Liu Zhaosun got angry and got on his horse to swing his gun. He hit the gunner with a Liquan gun as thick as a bowl, until the gunner was killed and countless people were killed.
There were also gunners who risked their lives. More than a dozen people dragged red-coated cannons and bombarded Emperor Wuding. Liu Zhaosun rode up to him and stabbed him with one shot. The spear was like a mutton kebab, killing five or six people on the spot.
"kill!"
The morale of the Qi army was high. Zhang Dong led the remaining cavalry to roar in, slashing at the lone Ming troops wildly. Emperor Wu Ding was in front of him to clear the way. More than a hundred cavalry only had to harvest the defeated troops, like a black iron stream, billowing Come and be invincible.
In a matter of moments, most of Huang Degong's gunners were killed. The Ming army that was lucky enough to survive had no fighting spirit and scattered in all directions. They couldn't be blamed. After all, the commander-in-chief, Mr. Huang, had already escaped. How could these defeated soldiers resist the god-like attack? Emperor Wuding.
"Your Majesty, that bastard Huang Degong has escaped!"
Zhang Mazi stepped forward on horseback, breathing heavily, with blood on his helmet and armor. He raised his sword and pointed eastward. Liu Zhaosun saw that a mile away, a group of servants were fleeing eastward around a chubby general.
Zhang Dong rode his horse and was about to go after him, but Liu Zhaosun shouted: "Ignore him, let's kill these gunners first! Leave Fatty Huang to me!"
Zhang Dong nodded and was about to leave when he saw Emperor Wu Ding dismounting from his horse.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Zhang Mazi was still surprised when he saw Emperor Wu Ding striding forward and swung his hammer to kill two gunners who were rushing towards him. He came straight to a Hongyi cannon and saw Liu Zhaosun grabbing the wheel of the cannon with both hands and bowing. Moving forward, his feet dug into the soil like tree roots, he looked up to the sky and screamed. With a loud roar, the more than 3,000 kilogram Hongyi cannon was moved alive, and the muzzle was pointed directly at Huang Degong, who was escaping in a hurry. .
Liu Zhaosun skillfully grabbed the wool brush next to the gun mount, cleaned the gun barrel, and used a long-handled gunpowder spoon to scoop a spoonful of gunpowder into the barrel, filled it into the gun chamber, and then used a loading pestle to compact the gunpowder... ·
boom!
With a loud bang, the eight-pound iron ball of the Hongyi cannon burst out from the barrel. The iron ball crossed the tragic battlefield and hit Huang Degong's mount, which was running quickly a mile away.
Zhang Dong stabbed an escaped artilleryman with his sword, sheathed the sword, looked up at Emperor Wu Ding, then looked to the east, and mumbled:
"Can this also hit?"
Emperor Wu Ding raised his spear and mounted his horse, rushing towards Liu Zeqing's archer who was still resisting in front, and said without looking back:
"Let the cannon fly for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, the round flesh ball running a mile away was hit by a cannonball. Huang Degong screamed, and his fat body burst into pieces.
Zhang Mazi opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.
It was already daybreak, and Huang Degong's troops had already fled in all directions. Most of his more than 20,000 soldiers and horses fled, and were killed by the enemy and trampled to death by thousands of their own people. The rest only regretted that their parents had lost two children. Before Liu Zhaosun came to kill them, they all dropped their weapons and fled.
All the surviving soldiers of the Qi army at the top of Guangjimen City witnessed the hearty killing below the city. The new recruits who were recruited a month ago asked their companions one after another, asking who this general under the city was who could defeat a hundred gods.
"Fifty-seven, fifty-eight, fifty-nine!"
When a gunman was halfway loading his ammunition, he forgot to compact it with a rod and stared blankly at the red figure whistling like the wind at the bottom of the city. Whenever the general killed an enemy soldier, he would use chalk to mark it. A white line was drawn on the city wall, and before I knew it, I had counted sixty.
