Chapter 149: Great Victory

The next day, Jiannu Daying.

Early in the morning, Xifu, Sony, Tulai, Leng Sengji, Tan Tai, Tazhan and other Jiannu generals, as well as Tu Xietu and Zhasak, the two Mongolian tribes, had gathered in Haoge's central army tent and demanded to move towards Beijing and meet with Dorgon's large team as soon as possible.

Because by last night, even the last batch of war horses had fallen down, Jiannu had completely fallen into a dilemma of having no horses to ride. If he didn't turn to Beijing as soon as possible, he might not be able to leave even if he wanted to.

Xifu knelt on one knee and beat Haoge, and said anxiously: "Master, you can't wait any longer."

"Yes, I can't wait any longer."

"We must move to Beijing as soon as possible and meet with the two Regents."

"Yes, it's useless to stay."

Sony, Tulai and others came out to agree.

The crowd was in a raging mood. When Haoge was helpless, he was about to order to turn to Beijing, a continuous sound of horns suddenly sounded outside the tent. Haoge's face changed drastically and he asked in a deep voice: "Where is the sound of horns?"

As soon as Haoge finished speaking, Goshha hurried into the tent and reported, "Master, it's not good."

Haoge frowned and shouted, "What's wrong?"

Goshha said: "The thieves on Thunder King Mountain have come here."

"What? What do these damn thieves want to do?" Haoge was startled and said anxiously, "Let's go, take a look."

Haoge hurried to the observation deck with the generals. From a distance, he saw that a large group of bandit cavalry had swept from the northern wilderness. When he was about to approach the Jiannu camp, the bandit cavalry was divided into two groups, and they circled around the sides of the Jiannu camp, and then went all the way to outside the north gate of the city before shooting.

"Damn it." Haoge clenched his hands angrily and growled, "These war horses were stolen from us. I will definitely not spare them. We must find a way to snatch all the lost war horses back."

"Kill the slave!"

"Kill the slave!"

"Kill the slave!"

As Haoge finished speaking, the north gate of Datong was closed suddenly opened slowly. Amid the endless sound of horns, teams of Ming Dynasty officials had already lined up in an orderly manner and slowly drove out of the city. What was even more shocking was that the two teams of bandit cavalry suddenly shrank their formations and protected the left and right wings of the Ming Dynasty officials.

"What!?" Haoge said in surprise, "Is this... true?"

Haoge really didn't expect that the thief who were originally mortal enemies and the Ming Dynasty's official army could fight side by side like brothers.

"It's broken." Xifu also paused, "I didn't expect that the bandits and the Ming army joined forces to join forces. With the bandit cavalry protecting the two wings, Wang Pu's firearms can attack our camp unscrupulously."

"What are you afraid of?" Haoge said angrily, "I don't believe it anymore. The 30,000 army will not be able to withstand the attack of thousands of Ming troops!"

Datong North Gate.

After the official army and the thieves formed a formation, Li Yan slowly came to the Ming army's back formation with Hongniang and more than a hundred cavalry soldiers. Wang Pu saw it from afar and quickly brought Nengniang, Lu Liu and dozens of cavalry soldiers to meet him, and they were still far away. The two of them bowed on the horse's back and laughed loudly at the same time.

"Chief Li."

"General Wang."

"I really didn't expect that we will meet again so soon."

"What's even happier is that we are still friends this time."

Wang Pu shouted to the sky and laughed: "As long as Chief Li keeps his promise, we will always be friends."

Li Yan smiled faintly and continued, "Li Yan must keep his promise and hopes that General Wang can be trusted."

"Of course." Wang Pu smiled, "Captain Li, why don't you start now?"

Li Yan also smiled and said, "I would like to ask General Wang to issue an order."

Wang Pu nodded slightly, slowly pulled out his waist knife and raised it over the top. Lu Liu, who was following Wang Pu, spread the flag in his hand loudly. Li Yan, Hongniang and his wife, and more than a hundred cavalry soldiers saw the flag and were stunned for a moment. They had never seen such a broken flag.

