Chapter 392 Bloody Battle of Chishui
Having just crossed the Chishui River, General Zhou's face was unusually solemn. It was time for his own performance. Of course he knew what he was going to face and did not dare to slack off at all. He immediately organized his troops to form an array.
Seeing the 10,000 people who had crossed over, Sun Chuanting breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still no trace of relaxation on his face. His eyes were looking into the distance. It was almost time to arrive. As soon as Sun Chuanting finished his thoughts, the person on the other side thought of Longlong.
There was the sound of horse hooves, and thousands of cavalry were walking at the front. Although they were not uniform, no one dared to look down upon them.
An Bangyan, who was sitting on his horse, looked at the Ming troops lined up. Ming troops kept coming on the bridge, with a proud smile on his face. He came just in time, waved behind him, and said loudly:
"Charge forward! Annihilate the Ming army."
When the soldiers on both sides heard the order from their king, they naturally did not dare to neglect, and they all rushed towards the Ming army. Naturally, it was impossible for all 80,000 people to rush in. Only 20,000 people rushed over, and the people behind them
As time goes by, it will naturally come up.
Seeing the rebels rushing over, there was no trace of cowardice on General Zhou's face, but a somewhat mocking smile. With such a strategy and thoughts like yours, you still dare to show off your sword in front of the commander. You are really alive.
Tired of it.
Instructing his soldiers not to move, General Zhou laughed loudly and said: "We are watching the fun now and are all ready. We will follow this general to make contributions later. Listen to me! I have issued a military order in front of the commander-in-chief.
, who dares to offend me, don’t blame me for being rude!"
Naturally, the people around General Zhou Shen were all his trusted generals. When their commander said this, they naturally laughed and agreed. Facing the rebels who were several times their size, there was no trace of cowardice on the faces of these people.
, but full of joy.
Sun Chuanting on the other side is looking here. He is holding a telescope in his hand, one eye is closed, and he is carefully observing the opposite side. Sun Chuanting likes this product of the firearms factory very much, and rarely takes it out on weekdays.
"Tell the gunner, if anyone hits his brother with a cannon, then cut off his own head!" Sun Chuanting put away the telescope and looked back at the general behind him. This person is responsible for commanding the firearms battalion.
But now I am managing the gunners.
"Commander! Just watch!" The man bowed respectfully, turned around and ran away!
Not long after, with the sound of a cannon, a bomb fell on the opposite bank of the river. It exploded in the rebel camp, and several people were immediately thrown into the sky, with their flesh and blood flying everywhere.
She Chongming frowned when he saw this scene. However, he did not say anything. He knew in his heart that this was a test bomb of the Ming army. I am afraid that next time it will not be one, but an overwhelming cannonball.
She Chongming had no good way to deal with the Ming army's artillery, except to use human lives. If he couldn't annihilate the Ming army here, and waited until they crossed the river and set up their formation, there would be no need to fight this battle!
Although the rebels were blown away by a cannonball, they didn't have much scruples in their hearts. After all, they had fought so many battles with the Ming army. They had already seen the artillery. That's all. It was quite scary at the beginning, really.
The fight was not that good. As long as we and the Ming army fought together, there would be no artillery and there would be no city here.
Looking at the rebels who were running faster, General Zhou had a cruel smile on his face. He held the big knife in his hand with a little more strength.
When we were still half a mile away from the Ming army's position, we once again remembered the sound of artillery on the other side. This time it was no longer a single artillery piece, but the continuous sound of artillery. One hundred and fifty artillery pieces were firing continuously.
Smoke suddenly filled the entire Chishui River.
Following the sound of the first explosion, the explosions of artillery shells continued uninterrupted, and they were all explosive shells. Each shell could kill several people, and some even killed more than a dozen people.
Seeing the rebels who were not covered in smoke, General Zhou laughed loudly and shouted loudly: "The Shenji Battalion is ready. If there are any rebels who rush over, shoot them all!"
The Shenji Battalion, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately took up their muskets. They were no longer using old-fashioned muskets, but the latest firearms from the firearms factory. Although they still used round iron ball bullets, they had used gravel
It's on fire! The rate of fire and range are much better than the original shotgun. Only three thousand people in the entire Ming Dynasty were equipped with this kind of gun. Two thousand people are here, and another thousand people are on the other side, guarding Sun Chuanting.
around.
I brought it here for actual combat to test the usability of the gun, but since the war started, General Zhou has fallen in love with this kind of gun. Unless he is a fast cavalry like Jiannu, it will be difficult for him to rush over. But now I
With only 2,000 people, it is still impossible to withstand the impact of tens of thousands of people.
For a moment, there was the roar of artillery, bursts of gunfire, and screams one after another along the Chishui River.
