As a sharp sound broke through the air, everyone watched helplessly as the tent in front of the school ground collapsed.
Only then did someone react and shout: "The artillery is the Ming army's artillery!"
Before he finished speaking, artillery shells flew across the sky one after another, hitting the Arabe position like meteors.
The artillery shell technology of this era was not yet mature. The artillery shells used by the Ming army were all solid iron lumps. Although they could not explode, the destructive power was amazing enough when flying from such a long distance.
The Walas people had just gathered, but who could have imagined that the Ming army's artillery shells had already arrived, and the school grounds suddenly became chaotic.
Ala watched helplessly as a cannonball fell into the crowd, killing and injuring many people, and wailing continuously.
"Master Zhiyuan, it's the Ming army. The Ming army is coming!"
Of course Ah La knew that the Ming army was coming. At this moment, in addition to anger, his face was filled with surprise.
As soon as news of the defeat came from the front, the Ming army hit them in the face. Why did they move so fast?
"Pass the order, everyone..."
Boom!
Before he finished speaking, a cannonball hit in front of him. Fortunately, the guards around him reacted quickly and threw Ala to the ground, thus escaping the disaster.
"Master Zhiyuan, the Ming army's artillery is powerful, you should find a place to hide!"
"What are you hiding from?"
Ala wiped the dirt from his face and said angrily: "Where's my horse? Bring my horse over here!"
However, the camp was already in a mess, and the war horses were frightened and fled in all directions, and they were nowhere to be found.
Boom!
Boom!
On the Ming army's position, twenty general cannons spit out flames and continued to carry out long-range attacks on the Arabu camp. At the same time, the fifth military camp was already in formation and ready to go.
When facing high-speed cavalry, the power of artillery will inevitably be greatly reduced due to the opponent's speed advantage.
However, if there is a positional battle, this thing will immediately turn into a deadly weapon on the battlefield.
Just raise the muzzle of the gun, aim at the opponent's camp, and blast it from the longest distance!
The British Duke Zhang Fu came to Zhu Qizhen and saluted: "Your Majesty, the five military camps have been assembled, waiting for instructions!"
Zhu Qizhen quietly stared at the Wala camp in front and ordered: "Pass my decree and the whole army will attack!"
"Old minister obeys the order!"
Zhang Fu’s face was full of excitement, today’s battle was a blast!
Unexpectedly, this army, under the personal command of the emperor, would display such huge combat effectiveness.
However, since the emperor has such superb military talents, why did he let Wang Zhen blindly command him in the first place?
It makes no sense...
Forget it, just stop thinking about things you can’t figure out and just do it!
Zhu Qizhen got on his horse, came to the artillery array, and shouted: "Chen Ying!"
Chen Ying hurried over and saluted: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"How many more shells are there?"
"Back to the emperor, there are probably more than two hundred left!"
Zhu Qizhen pointed to the Wala camp ahead and said, "Look carefully. Stop attacking when the vanguard is a hundred steps away from the enemy position!"
Chen Ying nodded: "I obey your order!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Qizhen continued to move forward. Chen Ying's expression changed and he hurriedly stepped forward to grab the reins of Zhu Qizhen's seat and said: "Your Majesty, it is enough to have the British commander in front. You should stay in the rear to supervise the battle."
!"
Zhu Qizhen frowned and said: "I am the coach, how can I retreat in the decisive battle?"
Chen Ying looked very embarrassed and advised: "Your Majesty, there are no swords and guns on the battlefield. I am worried, just in case, just in case..."
Zhu Qizhen looked solemn and said: "Today's battle is related to the survival of our country, the Ming Dynasty. Regardless of success or failure, the soldiers in front must see my figure and the big dragon flag above my head!" p>
Chen Ying was speechless at these words. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the person standing in front of him was the Emperor of Heaven.
Once upon a time, the emperor in his eyes was more like a child who had not grown up.
Due to the early death of Emperor Xuanzong, Zhu Qizhen took the throne early. He was only nine years old that year.
When the new emperor was young, the power of the government was in the hands of the Empress Dowager Zhang and San Yang and other auxiliary ministers. During this period, the Ming Dynasty developed steadily and its national power became strong. It was precisely because of the political achievements of San Yang and others that people
Gradually I forgot about the little emperor on the dragon throne.
From that time on, Zhu Qizhen began to become rebellious.
Every move he makes must be under the supervision of his ministers, and anything he does must be discussed with his ministers first.
Whenever major national events are encountered, ministers are more busy negotiating and making decisions. All Zhu Qizhen needs to do is wait for others to make a decision and then issue an edict as the emperor.
Over time, he gradually developed a rebellious mood, just like an adolescent boy, eager to prove himself.
At this time, a eunuch seized the opportunity.
Eunuchs, a service industry, are always in the palace. What they are best at is judging the situation and guessing people's hearts.
So, when Wang Zhen saw that the young emperor was depressed all day long, he knew that his opportunity had come!
As the Empress Dowager died of illness and San Yang gradually withdrew from the political stage due to his old age, Wang Zhen finally cleared all obstacles and assumed full power in the government.
This personal expedition was initiated by Wang Zhen, and the defeat along the way was also caused by Wang Zhen's random command. Just when Chen Ying and others were almost desperate, the ignorant young emperor in their eyes suddenly stood up.
First, he decisively eliminated Wang Zhen, and then led his troops to raid the Guishui River, defeating the opponent's elite cavalry and approaching the Arabu camp.
The sudden victory gave the demoralized soldiers hope again. At the same time, it also made everyone realize that the emperor had grown up. He was no longer the rebellious boy, but the real emperor of tomorrow.
Chen Ying suppressed his inner excitement and bowed solemnly.
"Long live the Emperor!"
Zhu Qizhen didn't know why Chen Ying was so excited. He just nodded lightly and led the team forward.
Fan Zhong led the imperial guards to follow Zhu Qizhen, and another 300 imperial guards followed at the end of the team to act as the supervisor of the formation.
However, at this time, the Ming army had just experienced a great victory, and the morale of the entire army was high, so there was no need to supervise the army.
Go!
Kill!
On the banks of the Guishui River, the Ala camp was already in a state of chaos. However, amid the sound of artillery fire, a cry of killing seemed to be heard.
Ala seemed to realize something and suddenly raised his head. Not far away, a large flag was approaching quickly.
"Master Zhiyuan, the Ming army is in front of us. We can't hold the Guishui River, retreat!"
"Why retreat?" A'la stretched out his hand to straighten the silver helmet on his head and said with a serious face, "Gather the troops immediately and follow me to fight!"
"The Ming army's artillery is so powerful that our troops cannot gather at all..."
The adjutant is still trying to persuade, but Ala seems confused. Until now, he still doesn't understand why the Ming army suddenly arrived.
This same Ming army was beaten like dogs along the way. Why did it suddenly become a magic weapon descending from the sky when it was in front of me?
"Master Zhiyuan, let's go quickly!"
The adjutant still maintained his sense, after all, it was not his son who died.
Ala's eyes were full of unwillingness, but he knew very well that he was finished.
