"Fire!"

Gao Jie gave an order, and more than a dozen Franc machine twelve-pounder cannons in Linqing City were ignited together.

The huge impact pushed the lead bullet out and smashed it into the Qing army's formation.

The Green Battalion Soldiers, who were pushing the cart and the ladder forward, were unaware of the danger coming, and did not feel the horror of its power until a buckshot smashed into the baffle.

"Boom!"

A loud bang was heard, and the body of the rushing car was immediately smashed into a large hole.

The Green Battalion soldiers hiding under the baffle were smashed into pulp in an instant.

Although this lead bullet did not explode and produce secondary damage, it caused considerable damage to the Qing soldiers by impact alone.

Many soldiers of the Green Battalion witnessed this tragic situation at close range, and their stomachs turned upside down, and they vomited with nausea.

Most of them did not have the character of fortitude in the first place, otherwise they would not have surrendered to the Manchus.

This storming of the city was also a last resort. After all, behind them is the military law team, and if you are a deserter, the military law team will be a knife in the head.

But now they really can't take it anymore.

The companions were smashed into flesh and smashed, and even the bones were smashed into slag, and they were truly dead corpses.

The human survival instinct played a role at this moment, and most of the green battalion soldiers turned around and ran away.

The rest of the soldiers who wanted to insist on fighting also turned around and fled when they saw what else was going on.

Seeing this, Shi Tingzhu jumped straight to his feet.

These green battalion soldiers are really unusable, and they will be destroyed in a few shots.

"The court-martials team stepped forward! Chop off the heads of all these deserters! ”

Shi Tingzhu's eyes were round with rage, and he let out a beastly roar.

The bannermen of the Han military banner drew their waist swords one after another, and stepped forward to prepare to carry out the military law.

They will not have the slightest mercy for deserters.

If these green battalion soldiers all escaped, wouldn't they have to go into battle themselves?

We must make an example of this moment!

However, the impact of the defeated army was obviously beyond their expectations, and hundreds of rout troops rushed into battle, and they were overwhelming.

The green battalion soldiers rushed into battle in order to survive, and the flag soldiers of the military law team desperately swung their knives and slashed, but it was to no avail except for cutting a few routed soldiers.

"Oh my God!"

Shi Tingzhu had never seen such a scene, and in his impression he was that the Qing army was invincible, and he had never encountered such a rout.

These green battalion soldiers, who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures, really lost the face of the Qing army.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"

In desperation, Shi Tingzhu had to use the archers in advance.

These archers, who were supposed to be used for secondary fire suppression, had to be used to stop the fleeing Green Battalion. If the rout army is allowed to attack the main formation of Luckd Humbelle, Shi Tingzhu himself will not be able to save it.

The Eight Banners are all proficient in archery, and the same is true of the Han Army Banner.

Under Shi Tingzhu's order, they bent their bows and arrows one after another, aiming at the green battalion soldiers who were rushing like wild beasts.

The same is true for Chen Shuncai.

He swallowed a mouthful of spit, his fingers on the bowstring trembling slightly.

He didn't really want to do that. Considering that they are all Han Chinese, he is a little unable to do it.

But when he thought that the rout of these green battalion soldiers would make him be pushed to the forefront and attack the city, he felt a touch of ruthlessness in his heart.

You brought it all upon yourself!

Chen Shuncai's heart was ruthless, his fingers were off the string, and a carved arrow was fired at a green battalion soldier dozens of steps away.

The Green Battalion soldier, who was only sixteen or seventeen, was running wildly when an arrow suddenly came through his throat.

"Woo!"

The Green Battalion soldier pinched the arrow with both hands, trying to pull it out. He tried to call for help, but it was a low whimper.

Dark red blood flowed from his neck, and the pain caused his body to spasm.

After subconsciously falling to the ground, he was never able to stand up again.

One by one, the Green Battalion stepped over his body and continued to run forward.

Although Chen Shuncai and the green battalion soldier only looked at each other for a moment, they couldn't forget his eyes.

Resentment, despair, unwillingness...

The desire to survive before dying...

Chen Shuncai shook his head violently, and once again pulled out a feather arrow and put it on the string.

The arrows were like locusts, and from time to time the green battalion soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, but more green battalion soldiers still rushed towards the main formation without hesitation.

They want to live! Going to siege the city can only send you to death!

"What the hell!"

Shi Tingzhu gasped.

The Judge Advocate Corps can't stop the rout, the archers can't stop it, so what to do now? Is it really called the main force of the flag soldiers and the green battalion soldiers to fight hand-to-hand?

At this time, Luck Dehun rushed over and roared at Shi Tingzhu: "What are you waiting for, you slave, the Ming army can fire artillery, can't we?" ”

It turned out that although there were no red-coat cannons in the Luckedhun army, there were some small cannons.

Although these small cannons cannot be used to siege cities, they can still be used to bombard people.

Shi Tingzhu woke up like a dream: "The slave will do as he is told." ”

Under the command of Shi Tingzhu, the banner soldiers of the Han army pushed the small cannon to the front of the formation and ignited it at the green battalion soldiers.

Although the power of this buckshot is not comparable to that of a twelve-pounder gun, it should not be underestimated.

For the fleeing Green Battalion, the nightmare was once again staged.

"Ahh

Screams came one after another, and many soldiers were shot straight through their chests, leaving bloody holes the size of palms.

Some of them died instantly, while others did not die completely, and fell to the ground tumbling and twisting in agony.

"Those who dare to escape will be killed, and their wives and daughters will be sent to Ningguta as slaves!"

Shi Tingzhu saw that the shelling had achieved results, so he said while the iron was hot.

The Green Battalion stopped after being shelled by the flag soldiers after a few rounds of shelling, stood there in a daze, and became calm when they heard Shi Tingzhu's words again.

Yes, they just scattered and fled for their lives, and they fled all the way out of instinct.

But when they calmed down, they all felt scared.

If nothing else, let's just say that those soldiers who have already married a family, if they become deserters, can their families still end up well? He will definitely be used as a slave and driven and scolded at will, not even a person.

When they thought of this, their hearts were like knives.

The siege was also killed, and the escape was also killed. Since they were all killed, of course they would choose to attack the city.

In this way, if their families are not paid, at least they will not be sent to Ningguta as slaves.

Most of the green battalion soldiers turned around helplessly and rushed towards the head of Linqing City again.

As for those routs who were still stubborn and tried to charge into battle, Shi Tingzhu did not tolerate them, and ordered the banner soldiers to continue to fire artillery, and their bones were blown up.

The Green Battalion was kicked around like a rattan ball.

Above the city, Zhu Cihong saw that the green battalion soldiers had turned back again, and there was a trace of unbearability in his heart.

After all, these are also Han Chinese, and they were all his people.

But I can't bear to be fleeting.

If you want to blame themselves, blame them for being a tiger and a dog for the Manchus.

Zhu Cihong wants to protect what he cherishes at this moment.
