Saving the Ming Dynasty: I can exchange bodies with Chongzhen

Chapter 45 The Beijing Camp is yours!

There were two more loud bangs.

The loud bang shocked Zhu Chunchen's ears and he could no longer hear anything. He wanted to get up, but another shell landed at his feet, lifting him up and then bringing him down again.

He subconsciously reached for his feet, but found that he was touching an empty trouser leg.

His hands were covered in blood.

His eyeballs suddenly bulged out, and fear and horror were written all over his face.

"Enemy...Yongwei Battalion?!" Zhu Chunchen finally understood what had happened. Time seemed to freeze the exploding smoke and body parts at this moment, presenting them in front of him.

boom!
The mud and body parts were still flying on the ground. A lieutenant general who was only one step away wanted to help him up, but was hit by a cannonball. The spurting blood hit Zhu Chunchen's face.

It covered his eyes and nose, and the pungent smell of blood rushed into his lungs, making him want to vomit.

……

In the Yongwei Battalion, Sun Yingyuan held a flag and shouted to the artillery: "Reload and fire!"

"Boom!"

White smoke rose up and flames burst out from the iron pipe, when a soldier pulled the sub-cannon out of the Francois cannon, and another soldier put another sub-cannon into the belly of the mother cannon from the side.

The soldiers waiting beside the mother gun fired the cannon again.

There are at least seven or eight sub-guns next to each Francois cannon.

There were eight of the same French cannons, plus the previous sixteen Red Cannons, and the sound was deafening.

"put!"

Boom boom boom...

The soldiers of the Beijing camp had just been practicing spear formations, so they were standing in a relatively close group. A large iron lump came over and knocked down a large number of them.

The limbs flew everywhere, it was shocking.

The eight improved Francois cannons fired more than thirty shells in just a few minutes, while the sixteen Red Cannons only fired one shell.

The spurting tongues of fire were like the god of death's scythe, reaping a whole crop with one strike.

Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong were both stunned, staring at the French cannon with their eyes glowing green.

Looking around, the Beijing camp was in complete chaos. Anyone hit by a shell would be seriously injured if not killed.

The place where the Beijing camp was located had become a sea of ​​blood and corpses, with wailing everywhere.

At this time, the improved Francois cannon had fired eight shells. Huang Degong suddenly drew out his sword and let out a loud roar.

"Musketeer!"

Following Huang Degong's order, the musketeers of the Yongwei Camp rushed forward quickly. The effective range of the flintlock rifle was within 80 meters.

"Fire musket shooting!"

"Bang bang bang~"

So, they try to get as close as possible.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp had collapsed early and started to flee in all directions. They no longer cared about the noble lords like the Duke of Chengguo and the Earl of Xinjian.

But before they could escape, they fell to the ground one by one.

The screams, pain, and chaos around him finally reached Zhu Chunchen's ears. He shouted in pain, "Save me, save me quickly."

"you……"

But no one answered him, as they were already frightened out of their wits by the scene before them.

After a few rounds of shooting.

Huang Degong's roar sounded again, "Cavalry, charge!"

He personally rode on a war horse, and thousands of cavalrymen rushed into the position of the Beijing camp like a torrent.

Once the cavalry rushed into the infantry camp, it would be a one-sided massacre, not to mention that the infantry in front of them had already no longer formed any camp.

There was no resistance, and thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp were directly defeated.

"Hilulu..." The war horses neighed and the long swords sharpened. The heads of the soldiers in the Beijing camp flew up one by one.

"Kill!" Scarlet blood flowed from the long sword in Huang Degong's hand, and he shouted to the people in the Beijing camp: "Don't leave any one alive!" The general is the courage of the army. With Huang Degong's words, his brothers naturally showed no mercy. The cavalry was like an iron stream, plowing through once, turning their horses back, charging again, and killing again.

The huge pain made beads of sweat drip down Zhu Chunchen's forehead. He shouted to Huang Degong: "Huang Degong, I am Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo."

"You are a friend, not an enemy. Come and save me."

Huang Degong narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Go!"

Ride the horse and draw the sword,

The blade was as shiny as snow as it chopped off Zhu Chunchen's head.

Zhu Chunchen was so horrified that his soul trembled, his teeth chattered, and he could not help but run backwards. However, he forgot that he was missing a leg, and as soon as he took a step, he fell to the ground.

He used his hands and feet and crawled forward desperately.

The warhorse under Huang Degong whizzed past, and the long sword chopped Zhu Chunchen's neck. There was a sound of "kang" that his spine was broken. Zhu Chunchen didn't even make a scream. His head was separated from his body and fell into a puddle of blood on the ground.

The soldiers under Huang Degong were equally ruthless and every blow was fatal.

……

Inside the Yongwei Camp, Wang Chengen trotted over to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Cheng has passed away!"

Zhu Changgan raised his head and asked, "Are you sure it's him?"

"The eunuch went to see it personally, that's right." Wang Chengen waved to his men, and immediately someone ran in from outside, holding a head in his clothes.

It was Zhu Chunchen's head.

"Good!" Zhu Changgan breathed a sigh of relief. After this battle, the Beijing Army should have no resistance anymore.

It's not that he is cruel and ruthless, but those who can follow Zhu Chunchen to ask for wages are almost all his direct subordinates. Excluding Zhu Chunchen alone may not be able to solve the problem.

If that’s the case, let’s get rid of them all at once to prevent future trouble.

"Bury him!" Zhu Changgan waved his hand.

When the Ming Dynasty was facing life and death, Chongzhen ordered Duke Chengguo to guard the Qihua Gate in the capital.

When Chongzhen wanted to escape, he refused to open the city gates, attempting to lock Chongzhen up in the city so that he could seek credit and reward from Li Zicheng. As a result, Chongzhen had no way to escape and could only return to Coal Hill to hang himself.

Chongzhen didn't even see Zhu Chunchen's ugly face before he died. How could he have thought that he would be buried here? !

Zhu Changgan stood up and asked, "Where's Li Banghua?"

"Your Majesty, there was a lot of chaos just now. The eunuchs have already picked him up and asked him to wait five miles away."

"Let him come here!"

"It's your Majesty."

After an incense stick of time, Li Banghua followed the eunuch into the Yongwei Camp.

The Qingming Festival has passed. It should have been a peaceful time when all things grow, but the smell of blood in the air and the red ground filled the world with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

The shouts of the brave soldiers in the Yongwei Battalion shook the sky. Having just staged an annihilation battle, they entered into training again.

The movements were in perfect unison and the roars were like thunder.

Li Banghua was stunned for a moment as he looked at the Yongwei Camp which was like a torrent.

"Admiral Li, let's go, the Emperor is waiting for you."

"Oh..." Li Banghua suddenly reacted and hurriedly followed the eunuch's footsteps. He didn't see the emperor until he reached a barracks.

"Your Majesty, I, Li Banghua, pay my respects to you."

"Get up, the Beijing Camp is yours." Zhu Changgan said to Li Banghua with a smile.

"..." Li Banghua was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

Wang Chengen stepped forward and said, "Duke Chengguo Zhu Chunchen instigated a mutiny in the Beijing camp, and was just suppressed by the Yongwei camp."

"I will hand over the Beijing Camp to you today." Zhu Changgan nodded at him and said, "I have only one request, Meng Anyi, you must do your best to bring me a brand new Beijing Camp."
