"After we wipe out these 5,000 men, we will immediately rush to Jining City. I believe that Jining City is already very empty, and it will be very easy to capture Jining City. As long as we capture the dog emperor, we can achieve our great cause."
Wang Haoxian also nodded with a bright smile on his face.
However, Wang Haoxian knew in his heart that Xu Hongru was just trying to reassure him.
At this point, things are already hopeless. How could it be so easy to capture Jining City?
But you can't just give up at this time, right?
If the others surrendered, they might have a chance to survive, but if the two of them surrendered, they would definitely die.
In such a desperate situation, I can only cheer myself up. No matter what the opponent's true situation is, I can only believe it in my heart.
Wang Haoxian laughed heartily and said, "God is really helping me!"
The two of them were so relaxed that although their subordinates were still nervous, they felt a lot more relaxed.
The army soon arrived at Jialonggou and deployed their battle formation.
Qi Jin looked at the troops on the opposite side and said directly, "From the looks of it, they've already formed their formation and are about to attack. All troops, prepare!"
The new army was very excited.
The journey out of the capital was a long and tiring one. This time, I finally had the chance to make a great contribution, so I naturally wouldn't let it go.
Forty taels of silver per head, that's a lot of money.
Even if these people were rebels and their heads were not worth that much, ten taels of silver would still be worth it. In this way, this was a great opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune!
Such opportunities are hard to find, and even if you come across them, they may not come to you.
Xu Hongru looked at the Ming army in front of him and said directly: "Kill them and capture the dog emperor alive! Charge!"
Following Xu Hongru's shout, the people around him rushed forward shouting and holding swords. The archers also prepared to shoot arrows, and both sides started charging directly.
As for the Ming army, their formations were neat and well-equipped with sophisticated flintlock rifles. Although there were only two thousand of them, it was enough.
They marched forward in unison, making clang clang clang sounds. The Vulcan rifles fired continuously, and the sound of bang bang bang continued to echo in the valley.
In an instant, smoke covered the battlefield, and bullets flew densely towards the opposite side.
The rebels in the front fell like wheat being cut, and the offensive was blocked in an instant.
The cannons that had been set up on the hillside also opened fire at this time, bombarding the rebel camp.
The entire new military camp of 5,000 troops was equipped with 120 artillery pieces, all of which were Napoleon cannons. Light cannons like the Tiger Cannon were not included at all.
In the new army, each small flag, that is, a squad of ten people, is equipped with a Tiger Cannon, which can be said to be a regular equipment.
A centurion has ten Tiger Cannons, which is enough for a small sniper battle.
Amid the roar of artillery, the Ming army rushed forward and the rebels were basically defeated at the first blow, with no chance of resistance at all.
As the bodies piled up, the rebels at the rear turned and ran.
After seeing this scene, Xu Hongru felt overwhelmed.
What's going on?
What is going on?
How could this happen?
This was different from what he had imagined. He had fought against the Ming army before, but even though the Ming army was strong, he still managed to win sometimes.
But there is no hope in this battle.
Qi Jin didn't care about all this and directly ordered the people behind him to attack.
Qi Yuangong had already led 500 men and charged directly towards Xu Hongru.
The cavalry were still very fast. They had short guns on their waists and the most sophisticated cavalry guns in their hands.
You should know that when the Qi family army was fighting in the north, Qi Jiguang trained musket cavalry, also known as spear cavalry.
These people rode on horseback, circling constantly and firing their muskets continuously, and even each person was equipped with two muskets. As long as the cavalry rushed forward and fired a round of horse shooting, the enemy would be thrown to the ground.
This branch of the army was not widely deployed at that time because it was too expensive. However, in the new army, the emperor attached great importance to this branch of the army.
Even Qi Jin was a little hesitant about this, as he felt that His Majesty seemed a little too paranoid. Although he asked His Majesty why, His Majesty did not say.
Qi Jin was well-versed in the use of this type of troops. Back when he served under Qi Jiguang, Qi Jin had seen his uncle employ this tactic many times. It was the tactic his uncle used against the Mongol cavalry, and it was highly effective.
The usual tactic was to launch a counterattack after friendly forces blocked the Mongolian cavalry, first killing a large number of enemy troops with muskets, and then engaging in close combat.
With this type of army, Qi Jiguang swept across the Mongolian tribes and won every battle.
Qi Jin felt that using this method to deal with the rebels before him was a bit of an overkill, but the effect was very good.
After the musketeers charged forward, the rebels had basically no way to stop them.
The sound of musketry continued to bang, bang, bang.
The people standing in front were dispersed in an instant, and the cavalry's speed was not even affected.
Because there is no need to draw the bow and aim like a bow and arrow, the cavalry gun has a very fast firing rate.
Xu Hongru naturally also saw that the formation was in chaos, and he was swept away by the defeated army.
At the same time, Xu Hongru knew in his heart that he was completely finished this time. The firepower of the army before him was too sharp. His army collapsed as soon as it came into contact with them. It was simply wishful thinking and even more impossible to defeat them.
