In the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, Mu Ying used a three-stage attack in Yunnan to break the elephant soldiers of Tusi with firearms.

Eight years before Hongwu, the Ming military armaments were manufactured by the Baoyuan Bureau, and later changed to the Military War Bureau (Neifu) and the Ordnance Bureau (Ministry of Industry), and all the firearms casting rights were returned to the central government.

The Ministry of Industry was first corrupted, and the quality of the firearms made by the Ordnance Bureau was extremely poor, and he was ordered by Ming Yingzong to learn from the Eunuchs' War Bureau.

As a result, the Ordnance Bureau did not learn well, but the War Bureau did badly.

By the orthodox years, the central government's firearms were no longer usable, so the right to manufacture firearms was sunk to the localities, among which Sichuan was the first to start casting firearms.

The Guangdong fire gun in Nie Xuan's hand was more slender than Zhu Yuanzhang's time, as long as an adult man's arm and a half.

Seeing the thieves slaughtering the soldiers, Nie Zhen divided the five hundred firecrackers into three rows and shouted: "No one is allowed to light a fire without my order!" ”

As a result, it's one thing to say and another thing to do.

These are just ordinary guards, and being able to play with firearms is already quite powerful, do you still want to expect them to be in battle?

Before the thieves could reach the effective firing range, the first platoon of soldiers had already ignited in a panic, and only shot a few unlucky ones among the thieves.

Nie Zhen was furious: "Whoever doesn't listen to the order again, Lao Tzu cut him!" ”

The first row retreated to fill the gunpowder, and the second row went up with trembling hands, ready to flee at any moment. It's okay to let them shoot on the Cangzhou city wall, and facing the anti-thief charge on the flat ground has exceeded the professionalism of the guards.

"Don't retreat, those who retreat will be killed!" Nie Zhen personally carried a knife and stood behind to enforce military law.

This guy is also a ruthless person, or forced to be ruthless by the situation.

Until the enemy was thirty paces away, Nie Zhen shouted: "Ignition!" ”

"Boom!"

A small group of anti-thief formations were disrupted, and many thieves dared to charge with bows and arrows, but they did not dare to charge with firearms, and fled like headless flies in panic.

"The third team stepped forward."

"Ignition!"

There was another loud bang, and the actual damage was not large, but it blew away the two thousand anti-thieves facing each other.

"Don't retreat!" Yang Hu personally led the supervising team, killing more than 30 people in a row, and finally reluctantly retracted the formation, and charged towards the car formation desperately.

Nie Zhen yelled: "The first team stepped forward...... Damn, the first team stepped forward. ”

The first team, which fired in advance, has not reloaded its ammunition since it was returned.

Full archers, half of them are shooting at the ship against the thief. Since the flanks had not yet arrived, he immediately moved the other half to the front and used his bow and arrows to gain reload time for the firecrackers.

Seeing that the thieves had already approached more than ten paces, the first team of firecrackers finally stepped forward and completed the salvo under Nie Xuan's order.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a spectacular scene appeared on the battlefield.

The front-row anti-thieves in front of him seemed to have been wiped off the battlefield, and the soldiers on the left and right were so frightened that they fled for their lives, and Yang Hu's supervising team couldn't stop.

And the firecrackers, who had made a great achievement, also threw down their weapons and fled—too close!

The rout on both sides caused a chain reaction.

On the side of the officers and soldiers, as soon as the firecrackers ran, they immediately led the archers and civilians to flee.

On the side of the anti-thieves, more than 2,000 people fled, and the direction of the deserters attacked Yang Hu and Zhao Qi's Chinese army.

Rookies peck at each other and flee at the same time!

Nie Zhen and Man Zheng are already mad, they are still running a fart at this time, and one more salvo can achieve a decisive victory.

Yang Hu and Zhao Qi were also tired, and shouted frantically: "The official army has been defeated, the official army has been defeated!" The Retreater, Slash! ”

Liu Liu and Liu Qi had already driven ashore, and the two bandits were wounded, but they rushed into the car formation first, slashing and killing indiscriminately with archers, firecrackers, and civilians.

