"Second row, let go."
Another burst of "crackling" muskets sounded, and another group of rebels in front fell.
The rebels approaching the front suddenly stopped, and some did not dare to rush up.
After Niu Xing experienced the panic, he gradually came to his senses.
He also knew that the musket was powerful, but it took too much effort to load the gunpowder, and it was impossible to shoot continuously. Once someone rushed to it, it was of no use and could only be used as a fire stick.
As long as you are fast enough and rush forward quickly, those musketeers will be the dead souls under your sword.
Thinking of this, Niu Xing felt relieved and shouted to the top: "Brothers, don't be afraid, the distance between the muskets is too long, rush up quickly and kill them. Whoever dares to stop moving forward, I know him, But my sword doesn't recognize him. Charge me."
"Kill."
After the crowd stopped for a moment, they quickly rushed up the hillside.
"Third row, let go."
Another row of gunshots came from above.
Because the charging rebels were very dense, almost every gun hit the target. However, many people hit the same target, and some people were shot seven or eight times in a row.
After three rounds of gunfire, two to three thousand rebels fell down. This hit rate was really high.
Even Li Chengzu, who was personally commanding, couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, showing an expression of disbelief.
Everyone knows that muskets are useless and no one wants to use muskets. Li Chengzu himself also knows that the Shenji Camp established by Emperor Longqing is nothing more than a decoration. It is placed there to look good and has never been put to use.
The first time he appeared, his power actually shocked him.
In fact, what Li Chengzu didn't know was that the reason for this result was not how powerful they were, but that the rebels' charging formation was too dense, and they could hit even if they hit with their eyes closed.
Once the rebel formation disperses, it is estimated that more than half of them will miss the target. It would be good if these three rows can kill several hundred people.
Niu Xing also saw the casualties ahead, but he didn't pay attention, and he didn't let anyone stop. Instead, he urged him even more. I want these men to rush forward as soon as possible and seize those cannons.
Because the artillery fire above has never stopped. If it continues like this and is not stopped, the morale of the army will really lose, and it will be defeated without fighting. Therefore, even if everyone is killed, those cannons must be taken down. If they cannot be taken down, they will be destroyed.
Niu Xing knew that he had no other way to go. If he failed again this time, his eldest brother would be furious and would probably kill him.
But what made him helpless was that after three rounds of volleys came down, half of the 10,000 troops were lost, leaving only 5,000 people.
This made him wonder, when did muskets become so powerful?
But at this time, his men were almost rushing to the Musketeers.
Niu Xing shouted again: "Brothers, work harder, victory is right in front of you, they will have nothing to do if they rush forward."
Seeing that the rebels were almost approaching, the musketeers in the first row fired another shot, immediately followed the passage, entered the third trench, and began to load gunpowder.
After three more rounds of firing, Niu Xing's rebels were left with less than 4,000 people.
At this time, they also rushed to the first trench. When they saw the trench in front of them, they were dumbfounded.
The trench in front of me was two meters wide, nearly one person deep in front, but more than two meters in the rear. It was obviously difficult to cross from low to high.
While everyone was stunned, another three rounds of volleys of gun fire came.
This time, nearly a thousand people were lost, leaving only more than two thousand and less than three thousand people.
When Niu Xing saw the trench in front of him, a look of helplessness appeared on his face. He looked up and saw that there seemed to be two identical trenches. He cursed in his heart. Why were these bastards so difficult to deal with? This was the first time he had encountered them. What about this situation.
He glanced at the two thousand people left around him and knew that his
The goal cannot be accomplished.
Even after crossing the first trench, there are two more trenches behind. With just this few manpower, it is no longer enough to lose. Instead of everyone dying here, it is better to escape first.
Thinking of this, he shouted to the rebels around him: "Brothers, nothing can be done today. Let's all retreat first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and ran down the mountain. Seeing this, the remaining rebels also dispersed.
No one wants to die. When nothing can be done, escaping is the first priority.
After another round of firing, the remaining rebels disappeared.
Li Chengzu, who had won a great victory, was very happy. This was a proper military achievement.
When he came to Li Biao, he laughed and said: "Brother Li, this battle was really exciting. It is a pleasure to fight with the commander."
