The flag covers the sky, and the howl moves the ground. Zu Kefa led 15,000 Qing troops, like a tide, flocked to Chenqiao Town. According to the report of the traitors and their repeated investigations, Gu Zhenhua was in Chenqiao Town, with only 5,000 soldiers under his command, of which the main force of An ** only had three battalions, and the rest were all Kaifeng's troops.

After getting the news, Zu Kefa only felt that happiness had come too suddenly. Speaking of Gu Zhenhua, Zu Kefa couldn't help but grit his teeth. This guy built the Jingguan when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the most proud, and fried Kong Youde alive, and that smelly corpse, as long as he thought about it, he was cold.

When Kong Youde's body was sent back to the capital, his stepfather and ancestor Dashou did not eat for three consecutive days, and he would be awakened in his dreams, making him nervous, and most of them became a waste.

As soon as he thought of this, Zu Kefa gritted his teeth, as long as he didn't get rid of this prosperous and extremely murderous Gu Zhenhua, he was definitely the sworn enemy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the nightmare of traitors and thieves!

"The tiger also has a nap, surnamed Gu, you didn't expect it to fall into the hands of this general soldier!"

"Listen, everyone, kill into Chen Qiao, regardless of life or death, as long as Gu Zhenhua is killed, the general soldier will personally ask the regent for credit, and the official will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be 10,000 taels of silver!"

"Okay!"

These Qing soldiers all shouted loudly, and they galloped wildly, with Zu Kefa and Bayan rushing to the front.

"Lord General Soldier, after another hill, there is Chenqiao Town in front, there is not even a reconnaissance on the way, Gu Zhenhua uses troops like this, it can be seen that it was just a fluke in the past!" Bayan said wildly.

But just before his words fell, suddenly the red flag waved on the oncoming hill, the war drums sounded in unison, and a team slowly pressed up.

"Stop!"

Zukoffa waved his hand and stopped the soldier. He looked at the other side suspiciously.

At this moment, three neat phalanxes of infantry came down from the hillside, each with five hundred men up and down, with clear banners and majestic soldiers. In particular, the pace was amazingly consistent, and a group of infantry actually walked out of the strong sense of oppression that only cavalry has, which made Zu Kefa also surprised.

The three infantry phalanxes set up a zigzag formation on the hillside, and they were ready to fight, and a large number of soldiers rushed out of the two wings, but their banners were chaotic. The team is not in order, and it is far less shocking than the three phalanxes.

"We still underestimated Gu Zhenhua, he was prepared." Zu Kefa couldn't help but say.

Bayan looked again and again with a telescope, and couldn't help but sneer: "Lord Commander, what if he appears, we have more than 10,000 elite soldiers." And Gu Zhenhua is afraid that only those three battalions can be used, as long as these elites are broken, Gu Zhenhua will definitely be defeated. is not talented, and is willing to be the vanguard of this charge. ”

Zu Kefa observed it repeatedly, then nodded, "General Bayan be careful!" ”

"Don't worry!"

Bayan agreed, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates. Together. The Manchu forces were not sufficient, and most of Zu Kefa's subordinates had just surrendered, cut their braids, and became Qing troops. There are only two parts with the most combat effectiveness, one is the old Liaodong department that surrendered with him in the early years, and the other is the Han army banner led by Bayan.

Zu Kefa still has a lot of confidence in his own combat strength, and Zu Kefa put on a look of watching from the wall.

In order to show his bravery, Bayan did not carry out a tentative attack at all, and directly concentrated six or seven hundred elite horsemen and rushed towards An ** on the hillside.

"Kill. Rush, kill the bright dog! ”

These cavalrymen shouted loudly, the distance between the two sides continued to shorten, and the soldiers of An ** were still there, as if they hadn't seen anything. They sit neatly on the ground, keeping their bodies in shape.

When the Qing army entered about 200 steps, Zhou Yingjie gave an order: "The whole army stands up!" ”

With a bang, all the soldiers stood up together, their eyes fixed on the front, each of them moving unhurriedly, almost in unison, loaded with gunpowder, and knelt on one leg in the front row, aiming the black muzzle of their guns at the incoming enemy.

Seeing that the two sides had entered a distance of 100 paces, Zhou Yingjie shook the red flag in his hand suddenly, and the platoon gun was shot out.

The Qing army that rushed to the front didn't care, and when they saw that the opposite side had fired, they showed a smug smile. The firearms of the Ming army are just good-looking, shooting at a distance of thirty or fifty paces, it's useless, let alone a hundred steps, how can they be hit!

But before they could get complacent, the cavalry at the front seemed to be electrocuted, and blood splattered on their strong bodies, and more than a dozen of them fell under their horses.

The Qing army that can kill the armor and protect the body from a hundred steps away is actually very simple, and the gunpowder of An ** has made a huge innovation. The original powder gunpowder was changed to granular gunpowder. Don't look at it as a small step, but it has produced quite a qualitative change.

Powder gunpowder burns quickly, but unevenly, often one part burns, and the other part does not react, so after the explosion, a large amount of residue remains. It needs to be cleaned before it can be recharged.

