Lord of Ming Dynasty

From a distance, the Jinhua Rebel Army looked like a force that was generously going to die, rushing towards the enemy without hesitation.

It was the first time that the Qing army had seen such an orderliness, with 1 people stepping on drums, striding forward, rushing towards the opponent's troops with an oppressive momentum.

The feeling of tens of thousands of people stepping forward together is very oppressive.

Especially the sound of footsteps, as neat as a person stepping out.

The Qing army began to stir up, many people were oppressed out of breath, some timid began to retreat, while some looked around anxiously, swallowed their saliva, and their faces turned pale.

Fan Shaozu saw that his troops became chaotic, he couldn't help being furious, and gave several orders in a row. Some cavalry rushed out immediately and beheaded some Qing troops who wanted to escape. It took a while for the Qing troops to stabilize formation.

At this time, the two sides met within 200 meters, and they had already reached a distance where they could fight.

As Zhang Qiang raised his hand, the messenger cavalry immediately shouted loudly, "The whole army stops."

A few cavalry standard bearers on horseback around them put on a red flag one after another.

Suddenly, a cloud of dust rose.

The whole army stomped their feet for the last time. It should be said that they put down their feet after they stopped advancing, and said "boom" in unison.

The drumming behind him stopped.

There was a commotion in the cavalry team of the Qing army on the opposite side. Many cavalrymen shook their bodies for a while, and several cavalrymen couldn't help but fell from their horses, causing a riot in the team.

"咚咚咚" three war drums, and then suddenly stopped.

The artillery on the two wings emerged from the rear, seized the high ground, and began to arrange positions nervously.

At this time, the Qing army had sent the infantry on both wings to charge forward, trying to defeat the firecrackers on the two wings.

The flags flew, and the drums sounded again, but with a different tune.

The gunners on the two wings began to aim one by one.

Two teams of hundreds of cavalry rushed out from the two wings to intercept and harass the cavalry who rushed over, and the two sides fought together.

Chapter 83 Sweeping the Army

The [-] Qing troops pressed hard, and a huge shadow hung over the hearts of the Jinhua Rebels. The only thing that could inspire them was Zhang Qiang's banner of the general behind him, and the sound of drums that seemed to be full of enthusiasm.

The cavalry attacked, and the firecrackers quickly put down the firecrackers in their hands, reloaded, and aimed.

150 meters, 120 meters.

The musketeer in the middle opened fire.

The continuous shooting caused the Qing army facing each other to be cut down one by one like leeks.

The deafening gunshots made the Qing army panic. The gunners and shotgunners in the Qing army opened fire one after another. The gunners and musketeers quickly made ripples, and the soldiers in the back row quickly made up for it, and then it was calm again, just like a team that had not been attacked, they continued to load, walk, and shoot under the orders of the officers.

In comparison, the Qing army on the opposite side had a hard time. Although their musketeers, musketeers, and shotgunners also caused damage to Zhang Qiang's team, they were all wiped out within two rounds of the battle. There were no less than [-] corpses lying there, some of them were cavalry, most of them were Qing army firearms troops.

The battle was still going on, and Zhang Qiang's firecrackers, which were quite thick in the ranks, fired row after row, making the Qing army's charge like hitting their heads against a wall, causing either death or injury.

Relying on the superiority in numbers, the Qing army stubbornly moved towards Zhang Qiang's troops, outflanked, assaulted, and assaulted again.

The corpses of the Qing army started from 120 meters away from the Jinhua Rebel Army and extended to a place about ten steps away from the Jinhua Rebel Army. Both sides surrounded Zhang Qiang's troops in a fan shape, but they had to retreat in the end.

The infantry retreated, and the cavalry of the Qing army rushed out to prevent the Jinhua rebels from following up.

But this is of no use. There are nearly 2000 firecrackers, plus more than [-] archers and crossbowmen. Bullets and arrows are flying all over the sky, and the cavalry suffered heavy losses.

As the sound of the drums became more and more intense, the Jinhua Rebels left the defensive position in neat steps, striding forward, row after row, like waves, and stopped immediately after shooting a row, loaded gunpowder, and the second The platoon rushed up a few steps, stood in place, regardless of whether the team was neat, fired a volley, then stopped, reloaded the ammunition, and the platoon behind continued to keep up.

The cavalry of the Qing army retreated one after another, and every time they retreated, at least dozens of people fell to the ground.

Raphael said to Pires with a solemn expression, "The Qing army has been defeated."

Pires also sighed, "Yeah, I didn't expect to see a trace of civilization in this barbaric and uncivilized land. It's really surprising. The Qing army is like a group of Indians with big knives." People, and their opponents are like the Spaniards and British in America, who used advanced musket tactics to defeat the Indians wrapped in bark and painted faces."

