"Three-stage attack, prepare! Fire with all your strength! Release!" Bang bang bang, Qing Yijun's proud 28th style finally started. This is the first time that the bandit has faced Qing Yijun's fire cannon array. Here,

Before, they had never seen the true strength of the new army. Now, it is time to show the true strength of the Qingyi Army.

Almost in an instant, a storm of lead bullets enveloped the charging Daxi Army team. They had just been hit by thunderous thunder cannons from the Tiger Crouching Cannon and the Flying Thunder Cannon. It was just when they were dizzy and suffered heavy losses that the people who got up

They continued to move forward under a huge inertial force, but many people suddenly spun and fell to the ground like kites with broken strings. Bloody flowers exploded on their chests, and many people's backs appeared.

There was a huge bloody hole, and you could even see the body

They fell to the ground and twitched without making a sound, vomiting a large amount of black blood from their mouths, and then became motionless. Not to mention a leaf of armor on these bodies, not even a single piece of clothing could be found.

For the hungry soldiers, only

If the Type 28 bullet hits the torso, it is basically a dead end. The fragmented lead bullet will not give anyone a chance. The fatality rate is equal for everyone. It doesn’t matter whether you are a captain of ten or a hundred.

The captain is still an ordinary bandit and hungry soldier.

Bang bang bang, the firecrackers kept firing, and more and more Daxi Army soldiers fell to the ground. They didn't understand why the officers and soldiers' firearms were so sharp. It seemed that there was no pause. They fired round after round. Among the thieves,

It’s not that there were no surrendered troops from the Ming Dynasty. In Shaanxi and Shanxi, the frontier troops generally used three-eyed blunderbuss, and even the infantry only used three-eyed muskets.

An ordinary bird gun, but even a three-eyed gun, when fired three times, is no different from a fire stick, and the range is very close, only thirty steps away, but now, people are constantly being knocked down a hundred steps away.

It was almost a one-hit kill, and even those who were hit in the limbs lost their combat effectiveness on the spot and turned into wounded soldiers rolling on the ground and wailing.

"Team! There are too many of them. Even if our fire cannons are released at full strength, many people still rush in!" A member of the Hundred Households shouted to Li Fuda. Although the density of people is beneficial to the hit rate of the fire cannon array,

, but there are also inconveniences

, many people unconsciously formed human shields in front, resulting in many bullets hitting one person at the same time. Although Qing Yijun's three-stage attack coordinated like clouds and flowing water, it could not stop the black torrent from slowly moving forward.

Advance.

Zhang Xianzhong's face kept twitching behind the formation. Is this the true strength of the new imperial army? It turned out to be fire cannons? A large number of fire cannons were fired. Zhang Xianzhong was also a man who had experienced hundreds of battles. The first round of cannons sounded on the city wall.

when the sound

, Zhang Xianzhong didn’t take it to heart. It was normal for officers and soldiers to have firearms. After fighting for so many years, he only encountered one or two officers and soldiers with firearms in Shaanxi. However, firearms are not as useful as bows and arrows for Zhang Xianzhong.

, after all, the quality of Daming firearms was really poor. Zhang Xianzhong didn't take it seriously at first when he heard the sound of gunfire at the top of the city. But when he saw the situation in front of him through the telescope, he realized that things were different from what he imagined.

There's a big difference. The opposite side is basically a force that mainly uses firearms. The more he hears the sound of gunfire from the top of the city, the more Zhang Xianzhong's heart sinks. What? Can their fireguns be fired continuously? How can they not fight?

stop?

With this doubt, what he saw was that the 100,000 hungry soldiers in front who had been baptized by flying thunder cannons were hit head-on by fire cannons. Zhang Xianzhong couldn't figure out what the secret of the opponent's fire cannons was, and why.

It can last for such a long time. This round of fire cannons are released. Is it possible that there are ten thousand fire cannon soldiers on it? But it is impossible. How can a small Tongcheng County accommodate this?

With so many soldiers and horses, even 10,000 musketry soldiers cannot be deployed at the top of the city. In theory, their rate of fire cannot be that fast. Zhang Xianzhong was puzzled, but whether he could figure it out was no longer important.

Now, what he should be concerned about now is how to solve the current thorny problem. Because every time he delays a cup of tea, a large number of soldiers will be killed by the firepower of the city.

Due to the heat dissipation problem of the flying thunder cannon, Tao Zong had no choice but to stop the attack of the flying thunder cannon and the tiger crouching cannon after reaching the maximum rate of fire. Of course, this round of rapid fire caused at least 20,000 casualties to the enemy.

Casualties, this can be said to be the best record of the flying thunder cannon since its inception. Of course, Tao Zong never expected that the bandits would be so careless about human life, as if these charging soldiers were just the lowest level of ants, their lives were basically

It's not life.

