please make me king

In July, the fire is burning and the sun is scorching.

As the saying goes: the prosperity will decline, and the prosperity will come.

Under the leadership of Zhang Shun and Hong Tai, the Rebel Army and Hou Jin, after repeated contests, finally shot the sharpest arrow like a fully drawn bow.

This morning, just after dawn, the thunderous drums began to resound through the rebel camp.

With the grinding sound of ropes and wooden beams rubbing against each other, the heavy suspension bridge slowly fell, and finally crashed heavily on the opposite bank of Zhuo River.

Under the guidance of the small pennant held by the banner commander, the soldiers with one banner filed out, and then quickly formed a small formation of one hundred people outside the city.

The Houjin scouts, who were investigating not far away, had already discovered the movement of the rebel army, and hurried away on horseback to the Fanshanbao camp.

"What, 'Shun Thief' took the initiative to fight?" Mrs. Hong couldn't help but slammed the table and stood up.

"Yes, they are lining up along the south bank of Zhuo River, ready to attack our army at any time!" The scout responded quickly.

"Nan'an?" Mrs. Hong couldn't help but look at Fan Wencheng when she heard the words, and couldn't help feeling her teeth ache.

Do you know why?

It turned out that the rebel army marched towards Fanshan Fort along the south bank of Zhuo River, which meant that Hou Jin's cavalry had been attacking the opponent's flank for a long time.

Previously, the Lord Yubao mentioned to Zhang Shun that there was a Black Dragon Pond one mile east of the old city of Zhuolu.

The water is full and overflows, folds and flows eastward, which is called Banquan water.

This Banquan water flows all the way to the northeast, and finally flows through Fanshanbao and flows into the Zhuo River.

And this time the rebel army chose the place where the Zhuo River and the Banquan River were sandwiched.

It is equivalent to being covered by rivers on both wings. This terrain is very beneficial to the rebel side with artillery and infantry as the main combat force.

"This thief always chooses a method that makes me very uncomfortable!" Mrs. Hong cursed fiercely, and then had no choice but to say.

"Let Niu Luer Zhenpiangu of the Xianglan Banner lead a battalion of troops to wander south of Banquan Water, waiting for an opportunity to act."

"Kong Youde led the Tianyou soldiers out of the city to fight, and the red-clothed cannons were set up on the city to help and cheer."

After all, fighting a war is not playing a game. There is no reason to use the mouse to circle around at the beginning to get all the troops up.

The Zhuo River and Banquan water had narrow terrain, and it was difficult for an army to spread out, so Mrs. Hong did not plan to release all her strength at once.

"Dong dong dong!" Not long after, the rebel infantry arrived to the west of Fanshan Fort, and two neat phalanxes were lined up outside the city, one after the other, just like two square boxes.

"That's it?" Seeing this, Mrs. Hong couldn't help but smiled disdainfully.

The two battalions are only [-] people.

Send only [-] people to attack the city, who do you look down on?

Following Kong Youde's order from the "King of Gongshun", the gate of Fanshan Fortress was opened wide. Not long after, the [-] "Tianyou Soldiers" under his command were lined up on the left and right, and they were also slowly approaching the rebel army under the urging of drums.

"Let go!" Seeing the rebel army marching two miles away from Fanshan Fort, the gunner on the city gave an order, and seven or eight iron bullets weighing ten catties flew over.

It's just that because the distance between the two sides was too far, most of the iron bullets flew away, and only one was lucky enough to hit an unlucky guy, smashing him to pieces.

"Change the formation!" The rebel army under the city saw that they had entered the range of the enemy's artillery, and they couldn't help giving an order. The square formation that was originally square suddenly stretched and became a formation that reached Zhuoshui in the north and Ban in the south. The horizontal array of spring water.

Not far behind the formation, there were twenty "Red Barbarian Cannons" neatly arranged, and the black muzzles were like the eyes of falcons, staring at the defenders on the city.

What a trick again!Mrs. Hong couldn't help cursing inwardly, and couldn't help shrinking back into the turret.

"fire!"

"boom boom"

This time it was the turn of the rebels to shoot. Twenty iron bullets smashed into the formation of the "God's Blessing Soldiers". Twenty or thirty people were shot through on the spot.

"Zhiniang thief, fight back, fight back!" Mrs. Hong saw it clearly from the city, so she couldn't help but ordered loudly.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The red cannons on the Shanshan Fort resounded again, this time killing another three or five soldiers of the rebel army.

