His eyes swept over the soldiers of the First Association under his command, Zhang Guodong instantly thought of the time when he first joined the Nine-Headed Bird, and thought of the first time he went with the team to suppress bandits, when he held the bird gun, how nervous he was in his heart.

And now, with 5,000 men, he is facing the desperate breakthrough of the Qing Tartar Emperor.

"Today, let's have a good time! Kill the Tartars and capture Huang Taiji! ”

"Kill the Tartars, capture Huang Taiji!"

Zhang Guodong rode his horse and slowly ran in front of the formation, chanting over and over again. With his shouting, the soldiers in front of the battle responded loudly, shouting over and over again, and the morale of the Chu army became more and more high.

When Zhang Guodong rode his horse back to the formation, the mountain howitzer arrays arranged on both sides of the large array had already begun to bombard the Qing army, and at the same time, the artillery arrays from the west and south began to join the bombardment to provide artillery support for the friendly forces in the north.

The artillery of the Chu army roared in unison, roaring like hail and smashing down on the Qing army, ten rounds, hundreds of rounds, one after another, volleying and exploding, turning into countless shotguns in an instant, innumerable.

Many of the charging Qing soldiers were shot and fell off their horses, and their roars turned into screams.

At this time, the second wave of shrapnel had already flown over them, and exploded again, and countless Qing soldiers were shot and fell off their horses.

The firecrackers on the front have already raised their flintlocks.

The swan horn sounded, followed by the whistle of the company commanders.

The sound of fried beans sounded one after another, and the guns in the front row of the phalanx shot the first shot, and then immediately turned to the back row of the phalanx from the space between the squares, and the guns in the second row stepped forward at this time, then put the guns, and then retreated, and the third row was connected, and then the guns were released in unison in the whistle, and then continued to the next row.

Each phalanx was exactly a company, divided into nine rows. Every third row is a team. The platoon is also the most basic establishment of the Chu army's company and infantry, under the fierce blow of artillery grenades, the Qing army suffered great damage when charging, and the charging formation was also blown up.

In order to avoid being heavily wounded by shrapnel during a dense charge, they had to spread their formation apart.

"Get on the bayonet!"

With the support of a large number of artillery, the speed of the Qing army was delayed and their formation was scattered, but the light infantry of the Chu army still fired only three bullets each, and the Qing army had already rushed to the front.

However, the Chu army had long been equipped with sleeved bayonets.

Hearing the order, the well-trained Hydra light infantry took their bayonets from their waists one after another. Sleeve on the barrel. One by one, the array of guns quickly formed a large bayonet array, and the flintlock guns and bayonets immediately became a spear.

The heavy infantry reinforced the perimeter of the light infantry's large array of ring bayonets, providing a layer of protection for the light infantry with large shields and spears.

The combination of firecrackers and bayonets made the firecrackers change their previous weak image and greatly improved their combat effectiveness.

The bright bayonets lit up, making the infantry array look like a huge steel hedgehog, and the light infantry erected bayonets one after another. Hide behind the iron shields of the heavy infantry and stand by for battle.

Abatai led the most elite Bayala heavy cavalry in a wedge-shaped formation, withstanding heavy artillery fire. Finally rushed to the front of the battle. In the face of those long guns equipped with bayonets, people did not stop sprinting, did not dodge, and went on a rampage.

Sharp bayonets burst out of the chest. Many of the bayalas died as a result.

At least hundreds of Baja soldiers were killed, and Abatai's mount was pierced by a bayonet through the neck, and it hissed to its feet. Stretching out his iron hooves and kicking wildly, he leaped into the formation like a frenzy.

Countless bayonets stabbed at it in all directions, dripping the blood of the horses. However, the shield array of the heavy infantry also collapsed abruptly under its weight.

Several Hydra Light Infantry hurriedly dodged the warhorse, which was still struggling wildly.

The war horse fell with a bang, blood stained the ground, but Abatai, who was wearing heavy armor, stood up from the ground unscathed, holding a heavy sword high, and launched a crazy attack.

The Qing army behind also rushed in before the gap in the shield array could close.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Abatai shouted.

"Short Gun Shot! Plug the gap! Seeing that the Qing army was so fierce, the shouts of the non-commissioned officers immediately sounded in the formation. The experienced non-commissioned officers issued new orders in time, and took the lead in pulling out the short guns that had been loaded in advance at their waists, and pulled the trigger against the Qing troops who rushed into the formation.

Bang.

Abatai's body shook, and his wildly wielding sword came to a halt.

There was a double bang.

A Chu Jun who was lying at his feet held a short gun and hit his thigh directly.

Bang!

A Chu military gunner standing behind Abatai also took out his short gun and shot at Abatai.

Bang bang bang!

After several more shots, Abatai was bombarded by the surrounding nine-headed bird gunners for more than a dozen shots in the blink of an eye. The three-layer armor can't stop this kind of close-up shooting, or so many guns.

Bang!

Another gun, this one, was shot directly at his neck.

Abatai's neck and half of his jaw were shattered, and the whole person fell to the ground with a bang, and he couldn't die anymore.

Those who desperately rushed into the Ming army's formation, as well as those who were trying to tear apart the Ming army's formation, were all stunned by the Chu army's short guns.

