Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 469 Li Dingguo failed to attack Tongren

Li Dingguo frowned slightly. The news that a large number of Ming troops stormed Wujiang Pass did not make him feel anxious, but instead made him a little less vigilant towards the Ming troops.

As the most powerful general under the Daxi regime, that is, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo has always been cautious in leading troops, and he has always been worried whether there will be Ming troops coming from the direction of Dalou Mountain.

Now the fierce attack on Wujiang Pass proves that the Ming army probably did not choose to venture into Zunyi from Dalou Mountain.

So after hearing the report from his subordinates that Wujiang Pass was attacked by the Ming army, he felt a little lucky.

"The more intense the Ming army's attack on Wujiang Pass, it means that the Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty became more determined to seize Zunyi after he arrived. The direction of Wujiang Pass should not be taken lightly. The [-] firearms battalion prepared in advance would have been reassigned." Support you, remember to defend Wujiang Pass for half a month, after half a month, the Ming army will definitely retreat without fighting!"

After Li Dingguo finished speaking, in order to encourage the soldiers under his command to defend Wujiang Pass, he sent 3000 more firearms soldiers to support him, and also specially awarded [-] taels of silver.

And Li Dingguo's generals also believed in the words of their coach.

Hearing Li Dingguo say that the Ming army would retreat after half a month, they really believed that the Ming army would retreat by itself.

Therefore, after facing Xia Wanchun's fierce onslaught for several days, the Daxi garrison of Wujiang Pass has not lost their morale, and still stubbornly defends the city.

The reason why Li Dingguo dared to assert that the Ming army would not stand up in half a month's time was naturally because his five thousand elite soldiers were about to succeed in attacking Tongren.

But what Li Dingguo didn't know was.

Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty had already guessed that he might make this dangerous move because of the importance he attached to him, so he asked Li Yan, the left servant of the Ministry of War and governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, to make preparations in advance.

At this time, the First Corps of the Seventh Army of the Guards has been ordered to return to Tongren and lie in ambush in the mountains and forests surrounding Tongren. Into the pocket of the Ming army.

Li Dingguo's five thousand elites are indeed the elite of the elite, just like the wolf soldiers who showed their talents in the anti-Japanese battlefield back then, these Sichuan officers and soldiers who were accustomed to traveling through the mountains and jungles were all wearing straw sandals, bamboo hats, and rope iron hooks. Things like white stripes in the waves in the rapids, like gibbons in the mountains, arrived in Tongren at a very fast speed.

It's a pity that such an army can only be regarded as Daming's enemy army at this time.

Tongrenfu City is located between the Dajiang River and the Xiaojiang River in Tongren, with mountains and forests to the north and south.

Now Feng Xianchu, under Li Dingguo's command, brought five thousand Daxi elite soldiers to cross the Tongren River and quickly surrounded Tongrenfu City.

As soon as they saw the emperor's dragon flag, the canopy, and the gorgeously dressed eunuchs and guards on the city of Tongrenfu, these Daxi soldiers became excited, thinking that they were about to capture the emperor of Ming Dynasty, so they began to swing the iron hook, and they just threw it on the high side of the city. After hooking the battlements on the wall, they climbed up desperately.

At this time, Zhang Tongchang's troops, the Imperial Guard Infantry Battalion of the Second Guards Army, were in charge of guarding the city wall, equipped with the most advanced Chongzhen Type 22 breech-loading rifles.

Zhang Tongchang fired the first shot first. The Chongzhen Type 22 rifled gun operates similarly to the Chongzhen Type 21 rifle, but because the barrel is rifled and the propellant used for the primer is a granular nitration explosive with higher purity and density. Not long after Zhang Tongchang pulled the trigger, the bullet shot out immediately. The strong recoil caused Zhang Tongchang's shoulder to move back suddenly, and at this time the bullet directly penetrated the head of a large soldier!

The whole process happened in an instant, and the bullet penetration of the rifled gun was simply unimaginable. Moreover, because the gunpowder fired was a nitrated explosive, the explosion was also very powerful. Rotten, died in a short while, and fell heavily from the city wall to the ground.

This is the power of the Chongzhen 22-type rifled gun. The shooting speed and sensitivity are very high, and the bullet has also become conical, and the penetrating power has been enhanced a lot. Even if it hits the city wall, it can make a deep crater and burst out. Sparks come.

"Pass down the order, try to hurt people without killing them, beat hands and feet without hitting the head!"

Zhu Youjian knew that the group of Daxi soldiers in front of him were the current enemies of Ming Dynasty, but he also knew that these Sichuan soldiers who wore straw sandals and bamboo hats were short but nimble like monkeys were originally in the history of the 40s and [-]s. He has made huge sacrifices and contributions to the war, and it would be a pity to kill them all now.

Of course, Zhu Youjian is not really a benevolent woman. He also took into account that these must be elite veterans who have followed Li Dingguo for a long time. The friendship between these veterans must be very deep. If one is injured, several veterans will Going to rescue him will reduce the combat effectiveness of these Daxi elite soldiers by a few soldiers.

As soon as Zhu Youjian gave the order, Zhang Tongchang and others changed their shooting methods, using rifled guns to shoot only the hands or feet of these Daxi soldiers.

Soon these Daxi soldiers all supported their comrades and retreated.

But Zhang Tongchang and others immediately drove these Daxi soldiers with rifled guns. The range of rifled guns was very far, and these Daxi soldiers retreated a long distance before they were out of range of the guards.

And this time.

The First Corps of the Guards and Gao Jie's troops had rushed over and surrounded all these Daxi soldiers.

"Hey, what's going on here? Didn't the general say that there are not many defenders in Tongren, and one part of the Ming army is in Kaili and the other is in Guiyang? Why are there so many defenders in Tongren?"

At this time, a Daxi general was speaking, and Feng Xianchu said helplessly:

"Needless to say, we probably fell for it. The firearms of the defenders on the city wall were so sharp just now. We killed and injured more than 2000 brothers before we even took a step up the city wall. Now that there are so many Ming troops, [-]% of them will not be able to go back."

"This official is Ma Shiying, a scholar of the Martial Arts Hall of the Ming Dynasty, and I came here to ask questions on the order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You and the bandits have also seen it. Our army of 20 has surrounded you all. It is difficult for you to fly out even if you spread your wings. Ruo Er When you have the heart to repent, you should quickly put down your sword and gun and kneel down to accept the surrender, my emperor is benevolent and righteous, and for the time being, I can think of your innocence, only the fault of being coerced by a thief can spare you and not die!"

At this time, Ma Shiying left Tongren City under the escort of Zhang Tongchang and other guards officers and soldiers, and began to recruit Feng Xianchu and others.

"Don't listen to that dog officer! Brothers, follow me!"

Feng Xianchu yelled loudly, but as soon as he yelled, a rifle bullet directly exploded his head, hitting him on the ground on the spot, bleeding profusely.

The rest of the Daxi soldiers were terrified, and their morale was completely lost.

"Kill the leader, and the rest will be easy. Tell Ma Shiying to let him shout again."

Zhu Youjian blew the white smoke from the muzzle of the gun, and returned the Chongzhen Type 22 rifled rifle to Zhang Tongchang, muttering to himself, "It's better to use a bolt-type rifle."
