Chapter 578: Vast Military Might

A gust of cold wind hit, and the Dashun military flag embroidered with black borders fluttered high.

Under the banner, Li Zicheng frowned and looked at the retreating soldiers and horses of the Shun army, and deeply felt that the Tianwu army was too difficult to gnaw, and the artillery attack alone was enough for himself to drink a pot, and their infantry and cavalry had not yet been dispatched.

He looked in the direction of the Jade Emperor Mountain, wanting to find a weak point from the artillery fire of the Ming army, so that the second wave of attacks would attack there and conquer the Jade Emperor Mountain with a thunderous blow.

Song Xiance and others are also trying their best to look around, hoping to get along as soon as possible and break the enemy's strategy.

Suddenly, the earth trembled, followed by a rhythmic roar.

In front of the Jade Emperor Mountain, the dust was flying, and a sea of armor suddenly appeared under the mountain, and in the sound of passionate war drums, a steady stream of troops gathered into a dense phalanx queue.

The 50,000 Heavenly Martial Army's infantry was in an orderly manner, marching with neat and heavy steps, and every time they raised their feet, the red armor was like an undulating ocean, and the dense bayonets were shining infinitely, which was extremely shocking.

The drums rumbled, the horns whined, and the neat footsteps of the Tianwu Army seemed to be the same, constantly advancing forward.

The sound of the horn suddenly became dull and solemn, and the whole army immediately shouted three times in unison: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

The huge sound surged forward like a bad breath, and the vast momentum seemed to stir the whole world, which made people shocked, and the retreating Dashun army was immediately frightened, and many people staggered and fell to the ground while running.

Li Zicheng and other generals of the Dashun Army looked at the scene in front of the Jade Emperor Mountain blankly, although they were far away, they still deeply felt the unstoppable momentum of the Tianwu Army, the kind of military formation, the strength of ten thousand voices.

Song Xiance, the founding military division of Dashun, turned pale, his heart was cold, his short body was a little shorter again at this time, the other party only had tens of thousands of people, but the momentum of the outbreak shocked all the four or five hundred thousand people on his side.

What kind of army is this?

The huge military array was still approaching step by step, and under the sunlight, the torrent of iron armor flashed with pieces of light, which made all the Shun troops panic.

Li Zicheng's heart beat fiercely, the Tianwu soldiers are all in armor, luxuriously equipped, and full of murderous spirit, how can such an army Dashun be defeated?

Ruhou Liu Zongmin's eyes were straight, and he blurted out: "Damn, this is the real elite!" ”

Wang Zhen beside him, his originally calm face gradually became deeper.

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

In the midst of cheers, a huge gold-woven dragon gradually appeared in the Tianwu army, and the bright red dragon flag was surging like waves, constantly encouraging the army to move forward.

The Great Banner of the Dragon was carried in a huge four-layer chariot, and on top of the chariot, Zhu Cihong, the Great Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, was dressed in shining gold armor, holding the Sword of the Son of Heaven, with a majestic face, pointing obliquely ahead.

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

Where the chariot passed, the sound of long live swept in all directions, and the soldiers of the Tianwu Army cheered feverishly.

Looking at the tall chariot and such a big pomp, Li Zicheng felt very uncomfortable in his heart, looking at what the emperor of the world did and what his own emperor did, it was really more popular than people.

Seeing the solemn and solemn military formation on the opposite side slowly coming, the hearts of the generals of the Shun army were filled with a trace of panic and fear.

Heaven Shaking Tiger Wang Zhen looked at the figure under the huge dragon, his eyes suddenly brightened, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Suddenly, Liu Zongmin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, don't be afraid, I will win this battle, go and rectify your Shenji Battalion!" ”

Wang Zhen's heart shook suddenly, and he quickly regained his calm expression, and nodded in response.

Since Xiangchengbo, who led the Shenji Battalion to surrender, was roasted to death, under the recommendation of Liu Zongmin, Li Zicheng asked Wang Zhen, who was familiar with firearms, to take over the Shenji Battalion of the Ming Army.

Under the urgent urging of Ruhou Liu Zongmin, Cihou Liu Fangliang, Bohou Li Guo and others, the signs of the collapse of the Shun army gradually stabilized, and they were converging to form a formation and began to fight against the Tianwu army.

The Tianwu Army maintained a strict formation, stepping on neat steps, like an iron wall, rushing straight away, strong killing intent and confidence rippling, I believe that no force in the world can stop their progress!

The infantry of the Shun army wore armor and waited for the battle, but as the Tianwu army approached, the mood in the Shun army became more and more unstable.

Li Zicheng snorted coldly and shouted, "Hooray!" ”

"Dashun will win! Dashun will win! ”

The shouting in the Shun army was weak and chaotic, and people from a distance could not hear what was being shouted over there.

Li Zicheng's face was gloomy, and he immediately ordered the three armies: "The foot soldier archer stepped forward and shot the formation, so that they could not be approached and messed up the formation." ”

In the face of such an elite division as the Tianwu Army, if they press forward step by step, under that kind of powerful might, the cowardice of the Dashun Army will cause the formation to be chaotic and have the majesty of defeat.

Only by keeping a distance, slamming up wave after wave, and consuming its strength, can the Dashun army crush and defeat it!

Under Liu Zongmin's order, the Shun army's dense sword and shield men, archers, musketeers and other long-range troops have all gathered in front of the large array, and some of the remaining artillery pieces have also been pushed forward.

Liu Zongmin ordered: "All the artillery pieces are replaced with shotguns, and when they enter the hundred steps, bomb the damn ones, and let them taste these little iron eggs too!" ”

The effective killing range of the Hongyi cannon shotgun is about 200 steps, the Franc cannon is very short, the big Franc cannon is almost 100 steps, and the small and medium-sized Franc cannon is only a few dozen steps.

"Wow! Wow! Whoop ....."

Under the scarlet dragon flag, 50,000 Tianwu Army infantry soldiers marched firmly, and with every footstep, the earth would shake with it.

When it was two hundred steps away from the Shun army, the Tianwu army's formation immediately stopped, and the heavens and the earth suddenly fell silent in an instant.

On the chariot, Zhu Cihong looked at the Shunjun army formation in the distance, slowly pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and said loudly: "Daming Wangshi, hang the people and cut down the crime, sweep away the thieves, and the world is peaceful!" ”

He drew his sword sharply, pointed diagonally at the side of the Shun army's battle array, and shouted, "Kill them all!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

In the passionate sound of war drums, the iron armor was strong, and the Tianwu Army quickly lengthened the battle formation while shouting slogans, forming eight rows of gun formations, and the front and rear two rows were staggered into a group, a total of four groups, which was the latest type of "two rows of salvos, four groups of rotational fire" tactics of the Tianwu Army.

The strength of the Tianwu Army made the Dashun Army suffocated, and many of them didn't understand, why did the opposite side stop? Is this about defending?

At a distance of 200 steps, except for the Hongyi cannon with solid bullets, it is difficult to deal damage with other guns, whether it is a Franco cannon or a firecracker, what does the Tianwu Army want to do?

In the midst of the fickle drums, all the soldiers of the Tianwu Army took off their Heding rifles from their shoulders and began to load their bullets skillfully and orderly.

The effective killing distance of the Heding rifle is 600 paces, and the distance of 200 paces, with only the remnants of the Hongyi cannon of the Shun army, it can't do much damage if you want to shell.