"Be good, God has come down to earth,"
The surrounding soldiers stopped what they were doing, the gunners forgot to fire their cannons, and the archers stopped drawing their bows. They all lay on the crenellations of the city wall and looked down. The Ming army archers and artillerymen who had been fighting with them just now were now like The frightened rabbits fled in all directions on the battlefield. Thousands of people were chased and killed by more than a hundred cavalry. These Ming soldiers, who had been like wolves and tigers just now, would rather die than look back. Looking back One look at the murderous enemy general.
When Pu Gang heard the news, he hurried from the Weiwu Gate of the east gate. Under his supervision, the auxiliary soldiers had just put out the fire that had been set off last night. Compared to the war-torn Guangji Gate of the west gate, there were almost no enemies in the east.
Pu Gang, a calm general by nature, couldn't help but became furious when he saw the scene on the city wall. He pointed at the two pheasant chiefs in charge of this section of the city wall and shouted:
"What are you doing? Are you looking at the scenery at the top of the city?" (You are looking at the lonely scenery)
A pheasant leader raised his arm and pointed tremblingly in the distance, pointing at the red figure running around attacking the enemy formation, and said in an excited voice:
"General Pu, what is that?"
Pu Gang grabbed the telescope and was furious. If Kaiyuan military rules were followed, these new recruits should all be beheaded...
Pu Gang was about to order the Zhenfu soldiers to come up and beat the army sticks, but the expression on his face suddenly changed. The Jiangbei Fourth Battalion stationed across the moat was in a mess at some point. The camp was empty, and the camps of Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu were almost invisible. When I saw a figure, Liu Zeqing and Huang Degong's camp was slightly better. A group of broken soldiers were running around like headless flies. It seemed that the camp had been blown up.
Suddenly that familiar figure appeared.
The general was besieged by hundreds of Liu Zeqing's servants,
Swinging a big gun as thick as a bowl, he stabbed, stabbed, struck, blocked, took, pounced, pointed, and poked, and rode and galloped, as fast as flying. Servants were constantly picked up and stabbed to death by the big guns...
"Emperor...Emperor,"
Pu Gang, who was fully armored and serious in speech, suddenly jumped up on the spot like a child, jumping three feet high. He hugged the confused pheasant chief next to him and laughed loudly:
"Hahaha! The emperor is back! The emperor is back!! The emperor is back!!"
The new soldiers at the top of the city stared at their general with dumbfounded eyes. Most of them had never seen Emperor Wu Ding. Even if they had, they couldn't clearly see the fierce man two miles away who was fighting one against a hundred.
"General Pu, the thief was killed and retreated. Do you want to pursue him?"
Only then did Pu Gang regain his composure. He coughed twice, cleared his throat, tried hard to restrain his inner ecstasy, and said seriously in front of the soldiers:
"Ahem, tell me, all the soldiers in the city are dispatched. The cavalry battalion seizes the enemy's flanks. The gunmen are arrayed out of the city to pursue the enemy in battle formation. The artillery launches the field cannons out of the city... Welcoming Emperor Wu Ding to the city!"
~~~~~~~
The four gates of Linqing resounded with the roar of mountains and tsunamis, and the gates creaked and raised. The impatient soldiers in the urn city swarmed out like a tide, and the black antelope flag of the 14th Guards Army instantly Flood the battlefield.
Banners cover the sky, swords and guns are like a forest, armor is clanking, and horse hooves are flying.
The low cymbals and gongs sounded in the ears. The Qi army, which had been trapped in the isolated city for two months, under the command of the generals of each battalion, attacked. From the four gates of Linqing to the battlefield of Guangjimen, the soldiers The anger that had been suppressed in his heart for more than two months was released, chasing the defeated troops of Huang Degong and Liu Zeqing who fled in front.
Eight hundred cavalrymen roared out of the city. After the horses crossed the moat, they spread into two wings. They were like a sickle with a huge arc, outflanking the remnants of Huang Degong and Liu Zeqing's retreating troops from the left and right. The horsemen stood on their horses, with the wind roaring in their ears. From time to time, infantry field artillery passed over their heads and smashed into the enemy formation in front. As they got closer and closer to the enemy formation, some stragglers of the Ming army began to appear in front. The Kaiyuan cavalry raised their scimitars and used the speed of their horses to chop down the stragglers one by one. They waited until they reached the enemy's main formation. At this time, the riders did not spare their ammunition and bows and arrows, using flintlocks and cavalry bows to fiercely greet the Ming army that had fled on both wings.
