"Master He, the sound of the gun stopped. It's very fast and stable..."

The Zuo Jin King He Jin, who was leading troops to protect the last, frowned. There were a burst of gunfire behind him just now, but now it has returned to silence. There are only two results. Either the more than a hundred brothers sent to kill the small group of official troops, or the brothers sent to be broken again.

A moment later, the sound of horse hooves sounded again in the rear, and several riders appeared.

Blue cotton armor, red zither suit, and bright red helmet tassels. A horseman in front was holding a flag gun, and the three-foot red gun flag was waving in the wind.

"It's that official army!"

A scream sounded around him, and He Jin was a little dizzy. The official army had only ten cavalry, but it seemed that they had killed them. The three cavalry teams were sent over there, with more than one hundred cavalry, but none of the people sent back now came back. The ten cavalry officers had seven cavalry left.

"Master He, let me take someone to chop them up." A big bandit man shouted.

"Shut up!" He Jin shouted, "Don't pay attention to them, pass on the orders and speed up."

These nine-headed cavalry that could not be killed even if they remained in dispersed, made He Jinxin even heavier and uneasy. He no longer wanted to deal with these cavalry now, so what if he killed them? These are just a few soldiers, but nine-headed birds have 20,000. If you continue to waste time here, the large group of nine-headed birds will catch up.

"How come these nine-headed birds have such a sensitive sense of smell? As soon as we set off, they caught up with them."

The team continued to move forward, but the seven riders and nine-headed birds behind were hanging from behind.

After walking for a while, almost noon, He Jin suddenly heard a cannon sound in front of him. Then there were the sound of a firecracker like a fried bean and the sound of a firecracker like a dense bead.

"The government army has gone around us!" A bandit shouted in fear.

"How is this possible!" He Jin was also extremely shocked. Even though the Nine-Headed Birds discovered that they were retreating since yesterday, they did not catch up so quickly, let alone detours in front of intercepting them.

"Maybe it's not the Nine-headed Bird."

"Who else? Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng's soldiers are still in Fengyang area, and Shi Kefa's soldiers are still in Luzhenguan. Who else can there be besides the Nine-Headed Bird?"

"But the nine-headed bird is clearly behind us, so how did they go around in front?"

The reincarnated king Liu Xiyao led more than 10,000 soldiers from the Fourth Battalion to walk in the front. They had already received a notice from the back, knowing that the nine-headed bird's scout was tightly attached to the back, and their traces had been discovered. He ordered his troops to lay the sheath and bow and tread, and move forward with caution and speed up.

Liu Xiyao walked forward while paying attention to the terrain. After years of fighting, he became very alert and cautious. When he saw a small river in front, with dense forests on the other side, hills rolling, and the terrain was very suitable for ambush. He immediately stopped the team, and then sent out a whistle to prepare to go for reconnaissance.

However, although the order was passed on, no one followed it.

The fourth battalion of the front army had more than 10,000 people and horses walked for a day and a night. The people were thirsty and trapped. As soon as they saw the river, they could not stop. The troops of the battalions rushed towards the river in a noisy manner, and they were competing to bend down and drink with water with their hands. Some people finished drinking, and even took out the kettle that had been drunk and had already been used to get water.

In order to quench their thirst, they tried their best to squeeze towards the river bank and continued to expand to both sides. The four camps quickly opened a long line along the river bank.

During this chaos, a sudden cannon fired a lead bullet from the forest on the opposite river bank, followed by countless muskets and leads, and then a large number of cavalrymen suddenly came out of the forests on both sides.

The sound of cannons shook the sky, and the shouts of killing moved the ground. The dense rain of cannons and leads hit the bandits. In an instant, the dense unprepared bandits fell down a large area by the river, and the blood flowed into the river, turning the river water into red.

The reincarnated king Liu Xiyao was also stunned, but he reacted quickly and shouted quickly to get his subordinates to gather together again.

"Rise the banner and move closer to it!"

"Retreat, retreat one hundred steps!"

Liu Xiyao shouted, and he also saw that the official arms were powerful and wanted to lead the team to withdraw from the attack range of the firearm.

The artillery fire was flying, and the cavalry of the official army had already come over, and the bandits were even more confused.

Suddenly, a dense whistling sound rang out on Liu Xiyao's head. He looked up and saw countless lead bullets and smoke coming.

Liu Xiyao asked his subordinates to raise the banner and waved the troops to gather together. He was also discovered by the nine-headed bird's artillery. He immediately took care of him and gave him a saturation attack.

A lead bullet hit his war horse's head directly. Half of the horse's head disappeared. The war horse fell down with a bang. Liu Xiyao quickly picked off the horse and quickly jumped onto another war horse that had no master. But at this time, another lead bullet fell and hit his chest directly.

Liu Xiyao was knocked away from his horse. When he landed on the ground, his chest had collapsed, bleeding from his seven orifices, and he died.

The fierce artillery fire continued, and Feng Sheng led the cavalry to sweep over like a strong wind. The short guns, sabers, and nine-headed cavalry were like tigers, unstoppable.

