king of war

Chapter 98 Super Era Firepower Crushing (First Order)
Five years later, the tranquility of Liaodong was once again broken by war.

The imperial court's [-] troops with heavy new-style firearms lined up in a long line, crossed the Shanhaiguan Pass, and rushed towards Ningyuan, the first fortress in Liaodong.

Yuan Yingtai, who holds the title of governor of Liaodong, looked at the endless marching team, and suddenly felt that his chest was surging and full of pride, and he had a feeling that he was going to become a famous general in history.

"With such a mighty and majestic teacher, why worry about rebellion and injustice!" Yuan Yingtai said with emotion, "Yuexuelou Boat Guazhou Ferry, Iron Horses and Autumn Winds Scatter Pass..."

Xiong Tingbi stood on one side, his face sinking like water, looking at the distant horizon in silence.

Yuan Yingtai chanted poems for a long time, but no one responded, and felt bored. Turning around and seeing Xiong Tingbi in a daze, he snorted coldly in his heart and asked in a deliberately drawn out tone.

"Master Xiong, what are you looking at~ I'm begging the rebellious soldiers to go out to fight, so Master Xiong has nothing to say?"

Xiong Tingbi glanced expressionlessly at the proud disciple of the new Chief Assistant, and replied in a deep voice: "I hope this time we can maintain an unbeatable situation."

"You!" Yuan Yingtai was furious. Just now, he had imagined that he would become a famous general who would go down in history through this war. In the blink of an eye, Xiong Tingbi came to pour cold water on him.

"My master Wang went out to fight against rebellion, and the people of Liaodong will definitely welcome them with pans of food. If the Qin bandits don't wait for the wind to surrender in order to seek the mighty grace of heaven, and dare to resist stubbornly, they are not asking for their own death."

Xiong Tingbi had dealt with Qin Rongshuai before, he had seen the new army trained by Qin Rongshuai with his own eyes, and when he looked at the army on his side, his heart was naturally full of B numbers.

"This old man worked with Qin Rong several years ago when he was fighting against Jianlu. His new army was lined up neatly and neatly, with strict discipline and no offense. The mechanism can be fired immediately, much faster than our army's firecrackers, and more powerful artillery, the artillery equipped by our new Ming army is incomparable in terms of power and range."

"Hmph!" Yuan Yingtai thought for a long time and couldn't refute, so he could only snort coldly and say, "What's the use of sharp firearms? My Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, and there are tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen. Self-generated firearms can also be made. Why should Mr. Xiong let others lose their ambitions?" I am majestic. What's more, my master Wang is seeking rebellion and suppressing rebellion, and my destiny is mine, so what's the use of entangled in these tricks and tricks."

Xiong Tingbi glanced at Yuan Yingtai and didn't refute, he knew it was pointless.Seeing that Xiong Tingbi didn't speak, Yuan Yingtai thought that he was blocked by his reasonable and well-founded words, and felt complacent.

The firearms new army of the Ming Dynasty stopped suddenly after less than [-] miles away, and the scouts sent out suddenly reported that the main force of the Liaodong rebel army was found ahead.

Yuan Yingtai felt strange, and found out that the main force of the rebel army was going up, why are you stopping there?

The leader of the army, He Shixian, and several deputy commanders looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, because they found that the Liaodong Army was digging trenches in front of them, criss-crossing and stretching continuously.

Moreover, all the Liaodong Army soldiers hid in the trenches and did not show up.They sent people over to test several times, but before they got close, there was a heavy rain of bullets. Many Ming troops were beaten into a honeycomb before they even saw where the enemy was.

Seeing that they could not pass through, the Ming army could only stop and set up camps, waiting for further orders.

Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Yingtai had a quarrel about the next tactic. Xiong thought it should be done with caution and sent someone to test the opponent's firepower. Yuan Yingtai thought that the army should directly press on and crush the rebels with momentum.

In the end, Xiong Tingbi was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he had no choice but to watch Yuan Yingtai take away the command and ordered the Ming army to attack directly.

When the Ming Dynasty army formed a dense formation and slowly approached the trenches of the Liaodong Army, there was still no movement from the other side.

At three hundred paces, the Liaodong Army in the trench began to show its head and stick out its barrel.

The guerrillas and guards who led the troops in front were a little surprised, what does it mean to hold a gun at only three hundred steps.

Back then, Qi Jin stole dozens of flintlock guns. The Ming Dynasty knew a thing or two about the equipment of the Liaodong Army. Although the flintlock guns are fast, their range is just that. Know where it went.

When the Ming army was surprised, suddenly there was a burst of gunshots, and the formation of the Ming army seemed to have been bitten, and fell down in unison.

Then there was a continuous rain of bullets. The Ming army was in a daze. They didn't know what happened. They continued to move forward subconsciously. As a result, they seemed to hit an invisible wall of death and fell down in the trench one after another. At a distance of more than 200 meters.

Yuan Yingtai opened his mouth wide. He watched the soldiers of the Liaodong Army lined up in three rows in the trench, firing muskets in turn.

Everything in front of him was beyond his cognition, his world view was a little bit broken, his face was distorted, he grabbed the arm of the commander-in-chief He Shixian next to him, and asked through gritted teeth: "Why are the rebel guns so sharp?"

He Shixian was about to cry, how did he know, he was also very desperate.If the fight continues like this, the Ming army will collapse before reaching the firing range of the firecrackers.

As soon as he thought about it, he saw that the Ming army was in an uproar, the entire formation was in chaos, and everyone started to turn around and run back.

The Ming army collapsed.

Then suddenly there was a whistling sound from the distant sky, and a burst of dense black spots smashed into the panicked formation of the Ming army.

Then Yuan Yingtai witnessed a miraculous moment, a metal projectile hit the ground, like a stone falling into the water, the ground sank, and then the nearby ground was squeezed out to create circles of ripples that began to spread around.

Then there was a huge flame, and a thunder-like sound.

Then there were more flames and thunder explosions, and a huge column of smoke and dust rose up as if connecting the sky and the earth. The dust was accompanied by a large number of broken arms and flesh and blood of Ming soldiers.

Under the bombardment of large-caliber howitzers, the [-] Ming army suffered heavy casualties, and everyone ran in a panic. A large number of Ming troops were stunned by the shock wave of the artillery shells, and rushed straight to the Liaodong Army's position regardless of their care, and were then hit by dense bombs. The rain made a sieve.

The Ming army prepared for three years, marched for three days, and fought with the Liaodong army for less than a quarter of an hour, and the entire army was wiped out.

When Yuan Yingtai was dragged back to Shanhaiguan, his whole mind collapsed, and he started talking nonsense, what is this sorcery, Ming Dynasty is dead!

Xiong Tingbi's face was pale, his hands were shaking constantly while writing the memorial, and his writing was crooked.

Later, the imperial court issued a decree that Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Yingtai were dismissed from office. Xiong Tingbi took the first responsibility as the Liaodong economic strategy, ransacked his family and beheaded him.

Then the second decree was sent to Qin Rongshuai, asking him why he wanted to oppose it.

Qin Rongshuai replied, I did not object.
The court asked again, why did you resist Master Wang.

Qin Rongshuai asked back why the late emperor died.

After a few days of silence from the imperial court, a decree suddenly came out, naming Marquis Pingliao as the crown prince's Taibao, a first-class duke, hereditary and irreplaceable.

　Sweat, I wish I had made an oolong at noon
