Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 147

Liu Liangzuo saw it at a glance, it was Zhu Yousong standing on the top of the city, and the Hunjun hadn't left yet?He couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

"Mr. Hun, wait!" Liu Liangzuo pointed his finger in frustration, and shouted back angrily, "Give me a cannon to bombard the city, use all the firepower, and bombard me vigorously!"

Zhu Yousong yelled sharply: "Wait! Liu Liangzuo, it is no exaggeration to say that there are [-] soldiers from the Beijing camp in the city. If I gave an order just now, and they all rushed out of the city, I don't need to say the consequences. You can stand still!" Are you shouting at me here? The reason why I didn't do that is that when you were defeated, I didn't even have people chase you down, why? It's not because I don't know how to use soldiers, but because I don't want to kill them all. You don't regret your death. But I have the virtue of living well, and I don’t want all your tens of thousands of horses to be buried by the river moat. He who knows the current affairs is a hero, so hurry up and bring your troops to surrender. As I said before, I will only kill you alone, and I will never kill innocent people indiscriminately. , I will never kill your family, this is your last chance."

Although what Zhu Yousong said was all the truth, and he was indeed thinking of Liu Liangzuo and his tens of thousands of people, but these words were more for Liu Liangzuo's generals to listen to. Trying to get Liu Liangzuo to surrender or to kill him, it is undoubtedly the same as the tiger. .

Liu Liangzuo rolled his eyes in anger, "Stop daydreaming, you fool, I, Liu Liangzuo, are at odds with you, shoot me!"

This time, before he could finish speaking, there was the sound of cannons that shook the ground, and the continuous roar almost drowned out his orders.

Liu Liangzuo was a bit proud, the artillery battalion reacted so quickly, and soon the capital would be blown up beyond recognition by him, let's see if Hunjun dares to stand on the top of the city and domineeringly.

However, he soon discovered that something was wrong. The city of Nanjing was safe and sound. The scene of gunpowder smoke filled with bricks and stones flying randomly did not appear. Zhu Yousong still stood calmly on the top of the city, looking towards the direction of Xishan with a smile on his face.

Following Zhu Yousong's line of sight, Liu Liangzuo noticed that the place where the cannon was fired was a certain distance away from him, and it should have come from Xishan Pass ten miles away.

Liu Liangzuo was surprised, Cai Ting really did not have artillery with 1 horses, so does the imperial battalion with thousands of horses still have artillery?But so what, ten thousand against five thousand, there should be a chance of winning!

Liu Liangzuo and his troops looked towards the direction of Xishan with fear and hope...

Liu Liangzuo guessed right, the place where the cannon was fired was Xishan Pass outside Nanjing City, and it was indeed not his men who fired the cannon, but the newly established imperial guards.

It turned out that Cai Tingzhen's West Route Army was ordered by Liu Liangzuo to first eliminate the 5000 troops in Xishanao. According to Liu Liangzuo's order, his 1 troops quickly fought. After pulling out this horn, they attacked the city from the west. , The three-way army attacked the city on three sides, and behind it was the rolling river. It was useless for the Qin King's divisions from all over the place to come.

But this is just a plan, or wishful thinking and good wishes.

In reality, plans often do not change, and good wishes are always shattered by cruel reality.

As soon as Cai Tingzhen approached Xishanao with 1 horses, the cannon rang. It was not a letter cannon with one or two or three shots, but continuous and earth-shattering shelling.

Like Liu Liangzuo, Cai Yanzhen never dreamed that these thousands of troops would still have cannons?It is said that this is an imperial camp that has just been established and is still in the recruiting period. Since it has such excellent equipment, why didn't the faint king deploy it at the top of the city to defend the city and retreat from the enemy?
This is why Liu Liangzuo and Cai Yanzhen underestimated the enemy too much. They were also eager to win. They did not send scouts to find out the details of this army beforehand. They only knew that there were thousands of troops here, and even the name of the general. Cai Ting really didn't know.

One must know that the well-known Liu Zhaoji is in command here, Cai Tingzhen would never dare to rush into the army, but it is already late at night.

Liu Zhaoji deployed the 1000-strong supply battalion that had been effective in the initial training at Xishankou, and concealed all 10 artillery pieces, including 70 Hongyi cannons, [-] Frang machine guns and tiger squatting guns, here in order to give the Panjun a head-on blow.

Eighty such cannon roared.The artilleryman named Li Zhushi had already healed his injured foot, but his mind was still filled with scenes of Zhu Yousong greeting him face to face and encouraging him to practice hard. He did not expect to put the ability of killing the enemy into practice so soon. Excited, Li Zhushi accurately sent one shell after another into the enemy's formation and exploded.

Although the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were only in their infancy, their power was limited, and from the perspective of the 21st century, they were not even garbage, but at that time they were high-tech and cutting-edge military equipment that was ahead of the trend. Killing long-distance enemies, especially cavalry, and the sound of the cannon will boost the morale of the army and frighten the enemy soldiers. This deterrent effect is more effective than its lethality.

Cai Tingzhen's men and horses were in a mess immediately, those who were killed and injured by the bombing, the men and horses were frightened and ran around, and there were countless people who trampled on each other. The 1 people rushed around like headless flies.

After the artillery rang out, Liu Zhaoji led three thousand cavalry into Cai Tingzhen's chaotic team. Although the three thousand cavalry had just formed combat effectiveness, they were not new recruits, but regrouped from the elite selected from each battalion. During the training period, they were visited by Zhu Yousong in person, which was equivalent to being brainwashed by Zhu Yousong. They swore to kill the enemy and loyal to the emperor was their only belief.

Therefore, the big knives and long spears, the waist knives and the swords all showed their abilities. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, which was decorated with firearms, these long knives and short blades were the ones who really killed the enemy happily. They danced like chopping melons and vegetables, killing heads and blood. Flow into a river.

"Retreat, withdraw quickly!" Cai Tingzhen was quite clever, seeing that the situation was not right, he pulled his horse and ran away after giving such an order.

At this time, the 500-man firearms battalion and the 500-man horse infantry battalion rushed out, and the 1000-man horsemen were all archers and musketeers, shooting while chasing.

Cai Tingzhen couldn't stand the feast of cannons, crossbow arrows and firecrackers at the end. 1 horses were defeated in an instant, and the general officer Cai Tingzhen died in the chaos.

In order to keep the seven and a half catties on their necks, those soldiers who survived by chance ran back desperately, and soon appeared in the sight of Zhu Yousong, Liu Liangzuo and others.

In the eyes of these people, after the sound of the cannon, there was an earth-shattering cry of killing. It was a man and a horse being chased by another man and horse. The scene of two missing legs.

Liu Liangzuo and others were dumbfounded when they saw it clearly, because the one who was chased by the army was his men. "The one with the big banner is undoubtedly his West Route Army.

Liu Liangzuo and his followers were all stunned, how could this happen?Cai Tingzhen's 1 troops will collapse at the first touch, and the opponent only has 5000 troops!
