At this time, Lu Youyi regretted not bringing the artillery over. If he had brought the artillery over, he would not have faced such a dilemma.
The Datong frontier army has been dealing with the Mongolian Tatars all year round, so Lu Gueryi can still deal with hundreds of cavalry with ease, but with the thousands of people rushing past, it is a bit difficult to deal with it.
"Firearmsmen, where are the firearmsmen? Gather them quickly."
Lu Youyi shouted loudly. Now he only hopes that the firearm can deter the charging poles of this group.
Soon, hundreds of officers and soldiers holding firearms lined up in three rows. They moved in a panic and waited until Xiang Yong rushed to a distance of thirty feet before loading the gunpowder.
"boom!"
"Bang bang!"
Scattered gunfire sounded, and a burst of white mist enveloped the front.
Hearing the sound of gunfire, the captives who were rushing at the front became a little panicked, and their momentum weakened a lot. The originally loose formation became congested.
Han Xi, who was behind, was very surprised at this time. The officers and soldiers on the opposite side were still quite knowledgeable. If he had encountered Yichuan Xiangyong and saw such a formation, he would probably have been frightened and ran away.
Unexpectedly, this group of officers and soldiers were first attacked by cavalry, and now they could organize a counterattack when they saw a new enemy appear.
It's a pity that there was no one to direct the firearms hands. They were released thirty feet apart and nearly a hundred meters away. Naturally, no one was killed.
Instead, a burst of white smoke rose up, obscuring his vision.
"Don't be afraid, they can only take one shot. Rush up and defeat the officers and soldiers, and you will be rewarded with a cotton coat." Han Xi shouted loudly.
At this time, the team was hundreds of meters apart, and the battlefield was noisy. The people in front could not hear Han Xi's shouting, but Xiang Yong, who was close to Han Xi, heard it.
In this way, Xiangyong squeezed the people in front and rushed forward.
The momentum of the sprint picked up speed again, and the people in front were pushed to run quickly.
A moment later, a team of thousands of people plunged into the smoke and fought hand to hand with officers and soldiers.
The bandit prisoners had no formation at all. They were all three or four people surrounding an officer and soldier, and they had to shout to embolden themselves every time they stabbed.
The officers and soldiers used firearms to block, but one shot could not block four spears.
"Pfft~"
The sound of spears piercing flesh echoed across the battlefield, blood spattered everywhere, and the ground stained white by heavy snow turned bright red.
The gunmen in front of the officers and soldiers collapsed in just a moment.
The collapse of the firearmsmen quickly spread to the rest of the officers and soldiers. When Lu Youyi saw the figure rushing out of the pole in the smoke, he secretly thought something bad.
Lu Youyi parried the chop of an imperial cavalry, turned his horse's head and shouted loudly: "Liu Baihu, quickly lead someone to block it."
"Bang~"
Lu Youyi had just shouted, and after hearing a gunshot, the horse under him became frantic, and blood even flowed from the horse's neck.
Lu Youyi controlled his body, trying to calm the horse down.
Unexpectedly, the horse fell to one side after running forward for more than ten steps, and Lu Youyi also fell to the ground with it.
"The person who was crushed under the horse is an army general. No matter who he is, he will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins."
A shout silenced the place, and then Lu Youyi felt a fiery gaze around him looking at him, which scared him to the point of breaking into a cold sweat: "Quick, come here and save me."
Seeing this, dozens of servants who were fighting against the imperial cavalry all got rid of their opponents and moved closer to Lu Gueryi. They all depended on Lu Guerrilla for their livelihood, so naturally they couldn't let anything happen to him.
"Protect Lu Guerrilla."
The servants, officers and soldiers wearing armor around them slowly gathered together, and the spears in the hands of the captives could not pierce the armor of these servants.
It's not that the spears are not sharp, it's that these bandit prisoners are too weak.
Han Xi, who was mixed in the crowd in the distance, held a 30-centimeter flintlock pistol in his left hand and a short knife in his right hand. He was the one who fired the black gun just now.
Seeing that the bandit prisoners were blocked in the distance, Han Xi ordered the spearmen beside him: "Come up and form a team."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of ten spearmen came out and rushed forward.
Han Xi held the dagger between his feet and then loaded the flintlock pistol.
First clean it with a round brush, then pour in the gunpowder, stuff it with lead bullets, compact it with a long metal strip, and then put some gunpowder primer into the gun head.
After loading the ammunition, Han Xi began to look for the target again. At this time, there was a melee and it was really difficult to shoot.
"Get closer." Han Xi ordered.
Then he led ninety spearmen to the place where the officers and soldiers were surrounded.
At this time, Lu Youyi had been rescued from his horse by his own servant.
However, Lu Youyi's leg was already injured and he was walking on one foot and one foot at a time.
Seeing his situation, Lu Youyi knew that the longer he stayed on the battlefield, the greater the chance of losing his life, so he shouted directly without any hesitation: "Withdraw~"
Soon, Lu Youyi was helped onto a horse.
"Bang~"
Lu Youyi, who had just mounted his horse, felt a pain in his shoulder and suddenly panicked in his heart: "Quick, get out of here."
Following Lu Youyi's urgent voice, a group of servants mounted their horses to protect him from any black guns nearby, while more than twenty servants stayed behind.
Relying on the armor on his body, the servant did not defend himself at all. Instead, he fiercely charged at the hundreds of bandit prisoners.
The bandit prisoners were killed and forced to retreat.
"Work together to hold him back, don't let them rush up." Someone among the bandit prisoners shouted loudly.
I saw a dozen bandits and prisoners working together to hold up a servant, making it difficult for him to move.
At this moment, a powerful spear thrust towards the servant with a whistling sound.
"Pfft~"
The spear penetrated directly through the armor and pierced the servant's chest.
The servant saw that his chest was pierced by a spear, his eyes quickly began to blur, and he let out a low voice of "Goose goose!"
"Kill!"
Seeing that the servant was about to fall to the ground, all the bandit prisoners thrust out their spears. Unfortunately, they only caused some sparks on the servant's armor and failed to penetrate the servant's body.
"The officers and generals have escaped, kill them!"
"Kill!"
When the surrounding officers and soldiers saw Lu Guerji running away, they had no intention of fighting anymore, so they discarded their weapons and ran away quickly.
Han Xi led his men in pursuit, and many officers and soldiers surrendered along the way.
These surrendered officers and soldiers were pressed together.
Soon, Han Xi and his party chased for ten miles and arrived outside a camp.
Just listen to the sound of cannons echoing in the empty valley, and waves of white mist rise.
Han Xi, who was chasing after him, stopped and looked at the camp. It was not very big and looked very simple. It looked like it was temporarily set up.
It shouldn't be difficult to capture.
However, Han Xi looked at the Xiangyong and bandit prisoners around him. Most of them were already sitting on the ground, panting. It felt like these people were going to die in the next moment.
Helpless, Han Xi could only order: "The cavalry will keep an eye on this camp while the rest return to the village."
As the order was given, the team slowly gathered and headed back.
It was snowing heavily during the battle, but luckily there was no wind, otherwise the view would have been obscured, and Han Xi would not have dared to pursue them.
On the way, Han Xi saw A Niu guarding more than thirty donkey carts, so he walked up and asked, "What's in this cart?"
