Datong general Ma Baozhong's horse was also hit by a bullet, and he himself was thrown far away, even crawling and rolling forward, his helmet was lost somewhere, his hair was disheveled, and his face was covered with dust.

Seeing this, several soldiers hurriedly dismounted from their horses and helped him up. Ma Baozhong suddenly felt ashamed, and the anger in his heart had reached the extreme, but he did not lose his mind.

He didn't dare to move forward from the front of the Chicheng camp, and led dozens of Ding's entourage around him to go around to the left. After walking forward for more than ten steps, he saw a group of Xuanfu soldiers with bright helmets rushing over They surrounded them.

"Put down the sword... put down the weapon..."

"Quick...don't put down your weapon...shoot to kill..."

Facing the roar of the Xuanfu army and the forest of spears behind the shields, a servant suddenly felt chilled, and involuntarily dropped the steel knife in his hand, making a "ding dong" sound.

Seeing someone so timid, Ma Baozhong was immediately furious, and he shouted: "I am a general of Datong, how dare you dare to fight me?"

Seeing how arrogant he was, the servants around him couldn't help becoming more courageous, and gathered around Ma Baozhong's body, each holding their weapons in front of their chests, clamoring loudly.

"I am Liu Changliang, Chief Qian of the Chicheng Battalion in Xuanfu Town, under the orders of my guerrilla general Zhang Guodong, to arrest Datong's defeated army."

Liu Changliang responded loudly and righteously, but he didn't expect to be laughed at by the other party.

"Hahaha……"

Ma Baozhong laughed loudly and unscrupulously, and then shouted angrily: "I am a general of Datong, and you, a small general, dare to say you want me?"

He separated the crowd, strode forward, and asked loudly: "You have the military order of the Governor Xingyuan, so you dare to ask me about it!"

"what……"

Facing Ma Baozhong's arrogance, Liu Changliang did not agree with him. He raised his foot and kicked heavily on the waist of the general Ma Baozhong, and he fell to the ground after hearing his scream.

"Take it."

Liu Changliang shouted in a deep voice, revealing an inviolable majesty.

Immediately four soldiers from the Chicheng camp ran out from the left and right, and they tied Ma Baozhong's hands behind his back without any further explanation, and stood him up. His dozens of servants hadn't reacted yet, and they stood there at a loss.

Seeing this, Ma Baozhong couldn't help becoming anxious, and scolded: "Little bastard, how dare you tie me up."

He wanted to turn around, but he couldn't do it because he was held up by Chicheng camp soldiers, so he shouted loudly: "Are you stupid? Why don't you kill all these rebels and snatch me out!"

One of the servants seemed to wake up suddenly when he heard the words. He swung a big ax in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, General Ma has treated us well. We will fight to get him back..."

The servant hadn't even uttered the word "Come" when he heard a crisp sound of "Bang!", and his whole body flew backwards, and a bloody arrow shot from his chest.

The firecracker held in Liu Changliang's right hand was still emitting light smoke. He blew a breath and said loudly to the crowd: "Those who dare to resist will end up like this."

"kill!"

As soon as Liu Changliang's words fell, the surrounding spear and shield soldiers of the Chicheng Battalion shouted in unison.

There was a series of "boom, ding, ding" sounds, and dozens of family members in Ma Baozhong were shocked by the murderous aura, and dropped their weapons on the ground beside them one after another.

They lowered their heads, followed the orders of the Xuanfu Army's Chicheng Battalion soldiers, and walked obediently to the rear of the army formation, and none of them dared to rebel.

Only Ma Baozhong, the general of Datong, was still dissatisfied, and clamored to take him to see Zhang Cheng, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, and claimed to go to Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, to file a complaint.

Liu Changliang was upset when he heard that, so he ordered the soldiers under his command to cover his mouth with rags, and strangle him to death with cloth strips, so that he could no longer utter a sound.

But a dignified member of the Datong General was arrested by Xiao Xiaoqian of Xuanfu Town and threatened to question him about his crimes. How could Ma Baozhong bear this tone.

Even though his mouth was gagged and he couldn't swear anymore, his body couldn't help twisting in various strange postures to show his dissatisfaction and resistance.

For this reason, Ma Baozhong suffered a lot. How could the Chicheng camp soldiers tolerate the disrespect to their general's grandfather, who greeted him shamelessly with fists, military boots, knife handles, and leather whips.

…………

At this time, the Datong Military Standard Battalion had completely replaced the Right Wing Battalion. They withstood the first wave of the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner's impact with a well-organized military formation. Although there were some casualties, they were within an acceptable range.

The Right Wing Battalion is now behind Wang Zhengbiao's Battalion and has regrouped. They successfully withstood two rounds of charges from the Northern Captive Cavalry of the Zhenghuang Banner and retreated in an orderly manner.

