Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 63 Killing the Enemy

For more than ten days in a row, after Gao Jie, there was not a single defeated soldier in Tongguan, Zhu Yixi was quite disappointed.

However, thinking about it, it must be blocked by the Chuangjun near the township, so no one can reach Tongguan.

"It's been so long, and there's no news from the supervisor, isn't it?" Li Jizu said with hesitation and unwillingness:

"What will we do after this day!"

Zhu Yixi saw that he was starting to struggle again, and deeply suspected that he might be a woman disguised as a man, and he was more sentimental than girls.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Li Jizu was stunned, looking at his malicious eyes.

"nothing!"

Zhu Yixi shook his head and said, "I just thought, brother Li, you are a general after all, how can you act like a woman?"

As he said that, Zhu Yixi emphasized again: "Thieves without a boat must not be able to cross the Yellow River. If Tongguan is guarded, everything will naturally be safe."

To be honest, now he has about 3000 people in his hands, plus Li Jizu's [-] people, compared to those defeated Gao Jie and others, he is more than a chip stronger.

Even if Sun Chuanting returned safe and sound, he, who holds the power of soldiers and horses, would instead be the target of his wooing.

Moreover, Sun Chuanting lost the battle again, and with Chongzhen's harsh personality, he must not be spared.

At that time, he will naturally be independent.

The more critical the moment is, the more we cannot relax.

Therefore, Zhu Yixi and Li Jizu took turns to guard Tongguan.

On this day, late at night, about three o'clock in the morning, there was a burst of shouting and killing from a distance, which shocked Li Jizu all over.

He looked up and saw:
A few miles away, a tired Qin army was being hunted down by thieves several times larger than himself. The distance between the two was so close that it seemed that they could kill them in the blink of an eye.

However, in the torches of the night, a huge flag stands out.

That is, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, Sun Chuanting's big flag and handsome flag, are more than ten feet long, extremely obvious and mighty.

"Open the door quickly, the supervisor is behind."

The cavalry who knocked on the door shouted in a northern Shaanxi accent, which seemed extraordinarily friendly.

Li Jizu was quite impulsive and wanted to open the door.

The lieutenant at the side held back and said, "General, I'd better ask Inspector Zhu."

"That's too late."

Li Jizu hurriedly said: "Didn't you see that the supervisor is being chased? If it's later, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen. How can you and I take responsibility?"

"Open the door, open the door-"

The guards under the gate received the order and slowly opened the city gate.

The lieutenant general sighed, stomped his feet helplessly, and sent someone to notify Zhu Yixi.

Soon, Zhu Yixi was shocked when he received the news, and before he could insult him, he asked someone to call in musketeers and hurried forward.

At the gate of the city, under the flag of the big flag, Li Guo saw the city gate slowly opening, and couldn't help but brows happily: "Although Sun Chuanting was not caught, this big flag is no less than him."

"rush--"

In an instant, hundreds of cavalry rushed in frantically, the gate of Tongguan could not be closed at all, and many guards were killed.

When Li Jizu saw it, he immediately panicked: "How is it possible, this is a big banner, that's right!"

He never imagined that the banner that symbolized Qin Jun would also be taken away.

For a while, Tongguan staged a battle.

However, Zhu Yixi brought hundreds of musketeers to Wengcheng.

The situation in Wengcheng is also very urgent. You come and go to usurp the gate, but the bandit army has the upper hand.

"Damn it!" Zhu Yixi scolded the [-]th generation of Li Jizu's ancestors in his heart, but he couldn't control those at this time:

"Array, reload—"

slam-la-

The musketeers stopped immediately, raised their flintlock guns, and aimed at the bandits who were robbing the city gate dozens of steps away.

"Bird gun?"

The thief general who was fighting for Wengcheng burst into laughter as soon as he saw the musket: "What is the use of the bird guns of your officers and soldiers?"

As he said that, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and only cared about fighting for the city gate.

"Humph!"

Seeing that the inner chamber was cleaned, the musketeer loaded the bullets, and then took out a cardboard box the size of a thumb, which contained gunpowder for a bullet, and filled it into the inner chamber.

After hundreds of drills, everything was ready in just tens of seconds.

"Fire, launch—"

Zhu Yixi drew out his waist knife and waved it with awe-inspiring momentum.

"Ding dong dong!!!"

Accompanied by the sound of flint knocking, the gunpowder was ignited, a large amount of white smoke came out, and hundreds of projectiles were fired together.

puff, puff-

Projectiles covered the entire gate of Weng City, attacking regardless of enemy or friend.

"Continue—" The sight was blocked by the smoke, but Zhu Yixi continued to give orders.

Under the three-round shooting method, the second round and the third round began to shoot in turn, the smoke was lingering, and the smell of sulfur was extremely strong.

After a while, the smoke dissipated.

Zhu Yixi took a closer look, and saw hundreds of corpses lying in disorder near the gate of Weng City, and there were many wailing sounds of pain.

"Good!" Zhu Yixi was overjoyed that the first practice had such a good effect, and hurriedly led the people to continue forward, preparing to pass through the Wengcheng and regain the city gate again.

At this time, a large wave of cavalry and infantry suddenly appeared.

Its equipment is excellent, all of them are armored, and they are supposed to be elite, but they even carry a big banner, Sun Chuanting's big banner.

"So that's it!" Zhu Yixi suddenly realized that in the army, the big banner is equivalent to the commander in chief, where the flag goes, the commander is there.

Once it is cut off or seized, it is equivalent to a defeat.

This is why Li Jizu easily opened the door.

"Huh? So brave!"

Seeing the mess in front of him, Li Guo was furious and said, "Nobody, you dare to hurt my soldiers."

With a distance of hundreds of steps, Zhu Yixi didn't hear what he said clearly, but the other party was coming aggressively, and he was quite difficult to deal with.

"Prepare--"

Not wanting to waste anything, he stared straight ahead, calling the shots.

"Bird gun?" Li Guo stared at it for a while, and then his eyes were sharp: "A hundred paces away, let me see what you can do!"

For a long time, in the duel with the government and the army, the blunderbuss can only shoot one shot, can only be used as a wooden stick, and can only be used as a sneak attack, but the danger of bombing is always accompanied by it.

So, when he suddenly saw the bird guns and saw the corpses on the ground, he thought that these bird guns fired several shots, and if they came again, they would explode in all likelihood.

Relying on this impression, Li Guo grinned grinningly, rode his horse, and galloped forward quickly.

He felt that the long knife in his hand was heating up, and he wanted to tear this unknowing Qin army into pieces.

"Huh? Is it audacity, or is it something you don't know?"

Zhu Yixi was taken aback for a moment, then reacted and said with a sneer: "You seem like a big shot, since you want to die, I will help you!"

"preparation--"

One hundred steps, eighty steps, sixty steps.

"emission--"

slam-la-

"Re-shot-"

"Third shot!!"

Three-round muskets, more than 1000 rounds of projectiles, erupted in the passages of the entire city wall.

Dozens of cavalrymen in front neighed for a moment, their bodies covered with blood holes.

But the leading cavalry was extremely fast, the horse fell down more than twenty steps ago, and the rider's body was thrown out, only ten steps away from Zhu Yixi.

His face was still ferocious and unbelievable.
