Chapter 117: The Decisive Battle (Part II)



Outside the city, Zuo Liangyu's camp.

Zuo Liangyu's eyes widened as he looked at the earth-shattering explosion coming from Anqing, and a section of the city wall tens of meters wide was wiped out in a burst of skyrocketing firelight, and a gap dozens of meters wide was blown out.

In a moment, in the midst of shouts and killings, countless figures poured out from this gap, and it was more than 30,000 soldiers of the Ying Long Army.

"Array! Array! In the shouts of Ji Feng and Zhou Cao, the Ying Long army that rushed out of the city instantly lined up and divided into four rows, the first three columns were 30,000 Ying Long army infantry, 10,000 people each, and the fourth column was Niu Yongsheng's artillery battalion trailing, only 4,000 people!

"Hahahaha, God help me, the little emperor actually blew up the city wall by himself to fight a decisive battle with this handsome! Hahahaha---" Zuo Liangyu's eyes widened and he laughed maniacally.

Originally, he didn't know how to break through Anqing as soon as possible and enter the city, but he didn't want the defenders in Anqing City to take the initiative to come out for a decisive battle, it was simply looking for death, the little emperor's head must have been kicked by a donkey, and God sent such a good opportunity, his big dream of Zuo Liangyu will come true, capture the little emperor alive, and attack Nanjing City!

"Herald the army, decisive battle! Catch the emperor and upgrade to the fifth level, and the bounty will be ten thousand taels! ”

In Anqing City, after all the Ying Long troops left the city, Zhu Cihong patted his war horse under his crotch and walked towards the gap. Fortunately, he stuffed something into the ears of the war horse under the crotch in advance, otherwise the loud noise just now would probably frighten the war horse under the crotch.

"Protect the Emperor!" Huang Dequan shouted first, and led the remaining 10,000 horses of his subordinates to follow Zhu Cihong out of the city from that gap.

The other nine general soldiers and the governor of Anqing gritted their teeth, and also commanded the army to follow out of the city, and now they have no choice but to fight a decisive battle! An army of 200,000 surged out of a gap tens of meters wide.

The Zuo Liangyu army on the Anqing city wall was quickly emptied, or retreated to the Zuo Liangyu army camp!

Zuo Liangyu ordered the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command to temporarily retreat one thousand meters, so that all the troops of Anqing could smoothly go out of the city and line up, and he wanted to succeed in one battle! Defeat the army of the imperial court in one fell swoop and capture the little emperor!

Zuo Liangyu is not worried about whether Zhu Cihong is cheating, no matter what you do, after ten days of fierce fighting, Zhu Cihong only has a maximum of 230,000 troops, and he Zuo Liangyu still has thirty-eight if he does not count the Zhuang Ding army, if he counts the Zhuang Ding army, there are even nearly 600,000, there is no reason not to win!

"Today will be the winner! Kill ------" Zuo Liangyu's face was flushed, it seemed to be full of red light, and he didn't look uncomfortable at all, and excitedly watched the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command go forward to kill.

Zuo Liangyu's 50,000 henchmen and pro-army except for 10,000 people left to protect himself, 40,000 horses were all placed on the front line, led by his son Zuo Mengeng to attack head-on, he wanted to use the strongest combat power into horns, and win the decisive battle with an unstoppable momentum.

The remaining 330,000 troops followed, Gao Jie kept an eye on it, and deliberately led his more than 10,000 Shaanxi troops to lag behind, he always felt that today's events were too strange and had to be guarded against.

In addition, there are 200,000 strong soldiers, they are all yellow and thin, holding simple bamboo tips by Zuo Liangyu arranged on the far left flank, to assist the attack, these strong men have not eaten for a day, Zuo Liangyu thinks they are useless, in order to punish them, only give them one meal a day, and they haven't had time to eat today. Many strong men secretly gritted their teeth, if it weren't for some people like Shi Changbai looking at them, they really wanted to turn around and kill Zuo Liangyu and eat Zuo Liangyu's flesh raw.

