Section 450 Flame burial
Zhu Qian pulled the reins with one hand, let the horses slowly go out of the camp gate, and then walked towards the enemy.
Only one person left the camp, and judging by the color of his uniform, the enemy thought that this was the highest-ranking officer in the battalion.
When he left the barracks, his sword had been thrown on the ground, and it was impossible for such an officer to carry a crossbow or something like that, and as for the small bags on the horses, the enemy did not think that these were terrible weapons.
Zhu Qian has been enduring it, enduring an opportunity to use the Flame Thunder.
At least he thinks that this is a very suitable opportunity, he doesn't care about his life for a long time, anyway, after this battle, it is unknown whether he will be able to return to the army alive.
The adjutant general who was kneeling on the ground did not dare to raise his head, he was afraid to see the scene of Zhu Qian going to his death.
When his guards came to help him up, they heard him say, "Go and tell all your brothers that you are ready to fight to the death." No means! In particular, he added a sentence of inappropriate means, but it startled the guard. But when he looked up at Zhu Qian, who was slowly advancing with his horse, he thought that this might be General Zhu Qian's strategy to delay the army.
The guard was also a clever man, and he quickly passed on the news.
All the soldiers in front of the battalion who could be seen did not move, and then the soldiers in the rear battalion began to prepare, and a few even strapped explosive bags to their bodies.
When the brave meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, but when the brave meets the one who is not afraid of death, who wins?
There was a hint of a smile on the face of the Khan of Turpan, he came out with all his elite, naturally he didn't just stop for one or two battles, his goal was to break into the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty thinking that he would get enough wealth and even get some land, and when he defeated the Ming Dynasty again, the Hamiwei of the Ming Dynasty might be his own.
Zhu Qian's advance was not hindered. No one will stop an unarmed enemy commander.
When the horse came to a position thirty paces away, Zhu Qian was stopped.
"Would you like to surrender?" The Turpan Khan asked loudly.
Zhu Qian asked rhetorically: "Is it to a timid person?" Zhu Qian couldn't help coughing a few times when he spoke, there was blood in his palm, and he stretched his hand forward: "Descend to a timid person who is afraid of even me, a person who is about to die?" β
Whether it is the Khan of Tulupan or the eldest son of Yexian, he can't hold his face at this time.
The chief general of the Ming army estimated that he was injured in something, and the melee just now was a bit chaotic, only to see the Ming army retreat to the camp. It is also not clear whether the chief general is injured.
waved his hand and motioned for Zhu Qian to step forward.
When Zhu Qian's horse came to the front of the five steps, he spoke: "I know you, you used to be in the civil fort!" β
The eldest son laughed loudly, and it was obvious that the battle had played out their mighty spurs.
Zhu Qian also smiled: "Do you know why I came here?" Why are you standing before you? β
"Because you Ming people are too weak, so weak that you can only survive by praying. But this time, I agree to give you a chance to live. The eldest son said proudly.
Zhu Qian shook his head: "I came here for two reasons, one is that I am dying, and I don't have enough body anymore. The second is that I want you to die with me. β
Zhu Qian's words made the faces of people who could understand Chinese change greatly.
Zhu Qian looked indifferent, and slashed his left hand on the saddle. The match in his hand immediately caught fire, and then his right hand ignited the forbidden weapon, the Bone-Eater Fire. At the moment when the Turpan Khan was in a daze, he threw it over, and his current body could only throw the distance of five steps.
One of the Turpan Khan's guards swung his sword to block it.
In the eyes of the people of Turpan, this flame was a joke at all, but Zhu Qian laughed loudly, and after the matches in his hand lit the bags on both sides of the horse, he threw a bag on the ground. The other was held high above his head.
This moment only happened in a matter of seconds.
The Khan of Turpan, who had flames splashed on his body, did not realize how dangerous the fire was, and still sat on his horse and waited for his guards to help him extinguish this inconspicuous little flame.
But a miserable scream made his face turn pale. The eldest son next to him was screaming with his hands over his face. With his hands waving wildly, more flames fell on him. Before he could exclaim, a loud noise came from Zhu Qian's raised hand, and countless pieces of iron flew out like a torrential rain.
Seeing that one of Zhu Qian's arms was blown away and his head was blown open, there was still a smile on his face.
The flames on his body cannot be extinguished. They hadn't heard of the Bone-Eater Fire yet.
At this moment, the war drums in the Daming military camp were thundering, and the entire military camp was like crazy, and countless soldiers rushed to the front camp.
The cannon sounded, and the twenty-four guns were fired in unison at the same time.
Feet. Zhu Qian threw down the ordinary fierce fire oil incendiary bomb that had ignited the underground trap, and the continuous explosion sound shook the sky, and the soaring flames also made Zhu Qian be engulfed in flames.
The army of Turpan was in disarray, and none of their commanders, their nobles, nor the nobles of the Waspurs, nor the eldest son of the Waspur Yexian escaped, and they were all surrounded by the flames of hell. Before any of them could reorganize their army, all the people in the Ming camp in front of them had already rushed out.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty naturally fought with all their might.