At the same time, the Zhenbiao Battalion of Guo Yingxian, the veteran of the Xuanfu, also moved at this time, and they slowly spread out to the right.

The infantry in the battalion formed a solid formation on the inside, while nearly [-] Xuanfu cavalry spread out to the front right, with the potential to assault the flank of the Zhenghuang Banner of Mongolia.

Under the restraint of Guo Yingxian's troops, Ah Dai did not dare to launch an all-out attack on Wang Zheng's Datong Military Standard Battalion, after all, he still had the main force to protect the flanks for safety.

The Datong army's wandering battalion had less than [-] soldiers, and they also moved forward at this time. They regrouped about a hundred paces away after the space between Wang Zheng and Guo Yingxian's two armies, as a backup.

But the left wing was completely different from this side. Under the leadership of Lin Fangping, the Tiger Guard Battalion rode out and rushed directly to kill the Tazi soldiers on the left wing. The sound of whistling.

Lin Fangping's troops did not slow down, but instead urged their horses to speed up, and continued to gallop up to where Morigen's Mengqi troops were located in the western wilderness.

Almost at the same time, Wang Tieren led the light cavalry and rushed back to the formation. They joined with the [-] cavalry soldiers who stayed behind and formed a new formation.

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion were actually selected from each battalion according to the standards of cavalry, and they were not incapable of fighting. If they were in other army formations, they might be used as the main force of an army.

However, the military regulations of the Xuanfu army are indeed strict. Since they are soldiers, they are not allowed to fight easily. Unless there is a clear military order, they will be severely punished.

Just like before, the cavalry battalion went out to battle repeatedly, and the lost soldiers in the battalion could be replenished in time because of the existence of these soldiers.

Now, the remaining [-] cavalry soldiers will also have their first real chance to fight in their lives.

Just like this time, every time the cavalry battalion goes out, it will bring along the soldiers of the military battalion, but even under the city of Kaifeng, the military soldiers only participate in the defense of the camp and have no chance to fight.

It was precisely because of the rare opportunity that the soldiers cherished it even more. They made preparations early, and when they saw the light cavalry rushing back from a distance, they immediately rode forward.

After letting go of the light cavalry who were rushing back, they immediately rode into formation, each holding the rein in one hand, and a short Yunzhou pistol in the other hand, forming two horizontal rows, each row was about two hundred bags soldier.

And the light cavalry, under the leadership of Wang Tieren, is quickly regrouping behind their formation and forming a new formation.

Looking at the Tartars of the Mongolian Xianghuang Banner Tulai Division who were chasing in the distance, Zheng Fang, the chief of the army battalion, was not at all afraid. He shouted: "Everyone calm down, and no one is allowed to fire the gun first."

Zheng Fang then shouted again: "Brothers, this is the first time that our army barracks has fought, so please hold on tight. No one is allowed to be cowardly, let alone panic. There is no order from my father. If anyone fires the gun first, we will fuck the mother!" unloaded."

He seemed to be a little worried, and hurriedly continued to encourage: "Everyone put their guns on the ground, aiming at the front, waiting for our order, and shoot at the Sao Tartars together.

Aren't they all clamoring to become cavalrymen?
Today is the big guy's chance, the battle was fought well today, we are all fucking cavalry, but if we fight badly, we will have no chance again.

Do you understand? "

"Here!"

Nearly [-] cavalry battalion soldiers responded to Zheng Fang's question with a beautiful chorus.

Zheng Fang looked at the Beilu cavalrymen who were getting closer, and then continued to shout: "Steady, we have seen the Tartars throwing spears and throwing axes before, and if we die, don't care about them, hold on and listen!" That's our order."

"Here!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison again.

"Good brother, get ready, and teach the Tartars that our Xuanfu army is not easy to bully. Kill, kill the Tartars."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The Xuanfu army completely inherited the drill methods of the Qi family army back then, and even the slogans that were echoed in the army were all in the form of a unified "three companies", such as "kill kill kill", "tiger tiger tiger", "force force", "Chong Chong Chong" and so on.

All the soldiers shouted "Kill" three times before they finished shouting. The northern captive cavalry of Xianghuang Banner on the opposite side had already rushed a hundred paces away. They didn't seem to intend to stop. Instead, they urged their horses to speed up. battalion of troops.

Chief Qian Zheng Fang's eyes were shining a little bit, he stared intently at the approaching Beilu cavalry, and calculated the distance between the two sides in his heart.

It would be nonsense to say that there is no panic in his heart. Although Zheng Fang was also a veteran of the Xuan Mansion who served the king together, it was the first time that as the general of a thousand soldiers, he led a team to battle.

