Under the black smoke, the enemy camp was silent, and it became more and more unclear. Only with the sound of cannons, the fire flashed in the black smoke, accompanied by the sound of shells passing through the air. Every time the sound of cannons sounded, Cui Xianxi's heart suddenly jumped. He was wearing strong fish scale armor and surrounded by more than 200 cavalrymen in the back formation, which was the safest place for the entire army, and even so. Other Goryeo soldiers felt even more fearful. If this army had not also attacked the Jurchen tribe in the northeast and had fought a real bloody battle, they would have fled in all directions due to fear. "General Huang should have killed the cavalry that detoured from the flanks, why hasn't the enemy's artillery tower been solved yet?" Cui Xianxi's heart was covered with a dark cloud.

The formation became increasingly chaotic, and the various lieutenants and vice-captains were shouting, trying their best to control their subordinates to flee in panic. Wherever the enemy's shells passed, the surrounding soldiers were crowded to the side, and at most ten people were knocked down each time. However, in order to rectify the hundreds of soldiers who became messy, the speed of the entire formation was delayed. If it were usual, they would have to hold back the line and move slowly outside one hundred and fifty steps, neither let the warriors break ahead nor the weak fall behind to keep the formation tight. However, under the pressure of artillery fire, the vanguard team in front hesitated, and the officers behind wanted to quickly pass this damn distance, and they couldn't help but shout: "Go!" "Hurry up!" "Go, go!" and even began to push.

The chaotic scene made Choi Xianxi's mood reach the extreme. As a hereditary martial arts squad, he also wanted to make achievements on the battlefield. However, this place was not as good as he imagined. The enemy's positions were shrouded in thicker black smoke, and artillery shells were constantly shooting. On his side, flesh and blood were splattering and brain bursting. In these shocking scenes, soldiers with broken limbs and broken hands were screaming and moaning loudly, and the officers and soldiers had pale faces, as if they had encountered an evil ghost in hell.

Marching in chaos and patience, and finally getting closer and closer to the enemy's formation, Choi Xianxi could even see the enemy's face behind the trench "It's fast, it's fast." Although the shelling caused great chaos, as long as the close forces were connected, the advantage of our troops would be exerted. "Even if there are no cavalry attacking from behind, we can win!"

The vanguard team was less than 120 steps away from the enemy's formation. Choi Xianxi raised his right hand upwards. This was the military order for the archer to advance while shooting arrows. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. At this moment, he suddenly heard the other general Park Sung-gyu shout loudly: "Be careful, sir!" Before Choi Xianxi could react, a shell rushed in with a low whistling thrust. With a bang, it hit the cavalry beside him. The cavalry caught off guard and groaned, and the whole person was actually beaten by the shells, which made Choi Xianxi's war horse neigh and almost fell down. The frightened war horse kept stumbled. Choi Xianxi tried hard to catch its neck, and there was almost no time to look around.

When the Goryeo Army entered the range of hundreds of steps in front of the formation, Xia Guo's two-wing artillery base began to shoot with all its strength. The gunners opened fire at the fastest speed, and Gao Su even ordered two round iron shells to be fired at a time. At the same time, the crossbowmen arranged on the two-wing artillery base also drifted into the sky. The archers in Chengying Camp were the elite of the entire army. Without aiming, the archery speed was extremely astonishing. Almost continuously, the arrow feathers flew out on the parabola and fell into the Goryeo Army.

The sudden flank strike caused chaos in the Goryeo army. The trained elite archers were shot to death before they could even shoot an arrow. The central army flinched, and the vanguard team in front almost collapsed. The rear formation was directly bombarded by artillery, and the war horses kicked and ran around, and many cavalry were lifted off their horses.

In the chaos, Choi Xianxi controlled his war horse, pulled out his sword, and shouted loudly: "Run over!" His eyes were bloodshot, and the back of his sword slashed and smashed the confused officer beside him, pointing to the Xia army camp a hundred steps away and shouting: "Kill over!" "Kill over!" At this time, the helpless generals finally woke up. The battle reached this point, within a hundred steps, the two armies met and the brave ones won. The brave general Choi Xianxi's bravery

The cavalry generals who were from the martial squad were impressed and pulled out their weapons, bypassing the chaotic infantry in front of them, and planned to ride their horses across the trenches and thin the enemy's formation. The other lieutenants and deputy lieutenants saw the soldiers and horses rushing forward with the cavalry, and they also tried their best to rectify their subordinates and drove the soldiers to follow the cavalry and charge towards the enemy. For a moment, there were shouts of killing in the Goryeo army, and they even rushed to the formation under artillery bombardment and arrow feathers on three sides.

This scene moved Jin Xianrong, the commander of the city wall at Baozhou, and sighed: "General Cui is really a brave general!"

.............

The face of trapped beasts still fighting was ferocious and terrifying. Zhao Xingde put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and whispered: "This army is considered elite in the Goryeo Army. However, if the artillery fire is a little more fierce, they may not be so close." He stood behind the main artillery position, and ordered his personal soldiers to surround him, guarding the subordinates from all sides to look here from time to time. Zhao Xingde felt that these people had a smile in their eyes and felt a little ashamed of his own doing nothing. For some reason, after checking the last post last night, he slept so calmly and sweetly that when the soldiers reported that the Goryeo people were out of the city to attack at night, they found that there was no movement in the central army tent except snoring. In the end, Ma Rui, Jian Cheng, Du Chujiao and others came in to wake him up.

"Strange, I wouldn't sleep so hard," Zhao Xingde shook his head with a self-deprecating voice, "Are you really not excited about the battlefield to this point?"

After finally being woken up, Zhao Xingde heard clearly that the Goryeo army was out of the city to line up, and his first sentence was: "What are you waiting for? The cannons opened fire, fire!" The centurions led their teams according to the pre-arranged strategy. The frontal artillery fire never stopped from the beginning. The cannon leader tried his best to aim at the enemy without too much interference. The two-wing artillery base was commanded by Gao Su and Liu Zhijian, and he only issued the military order to open fire and no longer cared about it. Ma Rui and Jian Cheng in the rear had already solved the enemy's detour cavalry, Du Chujiao's sword and shield hands were on standby, and Tang Qiyong was watching the trench defense line.
