Chapter 356: Decisive battle, life or death

Both sides were boosting morale, but Zhang Gaoping still underestimated Zhu Chunchen's command ability.

It is not a trivial matter for 150,000 people to go out of the city, even the defenders stationed in Jiangdu followed forward, this time Zhang Gaoping can be said to have done his best, once the battle fails, he will have no room to turn over.

"Marshal, the northern army does not leave the camp, our army?"

Zhang Gaoping put down the clairvoyant mirror, and then waved his hand: "The artillery is out, first engage them in an artillery battle, and let the forward team retreat first." ”

Zhang Gaoping could advance freely, while Zhu Chunchen, who had a fence and a trench, could only resist hard.

So...

When the two sides launched a fierce artillery battle, Zhu Chunchen's side obviously suffered a lot.

"Put..."

'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'

'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'

'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'

Under the cover of the explosion, the fierce cannon sound plowed the ground under his feet, and all kinds of iron bullets, stone bullets and flower bullets fell from the sky, and the opponents who hit him retreated again and again...

Zhang Gaoping pulled out his long knife and said again: "Everyone, in this battle, I am invincible..."

"I'm invincible..."

"Daming Wansheng..."

"Daming Wansheng..."

The sound of horses' hooves roared, and Zhang Gaoping led the army to begin to charge.

According to Qin Liangyu's instructions, at this moment, Gu Huanzheng and Duan Sannian were waiting, waiting for Zhang Gaoping's first defeat.

"As long as the opponent shows a declining momentum, it is a good time for our army to take the initiative to attack..."

Qin Liangyu reiterated it again.

Looking at her again at this moment, she no longer has the image of an old woman who has to be supported when she walks, and she looks heroic against the backdrop of a bright light armor.

"Musket preparation..."

"Put..."

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

The dense rain of bullets and scattered flowers generally swept towards the rushing Southern army, and the opponent also fired firearms, and countless people fell to the ground for a while.

Casualties are mounting on both sides, and wailing has become less important under the cover of artillery and gunfire.

Even the Kang Xing rifle can't be fired continuously, let alone the flintlock pistol that Liang Fan has eliminated.

The muskets of the two sides could not shoot more than a cup of tea, and the cavalry of the Southern army arrived in front of the barracks gate, and at this moment it was already a little embarrassed to reload.

"Archers..."

"Crossbow bolts... Crossbow bolts..."

A rain of arrows like flying locusts struck, and countless people were hit by arrows.

A Southern cavalryman had dozens of crossbow arrows in his body, and then relied on the inertia of his horse to knock open the fence in front of him, and the men and horses were already dead and could not die anymore.

Whether it was the defending Northern Army or the attacking Southern Army, both sides knew that this battle must not be retreated, and whichever side retreated, defeat would follow.

Seeing that the camp was rushed away, Zhu Yanrong couldn't sit still, but even Zhu Chunchen didn't speak, but he couldn't do anything on his behalf.

If you look closely, Zhu Chunchen's hand holding the sword is already purple at this moment, but he knows Qin Liangyu's arrangement, at least he knows in his heart that Qin Liangyu, the old woman, is not an ordinary person.

"It's now..."

With Qin Liangyu's burst of shouts, the arrow soared into the air, and Gu Huan, who was already ready, drew out his long knife: "Kill the enemy..."

Duan Sannian couldn't wait for a long time, drew out the steel knife, raised the front feet of the war horse, and fiercely led his subordinates towards the cavalry of the Southern Army who had already rushed into the camp.

"Yin Dongsheng, the whole team attacked."

After Zhang Gaoping shouted, he looked at Song Changfu, who was trapped in the direction of the camp: "Rush..."

Song Changfu took out his long knife, shouted, and plunged into the melee with his 10,000 main forces.

Once the number of people in the big battle reaches 100,000, it is not the number of people who really determines the victory, but the main force of the personal soldiers used as a knife, Song Changfu's task is very simple, that is, he is not afraid of death.

Li Mingyuan can also hold this position, but in terms of personal ability, Zhang Gaoping believes that Li Mingyuan can command the troops, and his ability is not small.

With Song Changfu's 10,000 dead soldiers rushing into the camp, Gu Huan was obviously aware of the stagnation of the battle ahead: "Immediately go and tell Cheng Guogong that the enemy army is fighting to the death..."

After Qin Liangyu and Zhu Chunchen got the news, Qin Liangyu turned his head to look at his son Ma Xianglin beside him: "My son, our Shizhu people retreated before the battle in Nanjing, losing the face of the Ma family, and your father never retreated in Liaodong until he died on the spot, we can't lose the prestige of Shizhu today..."

Ma Xianglin took a few steps forward from behind Qin Liangyu, and said in a rich Sichuandi stone pillar language: "Mom, don't worry, this battle will definitely bring out the majesty of our stone pillar people, and let this group of southern soldiers know the power of our white pole soldiers..."

Zhu Chunchen and the others all knew the power of the stone pillar white pole soldiers, and now the so-called death battle means that the opponent has pressed the elite troops.

Can't fail, once one side is defeated, the military spirit will be all scattered, which is also the meaning of Zhang Gaoping to press the main force up at the beginning, but he didn't completely press up, at least he still led 10,000 elites to wait, waiting for the opponent to be in decline when he was in a hurry.

"It's a white pole soldier..."

"Stone Pillar Toast..."

"What are you afraid of, kill it..."