Gu Zhenhua has also noticed this problem for a long time, but when he is running for his life, he can't care so much. After arriving in Xuzhou, An ** also began to produce gunpowder on his own, and at this time Gu Zhenhua proposed to build a granularized gunpowder.

Speaking of granular gunpowder is not complicated, the gunpowder is mixed with water, pressed into a uniform medicine cake, and then crushed, dried, and generally made into granular gunpowder.

However, this is still far from being able to be used on the battlefield. To improve the efficiency of gunpowder, it is necessary to make the particles as uniform and fine as possible. After the pellets are made, they have to go through repeated screening, passing through the powder and fine granules. It is then polished and then sifted. Seven times before and after, in order to ensure the maximum power.

The master craftsman also groped for more than a month before he came up with the first batch of qualified granular gunpowder. With the arrival of sulfur in Japan, An** produced gunpowder in large quantities, and the number of people was sufficient, and the production was basically processed into granular gunpowder with high power, less residue, and more efficient and reliable.

It was the first time that Ann ** really experienced the power of particle gunpowder, and the original firecracker had to risk shooting with a bow and arrow, but now it is completely useless, and in about a hundred steps, the lead shot will be lethal. After entering seventy or eighty steps, you can easily penetrate two layers of armor and break the enemy's bones and tendons.

The skillful three-stage shooting, coupled with the use of fixed gunpowder, increased the reloading by five or six times, and the soldiers did not have to care much at all, as long as they bit the paper bag open, poured the granular gunpowder into it, and it was completed in one qiē, and there was little residue, and the cleaning time was also saved a lot.

Relying on technological innovation, a dense fire network was built, and the Qing army was easily blocked fifty or sixty paces away, and they had no chance to shoot bows and arrows at all. The battlefield turned into a one-sided slaughter, and in the howl of pain, the Qing army fell in pieces, with stumps and broken arms, mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, and a large area was piled up in the blink of an eye.

The piercing dark red makes people's hearts tighten for a while. Bayan watched from a distance as his men were slaughtered one-sidedly, as if he had plucked his heart. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Qing troops were killed.

"Bastard! Rush me! ”

Bayan brandished his saber and beckoned all his subordinates to rush upwards together, this guy was like a gambler, eager to press together and turn over the book quickly.

Just when they were desperate, on the top of the mountain, there was originally a row of side vans, blocking everyone's view. At this time, the van car had quietly reached the halfway up the mountain, and the tail was connected, forming a strong long dragon.

On the top of the mountain, a hundred tiger squatting cannons were like a herd of beasts, looking down at the prey below, revealing the most hideous demeanor!

Gao Hongtu clutched the red flag tightly, his palms were already sweating, this was the first time in the artillery battalion, and he must not go on a business trip. Seeing that the Qing soldiers and horses were accumulating more and more, huddled together, the best time to attack had arrived.

"Put!"

The fire flickered, the cannon roared like thunder, a hundred tiger squatting cannons roared together, the earth trembled, and the Qing army didn't know what was going on, and the deadly shells came over.

In order to pursue the best killing effect, all grapes are used, and a cannonball is shot out, just like a goddess scattering flowers, killing a large area. More than a dozen Qing troops in the surrounding area were blown to pieces, and not a single one was left alive.

The lethality of a hundred shells can be imagined, and the most elite soldiers under Bayan were killed by five or six hundred at once. This is not a war at all, it is completely like a giant hand falling from the sky, directly erasing a piece of land.

Men and horses were blown apart, and various parts formed a bloody picture, which was particularly miserable and terrible. The Qing army, who was lucky enough to escape the blow, was already scared stupid, they grew their mouths, and blood flowed from their ears, they didn't believe that this would happen at all, hundreds of elite soldiers, all of a sudden, there were no more!

"Ahh

The person who couldn't stand the blow screamed in a hurry, turned around and ran, no one could restrain him, and even Bayan, who had always been rampant, was stupid at this time. There was only blood red in front of his eyes, and the occasional Qing army that was not dead was still struggling and howling.

In the deepest part of hell, in the midst of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, an evil spirit stretched out its blood-colored claws and howled desperately. Help me! Help me!

"My lord, retreat!"

His subordinates grabbed Bayan's horse reins, and Queen Cang withdrew, and the wolf fled to the back in a fit of rage.

Zu Kefa also saw the frightened and demented Bayan, in fact, in his heart, how could this not be the case, in his eyes, the Manchu iron cavalry is a symbol of invincibility, and the guns of the Han people are just some bluffing toys!

But the cruel reality made this traitor like a lightning strike, it turns out that firearms can still be used like this!

"My lord, what should we do, should we retreat?" The frightened subordinate asked quietly.

How do you know that Zu Kefa waved his hand and whipped it heavily on the face of this subordinate, hitting a blood groove.

"Fool, there are not many people, if you don't take advantage of the current time to eliminate them, no matter where you run, you will be pursued by them. Everyone listened to my orders, and the musketeers moved forward and fired at An**, and the cavalry protruded from both flanks and detoured back to An**'s flanks. ”

Zu Kefa said viciously: "Everyone remembers, either you die, or I live, if Gu Zhenhua is not eliminated in this battle, everyone will never be at peace in the future, do you want to follow the old road of Kong Youde?" ”
