The sound of artillery has stopped, and the artillerymen in charge of the operation are already packing up their things and preparing to evacuate.

Artillery is a precious thing, so they have to evacuate it from the battlefield before they fight in close combat.

I saw that these soldiers cooperated with the horses, some carried the bars and some led the horses, and quickly fixed the artillery and the towing cart, and then carried other things onto the cart.

These things were extremely heavy, and in order to ensure their quick maneuvering, each cannon was pulled by two horses.

By the time the artillerymen pulled the artillery away, the frontal battle had already begun.

The sergeants of the Beijing camp raised their muskets and fired a volley at the Japanese who rushed on the opposite side.

There were nearly 1,000 gun-wielding sergeants at the scene, and they were divided into three lines to carry out a profound attack, and each salvo could shoot 300 projectiles.

Although the arquebuses used by these soldiers were of higher quality than those used by the White Lotus Sect before, they were not much better to be honest.

Under the salvo, only seventy or eighty people were killed, but fortunately, the next round of gunners immediately made up for it.

But the Japanese on the other side were not stupid, they were rushing at the fastest speed, and they were rapidly approaching the Jingying military formation.

Of course, in the face of the dense muskets, there are also many people who are frightened, stagnant or even turn around and run.

Although these people are not afraid of death, they eventually succumb to animal instincts.

"Shoot ......"

"The second column is ......"

"Shoot ......"

Although the distance between the two sides was more than 100 meters, with the close cooperation of the soldiers in Beijing, the Japanese army advanced very slowly.

The faster people run, the more likely they are to be killed, even if they are all holding shields.

Of course, the distance between the two was always getting closer, so Yang Renzhong ordered the armed soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy.

Smelling the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, Zhu Jinghong on the hillside was not idle, he was opening his bow and arrows to shoot at the Japanese Kou.

From the beginning of the war to the present, seven or eight hundred corpses have been left behind, and the losses have been very large.

In this case, they are still charging, in fact, they have already proved their bravery, but unfortunately their bravery is meaningless today.

While the battle was taking place here, the armies of the various guards were also moving, and the fastest had appeared in the rear of the Japanese army, numbering about 2,000 people.

Although they were hundreds of meters apart, these armies also beat the drums of war, causing interference to the charging Japanese army.

"Brothers, prepare to meet the enemy!" Yang Renzhong drew his saber and shouted loudly.

The soldiers with guns had stepped back, and the armed men stepped forward, and they were greeted by a wave of onslaught.

The soldiers who retreated to the rear immediately lowered their muskets, raised their shields and spears, and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

"Kill ......" Yang Renzhong took the lead.

He was a military attache who rose from the bottom, and his blood and courage were hard to reach, and his personal participation in the battle had an excellent motivational effect, making the soldiers' will to fight more and more tenacious.

Yang Renzhong shouted loudly: "Brothers, if you hold a stick of incense, we will win......"

It's just that the armies of the various guards have appeared in all directions one after another, and now they are encircling the battlefield at the fastest speed.

"Kill ......"

In the rear of the formation, the soldiers who had regrouped joined the battle in full gear.

After the previous battle, although the Japanese had suffered serious losses, they still had a strength of nearly 2,000 people, which was still superior to the more than 1,000 people in the Beijing camp.

However, the physical exertion of the Japanese pirates was greater, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp were relaxed and high-spirited, and they directly pressed the Japanese to fight.

On the hillside, looking at the fierce battle situation ahead, Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice: "The soldiers of the Beijing camp are really much higher than the capital division!" ”

In the past few days, Zhu Jinghong has been running around, and Zhu Jinghong has a good idea of what it looks like to fight in various guards, so he gave an evaluation at this moment.

I only heard Zhu Jinghong sigh with emotion: "The Beijing camp is already like this, and the more elite guards and pro-army should be so invincible!" ”

The Guards Pro-Army, both the Guards and the Twenty-two Guards, is an army under the direct command of the Emperor.

These people are better treated, have better weapons and equipment, and also participate in the rotation of the border, so they have always maintained their combat effectiveness.