Each person has two short guns, and when they are in this kind of close combat, they suddenly pull out, and God can't stop them, not to mention that each person has two short guns. This short gun, which was originally developed for cavalry, is now used by Liu Jun to equip infantry extravagantly.

No rope is used, flint is ignited. Although in close combat, it can often only be fired once, and it is difficult to reload. But this time was enough, countless Qing troops died under this short gun, and even more than the previous platoon guns.

Bayonet plus short gun. The short bullet was empty, and the Chu army directly took out the grenade in the grenade bag on his body, lit the fuse, and threw it into the Qing army that rushed up intensively outside the formation. From time to time, rumbling grenades exploded in the Qing army groups, which were more lethal than handcuffs.

The Chu army quickly repelled the first batch of Qing troops.

Huang Taiji watched his brother be knocked down by the guns and grenades, and then watched as a Ming soldier drew a knife and knocked off Abatai's helmet, and then chopped off Abatai's head with a knife, and then raised it high, standing there with excitement and roaring.

"No!"

Huang Taiji roared.

Huang Taiji raised his head to the sky and roared, he raised his sword and pointed forward, leading the Qing army to continue to attack.

At this time, the Chu army had quickly repaired the torn front again.

Under the onslaught of the cavalry, the infantry phalanx would have been unable to withstand it and would definitely collapse.

But this time, this nine-headed bird's infantry formation gave the Qing army a glimpse of what it means to be hard-boned. The nine-headed bird also made the Qing army see that the Chu army does not just pick soft persimmons and pinch, and at a critical time, the Chu army may also fight to the end.

In the past, the Chu army liked to avoid the real and make up for nothing, which does not mean that the Chu army cannot fight a hard battle.

Today, the Chu army directly confronts the most ferocious Eight Banners in the world, and does not fall behind at all.

The artillery was still throwing shells, and the Chu troops of the three associations in the south and west were not looking at the scenery. They quickly copied from the two loaves and continued to advance towards the Qing army.

The Qing army became more and more frenzied, and if they could not break through the interception in the north, they could only be held here.

A Qing army general was unwilling to lead a team of cavalry did not know whether to describe stupidity or bravery, he rushed directly towards the artillery array, but was sprayed by a burst of shotguns, pieces of shotguns sprayed out, the cavalry was knocked off the horse, the leading Qing general was hit in the chest by a cannonball, the shell smashed his armor dented, the bones of his entire chest were broken, bleeding from the seven orifices, and he died instantly.

The cavalry guarding the artillery emplacements fought from both sides, and the sharp sabers mercilessly harvested the cavalry that had suffered heavy casualties from the shotguns. The cavalry of the Chu army galloped on the battlefield, and the cavalry waved their cavalry and shot their opponents to the ground one by one.

At this time, Huang Taiji also rushed into the battle formation of the Ming army, a Ming soldier stabbed him in the chest with a bayonet, Huang Taiji waved his long sword, and the bayonet was opened, and the Chu soldier retreated, intending to stab again, but Huang Taiji had already turned the horse's head and trampled him under the horse.

He saw that the Ming soldier spat blood out of his mouth, but there was no fear or panic in the man's eyes, but they were bright. The man grabbed one of his horse's legs with one hand, and then raised a short hammer with the other.

Huang Taiji saw a flash of fire, his war horse screamed, and the mad man stood up. Huang Taiji tried to stabilize himself, but the war horse fell to the ground screaming, and the shot did not hit him, but it shot his war horse in the stomach.

The world is spinning.

Huang Taiji felt that his whole person was dizzy.

Then he felt a sharp pain in one of his legs, and then he realized that the horse had fallen to the ground, crushing one of his legs under him, and he felt that his leg had been broken.

A bayonet stabbed violently, and Huang Taiji swung his knife to block.

With a clang, the bayonet swung open.

One bayonet swung away, but more bayonets stabbed again.

Huang Taiji blocked left and right, barely supporting.

"Escort! Protect the Emperor! ”

Seeing that the emperor was actually pressed to the ground by a war horse and besieged by a group of Ming troops, a Bayala hurriedly shouted and called his companions to come to the rescue.

Huangtai Ji, who was struggling to support, was shocked when he heard the shout, and it was over.

Sure enough, as soon as the man shouted, the surrounding Ming troops erupted into an excited roar. Without that shout, none of them knew that this unlucky bastard was the Tartar Emperor.

"The Tartar Emperor is here, come on, brothers!"

"Kill the Tartar Emperor!"

"Bang!"

With a bang, Huang Taiji, who was swinging a knife, was hit in the head, and half of his head was exploded.

There was a sudden silence around.

No one expected that after being stunned for a while, everyone turned their heads in unison and began to look for which gun was fired.

A very young nine-headed bird, in his twenties, and holding a short gun with a smoking gun in his hand, stood only seven or eight steps away from Huang Taiji. He heard someone shouting that it was Huang Taiji right away, and he heard someone shouting to kill the Tartar Emperor, so in his excitement, he pulled out the second short gun with bullets, and without thinking about anything, he shot a gun at it.

"I killed the Tartar Emperor." Hu Kai muttered, read it a few times, and he suddenly shouted excitedly, "I killed the Tartar Emperor, I killed the Tartar Emperor!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

The Qing troops who happened to witness all this nearby were all mourned. The emperor died like this, and was beaten to death by a pawn of the Ming army. (To be continued.) )