Huang Degong and Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses were all lost. Half of the tens of thousands of people fled. The remaining more than 10,000 people were already frightened. Many people abandoned their weapons and armor, but still could not escape. In the end, many people were trapped in front of this long four-year-old man. The small space of 500 meters and 200 to 300 meters wide was allowed to be slaughtered by the Qi army.
The cavalry passed by both wings at high speed, and hundreds of corpses fell on the field. The surviving Ming army was even more frightened, and desperately moved closer to the center of the formation. Those in the middle were elite soldiers and the servants of the two general masters. Being pushed and pushed by the panicked crowds at the front and back, he had no way to retreat. He kept swinging his sword to chop at the screaming and scurrying soldiers.
More than a thousand fire gun soldiers lined up in three horizontal lines, beating the exciting drums, and quickly approached the enemy's formation. In order to avoid the cavalry attack, the panicked Ming army turned around and charged towards the fire gun soldiers. Come.
The three hundred gun soldiers in the front row began to load ammunition into their flintlock rifles under the orders of their flag captain. The sword and shield soldiers quickly stepped forward and raised their long cards to protect their teammates who were loading ammunition. A hundred steps away, a A large group of broken soldiers rushed towards this side with wild screams. Some of the trapped archers raised their bows and fired at the fire cannon soldiers.
The arrows banged against the long sign outside. Occasionally, one or two arrow feathers passed through the gap between the shields and hit the fire gun soldiers hiding behind.
"Load!"
"Compact!"
"Raise the gun!"
The flag captain yelled at the top of his lungs. As the sharp bamboo whistle sounded, the long flags covering the front were immediately removed. The front row musketeers pulled the triggers one after another. At the same time, dozens of light arrows whizzed down among the crowd. , a scream came from the fire gun soldiers.
boom! boom!
After a round of volleys, the Ming troops on the opposite side who had rushed fifty steps fell to the ground one after another, like a wheat field blown by the strong wind. More than two hundred corpses fell down together. Some people were shot in the limbs and were still alive, like big snakes. Still twisting and howling on the ground.
"Raise the gun!"
"Fire!"
Before the other side could react, the second round of fire gun soldiers pulled the trigger again, and the other side fell again. Five to six hundred people were defeated, and now only a few dozen people were left standing.
In the end, these dozens of people were covered in blood, with blood stains on their heads and bodies from the people around them. They looked at each other, and before the third round of volleys was fired, they screamed and fled.
The fire gun soldiers began to fire freely. After three consecutive rounds of shooting, the ground in front was strewn with corpses. More than a thousand Ming soldiers fell to the ground. The commander blew the bamboo whistle, and the fire gun soldiers retreated one after another. The black antelope war flag was flying fiercely, and two thousand spearmen, the main force of the 14th Guards Army, walked under the big banner. They formed five dense forests of spears, marching in neat steps, plowing through the battlefield like razors, All enemies who are still alive should be stabbed to death...
~~~~~~
The blood-stained Emperor Wuding, surrounded by the Chinese Guards and the generals of the 14th Guards Army, rode his horse slowly through the Guangji Gate of Linqing. The city walls were covered with onlookers, soldiers and civilians. In the sea of people, the newly recruited soldiers Many soldiers and local people climbed up the crenellations, risking their lives to fall to their deaths, just to catch a glimpse of Emperor Wuding's beauty.
Emperor Wu Ding had just fought a fierce battle, killing and wounding more than a hundred enemy soldiers. He had three horses replaced, and he personally led his soldiers to chase the enemy northward. He also fought another fierce battle. It was only then that he felt physically exhausted.
His eyes slowly scanned the surroundings, and he was not angry at himself. He steeled himself and waved to the tens of thousands of Linqing soldiers and civilians.
"Qi's army is victorious!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Deafening cheers suddenly sounded all around, and Liu Zhaosun felt that his ears were about to be deafened.
"The emperor is mighty!"
"The emperor is mighty!"
