Because of the small number of cavalry on both wings, although the musket soldiers suffered a certain degree of damage, they were quickly cleaned up by Li Xin. However, these cavalry only accounted for a small proportion of the number of people from the four Zhechong Mansions of the Imperial Guards, which solved them and could not change the situation.

What really determines who wins and who loses is the front battlefield.

The last time the Ningzhou army faced Hou Jingde, it injured more than 10,000 people, but the losses were basically the newly recruited recruits along the way. The 40,000 troops in the headquarters and the surrendered soldiers who were surrendered along the way were not damaged. Together, these soldiers were about 100,000, which was more than the number of people in the four Zhechong Prefectures of the Imperial Guards.

but……

Whether the military qualities of the soldiers on both sides are on the same level is a question worth considering.

The army led by Ye Sheng from the Northern Expedition was the Imperial Army of the Gyeonggi. After Ye Sheng retreated from the front line, several generals of the Imperial Army of the Gyeonggi were all outstanding people. Even when they arrived at Pei Jin, they were also a talented general. These central imperial guards have maintained a very strong combat power until now.

When Li Xin led the Right Camp Imperial Army of the Western Expedition, he could even gain the upper hand when fighting with the army head-on!

The current Ningzhou Army, even if it is the 40,000 headquarters of the Ningzhou Army, that is, the combination of the remnants of the army and the Hanzhou Army, most of the remaining soldiers are recruited along the way and trained for less than a few months. It is still unknown whether the new soldiers can collide with the imperial guards head-on.

After Li Xin solved the cavalry attacking both wings, he briefly counted the number of casualties of the musket soldiers. Then he waved his hand and said in a deep voice to the remaining musket soldiers: "All with me, support the frontal battlefield!"

He rode on the horse, took the lead, and rushed to the front line battlefield.

The six or seven hundred musketeers behind him also followed Li Xin with muskets on their backs and went to support the front battlefield.

Since the Southwest Army left Shu, Li Xin has maintained a relatively mysterious attitude. Mu Ying and the Hanzhou Army were fighting from Hanzhong to Luzhou. After arriving in the capital, Li Shuo led the troops on the front line. Li Xin, a general, has never been in charge of the central army and has never personally commanded the army.

But at this moment, he can no longer pretend to be profound.

This battle is the most critical battle for the Southwest Army's expedition. After winning, the Southwest Army will deserve a lot of support. At the same time, Li Xin's next plan will be much smoother, so he must do his best to win this war!

At this time, the front battlefield had become a ball of paste!

Since its establishment, all the battles the Southwest Army fought either siege or defend the city. With the help of Tianlei, it has been very smooth, but this is the first time that the large corps collided head-on!

Li Shuo formed a relatively defensive formation, with a row of shield soldiers standing in front of the army. Behind the shield soldiers were the throwing soldiers unique to the Southwest Army. Behind the throwing soldiers were archers with thousands of people.

This formation is a tactic developed by the Southwest Army after it has a firearm battalion. As long as the formation is not destroyed by the enemy's impact, the throwing soldiers and archers can cause a lot of damage to the enemy!

However, the attack of the imperial guards was extremely fierce!

These imperial guards were all infantrymen. They rushed to the front and each of them held long spears, spears and other long weapons. More importantly, although their number was large, the formations that came to attack were extremely scattered, and the two people were about two or three meters apart!

This formation will cause the army to disperse its combat power, which is likely to cause the situation where one side fights with less and more. If the combat powers of the two sides are not much different, it is very likely to be directly defeated by the other side. However, it is undeniable that this formation is extremely effective when dealing with firearms!

No one in this world is a fool. After suffering so many losses from the sky thunder, the imperial court could not have rushed out again and gathered together to explode the sky thunder.

During training, the most basic thing for the Southwest Army's throwing troops was to throw thunder into the crowd. However, now that the imperial army is so scattered, their lethality of the thunder suddenly decreased a lot.

However, the imperial court has not yet discovered the "lying down" posture, which can avoid the damage of most heavenly thunders. When the Southwest Army threw the heavenly thunder, these imperial guards could not lie on the ground in a uniform manner. Most of them turned their backs and squatted on the ground, using their backs to resist the damage.

In this way, although the effect of the heavenly thunder has been greatly weakened, it is not without effect. Hundreds and thousands of heavenly thunders on the front line battlefield still caused a large number of casualties to the imperial guards.

However, these imperial guards have very strong military qualities. When their comrades in front were blown to the ground, the imperial guards in the rear gritted their teeth and filled them up. The entire formation was slowly and firmly advancing towards the Southwest Army's camp!

Once the imperial guards approach, it is still unknown whether the Southwest Army can win the favor!

Li Shuo, wearing iron armor, stood at the front of the team to command. After seeing this situation, he frowned first and then decisively ordered.

"The throwing soldiers are backing down for the time being. The archers come on as the substitute. Don't be stingy with your arm strength and shoot them!"

He shouted: "All those behind come on the bench!"

"Prepare to kill the enemy!"

The archers are ordinary soldiers behind them. They either hold knives or guns, or are typical cold weapons troops. Li Shuo's words mean that once they are approached, they are ready to compete with the imperial guards for cold weapons.

Moreover, he asked the thrower to pause the throwing, with the purpose of saving them some firearms. When the two sides fought together, the imperial guards would be unlikely to continue to maintain this loose formation, and the thunder would play the greatest role at that time.

On the front battlefield, the imperial guards kept falling to the ground in the rain of arrows, but this proportion of casualties was acceptable.

They have been moving slowly!

One hundred steps! Eighty steps!

Li Shuo's eyes showed fierce light, and he shouted coldly: "Brothers, the imperial guards in the court dare to press over like this, clearly because they think that our Ningzhou army is useless after removing the thunder!"

"They look down on us!"

The Ningzhou general, who was in his early thirties, drew his sword from his waist and roared: "Let's kill him and let them see how powerful the Ningzhou army is!"

Therefore, the Ningzhou Army headquarters was no longer passive, and about four or five thousand people rushed out to fight against the slowly approaching Central Imperial Army!

Although the soldiers of Ningzhou Army are from all over the world, almost all the generals of Ningzhou Army came from the army that year. The army has been in the southwest for thirty or forty years and is a border army with extremely strong combat effectiveness. Of course, these people also have their own arrogance.

After hearing Li Shuo's words, the Ningzhou generals all had red eyes, pulled out the sword at their waists, had a spear behind them, and rushed out with Li Shuo!

"Damn it, I'll do it well with you today!"

Back then, the army was killed and injured under the imperial guards led by Li Xin. The remnants of them had to surrender to Li Xin and did not dare to mention the old things again in front of Li Xin. However, when these generals from the army came from the army faced the imperial guards in front of them, they would inevitably think of what happened back then.

Some people rushed towards the imperial guards with long spears in their hands.

"Today I will avenge my previous shame and let you know that the southwest army is not inferior to you, the imperial guards in the capital!"

At this time, on the front battlefield where the two armies were fighting, there were occasional thunder blew up.

Two groups of people rushed together in the deafening rumbling sound.

The sound of rushing and shouting, and the blood in the sky, formed an extremely dazzling picture.

The sound of killing shook the sky!

Blood splattered everywhere!
