I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 271 A Volcano That Erupts Anytime
Chapter 270

Zhang Xianzhong's way of using troops is very cruel.Most of the troops under his command were cannon fodder, except for the elite of the old battalion in Shaanxi. Zhang Xianzhong divided these cannon fodder troops into different ranks, and arranged different supplies for them.

Under Zhang Xianzhong's order, these cannon fodder troops began to flock to the direction of Ning Haijun's formation. During the charge of these cannon fodder troops, there were also rogues with a Shaanxi accent constantly bewitching the rogue cannon fodder.

"We haven't opened Macheng yet, and we've eaten all the food around. The only way for Jizai is to defeat the official army. The official army has food!"

"The army has tens of thousands of horses. If we defeat the army, the horse meat will be delicious!"

"If we don't defeat the officers and soldiers, we will starve to death!"

"If there is no food, and we don't need to be attacked by the officers and soldiers, we will die in sevens and eighties!"

"Rush up and eat the officers and soldiers!"

"dash forward!"

As more and more rogues unified their slogans, the faces of these rogue cannon fodder troops showed a look of madness. They were like floods that burst their banks, flooding in large numbers, seemingly endless.Their expressions became more and more crazy, and they used practical actions to tell Cheng Shijie that rogues are not afraid of death.

The relaxed look on Zhao Wencai's face was wiped away, replaced by seriousness: "Marshal, there are too many of them, this battle is not easy to fight!"

"A mob is always a mob, no matter how many troops there are, they are still a mob."

Cheng Shijie said with a disapproving smile: "No matter how many mobs there are, how long can we last in front of our Ning Navy cavalry? A quick charge will solve the battle!"

"No, Marshal, what the last general means is that if we are facing Jiannu, let alone their number, even if there are ten times more people, the last general will not blink!"

Zhao Wencai smiled wryly: "After all, they are people who have been bewitched, so should we persuade them to surrender?"

"According to their momentum, whoever persuades them to surrender will die. It's not too late to persuade them after the fight is over."

After Cheng Shijie finished speaking, he slowly raised his right hand: "Let them see the true strength of our Ning Haijun!"

The cavalry commander of the Ning Navy is just a troop number, not just cavalry. Although cavalry is important on the battlefield today, the problem is that cannons are not new. One cannon or dozens of cannons is not a big problem.

In the era of hot weapons, Cheng Shijie's biggest characteristic is that he suffers from the phobia of insufficient firepower, and it is still in the late stage. As early as the beginning of the establishment of the Ning Navy Cavalry, the cavalry could have infantry fire support posts in the cavalry, that is, the cavalry was equipped with thunder. The gun running is different from the infantry version of the Thunderbolt. The cavalry version is disassembled into three parts, [-] barrels, the base, and the magazine.

After being disassembled into three parts, the Thunderbolt has become the long-range support firepower of the Ning Navy cavalry, especially in the research and development of guns and artillery. The fire dragon has been improved. This thing is a second-level rocket launcher, which is very light. Naturally, it is also equipped with the cavalry. Of course, the infantry Troops do too.

With the establishment of the Ning Navy Cavalry for more than four years, the Ning Navy Cavalry has discovered that no matter how they train, they are always inferior to the Jianslave Cavalry in terms of riding skills.

In fact, if the Ning Navy cavalry were to chase the Jiannu cavalry on the prairie, they really couldn't do it, because they carried too much weight. This was the real reason why Cheng Shijie was eager to improve the horse breed.

At this time, the originally well-organized Ning Navy cavalry suddenly dispersed left and right, revealing the support firepower of the Ning Navy's capital. The 36 Thunderbolts without wheels had already been loaded and were just waiting to be fired.

In addition, there are more than 60 quadruple-mounted fire dragons out of the water. The non-cavalry version is called the fire dragon type 2000. This is a self-use type. Compared with the fire dragon type [-] sold to Catherine, the range is nearly doubled, reaching [-] to [-] meters. Well, the power is more than doubled.

