The soldiers and horses from Xuanfu are much stronger than those from Datong.
Faced with the shelling of the Tiger Flag, although the Xuanfu soldiers and horses brought by Yang Guozhu were in chaos, there was no major rout, and only a few infantry escaped.
Soon, a large army consisting of more than two thousand soldiers and servants appeared in front of the formation. Under the leadership of the lieutenant general, they rushed towards the Tiger Flag.
More than two thousand officers and soldiers, including cavalry and infantry, are the most elite soldiers and horses in this army.
The cavalry charged forward, followed by the infantry.
Wang Lin stood in his own team and ordered: "Order the spearmen to resist the horses, and the fireguns to wait for the opportunity to shoot the invading officers and soldiers."
"Yes." The messenger went to deliver the order.
"More than 2,000 people want to capture my camp. They look down upon our Fifth Soldier Camp." Wang Lin looked at the officers and soldiers rushing in his direction with a cold face.
Since the fifth military battalion appeared on the battlefield, several thousand-man troops have always remained in formation.
The messenger sent the order.
The thousand-man team of spearmen made a move to resist the horse, and the thousand-man team of firecrackers lined up in front of the spearmen's phalanx, raising the firecrackers in their hands.
The war horses stepped on the ground and made a rumble of hoofbeats.
Beep!
A whistle suddenly sounded.
boom! Bang...bang!
The whistle was like a gate. The moment it appeared, more than a hundred firecrackers were fired.
Many of the officers and cavalry who rushed at the front were hit by fire cannons and fell off their horses one after another. Some of the horses were hit by lead and iron beads and fell to the ground with a cry.
The momentum of the cavalry charge was hindered. In addition to the casualties, the cavalry following behind also slowed down involuntarily because of the extra corpses on the ground.
In this way, the fire gunmen of the Tiger Flag will be given more opportunities to use fire cannons.
The marbles and lead fired from the firecrackers flew out as if they were free, taking away the lives of the officers and soldiers.
After a series of firecrackers blocked the attack, hundreds of cavalry finally rushed over. At this time, the firecrackers in front of the formation had already retreated to the rear, leaving a phalanx of spearmen in front.
An official cavalryman waved his sword and slashed at the spearmen in front of him, and crashed into the spearmen's phalanx.
The spears placed forward one after another were pierced into the body of the war horse. Before the war horses and the cavalry on horseback rushed into the spearmen's phalanx, the war horses were unable to fall because they were stabbed by the spears.
The cavalryman on horseback fell off his horse and was thrown around. Before he could recover, he was immediately stabbed to death by a spear from behind.
The running war horse carried strong inertia. Although the war horse was stabbed to death by a spear, the powerful impact still overturned a fully armored spearman.
There were several spearmen on the side who were knocked to the ground by the impact of the horses, and even several spears were broken.
The spearmen in the rear row dragged the injured spearmen to the back and replaced the new spearmen in the vacant positions.
A small number of official cavalry attacked the spear phalanx and caused casualties to the spearmen of the Tiger Flag. However, they themselves did not escape the disaster. All the men and horses were stabbed to death by the spears.
More official cavalry stopped when they approached the spear phalanx.
It was not the rider controlling the horse to stop, but the horse feeling the threat posed by the spears and stopping on its own to avoid the phalanx of spears in front.
The sound of firecrackers from behind the spear phalanx sounded again.
This time, these cavalrymen of the official army were closer to the fire gunmen, which made them more accurate for the fire gunmen.
One by one, the official cavalry were hit by fire cannons and fell off their horses. Some of the horses were hit, and the riders on the horses were thrown off and stabbed to death with spears.
It didn't take long, and most of the hundreds of cavalry who rushed to the front of the spearmen's phalanx were killed by the fire. In the end, only a few dozen cavalry managed to escape.
The infantry following the official cavalry had no resistance at all, and were eliminated by the cooperation of spearmen and gunmen.
These infantrymen didn't even have a chance to escape. Those who survived chose to throw away their weapons and surrender to the Tiger Flag.
Neither the spearmen nor the gunmen spared their energy to take care of the surrendered infantry of the army, but chose to advance in the direction of the army.
There are baggage teams to take over the management of these surrendered officers and soldiers.
In addition to Wang Lin's fifth combat soldier camp advancing, Jia Liu's second combat soldier camp also began to advance.
One of the dozens of cavalrymen who escaped from the army was the deputy general leading the army.
It wasn't that he was lucky, but that he was surrounded by soldiers and servants. Under the protection of these soldiers and servants, he escaped with his life and returned to Yang Guozhu.
"Sir, we are defeated. All the elite of the army must have been lost in the hands of the general." The deputy general said with a tearful face.
Yang Guozhu's face was livid.
At this moment, he wanted to chop the deputy general in front of him with a knife, but his reason told him that he couldn't do this. Once he really killed this person, the other generals would be in danger, and the subsequent battle would be even harder to fight.
"Sir, the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag are coming." A general noticed the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag advancing little by little.
At this time, the artillery bombardment above the heads of the officers and soldiers was still continuing. Even though the army had dispersed, some people were still killed by the artillery fire of the Tiger Flag.
"Your Majesty, please retreat! If you don't retreat, all the possessions of Xuan Mansion will be lost here." The deputy general who returned from the defeat persuaded.
Yang Guozhu glared at his deputy general and said: "I still have tens of thousands of troops, so I am not defeated. I will personally lead the troops to kill the enemy this time. Where is the flag officer?"
"exist."
Several small flags carrying command flags stood up.
Yang Guozhu looked straight at the tiger-character flag soldiers and horses in front of him, and said expressionlessly: "Blow the drum, and order the army to follow me to kill the enemy."
Boom! Boom...boom!
Rapid drum beats sounded in the ranks of the officers and soldiers.
"All officers and men listen to the order and follow me to kill the bandits!" Yang Guozhu shouted, holding a big sword, and rushed out first.
His soldiers were also not slow and rushed out to guard around him.
Other generals also raised their weapons and charged with Yang Guozhu under the protection of their own soldiers.
There were not many cavalry left in the official army, most of them were infantry. The general's flag followed Yang Guozhu, and the infantry followed the general's flag and charged forward.
The charge of an army of over 10,000 people gave people the feeling that the mountains and plains were filled with government troops.
Liu Heng, who was in the distance, put down the monocular in his hand and said to himself: "After winning this time, Yang Guozhu and the troops of Xuanfu will no longer be able to fight back."
The officers and soldiers dispatched all their troops, and the tiger-shaped flag also pressed down on the two military camps.
Compared with the loose charge of the officers and soldiers, several thousand-man teams of the Tiger Flag have formed battle formations, waiting for the approaching officers and soldiers.
