Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 478 The Battle of Yuanwu (5)

There are both advantages and disadvantages for new recruits to come to such a large battlefield for the first time.The advantage is that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but the disadvantage is that the recruits who have just entered the battle have no combat experience and rely entirely on vigor.

In the blink of an eye, [-] recruits and the two teams of Liu Fangliang and Li Guo rushed to the same place.As far as the number of troops is concerned, the two sides are roughly equal.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the recruits of the Ming army who had just trained for half a year went to the battlefield for the first time, of course they were not as good as the two elite divisions of the Dashun army.

But these two teams have been fighting for a while. Although the Ming army on the two wings was defeated, it still consumed a considerable amount of strength of the Dashun army.

In this way, tens of 10 horses were killed, and the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, corpses were scattered all over the field, and blood flowed like rivers.

Li Zicheng saw it, when will this kill?At this time, his general Yuan Zongdi was carried back, with a spiked arrow sticking out of his back, dying.

Li Zicheng hurriedly ordered a military doctor to treat him. Yuan Zongdi had just been driven away. Someone came to report that Hao Yaoqi had died in battle!

Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find, and two generals are lost in a row, and these two generals are Li Zicheng's right-hand men, especially Hao Yaoqi, whose real name is Hao Dayong. This is a member of the Old Eighth Squad. He used to be a subordinate of Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, and later he followed Li Zicheng. He fought here and there for more than ten years, and made great achievements in battle, but he died here today.

Knowing that Hao Yaoqi had died in the hands of a young general of the Ming army, his flesh was badly chopped up, and he was no longer human, Li Zicheng was furious.

"Avenge Hao Yaoqi and Yuan Zongdi and other dead and injured brothers, kill—"

Li Zicheng's tiger eyes spewed fire, he kicked the flying tiger toad with his feet, sat down and the yellow pussy horse sprang out, like an arrow, charging towards the Ming army.

Li Zicheng personally charged into the battle, this formation is not ordinary.His guard captain Shuangxi followed closely with thousands of armored warriors, and the accompanying general Tian Jianxiu led three thousand cavalry.

Li Zicheng is now the emperor anyway, there are [-] people from the imperial camp accompanying him, and now he has personally charged into the battle, and these [-] soldiers followed closely.

Both the Dashun Army and the Daming Army have invested more than 4000 horses, and the two sides are killing evenly matched.Li Zicheng came suddenly with more than [-] people, and the morale of the soldiers of the Dashun Army immediately rose.Is there anything better to boost the morale of a general than His Majesty the Emperor personally charging into battle?

Especially the big sword in Li Zicheng's hand, there are 36 ways in total. This is the sword technique that he has summed up and explored during more than ten years of fighting. No one can escape from his sword, and his sword technique is called "Chuang Wang Dao.

Now the Chuangwang Knife is showing its power. This big knife is like a small door leaf. The head is three feet five inches long, the blade is five to six inches wide, and the back is two inches thick. The long and thick blade is about the size of a child's arm. , the entire broadsword with a handle on the head has a total length of one foot, two feet and five inches, and a total weight of 65 catties.

Li Zicheng turned the big knife round, and disappeared like ghosts and ghosts, flying sand and walking stones.Wherever the sword and horse went, flesh and blood of Ming army soldiers flew everywhere, and dead bodies rolled over. Some people and horses were split into two pieces on the spot, and some heads were chopped off.

Charged to Li Zicheng's left and right were Shuangxi and Tian Jianxiu.

Shuangxi is the captain of Li Zicheng's guard. He has followed Li Zicheng for more than ten years. From a child soldier at the beginning, he has grown into a young man in his 20s. His years of experience have made him very brave in fighting the enemy.

Even though Li Zicheng is now the emperor of the Dashun Kingdom, when he went to fight on the battlefield, he still brought the bodyguard team of Double Happiness with him.

Tian Jianxiu, who is brave and resourceful, has a gentle personality, but charging into battle is also the role of the brave champion of the three armies. These two strong generals are on the left and right sides of Li Zicheng.

Only the corpses were scattered all over the field, and the heads were rolling.

Li Zicheng was having a good time killing, when suddenly, a volley of guns rang out,
"Pa, pa, pa..." The flintlock guns sounded like popping beans, and the number was almost indistinguishable, and puffs of blue smoke dissipated with the wind.

The soldiers around Li Zicheng fell down in rows and groups.

Soon, Li Zicheng's spears and horses were exposed to the guns. At this time, countless soldiers rushed over desperately, three layers inside and three layers outside, standing in front of Li Zicheng's horses. On a batch.

Li Zicheng saw that the firepower of the Dashun army was too fierce, and his soldiers suffered heavy casualties, so he quickly ordered to retreat.

At this time, the gunfire stopped, and a bay red horse stood out, like a red lightning, and went straight to Li Zicheng. The man on the horse was holding a big sword, and it was Zhu Yousong, the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

It turned out that Li Zicheng couldn't hold back, and finally went out in person, and Zhu Yousong no longer commanded on the high slope. He knew that it was time for him to go out in person.

With the horse clamped between the legs, the lamp of a thousand miles, like a red lightning bolt, stepped out of the air.

Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao, Huimei and Xiao Liushi who were escorting behind them all followed the flying horse.Behind them are Li Quan, Liu Chunhong, Huiying and Zhang Nai, and behind them are a group of armored warriors and Jinyi guards. There are also more than 1000 horses, including 1000 flintlock gunners, and more than [-] horses. Li Zicheng's horse's head came straight in.

The Musketeer Battalion is a branch of the Imperial Battalion. It still has 500 people, but it used to be a mixed formation of infantry and cavalry. Now it is all cavalry and equipped with all flintlock guns. Five hundred guns are always around Zhu Yousong.

The Musket Battalion, also known as the Light Firearms Battalion, is of course compared to the Heavy Firearms Battalion, which is the heavy firearms battalion equipped with red cannons.

The current commander of the Musket Battalion is Zhao Fu, who was born as a Wu Jinshi last year.

As soon as Zhao Fu saw that it was within range, he decisively ordered to fire.Five hundred gunmen fired together, and the power was not small. The men and horses of the Dashun Army were shot on the spot and countless people were shot.

Li Zicheng, take a look, this thing is much more powerful than bows and arrows. Although it is not as good as the red cannon, but when it smokes, people will fall down.

Li Zicheng could not let others block the gun for him, nor could he watch his soldiers fall needlessly under the gun, so he temporarily ordered to retreat.

The gunfire stopped, and Zhu Yousong rushed over with himself.

"Protect Your Majesty, release the arrows!" Shuangxi gave an order, and hundreds of archers shot arrows at Zhu Yousong's men.

The arrows were like locusts, and countless soldiers of the Ming army who followed Zhu Yousong's charge were shot and fell off their horses.

Zhu Yousong danced the sword in his hand and charged against the rain of arrows. Arcs of sword light flickered around Zhu Yousong's men and horses, and the arrows shot to the ground one after another.

Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao, Huimei, Xiao Liushi, Li Quan, Liu Chunhong, Huiying and Zhang Nai followed Zhu Yousong to charge left and right.

Zhu Yousong's horse was fast, he threw the horses behind him far away, and rushed into the Dashun army. There was a burst of killing and slashing, blood and flesh spattered, knives and guns flew wildly, and he was in front of Li Zicheng in the blink of an eye.

"Stop burglars, watch the sword!"
