Chapter 426: The Rogue Firearms

He Renlong originally rushed to the front position, this kind of pursuit battle should be easy to harvest a wave of thieves' heads in his mind, the tide of Ming troops from that city, most of them are pikemen to defend against possible thief cavalry, Wang Yanchen and the two were pulled down by He Renlong, he sighed and said: "This He madman runs faster than anyone else every time he arrives at this kind of victory" He complained. The two of them came to He Renlong's left flank.

"Hey, hey! It would be nice if that head-on battle He Madman could have such combat effectiveness," Wang Yanchen snorted and said, and then he said strangely: "Have you smelled that gunpowder smell in the air?" ”

"Hehe, you smell wrong, right? Could it be that the thieves are also armed with firearms? Cao Bianjiao laughed, he thought it was a funny joke, the thief was equipped with a firearm? How is this possible!

"Definitely! The thieves ransacked many cities and forced blacksmiths to build firearms for them. It's not surprising if there are firearms! Wang Yanchen said, and the firearms of the Ming army were shoddy because of the silver system of class craftsmen, and only the Ministry of Industry supervised the use of the border army and the Shenji battalion.

Bang bang bang!! A burst of fried beans suddenly sounded in the night sky, it was very abrupt, and the brilliant firelight could see the thieves in a neat queue, they were extremely swift and used the method of fixing gunpowder invented by Qi Jiajun to equip gunpowder with bamboo pipes, and quickly filled gunpowder with sophisticated bird guns, and in front of them were rows of shield cars made very shoddy, but they were very easy to use, just to resist the cluster of arrows shot by the Ming army, nailed to the wooden board, and the thieves hid in the shooting hole to shoot. They converted the shield cart used to resist firearms to use it for firearms soldiers, that is, with an additional shooting hole

Bang bang bangβ€”β€”β€”β€” the Ming troops in front of them fell down in rows like logs, they were holding spears in their hands, and they were going to resist the cavalry, but they were waiting for this firearm. With an unbelievable glint in his eyes, the thief with a firebolt? As if in a dream, a Ming soldier fell to the ground screaming, his intestines flowed to the ground, his eyes kicked like the eyes of a dead fish, and he looked at the thief filled with gunpowder in front of him.

Stampede β€”β€”β€”β€” a team of firearms soldiers changed from the mandarin duck formation to the firearms soldiers stepped forward, the two teams of firearms soldiers are about to start shooting each other, He Renlong commanded firearms soldiers have 1,500 people in two rows, the queue is very scattered, although they are very high in loading speed and combat literacy, but on weekdays they are trained are the sparse firearms of the Mandarin Duck array, how to practice this neat firearms, probably only the border army and the Shenji battalion use the firearms to fight.

Behind the archers of the Ming army, quickly pulled out a cluster of arrows from behind, all of them were light arrows, and there were two long hooks on the arrow clusters to ensure that after shooting the enemy, the enemy was not easy to pull out, and most of the short bows were used in their hands, which were quickly loaded with bows and arrows.

Whooshβ€”β€”β€”β€” thumpβ€”β€”β€”β€” arrows slashed through the night sky, and the sparse firebolts, bursts of fierce firelight came out, chilling their faces.

The arrows were nailed to the wooden plank of the car in front of the thief firearms soldier, and the projectiles of the firecracker had already neutralized part of the power of the wooden plank, and the thieves behind were shot from time to time, but they did not fall in pieces like the Ming army on the other side.

Bang bang bangβ€”β€”β€”β€” the firearms of the thieves on the opposite side were extremely neat, Zhang Wu nodded, but he didn't expect that the bamboo pipe invented by the Ming army himself didn't use the gunpowder himself, but Li Yan's subordinates used it, and this shield car is really easy to use! .

Flutteringβ€”β€”β€”β€” He Renlong's command immediately fell down a piece of people, and they fell to the ground screaming and screaming one after another.

