Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters take the initiative to attack

"It's a pity that almost all our cavalry with the tiger flag are on the grassland. Otherwise, if the cavalry pressed forward, it would definitely lead to a great defeat for this official army." Wang Lin said with regret.

Liu Heng nodded slightly.

The biggest flaw of the chariot array and phalanx array of the tiger flag is that it moves too slowly. It is okay to have cavalry cooperation. Once there is no cavalry cooperation, it is rare to pursue the enemy at will.

"It's better to transfer the old fifth and the breastplate cavalry from Xinpingbao back. The subordinates think that Yang Guozhu only suffered one defeat and the loss is not big, so he may not withdraw his troops." Wang Lin looked at Liu Heng.

In addition to the iron armored cavalry camp on the grassland, the tiger flag also has a newly established breast armored cavalry team on the grassland outside Xinpingbao.

Liu Heng looked up at the direction of the official army retreating in the distance, and said in a faint tone: "It doesn't matter if Yang Guozhu doesn't retreat, let's help him retreat."

Wang Lin was puzzled when he heard this.

Liu Heng did not explain to him, but said to Zhao Wu: "Send escorts to keep an eye on the official army and see where they set up camp."

"Yes." Zhao Wu agreed and ran to pass the order.

The brigade of cavalry with the tiger flag is not around, so there are some cavalrymen who can be used as whistle cavalry.

"What the boss means is that we will fight another battle with the official army next?" Wang Lin asked in a low voice.

Liu Heng said solemnly: "Yang Guozhu was ordered to come to Datong to quell the rebellion. As long as our tiger flag exists for one day, he will not withdraw his troops unless the Xuanfu army is broken into the hands of our tiger flag. Now all we have to do is eat Yang Guozhu's army."

As the words fell, he waved his fists.

"My subordinates and the fifth war camp are willing to be the vanguard of the army." Wang Lin asked for the battle.

"Yes." Liu Heng nodded in agreement.

The soldiers from the Second Battle Soldier Camp on the battlefield saw the official army withdraw and began to clean the battlefield.

The official army lost many weapons, most of which were spears used by the official infantrymen, and the most valuable ones were the general artillery.

These general artillery were already on the verge of being eliminated inside the tiger flag. Only the third war camp on the grassland still retained part of it, but that was only because the number of iron artillery arranged on the grassland was not enough.

After the official army withdrew, Jia Liu did not stay in his camp of war, but came to Liu Heng to report on the capture of the battle with the official army.

After reporting, he continued: "The boss, my subordinates think that although Yang Guozhu suffered a defeat, his strength was not greatly damaged and he would definitely not withdraw. His subordinates are willing to lead the Second Battle Army camp to pursue the fleeing official army."

"No hurry." Liu Heng waved his hand and immediately said, "Send the order to bury the pot and make rice first. When you have enough food, you have the strength to deal with the official army led by Yang Guozhu."

"Yes." Jia Liu responded.

Wang Lin, who was standing beside him, said at this time: "The next battle with the government army will be our fifth battle camp, and I hope that the Jia camp can cooperate more."

Jia Liu glanced at him and said, "The government army has more than 10,000 troops, and you can't afford it, a large camp of war soldiers."

"I know, but the leader will be handed over to our fifth battle camp, and the boss has agreed." Wang Lin said.

Jia Liu thought for a while and said, "Okay, your fifth battle camp will take the lead, and our second battle camp will cooperate with you."

It is said that it is a fight and cooperation, and both of them know that with the strength of the official army, their two combat soldiers will be the main force in dealing with the official army.

The two soldiers and soldiers had their own cooking teams, and the food was ready long ago. As soon as they received the order, they immediately sent the hot food to the soldiers.

After all the soldiers used up their meals, the whistle cavalry brought back the news that the official army had set up camp more than ten miles away.

The army rested for another half an hour before the two camps of warriors set out under Liu Heng's order and marched towards the official army camp.

The whistle cavalry first went to explore the way forward.

Less than three miles away from the official army camp, the two war soldiers camps with the tiger flag stopped.

There is a village ahead, where the Xuanfu soldiers brought by Yang Guozhu were stationed around the village.

The whistle cavalry of the official army and the whistle cavalry of the tiger flag were the first to fight.

The tiger-shaped flag-whistle whistle slings wears breastplate, and the vital parts of the body are protected. The whistle slings on the official army are almost all cotton armor, and the cotton armor on many people is even more ragged.

As soon as the two sides fought, the tiger-shaped flag-shaped whistle cavalry had the advantage. Many official whistle cavalry were hit by cavalry guns and fell off their horses, and only a few whistle cavalry fled back.

The whistle cavalry with the tiger flag chased after him for a while, but did not chase too far. When they approached the official army camp, they turned back.

The sound of muskets broke the calm.

The fleeing official army cavalry found the head general in the camp to report the news of the attack of the tiger flag.

Not long after, Yang Guozhu led a large army to appear in the open space outside the village.

At this time, the soldiers with the tiger flag were less than two miles away from the village where the official army camped.

Liu Heng held up his monocular telescope and said, "Send orders to the artillery team and use guns to bombard the battle formations of the official army. There is no need to save guns, but fight hard."

In this battle, he will completely defeat the imperial army in front of him.

Each cannon of the Tiger Flag was accompanied by a cannon carriage, and the speed of travel was not slow. Soon more than twenty cannons entered the firing position.

As the commander-in-chief of the artillery team, Jose ordered: "All gunners are ready, and the government troops a mile away are targeting, firing!"

As the word "fire" fell, the flag on the side waved.

Boom! Boom... Boom!

A four-pound cannon and a six-pound cannon were fired, and the cannon was smashed into the army of officials a mile away, just like no money.

The general artillery brought by Yang Guozhu from Xuanfu was thrown on the battlefield before. Now he has no cannon. Facing the shelling of the tiger flag, he has no choice but to resist these cannons falling from the sky.

A large army of more than 10,000 is like a living target. With such a large target, the gunner of the tiger flag almost does not aim very much. As long as you find the right direction, it is difficult to miss it.

The cannons fell into the army, and there were blood and flesh flying everywhere. The furrows of blood and flesh were plowed out by the cannons like plowing the ground.

The gunner's speed is not as fast as the fire of the musket. Even if more than 20 cannons are fired continuously, the killing caused by more than 10,000 soldiers is ultimately limited.

However, the tragic situation left by the cannon caused by the killing and injury brought visual impact to the surrounding officials and horses, which made many people unable to withstand, and began to scatter to avoid the shelling.

"Sir, you can't continue like this, otherwise we will be defeated without waiting for the troops of the tiger flag to attack." The deputy general found Yang Guozhu and said anxiously.

Without artillery, the two sides were one mile away, and the official army could only be passively beaten.

Yang Guozhu had a gloomy face and said, "Send the order to let all the generals take their own soldiers and guards to attack the rebels a mile away. When the general saw the big flag with the tiger flag, he was just one mile away, and the bandit leader Liu Heng must be there."
