Hundreds of strong men in the Ming army could not open their eyes to see what happened!
He died without seeing that when he heard the gunshots, more than 60 Ming soldiers who were charging with him, besides himself, more than ten people fell down in response!
Seeing so many comrades around him fall down together, and at the same time, a burst of white smoke floated in front of the half-sized men on the opposite side, and almost all the charging Ming soldiers were stunned at that time!
How is this going?
Why are these rebel guns so powerful?
Fire cannons are nothing new to them. The Ming army began to equip primitive fire cannons a hundred years ago, but the fire cannons they equipped are all extremely primitive fire cannons, regardless of power, range, accuracy, etc.
All performances are extremely poor.
Therefore, in their inherent concept, unless the firecrackers are extremely powerful and heavy-duty artillery, those small firecrackers are simply useless.
But who would have thought that the weird-looking fire guns in the hands of these pseudo-Tang rebels in front of them are so powerful. This round of shooting has already caused more than a dozen of them to fall down, including the extremely brave ones who took the lead in the charge.
Hundreds of strong men.
With hundreds of strong men dead and ordinary soldiers suffering heavy casualties, these Ming soldiers who had rushed to a distance of twenty meters actually stopped and were all stunned and did not dare to continue charging forward!
Whether they were ordinary soldiers or low-level officers such as a few generals and small flags, they were all stunned. What happened in front of them was beyond their imagination.
And at this moment, another voice came from the white smoke: "Fire the bayonet!"
But before they could figure out what bayonets meant, they discovered that the spearmen holding spears in front of them were already moving forward step by step and charging towards them!
The musketeers on both sides of the spearmen also stepped forward with muskets with a bayonet inserted into the muzzle!
A dense array of spearmen composed of dozens of spearmen and musketeers approached them step by step.
What exactly is going on?
Until now, most soldiers of the Ming Army have not figured out what happened, and why the charge that seemed so smooth before turned into the current situation in an instant.
Shouldn't they be the ones who rush in and start killing people?
Shouldn't they be the ones who rush out smoothly?
Why haven't we charged up yet? The opponent only fired one round of fire cannons, and more than ten of our own people fell down. And now, the half-grown men on the opposite side have even taken the initiative to rush forward.
What happened to this world?
They don't understand!
Facing the Guards' march forward to charge, several brave Ming soldiers in the Ming army screamed, and then rushed forward with long spears or waist knives!
"kill!"
Seeing this scene, many of the surviving Ming soldiers thought to themselves: Well, our Ming men are still full of blood!
Even though Baihu and the others were dead, and even though more than ten brothers had fallen, they could still come back alive as long as they rushed over.
At that moment, several more people shouted and rushed forward!
Led by five or six people, the remaining Ming army soldiers finally swept away the previous decline. They each issued different shouts and slogans, and rushed out with spears or swords and shields!
Maybe it was just an accident. Even if it wasn't an accident, their firecrackers were finished firing, and there was no way they could reload and shoot again in a short period of time!
As long as they rush forward, there is still hope!
Looking at the scattered Ming soldiers rushing out in front, some of the Guards soldiers walking in the front row had faces full of excitement, while others had faces full of fear.
The distance between the two sides was only twenty meters. When they charged each other, it didn't take long for them to engage in battle. As the distance got closer, some people in the originally silent Guards array finally couldn't help but react like this on the battlefield.
A high-pressure atmosphere.
Immediately, some soldiers of the Guards shouted loudly: "Ah...ah...kill!"
There are no messy slogans, only simple loud shouts and single words of kill, kill, kill!
At this moment, they forgot their excitement and fear, and only saw the enemy in front of them!
And in the next moment, the spears or spears in the hands of the Guards were thrust forward in unison!
At the same time, several men holding spears in the Ming army on the opposite side also made the same move!
moment!
Someone on both sides fell!
However, when Wang Danxu from behind saw the scene of someone falling on both sides, his expression was not worry and panic, but a look of ecstasy on his face!
Because he saw that only two people on his side fell, but on the other side, at least a dozen people fell in an instant!
With the tight formation and superior strength, a Ming army spearman on the opposite side needs to face the bayonets of at least four or five Guards spearmen or musketeers, and those Ming army sword and shield soldiers have to deal with such long weapons.
Can't play any role in the fight!
At this time, Wang Danxu was seen riding his horse forward, holding the sword high in his hand: "Charge the whole army!"
He saw hope, and this hope was not only the hope of victory in this battle, but also the hope of the future of the Guards!
Just a round of volleys and a round of stabbings, nearly half of the more than 60 Ming soldiers on the opposite side fell!