The charge of the explosive part of the Huolong 680 is 120 grams, but the charge of the Huoli [-] is [-] kilograms. This power is almost equivalent to the charge of the [-]mm mortar of later generations. Of course, the power is slightly less.

Even so, this Fire Dragon II already possesses considerable power.However, the biggest problem is that the shape of the Huolong-1.5 rocket launcher is very simple. This thing is [-] meters long and has a warhead similar to a mortar shell. It is filled with two kilograms of collodion and a certain amount of collodion. The propellant, and then a long iron pipe acts as a balance bar, and there are four flying wings behind the iron pipe for balance.

When launching, use a torch to burn, and you will see all four rockets being shot out in one go.Of course, this is only the cavalry version. The infantry version of the rocket launcher is quite crazy, with as many as 24 units. That is to say, a Fire Dragon rocket launcher can have the striking firepower of an artillery battalion, but the range is a little shorter.

Seeing that the rogue army was getting closer and closer to Ning Haijun, and had already entered the effective range, Zhao Wencai's hand fell heavily: "Fire!"

As the artillerymen of the Ning Navy Cavalry brought their torches closer, the fuze on the tail of the rocket launcher began to hiss and smoke.

After a moment.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The screeching sound that made one's scalp explode, the dazzling flames like shooting stars chasing the moon, let alone the killing effect, the sound and light effect alone made the rogue army mess up.

After the 64 rocket launchers were fired, as 250 six rocket shells flew towards the rogue formation, these rocket shells did not fail. After all, there were too many rogues, even if you shoot with your eyes closed, you still cannot hit the rogues.

As the rocket shells landed, orange-red fireballs exploded in the rogue formation. The shrapnel from the exploding rocket shells and the blast wave began to cut the rogue's body. Many rogues who were far away from the explosion point were lifted into the air and turned into human bodies. Splinters or flesh rained down.

One-third of Rao Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses are veterans who have survived many battles, and they can't help but change their colors in horror when they see the purgatory sea of ​​flames!
In fact, let alone the rogues who were frightened, even the soldiers of Ning Haijun who used this thing in actual combat for the first time could not help but turn pale, suspected to be the wrath of ghosts and gods.

Sun Kewang, a general under Zhang Xianzhong's command, is still called Zhang Kewang now, his face was pale, and he muttered to himself: "Sorcery, sorcerer, sorcerer!"

In just half a stick of incense, 250 six rockets fell in the bandit formation, and then, the Ning Navy soldiers who had finished firing quickly loaded the rockets and prepared for the second round of launch.

With the 250 six rocket shells, at least thousands of casualties were caused by the rogues. However, compared with the rogues with 10,000+ troops, the casualties were still within the acceptable range.

Zhang Xianzhong was not intimidated by Ning Haijun's artillery, but he was very excited, with greedy gazes in his eyes. Looking at the bloody scene and listening to the extremely stern screams, Zhang Xianzhong thought of He can seize these cannons. With these cannons, wouldn't the world let him go?

Zhang Xianzhong said with a sneer: "Kaiwang, Dingguo, you go up to me and take down those cannons!"

Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo came out in response, and each led three or four thousand cavalry from the headquarters to rush towards the artillery position of the Ning Navy.

Zhao Wencai said with a sneer on his face: "Commander, Zhang Xianzhong is so arrogant. He thought he could take us down by sending seven or eight thousand cavalry. He is looking for death! The last general calls for a fight!"

"cut!"

Cheng Shijie smiled disapprovingly: "While playing, who will play cavalry and archery for them? The real role of the cavalry is to chase down the defeated enemy. Just wait and see! The rocket adjusts the shooting circle and adjusts the target to the rear of the enemy cavalry. Thunderbolt is ready Fire!"

Playing cavalry battles with Ning Haijun, not to mention Zhang Xianzhong, even if Huang Taiji came, he would have to kneel down, not to mention the cavalry under Zhang Xianzhong's command, not even the Mongolian cavalry.Otherwise, it would be impossible for Guan Ning's army to chase them with more than 2 riders at [-] riders, and fled in embarrassment.

