With a round of muskets, the bandits rushing in front suddenly fell down a large area. For a moment, the scene was filled with the smell of gunfire after the muskets were fired. Accompanied by these gunfire, there were roars and screams. Many bandits who were shot were wailing on the ground. They wanted to attack the Sichuan Army and attack the Sichuan Army off guard, but they did not expect that the Sichuan Army would wait here early in the morning, and caught themselves off guard anyway.

"Rare the arrow and rush for me. There are only a few hundred of them, and they can't ride horses. There are so many of us, even one person drowned them with one spit." Seeing that the attack was blocked, Lao Huihui was shocked. He could not imagine something wrong, but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Although the Sichuan Army had prepared for a long time, these did not have the determination to hinder the attack.

Where did something go wrong?

Lao Huihui couldn't figure it out, but now he had no time to think about it. Feilai Peak has cliffs on three sides, and only the east side is up and down. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. On the other hand, it is easy to surround. The Sichuan Army on Feilai Peak has only a few hundred people, and the advantage of the cavalry was weakened by the mountain. This opportunity is extremely rare. If you say that you are unwilling to give up, you will fight it down if you have anything to do.

"Hurry, be careful, musketeer, archer, hold me back." Lao Huihui pulled out the knife and shouted loudly: "This battle is not allowed to be defeated, and those who dare to escape in the battle will be killed without any consequences."

The subordinates were so scared that they were at a loss, but Lao Huihui roared and quickly calmed down the morale of the army. They all fell on the ground and began to fight back with bows and arrows and muskets. The battle situation suddenly became fierce.

Just when Lao Huihui was surprised that the Sichuan Army seemed to be ambushing here before he knew, Lu Haoshan wiped his sweat secretly and shouted luck in his heart. Unexpectedly, Lao Huihui was so cunning, he used the armor of the official army to deceive his scouts and sentries, and quietly approached his camp. If he found out that he would wait for them to rush into the camp later, he would regret it. Fortunately, there was a Tang Qiang beside him who had been ruthless from the sound of footsteps.

It is even rare to have an old man in the family, like a treasure, and a veteran who has been through the battlefield around him for a long time.

Lu Haoshan was glad that in addition to his well-trained subordinates completing the defense preparation with the minimum movement and static in the shortest time and testing the results of daily training, this was related to his caution and some inconvenience. Lu Haoshan still chose to camp at Feilai Peak, which was on the verge of the terrain. Although he was on high alert, he still did a lot of fortifications and built several levels. This was not because Lu Haoshan was afraid of death, but because he had too few subordinates and could no longer withstand the tossing. This was because of this caution that he would not be at a loss now.

"Sir, the thief has fired an arrow." Zhao Gongchang walked to Lu Haoshan and said with a heavy expression.

Lu Haoshan said calmly: "Normal. Lao Huihui has only brought more than a thousand people to come this time. It is a fool to want to eat us. Judging from the quality of those people and so many muskets to fight back, Lao Huihui, who was just annihilated by us, must have not recovered his vitality so quickly. It is estimated that like dealing with the unlucky guy Dong Jian, they will join forces to attack. If they guess well, most of them will follow behind secretly and then they will come."

He was calm on the surface, but Lu Haoshan was secretly grateful in his heart. Although he was surrounded like Dong Jian, there were three differences. First, his soldiers were well trained and Dong Jian's soldiers were proud and complacent; second, he was prepared in advance, and Dong Jian was rushed to fight because he was killed by thieves. Third, when he was surrounded, Dong Jian's people were surrounded by mountains, like turtles, and he was on the top of the mountain and had the advantage of geographical advantage.

Although there were only 700 people, there were more than 500 muskets available under his command, and each of them was equipped with strong bows and artillery. Lu Haoshan was confident that he would let these people die as much as they came. Besides, he sent the pigeons and scouts out in advance, and reinforcements arrived soon.

"Bang bang...bang bang bang..."

"Swoosh..."

"Brothers, call me."

"Kill me, kill one person and get ten taels of silver. Those who catch Lu Wenhua will receive ten taels of silver."

In the dark night, the two armies caught fire. In order to annihilate Lu Haoshan, Ma Huihui and others tried their best to take out their family assets. Not only did they send out their elite troops, but they also pieced together more than 200 muskets. In the dark night, Lu Haoshan's subordinates caught fire. The smoke filled the air and the scene was extremely lively.

