Just at the forty paces, a sharp whistle sounded in the queue of Xuzhou thieves. At this moment, the chaotic team immediately stopped being chaotic. Layers of spears were erected in the formation, row by row.

The spears pointed forward, and the Xuzhou bandit soldiers at the front picked up firecrackers in rows and began to fire. Rows of firecrackers fired, with continuous explosions and white smoke filling the air.

The fire gun servants did not raise their muzzles and aim at the cavalry on horseback. They just placed them on the wooden fork and fired normally. But they were close enough to each other, and they fired in two or three rows. The whole team fired in large rounds, running in front of them.

Almost all the horses in the front were shot.

The mount of the official cavalry was hit, and the one who was killed immediately fell to his knees. When he charged just now, the speed was too fast and the momentum was too great. After falling, he couldn't stop the momentum at all, so he rolled forward and immediately

The cavalrymen had no time to take off their stirrups, and they just rolled with the horses. In a few seconds, their muscles and bones were broken and they died.

After all, horses are much stronger than the human body, and some are not fatal after being shot. However, the mount is in pain and jumps up with a wild neigh. It is also a disaster to make such an action under the momentum of running forward. Otherwise, the cavalry on the horse will not be fatal.

Being thrown off, trampled by the hooves of the horses behind, or falling down with the horses, the end is no better than the former, but by this time, it is too late to stop the momentum.

Even if the horse that was hit was killed and seriously injured, and its legs were broken in the jumping and beating, the inertia of running forward was still there, and it just rushed forward, but the speed was getting slower and slower. Zhao Ziying's fire gun servant dared to

When firing within a distance of forty steps, they also dare to spread out to both sides immediately after firing, instead of subconsciously dodging backwards, just like that, layer by layer, revealing the companions behind.

The firecrackers kept blasting, but the charge of the army and cavalry could not be stopped. The rear part was okay. As long as the charge was forward, some people had already seen that the front was not good, and tried desperately to move their horses to dodge, but the horses were

The consequence of changing direction while running is to fall, causing chaos in the team, or being trampled mercilessly by the mounts of your companions.

This process is actually very short, but everyone who is involved in it feels that it is extremely long. The firecrackers keep firing, and the corpses of cavalry and horses continue to pile up in front of them. Those who rush behind are constantly tripped by these corpses. The speed is so fast between death and death.

The serious injury slowed down, and the explosion of fire guns stopped, and the team stopped a hundred steps away from Zhao Ziying's line. The entire official cavalry was in chaos.

Some people got up from the ground, some were controlling their mounts, and some wanted to turn their mounts around and escape.

"This is an ambush!" someone had already shouted.

"These guys in Xuzhou are still big bugs, let's go!" It's easy for morale to rise, but it's not slow to decline. Although the cavalry led by Qin Daning are elite officers and soldiers, except for the few hundred cavalry from Nanjing, the rest

They are all frightened birds who have suffered losses. It is okay to go smoothly, but how can they still be stable at this time?

Cold sweat broke out on Qin Daning's face. He could be considered a person who had experienced the border. He felt that he had seen all kinds of scenes, but he did not expect such a sharp firearm. However, he could probably estimate the range. It was now more than a hundred miles away.

The infantry should not be killed anymore. The current method is to organize the team. If the cavalry breaks up, there will also be big trouble.

"Brothers, retreat, retreat!" Qin Daning shouted on his horse, and the soldiers and guards around him also shouted. It was like a shout, and suddenly there was a muffled roar in the distance, which sounded like thunder, but now

It's late winter, so why is there thunder?

A whistling sound rang out from the right front of the cavalry, and they quickly approached. People with sharp eyes could even see an iron ball flying towards them. The cavalryman closest to the other side tried desperately to dodge, but was still a moment too slow, and half of his body exploded into flesh and blood.

, the mount was frightened, and stood up with a long hiss. The seven cavalry were passed by the cannonball, and each of their upper bodies were exploded. Finally, the cannonball fell on the horse, smashing the cavalry's thighs to pieces, but this

It cannot be explained how lucky the cavalryman was. The horse was hit by the huge force of the cannonball and fell down, because the saddle dispersed the power of the cannonball, but the horse's body was already bent.

"Artillery, the thieves have artillery!" This shout was no longer shouted by Qin Daning, the guerrilla of the Governor's Biaoying Camp. Qin Daning's face was covered in cold sweat. He no longer knew how to deal with the situation in front of him. Shouldn't this cannon be owned only by the imperial army?

?Why are there Xuzhou thieves? And how can the other party calculate so accurately and fix the artillery at that position in advance, so that it can hit its own cavalry as soon as the gun is fired.

The roars rang out one after another, and the shells pierced the air and whistled intertwinedly. The army and horse teams were in complete chaos. Everyone wanted to avoid it and disperse, but both sides of the road were full of carriages, horses and luggage abandoned by Zhao Ziying when he "escaped". In a hurry,

How to ride horses to jump across, and there is a canal not far to the left of the team. The water is shallow in winter but it is enough to drown people. The team becomes more and more chaotic and entangled, and they cannot disperse.

