Jining Mansion, a suburban residence.

"Lord Qiqi, the two thousand soldiers and horses of Jinan Wei have arrived in Qufu!"

Zhu Ji suddenly became nervous, took out the map, and asked, "Where to camp?"

"Lord Hui, I didn't set up camp, I was temporarily resting outside the county."

Zhu Ji asked again, "How far is it from us?"

"About fifty miles."

Zhu Ji hurriedly came to Li Zhen and said, "Rui Guogong, Jinan Wei has arrived in Qufu, but he has not set up camp, this matter is strange!"

Li Zhen was walking around the courtyard, looked around, and said, "Since there is no camp, it means that it is necessary to make a quick decision, and it is time to come tonight."

Of course, Zhu Ji knew that these people were found by the Kong family to target him, but he didn't expect them to even bother to cover it up, so they killed them directly.

"That...... How do we respond?"

Li Zhen looked at him and said, "You don't need to ask, of course it's fucking!" Little Jinan Wei, dare to rebel? If I don't give them a shih tonight, count them clean!"

Zhu Ji said with trepidation: "However, there are 2,000 people on the other side, and we have less than 600."

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "This is not something you should worry about!"

Zhu Ji also said: "The terrain here is open, the opponent has the advantage in numbers, if the formation spreads, it will be very unfavorable to our side, do you want to find a favorable terrain to fight with it?"

Li Zhen smiled and said, "The more open the better, here it is!"

In the middle of the night, there was a cacophony in the distance, and at the same time, a sharp whistle pierced the night sky.

Five hundred soldiers of the 3,000 battalion, as well as hundreds of brocade guards, had long been ready for battle.

Zhu Ji stood in front of the formation, trying to observe the situation on the other side.

At the front was a group of cavalry, then all infantry, layered on top of each other, but there was not much movement, as if they were also watching their side.

After a brief confrontation, a general on horseback came to the front of the battle and shouted, "Wait for the thieves, and you will be captured before you are tied!"

Zhu Ji replied: "I am Zhu Ji, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and I am here to perform official duties, who are you and why are you here with your troops?"

Seeing Zhu Ji's identity, the other party laughed loudly disapplauded: "Dare to pretend to be a Jinyi guard, the crime will be added to the first degree!"

Zhu Ji said in a deep voice: "I repeat, the Jinyi Guards are here to perform their official duties, no matter which guard you are, leave immediately, otherwise, you will be punished according to the conspiracy, and you will be killed!"

And at this moment, the other party has obviously lost patience and directly blew the horn of attack.

"Commander, the thief did not listen to the advice, and it seems that he is ready to resist to the end."

Cai Jinkui was riding on a tall horse, wearing armor and without any expression on his face.

Jin Yiwei actually thought of the idea of punching the family, he was really impatient!

If you hear the words Jinyiwei elsewhere, you can still have a certain deterrent effect, but this is Qufu, which is the territory of Yan Shenggong.

In Qufu, people can scold the emperor, but no one will dare to scold the Confucian family.

"Qin You, this time you take the lead, if you win, I will push you as the first credit."

This person named Qin You is just a guerrilla general now, and when he heard Cai Jinkui order him to be a pioneer, all of a sudden, his eyes flashed with a fine light.

In his opinion, it is just a hundred brocade guards, and he has an advantage in numbers, and there is almost no risk.

But after the killing, the real question to face is, how to deal with the emperor?

After all, it is Jinyiwei, the Son of Heaven is pro-army, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog!

However, these are all things that Yan Shenggong and the commander need to consider, and they just need to rush.

Thinking of the upcoming splendid future, Qin You's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and then said, "Please reassure your lordship, tonight, there will be no one alive here."

With that, he turned over and got on his horse, holding a long knife in his hand, looking menacing.

Then he reined in his horse and shouted, "The one ahead is nothing

It was a group of thieves, and they all came with me, and when the battle was broken, everyone was rewarded with ten taels of silver, and they brought with them a large number of jewels, and when they were killed, they all gave them all."

So, under an order, Qin You was already the first to ride his horse and began to charge.

