Beiyang new warlord

After all, I have stayed at the top of the East Communist Party. The difference between Dongjiang's infantry guns and carbine guns lies in the length of the gun barrel. In terms of range, the carbine gun is also a bit shorter than the rifle. The longer it is, the more this weapon will be.

Moreover, Yuan Chonghuan did not have a steam machine tool like Mao Jue, so he couldn't drill out the rifling of his subordinates' guns, but he spent a lot of effort to imitate the Dongjiang gun barrel to drill out the rifling. Accuracy has also increased, with a barrel of 250 meters, the effective kill is as high as 300 meters to [-] meters.

So painstaking, just for a crucial shot on the battlefield, don’t say that assassinating the opponent’s coach is a dirty trick! The king is the one who can stand and laugh until the end! If there is a chance to get rid of Li Zicheng, Yuan Chonghuan will definitely use any means! Regardless of the consequences!

Unfortunately, it seems that with the improvement of status, King Li Chuang, who took the lead in the charge, also began to stand up. Under the cover of several large shields, Yuan Chonghuan stood up to meet him. There were about thirty steps away from each other, and the clerk with a stubborn face clasped his fists and bowed with a smile.

"My official, Niu Jinxing, a bachelor of government under the king's account, pays homage to Governor Yuan!"

This title obviously disappointed Yuan Chonghuan, but he didn't show it much on his face. Looking at the smiling face of the other party, he shouted in a deep voice with a little annoyance.

"Fortunately, you are also a scholar! Abandon etiquette and loyalty, and commit yourself to being a thief! What face do you have to talk eloquently in front of me?"

"Why not! Qin lost its deer, and all the princes of the world chased it! This world is originally home to the virtuous! 300 years ago, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was not a traitor in the Yuan court? Yuan Dushi, look Next to you, look at the people on the opposite side. Didn’t they rise up because they were cornered by the court and couldn’t survive? Superintendent! Daming has lost his virtue! It’s time for the country to change color!”

Naturally, Niu Jinxing wasn't given the position of the Shoufu University Scholar, which is equivalent to breaking into the army. Facing Yuan Chonghuan's disdainful questioning, he raised his head and laughed while talking.

"My King Chuang started in the early days! But it was the Ziwei star who was born with a special nature! He has led the people to overcome difficulties for many years, and spread the virtues. Now he has 200 million soldiers and tens of millions of people. It is time to bravely shoulder the heavy burden of the world! "

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in! Master Yuan is not easy to kill, why bother to lose his life here because of Zhu Ming who is blowing his sleeves! The prince of my family said that as long as the supervisor surrenders, the officials can choose at will. After the world is ruled in the future, It is no problem to seal the borders of the lands!"

Yuan Chonghuan was a little stunned at this meeting. In a country of etiquette, when the two armies are at war, it is common practice for the messengers of both sides to be polite first, but he really did not expect that Li Zicheng would actually surrender to himself, the governor of the three sides. Why should he?

After being stunned for a moment, a sneer appeared on Yuan Chonghuan's face, and he laughed and cursed loudly in a high-spirited voice.

"Government of virtue? Sweeping across the land like locusts, killing people for food, coercing the people to follow thieves, you have the audacity to speak of virtue? From a certain point of view, Li Chuang is nothing more than a big thief!"

"On the contrary, you, following Li Chuang, went against the grain, destroyed the country, and displaced people. If you surrendered early today, you would still be a good citizen and live in peace. If you continue to be obsessed, blood will flow everywhere, and you will end up in a different place!"

As he said that, Yuan Chonghuan had already pulled the rein of the horse and turned around. He had seen him let go of nearly [-] Chuangjun family members, and thought that Yuan Chonghuan also had his intention to surrender, but he did not expect that his determination to fight was so firm, and he made a fool of himself. , Niu Jinxing also clenched his fists resentfully, and walked away, the bloody battle between the two sides was about to break out.

After returning to the camp, Yuan Chonghuan gave orders again hastily and loudly.

"Niu Chenghu, Liu Guiai! You two cavalry are in the formation. Without the order of the governor, you are not allowed to go out lightly. Gao Jie, you rush forward in the infantry formation to resist the intruders attacking the Bai Guangen car artillery battalion. The intruders must attack from the road in front of Lushan County. , whichever unit comes to attack, attack that unit directly, each army sticks to the camp, and anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed!"

In the anxious order, the generals from all walks of life took orders one after another and spread them out in a hurry, but Yuan Chonghuan's entire army formation was completely in a defensive formation.