Zhao Gong often said with a little blame: "Sir, these are the villain's faults. Please punish them."

On weekdays, Zhao Gong is often responsible for intelligence work, including vigilance. If it weren't for Tang Qiang, it would have almost caused a disaster. In guilt, Zhao Gong often took the initiative to ask for punishment.

"What's the matter after this battle?" Lu Haoshan waved his hand and said, "Give me a stool, I want to see how this old Huihui broke through the three lines of defense composed of hundreds of muskets."

"Yes, sir."

Lu Haoshan does have proud capital. Although he has few subordinates, he is all elite. He is very good at food and accommodation and feeds a lot of gunpowder. The terrain is dangerous and there are plenty of food and grass. There are many teams of officers and soldiers around him. It won’t take long to come to pick him up. If it is flat, it is a little scared, but if it has the advantage of the terrain, it is really not afraid.

While speaking, the battle situation was still stalemate. Muskets were fired, sharp arrows broke through the air, and screams were still endless. Lu Haoshan, however, took Qianlimu with a calm face and watched the battlefield. In Qianlimu, a rebel army in cotton armor was not right. It was a mob. He carefully exposed his head and did not aim much. He aimed at the position above and was about to open fire. Before the fuse was finished, an iron ball broke through the air and hit his right arm. The mob was knocked to the ground and struggled in pain. The burning musket fell to the ground and hit the thigh of the accomplices beside him with a "bang".

There was another wailing sound on the battlefield.

As the fire of the musket and the bow and arrows was shot, the quality of both sides was immediately revealed. Lao Huihui's subordinates screamed and fell down one by one. The corpses at the foot of the mountain were piled up, while Wen Chongjun only injured a few, and the casualties were huge.

If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat more grass. In order to train troops, Lu Haoshan can be said to invest at any cost, such as arrows, ammunition is released, and gunpowder is "feeded" with piles of arrows and barrels of gunpowder, in order to improve its accuracy. The speed of gunpowder consumption is that Tang Qiang and Zhao Gongchang, who are knowledgeable, both felt pain, so their accuracy is not bad. Archery is a must-have item for the Wenchong Qianhu Institute. If this performance is performed on the battlefield, it can be said that they have accumulated strength.

This is even the most elite subordinates of Lao Huihui and others are beyond the reach of the world. They are originally mobs, with poor organization and discipline. Most of them are ordinary people with only brute force. They hide from each other and care about how to survive all day long. They have no thoughts on training. These gaps cannot be made up by hard work.

In the narrow terrain, he could not exert his number advantage. Lao Hui looked at the officers and soldiers who kept firing guns and arrows on the mountain, and was both jealous and resentful. Unexpectedly, Lu Haoshan's men rode on horses and were unstoppable, and even if they were dismounted and became infantry, it was so difficult to deal with.

"Captain Ma, the firepower of the government army is too strong, brothers can't stop it." A big man with a beard crawled over and said with a worried look on his face.

Lao Huihui recognized that this man was Zhao Desheng, the subordinate of Mantianxing.

In fact, not only Zhao Desheng was worried, but Lao Huihui was also very burdened. He failed to attack and was violently counterattacked by the officers and soldiers. Lao Huihui organized several charges and was beaten back, which damaged many people. The front positions were all of their own bodies.

"Yes, this is a hard bone." Lao Huihui sighed.

Zhao Desheng whispered: "Captain Ma, it's hard for us to rush up. It's better to retreat. Keep the green mountains there, and don't be afraid of burning firewood."

"No," Lao Huihui flatly refused, "The more difficult it is to attack, the more we have to take him down. It is too dangerous for such an enemy to stay here."

After saying that, Lao Huihui added: "Without the war horses, these people are like breaking a hand. If they don't destroy them now, it will be even more difficult in the future."

"But, the brothers' casualties are too great. If this continues, leader Ma, you have to think of a way, or the brothers will be exhausted." Zhao Desheng said with a worried look on his face.

Lao Huihui had already thought about this problem and adjusted his mindset. Hearing the words, he nodded and said, "The most important thing for officers and soldiers is muskets and bows. These two things make the brothers unable to rush up. If you ask for some wooden boards to make shields, you can cut down some trees and tie them together. As long as you get close, we will fight with them. Anyway, there are many people, so you are not afraid."

The sneak attack failed, Lao Huihui also put his mind on the right side and regarded this battle as a tough battle. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