Seeing this, the soldiers cheered up one by one, if they were to fight against the Mongols, or fight against the Japanese Invaders, they might still be a little timid, but in the face of the Rogues, they were just a group of homeless people who could not eat enough, and it was not as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

Hundreds of war horses were urging one after another, first jogging, one by one the cavalry undulated on the horses, they were holding mostly swords and guns, and at this time suddenly put on a formation of arrows.

Then, the war horse got faster and faster, faster and faster.

And then, the wind is galloping!

The power of these hundreds of iron horses at this moment is already unstoppable.

In the opposite formation, Li Zhen shouted, "Ready!"

All tensed their nerves, muskets in hand, shoulder to shoulder.

If it was an ordinary person, at this time, watching the mighty cavalry in the distance rushing towards him, he would have panicked in his heart.

The majesty of this cavalry in the wilderness was, at least for this age, devastating.

This time, however, they faced a well-equipped battalion of 3,000.

The Northern Expedition to Mongolia, the coastal flats, and everywhere the 3,000 battalions went, they were all devastated.

This is only 2,000 people, and it really can't be in their eyes.

"Gun loaded!"

As the order sounded, everyone moved in an orderly manner.

The biggest advantage of the flintlock pistol is not only the rate of fire and the convenience of the charge.

More importantly, soldiers can be allowed to form a relatively close queue side by side, and if it is a traditional firearm, there must be a certain gap to prevent being injured by the gunpowder next door.

The flintlock pistol, on the other hand, is killed with flint, which is more secure, which also ensures that everyone is in a formation side by side.

This small improvement is actually a huge advantage for the battle formation.

Because of the traditional firecracker, if you want to exert the maximum effect, you must ensure that there is a dense fire, if everyone stands too loosely, the distance between each other is too large, in fact, it is difficult to increase the lethality in an area.

The flintlock pistol can solve these problems very well, so that the combat effectiveness of the troops can be improved by more than one notch.

The cavalry of the other party was already rushing to kill, and Qin You was even more energetic at this time, seeing the men and horses on the opposite side holding fire guns and waiting for them.

"Kill me! These people are not vulnerable at all, and those who enter the battle first will be rewarded!"

The two words of heavy reward are the most morale-boosting, and all the soldiers shook their spirits and launched the final sprint.

But the firecrackers in front of him did not move at all.

They lined up in two rows, and by this time, the first row had already raised its firearms, and the guns were facing forward.

Everybody didn't move.

The vanguard cavalry of Jinan Wei had already arrived within thirty paces, which was already very close.

The faces of the enemies on the other side can almost be seen.

The two opposing sides looked at each other, each showing disdain.

Then, at last, a shrill whistle sounded.

"Put!"

As the password sounded, the members of the first row, as if subconsciously, pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The next moment, the flint smashed into the chamber of the gun, quickly sputtering sparks, igniting the gunpowder in the barrel.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Smoke filled the air, and firearms fired in volleys.

Countless projectiles whizzed out of the chamber.

After the intensive shooting, the worst were the cavalry in the front row.

Someone was shot in the body and fell off his horse.

There were also war horses that were shot, and immediately blood was dripping, and then, the war horses went berserk, overturned the people on the horses, and began to gallop.

This cavalry was originally with incomparable might, but at this time, the formation began to commotion

Disorderly.

In particular, the horses of the front team kept falling, people turned over on their backs, and the cavalry of the rear team had no time to dodge, and they collided with the front team, and the high-speed moving war horses collided, which was enough for the cavalry on the horse to directly break the bones.

As a result, on the battlefield, there were many screams.

The members of the first platoon finished shooting, and they quickly retreated in unison.

Immediately after that, the members of the second row stepped forward and came to the position of the first row.

"Put!"

The order to shoot was again heard from the ranks.

Then another row of firebolts made a loud noise.

At the beginning of the civil fort, Zhu Qizhen used a three-stage attack.

That is, the team is divided into three rows, the first row is used to shoot, the second row and the third row are loaded with gunpowder, and then everyone takes turns to shoot to ensure that the guns and bullets in the queue can continuously shoot the former enemy.

It's just that with the improvement of equipment, the firing speed has become faster, and it has been changed to a two-stage attack.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the daily training of the 3,000 battalions.

The most important thing in using a musket is to be well trained.

