From this we can see that compared with the cavalry of the Runing Army, the cavalry of the peasant army had a very poor fighting spirit. They had five thousand cavalry. If they charge one after another without regard to casualties, even if they had a tight infantry formation formed by five thousand infantry, they would still be destroyed. Therefore, no matter what army or war it was, in modern times, the courage of soldiers was still ranked first.

The reason why Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry surrounded the Ru Ning Army's phalanx was to wait for Zhang Xianzhong's infantry to come up. They didn't know the situation of Ma Shouying and Luo Rucai's battle, so they wanted to squeeze Xue Yongli's main force through hand-to-hand combat and using human-sea tactics.

But Xue Yongli didn't understand the idea of ​​the peasant army. He was still afraid that Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry would form a group charge. So he shouted anxiously: "Article quickly! Hurry them down!"

So Xue Yongli's cavalry made way and let Xiong Zheng's artillery chariot come forward first.

Xiong Zheng'en personally sat on the first cannon cart and led the cavalry regiment forward. They quickly bypassed the infantry formation in front, came to the front of the formation, and turned around in place. The soldiers who were driving the cannon cart immediately untied the reins, and the gunner immediately ignited the cannons that had been loaded with ammunition. With a loud bang, the shells flew towards the peasant cavalry three or four hundred steps away.

The autumn is clear and the ground is quite dry, so the shooting effect of the shells is also quite good. The shells are shot straight and fall on the ground. They bounce back seven or eight times, and they have made a bloody road. They just die when they encounter it, and die when they are next to each other.

The eight and nine cavalry of the peasant army were immediately knocked down to the ground. The dead people had a happy time, while the injured people and the horses screamed on the ground, and they had to suffer unbearable torture before they died.

Most of the peasant cavalry turned around and fled immediately after the artillery was shot, hoping to escape the range of the artillery as soon as possible. However, some cavalrymen also rush towards the artillery with gritted teeth, trying to overturn the artillery.

But then a cannon was set up. They fired shells one by one. After the firing, the artillery soldiers skillfully loaded gunpowder, tamped, aimed slightly, and fired. They didn't care about any volleys. As long as the cannon loaded the ammunition, they would directly fire.

When the artillery regiment commander Xiong Zheng-un saw the cannon killing, he excitedly jumped on the cannon stand. While jumping, he was still shouting. But because the roar of the cannon was too loud, no one heard what he was shouting clearly. He just saw a "bear" jumping up and down like a monkey in front of the cannon formation.

But there is no need to hear Xiong Zheng'en's orders clearly. The artillery soldiers knew what they should do. They shouted and loaded ammunition, and one cannon was pushed to the predetermined position.

More than thirty cannons from the cavalry regiment were pushed up, and more than twenty cannons from the infantry regiment and the cavalry regiment were pushed up. In the end, even six nine-pound and twelve-pound cannons were pushed up.

Facing the dark muzzle, the peasant cavalry who wanted to seize the cannon were also frightened. They also pulled out their horses and fled. However, even if they approached the cannon formation, they would die, and the swarm of chariots that covered the cannon formation, and the cannons equipped with shotguns were waiting for them to get closer.

After several rounds of artillery, the peasant cavalry within the range had become sparse, and the gunmen ordered: "Stop shooting, load ammunition, and raise the gun." They were about to extend the artillery.

Gradually, all the artillery soldiers could no longer hear the shouts of others, and even the figures of the adjacent gunners could not be seen clearly. The sound of the shelling was deafening and the smoke filled the gunpowder.

This extended shooting just hit the front of Zhang Xianzhong's rapidly advancing infantry array. He was suddenly hit by such a violent shelling, and Zhang Xianzhong's formation collapsed immediately.

The entire battlefield was shaken. Zhang Xianzhong watched the soldiers in his front team begin to collapse, and the leaders did not have the courage to restrain themselves. The only thing that could be thought of was to escape and leave this dead zone quickly.

The shells fell, smashed many people, and they jumped up again when they landed on the ground, and every cannon was like this. Zhang Xianzhong and his generals and soldiers around him also felt the ground trembling. Some people could no longer control the horses under them. The horses were manic and uneasy in the loud noises and vibrations, neighing and jumping, trying to throw the knight on their backs off the horse.

No matter how many battles you have experienced or how tough your nerves are, you can't cope with such a scene. Everyone desperately dodged towards the rear away from the shelling, and the entire peasant army was in chaos.

