Chapter 493: "The Weapon That Cracks Heaven and Earth" (Page 1/1)

Zhu Linmiao frowned, and only then did Yu Xin report, saying that the number of captured soldiers was roughly counted, and it should only be about 10,000 people, that is to say, this is not the main force of the captivity.

"My lord, my subordinates have interrogated more than a dozen prisoners, all of whom are Zhang Tianlu's subordinates." Zhao Shichao also walked over and saluted, "Another captured officer confessed that the Chinese army of Luck Dehun should be camped seven miles away. ”

Zhang Jiayu's face flashed with melancholy, "Could it be that the thieves know that our army is setting up an ambush in Jurong?" ”

Zhu Linmi's thoughts flickered, and he shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, if the thief lured me with Zhang Tianlu, I wouldn't be so defenseless, and there was no one to follow after that...... This Zhang Tianlu was mostly sent as a striker or left the team with his own army. ”

He immediately said to Zhao Shichao: "Send hussars to investigate around, beware of other captives." ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Shichao took the order and left, at this time the sky was already a little bright, the terrain near Jurong was unobstructed, and he could see nearly a mile away when he raised his eyes, but he was not afraid that the thieves would be ambushed.

"My lord, the current situation is unclear," Zhang Jiayu said cautiously, "In the opinion of my subordinates, we should leave this place as soon as possible in case something goes wrong." ”

"No," Zhu Linmiao shook his head slightly, "If the main force of Jianyu is a few miles away, the movement of the battle must have been detected by him, and if he retreats at this time, he will inevitably expose his back to Luckedhun, so that he can then cover up and kill."

"In addition, even if the thieves don't catch up, but we get out of the way and let them return to Nanjing, the thieves will all gather in one place, which will be even more detrimental to my Northern Expedition."

When he said this, he couldn't help but clench his fists and look into the distance, "We're going to fight Lecset here!" As long as the most combat-effective elite of Jianguo is destroyed, Jianguo's military strength in Nanzhi will be eighty percent, and there will be no obstacle for us to take Nanjing City. ”

He glanced at the sky and instructed the herald: "Let the soldiers gather in formation, rest in place, eat something as soon as possible, and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

"Yes!"

Yu Xin was a little worried: "My lord, our army attacked the enemy from afar, and there was not much ammunition with us. The shells were consumed very little, and there was nothing, but only half of the shells were left, and I am afraid that there were not enough of them. ”

He also looked at the six thousand captives not far away, "It is difficult to take these thieves elsewhere in a moment, in case they suddenly rise up in the midst of a battle, they will disrupt our army's formation." ”

"Collect as much ammunition as you can for Zhang Tianlu." Zhu Linmiao immediately said, "The gunpowder can be used when you take it, but it is not wrapped into a fixed load, and the rate of fire will be lower." If the shells are not universal, iron slag, gravel, and gun shells can be used as scattered shells.

"As for the prisoners...... "At this time a large number of thieves are coming, and mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself!" A chill flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "All the big and small officers of the captives will be punished on the spot, and they will not dare to make any more trouble!" The rest were guarded in the rear of the army with 300 men. ”

"Yes!"

Yu Xin then turned around and left. Moments later, more than 400 Qing officers, large and small, were dragged out of the prison circle.

The infantry of the Broken Battalion of the two bureaus lined up neatly in front of it, and then raised their guns to aim, and as the officer shouted an order, "Release!" A puff of gunpowder smoke rose with the flames of the gun, and the lead bullets roared and tore the captives into a blur of flesh and blood.

With the screams of these officers, the captives kneeling beside were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out. After the execution was completed, the soldiers of the broken battalion of a bureau surrounded the other prisoners in the middle and drove them to three miles to the west. These prisoners of war were more obedient than sheep at this time, after the repeated frightening just now.

Less than half an hour later, Zhao Shichao brought a few hussars to Zhu Linmiao and said, "My lord, three and a half miles away from the east, I have seen the thief brigade, and it should be the main force of the red flag. Another captive rode around to the north side, which was not far away. ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded, looked at the soldiers who were sitting on the ground resting around him, kicked the horse's belly hard, galloped past the Ming army, and said loudly with all his strength: "I know, everyone must be very tired after the fight." You may feel that you don't have the stamina to fight tens of thousands of prisoners. ”

When he said this, he pointed to the west, "But behind us is Ying Tianfu!" It's millions of people of the Ming Dynasty! It's our hometown and our loved ones!

"The captives did whatever they wanted on our land, robbed us of our food, killed our people, burned our homes, and now they are going to cross us and continue their evil deeds! If we take one step back, countless people will suffer!

"You are all the hope of the Ming Dynasty!

"Are you willing to fight side by side with me, right here, in Jurong, with your guns, with your swords, tell Jianyu that the Han family is invincible?!" Tell them that those who offend me will not be forgiven! ”

With his words, all the soldiers of the Ming army stood up one after another, the tired color on their faces suddenly disappeared, and they raised the fire gun or steel sword in their hands, and a beastly roar erupted from their chests, "I will not be punished!" ”

"You are the best soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and Jianyu will definitely collapse in front of you! Daming will win! Zhu Linmiao grabbed the reins of his horse, turned to face tens of thousands of soldiers and gave a solemn military salute, "I am proud to lead such excellent and brave soldiers as you to fight on the battlefield!" ”

The Ming army's position was silent for a second, and then nearly 30,000 soldiers shouted in unison at the same time, "Kill!" A proud murderous aura rose into the air, ready to split the sky!

……

Luckedhun could already faintly see the Ming army formation several miles away, but to his surprise, he didn't hear the expected sound of fighting.

He took the binoculars to check, and saw that the Ming army was in formation, ready for battle, without any confusion and exhaustion, as if it had just fought with tens of thousands of horses.

Could it be that Zhang Tianlu, a waste, saw that the situation was wrong, and fled with his troops without fighting with the Southern Barbarians at all? He secretly scolded Zhang Tianlu in his heart, but he didn't know that if Zhang Tianlu hadn't "dedicated himself", he would have been ambushed by the Ming army.

Suddenly, a gunner sent by the Beijing battalion approached and said: "General, it is less than four miles away from the enemy, is it bombarded with artillery?" ”

When Lechde heard this, all the unhappiness in his heart immediately disappeared, hum, what if Zhang Tianlu was missing more than 10,000 people, the master had this sharp weapon in his hand that could tear the heavens and the earth, and he could bombard the corpses of the southern barbarians all over the field four miles away.

He then turned his head and shouted, "Hit me hard!" ”

"Huh!"

The gunner took the order, and a moment later hundreds of soldiers unloaded the four hexagonal rifled guns from their carts and hoisted them on their respective gun carriages with wooden frames and ropes.

Then the gunner measured the elevation angle, aligned the position, and the charger shoveled the gunpowder into the barrel of the gun, and two more people carried the twisted shell and laboriously stuffed it into the muzzle.