"Kill!"

Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang, one on the left and one on the right, like a pair of huge horns, slammed towards Ning Haijun with a thunderous force. The flying knight on horseback straightened up, raised his sword and gun, or rode a bow.

Only one-third of the cavalry under Zhang Xianzhong were equipped with riding bows. Obviously, only one-third of them could play riding and archery, that is, more than 2000 cavalry. far away.

"Eight hundred steps!"

"Six hundred steps!"

"Five hundred steps!"

"450 steps..."

As the observers reported the distance from time to time, in fact these cavalry had already entered the effective range of the Thunderbolt. Although the Thunderbolt was defined as a gun in Cheng Shijie's eyes, in fact, it was actually a cannon. On the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, even the Douding tanks of the small days can't carry it, let alone the human body?

"Bang bang bang..."

More than 30 thunderbolts fired tongues of fire, and the sound of the guns made people's eardrums hurt like thunder. 350 steps away, hundreds of rogue light cavalrymen or war horses suddenly burst into blood mist, screaming and mourning. With a hiss, he fell down with a crash, and the entire front line was almost wiped out.

Sun Kewang almost fell off his horse: "Damn it, the government army's firecrackers hit so far and so accurately?"

Seeing this scene, Cheng Shijie showed a sinister smile.

Due to technological breakthroughs, each barrel of these thunderbolts has four rifling lines, and the propellant is no longer black powder, but nitrocellulose. The bullets hit farther and are more powerful.

These improved versions of Thunderbolts were actually prepared for Jiannu, but since the Battle of Baliwan, Jiannu has become more honest, this time Zhang Xianzhong's troops will suffer a lot!

As the thunderbolts and rocket launchers fired one after another, the menacing rogue cavalry suffered casualties!
Sun Kewang gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn it, where do these officers and soldiers get so many firecrackers, and their power is unheard of!"

He raised his saber high and roared loudly: "Rush over! Rush over and kill these damned gunners!"

The rogue cavalry was bombarded by a round of rocket launchers, plus 32 Thunderbolt guns and thirty-packed semi-automatic machine guns swept across. They were a little flustered, but seeing Sun Kewang charging ahead, they calmed down and rushed behind.

They all know that retreating now is definitely not a good idea. Retreating will only give the gunners a chance to reload and aim calmly, and blow up their corpses all over the place.

Fortunately, the cannon reloads slowly, and I don’t know how long it will take to fire again after firing a round...

It's just a pity that the loading method of the Fire Dragon II is a bit like the guerrilla warfare artifact of later generations. Seeing that the rogue cavalry is getting more and more crazy, these rocket launchers are not loaded anymore, and they are directly piled on the ground to form a small slope, and the rockets are roughly aligned. Rogue cavalry.

"call out……"

A Huolong II rocket launcher flew towards the bandit cavalry. As for the Thunderbolt, it was more convenient to reload. Simply speaking, the Thunderbolt worked a bit like a revolver, which was actually an enlarged version of the revolver.

The tragedy of Zhang Xianzhong is that although his subordinates claim to have tens of thousands of people, there are only 6 to [-] who can really fight. If it is also counted, the strength of the troops will be doubled.

Now nearly half of Zhang Xianzhong's elite cavalry are basically within the range of Ning Haijun's rocket launchers and thunderbolts. They can't retreat even if they retreat now, and they can't charge up even if they want to fight.

As Cheng Shijie said, a mob is always a mob, no matter how many people there are, it is still a mob.

Zhao Wencai said: "Commander, the last general invites you to fight!"

"Not urgent!"

Cheng Shijie said: "These are Zhang Xianzhong's elite veterans. No matter how good we give them, they can't follow us. These are old thieves who have eaten human flesh. It is too difficult to change them. The best way is to Destroy them physically!"

