Lord of Ming Dynasty

The short-fire blunderbuss in Zhang Qiang's hand dangled back and forth, aiming hard, and saw a burly man of the Ming army bravely split the shield of a swordsman with an axe, and kicked another swordsman Zhang Qiang was stabbed in the chest by a rebel spearman, and his momentum continued unabated. He was about to break through the resistance of the rebel patrols. When he reached the gate tower, Zhang Qiang finally found his chance. A burst of flames burst out from the ground, and with a bang, his chest was beaten into a bloody mess, and his whole body flew upside down, crushing three or four new Qing army troops rushing from behind.

"You kill a Ming army infantry, you gain 35 experience points."

As the Ming army infantry knocked down the new Qing army's new affiliated army behind them, the pressure on the passage on the left was reduced. Only a few injured volunteer soldiers rushed forward with a loud cry, pushing the enemy out of the city gate. The aisle upstairs, and took the opportunity to kill a Qing army flag Ding.

After steadfastly clearing the gate tower, and pushing out a step or two, Hu Kui and the others had more space to use and their power increased, resisting the enemy's attack.

Zhang Qiang turned his head to look to the right, the pressure from the right came again, Zhang Qiang loaded the short-fire gun and continued to shoot, this time he failed to hit the enemy, and then he responded to the left and right, and within half an hour, he killed five new Qing soldiers. The soldiers attached to the army, and about seven young and strong defenders fled into the gate tower, and there was also a squire who could fight. This servant was arranged by Zhang Qiang to the left to help Hu Kui resist the enemy's attack.

At this time, Zhang Qiang already had two archers, five knives and poker players, five pikemen, three servants, and one patrol leader in Zhang Qiang's hands. Haolai was also the leader of a dozen people.

In a burst of tinkling sounds, the enemy finally retreated. It wasn't that the enemy didn't want to retreat, but that the NPC Zhu Dadian in the city and the servants and guards of the squires in the city were at least stronger than recruited youths who had never killed anyone. Those who are stronger than the fighting power of the rebel soldiers came up to reinforce the city wall.

Press the enemy down.

Zhang Qiang walked out from the city gate, and the rebel soldiers around him began to use the corpses. The enemy's corpses were thrown outside the city wall, and his own corpses were moved to the city wall. The old people and women below ran up and took the corpses of their own people. After carrying it down, at this moment, Zhang Qiang could hear faint sobs.

Zhang Qiang glanced at the top of his head. The sun tilted a little to the west again. He couldn't help secretly impatient. He raised his head and glanced at the city wall in the southwest direction. He could see that there was a mess, the battlements were gone, and the gate tower had collapsed.

The enemy's artillery fire was still bombarding that section of the city wall, and the entire city wall was trembling, making people worry that even the city wall under their feet would collapse immediately, burying them in the ruins.

To Zhang Qiang's surprise, after moving the corpse, those rebel soldiers and the servant didn't leave just now, but stared at Zhang Qiang with big eyes and small eyes.

Maybe it was Zhang Qiang's command just now that saved them from dying under the enemy's sword. Everyone has a mentality of following the crowd or clinging to the strong, so they didn't leave Zhang Qiang's side, but formed a circle around Zhang Qiang, waiting. Zhang Qiang gave the order.

The enemy's artillery shells flew again, and the rebel soldiers on the city wall could not help lying down on the city wall, and Zhang Qiang also ordered them to lie down.

He hid on the side of the city gate and carefully observed the enemy.

Not long after, the enemy launched an attack again, rushing up the city wall along the slope of the siege vehicles that the rebels had no time to clear. With the help of these masters of the guard, fight the enemy at the ramp of the siege engine.

The enemy's cannons still didn't stop, the city gate almost collapsed, and still relentlessly bombarded the gate tower. Zhang Qiang had to take the soldiers who followed him to hide, and hid under the crenellation of the incomplete city wall, waiting. Enemies come down from the ladder.

The first enemy jumped in, and Zhang Qiang shot him to death. That enemy fell from the gap in the city wall without crenels to the bottom of the city wall. However, the second enemy jumped in again, jumping off the ladders with an interval of 30 meters. Seven or eight newly attached troops of the Qing army, and four or five Qing army bannermen came.

