Chapter 205: A Crucial Battle (Part II)
Totoku looked at Qin Yun in the camp of the beggar army, and asked a Han man beside him with a serious expression, "Is he Qin Yun?" The commander of the beggar army, that is, the warrior king who is rumored in the mouth of those anti-thieves? ”
The peasant uprising has its own unique characteristics, and Mingjiao is to promote the "birth of the Ming king" in order to mobilize people's hearts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn this regard, Qin Yun, a modern person, will naturally not be inferior. As early as when he was preparing, he secretly preached the slogan of "King Wu is coming, save the world". After a year of spreading, the Jiangnan region naturally gathers from the practitioners, and the Jiangbei region also has a lot of foundations. This has a great effect on Qin Yun's plan for the future Northern Expedition.
"Yes, he is Qin Yun." The Han man bowed his head and said flatteringly to Toto, and no one noticed the cold light that flashed in his eyes.
If Qin Yun was here, he would recognize that this Han man was Chen Youliang.
In fact, after the news of Qin Yun's army spread, Zhao Min wanted to ask for orders to lead troops to suppress it. However, her military power has been relieved, and although she is in a high position in the Privy Council, no one really takes her seriously. Coupled with her identity, Yuan Ting was even more indifferent, and finally the emperor personally ordered Totok to go to suppress the rebellion in Jiangnan.
From this point of view, Yuan Ting still attaches great importance to Qin Yun.
Although this value Qin Yun is not needed!
Zhao Min had no choice but to send Chen Youliang and other martial arts masters to help get rid of it.
I have to say that Chen Youliang is worthy of being one of the heroes in the late Yuan Dynasty, and he was able to hide himself without leaking, and even Zhao Min and Cheng Kun did not find any flaws.
Of course, Zhao Min and Chen Youliang did not meet much is also one of the main reasons.
This person is still quite capable, and he didn't get angry at Zhao Min's fingers, let alone abandon Chen Youliang and others. On the contrary, after he got Qin Yun's detailed information, he attached great importance to Chen Youliang and put it beside him to counsel the military plane.
This is a nice way to put it, and it is equivalent to having a moving document around you at any time.
"Sure enough, it's a hero!" Looking at Qin Yun's firm and confident expression, he couldn't help but open his mouth to praise.
Chen Youliang looked at Qin Yun's figure, his eyes were very complicated.
The reason why he joined the army this time was that in addition to Zhao Min's coercion, he himself was also very urgent. Qin Yun's development was far faster than he expected, which made him more certain and guessing in his heart, and he was also very anxious about making contributions. Now is a good opportunity for Qin Yun's rapid development, how can he miss it.
Of course, if Qin Yun failed, he would not hesitate to cut off Qin Yun's head in exchange for glory and wealth.
"March." Tuotuo looked straight and commanded loudly.
Heavy footsteps sounded, and countless hoplites strode unstoppably and arrogantly, striding forward like a mountain wall, sweeping towards the beggar army like a black tide.
"Kill" "Kill" "Kill"
The shouts of killing shook the earth and made people fearful.
On the flanks of the hoplites, 20,000 cavalry marched slowly, threatening to break the beggar army's formation at any moment.
On Qin Yun's side, except for the 50,000 elites who were unmoved, the rest of the army was a little commotionous. However, when they saw the 50,000 elites of the Chinese army who were not moving, the commotion gradually calmed down under the shouting and scolding of the officers.
At the same time, the artillery of the Shenji battalion was already dragging over, and the artillerymen drove the horses away, and arranged the iron carts and gunpowder barrels loaded with shells according to the drill code, and then quickly loaded the ammunition and prepared to fire.
The distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, and although there was occasional commotion on the side of the beggar army, they all quickly calmed down. With 50,000 elites of the beggar army in the front, the new army and the rebel army could not directly feel the breath that made people collapse, so they naturally would not collapse so easily.
At least not until the 50,000 beggar elite is completely defeated!
The hoplites pushing at the front were almost three hundred paces closer to the beggar line, and their shouting began to slow down. After reaching a certain distance, the hoplites will also speed up the charge. At this distance, you need to gather your stamina, move slowly, and rush within the range of the bow to avoid maximum casualties.
These are all soldiers who have fought old battles, and they are all clear about this point.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of "boom", and white smoke came out of the muzzle of the tiger squat cannon, and the cannonball went straight into the camp of the Yuan army, setting off a wave of blood.
With the first cannon sound, other tiger squat cannons also opened fire one after another. Along with the launch, there were also catapults and bed crossbows that were incorporated into the Shenji Battalion. Originally, Qin Yun also wanted to incorporate the ballista into the Shenji Battalion, but no one could make such a militaristic weapon, so Qin Yun had to give up.
At the same time, the musketeers and bird-gunners were also on standby, their guns aimed at the pounced hoplites, ready to fire at any moment.
There was chaos in the camp of the hoplites, and the appearance of the Tiger Squat Cannon made these elites a little unable to adapt, and even fearful. The scene of blood splattering and bones flying around after the head was shattered made them lose their voice for a moment, and they were a little stunned.
Although catapults can also cause such scenes, the unfamiliar situation is always the most terrifying, and the pungent familiar burnt smell stirs their nerves to the greatest extent. Every time the fire flashed, that nightmarish scene would appear, and they would feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts.
"Accelerate forward. Rush into the enemy's camp and don't worry. The generals in front of him were not vegetarians, so they quickly noticed this and immediately ordered.
The hoplites immediately perked up and rushed towards the beggar position, faster.
"Launch!" Sun Yuan roared loudly, and his voice seemed to be a little out of tune.
The Musketeer and the Birdman looked at the black-pressed target in front of them, aiming at the hoplites who were close at hand, and fired a salvo at the same time. Projectiles flew in all directions, and the hoplites at the front fell in a row, but the people behind quickly rushed up.
Not to mention that today's firearms are compared with modern weapons, even compared with those at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there is still a big gap. The bird gun is okay, it can break through the armor within thirty meters. The firebolt was only able to break through the defenses of the hoplites when it was ten steps in front of it. With such a small distance, it is not much different from hand-to-hand combat.
Seeing that the heavy infantry of the Yuan army was about to break through the defensive line, the Shenji battalion was about to face the risk of being slaughtered, even if it was too late to move the troops behind it forward at this time. Qin Yun frowned, and sighed lightly in his heart.
In the end, it's a lack of experience. Qin Yun himself and the generals under his command had only fought a low-level war at most, and for this kind of hundreds of thousands of battles, it was not something they could manipulate at present. Compared with the hundred battles of the Yuan Army, the Begging Army is much worse than both the army and the generals.
It's simply not a grade!
