The explosion of shells and the firing of muskets, accompanied by the beastly howls of the Dzungar soldiers, resounded through the valley.

On the main road, the Dzungar army of two thousand people, under the cover of artillery fire, rushed towards the Ming army after the break.

Some Ming soldiers who were hiding in the shadows were accidentally hit by shells falling from the sky, and their stumps flew like rain along with the dead branches and rubble that had been blown away.

Xu Mingwu looked heartbroken, although these subordinates of his were only second-rate troops in the Ming army, and they lacked training compared to the Tianwu army, they did not lack the courage to kill the enemy and serve the country!

They dare to fight the enemy for real! Not in the slightest bit frightened by the fierceness of the battlefield and the ferocity of the enemy!

If time passes, Xu Mingwu can be sure that he will train those brothers into a modern army no less than the Tianwu Army!

However, God doesn't seem to want to give him time, there are too many Dzungar troops who have besieged and killed, so many that it makes people's scalp tingle!

The Junggar army continued to pour over, and the soldiers in Xu Mingwu's hands, including Qin Shiyue's thirty or so personal soldiers, added up to less than five hundred.

Originally, Xu Mingwu planned to rely on the typical gun formation of the Ming army to deter the enemy, but the enemy was assisted by artillery, so he didn't dare to order the gun to be lined up at all, it was purely a way to send to death!

In the end, the Ming army used the sentinel as a unit to carry out a free counterattack, but they ran out of bullets and could not stop the Dzungar army's flood attack, and the two sides soon approached to merge together, forming a white-knuckle battle.

The only remaining 500 or so people in Xu Mingwu's department fought to the death with the Dzungar army in order to buy time for the Han King and other main forces to retreat.

There were a lot of corpses here, both sides were red-eyed, Xu Mingwu cut down four Tartar soldiers in a row, but together with Qin Shiyue, he was surrounded by countless Junggar troops.

The leaders of the Dzungar army had already seen that these two should be the commanders of the Ming army, so they concentrated their forces to do them.

"My lord, I'm afraid I can't hold it!"

Xu Mingwu's personal guard captain Xu Dongyan gasped and said, he was originally Xu Qingshan's personal soldier, with outstanding fighting ability, and he has become Xu Mingwu's personal guard since last year.

However, at this time, Xu Dongyan had several colors on his body, and the terrifying wounds under his shoulders were bleeding nonstop, and he became a bloody man.

Xu Mingwu carried the enemy's scimitar and fought with a Dzungar soldier while shouting: "There are too many wild dogs, fight and retreat, how much can you go!" ”

Xu Mingwu retreated to Qin Shiyue's side and said to him, "Brother Qin, do you miss your daughter-in-law?" ”

"Lao Tzu is a man, so he won't be so unproductive!" Qin Shiyue shouted.

He was holding a Wu Shi rifle, the bullets in the gun had long been exhausted, and the bayonets were all bent.

Qin Shiyue could only use this world's most advanced rifle as a stick to kill the enemy, but the barrel was smashed and deformed, and it completely became a burning stick.

Xu Mingwu was worried about the loss of talent, and persuaded: "Brother Qin, if you don't evacuate, when you die in battle, my brother will take care of your wife and children for you!" ”

Qin Shiyue laughed: "You kid hasn't even touched a woman, what kind of man is pretending to be!" I advise you kid to evacuate quickly, but don't die young, and end up in no end! ”

"Fart!" Xu Mingwu shouted.

This time, Qin Shiyue didn't scold him, but made an appointment: "Brother, when the battle is over, I'll take you to Qinhuai River for a walk, tsk, the girls there are more beautiful than the other!" ”

"You fucking talk counts!" Xu Mingwu shouted, raised his saber, and rushed towards a Dzungar soldier who was slashing with a knife.

This Tartar soldier also had two hits, and he also knew that he had a false sword, let Xu Mingwu's machete, and after a round, he raised the knife to Xu Mingwu's back is an oblique slash.

With a muffled sound of "bang", the Dzungar soldier rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

I saw that Xu Dongyan was still holding a blood-stained rifle in his hand, and the name of the Tartar was obviously knocked on the back of the head by him.