There were even one or two Han flag spearmen.

While loading the short-fired guns in his hand, Zhang Qiang commanded a dozen soldiers who obeyed his orders to fight.

Zhang Qiang, the two archers, ordered them to follow him at all times, and other rebel officers also commanded the rebel soldiers to rush towards the enemy.

The soldiers commanded by Zhang Qiang basically leaned against the left side of the collapsed city gate, about 30 meters long between the two ladders erected by the enemy. This direction is facing the city wall in the southwest corner. Don't worry about that section of the city wall, so walk out from this side. As for the other side, you can only go up by detouring under the city wall.

In order not to be killed by the Qing army's cotton armor soldiers who went to the Qing army to supervise the battle team, the newly attached army of the Qing army was almost desperate, and the soldiers of the rebel army were also desperately defending their homes from being captured and ravaged by the enemy.

The soldiers led by Zhang Qiang basically cooperated with about 30 rebel soldiers and five or six household guards to guard a section of the city wall about [-] meters away, taking care of a long ladder of the enemy.

The soldiers following Zhang Qiang were basically about seven or eight meters away from Zhang Qiang, guarding Zhang Qiang in the middle.

This allowed Zhang Qiang and the two archers following Zhang Qiang to sneak up on the enemy calmly and shoot arrows from a distance.

At the front are five sword players, behind them are five pikemen, behind them are three servants, and at the end are Zhang Qiang and his three long-distance players.

The enemies who slipped through the net from the soldiers of the rebel army were quickly killed by these dozens of people, and then a few more, and then killed again. In this cycle, Zhang Qiang also killed seven or eight enemies. Like a meat grinder, it kills all the enemies who leaked from the rebel soldiers, servants, and guards.

The fighting continued, half an hour passed, an hour passed, and two hours passed. At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Qiang estimated that he had killed at least [-] enemy soldiers, most of whom were new Qing troops. , The Ming army surrendered troops, and there were also a small number of soldiers from the Qing army and the Han army banner, and one or two coated slaves, they were the so-called fake tartars.

And the soldiers around him killed at least three times as many enemies as Zhang Qiang killed.

But those rebel soldiers were basically dead, the country gentry and guards also died in sevens and eights, and the dozen or so soldiers around Zhang Qiang who were dispatched by him also died seven or eight. The city wall inside the long ladder Come on, with Zhang Qiang on his face, but there are only twenty people.

However, this time in the city, there were no additional rebel soldiers or servants guarding the courtyard. Only twenty rebel soldiers who ran over from the southwestern wall were intercepted by Zhang Qiang, and they were under his command. The remaining rebel soldiers on this section of the wall The soldiers were also collected by Zhang Qiang. He now has a small banner of the Ming army commanding about 45 soldiers.

He thinks so, in fact he feels a little sad, even though NPC Zhu Dian has appointed himself a deputy commander of the rebel soldiers, and with his status as the king of the world and the commander of the general, he can only command the small flag Level manpower, this cannot but be said to be a kind of sadness.

But who made him have no prestige and identity in the historical world, NPC Zhu Dadian recognized him, and others, the Ming army in the history of 1646 did not know him.

Chapter 8 Domination Skills

Among the [-] volunteer soldiers who escaped, several were originally Ming army deserters, or former Ming army veterans who were idle at home, or firecracker soldiers. There were about seven of them. Zhang Qiang organized them, three in front and four in back. Beside him, at the same time, there were five archers among the rebel soldiers, which happened to be seven again. Zhang Qiang put them behind the firecrackers to cover the firecrackers.

Zhang Qiang currently has the following troops: seven archers, seven firecrackers, three servants, one patrol leader, two broadsword soldiers, ten spearmen, ten infantrymen, infantrymen with long knives, axes, Even dung forks, five knife players.

Generally speaking, these soldiers are all soldiers of the rebel army. To put it bluntly, the rebel soldiers are ordinary people, and to put it bluntly, they are the people who are strong and brave. They are not soldiers at all, and they are not even called militiamen.

