Zhang Guiba stood in the trench with a miscellaneous array of five feelings in his heart.

Looking at the extremely ferocious Northern Hu cavalry, it was as if they were involved in the storm and storm on the sea, and they were extremely difficult. They couldn't help but think of several limited battles with the Qin army as an opponent of the Qin army. Every time, they had the same experience as the Hu people today. No, they were lucky at that time. The Qin army did not have the strong logistics capabilities of today. The Qin army only relied on arrows, crossbows, knives, and guns. Now, the Qin army still had cannons, powerful cannons.

He couldn't help but feel a little lucky, glad that he finally surrendered to the Qin army in Xuzhou City. Otherwise, they would have to experience all the fear and despair faced by these Hu people in front of him sooner or later.

If it were in the past, facing the charge of ten thousand Hu cavalry, they had only one thousand people standing in front of the formation, which was unimaginable. If the Qi army in the past had long dispersed by the roar of iron hooves. But now looking at the surrounding area, there were only one thousand people, but they were standing in the trenches like steel and iron, and no one took a step back.

Zhang Guiba was in his early forties, thick and strong, with an ordinary appearance and a slightly dark complexion. He was usually silent but was very brave and capable of fighting. Although at the beginning of Huang Chao's rebellion, he immediately led his brother Zhang Guihou and Zhang Guimu to abandon his family and defect to Huang Chao and became a traitor general. Especially, he was in a similar position with Ge Congzhou and Huo Cun and became a life-and-death brother. Following Huang Chao and fighting in the north and south, he made many military achievements. However, Zhang Guiba and Wang Xianzhi and others from Huang Chao were of different origins. Zhang Guiba were from Qinghe, Hebei. His grandfather Zhang Jinyan had also served as the magistrate of Yanggu County. His father Zhang Shi also served as an official. Although the Zhang family was not as strong as the Cui family in Qinghe, he was also a local tyrant in Qinghe.

It is better for Zhang Guiba to be carefree since childhood, because Emperor Yizong was incompetent and natural disasters were constantly caused. After Huang Chao Wang Xianzhi raised his army, Zhang Guiba directly defected to Huang Chao. After Huang Chao became emperor, he immediately gave him the title of the hero of the Left Ban. He was also appointed as the general and the governor. In the end, he was trapped in Xuzhou for more than half a year. If Huang Chao had not been unwilling to send troops to rescue him, he would not have abandoned the thief and surrendered to Qin. After Huo Cun and Zhang Guihou surrendered to Qin, he had indeed been on the bench for a while. This time, Li Jing was fighting to recruit soldiers and had the opportunity to put on the armor again.

During the previous combat mission assignment, he even volunteered to serve as the cover of the artillery battalion. Li Jing trusted them and agreed that Zhang Guiba and the other two would lead a thousand people to guard the frontiers of the three sides.

Looking at the two battalions behind him composed of foreign cavalry, rural soldiers, united soldiers, and academic soldiers, and looking at their tenacious and brave aura, Zhang Guiba narrowed his eyes slightly, and the soldiers seemed stray. However, there was a sense of anger that twisted them up. He led this soldier himself, and it was believed that.

There were a total of two battalions of 1,000 people. Before them, there were three defense trenches, as well as the trapped horse pits, caltrops, deer feet, and pickets hidden in front of the formation. There was also a long barbed wire mesh in the trenches, which could be quickly blocked in front of the trenches at critical moments.

However, unless it is absolutely necessary, we cannot expose all of these at once. We can attract Hu Qi to rush up and drag them down, making this place a real meat grinder.

Apart from those fortifications, they are the last guardian of the artillery battalion.

These two battalions are new cavalrymen of the Iron Cavalry Legion. Although the sources are a little mixed, half of them are foreign soldiers, and some are academic soldiers and village soldiers. Each of them has good archery skills. At this time, they gathered in the trenches in units of gangs. What they adopted was not looking up at the volley, but aiming at shooting freely, taking a group as a unit, and then divided into three squads, three people and one squad, and the gang leader was the commander. Three aimed at one and shot, and they tried to kill.

A soothing sound rang out, and the Hu people approaching the position had already begun to launch their cavalry and shooting immediately.

