I will be the prince at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 39 Flower Bullet
Zhu Cixuan and Li Dingguo set off from Kunming, passed through Yiliang, crossed the Nanpan River, and crossed Guangxi Prefecture. They arrived in Guangnan Prefecture two days later. Li Dingguo immediately rectified his troops and arranged for the defense of Guangnan Prefecture. He rested in Guangnan for one night. The army set off early in the morning.

Since the 3-man army of Zhu Cixuan and Li Dingguo was equipped with more than [-] horses alone, the marching speed was very fast, and the march exceeded [-] miles a day. War horses, so they entered Guangxi within four days from Kunming.

On May 13, the [-]th year of the Yongli calendar, the army arrived at Sizhou City. There was only one Niulu [-] Tartars in Sizhou City, and a thousand Ming troops who surrendered to the Tartars.

Li Dingguo and Zhu Cixuan directly set up their positions, pulled out the cannons in red and launched a strong attack on Sizhou City. The shells hit the tower, and there was a violent explosion with a "boom". The tartars within a radius of three to four feet in the center were instantly emptied.

Explosive bombs, the red-clothed cannons of the Ming army actually fired explosive bombs, which frightened the defenders of the city. You must know that the Ming army generally fires solid iron bullets. Although the power is not bad, the lethality is limited. The bomb is different. Once it explodes, it is difficult for anyone within three or four feet from the center of the explosion to survive.

The Tartars had suffered from explosive bombs before, so when they saw the Ming army firing explosive bombs, they ran down the city wall one by one, and stayed on the city wall at this time, it was courting death.The green battalion soldiers who surrendered to the Tartars knew the power of explosive bullets, and they even ran faster than the Tartars.

Not to mention the Tartars, even Zhu Cixuan was shocked when he learned that the Ming army was equipped with flowering ammunition. We can’t blame him for his reaction. He was stunned by Ming’s technological strength. The bomb is a hundred times stronger, which is a big killer in war.

Later, he asked Song Shiyuan and learned that during this period, the Ming army was not only equipped with explosive bombs, but also equipped with weapons such as trigger mines and sea mines. Manufacturing, the Tartars can still enter the Great Wall and fight all the way to Yunnan?He was already laid down.

Therefore, Zhu Cixuan immediately asked Song Shiyuan to manufacture a large number of explosive bombs. During this expedition, he hurriedly produced only [-] bombs, but Zhu Cixuan pulled them out. When he left, he asked Song Shiyuan to continue to manufacture a large number of explosive bombs. One hundred pieces were produced and sent to the front for combat.

Only then did the situation in Sizhou City bombard the towers with flowering bullets. However, the number of flowering bullets was too scarce, and Zhu Cixuan only fired three to frighten the Tartar soldiers defending the city. Most of the rest were solid iron bombs. bomb.

At the same time, Zhu Cixuan led [-] Mauser riflemen at a distance of [-] feet from the city wall, and shot at the head of the city with their rifles. After a round of five bullets was finished, there was not a single Tartar soldier in sight on the top of the city. Zhu Cixuan looked behind him. A powerful guard waved his hand, and the guard ran towards the city gate with a bundle of cluster grenades.

This bundle of cluster grenades consists of seven M24 wooden-handled grenades tightly tied together with cloth straps, and a three-foot-long wooden stick is tied underneath. The grenade leaned against the gap between the two city gates. Unscrewed the back cover of the grenade, pulled out the fuse, and pulled it hard. A puff of blue smoke came out of the grenade, and the guard ran back.

He was still muttering: "One, two, three." Of course when he said three, he jumped up and lay down on the ground.

"Boom" the city gate was full of flames, the gunpowder smoke cleared, and a big hole was broken in the solid city gate. Zhu Cixuan waved his hand and shouted: "Go up." Three hundred Mauser riflemen led by Mu Zhongliang rushed towards the city gate. rush away.

Li Dingguo drew his broadsword and shouted: "Cavalry, prepare to attack." Ten thousand cavalry lined up to attack, waiting for further orders.

