Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 925 Letting go in a critical situation (one more)
Zhu Yousong stood on a high place in the imperial camp with a telescope. Through the single-tube telescope, Zhu Yousong saw more and more European allied forces rushing towards the hill where he was. Zhu Yousong's resolute face showed With a smile on his face, the more allied troops were attracted, the better he played as a bait.The brave generals of the imperial battalion in front have repulsed the enemy's four attacks several times, and now the fifth attack is about to begin.

Of course Zhu Yousong was happy, but then he saw that the reinforcements from the European Allied Forces learned to be smart and surrounded the hill. They were not in a hurry to attack, but pushed the artillery cart over. Zhu Yousong He suppressed the smile on his face and put down the binoculars.

"Decide my will, gather all the soldiers of the imperial camp, and follow me to kill!"

Zhu Yousong's decision startled the concubine, eunuch Jin Yiwei and others who were escorting them. Just now the Ming army won and they didn't pursue them. Now that the enemy reinforcements are coming up with cannons, wouldn't it be bad luck to rush over at this time? ?
"Your Majesty, the number of allied reinforcements this time is at least tens of thousands."

"Your Majesty, the Musket Battalion has run out of ammunition, and in the previous battle, only half of the 2000 Musket Battalion can fight, and [-] of the [-] Armored Cavalry remain. We have been surrounded."

"Your Majesty, they also brought cannons..."

The situation is so critical that Zhu Yousong is not in favor of rushing into the enemy camp. It is wise to break through the encirclement from the back as the top priority.

However, Zhu Yousong resisted all opinions: "Are you trying to persuade me to break through and escape? Then if this battle is our Ming army's Waterloo, of course you don't understand what Waterloo is, that is to say, if I lead you to break through, We may all save our lives, but in this battle, the European Allied Forces will definitely win a big victory. We don’t know how many tens of thousands of soldiers died under their guns. This is not the most serious consequence, the most serious The consequence is that our Ming Expeditionary Force is likely to be completely wiped out by them in a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, and then all the fruits of our victory in the past year will be wiped out, and then the big nose of Tsarist Russia will show off its power. Return to Siberia for the first time, return to our Greater Khingan Mountains, Heilongjiang River Basin and even further places for the second time, burn, kill, loot, retaliate wildly, and intensify. By then, it will not even be just the big nose of Russia. The coalition forces of the 20 countries such as Britain, France and Russia will probably benefit If we invade our territory evenly, our Ming Dynasty will face a catastrophe.”

"The consequences are unimaginable. Don't think that I'm scaremongering. This hypothesis cannot be proved to you with actual facts. I have seen it for a long time. The situation is critical. Because of this, I have to give it a go and lead you to charge. Do you want to sit here and wait to be bombed? I have already seen that we are only more than 1000 meters away from them, and we killed them before their cannons fired. As for their muskets, they are not a big problem for us. As long as we can break through the firepower defense line, the melee between the two sides, cannons and muskets are difficult to play a role, and the battle of cold weapons happens to be our strength, so we can win this battle, we can no longer delay."

Zhu Yousong's words convinced everyone. They felt that His Majesty was too right. If His Majesty had a foresight, they should give it a go. They must not sit still, even if they died in battle, they could not break out and escape.

Soon Zhu Yousong's imperial battalion was assembled, including the musketeer battalion, armored cavalry battalion, Li Quan's brocade guards, Zhu Yousong's concubines and personal bodyguard Xiao Liu, Xiao Qiao and even the eunuch An Lin, beside Zhu Yousong There are only 3000 people left.

It is still too late to transport cannons, or the guns are out of bullets. Now they can only use cold weapons such as bows and arrows, knives and spears to compete with these European powers.

Zhu Yousong took the lead and rushed down the hillside with them. All the 3000 generals wanted to rush ahead to escort them, but their horses were not as fast as Zhu Yousong's. Riding Juechen.

