Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 151 First Battle
  After hearing Wang Er's order, the two hundred soldiers skillfully pulled the bolts of their guns, watched the enemy coming, and fired directly.

boom……

A gunshot rang out.

More than a hundred enemies who rushed over fell immediately.

When the remaining Annan people saw this, they were stunned and then stopped. They only heard the sound of gunshots and people fell down. They didn't even realize what kind of weapons the Ming army used, but they were really scared. Never dare to rush forward again.

"Run!"

The next moment, someone shouted.

The remaining Annan soldiers turned around and ran away. They no longer cared about the weapons used by Mingjun, they only knew that they could not win.

Not only did they run away, Li Zhen ran faster.

The moment he heard the gunshot, Li Zhen turned around and ran away without hesitation, not even taking back the things he grabbed.

"Chase!"

Wang Er drank.

The soldiers gave chase and shot and killed dozens more.

The remaining Annan soldiers followed Li Zhen and fled desperately. Wang Er and the others continued to shoot, but the distance was too far and they could not hit. They could only watch them escape and did not pursue them again. They waited for Zhu Xuan and the others to follow. superior.

Waited for a while.

Zhu Xuan finally caught up.

"Your Highness, let the enemy leader escape..." Wang Er reported the results of the battle.

Zhu Xuan said with satisfaction: "That's good. Put away the things discarded by the enemy and let's continue marching."

After taking a look at the corpses on the ground, he was no longer afraid. He also saw the effect of the rifle on the battlefield. The effect was very good. He was satisfied and continued marching.

We also passed some villages along the way, which had already been plundered once by Li Zhen.

Zhu Xuan asked people to distribute the things that Li Zhen had discarded to people in nearby villages, but the quantity was limited, so he only distributed it to two villages. When he saw that the Ming army was coming to avenge them, the people in the village were very enthusiastic and took the initiative to lead the way. .

We walked for about half a day.

A city finally appeared in front of you.

"Your Highness, this place is so slow."

A villager leading the way said politely.

Zhu Xuan looked up and saw that the city was not big and the walls were not very high. It was just an ordinary city.

Not to mention big cities like Kunming, even Pingxiangzhou within the scope of Siming can't match the speed and speed. It is easier to attack such a small city, and Zhu Xuan's confidence is a little more confident.

"Thank you, big brother!"

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "Hou Xian, give this eldest brother some reward, we are ready to attack the city!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The villager who led the way was so grateful.

Li Zhen had just escaped back to the city, and before he could warm his buttocks, he received a report from the Annan soldiers guarding the city, saying that the Ming troops were chasing him. He quickly climbed up the tower to take a look, and shouted loudly: "Get ready to defend the city!"

Their method of defending the city was learned from the Ming army.

They probably used wood and rocks to hit the soldiers attacking the city, or used bows to shoot arrows, long-range attacks, etc.

The Annan people guarding the city prepared these things immediately.

Zhu Xuan did not use the ladder to attack the city. He raised his head to look at the tower and shouted: "Two thousand infantrymen are coming, raise their shields in front. The gunmen from the Shenji Battalion hide behind the shields and push forward. The shields resist the rain of arrows. The gunmen aim at If the enemies on the tower see someone coming up, shoot them!"

Before going into battle, Zhu Xuan gathered all the shields in Zhennanguan.

There were not enough shields at that time, so some simple ones were improvised.

It just uses several wooden boards to be pieced together and fixed together. Worrying about being shot through, I thickened the wooden boards and made a handle to make it easier to hold on. There are more than 2,000 pieces in total. Try to make it as much as possible.

Zhu Xuan said again: "Li Niu, you bring twenty more people and fix our explosives on the city gate under cover."

"Yes!"

Li Niu responded.

All the soldiers responded in unison. The shield bearer stepped forward first, followed by the gunners from the Shenji Battalion.

Since there were still 300 people from the Shenji Battalion on the Yingtian Ship to help Mu Sheng attack Annan from the sea, the current 700 people quickly stepped forward and pushed forward behind the shield.

"shoot!"

Li Zhen saw the Ming army entering the shooting range and shouted quickly.

Seeing the enemy draw their bows, the shield-bearer raised his shield to protect the gunners from the Shenji Battalion from the rain of arrows.

The gunman felt that the distance was close, so he quickly raised his gun and penetrated the gap in the shield. He fired at the Annan people on the tower who were preparing to shoot arrows.

As soon as the gunfire rang out, more than two hundred Annan soldiers fell down after being shot.

Before the Annan people on the tower had finished changing their arrows, the soldiers from the Shenji Battalion fired their second shot, knocking down another row of people in an instant.

The rifle's continuous fire and higher accuracy scared those Annan soldiers from showing up again. If they were replaced by ordinary bows and arrows, and thrown up the tower, the hit rate would be extremely low, and they could only be used as cover and Suppress the enemy.

Rifles are different. Their hit rate is much higher than that of bows and arrows, and their lethality is also stronger.

The Annan soldiers on the city tower no longer dared to show their heads. Seeing this opportunity, Li Niu asked people to cover him, and then led others to rush towards the city gate.

"quick!"

Li Niu drank.

Before setting off, Zhu Xuan used gunpowder to make several explosives.

Li Niu and the others nailed explosives to the city gate, and placed several explosives under the city gate. After lighting the explosive wire, they shouted: "Retreat!"

They exited quickly.

Just then, the Annan soldiers on the city tower found an opportunity to draw their bows and shoot, and a row of arrows rained down from the sky.

But they were all blocked by their shields

As soon as Li Niu and the others retreated to a safe distance, the medicine line was burned out, and then there was a "boom" explosion.

The city gate was blown open directly.

The Annan soldiers standing behind the city gate were caught off guard and fell into a pool of blood.

"Enter the city!"

Zhu Xuan shouted orders at this time.

The shield bearers were in front and the gunners from the Shenji Battalion were behind. The formation entering the city did not change.

As soon as they entered the city gate, a group of archers from Annan's army came over and drew their bows to shoot.

"block!"

Wang Er shouted.

The soldiers raised their shields to block the arrows.

Just as the enemy was changing arrows, Wang Er said again: "Shoot!"

boom……

Gunshots echoed.

The gunman got in smoothly.

After entering the city, they immediately counterattacked the tower and beat Li Zhen and others on the tower.

Other soldiers then stormed in, and the gunmen broke away from the cover of the shield bearers and shot and killed the enemies.

The shield bearer drew out his saber and charged towards the enemy. The tower was quickly occupied by them, and Li Zhen was forced to walk down the tower and escape to the south of the city.

But as soon as he walked out, Li Niu raised his rifle and shot him in the back of the heart. He fell on the spot and died.

Seeing that his general was shot dead, the remaining soldiers were leaderless and in chaos. They were quickly killed. Meng Shou was captured like this, and the entire enemy army was wiped out.

On the Ming army's side, no one was killed, and only a dozen people were injured.

The first siege battle was a great victory!
  They had rifles to sweep the formation, catching the enemy by surprise, and explosives to bombard the city gates. The most important thing was that Li Zhen's soldiers were not many, and more than 2,000 people were quickly consumed, which was why they fought so easily.

The next trip to Luzhou should not be so easy.
