The Zhejiang Army’s firearms are still very exquisite. Many of these firearms are made by the workshops in Jiangnan. They are much more sophisticated than the products of the Ming Dynasty’s Ministry of Works and can be used with confidence.

The bandit army finally rushed within twenty steps of the Ming army's chariot formation. A personal soldier beside Gao Shixin shook the red flag in his hand, and the white-rod soldiers walked out from the gap between the chariot and the chariot, walked to the front of the chariot formation, and pointed a white wax rod hook and sickle spear at the enemy. In fact, it was not that the Qi family army could not fight hand-to-hand combat. In fact, the Qi family army's hand-to-hand combat capability was also very strong, but the Mandarin Duck Formation was only suitable for small-scale combat. In such large-scale field battles, the Qi family army still relied on firearms and used the chariot formation to meet the enemy.

This is when the White Rod Soldiers are used. The White Rod Soldiers with extremely strong melee combat capabilities can even deal with the heavy infantry of the Later Jin army, let alone the mobs in front of them.

Groups of thieves rushed up. As the cold light of a row of guns flashed, the thieves who hit the white-rod spear formation screamed and fell down a large area. The thieves who rushed in the front were stabbed into a blood-filled nest of horses and fell one after another.

The white-rod soldiers blocked the large group of bandits from the front, and the Qi family army outputted firepower behind them; Gao Shixin's Liaoyang New Town came out from both wings and entered the bandits' formation. The light cavalry on both wings moved to both sides, and shot arrows into the bandits' formation from time to time.

The five hundred factory guards all dismounted, arranged in three rows of formations.

"Line in line, go forward and shoot!" Zhang Yong shouted.

The first row of 160 elite factory guards picked up self-generated muskets and pointed the trigger at the bandits thirty steps away. A dazzling blood mist sprayed from the crowd of thieves, and a large row of bandits fell down one after another. The first row of elite factory guards loaded ammunition on the spot, the second row and the third row of elite factory guards walked forward, and the second row of elite factory guards held the self-generated muskets and pulled the trigger at the crowd of thieves. Another large group of bandits fell down screaming. Then the second row of loaded on the spot, the third row of muskets walked forward, surpassing the second row of muskets, and pulled the trigger at the crowd of thieves. A row of roaring guns, and then the first row of elite factory guards had been loaded, passing the second row of factory guards loading ammunition, and picked up the muskets and fired...

With such a circular shooting, five hundred elite factory guards advanced forward step by step, like a sharp lawn mower. The thieves were crowded in front of them, like an oversized onion, peeled off layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer. On the way forward of the factory guards, the bodies in front piled up into a hill.

The skin of the onion was peeled off layer by layer, revealing the elite thief behind it.

Among those thieves, there were many martial arts masters with very strong martial arts skills, but they were also living targets in front of the self-generated musket formation of the Five Hundred Factory Guards. Both melee masters and archers were knocked down one by one.

Although the archers still have some strength to fight back, their bows and arrows cannot penetrate the exquisite armor on the factory guards. The factory guards' guns shot the thieves' archers' masters into a pool of blood.

These elite factory guards were wearing black mountain armor and a layer of iron cotton armor inside. Even heavy arrows from the Later Gold could not penetrate their armor. They wore six-petal wide-brimmed iron helmets, facing the arrows shot towards their faces. As long as they lowered their heads slightly and blocked them with the brim of the iron helmet, the arrows shot were bounced to the ground.

The only hand-to-hand combat soldiers who can break the armor of elite factory guards are hand-to-hand combat soldiers holding heavy weapons such as hammers and axes, but the hand-to-hand combat soldiers do not even think of getting close to them. The three rows of self-generated muskets have been continuously continuous and they have never stopped.

"The Eagle Claw Sun's firearm is so powerful!"

"So amazing! Can shoot continuously!"

"Why are they loading ammunition so fast?"

"Run!"

The elite factory guards took action, and the bandits finally collapsed completely and turned around and ran away. Such elite factory guards were indeed invincible when they were put into the battlefield. Even if they faced the elite Later Jin army, it was probably impossible for them to defeat such elite factory guards without more than five times the number of Later Jin army. However, these elite factory guards had one disadvantage: it was too expensive! A pair of such an excellent Shanwen Armor was worth at least fifty taels of silver.

Breeding a musket is not a cheap thing. An excellent gun barrel costs ten taels of silver, and a gun mechanism also costs ten taels of silver, mainly because the spring steel strips are expensive. With an excellent embroidered spring knife, a triangular bayonet, two short guns and a war horse, the equipment of each soldier is more than one hundred taels of silver. With training costs and military pay, such a soldier costs three hundred taels of silver, which is worth the life of many farmers' family.

Such luxury soldiers cannot be trained more. To train more elite factory guards, they have to wait until the machine tool forging plate armor, forging spring steel, and gun barrels drilled from drilling machines and drilling machines are released. The price of such self-generated musketeers will be cheaper.

"Stop them! Block them! Escape at the battle and kill without mercy!" Xu Hongru shouted anxiously.

However, no matter how a group of martial arts masters around Xu Hongru cut down the defeated deserters, they could not stop the pace of the defeated soldiers. The defeated bandits were like a flood, carrying Xu Hongru and his personal guards to join the defeated crowd.

"Kill!" Zhang Yong opened his voice and shouted loudly.

The factory guards dracos all set up their horses and drew their sabers to pursue the bandits behind them. Mangui and others also changed their horses and chased the bandits with the dragon cavalry.

The Baigang soldiers and the Liaoyang New Army also began to chase the thieves. Although they were infantry, the Baigang soldiers ran slowly. They were wearing light and invulnerable vine armor and holding light white wax hook and sickle spear, and ran very quickly. The Liaoyang New Army was a modern army trained by Gao Shixin according to the thinking of the modern army. Although there were not enough firearms or even flintlock guns, a modern army, even if they were holding cold weapons, could easily defeat the feudal army as long as they had excellent armor, let alone these mobs in front of them.

Xu Hongru's 100,000 army was defeated, escaped the canal and fled to Zou County.

Man Gui's 500 light cavalry and Zhang Yong's 500 dragon cavalry followed behind the bandit army and chased them reluctantly, but Xu Hongru and his gang in front just crossed the canal and left more than 70,000 people wrapped up on the west bank of the canal.

"We surrender, please spare your life!" The desperate bandits knelt on the ground and surrendered to the chasing thousand cavalry.

"The surrenders are bound by themselves! We can ensure your safety!" Man Gui shouted.

The surrendered sect bandits tied each other up, and the Ming cavalry tied the sect bandits into strings with a long connected rope, and carried them westward to find Gao Shixin.

"Defeat the bandits, behead 20,000, and capture 70,000!" Shandong Governor Zhao Yan was happy and worried when he heard the result of the battle. What he was happy was that he was a local official in Shandong, and even the Jinyiwei suppressed the rebellion, he had his merits. What he was worried about was that the bandit army was actually defeated by the foreign army. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from Shandong were waiting to cut off their heads and make merits. As a result, all the merits were taken away by the foreign army, which made the local generals lose a chance to make merits?

The local garrison troops in Shandong can be said to be rotten to the bottom. If they were taken to the Liaodong battlefield, they would give away their heads. Not to mention going to the Liaodong battlefield, they would give away their heads when they met Mongolians.

But no matter how bad the military army is, it is enough to deal with Xu Hongru's mob, which is the only small opportunity for the military army to make meritorious contributions. In order to stabilize the local military officers, Zhao Yan could only decide to ask the factory guards for the factory guards and let the factory guards give some credit to the local guards below.
