Seeing the heavy casualties among his men, Li Zicheng hurriedly ordered a halt to the attack.

We had fought against Sun Chuanting before, and although we lost more than we won, Sun Chuanting had soldiers from all walks of life supporting him at that time.

Facing the Qin infantry alone this time, they could not take advantage at all, which made Li Zicheng feel unbelievable.

He couldn't figure out why the Qin army's combat effectiveness suddenly soared, as if it had turned into a completely different army.

Especially those firecrackers without match ropes were more ferocious, causing huge casualties to the old camp of rogue bandits.

Seeing the rogue bandits withdrawing their troops, Sun Chuanting did not send an order to pursue them in pursuit of victory.

There were mostly cavalry in the old camp of the rogue bandits. If the pursuit caused chaos in the formation and Li Zicheng took the opportunity to break out, he would be guilty of a great crime.

The Qin soldiers only need to hold on to their position. The rogue bandits have no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside. Even if they are trapped, they can trap Li Zicheng to death.

There were white pole soldiers and Tianxiong troops guarding other intersections, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, was watching the back road. This time Li Zicheng could not escape.

Li Zicheng sent out 16,000 men and more than 12,000 men came back, and lost more than 3,000 in the first battle.

Hao Yaoqi, who has always been brave and invincible and fearless of life and death, felt a little downcast this time:

"King Chuang, the firearms of the Qin soldiers are too fierce, and the brothers have suffered heavy losses. We must find a way to break the formation..."

Yuan Zongdi nodded:

"Yes, the spear formation is also weatherproof. This time it is really troublesome..."

Liu Zongmin said:

"Without artillery, we can no longer attack the Qin soldiers. How about we attack the Tianxiong army and the white pole soldiers..."

Li Zicheng stared at the Qin soldiers' phalanx and said seriously:

"This is the first time we have encountered such a fierce phalanx since we raised the flag, and it will be a severe test for our brothers.

It is better to attack the Tianxiong army and Baigan soldiers first, and find out where the combat effectiveness is weak, and the whole army must rush out at all costs.

Try not to go all out during the testing phase, especially with their musket array, and retreat immediately if they cannot break through.

The old camp can no longer die in vain. Once the old camp loses all its losses, we will all die in Wen County today.

You guys should take a rest first. Two brothers, Zhang Shijie and Bai Minghe, will lead 3,000 people to attack the Tianxiong Army.

Two brothers, Li You and Li Ren Jirong, led 3,000 men to attack the white pole soldiers.

The situation is very unfavorable to us now. Once you successfully break through, leave immediately and go as far as you want, go ahead!"

The four people hurriedly raised their hands and said:

"King Chuang, you can't say that. We can't leave you and your brothers alone..."

Before they finished speaking, Li Zicheng waved his hands hurriedly:

"No, we are on the verge of life and death when we break into the camp. We can get out one by one. If you can break out, you must continue to raise the banner of breaking out of the camp. This is an order!"

"Got the order!"

The four of them bowed and saluted Li Zicheng, then mounted their horses and led the army towards the Tianxiong army and the Baigan soldiers.

"Da da……"

As soon as the two groups of men and horses set off, a war horse quickly came to Li Zicheng. The man who came did not have a war horse but raised his hand and said:

"Report to King Chuang. The officers and soldiers in the rear formation have not taken any action. General Li Guo has ordered his subordinates to come and report to you!"

Li Zicheng nodded:

"They are waiting for our army to be exhausted to launch a siege. They ordered Li Guo to keep a close eye on Hong Chengchou's troops and report immediately if there is any movement!"

"Got the order!"

The messenger immediately turned his horse and galloped away.

Soon, gunfire and shouts of death rang out from the southwest, and Li Zicheng knew that his men were beginning to charge into the formation.

He really hoped that an army could break through the encirclement, otherwise the camp might really fail in Xiaoxiaowen County.

Bai Minghe led three thousand bandits to charge towards Tianxiong's army. When he was about two hundred steps away, he gave the charge order with the iron rod in his hand:

"Come on, brothers, kill for the sake of becoming king!"

However, as soon as they rushed about 120 steps in front of the Tianxiong army's formation, the muskets in front of the Tianxiong army's formation spurted out clouds of anger.

"Bang bang..."

At first, the charging cavalrymen thought that they were 120 steps away and couldn't hit them with muskets, but they soon discovered that they were wrong. The companions who were charging in front were hit by the bullets and fell off their horses one after another in the sound of Tianxiong's gunfire. Five or six fell instantly.

Hundreds of people……

"How can this be?"

Bai Minghe's eyes turned red. It was absolutely impossible for them to order them to stop charging now. He hurriedly ordered his subordinates to divide into several small groups, and charge at full speed with two riders and one row.

In this way, the area where the rogues charge is reduced, which can indeed reduce casualties. However, Tianxiong's army has five thousand gunmen, and their firepower is much denser than that of the Qin soldiers. Ninety steps or so is still a forbidden area for the old camp of the rogues.