A bitter decisive battle is underway.

"Kill, ----" Zuo Mengeng shouted, leading Zuo Liangyu's most elite 40,000 henchmen and relatives to take the lead in killing forward. Immediately after, the 330,000 army also erupted in a shout of killing and slaughtered forward.

"Ying Longjun, attack!" The 34,000 Ying Long army was divided into four columns, forming a long semi-arc crescent moon formation towards the rushing Zuo Liangyu army, slowly pressing forward.

"Your Majesty, give the order to fight!" Seeing that hundreds of thousands of Zuo Liangyu were getting closer and closer, Huang Degong came to Zhu Cihong's side to ask for battle, and the other general soldiers also asked for battle, except for the Ying Long army that was advancing, there were still 200,000 troops here.

"Don't worry, let me see the heroic posture of the Ying Long Army that I built with my own hands!" Zhu Cihong smiled slightly, and did not agree to the request of Huang Degong and others, the 200,000 army was ready for battle, and today Ying Longjun is the protagonist.

Huang Degong and the others were full of bitterness, it was time for the emperor to mess around, and the situation was worrying. Although worried, without Zhu Cihong's permission, these general soldiers did not dare to arbitrarily order the army under them to charge and fight a decisive battle.

Rumble! Rumble----

Ying Longjun pointed his gun forward, and continued to move forward with extremely neat steps, murderous and magnificent, which made people's eyes shine.

Seeing this, Huang Degong and others secretly praised it, and said: "The emperor's army is really a rare strong army in the world, with this strong army, the left rebellion is not invincible!" ”

The performance of Ying Longjun gave Huang Degong a lot of confidence, although everyone knew that the emperor's Ying Long army was extraordinary, but according to the current view, it still seemed that it was still beyond their expectations, and this decisive battle was not without a chance of winning.

Zuo Liangyu's army and Ying Long's army continued to approach, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, about to enter the range of the flintlock pistol, and the muzzle of Ying Long's black hole pointed directly at Zuo Liangyu's army in front.

Zuo Mengeng originally planned to take the lead, but when he saw the musket in Ying Longjun's hand, although he was protected by hundreds of elite soldiers around him, he still wisely retreated to the back and let the ordinary soldiers take the lead in charging. In his understanding, the musket can only be fired once in this situation, and after one shot, the interview is head-on.

Although Ying Longjun had trained on the city wall of Anqing, all the Zuo Liangyu soldiers who could climb the city wall and see the combat methods of Ying Long's army were dead, so Zuo Mengeng didn't know the power of the large-scale use of muskets at all, and he led the army to crash head-on with Ying Longjun in a daze.

The two armies met one hundred and fifty meters and had already entered the range of the Ying Long army's flintlock pistols, Ji Feng and Zhou Cao smiled coldly, and at the same time ordered: "Block on the spot, the first column fires!" ”

"Bang bang bang bang---- 10,000 flintlock guns fired at the same time, white smoke rose into the sky, and the firelight was intertwined with the sound of gunfire.

Sneer----

Under the blow of tens of thousands of lead bullets in the first round, more than 2,000 Zuo Liangyu soldiers who collided head-on were crusted, flesh and blood flew sideways, and their corpses fell to pieces. These rushed to the front were Zuo Liangyu's 40,000 elite pro-army, led by Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Mengeng himself.

"The second column fires!" In an instant, tens of thousands of lead bullets shot out.

"The third column fires!"

In just a dozen breaths, in just three rounds of fire, Zuo Liangyu's 40,000 henchmen at the forefront of the elite army lost more than 6,000 people, this is just a dozen breaths of effort, it is simply irresistible, extremely miserable!

This terrifying scene was still being staged, and the morale of the Zuo Liangyu army at the forefront instantly dropped to the very edge, and it was even about to collapse.
