Chapter 211: A fierce general? That's even more damnable!

Outside Li County, a cavalryman came on horseback, dismounted, half-knelt on the ground and clasped his hands, saying, "Sir Ou, the enemy's infantry and cavalry are coming out of the north gate, and the cavalry has already engaged our cavalry!"

After hearing this, Ou Zanghua showed some surprise on his face.

Why do I feel that these bandits are so unprofessional?

Or is it that the bandits in the north are accustomed to guerrilla tactics, while the bandits in the south like to occupy the mountains and act as kings?

Looking at the city gate that had been blown open, he immediately gave the order: "Pass the order down, enter the city!"

"Yes!"

Le Hou responded and passed on Ou Zanghua's order.

Under the command of Zhao Changliang and Jia Xing, a row of soldiers holding shields marched into the city gate. Behind them were musketeers in the first row and spearmen in the last row.

Under the cover of the shieldmen, the musketeers entered the city and began to sweep away the remaining bandit troops in the city.

Amid the sound of iron guns, even if some bandits were lucky enough to rush forward, they would be stabbed to death by the spearmen.

The musketeers fired three rounds of shots continuously, pouring firepower on the enemy army, causing heavy casualties among the enemy and weakening their combat effectiveness and combat awareness.

The cooperation between shieldmen and spearmen can ensure the stability of the team's formation and prevent it from being dispersed by the enemy. It can also provide cover for the musketeers, allowing them to shoot more safely.

The three arms cooperated with each other, and it was easy to deal with these unorganized bandits. The musketeers didn't need to aim at all. After firing a shot forward, they squatted down and began to reload. The second row of musketeers behind them took a step forward and fired another round of volleys forward.

At the same time, when Niu Zhong ran out of the north gate with the infantry battalion, he saw that Liu Qi's troops were at a disadvantage in the cavalry duel with Zuo Lengchan's troops. He got hot-headed and wanted to rush up to help his second brother.

Then he led a group of brothers and rushed forward without any plan. When they were halfway there, they heard a crackling sound and the brothers behind him fell down one after another.

Niu Zhong was startled, and before he could react, he heard his deputy general yell, "Raise your shields!"

Everyone reacted and immediately raised their shields to block.

There was another crackling sound, and this time fewer bandits fell, as most of the bullets were blocked by shields.

Niu Zhong turned his head and saw that there was a group of imperial soldiers behind their team, pointing their guns at them.

"Where did these soldiers come from?" Niu Zhong asked with his eyes wide open, looking confused.

"Chief, they came through the county."

A bandit soldier came over and explained, "Not long after we left, the south gate was blown open. Some soldiers began to enter the city, and when they found out that our people had moved to the north gate, they chased after us!"

"What the hell?"

Niu Zhong was a little confused: "What about our brothers in the city?"

"The cavalry followed the second leader out. After the infantry battalion assembled, most of them left the city, and a small part stayed in the city." The bandit soldier lowered his head and said, "They were probably captured by the imperial officers and soldiers."

While the two were talking, the imperial infantry formation was arranged again, and after three rows of musketeers stood still, they opened fire again.

With a loud "bang", many unlucky members of the bandit army were hit and fell to the ground wailing in pain.

When Niu Zhong saw this, he immediately shouted, "What are you still defending? Go over and kill them!"

As he spoke, he raised his shield in one hand and his Panlong stick in the other, and rushed forward facing the iron gun bullets.

Under his reckless operation, a large number of brave but reckless bandits also rushed forward with shields under the hail of bullets.

Zhao Changliang and Jia Xing were shocked when they saw this scene. They did not expect that after three rounds of shooting, a large number of the enemy soldiers fell down. Not only did it not break their morale, but it aroused their resistance.

"Die!" After getting closer, Niu Zhong swung the Panlong stick in his hand. The stick made of mixed iron tore through the air, making a low whistling sound. The three shield bearers blocking in front of him were simply unable to resist, and were thrown away by the blow along with their shields.

"Hah--" Niu Zhong strode over the corpses on the ground and swung the iron stick several times, killing and injuring more than a dozen people. He relied on his brute force to kill people in the army.

But there were too many people around, including court officers and his own brothers. Niu Zhong didn't know who was who. He only knew how to swing his weapon and fight hard.

Suddenly, he felt that the situation in front of him became clear and he had actually killed his way through the enemy camp.

Thinking of the fierce battle that had just taken place in the battle, Niu Zhong, no matter how confident he was in his martial arts skills and immense strength, still felt a lingering fear.

He looked back, the whole battlefield was like a pot of boiling water, rolling and boiling. And looking at himself again, he had only one gunshot wound and two arrow wounds on his chest from all the fighting along the way.

Niu Zhong knew that if he hadn't been protected by his fine armor, no matter how good his skills were, he would not be able to get away with it in this battle. Looking behind him, there were still thirty or twenty people left following him, and Niu Zhong felt a pain in his heart.

These brothers who were drinking and eating meat with us last night are buried here today. It really shows how unpredictable things are.

Ling Xiao stood beside Ou Zanghua, watching Niu Zhong being able to kill through the army array formed by the imperial court soldiers, and said in amazement: "He is born with supernatural powers! He is a fierce general in foot combat. The ancient evil is no more than this!"

Ou Zanghua looked at Ling Xiao speechlessly, is there something wrong with your brain?

Do you want to see whose subordinates were killed?

"Bring me the bow!" Ou Zanghua stretched out his hand, and Deng Bagong immediately handed him a northern hard bow and a quiver full of heavy arrows.

The six arts of a gentleman are etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and numeracy.

He has dabbled in all of them, but he's just not an expert at them.

I didn't have time before, then there was no need, now
Ou Zanghua directly spent five points to improve his archery to the tenth level of mastery.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in my mind, demonstrating various fancy archery postures in the sunset. There seemed to be a background music "I have seen it in a dream"

After a moment, Ou Zanghua used his internal strength, drew his bow and arrow, and aimed at the cattle.

With a dull "bang" sound, the bowstring vibrated, and the arrow whizzed out, shooting towards the cattle with a fierce attack.

Then, this guy happened to have good luck. At the critical moment, a bandit soldier suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked the arrow that was sure to hit him.

With tremendous force, the heavy arrow directly pierced through the body of the bandit soldier.

Niu Zhong was startled and turned around to see Ou Zanghua standing on the city wall.

"You despicable villain, you actually hid on the city wall and shot arrows from the dark!" Niu Zhong roared, picked up the spear beside him, and swung it towards the city wall.

With a "crack!", the spear pierced directly into the pillar next to Ou Zanghua, scaring both Ling Xiao and Deng Baguo. If it had moved a few more inches, it would have pierced Lord Ou.

But Ou Zanghua's expression did not change at all. He drew his bow and arrow again, aiming at the cattle.

The arrow flew out like a galactic meteor, and the tail wings drew a beautiful trajectory in the air. This time no one helped Niu Zhong to block it. The arrow pierced through his armor and a piece of it pierced into his abdomen.

"Hah!" Niu Zhong was furious, his arm muscles bulged, and he swung the Panlong Stick directly up.

"Lord Ou, be careful!" Deng Bagong was startled and drew his sword to block, but was knocked back two steps by the Panlong Stick.

His expression changed. Why did this man have so much strength? !

Ou Zanghua still looked calm as he pulled out the third heavy arrow.

The arrow flew out like a streak of silver lightning, instantly piercing the throat of the bull.
