The cavalry of the Shun army broke through the barrier of Wang Shuo's army, and seeing that the large camp was rushed into chaos by the cavalry of the Shun army, the long shield men organized again, with the cavalry of the Shun army as the center, forming a semicircular formation.Under the stern reprimand of the officer, the shieldmen squeezed the center in rows regardless of life and death, and the loss of one batch was immediately replenished by the previous batch, gradually making it impossible for the horses of the Shun cavalry to run, and the two sides formed a melee.In the camp of the Shun army, Lu Wenbin saw that the cavalry broke through Wang Shuo's barrier with a single charge, and he couldn't help but feel secretly proud, Wang Shuo was really vulnerable.He ordered the drums to beat, urging the previous 5,000 foot soldiers to quickly join the warband.The war drums in the camp of the Shun army became more and more intense, and the trumpets continued to sound.The 5,000 Shun troops on the side of the road recombined into a large formation and rushed towards the barrier.Wang Shuo watched the Shun army step on the dusty sky and gradually approach his camp, ordered the stone thrower to start, and at the same time ordered the three thousand reserves in ambush in the city to go out of the city and encircle and annihilate the Dashun cavalry that had all rushed into the barrier.The cavalry was too powerful.Originally, I thought that it would not be a problem to use the 5,000 infantry outside the city to destroy the enemy's 2,000 cavalry.Now nearly half of the 5,000 infantry were killed and wounded, and the enemy's cavalry still maintained its combat effectiveness.With the sound of squeaking, smoking clay pots flew out of the camp and landed in the front row of the Shun army's foot soldiers.The clay pot exploded one after another about one person high, and the huge flames instantly formed a wall of fire, blocking the Shun army foot soldiers at the same time, the scattered pieces of iron in the clay pot flew wildly, and the Shun army in front of the explosion fell down, and the ghost cried wolf.Lu Yinchang, who was in the Chinese army array, looked at the sea of fire in front of the barrier, and looked at the fallen soldiers of Shun, and he couldn't help but be surprised.The power of this gunpowder has not only doubled, and he began to believe in Wang Shuo's gunpowder improvement technology, and he was eager to learn this new method of making gunpowder from him.The 3,000 soldiers in the city also fought out of the city and joined the battle group that surrounded and annihilated the cavalry of the Shun army, and finally trapped the cavalry of the Shun army who broke into Wang Shuo's camp and could not move.The spearmen continued to stab their spears from behind the shields, stabbing the cavalry off their horses one by one, and the encirclement was gradually shrinking.Lu Wenbin finally understood how Wang Shuo's stone thrower was used, and it was the first time he saw that the stones thrown by the stone thrower would bloom, and he almost couldn't believe what he saw, the scene in front of him was really seeing his cavalry struggling desperately in the opponent's camp, becoming fewer and fewer, and the infantry phalanx was blocked out of the camp by the sea of fire, unable to move forward.This situation was beyond his expectations, and he couldn't think of any way to crack it for a while.The clay pots thrown by the stone throwers always exploded in the front row of the Shun army, and the Shun army suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat.The clay pot followed the retreat of the Shun army until it pushed the Shun army out of range of the catapult.Wang Shuo's purpose was to block the Shun army's foot soldiers with a stone thrower until he eliminated the Shun army's cavalry.He didn't use clay pot bombs to fight the cavalry, but he still wanted to get more intact horses.His goal was achieved, and until the Shun cavalry was wiped out, the catapult's shells were still sufficient, and the Shun infantry still couldn't get beyond the range of the clay pot bombs.After the cavalry of the Shun army was completely wiped out, Wang Shuo ordered the whole army to leave the camp and attack the Shun army.Wang Shuo's infantry wiped out the cavalry of the Shun army, and the morale was greatly boosted.The first to rush out of the camp was the 800 cavalry, chasing the remnants of the Shun army who had turned into a rout, and slashing wildly.The foot soldiers no longer formed a phalanx to attack, but followed behind the cavalry, directly from the barrier all over the mountains and fields, shouting loudly, bravely chasing and killing the fleeing enemy, and the momentum of the charge resounded throughout the sky of Zhangxian County.Lu Wenbin really didn't expect that he would lose so badly, and he didn't even fully understand how he lost.How could the stone thrower in Wang Shuo's army be so powerful, in less than half an hour, it blew up 5,000 soldiers and collapsed the army, and the huge explosion sound shocked the courage of every soldier.Most of the soldiers were not so much blown back, but frightened back by the huge explosion, and one by one panicked and completely lost the will to resist.This is like a war horse on the battlefield for the first time, which has never heard the sound of guns, and the first time you hear it, it is easy to be frightened.In fact, what people are most afraid of is what they don't know and haven't seen.The reason why people are afraid of ghosts is because they have never seen what ghosts are like and what methods are there to deal with, so they are afraid.It was also the first time Shun Bing had heard and seen such a powerful explosion, and he didn't know what it was, so it was not much different from seeing a ghost.In this huge explosion, the Shun army soon broke down and began to desperately flee for their lives.After all, Lu Wenbin was a general, and he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and immediately ordered the three thousand soldiers around him to line up in a long snake formation, and fired arrows and arrows at the cavalry of Wang Shuo's army who rushed in a hurry.Wang Shuo saw his cavalry fall off his horse one after another, he was distressed, what he lacked most was cavalry, he couldn't imagine that Lu Wenbin would ignore the life and death of his soldiers, and use this method to forcibly separate the two armies, he hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops to avoid too many cavalry being killed and injured by the enemy.Lu Wenbin took advantage of the retreat of Wang Shuo's army, and finally gathered the defeated troops and returned to his large formation, re-arranging.In this battle, Lu Wenbin lost 3,000 men, and the cavalry was completely wiped out.Wang Shuo also lost a considerable number of soldiers, and the strength of the two sides was still equal