Compared with other countries in the world, the Ming army was well-trained and had extremely strong individual combat capability.

—————

They used mountains, rocks and trees as cover, coordinated front and back, and even more than a dozen Ming soldiers held bright bayonets, forming a sharp formation howling and attacking.

In the face of these dozen or so deformed faces, the Dzungar army was shocked by their offensive, and immediately panicked, and was actually stunned.

"Retreat!" Xu Mingwu shouted.

Taking advantage of this time, hundreds of Ming soldiers gave up fighting with the enemy and ran away.

The Dzungar army was stunned at first, and then chased after them again with a hula.

After Qin Shiyue broke off with his own soldiers, he stabbed with his spear, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Dzungar soldiers died under their bayonets.

Qin Shiyue was covered in wounds, half of his body was stained red with blood, he held the Wu Shi rifle, and let out a loud shout: "Erlang, come with Lao Tzu, kill these dog-day Tartars, and take their small lives to sacrifice cannons!" ”

His own soldiers, armed with bayonets, followed him to the enemy and fought with the Dzungar soldiers.

Xu Mingwu was organizing a retreat, when he suddenly heard the cheers behind him, turned around and looked, and his face was suddenly full of urgency.

Why didn't this shaft cargo withdraw, but killed the enemy?

Hearing the word "sacrificial cannon", Xu Mingwu realized that this guy was still distressed by the martial emperor cannon! This is to be martyred!

He gritted his teeth, grabbed his weapon and killed him alone.

Qin Shiyue was born in the family of an official eunuch in Bosi, Guangzhou, and had contact with Westerners since childhood, and was educated by spy foreign teachers in his childhood, and became extremely reverent of foreigners.

Later, as he grew older, he understood a lot of things after reading through Chinese and foreign history, and after entering the Huangming Military Academy, Qin Shiyue accepted the baptism of thought, and gradually transformed into a staunch patriot, ready to sacrifice for the country at any time!

Now, his beloved six Martial Emperor cannons are gone, and the artillery camp has almost been broken up, Qin Shiyue feels like he has lost his soul and wants to die in battle to reflect his most value!

Qin Shiyue stabbed a Dzungar soldier to death, and he was also stabbed in the thigh, bleeding profusely, and just as he was about to catch his breath, more than twenty Dzungar troops rushed up the mountain and surrounded him and the only seven or eight remaining personal soldiers.

A leader of the Dzungar army wearing armor and a pointed helmet pointed at Qin Shiyue with a saber in his hand, and shouted loudly in stiff Chinese: "You will be considered a good man!" Kneel down my Great Khan and spare your life! ”

Qin Shiyue swallowed and spit, laughed three times with a Wushi rifle, and shouted: "I see that you are also a fucking hero, surrender to me Daming, Lao Tzu will promote you to be a sentry!" ”

The leader raised his saber, and more than a dozen Junggar soldiers howled and rushed towards Qin Shiyue, and more than a dozen sabers slashed towards Qin Shiyue.

Suddenly, I heard an angry roar: "Give Lao Tzu death!" ”

Xu Mingwu also picked up a spear out of nowhere, rushed to Qin Shiyue's body, and stabbed to death one of the most ruthless Dzungar soldiers on the spot.

Behind him was Xu Dongyan and the personal guards, who killed him without saying a word, covering the evacuation of the two chief officers.

Xu Mingwu threw down the spear and pulled Qin Shiyue to run, although the two had only known each other for a few days, but through understanding, they had already become sympathetic.

Suddenly, there was a scattered burst of gunfire behind him, and Xu Mingwu turned around suddenly, but he was horrified to see all kinds of muskets of the Dzungar army, firing at his own soldiers.

More than a dozen of Xu Mingwu's pro-soldiers, along with Xu Dongyan, the captain of the pro-soldiers, fell in a pool of blood......

"Brother Yan......"

Xu Mingwu stopped, his eyes straightened, and he felt as if his heart was about to stand still.

Gradually, his expression was extremely painful, with tears in his eyes, and when he saw the enemy chasing after him, he gritted his teeth and took Qin Shiyue into the dense forest.
