"Da da da……"

There was a heavy sound of horse hoofbeats, and five hundred heavily armored cavalry holding shields appeared about three hundred steps in front of the Qin army formation.

"Heavy armored cavalry?"

Sun Chuanting and Li Shouting were shocked when they saw the rogue heavy armored cavalry.

They had never seen or even heard of heavy armored cavalry among rogue bandits.

Both of them were unsure whether the lead bullets of the flintlock rifles could penetrate the heavy armor of the bandits. They looked at each other with serious expressions on their faces.

Sun Chuanting didn't know much about firearms as Li Shouting did, so he hurriedly asked:

"Xiao General Li, how many steps can a flintlock gun penetrate heavy armor?"

Li Shouting raised his hands and said:

"The rogue heavy armored cavalry should be put together temporarily. Without training, their combat effectiveness should be limited.

Twenty steps of lead bullets should be able to penetrate heavy armor, but they still have shields in their hands, and the lead bullets can at most penetrate their shields.

But the commander-in-chief can rest assured that even without using flintlock guns, the general believes that the Qin soldiers are capable of defeating the rogues, and they will definitely pay a huge price."

Sun Chuanting nodded, as long as Li Zicheng can be completely eliminated, Qin Bing will do whatever it takes.

He was just about to encourage his soldiers when he suddenly saw the rogue heavy armored cavalry stop advancing and said hurriedly:

"What are the bandits doing?"

Li Shouting was shocked when he saw this:

"It's not good to hide the war horses' eyes. They may use heavy armored cavalry to directly collide with our army's formation..."

The five hundred heavy armors rushed up desperately, and the phalanx was bound to be broken. Sun Chuanting's expression also changed drastically:

"It seems that the only option is to fight hard and bring the governor's sword..."

He was so anxious that in order to prevent Li Zicheng from escaping the encirclement, Sun Chuanting actually wanted to join the battle himself.

Before he finished speaking, his personal guard sent a large knife weighing about thirty kilograms, and Sun Chuanting immediately took the knife in his hand.

Originally, Sun Chuanting was fully armed, with a sword in his hand, and he looked majestic.

Sun Chuanting was the same as Lu Xiangsheng. Although he was a scholar, he was capable of writing and martial arts, but he was not as fierce as Lu Xiangsheng, and he had never killed an enemy with his own hands.

However, in order to kill Li Zicheng, Sun Chuanting was not afraid of death in battle, but with more than 20,000 Qin soldiers under his command present, how could he be allowed to personally participate in the battle.

As the crown prince personally appointed the governor of Shaanxi, what if something happened to Sun Chuanting, even if he killed Li Zicheng, Li Shouting could not explain it to the new emperor.

Li Shouting hurriedly shouted:

"Commander Governor, what use is there to kill a chicken with a bull's knife? We have enough soldiers from Qin to protect the Commander-in-Chief.

Li Shouting gave an order, and a group of Qin soldiers immediately rushed to Sun Chuanting and surrounded him tightly.

Sun Chuanting's horse was trapped and his subordinates refused to let him go. It was difficult for him to rush out. He immediately glared at Li Shouting and said angrily:

"Li Shouting, you are committing the following crime. Let them retreat quickly. Are you going to let me watch the bandits break the formation?"

Li Shouting cupped his hands and said:

"Sir, I will finally be confident enough to stop the bandits. You don't need to put yourself at risk, just sit back and take command."

After Li Shouting said this, he immediately issued an order:

"Come here, tell me this general's order. Two thousand musketeers with bayonets mounted will rush to support the left wing!"

Seeing that a hand-to-hand fight was about to take place, the firecrackers had lost their effectiveness as the two sides fought in a melee.

Li Shouting decisively ordered the center formation and the right-wing fire rifle soldiers to fix their bayonets and be ready to support the left-wing Qin soldiers at any time.

"Here!"

The two phalanx pikemen did not move, and the two thousand musketeers immediately began to install bayonets.

At this time, the rogues' 500 heavy armored cavalry and 100 cavalry were divided into five rows and quickly rushed towards the Qin army's left square formation.

The eyes of their horses were blindfolded and they could not see clearly what was going on ahead. They relied entirely on the heavy armored cavalry on horseback to control the forward movement.

The distance is three hundred steps, and it takes a few breaths to enter the range of one hundred steps.

"Fire and give me a hard beating..."

General Qin Bingqian immediately ordered the front row of gunmen to shoot:

"Bang bang bang..."

The three hundred musketeers fired a volley in an instant. The lead bullets sent sparks flying from the shields, but did not cause any damage to the heavy armored cavalry.

Only a few unlucky ones were shot in the face and fell off their horses screaming, while other cavalry were still approaching quickly.

Qin Fang is the general flag brought by Li Shouting from the National Guard Army, and has been promoted to the rank of Qian General among the Qin soldiers.

When he saw something bad, he immediately shouted:

"The musketeers retreated to install bayonets, and the pikemen came forward, holding their rifles to the ground to defend themselves against the cavalry's advance."

"Here!"

Qin Fang gave an order, and the firecrackers immediately retreated to install bayonets.

