Chapter 39 Thunderbolt

"The Dashun Cavalry is here!"

The momentum was like a riding a tiger, and Yu Wan didn't care much about it, so he quickly rushed to the pile of rocks next to him and hid.

But the group of cavalry was not afraid at all. They were all ready to try, their faces full of fighting!

The heroic young man shouted in a deep voice, "Design the formation!"

As soon as the order was reached, the 300 people took action and took their own positions. First, dozens of shield players lined up, then more than one hundred long gunners were behind, and the remaining more than one hundred short gunners sat high on the horse's back, holding the trigger in his hand and staring at the front with a solemn expression.

It was such a group of strange people. I heard that the arrival of the peasant army was like a chicken blood, but Yu Wan was too lazy to investigate the story behind it. It would be best if someone helped to block and kill the enemy.

As the sound of horse hooves became closer, Yu Wan's heart also rose to his throat. Although this mysterious team was well equipped, the bandits were numerous and powerful, and they were dozens of times more powerful than him. He was unsure of how long it could last.

But now there are obstacles in front and pursuers behind, so he has to wait for the change.

Soon, Shunjun rushed to the front with the wolf smoke! The overwhelming cavalry rushed into the canyon like a flood. However, after a few breaths, their originally fierce and ferocious eyes were quickly replaced by fear!

Where did the Muskets come from?!

At this moment, gunfire sounded loudly in the canyon, and muskets kept spraying with rage. Bullets rushed towards the bandit army like raindrops. The peasant army suddenly turned over and screamed repeatedly. The first wave of attacks knocked down fifty or sixty people.

Such a sudden ambush caught the peasant army off guard, but the canyon was very narrow. Even though the person in front wanted to turn the horse's head, he was pushed to the front by the friendly troops behind him.

Taking advantage of the long gunner loading ammunition, the short gunner behind immediately relayed. Since the range was only fifty or sixty steps, these gunners aimed extremely accurately and basically shot without any bullets. For a moment, the cavalry was killed and countless people were trampled to death!

Most of the elite troops of the Shun Army were dispatched on the front line, and the remaining peasant troops were mobs. They chose the former pragmatically in front of their lives and achievements. They left behind the bodies of more than 200 companions and then scattered the birds and beasts, and fled.

The battle ended in an understatement. Yu Wan has not come back to his senses yet. In his opinion, this is a nude massacre. Although the number of people is very different, cold weapons have no power to fight back in front of muskets!

Today's battle changed Yu Wan's mood greatly and further strengthened his determination to establish the new army.

"Chen Hui, you can lead people to clean the battlefield. You should not stay in the right and wrong place for a long time. We must leave here as soon as possible and strive to arrive in Huguang tonight."

The leader jumped down from the horse's back and slowly approached Chao Yu Wan and the others. After seeing the power of the group, Zhu Cizhao was also extremely frightened and hurriedly hid behind Yu Wan with trembling.

"Who are you? Why did the peasant army chase after you so much?"

This mysterious unit is fierce in combat and well-equipped. Although its origin is unknown, it is definitely not Li Zicheng's person. The most important thing is that their destination for traveling is Huguang Province and Ximing's territory. Could it be that they have any connection with the Ming army?

Anyway, there is no way to escape now, so it’s better to try it!

Yu Wan thought to himself and said lightly, "Listen, I am Yu Wan, the doctor of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty."

"What, are you a doctor in the Ministry of War?"

The young man's face changed, and a light flashed across his eyes.

Yu Wanquan looked at his expression and said in his heart: I was right!

He narrowed his eyes slightly, pointed to Zhu Cizhao behind him and said, "This is the fourth son of Mr. Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Your Highness Yong!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was shocked. Chen Hui, who had been extremely arrogant before, was even more stunned and petrified on the spot!

I have long heard that the fourth son of the emperor is in Xinyang area. They deliberately chose the way to go here, just to find the lost Your Highness, but they didn't expect to meet him like this.

These three people were able to alarm so many peasant soldiers to arrest them, and the teenager was indeed somewhat similar to the fourth son in the portrait.

The leader no longer hesitated and quickly led the team to kneel down on one knee and said, "The last general Zhao Xunchang will meet the Fourth Prince!"

This sudden kneeling made Zhu Cizhao confused. He was still worried about his life just now, but why did he suddenly have a subordinate and quickly come forward to help him up, "General Zhao is also a soldier of the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhao Xunchang glanced at the cheerful subordinates and said, "We were originally under the command of the Ming Dynasty Shenji Camp. After the capital fell, we once wandered around the Jianghuai area. Later, after hearing that the emperor moved the capital to Hanjing, he planned to join forces."

"How can you pass through the province safely and safely with such full armed forces?"

"We walked the trail along the way, and we encountered some enemy squads, ordinary swords and arrows, which were not very threatening to our brothers in Shenji Camp."

It is actually the remnant of Shenji Camp!

Yu Wan was immediately happy. This was the most advanced and elite army in the Ming Dynasty, equipped with the most advanced muskets and cannons, and the imperial guards that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty relied most.

These soldiers are treasures. With these people, forming a new army is no longer just a empty talk.

This trip was really rewarding. Not only did he rescue the fourth son of the emperor, but he also obtained the inheritance of Yu Dayou and also gained this special forces. Yu Wan was so happy.

After cleaning the battlefield, everyone stopped stopping. They picked up a few good horses from the war horses left by the peasant army, and then whipped south and advanced rapidly towards Hanjing!

———

As the saying goes, "Ma Shengfeng is good. After four or five hours of rushing, they came to Yingshan County, Huguang Province.

Yingshan is located at the junction of Huguang and Anhui. Between Anqing and Jiangxia, it should have been a pure land, but at this moment, the whole city is martial law and refugees are everywhere.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw Yu Wan and the others fully armed, they thought it was the enemy coming to raid. They were so scared that they quickly raised the suspension bridge and prepared for battle and quickly reported to the county magistrate!

"Strange, why are there so many refugees? Brother Zhao, please protect the Fourth Prince here, I'll go around to see the situation."

Xu Hu also jumped off the horse with Yu Wan and walked towards the refugees outside the moat.

Looking around, there were more than tens of thousands of refugees near the North Gate alone, all of whom were unclothed and hungry, looking at Yu Wan and the others swaying in front of them with a numb expression.

The one who attracted Yu Wan's gaze the most was a woman under the willow tree. She looked sallow and thin, and her eyes were originally so lively that she was dull, like a dry well that had been dry for a long time. The baby in her arms was so hungry that she cried loudly, biting her breastfeeding part, but she couldn't even flow out a little milk.

It is true that you would rather be a peaceful dog than a person in troubled times. Every time you update the dynasty, the most painful thing is the common people.

Yu Wanyu squatted down unbearably, took out the big cake in his arms and stuffed it into the woman's hand.

When the woman saw what she had eaten, she was shocked, her eyes were eclipsed and she swallowed all the biscuits in the blink of an eye! Then she took the clear water from Yu Wan's hand, drank it for a long time before thanking her continuously.

"Sister-in-law, where are you from?"

The woman wiped her dry lips and said, "We are from Anqing. Our hometown was occupied by those who were killed by thousands of swords. The beasts would kill men when they saw them, and rob them when they were women. They had no choice but to escape here!"

"What? Anqing was captured? When did it happen? Did the barbarians do it?"

This news was like a bolt from the blue to Yu Wan. This happened just after leaving Anqing. I don’t know how Zheng Yixue and his daughter were like!