This is not a battle with a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. The opponent is a regular army of more than 60 people.
It's not an ambush, but a face-to-face charge duel between the two sides. The competition is about tactics and the courage of both sides.
However, in this kind of battle, his own Guards were able to achieve such a huge victory!
Who dares to say in the future that the Guards are just a group of half-grown children playing house?
Who dares to say that Wang Danxu is just a child king in the future?
Who dares?
After a short round of fighting, more than ten people on our side fell. The courage that the Ming army had finally inspired again completely disappeared without a trace. Facing the Guards, they once again stepped forward. The rest of them
No one dared to rush forward for a duel again, but instead stepped back!
Finally, I don’t know who shouted: “Run!”
Then the remaining thirty or so people turned around and ran away. Unfortunately, they may have forgotten at this time that their rear was not an escape route, and there was no escape route in all directions.
Directly behind them was the ferocious Chen Tufu with more than 20 heavy armored sword and shield soldiers, flanked by Cai Erhu with more than 30 light armored sword and shield soldiers. In addition to them, there were more spears
Soldiers and archers were also trotting forward, trying to surround and intercept these Ming troops.
When Li Xuan, who was watching the battle from behind, saw this scene, he knew that the battle had been won. Not only had he won, but he had also won beautifully!
In this battle, he not only annihilated a partial division of the Ming Army, but more importantly, he gained a real army: the Guards!
Under the attack of the Guards, the remaining Ming army had completely lost their will to fight. After turning around and running away, they found that the back road had been completely blocked. Then they didn't know who started it. They began to drop their swords and guns, and then
Kneeling down like sheep, the leading generals, Xiaoqi and other low-level military attachés shouted: "We surrender, we surrender!"
If they don't surrender, they will end up like the more than thirty people who fell before, dying here!
The surrender of the remaining Ming troops meant that the battle was completely over, and all that was left was to clean up the battlefield.
At this time, all the bandits in Huangzhushan were all smiling. Liu Bagou even ran to Li Xuan and knelt down: "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. The Guards were so brave and invincible in today's battle.
With a strong army, our Tang Dynasty will be able to conquer the world soon!"
"The reason why the Guards are so good at fighting is because of Your Majesty's wisdom. Without His Majesty's personal training and formulation of this battle strategy, our army would never have won the victory it has today, let alone have such a strong force as the Guards.
Today's victory and the strength of the Guards are all due to your Majesty's wisdom!"
The toady Wang Wenhua rushed out again, eager to blow Li Xuan to the sky!
Immediately, the few remaining people in the Chinese army also praised Li Xuan. These people who followed Li Xuan were all educated, although they were not as good as Wang Wenhua, Liu Bagou, and Qian Mengjiu.
I have read a lot of books, but the praise is quite pleasant. At least it is much more elegant than the words used by rough warriors like Fang Dongquan and Chen Butcher when they praise people.
Moreover, while the wording was elegant, it also made Li Xuan feel elated after listening to it!
Listening to these words, Li Xuan felt for the first time that Liu Bagou and the others were pretty good at flattering!!
In the past, when they boasted about how awesome they were, Li Xuan would smile at most, but mentally he would have an indifferent attitude, the kind of attitude where you brag and I listen.
But now, Li Xuan can accept their flattery with peace of mind.
Why?
Because this battle went so damn smoothly and brought him so many surprises.
Hundreds of people went to fight the Ming army of more than 60 people, and they also secretly ambush them. There was no chance that they would win this battle.
But what Li Xuan is concerned about is not the victory itself, he is more concerned about the powerful combat effectiveness that the Guards broke out in this battle!
In this battle, although Huang Zhushan had hundreds of troops participating in the battle, the only ones actually fighting against the Ming army were the Guards. There were more than 80 Guards troops versus more than 60 Ming troops. In terms of strength comparison,
The gap between the two sides is not that big.
However, in such a head-on confrontation, the Guards actually won a complete victory. At the cost of killing three people and injuring two others, they killed at least thirty people from the opponent. Of course, there were some opponents who did not understand the power of muskets.
, rushed up rashly and received a round of volley fire, and later lost the commander because the leading officer was killed, so he was led by a few idiots, and the others followed stupidly and charged again, sending themselves directly to the guards.
The spearhead of the spearman and the bayonet of the spearman
But no matter what, the Guards won, and they won cleanly!
While everyone was complimenting them, Fang Dongquan, Chen Tufu and other generals also came back with their people. However, unlike Liu Bagou and the others who looked excited and happy, Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, and Chen Tufu had expressions that were filled with joy.