Zhang Guiba held an iron-tied bow and stepped on the earthen platform outside the trench, revealing half of his head. Zhang bow aimed at a Hu flag bearer who was rushing in front. The 300-pound iron-tied bow was easily pulled open by him. The bow was like a full moon. With a buzzing sound, the triangular armor-breaking cone roared through the air. Eighty steps away, the tribal warrior running at the throne was penetrated by a powerful arrow, bringing up a bunch of blood. As he fell off his horse, the battle flag fell.

A burst of cheers sounded, and the soldiers cheered for Zhang Guiba's amazing arrow.

"Shoot the flag first, then the officer, and then the horse!" Zhang Guiba also smiled slightly on his face, and then shouted loudly while continuing to hit an arrow.

Capture the thief and the king, shoot the man and the horse.

Flags are very important when cavalry charges. Shooting flags can not only dampen the morale of the enemy, but also make the cavalry behind lose command. Shooting officers is also a confusion to make the enemy lose command. As for shooting horses, if the cavalry does not have horses, it will be nothing. Especially if the horses are shot to death, it can also bring great obstacles to the cavalry behind. As for the cavalry on horses, without war horses, they will almost be trampled to death by the horses behind.

These are all Zhang Guiba’s experience on the battlefield.

The arrows of both sides intertwined and kept firing each other.

However, it is obvious that although the Hu people are ordinary and very strong in riding skills, their accurate heads are significantly lowered when charging. What's more, Zhang Guiba and others are hiding in the trenches, revealing only half of their heads, and there is also a very hard and shiny wolf-headed helmet on their heads! The target is too small, and most of them are blocked by the helmet when they hit.

On the contrary, the Qin army could shoot arrows with peace of mind when lying in the trenches. Three people and one team, three people shot one target at a time, and they would accidentally hit three arrows. One can hide, but two can't hide, let alone three.

However, at this time, the Hu people were inspiring their madness. Although the cavalry fell from time to time, they were still approaching with their momentum.

Many Hu people also found that ordinary arrows could not deal with the Qin army's steel helmets, so they began to replace them with five cents of armor-breaking heavy arrows. The cone arrows with armor-breaking effects also began to cause damage to the defenders in the front line. There were casualties on both sides, but the Hu people were obviously more casualties.

The Hu people rushed to fifty steps and were about to break through the Qin army's position in one fell swoop and destroy the artillery formation. The cavalry in the front row suddenly screamed in succession. A loud noise was seen. The cavalry in the front row was suddenly shrouded in a fog, and countless screams were heard, and then broken limbs and minced meat continued to fly out.

"It's a mine!" Bala immediately thought of something when the explosion sounded. The landmines of the Qin army were also seen under Yunzhou City. This thing is like a caltrop, but it is extremely useful in such a position. As long as it needs to be buried outside the array, they will inevitably step on it.

Damn it!

The mine formation began to show its power. Within a distance of thirty steps, mines began to explode one by one. The cavalry who were unable to pull the horse rushed forward one after another, and then was blown to pieces.

Bala gritted her teeth and swung the wolf-tooth knife: "Run, there are only fifty steps left!"

The Qin people buried mines, which were indeed insidious, but the mine was only one-time. They lost hundreds of riders, but they could not hurt their muscles.

With the explosion of the mine array, the firepower coverage of the flying thunder cannon finally arrived.

Five hundred flying thunder cannons were fired at the same time. The sound of the cannons shook the sky and the earth, and one by one, a disk of gunpowder came roaring. The entire sky was dark, covering the sun with clouds, and then it hit the Hu Qi like a meteor fire rain, quickly building a fire net barrage!

It's like a mountain collapse, like a crack in the earth!

After half an hour, ten rapid shots stopped, and the smoke of gunpowder had already covered the entire battlefield, just like a huge fog suddenly descending, covering the world.

A total of 5,000 flying thunders were consumed on three battlefields at once, and a total of 300,000 kilograms of gunpowder were consumed. In addition to half of the gunpowder that the Gunpowder Bureau has vigorously manufactured in recent years, except for half of the gunpowder that was sent to the Northeast battlefield, just now, he killed half of the remaining half brought this time.

What a 300,000 kilogram of ammunition.

When other vassal states had just begun to realize the power of gunpowder and they all found out that they had bought those primary formulas with a lot of money and could only be produced in small batches, the Qin army had already fired 15,000 flying thunders at a time within half an hour, using 300,000 kilograms of gunpowder.

All the noise on the battlefield suddenly stopped and became extremely quiet.

The world seemed to be shocked by it.