The Mauser rifleman ran to the gate of the city in the blink of an eye, and two soldiers pulled out the grenade from their waists, pulled the ring, and threw the grenade in through the big hole in the gate...

"Boom" two violent explosions sounded, and dozens of soldiers rushed into the city through the big hole blasted in the city gate. After a while, the city gate opened with a "squeak" and the Mauser riflemen outside the city rushed into the city. , armed with a rifle, rushed into the city like a whirlwind...

Li Dingguo waved his sword: "Cavalry, charge."

"Hu rumbling" deafening sound of horseshoes sounded, [-] cavalry lined up in two columns and rushed to the city gate.

The [-] riflemen who entered the city first took up their rifles and aimed at the Tartars who appeared on the front sight, and pulled the trigger. As the gunshots continued to ring out, one Tartar after another was shot and killed.

Niu Lu among the Tartars, seeing the inexplicably killed one by one around him, his eyes suddenly turned red, raised the scimitar in his hand, screamed strangely, and urged his horse to charge the riflemen.

Mu Zhongliang picked up his rifle and took aim for a while. A 7.92mm pointed bullet was triggered by the primer. The gunpowder in the bullet case expanded rapidly, and the bullet was driven by the rapidly expanding propellant. Flying out of the barrel at high speed, a head of this man got into the forehead of the tartar on the horse.

The hard helmet couldn't stop the high-speed spinning bullets. In the end, the bullet pierced through the helmet, broke his skull, smashed his brain, and flew out from the back of his head, creating a cloud of blood mist with a "bang" ...

The Tazi Niulu's charging movement stopped abruptly, he swayed on his horse's back twice, fell off his horse's back with a "plop", and fell heavily on the ground covered with bluestone slabs.

When the remaining Tatars saw their Niulu Dazi dying in anger, they screamed "Woo Li Wa La" and fled in all directions. The Green Battalion soldiers were even more miserable.

Some ran away as fast as they could, and some stood there in a daze with wide-eyed eyes and long mouths, smartly throwing away the weapons in their hands, kneeling on the ground with their heads in their hands, trembling.

The sound of "rumbling" horseshoes sounded from the city gate, and the cavalry of the Ming army rushed into the city like a whirlwind, divided into dozens of groups along the streets and alleys of Sizhou City, and wiped out the remaining Tartars street by street.

Two quarters of an hour later, Sizhou City was completely occupied, and Zhu Cixuan rode into the city under the guard of Wei Bao and Wang Sheng.Not surprisingly, of course, when entering the city gate, two long-lost "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" system prompts sounded in my mind.

He focused his attention on his mind, and saw a shining golden card and a jade bottle floating in front of the system mall. He focused on the card, "Skills open, 36-way Huifeng Luoyan Sword, from the Hengshan School, may I ask?" use or not."

"Use" Zhu Cixuan thought in his heart, the card turned into a golden light and dissipated in Zhu Cixuan's mind, each villain began to practice sword skills, and in an instant Zhu Cixuan had mastered the Hengshan School's 36-way Huifeng Luoyan Sword.

A bright sword light flashed in his eyes, and then quickly returned to normal. Wei Bao and Wang Sheng beside him suddenly felt palpitations, as if a swordsman pointed a sword at their throats, and a layer of goose bumps suddenly appeared all over their bodies. , but this feeling comes and goes quickly.The two looked around cautiously, but they didn't find anything unusual, could it be an illusion?The two thought suspiciously.

Zhu Cixuan didn't know that Wei Bao and Wang Sheng's sudden aura had such a big impact on Wei Bao and Wang Sheng when he had mastered the 36-step Huifeng Luoyan Sword just now, so he focused his attention on the jade bottle again.

"Golden sore medicine is mainly used for the treatment of injuries caused by knives and axes, bruises, all injuries caused by knives and axes, falls and shatters, when applied, it can relieve pain and stop bleeding immediately, let alone pus."