You teach him how not to panic, what Zheng Fang is most worried about is not his own safety, but the rare opportunity to fight this time in the Yi Barracks, so don't mess it up!
Previously, apart from being responsible for miscellaneous duties in the battalion, the soldiers of the Yibing Battalion had also been responsible for the military affairs of the camp when the army went to battle. They had never fought independently, and lacked actual combat experience in this area.

That's why Zheng Fang tried so hard to cheer up the soldiers, and repeatedly told them to pay attention to military rules and regulations, stabilize their mentality, and obey orders.

Seeing the northern captive cavalry on the opposite side enter a distance of eighty steps, and the huge Tazi cavalry formation brought more and more oppression to his own side, Zheng Fang's heart also rose to his throat.

He couldn't help squinting at the army formation of the soldiers, and saw that some knights were shaking their hands holding the firecrackers, and his heart also became nervous.

"It's all good. The Tartars' bows, arrows, throwing spears, and throwing axes can't kill us, but our pistols can kill the Tartars."

Zheng Fang continued to shout in a loud voice: "Keep your breath, don't keep shaking your hands, there is nothing to be afraid of, hold the gun level, wait for our order, shoot the gun, and then follow behind us, shame on his mother Tartar!"

"Here."

After Zheng Fang's shouting, the soldiers' hearts calmed down again, but if you listen carefully, you will find that their breathing is still not steady, and it seems a little short.

This should be a normal reaction for first-timers, and these soldiers cannot be blamed. After all, everyone is afraid of death, and the momentum of the Tartars riding thousands of horses is indeed too oppressive.

"Handgun, hit!"

Zheng Fang's roar became a life-threatening call for the northern captive cavalry of Mongolia's Xianghuang Banner, and the cavalry soldiers who had made all preparations immediately fired their guns.

A blast of "bang bang" came out. Although it was not as uniform as the volley of the Chicheng Battalion's blunderbuss soldiers, they were able to fire almost at the same time.

Dense bullets shot out in the dense white smoke, like a deadly ghost, and shot towards the Mongolian Yellow Banner cavalrymen thirty steps away.

In an instant, the Mongolian Tartars who rushed to the front fell off their horses one after another, and their screams and wailing resounded throughout the land, while the rest of the Mongolian Tartars also galloped to the two sides, and did not go straight to the cavalry of the Xuanfu Army. big camp.

"Kill! Kill the Tartars!"

Zheng Fang had already retracted his gun and drew his knife in his hand. He shouted loudly and went straight to the Tartars of the Mongolian Yellow Banner and rushed up. Four hundred soldiers followed closely behind him and rushed forward. No one is afraid to move forward.

They are like a sharp arrow, and Chief Qian Zheng Fang is the arrow of this sharp arrow, rushing straight into the Mongolian Yellow Banner cavalry formation, fighting with the northern captives.

And behind the luggage soldiers, the light cavalry who had already completed their formation also rushed here. They had finished firing their two pistols. At this moment, everyone held swords and spears, and rushed towards the northern Tartars like crazy. .

…………

The chariot formation on the left side of the Xuanfu army's chariot battalion was directly attacked by Manchurian white flag tartars because of the rout of the left-wing battalion of the Datong army.

Although the chariot had the effect of preventing the cavalry from rushing into the formation, it was only for a while, and the soldiers behind the chariot had to resist bravely, but the Tartars with the white flag came too suddenly.

And half of the sergeants in the chariot battalion have to control the chariots and handle the artillery. As a defensive force, there are only 600 soldiers who can fight.

Although they resisted bravely, shooting with guns from a distance and slashing with knives at a distance, there were too many Tazi soldiers rushing forward, and they could not stop them at all. After paying more than a hundred casualties, they had to abandon the chariot defense line and retreat.

Fortunately, they dug a shallow moat with a low wall thirty steps behind the chariot as a second line of defense, so that they could withstand the charge of the Tartars before the entire battalion collapsed.

But in this wave of charge alone, nearly thirty chariots were either knocked over by the white-flag-studded Tartar cavalry, or smashed and destroyed with hammers and axes, causing great losses.

Yu Jin's eyes were burning with anxiety, but it didn't help. He could only use his hoarse voice to continue commanding the regular soldiers and surprise soldiers in the battalion to cooperate with each other.

Just when he was extremely anxious, there was a blast of firecrackers in the dusty sky on the right, followed by white smoke from the tent, rising suddenly.

It turned out that Qianzong Gou Changsheng, the commander of the right side of the chariot, found that the situation on the left side was critical, so he organized a team of surprise soldiers to come to help. Thanks to their timely rescue, they successfully stopped the Xiangbai Banner Tartars and almost drove them back.