The bandits' front army lost Liu Shiyao's command and became more and more chaotic. They could no longer form formations, like a piece of dispersed sand. Feng Sheng led his troops to rush left and right and broke them up again and again.

At this time, the musketeers also crossed the river from the opposite side of the river bank, lined up horizontally and advanced layer by layer. Some fierce thieves wanted to rush up, but the musketeers of the Nine-Headed Bird used the nine-ring formation. The musketeers lined up in nine horizontal rows. Each time one row was shot, one row was shot, the second row was connected, and each row was alternately advanced.

After the gun was released, he squatted down and filled the gunpowder, then walked to the formation to fire the gun. After this repeated, the already chaotic bandits could not rush under the continuous firepower.

The bandits ran around in a daze, and more than 10,000 people in the fourth battalion were completely disbanded.

Feng Shengsha was sexually aroused and was about to continue chasing him, when suddenly the sound of gold sound came from behind. He shook the blood beads on the sabre, wiped the blood from his face, and then turned the horse's head back.

"The bandits and bandits are about to arrive. We have to reorganize our formation and defend our positions. We must not let the bandits run away." Deng Yuan, the battalion officer of the teaching battalion, said to Feng Sheng who was returning.

"My old Feng understands that you don't need to say more."

Although it broke through the front army of the bandits, in fact, there were only 5,000 people from Jiutou. When Liu Jun received the news that the bandits were about to run away, he immediately sent Feng Sheng to lead the cavalry battalion. Deng Yuan led the teaching battalion to quickly go around the front of the bandits to intercept, and then he led the rest of the troops to pursue him behind.

In order to quickly reach the front of the bandits, the cavalry battalion and the cavalry department in the teaching battalion all took the horses out and gave it to other soldiers and horses in the teaching battalion to ride. They galloped all the way and finally arrived here.

However, in order to arrive quickly, they moved forward with light luggage, each carrying a dry food bag and a light cannon of 100 kilograms. No heavier cannon was brought.

Old Hui Ma Shouying and Ge Li's eyes He Yilong soon learned the news of the collapse of the front army, and the two were very frightened. Liu Xiyao and the fourth battalion war soldiers were defeated for a while, but they were unable to hold on until their arrival.

"Where is Mr. Liu?"

"Mr. Liu died in battle. He was shot by the dog officers and soldiers and was killed directly." A defeated soldier replied in panic.

He Yilong was shocked and said, "Liu Xiyao died like this?"

"The government army is coming too fast. How many people are there in front?"

The bandit who was brought over to question the question was pale and replied tremblingly, "The officers and soldiers ambushed many cannons, countless musketeers, and many cavalrymen, probably tens of thousands of people. We were directly dispersed by them, and the cannonballs in the sky could not be hit at all."

"It is impossible that there are tens of thousands of people, and only nine-headed birds enter Huaihe River have only 20,000 soldiers and horses. How could all come?"

"But since the officers and soldiers brought many cannons, many musketeers, and cavalrymen, they would have to have at least ten thousand people."

Lao Hui nodded, "I'm afraid that the remaining tens of thousands of people will come from behind, so we have to kill them immediately, otherwise we will be trapped here."

Lao Huihui asked Ge Li to gather the defeated troops of the front army, so he personally led the central army battalions to the riverside, hoping to break through the official army's interception in one fell swoop.

"kill!"

Countless bandits rushed to the other side of the river like a huge torrent.

"The bandits are going to do a sea of ​​people!" Feng Sheng snorted coldly. The blood stains on his body had not been cleaned yet, and they were still blood-stained. However, the cavalry battalion and the teaching battalion had retreated back to the other side of the river to form a formation. The cavalry on both wings were musketeers in front and artillerymen behind. Because time was in a hurry, they did not have time to dig trenches and set up camps, but they dragged the originally made horse-rejected horses to the river bank to set up three horse-rejected walls.

"Maybe they were invincible in the past, but for us Jiutou, the one we are most afraid of is the human wave tactic." Deng Yuan said with a laugh. Jiutou's firearms are equipped with sufficient firearms, especially those Folang machine cannons, and shotguns are shot, which are endless, with one blow and one block.

"Although this river is not deep, it can slow down the thief's charge speed very well."

"Well, let's fight when they get closer. We'll fire before they go down the river."

Faced with the overwhelming bandits, Deng Yuan and Feng Sheng were not worried at all.

The bandits quickly shouted and rushed to the riverside. They waded directly with the river water and continued to rush forward. The river water was only knee-length, but it greatly slowed down their speed. Soon the river was densely filled with bandits.

"Fire the artillery!" Such a dense crowd is what artillery most hopes to see.

"I understand!" Dong Xing, the guerrilla general in charge of artillery, replied with a laugh. He waved his hand to the artillerymen around him, "It's time to let our divine cannons come on the field, and let the bandits see the artillery weapon!"

Several bronze cannons were pushed up. This cannon was different from ordinary Folang machines and even red-clothed cannons. Its barrel was extremely short and its caliber was very large, and it looked like a huge bell.

The front is thick and the back is restrained, shaped like a bell, with ears on both sides, and a four-wheeled wooden cannon truck carrying it, weighing 600 kilograms. They have worked a lot of effort to bring these magical cannons over.
