After a lapse of five years, the tranquility of Liaodong was once again shattered by war.

The 50,000 heavily armed new-style firearms troops of the imperial court lined up in a long line, crossed the Shanhai Pass, and rushed towards Ningyuan, the first fortress in eastern Liaodong.

Yuan Yingtai, who had the empty title of governor of Liaodong, looked at the marching team that could not be seen at a glance, and suddenly felt that the center of his chest was surging and full of pride, and he had a feeling that he was going to become a famous general in history.

"With such a mighty and majestic army, why worry about rebellion!" Yuan Yingtai said with emotion, "The night snow building boat Guazhou crosses, and the iron horse is scattered in the autumn wind......"

Xiong Tingbi stood on the side, his face sinking like water, looking at the horizon in the distance and being silent.

Yuan Yingtai chanted poems on the side for a long time, but no one responded to him, and he felt bored, turned his head and saw Xiong Tingbi in a daze, snorted coldly in his heart, and deliberately lengthened his voice and asked.

"What are you looking at, Lord Xiong~ I am rebelling against the soldiers, does Lord Xiong have nothing to say?"

Xiong Tingbi glanced at the proud disciple of the new Shoufu expressionlessly, and replied in a deep voice: "I hope that this time we can maintain an undefeated and undefeated situation." ”

"You!" Yuan Yingtai was furious, he just imagined that he would become an immortal general who would go down in history by relying on this war, and in the blink of an eye, Xiong Tingbi came to pour cold water.

"My Wang Shi went out to fight against the rebellion, and the people of Liaodong Li must be eating pot pulp to greet each other, and the Qin thief did not look at the wind and descended to seek the grace of heaven, and dared to resist stubbornly, wouldn't it be self-defeating."

Xiong Tingbi has dealt with Qin Rongshuai, he has seen the new army trained by Qin Rongshuai with his own eyes, and then looks at the army on his side, and his heart is naturally full of B numbers.

"The old man worked with Qin Rong a few years ago when he was crusading against Jianyu, and his new army was as neat as an arm, and the discipline was strict and there was no crime, not to mention the sharp self-generated musket, which could be fired without the need for an arquebus, and it could be fired by pulling the mechanism, which was much faster than our army's gun, and the artillery was more powerful, and the artillery equipped by our Ming New Army was incomparable in terms of power and range."

"Humph!" Yuan Yingtai thought for a long time and couldn't refute it, so he could only snort coldly and said, "What's the use of sharp firearms, I am rich all over the world, and there are tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen, so self-generated muskets can also be made, why should Lord Xiong have the ambition of others to destroy his own prestige." What's more, my Wang Shi is rebelling and quelling rebellion, and the destiny is in me, so what is the use of entangled in these strange tricks and tricks. ”

Xiong Tingbi glanced at Yuan Yingtai and didn't refute it, he knew that there was no point. Yuan Yingtai saw that Xiong Tingbi didn't speak, thinking that he was blocked by his own reasonable words, and he was complacent in his heart.

The new army of firearms in the Ming Dynasty had just walked less than thirty miles and suddenly stopped, and the scouts sent by the horse suddenly returned, and the main force of the Liaodong rebels was found in front.

Yuan Yingtai felt strange, he found that the main force of the rebels was on you, why did you stop there?

He Shixian, the commander-in-chief of the army, and several deputy commanders-in-chief looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, because they found that the Liaodong army was digging trenches in front of them, crisscrossing and stretching.

And all the soldiers of the Liaodong Army hid in the trenches and did not show their faces. Sent people to test it a few times, but before they could get close, there was a dense rain of bullets, and many Ming troops were beaten into honeycombs before they could see where the enemy was.

Seeing that they could not pass, the Ming army could only stop and set up camp and wait for further orders.

Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Yingtai had a quarrel about the next tactics, Xiong thought that he should be cautious and sent someone to test the opponent's firepower, Yuan Yingtai thought that the army should be directly pressed and crushed the rebels with momentum, how could the trenches stop the footsteps of my Ming Wangshi.

In the end, Xiong Tingbi was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, but there was no way to take Yuan Yingtai at all, so he could only watch him take away the command and order the Ming army to attack directly.

When the Ming Dynasty army lined up in a dense formation and slowly approached the trench of the Liaodong army, the other party never moved.

Until the time of three hundred paces, the Liaodong army in the trench began to show its head and stretched out the barrel of the gun.

The guerrillas and garrisons who led the troops in front were a little surprised, what does it mean to be armed with guns at only 300 paces.

Qi Jin stole dozens of flintlock muskets back then, and the Ming Dynasty also knew a little about the equipment of the Liaodong Army.

When the Ming army was surprised, suddenly a dense gunfire rang out, and the formation of the Ming army seemed to have been gnawed, and they all fell down.

Then there was an endless rain of bullets, the Ming army was stunned, and they didn't know what was going on, and subconsciously continued to move forward, but it turned out to be like hitting an invisible wall of death, and they fell one after another on the distance of more than 200 meters in front of the trench.

Yuan Yingtai grew his mouth, and watched the soldiers of the Liaodong Army in the trench line up in three rows, taking turns to cast muskets, which were extremely fast, and it seemed that they didn't even need to be loaded with gunpowder and projectiles, and they would shoot when they raised their guns.

All this in front of him was beyond his cognition, his worldview collapsed a little, his face distorted and grabbed the arm of He Shixian, the chief soldier next to him, and asked through gritted teeth: "Why are the rebel muskets so sharp?" ”

He Shixian was about to cry, how did he know, he was also desperate. If the fight continues like this, the Ming army will collapse before it reaches the firing distance of the firebolt.

As soon as he turned his mind, he saw that the Ming army was in an uproar, the entire formation was chaotic, and everyone began to turn around and run back.

The Ming army collapsed.

Then suddenly there was a whistling sound in the distance, and a dense black dot smashed into the panicked formation of the Ming army.

Then Yuan Yingtai witnessed the moment of miracle, a metal projectile smashed to the ground, like a stone into the water, the ground caved, and then the nearby ground was squeezed out of a circle of ripples and began to spread around.

Then there was a huge fire, and a thunderous sound.

Then there were more fires and thunder, and huge pillars of smoke and dust rose as if connecting heaven and earth, accompanied by large swaths of stumps, broken arms, and pieces of flesh and blood of Ming soldiers.

Under the bombardment of large-caliber howitzers, 50,000 Ming troops suffered heavy casualties, everyone was running in a panic, and a large number of Ming troops were stunned by the shock wave of the shells, regardless of the direct rush to the position of the Liaodong Army, and then were beaten into a sieve by the dense rain of bullets.

The Ming army prepared for three years, marched for three days, and fought with the Liaodong Army for less than three quarters of an hour, and the whole army was annihilated.

When Yuan Yingtai was carried back to Shanhaiguan, his whole spirit collapsed, and he began to talk nonsense, what is this witchcraft, Da Ming is dead!

Xiong Tingbi's face was pale, his hand writing the chapter kept shaking, and the words were written crookedly.

Then the imperial court came to the will, Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Yingtai were dismissed from office, and Xiong Tingbi was the first to take responsibility as the Liaodong Economic Strategy and beheaded his family.

Then the second decree was sent to Qin Rongshuai, asking him why he was opposed.

Qin Rongshuai replied, I didn't oppose

The court asked again, then why do you want to resist Wang Shi.

Qin Rongshuai asked rhetorically, why did the first emperor die.

After the court was silent for a few days, a decree suddenly came, and the Marquis of Pingliao was crowned as the crown prince and Taibao, a first-class duke, and hereditary replacement.
