please make me king

Chapter 1259 I want to see King Shun

Just when Jiang Xiang, a participating general of the Ming army, was about to fight to the death, in fact, the artillery position of the rebel army was already in jeopardy after being attacked by cavalry.

The artillery positions of the rebel army were not the chariot camps of the Ming army, so although there were some gunners, spearmen, and axemen guarding them, they were not enough in number.

Surrounded by the elite cavalry regiments of the Ming army, he was hacked and killed, causing heavy casualties for a while, and those who were beaten retreated.

The blunderbussmen who had released just now also put down the blunderbusses in their hands, and drew out five-foot long knives from the waists of Paoze to assist the spearmen and axemen to defend against the Ming army.

These bird gunners are not Xu Quan's fire gun battalion, so they are not equipped with plug-in bayonets. Instead, they follow Qi Jiguang's system and choose "imitation Japanese swords" as backup hand-to-hand weapons.

"Quick, hurry up and load the shotgun!" At the same time, the artillery banner chief who was surrounded in the middle was yelling at the gunners, urging them to clean up the barrel and load the shells quickly.

They are gunners, and they can only face the threat of the enemy in the way of gunners.

Seeing the two sides fighting together from a distance, Jiang Xiang couldn't help being overjoyed.

"Quick, rush forward, the thief can't hold on any longer!" Jiang Xiang couldn't help shouting loudly.

What Jiang Xiang said was correct, but she was saying half of it and hiding the other half.

The spearmen and axemen of the rebel army could hardly hold on, but once the artillery of the rebel army was reloaded, the nightmare of the Ming army cavalry would come.

The battle opportunity is fleeting, and Jiang Xiang can't help but dawdle, so he becomes more and more anxious.

However, when Jiang Xiang led the remaining two sentry cavalry to charge the rebel artillery position, he did not find that two cannons had quietly aimed at the only way the two sentry cavalry had to pass.

"Boom!" Just as Jiang Xiang and the others were about to gallop to the artillery position of the Rebel Army, there was a loud bang suddenly, and the people turned on their backs, and a large group of these elite servants fell down in an instant.

Jiang Xiang still didn't understand what was going on, but felt that the horse was kicked off when she sat down, and she plunged headlong into the ground.

Now that he is weak and solid, even if he is capable, his cervical spine will be broken on the spot.

Well, Jiang Xiang made a decisive decision. At the moment when he was thrown out by the horse, he quickly took off the stirrups with his feet and stretched his waist.

There was only a "plop", and the guy fell firmly to the ground.

But thanks to his agility, he was the first to get out of the stirrup to save him from being crushed by the mount, and he used his waist strength to make him roll half forward and land on his back first.

He was thrown to the ground all at once, with a man and an armor, about three hundred catties. Jiang Xiang almost lost his breath and couldn't get up for a long time.

The huge pain finally brought back his senses, until this time the sounds of people falling to the ground, screams of personnel, and panic were intertwined and poured into his ears suddenly.

"Hurry... why panic!" Finally regaining consciousness, Jiang Xiang let out the breath he was holding in his chest, and couldn't help getting up and yelling loudly.

The cavalry of the Ming army was suddenly attacked, and Jiang Xiang was at a loss for a while.

It's just that as the commander-in-chief of the first army, he naturally knew that stabilizing the morale of the army was the first priority, so he had to bluff.

It's just that he was stunned as soon as he finished scolding.

It turned out that at a glance, only half of the two Ming army cavalrymen who were suddenly attacked were still fully equipped.

The remaining half, some of them were beaten into sieves on the spot, with only the breath in and no breath out.

Some were seriously injured, rolling and crying on the ground; others lost their horses and rolled on the ground like him.

Not to mention the number of broken arms, broken legs, broken cervical vertebrae, and spines.

"How... how is it possible, the thief... where did the thief get the artillery?" Jiang Xiang couldn't help but asked with a blank face.

It turned out that it was Jiang Xiang's bad luck. Not far from the artillery position he attacked, there were actually two other artillery positions.

Originally, the two artillery positions were relatively far away. If golden cannons and field cannons were used to fire cannonballs, they would hardly reach the artillery position that was attacked.

But this time the rebel army set up artillery positions to attack the city, so a ten thousand catty "General Qingtian Cannon" was set up at each place as the main force for attacking the city.

So when Jiang Xiang ordered other cavalry to attack this position, Zhang Shun had a whim and ordered the two nearby General Qingtian cannons to be loaded with shotguns to support them with crossfire.

It's just that the Qingtian General's cannon is extremely heavy, and it's inconvenient to load.

It took a lot of effort for the two rebels to adjust, and it was easy to complete the adjustment. As a result, the Ming cavalry and rebel artillery positions had long been mixed together, unable to provide fire support.

Zheng Wu of the two artillery positions regretted himself and blamed himself for not being able to help the rebel positions that were being attacked, but happened to see Jiang Xiang leading the other two sentry cavalry galloping, how could he let this good opportunity pass?

The rebel army's "General Qingtian Cannon" has a caliber of [-] inches [-] inches and can shoot [-] catties of solid iron bullets. If it is used to shoot shotgun, the power is naturally appalling.

Originally, the cavalry of the Ming army charged in a horizontal formation, so although the third sentinel Ming army was hit head-on by General Qingtian's artillery for the first time, although the loss was not small, it was still within an acceptable range.

But this time, two Qingtian General Cannons of the rebel army fired cross-fired one from the left and the other from the right. The dense cannonballs almost shot through the entire line of the Ming army. The loss of the Ming army can be imagined.

All the elite cavalry of the Ming army who attacked for a while were all stunned.

They are all highly skilled in martial arts and have been battle-tested. Not to mention a small artillery position, they will go to even thousands of troops.

However, it is such a small artillery position, completely ignoring their galloping horses, their solid armor and sharp swords and bows, and their hard training for ten or even twenty or thirty years. .

Like killing chickens, they slaughtered their robes piece by piece, and everything seemed to collapse for a while.

"How...how could this be? How could this be happening!" He couldn't help throwing the weapon in his hand, and howled loudly meaninglessly.

However, the loud howls of these people did not resonate with others, but instead attracted a burst of numb attention.

Jiang Xiang originally wanted to stand up and appease the crowd, but she couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she saw this, and didn't dare to speak.

Dead, this elite servant whom he exhausted his family's blessings is already dead, leaving only a walking corpse.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Xiang found that the light in front of him dimmed, and heard a voice shouting: "Disarm and don't kill, those who surrender will not die!"

He numbly drew out his waist knife and raised it gently.

When he lifted it to the neck, he couldn't help hesitating for a moment, not sure whether he should wipe his neck directly, or hand over his beloved waist knife with both hands.

Jiang Xiang blankly glanced at the servants and guards who were already kneeling beside him, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

He couldn't help shouting loudly: "I want to see King Shun, I want to see King Shun, I am Jiang Xiang, the guard of Taiyuan County!"
