Chapter 25: The Elite of the Rogue is Out

Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting saw that Qi Jiajun was a little struggling, so they hurriedly ordered the artillery fire of their two phalanxes and began to cooperate with Qi Jiguang to bombard each other in turn.

The muzzles of the rows of flintlock muskets were also aimed at these cavalrymen at the same time. As soon as they broke through the artillery fire, the flintlock muskets began to fire.

Zhu Youzhen stood at the head of the city, and when he saw the old battalion soldiers of the Liukou so fierce, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious of history.

The army of the Rogues is definitely not as vulnerable as described in history, how can Dorgon easily defeat such an army, there must be something wrong with the Rogues.

In fact, after the Liukou entered the Beijing Division, they did everything to eat, drink, burn, kill, rob and have fun, they thought that they could put Nanshan on the horse and put the knives and guns into the warehouse.

Li Zi had no ambition to unify the whole country, and the territory of several provinces was enough for him, and after the goal was achieved, the rogues became the masters.

They are all starting to enjoy, who is willing to fight hard, no one wants to fall into the darkness before dawn, coupled with the ravages of the plague, this should be the reason why the elite of the rogue have lost their combat effectiveness.

Rogue Barracks

At this time, Li Zicheng sat in the tent of the Chinese army camp with confidence, if he said that he was exhausted, he would not be able to take the Beijing Division, and he would not believe it if he was killed.

"Report to Your Majesty, Minggou's artillery fire is very fierce, our army has suffered heavy casualties, after losing tens of thousands of horses, General Hao Shaoqi and General Yuan Zongdi's two armies are about to engage with Minggou in short arms."

Suddenly, the Chinese army came to report that the two armies would soon be close to each other, Li Zicheng slapped the table violently, got up and ordered:

"Order, all the elite infantry and cavalry to attack, and at the same time send a signal for the inner city to start moving."

"Obedience"

A ringing arrow shot into the air, sending an attack signal to the Jingshi, and the 100,000 elite infantry cavalry of Liukou dispatched.

At this time, Yuan Zong's cavalry attacked from both flanks, and was also attacked by Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting.

"Bang Bang ......"

Bursts of flintlock pistols made loud bangs, and in front of the old battalion soldiers, a barrier of bullets and bullets was built.

In the face of the rapid fire of the Ming army, although the Liukou cavalry was fast, they were still unable to break through the defense line of the Ming army.

Zhu Youzhen held a telescope in his hand and constantly observed the movements of the Liukou camp, as for the hundreds of thousands of horses under Hao Shaoqi in the city, he believed that Qi Jiguang and others could deal with it.

Suddenly, in his lens, there was an army of rogues all over the mountains again, and judging from their equipment, it was definitely the elite of the rogues who had been dispatched.

"Huang Ming, the artillery is ready, the rogue has taken out his hole cards and beaten me hard."

"Obedience"

Huang Ming agreed, and waved the command flag in his hand:

"All ready."

"Open the gun"

"Boom"

As soon as the Liukou elite entered the firing range, the red-clothed artillery army began to roar, no matter how strong the elite you are, but you are also a human being, under the cover of huge artillery fire, you can't avoid casualties.

It's just that the speed of the elite is faster, and even with the artillery fire exploding around them, their formation is not chaotic, and they still advance quickly.

Li Zicheng fought all the way to the city of Jingshi, and the Ming army either surrendered or fled, which also made Li Zicheng swell, and he didn't take Jingshi in his eyes at all.

Attacking the Beijing division is a death order, as long as you dare to retreat, you will be killed, Li Guo commanded 150,000 elite infantry cavalry to brave the fierce artillery fire.

In the time of half a pillar of incense, the artillery bombardment of the Ming army caused a large number of casualties among the elite of the Liukou, but the elite of the Liukou had already broken through the artillery bombardment on the head of the city.

The old battalion soldiers in front of them were gradually unable to resist in the face of fierce guns, and were repelled by tiger squat cannons and flintlock guns.

The elite of the rogues, who had a neat lineup, were suddenly disrupted by their own old battalion soldiers, Hao Shaoqi, Tian Zaixiu and the supervising team killed dozens of people one after another, and the old battalion soldiers gradually stabilized their positions.

Now was the best time for shelling, but all the artillery was too hot because of the intensive shelling, and it could no longer be used for a short time.

In fact, this is also due to Zhu Youzhen's lack of combat experience, and he wants to exchange for new artillery, because the old artillery occupies the fort, and it is too late.

As soon as the shelling stopped, the old battalion soldiers and elite troops launched a tidal charge.

Fortunately, there were no problems with the artillery of the three phalanxes, and the tiger squat artillery continued to bombard the Liukou, although the Liukou fell in pieces, but after all, there were many of them.

Soon the cavalry broke through the bombardment of the Tiger Squat artillery and approached the artillery position.

Qi Jiguang and the others were not nervous in the face of the charge of the rogue army, so they waved the flag and fired flintlock pistols in turn.

In the face of such a dense rain of bullets, whether it was the old battalion soldiers or the elite of the rogues, they could not rush to the front of the Ming army in a short time.

Hao Shaoqi was about to explode, and ordered two hundred soldiers to start scolding, which roughly means that Minggou was timid and afraid of death, and did not dare to engage them in close combat.

Qi Jiguang, Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, the three commanders of the Ming military god-level, all secretly laughed when they saw the angry and corrupt appearance of the rogue.

The Ming Dynasty was originally an army that was good at firearms, and unless it was stupid, there would be firearms without fighting bayonets.

Li Guo found out at this time that something was wrong, the firearm of the Ming army was not a Vulcan spear at all, and he didn't see a person lighting it, so he shouted to Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi:

"Two generals, pay attention, this is not the original firearm of the Ming army at all, they did not use the arquebus to ignite at all, not only the rate of fire is fast, but the bullets are also more dense."

Hao Shaoqi had already discovered that something was wrong, he had fought with the Ming army many times, and the Ming army did not have such combat effectiveness at that time.

Every time the cavalry rushed in front of them, the Great Ming Flames immediately became in disarray.

However, the current Ming army, holding firearms in their hands, is very resolute, and in the face of the intruding army several times their size, there is almost no fluctuation, and they still calmly fire firearms.

Seeing the soldiers under his command constantly falling, the faces of Yuan Zongdi and the others became more and more ugly.

He couldn't figure out what kind of army such a strong Ming army came from, he had never seen it before.

Among the three, Li Guo has the best brain, and he is the nephew and godson of King Chuang, Hao Shaoqi and Yuan Zongdi both looked at him:

"General Li, if we don't take the Jingshi today, we will definitely not be able to explain to King Chuang, in your opinion, how can we use the advantage of numbers to defeat them?"

Li Guo groaned slightly:

"Two generals, in my opinion, can't fight so hard, you see that there are too many casualties now, it is better for us to divide our troops into three routes, the infantry assault in the middle, and the cavalry charge on both sides."

"However, we have already tested it just now, and we can't break through the Ming army's firearms shooting at all, so let's try it again."

Hao Shaoqi and Yuan Zongdi had already suffered a loss just now, but there was no good way, so they could only nod, they all knew that there were still 50,000 elite cavalry who had not launched an attack.

Li Guo stretched his bow and set up an arrow, and a ringing arrow shot into the sky, Tian Jianxiu saw the signal and immediately ordered the elite cavalry to charge from the left flank.
