Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 224 Against
The sudden roar of the cannon startled many people.

Guarded by dozens of well-equipped servants, Gao Liangming, the governor of Haizhou, who had just stepped on the city wall and poked his head out, trembled and almost fell to the ground. It's not much better, standing on the city is trembling all over.

Gao Zhizhou swallowed a mouthful of saliva and sighed: "Sure enough, we still need to use cannons!"

The military consensus of civil servants of the Ming Dynasty is that cannons are used to fight wars.

What was more terrified than Gao Zhizhou and others were the captive soldiers on the opposite side of the Ming army.

The cavalry formation of the captive soldiers was a little chaotic for a moment. To many of them, the sound of the cannons of the Ming army was almost equivalent to the drums of death.

These are the remnants of the soldiers who fled from the south.

Fortunately, being in the army formation gave them courage and did not collapse.

And the cannon didn't hit them either. The shells whizzed past and passed overhead. Only a few shells hit the camp behind them, and most of the shells flew away.

It's not that Daming's gunners are too poor, but that Yang Chao specially ordered them to do so. Yang Chao's order was to aim at the barracks as much as possible and keep the shells away from the battlefield as much as possible.

It wasn't that Yang Chao didn't want to use these cannons to kill the enemy, but that he was worried that the shells would fall into his soldiers.

Yang Chao is not at ease with these cannons, it is not the gunner's problem, but the problem of the cannon itself, this kind of ancient cast iron cannon and bronze cannon can't hit the enemy just over the head of his own people after a hundred steps. Accuracy.

But it is still necessary to fire the cannon. Yang Chao believes that as long as the cannon is fired, it will be a deterrent to the enemy and an encouragement to his own people.

Through these few days of observation, Yang Chao knows that many soldiers have a good impression of the cannon, and even have an inexplicable sense of worship.

Then firing the cannon by himself can inspire his own people. As for whether it will deter the enemy, Yang Chao is not so sure, after all, he doesn't know how the captive soldiers feel about the cannon.

The Ming army's formation rolled forward, still in a straight line.

In the army formation, Diao Erdou felt that his body was a little tight and his mouth was dry.

Diao Erdou scolded himself severely, telling himself that a real hero would not be afraid.

Diao Erdou was the last batch of recruits, but the strange thing was that he had never been afraid before today, as to why he was suddenly afraid.

That's because three days ago, when their team charged, they suffered heavy losses, several were injured, and one died. What made Diao Erdou even more frightened was that the one who died was their team leader.

Diao Erdou was very sad about the death of the captain. The team had always treated him very well. Under the training of the captain, Diao Erdou made rapid progress and became a star soldier like a pacesetter. He even received Yang Chao's personal praise.

But his team was dying, and the captured soldier shot a heavy arrow directly in the eye, and died on the spot.

The atmosphere on the battlefield was very dignified, and the soldiers next to them were very enthusiastic, shouting 'one two, one two', and stamped their feet on the ground vigorously.

Many soldiers showed angry faces, hating the captive soldiers who blocked their way home.

But Diao Erdou didn't feel resentment, is it a war? You hit me, I hit you, you kill me, I kill you. The hero wins, and the counselor loses.

Diao Erdou was just worried, he was worried that he would not be able to go back, and he kept thinking of Dui Zheng, such a good person, if he said nothing, he would be gone.

In the past few days, the team usually appeared in Diao Erdou's dream. The team in the dream was so vivid, and he was talking to Diao Erdou about the new house built at home, and a marriage was arranged for him, and he was about to marry a wife.

Every time after waking up from the dream, Diao Erdou found it difficult to fall asleep. Dui Zheng's body was tightly wrapped in linen and placed in the outermost room. Diao Erdou went to see it many times. Deep fear, every time he looked at it, he confirmed once again that the team was really dead.

Diao Erdou's phalanx is the phalanx on the left. The river is ten feet away on the left, and the central phalanx is five feet away on the right. He is a spearman. He also walked forward in unison.

Diao Erdou was a little envious of these archers and blunderbusses. He also practiced bows and arrows, because he was very smart. After becoming a recruit, he mastered all the skills and assassination skills very well, so he was selected to make a bow. Bing, but not long after training, the old man Jin came and said he was not suitable to be an archer, so he got him back to be a spearman.

This made Diao Erdou depressed for a long time, but fortunately the captain kept comforting him.

Thinking of the captain, Diao Erdou felt sad again, and suddenly wondered whether he should avenge the captain or something. Speaking of revenge, Diao Erdou felt a little guilty, because up to now, he hadn't personally killed a single soldier.

He couldn't help but look at Xie Fei who was a few people away, this is a real hero, Diao Erdou admired this Xie Fei very much, he saw Xie Fei kill at least three captive soldiers with his own eyes.

Seeing Xie Fei walking forward with firm steps like himself, Diao Erdou suddenly felt a sense of ease.

