please make me king

"Dong dong dong!" The sky was just dim, and with the sound of battle drums, the gate of Baoan City suddenly opened wide, and groups of infantry came out and lined up under Baoan City.

"Oh? This group of Donglu soldiers have some skills!" Zhang Shun picked up the "telescope" and looked at it for a long time, then couldn't help smiling and said to the left and right.

"This is 'Heaven's Blessing' and 'Heaven's Blessing'!" Seeing this, Na'a Shan couldn't help but hurried forward and explained.

"How do you say that?" Zhang Shun couldn't help asking curiously when he heard the words.

The Rebel Army and Hou Jin had already fought many battles, and Zhang Shun had seen most of the opponent's bordered white flags, bordered red flags, and Zhenglan flags.

It's just that this is the first time he's heard of what the "God's Blessing Soldiers" and "God's Blessing Soldiers" are.

"This 'Tianyou Bing' is the surrendered army of the former Ming generals Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, and the 'Tianzhubing' is the surrendered army of the former Daming general Kong Youde." Ah Shan couldn't help answering.

"It is said that these two soldiers are good at firecrackers and cannons. It is estimated that Mrs. Hong suffered a great loss from His Highness and was specially transferred to deal with our army."

"Oh?" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and asked jokingly, "I don't know how powerful the two battalions are?"

Unexpectedly, before Ah Shan could respond, Gao Qiqian answered with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, don't underestimate these two camps, they are extremely elite soldiers."

"Oh?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but wondered when he heard the words, "I don't know why Mr. Gao made such a statement?"

Isn't it just two rebels? The real "Taijun" king has already fought, so do you care about how many puppet troops will succeed?

"The 'Heaven's Blessing' and 'Heaven's Blessing' were originally recruits trained by Sun Yuanhua, governor of Denglai, using Western methods.” Gao Qiqian couldn't help explaining.

"A battalion of [-] horses, half of which are combat soldiers, and half are team soldiers."

"Among them, the warriors wear armor and hold spears, and the soldiers line up to shoot. In each battalion, there are about [-] bird musketeers, [-] eagle musketeers, and [-] Western cannons. There are eighty cannons with infinite power, and it is quite difficult to control them."

"In the past, Guan Ning, the governor of the miscellaneous family, fought against the elite. Every time he used artillery, firecrackers, and then spears to fight back, he was the most difficult to deal with..."

"Understood, isn't it 'Spanish phalanx!'" Zhang Shun smiled and said disapprovingly.

"Spanish square? What is this?" Gao Qiqian couldn't help being stunned.

Zhang Shun didn't explain, and turned his head directly to Li Shi'an and ordered: "Wait for the two armies to engage in battle in a while, and you give this king a hard bombardment with solid bullets!"

It turned out that the formation formed by the "God's Blessing Soldiers" and "God's Blessing Soldiers" was quite similar to the famous "Spanish Square Formation" in later generations, so Zhang Shun recognized it at a glance.

Of course, if this thing is discussed in detail, it can't be called the "Spanish square".

For example, the firepower of the [-] Western cannons and [-] mid-range cannons it is equipped with is a typical firepower organization of the Ming army's chariot battalion.

And equipped with half of the soldiers and nearly half of the gunners, and then formed a phalanx with soldiers as the core, which obviously absorbed the "Far West Warfare".

If Zhang Shun had not raised his troops, he might have regarded this tactic as a treasure. Now that he has experienced many battles and mastered it thoroughly, he can see the flaws in this tactic after just watching it for a while.

Sure enough, with the sound of the drums, the "Tianyou Bing" and "Tianzhu Bing" approached the rebels like moving fortresses in neat steps.

And the various artillery pieces lined up on both sides of the rebel formation have already been prepared.

"Fire, fire!" Following Li Shi'an's order, the earth-shattering artillery sounded, and the dense, scalp-numbing shells were like raindrops, smashing from left to right.

Solid iron bullets of ten, twenty or even fifty catties pierced through one soldier after another, plowing out bloody paths one after another.

The Spanish phalanx, which was originally prepared to imitate the structure of the bastion, was as fragile as a piece of white paper in the face of the powerful firepower that could destroy the city and break the fort.

"Oh, no!" When Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming saw this, their minds went blank and they froze for a while.

"How is it possible, how is it possible, how is this possible!"

Thirty-five field cannons, thirty-five golden cannons, and forty Qingtian General cannons, a total of one hundred and ten iron bullets of different sizes were fired from both sides, almost each of which could penetrate three to three Five or even a dozen or twenty people.

In this round of shelling alone, the "Tianyou Bing" and "Tianzhu Bing" lost three to five hundred people at once.

Where is this war?

This is simply a one-sided massacre!

"The red-clothed cannon, where is our red-clothed cannon? Fight back, fight back quickly!" Only Kong Youde had some mental preparations in advance, and he was still a little sober at this moment.

Of course, this sobriety is also very limited, I saw him shouting like a madman.

With an order, the Hongyi Cannon, Western Cannon and Mielu Cannon hidden behind the "Tianyou Bing" and "Tianzhu Bing" were pushed out one after another.

Then, with loud bangs, countless shells were fired at the rebel positions.

For a moment, broken limbs and wreckage flew around in the formation of the rebel army, and screams were heard endlessly.

However, in addition to the [-] Hongyi cannons and the [-] to [-] large-caliber Western cannons that caused some losses to the rebel army, the other [-] or so middle-level cannons were heard.

It turns out that the shells fired by these median guns are only the size of pebbles, and the effective range is only two to three hundred paces. How can they reach the rebel formation nearly two miles away?
"I can't do it, I'm going to fight for my life!" Seeing this, Kong Youde knew that "Tianyou Bing" and "Tianzhu Bing" were not opponents of "Shun Thieves" at all, so he immediately became ruthless.

"Now His Majesty is watching from the city. If we can't show our value, how can we have such glory and wealth?"

That is still gratifying, Geng Zhongming suddenly woke up like a dream, and he couldn't help but ordered: "Come on, go to me, go to the front and fire the gun to me!"

This "San Shun King" really deserved to be a first-class ruthless man, seeing that he was no match for the cannon, he wanted to rush within a hundred steps and give full play to his advantage of the blunderbuss.

As soon as the "Tianyou Bing" and "Tianzhu Bing" moved, the Eight Banners cavalry guarding the left and right sides also began to press towards the rebel position.

Since the cavalry battalions Li Zicheng and Fatty Zhang had already been dispatched to the Old Baoan City by Zhang Shun, now there are only two cavalry battalions Li Shukong and Yang Chengzu under his command.

Zhang Shun was reluctant to send out these two battalions of cavalry, so he let Li Shukong lead the cavalry to wander outside, and divided Zhang Fengyi's [-] white-armed soldiers into three parts.

Except for [-] soldiers who remained beside Zhang Shun as guards, the remaining [-] white soldiers were divided into two parts to guard the artillery positions on both sides.

Afterwards, when the Golden Eight Banners cavalry saw that the artillery of the rebel army was exposed in the field of vision, they couldn't hold back any longer. They rushed over together with the "Tianyoubing" and "Tianzhubing" of "San Shun King".