During the turmoil of the flag, the Chuangjun also came out. Li Zicheng's most famous tactic is the three walls. The first step is to line up the horses and move forward. The former looks back, and the latter kills it! Heavy The shocking sound was like the sky falling apart, and as Yuan Chonghuan expected, along the wide official road from north to south in front of Lushan City, the Chuangjun cavalry took the lead in killing out of the Chuangying Zhongjun.

The expansion of Li Zicheng's power over the past few years has been directly reflected on the cavalry. The first few rows simply wore heavy armor from the army, with wind helmets on their heads, and three-meter-long carbine guns. The establishment of the Nomads moved the nomadic line southward. In order not to repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty, the horse policy implemented by the Ming Dynasty is now just adding wings to the Chuang army. Overwhelmed, they rushed straight to the Qin army's main formation to kill.

It is impossible to say that you are not afraid of that posture. The faces of the soldiers of the Qin army in the front row were ashen, and another one even urinated in fright. A yellow trace spread directly on the crotch, emitting an unpleasant smell. The biggest difference between the tent army is that it is well-organized and has a certain degree of advance and retreat! The orderly officers and soldiers relying on the banner have easily defeated the thief army more than ten times their own, especially Yuan Chonghuan, who was regarded as a teacher of Dongjiang, emphasized this discipline.

"Tribulus formation! Open!"

In the front army, officers from hundreds of households screamed hoarsely, and the officers and soldiers who had been neatly lined up just now quickly retreated, and some hard things were exposed, which were the wooden stakes cut down in front of the deer village. Even with bayonets, Yuan Chonghuan was not stupid enough to use his own infantry to forcibly challenge the cavalry of the invading army. Each hundred households shrank behind three deer villages, forming three triangles. The entire army looked like countless barbed wire protruding for a moment.

Immediately, Yuan Chonghuan also showed Chuang Jun what he had learned from Dongjiang. Facing Chuang Jun who was charging on the official road, more than 200 general and large cannons roared and sprayed out. on the heads of these cavalry.

Mao Jue's artillery emphasizes accuracy first, and ammunition second. However, Yuan Chonghuan didn't learn the accuracy, and he didn't have the capital to equip the army. This weapon, which was only used on the battlefield on a large scale during the American Civil War, did not disappoint him.

The crude gunpowder exploded in mid-air, and the hot iron shotgun balls hit their heads and faces. Amidst the bang sound, those cast iron helmets full of bubble holes could not resist at all, and the rushing cavalry fell to the head as soon as they tilted their heads. He fell down, and immediately hit his own people on their backs. I have never seen an officer and army use such a firearm. The first wave of intruders was beaten blindfolded. At least a thousand riders were knocked off their horses in a round. suffocate.

"Listen to my orders, the bandits can't shoot until they reach eighty paces!"

Walking among the army formations, Gao Jie, the big boss of the four Jiangbei towns of later generations, was also hissing and roaring, but after all, many soldiers were newcomers who only joined the army this year, and their overwhelming momentum had frightened them. They were gone. Before Gao Jie could finish his words, the sergeant in the first row had already pulled the trigger, and there was a burst of crackling gunshots.

In the lingering gunpowder smoke, the momentum was indeed terrifying, but two or three armored cavalrymen who rushed forward did not fall.

Fortunately, it was a three-stage shot. After the first row fired, they had to retreat. Before the second row of gunmen put down their guns and fired, Gao Jie raised his knife and knocked down several muskets in a row. Soldiers, the soldiers at the forefront also let go of their hands to kill, beheading dozens of people before stopping this wave. Each and every musketeer of the Qin Army looked at the corpses of comrades who had lost their heads beside them with beating hearts. Looking at the overwhelming cavalry in front of them, under the heavy pressure, everyone was on the verge of madness.

"shot!"

This sound is really like being pardoned when death is imminent. The second row of bullets is followed by the third row of bullets, and the tight cavalry is like encountering a heavy hammer this time. Countless people fall off their horses. Down.

In the last 30 meters, the already sparse cavalry array was ruthlessly packed into the Qin army's large formation. With a click sound, the chest of the horse hit the deer village, smashing the thing into pieces and throwing the knights on it out. , Some cavalry armored cavalry of the invading army desperately loaded into the formation, piercing two or three to death with spears in hand like piercing candied haws, but the charge stopped abruptly, and did not disrupt the formation of the Qin army.

"Damn it, let me fuck my son of a bitch!"

