The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 118 Killing God Zheng Chenggong
Unexpectedly, before Durde's arrow hit the string, there was a burst of intensive gunshots from the Ming army beside him.He didn't know that the Dragon Guards were equipped with spring wheel guns, which was completely different from the Ming army that used three-eyed guns that he had seen before.

When using the three-eyed blunderbuss, one must hold the blunderbuss in one hand and light the gunpowder with the ignition rod in the other hand, which is difficult to operate accurately while the cavalry is galloping.In addition, the shooting range is less than twenty steps.

But the spring-loaded short gun is wound up in advance, and it can be aimed and fired at any time. The speed is extremely fast, and the range is about forty steps. The performance is not comparable to that of the three-eyed gun.

Immediately, dozens of Jianlu cavalry were shot and fell off their horses.Even those who were not shot were startled by the sudden volley just now, causing their hands to lose shape, and did not release the arrow for a long time.

The hussars of the Dragon Guards threw away the fired blunderbuss, and took out another spring wheel blunderbuss from their waists—the hussars now have exactly the same equipment as the European light cavalry in the eighteenth century. It was two pistols.In order to manufacture hundreds of such expensive weapons, Zhu Linmi invested tens of thousands of taels.

Immediately there was another round of fierce gunfire.

At this point, Durd's talents released a few arrows.The spring wheel gun is not only convenient and fast to use, but the lethality of lead bullets is much stronger than that of arrows. Whether it is a man or a horse, as long as they are shot, they will all die immediately.

On the other hand, although the Dragon Guards were light cavalry without armor, steel helmets were standard equipment for the entire army. During the shooting process, the big furniture bowed and lowered their heads, and a large number of arrows were bounced off by the helmets.After a shower of arrows, only a dozen people were hit by the arrows, and many of them were not hit critically.

After the two armies passed by each other, both sides turned their horses' heads at the same time, and began to order to gather and organize their formation, preparing for the next attack.

At this moment, dozens of cavalry came suddenly from the Qing army obliquely behind, all pointing their sabers forward, without shouting, they just silently kicked their horses and charged forward.

Some of Dould's men had just turned their heads, and some were still reining in their horses. The officers of each team restrained their own troops loudly. It was the most chaotic time, coupled with the noisy sounds on the battlefield, no one noticed for a while. To the sound of hooves getting closer.

All of a sudden, a group of cavalrymen killed them three or four hundred paces. Durd turned his head and was shocked. Where did this person come from? !
Zheng Chenggong was not polite to Durd at all, he rushed into the chaotic Jianlu like a bison, the saber in his hand flashed coldly, with the momentum of the horse, every time he swung it, it would accurately bring out a piece of blood, The captive soldiers were sent to the underworld.

He came here with the desire to die, so he didn't dodge the sharp knives coming from all over the place at all, he just blindly fought for his life, as long as he could kill one more, he would swing away without hesitation.

Fortunately, he is superb in martial arts, coupled with his highly excited spirit at this time, under the conditioned reflex of his body, he can always avoid the vital points just right. Although there are more than ten wounds on his body, he still rushes forward with his sword.

Under his encouragement, the thirty or so riders under him were also bloodthirsty. They were like bloodthirsty beasts, cutting out a path paved with corpses among Durd's men and horses.The Qing army's already scattered formation instantly became more chaotic, and even showed signs of collapse.

Not to mention Durd, even Zhu Linming in the distance is also confused.Although he didn't know where this god-like cavalry came from, it was definitely the best opportunity right now!

After Zheng Chenggong killed Du De's team, the Dragon Guards had also completed their formation, and hundreds of horses rushed towards the enemy in an instant.

With a distance of 130 steps, Zhao Shichao called out the command calmly.

"Sword unsheathed!"

One hundred steps.

"Small steps forward!"

Seventy steps.

"Fast forward!"

Forty steps.

"charge!"

Immediately, the charge team of the Dragon Guards whizzed past the crowd of Jianlu, like a combine harvester driven into a wheat field at full power, and the cavalry of the Qing army were chopped down like ripe wheat.

Before the Dragon Guards turned around for the second round of charge, Durd's men had completely collapsed, and along with Zeng Li and Mu Teng'er's men who had already collapsed on the other side, they ran around screaming and screaming.

Zhu Linmi wiped off the sweat mixed with gunpowder slag on her face, put away the wheel pistol, and ordered Zhao Shichao to lead the team to hunt down the fleeing enemies.

After Zhao Shichao took the order to leave, Zhu Linming's eyes fell on the cavalry who suddenly appeared and their fighting power exploded.At this moment, they were still silent but resolutely chasing and killing a group of rout Qing soldiers without mercy.

It was not until half an hour later that Zhao Shichao, Shi Lin and others had captured and killed most of the Qing army and returned to report to Zhu Linmi, the team finally stopped.

Zheng Chenggong's saber had already rolled into his mouth, his right arm was completely out of strength, and there were no Jianlu around who could kill him.

He didn't know how many Jianlu had died by his sword just now, he only knew that he was still alive.

Why is it so difficult to ask for death?God, why don't you let me die?He looked up at the sky, but saw a man and a woman coming on horseback surrounded by several guards.

Zhu Linmei saw that the person in front of her had a half-knot in a bun, was covered in blood, and had wounds all over her body. The saber dyed black and red in her right hand was hanging powerlessly by her side.

He cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for the general's help, may I ask the general's name?"

Zheng Chenggong replied dejectedly: "I am Zheng Sen, who are you?"

Zheng Sen?Zhu Linmi was taken aback when she heard the words, but Zhen Zhen pointed at Zheng Sen with displeasure and said, "Why are you so rude? This is His Royal Highness Chen Wang!"

"You are Zheng Chenggong?!"

"You are His Royal Highness Chen Wang?!"

The two raised their heads almost at the same time, their eyes flashing with excitement, and they nodded at the same time.

"You are the King Chen who swept away the thieves in Jiangxi?" Zheng Chenggong wanted to salute, but his arm was too weak to lift it up, so he said eagerly, "I'm looking forward to seeing you!"

Zhu Linmi saw this famous anti-Qing hero who went down in history, but she didn't have time to chat with him for the time being.He remembered that Zheng Chenggong should be the governor of the Imperial Army at this time. If so, then Longwu should be nearby!
He hurriedly asked: "I have been ordered to pick you up, where is Your Majesty now?"

"A few days ago, I heard Uncle Fuqing and others discuss that the holy driver should have gone to Changting." Zheng Chenggong said anxiously, "It is recommended that the captives send troops to the south, and His Highness should go to escort the driver immediately, in case of accidents!"

"Chang Ting?" Zhu Lin was taken aback again, and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you with the Holy Majesty?"

"I..." Zheng Chenggong was full of grievances when he mentioned this matter, but he thought that even the emperor didn't trust him, let alone King Chen.So he just said: "The sage sent me to gather troops everywhere and go north to capture the captives."

"Commander," Zhao Shichao approached and said in a low voice, "Zheng Zhilong has already surrendered and treasoned the country, this Zheng Sen is his son, he should not be kept!"
