Sun Lei rode back to the front of the battle, while Hu Yanzhuo was still fighting with Yang Zhi, fighting with golden swords and whips, and for a while it was impossible to tell the winner. Qinbei Pavilion
"elder brother!"
Xu Ning, Hua Rong and others were overjoyed to see Sun Lei back and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Don't worry, everything has been resolved. Just fight with peace of mind."
Sun Lei looked at everyone with a smile and said, these words made everyone feel more confident. What they are most worried about now is that Coach Zhang is coming to kill them. It is not good for them to take action or not to take action.
"Sun Lei!"
Huang Wenbing's face changed drastically when he saw Sun Lei coming back alone with a smile on his face. Sun Lei's return with a smile meant that his evil plan had failed, and Coach Zhang was probably not dead.
When those people watching the ceremony behind the water ring saw Sun Lei coming back, they also guessed the result, and they looked in admiration that such troublesome things could be solved easily.
"The army covers and kills! Covers and kills!"
Huang Wenbing was furious, lost his mind and let the army rush to kill him. There were 10,000 troops behind him, and only two or three thousand people in Liangshan on the opposite side. He could enter Liangshanbo in a while.
"kill!"
Before Han Tao and Peng Qi could react, drums sounded and the army began to charge.
"don't want!"
Hu Yanzhuo was panicked when he heard the shouts of killing. He had not won here. The enemy was so powerful and had already made defense preparations. It would be extremely stupid to charge to cover up the kill at this time.
But Hu Yanzhuo's shouts could not stop the army from charging. The war drums were already rising, who dared not move forward? Six thousand infantrymen lined up and charged over.
Upon seeing this, Yang Zhi abandoned Hu Yanzhuo and rode back to command the army's defense.
Hu Yanzhuo lost interest in fighting and drew his horse back to the formation.
"Prefect Huang, the enemy's military formation is not in chaos and is covered by terrain and warships. Recall the army quickly!"
Hu Yanzhuo said to Huang Wenbing.
"Humph, the enemy only has a few thousand people. Our ten thousand army can't kill them? General Huyan, let's see the army crush the bandits' stronghold."
Huang Wenbing didn't take it seriously. In their opinion, 6,000 infantrymen broke through the enemy's formation, and 4,000 cavalrymen rushed directly into the water, and the war was over.
Seeing the imperial army coming, many civilians who were watching the excitement hurriedly retreated. Although there was a water ring to block it, and there was a Liangshan army at the entrance, there were too many officers and soldiers, almost three times more than the Liangshan army.
"Uncle, shall we withdraw first?"
Li Yan looked at Li Zhu nervously and asked. The imperial army was coming to cover them up. If the Liangshan army could not stop them, they would be in danger.
"The battle hasn't started yet. Don't panic. Don't lose the face of me, a hero from Huaixi."
Li Zhu looked at Li Yan and said, The more courage you can show at this time, the people from Liangshan will retreat. If they leave, won't they be outdone? The courage of the Jianghu hero must not be lost.
"I think the people in Liangshan are very confident, and I'm afraid they have some countermeasures."
Yuan Lang squinted at the battlefield and said, "The Liangshan army has only retreated to the water ring, relying on the warships on the water, and has no intention of retreating."
"Yes, then Sun Lei is still in front of the formation, so he must have a countermeasure in advance."
Du Bo nodded and said, he kept looking at Sun Lei. At this moment, Sun Lei was standing in front of the formation on horseback, surrounded by leaders, not panicking at all.
Fang Jie on the other side was indeed uneasy. He had already begun to fantasize about what he would do if he dealt with so many officers and soldiers.
"Protector Deng, what do you think?"
Lou Minzhong looked at Deng Yuanjue. He couldn't guess what Sun Lei relied on.
"Sun Lei is superficial and good at hiding his thoughts. The poor monk never guessed it. But judging from the last encounter, Sun Lei is fully prepared for everything he does."
Deng Yuanjue shook his head and said, Sun Lei's exaggerated appearance makes it difficult for people to grasp his thinking habits and guess what he is thinking. However, from the last incident in Jiangnan, it can be seen that Sun Lei is thoughtful and by no means a fool.
