"Report!"

After waiting for more than half an hour, a flying horse came.

"General, the 20,000 ant thieves have arrived five miles east of the city and within twenty miles behind, no enemy has been found."

The scouts under the scout camp entered the city on flying horses, came to Zhu Yunfei, and bowed their hands in greeting.

"Let's explore again." Zhu Yunfei waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "Li Hu, you lead a thousand cavalry and go to the south gate immediately. Hu Dawei, you lead a thousand cavalry to the west gate."

"When the battle begins, each of you will lead two wings of your army to attack, forcing the ant thieves to be unable to look at each other."

"General, I will obey your orders!" Li Hu, Hu Dawei said with his hands raised.

"Cao Ming, here's the order for the Chinese army, one thousand armored cavalry, under your command, to line up outside the city and charge into battle."

"Gao Jie, take your soldiers and follow me into battle!"

Zhu Yunfei climbed on the snow-trodden horse, raised the Mo Dao in his hand, and shouted: "The Ming army is mighty!"

On the long street inside the city gate, the cavalry soldiers who were ready to go drew out their bright light swords from their waists and shouted in unison.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

…

There were less than 400 infantrymen and generals under Gao Jie's tent. They were all greatly encouraged when they saw the cavalry battalion's high morale and high fighting spirit.

"A true man, this is what you should do." Young Li Benzhen looked at the majestic Zhu Yunfei with a burning light in his eyes.

Generals Li Chengdong, Hu Maozhen, and Yan Keyi also looked excited and dazzled.

Even Gao Jie, a veteran general, looked excited and his eyes were gleaming.

He had fought countless battles, and every time he started a battle, Gao Jie was not confident that he would win the battle.

But this time, he firmly believed that as long as the enemy dared to come, he would definitely be defeated but not victorious.

The afternoon sun shone directly on a row of Ming Army cavalry soldiers.

Refracted with dazzling cold light, Zhu Yunfei rode his horse on the open battlefield and stood under the red flag of the sun and moon.

He glanced sharply across the battlefield, looking at the densely packed ant thieves and troops. He slowly raised the Mo Dao in his hand.

"Blow the drums! Blow the trumpets!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

On the plain terrain with a small slope of about 40 degrees, the heavy cavalry led by Cao Ming were lined up.

As the loud war drums and horns sounded, Cao Ming, in front of the military formation, raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Cavalry Assault!"

A thousand armored cavalry armed to the teeth, each armed with long black iron spears, rushed out like an overwhelming force under the galloping horses.

Five hundred steps away, Luo Rucai, the deputy general in front of the ant bandit army's formation, had a dark face that showed little surprise.

With an expression in his eyes, he raised the sword in his hand and shouted.

"Advance the chariot and fire my cannon."

That's right, following Luo Rucai's order, the tanks carrying artillery hidden among the Chinese army were pushed to the front of the military formation.

Hundreds of tanks suddenly revealed their ferocious faces, and rows of tanks were equipped with jet-black artillery.

"Fire the cannon, fire the cannon, kill these stupid bastards!"

Luo Rucai, who was in the military formation, had a sinister smile on his face.

A total of seven hundred chariots lined up in a row, and then spit out projectiles with black smoke.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

…

Projectiles like raindrops crossed the sky and landed on the battlefield.

In an instant, the ground shook, the mountains shook, and people fell back on their horses.

Although the heavy cavalry is the trump card of the cold weapon battlefield, the combat effectiveness that the cavalry can exert in the face of artillery fire is greatly reduced.

"This, this is the train camp chariot commanded by that bastard Bai Guangen. Did that damn bastard surrender to the ant thieves?"

Gao Jie, who was holding a spear and riding a horse next to Zhu Yunfei, saw the chariot being pushed out of the ant bandit army, and his expression suddenly changed.

Zhu Yunfei's expression also changed slightly, his eyes instantly became sharp, he pulled the reins of his horse, raised his Mo Dao high and roared.