Nie Zhen and Man Zheng couldn't contain the rout, so they could only flee on horseback, where did they still have the courage to continue to kill the enemy?

And Wang Yuan's guys have been watching the show in cold blood on the sidelines.

Zhu Zhi said with a smile: "Wang Yushi, the thief army is in chaos. ”

"Heavy Cavalry Assault!"

Wang Yuan held the horse lance in his hand and rushed straight towards the enemy's Chinese army.

In front of them were 2,000 spearmen led by Liu Hui, and on the left flank were 1,800 cavalry led by Qi Yanming.

"Kill!"

Without any fancy tactics, two hundred heavy horsemen wearing padlocks and iron armor rushed towards a spear formation composed of two thousand elite old thieves.

Qi Yanming led 1,800 thieves to ride and collectively adjusted the direction, wanting to besiege and kill the officers and soldiers with the spearmen. As long as the 200 heavy cavalry cannot break through the spear formation in an instant, they will face the dilemma of being attacked on their backs.

"Shoot!"

Two hundred heavy horsemen raised their crossbows, fired an arrow and threw it away, and then felt out a second crossbow to shoot.

After the second arrow was fired, the two sides were already engaged.

"The one who retreats is slashed!" Liu Hui rode on his horse and drank.

Liu Hui also has a high prestige, in history, Zhao Qi was separated from Yang Hu for a period of time, so he led other thieves to serve Liu Hui as the master. Its status in the rivers and lakes is similar to that of Yang Hu and Qi Yanming, but his personal force is not so strong.

These are all core old thieves, and in the face of the charge of two hundred heavy horses, none of them retreated.

Wang Yuan swung his horse lance and swept away four or five thieves immediately, and he was almost knocked off his horse by the recoil force. He threw away his horse lance and rushed into the formation, slashing more than a dozen people in a row with a knife in his hand, and Ah Hei, who was wearing chain mail, also knocked a few away, and actually rode directly through the enemy formation.

The emperor's father's 200 elite horsemen ushered in heavy losses at this moment.

At the moment of encountering the enemy, more than 30 people fell off their horses, all of whom were shaken down by the force of the recoil.

But those core thieves are also finished!

Have you ever seen a car crash?

In front of him is a large car accident scene, and the thief in front of him is hit into a bloody blur. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, the spear and spear in his hand couldn't hold it at all, and they were all knocked out of his hand, and the tight spear formation was easily chiseled through.

Qi Yanming led more than 1,800 light horsemen to kill, but all he saw was a huge gap in his spear array. He led his cavalry through the gap, slashed at the friendly soldiers who stood in his way, and shouted frantically: "Kill the enemy!" ”

Yang Hu and Zhao Qi finally gathered the rout, but before they could regroup, they saw more than 100 horsemen rushing forward.

In just an instant, these frightened thieves fled again, and the thieves such as Yang Hu and Zhao Qi also fled for their lives.

"The general trend is gone, Brother Yang, let's go!" Zhao Qi said helplessly.

Yang Hu was already red-eyed, and shouted: "We can fight again, we still have more than 1,800 horses." Don't escape, keep it all for Lao Tzu! ”

can't be stable, even Yang Hu himself can't be stable. He was surrounded by routs, and if he wanted to go back to fight Wang Yuan, he had to fight a way out of the rout.

As a last resort, Zhao Qi, Yang Hu and others could only flee along the rout.

Qi Yanming and Jia Mian'er were even more crazy, although they were 1,800 light horses, they were behind more than 100 horses, and they might really have a chance to win if they attacked and killed from behind.

But the problem is that more than 100 cavalry have already rushed into the rout, and their own rout has blocked Qi Yanming's cavalry.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Qi Yanming killed several routs in a row, and was so frightened that the routs around him rushed directly towards the Grand Canal.

"Big brother, look!" Qi Yanming's brother-in-law, Pang Wenxuan, suddenly pointed in the direction of Cangzhou.

"Withdraw!"

Qi Yanming only glanced back, and then immediately ordered a retreat.

However, it was Xu Tai, the deputy commander-in-chief, who was in a hurry to grab the credit, so he actually threw down the large army and personally led more than 1,000 cavalry to chase after him.

