Ming Zuo

Chapter 828
"The fight on both sides was relatively primitive, and the effect of the artillery was not brought into play at all. You see, although Gao Yingxiang pushed the artillery out, the building car blocked the firing range of the artillery, making the artillery useless."

On the west bank of the Huaihe River, flesh and blood flew, and the sound of killing shook the sky. It has become a Shura hell.

But the east bank of the Huaihe River is calm and peaceful.

The cavalry of the new army leisurely observed the battlefield and made comments by the way.

Beside them, the ant-like peasants were driven by the officials, and they kept delivering supplies to the other side.

Although there were only a dozen or so cavalry in the new army, no one dared to drive them away.

Those court officials just kept their heads down, as if these new troops didn't exist.

The comparison is really sad.

"The northwestern rogues don't seem to pay much attention to the artillery, and they haven't maintained it carefully. Here, the cannon exploded."

All the cannons of the Northwest Rebel Army were captured, and they were already damaged on the battlefield.

There are very few people in the rebel army who understand artillery. They only know how powerful this thing is, but they don't know much about how to maintain it in daily life and how to use it on the battlefield.

This time, in order to defeat Lu Xiangsheng, Gao Yingxiang brought the cannon up.

As a result, the Ming army was not doing well, but the artillery of the rebel army first injured its own people.

The explosion of the artillery caused the death of a dozen or so gunners on the spot, and the barrel of the gun flying high into the sky was thrown dozens of feet away, and then rolled down.

Wherever it passed, people turned their backs on their backs, bones and tendons were broken, and mourning was everywhere.

This scene really frightened the rebels.

The rest of the soldiers stayed away from the artillery. In their eyes, this thing was more terrifying than the devil.

In the middle of the battlefield, Gao Yingxiang is progressing smoothly.Having captured the first trench, the assault on the second trench has already begun.

The Ming army tried hard to maintain its position, but because of its small numbers, it was already on the verge of collapse.

"Master Prime Minister, brothers can't stand it anymore, please help."

Lu Xiangsheng was sullen, unmoved.

"Another half an hour. There is no military order, no retreat."

"Master Prime Minister..."

The general wanted to defend himself, so Lu Xiangsheng pulled out his sword and put it on the man's neck.

"No matter how much you dare to resist and disrespect, this official will never forgive you lightly. If you die, this official will personally take over."

The general was startled, and finally dared not say any more, gritted his teeth and ran back to the front.

The shouts of killing on the battlefield became more and more violent.

The Ming army knew that there would be no reinforcements, and under Lu Xiangsheng's strict order, they did not dare to retreat.

In desperation, courage doubles.

These Ming troops unexpectedly exploded with their full potential, and stubbornly withstood the impact of Gao Yingxiang's troops.

It's not that Lu Xiangsheng doesn't have fresh troops in his hands, but he can't put them on the battlefield right now.

He is waiting.

His eyes looked to the north, which is the left wing.

The right-wing Zuo Liangyu has more than enough self-preservation but not enough aggressiveness. Being able to hold Zhang Xianzhong back is considered to have completed the task.

All of Lu Xiangsheng's expectations were placed on Zu Dabi.

"Zu Er lunatic, Guan Ning cavalry, don't let me down!"

Maybe Zu Dabi heard his nagging.

On the battlefield on the left wing, the brave Guan Ning cavalry dealt a heavy blow to Lao Hui.

Zu Dabi was covered in iron armor and took the lead, brandishing a machete that no one could stop.

His personal soldiers swarmed behind him, forming a frontal formation to protect the safety behind him.

Even if the Guan Ning iron cavalry fought against the Eight Banners cavalry, they would win or lose each other. When encountering the rogue cavalry with not so high quality, they had the upper hand.

The two groups of cavalry went round and round on the ground, fighting for more than an hour.

Guan Ning's iron cavalry is divided and united, and the speed is dazzling.

Although there are many cavalry in Laohuihui, the horses are mixed, and the soldiers are not so well-trained, which leads to chaos.

After a few rounds, several teams were eaten by Guan Ning cavalry.

Lao Hui led the team to charge, but the more he hit, the fewer people around him.

He looked around in a daze, as if he had his subordinates everywhere, but there seemed to be nowhere.

This mysterious feeling made him a little scared.

"Let King Chuang send reinforcements."

Gao Yingxiang was desperately pushing the whole army to attack, and he was surprised when he learned that the old Huihui on the left wing couldn't stand it anymore.

"One word king, please take action and stabilize the left wing."

Gao Yingxiang was relatively cautious in fighting, and deliberately reserved Yizi Wang and Zhuang Tian Wang as backups, fearing that Lu Xiangsheng had prepared some means.

But now Huihui couldn't stand it anymore, the left wing might collapse at any time, so he had no choice but to dispatch troops.

Yiziwang said nothing, and led his cavalry to support.

However, the arrival of reinforcements along the way did not change anything.

Guan Ning cavalry is really good at fighting.

Half an hour later, the left wing's call for help arrived again.

Gao Yingxiang's nerves were jumping wildly, and he always felt that something was out of harmony.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of overwhelming cheers directly in front of them.

"King Chuang, the second front has attacked."

Hearing this, Gao Yingxiang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Break into the sky, the left wing is handed over to you."

King Zhuangtian also heard the situation ahead, and he felt relieved that the outcome would be decided.

"Don't worry, King Chuang, the left wing will be safe and sound."

The soldiers and horses that hit the king of heaven were also mobilized and left the formation.

And all this was clearly seen by Lu Xiangsheng with a telescope.

When purchasing military supplies from Shandong, Lu Xiangsheng received treatment that Li Zicheng and Hong Chengchou did not.

Zheng Jiada specially gave him a pair of eight-power binoculars.

After obtaining this item, Lu Xiangsheng immediately used it on the battlefield as if he had found a treasure.

Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed when he saw that the banner that hit the king of heaven also ran to the left wing.

The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came.

"Come on, launch the artillery and order the front army to disperse left and right."

Dozens of bronze cannons of the Ming army had long been ready for battle, pointing their muzzles forward one after another.

The pawns who were still insisting on getting the order were all overjoyed, and hurriedly ran to both sides.

The rebel army was attacking furiously, and the pressure in front of them suddenly disappeared, which made them a little uncomfortable.

Before they could understand, the earth-shattering roar crashed into their crowd with a metal storm.

Although it is a solid shell, the projectile is not large.But on this kind of flat ground, flesh and blood flew everywhere where the shells rolled, and the blood rained like a waterfall.

Dozens of alleys of flesh and blood suddenly appeared in the dense formation of rebels.

Where the shells pass, the dust rolled up also has terrifying lethality.

All the rebels at the front were swept in, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

On such a battlefield, the bronze cannon showed excellent performance.

After the first round of bombardment, when the morale of the rebels was shaken, the second round of bombardment arrived soon.

This time, not only the infantry were destroyed by the shelling, but the condescending buildings and vehicles would immediately collapse and splatter as soon as they were hit by a single shell.

Messy wood and broken nails splashed everywhere, and anyone who was smashed was either killed or injured.

Lu Xiangsheng drew out his long sword and roared angrily: "The whole army goes out and kills all the rebels!"

All the fresh troops who had been hiding behind and did not fight all rushed out.

The Ming army... began to counterattack.