This was the first time Li Biao saw the power of muskets, and he was a little surprised. Only then did he understand the purpose of his master's hard work in developing muskets. If they were to use his master's shotguns, none of the rebels would be able to escape.
Li Biao smiled and said: "Brother Li has commanded well and has made great achievements this time. I would like to congratulate Brother Li here first."
Li Chengzu smiled and said: "It's all because of the commander-in-chief's planning that we can accomplish some small feats. Everything is thanks to the commander-in-chief."
At this time, one hundred cannons had fired ten rounds, and a thousand shells fell into the rebel camp, causing casualties of at least 10,000 to 20,000 people, and the entire enemy camp was in chaos.
The lethality is secondary. The key is that the deterrent power is too great.
No one knows when a cannonball will fall on their forehead. This kind of unknown fear is simply crazy.
Li Biao also asked people to stop the bombardment and fired ten times in a row. They had reached the limit of these cannons. If they continued, they might blow up the hall. The task here has been completed, and there are other tasks next.
······
Seeing the tragic situation in the enemy camp, a smile appeared on Jia Cong's lips.
He knew that the enemy army had been defeated, was demoralized, had no morale, and was no longer able to stop his army. He was certain to win this battle, and it was time to launch a general offensive.
Jia Cong put down the telescope in his hand and gave the order to attack.
"Everyone will obey the order."
The generals around him quickly responded with their hands raised: "The general is here."
Jia Cong said loudly: "The enemy army is in chaos and has lost its morale. I have ordered the entire army to attack."
"I will obey the commander's orders."
After receiving the order, all the soldiers dispersed and gathered their own troops.
At the same time, the attack horn sounded.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo..."
"Winter, winter, winter, winter, winter..."
The low sound of the horn, accompanied by the sound of war drums, resounded through the sky and was deafening.
Countless officers and soldiers, to the sound of war drums, attacked the enemy on the opposite side.
"Kill, kill, kill..."
These generals are not fools. They already know the situation of the enemy army. Now is a good time to gain military glory. They rush to lead their soldiers into the enemy's formation one by one.
······
At this time, Li Chuang was already exhausted.
Facing the crowds of people running around, no matter how much they shouted, they simply didn't listen.
Facing the shells falling from time to time overhead, the entire camp was reduced to a mess.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Chuang felt chilled in his heart, knowing that he had lost this time, and he had lost completely.
Now that this is the case, it is better to retreat early and retain some strength to regain the position next time.
Thinking of this, he must call everyone to retreat.
But at this moment, the war drums on the opposite side suddenly sounded, and the officers and soldiers had already sounded the horn of charge. The densely packed officers and soldiers poured towards them like a tide, with great momentum.
Li Chuang's face changed drastically and he shouted loudly: "Everyone listen
Order, retreat, retreat for me. "
However, the entire camp was in chaos and it was impossible to assemble the team. In desperation, they had no choice but to abandon those people and quickly retreat to the rear with the surrounding cronies.
Before they could even run a few steps, a group of cavalry rushed up like a tide. Their hooves sounded like thunder, and they charged into the crowd with an aura soaring to the sky.
The army from the rear also rushed in immediately and started a fierce fight.
The rebels, who were already in chaos and without any morale, dared to resist, so they turned around and ran away.
While running, he shouted: "Run quickly, the officers and soldiers are coming to kill you."
Zheng Huaicheng led his cavalry on a rampage. Relying on the speed of the cavalry charge and the hard armor, amidst the terrified screams of the rebels, countless rebels were knocked out by the horses and then trampled by the hoofs of the horses.
The rebel soldiers were knocked away, crushed, and trampled to pulp by the war horses. One rebel was knocked away by the war horse, and then trampled on by the horse's hooves. Accompanied by the sound of broken bones, he let out a shrill scream. .
As the long knife was swung, heads flew up, severed limbs flew everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere.
Wherever he passed, there were only stumps and broken arms left on the ground. The ground was stained red with blood and looked extremely bloody.
The rebels who were killed were crying for their fathers and mothers, crying like ghosts and howling like wolves, and they only hated their parents for having two legs.
Facing such ferocious cavalry, the rebels' morale collapsed, and they could no longer suppress their inner panic, screaming and running to the rear.