But not only the soldiers, but also the cooks rushed out with knives like crazy.
"We have an army of 150,000 to kill these Ming troops!" A thousand-man commander shouted, regrouping his men and preparing to stabilize the formation.
At this time, all of the left vanguards, except for the people from the Tianyin Battalion, had entered a semi-crazy state.
A soldier with a broken arm on a horse rushed up directly with an explosive bag on his back, and the thousand-man commander was still shouting, but his reorganized army of hundreds of people did not wait for it to be organized, and the suicide attack explosive bag not only killed him, but also made these hundreds of people chaotic.
Robbers can't fight against the wind, they're used to fighting with the wind.
Facing the crazy Ming army, the soldiers in the front row began to flee back, which also disrupted the military formation behind.
Crazy, but calm.
Fan Liang, who was communicating with Yu Qian about why the soldiers in Turpan appeared here, heard the change in the front camp, and he didn't have time to feel Zhu Qian's desperate blow. grabbed Zhu Qian's adjutant: "Get up, you and I will each take a cavalry and bypass the enemy troops, even if we are desperate, we will ruin the enemy's baggage." β
Zhu Qian's adjutant jumped up with a scream, snatched two white phosphorus incendiary bombs, then loaded the horses with some fierce fire oil, and then carried an explosive bag on his back. "Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!" Hundreds of knights responded immediately, and brought fierce fire oil, explosive thunder, hand cannons, and steel knives from the logistics soldiers, and began to outflank them from the left and right in two ways, they had already made up their minds, since the main general, General Zhu Qian, could fight with his life and die with the enemy, why couldn't they.
The telegraph in front of Yu Qian, who was still waiting for news in the big tent of the Chinese army, had not had the slightest news about the Zuo Feng battalion for almost half an hour.
Yu Qian couldn't sit still, got up and walked to Bai Minghe: "Under what circumstances can the Tianyin machine be damaged?" β
"It won't be lightly damaged, and even if it's damaged, it can be easily repaired. If there is no information, then it is not the Tianyin machine that has a problem, but the left forward battalion that has a problem. β
What Bai Minghe thought of, Yu Qian also thought of, but unfortunately he didn't want to admit it.
At this time, most of the troops of the left battalion were frantically attacking the enemy's rear camp, which was where their food, water and other materials were stored, and if they were lost, then they would no longer have a way to retreat.
A battle to the death, the same is a war to the death.
As soon as a Ming soldier carrying an explosive bag and a fire all over his body rushed out, he would be surrounded by at least 500 Turpan soldiers, who used their lives to block the explosives bag and their flesh and blood to block the terrible flames.
"Fight!" Fan Liang held the shotgun he had just finished loading in one hand, standing on horseback and shouting.
Hundreds of arrows shot at Fan Liang, but Fan Liang didn't stand there and didn't dodge, let those arrows shoot at his body, and under the protection of the steel plate armor all over his body, these bows and arrows couldn't hurt him.
The heavy shield infantry at the forefront quickly gave way to twenty lanes, and the artillery that had just finished loading was pushed out. Twenty soldiers with torches in their hands, just waiting for the order from the commander.
Zhu Qian is dead, and Fan Liang is the supreme commander here.
Whether he can go back alive Fan Liang doesn't think about this question anymore, he only thinks about one thing at the moment, that is, what Cheng dΓΉ can kill this enemy army, Zhu Qian's life is only exchanged for the lives of the enemy's two leaders, it's not worth it!
"All gun emplacements!" Fan Liang stood on horseback and shouted.
"General, go back to the camp!" The two lieutenants pulled Fan Liang's horse's head: "The rout of the enemy army has stopped, they are not stupid, and there is only one way to die in the desert like this." After the enemy army regathers, we are not afraid of death, but what if we can't hold the camp Ningxia Wei and Ningxia Zhongwei? β
Another lieutenant also said: "With artillery pressing the formation, we can calmly retreat to the camp, only fifteen miles away!" β
Fan Liang's raised hand couldn't fall, he knew very well that these two captains were telling the truth, as the supreme general here, he was responsible for the results of the battle, and he was also responsible for the lives of these soldiers.
"Bastard!" Fan Liang scolded, and one of the captains shouted: "General, I'll take people to rush for a while." β
"Unable to rush in, the enemy's baggage is also moving back, at least three miles from here. In front of him...... "Fan Liang is not standing on horseback to pretend to be cool, but to observe the enemy army, and now there are more and more enemy troops gathered in front of them, and there are also high-ranking generals who survived in Turpan, and they clearly know that they will die without food."
Protecting the baggage is the most important task.
"On the two wings of the cavalry, after the heavy armor musket is broken, the auxiliaries carry the wounded soldiers first, the artillery is in formation, and the torches must not be extinguished." Fan Liang hesitated again and again and decided to go back to the camp first. (To be continued......)
