Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 24 The Fierce Rogue Old Battalion

In the first positional battle, nearly 10,000+ troops of rogue bandits were wiped out, and Zhu Youjian was in a good mood.He also knew that the rogues would not let it go, and that a fierce battle would start at any time, so he told Huang Ming:

"Huang Ming, quickly check the artillery and ammunition to see if supplies are needed, and be ready for shelling at any time."

"Reporting to the emperor, there are enough gunpowder and shells. Brothers have already prepared to fire. Please rest assured, the emperor, we can bombard the army of rogues at any time."

Zhu You checked, and raised the binoculars again, and countless rogue troops suddenly appeared in the camera. The quality of these soldiers was obviously higher than that of the attacking soldiers in front.

Their formation is very neat, they are all holding a shield in one hand and a weapon in the other. They are fully armed with weapons and armor. Most of the previous siege soldiers did not wear armor.

Zhu Youjian didn't see the main force of the rogues appearing for a long time. When he saw these troops, he immediately thought that the elite rogues were going to fight.

"Look, Huang Ming, this should be the true strength of the rogues. The rogues have started their second round of attacks. Immediately get ready for shelling. Once they get within range, I will hit them hard."

"obey"

Huang Ming agreed, picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of the bandit camp.

Sure enough, a large number of rogues flocked to the capital, and immediately ordered the gunners of the [-] artillery pieces to start loading the shells.
Hao Yaoqi took the lead and led the old battalion soldiers to the foot of the capital city. The old battalion soldiers shouted loudly and followed closely behind him, the momentum was quite shocking.

Visually observing that the army of rogues entered the range, Huang Ming shouted:
"Brothers, fire and fire."

"Boom"

As soon as he hit within the range of General Shenwei, there was a sudden sound of shelling from the top of the capital, and the old battalion was instantly knocked down. Hao Yaoqi swung his ax in the air:
"Brothers, raise your shields and charge me. As long as you win the capital, the first merit will be our old battalion. After entering the city, not only the women's money will be ours, but you will also be promoted..."

"Come on"

"kill"

"Break the capital, let the horse go to Nanshan..."

The 10,000+ old battalion infantry raised their shields and urged their horses, completely ignoring the fallen soldiers around them, and rushed to the capital city, leaving Hao Yaoqi behind.

It's not that Hao Yaoqi is not as fast as them. Liu Zongmin has just died in battle, and Hao Yaoqi is not stupid. No matter how powerful and fierce he is, can he compete with the cannon, or command security from the rear.

300 red-clothed cannons bombarded in turn, and the battlefield was full of flames. The old battalion soldiers had high fighting qualities and shields in their hands.

Their experience and combat effectiveness are significantly higher than those of the soldiers in the new barracks, and they constantly change their formation to avoid artillery bombardment.

No matter what formation they adopt, the battlefield is still densely populated, which gives a good opportunity for shelling. Of course, Zhu Youjian will not let them go.

As the artillery shells fell violently, soldiers were constantly bombarded by the artillery fire, and the sky was full of stumps, broken arms, and shield weapons.

There are also many old battalion soldiers whose shields and weapons were blown away, causing secondary damage.

But none of them flinched, and they were still rushing forward desperately, once the old battalion broke through the artillery fire.

Their cavalry will attack with all their strength like a whirlwind, and give the Ming army a fatal blow at the fastest speed.

Zhu Youjian's binoculars have never been put down, he has been paying attention to the main force of the rogues, judging from the current situation, the absolute elite of the rogues still has not appeared.

Seeing the strong combat effectiveness of the old battalion of rogue bandits, Huang Chao walked up to Zhu Youjian and reported:

"Your Majesty, you can see that the combat effectiveness of these rogues is obviously much stronger than that of the previous ones. Although they were killed a lot, their formation is still not too chaotic."

"Well, I've noticed it too. Is it possible to hit the explosive bullets at this distance? Once they enter the range of the explosive bullets, they will be bombarded hard by me."

"As ordered, most of the troops have already entered the firing range of the explosive bombs, and are about to prepare the explosive bombs."

Huang Chao waved the flag in his hand a few times, and the red-clothed cannon was replaced with flowering bullets. There was a violent roar, and the flowering bullets fell on the old battalion soldiers like raindrops.

"Boom"

"Raise your shield quickly..."

Seeing another round of shells falling like raindrops, Hao Yaoqi shouted loudly and ordered his old battalion to resist with shields.
The old battalion moved quickly, raising their shields all at once, most of the explosive bullets landed on the shields, and instantly exploded, sending countless lead bullets and iron sand flying everywhere.

If the shield can block the shells, then the cannon is not called a cannon, let alone a red cannon.

In a burst of intensive shelling, the shield was instantly destroyed, and the second round of shelling came again. Blood and flesh flew across the battlefield, and the old battalion soldiers fell one by one.

Hao Yaoqi was completely dumbfounded, not only his old battalion infantry, but also their cavalry, under the shelling, their horses ran around in fright.

"General, you can't fight like this, let's retreat first."

"Pfft, Sanima, whoever dares to disturb the morale of our army, execute the Fa on the spot, rush out, as long as you advance a certain distance, and meet the Ming dog hand-to-hand, the shelling will definitely stop."

Seeing that his old battalion was almost severely damaged in the shelling, Hao Yaoqi split the soldier just now in half with an axe, raised the ax high and ordered, and rushed quickly.

Under the leadership of Yuan Zongdi, their left-wing cavalry also began to charge. Although the losses were huge, no one chose to retreat in order to break through the capital.

Nearly 20 infantry and cavalry, with the loss of more than [-] people, finally broke through to the front of the Ming army phalanx under the city. At the same time, the shelling at the top of the city also stopped.

"Arrow"

Seeing the square formation of the Ming army on the other side, Hao Yaoqi immediately ordered to release arrows, and the archers of the rogue army immediately took off their bows and arrows, and began to shoot arrows at the positions of Qi Jiguang and others.

Originally, the rogues also had red cannons, but in the first round of attack, the red cannons were all destroyed by Zhu Youjian
Hao Yaoqi gave an order, and in an instant, arrows rained down, and the Ming army's heads were densely packed with arrows coming at high speed, densely packed, like a dark cloud.

The Ming army had already prepared for this. Qi Jiguang waved the command flag in his hand, and the three phalanxes immediately erected shields. The shields could not stop the shells, but there was no problem in preventing bows and arrows.

"Bang bang..."

There was a sound of arrows shooting on the shield, and the rapidly falling arrows were blocked by the shield one after another.

Some arrows that were not blocked by the shield also caused hundreds of casualties to the Ming army.

Seeing that the Ming army erected their shields one after another, feeling that the opportunity was approaching, Hao Yaoqi commanded in one fell swoop:
"The whole army attacked."

Under the command of Hao Yaoqi, hundreds of thousands of infantry and cavalry rushed to the Ming army's position like a tide.

"fire"

However, just as the bandits started to activate, Qi Jiguang gave an order, and the muzzle of a tiger squatting gun was exposed from under the shield, and balls of flames spewed out from the muzzle in an instant.

Under the bombardment of the tiger squatting cannon, the rogues rushing to the front fell down row after row, but those in the back row immediately began to charge.

The eyes of the old rogue battalion were full of anger, without a trace of timidity.

Hao Yaoqi charged forward, while Yuan Zongdi Tian Jianxiu led the cavalry to attack from both sides.