"Fill the gap! Fill in the void for me! He Renlong brandished his steel knife and shouted frantically, saying that his subordinates were all full of horror, and the soldiers behind the vacancy in front did not dare to fill it at all. They shivered at the corpses of their companions, some of whom were filled with gunpowder because they were too nervous and overloaded.

The β€”β€”β€”β€” firebolt emitted a brilliant fire in the night sky, accompanied by a terrible scream from the firebolt hand.

"Hmph, the combat effectiveness of this group of Ming troops is okay, but how can they encounter the platoon so helpless!" Zhang Wu smiled and said, Li Yan snorted, "Most of the elites who master the platoon are the elite of the Ming army, how could the elite of the Ming army fight against He Renlong, so it is the first time they have encountered this fierce firecracker!" ”

"Well, indeed, they are good at mandarin duck formations and spear formations! When it comes to firearms, it's not as skilled as my rebels! Zhang Wu said with a smile, the thieves know how to use the shield car in front of the firearms, but He Renlong's army is very chaotic, because their enemies are basically thieves and thieves are not equipped with firearms on a large scale at all, and they are all good at cavalry.

He Renlong, who was walking in front, was hit in the right arm, and the blood immediately flowed out What was even more terrifying was that the wound was infected, he waved his left arm and shouted: "Quick, quick, shield hand, shield hand!" The two righteous sons walked up, and a pity flashed in He Shan's eyes. He Hai hurriedly came up to look at the wound and said, "Alas, my father-in-law, I said that I should train a bunch of guns!" ”

"Humph! Who knew that the thief's firearm was so strong, what a hell! He Renlong said horizontally, grinning in pain. Retreat, let's retreat the walls! He said.

"I'm afraid not, the thieves in the city and Li Zicheng's child soldiers are still fighting with them!" He Hai said, He Renlong snorted and said, "Hmph! Whatever! Are you waiting to die here? Rogue firearms are so sharp! In another half an hour, we will be able to enter the Martyrs' Shrine! ”

"No, the Ming army behind won't let us retreat!" He Hai said in horror, and the crowd saw Mi Heng standing at the front behind, with a thousand and five military camps under him, and said, "Don't retreat!" Death to those who retreat," he said, directing his men to form a sword and shield formation!

He Renlong swallowed his saliva when he saw the Ming army like the warlord's team, and could only turn around and look at the rows of thieves under his command who fell like logs and approached the firearms, and said, "Damn, it's a death before and after!" "The gap on the right was also blocked by a cavalry of the thieves, and it was impossible to escape from the right.

"Father-in-law! Remember what I said! On the side, his righteous son He Shan suddenly said He Renlong's expression was suddenly solemn, and the noisy firearms suddenly quieted down, naturally thinking about Li Zicheng's surrender, he glanced at the Ming army behind him, and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" "He Renlong understands very well that joining the rebel army is to be chased and beaten everywhere, how can he be comfortable as an official army!

He Shan snorted and stopped talking, at this moment, there were many people in the military array who were dissatisfied with the serious military discipline imposed by Qin Xiaochuan, but they were still too far away from them to take refuge in Li Zicheng He waved his hand coldly in his heart.

A young man in the team who looked fifteen years old in the armor of the Shandong Army raised the handcuff in his hand, with a solemnity in his eyes.

With a β€”β€”β€”β€” bang, gunpowder smoke rose from his mouth and He Renlong fell on his back, He Shan on the side was full of grief and indignation, and went to hug He Renlong, probed his nose and said, "Dead!" The father-in-law was killed by the Shandong army" He quickly rushed forward and killed the child soldier who pretended to be the Shandong army, but the man had disappeared in the chaotic flow of people, and said angrily: "The father-in-law just didn't charge forward, he was killed by the Shandong army!" You mad demons! ”

He Renlong had a terrifying hole in his chest, and blood from his intestines flowed out of it, staining the ground in front of him red. His eyes were still stunned.

The generals under the command of He Renlong in the vicinity all cried, and He Shan said: "Father-in-law!" He threw himself on the corpse and cried. ”

"Fight with them" Many of He Renlong's diehards said so, and everyone was furious, and the main general who played the striker for them was killed in the end, how could they not be angry.

