Walking in the infinite world

Chapter 88 Slay the general and capture the flag, just now

Zhang Xianzhong has been in high spirits recently.He is now the strongest battalion in the 36th battalion.The number expanded to 3.Not long ago, the Ming army had just been defeated in Shanxi.Having looted a large amount of weapons and food, the days at this time are not so happy.

But Zhang Xianzhong is not satisfied, he is a real hero.Now that he has achieved a little, it is still far from his psychological expectations, and he wants more.

Therefore, he has been very alert.Zhang Xianzhong originally read books and received military training.After the momentum, several scholars were also recruited as staff.At least on the shelf, his group has a little shadow of the army.

In addition to grabbing a lot of food, these people can eat enough.So there is still some fighting power.At least it is much stronger than the Ming army who can't eat enough.

Zhang Xianzhong had arranged sentries.So, when the sentry reported that a Ming army was approaching them.He wasn't surprised.

"Let's go, I want to see, which one with no eyes is here to deliver food to us again."

Zhang Xianzhong was arrogant and domineering, and the generals below also agreed.After several consecutive victories, they had no fear of the Ming army at all.

But what they didn't know was that the Ming army they faced this time was completely different from the previous ones.

Zhang Xianzhong saw that there were only [-] people on the opposite side, and there were no scouts to explore the way, so he swaggered on the road.It was concluded that this was just a Ming army reluctantly gathered after being scattered.This kind of rout is the best way to fight, and it will be scattered immediately if it is rushed.Then just kill.

"It's a bunch of rabble again. But their armors are pretty good. I'm afraid they came from the Beijing camp, so I'll take them down and replace them with the brothers."

When Lu Xiao saw tens of thousands of rogues rushing up.His face became slightly weird.Two miles away, they began to charge.What is this tactic?
Didn't you say that Zhang Xianzhong was a military man?What is this called, a wave comes over.This is also considered military knowledge.But on second thought, it is estimated that there is no way to do it.After all, most of Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates were just rogues.To put it bluntly, they are young and strong migrants.Not a regular army at all.

If he gets too complicated tactics.These rogues also do not have the ability to execute.And the reason why the Ming army could not beat them.It is because the quality of the Ming army is not much better.And if they don't take it as a person, these Ming troops have no fighting spirit.Therefore, it is impossible to beat Zhang Xianzhong at all.

In the face of a brain attack of tens of thousands of people.There was a slight disturbance among the soldiers of the Zhongyongwei.After all, the charge of tens of thousands of people is still very oppressive.But under the scolding of several commanders, order was quickly restored.

Then the crowd quickly dispersed, revealing the thirty red-clothed artillery guards in the middle.

The battle not long ago obviously made these gunners make a lot of progress.They skillfully loaded the ammunition and fired a salvo directly at the enemy.

Zhang Xianzhong, who was watching the battle from a distance, also saw the artillery of the Ming army.His men were a little uneasy.

"General, the Ming army has a lot of artillery. Are the casualties of the brothers a little heavy?"

"Don't worry, you forgot what the Ming army cannons we saw last time. On average, they blew up one out of every three. When they did, they destroyed their own positions."

"Yes, yes, what the general said makes sense."

Soon, however, they noticed something was wrong.Because the thirty artillery pieces not only fired successfully.And the lethality is amazing.Flower bombs fell on the rogues, directly blowing hundreds of people to pieces.

Just a salvo, the rogues on the opposite side began to shrink.The Ming army artillery encountered before, but not so strong is the lethality.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong in the rear waved his hand indifferently.Directly let the supervising team play, and kill those retreating rogues one by one.This allowed the formation that had collapsed to stabilize the people, and then the rogues began to charge again.

But at this time, the second round of loading has been completed.

Under another salvo, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't sit still.

"It seems that this group of Ming troops has a bit of a way to go. No wonder they dare to swagger in this generation. You two, lead two teams, and attack the enemy's position from the side. Be sure to contain the artillery of the Ming army."

Although Zhang Xianzhong felt a little surprised.But he didn't panic at all, because he knew that the number of people on his side was more than three times that on the other side.Therefore, it is completely possible to surround each other, and then nibble bit by bit.

Those rogues who rushed up from the flanks were obviously of much higher quality.These should be Zhang Xianzhong's personal soldiers.They are all tall, muscular young adults.

Lu Xiao raised his hand slightly.A herald next to him immediately waved the bunting in his hand to the rear.After a few breaths, two special teams rushed out of the team.

They were in groups of two, carrying a small mortar-like artillery, and quickly set up positions on both sides.

These people are strong and skilled.In just half a column of incense, the layout of the position was completed.And these small artillery pieces are much more numerous than the red-clothed artillery pieces.At a glance, there are at least hundreds of statues in each position.

These cannons are called Tiger Cannons.It is a small artillery that Qi Dashuai liked to use very much.The Tiger Gun is small in size and light in weight.It can be carried by soldiers and quickly traverse complex terrain.Then quickly set up a temporary position.It is a type of artillery similar to a mortar.

The biggest weakness of this type of artillery is that it has a short range, only about [-] to [-] steps (I have checked some information and I have seen a saying that the Tiger Zun Cannon can hit four miles. But it feels a bit nonsense when you think about it) .

This kind of artillery can actually not fire a single shell.Instead, iron sand, or even gravel tiles, can be stuffed into the barrel.Then spray at the enemy.There is a feeling of a large shot.

So the range can't be too far, and the rate of fire is not high.However, this is the Daming Foundry behind Zhongyongwei, the most mature artillery.Therefore, Lu Xiao was equipped with a large number of such weapons.

Zhang Xianzhong saw that Zhongyongwei was dragged out by another [-] artillery pieces.His face finally began to change.He began to feel that this was a bit difficult for the Ming army to deal with.

Just when Zhang Xianzhong was about to go into battle in person and lead the reserve team to take only the enemy's tent.Lu Xiao is actually doing the same thing.

"Looking back, I haven't made a shot for a few years. This man named Zhang Xianzhong is a character and deserves my shot. Ding Xiu, you are the vanguard. Order five hundred troops and break the formation with me."

While talking, Lu Xiao put on heavy armor.He took a horse lance that Ding Xiu handed over and waved it a few times, feeling okay.

Then Lu Xiao got on his horse, and the horse lance in his hand pointed directly at Zhang Xianzhong's banner.

"Cut down and capture the flag, right now!"
