Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 146

at this point.

Looking at the menacing Ying Tianwei officers and soldiers holding weapons one by one in front of them.

Only then did Zhang Huangyan realize that this was not an exercise in the Huai'an Lecture Hall, this was real combat, and he wanted to kill or be killed.

As a scholar himself, he instinctively wants to retreat, even though he is quite skilled in martial arts and even archery.

But after all, it was the first time to kill someone. Zhang Huangyan was not as good as Chen Mingyu. He forgot to load the ammunition and command.

"Don't move!"

Zhang Huangyan instinctively raised his rifle, but forgot to attach the bayonet, and shouted loudly to embolden him.

And a group of people behind him also shouted after him, a thousand households: "Don't move!"

Some panicked Zhang Huangyan had forgotten the content of the infantry training, but he also knew that as a thousand households, he must stand at the forefront and must remain calm enough.

After he pulled the trigger and saw that there was no smoke coming out, Zhang Huangyan realized that he hadn't done anything. Seeing this, he simply pulled out his bow and arrow.

Then, Zhang Huangyan shot an arrow directly at the hat and helmet of one of the Tianwei officers and soldiers, and the arrow feather just hit the helmet of this man.

Bang!
The officers and soldiers of the guards who followed Zhang Huangyan couldn't help sighing inwardly at Zhang Huangyan's marksmanship, and their confidence increased for a while.

But at this time, the officers and soldiers of Ying Tianwei who were confronting Zhang Huangyan and the others were scared out of their wits. After Zhang Huangyan shot an arrow calmly, the officers and soldiers of Ying Tianwei in front of him all knelt down first.

Instead of realizing that Zhang Huangyan hadn't loaded the firearm and immediately counterattacked, it can be seen how neglected the training of these Yingtianwei rebel officers and soldiers is.

The leading Qianhu directly kowtowed and said, "Forgive me, this general, please forgive me!"

It was only then that Zhang Huangyan realized that he was here to carry out the order to clear up, so he decisively pulled out his bayonet, stabbed at the thousand households, and shouted: "Kill!"

Immediately, blood gushed out.

Seeing the blood, Zhang Huangyan seemed to suddenly lose any fear, turned around and stabbed another Ying Tianwei officer and soldier.

Seeing this, the other officers and soldiers of the guards immediately became bloody, and hurriedly drew their knives and slashed at these Ying Tianwei officers and soldiers.

And the Chongzhen [-]th-style rifle in their hands, which can fire continuously and add medicine, is extremely convenient to operate, and can even be used directly as a spear, it has become a fire stick.

It is no coincidence.

Like Zhang Huangyan, most of the officers and soldiers of the guards who participated in this mission had forgotten the main combat content of their usual training, that is, assassination and shooting training with rifles. Instead, they used the content of the usual auxiliary training, that is, hacking and fighting.

Fortunately, Ying Tianwei's officers and soldiers are all slaves of the Huaining Hou Mansion who are more afraid of death, not the servants of the frontier generals, so they are very greedy for life and afraid of death. Seeing that the army is neat, well-equipped, and full of energy The officers and soldiers of the guards first confessed.

Otherwise, if they really worked hard, the Guards officers and soldiers might not be able to take advantage of it, at least they didn't give full play to their advantages.

At this time, Jiao Lian arranged several other thousand-man teams to surround the barracks and shoot those who fled in the chaos.

And it just so happened that at this time, several officers and soldiers of Yingtian Guards escaped by climbing the wall in disorder, and the officers and soldiers in charge of besieging the guards were at a loss and drew out their Japanese swords to chase them.

"Bastard bastard, did they forget that thing in their hands?"

Jiao Lian said angrily, and then he took the Chongzhen [-]-style flintlock and fired several shots at the fleeing Ying Tianwei officers and soldiers.

Only then did the officers and soldiers of the Guards realize that they had better muskets on them, and quickly began to bite through the paper shells, pour the medicine, and squatted on the ground to shoot dense white fireworks at Ying Tianwei officers and soldiers who climbed out of the wall. medicine.

In an instant, all Ying Tianwei officers and soldiers who escaped were slaughtered!
Zhang Huangyan, who was still chasing and killing in Ying Tianwei's barracks, also realized his previous mistake at this time. While shouting to shoot and kill, he personally aimed at the fleeing Ying Tianwei officers and soldiers to massacre.

Ying Tianwei's [-] cavalry fled throughout the camp like chickens and ducks in captivity. They didn't know how to resist at all. The officers and soldiers of the Third Infantry Type A Battalion had more fun killing each other, without any pressure at all.

More than a dozen people knelt in front of Chen Mingyu, hoping that Chen Mingyu would escape, and said that they were from the Huaininghou Mansion.

But because Shangfeng's order was to kill them all.

So Chen Mingyu closed his eyes and picked up the bayonet to assassinate these people from Huaining Hou Sun Weicheng one by one on the spot.

In less than an hour, more than [-] officers and soldiers of Ying Tianwei were all wiped out by the Third Infantry Battalion A of the Guards.

Jiao Lian, who was a guerrilla in the battalion, walked in and couldn't help sighing secretly. The people above may have misunderstood the information and really thought that Ying Tianwei's cavalry was such a good team and how loyal they were to Sun Weicheng, but they ordered that no one should be left alive. It would never have occurred to them that in fact they were just a group of mediocre soldiers who were also afraid of death.

Even so, Jiao Lian, who upholds the military discipline of strictly implementing the orders of his superiors, asked at the end: "See if there are any survivors, and if there are any, make up for it! If one is released, it will be the mission of this mission." fail!"

After finally confirming that there were no survivors, Jiao Lian returned to Dasheng Pass with the [-]rd Infantry Battalion.

This time, the returned Third Infantry Battalion of the Second Army was a little more cold-blooded than when they first came, and they also regained some sense, knowing that killing people is not a casual thing, so all of them were much more silent than before.

After returning to the station, Jiao Lian severely reprimanded these officers and soldiers for this incident: "Do you really think that you are very powerful and a powerful army in the world because you think you have successfully killed 3000 people? Among you Quite a few people were born as scholars, nobler than me, Jiao Lian, Wenquxing, and the smartest people, but in my opinion, you are just a bunch of guys who are dumber than pigs, why are you using the muskets in your hands? At that time, I taught you how to line up to shoot and how to assassinate every day, but it’s good for you, it’s changed to a full martial arts!"

Zhang Huangyan and others couldn't help but lower their heads. Although it is true that it is much easier to kill with a knife than to shoot with medicine, but that is on the condition that the opponent does not resist. If the opponent is the same powerful force, even if he can Victory will also result in heavy casualties. Naturally, it is better to focus on using firepower to attack and wait for the enemy to approach to use faster and more lethal assassination skills.

"Remember, Your Majesty has already said that our guards, especially the first three armies, will deal with the Tartars in the future. The Tartars are superior to us in horseback riding skills and single-handed killing, and their physique is also superior to ours. Most of them are brave and ruthless, and if we only fight with them with swords, we will definitely suffer. Firearms are our best weapons. If we use them well, we can easily deal with an old cavalryman who has been fighting for several years. Remember? !"

Jiao Lian roared.

"Remember!" The officers and soldiers of the Third Infantry Battalion A shouted in unison.

"Next, add half an hour of assassination and half an hour of shooting every day, and don't embarrass me when you fight the Tartars in the future!"

Jiao Lian said.

　I woke up a little late today, it was too cold, so the update was a little late, I fell down, and I had to pick myself up, getting up from the bed was really a difficult operation, and it was still on the weekend.
