"Master Hou, why has Qing Yu been lingering in front of the mountain pass and has not attacked for a long time, you see if there is any fraud!" Seeing that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had not moved for more than two hours now, a staff general asked Liu Zongmin worriedly.

Faced with such a strange scene, Liu Zongmin was also puzzled, but he couldn't think of a reason.

"In any case, delaying time is the top priority for us, as long as Your Majesty arrives in Henan safely, even if we all die in battle, it will be worth it." Although Liu Zongmin was faintly uneasy in his heart, he had already made up his mind to die and was not afraid.

Although Liu Zongmin is unwilling, Li Zicheng has the grace to save his life and has the feeling of knowing him, no matter what, he has to protect Li Zicheng well, even if he dies in battle!

Half an hour later.

The Qing army's formation suddenly moved, and many cavalry moved out of the way, which should have been something that the Qing army had brought here.

Although the Qing army at the front still blocked his view, Liu Zongmin couldn't see what the Qing army was doing, but at this moment, the uneasiness in his heart was even worse, and some fear spread in his heart.

"Lord Wang, the cannon has arrived!" A soldier of the Eight Banners came to Dodor to report it.

I saw that in the rear, more than 200 soldiers of the Han Banner Army pushed 20 general cannons forward.

"Good! Hahahaha! Duoduo smiled, Liu Zongmin didn't know the current affairs, and the time of death had come!

"Immediately load the cannonballs, push all the cannons forward for this king, and bombard the Dashun army at the mountain pass!" Duoduo coldly ordered.

"Wow!" The gunners of the Han Banner Army immediately quickly loaded the general's cannons, and soon all the twenty general's cannons were loaded with cannons, and the soldiers of the Han Banner Army pushed the cannons again and slowly moved forward, and the cavalry in front of them slowly moved out of the way.

When the cavalry of the Qing army at the front also dispersed to both sides, the muzzles of the twenty general cannons were exposed in front of the eyes of the Dashun army.

"Ahh It's a cannon! Liu Zongmin screamed in fright.

All the soldiers of the Dashun army were also pale with fright, and their bodies trembled, but before they could react, some Qing soldiers lit the torches in their hands and prepared to open fire.

"Fire!" Duoduo smirked and commanded.

The fuses of all the cannons were ignited, and the twenty cannons let out an earth-shattering roar.

"Boom Boom"

Twenty solid bullets bombarded out with huge thrust.

Because the cannon was pushed to a distance of less than three hundred meters from the mountain pass, the accuracy increased greatly, and except for a few misses, the remaining dozen or so were all hit in the camp of the Dashun Army Musket Battalion.

On the mountain pass road less than 300 meters wide, the 20,000 Dashun troops of the Dashun army are densely gathered here.

"Whew! Snort"

More than a dozen shells shot out more than a dozen terrifying blood grooves in the dense crowd of the Dashun army, from the beginning to the end, the huge power made the soldiers of the Dashun army who were hit disintegrate instantly, and were beaten into a blood mist, accompanied by countless pieces of meat and stumps and broken arms in the sky after flying in the sky for a few breaths and then fell, the entire mountain pass was dyed into blood-colored purgatory, at this moment, at least a thousand soldiers of the Dashun army died tragically!

Liu Zongmin happened to be only a few meters away from a blood trough, and the flying blood mist and minced flesh stained one of his faces red. Liu Zongmin scratched his face in a daze, grabbed a piece of rotten meat, stared at this piece of rotten meat with his eyes, and his lips trembled.

"Ahh Ah" The remaining soldiers of the Dashun Army were all frightened by this scene, their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled, some screamed in horror, and many of them were directly frightened to pee their pants, and the muskets in their hands were unstable, and all the soldiers of the Dashun Army were shrouded in boundless fear and were on the verge of collapse.

"Reload!"

After the Qing army finished firing the artillery, they immediately began to reload.

"The musket battalion will attack forward and destroy the Qing artillery!" Liu Zongmin reacted, shook off the piece of rotten meat in his hand, and immediately shouted, commanding the soldiers of the musket battalion to take the initiative to attack, and must destroy the Qing army's artillery, otherwise everyone will die without a place to bury!

The soldiers of the musket battalion reacted, regardless of fear, and rushed towards the cannon that was being loaded, only three hundred meters away, everyone realized that they had to destroy the artillery of the Qing army to have a chance of survival.

"Hmph, wishful thinking!" Duoduo stared at the Dashun Army Musket Battalion, which took the initiative to attack.

"Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, attack!"

Duoduo gave an order, and two thousand iron horsemen of the Eight Banners rushed forward with bows and arrows in hand.