"Let brothers cross the river quickly, leave some people here to guard the baggage, and the rest will go over. You don't want General Zhou to take the credit, right? The leaders of the rebels are all on the opposite side, go and take the credit!" Sun Chuanting
Looking at the several generals behind him who were eager to try, he said with a smile on his face.
Several people clasped their fists at Sun Chuanting and left with their own soldiers, loudly greeting the people and horses to cross the river.
Although the artillery fire was fierce, the coverage was limited after all, and the rebels on the opposite side quickly rushed up. However, the effect was also very obvious, leaving at least tens of thousands of corpses on the way to the charge.
Looking at the broken limbs in front of him, An Bangyan felt that his heart was bleeding, and his eyes suddenly turned blood red. Obviously this was beyond his expectation, and he vowed in his heart to destroy this Ming army. Bu Duan
He waved his hand to let the soldiers behind him rush forward. An Bangyan also knew that if he retreated here, his end would be coming.
She Chongming's face on one side was also ugly. He could see that the morale on his side had dropped. If An Bangyan hadn't sent people to watch from behind, I'm afraid the retreat had already begun. Once a big rout occurred, these 80,000 troops would
It fell apart. I had suffered such losses in Sichuan.
Seeing that the soldiers were still rushing forward, She Chongming breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he fought with the Ming army. There were many people on his side, and his hope of winning was very high.
"Old Zhou, you can't be more pretentious this time. Brothers are coming!" When General Zhou was about to take action, several generals walked down the bridge. All 20,000 Ming troops had already crossed over.
The floating bridge.
"It's useless for you to come. The enemy chief's head must belong to me, Old Zhou!" Zhou Shenjiang was naturally unconvinced. He waved the big knife in his hand and said loudly.
Several people looked at each other, and one of them smiled and said: "The commander is watching from behind. Let's compete today. Whoever can behead the enemy chief will get the credit. From now on, everyone will let him be the leader, how about it?"
"Okay! Who is afraid of whom!" All the generals had high morale and encouraged their generals and soldiers.
"Brothers, charge forward! Today is the day to make great achievements!" Zhou Shenjiang shouted and rushed forward to face the rebels.
The few people around did not show weakness, and everyone rushed forward with their own troops. The Ming army was so powerful that the shouts of killing were loud.
Several generals did not lead a melee with the rebels. They all knew in their hearts that there were fewer people on their side, so they must capture the thief first. Several of them wanted to shoot the enemy chief in the head, but no one was willing to follow others.
later.
For a time, the Ming army was everywhere, and several teams rushed forward with only one target, An Bangyan behind the military formation.
Although there were many rebels, the Ming army did not want to fight with them. They rushed forward while slashing and killing. Soon they rushed two miles away and were only one mile away from An Bangyan.
Seeing the Ming army rushing over in several directions, She Chongming felt bitter in his heart. He was too familiar with this tactics. He was defeated in this way. If he retreated, the morale of the army would definitely be in chaos, and a big rout would not be far away. If he didn't retreat,
, I’m afraid the Ming army will rush over soon!
Some rebels saw the Ming army rushing over, but they did not follow. They saw that there were many Ming troops on the opposite side, and countless rebels rushed towards the pontoon. Opposite was the Ming army's camp, and there were not many people there. Well,
Everything is there!
Sun Chuanting looked at the opposite side with his binoculars and kept nodding. These people had experienced hundreds of battles. These people under him were very elite, but the rebels opposite were far behind. Their equipment and quality were not at the same level.
superior.
If you fight with them in a melee, there are too few people on your side, and even the elite cannot help but consume so much. If they go on a rampage, the rebels will not be able to trap them. If they can capture the thief first, then the battle will be won.
.
Seeing someone rushing towards him, Sun Chuanting was quite surprised. Do these people have any brains? He waved to the messengers beside him, and Sun Chuanting said casually: "Let the remaining Shenji battalion go over and clear the bridge.
All the rebels have been cleared."
There was no expression on the face of the messenger, and he respectfully replied: "Yes, Marshal!" He turned around and left!
The rebels had already seen the Ming army's camp and Sun Chuanting standing by the river. Many people's faces showed joy and they couldn't help but quicken their pace. But before their smiles disappeared, there was a sound from the shore.
The explosion sounded like a gunshot. The rebels who rushed to the front suddenly burst into flames, and several of them were bleeding, with white smoke rising from them.
His face was full of disbelief, and he fell down towards the bridge. For a moment, the rebels on the bridge were like cut wheat, falling to the ground one after another.
When the rebels behind saw this scene, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran back. There were still people behind who rushed forward, and there was a congestion. The pontoon was shaking constantly, and countless people were squeezed into the river. In the water
After a few waves, he disappeared.