However, since the rebels are arranged in three horizontal rows, one iron bullet can penetrate at most three, and it has no lethality at all.

On the other hand, the "Tian Blessing Soldiers" listed the "Far West Plum Blossom Array". Although it was better than the traditional solid square array, it still couldn't withstand the artillery fire of the rebel army.

It turned out that part of the tactics and firepower of the rebel army had reached the level of Zhang Shun's previous life in Western Europe from the end of the [-]th century to the beginning of the [-]th century. Naturally, the tactics and firepower of the [-]th century in the Later Jin Dynasty could not resist.

"Let it go, let it go, let it go!" The gunpowder shells of the rebel army seemed to be free of money, and following the return fire from the Hongyi cannon on the Houjin City, they couldn't help but hit back.

Most of the Hongyi cannons of this era are more than one foot long, heavy and difficult to load, and may not be able to fire once in a minute or two.

However, the "field artillery" and "golden artillery" of the rebel army are only four or five feet long, and they are relatively light.

A skilled shooter can shoot two or three shots a minute, and an unskilled shooter can keep at least one shot a minute, so the firepower density far exceeds that of the Houjin "Heavy Soldiers".

"No, go to Western Cannon and Mid-Range Cannon!" Seeing this, Kong Youde frowned and couldn't help but ordered.

The so-called "Western guns" and "medial guns" are probably imported Western field guns, which are roughly equivalent to contemporary three- or four-pound guns.

If these cannons are used by the opponent's contemporary equipment, which is almost the same, or even more backward, the Ming army will naturally be unfavorable.

However, if it is taken as an example to the rebels who are equipped with field guns and golden cannons equivalent to the [-]-pound and [-]-pound guns of the same era, it is almost suicide.

The artillery range of the rebel army basically exceeds [-] paces, and the more accurate shooting is about [-] paces.

However, the actual range of the "Western Cannon" and "Medium Cannon" on the opposite side is only three to five hundred paces, how can they defeat the bombardment of the rebel artillery.

The two sides just fired two rounds at each other, and several iron bullets mercilessly penetrated into the crowd of Houjin gunners, crushing three or five people at once, and immediately frightened the gunners nearby to scatter.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Kong Youde couldn't help leading his servants forward, killing several people in a row, and then he stopped his retreat.

However, the artillerymen are not hand-to-hand fighters, and they lack enough courage and courage. They were so frightened that they were fighting with their legs, how could they be accurate?
Immediately, a group of people just stuffed gunpowder and shells into it, and then clicked and listened.

Since then, it has become more and more no match for the rebels.

"The gunners step forward!" Seeing this, Kong Youde knew that being beaten passively was not a long-term solution, so he had no choice but to order.

However, if you suffer a loss, you will learn to be good.

The last time the "God's Blessing Soldiers" couldn't shoot against the rebels, he had already discovered that the "warriors" in his formation were useless at all, so this time he deliberately separated the two types of soldiers in order to overwhelm the rebels' gunners.

"Boom, boom, boom!" With the great ideal of suppressing the rebel gunners, the golden fire gunners just took the opportunity to form a three-hundred-step formation of the rebel army, when suddenly there was a loud noise, and suddenly a large number of elite gunners seemed to be cut off. Like wheat, one piece after another fell down neatly.

It turned out that when the rear golden fire gunner approached, the rebel artilleryman replaced the solid bullets with shotgun shells. After the rear golden fire gunner approached, he played with a big one.

"'Shun thief', I swear against you!" Kong Youde's eyes turned red all of a sudden, wishing he could rush forward and eat the artillerymen of the rebel army alive.

It turned out that the gunners of the previous rebel army were worried about the charge of the Golden Cavalry, so when the two armies approached, they tried to keep the cannonballs in the barrels as much as possible, just in case, so they didn't enjoy themselves.

Today, I dragged the blessing of the terrain outside the mountain castle to play a big game for the traitor Kong Youde's "God's Blessing Soldiers". I don't know how many elite traitors were killed in a short time.

"My lord, my lord, you can't go to battle. If you die in battle, what will our Kong family do!" Just when Kong Youde was looking crazy, the servants around him had already hugged him tightly to prevent him from being impulsive. Injured his life.

"Let Piangu's cavalry move, otherwise, I'm afraid the 'God Blessed Soldiers' will die!" Standing on the wall, Mrs. Hong watched Kong Youde's ugly appearance, was silent for a while, and finally ordered coldly.
