Chapter 199: Exploding
Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, how can you not work hard for such a good opportunity?
The Ming troops who rushed into the camp shouted and cursed all kinds of slogans and fought with the enemy army, and the scene was extremely hot and enthusiastic, not to mention participating in it.
"Quick! Put! Hurry up! The prince is gone! Zhao Mingchen, the commander in charge of fire cover, also anxiously urged his soldiers to set off cannons and bombard the rear of the Uighur army, providing fire cover for the prince and other brothers who rushed into the enemy camp.
Zhao Mingchen is an old subordinate of the former general Li Mian, and he also has a lot of experience in firearms, so Zhu Ao specially transferred him to provide fire cover for his sneak attack troops. Zhao Mingchen had originally fired firearms in a step-by-step manner according to the previous rhythm, and with their advantage in firearms, they could completely suppress the Uighur army, so there was no need to be particularly anxious, but what he never expected was that the prince actually led people over in person.
In this way, no matter how big Zhao Mingchen's heart is, he will not dare to fire the cannon step by step like before, he must provide the largest amount of firepower cover for the prince, if the prince has any mistakes, their death a hundred times is not enough to atone for their sins. What's more, the prince rushed over, which means that he attaches great importance to this battle, if he doesn't hurry up, it will be inconsistent with the leader, it is a very dangerous thing, and he will not be mixed up in the future?
Therefore, he urged his soldiers again and again to speed up the frequency of shooting, not only to provide a larger-scale cover for the prince, but also to show his attitude to the prince, I, Zhao Mingchen, will always be the same as the prince, where the prince's sword is pointed, I will hit it fiercely!
However, not everything in this world will go as planned, and fate always likes to joke. Just when Zhao Mingchen was anxiously urging his subordinates to fire the cannon, a big general's cannon couldn't hold it because the frequency of combat was too frequent, so he picked it on the spot.
People just don't do it, lie on the ground and sleep, but the way the general cannons pick the pickers is very simple and rude - blow up the bore!
"Boom!" There was a loud bang on the ground, and the general's cannon exploded on the spot, and none of the Ming troops around it were spared, all of them were blown to pieces, and the fragments of their limbs were scattered all over the ground. In order to fire faster, these Ming troops did not withdraw when ignition, they gambled on their own lives, and unfortunately they lost the bet.
The disaster did not stop, the general cannon is the largest artillery of the Ming army, the amount of gunpowder is the largest, and there are many ammunition reserves nearby, the explosion of this general cannon ignited the gunpowder near it, and then ignited more gunpowder, causing a series of chain reactions, and the firearms battalion position of the Ming army appeared one after another burning and exploding fireballs, and then converged into a huge fireball.
"Boom!" As soon as there was a sound on the ground, there was a huge noise from the position of the Ming army's firearms battalion, like a thunderstorm in the nine days, which made people can't help but be frightened, as if the nearby mountains were also shaken, and then the firearms battalion in the rear of the Ming army turned into a sea of fire, with countless dead and wounded, and there were broken hands and feet everywhere, even the commander Zhao Mingchen was not spared, and the body could not even be found after the bombing.
This sudden drastic change shocked all the Ming troops, they were first shocked, and then frightened, everyone couldn't believe what was happening in front of them, and the firearms battalion that was still fierce and domineering just now was actually reimbursed at this moment?
The vanguard of the Ming army that attacked the Uighur army camp did not know the situation in the rear, did not know that the huge explosion was caused by the explosion of the general's cannon, and thought that the Uighur army was also equipped with cannons or sharper artifacts, and suddenly hit the ammunition box of the Ming army's firearms battalion, which in turn caused a huge explosion.
Zhu Ao was also startled when he heard the loud noise behind him, and when he turned his head to look at the position behind him, he couldn't help but smack his tongue, why did the firearms battalion that was fine just now fall into a sea of fire and wipe out the whole army? Zhu Hao clearly saw that the Uighur army's northern front position was not equipped with artillery and other weapons, because after a little thought, he understood that it must be caused by the explosion of artillery on his side.
However, according to the current situation, it no longer matters what caused the explosion of the firearms battalion, and if he wants to find out the cause of the accident, he must do something more important and urgent -- a safe exit.
It's not that Zhu Ao is cowardly and afraid, people with a little common sense know that according to the current situation, this battle is impossible to fight, the rear is in chaos, everyone is terrified, and the spirit of going straight into the enemy camp just now has all turned into panic, dazedness, and trembling now, how can they continue to fight?