Bala shook his head and struggled out of the pile of mud, covered in dust. He felt dizzy, but he could not hear anything.

It seemed as if the world had fallen into tranquility. He felt nauseous and nauseous, struggled to kneel there and vomit, but couldn't spit out anything. Moreover, he was extremely shocked to find that he could not even hear his own voice. He opened his mouth wide in horror and shouted, but there was still no sound.

He stood up stumbled and the land under his feet had been completely plowed by artillery fire. One by one, the pits were covered with black soil dyed with blood and turned purple and black. The smoke filled the smoke and the smell was pungent. He saw a war horse running away next to him, dragging his already dead master running around. He saw the injured soldier's mouth open and shouting something, but he could not hear anything.

He turned around and saw only a hell on earth!

Buzz!

He finally heard the sound in his ears, but the sound made him feel a splitting headache. He covered his ears and knelt down. After a while, the pain was relieved. Then, all kinds of sounds suddenly surged towards him like a tide.

The neighing of the war horses, the screams of the warriors, the screams of fear and despair, the wailing of unbearable pain...

Bala's eyes were red with blood. He didn't know how many guns they had been bombarded by, and how long they had been bombing, but there were no more soldiers standing by him.

Ten thousand people, his ten thousand people, were blown up by this cannon when the charge just now. He didn't expect that the Qin army had so many thunder cannons, so fierce, and the most terrifying thing was the continuous artillery bombardment.

This feeling of depression and fear made him almost crazy. The war was not fought like this, and there was no such way to fight. They were not fighting with people, they were fighting with a group of evil ghosts from hell.

He roughly estimated that in the firecracker just now, his 10,000 people were probably killed at least 1,000, and at least 2,000 people were seriously injured and disabled. He was probably injured. The rest were injured and completely defeated the morale of the army. It was impossible for him to charge again in a short period of time.

At this time, the front positions of the Qin army opposite began to shoot arrows again, and the sound of arrows roared. Some former tribal warriors who were still in a daze were shot and killed as if they were slaughtered by chickens and dogs.

The ground shook slightly, and Bala subconsciously reacted that it was the cavalry running.

Did Yelu Shilu send troops to respond?

No! His expression suddenly changed, because he felt that the sound was not from behind, but from the front.

That was the cavalry of the Qin army!

How could the Qin army dare to take the initiative? He looked up and saw a Qin cavalry stepping on the wooden passages that were quickly erected by soldiers in the trenches. As fast as the wind, under the guidance of the high flying eagle flag, they stepped on the passage and rushed towards them in the chaos, panic and desperate.

One hundred steps, the Qin cavalry picked up the crossbow machine, and under the cold wolf-headed iron helmet, he could feel the cold gaze.

At eighty steps, iron whistles began to sound from the Qin cavalry, and the cavalry were preparing to shoot arrows.

In the artillery position, the flag soldiers were shaking the order flags, and the flag bearers of each capital team immediately conveyed the order to the captain of the capital.

"Archive fire, target one hundred steps, artillery fire extends forward!"

"Architecture extends!"

Zhao Zhang's face turned red, and he was immersed in the big scene created by the devastating cluster artillery firepower covering the world.

As the commander of the various capital teams issued the order, the flying thunder cannons that had just stopped the shelling were not only cleared and adjusted and calibrated for a short period of time, but this time, they were not as fierce as before. This time, the artillery fire was extended, and the shells seemed to be guiding the attacking cavalry, exploded not far in front of them, and then extended further forward.

The pioneering commander Liu Zhijun kicked the horse's belly with both legs, took the lead, jumped on the horse with a gun, and led thousands of cavalry to penetrate the battlefield plowed by artillery fire again.

The shelling just now was indeed scary, but it was impossible to kill tens of thousands of people at once. It was only a few thousand people who were killed, but tens of thousands of Hu soldiers were scared of the shelling. At this time, the cavalry attacked, and it was the time to take the opportunity to kill them vigorously.

"Boom, bounce, bounce!"

Bala stared at the cavalry that rushed over like a storm. Although the cavalry had only a thousand people, it made him feel very nervous. He gritted his teeth, then turned his head and ran away, grabbed a surviving battlefield, turned over the horse, and fled south without looking back.

"Retreat, withdraw, withdraw!"

While escaping, Bala yelled at the tribal warriors who were still standing still on the battlefield.
Chapter completed!
