Liu Yinggui's military law team realized that he and others did not have to face the terrible enemy that was racing against each other, so they happily ran behind the formation and stood with a knife. The others came to their senses, and could not escape at this time, and they could not defend themselves, and felt despair in their hearts.

At this time, the officers, soldiers and cavalry were approaching, and they could basically see the hideous faces and cruel eyes on the opposite side. At this time, Zhang Shun shouted loudly: "The second group of fire!" The gunner was stunned, and then subconsciously pulled the torch in his hand into the artillery fire door. Only the sound of "sniffing" gunpowder was heard igniting, and then a more deafening sound rang out.

The cavalry who were about to rush to the front of their faces suddenly turned over and over. Without waiting for everyone to take a closer look, the smoke of gunpowder filled their sights. Then, the terrible enemies rushed out of the smoke. Everyone was shocked and before they could react, they were chopped over three or four people.

Everyone was about to escape, but suddenly they found that there were only a few enemies rushing in. Suddenly, Zhang Shun's soldiers came back with courage. Everyone rushed forward and slashed and stabbed the cavalry with a spear, sword and axe, and dealt with the desperate cavalry.

Only then did everyone have the opportunity to observe the battlefield where the smoke had been dispersed. They saw that the ferocious enemy and the corpse of his war horse were bombarded incompletely and distributed across the battlefield not far away in front of them.

More enemies were riding war horses under their seats, throwing their armor and fleeing in a hurry. When Song Tongyin looked away, his eyes were cracked and his teeth were almost broken. Zhang Shun actually used the first group of artillery to deceive the governor Song Tongyin, making him think that the "brethren" artillery had been exhausted. The cavalryman approached and shot with a shotgun, and the officers and cavalrymen who only attacked suffered heavy losses. It was roughly estimated that fifty or sixty cavalry were missing.

Of course, the cavalry of the government at this level was not unable to break Zhang Shun's formation. As long as they used up the gaps of Zhang Shun's artillery, they were not afraid of life and death, and they could still complete the task in one go. However, when facing such tragic casualties, they had lost all their courage, and some of the cavalry who had just rushed into the formation and were shot dead by Zhang Shun's subordinates.

In fact, the battle has reached this point, and Shanxi Governor Song Tongyin is already in a difficult position. He has repeatedly breached his trust and finally caught the opportunity, but he still escaped by the enemy. He is really unwilling to accept it. He knows clearly that once these "thieves" flew out, they will revenge themselves in a crazy way, and there is no room for ease. Maybe his official hat will be unable to be protected.

Thinking of this, Song Tongyin also made up his mind and took advantage of the gap in Zhang Shun's second group of artillery shooting, and immediately ordered a thousand-household infantry to attack Zhang Shun.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun quickly ordered Wei Congyi, Zhang Sanbai and Xiao Qinhu to lead the team to resist. It turned out that Zhang Shun divided the cannons in his hand into three groups: the first group of two caliber tiger squat cannons each with five, the second group of two caliber tiger squat cannons each with seven, and the third group of two caliber tiger squat cannons each with six, and bombarded in turn.

As a result, when the second group of shooting was fired, most of the gunners fired in a nervous situation. Zhang Shun took a look and found that there were only three cannons in his hand that did not fire. Zhang Shun himself estimated that these three were the gunners were scared and forgot to shoot.

Zhang Shun ordered Wei Congyi to be in the middle, Zhang Sanbai to take the left, Xiao Qinhu to be in the right, lined up in a row to fight with the officers and soldiers. The ox carts carried artillery on the left and right sides to defend against officers and cavalry. Although the artillery had no shells, the officers and soldiers had just died of fear and did not dare to come to harass them.

A thousand households sent by Song Tongyin knew that they had no chance of victory, but they were determined to die. He personally led the team to attack Zhang Shun's troops. Most of Zhang Shun's subordinates were spearmen, and there was no protection except cotton armor. When the officers and soldiers reached thirty or forty steps, they shot one after another.

Zhang Shun's troops had no other long-range weapons, so they could only be beaten passively. Zhang Shun had no choice but to order his soldiers to launch an attack on his own initiative. Seeing this, Qianhu was happy and felt that Zhang Shun's combat power was not so good, so he also ordered an attack.

When both sides were about to get close, only a cannon sounded, and the Qianhu formation was torn three holes apart. It turned out that Zhang Shun had already ordered people to hide the remaining three cannons in the formation and carried them forward. When both sides approached, they directly bombarded the shotgun, which caught the other party off guard.

Wei Congyi, Zhang Sanbai, and Xiao Qinhu took the opportunity to cover up the killing and defeated the Qianhu. The Qianhu was furious and tried to restrain the soldiers while ordering his personal guards to attack with him. However, Xiao Qinhu on the right wing saw him from afar. He pulled up the tiger tendon bow and shot over the brave Qianhu with just one arrow.

When the left and right guards saw that they had lost thousands of households, they couldn't help but shout, and everyone knew it. The soldiers suddenly lost their fighting spirit and scattered. Zhang Shun was waiting to order the three generals to take the opportunity to cover up the killing, and used the enemy's defeated soldiers to rush forward, but saw that Song Tongyin had ordered five or six hundred cavalry to surround the left and right, as if they were charging. Zhang Shun did not dare to let his infantrymen leave the protection of the ox carts and cannons, and only ordered to retreat.

So, the battlefield became quiet for a moment. Zhang Shun took the opportunity to cool the cannon, cleared the gunpowder residue in the cannon, and loaded the cannon again. Since he didn't know what kind of tactic the enemy would use this time, Zhang Shun used the "Public Leader Sun" reloading method according to the customs of the Ming army.

The so-called "public leader" means that after loading gunpowder, first loading a shotgun, then loading a live ammunition to compact the muzzle. This can adapt to most battlefield situations, and there is no need to replace live ammunition or shotgun due to changes in the enemy situation.

At this time, Song Tongyin was actually quite troubled. Because the incident happened suddenly, in order to prevent the night from being too long and dreaming, he was not prepared enough, so he did not carry heavy artillery such as the red cannon, Franc and medium-sized artillery such as the imitation of Western cannons, which made Zhang Shun's crazy for a while.

However, he knew very well that Zhang Daojun must have traveled on both sides of the road to the west, following the "bandits". As long as he delayed for a while, he would definitely surrounded the "bandits" and wiped out them all. Of course, Song Tongyin knew about this, and Zhang Shun and others also knew about this. Zhang Shun delayed for a while, just to load artillery shells, so how could he continue to wait?

After a while, Zhang Shun ordered the chariot formation to move forward and pressed Song Tongyin's formation. When Song Tongyin saw the enemy situation, he understood that he had to fight in this battle. If he retreated a little, he would release other "thieves" in the valley. They could just rush out from behind Zhang Shun's formation and reasonably break through Song Tongyin's formation in front of him.

This time, neither side has many tricks to play, and they can only make one game with real swords and guns to decide the outcome of this game.