When rushing to a distance of about 150 meters, the two thousand Eight Banner soldiers released the bowstring at the same time, the impact force carried by the war horse, coupled with the elastic force of the bow and arrow itself, 2,000 arrows formed a rain of arrows, which can be crossed a distance of 150 meters, although less than half of the arrows fell in the crowd of the Dashun army walking in the front, but there were also nearly 100 Dashun army musketeers were hit by arrows.

"Fire!" The formation of the Dashun army was a little chaotic, and many Dashun musketeers opened fire in a panic.

"Bang bang bang" white smoke billowed out.

However, the distance of 150 meters was already outside the effective range of the arquebuses held by the soldiers of the Dashun Army, and it was not enough to damage the 2,000 Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.

Liu Zongmin gritted his teeth and sweated like rain, if this continued, it would be impossible for them to destroy the artillery of the Qing army.

After the two thousand Eight Banner soldiers shot an arrow, they did not take the opportunity to rush forward, but immediately turned back, and another two thousand Eight Banner Iron Cavalry bent their bows and arrows to rush forward, and also shot arrows at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, once again killing and wounding nearly 100 people in the morning of the Dashun Army Musketeers, and at the same time hindering the process of the Dashun Army Musketeers advancing forward.

Liu Zongmin was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

After several rounds of arrow rain of the Qing army, the Dashun army only saw that it had advanced thirty meters, and it was still more than two hundred meters away from the Qing army's artillery, and it was extremely difficult to cross the past.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty stopped rushing over and shooting arrows to obstruct them, and they all dispersed.

"Ah cannon" The muzzles of the twenty black holes appeared in front of the soldiers of the Dashun Army again, like the entrance to hell, and all the soldiers of the Dashun Army turned pale.

"Boom, boom, boom" Before the soldiers of the Dashun Army could react, the Twenty Gate Qing Army immediately let out an earth-shattering roar.

"Ah" a heat wave broke through the air, the air was cut, and most of the cannonballs accurately hit the crowd of the Dashun army, just like the scene just now, more than a dozen cannonballs hit more than a dozen terrifying blood grooves in the dense crowd of the Dashun army, from head to tail, blood mist, broken flesh and stumps and broken arms, the land where the soldiers of the Dashun Army were located was once again dyed into a blood-colored purgatory, and it was also at this moment that at least a thousand soldiers of the Dashun Army died tragically! It's miserable!

"Steady, steady! Don't panic, the Qing army artillery has to be loaded after the cannon is fired, as long as the Qing army cannon can be destroyed before the Qing army is reloaded, everyone will still have a way to live! Liu Zongmin shouted.

In the end, it was the carefully selected soldiers, coupled with Liu Zongmin's own prestige, that once again allowed him to stabilize the soldiers of the musket battalion, and did not collapse immediately.

But despite this, breathing this thick blood mist, the bloody breath filled his chest, and witnessing the ground full of minced flesh and stumps and broken arms, many soldiers of the Dashun Army had weak feet and could not move!

"Everybody rush up with me!"

Under the personal leadership of Liu Zongmin, the soldiers of the Dashun army calmed down a little, and finally organized a formation to attack forward again, hoping that this time they could destroy the artillery of the Qing army before the Qing army finished loading.

"Hey, hey! Liu Zongmin still has a set, he is so miserable, and he can still stabilize the army. Duoduo smiled coldly, looked at Wu Sangui beside him and said, "King Pingxi, how about letting your Guan Ning army come this time." ”

Wu Sangui glanced at Duoduo, his face was expressionless, and he didn't say a word, but he gestured to Guan Ningjun not far away.

"Drive! The Guanning Army attacked! ”

The two thousand iron cavalry of the Guanning army rushed forward like the Manchu Eight Banners just now, shooting arrows to hinder the advance of the Dashun army.

"Wu Sangui!" Liu Zongmin gritted his teeth.

"Don't be afraid of being shot by a bow and arrow, quickly rush forward to destroy the Qing army's artillery to survive!" Liu Zongmin shouted.

The remaining more than 9,000 soldiers of the musket battalion of the Dashun Army gritted their teeth, their eyes showed ruthlessness, and under the threat of death, they burst out with a fierce anger that was not afraid of death, and the formation was constantly pressed forward.

The Guanning army continued to shoot arrows, but under the fearless advance of the soldiers of the musket battalion of the Dashun army, it could not be effectively hindered, the advance speed of the Dashun army was not slow, almost every breath could advance about two meters, although according to this calculation, the soldiers of the Dashun army still could not include the Qing army's artillery into the musket range before the Qing army's cannon was loaded, but with this momentum, it was really possible for the Dashun army soldiers to hold on until the Qing army's artillery was destroyed.

"King Pingxi, your Guanning army seems to be lagging behind in terms of combat strength." Duoduo glanced at Wu Sangui with a smile and said inexplicably.