The dust caused by the shells falling to the ground and the smoke from the Ru Ning Army's artillery positions blocked all their sights, making everything blurred. The peasant soldiers on the battlefield seemed to be in a dream, but that was a real nightmare.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Because I couldn't hear the shouts, the gunmen of the Runing Army kicked and asked their subordinates to stop shooting. The bastards were too excited. If they continued to shoot like this, the barrels would heat up and wasted ammunition, because it was difficult for enemies within the range to survive.

When the sound of cannons stopped, everyone felt that the battlefield was extremely quiet. In fact, it was not quiet, but that everyone's ears were temporarily deaf due to the shelling. The wind on the battlefield became stronger and stronger, and the smoke of the shelling and the flying dust slowly dissipated.

The officers and soldiers of the Runing Army were staring blankly in front of them, and only saw that there were corpses within the range of the shelling, and even the incomplete bodies were invisible. All the peasant soldiers who could escape the shelling were dispersed and fled.

The peasant army, which had not been attacked, was in chaos. The crowding between the crowd made the peasant army unable to maintain its original formation at all. Some of Zhang Xianzhong's leaders could not even find his own troops for the time being. The original insurgent formation was in chaos, and the peasant army's cavalry was also restraining the horses, and they had to worry about not affecting each other, and they looked like a pot of porridge.

The effect of this shelling is too huge. Although everyone in the Runing Army has seen their own artillery shooting, today's shelling is completely quantitative change to qualitative change, reflecting the amazing power of concentrated artillery shooting.

So after a brief loss of consciousness, a fierce cheer suddenly broke out in the Runing army. The cheers continued to last for a long time and resounded throughout the sky. Artillery is really the god of war!

"Master Li! I didn't expect the artillery to be so powerful!" He Fei also shouted at Xue Yongli excitedly. Because he was a little deaf, He Fei could not control his voice anymore, "Look at the 'bear', he is still selling ugly!"

Until now, Xiong Zheng'en is still jumping in the artillery position, but his tall body and ugly twisting look make him particularly conspicuous.

Xue Yongli was also very happy, so she said a rare joke. He nodded and smiled, "God is dancing well!" This immediately caused a burst of laughter.

But then Xue Yongli immediately widened his eyes and shouted: "Cavals eat shit? Why can't they come back? What fun is watching?"

In fact, Xue Yongli was a little nitpicking at this time. The cavalry followed the artillery regiment and they wanted to comfort the horses in the shelling just now, so they had just arranged the formation.

With the long whistles, more than three thousand Runing cavalry finally began to move. The infantry and artillery of Runing army cheered and waved their arms at them, and the cavalry team continued to burst out with cheers.

"It depends on our sabers to solve the battle!" shouted the deputy commander of the cavalry corps who were commanding the cavalry to charge.

A sound immediately sounded in the cavalry team: "Wan Sheng!"

The deputy commander waved his hand directly, and the trumpeter blew the charge, and another shocking cheer. The entire cavalry unit burst out with their strongest voice at the same moment.

Thousands of riders lined up in neatly and pressed forward together, as if they were unstoppable like a moving mountain, and as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking, and smoke and dust were rolling.

The cavalry trotted with the speed of the horse, and the formation continued to unfold. The teams behind were pulled to the front line, and the huge frontal formation pressed towards the peasant army. The distance between the cavalry and the cavalry was also four or five steps away, which allowed the cavalry to wield their weapons comfortably.

The deputy commander of the Cavalry Legion led his personal soldiers to the front of the cavalry line. He firmly controlled his mount speed and must use his momentum to completely disperse the formation of the peasant army.

The cavalry array, the running and movement of people and horses under their crotch are far more than the same number, and even several times the charge of the infantry team. This earth-shaking momentum is surging and oppressing. Faced with all this, the enemy often dares not fight head-on in his heart, and will flee and turn around and dodge.

As long as the enemy can no longer maintain their formation and flee, they will not be the opponent of cavalry with a condescending and stunning impact, and swinging swords on the enemy's back, that's the simplest thing.

Even the cavalry that controlled the speed was much faster than the two legs. Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers were still in shock when they saw the cavalry that were leaning towards him slowly, and their throats were dry and their hearts were tight.

Zhang Xianzhong's old camp members also knew that they could not be in trouble, but if they wanted to fight or run away, they still needed their own king's orders.

But at this time, Zhang Xianzhong was already mentally collapsed. First, the Runing army quickly broke through the left wing, and then endured the astonishing artillery fire on the face, and now they have to face the pursuit of elite cavalry.

Zhang Xianzhong had no reaction at all and did not issue any orders. He just opened his throat and howled: "It's over! It's all over!"

This made the generals and personal soldiers around Zhang Xianzhong stunned. (To be continued...)
