Chapter 1090: Stuck in the Mud


Behind the Ming army's large array, Zhao Ming sat on the horse and watched the Zhou army press up."

The regent is already seventy-five steps!"

Zhang Jiayu said.Seeing that the infantry of the Zhou army was approaching, Zhao Ming was behind the Ming army's front, and he could clearly see the Zhou army rolling in the thin smoke.Zhao Ming sneered: "Wu Sangui wants to shoot closely!"

Pass the order, and the musketeers will shoot at the widow!

”The chess and card officers of the Chinese army waved the order flag when they heard the order, and in the red Ming army front, the officers of each team blew their long whistles one after another, and the officers shouted: "Raise your gun!"

”At this time, Zhou Jun stepped on the mud and walked in the paddy field with heavy legs, and his speed was a little slow.The soldiers held the flintlock pistols in their hands in both hands, heard the long whistle like the sound of the swan on the opposite side, and saw the Ming army on the opposite side in the sound of the order, all raised their guns in unison, and pointed the muzzles of their guns at themselves, and their hearts suddenly sank.At this time, the whistle of the soldiers of Zhou who hoped that their side would stop advancing did not appear, but the drums were more hurried.Finding that the Zhou army was about to shoot at the Ming army on the opposite side, he quickened the drum beat, urging the soldiers to continue to advance, wanting to rush to the front as soon as possible.Sergeant Zhou walked forward quickly, but many people were stuffed in the mud, and at this moment, a whistle sounded in the Ming army formation on the opposite side, and the gunfire of "bang bang bang" on the Ming army front exploded like a thunderbolt, bursting with countless white smoke.In an instant, on a mile-long front, dense firelight flashed, and the sound of a salvo was deafening.The advancing Zhou army's front rose up with a bloody mist, and a miserable scream sounded, and nearly 100 soldiers were shot and fell to the paddy fields.This caused a commotion on the Zhou army's front, but the soldiers continued to move forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot.At this time, on the watchtower of Zhou Jun, Hong Chengchou's face suddenly sank, "Your Majesty, something is wrong, the speed of the infantry is too slow!"

”Wu Sangui also found that the speed of the Zhou army's advance was relatively slow, "Could it be affected by the mud?"

”"Bang bang bang" On the Ming army's front, the sound of a salvo of gunfire rang out again.As soon as the soldier with his foot in the mud pulled out his foot, he was shot in the forehead and fell backwards, splashing a cloud of muddy water.On the hillside, Zhao Ming sat on the horse and smiled smugly.Last night, he asked the cavalry to repeatedly trample on the paddy field with a width of 70 paces before the Ming army preset the battlefield, and trampled the mud in the field.As the night passed, the muddy water gradually cleared, and from a distance, although there was a color difference, it was not clear that there was much difference.At this time, the Zhou sergeant stepped on the paddy field, and many people were unable to move their legs normally for a while, but at this time, the Ming army musketeers continued to shoot in an orderly manner."

Your Majesty, it must be Zhao Zamao who has all his hands and feet!"

Hong Chengchou said urgently.After the rain, Zhou Jun also knew that the road was muddy and difficult to walk, but he felt that it would not be like this.Wu Sangui's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Keep moving forward!"

”The advancing Zhou army was miserable, and the soldiers were shooting against the Ming army, trekking through the mud, moving slowly, and becoming the target of the Ming army's gunners."

Why don't you fight back!"

Sergeant Zhou in the front row shouted in his heart.The soldiers who fell into the mud wanted to pull out their feet, but there was another "bang" of gunfire on the opposite Ming front, and many soldiers couldn't help but close their eyes in despair to meet the trial of another volley."

Your Majesty!

The front army is about to be defeated, hurry up and return fire with a volley, how many enemy troops can be killed, how many enemy troops can be killed!

”Hong Chengchou was in a hurry, and if he went on like this, before he reached thirty steps, more than 20,000 people were shot to death as targets.Wu Sangui also saw that it was not okay to continue to move forward, but he was not allowed to shoot once in thirty steps, Wu Sangui was really unwilling in his heart, but in the face of the actual situation and reality, Wu Sangui could only order in annoyance, "Quick, the whole army counterattacks!"

”A horn sounded, and the Zhou army, which was now in the mud, finally waited for the order to stop advancing and counterattack.The sound of the drums stopped abruptly, and the soldiers of Zhou stood in the paddy field, their feet deep in the mud.The officer covered in mud blew the long whistle and shouted loudly: "The whole army raises its guns~" Before he could shout and shoot, on the winding earthworm-like front, the gunfire of "bang bang" rang out, only the retreating Zhou soldiers and soldiers couldn't wait to shoot, and a piece of gunpowder smoke rose on the front.In the sound of gunfire, on the opposite side of the Ming army's front, the soldiers fell in response, and the medical team stepped forward with their waists and dragged the wounded soldiers and the killed soldiers back, and the Ming soldiers in the back row raised their guns unhurriedly and stepped forward to shoot again.After the first platoon of the Zhou army finished shooting, they stepped on the muddy water and hurriedly retreated, and the second platoon hurriedly stepped forward and fired at the Ming army, and then the third platoon fired.Three rounds of firing, between the two armies' fronts, the smoke of gunpowder filled, and the soldiers who were shot fell to the ground, forming a thick line."

Shoot again!

Shoot again!

The first team stepped forward, the first team ~" The general of the Zhou army shouted.The first group of non-commissioned officers was still loading, and many of them were urged by the officers, and their hands were shaking and either they could not load the ammunition, or they were missing the necessary steps.Just three rounds, Zhou Jun raised his gun and fired, that was because the three teams of soldiers had loaded their ammunition in advance, but after shooting, they needed to be reloaded.At present, the speed of loading and firing of the Zhou army is actually not slower than that of the Ming army, but the Zhou soldiers have to step on the mud, and retreat to the rear for reloading with one foot deep and one foot shallow, which consumes time.The officers shouted repeatedly, but the soldiers in the first row had not yet finished loading, and by this time the Ming army had already raised their muskets."

Bang bang bang" There was a burst of gunshots, and the roaring Zhou army generals, their bodies trembled, and a cloud of blood mist rose from their chests, and they fell on their backs in the muddy water, and the Zhou army, who had not had time to finish loading, found an exclamation, and the team retreated like a.Seeing this, Wu Sangui smashed the watchtower with a fist, his face full of chagrin.Hong Chengchou hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, there is still a chance, I feel that I should let the rear army, arrange the defense line, and wait for Zhao Zamao to attack!"

”At this time, behind the Ming army front, Zhao Ming, who was sitting on the hillside, saw the Zhou army's musketeers collapse, couldn't help laughing, and waved his hand suddenly, "Musket team, get on the bayonet, and give the widow a pursuit!"

”The roaring trumpet sounded, and the Ming sergeants put their bayonets on their muskets and charged forward with a shout.However, the Ming army front did not charge in the field, but chose the passage in the paddy fields in front of the formation, planted with small colored flags, to avoid falling into the mud like the Zhou army.Zhao Ming ordered the cavalry to trample on the paddy fields and create silt, but instead of trampling all the areas in front of the front of the front with horses' hooves, they left a number of passages so that when the Zhou army was defeated, the Ming army would charge from these marked passages."

Kill!"

The Ming army, armed with bayonets, shouted in pursuit, and because they avoided the silt area, they quickly caught up with the tail of the Zhou army's rout.The Ming soldiers squatted down and shot, and the projectile hit the back of the Zhou army, killing the Zhou army, and the soldiers who raised their bayonets bravely and directly entered the rout.()
