The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 148 Die for the Country
The last thing Lin Gui saw was a rapidly growing fireball.He didn't even hear the bang, and he was dead before that.

Although Zhu Linmei's modified Thunderbolt was not as good as the military grenades of later generations, it was quite astonishingly powerful when it exploded in the narrow city gate.

Fifty or sixty Qing soldiers were huddling together and desperately trying to close the door, when they heard a few loud noises behind them, and immediately nearly a hundred pieces of iron fragments flew in all directions. There were screams in the city gate for a while, and no one went to close the gate.

"Seize the gate!" Zheng Chenggong waved his hand behind him, and was the first to rush into the city gate. Seeing that no one was coming to resist for the time being, he quickly turned around and cooperated with the crowd to push the city gate open to the maximum.

The loud noises just now made the Qing army guarding the pass flustered, and in addition to the darkness in the city gate, it was impossible to see clearly what was going on for a moment.

In addition, Murima and Lin Gui were dead, and these people lost their unified command, so hundreds of people crowded in the urn cave, but no one was willing to rush to close the door.

Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong simply made people shout, "Ming army has an ambush, everyone, don't come here!" Then several thunderbolts were thrown into the crowd of captive soldiers gathered in front of the city gate. A large piece of stump and blood flew out.

As soon as the Qing soldiers heard that there was an ambush, they were severely injured. The two sides in their hearts confirmed that for a while, not only no one dared to move forward, but retreated more than ten steps in fear.

After Zheng Chenggong heard the thunderous sound of horseshoes behind him, he knew that the army was very close.He put his sword in front of his chest, raised his head and said to more than 30 soldiers beside him: "If you hold on for a while, Xianxia Pass will be won! You and I will die together for the country. After a hundred years, people in the world will sacrifice to us together." !"

"kill!"

What responded to him was a series of low-pitched shouts. Each of the 32 warriors held a sword and used their bodies to form an iron wall, blocking the gate of Xianxiaguan firmly behind them.

Finally, another part of Murima drove Hafon'a from the camp to the pass.Standing on his horse, he could already see the silhouette of the large group of cavalry from a distance, and then looked down, only to find that the closed door was still open!

"They're all a bunch of trash!" He swung his knife and cut down two soldiers who were staring at the city gate tremblingly, and shouted sharply, "Give it to me! Close the city gate!"

Immediately, forty or fifty musketeers gathered in the urn cave, hurriedly began to load the gunpowder, but then a few thunderbolts flew over.

The captive soldiers who had seen the power of the thunder just now turned pale with fright, and scattered in all directions.Ha Feng'a was about to curse, when he heard a few bangs, his scalp went numb, he kicked the blunderbuss player who had retreated to his side, and shouted angrily: "You fart blunderbuss, rush up with me!"

He glanced outside the city gate again, drew his sword and ran towards Zheng Chenggong and others, and more than ten soldiers beside him immediately rushed up.Seeing that the highest commander in Xianxia pass was rushing forward, the rest of the Qing soldiers also rushed forward with their weapons.

More than [-] people including Zheng Chenggong stood in the city gate, with dozens of sabers flying up and down. They were skilled in both offensive and defensive coordination, and supported each other at any time. further!
Hafon'a forcefully pushed away the guards in front of him, and dragged a saber straight into the formation.

This person fought all the way from the northeast to Shandong, Shaanxi, Henan and other places, slaughtering countless Han people in the north of the Yangtze River.

Sure enough, just after Ha Feng'a's three moves, a Dragon Guard soldier was stabbed in the left abdomen by him and fell to the ground.

Zheng Chenggong saw that the captive general in front of him was extremely fierce, his saber made a sharp wind sound, and slashed straight to the point where two or three members of the Dragon Guards couldn't raise their heads.

Seeing him slashing down with his saber, the man was unable to dodge under the light of his saber, Zheng Chenggong immediately raised his saber to block, and heard a crisp "boom", which made his hands go numb.

Zheng Chenggong didn't dare to neglect, and only concentrated on fighting Ha Feng'a.What he learned is mainly Japanese swordsmanship, supplemented by southern single-sword moves, but he is not good at strength.The situation was chaotic and the light was dim, and he was overwhelmed by Hafeng'a's open and close moves, but he had to stick to the line of defense instead of wandering and fighting. After a few moves, it was already quite strenuous.

As the captive soldiers gradually recovered from the previous panic, the offensive continued to intensify. Someone in front was killed, and someone immediately made up for it, while the Dragon Guards continued to reduce their numbers.

Soon, Zheng Chenggong had to deal with the three captives including Hafeng'a alone, and the situation was already declining in a short while.Although he heard the sound of firecrackers from Xianxia Pass, he didn't dare to look back, and he had no way of knowing how far away the army was.

Suddenly, the Dragon Guard soldier on his left was stabbed in the leg by the Qing army with a long spear, and he knelt down on one knee with a muffled grunt. Although he still raised his knife to defend against the enemy, a large gap appeared immediately on Zheng Chenggong's left shoulder.

Seeing the opportunity, Ha Feng'a immediately slashed to the right with his saber. Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to block with his saber with both hands, but there was another flaw on the right side.

When Ha Feng'a slashed with his knife, the soldiers on the right also stabbed him with a spear. Zheng Chenggong reflexively turned his side slightly, but felt a chill on his shoulder, and immediately his entire right arm lost strength.

He was shocked by Hafeng'a's attack and took two steps back. When he looked up, he saw another Dragon Guard soldier was drowned in the captive army. At this time, there were only ten Dragon Guard soldiers who followed him into Xianxia Pass and were still holding on. , but like a flat boat in a turbulent sea, it may capsize at any time.

Zheng Chenggong knew that he was powerless to fight any more, so he gritted his teeth, took out a thunderbolt from his bosom, and probed the lead wire to a torch on the ground, hoping to stop the captive army for a while.

Ha Feng'a succeeded in one blow, and then followed up with another move of "Splitting Huashan" from the top of Zheng Chenggong's head.The Zhentianlei in the latter's hand was still more than a foot away from the torch, seeing that it was too late to ignite, he sighed inwardly and closed his eyes.

Before the saber fell, Zheng Chenggong heard the sound of gunfire behind him. The next moment, a cloud of blood burst out from the chest of Hafenga, who was in the air, and then he was hit hard by a twenty-dollar lead bullet. It fell on the Qing soldiers behind them.

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly turned his head to look in surprise, and saw Zhao Shichao throwing the short blunderbuss he had just fired and rushing over with his sword drawn.

Zhao Shichao glanced at the blood on Zheng Chenggong's shoulder, and said loudly: "Digu will step back first, and I will wait for the rest!"

Zheng Chenggong breathed a sigh of relief, looked out of the pass, and saw hundreds of hussars abandoning their horses, holding short guns, or cavalry swords rushing towards this side, the narrow mountain road in front of Xianxia pass has been densely packed The torches are crowded, shaped like a winding fire dragon.

He put the unignited Thunderbolt back into his pocket, propped his saber on the ground, and forced a smile to Zhao Shichao, "It's finally time for you guys!"
