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

Chapter 155 Attacked
  Early the next morning.

Zhu Xuan integrated the entire army, had a simple breakfast, and then continued to set off.

When they passed a mountain col, the situation happened again. The scout responsible for exploring the road came back and said: "Your Highness, there is an ambush nearby!"

As soon as the scout finished speaking, the people who were ambushing him appeared and came out to fight.

They are very familiar with the environment here and have the geographical advantage. They did not attack at night last night just to find a place more suitable for the attack so that Zhu Xuan and the others could not escape.

This is the right place for an attack.

"Shield!"

Li Niu shouted first.

Because those Annan soldiers, the archers came forward first.

As soon as their shields were raised, the enemy's bow was drawn, and a row of arrows shot down around the col, but most of them were blocked by the shields.

As soon as the enemy's arrows were fired, the gunmen from the Shenji Battalion took action.

boom……

A burst of gunfire echoed in the mountain col. Bullets were fired at the enemy's archers, and a group of people fell immediately.

"Gunners take cover, Tiger Crouching Cannon is ready!"

Seeing this, Zhu Xuan ordered again.

The gunners of the Shenji Battalion fired in two parts. In the first part, they fired all five bullets, in the second part, they quickly made up for it, and then in the first part, they loaded the bullets.

The rifle has a longer range, is more accurate, is more lethal, and does not require frequent reloading.

Those Annan archers only shot the first row of sharp arrows, but they were suppressed so much that they lost the ability to draw their bows. They were shot to death as soon as they appeared. Their bows and arrows were no match for rifles.

The gunners were almost done suppressing the cover, and the Tiger Crouching Cannon was almost ready, with ammunition stuffed into the barrel.

At this time, the Annan soldiers took out their shields one by one. They no longer drew their bows and shot arrows, but raised their shields to resist the bullets and continued to fight over them, engaging in close combat.

How could Zhu Xuan let them get close? While letting people shoot, he also distributed the Crouching Tiger Cannon around their formation.

"Light the medicine thread!"

Wang Er drank.

boom……

Immediately, the ground shook due to the recoil, the sound of the cannon was deafening, and the huge cannonballs, plus the stones filled in, splashed out towards the enemy.

boom!
  Those shields could not withstand the impact of the shells and were smashed open on the spot.

The impact range of the stones was also very large, causing extensive damage. Some shields were penetrated, and some stones crossed the shields and splashed down on the enemy, causing those Annan soldiers to panic.

The formation of the Annan soldiers was in chaos, and the gunners refilled their bullets and started shooting. The bullets could penetrate the shields.

The shells and bullets were fired in unison. The enemy still wanted to attack, but before they could get close, a large area was killed, and they were beaten in a hurry.

It's not that the Annan people have never fought with the Ming army. Even in the previous wars, the Ming army also had artillery, but it was not suitable for mountainous terrain and did not pose much of a threat to them. But the current tiger squatting artillery is different.

There are also rifles, which are much stronger than the firecrackers used by the Ming army before.

These two things worked together, and the Annan soldiers did not know what to do, and they did not dare to charge again. Half of the more than 4,000 people attacking were killed in the blink of an eye.

The remaining ones retreated one after another.

Tang Sai'er was very surprised when he saw this scene, but seeing that the Annan soldiers did not dare to fight again, the plan was considered a failure.

As long as there was no chaos inside Zhu Xuan, she had no way to take action and could only continue to lurk.

The morning attack was led by Ruan Wen Yong, who was eager to kill the evildoer. However, seeing his own men, he launched two waves of charges and was defeated even as he couldn't get past Zhu Xuan.

The remaining Annan soldiers retreated one after another.

Compared with the Ming army, their discipline is far behind. Once they find that they can't defeat them, they turn around and run away, not wanting to fight again.

"It really is a monster!"

Ruan Wenyong stood on a hillside and looked down at Zhu Xuan, with murderous intent in his eyes. This monster used an unknown weapon to disrupt his Annan soldiers. As the master said, if this monster continues to live, their Annan will suffer.

"How can I kill him?"

Ruan Wenyong looked at his defeated soldiers and had no choice but to order a retreat first.

Return to Luzhou, defend Luzhou, and then think of a solution.

The Annan soldiers all ran away soon.

They left countless corpses in this mountainous area.

Zhu Xuan asked everyone to be on alert, and the scouts continued to be sent out to get out of this place where they could easily be ambushed.

The next road was safe and quiet. There were no other ambushes and no enemy scouts could be seen. When they walked beyond the mountains and onto the flat land, they relaxed their vigilance a little.

If fighting on flat ground, Zhu Xuan is more confident and can rub against the Annan people.

"Your Highness, if we walk half an hour ahead, we will reach Luzhou."

said the guide.

Zhu Xuan ordered: "Have a rest for a while and then set off again!"

Everyone rested where they were, while the gunners from the Shenji Battalion checked the ammunition and filled the magazine.

Ordinary Ming soldiers, the injured were bandaged now, and the uninjured sat down to rest. There were no soldiers killed this time, but in the face of the first batch of arrows, dozens of people were injured by arrows.

Fortunately, the injuries were not serious, they were all superficial injuries.

The Jin Yiwei led by Yan Guan stood by their side in full formation.

"Your Highness, Ruan Wenyong has led his people to retreat into the city and has no intention of leaving the city."

The scout came back and said.

After hearing this, Yan Guan asked, "Can we open the city gate like we attacked Meng Shou?"

Zhu Xuan shook his head and said, "There's no need for this. I have another method. You'll find out later. It's very simple."

After almost resting, Zhu Xuan ordered to continue setting off.

The journey of half an hour was completed quickly.

It took almost two days to walk here from Mengmang.

Zhu Xuan was in good physical condition and did not feel very tired. He arrived outside Luzhou City easily. He did not intend to attack directly, but instead asked people to camp and rest.

The camp is just outside Luzhou, within about five miles of woods.

Ruan Wenyong knew that Zhu Xuan was coming with his troops, so he quickly sent people out of the city to inquire. Zhu Xuanhun didn't care about those who inquired, and did nothing, as if he was simply setting up camp to rest.

Time flies quickly and enters night.

"Grandmaster!"

Ruan Wenyong saw Ding Gugang coming again and quickly bowed.

Ding Gugang said calmly: "That monster has some tricks up his sleeve!"

Ruan Wenyong lowered his head and said: "Actually, I am incompetent and cannot help Master get rid of the evildoer."

Ding Gugang did not mean to blame, shook his head and sighed: "After all, the other party is a monster, it is not easy to get rid of it. This is not your fault. I have other arrangements. You wait in the city, and when the fire outside is soaring into the sky, I will go out to fight and get rid of it." Opportunity for monsters.”

"why?"

Ruan Van Yong asked curiously.

Ding Gugang said mysteriously: "Just follow my instructions. If I hadn't killed someone, it would have been easy for me to be tainted by the cause and effect. I wouldn't have needed your help. I could have destroyed the monster with a wave of my hand. What a pity!"

"it is good!"

Ruan Wenyong completely believed it and thought the master was very powerful.
