Chapter 282 The decisive moment

In the refugee military camp, whether it was true or false, everyone looked sad at this time, and they obeyed silently for Wang Hu and Dahonglang.

Before, Gao Yingxiang, Wang Jiayin, Wang Zuogua, Feishanhu, Wang Monkshang and others were still very depressed that they had not gained the opportunity to take the lead, but now they were secretly grateful to see Wang Hu and the corpse of the big red wolf whom they had been snatched back by their personal soldiers.

Although their troops under them are more than Wang Hu and the Big Red Wolf, the combat power of the troops under their command among the eight kings is almost the same. Since Wang Hu and the Big Red Wolf were beaten so badly by the Ming army, it might not be much better if they were brought up.

If Wang Erdeng had asked them to take the lead before, perhaps they would have been the corpse snatched back by their personal soldiers, not Wang Hu and the big red wolf.

Wang Er's face was gloomy. He walked from his seat to Wang Hu, in front of the corpse of the big red wolf, bent down and squatted down, and closed his eyes one by one. Then he waved his hand and signaled his personal soldiers to carry the two corpses out for proper burial.

Back at the seat, Wang Er split the newly purchased case table into two pieces with one knife, and said gritting his teeth: "Sun Chuanting! Kill my brother! If I, Wang Er, don't avenge this great revenge for my brother, I will never be a human being!

Brothers, I order your entire army to attack. Today I will use the sea of ​​people to deal with the Ming thieves. There are still 38,000 left in our army, which is still ten times that of the Ming thieves. There is no need for any complicated tactics. Just using the heads to pile up the Ming thieves can kill them."

"Wang Ming, I'll prepare here!" Gao Yingxiang and others were afraid that Wang Er would regret it, so they hurriedly responded.

After all, they witnessed the tragic situation of Wang Hu and the Red Wolf. Even if they are arrogant, they should understand that the Ming army can't do anything with their own strength alone. Only by attacking the entire army and using human-sea tactics to attack the city can they preserve their own strength while also winning the battle.

...

Tens of thousands of people were boundless and shoreless, not to mention that there were as many as 38,000 refugees. Wang Erqi was on a tall horse, looking at the dense heads, and his heart was greatly excited.

Although he lost about 4,000 soldiers and horses in the head, all the two thousand soldiers and horses that fled back were merged by him. With Wang Er's strength, he not only did not reduce the loss at all, but instead expanded the troops directly under his command to more than 10,000 by annexing Wang Hu and Dahonglang's subordinates.

After successfully taking Tongchuan and opening up Guanzhong and southern Shaanxi, he was very confident that he could attract more people from Guanzhong, which had a relatively dense population, and expand his troops to more than 100,000.

If there were 100,000 troops, the world would be able to go. Even if Chongzhen was brought down and he became the emperor, it would not be an extravagant hope.

Thinking of the wonderful future, Wang Er was ambitious and shouted loudly: "The whole army is brave enough to move forward. Those who dare to fight will have a heavy reward. Those who climb to the city first will receive a hundred taels of silver. After entering the city, they will not seal their swords for three days!"

"Long live the king!"

The promise made by Wang Er spread throughout the army, and the soldiers of the bandit army raised their arms and shouted with great momentum.

At this time, in front of the entire army, a personal soldier led a donkey to Wang Er. Wang Er waited for the soldiers to stop and shouted again: "But if there is any donkey in the entire army, there is such a donkey!"

After saying that, Wang Er raised his sword and fell down fiercely. The donkey was not even screaming, so Wang Er cut off the donkey's head and died tragically in front of the entire army.

Wang Er's move to kill the donkey and sacrifice the flag really shocked the entire army. All the soldiers understood that they could only survive if they had to set aside and take down Tongchuan ahead.

Under the pressure of either life or death, the thieves were completely willing to go out, making wild beasts howling, holding temporary wooden shields in their hands, desperately sprinting forward.

"Boom boom boom..."

Still the same as before, when the bandits entered the city wall two hundred steps, the Ming army's Folang machine cannons and tiger squat cannons howled one after another, and the bandits' charge formation was dense, and the casualties caused by the Ming army's artillery bombardment were even greater than the first time.

But when Wang Er, who was behind, saw the scene, he felt a hungry heart. He had already dispatched his entire army. The Ming army's trick was just three tricks, which showed that the Ming army was already exhausted and had no other means. He could suppress the entire army and use the heads to pile up the Ming army to death.

So Wang Er had no doubts and ordered: "The whole army attacked, we will have a big meal in Tongchuan City tonight!"

"As for orders, king!"

With Wang Er's order, the refugee army all attacked and pressed towards Tongchuan City.

Seeing the bandits' army everywhere, the frequency of artillery fire of the Ming army suddenly increased, and the musketeers on the city walls also kept firing, and the number of casualties of the bandits' army suddenly increased sharply.

But Wang Er sneered, and he became more convinced that the Ming army was already in trouble, and it was only a matter of time before the refugee army won.

...

The northwest wind blows strongly, and the sun and moon dragon flag representing the Ming Dynasty flutters high. On the artillery position, Li Yunlong took a deep breath and murmured: "Red cannons, Yi cannons, Your Majesty specially gave you the name of the Invincible General of Divine Power. Don't let Your Majesty down your expectations. You must show your power. Whether our old Li is alive or dead depends on you."

The Red-Bao Cannon was a kind of artillery made by Europe from 1500 to 1520. It was introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty. Since the Red-Bao Cannon was traded from the Dutch, the Ming people called this cannon a red-Bao [the Ming people called the Dutch] cannon.

The Red Cannon has certainly more advantages than the Flang machine cannon. The Red Cannon has a long barrel and a thick pipe wall. It is gradually thicker from the muzzle to the tail, which is in line with the principle of the chamber pressure from high to low when the gunpowder is burning.

There are cylindrical gun ears on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body. The gun can adjust the firing angle with this axis and change the range with the amount of gunpowder. It is equipped with sight and sight gates to calculate the ballistic according to the parabola, with high accuracy.

The red cannons are generally about three meters long, with a diameter of about 110-130 mm and a weight of more than 2 tons. Such a bulky cannon is naturally very difficult to carry, so it is mostly used in city defense.

After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he spent a huge amount of money to buy 72 red cannons from the Dutch. Except for ten left for the Secretary for imitation, most of them were arranged on Shanhaiguan, while a small part was allocated to the Tianwu Army, which was mainly firearms.

After talking to the Red Cannon, Li Yunlong's face suddenly sank and shouted: "Have all sixteen Red Cannons adjusted? "

"Report to the battalion commander, the adjustment is completed!"

The thirty-six gunners who manipulated the Red Barbarian cannon shouted with a loud bang. They looked firm and their voices were like thunder, with an unyielding determination.

Sixteen red cannons were neatly laid on the city wall, lined up in a row, and the hideous guns were cold and cold, like a tiger that had chosen people to open its bloody mouth.

Li Yunlong looked at the densely packed thieves on the opposite side, and suddenly pulled out the command knife given by the emperor, and shouted with all his strength: "Fire the cannon!"

"Boom boom boom boom..."