"Don't come nonsense, when the time comes, see what Qin Xiaochuan says, I believe he will give justice to his brothers" He Hai is voice came out and began to win people's hearts, and the crowd began to stabilize. He Shan glanced at him, his eyes showed inexplicable hatred, his eyes were ruthless, it was not the right time at this moment, he looked around and saw that many people who were about to move retreated.

*

"Why hasn't the shadow moved?" Li Zicheng stood on the hill, looking at the city in front of him with an inexplicable expectation in his tone, and Niu Jinxing on the side smiled and said, "Don't worry about King Chuang, it may be that the dark son feels that the time has not yet come!" ”

"The success or failure of this battle is here!" Li Zicheng said, otherwise he could only expect the sad Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong to defeat the other party's Shandong nest.

"King Chuang doesn't seem to have much confidence in Li Qingshan and the two of them!" Luo Rucai said with a smile, Li Zicheng glanced at him, "Indeed, this Qin Xiaochuan is unexpected, not once or twice!" ”

"Huh! I think even if we lose this battle in Kaifeng City! Shandong will not be defeated! He's strong enough for a total soldier! "Luo Rucai said so!" Can he be stronger? ”

"Definitely! It turns out that you thought the same way before you beat his auxiliaries," Li Zicheng said, and he also laughed, with bitterness.

"Huh! King Chuang is too worried! If he still has an elite soldier, it won't be that we are afraid of him! Chongzhen will be more jealous of him than we are! Luo Rucai said with a smile. Can a general soldier still have 100,000 elite soldiers? ”

"Chongzhen!" Li Zicheng thought that the stronger the other party, not only was he more jealous, but Emperor Ming was definitely more jealous than himself.

*

Li Yan waved his hand and let go of the cavalry surrounding the left and right wings, so that the soldiers and horses of He Renlong and others had a route to escape. Cao Bianjiao and the others looked at Bai Guangen, who was gone, and said angrily: "Damn, it seems that my Ming Dynasty is going to have another general who has escaped!" Aren't you afraid of being cut by General Qin! ”

"Hehe, you look at the direction of his escape, I think he will probably not go back to Kaifeng, he will probably flee back to Biansai!" Wang Yanchen snorted and said that there is nothing the court can do to fight back against this kind of rout general, because you still have to count on the other party to fight the border.

He Renlong's army also began to flee immediately, and Mi Heng kept shouting in the back, but these people fled from both sides of the military formation, but the thieves did not chase at all. Attack Cao Bianjiao and others with all his might.

He Shan was running at the front, and he was still spreading words that were unfavorable to Qin Xiaochuan, and when he saw that he was close to Mi Heng's troops, he stopped talking, and he couldn't see He Hai's figure on the side, but he had already died in battle.

The sound of firearms was endless, and the troops of Rao is elite Cao Bianjiao and the two were also on the verge of collapse under this firearm. They were not prepared for the shield carts that would ward off the firearms, and the thieves' firearms came too suddenly.

Cao Bianjiao and the two kept shouting, kept shouting, and the sound of the thief's fire rang out one after another.

collapsed, and the elite troops of the two also collapsed under the firearms of the thieves, and they shouted wildly, but they couldn't resist the wave of collapse at all, and they ran away when they were resisted by their own soldiers. Cao Bianjiao snorted coldly: "General Ben doesn't run, put me down quickly, I will fight to the death with the thieves!" ”

"Don't fight, general, you can't stop it at all" The pro-soldier channeled: "The thief's firearms are too fierce"

"You!" Cao Bianjiao's eyes were full of anger, and he said, "Let me down, otherwise General Ben will kill you!" The soldier's eyes were full of determination, and he said, "Even if the general kills me, I won't let go."

Cao Bianjiao took out a short knife from his waist, but looking at the other party's firm expression, he really couldn't do anything but kept shouting.

On the side, Wang Yanchen was knocked unconscious by his own subordinates, and ran straight back, but their collapsed subordinates consciously hugged the two of them, resisting the arrows and lead bullets shot behind them.

