Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 339 Annihilation of Duoduo's Artillery Battalion

Ma Bao and Li Zhushi set off with six thousand Ming troops. They followed Zhu Yousong's order to attack Duoduo's artillery camp.

It turned out that the scouts and Jin Yiwei of the Ming army had already reported to Zhu Yousong about the Duoduo artillery camp.During Zhu Yousong's ingenious plan to slow down the troops and secretly implement the three major projects inside the Ming camp, Duoduo's [-] artillery battalion left the Baishagang barracks and went to a place five or six miles south of the Kaiming camp to build a fort. Bombard Ming camp.

Of course, Zhu Yousong will not let go of this team equipped with refined grains, although his three major projects these days are mainly prepared for this artillery battalion. The perfect target for this battle.

Now the artillery battalion of the Qing army did not disappoint Zhu Yousong, and bombarded the Ming camp with astonishing power. Amidst the rumbling cannons, Zhu Yousong's eighteen-mile-long blockhouse-like city wall, the tunnels in the camp, and the piles of firewood The three major projects, such as fire and combustibles, were all wiped out and turned into ruins. Zhu Yousong, who had been through battles for a long time, didn’t need to visit the scene in person, just listening to the sound of the guns a few miles away, he knew that the artillery battalion of Duoduo was powerful. How huge, now that the [-] Qing army has jumped into the trap set by Zhu Yousong, of course Zhu Yousong just let the [-] artillery battalion go.

Exterminating these three thousand Tartars is one goal, and more importantly, these twenty red barbarian cannons are really tempting. Zhu Yousong has already learned about these important military situations from Ma Bao's mouth. You know, Although Zhu Yousong's heavy artillery battalion in Zhu Yousong's imperial camp had nearly a hundred artillery pieces of various types, there were only more than twenty Hongyi cannons. How could Zhu Yousong miss such a cutting-edge trophy?

After the second general led the decree, he set off from the dense forest of Xishan with 6000 troops, detoured to the artillery camp of Duoduo and marched in a hurry.

The dense forest of Xishan is not far from Duoduo's artillery camp, and the detour is only more than forty miles. Ma Bao and Li Zhushi are more eager to make contributions than the other.

Li Zhushi, commander of the artillery battalion, is a fan of weapons. When Zhu Yousong established the comprehensive arms of the Imperial Battalion, he was transferred from the artillery battalion of the Jingying soldiers. He was trained by Liu Zhaoji and Zhu Yousong watched him grow up. When he got up, he went from a recruit in the imperial camp to a ten-man leader, to a small banner to a general banner, and then to the commander of the artillery battalion. It took less than a year before and after, which can be described as lightning speed. Now it is said that he is going to attack the Qing The artillery battalion, needless to say, all the cannons captured by the Qing army after the successful attack belonged to them, especially Li Zhushi's eyes flashed blue when he heard that there were twenty all red cannons.

Besides, this Ma Bao was originally one of Wu Sangui's confidantes and beloved generals. At the age of 20, he became a veritable enemy of thousands of people. After a series of estrangements, Ma Bao was forced to rebel by the Tartars. Unwilling to sit idly by and submit to it, he recognized the true colors of the Tartars, charged the account alone, rode into the city alone, and single-handedly killed a bloody path among the thousands of horses and Qing troops in Luoyang City. , was finally forced to fall into the city on a flying horse.

If it weren't for his great fortune, the key is that he has amazing martial arts, and he would have been smashed to pieces long ago. He took a life but was seriously injured. The Tartars insisted on taking his life and chasing him out of the city. Song's troops arrived to rescue him, and since then, he and the Tatars, who knew how to repay their kindness, had forged a death feud. While he was recovering from his wounds, a heart that wanted to kill the Tartars was beating violently. Today, His Majesty gave It gave him a chance, so his current mood can be said to be impatient.

With such two chief generals and such two moods, the marching speed will naturally not be slow.

It was only a cup of tea before they left Zhu Yousong. They also heard the sound of the ground breaking that day. While the ground under their feet was trembling, the two generals stepped up to a high slope, looked in the direction of Mingying, and then Seeing the thick smoke billowing in the sky and the raging flames rising, the two generals excitedly raised their thumbs up, "Your Majesty is truly a god, the Tartars who rushed into our camp will feel better this time!"

The second general urged the troops to continue marching quickly, and the sound of the explosion also added momentum to the [-] Ming army, so in just half an hour, the Ming army appeared behind the Duoduo artillery battalion.

At this time, the roar of the twenty red barbarians had come to an end. They received the order from Prince Yu Duoduo to stop the shelling, because they knew that the main force of the four kings had already begun to charge. , Seeing that the Ming camp was blown to pieces, Zhu Yousong's newly built city walls collapsed in many places, and the entire Ming camp was full of flames.

The victory of this battle is assured, and the artillery camp opened the way. Of course, the contribution is indispensable. If they really capture or kill the false emperor Zhu Yousong, their credit for the artillery camp is naturally not small, and the credit for the artillery camp is of course him. The merits of a artillery battalion commander, promotion and fortune are naturally indispensable.

Just when he was proud, there was an earth-shattering loud bang in the Ming camp, because the distance between them was only five or six miles, this big bang was comparable to a small earthquake, of course he heard it too, his heart was shocked, we all stopped Shelling, how could there be such a big explosion in Mingying?Could it be that Prince Ying of Luoyang and the others are still firing cannons at the Ming camp?

Through the binoculars, the commander of the Tartar artillery battalion saw that the Ming camp had turned into a sea of ​​meltdown, and the small-scale explosions continued. Being smart, he quickly thought of the answer, that is, their artillery bombardment It is also reasonable to be hit by the ammunition depot in Mingying, causing a large fire and continuous explosions.

Putting down the binoculars, the Tartar commander-in-chief excitedly told the deployment that the situation in the Ming camp seemed to be more ominous, and if the [-] Banner elites rushed in again, it is estimated that none of the Ming army could escape, and the false emperor Zhu You Song is completely over this time!

After hearing the officer's criticism, the tartars in the artillery battalion burst into cheers with joy.

But at this moment, there was a tidal shout of killing from behind, "Brothers, kill all the Tartars and kill them!"

"Come on, kill, don't let the Tartars escape..."

The Tartars looked back, and saw a Ming army descending from the sky, covering the sky and covering the earth. The cavalry in front and the infantry in the back came all over the ground.

The Tartars were all terrified. In their image, the Ming army should be wiped out. Why did they run behind them? Could it be that the Ming army came to reinforce them?No, they have already found out that there is no Ming army's King Qin division within a hundred miles, but in front of them...

In astonishment, the Tartars were beheaded or disemboweled to death.The commander-in-chief of the Qing army was worthy of being the commander of the first battalion. He reacted quickly and remained calm in the face of danger.

However, this is destined to be in vain, firstly because they were caught off guard, and secondly because they had only 3000 troops, while the Ming army had twice the number of them. Flying up and down, no one can beat him, Li Zhushi, even though he is the commander of the artillery battalion, his fighting skills are not bad, the sword light flashed, and the tartars fell down in a pool of blood one after another.

This fierce battle ended in only half an hour. Three thousand Tartars were all beheaded in their artillery positions. No one slipped through the net. Blood was splashed on the fortress. Ma Bao was picked up with a halberd.

Li Zhushi looked at the twenty intact red-clothed shattered doors, like a treasure, and shouted excitedly to the soldiers of the artillery battalion under his opponent: "Brothers, be careful, don't break it..."
