According to the estimates of the bandits, the two thousand bandits drawn out were enough to block Li Zhi's thousand men. However, this group of bandits did not know the powerful firepower of the Selected Front Regiment.
Li Zhi was riding a horse, standing behind three rows of riflemen, waving his saber and shouting: "Shoot!"
The messenger loudly conveyed the order.
One hundred and fifty meters away from the bandit soldiers, tongues of fire spurted out from the barrel of the gun, and puffs of smoke emerged. Three hundred and eighty rounds of bullets were fired at the two thousand old bandit infantry on the opposite side. The old thieves were like being cut down.
The wheat fell one by one, and more than 300 soldiers were lost in an instant.
The old thieves had never seen such firepower before. They stood there dumbfounded for a few seconds before turning around and running away!
How could Li Zhi let them go and shouted:
"shooting!"
Bullets penetrated the deserters' bodies from their backs, killing these thieves who specialized in destruction on the battlefield.
"shooting!"
After three rounds of rifle fire, nearly a thousand old thieves and infantry were knocked to the ground. The two thousand old thieves who met Li Zhi only had a thousand soldiers and horses left. They were no longer an army, like scattered sand.
He abandoned his armor and fled to the north.
It only took a few minutes for Li Zhi to defeat the 2,000 enemy troops mobilized by the traitors. Zu Kuan could not see the specific situation on Li Zhi's side during the battle, but he also knew that the traitors' flag had just come up to meet Li Zhi.
The flag that was planted collapsed, and the flag fell down.
The thieves mobilized from his side were defeated? So quickly? These elite old thieves killed him so much that he almost lost his life, but they were taken care of by Li Zhi so suddenly.
Is this Li Zhi a divine soldier?
The vanguard battalion continued to press towards the east side of the Liu bandits. The Liu bandits had no choice but to withdraw 5,000 men from the frontal battle and rushed towards Li Zhi with shouts.
These 5,000 men were the rebels inside. They were originally facing Shanhaiguan Deputy General Li Chongzhen’s team, and they were already overwhelming Li Chongzhen. Li Chongzhen led his 3,000 men to fight and retreat, and had already retreated two miles.
Three hundred meters. If Li Zhongzhen retreats again, the entire eastern front will be penetrated by the bandits.
Li Chongzhen was secretly worried and shouted loudly for the soldiers to rush forward and resist.
If the bandits break through the battle line from him and cause the entire battle situation to collapse, the Prime Minister will never forgive him lightly. But the bandits' fighting power is really good, and Li Chongzhen feels that he can't withstand it for much longer.
Then Li Zhi's reinforcements came. After a while, the five thousand people in front of him were taken away. As soon as they were suddenly taken out, Li Chongzhen immediately turned the danger into safety, and there was no enemy in front. Li Chongzhen looked at Li Zhi gratefully.
He glanced at the flag, shouted to kill and rushed forward. He led his troops to press forward a few hundred meters, cut off the east wing of the bandit, and surrounded the remaining troops on the east wing of the bandit.
Lu Xiangsheng was fighting in the center of the battlefield and could not clearly see the battle situation on the east side. But he clearly felt that the enemy's east wing was weakened after Li Zhi arrived. He was overjoyed, changed his tactics, and led the standard army to press to the east, striving to capture the east side.
The thieves on the side were crushed.
Although Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng mobilized 5,000 people from across from Li Zhongzhen to fight against Li Zhi, these 5,000 exhausted bandits were no match for the musketeers of the Selected Front Regiment. These bandits were already very tired and started running.
If they can't run fast, how can they break through the two hundred meters forbidden area of death in front of the front selection camp? What's more, the morale of these five thousand old thieves has dropped to the limit just like the officers and soldiers, and they will collapse under the slightest heavy blow.
"shooting!"
From a distance of two hundred meters, 380 rounds of bullets spewed out from the flames, shooting at the old thieves who had committed many evil deeds, mercilessly piercing their bodies and ending their fragile lives.
.
After the sound of gunfire, the three hundred old thieves fell to the battlefield one by one and could not get up again.
"shooting!"
With the sound of a gunshot, an old thief was hit in the left eye, a column of blood suddenly spurted out from the eye, and the old thief lost his life.
An old thief was hit in the right abdomen while running, and the Mini bullet rotated and tore his skin. Because the force was uneven when it penetrated the body, the bullet rotated irregularly in his right abdomen, shattering the pieces.
His right kidney and intestines turned these fragile organs into a ball of flesh. Within five seconds of being shot, he fell down vomiting blood.
At a distance of 170 meters, another 380 rounds of Mini rifles were fired. It was like a massacre, and the 320 old thieves fell to the ground. The old thieves no longer dared to run at full speed, they were trembling.
He slowed down his pace, hoping that other soldiers would rush in front of him and block the bullets for him.
But everyone thought so, and in the end everyone slowed down.
"shooting!"
One hundred and fifty meters away, the vanguard group opened fire again.
Jiang Chong, who was already considered a veteran, aimed at an old thief leader and calmly pressed the trigger. He only heard a crisp gunshot, and sparks and smoke emitted from the muzzle and bolt of the Mini rifle at the same time. The old thief leader in front
He clutched his right chest in pain, vomited blood and fell down.
Jiang Chong subconsciously touched the beard residue on his chin, feeling a little proud.
After three rounds of fighting, nearly a thousand thieves fell on the ground. The remaining four thousand thieves were defeated. No longer able to continue fighting, they left the battlefield howling and fled to the north.
In the process of escaping, the old thieves had to withstand the firepower of the selection team, and more than 600 people were knocked down.
The vanguard selection group dealt with another group of enemies and pressed towards the east side of the bandits.
Zu Kuan had just escaped from the siege of the bandits and returned to his large army. He mounted his horse and looked around at the situation on the battlefield.
Zu Kuan's troops were on the easternmost wing of the line, and he saw the vanguard group coming from the east.
To the northwest of the Selection Regiment, out of the five thousand old thieves who were attacking Li Zhi, for some reason only more than three thousand were left. The corpses were thrown to the ground, and they were fleeing further north in panic, abandoning their helmets and armor.
Zhi's soldiers and horses were bathed in a thick black smoke, and they were striding towards the remaining soldiers and horses on the east wing of the bandits.
In just one cup of tea, Tianjin's soldiers and horses killed more than a thousand bandits and defeated five thousand bandits? What is the concept of this?
Zu Kuan had been fighting in the north and south for decades, but he had never encountered such fierce soldiers and horses.
He was horrified, secretly thinking that if he won this battle, Li Zhi would be the first to win!
Li Zhongzhen was suppressing the remaining troops on the east wing of the bandits when he suddenly saw that the 5,000 troops who had turned to fight against Li Zhi were defeated. The flags of the 5,000 men were still held high, and they were heading east to greet them.
, but it only took a cup of tea for all the flags to fall. Looking at the fallen flags, Li Chongzhen knew that these soldiers and horses had been defeated.
Li Chongzhen was very shocked. You must know that he was a deputy general, and he was overwhelmed by these five thousand soldiers and horses just now. Li Zhi's defensive force was able to defeat these five thousand people in a short time.
How brave do you have to be to do this? Even Grandpa Qi's Qi family army may not have such combat effectiveness. Are Tianjin's troops and horses descended from the earth like magic soldiers?
Li Chongzhen stood on the battlefield and looked at the flag of the selection camp, a little dazed.