Sure enough, the Ming army, which reacted a few seconds later, was shocked, and retreated like a tide, rushing to retreat, because everyone knew that such a big thing happened, this battle would definitely not be able to fight, the enemy army would definitely counterattack, and their side would definitely withdraw their troops.
It doesn't matter if you make a big statement or make a contribution, your own life is the most important thing.
"Don't quit! Give me all back, stick to your post! The prince is still here! When Zhang Long, the general, saw that the Ming army, which was still like a wolf and a tiger just now, had now become such a virtuous person, he couldn't help but feel angry and angry. It's really unlucky, I see that I'm about to succeed, and I actually finished this file, does God have to go against me and make me unable to get out in my life?
However, the chaotic Ming army did not stop its defeat and retreat because of the reprimand of the second-rank general, and changed the rear team to the front team, and retreated back in defeat along the ladder they had climbed with the steps of the victor.
"Ugh! Yikes! The sound of two swords entering the flesh came, and the retreating Ming army temporarily stopped its retreating steps, and turned to look at the scene in front of them with a more frightened eye.
Zhu Ao, who was originally standing at the back of the attacking force, was furious when he saw this scene, and he was deeply angry at the panic shown by the army on which he had high hopes, although he could also understand the psychology of being a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but this by no means meant that he could accept it. He spent so much money to raise an army, if everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, then what is the use of raising soldiers?
Zhu Ao cut off the heads of the two defeated soldiers he stabbed to death, ordered the guards around him to hang on their spears to show the public, and then stabilized the army's heart by saying only one sentence to the retreating Ming army: "Death to those who retreat!" His face was hideous, his expression was fierce, and his eyes seemed to be on fire, as if he wanted to eat this group of routs.
After a short period of hesitation, they finally confirmed that this prince was more terrifying, and they turned around one after another to fight the Uighur army that rushed up.
Zhu Ao is not a war maniac, let alone a madman, the current situation does not need any military minds, as long as people with long eyes can see that this battle is impossible to fight, and must retreat, but Zhu Ao wants to retreat, not defeat.
In this case, he must deter the whole army, and then organize the troops to slowly retreat, if they run in a swarm, then in the end no one will be able to escape.
"What are you doing? A group of cowards, hurry up to Lao Tzu, listen to the command of the prince, and slowly retreat! Zhang Long saw that Zhu Ao stabilized the situation, he was really relieved in his heart, and secretly admired the decisiveness and ruthlessness of this young prince, and after coming back to his senses, he found that a few soldiers were still standing still, as if they had not reacted, and he burst into a fire in his heart, and kicked them twice in the buttocks.
After Zhang Long's scolding, the soldiers barely came back to their senses, and immediately turned around reluctantly and rushed forward with the team.
"Zhang Long, you command the team to withdraw first, and this king will break off for you!" Zhu Ao watched the Ming army restore order, and his heart suddenly felt relaxed, although he cherished his life very much, but as the king of these people, he really couldn't do anything to throw them behind and run first. After all, he planned this sneak attack, and since he brought these soldiers here, he should bring them back well.
But how can Zhang Long agree to this matter, he has already been punished once for losing the prince, how dare he let the prince risk his life this time, if the prince has any mistakes, even if the military law does not kill him, he will not have the face to see people again, and immediately replied with a very resolute attitude: "No!" After the end of the world is interrupted, the prince will withdraw first! ”
"You are not here, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, this plan was conceived by this king, since this king has brought the brothers here, he must be responsible for them to the end, how can he slip away halfway?" Zhu Ao's temper was not too good, coupled with the situation at this time, the anger was naturally soaring, seeing that Zhang Long, who had always obeyed orders, openly disobeyed orders today, although he knew that he was for his own good, but he couldn't hold back the fire and wanted him to bear him. This Zhang Long also underestimates this king too much, and this king is not muddy, so it will be dangerous to go up?
After that, without waiting for Zhang Long to reply, he led his own soldiers to rush forward to help the Ming army at the front stabilize their position.
How could Zhang Long really throw the prince behind and run away by himself, and said to a thousand households beside him: "You are responsible for guarding these ladders, so that the brothers can slowly retreat, and if you dare to compete for the crowded, you will be killed!" After that, he didn't wait for the Qianhu to answer, and quickly led his guards to chase after him.
A Ming saber and shield soldier who was still fighting bravely just now panicked because of the big explosion in the rear, and when he fought with a Uighur spearman on the opposite side, his hands trembled for a while, and his sword was picked apart, and he was kicked in the heel by the other party.