As soon as Zhu Yousong's men rushed down the hill, the Allied cannons rang.

A round of shells fell on the hillside, that is, behind Zhu Yousong and the others.

It's not because of the poor accuracy of the Allied artillery, but because they never dreamed that Zhu Yousong would personally lead a team to charge towards them. In their opinion, Zhu Yousong should break through and escape, and would never charge towards them, moths Throw on fire.

However, something they thought was impossible happened, which is called surprise.

Dozens of allied cannons rushed ahead to meet the battle. Of course, they were aiming at the Ming army camp on the hillside. In addition, many cannons were still ready to fire.

At this time, Zhu Yousong rushed out of the company battalion with his troops and rushed down the hillside. No wonder the Allied artillery was about to fail.

The thousands of Ming troops in the Imperial Battalion heard the shells exploding behind them, and all of them agreed with their Majesty's ability to predict things like a god.

This is the Allied musket, as long as the cannon is adjusted to the distance, it is a bit cumbersome, but all the [-] to [-] Allied troops are holding muskets, so of course they will not just watch the Ming army rushing over, after Masaline was surprised , quickly ordered to shoot.

The guns of the Allied forces sounded like popping beans, and many soldiers of the Ming army who charged were shot and fell off their horses.

But Zhu Yousong did not slow down the speed of the horse at all. He let the bullets whizz by around him. He leaned on the horse's back and charged forward in an irregular slant with the silk rein. The hooves are kicked apart like clouds and fog.

The soldiers of the Ming army behind Zhu Yousong saw their majesty charging forward in the rain of bullets.

Rush down from a small slope, only a distance of more than 1000 meters, how can you drive the expeditionary force like a wolf and a tiger?

Without even smoking a cigarette, Zhu Yousong led the imperial battalion into the allied camp.

This is [-] to [-] Allied troops did not charge, but surrounded the hill.The reason why they did not charge under the cover of artillery fire was that the shelling had just begun, and even some cannons were not ready, and more importantly, Mazarin was easy to use suicide shelling.

That is to say, if they charge under the cover of artillery fire, they may be cannon fodder for their own cannons, which means that the soldiers of the Ming army will die together. Therefore, unless Mazarin gives a death order, they will not, under the artillery fire They rushed forward amidst the sound, and they waited for the shelling before rushing up the hillside.

However, at this time, Zhu Yousong no longer gave them a chance.

At this time, the Allied Army had 8 troops, while Zhu Yousong had only 3000. Moreover, when Zhu Yousong rushed into the Allied Army's ranks first, the more than 3000 soldiers behind him had already become an imaginary number. It has been buried in this land forever.

The 3000 to [-] European allied forces are all elites, and they have firearms and cannons, while Zhu Yousong's [-] troops have run out of firearms and ammunition, and only have cold weapons such as knives, guns, bows and arrows.

If you compare it this way, the disadvantage of the Ming army is obvious.

But the advantages of the Ming army are not without one thing. First, Zhu Yousong personally led the charge and took the lead. I am afraid that there is nothing more morale-inspiring than the emperor's first climb into the battle.

In addition, Zhu Yousong rushed into the enemy camp with lightning speed, and the Allied forces were caught off guard by surprise.

The third is also a very important aspect. Although the Allies have a large number of people and have muskets and cannons, these things are not good for close combat, and this is precisely the strength of Zhu Yousong and others.

Therefore, both sides have advantages and disadvantages, so this melee is full of variables.

Zhu Yousong hadn't personally killed the enemy for a long time, and today he wanted to have a good time. He rushed into the Allied army camp first, the sword in his hand had already been unsheathed, and the arc-shaped sword light enveloped his men and horses. Wherever he passed, blood and horses of the allied forces were splashed, swords and guns were flying around, even the cannon could not stop his sword light, a cannon disintegrated under his sword light, and all the generals of these European powers changed color in fright.
