Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 84
"Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, today is the day to avenge the 230 comrades who died, and we have to express the anger of being besieged in the city for many days. How long has it been since our Daming was besieged in the city?"

"Revenge, revenge."

"Did you see the big flag in the distance? Let's scare the opponent today, and if we are defeated, we must never give the opponent another chance." Xu Da raised his knife in front of the army and shouted angrily.

"Da Ming will win." Xu Da continued to shout angrily.

"Da Ming will win!"

"Da Ming will win!"

The soldiers of the whole army began to shout, and the momentum was so loud that even Li Zicheng's Dashun Army could faintly hear the angry shouts of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the high morale of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and their fighting spirit, Li Zicheng's army, except for the relatively intact cavalry, the other troops seemed to be in a mess.

Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Gu Kecheng and others gathered their troops in one place at this moment, preparing to fight to the death with the soldiers in the city. The banners of five battalions and five colors, black, yellow, white, red, and cyan, were fluttering in the wind.

Li Zicheng and others knew that the opponent's artillery was very powerful, but they had always been in siege battles before. Although they were at a disadvantage, it was because the enemy had a good location and did not fight head-on. Not to mention Li Zicheng, the generals of the other battalions I don't want to either.

Since their uprising, the journey has been smooth and smooth. When did they experience such a big defeat? A whole four battalions of soldiers were maimed, let alone how many deserted soldiers. Before, the hundreds of thousands of troops who claimed to be hundreds of thousands, after this battle , 10 people can't make it out.

When it comes to fighting soldiers, I am afraid that it is a question of whether [-] can be made up.

Li Zicheng and others are well aware of this situation, but they believe that even if there are only [-] people, they can defeat the enemy in a head-to-head battle, thereby reversing the disadvantage.

Although they suffered heavy losses in Dashun yesterday, the defenders of the city were not feeling well. He, Li Zicheng, couldn't believe it. After these days of consumption, is it possible that the city can still draw tens of thousands of troops for him?

As for the defeat of the battalions yesterday, it was because of the cavalry. Dashun did not send cavalry to support it in time yesterday, which led to the opponent's cavalry going wild. It is free to come and go on the battlefield as if it were yesterday, and dominates the roost.

As time went by, the sun was getting higher and higher, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. All the soldiers on Li Zicheng's side were on board. Not only Li Zicheng bet everything, but even Liu Zongmin and others did not hold back this time.

Daming's side is full of famous generals, Xu Da, Wu Liang, Lu Zhongheng, Guo Ying, Guo Xing, all of them are celebrities and historical figures.

As for the cavalry led by Chang Yuchun, they were on the flanks to prevent the opposing cavalry from charging.

And the place where the decisive battle took place was the area to the west of the Daming capital, which was already close to Shijingshan.

And to the west is Datong Mansion, and the direction there is Baoding Mansion. These two places are the escape routes Li Zicheng left for himself. If this battle is defeated and he can escape to the west, he can go back to Shaanxi through Datong. You can also go south to Baoding, and then look for other escape routes.

Although Li Zicheng didn't think he would be defeated, he still left himself a way to survive in case of accidents.

"fire!"

"Boom~" "Boom~"

Daming's Great General Cannon showed off its power again.

And Li Zicheng's camp has gradually become familiar with bombardment these days. As soon as the Daming artillery fired, Li Zicheng ordered the army to charge.

As long as you cross this bombing zone, it's time for the real bayonet fight.

Li Zicheng's army launched a charge, but Daming's side maintained its formation without haste, and headed towards Li Zicheng's army. The three horizontal rows of fusiliers were leading the way.

Naturally, the artillery in the rear could not continue to advance at this time, so they could only stop in place and continuously bombard Li Zicheng's army.

As the two armies get closer, the role of the General Cannon becomes less and less, and because the General Cannon is too large and heavy, it is okay to be transported on the cement road. After heavy rain and rain, the ground is like a swamp, and it is already very troublesome to pull the General Cannon here.