Wu Sangui's eyes shot a slight chill, but then he immediately endured it, and ordered to Guan Ningjun with an expressionless face: "Guan Ningjun is 100 meters away from the enemy and shoots arrows!" ”

In the face of Wu Sangui's order, although he knew that there would be casualties, the Guan Ning army did not flinch.

"Attack!" Under the leadership of several generals, two thousand Guanning army horses galloped forward, fearlessly rushing forward.

This time, when Guan Ningjun rushed to one hundred and fifty meters, he did not start shooting arrows, but continued to rush forward, and soon rushed within one hundred and twenty meters of the musket battalion of the Dashun army.

"Fire!" Liu Zongmin yelled.

"Bang bang bang" white smoke billowed out, and at least two thousand lead bullets were ejected.

The dozens of soldiers of the Guanning Army who rushed to the front were suddenly plugged, the war horses neighed, and the corpses of the soldiers and the corpses of the war horses rushed to the ground with a roar.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Woohoo"

When the two armies were separated by a distance of 100 meters, the Guanning army finally loosened the bowstring of the bow and arrows, and suddenly 2,000 arrows formed a rain of arrows and all shot into the formation of the soldiers of the musket battalion of the Dashun army. In the dense formation, hundreds of soldiers of the Great Shun Army were hit by arrows, nearly 100 people were shot and killed on the spot, and the rest also fell to the ground and screamed, and the marching speed of the musket battalion was finally hindered.

"Bang bang bang" was another round of musket fire, but after the soldiers of the Guanning army shot a round of arrows in their hands, they had already turned their horses and turned back, but there were also 20 Guanning soldiers who were knocked off their horses, and the Guanning army lost nearly 100 people back and forth.

Many generals of the Guanning Army were dripping blood, but Wu Sangui did not order it to stop, and the Guanning Army could only continue to attack and hinder the advance of the musket battalion of the Dashun Army with their lives.

The dense gunfire and the sound of arrows breaking through the air were intertwined, and the soldiers of the musket battalion of the Dashun army and the soldiers of the Guanning army were constantly killed on the battlefield.

Although several rounds of gunfire killed and injured many Guan Ning troops, Liu Zongmin was already sweating like rain, calculating the time, the Qing army was about to finish loading again, and they only advanced less than 50 meters, and there was still a distance of more than 200 meters, which was difficult and hopeless.

The slow advance also made the morale of the soldiers of the musket battalion of the Dashun Army gradually fall to the bottom, and there was no hope of victory! Fear and despair once again spread among the soldiers of the musket battalion of the Dashun Army.

Just like the soldiers of the Eight Banners last time, all the soldiers of the Guanning Army dispersed. Immediately, the muzzles of twenty black holes appeared in front of the soldiers of the musket battalion of the Dashun Army again.

"Run!" In the face of this threat of death, the soldiers of the Dashun Army Musket Battalion exploded violently, panic and fear could not be suppressed, I don't know who shouted, countless soldiers of the Dashun Army Musket Battalion threw the muskets in their hands and fled, and the entire Dashun Army Musket Battalion soldiers collapsed.

At this time, the artillery of the Qing army also roared, bringing up bursts of blood mist among the soldiers of the Dashun army who fled in chaos, and the collapse of the musket battalion of the Dashun army was even more accelerated.

"It's over!" Liu Zongmin's face was like ashes, and he fell to his knees in despair.

The soldiers of the collapsed musket battalion fled in the direction of the mountain pass, and led the 8,000 foot soldiers still stationed in the mountain pass to flee with them, and the army was defeated like a mountain.

"Kill" More than 100,000 Qing army iron cavalry charged, deafening.

Liu Zongmin knelt on the ground, staring at the fierce Qing army's iron cavalry.

"Kill" Liu Zongmin burst out with a roar, stood up suddenly, and faced the hundreds of thousands of Qing army iron cavalry alone, without fear!

Liu Zongmin struggled to slash, and took the lead in seeing the two Eight Banner soldiers fall off their horses with a single shot.

"Snort"

Liu Zongmin slashed wildly, and was soon overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands of Qing army iron cavalry.

After cutting off a Guan Ning Army soldier again, Liu Zongmin's back was also slashed.

"Poof!" Liu Zongmin staggered forward sharply and spewed out a mouthful of blood mist.

"Ugh! Kill" Liu Zongmin's mouth was bloody, his eyes were red, and after he roared again, he swung his knife and slashed again, but before he could slash the Qing army, he was once again stabbed in the face by a soldier of the Eight Banners with a white flag, and was cut out of a hideous blood mark.

This is a fatal knife, and it is this knife that ends Liu Zongmin's life!

"Bang!" Liu Zongmin faced the sky, and his body fell to the ground, smashing up a wisp of smoke! Die with a grievance or everlasting regret!

Liu Zongmin, a fierce general of a generation of peasant rebels, died on the battlefield!