The Three Thousand Old Battalion suffered more than a thousand casualties in a dozen breaths. If they continued to charge, all the Three Thousand Old Battalion would be killed in front of the Tianxiong Army's formation, and not even the hair of the Tianxiong Army could be touched.

"Stop charging immediately!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Bai Minghe immediately ordered to stop the charge.

But when they were withdrawing their troops and returning, the mini-bullets were still chasing them and firing at them, and it was not safe until they had withdrawn within 200 steps.

Only more than a thousand of the three thousand people could return safely, and half of the brothers from the old camp died a hundred steps away from the Tianxiong army's formation.

Bai Minghe felt that it was unbelievable. The range of a fire gun could reach two hundred steps. It was so terrifying. How could we fight this battle?

In addition to the White Whooping Crane, Chuangying also had an army attacking the Baigan soldiers. This time they easily broke through to the 60-step front of the Baigan soldiers' formation.

When Li Yougang issued the order to release arrows, thousands of arrows suddenly shot out from the white pole formation:

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

For a moment, arrows were flying like locusts, and the sky was filled with flying arrows. When the arrows flew over their heads, they suddenly turned around and attacked the bandits.

The elite rogue bandits, who only wore cotton armor, were hit by arrows one after another, wailing one after another, but almost at the same time, the bows and arrows in their hands were also shot at the white soldiers.

"The shield soldiers came forward to protect us."

Qin Yiming gave an order, and the white pole soldiers immediately raised their shields, and the arrows fired by the rogue cavalry fell on the shields one after another.

Only a few unlucky white pole soldiers were injured by arrows that got through the gaps, but the number of dozens of people hit by arrows was negligible for the 20,000 white pole soldiers.

"Rush, hurry up for me..."

Li You started shouting hysterically like crazy, desperately urging behind him to speed up the killing.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But when the elite bandits rushed to the white-gun soldiers, white-guns suddenly thrust out at the command of the commander, one by one.

The hook and sickle spear took advantage of the situation and cut off the front legs of the war horse.

Every inch is longer and every inch stronger. Although the bandits are cavalry, they are also powerless to fight back in front of the long white spears.

"Puff..."

One after another, the war horses fell to the ground in mourning, and the bandits on horseback fell off their horses in an instant. Before they could get up, they were immediately pierced into a hornet's nest by the points of white spears.

As soon as the rogue bandits behind them rushed forward, they were immediately stabbed to the ground by the white-gunned guns. At the same time, under the orders of Mr. Qian and General Biao, the white-gunned soldiers began to move forward and press against the cavalry of the old camp of the rogue bandits.

"kill!"

"puff……"

No matter how elite the veteran soldiers of the rogue camp are, they are powerless to fight back against the famous white pole soldiers in history. Even the new recruits who have been formed for less than a year have equally superior combat effectiveness.

"withdraw……"

Seeing that there was no possibility of breaking through the blockade of the white pole soldiers, Li You sighed and hurriedly gave the order to retreat. Upon hearing the order to retreat, the defeated rogue soldiers immediately turned their horses and withdrew from the battle.

Seeing the rogues retreating, Qin Liangyu also did not order the white-armed soldiers to pursue them. It was basically impossible for the infantry to pursue the cavalry, and there was a possibility of being counterattacked.

Of the 6,000 troops sent by Li Zicheng, more than 4,000 defeated generals escaped within half an hour. The casualties almost reached half, and all the rogue generals looked trembling.

Bai Minghe's left arm was still bleeding, and he said angrily:

"King Chuang, the weapons of Tianxiong's army are more powerful than those of Qin's soldiers. The range can reach more than 200 steps. The general's subordinates suffered more than 1,700 casualties. This road is blocked..."

Li You was covered in blood. He didn't know whether he was injured or the blood splattered on his opponent's body.

His face turned pale and he cupped his hands and said:

"King Chuang, the last general is incompetent. The white-poled soldiers are so skinny that a camel is bigger than a horse. My brothers were almost surrounded by them. In comparison, the Qin army seems to be weaker..."

Li Zicheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat when he heard this. The Qin soldiers had already caused heavy casualties to his subordinates, and the Tianxiong army and the Baigan soldiers were even stronger.

Are they all new recruits? Where did the new recruits get such high combat effectiveness? Will Chuangying really fall in Wen County this time?

No, it's absolutely impossible. He must fight his way out of the siege no matter what, and he must not let Chuangying be destroyed in his hands...

In the rear formation, Gao Guiying stared southward like a stone statue. Seeing the camp flags going back and forth, her heart began to panic.

Her niece-in-law Huang, her sister-in-law Chen, and the mothers and wives of several generals all came to Gao Guiying's horse.

Seeing that Madam was staring at the south without blinking, they all stood beside her silently, not daring to speak.
