I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 334 One-sided slaughter
"The Ming army on the opposite side has moved."

On the north gate wall, Xu Hongru, Xu Zhi and others stood uneasy on the wall, staring at the movements of Ming Ting's army opposite.

Originally, other people in the church suggested breaking out from the south gate, but Xu Zhi felt that the other two groups of the Ming army, one in the southwest of Xujiazhuang and the other in the southeast of Xujiazhuang, would be easy if they took the east gate, although there seemed to be no resistance. Caught between two armies.

Even after escaping, they will be chased by these two men.

Instead of doing this, it is better to go in the opposite direction and attack the north road. The support of the other two groups will not be able to arrive for a while, which can give them enough time to evacuate.Therefore, Xu Hongru asked Hou Wu to lead his men to assemble at the north gate, preparing to open the door unexpectedly and fight.

"It seems that the Ming army on the opposite side is aware of it."

Seeing this, Xu Zhi immediately understood the intention of the other party, and then turned back to look into the city. He saw that Hou Wu was already wearing armor, and behind him were 1000 elite soldiers led by him. Everyone was wearing cloth armor and holding wild goose feathers. knife.

The people at the back were holding spears and were forming a team under the scolding of the captains, preparing to send out troops together.

"The leader can't wait any longer. He must ask Hou Wu to send troops immediately."

Xu Zhi originally had no hope for the combat capabilities of the miscellaneous soldiers behind him, but when he saw them holding spears, he suddenly felt like they could fight.

Xu Hongru also nodded when he heard this. He still understood the principle behind Chi Zesheng's change. After saying this, he waved his hand immediately, and the soldiers behind him immediately went down to deliver the order.

After a while, I heard Hou Wu's shout, and then I heard the sound of money pouring down.

"The officers and soldiers want our lives, as well as Maitreya's. They have already said that as long as they enter the city and behead everyone, it is better to fight. If you win, all the money will be yours.

Even if you die, Maitreya will save you for you, and then you can be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss and no longer have to suffer in this world. "

The elites at the front are all diehard followers of the Eastern Mahayana Sect.As soon as they heard that there was still a chance to be reborn in the paradise world, their confidence immediately increased and they all started singing.

"Pain in this world, bliss in the afterlife!"

"Pain in this world, bliss in the afterlife!"

When Hou Wu on horseback and Xu Hongru on the city wall saw this scene, they nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that their military morale was ready.

When the people who were coerced at the end saw the temptation of money and the afterlife, they also started singing along with the elite soldiers in front.

"The military spirit is available, open the door!"

The city gate slowly opened with a creaking sound, and Hou Wu led everyone behind him and filed out like lightning.He knew very well that the time left for him was very short, and he had to defeat the Ming army on the opposite side as quickly as possible. If he waited for the Ming army on both sides to come for reinforcements, he would not be able to leave if he wanted to.

"The enemy army is out of the city!"

Zhu Daoxin, who was still gathering his troops, suddenly heard a shout from the city gate opposite. Then the city gate opened wide, and the enemy troops filed out of the city and immediately shouted:
"Quickly form a formation, shoot in four sections, and have spearmen guard both sides."

When the officers and soldiers of the sentries who had been urged by Zhu Daoxin to form a formation saw the scene on the opposite side, the resentment in their hearts immediately disappeared without a trace.I was still secretly sighing in my heart that Mr. Qian was really clever, and the movements in his hands were a bit more agile.

"Hurry up and take action, who dares to delay the military law enforcement of the fighter plane!"

Under Zhu Daoxin's repeated urging, 500 people from the three sentries of the first division under his command quickly lined up in order.Only then did he have time to look at the other side, only to find that the other side had just finished leaving the city and were lining up, and it seemed that they were about to rush over.

"Checking powder, lead bullets, first loading."

Under the new system of the Beijing camp, there are five people in a team, 50 people in a team, ten teams of 500 people in one sentry, and three sentry posts in one division.

A team of five serves as the basic unit.Zhu Daoxin adopted a four-stage shooting method. There was one more person than the original three-stage shooting. The operation was more difficult, but the firepower and frequency were greatly improved. The remaining one person as a team member could command from the side, or fill in the vacancy at any time.

Among the three sentry teams in a division, two are the cannon team as the main force, and one is the spear team as the cover.

Under Zhu Daoxin's repeated command, his division of 500 people quickly formed a dense front of more than 300 meters, with the gunmen in the center and the spearmen on the left and right.

Seeing Zhu Daoxin's words, all the sentry officers, team leaders, and corps commanders spontaneously urged and inspected the soldiers below to load the muskets to prevent accidents.

Fortunately, Zhu Daoxin was strict in running the army. He personally supervised and trained them in this way during the previous training in the Beijing camp.

Therefore, these basic skills are naturally no problem for the officers and soldiers below it. It is just the first battle, and these soldiers and even Zhu Daoxin are a little nervous.

"You must advance and retreat in an orderly manner later, don't panic."

"Remember the steps of loading gunpowder, filling projectiles, adding match rope, lighting fuse and other steps. These are all trained daily. Just follow the daily training. Now is the time to test the effect."

"Don't be afraid. The enemy can't resist three rounds, so there's nothing to be afraid of!"

