Soon, the rebels were within twenty paces.

Twenty steps, that is, thirty meters, this distance is already very close.

"First row, let's go!" Xu Yingwei's raised waist knife fell again.

Yan Yingyuan and the other nine scholars also gave orders to their respective subordinates.

In the next moment, Xu Wuniu and other 900 soldiers stood up at the same time, then put the flintlock pistol on the wall of the car, aimed at the rebels outside and pulled the trigger.

With the sound of a dense firecrack, more than 700 lead bullets whizzed forward.

Not all flintlock pistols can be fired, there are always malfunctions.

However, the firing rate of nearly eighty percent is already extremely good, compared with arquebuses such as bird guns and Lumi guns, it is almost a dimensionality reduction strike.

Shots rang out, and the sabre players twenty paces ahead fell to the ground.

There is hardly a single one of the more than 600 sword players in a row still standing, and the inch-thick wooden cards can't even carry the bird guns produced by the former Ming Military Bureau, let alone the flintlock pistols produced by the Ming Arsenal.

The guerrilla of the rebellious army that rushed to the front was fateful, and he didn't die.

Seeing that the Ming army had only shot in one round, they had killed and wounded more than 600 of their own people, and the rebel guerrillas were shocked and angry.

This chaotic guerrilla is still a bit bold, and it can be seen that the firearms of the Ming army are extremely sharp, so they must be pasted up as soon as possible to start a melee battle, otherwise none of their 6,000 people will want to live.

At that moment, the guerrillas of the chaotic army raised their swords and shouted: "Rush forward at full speed, charge at full speed, rush up, all rush with Lao Tzu, rush up ......"

Hearing the roar of the rebel guerrillas, the six platoons of spearmen who were originally walking behind instantly accelerated, and charged forward at full speed past the musketeers, trying to get close to the front of the car formation and start a close battle with the Ming army.

Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking on their part.

Before they could take a few steps forward, the second row of Ming musketeers replaced behind the wall.

Then there was a continuous sound of firearms, and another row of dense bullets poured down, and the first row of spearmen who rushed to the front fell in an instant, and the rest fell after not running a few steps.

And this time, the rebel guerrilla was not spared.

At least two lead bullets hit him at the same time, one of which hit him in the neck.

The rebel guerrillas threw away the horse chopping knife, covered their necks and slowly fell to the ground, the red blood quickly overflowed from between the fingers, and the whole person was only left with convulsions.

Seeing this, the next few rows of spearmen who followed up were a little panicked.

This lethality is too scary, what kind of gun is this of the Ming army?

Why is the penetration so strong? Also, how could the Ming musketeers get so close?

Subconsciously, the spearmen who followed up slowed down one after another, the Ming army's firearms were too scary, not to mention that the leading guerrillas were also killed, and it was necessary to rush forward?

At this moment, another platoon of Ming musketeers came up.

After another loud thud, another line of spearmen fell to the ground with a wail.

Seeing this, the remaining three rows of spearmen were finally frightened, turned around and ran back.

As soon as the spearmen ran, the three rows of musketeers who had stopped behind immediately turned around and ran back.

In this way, the first wave of the offensive of the rebel army was easily broken down, and the casualties of the rebel army were at least two thousand or more, of which at least half were killed, and the rest lay helplessly wailing in front of the position.

However, the Ming army had zero casualties, which was a dimensionality reduction strike.

Revolutionary firearms and subversive combat concepts,

Taken together, that's the effect.

……

Seeing the defeat and retreat of the chaotic army, Hu Guozhu once again asked Chongzhen for battle: "Shengshang, at this time, driving the cavalry to pursue, you will definitely be able to directly break down the large array of the chaotic army." ”

In the end, it was Hu Guozhu, who followed him to fight at the age of seventeen.

Therefore, it can be seen at a glance that now is an excellent fighter, taking advantage of the opportunity of the rout of the chaotic army to flee back, driving the cavalry to follow and cover the past, and the remaining three or four thousand rout soldiers will only be more frightened, and they will rush back in a swarm of panic, and at this time, there is a high probability that the chaos will be disrupted.

The chaos of the army will be over as soon as it is chaotic.

After all, not a highly organized army.

"Not necessarily." Chongzhen refused to pursue.

Because Chongzhen's purpose was not to defeat the rebellious army, but to make a forced landing.

is still the same sentence, Daming is now on the eve of industrial development, and the most urgent need is labor.

Therefore, he will not wipe out these hundreds of thousands of rebel troops unless he has to, but as long as there is the slightest possibility, he will do his best to force down these rebel troops.

Hu Guozhu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he didn't say much.

Chongzhen didn't explain too much, as an emperor and a superior, he couldn't explain it.

If he had to explain everything to his courtiers, then he would not have to do anything.