Li Chuang had already escaped for some distance. When he looked back and saw this scene, he couldn't help but burst into anger. He was so angry that his liver and lungs were fried. He crushed his teeth in his mouth and screamed in anger.
"My dear Jia Cong, you have gone too far to bully others. I will never let you off."
At this time, Niu Xing ran out from nowhere, pulled Li Chuang and shouted anxiously: "Brother, run quickly. If you don't run, you won't be able to leave. If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. We will have this grudge again in the future." Just report back."
When Li Chuang saw Niu Xing, he couldn't help but glared: "Didn't I ask you to destroy those cannons? What do you do for a living? Why didn't you destroy the cannons? You know, it's because of your failure that we It’s almost finished.”
Niu Xing said with a mournful face: "Brother, they have set up an ambush there a long time ago. As soon as my brothers rushed up with their men, they were ambushed by them, and half of their men were lost in one fell swoop.
I originally wanted to give it a try, but before I could rush forward, there were only two thousand people left. They were no match for me at all. My brother was lucky enough to escape with his life, but when he saw that there were only dozens of people left around him.
Brother, we are in trouble this time, so let’s leave quickly. These people are too insidious, and we don’t know what back-ups they have. If we hesitate any longer, we really won’t be able to leave. "
Li Chuang glanced at the battlefield behind him unwillingly, suddenly turned around, and roared: "Let's go."
With more than 10,000 people gradually gathering, they quickly fled to the rear.
After running for more than ten miles, I just got rid of the chasing troops in the rear.
Li Chuang let out a long breath, turned his head and looked to the rear. He could still faintly hear the shouts of killing from behind. He saw the 10,000 people behind him, and this was the only one left of his 100,000 army. I couldn't help but bleed with distress.
Niu Xing, who was beside him, was also thoughtful and did not speak again.
Li Chuang sighed, turned around, and continued walking forward. When he saw the road leading through the canyon in front of him, he couldn't help reining in his horse.
After observing it carefully, I couldn't help but raise my head and laugh.
The sudden laughter made all the generals look at Li Chuang in confusion.
I thought to myself: "You are so defeated and yet you can still laugh. Could it be that you are so angry that you are going crazy?"
Niu Xing stammered: "Brother, what's wrong with you? You don't know your brain. Your brain is broken."
Li Chuang snorted coldly and said, "You're just out of your mind. I'm very good. I'm just laughing at Jia Cong. However, if there is an ambush in front of a group of people, it will be almost impossible for us to escape at this time." "
Niu Xing said quickly: "What the eldest brother said is that Jia Cong's son was lucky enough to defeat us this time. When we get back together,
, I must capture Jia Cong's son alive and kneel in front of his elder brother to apologize. "
Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of people rushing out from the mouth of the valley, blocking everyone's way.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, a group of defeated generals still dare to speak arrogantly and insult our commander here. They really don't know how to write the word "death". Now that we are here, we must accept our lives."
The visitors were none other than Guo Dazhi, the commander of the Yangwei Battalion, and his 10,000 soldiers.
Following Jia Cong's orders, I set up an ambush here.
I wasn't too happy about it at first, but I didn't expect to catch a big fish.
Guo Dazhi shouted: "Brothers, kill me and capture the leader. I will dedicate him to the commander-in-chief and let him kneel in front of the commander-in-chief to make a proper apology, as well as the one who just spoke."
Seeing the officers and soldiers who suddenly appeared and charged towards them, Li Chuang took a breath of cold air. The excitement just now had long since disappeared, leaving only shock and fear in his heart. This really didn't give him any chance of survival.
He thought about how he, a dignified leader of the rebel army, had fought countless battles, but had he ever fallen to this point.
For the current plan, he can only sacrifice his life to fight a bloody road and escape back to Yulin, in order to have a chance to make a comeback.
Thinking of this, Li Chuang shouted loudly: "Brothers, now we have enemy troops in front of us and pursuers behind us. There is only one way to go, and that is to fight a bloody path. Otherwise, everyone will die. If you don't want to die, Follow me and fight out."
"Kill, kill, kill..."
These rebels who followed Li Chuang to break through were almost all his cronies and elites. After hearing this, they naturally didn't hesitate and faced the Yangwei camp in front of them and killed them.
