Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 371 Dimensionality Reduction Strike
Soon, the rebel army approached within twenty paces.

Twenty steps, that is, thirty meters, this distance is already very close.

"First row, let go!" Xu Yingwei's waist knife fell down again.

Yan Yingyuan and other nine scholars also gave orders to their subordinates.

The next moment, Xu Wuniu and other 900 soldiers stood up at the same time, then put the flintlock on the wall of the car, aimed at the disorderly army outside and pulled the trigger.

Accompanied by the intensive sound of firing guns, more than 700 lead bullets whizzed forward.

Not all flintlock guns are capable of firing, and there are always malfunctions.

However, the fire rate of nearly [-]% is already extremely good. Compared with matchlock guns such as bird guns and Lumi guns, it is almost a dimensionality reduction strike.

The gunshot rang out, and the Chaos Saber players who were twenty steps ahead fell to the ground one after another.

In a row of more than [-] knives and poker players, almost none of them could stand still. The thick wooden plaques could not even hold the blunderbuss produced by the Daming Military Bureau, let alone the flintlock guns produced by the Daming Arsenal. .

The chaotic guerrilla who rushed to the front was so lucky that he didn't die.

Seeing that the Ming army killed and wounded more than [-] people on their side with just one round of shooting, the guerrilla army was shocked and angry.

This chaotic guerrilla is a bit courageous. It can be seen that the firearms of the Ming army are extremely sharp, so they must be posted as soon as possible to start close combat. Otherwise, none of the more than [-] of them will survive.

At that moment, the rebel guerrillas raised their sabers and roared: "Rush forward at full speed, charge at full speed, charge up, all charge with me, charge up..."

Hearing the guerrilla roar of the chaotic army, the six rows of spearmen who were walking in the back instantly accelerated, overtook the musketeers and charged forward at full speed, trying to get close to the chariot formation and start a melee battle with the Ming army.

Unfortunately this is just their wishful thinking.

Before they could rush forward a few steps, the second row of Ming army musketeers replaced behind the vehicle wall.

Immediately there was another continuous sound of firing guns, and another row of dense rain of bullets poured over. More than half of the first row of spearmen rushing to the front fell instantly, and the rest also fell after running a few steps.

And this time, the rebel guerrilla was not spared.

At least two buckshot hit him at the same time, one of which hit him in the neck.

The rebellious army guerrilla threw away the saber, and slowly fell to the ground clutching his neck. The bright red blood soon overflowed from between his fingers, and his whole body was only left with constant twitching.

Seeing this, the following rows of spearmen panicked.

This lethality is too scary, what kind of gun is this from the Ming army?

How can the penetrating power be so strong?Also, how could the Ming army musketeers get so close?

Subconsciously, the spearmen who followed up slowed down one after another. The firecrackers of the Ming army were too scary, not to mention that the leading guerrillas were also killed, so it was necessary to charge forward?

At this moment, another row of Ming army musketeers replaced them.

After another loud bang, another row of spearmen fell to the ground, howling.

Seeing this, the remaining three rows of spearmen finally got scared, turned around and ran back.

As soon as the spearman ran, the three rows of musketeers who stopped behind immediately turned around and ran back.

In this way, the first attack of the rebel army was easily disintegrated. The casualties of the rebel army were at least [-] people, at least half of them were killed, and the rest lay helplessly in front of the position.

However, the Ming army had zero casualties. This is a dimensionality reduction strike.

Revolutionary firearms and subversive combat concepts,
Putting it all together is the effect.

……

Seeing the retreat of the rebellious army, Hu Guozhu once again asked Chongzhen to fight: "My lord, driving the cavalry to pursue at this time will surely smash the rebellious army's formation directly."

After all, it was Hu Guozhu, who fought with his father since he was seventeen.

So at a glance, it can be seen that now is an excellent opportunity to fight. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the rout of the chaotic army to flee back, drive the cavalry to follow and cover up the past. Running back, at this time, there is a high probability that the chaos army's formation will be disrupted.

The chaos of the chaos is over.

After all, it is not a highly organized army.

"No need." Chongzhen refused to pursue.

Because Chongzhen's purpose was not to defeat the rebellious army, but to make a forced landing.

Again, Daming is now on the eve of great industrial development, and the most urgent need is labor.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not drive out these hundreds of thousands of rebellious troops, but as long as there is a slight possibility, he will do his best to force them to land these rebellious troops.

Hu Guozhu couldn't help being a little disappointed, but he didn't say much.

Chongzhen didn't explain too much, as an emperor and a superior, he couldn't explain it.

If you have to explain everything to your courtiers, then he doesn't have to do anything.

Chongzhen raised his binoculars again, but his field of vision turned to the direction of Wuchang City, and said leisurely: "Calculating the time, the army blocking Yinxi should have crossed the Yangtze River, right?"

Gao Qiqian immediately reported: "Long Live Lord, Lord Du sent flying cavalry to report three hours ago, saying that he was crossing the river with the assistance of the navy, so it is probably already crossing the river now."