An undertrained army, no matter how powerful firearms it is, is actually useless.

For the same flintlock pistol, if it is placed in the hands of an ordinary army, and it takes half an incense to reload a round, the 3,000 battalion can reduce this time to 30%.

Not only that, but in order to shorten the time as much as possible, all gunpowder is a quantitative amount of granular gunpowder, which is wrapped in oiled paper in advance to ensure that the dose of gunpowder is consistent in each packet.

What the team members have to do is to directly take out the projectiles one by one, quickly tear them apart, and then stuff them into the musket, and then use a special iron bar to tamp it to shoot.

Thus, after the second row of firing was finished.

The original first platoon had already been loaded, and they quickly stepped forward and fired again.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The sound of fire guns sounded like fried beans, and the fire was incessant, dense and suffocating.

In this short thirty steps, there has never been a break.

In particular, the cooperation of the two platoons was almost to the point of inseparability, everyone knew what they were going to do in the next moment, they moved forward almost reflexively, raised their guns, shot, and then quickly retreated, gave up the firing position, charged, inserted the projectile, forward, raised the musket, and continued to shoot.

This series of actions is almost uniform.

And these, they have already gone through countless drills in the school field on weekdays.

Even in dreams, there are people who dream that they are reloading gunpowder.

At these days, an important part of the training at the Jiangnan Zhuwei Center was the use of new muskets.

The roaring cavalry thought they were already in control.

Especially when they rushed to thirty paces, they already had a smug smile on their faces.

But they obviously never imagined that these short thirty steps would be as long as ascending to the sky.

Round after round of shooting, the people who rushed to the front fell one by one.

The pace of the cavalry's advance began to slow down, and then the rear team rushed up, still unable to withstand the dense fire that was fired.

There are constantly people falling, and there are wailing people everywhere......

And the fallen men and horses have formed a barricade, making it harder for those in the back to sprint.

Their speed slowed down, but the men of the 3,000 battalion did not slow down their firing.

They were still shooting mechanically and continuously, and in just half a cup of tea, this whirlwind-like iron rider actually only rushed forward twenty steps, but had left two hundred corpses behind.

At this time, the entire Jinan Wei was on the verge of collapse.

Even those who rushed to the front were already frightened at this time.

They knew that they would only need to take another ten steps forward, rush into the formation, and then slaughter these firecrackers.

But......

In just a dozen or so steps, it seems to be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

At this point, some people began to waver.

However, the troops behind him have already pressed up, and even if they want to retreat, there is no way to retreat.

As for Qin You, who took the lead, he was beaten with a hole in the eye at the beginning, and he was trampled by the war horse behind, and he couldn't die anymore if he died a long time ago.

Cai Jinkui obviously saw the situation as well, and he immediately sensed that things were worse than he had imagined.

So, he scolded Qin You's wine bag and rice bag, but he had to directly carry the knife and shouted, "Kill!"

With an order, all the elite cavalry beside him followed the charge.

The rest of the infantry naturally rushed forward along with it.

Of course, Cai Jinkui knew that if he didn't put all his troops into it, the military horses of the vanguard would definitely collapse.

Perhaps because of the new force, the people who rushed to the front, although they were cold, still gritted their teeth at this time and persevered desperately.

The biggest problem now has become my own people.

The countless corpses of men and horses on the ground were scattered horizontally and vertically, and in some places, the corpses were piled up like mountains, which blocked the cavalry's charge.

Not only that, but some people who landed on the ground crawled on the ground crying and screaming, wailing, miserable.

There were also wounded horses scurrying around the battlefield.

Due to the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke ahead, many ownerless horses turned around and galloped wildly.

All of a sudden, it was someone on his back again.

Cai Jinkui was stunned this time.

He suddenly realized that he had underestimated his enemy.

If you have enough time, plan your tactics in advance, and match the favorable terrain, this may not be the result.

Only now, even if it is regretted, it is too late.

The vast cavalry and infantry are still sprinting.

No one looked at them with contempt, and they all looked frightened, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Cai Jinkui saw that his morale was low, so he roared: "If you don't kill these people today, no one will want to live tomorrow, and besides, all the old and young in your family will be affected, kill me, and die together!"
