Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Shocking roars, gunshots, shrill screams, the golden sound of violent collision of iron tools, choking smoke, corpses in different shapes on the ground, broken weapons, damaged armor, stained red with blood The vast land formed a tragic war scene.

On the frontal battlefield, although the officers and soldiers in the first defensive phalanx faced the crazy attacks of the rebels coming in like a tide, they benefited from several rounds of fierce shelling from the artillery battalion directly under the Royal First Regiment, which not only caused a lot of damage to the rebels, but also For a time, it blocked the rebels' subsequent continuous charges, which affected the morale of the rebels to a certain extent, and also greatly helped relieve a lot of pressure on the friendly forces.

On the right-wing battlefield, the Baoding Army faced huge pressure from the incoming rebels. Fortunately, the officers commanded them properly and the soldiers fought bravely, blocking the fierce onslaught of the rebels.

The Huguang Army on the left was attacked fiercely by the rebels like an overwhelming mountain. Although the officers and soldiers resisted with all their strength, they were looming and weak. The dense defensive phalanx was forced to retreat a few steps.

Don't underestimate these few steps. They were the result of a fierce fight between soldiers from both sides and thousands of casualties. The rebels had a slight upper hand.

Xu Yu shook his head. He had been taught the tactics of three-stage musket shooting, but no one seemed to pay attention to it. The musketeers in each army were shooting scattered. Although the gunshots were loud and lively, they were not effective. to suppress the crazy attacks of the rebels.

Furthermore, the enemy and we were already fighting hand-to-hand, because the government troops had set up a dense defensive formation. Although the rebel offensive was fierce, they were basically blocked by large shields, and the densely packed rebel troops were squeezed into a big group.

Such a dense target was exactly when grenades were most lethal. I don't know if the officers commanding in front of the formation were stunned or frightened. They didn't even order the soldiers to throw grenades. Instead, they used their backward swords to kill and consume the rebels. The whole damn thing is Dasha.

Xu Yugang wanted to warn him out loud, but Sun Chuanting had already ordered a thousand light cavalry to support the Huguang Army on the left, and he swallowed his words when he reached the border.

Damn Zuo Liangyu, isn't he known as the most capable general? Why was it that he was already defeated as soon as they started fighting?

Sun Chuanting, whose face was a little dark, silently greeted all the eighteen generations of Huguang Commander Zuo Liangyu's ancestors.

It's no wonder that he was so angry that he wanted to kill Zuo Liangyu. In addition to guarding the two wings and preventing the rebel cavalry from attacking the two flanks, the cavalry was also reserved by him for assault and defeat of the rebels, and to chase down the rebel reserves. Now he had to send a thousand light cavalry. Support Zuo Liangyu to stabilize the defense line.

This also means that his reserve team has lost a thousand cavalry, and the assault rebels have lost a strength. Anyone who replaces him as commander will be scolded.

Fortunately, he had an extra hand. The 2,000 grenades supported by the emperor were not distributed to the armies. They were all seized by him and used as a weapon to win by surprise. The bombardiers were 500 strong men with super strong arms drawn from each army. They are now hiding. In the rear line of the Chinese army, waiting for his orders.

Now the war has just begun, and the rebel attack is very fierce. The best time to use the trump card is when the two sides are fighting until the sky is dark and the rebels start to show signs of fatigue.

This also means that the official army will have to hold on for at least a while, and this period of time is also a real big test. All three armies must hold on, otherwise they will be completely ruined.

As for the casualties, to him, they are just a number. One general's achievements lead to thousands of bones being withered, and mercy cannot control the troops. This is what he said.

Boom boom boom——

The gunners of the artillery battalion directly under the Royal First Regiment, which retreated into the formation, set up the cannon as quickly as possible, raised the muzzle elevation, calibrated the coordinates and azimuth, and immediately opened fire.

One after another, the shells roared and fell on the densely charging rebel group, exploding into clouds of fire and billowing smoke. Broken limbs and broken arms were thrown around, causing considerable casualties to the rebels.

The continuous artillery bombardment by the artillery battalion directly under the regiment, in addition to killing a large number of rebel soldiers who are attacking intensively, the most important point is to use intensive artillery fire to build a death blockade, interrupt the continuous continuous offensive of the rebels, and relieve the friendly forces fighting on the front line. huge pressure.

A strange scene appeared on the entire wide battlefield. On the central battlefield, which was originally the focus of the attack, the rebels attacked weakly and suffered huge casualties. On the right battlefield, the Baoding Army resisted the rebels' crazy attack.

On the left battlefield, the Huguang Army, which was originally showing signs of defeat, finally stabilized its position with the support of a thousand cavalry, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

"Command the center to slowly press forward."