The cannonballs fell in the middle of the team. Each cannonball would take away the lives of several or even a dozen people. The horses panicked and kept throwing the cavalry off their horses. Some horses were even hit by the cannonballs and weighed several hundred kilograms.

The healthy horse was actually hit and flew up. Although it didn't fly very high, it was still enough to kill people nearby.

"Let's go, let's go!" Qin Daning no longer needed to say this. His personal guards directly stretched out their hands to grab the general's reins, turned their horses and walked back. The officers and cavalry in the rear also probably turned their horses at this time.

Without any orders, everyone wants to escape. At this time, no one cares about military orders. They just wish they could have more legs.

As soon as the mount started running, the cool breeze it brought up stirred up, and Qin Daning finally came to his senses. The plan to deal with the leader of the Xuzhou thieves seemed to have failed. This Xuzhou thieves were really difficult to deal with. No wonder there were soldiers and horses everywhere.

So hesitant to move forward, I wrongly blamed these people in Nanzhili in the past.

Before he could run a few steps forward, Qin Daning subconsciously tightened the reins. Years of riding horses had given him good reflexes. However, at this moment, Qin Daning just wanted to curse. Although the sound of cannons behind him was sparse, every sound made people laugh.

I was so frightened that I couldn't stay far away from this fatal place, so why did I stop my horse?

Qin Daning saw the reason before he cursed. In front of the road, a group of cavalry was waiting there, and more cavalry were gathering from all sides, and there were even some coming off the canal boats. From a distance,

There is a dense darkness, like a high wall blocking the road. Judging from this momentum, I will definitely not be able to beat it.

Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw a horse running towards them from the opposite side. This made the already panicked team even more confused. But everyone also knew that there was no way to escape at this time. If the other side wanted to annihilate themselves,

, I definitely won’t send just this one here.

"Surrender or die, I'll count twenty, don't wait until the deadline!" the cavalryman who came over shouted.

Only then did everyone understand that the Xuzhou cavalry was not wearing black cotton-padded clothes, but steel armor and a velvet cloak. Seeing this equipment, everyone knew they could not beat him.

"Brothers, let's." Qin Daning was really unwilling to surrender. As soon as he shouted a few words, he saw the unkind looks cast by the people around him. He cursed, regardless of other people's reactions, and greeted his own soldiers.

Escape, Qin Daning finally reached the position of Fubiao guerrilla, and he still wanted to make great achievements. He had to surrender to the traitors, and he would never be able to clean himself up in this life.

It was said that everyone had a camaraderie and surrendered and fled on both sides, but as soon as they turned their horses and walked a few steps, they heard the screams of the soldiers around them. It turned out that the people around them had already taken action, so why should they be dragged together even if they surrendered? Qin Daning cursed and waved

The knife blocked the attack around him, and before he could counterattack, he was thrown off his horse and fell to pieces. He only heard the elites from Langshan shouting: "Heroes from Xuzhou, the thief general Qin Daning

We have already captured it!"

The oncoming officer cavalry did not offer any resistance at this time. They dropped their weapons as ordered and lay down next to their mounts with their heads in their hands. Some people looked up and found that more people were pouring out of the camp. This made everyone feel frustrated.

I realized that Zhao Ziying had set up an ambush here, and the guide who reported the news had already been hit by a shell, and even his body was gone.

The servants and patrols worked together to move the bodies of the men and horses aside, and the farmers who owned their own farms came to search for useful things. The prisoners were tied up and taken away, the weapons were loaded onto carts, and the horses were gathered together.

aside.

The dejected prisoners of the army were strung together with ropes and led towards the north. The horsemen from Zhao Ziying who were leading their retreat had also approached, and most of the prisoners did not dare to raise their heads.

And Qin Daning boldly took a look at these cavalrymen. The horses were good horses, with small teeth and strong, and the people were good soldiers. Even though they were standing there, they could still see their usual training and status, which made Fubiao guerrilla Qin Daning's eyes tremble.

What jumped out was the armor. I had to wait until I got to this position to get a set of mountain armor. It was covered with chain mail. It was enough to protect me from arrows, swords and cuts on the battlefield, but the ordinary cavalry of the Xuzhou thieves seemed to be wearing iron armor.

The boards were put together piece by piece. With so much iron coming from there, could it be made of wood? But the luster was not it. Qin Daning wanted to take a closer look, but was pushed hard from behind. He had to keep moving forward, thinking as he walked,

I heard that the Xuzhou bandit leader was under thirty. How could this be possible? How could such a huge situation and such sophisticated use of troops be accomplished by a young man?

Qin Daning did not expect that Zhao Jin was standing nearby and even looked at him a few times. Dong Bingfeng, the son of Qianhu, the traitor who presided over Qingjiangpu, was beside Zhao Jin.

"Right now, you must gather your troops and head south to defeat the governor's Biao camp and the Langshan troops. I estimate that the killers in Yangzhou City will not even think of escaping. Pull them out of the city!" Zhao Jin opened his mouth and said, Dong

Bingfeng quickly agreed.

After a pause, Dong Bingfeng asked: "Brother, if they are in the city, should we go in and arrest them?"