Ma Jingliang saw the corpses piling up under the city. He couldn't help clenching his fists. This is the nature of thieves. They can't bring happiness and stability to the people of Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, they only bring death and killing. The corpses piling up under the city are

The best proof is that perhaps these people were ordinary people living a normal life one day ago, but now they are

Turned into cold corpses, are they so willing to be driven by the bandits? Most of them must be ordinary people who were kidnapped. If the bandits capture Anqing Guard, does that mean that the people of Anqing Guard will also become like this?

A meaningless corpse, no, he would never let this happen. In this case, he could only use all his strength to eliminate the stray thieves.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, will our troops..." A general rode up to Zhang Xianzhong and said worriedly to Zhang Xianzhong. According to his understanding of the Daxi Army, the hungry soldiers were not regular soldiers or veteran soldiers.

, their fighting will is not so strong. Basically, if they lose more than half, they will collapse immediately. From the current situation on the battlefield

Looking at the situation, not to mention the loss of more than half, the loss of 100,000 men was at least 30%. In just two or three quarters of an hour, 30,000 men were lost. When had the Great Western Army suffered such a heavy loss? But not only

Just like that, seeing the faint signs of collapse of the hungry soldiers in front, he couldn't help but anxiously came to Zhang Xianzhong to remind him.

A sharp look came over, Zhang Xianzhong gave him a cold look, and the general immediately shut his mouth and remained silent. He knew that when Zhang Xianzhong showed this look, it meant that he was about to become ruthless. Zhang Xianzhong is indeed a ruthless person.

, he already regretted that he had easily invaded Anqing Guard without inquiring about the situation of the New Army. He was seriously ill-prepared for intelligence collection and was not able to do so at all.

He didn't know why the New Army's combat effectiveness was so strong, and what he dared not think about the most was that the New Army clearly showed weakness at Luzhen Pass and Beixia Pass. It had such powerful artillery fire and blunderbuss, but it was so easy to defeat them without using them.

The abandonment of Luzhen Pass and Beixia Pass was clearly an opportunity for Zhang Xianzhong to enter the Anqing Guard, and bombing the city was just a way to anger Zhang Xianzhong, so what were they going to do? Could it be said?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes scanned the battlefield like a hawk. The last thing he wanted to think about was the possibility that the new army deliberately lured the enemy deep into the army, angered himself, and allowed him to lead the troops to kill Tongcheng.

They arranged an ambush around them. "Go and find Li Dingguo quickly. I have something to ask." Zhang Xianzhong said to his general.

After a while, Li Dingguo, who was supervising the battle at the front, hurried over. He had already seen signs that something was wrong. Even if Zhang Xianzhong didn't call him, he would come back to report his opinion. "Your Majesty, are you looking for the general?"

Before the battle, Li Dingguo still called Zhang Xianzhong the king. Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said: "Dingguo, I always feel that something is wrong with this battle. The opponent's strength is somewhat beyond our imagination." Zhang Xianzhong rarely could.

Saying such words was tantamount to admitting in disguise that he underestimated the enemy's advance and underestimated the enemy's strength. Li Dingguo was still young. Although his intelligence was superior, his character still needed to be polished. He immediately answered: "Your Majesty, the same is true for the last general.

I believe that the opponent's fire cannon array is very different from the officers and soldiers in other parts of the Ming Dynasty. If we charge so hard, even if we hit the city, we will have to pay half of our casualties, and..."

"And what?" Zhang Xianzhong asked. "We may have fallen into a trap!" Li Dingguo whispered. "Ah!" Zhang Xianzhong's face was a little pale, and he asked Li Dingguo: "What basis do you have for this view?" "Your Majesty.

, let’s start from Dalu Zhenguan and Beixiaguan, don’t you think

Has this journey been too smooth? In other words, except for falling into the opponent's plan to bomb the city in Guancheng, we have not actually fought against the opponent. Since they have such powerful firearms, why did they attack Lu Zhenguan and Beixia

Do you want to shut it down? Is this a deliberate sign of weakness on their part?"

That's it, that's it. I didn't expect that Li Dingguo actually saw it this way. If this idea was just Zhang Xianzhong's, it wouldn't mean anything. But since Li Dingguo also saw it this way, Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth, fearing that it was true.

"Go on," Zhang Xianzhong said.

Li Dingguo pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there are ambushes around. We are attacking the city. If the prediction is correct, the opponent will definitely kill a group of people while we are in the midst of attacking the city, and cooperate with the soldiers in the city to defeat us." Zhang

offer

Zhongqing couldn't help but look around the army. There was no movement of the army in the endless plain, but Zhang Xianzhong had an indescribable feeling, as if somewhere, there was an army staring at him eagerly.

"What do you think we should do?"

"Your Majesty, the general thinks that there can be no chaos now. Let the tens of thousands of people attacking the city continue to attack the city. They are all hungry soldiers anyway. We still have an army of 150,000 behind us. Plus my 10,000, we will immediately guard the surrounding areas.