Lu Liu's flag was barely unfolded, and the scar faces standing in front of each lineup, the four thousand generals, Tang Sheng, Zhao Xin and Monk Zhang, also pulled out their waist knives, and then dozens of generals also pulled out their waist knives and raised them over the top. Nearly four thousand musketeers took off the musket from their shoulders and hugged them diagonally in front of their chests.

The four thousand musketeers were followed by the four thousand Datong Minzhuang, and each Minzhuang held a thick wooden board in his hand. When Li Yan saw it, he couldn't help but scream in his heart. It seemed that Wang Pu had indeed prepared for a long time. The wooden board in the four thousand Minzhuang could be used as a shield and used to fill the trench in front of the Jiannu camp.

Wang Pu lifted his waist knife forward and shouted loudly: "Attack!"

Lu Liu, who was closely behind, waved the flag in his hand forward with great force. Scarface, Tang Sheng, Zhao Xin, Zhang and dozens of monks waved the waist knife in their hands, and then shouted at the top of his lungs: "Attack!"

"attack!"

"attack!"

"attack!"

The four thousand musketeers who were waiting for the battle immediately began to move forward in neat steps. Every time they took a step forward, they shouted in unison, and the fierce sound rushed to the sky, shaking the eardrums. Li Yan turned his head and looked at the cavalry formation of the rebels, but he saw a loose and disorderly scene.

The chaos and disorder of the rebel army and the strict and orderly formation of the official army form a sharp contrast!

Li Yan's face suddenly became solemn. Wang Pu's firearm camp training level far exceeded his imagination. Although the rebel army also strengthened its training during this period in Leigong Mountain, the gap was still very big compared to Wang Pu's firearm camp.

"Captain Li, it's time for you to go back and command the rebels to fight."

When Li Yan was paying attention to the marching and formation of the officers, Wang Pu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Seeing that Li Yan was reluctant to return to the bandit formation, Wang Pu had to bite the bullet and remind him that cooperation was cooperation, but Li Yan was not his own person after all, and some things could not be seen by him, especially the paper shell bullet invented by Neng Niang, which was a life-threatening thing. How could Li Yan see it?

"Haha." Li Yan smiled a little embarrassedly, "Then let go."

Wang Pu has issued an order to expel guests, so Li Yan can't be shameless and stay here without leaving.

Amid the deafening sound of the earthly horns, the four thousand Ming troops and eight thousand thieves slowly moved forward and stopped when they advanced one stone from the Jiannu camp. At such a long distance, the Jiannu's bows and arrows could not shoot the Ming troops and the thieves, but the Ming troops' muskets could not pose too much threat to the Jiannu.

However, the Ming army had cannons, but Jiannu did not.

The only five red barbarian cannons that Jiannu had been brought to Beijing by Dorgon.

At Wang Pu's order, Xiaoqi led the servants' team to pull two mortars on the carriage to the front of the formation. The servants fired iron rods on the ground as fast as possible, and completely fixed the mortars and the frame. In this way, the mortars and the fixed frame will not be shaken away when firing the cannon.

These two mortars are old antiques and can only fire solid iron lumps. It is a bit difficult to use to kill Jiannu. They can use them to open the gate of Jiannu's camp, but it is just a piece of cake.

Xiaoqi raised his waist and led it forward, shouting sternly: "Fire the cannon!"

The two servants ignited the leads outside the mortar barrel with a fire twister. The leads were filled with black smoke and ignited into the barrel chamber. The two servants ran away ten steps as fast as possible, and covered their ears with their hands and lying on the ground.

"Boom boom!"

Accompanied by two deafening loud noises, two red flames roared out of the cannon chamber and shot towards the gate of Jiannu's camp like lightning. The two flames fell to the ground before they could fly, but they quickly bounced up and continued to fly forward, and finally hit the gate heavily.

The solid gate was immediately smashed into pieces, and the broken pieces of debris were flying all over the sky. Two solid iron lumps shot out of the ground were still unscathed after smashing the gate. Then they crashed into the Jiannu Formation. The flesh and blood flew across the Jiannu Formation, and the broken limbs fell to the ground. These two iron lumps were like two blood plows, plowing two deep blood marks in the crowded Jiannu Formation.

