Chapter 15: The Queen

Chen Wang held on to the front of the helmet and pressed it back to straighten the helmet again.

Chen Wang did not wipe the sweat from his forehead, but let it go, and all his attention was focused on the front at this time.

There was silence in the military formation, and the flags of the hunt sounded.

In the distance, the cavalry, dressed in border armor and wearing a high bowl helmet like him, kept wandering, and from time to time suddenly rushed to the military formation, and then, when entering the danger area, suddenly turned the horse's head and shook past the front of the formation.

There are also knights who show off their excellent riding skills, and from time to time there are sparse arrows thrown in, although all this does not cause any substantial damage, but it makes the Ming army foot soldiers extremely nervous.

In addition to the Ming army in the first row with guns and shields, the Ming troops in the next two rows are all holding bird guns, which are mixed with a lot of bees, and the Ming troops in the third row and the fourth row are all holding three-eyed guns.

Behind them were soldiers with spears.

More than 200 bird guns, nearly 300 three-eyed guns, are already all the firearms that have been requisitioned to the front in a short period of time.

Chen Wang took over the task of the queen of the palace.

In the process of dispatching troops, the artillery on the top of the mountain rang out two rounds again, and only one of the two rounds of artillery fell into the military formation, which also restored the morale of the Ming troops on the official road a little.

Sweat ran down his cheeks, Chen Wang's breathing involuntarily increased slightly, and he was now under huge psychological pressure.

Thousands of cavalry galloped back and forth, and the dust raised almost obscured the entire vision in front of him, and anyone who came to face the thousands of heavily armed cavalry would feel fear.

Chen Wang looked sideways at the group of soldiers holding firearms on his side, and everyone's faces were full of fear.

Without the shelter of chariots, not even the shield of guns, they faced hundreds of cavalry without hindrance, and to be honest, this was the first time for them.

"On the verge of battle, there is no order to release the sword! No mercy! ”

Chen Wang raised the Yanling knife in his hand high and shouted in a deep voice.

Military orders were handed down one by one, reaching the ears of every soldier with a firearm.

Chen Wang looked around, he knew that this military order he had given was of little use.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Jiannu went south to Datong, and under the condition of chariot protection, in the face of Jiannu rushing into battle, some soldiers in the army released their guns in advance.

This situation has also been naturally taken into account by Chen Wang, it is a matter of wealth and life, and it must be considered completely.

Now in the front formation, there are more than 30 people holding a nest of wind rockets, and most of these people holding rockets, as well as those holding three-eyed guns in the follow-up, are all under the command of the flag general and the general manager.

All the firearms were loaded, whether it was a bird gun or a three-eyed gun, it was not allowed to be placed flat to prevent early fire, and there were also family members with wild goose knives patrolling and supervising the battle in the formation.

"Boom!"

A loud noise came into Chen Wang's ears again from a distance, and Chen Wang looked up at the top of the slope on the right.

The thief's cannon rang out again, but only with one sound.

Now the liveliness of the thieves has changed from a volley at the beginning to an interval shot.

It's true that the thieves can't handle their cannons, and the speed at which they reload their shells can be fast or slow.

At the beginning, the five cannons rang out in unison, and when they rang out again, only four cannons were heard one after another, and I am afraid that one of them exploded or something happened to the accident.

But now the thieves' artillery is getting more and more accurate.

Although this artillery shot missed, it was very close.

Chen Wang took a deep breath, this battle is not about who is better, but who is worse than others.

These elite cavalry among the thieves are the meat of every thief leader, and they will not be used easily, and they are rarely used to charge into battle, after all, if one dies, there is really one less, and it is difficult to replenish.

And most people at this time, they are only called thieves for a way to live, and their will to fight is not high.

After fighting for so long, Chen Wang understands the nature of the thief very well.

It only takes a split second to kill and injure a large number of charging rogue cavalry and suppress their morale, and the rogue horse team will lose its threat, whether it is an ordinary horseman or the elite among them.

"Woo——————"

A low horn sounded from the position of the Chinese army.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

In the middle of the formation, the sound of the drums sounded, and everyone followed the drums and retreated.

The fiery red Daxu flag stood in the Chinese army, and Cao Wenzhao held the order flag, like a Dinghai god needle under the Daxu.

When everyone's eyes came into contact with him, they all thought of the scene of the defeat of the two rogue horse teams not long ago, and their hearts were a little calmer.

It's just that the stability in their hearts didn't last long, and the sound of horses' hooves like thunder shattered them.

"Rumble ——————"

The thieves' horse convoy is coming straight in!

The black banner fluttered in the strong wind, and gradually spread to the maximum as the war horse galloped, until it straightened.

One after another, the word "Chuang" came into Chen Wang's eyes, and also into the eyes of a group of Ming soldiers.

The knights on the horse were in the front row with three-eyed guns, ready to be released, and their bodies were firmly seated in the saddle, barely shaking.

The cavalry behind them all put the Yanling knife on their right shoulder, and the warm sunlight shone on the Yanling knife, but it was a cold light.

If you don't look at its banner and the color of its armor, they are undoubtedly the border cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Zongmin's eyes flashed with palpitating killing intent, and he saw the movements of the Ming army.

It is simply ridiculous to concentrate firearms in the front and expect to be able to withdraw unharmed.

Without the shelter of the chariot, it only takes a few charges to lure, and someone will be tempted to shoot, and when the time comes, when the fire is almost released, there is no need to wait for the charge, and the enemy army itself will collapse.

What can really decide the outcome is the sword in the hand!

"Keep retreating and steady the queue."

Chen Wang's eyes were slightly condensed, and he saw the thief's cavalry approaching, but his mood did not fluctuate, and he ordered in a calm voice.

Also as a border army, Chen Wang didn't know what the other party was thinking.

Someone couldn't help but want to put the bird gun down, but in the next moment, a goose knife had already cut his neck.

The cold voice came from behind, like a deep spring under a deep valley.

"Whoever releases the gun without an order, die!"