Fortunately, the militia has received some basic training, has a certain combat effectiveness, and basically uses the weapons in their hands correctly.

And these young and strong people, in addition to their physical strength, rely on their blood and their own bravery to fight. They are not as good as even the Ming army's descendants and the guards.

The soldiers of the guards in the Ming Dynasty had a few perfunctory training, they knew how to be obedient, and they knew how to line up, and these rebel soldiers only knew how to go up the city wall, and then swarmed up like street punks fighting in groups. Veterans of the Ming army, yamen servants, country gentry and servants, and guards are in charge of the courtyard. They are basically the masters who will collapse at the first touch.

Zhang Qiang made a division of labor and asked Hu Kui to lead five swordsmen and three pikemen to guard the place where the enemy's ladder was erected; the pikemen Jia Ding and the swordsman Jiading led five infantry to guard the city wall; the remaining pikemen were behind, The infantry was in front, standing in front of Zhang Qiang, commanded by another remaining servant; Zhang Qiang commanded the musketeers and archers, and he himself brought two swordsmen at the back. The two swordsmen were to protect himself, relying on collapse city ​​gate tower.

The enemy was still besieging the city. This time, the enemy seemed to want to take down the city wall in one fell swoop and break into the city. It had been going on for several hours, but they still did not retreat, but sent soldiers to the city wall wave after wave.

Maybe it was the soldiers of the Rebel Army that Zhang Qiang managed to hold together. They were so powerful that they killed all the enemies who climbed up this section of the city wall. This made all the surviving soldiers feel grateful to Zhang Qiang, and at the same time, they could not help but obey Zhang Qiang's instructions. Order.

When the next wave of enemies did not arrive, Zhang Qiang led four teams of soldiers, lying on the city wall, enduring the occasional shell attacks from the Tartars, while shooting and shooting arrows at the next wave of enemies rushing towards the city wall.

The long-range fire output of fifteen people made it difficult for the enemy to approach the 30-meter section of the city wall they were defending.

The enemies who rushed up reached 30 meters below the city wall and began to fall to the ground. Seventy or eighty people charged a section of the city wall and carried new ladders, which allowed Zhang Qiang and the others to shoot arrows calmly. When the enemy archers reacted, Zhang Qiang and the others At least 20 new Qing troops have been killed, and a Mongolian herdsman was also shot dead.

When the enemy reacted, Zhang Qiang and the others shrank back, about a step away from the city wall. Except for the enemy's thrown bows and arrows that could hurt them, other infantry could not attack them at all.

When Zhang Qiang killed a Qing army bannerman who rushed up, Zhang Qiang heard the sound of the cavalry and hacking system, "You have been promoted to the first level, and you have learned the first-level control skill."

Before Zhang Qiang could react, the system voice sounded again:

"Level-50 command skill allows you to command [-] volunteer soldiers calmly. The game system takes effect, making these soldiers who have already lived and died with you determined to follow you and obey your command."

Although he has obtained the control skill, the war is still going on.

The siege team mixed with Ming army archers, Mongolian archers, and Han army flag archers forced Zhang Qiang and the others to take a few steps back because their firepower could not suppress the opponent.

There are too many enemies, and there are too many veterans. The soldiers in Zhang Qiang's hands who have just turned from ordinary people to soldiers of the rebel army can't suppress their opponents at all. They fought cruelly in close combat. The first enemy experienced the baptism of rolling logs and stones on the city wall. I was hurt all over, and it started when I jumped onto the city wall with a roar.

Facing ferocious enemies, these recruits who had just learned what war looks like, and just learned how to use the weapons in their hands to kill several enemies, were crushed and beaten without exception.

Zhang Qiang was anxious and yelled again and again, commanding the fire commanders around him, and the archers to attack the enemy.

He also took time to shoot and kill the enemy.

"The archers shoot at the enemy's rear." Zhang Qiang roared.

"The firecrackers in the front row are free to shoot, and the back row is ready to shoot in salvo." The firecrackers in the back row stepped on the corpses of their comrades, one head higher than the three firecrackers in the front row, and aimed at the three servants who were fighting with each other. Qing army flag Ding rushing from behind the enemy.

"Ready, fire."
