The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 332
Zheng Yiguan's pirate troops had long been fortified, and the Ming army was even more united.

Everyone was ready for the enemy to attack, and no one made a plan for attacking the enemy, so everyone used their eyes to fight each other for half an hour.

Zheng Yiguan was a little dizzy from the sun. His subordinates fought for a long time, and their physical strength was too great. Ten people fainted.

Zheng Yiguan was furious, and the feeling of helplessness he had never felt oppressed him so much that he could not breathe. The pirate leader who always thought he was very wise felt helpless.

The Ming army did not fight back and did not retreat. What are they doing here?What a fool!
Zheng Yiguan's gunner's torches have been replaced seven or eight, everyone is sweating profusely, the Ming army is as immovable as a mountain, what can I do?

The pirate leader has nothing to do when he meets a master!You don't hit me because you are afraid of our cannons.It doesn't matter that we have a large number of people, you only have ten cannons, and they don't seem to be as big as our artillery, we are not afraid, our warriors will brave the artillery fire to advance.

Zheng Yiguan couldn't bear it anymore, and he couldn't bear it anymore, because it's not a problem to go on like this!They are pirates, and now they are blocked on the shore by officers and soldiers. Behind them is the Ming army's city Zhongzuo, and in front of them is the opposing army.

If the Ming army does not attack, it is confident. It may be waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive, but it is unknown!Zheng Yiguan, who was in a dead situation, decided to give up his superiority in artillery fire, and the whole army crushed the current enemy.

Zheng Yiguan ordered the Chinese army to wave the flag. The semaphore said that the Chinese army should not move, while the front army and the two wings attacked and moved forward.Zheng Yiguan still has confidence in his subordinates. He dispatched more than 4000 people to approach the Ming army at once, which is almost double the confrontation with the Ming army. He wanted to see how the Ming army would respond.

Of course, the pirates did not have the conditions to stay here for a long time. It was expected that they would attack the Ming army's position.

Huang Sheng was playing with the "Lucky Axe" leisurely. There were only two loaders in the chariot, Zhen Siming and Bian Jicheng, and Huang Dongshan, the supreme commander of the firearms unit.

The other six loaders lined up with Liu Guozheng's personal squad on the side of Huang Sheng's chariot.

"Dongshan, do you still remember the battle where we used an ax to chop up Jiannu vests? That time Li Dagang almost died. If there were double-barreled short guns at that time, we could kill those two Jiannu with two shots. Where can it be so dangerous?"

"My lord, I can vividly remember the humble job. At that time, the humble job couldn't help me with anything. I just threw the hammer stupidly, and it didn't hit Jiannu."

"Firearms, the Huang family should spare no effort to develop firearms. You have to put more thought into it. Under the bombardment of artillery fire and the shooting of well-trained musketeers, no enemy can defeat the Huang family."

"Yes, my lord, I must work hard to train more musketeers. Brother Gou'er's artillery is already decent. In the future, our Huang family's artillery should be invincible."

While the two supreme commanders were chatting on the battlefield, Zheng Yiguan's troops approached five hundred steps away. The pirate troops knew the effective range of the six-pound copper-cored iron guns, and the array here was just outside the range of the artillery.

The Ming army's position was completely silent, and the quietness made people feel mysterious.Zheng Yiguan's army moved, marched [-] steps forward in formation, and stopped behind the standing front army. There were actually many soldiers dressed as Japanese samurai there.Suddenly the pirates' war drums were beating loudly.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The pirate soldier roared three times in the highest voice.

The Ming army was not to be outdone, and the uniform roar sounded "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"

Zheng Yiguan waved the battle flag of the Chinese army, and the attack began. The phalanx of 300 people was arranged in seven columns and two rows, with a gap of no more than ten steps between them. No cavalry at all?

It seems that he is a dead book and a dead book, and he completely copied how to write military books.

The Huang family's formation is completely arbitrary and adapts to local conditions. It refers to the combat effectiveness and equipment of the brought out team, and analyzes the possible attack methods of the opponent. It can be said to be eclectic.

The pirate's matchlock gunners were advancing with matchlock guns in their hands. They had already lit the matchlocks and held them in their hands. They could fire at any time when they were within fifty paces. There were quite a few of them, more than two thousand.

In fact, this is already a medium-scale war of the initial hot-weapon troops. Individual bravery will be replaced by firepower output, and a new war mode will also debut!
Zheng Yiguan's team had swords and shields at the front, and spearmen at the back striding forward with drumbeats.It's so strange that the Ming army had ten artillery pieces, why didn't they fire them? Is it bad for bluffing?
Zheng Yiguan became excited, and instead of braving artillery fire as he had imagined, he approached two hundred steps from the Ming army. It seemed that victory was in sight.The rhythm of the Chinese army's drum beat suddenly increased.

Zheng Yiguan's minions began to trot, and the Ming army formation was still calm and quiet. Suddenly, there was a clear and clear gunshot, followed by three loud bangs in a uniform and rhythmic manner, "Pa, pa, pa!" The "boom" of the sound.

That was when the musketeer heard the sound of the owner's gun, and immediately started a three-stage volley, and the miniature bullets that came out of the gun kissed the pirate passionately.

The naughty dog ​​asked the artillerymen under his command to fire three six-pound bullets with long-range rifled guns to have fun with their leader Zheng Yiguan, to see how lucky they were, maybe they could successfully kill the enemy general.

Of course, the seven bullets of the smoothbore gun went to the pirates' attacking square to stir up a bit, there was a dozen of them!
The next sound was not very orderly. All the first-level shooters on the chariot greeted the arquebus gunner who rushed forward at the fastest speed. The guns were almost empty, and the seven smoothbore guns came again. two rounds.

Master Huang Sheng opened fire when the pirates approached seventy paces. The pirates' arquebus gunners were hit by a three-stage volley, and more than half of them were fired. , rising like a black cloud.

The attack on the muzzle of the gun was very tragic, and the next thing will be terrible. Forty "Flying Thunder" flew into the air and fell freely about [-] steps in front of the Ming army's formation. The stone ground exploded one by one, spreading to a radius of more than ten step.

Although there were 120 grenadiers, the length of the array was not enough for them to deploy, and only one-third of the grenadiers got the chance to drop bombs.

The pirates had no experience of being hit like this, because they couldn't see the Ming army clearly because of the smoke. They didn't know what happened, but everyone knew that they suffered heavy casualties, because their companions poured out a large piece of wheat like they had been cut.

There are no fools, the pirates who make a living by robbing houses and houses have all collapsed, why is this so?Didn't the Chinese army not move?

If you don't move, you won't be beaten?Gou'er took the best gunner under his command to lock on Zheng Yiguan with a rifled cannon, ready to execute the beheading operation.

The distance is only one and a half miles, which is the best range for rifled guns, and three blooming bullets directly knocked down the banner of Zheng Yiguan's Chinese army.

Zheng Yiguan's personal soldiers suffered dozens of casualties. Fortunately, a group of swords and shields surrounded the general. Zheng Yiguan was lucky to survive, but he was also covered in blood, but he didn't know whether he was bleeding himself or the blood of his personal soldiers splashed on him. body.

Zheng Yiguan was young and quick to respond. If the Ming army could hit three shotguns to his central army, he could hit six. If he didn't run away, he would continue to be bombed.

One face to face, the pirate leader took the lead and ran away, and the team's central army flag disappeared. How can this battle be fought?