"Come on, brothers, the artillery on the opposite side can't hit us anymore." Liu Zongmin and Gu Kecheng both took the lead in charging towards the Ming army on the opposite side, and the morale of the invading army rose visible to the naked eye.

Two hundred feet, one hundred feet, fifty feet, Liu Zongmin's eyes became more and more excited. Although he had already seen the musketeers at the front, Liu Zongmin didn't take it seriously. Doesn't he know the power of muskets?
It's useless at all, and it's probably only one round. In the second round, they will rush in front of these people and easily eliminate these musketeers.

The main reason was that he was so impressed by the siege general's cannon and Daming's grenade before, that he didn't pay attention to it, and there were not a few people who were killed by Daming's flintlock.

"When the enemy is close to thirty feet, the first row shoots. After the second row is over, the second row is over, and the third row is on top. Follow the training and don't panic." The general who led the fusiliers team was methodical. arranged.

They had been training in this shooting method for a long time before, and even Zhu Biao once arranged with Tang He for cavalry training to charge these people in order to train their calmness in battle.

When I saw the cavalry charge at the beginning, they all ran away without saying a U-turn, which was similar, until the number of trainings increased, and the situation improved.

But now that the enemy infantry has launched an attack, these trained fusiliers are not panicked at all. They are used to cavalry charging, so are you afraid that your infantry will fail?

"shooting!"

As soon as the enemy entered a distance of thirty feet, the first wave of fusiliers opened fire.

Liu Zongmin, Gu Kecheng and others saw their eyes raised, not only did they not have fear, but they were full of cruelty.

Even if they did not resist, the buckshot from the muskets could not break their armor, and if they were given a little time, they could rush into the crowd and kill.

However, as soon as he put on a grim smile, Da Ming fired the second round of gunfire.

Just when Liu Zongmin didn't care, one after another the Chuangjun was hit, and those who were hit, no matter whether they hit the vital point or not, all fell to the ground.

Blood holes appeared on the bodies of the soldiers without armor, and the charging of the generals with armor also slowed down.

"Bang~"

The soldiers of Ming Dynasty did not give them time to react, the third round of shooting came again, and more people fell down.

Liu Zongmin and the others looked at each other, it's not just the powerful artillery, even the muskets are so powerful, the other party doesn't talk about martial arts, and deceives us.

But already in this situation, how could they stop?I could only bite the bullet and rush forward, praying in my heart that the gunshots would stop ringing.

Unfortunately, God was not on his side this time.

The soldiers who fired in the first round had already completed cleaning and loading.

"Boom~" The flintlock gun resounded on the battlefield again.

"Made, they fired too fast." Liu Zongmin cursed secretly.

You must know that this time, Xu Da arranged for a total of [-] fusiliers to be at the forefront, and the three groups were rotated.

Of course, if Li Zicheng dispatched the cavalry immediately, the situation would be difficult to predict. No matter how fast the reloading speed was, the front-loading gun would not be as fast as the cavalry charging.

But didn't Li Zicheng not arrange his own cavalry on the front line?Now Li Zicheng's cavalry is still guarding against the Ming cavalry.

As time went by, more and more soldiers from the Chuangjun had rushed over, and several generals even led the masters of the personal guards into the enemy camp.

The fusiliers also retreated to the rear under Xu Da's order, letting the infantry stand on top, and then the fusiliers assisted the infantry in the rear to kill the soldiers who broke into the army, giving priority to killing the enemy general and the guards led by him.

Masters are just masters, they are human beings, not gods, they will also get tired, and their physical strength will also decline. After all, this battlefield is still a battlefield for ordinary people.

Do you know what most of these people who followed Li Zicheng's rebellion were for?

Most of them just want to have a full meal.

However, these people can't get enough to eat, how do you let them practice martial arts?Therefore, the most people in Li Zicheng's army are ordinary people.

And those strong men will be injured if they are cut by a knife, and they will bleed when they are hit by a flintlock gun. No one backed away in fear.