"Just cross the river." Chongzhen put down the binoculars, and said to Hu Guozhu, "Hu Qing, get ready, as long as the news of blocking Yinxi's army crossing the river reaches the opposite side, the rebellious army will definitely fall apart. At this time, we will look at the cavalry battalion. There is also Yi Ding, and I only have one request, not to let go of a single person, let alone a single horse!"

"Yes!" Hu Guozhu said loudly, "Cavalry Battalion, Yi Ding is ready!"

The cavalry and Yi Ding who received the order began to check their equipment one after another.

Some cavalry even ignited the fire rope in advance and wrapped it around the armguard.

……

Du Yinxi's [-] town soldiers were divided into two places to cross the river.

One is Jinsha Town and the other is Yangluo Town, which are respectively located in the upstream and downstream of Wuchang.

After crossing the Yangtze River, Du Yinxi immediately ordered the whole army to form a formation and encircle Wuchang from the northeast and southwest. Rendezvous, and then complete the encirclement of the chaos.

At this time, Du Yinxi was leading [-] town soldiers to push forward all over the mountains and plains.

Due to the dense water network in Wuchang Prefecture, the marching column was fragmented by the terrain, but the entire team stretched from west to east for more than ten miles, which was still very spectacular.

Yang Ponu has already put on two sets of armor and mounted a mule.

Wang Laoshi and other town soldiers also rode their own animals one after another, mostly donkeys. Looking from a distance, they could only see a huge donkey cavalry marching forward all over the mountains and plains.

……

More than a dozen deputy generals of the rebellious army have already fried the pot.

Because the scout cavalry that had been scattered had discovered Du Yinxi's north and south armies.

Knowing that two large armies were rushing towards them from the northeast and southwest, the dozen or so lieutenants of the general army immediately panicked and lost their minds for a while.

Some said to stay in the decisive battle, and some said to split up and break through.

Some also said that they could just surrender, and they might be able to save their lives.

After all, Chongzhen has become much more benevolent since he became enlightened in Meishan. The leader of the Donglin Party committed the crime of regicide, and Chongzhen only killed the chief culprit, not even his family members.

Therefore, they may not have no chance of survival.

More than a dozen lieutenants of the general army quarreled in a group, and it took a long time to reach a unity.

Xu Yong couldn't hold back, these scumbags, I'm so blind to join you in making a mutiny, a bunch of idiots who failed to accomplish anything but failed.

At that moment, Xu Yong clicked on his own trilogy and went to the south by himself.

It didn't matter that Xu Yong left, an avalanche effect immediately formed.

As a result, more than a dozen lieutenants of the general army took their own parts and fled separately.

However, the Ming army cavalry on the opposite side was waiting for this moment. Seeing the chaos army fleeing separately, the Ming army cavalry immediately launched a massive attack, chasing and killing the chaos army.

At the beginning, the rebellious army wanted to resist.

But when the first wave of rebels who tried to resist were beheaded, the rest of the rebels collapsed.

In a blink of an eye, the rebellious army was defeated like a mountain, throwing away everything that could be thrown away, and only cared about running for their lives. Those who had horses ran on horses, and those without horses could only rely on two legs.

All of a sudden, the mountains and plains were full of routs.

But at this time, the trumpets and drums sounded simultaneously from the northeast and southwest.

Du Yinxi's [-] town soldiers rushed to the battlefield, and opened up a huge encirclement circle dozens of miles long. Facing the menacing town soldiers who rushed over, the rebellious soldiers did not dare to fight.

As soon as they met each other, the rebels ran back in a panic.

Because tens of thousands of "cavalry" came forward, this scene was really scary.

In the end, they ran towards the east like a swarm, preparing to break out from Hu Guozhu's position.

Obviously, the rebels took the cavalry led by Hu Guozhu as a soft persimmon, after all, there were only three or four thousand cavalry.

However, there were tens of thousands of "Ming Army Cavalry" pounced from the other two directions, which was too much.

This time it was a big mistake. Although the cavalry led by Hu Guozhu was small, they were real cavalry.

The result can be imagined, just a wave of charge, more than half of the seven or eight thousand rebellious cavalry who took the lead in the battle were lost, and less than one thousand cavalry passed by and rushed towards Xingguo Prefecture in the southeast.

Hu Guozhu immediately ordered Wu Batan to lead Yi Ding to pursue, while he led the cavalry battalion to drive back the rebel army.

In the end, the encirclement circle of [-] town soldiers and cavalry shrank smaller and smaller, and the rebel army who was completely surrounded finally had no way to escape, and finally could only kneel on the ground and beg for surrender.

A small number of rebels resisted stubbornly and were soon beheaded.

After all, before the rout just now, these chaotic troops had already discarded their armor and armor.

More than two hours later, the eight hundred barbarians who were chasing them also returned one after another, each of them brought one or several heads, and reported to Tan that less than ten of the rebels escaped by chance.

Chongzhen estimated that those rebels were also from Liaodong Town.

However, it doesn't matter if a few rebels escape.

At this time, Zuo Menggeng and Jin Shenghuan had already identified more than a dozen generals and lieutenants including Lieutenant General Lu Guangzu, Li Guoying, Zhang Yingxiang, Xu Ensheng, Wu Xueli, and Xu Yuxian.
