The road to the east of Jiuxian Town is along the valley of a small mountain river. "Zijinliang" and they had to attack east along the river valley. Shanxi Governor Song Tongyin was caught off guard. He thought "Zijinliang" and others were just waiting to be captured. They only arranged an offensive formation, but did not arrange a corresponding defensive formation.

For a moment, he was caught off guard by "Zi Jinliang" and others. After the light cavalry attack camp that had originally come to attack, he rested in the Jiuxian town according to the subordinates of Song Tongyin. As a result, he was concentrated by "Zi Jinliang" and others and launched a counter-raid.

The vanguard of Song Tongyin's vanguard was caught off guard and was defeated. He had to escape all the way, but the way he came happened to meet the thousands of infantrymen who were preparing to support the cavalry. When the officers and infantrymen discovered the enemy situation and finished the formation, they were driven by the rebels and attacked the formation by the defeated cavalry.

The officers and soldiers were in a dilemma for a while and did not know how to deal with their cavalry. As a result, the rebels who were chasing the army later raised an opportunity to attack, and they broke down in one fell swoop, killing several miles. At this time, Shanxi Governor Song Tongyin had just led more than 10,000 main forces to reach the entrance of the valley and prepare to enter the valley to capture the thief.

However, the defeated cavalry retreated in advance. Song Tongyin received news that "the bandits all rebelled" and quickly deployed soldiers at the entrance of the valley to stop the rebels from the valley. When the rebels such as "Zijinliang" rushed out of the valley, they were blocked by Song Tongyin's troops. A burst of gunfire bombardment, and then pushed the rebels back to the entrance of the valley.

Zhang Shun's team was slow to move because there were ox carts, cannons and other objects, and followed the "Eight King Kong". When he arrived near the entrance of the valley, he saw a crowd of people in front of him. Zhang Shun stepped forward and asked, and only then did he realize that the rebel army was blocked in the valley and could not get out.

"Purple Golden Liang" knew that he was resourceful, so he quickly invited him to take a look. Zhang Shun followed "Purple Golden Liang", "Old Hui Hui", "Eight King Kong" and others and saw that the troops of Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi, lined up, just blocked the valley entrance.

The opponent occupies a flat land and the formation is suitable for expansion; while the rebels occupy the valley, although the number of people is more than the opponent, they cannot expand the lineup. They can only adopt the tactic of adding fuel to send heads one by one. If the officers and soldiers are not supported, they will retreat slightly and then step on them, and the rebels will be defeated again.

Zhang Shun now understood that if the rebels defended this terrain and the officers and soldiers came to attack, the rebels would only need a small number of troops to prevent the officers and soldiers from entering; however, on the contrary, no matter how many rebels and horses there were, they would not be able to escape. This is exactly the case of "there are strong enemies in front and pursuers in the back", and the situation of the rebels was in danger for a while.

Zhang Shun thought about it and said to "Zi Jinliang" and others: "It is not difficult to break this lineup. The difficulty lies in the lack of ammunition and artillery. If the artillery and ammunition are sufficient, I can break it for everyone."

"Purple Golden Liang" was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly returned the cannons he had exchanged from Zhang Shun before. However, due to the emergency situation before, a few were discarded on the road and could only give Zhang Shun eleven cannons, eight two-inch and three three-inch tiger squatting cannons.

So, Zhang Shun added his original artillery and newly cast artillery, and had a total of 36 artillery pieces, including 18 two-inch caliber and 18 three-inch caliber. Zhang Shun asked everyone for many gunpowder and projectiles before he was satisfied.

He ordered his men to carry all the cannons on top of the ox carts, and circle the chariots into formations. Behind the cavalry hall, he rushed towards the Song Tongyin formation with the chariot formation. Seeing this, Song Tongyin hurriedly ordered the bombardment with the cannons.

However, Song Tongyin was in a hurry to take action and did not have time to bring more large-caliber artillery. Most of the cannons in his hands were firearms such as tiger squat cannons and bowl moustaches. For Zhang Shun's team with vehicle defense, the threat was not very big. Only some unfortunate people were injured by the firearms.

On the other hand, Zhang Shun was not in a hurry to order the fire, but ordered the soldiers to follow the formation to approach the officers and soldiers. When Song Tongyin saw that things were not good, he quickly ordered the crossbow and musket shooting. The front row of Zhang Shun's team was mostly protected by cotton armor, and many of them were hit by muskets, but they basically did not suffer much damage, and only some were killed and injured on the spot.

After all, Zhang Shun was all recruits, so he was panicked and a little shaken. When Zhang Shun saw that things were not good, he quickly ordered five two-inch caliber and five three-inch caliber tiger squatting cannons to bombard the Song Tongyin formation with live ammunition.

The Song Tong Yin army formation was still traditionally arranged, with a relatively dense lineup. It was shot in by Zhang Shun in live ammunition, and many people were killed and killed. Some of the unlucky soldiers were even strung together by live ammunition. Now Zhang Shun's subordinates were greatly motivated, and instead the Song Tong Yin soldiers began to riot.

Seeing that Zhang Shun's "turtle musket formation" was really difficult to fight, Shanxi Governor Song Tongyin immediately grabbed the fighter plane and ordered the cavalry to charge. There were many officers and cavalrymen, but because the terrain was not conducive to the development, only more than 500 cavalry were sent to charge.

Since Zhang Shun had many soldiers and only a hundred ox carts, they could not tightly surround the soldiers, and there was a large gap in the middle, so the officers and soldiers were not worried that Zhang Shun would use vehicles to stop the cavalry from attacking. Five hundred cavalry didn't sound like many, but once they charged, they would be no less than the momentum of thousands of troops.

Many people's understanding of cavalry is mostly based on text and film and television works, but only when they truly face cavalry, can they truly understand why cavalry is the master of the cold weapon era.

The weight of war horses is generally no less than 600 kilograms, the weight of soldiers is no less than 100 kilograms, and the total weight of armor and weapons is no less than 100 kilograms, and the total weight of 800 kilograms is about 1,000 kilograms in later generations.

The weight of this thousand pounds is not something that humans can do to stop it, let alone the weight of hundreds of thousand pounds. The earth suddenly shaking, and the sound of horse hooves is deafening; the cavalry is far higher than the height of the infantry, and the oppressed soldiers are all frightened.

Although Zhang Shun was already a brave man, he didn't realize the battle between the two and was about to escape. He gritted his teeth, barely suppressed the fear in the center, and shouted loudly: "The second group of artillery is ready, and the rest of the artillery is not allowed to be fired!"

At this moment, several gunners with extreme fear tried to tremble and ignite the cannon in front of them with the torch in their hands. Zhang Shun rushed up, kicked one over and whipped one over. At this time, Zhang Shun didn't talk about any principles, but just shouted: "Don't listen to my orders, you are not allowed to fire!"

The others were already scared and were stunned. They stood there, not knowing whether they had heard Zhang Shun's orders. Zhang Shun thought of Liu Yinggui at this time and shouted loudly: "Where is the military judge? Standing behind me quickly, if anyone dares to escape and retreat, he will be killed without mercy!"

Liu Yinggui said "ah", as if he had just come back from his fear, and subconsciously answered: "Lord, Yinggui is here!" He quickly pulled out his knife, kicked it left and right, and ordered them all to draw out the knife and run behind the formation to supervise the battle.