"Spread out the formation and attack in a skirmishing formation. Kill!~"

Cao Ming, who was at the forefront, led the heavy cavalry. Under the bombardment of the ant thieves' artillery fire, at least a hundred people fell in one encounter.

However, at this time, the charging soldiers did not think much and could only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.

Because once the charge of the heavy cavalry is formed, it cannot be stopped at all and can only move forward desperately.

Until the enemy in front of him is completely crushed.

At this time, Zhu Yunfei led the Chinese army's light cavalry and suddenly charged out. It was not because he was stubborn, but because he understood the principle of making great efforts in one go and then exhausting them in three attempts.

The rows of chariots launched by the ant bandit army, although they look intimidating, are obviously not very powerful.

The reason is very simple, the artillery on those tanks are not Hongyi cannons.

Instead, they are some mortars, and some are even improved rocket guns. Such artillery is indeed powerful, but its power can only be said to be average.

You must know that there are hundreds of tanks. If the Hongyi cannons are lined up in a row, once fired, they can fill up a city.

But although the first round of shooting was astonishing, Zhu Yunfei could clearly see that Cao Ming's military flag was still there, and the number of dead or injured soldiers would never exceed 200.

On such a short-range battlefield, those bluffing tanks can fire at most two rounds of artillery fire.

They will be killed by the cavalry in front of the Taoist army, and then those ant thieves will be left to be slaughtered.

The facts are exactly as Zhu Yunfei judged, these chariots brought by Sun Chuanting from Guanzhong.

It was commanded by Bai Guangen, the commander-in-chief of the rear army, and was called the Train Battalion.

This kind of chariot was loaded with various firearms and artillery, and soldiers' clothes, food, and ammunition were stored in the carriage. Sun Chuanting named it a train.

Therefore, this army is called the train battalion.

The train battalion led by former Bai Guangen was defeated by Li Zicheng's troops in Jiaxian County.

Luo Rucai captured 700 chariots and equipped them in his army.

Because the chariots were pulled by horse-drawn carriages and covered with waterproof leather, Cao Gui's scout battalion thought they were carriages and horses escorting grain and grass, so they did not report the situation.

The greatest use of this chariot is not for offense, but for defense.

Luo Rucai captured 700 tanks and 2,000 captured Ming soldiers, and was responsible for using these tanks.

As a rebel leader, Luo Rucai, who was once equal to Li Zicheng, was obviously not a fool.

Since the fifth camp of Gezuo, the first leader, Lao Hui, returned to Ma Shouying and handed over his military power. He and General Quan Tian Jianxiu stayed behind at the Xiangjing base camp.

He Yilong and Lin Cheng were born successively, and were squeezed out by Li Zicheng.

Although Luo Rucai and He Jin were given high positions as generals, their troops became cannon fodder for the vanguard.

In every battle, the troops they led were the first to fight. After the battle, they received additional rewards, but they were not as good as the main force of the new fifth battalion under Li Zicheng.

This made Luo Rucai vaguely realize that Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, was afraid of killing people like them.

For this reason, he and He Jin have been keeping their tail between their legs for the past year.

Luo Rucai, who was in the military formation at this moment, soon saw an incredible scene.

The heavily-armed cavalry of the Ming army rushed forward without fear of death.

On the rear military formation, the Ming army's battle flag was also moving quickly towards the battlefield.

A group of three hundred armored cavalry swept towards his central army like a whirlwind.

"Kill the thief!"

That's right, Luo Ru just saw three hundred armored cavalry, which were the personal guards led by Zhu Yunfei.

Zhu Yunfei, who was galloping on his horse, slashed out with his Mo Dao as he approached the enemy's formation.

After sitting down, the snow-trodden war horse jumped up, jumped directly over the chariot in front of him, and fell into the queue of ant thieves.

The Mo Dao slashed down in the air and turned into a half-moon cold light that swept across the enemy soldiers.

"puff!"

"Bang!"

"Well!"