The spearman stepped forward and put the shaft of his spear on the ground, pointing the bright tip of the spear at the charging heavy armored cavalry.

Sure enough, as Sun Chuanting and Li Shouting expected, the hundred heavily armored cavalry in the front row of the rogue pirates first threw their shields at the Qin soldiers' spearmen, and then rushed into the spear formation without hesitation.

Hundreds of spears were broken in an instant, and a large section of the Qin soldiers who were holding the spears were knocked away. Only twenty or thirty of the one hundred heavily armored horses were assassinated by the spears.

Even if the war horse was assassinated before the spear was broken, it still slammed into the Qin soldiers' formation under the strong inertia. Some spearmen in the front row were directly killed by the war horse.

Dozens of other war horses broke their spears and crashed fiercely into the Qin soldiers' formation almost at the same time. In an instant, more than a hundred Qin soldiers vomited blood and flew out.

But before the spearmen of the Qin army were ready, the four hundred heavily armored horses behind them ran into the Qin army one after another. Suddenly, the Qin soldiers were hit hard and the horses neighed...

Five hundred heavily armored cavalry, regardless of life and death, including men and horses, crashed into the Qin soldiers' spear phalanx within a dozen breaths of time.

The airtight spear phalanx of the Qin soldiers was instantly shattered into pieces. Hundreds of people flew backwards with blood spurting from their mouths under the huge impact. The Qin soldiers were suddenly in chaos...

The heavily armored cavalry on horseback were also thrown away. Some of them hit the tips of their spears and were dug into a hornet's nest, while others flew into Qin soldiers and knocked down a large number of Qin soldiers.

At least half of the heavy armored soldiers of the rogue bandits did not suffer much damage. They stood up and attacked the Qin soldiers with heavy weapons such as axes in their hands...

"Bang bang..."

The people in the glazed heavy armor fought desperately to kill regardless of life and death. Even if two spears pierced their bodies, they still stubbornly smashed their weapons on the heads and bodies of the Qin soldiers before they died.

The rogue death squad's strategy of killing both sides was extremely destructive, and coupled with the fierce impact of the horses in front, it caused at least thousands of Qin soldiers casualties in a short period of time.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Quick, spread out and form a formation to fight..."

After all, the Qin soldiers had received strict training. Although they were in a hurry when they were killed, they quickly calmed down under the command of their respective generals and General Qian.

They immediately formed battle formations with small flags as units and began to attack the more than 200 armored bandits alive in the formation.

But it was difficult for the spear to penetrate the heavy armor of the rogue bandits for a while, so I could only stab them crazily on their legs and faces...

The heavy armored infantry of the rogue bandits were not given in vain. They used maces and axes in their hands to deflect some of the spears that were thrust at them, and then approached the Qin soldiers and smashed and slashed them.

Although no one of the Qin soldiers retreated, they had no way to deal with these heavy armored soldiers in a short period of time. At this moment, a thousand musketeers rushed up with bayonets in hand.

"Pikemen get out of the way..."

Zhao Guang, Commander-in-Chief of the Fire Gun Soldiers Qian, shouted loudly and led his men to join the battle group:

"prick!"

"Puff..."

Three bayonets struck a bandit wearing heavy armor almost at the same time, but the bandit did not dodge and raised his mace to hit a Qin soldier with a musket.

He also wanted to rely on his heavy armor to defend and severely injure the Qin soldiers. As soon as he smashed his mace, two bayonets were immediately held up, and three bayonets stabbed into his back and chest almost at the same time.

The flintlock guns were equipped with sharp and tough Mitsubishi bayonets. With the blessing of huge power, they easily penetrated the heavy armor of the rogue and penetrated his body.

The bandit stared in disbelief at the three-edged bayonet that passed through his chest. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and then he closed his eyes unwillingly...

Under the siege of a thousand Mitsubishi bayonets, half of the more than two hundred heavily armored rogues were quickly killed, and a dozen Qin soldiers were also killed by them.

"Brothers, hurry up and follow me..."

With the cooperation of the heavily armored bandits, the Qin soldiers had no time to reorganize their formation. Liu Zongmin and Hao Yaoqi led an army of eight thousand bandits to attack again.

Behind them, Li Zicheng saw the opportunity to break out. He immediately drew his sword and waved it in the air:

"Brothers, if you can break out of the encirclement in one fell swoop, kill them and kill Sun Chuanting. The one who kills Sun Chuanting will be rewarded with five thousand taels of silver..."

Li Zicheng gave an order and personally led five thousand cavalry to charge forward. Almost all the bandits rushed towards the left flank of the Qin army.

During the charge, Li Zicheng did not forget Sun Chuanting, hoping that a rogue general would break through and take away Sun Chuanting's head.

The Qin soldiers were well-trained and would not turn around and flee because of the large number of rogue bandits. The front was already in chaos and they could not form formations.

The Qin soldiers who did not come forward to kill the enemy quickly deployed a 3,000-man spear phalanx thirty steps behind the front formation under the command of their respective commanders.

Don't underestimate the spear formation of these 3,000 people. None of them are cowards. The bandits must step over their corpses if they want to break through.
