Chapter 227

Seeing a large number of hastily armed auxiliary troops rushing to the front line, Zhu Cixiang's nervous brows finally relaxed.

With these [-] auxiliary troops, Zhu Cihong temporarily had the strength to compete with Xu Dingguo and Liu Zeqing's rebels in terms of numbers.

Although Zhu Cihong formed a large circular formation and had a very large area of ​​contact with the rebels, no matter how large it was, the length of the battle line was limited.

The Ming army that could fight the rebels at the same time only accounted for a small part of the total, only a few thousand.

As long as there are thousands of people on the front line, Zhu Cihong's defense line can be guaranteed not to be breached.

The trenches just dug by the auxiliary soldiers, the defensive fortifications such as horses and caltrops placed are not paper. Although they cannot directly kill the enemy, it is possible to prevent the rebels from attacking the Ming army with all their strength.

It's just that being besieged for a long time, with no retreat inside and no reinforcements outside, this situation made the soldiers of the Ming army very uncomfortable.

Although they are willing to fight for their emperor and the court, if this battle is destined to have no hope of victory, they will not fight to the end.

After all, they didn't receive much kindness from the royal family, so why should they die for Zhu Cixiang?
Zhu Cixiang also discovered the emotions of the Ming army soldiers. Of course, he had a solution to this problem, which was to use the system to summon an army out of thin air as reinforcements.

The reason why Zhu Cihong didn't use it before was because he wanted to wait for the reinforcements to arrive before summoning them, so that the strength of the reinforcements would be greatly strengthened, and maybe Liu Zeqing and Xu Dingguo's rebels could be wiped out in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that the situation is stronger than people, and Zhu Cihong's idea can only become an idea.

"System, I want to draw a lottery."

Zhu Cihong used his only chance to draw a lottery.

A huge turntable suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Cihong, and before Zhu Cihong could speak, it began to spin on its own.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1000 Ming Dynasty Imperial Guard Fire Gun Cavalry."

"Draw again." Zhu Cihong wanted to draw a lottery.

Under Zhu Cihong's order, the turntable turned again, and there was no sound during the turntable. The silence made people wonder if it was true.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1000 Eight Banners cavalrymen."

"I'm going to use all my points and exchange them for frontier cavalry."

In the current situation and battlefield conditions, cavalry can play a far greater role than infantry, and the reason why Zhu Cihong did not choose other cavalry, but the frontier cavalry.

It is because the combat effectiveness of the frontier cavalry is second to none in the Ming army. They mostly use three-eyed guns, as well as long spears and bright knives. The use of weapons can be described as both hot and cold, both long and short.

It is much stronger than the Guards Firegun Cavalry with gorgeous handguns and thin sabers. After all, the Guards Firegun Cavalry is more of a guard and etiquette than a battle.

"Two hundred frontier cavalry have been exchanged. Do you want to summon them immediately?"

"Summon immediately." Zhu Cixiang of course chose to summon immediately. The situation on the battlefield was extremely urgent and there was no room for delay.

If I summon the army earlier, the Ming army on the front line may die a little less. Although Zhu Cihong is not a person who cares about the lives of soldiers, because when there are too many people, you will become numb to life, thinking that they are just a number on the account book. .

But the existence of the soldiers is related to Zhu Cihong's safety. The more they are in number and the better their combat effectiveness is preserved, the more secure Zhu Cihong will feel.

Somewhere behind the battlefield, on a piece of land that no one pays attention to, a fully armed army with as many as [-] people and different appearances suddenly appeared.

Among them were the Eight Banners cavalry wearing yellow, white, blue, red and other colors and spear helmets, the Ming Dynasty Guards Fire Cavalry holding blunderbuss, and the frontier cavalry with three-eyed blunderbuss on their waists and long spears.

The Eight Banners soldiers were originally sworn enemies of the Ming army, especially the frontier army cavalry. Over the past few decades, countless battles had broken out between the frontier army and the Eight Banners army, and both sides had suffered heavy losses of blood.

But they united tightly together in an unconventional manner and put on an offensive formation.

Just because they are all soldiers obtained by Zhu Cihong relying on the system, they only have one master, that is Zhu Cihong, and naturally they will not attack each other.

As soon as they appeared on the vast wilderness, they waved their whips and rushed in the direction of Zhu Cihong.

They are Zhu Cihong's warriors, and their only purpose in coming to this world is to obey Zhu Cihong's orders. Anyone who stands in their way will be crushed by the spears and firecrackers in their hands.

"The Ming army is coming! The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking." Xu Dingguo's rear army found the cavalry that Zhu Cihong had just summoned, and quickly spread the news to give the army an early warning.

"Why is there still the Qing army?" Just when the soldiers of the rear army began to gather together to form a defensive cavalry battle formation, some sharp-eyed people suddenly discovered that the incoming Ming army was mixed with Qing army cavalry.

After seeing the banner of the Qing army, they were in a mess, panicked and at a loss.

They remembered that Xu Dingguo promised just now that the Qing army would send reinforcements to help them, but now why did the Qing army mix with the Ming army?

Seeing the sight of the Qing and Ming armies in front of them as if they were one, the officers and soldiers of the rear army who had gathered hastily had bad thoughts.

"Could it be that the Qing army betrayed us? They will not come to help us, but the Ming army."

"It's over, we're all over. With so many cavalry, who can stop them?"

The soldiers of Xu Dingguo's rear army gradually developed the idea of ​​not resisting. If there were only one or two thousand cavalry of the Ming army, they would still have the confidence to resist.

But now the Qing army has also arrived. Who knows whether there will be a larger Qing army later?
If all the Qing troops came, they would be doomed to be completely wiped out today, and they would not even be able to escape, because Xu Ding's army was mostly infantry, and there were very few livestock that could move them.

With such a mentality against the enemy, you will lose from the beginning.

Sure enough, as soon as the cavalry summoned by Zhu Cihong touched Xu Dingguo's rear army, the rebel soldiers dropped their weapons and armor one after another, making way for the incoming Ming and Qing coalition forces.

Just when they hurriedly gave way, there was even a stampede accident, because everyone was anxious to avoid the Ming and Qing coalition forces, and didn't want to be their ghosts under their horseshoes.

In this way, the cavalry in their early [-]s easily defeated the [-]-strong rebel rear guard without firing a shot.

Then, they came to the back of the rebels who were storming the Ming army's defense line, and while most people didn't notice them, they rushed in with lightning speed.

Wherever he went, broken arms flew across, dripping with blood, turning the battlefield into a large slaughterhouse.

Because the Ming army came out from behind the rebels, the rebels didn't even have time to turn their guns, and were pierced by the spears of the Ming cavalry.
