The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 67 Influence
On the outskirts of Chunhua, the crowds are like the sea, and the mountains and plains are full of moving heads.

Countless messy banners are scattered in all directions, and the banners are fluttering, hunting and moving under the strong wind.

The spears are like forests, the sea of ​​people is turbulent, and the vastness is like the water of eight corners and nine fields!
The first big black banner is particularly eye-catching.

The flag is one foot and eight feet high, and the pole has a tasseled head and a pheasant tail, and is tied with a bright yellow horn belt that is eight feet and five inches long.

The flag is square, with a black background and a bright yellow border, and a large white character "Chuang" is embroidered in the middle of the flag.

Under the big black banner, Li Zicheng was wearing an embroidered robe with narrow sleeves, cloud shoulders, and a bright silver double-breasted long body armor, with a belt around his waist, a knife and a bow, and sat on the watchtower.

The observation tower was surrounded by warriors in red frontier armor, and a group of military schools in fish scale armor stood around Li Zicheng.

In the Battle of Sanshui City, Zhang Waijia died, most of the Liao soldiers were defeated, and almost all the armored battles were captured by Li Zicheng.

Li Guo, Gao Jie, Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong and others arranged the school on both sides.

Under the city of Chunhua, the sound of horns continued to rise and fall, and lasted for a long time.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

In the next instant, the crowd outside Chunhua City also moved.

Simple ladders undulated among the crowd, and a large number of hungry soldiers in ragged clothes and armed with various weapons rushed towards Chunhua City under the leadership and urging of the old soldiers.

"Break the city, open the official warehouse!!"

"Kill the officers and soldiers!!"

Countless hungry soldiers gathered together, forming an endless crowd.

The tide was raging, making a roar like thunder, setting off huge waves, and slamming towards Chunhua City fiercely!

Standing behind the crenel of the tower, Chen Wang calmly looked at the surging army of hungry soldiers.

Chen Wang's heartbeat speeded up a little bit, but his mind was still extremely clear, and he was not greatly affected by it.

He has seen such a scene countless times. The rapid heartbeat and trembling of the body are not all caused by fear, but more of the instinctive reaction of the body before the battle.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

The special sound that belonged exclusively to Fran's machine gun resounded loudly on the walls of Chunhua City.

A large amount of gunpowder smoke slowly rose from the city wall, and the guns fired by the gunpowder shot fiercely into the hungry soldiers with a sharp whistling sound.

After all, the Fran cannon is not a Hongyi cannon. It is relatively less powerful and has a much shorter range, but once it hits it, it is enough to destroy both men and horses.

Although most of the Ming soldiers who operated the cannons were half-baked, the hungry soldiers outside the city came in black and white. There was no need to calculate the distance, and there was no need to calibrate any artillery.

Clouds of blood mist exploded from the formation of the hungry soldiers, but soon dissipated, and were submerged by the follow-up hungry soldiers.

But compared to the hungry army with nearly [-] troops, everything didn't have much impact.

The bombardment of more than 20 Franc cannons on the Chunhua City Wall did not even cause much spray, and it was back to normal.

Soon the hungry soldiers who broke into the army had swarmed under the city wall of Chunhua, and countless ladders were erected.

One after another, hungry soldiers climbed upwards with tattered round shields or short knives in their teeth.

The shouts of killing from below the city were deafening, resounding through the sky, but the only response from the city was the continuous smoke of gunpowder, the dull sound of guns and the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air.

The Rolling Stones were thrown from the city wall one by one.

Slanderous wailing, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and angry shouts echoed in everyone's ears.

Looking down from the clouds in the sky, it seems that there are countless dense ants attached to the west wall of Chunhua City.

Chen Wang didn't do anything, he had already delegated the command to Tang Shiping, Hu Zhili, and Luo Guizhong.

This wave of attacks by the rogues was just a test, and most of them were hungry soldiers.

Although their routines have changed, they are generally the same as before. The two wings are dominated by horse troops, and the old bandits are mixed in the middle to supervise the battle.

It's just that it's no longer the ordinary troops and fine cavalry that hold the battle at the end.

On the tower, Chen Wang could see clearly that most of those troops were holding three-eyed guns, and there were quite a few Franc cannons behind them.

There are also tiger squatting guns placed in front of the formation, obviously to guard against the impact. Except for the lack of rockets, all other arrangements are the same as he used to be in the back battle of Shandao Temple.

Chen Wang's eyes narrowed slightly. He heard the news that Zhang Waijia was frustrated when he left the city to fight, and then he returned to the city.

Zhao Huailiang stood aside and said in a low voice.

"Zhang Shuai led us to attack the Chuangjun formation outside Sanshui City. This is how the Chuangjun is arranged."

"At the beginning, when we attacked the city, we stepped out of the city and killed their hungry troops."

Zhao Huailiang pointed to the hungry soldiers swarming from the city, and continued to speak.

"We drove the broken soldiers to attack the army formation, but suddenly heard a few explosions, and then many of those broken soldiers fell to the ground, and the rest dared not move forward, either retreated or fled to both sides .”

"Although there were no routs, Zhang Shuai saw that the enemy's firearms team was not protected by gun arrays, so he led us straight away."

"result……"

Zhao Huailiang's voice lowered a little.

"The sound of gunshots in front of the army formation was like popping beans, and they were not heard. None of the sentry cavalry sent by Zhang Shuai rushed over..."

Zhao Huailiang's eyes were slightly red, and his hands trembled slightly.

Chen Wang's expression was gloomy, and he couldn't see the weapons in the hands of those troops clearly from a long distance away.

"You were behind, did you see what firearms they were holding, and how did they fight?"

Zhao Huailiang pondered for a while, then replied.

"Three-eyed blunderbuss...they seem to be holding three-eyed blunderbuss, no bird blunderbuss or other firearms."

"I didn't see how they fought, but their formation was very strange, and they basically didn't move around. The people in the front kept squatting on the ground, and there was something behind them."

Chen Wang lowered his head while pressing the Yanling Saber on his waist.

Zhao Huailiang's words gave him several key pieces of information.

Chuangjun did not use bird guns, but basically used three-eyed guns.

The three-eyed gun has a short range, but it can fire three shots in a row in an instant, and the instantaneous firepower coverage is indeed stronger.

And it seems that he didn't learn the method of shooting and retreating that he used before, but made some improvements according to the situation.

The firearm tactics used by the troops invading the army should be that the soldiers in the first row are responsible for firing the three-eyed blunderbuss, and then pass them to the people behind after firing.

Then the people in the back row handed over another three-eyed gun to him for firing.

All firings are fired by the gunners in the first row, and the follow-up people only need to charge the guns.

"After killing and wounding a sentry of soldiers and horses, we withdrew our troops and returned to the city."

"Afterwards, I have been assisting in defending the city, until the city was finally broken by the internal response."

There is nothing wrong with Zhang Waijia's decisions to guard Sanshui.

If you can't take advantage of the situation to disrupt the enemy's troops, it is indeed the best way to stick to the city.

Moreover, Zhang Waijia's task at that time was only to defend Sanshui City. The enemy was a hard bone, so there was no need to gnaw at it.

Chen Wang's expression was deep, and he examined the formation of the Chuangjun outside the city.

Among the old soldiers who broke into the army, the number of firearms has increased significantly.

Chen Wang thought that he saved Cao Wenzhao, but it only affected the direction of the subsequent battle.

But unexpectedly, the biggest impact was that Li Zicheng began to pay attention to firearms.

　It's much better already, it can be updated normally tomorrow
