Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 25
Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting saw that Qi's army was struggling, so they hurriedly ordered the artillery fire of their two phalanxes, and began to cooperate with Qi Jiguang to bombard them in turn.

The muzzles of rows of flintlock guns were also aimed at these cavalry at the same time.The flintlocks fired as soon as they broke through the barrage of artillery fire.

Standing at the top of the city, Zhu Youjian saw the ferocity of the old battalion of rogues, and he couldn't help but doubt the history.

The army of rogues is definitely not as vulnerable as described in history. How could Dorgon defeat such an army so easily? There must be a problem within the rogues.

In fact, after the rogue bandits entered the capital, they would eat, drink, burn, kill, rob, and enjoy everything. They thought that they could release Nanshan immediately and put their swords and guns into storage.

Li Zicheng never had the ambition to unify the whole country. A few provinces were enough for him. After the goal was achieved, the rogues became the masters.

They are all enjoying themselves, no one is willing to work hard, and no one wants to fall into the darkness before dawn. Coupled with the raging plague, this should be the reason why the elite rogues lost their fighting power.

Rogue Barracks
At this time, Li Zicheng was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army full of confidence. If he said that he could not win the capital with all his best, even if he was killed, he would not believe it.

"Report to Your Majesty, Minggou's artillery fire was fierce, and our army suffered heavy casualties. After losing tens of thousands of horses, the two armies of General Hao Yaoqi and General Yuan Zongdi are about to meet Minggou head-to-head."

Suddenly the Chinese army came to report that the armies of the two sides would soon be fighting hand to hand. Li Zicheng slammed the table, got up and ordered:

"Send the order that all infantry and cavalry elites start to attack, and at the same time send a signal to let the people in the city start their actions."

"obey"

A loud arrow shot into the air, sending an attack signal to the capital, and [-] elite infantry and cavalry of the rogue bandits were dispatched.

At this time, Yuan Zongdi Tian Jianxiu's cavalry launched an attack from both wings, and was also attacked by two Ming troops, Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting.

"Bang bang..."

A burst of flintlock guns made a loud bang, and a barrier of bullets and bullets was built in front of the veteran battalion of rogue bandits.

Facing the rapid fire of the Ming army, although the rogue cavalry was fast, they were still unable to break through the Ming army's defense line.

Zhu Youjian held a telescope in his hand and kept observing the movement of the camp of rogues. As for the hundreds of thousands of Hao Yaoqi under the city, he believed that Qi Jiguang and others could deal with it.

Suddenly, in his camera, an army of rogues appeared all over the mountains and plains again. Judging from their equipment, it was definitely the elite rogues who were dispatched.

"Huang Ming, the artillery is ready, the rogue's hole card is shown, and I will beat you hard."

"obey"

Huang Ming agreed, and waved the flag in his hand:
"All preparations."

"fire"

"Boom"

As soon as the elite rogues entered the range, the artillery army in red began to roar. No matter how powerful an elite you are, you are still human. Under the cover of huge artillery fire, you cannot avoid casualties.

It's just that the speed of the elite is faster, even though the gunfire explodes around them, their formation is not chaotic, and they still advance quickly.

Li Zicheng fought all the way to the capital city. The Ming army either surrendered or fled. This also made Li Zicheng inflated. He didn't pay attention to the capital at all.

Attacking the capital is a death order. Anyone who dares to retreat will be beheaded. Li Guo commanded 15 elite cavalry to attack with fierce artillery fire.

In half a stick of incense time, the shelling of the Ming army caused a large number of casualties among the elite rogues, but the elite rogues had already broken through the shelling above the city.

Facing the fierce guns, the old battalion soldiers in front gradually couldn't resist, and were repelled by tiger squatting guns and flintlock guns.

The originally neat lineup of elite rogues was suddenly disrupted by his old battalion soldiers. Hao Yaoqi Tian Zaixiu and the supervising team killed dozens of people in succession, and the old battalion gradually stabilized their position.

Now is the best time for shelling, but all the artillery is overheated due to the intensive shelling, and can no longer be used in a short time.

In fact, this is also due to Zhu Youjian's lack of combat experience. He wanted to exchange for new artillery, because the old artillery occupied the fort and it was too late.

As soon as the shelling stopped, the old battalion of rogue bandits and elite troops launched a tidal charge.

Fortunately, there were no problems with the artillery of the three phalanxes. The tiger squatting artillery continued to bombard the rogues. Although the rogues fell in pieces, they were numerous after all.

Soon the cavalry broke through the bombardment of the tiger squatting guns and approached the artillery positions.

Qi Jiguang and others were not nervous in the face of the charge of the rogue army. They waved the flag and fired flintlock guns in turn.

Faced with such a dense hail of bullets, neither the old battalion soldiers nor the elite rogues could rush to the front of the Ming army in a short time.

Hao Yaoqi was about to explode in anger, and ordered two hundred soldiers to start cursing. The general meaning was that Minggou was timid and afraid of death, and did not dare to fight with them.

Qi Jiguang, Sun Chengzong, and Sun Chuanting, the three commanders at the level of the military gods of the Ming Dynasty, all secretly laughed when they saw the rogue bandits' frantic look.

Daming was originally an army that was good at firearms. Unless he was stupid, he would have firearms and not have to fight bayonets.

Li Guo realized something was wrong at this time. The firearms of the Ming army were not Vulcan guns at all. He didn't see a single person lighting the fire, so he shouted to Yuan Zongdi and Hao Yaoqi:
"Two generals, please pay attention, this is not the original firearm of the Ming army at all. They did not use matchlock to ignite the fire at all. Not only the firing rate is faster, but the bullets are also denser."

Hao Yaoqi had noticed something was wrong a long time ago. He fought against the Ming army many times. At that time, the Ming army did not have such fighting power at all.

Every time as long as the cavalry rushed to their formation, the firearms soldiers of the Ming Dynasty immediately fell into chaos.

But the current Ming army, with firearms in hand, has a very firm gaze. Facing the invading army several times their size, there is almost no fluctuation in the slightest, and they still fire their firearms calmly.

Seeing the soldiers under his command constantly falling down, the faces of Yuan Zongdi and others became more and more ugly.

He couldn't figure out which army such a powerful Ming army came from, he had never seen it before.

Among the three, Li Guo has the best brain, and he is the nephew and godson of King Chuang. Both Hao Yaoqi and Yuan Zongdi looked at him:

"General Li, if we don't win the capital today, we will definitely not be able to explain to King Chuang. In your opinion, how can we take advantage of the number of people to defeat them?"

Li Guo pondered for a while and said:
"Two generals, in my opinion, you can't fight so hard. You see, there are too many casualties now. Why don't we divide our troops into three groups, with the infantry charging in the middle and the cavalry charging on both sides."

"However, we have already tried it just now, and we can't break through the firearms of the Ming army at all. Why don't we try again."

Hao Yaoqi and Yuan Zongdi had already suffered a loss just now, but they had no choice but to nod their heads. They all knew that there were still [-] elite cavalry who had not launched an attack.

Li Guo raised his bow and set an arrow, and a loud arrow shot into the sky. Seeing the signal, Tian Jianxiu immediately ordered the elite cavalry to charge from the left flank.