Before the cannon smoke had dissipated, Wang Pu gave another order. Four thousand Datong Minzhuang immediately rushed forward with four thousand long wooden boards, forming a tight floor wall above the musketeers' heads. With the cover of the walls, the four thousand musketeers slowly rushed towards the Jiannu camp.

Of course, Jiannu, who was hiding in the camp, would not sit and wait for death. With a command, Haoge gave a command. Waves of arrows rushed into the air from the Jiannu's camp. They were piled up to the top of the musket team, but were blocked by the walls of Datong Minzhuang. Basically, they could not pose any threat to the muskets hiding under the walls.

Soon, the two armies were less than 100 steps apart and had entered the effective range of the musket.

The Jiannu archers also changed their strategy and no longer made unnecessary diffuse into the sky. They were forced to aim at the front row of the Ming army's musketeers for direct shooting. Unfortunately, the arrows shot were too affected by the wind speed, and the hit rate was almost zero. However, the lead bullets fired by the musketeers of the Ming army were not affected by the wind at all.

Rows of lead bullets roared over, and the Jiannu archers guarding behind the fence fell down one by one. In less than a meal, the Jiannu corpses behind the fence were already piled up like mountains. This was a completely one-sided massacre. In the face of the superior firepower of the Ming munition camp, Jiannu had no power to resist.

The back of the bandits.

The Hongmao said to Li Yan with a serious expression: "My husband, this is so terrible."

"Yes." Li Yandi's expression was equally solemn, and he whispered, "If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it was true."

"My husband, if the camp is guarding the opposite side is our rebel army..."

When Madam Hong said this, she couldn't help but shivered and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Don't worry, madam." Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Wang Pu's firearm is indeed powerful, but it is not invincible."

"Huh?" Hongniang looked at Li Yan with beautiful eyes and asked, "The husband has a way to defeat Wang Pu's firearm?"

"Although it's not easy, the solution is not without it." Li Yan frowned and said, "The attack power of Wang Pu's firearm is very powerful, it can be said to be irresistible, but it also has a fatal weakness. Because the firearm barracks have to be lined up in neat shooting queues and move forward, they move slowly. If there are a few cannons in the Jiannu camp opposite, Wang Pu's firearm barracks will suffer heavy losses!"

"Well." The beautiful lady lit up when she heard this. She said happily, "Your husband, you are so amazing. You thought of a way to crack it so quickly."

Li Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But this is not a good idea. After all, the cannon is more bulky and more inconvenient to move. Moreover, it takes a lot of time to fill ammunition after a shot. Taking advantage of this time, Wang Pu's firearm battalion can still rush up to the ground. In fact, the best way is to... also train a musket team."

The Hongniang said in surprise: "But we don't have muskets?"

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "We can build without muskets, and Wang Pu's muskets were also made by him."

Jiannu Camp.

The three trenches in front of the Jiannu camp have been filled with wooden boards by Minzhuang in Datong. The Ming army camp has already been killed in front of the Jiannu camp. Hundreds of Dragon King cannons were thrown in like raindrops. Amid a deafening explosion, the Jiannu crowded in the camp was instantly blown away.

After more than 3,000 archers were killed and injured, the Zasaks and Tushetu people had completely collapsed, and more than 5,000 Jiannu left the two yellow flags and were also frightened by the bombing.

Haoge's eyes were already red. He wanted to take his personal guards out of the gate several times, but was dragged by Tan Tai and Leng Sengji.

"Let go!" Haoge tried hard to break free from Tan Tai. Leng Sengji and the others held hostage and shouted sternly, "If you don't let go, I will chop your dog's head!"

"Master." Xifu, Sony's uncle and nephew came forward from the chaos army. He knelt in front of Haoge and said tragically, "The Ming army's firearms are too powerful, and the camp cannot be defended!"

"If you can't defend, you must guard it." Haoge shouted at the top of his lungs. "No one is allowed to escape."

"Master." Sony said anxiously, "If you stay, you can only die in vain. You might as well run away."

"Master, run away."

"If you don't escape, you'll be too late."

Tulai and Tazhan also rushed to Haoge with the defeated generals: "The damn Zasaks and Tushetu people have escaped."
