"ah!"
"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"
"If this thief doesn't die, where will the face of our rebel army be, and where will the face of our rebel warrior be?"
"Commander, the last general is calling for battle, and I swear to kill this thief from his horse!"
"..."
The thieves and bandits all asked for battle one after another, and their morale was as high as ever.
Zhu Chongyuan gritted his teeth, but shouted angrily: "What's the rush? General Wu Liuqi hasn't come back yet, wait until he comes back to ask about the situation!"
But when Wu Liuqi was lying on a war horse and was brought back by his guards, Zhu Chongyuan and other generals present were completely stunned.
At the same time, Wu Liuqi held his last breath and shouted, "Commander!"
Then, he rolled off the horse.
Zhu Chongyuan was shocked and immediately shouted, "Quick, pick up Wu Liuqi and treat his injury quickly!"
All the generals stepped forward and rescued Wu Liuqi.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief that General Wu Liuqi was shot in the chest by an officer and was seriously injured."
Zhu Chongyuan hurriedly walked to Wu Liuqi with the support of his left and right guards. At this time, Wu Liuqi was lying on the ground, breathing weakly. It was obvious that he had lost too much blood and was in shock.
"Send the order, the entire army shrinks, secures the defensive line, and immediately sends the commander's personal physician over to treat General Wu Liuqi's injuries."
When Zhu Chongyuan and the generals saw the wound on Wu Liuqi's chest, they were all stunned and turned pale.
I saw that the armor plate on Wu Liuqi's chest had been pierced, and the chain armor inside was torn to pieces. The iron pills were deeply embedded in his flesh and blood, and black blood gurgled outwards.
"What a terrifying penetration!" Zhu Chongyuan couldn't help but exclaimed.
Wu Liuqi is a lieutenant general in the army. The armor on his body is made by specialized blacksmiths, using fine iron. Each blade is hardened and can block almost all crossbow arrows, but now it can block almost all crossbow arrows. Can't live with the firearms of the army.
"It's so powerful that it penetrates the armor?"
"Yes, it stands to reason that the penetrating power of this firearm is just that it can break through iron armor. The chain armor inside can easily prevent iron pellets. What's going on?"
"Yes, the firearms of the army are too evil?"
"..."
But before the generals could react in horror, the words of one of the guards, Wu Liuqi, made all the generals present turn pale with horror.
I only heard the guard say in horror: "Commander Qi, several generals, this was a shot fired by General Wu Liuqi who was hiding behind his horse. If there was no horseback to block him, General Wu Liuqi would only I’m afraid that…”
"Wow!"
The generals couldn't help but let out a cry of horror.
A double layer of iron armor and a layer of chain mail couldn't stop this firearm?
How can this be?
Then if you go to the battlefield, won't you die with one shot?
The generals began to discuss in low voices, nothing more than how powerful the army's firearms were on the battlefield.
This made Zhu Chongyuan very angry, and he frowned. He was shocked and angry now. What shocked him was the terror of the army's firearms, and what made him angry was that even these generals were afraid of them. How could they continue to fight this battle?
Similarly, he was also a little afraid of the combat effectiveness of Li Yi's new army. He knew that Li Yi's new army was powerful, but he did not expect it to be so powerful.
Leaving aside the firearms, the army on the opposite side did not use firearms very much. In just half a stick of incense, they completely defeated the 10,000 infantry army, and also took two brave young generals with them, one dead and the other injured.
It can be seen that the officers and soldiers not only have sharp firearms, but also have strong hand-to-hand combat capabilities!
What should we do? Are these hundreds of thousands of troops trapped in this tiny place and forced to death?
"Commander, the little emperor is well prepared, and the officers and soldiers under his command are also fierce and good at fighting. With just a thousand cavalry, they defeated our 10,000 infantry." Qiu Jun squinted his eyes, shook his head and sighed.
Zhu Chongyuan's face became even more ugly, he snorted angrily and said coldly: "Why, is it very strong? The elite cavalry of my old battalion can also defeat 10,000 infantry troops, this is nothing!"
Hearing this, Qiu Jun quickly lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"In that case, let the officers and soldiers see what I can do!"
"Who dares to lead an army in a battle!"
As soon as Zhu Chongyuan finished speaking, the bandits and generals all bowed their heads and remained silent, showing fear on their faces.
The bandit general who used to be fierce and aggressive was now completely beaten by Li Yi and lost his temper.
Especially after a series of tiger generals such as Zhu Yong, Zhu Lin, and Liu Zongmu were killed, the remaining generals lost their courage and did not dare to compete with the officers and soldiers again.
This made Zhu Chongyuan so angry that he suddenly became furious, "Okay, don't you dare to go?" Then click General!
