not ineffective. Hundreds of thousands of thunderbolts were thrown on the front line, causing a large number of casualties of the forbidden army.

   However, the military quality of these banned troops is very strong. When the comrades in front were bombed to the ground, the banned troops in the back gritted their teeth and filled it up, and the entire formation was slowly and firmly advancing towards the Southwest Army camp!

   Once the banned army is close, it is still unknown whether the Southwest Army will be able to get a good deal!

   Li Shuo, who was in iron armor, was standing at the forefront of the team and commanded. After seeing this situation, he first frowned, and then gave the order decisively.

   "The throwers retreat for a while, and the archers come on the bench. Don't be stingy with your arms and shoot them!"

   He shouted: "Behind, all come on the bench!"

   "Prepare to kill the enemy!"

The archers behind them are ordinary soldiers. They either carry knives or guns, and they are still typical cold weapon troops. What Li Shuo means is that once they are approached, they are ready to fight against the forbidden army with cold weapons. .

   And he asked the throwers to suspend their throwing in order to save them some firearms. When the two sides fight together, it is unlikely that the Imperial Army will continue to maintain this loose formation, and then Tianlei will play its greatest role.

   On the frontal battlefield, the soldiers of the Imperial Army have been falling to the ground in the rain of arrows, but this proportion of casualties is acceptable.

   They have been advancing slowly!

   One hundred steps! Eighty steps!

  Li Shuo's eyes flashed fiercely, and he shouted coldly, "Brothers, the Imperial Imperial Army dares to press down like this, obviously because I feel that my Ningzhou army is useless after removing the Tianlei!"

   "They look down on us!"

   This Ningzhou general in his early thirties drew his sword from his waist and roared, "Let's kill it and let them see how powerful the Ningzhou army is!"

   As a result, the Ningzhou army headquarters was not passive, and about four or five thousand people rushed out actively to meet the slowly approaching Central Forbidden Army!

The current officers and men of the Ningzhou Army... Although they come from everywhere, almost all the generals of the Ningzhou Army are from the Pingnan Army. The Pingnan Army has been in the southwest for thirty or forty years, and its combat effectiveness is extremely good. Bian Jun, these people, of course, also have their own arrogance.

   After hearing what Li Shuo said, these Ningzhou army generals all had red eyes, pulled out the swords from their waists, and followed Li Shuo with a spear behind them!

   "Damn, the old accounts from more than ten years ago, I will settle with you today!"

At that time, the Pingnan Army was killed and injured heavily by the banned army led by Li Xin. Their remnants had to surrender to Li Xin and did not dare to repeat the old things in front of Li Xin, but when these generals from the Pingnan Army faced the banned army in front of them, It's hard to remember what happened back then.

   Some people carried long guns and charged towards the forbidden army.

   "Today is a shame, let you know that the army in the southwest is not inferior to you, the forbidden army in the capital!"

   At this time, on the frontal battlefield where the two armies were fighting, there were occasional thunder explosions.

   The two groups of people rushed together in the deafening rumbling sound.

   The sound of rushing and screaming, and the blood all over the sky, formed a very dazzling picture.

   The killing sound is shocking!

   Blood splattered!

  The hot-blooded flower of the cold weapon era still stubbornly shines under the shadow of the prototype of the hot weapon.