A small bayonet really brought a huge change to the battlefield. Amidst Gao Jie's nasty yelling, his own soldiers stabbed them with their spears first. Led by the soldiers, layers of bayonets pierced outward like a mountain of knives. Amidst the screams one after another, the Chuangjun was like butter stuck to the fireplace, melting down layer by layer.

Finally, unable to hold on anymore, with a sound of wow, the Chuangjun behind pulled out his horse and walked away smoothly. The Qin army who was holding a bayonet also rushed forward with red eyes, but in the army formation, there was a sound. Hastily clapper.

"Come back, come back to me!"

Some of them were called back, but some of them had already been killed, and followed them with bayonets regardless. However, the cavalry quickly dispersed. .

Li Zicheng's second wall, [-] long spears, stabbed like flying! Amidst the howling roar, sickles, spears, halberds, shovels, all kinds of sharp and rusty long soldiers pierced down the sky and covered the sky, The hundred and ten Qin soldiers who rushed out were thrown to the ground amidst the screams. Some of them turned their heads and ran a few steps, and a dozen weapons were already protruding from their chests with blood.

Facing this Hedgehog Mountain, Gao Jie and the former army commanders also tried their best to drink milk, cursing their mothers and shouting.

"Recharge, shoot!"

After fighting for ten minutes, at any rate, before the second round of attack was imminent, the general's cannon roared again. The gushing shrapnel and the hot bird gun bullets tore through the army's gun array. Once strangled with this remnant formation.

However, Yuan Chonghuan's eyes had already left the formation. Holding the binoculars that Mao Jue gave him, he looked gloomyly towards the mountain. There, the invading cavalry who had just been routed were like monsters, falling apart again. Gathering again, overwhelming the sky once again, and just behind this battle of guns, more ants who broke into the army and dispatched to look for food gathered like ants, countless.

Too much!!!

5Chapter 16. Reefs and raging waves

Amidst the rhythmic sound of horses whistling, the bloody cavalry spear slammed into the face, and the bright red liquid splashed out from both sides of the muzzle like a splashing brook, and screamed in despair, that Qin Jun was really a man, pulling The barrel of the gun gritted his teeth and dragged the Chuangjun who was on the horse to death. As he screamed desperately while holding the gun, the murderous Chuangjun also covered his head with his hands in fear, and was killed by several red-eyed officers. The bayonet came down and stabbed him to death on the spot.

Unable to hold on anymore, once again the cavalry broke into the army and fled like a tide. This time, there was no Lengtouqing to follow up. Lengtouqing had been lying in front of him during the battles of the past few days. an open field.

In the past few days, the Qin army has shown unprecedented resilience beyond any previous army. Despite the superior strength of the Chuang army, they swooped again and again, and they insisted on staying still.

It can be said that the Qin army is an indestructible rock, and the invading army is like a vast ocean with endless tides. The cavalry cavalry who had just repelled the attack were followed by spearmen like the jungle.

"Fire! Fire me! If you delay, I'll kill you!"

He was also so anxious that there was a deep bloody gash on his mouth, and Gao Jie grabbed the artilleryman Baihu's neck behind him and roared with all his strength.

The neck was almost strangled, and the black face was flushed, and the mournful shouts of hundreds of households distinguished: "Master General! The gunpowder is all gone! The little one has already sent someone to move it!"

More than a dozen gunpowder barrels were empty, the soldier ran back to the city in a panic, pulled a trolley full of gunpowder barrels, hurried back again, stood on the wall watching this scene, Yuan Chonghuan's face became gloomy again A few dashes, full of worry.

Dongjiang fought battles like this more than once, and every time Yuan Chonghuan felt very relaxed, as if he had the upper hand, but he didn't feel this difficulty until he was on his own head. There was no way, the logistics were not at the same level.

Several battles of the Japanese kingdom, behind Mao Jue's army was densely packed fleets, canned food, ammunition, bandages, if nothing happened, he went to the sea to catch a fresh fish, and turned back to Dongjiang to get it if there was not enough, the logistics were never broken, but When Yuan Chonghuan really led the army, it had only been three days, and the gunpowder and ammunition were already beyond his means. The army who fought for a whole day with little food could only eat two meals, and the porridge was getting thinner and thinner.

As for the food and gunpowder supplied by Shaanxi, there is no hope at all. Yesterday, the Chuangjun General Liu Zongmin with more than 1 cavalry marched straight to the northwest in front of the entire Qin army.

The back road is also broken.

Qin Jun, who was idle in Lushan County, was almost dead.

"Supervisor!"