"I would like to see what Sun Lei can do to defeat those soldiers."
Du Hui said with disdain, although the Liangshan army was well equipped, its number was too small. Facing several times the number of officers and soldiers, how could Jianghu Shanzhai be an opponent?
"Brother Song Jiang, let's leave quickly. Liangshan is about to be defeated."
Shi En regrets it very much now. If he had known that the world was so dangerous, it would be better to stay in Mengzhou Happy Forest Xiaoyao happily.
"Brother, Sun Lei is too trusting. With so many officers and soldiers, as well as cavalry troops, how can he defeat him?"
Mu Chun looked at Mu Hong and said.
"Brother Song Jiang, let's withdraw!"
Mu Hong looked at Song Jiang and said, and the others also looked at Song Jiang. They all thought that Sun Lei could not stop the attack of the imperial army.
"Chao Baozheng, what do you think?"
Song Jiang looked at Chao Gai next to him and asked, Liangshan was not an easy place for him to start. After thinking about it, he thought it would be better to go to Qingzhou Mansion with Chao Gai, where the people in the world should be more respectable to him.
"Brother Gongming, there are so many heroes here, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to leave."
Chao Gai shook his head, his blood was boiling now, so he couldn't rush forward to deal with the imperial officers and soldiers together with Sun Lei, showing off the aura of a hero.
"That's what I mean too, let's just watch it first."
Song Jiang nodded and said with a smile that he was not afraid of the victory of the army. He had Cai Jing behind him. If things went wrong, Cai Jing would be removed at worst, and he would be invincible no matter who won.
"elder brother!"
Yang Zhi looked at Sun Lei.
"fire!"
Sun Lei smiled and raised the dragon-headed stick in his hand, and a cannon was launched from the side of the Loach warship in the river and lake behind him, with the muzzle facing the incoming officers and soldiers.
"fire!"
Ling Zhen roared.
"Boom boom boom!"
There was a burst of explosions, and the black gun barrels sprayed out fiery snakes. As the smoke rose, the cannonballs fell among the officers and soldiers. The cannonballs were invincible, regardless of whether they were holding shields or wearing armor. As long as they are hit by artillery shells, they will be torn into pieces at least, or turned into flesh at worst, with broken arms and limbs flying in the military formation.
The officers and soldiers who were so powerful just now were instantly blinded by the cannons. Fear quickly spread. Seeing the cannons on the opposite ship spraying murderous shells, each shot killed more than ten people. The soldiers could no longer care. As soon as there was a military order, I ran back. I just wanted to leave this terrible battlefield quickly and escape from the range of the artillery.
The power of the artillery stunned Yang Zhi and others. They had never thought that the war would undergo such earth-shaking changes due to a piece of equipment. Once the artillery was released, it was invincible, and the enemy immediately threw away their armor and fled.
"Military advisor, this artillery is too terrifying!"
Fei Bao looked at Wen Huanzhang on the boat and said, with artillery now, what else can we do in water battles? He can just fire the cannon on the side. After a few waves, the enemy will not die but will be crippled.
"In fact, the deterrent power of this artillery is far greater than its lethality."
Wen Huanzhang shook his head and smiled.
"What do you mean by this, military advisor? Didn't you defeat the enemy with just a few rounds of shelling?"
Ruan Xiaoer asked doubtfully.
"Look, forty artillery fires for four rounds, how many enemies were actually killed? It was only close to a thousand. Compared to the enemy's 10,000-strong army, what are the casualties of nearly a thousand? On the real battlefield, the two armies Hedging, I'm afraid more than a few people will be killed when a round of crossbows is fired. The enemy is not repulsed, but frightened. I was frightened by this unfamiliar firearm."
"If the enemy has a full understanding of firearms and can rush into the formation and fight in a melee at the cost of nearly a thousand lives, artillery will be completely useless."
Wen Huanzhang shook his head and said that the terrible thing about artillery is its power and range, but its shortcomings are also obvious. It is bulky and inflexible, and it is just a pile of scrap metal at close range.