But soon, with the repeated encouragement from officers at all levels, everyone quickly regained the feeling they had during daily training, and the tension was reduced a lot.

"kill!"

While the officers and soldiers were shouting instructions and orders, Hou Wu on the opposite side could not wait any longer.He knew that his biggest advantage was the large number of people, so after leaving the city, he simply lined up and took the lead. He raised his sword and killed the Ming army who was still "hurriedly forming" on the opposite side.Seeing how brave the generals were, the people behind him no longer flinched. They silently chanted the slogan of reincarnation and followed Hou Wu in the charge.

In the dim night, repeated killing cries and firelight filled the north gate of Xujiazhuang. The army leaving the city was like a sea wave, rushing towards Zhu Daoxin's "rock".

This "wave" is so powerful, accompanied by the slogans in its mouth, that its momentum is like a rainbow, and it is bound to destroy everything in its way.But now the officers and soldiers under the huge waves feel extremely small and may be washed away at any time.

"Stay steady, don't panic, don't light the match without permission."

Looking at the rebels rushing over from the opposite side, some of the gunmen in the first row were in panic, some could not even hold the guns steady, and some wanted to light the match rope in advance, but they were all scolded by the team leader.

"Two hundred feet!"

"One hundred and fifty feet!"

Seeing the distance getting closer and closer, the soldiers in the front row became more and more nervous. Hou Wu, who was rushing at the front, saw that the officers and soldiers in front were motionless and no bows and arrows were shooting at them. He was overjoyed. It seemed that this time it was really a challenge. I got a soft persimmon, and the momentum in my heart became stronger and stronger.

"One hundred feet!"

This sentence was like a signal, causing the soldiers at the front to breathe a sigh of relief.

They immediately took out the fire sticks they had prepared, blew them a little, and sparks suddenly appeared. They put them on the match rope of the musket and let it burn immediately.

"Fifty feet!"

"Forty feet!"

Hou Wu, who was charging at the front, originally thought that something big had happened, but he suddenly saw a row of popping sparks in front of him. He understood something in an instant, and immediately stopped and wanted to retreat. But he understood, but it did not mean that others understood.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"...

The first row of gunfire crackled loudly, and the rebel soldiers at the front were unable to dodge. They were hit by the flying projectiles and fell to the ground in pain.

Before they could even cry out, they were trampled under their feet by the unknown soldiers behind them, becoming their stepping stones.

"Hurry up! The army's muskets only have one round, and they can't stop us at all. If we rush over, we will win a big victory. If we fail, we will be reborn in bliss. Don't suffer in this world."

Hou Wu, who had just escaped from one round by chance, saw that the officers and soldiers had all fired their muskets. He was determined that as long as he engaged the enemy, he would win, so he continued to encourage everyone to rush forward. When everyone saw that the officers and soldiers were right in front of them, they heard Hou Wu's words greatly boosted his morale, and he sprinted forward even harder.

"Bang" "Bang"...

But the wish was good. Just after the first wave of shooting, the officers and soldiers skillfully switched formations. The soldiers in the second row who lit the match ropes had already stepped forward to take aim. As the projectiles flew out, the rebels at the front shouted loudly about the bliss of death. The sergeants were cut down like grass.

"When did the blunderbuss fly so fast?"

Hou Wu was horrified when he saw this, but the officers and soldiers were right in front of him. If he didn't rush forward, it would be too late. He immediately shouted to boost morale and rushed forward with his sword in hand.

But before he had taken a few steps, the third wave of gunfire sounded again. The soldiers who had just survived the second wave of gunfire were knocked down again by the soldiers who followed behind before they could dodge. Four waves of gunfire sounded again.

"Ah, my legs!"

"Help, help."

There were only a few rebels who could stand in front of the gunners' line. Four waves of gunfire were fired, and thousands of projectiles were released into the open space 50 meters in front of them.

Now the ground is full of wailing rebels. All the promises mentioned above have been shattered. In the mouths of the wailing soldiers who fell on the ground, happiness in the afterlife has become a luxury. They only hope to save their own lives.

Hou Wu was also hit repeatedly by the projectiles fired by the fourth wave of cannons. He fell to the ground and screamed desperately for help, but no one could save him now.

The soldiers who fell on the ground were all the most elite soldiers in Xujiazhuang. Although the protection itself was simple and crude, nearly [-] people were killed or injured in a confrontation with the army. Even the elite officers and soldiers could not bear it. Not to mention these miscellaneous rebels.

Seeing the elites at the front falling like wheat, the soldiers behind who were still holding spears and wanted to charge collapsed immediately.He didn't think about the bliss of the afterlife or wealth and money, so he immediately ran towards the city.

When Xu Hongru, Xu Zhi and others who were watching the battle on the city wall saw this scene, their mood instantly fell to the bottom, and they had only one thought in their hearts: It's over!

"Leader, please return home quickly! Master Xia Xiang, guard the city gate and don't let the officers and soldiers come in!"

Seeing this, Xu Zhi looked around and immediately advised Xu Hongru to return home.He never expected that Hou Wu would be defeated so quickly, leaving him no time to react.

The only solution now is to run, and we must run faster.

Because with the defeat of Hou Wu, it was not just the officers and soldiers who wanted to arrest them.