"The Ming army has been defeated," Zhang Wu said with a smile, "no matter how powerful the army is, it will be shaken when it bears more than fifty percent of the casualties, and the six achievements will collapse!" This is the human heart! The Ming army in front of him was good, and it was defeated after more than seventy percent of the casualties! ”

"There is still an army in front of you that has not surrendered!" The soldiers on the side said, pointing to the dim battlefield in front of them, but there was still an army where Li was standing upright.

"Go and persuade to surrender!" Zhang Wu said, calculating the time, to take the city wall with the money of the Qingzhou army out of the city, so that the righteous army can enter the city and form a situation of street fighting.

The pro-soldier stepped forward and shouted, "The Ming army on the other side listen, lay down your arms, and throw. "Flutter! There was a sound of arrows slamming into the flesh, and the thief fell to the ground with an arrow cluster stuck in his chest.

"Up!" Zhang Wu said, and the soldiers under his command continued to charge forward.

*

The rising sun shone on this wilderness, a bad smell of blood dispersed, an army of more than forty people, they were like bloody people, the blood stained their armor red, and they couldn't see the original color, everyone was wounded, but they still maintained this round military formation, and Mi Heng, who was the leader, had a few arrows stuck in his body but still maintained the strict order of the military formation, and his handsome face was only up and down at the moment, and blood was dripping down his right arm.

Zhang Wu looked at the left flank, Wang Yanchen Cao Bianjiao's army had collapsed, and any elite would collapse if they were killed or injured to a certain extent, he originally believed it so much, but he turned his mind to look at the army in front of him, but his face was extremely dignified Why are they still insisting.

I don't know how many corpses there are, countless corpses, and the thieves who are already afraid to come forward, they besiege the city Zhang Wu stood at the front, looked at the Ming army in front of him with an inexplicable expression, and said, "You surrender!" You are already worthy of Zhu Ming and Qin Xiaochuan! Surrender to our rebels, and in the future become our brothers in the old battalion! ”·

"How can we wait for the officers and soldiers to surrender the thieves," Mi Yu said with difficulty, he was no longer as absent as usual, but stared coldly at Zhang Wu in front of him!

"Humph!" Zhang Wu waved his hand, and the cavalry under his command was about to carry out a wave of charge, and for some reason when he saw the group of people in front of him, his heart was very uncomfortable.

You Heng supported his body vigorously, raised his spear, and said: "The thief cavalry is about to charge, the pikeman is in front" He clenched a spear in his hand and faced the thief in front of him!

Kill Kill Kill β€”β€”β€”β€”, Rogues Cavalry surged over like a black torrent, and they began to impact like a black torrent.

A cavalry suddenly came out of the city β€”β€”β€”β€” trampling, it was Ipsilon, the plate armor of his knights was like an iron man, and the war horse under him was also wrapped in iron armor, leaving only a pair of eyes that exuded coldness, and the war horse emitted a burst of horses, and the sound of horses' hooves was extremely dull. The rogue cavalry retreated.

Xiao Chuan stood at the head of the city, looking at the bloody battlefield underground, silent, and behind him was the crying Cao Bianjiao, if it weren't for Xiao Chuan stopping Cao Bianjiao just now, he would have committed suicide at this moment, and said: "I don't blame you, this battle is a thief, firearms are too strong" Xiao Chuan was also helpless last time Li Zicheng's firearms troops were hit by himself, but he didn't expect the other party to specialize in developing firearms, and he made such a bird soldier to catch him off guard.

The enemies of the Ming army were the thieves and the Houjin, they had no one to master the powerful firearms troops, and the Houjin were mostly artillerymen, and they used to use firearms to beat the thieves and beat others.

Looking at He Shan on the side, he ran to blame him, and he didn't say much when he saw that the other party even killed the main general. said: "What about Bai Guangen? ”

"It seems to have run north," said a person on the side, Xiao Chuan sighed helplessly, and ran away like this! Or deliberately run north, I'm afraid I ran back to the side plug directly.