Xie Fei is their new team leader. Xie Fei was the team leader before the team leader died. I'm happy, but if he could choose, he would rather not be the official, he thought the team would not have to die.

The sound of cannons kept coming from behind, and the others seemed to be more powerful when they heard the sound of the cannons, but Diao Erdou didn't feel it at all. The power of these cannons also surprised him, but he knew that only by hitting people can they kill people , He talked with the gunners and knew that the cannons were not accurate, so Diao Erdou not only did not feel at ease, but felt a chill down his spine, he was afraid that a shell would plow through his army formation.

Diao Erdou saw through the gaps between the archers, gunners, and shield chariots in front of them that they were already a hundred steps away from the captive soldiers. Suddenly, many men in charge of commanding the banner shouted: "Stand still! Step!"

Diao Erdou habitually stopped and stood on the spot.

……

The captive soldiers cavalry formed four dense rows at this time, with more than 30 people in each row.

The chieftain is a Jiala Ezhen with bright armor. At this time, he is arguing fiercely with a slightly haggard companion.

"Gusena, don't mention the Ming army's cannons to me, look at how many they fired, but one shell fell into our army!"

"Bow! I kindly advise you, but if you don't listen, forget it."

Bone Sena is also wearing a red armor, but it is a little broken and has some dirt on it, not as energetic as pleading.

But this does not affect Gu Sena's status. Like Dunbai, he is Jiala Ezhen under Zhenghong's banner.

The only difference is that the warriors and bannermen of Gusenajiala are all here, while Dingkou of Dunbai is almost dead.

"Hmph, Gusena, you're still thinking about how to take the blame and make meritorious deeds. The general who lost the battle is still a loser."

Dunbai gloated and said that this time the troops were divided into two groups, and Gu Sena obviously liked Beizi more, and he was with Beizi, but he could only guard the north, and the original main attack was also from the south. Who would have thought that the Ming army It was as if he had taken medicine suddenly, and he suddenly became stronger. He even disabled the soldiers under Beizi and Gusena, and Dingkou killed hundreds of people.

The strength of the Manchurian Eight Banners is the most important thing. As long as you have strength, Dingkou, and soldiers, then your status will be high. In the past, Gu Sena was stronger than him, because Gu Sena had more soldiers and Dingkou under his command, but now Gu Serna is no match for him, so there is no need to be polite to Gu Serna, and it is hard to say whether Gu Serna will be held accountable after returning this time. It's true.

Gu Sena snorted coldly at Dunbai's sarcasm: "You don't need to worry about this!"

Dunbai hummed: "Hmph, I want you to take your people to the battle now! I will cover up and kill them later."

Gu Sena frowned, he had more than 40 people left, and most of them were unarmored Yu Ding, who followed to rob, many of them had never been on the battlefield, and after the battle three days ago, their guts had been broken. Now everyone heard the cannons of the Ming army, and their faces turned pale. Taking Yu Ding like this to the battle, isn't that courting death!

Gu Sena knew that Dunbai was not kind, and he was not reconciled if he didn't bury all his subordinates.

Gu Sena snorted coldly: "Why don't you go?"

Dunbai sneered and said: "Gu Sena, don't be ignorant of good and evil. I'm helping you. You go to the battle, and I will cover up and kill you. If you can defeat the Ming army, you still have a chance to make a contribution. You can save Beizi. If you don’t go, think about the consequences of returning to the flag. And I advise you to be more polite to me. You are no longer the bone sena of the past. To put it mildly this time Go back, maybe you are an inferior subordinate."

Thinking of the military law of the Eight Banners, Gu Sena couldn't help but feel chills down his spine. Judging from the situation in front of him, he might really be deprived of all his mouths after returning, and even his family members would have to be slaves. Before him is his last Chance.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling he is, no matter how unbearable his subordinates are, for their family, he must take this risk.

But he worried: "You promise you will follow?"

If Gu Sena went to charge the battle, but Dunbai didn't keep up and hid behind to watch the fun, Gu Sena would not doubt that the Ming army on the opposite side would eat all the bones he ate.

Dunbai laughed and said, "That depends on whether you understand or not?"

Gusena asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Gu Sena is a straightforward person, or in other words, without many twists and turns, a man who came out of the mountains and forests. He has never read a book, never seen a play, and he has never even seen a complicated person of all kinds. Guy who doesn't know, it's really hard for you to make him not straightforward.

Dunbai smiled: "Your little daughter is not married yet, right?"

Seeing Dunbai's malicious smile, Gu Sena understood, and couldn't help being disgusted and hated, but at this time he had no choice.

Suppressing his anger: "Okay, back to Liaodong, I'll send Bolun to your home!"

Dunbai shook the whip in his hand, and said proudly: "Go, kill all the Ming soldiers, and we will be a family from now on!"

Gu Sena didn't speak, but rode out, yelling at his men and horses.

Soon, more than a dozen cavalrymen were killed from the side, and under the leadership of Gu Sena, they rushed towards the Ming army.
