At the top of Zhongmu City, Liu Lin looked at the Song army outside the city with a look of horror. He saw that in the morning sun, many copper pipes were lying on the ground, with a few soldiers working on them, and he didn't know what to do. There were many iron lumps next to the copper pipes, which looked a bit scary.

Feng Changning said: "I heard that in Hedong, Talai Langjun's army was defeated by the Song army with iron bullets. Look at the piles outside, aren't they iron bullets? Should the Song army also use this object to attack Zhongmu City? But I don't know how to throw it to the top of the city."

With the cool morning breeze, a horn sounded, and the sound was low and distant.

As the horn sounded, the soldiers next to the copper tube outside began to be busy. Some people put gunpowder into the tube, some people picked up iron bullets and put them on the gunpowder. For a while, they were busy and neat, which made the people on the city confused. With the order from Zuo Yuhou Tong Yuanqing, the command of Zuo Yuhou, the flag was shook quickly, and the gunner lit the cannon.

Liu Lin was on the top of the city and couldn't understand what Song Jun was doing. He stretched his neck and wanted to see it urgently. He heard a muffled sound, black smoke came out of the copper tube, and the city wall under his feet suddenly trembled sharply.

He fell to the ground all of a sudden, and his body slid down the city wall. Liu Lin said in horror: "What's going on? What's going on? The city wall collapsed? What magic did Song Jun use outside the city? How could the city wall collapse?"

At this moment, the Song army outside the city had already rushed over, shouting and killing loudly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the personal soldiers hurried forward to support Liu Lin and said, "Prince, the city wall has collapsed, how can the county town be defended? Should I bring some elite soldiers and flee to Baisha Town to meet with Li Cheng. The tens of thousands of troops in my hand can still deal with the Song army."

Liu Lin stood up and cheered up. He saw that the east wall of Zhongmu County had collapsed, and many of his soldiers and generals were struggling in the rubble. The Song army outside the city lined up and rushed straight towards the gap.

In the small county of Zhongmu, the 20,000 troops stationed in Liu Lin were filled with stuff. Suddenly, the city wall collapsed, and other troops who did not guard the city were panicked and ran around like headless flies. In a short while, the city was in chaos.

Liu Lin stomped his feet suddenly: "Zhi Ma, I'm talking to Song Jun today!"

After saying that, he hurriedly waved his generals to fix the soldiers in the city as much as possible, and went out of the west gate to escape to Baisha Town.

Lu Yuandeng led his subordinates to the front, quickly filled the trench and rushed straight to the gap in the city wall. The defenders were not prepared at all, so what would be the opponent of the Song army? In less than half an hour, the Song army rushed to the city.

Feng Changning said to Liu Lin: "The Song army has come into the city, the prince should leave quickly! If he is dragged by the Song army, the consequences are really hard to say!"

Liu Lin nodded and said, "Senator travels with me. The Song army is in the east of the city. We go out to the west gate and meet Li Cheng at Baisha!"

After saying that, he commanded his men to organize one or two thousand people and opened the West Gate.

The front troops walked out of the horse's face and were about to form a formation when they heard a few muffled sounds. Then they saw a few iron bullets flying towards him like lightning. Before they could dodge, the dozen people in front all hit the ground.

The survivor shouted: "No, there are iron bullets from the Song people here! Today's fate is unsuccessful and I can't get rid of it!"

Liu Lin looked at Feng Changning, then looked at the chaotic city, and said in a deep voice: "The matter is irreversible, we can only escape immediately. The Senate must follow me closely and not get separated. We will take our personal soldiers to Baisha Town!"

After saying that, he brought dozens of personal soldiers, Feng Changning and others to follow his confidants and ran out of the city.

Most of the troops had no command and were circling around the city gate. Some went outside the horse's face to form formations and prepare for combat. Before the formation was formed, the second round of artillery of the Song army had arrived. Only then did the puppet Qi army realize that the iron bullets came out of the copper in front.

Gunpowder has already existed, and stone cannons are also common in the army. Gradually, some people realized that it might be the new cannon of the Song army. It was because they had no way to deal with it, so they could only be bombarded by the Song army. It won’t take long before the army surrendered one after another.

Liu Lin had more than 20,000 people in Zhongmu County. In order to prevent accidents, Niu Gao only arranged a few cannons one mile away from the west gate, but did not siege them. It was considered a way of siege and one. Taking advantage of this road of life, Liu Lin led his personal soldiers and one or two thousand people who ran out of chaos, escaped from the Heaven of Heaven. The rest of the troops were surrounded and annihilated by the Song army.

Baisha Town was less than twenty miles away from Zhongmu. Li Cheng sent troops to support him and connected Liu Lin and others into the army.

In the tent of Niugao in the west of the city, several people sat in front of the map, looking at the attached situation chart.

Staff Officer Xu Yan sorted out the situation of the war ahead and said to Niu Gao: "Du Yuhou, Liu Lin led a few confidants to Baisha Town, and fled less than 2,000 people. The rest of the troops were surrounded in Zhongmu City, and the troops were clearing out the remaining enemies."

Niu Gao said: "How many casualties do we suffer?"

Xu Yan said: "About 60 people were killed and more than 200 people were injured."

Niu Gao said to the rest: "There are less than 300 casualties, and this battle was pretty. According to the agreement with Cao Zhiyan, we will encircle Baisha Town tomorrow. It is still early now. You go to the various ministries to take a look, and let them repair it immediately after the battle is over. Let them set off early tomorrow morning!"

All the generals agreed to the promise and left the commander's account to visit each department.

Niu Gao looked at the map and said to Xu Yan: "Baisha Town is adjacent to Jinshui River. There are no ferries on the river, so it can be considered dead. After this battle, Liu Lin had only more than 10,000 people in Baisha. We plus Cao Zhiyan's troops had a total of more than 30,000 people. Three to one, we must wipe out the pseudo-Qi army!"

Xu Yan nodded. After thinking for a while, he said, "Li Cheng is also a famous general. He should not wait for us to encircle in Baisha Town. Du Yuhou, would he break through at night? He can't walk in the east or in the west. If Li Cheng led his army south, there would be no army to intercept him for a while."

Niu Gao said: "If you leave at night, you will be defeated. Whether it is us or Cao Zhiyan, they can chase them to the point where they are gone. Li Cheng is also a famous general and cannot be willing to end like this. No matter what, he can still fight with more than 10,000 people in his hands."

Xu Yan said: "If we fight, more than 10,000 people will not be enough. We moved the cannons over, and Li Cheng would not know what to do, so he might be in the cannon range. At that time, the cannons would be bombarded and they would be in chaos."

Niu Gao smiled and said, "Jiang Min played this game at the top of the Shenshan City and won a great victory. Why don't we catch the medicine according to the prescription?"

Xu Yan said: "It's all done with cannons. In this way, it's a bit too hard to win. But isn't such a battle the most interesting?"

Infantry in this era, when facing an army equipped with field artillery, they could not form a formation. How to fight? The army with quick reactions could also withdraw the army in time and then re-arrange the formation. Liu Lin's army did not have this ability.

No matter what victory is not good, the most important thing is to end the war with the simplest method. After suffering such a huge loss, the Jin army and the pseudo-Qi will do their best to study the tactics of Wang Xiaoli's army. The artillery will not be hidden for long. By the next battle, it will not be so smooth. So how could Niu Gao give up this great opportunity? The artillery in the army now does not even need to be specially arranged, just pull it to the front of the formation to blast.

The enemy set up a good formation, and the cannons here blew up, and the enemy's formation was soon in chaos. At this time, the army covered it and it was a great victory, and the battle process was simple and clear.
