please make me king

Chapter 1416 Unscathed
Its daybreak.

The sound of the Hongyi cannons that had been "rumbling" all night by the Jin side finally stopped, but the cannons of the rebels suddenly resounded.

The originally precarious battle situation was reversed all of a sudden.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The "God of War" once again dominated the battlefield, and the rebel army used the power of artillery to fight back again.

After capturing several camps, the Houjin elite soldiers were beaten back and retreated, and it was difficult to parry.

"Let Hauge and Turg withdraw, lest our elite troops be sacrificed in vain!" "Emperor of the Qing Dynasty" Hong Tai ordered with a gloomy face seeing the whole situation turned around.

"This slave takes orders!" Fan Wencheng took a peek at Mrs. Hong's face, and quickly responded honestly.

"By the way, where's Bo Luo? Tell him to come and see me later!" Mrs. Hong threw down another sentence, turned her head and got off the bare city wall of Xibali Fort.

"Yes, the servant knows!"

"My lord, Bo Luo kneels down to ask Sheng An!" Not long after, Bo Luo, the son of Gu Shan Bei, rushed over tremblingly and said.

"Is 'Shun Chieftain' still alive?" Mrs. Hong asked expressionlessly.

"The minister ordered the gunners to fight all night last night, and he must surely die in hell." Bo Luo rolled his eyes and responded hastily.

"You bastard, how dare you make excuses!" Mrs. Hong almost died, "I have been observing the city all night, and I have never seen the 'Shun Bandit' camp in a panic, how can I die in hell!"

"How does this minister know?" Bo Luo couldn't help but knelt down and said, "Last night, the minister just let the shooter fire and never stopped."

"Because of firing too much, a five-hundred-jin red cannon exploded on the spot, and another one later cracked and became unusable."

"A total of [-] catties and [-] taels of gunpowder and [-] cannons were consumed."

"Coco is hard to distinguish in the dark, I don't know how the 'Shun thief' is alive or dead."

"So you still have merit!" The more Mrs. Hong thought about it, the more angry she became. How many troops were mobilized and how many sons were killed last night just for such a thing, and the result was just like this.

"This matter may not be Beizi's fault!" At this moment, Gushan Erzhen Turge couldn't help but suddenly interjected, "Maybe it's because the Han man and I didn't agree with each other and deliberately missed it."

"My lord, please kill that gunner, as a warning to others!"

"Oh?" Mrs. Hong glanced at the ashen-faced Fan Wencheng, and couldn't help sneering, "What about the gunner?"

"Uh, the gunner died unfortunately because of the cannon-cannon explosion." Boluo couldn't help but said embarrassingly.

"I can't deal with you anymore?" Hong Tai's expression became more and more serious.

"The minister is guilty." Boluo suddenly sweated profusely from fright.

"Boluo's entrustment was ineffective, and he only focused on deception, so that our army lost soldiers and generals, and missed a major event. Immediately remove the title of Viscount Bei, and stay in the army for the time being to pay for his crimes!" Mrs. Hong couldn't help but coldly said.

And when Mrs. Hong punished Boluo, Gushan Beizi, in the rebel camp, a group of people looked at the big tent of the Chinese army with amazed expressions, and whispered: "Sure enough, Your Highness is as blessed as the heavens, and you have Liu Ding Liujia protection!"

"What's the matter? The war has just ended, Jianlu has not traveled far, and the danger is not gone. You are not doing your job properly, why are you pointing around here?" Zhang Shun stayed up all night, heard the noise outside, and couldn't help but came out and scolded.

"Your Highness, look!" At this moment, Ji Longfeng, Zhang Shun's new personal guard general, pointed to the surrounding situation and gestured to Zhang Shun.

"Oh?" Zhang Shun took a closer look and couldn't help being startled.

Do you know why?

It turned out that last night, the black lights were out of order, and the Houjin gunner couldn't see where the shells landed, so he just shot indiscriminately.

Unexpectedly, there were dozens of shells scattered around Zhang Shunzhong's tent, and none of them hit the tent, which surprised everyone.

In fact, although the artillery of this era is not so accurate, but after careful adjustment, it may not be impossible to hit a target as large as the Chinese army's tent.

However, due to the weather, it cannot be corrected.

In addition, after the experienced old gunner was killed, the other gunners were even more incompetent and unable to hit the target. This gave everyone the illusion that Zhang Shun had the body protection of "Liu Ding Liu Jia God".

"Okay, okay, let's all go away. This is a military secret, you must not tell a third person, or you will be dealt with by military law!" Before Zhang Shun could react, Song Xiance couldn't help standing came out and warned sharply.

The rebel army has always been strict in military law, and when everyone heard that "military punishment" was required, they were shocked and went back to their tents.

"Sir, you...you are really..." Zhang Shun didn't know what to say for a while.

Originally, the phrase "Six Ding Liujia" was a rhetoric he used to stabilize the morale of the army.

As a result, now that Song Xiance has made such a "cover up", it is estimated that the soldiers will really regard this as the reincarnation of "Emperor Shun" in the future.

Many things in the world are just so strange. For example, the more you keep secret, the more likely it will be known to everyone.

Verbally threatened like Song Xiance, but the actual punishment will not be punished, but it will make people more convinced.

"Military strategy, military yin and yang, military situation, and military skills are the four schools of military tactics. Now it is in line with the way of military yin and yang, so why not?" Song Xiance couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Okay!" Zhang Shun thought for a while, and finally nodded.

To be honest, now I have led the rebel army to this point.

Although they have gained a strategic advantage over Houjin, but until the last moment, no one dares to say that they are sure.

Especially last night Houjin's killing move really caused a lot of damage to the rebel army, which made Zhang Shun, who was quite complacent, cautious again.

My family knows my own family affairs, although the situation of the rebel army is very good now, but most of the important officials and famous generals under his command are ministers of the former Ming Dynasty.

If someone really had a brain twitch and suddenly surrendered to the enemy, the whole situation might collapse.

That being the case, it is still a good way to stabilize the current situation by advocating "the divine right of the king" and "the destiny is my destiny".

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but shook his head and said, "The art of yin and yang is not a legitimate method, so I ask Song Xiance to use it with caution in the future."

The two have made a plan, so let's not mention this matter.

Zhang Shun returned to the tent, washed his face with cold water, and continued to deal with government affairs.

"Your Highness, Li Zicheng has just sent an envoy to report that the people who attacked our camp last night have been found, and they came from the direction of Bao'an Old City and crossed Ta'er Mountain." At this moment, Xu Ziyuan hurried in and said.

"What? When did the Tartars transfer their troops to the old city?" Zhang Shun frowned and said.

The Old Baoan City is only [-] miles away from Jiming Station. If they are left alone, and the two sides come out again during the decisive battle, I am afraid that things will be troublesome.

"How about this, let's take down the old city of Bao'an first, and then attack the new city!" Zhang Shun pondered for a moment, and finally decided.