Following Cheng Shijie's order, the bazooka and Thunderbolt continued to fire, especially the sound of the bazooka shooting from the body, it was too loud, one after another fire dragons flew towards the bandits, the whole battlefield seemed like Shura's purgatory.

Sun Kewang was lying on the ground at this time. He was already scared to pee by the rocket launcher. Li Dingguo was even worse. He was knocked unconscious by something. After he woke up, he realized that it was actually a thigh, and the other was blown away by the rocket launcher. human legs.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

"Bang bang bang..."

There were only these two voices left on the battlefield at this time. The slaughterhouse-like scene created by the rocket launcher and the thunderbolt still made everyone terrified.

Zhang Xianzhong repeatedly yelled at them not to move, but how could he control them?As the rocket shells rained down, his army became more and more chaotic, and it was on the verge of collapse.

No belief, no common pursuit, and a team that relies entirely on looting to maintain itself, no matter how large the number is, will be vulnerable after all.Zhang Xianzhong's side was hit to the brink of collapse by the fierce shelling, while Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang had completely collapsed.

It was crushed by the rocket launcher of the Ning Navy cavalry!
This was a cavalry battle that made them feel extremely aggrieved. Seven or eight thousand rogue cavalry roared in, but they couldn't get within two hundred steps of the Ning navy cavalry at all. Regardless of the saber, it simply cannot reach Ning Haijun.

I tried my best but couldn't hit the opponent, the opponent fired a volley, and my side was killed and wounded, how should I fight this battle?How else can I fight?
Sun Kewang was lucky, his horse died and threw him to the ground, so neither the bazooka nor the Thunderbolt hurt him. His only injury was from his own horse, so it was not a big problem .

But the cavalry under Sun Kewang's command did not have such good luck. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Sun Kewang felt a little desperate.

Zhang Xianzhong watched his [-] elite cavalry charge up, but a large piece fell down, filled with gunpowder smoke, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on on the battlefield.

Zhang Xianzhong said angrily: "What kind of bloody fighting methods are these dog officers and soldiers using! Is there anyone who fights like this!?"

Ai Nengqi took a breath and said: "They have always fought like this... No matter how many people they have, it is useless to face them. They were completely overwhelmed by them a few times."

Zhang Xianzhong said with some frustration: "Since a certain army started, it has been running across the northwest, with swords and guns like a forest, and arrows raining down on it. They couldn't take me away, but in the end they were defeated..."

"Father!"

Ai Nengqi heard Zhang Xianzhong's despair, and hurriedly persuaded: "Father, the number of officers and soldiers is too small, let's withdraw and throw these refugees to them!"

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Why don't you surrender to Cheng Shijie?"

"Surrender is not allowed!"

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Why can't we surrender? Surrender first, if the government can't give us a good resettlement, and then turn against the mother, have we always been like this all these years?"

Ai Nengqi said: "That's because the officers and soldiers don't have enough strength to forcibly disband us and confiscate our weapons. That's why we surrender when we want to, and rebel when we want to! But, this is Cheng Shijie!"

"What about Cheng Shijie?"

Ai Nengqi smiled wryly and said: "But Cheng Shijie is different, adoptive father, look, will he give us such a chance? Once surrendered, we will never have the chance!"

"If we can't surrender, aren't we going to die!"

"We don't surrender, we can retreat!"

"Where else can I retreat?"

"Let's go into the mountains!"

Ai Nengqi was Zhang Xianzhong's adviser before Wang Zhaolin was accepted. Many opinions came from Ai Nengqi's mouth, including the strategy of going south to Fengyang.

Zhang Xianzhong was actually just posturing, how could he want to die?
Besides, it's not that he has never been defeated before. He cooperates with Ainengqi, and as long as Ainengqi speaks, he will reluctantly agree to let Ainengqi take the blame.

If he said retreat, he would retreat. Zhang Xianzhong didn't care about Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, and directly led the troops of the old camp to retreat towards Macheng.

"I can not be reconciled!"

"Father, as long as the green hills remain, why worry about no firewood?"

Ai Nengqi said: "We still have vitality, so we may not have a chance to make a comeback!"