Chongzhen raised the telescope again, but his vision turned to the direction of Wuchang City, and said leisurely: "Calculate the time, the army of blocking Yinxi should have crossed the Yangtze River, right?" ”

Gao Qiqian immediately reported: "Long live the lord, three hours ago, Lord Du sent a flying horse to report, saying that he was crossing the river with the assistance of the sailor, so most of them have crossed the river now." ”

"It's good to cross the river." Chongzhen put down the binoculars and said to Hu Guozhu, "Hu Qing, get ready, as long as the news of the Yinxi army crossing the river reaches the opposite side, the chaotic army will definitely collapse, at this time, it depends on the cavalry battalion and Yiding, I have only one request, not to let go of a person, let alone run away a horse!" ”

"Yes!" Hu Guozhu said abruptly, "Cavalry battalion, Yiding prepare!" ”

The cavalry and Yiding who received the order began to check their equipment.

Some cavalrymen even lit the fire rope in advance and wrapped it around the armguards.

……

The 100,000 soldiers of Yinxi were divided into two places to cross the river.

One is Jinsha Town, and the other is Yangluo Town, which are located in the upstream and downstream of Wuchang.

After crossing the Yangtze River, Du Yinxi immediately ordered the whole army to spread out a formation, from the northeast and southwest directions towards Wuchang to surround it, if nothing else, the two towns should meet Chongzhen in Jinshazhou, southeast of Wuchang, and then complete the encirclement of the rebellious army.

At this time, Du Yinxi was leading 50,000 town soldiers to push forward all over the mountains.

Due to the dense water network of Wuchang Mansion, the marching army column was cut to pieces by the terrain, but the whole team was pulled out from west to east for more than ten miles, and it was still very spectacular to watch.

Yang Ponu had already put on two pairs of armor and also rode a mule.

Wang Laoshi and other town soldiers also rode their own cattle, most of them donkeys, and when they looked at it from a distance, they only saw a huge donkey cavalry marching forward all over the mountains.

……

More than a dozen adjutant generals of the rebel army have already fried the pot.

Because the scout cavalry who scattered out had already discovered the northern and southern armies blocking Yinxi.

Knowing that two large armies were rushing towards them from the northeast and southwest, the dozen or so general adjutant generals immediately panicked and lost their minds for a while.

Some say that the decisive battle will be left, and some say that they will break through separately.

Some people said that they would simply surrender, and maybe they would be able to save their lives.

After all, Chongzhen has become much more merciful since his enlightenment in the coal mountain, the head of the Donglin Party committed the crime of killing the king, and Chongzhen only killed the first evil, not even his family.

Therefore, they may not have a chance to live.

More than a dozen adjutant generals of the general army quarreled together, and they could not reach a reunification for a long time.

Xu Yong couldn't hold back, these shafts, I'm really blind to follow you to make a mutiny, a bunch of fools who don't succeed enough and lose more than anything.

At that moment, Xu Yong picked up his own part and went to the south by himself.

It didn't matter if Xu Yong left, an avalanche effect was immediately formed.

As a result, more than a dozen adjutant generals of the general army fled separately with their respective troops.

However, the cavalry of the Ming army on the opposite side was waiting for this moment, and when they saw the chaotic army fleeing separately, the cavalry of the Ming army immediately attacked and launched a pursuit of the chaotic army.

At first, the rebels wanted to resist stubbornly.

But when the first wave of rebels who tried to resist were killed, the rest of the rebels collapsed.

In the blink of an eye, the rebel army was defeated, throwing away everything that could be thrown away, only caring about fleeing for their lives, those who had horses ran on horses, and those who did not have horses could only rely on two legs.

All of a sudden, the mountains were full of routs.

But at this time, the trumpets and drums sounded in the northeast and southwest directions at the same time.

The 100,000 town soldiers who blocked Yinxi rushed to the battlefield, and also opened a huge encirclement dozens of miles long.

As soon as they saw each other, the rebels ran back in a panic.

Because tens of thousands of "cavalry" came up to meet him, this picture was too scary.

In the end, they ran towards the east like a swarm, preparing to break through from the direction where Hu Guozhu was.

Obviously, the rebels regarded the cavalry led by Hu Guozhu as soft persimmons, after all, there were only three or four thousand horsemen.

However, the "Ming cavalry" that rushed over from the other two directions were tens of thousands, which was too much.

This is a big mistake, although the cavalry led by Hu Guozhu is small, it is a real cavalry.

The result can be imagined, just a wave of charge, the first seven or eight thousand cavalry to enter the battle lost more than half, only less than a thousand cavalry staggered, towards the southeast of Xingguo Prefecture.

Hu Guozhu immediately ordered Wu to lead Yiding to pursue, and he himself led the cavalry battalion to drive back the rebellious army.

In the end, the encirclement of 100,000 town soldiers and cavalry shrank smaller and smaller, and the completely enveloped rebel army finally had no way to escape, and finally could only kneel on the ground and beg for surrender.

A small number of rebels resisted stubbornly and were soon beheaded.

After all, these rebels had already lost their armor before the rout just now.

After another two hours or so, the pursuing eight hundred Yiding also returned, each with one or more heads, and the Wu Gang reported that less than ten of the rebels had escaped.

Chongzhen estimated that those rebels were also from Liaodong Town.

However, it doesn't matter if a few rebels escape.

At this time, Zuo Mengeng and Jin Shenghuan had already been identified by more than a dozen generals and deputy generals such as Lu Guangzu, Li Guoying, Zhang Yingxiang, Xu Ensheng, Wu Xueli and Xu Yuxian.
