The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 317 Uncle Wang Forgives His Sins
The artillerymen on both sides of the infantry line were all loaded with shotguns according to the plan.

Following the volley just now, the muzzles of the fifteen cannons burst into flames, instantly spewing out a death net made up of thousands of iron beads!

Chen Ke was shouting and charging at Xing's head, thinking that he would be able to defeat the enemy in one round, and then only the army was left to attack Wuzhou.

All of a sudden, he felt the ground tremble under his feet, and the entire rushing formation seemed to hit an invisible stone wall, erupting into a bloody mist, and the momentum was immediately thwarted.

Even though his ears were buzzing with the roar from the enemy's direction, he could still vaguely hear the heart-piercing screams from all around him, it was like falling into purgatory.

He was so startled that he looked left and right, and saw the elite of the vanguard battalion, who had been aggressive just a moment ago, now writhing and struggling like a dead dog in a pool of blood.With that blow just now, the 700 people he brought out were reduced by nearly [-]%!
Even those soldiers who were not hit were all terrified. Most of them stood in place, staring around with frightened eyes. Some turned around and found that the war supervisor had been killed, and immediately dropped their weapons and turned to flee.

Even Chen Ke himself was so shocked that his mind went blank. Nearly half of the nearly one hundred famous people who had been following him had been shot dead. More bad luck than good luck.

He raised his eyes to look at the "thin" long snake formation of the enemy, only to realize that at some point the straight line had turned into a concave arc in the middle, faintly forming a semi-enveloping posture towards his own troops, whether it was the middle or the two wings. , can shoot at himself, and the firepower is very concentrated.

He quickly calculated in his mind that he was still nearly a hundred paces away from the enemy, and before his own troops could catch up with the enemy, the guns and cannons just now would definitely come again, and everyone from the Qianfeng Battalion would definitely explain everything here.

He licked his dry lips, and was about to order to retreat, when he suddenly heard the sound of military drums from the enemy line ahead, and then more than 2000 soldiers shouted in unison, "Let's go forward!"

"Standing!"

"aim!"

Chen Ke felt a chill on the back of his neck when he heard the news, and he even forgot the order to retreat, but his forward battalion soldiers didn't need his order.

But then came another chorus, "Let go!"

Dense lead bullets mixed with artillery shells came out of the gunpowder smoke, and Chen Ke's men and horses were shot one after another within a few steps, and fell forward to die.

Chen Ke himself was very lucky, two bullets flew past his ears, but they still couldn't hurt him at all.

He turned the horse's head and swung his whip desperately to escape, only a dozen or so generals remained closely behind him.

Unexpectedly, the enemy's firecrackers behind him reloaded extremely quickly, and within ten breaths of the last volley, another wave of lead bullets struck.

Chen Ke no longer dared to look at the casualties of the Vanguard Battalion. He just lowered his head and pumped his horse. Afterwards, several rounds of blunderbuss and cannon shots came, but he miraculously avoided them all.

When he finally escaped back to the main formation, he regained his composure, and looked around, there were only two remaining soldiers alive.

Ding Kuichu's army had just gotten into shape, when he heard the roar in the distance.The soldiers stopped their movements and looked up, only to see the Qianfeng Battalion rushing forward aggressively, and they were killed in a flash, only a hundred people escaped back.

Immediately, there was a commotion in Ding Kui's Chu army—this forward battalion with the best equipment couldn't even stand up to a face-to-face, and because he didn't even have any armor, what was the difference between going up to confront the enemy and dying?

First of all, the front team shrank back one after another, and the officers couldn't restrain them at all.Soon, the front team had retreated to the front of the Chinese army.

When the soldiers of the Chinese army heard that the vanguard battalion had been wiped out, they were terrified immediately, and started to retreat with the front team, and the army immediately fell into chaos again.

Zhu Linmi's intention was exactly that. He didn't want to kill more Ming soldiers in the civil war. He predicted that the enemy would rush to the flat place on the north side first, so he concentrated almost all rifled guns and cannons here.Then concentrated the most violent firepower, wiped out the first group of enemy troops with lightning speed, and defeated the fighting spirit of Ding Kuichu's troops to the maximum extent, so that they would give up resistance.

Ding Kuichu was still seriously arranging troops in the Chinese army, when he heard a burst of cannon fire, and then Chen Ke fled back in disgrace.

He was also shocked, and before he could ask what was going on, he saw that the formation of the Chinese army was crowded by the troops in front, and they were still retreating.

Immediately, some soldiers found out the situation and came to report, saying that the soldiers had rumored that King Chen had come with a hundred heavy artillery pieces, so they defeated the Qianfeng Battalion in an instant.

Hearing this, Ding Kuichu was so angry that he kicked Chen Ke to the ground, "Trash! Your defeat has demoralized our army!" The soldiers couldn't see the enemy's situation clearly, but he had binoculars, so he knew the enemy's artillery There are not even twenty guns, and the biggest one is only two thousand catties, which is not a heavy artillery.

Heavy artillery?He suddenly realized that he had twelve heavy cannons, but the march was too hasty before, and these slow-moving cannons were still on the mountain path at the top of the mountain.

When these heavy artillery arrived, they would definitely be able to sweep away the slump of the initial defeat, but now they should hold their ground and wait for a while longer.

Seeing that the front supervisor team beheaded dozens of people in a row, but still couldn't stop the soldiers from retreating, he was also very anxious, seeing that Wuzhou was two hundred miles away, and Conglong Dagong was right in front of him...

Thinking of this verse, he suddenly came up with a plan in his mind, hurriedly summoned his own soldiers and guards, and hurriedly confessed.

……

Seeing that the enemy army started to become chaotic, Zhu Lin was also relieved. If these people continued to fight desperately, he could only let the Dragon Guards strangle them all.But at the moment, Ding Kuichu's troops seem to have lost all morale, and it shouldn't take long for them to collapse on their own.

Suddenly, more than a hundred riders rushed out from the rear of Ding Kui's Chu army, and shouted in unison in front of his formation: "The order of the governor's hall has been passed on to the whole army—His Royal Highness King Gui has ascended to the throne in Wuzhou this morning. Hundreds of civil and military officials. Our army has made great contributions, and all the generals will be promoted to three ranks. The Holy One also rewarded the soldiers, and each gave 30 taels of silver!"

As these soldiers repeated Ding Kuichu's words over and over again, the soldiers in the army suddenly forgot about the retreat, and whispered to each other on the spot.

"Promoted to the third level? His mother's father has become the chief executive?!"

"King Gui became the emperor? Aren't we all heroes from Conglong..."

"A reward of 30 taels of silver! I can go back and buy a few acres of good land!"

"Brothers, go back to Wuzhou and live a good life!"

The huge temptation made them forget all the dangers, and the chaotic scene stopped immediately.

Seeing this, Zhu Linmi frowned slightly, thinking that Ding Kuichu had some tricks, so he could only attack by force.

He was about to order the whole army to attack, when he heard a slightly panicked voice behind him, "Greetings, greetings to Uncle Wang, my nephew is late, I hope the military plane has not been delayed..."