As Zhang Xianzhong retreated, a large number of rogues also retreated.

Cheng Shijie also noticed Zhang Xianzhong's change: "Zhao Wencai!"

"The end is here!"

"Zhang Xianzhong has run away, catch up, don't let him run away!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Wencai didn't dare to take away all the cavalry of the Ning Navy, he needed to leave thousands of people to protect Cheng Shijie, so to speak, Zhao Wencai finally led [-] cavalry to bypass these bandits and pursue Zhang Xianzhong.

These rogue infantry saw that Zhang Xianzhong ran away, and the old battalion also ran away. They knelt on their knees and raised their hands: "Guy, stop fighting, we surrender!"

These rogues watched Zhang Xianzhong run away, they no longer had the will to resist, and surrendered one after another.

This battle is finally over, hundreds of thousands of rogues died, and they were wiped out in a day. This kind of great achievement is like a myth.

But in the eyes of Ning Haijun, this is nothing special, they had expected such a result before the war.For them, defeating the bandits has never been a problem, and how to place them is the biggest headache.

Although Liaodong has enough food reserves, and Luzon also has enough farms and factories to absorb the 10,000+ population, Cheng Shijie certainly has no way to accommodate these people in Macheng. Idiots talk about dreams.

The problem of feeding these hundreds of thousands of people must be resolved immediately, otherwise, there will definitely be troubles, and we must plan in the long run.

"Master, what shall we do now?"

Han Shi looked at the gangster captives in the dark, and was stared at by countless pairs of eyes. She felt a little nervous and very uneasy.

Cheng Shijie said: "Combine them, every ten households are one Jia, ten Jia are one hundred households, and each hundred households are managed separately!"

"What about the food?"

Cheng Shijie pointed at the dead horses on the battlefield and said, "Each hundred households will allocate a few dead horses, and let them find firewood by themselves!"

In fact, Cheng Shijie has no good solution now, and fortunately, the bazooka and Thunderbolt caused too much shock to the rogues. Even though there were only [-] Ning Haijun soldiers in custody, these rogue prisoners did not dare to run away, let alone launch riot.

With the passage of time, one by one, the reorganized hundred-household offices were reorganized, and these reorganized hundred-household offices began to assign tasks.

After all, the space of Heshun Village is too small to accommodate so many people. There are tens of thousands of captives, and the area alone covers more than ten square kilometers.

What Cheng Shijie can provide them is only a small amount of dead horses, and a small amount of fried rice or fried noodles. As for what kind of meals they can make to fill their stomachs, it all depends on their own abilities.

Those reorganized hundreds of households either set up tents, or dug stoves, and began to bury pots and cook food. Fortunately, the rogues did not have nothing, and there was a small amount of food in their troops, especially the belongings left by Zhang Xianzhong in a hurry to escape. Not a few.

The seized silver alone amounted to as much as 350 million taels, 8 taels of gold, and a large number of curios and antiques. As for weapons and armor, they were piled up like a mountain.

Cheng Shijie looked at the list and exclaimed: "There are 350 gold and [-] million silver, it's terrible!"

Han, who was in charge of counting the finances, put the account book in front of Cheng Shijie: "There are also more than 100 carts of copper coins. In fact, we don't pay much attention to silver coins during this time. The most important thing is mules, horses and food!"

Zhang Xianzhong's reputation in the Ming Dynasty was completely rotten. Even if he took silver, he couldn't buy anything, unless he broke it up into parts, pretended to be other people in a scattered way, and bought supplies with silver.

The gentry of Ming Dynasty would rather not do Zhang Xianzhong's business than sell supplies to Zhang Xianzhong. This is the real reason why Zhang Xianzhong does not value treasures.

Cheng Shijie looked at Qiao Siniang beside him and said, "Hurry up Meng En, where did he transport the food!"

If there is no food, these hundreds of thousands of rogues will become a volcano that erupts at any time.

PS: Ask for a monthly ticket with the cheek.
