Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

It has to be said that Liu Fangliang did not announce to the entire battalion that Zhu Youjian had fled Beijing, which created the greatest opportunity for Zhu Youjian.

Taking advantage of the panic of the intruders, Zhu Youjian ordered the entire army to ride on cattle and horses, dragging hundreds of artillery pieces, and rushed for more than two miles.

There are only eight miles left to the Baoding City Wall!

At this moment, a torrent suddenly rushed out of the invading army besieging Baoding and swept towards the Ming army.

The smoke and dust raised by the cavalry were like a sandstorm, rushing towards the Ming army.

The thundering sound of horse hooves is like the muffled thunder in midsummer, making people's eardrums buzz.

The ground began to tremble!

Zhu Youjian looked around and saw the general's flag on the opposite side with a surprisingly clear vision.

I saw a huge "Guo" written on the triangular flag in the center.

The invading army came with force, as if they were like huge waves hitting the beach, trying to wipe out the Ming army in one wave.

"The general's surname is Guo. Who is this?" Zhu Youjian asked.

Niu Chenghu said to Zhu Youjian with a dark face and gritted teeth: "These are the troops of Guo Sheng, Li Zicheng's confidant."

Seeing the cavalry approaching quickly, Niu Chenghu suggested: "Your Majesty, do you want to hold on in a circular formation?"

The Fifth Battalion of Gezuo did not reject the idea of ​​surrendering to the Ming Dynasty. Most of the generals of the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo were low-level officers of the Ming army who had no ambitions. The main force was mainly cavalry. Their political tendency has always been to recruit troops.

In the spring of 14, the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo collectively accepted the surrender of eunuch Yang Zhuoran, and tens of thousands of people were disarmed and returned to their fields.

Unexpectedly, we encountered severe drought, locust plague, and plague, and there was no food to eat.

In addition, the Hui merchant landlords were short-sighted and refused to provide relief. Even the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo used money to buy food at high prices, but no one sold them grain.

Tongcheng officials and gentry also threatened to starve all the Henan people in the fifth camp of Gezuo to death.

The Fifth Battalion of Gezuo had no choice but to attack bandit villages everywhere in order to obtain food and grass. However, it was a drop in the bucket. The surrounding large families in the south of the Yangtze River united and refused to sell food.

In desperation, the fifth battalion of Gezuo had no choice but to rebel again.

Not long after that, Yuan Shizhong of the [-]th Gezuo Battalion once again wanted to surrender, but was killed by Li Zicheng. Later, Li Zicheng killed He Yilong and others, and robbed the soldiers and horses of the [-]th Gezuo Battalion...

Niu Chenghu, who was born in the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, was not averse to surrender.

Coupled with Zhu Youjian's lack of conscience, he completely surrendered to Niu Chenghu.

Seeing Niu Chenghu asking seriously, Zhu Youjian chuckled and said:

"Transform into a square formation, with the tiger crouching cannon in front, Wu Guang behind, and three hundred musketeers holding shields placed in between.

Arrange the carts on the remaining three sides for defense, and arrange the gunmen to mount the carts to kill the enemies behind them. The pikemen and spearmen are placed in between to guard against the cavalry charging into the formation.

In addition, there are two unconscionable doors in each of the four corners to contain loose objects. "

Seeing that the emperor came up in a desperate formation, Niu Chenghu frowned: "Your Majesty, are you going to fight directly?"

According to his idea, they should form a circular formation, forming a hedgehog, and use the frightening and heartless cannon to form a camp and let Guo Sheng come and knock it off.

With that kind of grotesque and powerful heartlessness, Guo Sheng's army will definitely suffer a bloody blow.

As long as they plant a shadow of fear in Guo Sheng's heart and dare not attack again, they will be able to approach Baoding City...

Zhu Youjian shook his head. Although the power of the heartless artillery was great, the consumption of this kind of artillery was too great, and the life of the artillery was not good. Once a wheel battle or a siege war formed, it would be all over.

What's more, he doesn't have long-range artillery in his hands. Once he is surrounded by the invaders, he refuses to fight, and then uses large artillery to attack from a distance...

How many rounds of bombardment can these 1000 people withstand?

Just in time, Guo Sheng pressed forward with a large army and attacked fiercely as soon as he came up - then he would use this person to establish his authority!

Using the strongest firepower to cripple Guo Sheng's troops will create a psychological shock to all the intruders.

As long as they use the rat weapon, Baoding will be saved.

……

Zhu Youjian secretly cursed: This Guo Shengwei is really ridiculous!

To cut down a city, I don’t even need 6 people.

I only need 60 people to cut down Xincheng County...

You Guo Sheng only have [-] soldiers, how dare you come and let me kill you?

I can cut it off with just one hand...

……

Zhu Youjian said in a deep voice: "Follow my orders and we will fight to a quick victory!"

Niu Chenghu nodded and made arrangements loudly.

The Ming army was no stranger to vehicle battles, and the Qi Jiajun later optimized a van with a wooden board on one side and the ability to connect the front and rear.

Soon, the soldiers pushed the large vehicles to their proper positions, and installed compartment panels on the outside, connecting them front and rear. The musketeers climbed on and stood in the carriages ready to shoot, while the pikemen stood between the vehicles. In the gap between them, they are ready.

Each artillery piece was placed in place according to Zhu Youjian's arrangement.

Whether it is the Heartless Cannon or the Crouching Tiger Cannon, they only weigh a few dozen kilograms, and any soldier can carry them with one hand and run.

In a short time, the Ming army formed a formation.

Guo Sheng's troops were less than a mile away from them.

Zhu Youjian squinted his eyes and looked at Chuang Jun who was arranging his team, and he suddenly realized that Guo Sheng had the same plan as him.

come on!

Zhu Youjian shouted secretly:

Let me try to see how difficult it is to cut with your knife!

……

Beside, Niu Chenghu's palms were full of sweat.

Although he had already tasted the horror of heartless cannons, when he saw the [-] troops rushing towards him, he was still so nervous that he broke out in cold sweat.

As a veteran, he could see through Guo Sheng's plan at a glance. This guy was not going to test them. He was going to use the cavalry to break down their formation, and then let the infantry behind them cover up and kill them.

This is to accomplish all the results in one battle!

Can you keep it?

Niu Chenghu was not sure...

Zhu Youjian dismounted his horse and ordered loudly:

"The tiger crouching cannon directly in front is loaded with loose powder, and fires twice intermittently. It fires in three stages. The firepower must be uninterrupted."

"The heartless cannon at the back is loaded with loose powder. It also fires in three stages. Each gun crosses each other and divides the area. It aims at the place where the enemy is the most and then fires!"

"Firegunners and archers, no matter how many enemies are in front, just shoot at the enemies that slip through the net and rush within fifty steps!"

"The shield bearers are all covered!"

……

"Boom!"

The sound of war horses trampling the earth is like thunder in midsummer, shaking people's hearts.

Guo Sheng's infantry had already followed. He drove the entire cavalry team and began to trot.

The speed of the war horse became faster and faster, from a trot to a run-up, and then to a full sprint.

"All the ministries will follow my orders and rush in to crush Emperor Ming to death!"

Guo Sheng roared.

The big banner hand beside him suddenly shook the huge flag, and then tilted his front finger.

This was the signal for the entire army to charge.

"rush!"

"Kill!"

"dash forward!"

……

The speed of the cavalry is extremely fast!

The eight thousand cavalrymen turned from a line into a red torrent, like a wave, rushing towards the only stone barrier on the shore!

……

Zhu Youjian squinted his eyes and felt his heart beating into his throat.
