Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 139 The Rebellion
In order to move these Hongyi cannons to the north city wall, he mobilized hundreds of people and spent a whole day.

In the end, instead of fighting with the Tartars outside the northern city wall, some rebels came from the south instead?
Poof!

Shen Chen almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

At this time, the treasurer of the caravan in the city was called.

Wang Chengyun explained the whole story clearly to Shenqi and Wang Kun.

"It's the Qiangdi Army! Absolutely right! This flag is the flag of the Qiangdi Army. But why the Qiangdi Army attacked Chaigou Fort, I don't know."

The shopkeeper of the caravan glanced down from the city wall, and immediately said with certainty.

"Reverse! This Zhao Cheng! Really reversed! How dare he let the powerful army attack us?"

Wang Kun's voice was sharp, and he walked back and forth in the observation deck.

His lungs are really going to explode!

If the mutiny among his subordinates cannot be suppressed and Chaigou Fort is lost, he, the surveillance officer, may not be able to survive.

Lord Chongzhen's temper is notoriously irritable!

For those who lost their cities and lands, and their soldiers and horses were completely defeated, they would kill them as soon as they said they wanted to, and they would never be soft-hearted.

Even though he is an eunuch and His Majesty's domestic slave, he might have a better chance of surviving than Shen Chi.

But even if he saves a dog's life, he will have to be dispatched to Liudu afterwards, and he may never have a chance to stand up again in this lifetime.

"Shen Chi! Wang Chengyun! What's the matter with you two? It's fine if you can't beat the Tartars, but you can't even beat the rebels? Look outside, there are only more than 1000 people!

Send out all the servants under your command to suppress the rebellion!Counterinsurgency! "

Wang Kun's sharp voice was very harsh.

"Yes! Put down the rebellion! Wang Chengyun, hurry up, send your servants to put down the rebellion!"

Shen Chi growled.

Wang Chengyun could only agree, and secretly screamed bad luck in his heart.

No matter how unwilling he is, he can only dispatch his servants at this time.

Because of the confrontation with the Tartars, almost all the elites of Xuanfu Town gathered in Chaigoubao, but there was no shortage of manpower.

Wang Chengyun quickly gathered two thousand elites, covered the city with bows and arrows, opened the city gate, and went out to fight.

The moment the city gate opened and two thousand cavalry galloped out, the Huai'an army was restless.

The Huai'an army are all ordinary guard soldiers. They usually don't even have enough to eat. How can they have the courage to fight in the field?

Seeing the powerful servants coming out of the city, which were much larger than their number, they were all scared.

"Everyone, dismount! Free fire!"

Qiangdi's army was not in a hurry, and Niu Dali even gave an order.

All strong land troops dismounted.

Shooting in situ is much more accurate than shooting on horseback.

crackle crackle!

Gunshots sounded like firecrackers.

As soon as Wang Chengyun's servants rushed out, people began to fall.

"Damn!"

Wang Chengyun cursed loudly.

Six or seven or eight steps away!
These 2000 people are all the elite of his subordinates, all of them are in leather armor, and even some of their confidants are wearing double-layer armor.

At a distance of six or seven hundred steps, it was pierced by lead?

Double-layer battle armor can be worn through... Isn't this too outrageous?

"kill!"

This group of servants is really daring to fight and rush, and if the critical moment comes, they even dare to fight against a comparable number of Tartars.

Now, although some of their companions fell off their horses, they didn't hesitate at all, instead they beat their horses and rushed forward at a faster speed.

They have very rich combat experience, and they know that they must not have any hesitation when facing the firecrackers.

The biggest disadvantage of the firecracker is that it is complicated to load.

As long as they survived a wave and rushed over, those gunfire soldiers could only let them slaughter, and the victory on this battlefield was theirs.

The horseshoes trampled, the ground trembled, and two thousand horsemen charged at the same time, with a magnificent momentum.

Zhao Cheng watched from a distance, and the blood in his heart also boiled.

This is the real cavalry of this era!

Facing this kind of real cavalry, with his current firepower, he didn't dare to get close to fight, it would cause big trouble.

Fortunately, the difference in strength between the two sides is not too great.

Five hundred versus two thousand!
Moreover, the cavalry on the opposite side obviously didn't understand the power of the Minie rifle at all, so they charged without making any preparations.

Five hundred steps...

Four hundred steps...

As the distance got closer, the hit rate of the Minie rifle also began to get higher and higher.

Three hundred steps...

Crackling gunshots, like popping beans, sounded one after another.

Horsemen on horseback fell like mowing grass.

At this point, some people have already begun to waver.

The bullets whistled and flew by the ears, and from time to time, some companions were hit, and immediately fell off the horse and screamed.

And the war horse was hit, rolled over and fell down.

two hundred steps...

This kind of dimensionality reduction blow, the death rate is absolutely extremely high.

In the real battlefield in history, tens of thousands of bullets can kill an enemy in the era of rifled guns.

Those who kill an enemy with a single shot are all divine dramas.

But that is the case with similar equipment.

Rifled gun battles often involve digging trenches and lying down to shoot. It is very difficult to kill the enemy.

Now it's dimensionality reduction strike.

The cavalry on the opposite side had no experience in fighting with rifles at all.

At two hundred paces, the casualties had reached 400.

2000 people, three to 400 casualties, and a battle loss rate of nearly 20.00%.

For this frontier army whose fighting will is not too strong, it is obviously beyond their psychological tolerance.

Especially Wang Chengyun, who took the lead, a trusted servant next to him happened to be shot in the face and died suddenly on the spot.

His legs were so frightened that his crotch was wet.

With a single retreat, he took the lead and turned around and ran.

crackle crackle!

The Qiangdi Army took the opportunity to shoot bullets, leaving hundreds of corpses behind.

Zhao Cheng let out a slight breath.

Without heavy machine guns, it is actually very dangerous for infantry to face the charge of cavalry.

If it is a cavalry with rich combat experience and strong fighting will, it is likely to overwhelm their battle formation.

Once the cavalry rushed over, it would be a one-sided massacre.

Fortunately, these Ming troops lacked the will to fight. They often lost battles and ran away when encountering difficult bones. This is their "excellent tradition".

If it was a city defense battle, they might still be desperate.

Now it's a field battle, and they can run at any time... How can they be desperate?

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Looking at the fleeing cavalry, the strong sergeant roared excitedly.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Those Huai'an soldiers also roared.

The menacing brigade of cavalry was defeated like this?
"waste!"

"What a waste!"

"With 2000 people, you can't beat 500 people! You have the face to say that these are all your elite servants!"

On the city wall, Wang Kun jumped up and down and cursed.

He could clearly see the whole process of Wang Chengyun's defeat.

They were crushed before they even rushed forward.

Wang Chengyun's face was extremely ugly.

Those who lost this time are all his most elite servants!

Each of them was cultivated by him with his own money, food and hard work.

Even the painstaking efforts of several generations in their family.