At this time, Zhang Lin said: "Thirteenth Master, this Yang Shen General, he really has a set of leading troops, and he is also a leader in the Beijing camp!" ”

Zhang Lin's father was the commander of the Beijing Guard, and he himself can be said to have grown up in the military camp and had an objective understanding of the strength of the various departments in the Beijing camp.

"Oh? In this way...... Yang Renzhong is still a talent! Zhu Jinghong groaned.

Since he is a talent, he must be included in his command, and he is already starting to think of a way.

Besides, at this moment, the battle in front is becoming more and more intense, but the Japanese side is already at the end of the crossbow.

As the armies of the guards approached, they had become turtles in the urn, and stubborn resistance was a dead end.

Looking at the battle formation in front of him, Zhu Jinghong said in a low voice: "Spread my words, don't leave a living mouth today!" ”

…………

In Yixing County, after recuperating for a few days, Zhu Jingyuan was able to go to the ground today, which made a group of officials of the Prince's Mansion feel a lot more relieved.

Standing under the corridor and looking up at the sky, Zhu Jingyuan said melancholy: "I hope that today's decisive battle can exterminate the Japanese invaders, and there will be no more mistakes......

After coming to Jinling for more than two months, he did a lot of work to suppress the widows, how could Zhu Jingyuan not be melancholy.

This time I was going to show my father's face, but now this is showing my ass, and I don't know what to be scolded after I go back.

Just when Zhu Jingyuan was sad, Gao Shuyan hurriedly came in from outside.

"Your Highness, the Chin mission is here!"

As soon as he heard that it was a message, Zhu Jingyuan instinctively felt a little weak, but fortunately, the eunuchs on the left and right supported him in time, so that he did not fall.

After a while, a blue-robed official led the guard of honor and walked into the courtyard with steady steps.

It stands to reason that Zhu Jingyuan should go out to greet Zhu Jingyuan, considering Zhu Jingyuan's physical condition, these etiquettes should not be avoided.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a decree on the Holy Father!"

"Minister Zhu Jingyuan, ask my emperor Sheng'an!" Zhu Jingyuan bowed down with difficulty.

"St. Ann!"

After saying this, Qin Cha took out the booklet included in the yellow silk, spread it out and read: "The ...... of the edict"

"The crown prince is not in good health, and it is not suitable to lead the troops to fight, so the matter of transferring troops to suppress the Japanese will be handed over to the Jinling Metropolitan Division for disposal!"

"Er Yu Yingtian will be diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, and he will leave for Beijing as soon as he recovers!"

"Chin this!"

The content of the edict is relatively colloquial, without the abuse that Zhu Jingyuan expected, and it is just a simple statement from beginning to end.

However, from this, Zhu Jingyuan read his father's extreme disappointment, which made him feel deeply remorseful and helpless.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's time to take the order!" Chincha reminds in due course.

"Command, thank you!"

Qin Cha walked down the steps, helped Zhu Jingyuan up with Gao Shuyan, and said at the same time: "In this way, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send someone to call Wang Quanyi, the commander of Jinling, to officially hand over the post of suppressing the Japanese!" ”

"The matter of suppressing the Japanese was handed over to the Jinling Metropolitan Division a few days ago, and today the official army has fought a decisive battle with the Japanese Invaders!"

From Zhu Jingyuan's defeat to the present, it has only taken eight days to fight a full battle, and this is the second decisive battle?

Qin Cha was a little surprised, so he asked about the situation.

Zhu Jingyuan didn't speak much, and Gao Shuyan answered the whole process.

"Great victory, great victory......"

While the three of them were talking, they heard shouts outside, and soon a guard came in to tell them.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, news has come from the front line of Maoshan that the decisive battle against the Japanese has been won......"

"The besieged Japanese have been wiped out by all the officials and soldiers, and none of them have escaped......"

Hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, no matter what he said, the suppression of the widows was done.

However, Gao Shuyan's face changed slightly, and he became more and more jealous of Zhu Jinghong in his heart, just because the contrast between the two brothers was too great.

And the Qin Cha on the side was full of astonishment, and the progress of the extermination was too unexpected for him.

In only seven or eight days, the raging Japanese pirates were wiped out, and there are such powerful generals in Jinling Dusi?

It seems that it is too late to deliver the decree himself.