The white pole soldiers have beaten the Tartars and do not fall behind, so the reputation of the stone pillar Tusi soldiers in the Ming army is still very high.

"I'm afraid of the hammer, Lao Tzu will kill you..."

A stone pillar soldier stabbed the white pole gun in his hand into the rushing war horse, although the war horse stalled and the knight took off, but he was also knocked away by the inertia of the war horse, and was immediately shocked to death after falling.

It is not impossible to block the war horse with a spear, but it must be a gun array, and the resistance in the large camp can only rely on the bravery of individuals.

Duan Sannian saw Song Changfu, and it could be seen from his dress that this person was a senior general at the level of a general soldier in the Southern Army, and he was brave and brave, and he immediately galloped towards Song Changfu to kill...

"Marshal, General Qin's command joined the battle, and the southern army was blocked in the large camp of the forward battalion."

Zhu Chunchen stood up and arched his hand: "Under the command of General Qin, this commander... Admire..."

Qin Liangyu also got up and saluted back: "At this moment, the offensive of the southern army has been temporarily contained, but now is the critical moment, be careful that Zhang Gaoping jumps over the wall in a hurry." ”

.

"Did the dog jump off the wall in a hurry?"

Zhang Gaoping looked at Song Changfu, who was carried back, and then took a deep breath: "It's time... Ding Wenqing, the whole army attacked..."

The trapped camp was blocked by the white pole soldiers, and Song Changfu was killed on the spot by Duan Sansan, and his morale plummeted, but before the two sides won or lost, Zhang Gaoping had reason to believe that he would personally rush into battle and join the battle group to save the decadent situation.

"Newspaper... Zhang Gaoping, the commander of the Southern Army, rushed into battle... The whole army presses on..."

Rub...

Zhu Chunchen couldn't sit still anymore: "General Qin, lords, the time for a decisive battle has come..."

"Please give the order..."

"The whole army is attacking..."

.

"Father... The fight started, the scouts came to report, and the main force of the southern army was exhausted, and the army of Chengguo Gong started a battle..."

"The order goes down, the rear team continues to march, and the Chinese army and the forward team speed up..."

"Yes..."

.

The long knife was drawn from the abdomen of an enemy, and Zhang Gaoping threw away the steel knife that had collapsed, and pulled out a new steel knife from the side of the war horse.

The thousand-layer steel goose feather long knife made by Liang Fan Water Conservancy shone white in the sun, and Zhang Gaoping was a little dizzy.

"Be careful..."

"Protect the marshal..."

I don't know where a group of musketeers came out, only fifty paces away from Zhang Gaoping's personal guards, and a flurry of guns fired at each other, killing more than a dozen of Zhang Gaoping's personal guards.

In the chaos, the rebels attacked in unison, and one of them brandished a ghost-headed broadsword, slashing several people one after another, and actually broke through Zhang Gaoping's personal guard circle and killed Zhang Gaoping himself.

Previously, because of the musket, Zhang Gaoping was thrown down and dismounted by the guards, and at this moment, looking at it, the killing game was only ten steps.

Clang...

The sound of metal collision was extremely harsh, Zhang Gaoping was shocked and took a few steps back, the opponent was none other than Duan San, I saw that he did not retreat but advanced, followed Zhang Gaoping's backward footsteps, and then went towards Zhang Gaoping's neck again with a knife.

The surrounding guards shouted again and again, and after Zhang Gaoping stood still, he saw the big knife coming, and he didn't panic, and after rolling forward, he slashed the long knife in his hand.

Duan San's momentum was very strong, and when he saw the long knife coming towards his abdomen, he didn't dodge, but instead pushed the ghost head knife in his hand upward, and made preparations to fight with Zhang Gaoping for his life.

"Handsome..."

"General Soldier..."

Amid the shouts of the guards on both sides, the battle had stopped, and Zhang Gaoping's steel knife turned into an assassination and entered Duan San's abdomen, and the tip of the knife pierced through his back.

And Duan San's ghost head broadsword split the shoulder armor and scale breastplate of Zhang Gaoping's shoulder, and the blade could stop in Zhang Gaoping's flesh.

The wound is not deep...

But Zhang Gaoping's chest and shoulders suddenly had blood flowing out.

Duan was bleeding from his internal organs, blood flowed out of his mouth, and the whole person kept convulsing.

"Kill..."

"Protect the marshal..."

Zhang Gaoping pulled out the long knife, and before Duan had fallen to the ground for three years, he beheaded it with a knife...

It's a deterrent...

Seeing this, the soldiers under the command of Duan Sannian were shocked, and the vanguard army of the Northern Army was defeated because of the award of the head of the senior general Duan Sansan...

Ding Wenqing rushed over on horseback: "Dashuai, the people in front came to report, saying that they had trapped Gu Huan, the distant marquis of Beijun Town... Dashuai: What is this? ”

Zhang Gaoping's chest was bleeding, but it was temporarily stopped under the urgent bandaging, and he looked up at Ding Wenqing: "The general of the Northern Army who hit the head of Yangzhou City several times before has been killed by me, so it's okay... Our army is going to win..."

The general of the forward army, Duan San, was awarded the head, and the main general Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Huan was surrounded, is this not a sign of the defeat of the Northern Army?

"Ding Wenqing, quickly clear and suppress, don't let the northern army slow down, take the head to inspect the front army, boost the morale of our army, and strive to destroy Zhu Chunchen in one go..."