Rafael said: "I would rather face the Qing army than let my subordinates face an opponent who is on the same level as us."

Pires shook his head, "No, at least, their muskets are not as advanced as ours, let's see, their muskets are still slightly behind the muskets we sold to the Qing and Ming armies, although they seem to be well trained Work hard and achieve the firing efficiency of two rounds within 3 minutes, but this is too slow. Our excellent soldiers can do three rounds in three minutes, and ordinary soldiers can also do two and a half rounds in three minutes. If we fight with us, They must suffer, besides, we have warships and cannons."

Just as the two of them were talking, Zhang Qiang's entire army had already dented the Qing army's large army. Archers on both wings, spearmen, and crossbow archers rushed forward one after another, fighting with the scattered Qing army. A small phalanx with the general flag as the mainstay, under the protection of the sword players, stood there and fired freely towards the outside to help the comrades in other troops fighting outside.

On the main battlefield, Zhang Qiang's Chinese army was inseparable from the enemy's large army. Zhang Qiang's Jinhua rebel army had the upper hand, and the Qing army fought hard. On the secondary battlefield, Xuanyuan Longfei's two thousand rebel troops attacked the camp together. The [-] Qing army fought inextricably, and on the other side of the battlefield, the [-] Qing army killed the [-] rebels and ran around.

If Chen Hanhui hadn't led a part of the rebel army to resist in the corner, it would have been breached.

Fan Shaozu and his personal guards were also caught in a fight, unable to escape. Although Zhang Qiang's cavalry was small, he was a cunning wolf. Seeing the opportunity, he suddenly turned around behind the Qing army and attacked Fan Shaozu's personal soldiers guard.

A loud trumpet sounded, and all the troops disbanded their formation and rushed forward, launching a desperate attack on the Qing army.

The Qing army was in chaos immediately, and there was no more fighting spirit.

Zhang Qiang's cavalry guards, led by Zhang Qiang, passed through the chaotic battlefield, and went straight to the cavalry unit of the Qing army fighting Zhang Qiang's cavalry behind.

A volley of guns rang out, and the cavalry units of the Qing army fell off their horses one after another. "Kill," Zhang Qiang personally brandished a saber and led a guard of 150 cavalrymen to rush towards the place where the enemy's cavalry was most dense.

There was a sound of weapons colliding and horses neighing. Zhang Qiang's cavalry guards were killed from the enemy's cavalry. There were 150 of the 120 people left, and nearly 200 of the enemy fell from their horses.

If it weren't for the fact that the Qing army still had the numerical advantage, the enemy might have collapsed this time.

"Kill," Zhang Qiang once again led the cavalry towards the opponent, this time the enemy also became ruthless, more than 300 cavalry threw away Zhang Qiang's cavalry unit and rushed towards Zhang Qiang's personal guard cavalry.

Just when the enemy cavalry thought they could wipe out Zhang Qiang's mere 120 guards with one blow, Zhang Qiang suddenly took out the short-fired guns hanging on the saddle. At a distance of thirty or forty steps, 120 short-fired guns were used. As soon as the enemy fell off his horse, seven or 80 people fell into chaos.

Throwing away the short fire blunderbuss, by charging, 120 cavalrymen once again charged into the enemy's cavalry team with sabers.

This time, nearly [-] cavalrymen were beheaded again.

Zhang Qiang's guards chased the fleeing enemy cavalry forward. This time, only ten guard cavalry fell to their horses and died, and a dozen were injured. However, the shock to the enemy was no less than the first assault. More than 100 people After rushing into the cavalry team of thousands of people, after beheading 200 people, only more than 30 people were lost and rushed out.

"Boom boom boom" rushed into the enemy cavalry, there was another bang, and then there was the sound of weapons colliding.

Zhang Qiang's figure shook again and again on the horse, and Zhang Qiang let out painful cries again and again, but he still held back and rushed out. This time, there were 90 people left, and the other cavalry units were only left. There were more than 100 people, and they moved closer to Zhang Qiang's cavalry unit one after another, making Zhang Qiang's cavalry unit reach 200 troops at a time.

"Kill again..." Zhang Qiang endured the severe pain in his body, held the knife in his right hand, pulled the reins, and drew out the third firecracker with his left hand, and rushed towards the enemy's cavalry with his left hand held high.

More than 190 cavalry followed him and rushed towards the enemy's cavalry.

Another burst of firecrackers sounded, and the saber was swung again. More than 300 enemy cavalry fell off their horses. This time, the enemy cavalry retreated, and many cavalry on the edge of the battlefield turned around and ran away.

It's too tragic. It's the first time they have fought such a tragic exchange of people for people. Who can bear it again and again.

"Come again—" Zhang Qiang's shout resounded through the ground.