"Li You, Li Daoyi, you two lead 20,000 infantry troops to charge forward. I will mobilize 10,000 crossbowmen for you to suppress the formation!"
"I want to see how Li Yi can resist this time."
But when the military order was given, Li You and Li Daoyi huddled in the queue of generals and did not dare to accept the order.
Zhu Chongyuan was even more furious, "Li You, Li Daoyi, are you two deaf? Can't you hear my commander's military orders?"
Li You and Li Daoyi were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy, crying loudly, "Commander, we two brothers have been following you for many years, starting from the Sanqin Uprising. For so many years, we have worked hard without any credit. How could you do this? Treat both of us.”
"Yes, Marshal, please forgive us because we two brothers have served you for so many years!"
"Commander, please spare us!"
"Spare us!"
"..."
Zhu Chongyuan was in a daze for a while, and he even doubted whether he heard it wrong!
Once upon a time, these generals fought fiercely to compete for their quota, but now, they even knelt down to avoid fighting.
This really made Zhu Chongyuan feel like a knife, and he immediately stood up and said angrily: "You two bastards were frightened by the officers and soldiers to become such a virtuous person. You are rubbish. You are really rubbish. If I don't kill you today, how can you establish your authority?" !”
"Somebody come!"
"promise!"
"Drag Li You and Li Daoyi down and show their heads to the public!"
"Call to the whole army that anyone who dares to fear the battle will be killed without mercy!"
With two screams, the heads of two generals, Li You and Li Daoyi, were brought up. The other generals were so frightened that they knelt down to ask for a fight.
Following an order, the bandit camp took action again. This time there were 20,000 infantry troops, followed by 10,000 crossbowmen. Behind them were Zhu Chongyuan's elite cavalry of the Chinese army, responsible for supervising the battle and holding down the formation.
This time, Zhu Chongyuan was furious, and all his generals were afraid to fight. This was not a good sign. Once this evil trend spread to the entire army, the rebel army would be completely finished.
If you don't succeed in this battle, you will be benevolent!
The dark mass of 20,000 infantry troops carried various flags and roared, followed closely by 10,000 crossbowmen.
At a distance of two hundred steps from the new army's camp, the bandits' crossbowmen began to fire intensively.
The sky was full of arrows, like locusts, and in an instant, almost all the front positions of the New Army camp were covered.
At the center of the New Army camp, Li Yi also sat in a circle with a group of generals.
Looking at the thieves and infantry troops charging towards him, Li Yi sneered. Zhu Chongyuan really had some tricks up his sleeve. Unfortunately, times have changed. How can a mere crossbow block a blunderbuss?
If you want to use crossbows to cover the infantry, there is no way!
"Send the order, wait until the bandit infantry enters fifty steps into the position before firing, and tell the soldiers not to leave anyone behind!"
Li Yi shouted.
Fifty meters in front of the New Army camp, thousands of trenches have been dug. The trenches are full of spikes. It is impossible to cross the trenches. Moreover, the trenches are connected to the trenches, so it is impossible to climb over them. .
When the thieves' infantry rushed to the fifty-meter mark, they were completely dumbfounded. The ditch was filled with dense spikes, making it impossible to climb over.
But at this moment, the new army's muskets roared horribly, and the gunfire sounded like thunder.
The New Army infantry hiding behind the fence greatly reduced the damage of bows and arrows, but the thieves' infantry on the opposite side were not so lucky. The bare front of the formation was crowded with thieves' infantry.
With the continuous firing of firecrackers, the thieves and infantry soldiers fell to death one by one. At a distance of a hundred steps, even wearing iron armor could not stop the iron pills, let alone the distance of fifty steps. What's more terrible is that these steps The army also had no iron armor, only leather armor.
Under the fire of fire cannons, they fell to the ground and died in pieces like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Finally, the thieves and infantry troops, carrying heavy casualties, finally filled the trench with corpses. But facing the fence made of rough wood, were they completely confused?
There is no way, you can't rush over, and you can't escape the end of being shot to death if you rush over.
The bandit generals behind roared angrily. This was no longer a battle, but a massacre. It was a massacre!
But the elite cavalry of the Chinese army were waiting in full formation. Anyone who dared to retreat would be killed, including him.
In the bandit camp, Qiu Jun was so anxious that the officers and soldiers did not give them a chance to engage in hand-to-hand combat. They only used firearms to fight the enemy, and the infantry they killed suffered heavy losses.
Zhu Chongyuan didn't know, but he gritted his teeth and refused to retreat.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t dare!
Once it retreats, the energy will be completely gone!
Then the whole army will be defeated here!
