Chapter 61: Qin Ran rushes into battle and is invincible
After rushing back to Hunan overnight, Qin Ran ordered the Shenlong Sect members and members of the Heaven and Earth Society scattered in Hunan to secretly spread the news that Wu Sangui was dead.
At first, almost no one believed the news, even commander-in-chief Wu Yingqi and deputy commander-in-chief Hu Guozhu.
But as time went by, more and more news came from Yunnan, and Wu Sangui's death was proved to be a fact.
Even under the exaggeration and falsehoods of some people, the rumors were outrageous.
Why did Wu Sangui first rebel against the Ming Dynasty and then the Qing Dynasty? He rebelled against his master both times, which was not allowed by heaven. He was struck by five thunders and died at home.
Why did the southern barbarians mobilize an army of 100,000 people? Taking advantage of the empty space inside the army, they directly occupied the entire territory of Yunnan and killed Wu Sangui in public.
After hearing the news, the entire Wu army was filled with excitement.
At this time, when Wu Yingqi and Hu Guozhu received the news of Wu Sangui's death and wanted to clear up their remarks, they could no longer suppress it, and it spread throughout the army.
Qin Ran took the opportunity to lead his army to approach,
Wu Yingqi and Hu Guozhu were worried about the changes in Yunnan and hoped for a quick victory. In addition, they still had an absolute advantage in the number of soldiers, so they immediately mobilized all their troops to advance, hoping to defeat Qin Ran in one battle, and then return to Yunnan to appease people's hearts.
.
When the armies of both sides approached the battle, they refused to give in and simply started fighting.
"kill!"
"kill!"
boom!
The cavalry assault made the ground tremble. Wu Yingqi made up his mind to directly press on the army and crush it with absolute strength advantage.
Looking at the surging army from the opposite side, Qin Ran had a sneer on his lips,
This group of people knows nothing about the combat effectiveness of their own army!
You know, after plundering the Qing Dynasty's arsenal, he not only equipped a 6,000-man musketry team, but also brought in dozens of red cannons!
"Everyone is ready!"
Qin Ran raised his hand and stared at the opponent's army. The next moment he waved his arm violently and shouted loudly: "Let go!"
Boom! Boom!
The thunderous roar of cannons,
The red cannon roared, and dozens of iron pellets weighing hundreds of kilograms passed through a standard parabola and hit the charging army on the opposite side.
Immediately, the cavalrymen who were charging at the front fell on their backs, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. The cavalrymen who were directly hit by the iron pellets had no bones left.
The red-coated cannon fired a volley, killing and wounding hundreds of cavalrymen on the opposite side.
What's even more terrible is that the cannon made a sound like thunder, frightening a large number of war horses and running away in all directions uncontrollably.
If this is all, forget it. Wu Yingqi has long known the shortcomings of the red cannon. Although it is powerful, its reloading speed is too slow. In a field battle, the cavalry only needs to withstand the first round of shelling to charge forward.
Arrive in front of the red cannon.
However, the next scene directly became Wu Jun's nightmare.
After entering the range of the flintlock musket, the military formation separated, revealing three rows of soldiers holding flintlock muskets, each row separated by about one and a half meters.
"shooting!"
Following the order, the soldiers in the front row instantly pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Along with the sound of gunshots, puffs of smoke rose from the field. The front team finished shooting and quickly retreated. Then they all started loading ammunition. The squadron stepped forward. In an instant, the squadron became the front team and the rear team became the squadron.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was another burst of dense gunfire accompanied by bursts of smoke, and then the formation changed again, and so on.
The three-stage shooting ensures continuous firepower, showing its power on the battlefield for the first time.
With such high-frequency shooting, the cavalry that Wu Sangui had worked hard to save for more than ten years were shot into a sieve before they even got close to the formation, falling down in rows like grass.
"hiss!"
Everyone who saw this scene gasped and their eyes widened: "This... this..."
This completely subverted their understanding of war.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Ran took out a firework from his arms, lit it, shot straight into the sky, and exploded immediately!
This was the signal agreed between him and the Nine Difficulties Army. When the fireworks exploded, they launched a general attack on Wu Sangui's army together.
Soon, the Nine Difficulties Army rebelled in front of the formation and launched an attack on Wu Jun's flanks. For a while, the flanks were in chaos. Fortunately, Wu Yingqi was always on guard against the Nine Difficulties Army, so he managed to control the formation and did not collapse immediately.
Qin Ran stood on a hillside, looking into the distance and looking at Wu Yingqi's Chinese army flag.
Beside him, Ah Ke and Shuang'er were anxiously advising:
"Husband, the victory in this war must be ours, why take such risks?"
Qin Ran shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind! Whether it is the Wu army or the Nine Difficulties Army, they are all members of our Han family. There is no point in fighting each other here. I want to end this battle as quickly as possible
, to avoid unnecessary sacrifices!”
After saying that, Qin Ran immediately got on his horse.
"Husband! (Sir!)"
For a moment, all the generals who gathered around Qin Ran were moved.
"You can command the army with peace of mind. I will go and take off the heads of Wu Yingqi and Hu Guozhu. Come on!"
Qin Ran clamped his legs under the horse's belly, and the horse under him received the order and rushed forward crazily.
Shuang'er wanted to stop him, but was unable to change Qin Ran's mind, so he turned around and shouted:
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and protect the prince!!"
"yes!"
Hundreds of kung fu masters from the Shenlong Sect or the Heaven and Earth Society rode their horses and followed closely behind Qin Ran.
"kill!"
Qin Ran flipped his wrist, and a two-foot-long Yanyue Scimitar appeared in his hand. This was specially prepared in advance and hidden in the storage space. It was used for charging into the battle. It weighed more than 130 kilograms and was used to hit anyone.
People's bodies can be said to be bruised to death and bruised.
As soon as he rushed into the enemy army, Qin Ran swept across with his long sword, showing off his power with an attack distance of nearly four meters. Suddenly, heads flew everywhere and blood splattered.
Qin Ran seemed unaware, and let out a loud roar, and slashed wildly with the long knife in his hand. Wherever he passed, the Wu soldiers fell on their backs and their heads rolled.
"Who is that person?"
From a distance, Wu Yingqi saw that Qin Ran was extremely brave, fighting alone, leaving the friendly troops behind him dozens of meters away, and he couldn't help but asked in shock.
Someone on the side climbed up to identify him, and then reported: "Come back to the commander, that person is Lu Dinggong Qin Ran!"
"It's him!"
Wu Yingqi was startled at first, then raised his head and laughed: "This man is so brave that he dares to break into our army alone. There is a road to heaven if you don't take it, and there is no door to hell if you come to it. If you kill this man, this battle will be inevitable."
Win!"
"Come here, pass on my military order. Anyone who kills this man will be promoted to the third level and receive a reward of ten thousand taels!"
A heavy reward must be rewarded by a brave man. Although Qin Ran was unparalleled in bravery, as Wu Yingqi's military order was conveyed, hundreds of people suddenly surrounded Qin Ran.
Qin Ran took a long breath and said without fear: "Well done! So happy!"
The internal strength is first-rate and the external strength is second-rate. The inner strength circulates and the energy and blood in his body are vigorous, making Qin Ran invulnerable and infinitely powerful. Before the inner strength and the breath in his body are exhausted, no one in this army of ordinary people can hurt him, or even get close to him.