Nie Zhen and Man Zheng ran away, and when they saw the reinforcements coming from a distance, they immediately turned their horses' heads, gathered the routs and shouted: "The reinforcements have arrived, sons, follow me to kill the thieves!" ”

Liu Liu and Liu Qi had already occupied the car formation, planning to rescue the scattered friendly forces, but they were also frightened and fled at this time: "Go back to the ship!" ”

Seeing that the chase was not in a hurry, Man Zheng rode on his horse and threw an arrow indiscriminately, not knowing where the arrow fell.

Liu Qi was holding his arms on the edge of the boat, and was being lifted up by his subordinates, when an arrow suddenly hit him in the back. This guy was injured by an arrow in Cangzhou, and the wound had been broken by a rush just now, and now he ate an arrow and fell directly into the Grand Canal.

"Brother Liu Qi is dead!"

A thief shouted wildly.

The thieves were frightened and scrambled to climb the boat, while pushing away the friendly troops who were grabbing their seats.

Liu Liu and his personal guards were pushed away, and the thieves on the boat saw the arrival of reinforcements from the officers and soldiers, so they were so frightened that they fled along the Grand Canal in advance.

"Lao Tzu hasn't gotten on the boat yet!" Liu Liu was so angry that he scolded.

Qi Hutou hurriedly said: "Sixth uncle, quickly change your clothes and run!" ”

Liu Liu immediately took off his silk clothes and changed into the rags of the fallen thieves, but he didn't bother to put them on, so he fled indiscriminately among the rout.

Qi Yanming ran away with 1,800 thieves, and Wang Yuan couldn't chase after him in heavy armor, so he had to lead the heavy cavalry to turn around and kill those core old thieves. The old thieves were all fleeing, and there was no resistance at all, and some simply threw away their spears and knelt down to beg for mercy.

The eunuch Zhu Ying had already hid far away from the sentry led by Wu Liande, and did not participate in the previous fierce battle at all. At this time, when he saw the complete victory, he immediately turned into a fierce man, brandished a big knife and began to chase wildly: "Kill the enemy and serve the country, just today!" ”

Deputy Chief Soldier Xu Tai saw the battle situation clearly from a distance, and said anxiously: "Fast, fast, no matter how slow it is, there will be no thieves to kill!" ”

Wang Yuan no longer paid attention to those spearmen, and turned to kill the thieves behind him, who directly chose to jump into the river and flee after being attacked by the enemy.

Qi Hutou couldn't swim at all, and seeing that there was no way out, he suddenly remembered the court's reward document, and it seemed that the thieves and leaders could not be investigated for this crime if they killed each other.

"Uncle Six, wait a minute!" Qi Hutou shouted.

Liu Liu was about to jump into the river, and subconsciously turned around, but saw a knife light.

Qi Hu cut off Liu Liu's head, and shouted at Wang Yuan's heavy horse: "Don't kill me, Liu Liu's head is here, I want to make meritorious contributions!" ”

"Liu Liu's head?"

When Zhu Zhi heard this, he immediately accelerated, ran over and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Qi Hutou said: "I am Qi Hutou, the son of Qi Yanming, and Liu Liu has been awarded the head. This general, please allow me to join the army and serve the country, and I will persuade my father to turn himself in. ”

"Hahahaha!"

Zhu Zhi laughed, dismounted cautiously, walked over wearing heavy armor, and said with a smile: "You are very good, very clever!" ”

Qi Hutou smiled and said, "General, my father still has 1,800 cavalry in his hands. As long as I fight with you, I will surely return him. ”

"Not bad, not bad." Zhu Zhi nodded again and again, and suddenly slashed out.

The smile on Qi Hutou's face did not disperse, but he had a frightened expression, and the smile and fear froze on his face at the same time.

Zhu Zhi was holding two heads in his hands, still not satisfied, and captured a fugitive thief alive and asked, "Where is Liu Qi?" ”

The thief knelt down and kowtowed, "General Liu Qi was hit by an arrow and fell into the river." ”

Zhu Zhi seemed to have just hit five million, and then five million, and shouted in ecstasy: "Go down to the river to get the corpse!" ”
