Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 5 Bloody Battle at Guangqumen, Mongolian Heavy Cavalry Archers
Not long after, two groups of heavy infantry from the Fifth Army Battalion came out from behind Zhu Cihong, equipped with heavy armor, holding wild goose feather knives, thick round shields, and tasseled helmets.

Zhu Cihong didn't talk nonsense with them, and immediately ordered them to take over Zhang Zhong's formation and fight a bloody battle with the intruders.

Now Zhu Cihong has invested 300 soldiers on the battlefield, which is less than the soldiers on the opposite side, but it is more expensive than the elite.

The two sides fought for a while, and Zhu Cixiang was surprised to find that the number of people on the other side did not seem to decrease at all.

How is this possible? I sent out the heavy infantry of the Fifth Army Battalion. Unless the intruders on the opposite side all drive Gundams, there is no reason why they cannot be killed.

Then the only explanation is that reinforcements from the intruders have arrived. Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He thought to himself: He was only one step away from Guangqumen, and he would be able to leave the city to complete his mission soon. If he was blocked by intruders, would he have to admit that he was here?
No, I'm not reconciled, I was so lucky to time travel to become the crown prince, but it's a pity that I was a prince in the last years of the dynasty, but I got the system again, I don't believe that I am so unlucky, I will definitely change my life against the sky.

Zhu Cilang had an idea, and thought of a way, so he gathered all the guards and cavalry around him, and dismounted one of the cavalry, and let him ride the horse.

"Brothers, escort me out of the city and kill these intruders. Let's fight our way out of the capital. As long as I am here, the Ming Dynasty will not be destroyed!"

After all, Zhu Cihong, under the escort of the remaining 90 cavalry, charged towards the Chuang army who was fighting fiercely with the heavy infantry of the Fifth Army Battalion.

Zhu Cihong thought about it, only in this way can he change the current situation, as long as he leaves the city, he will be considered as having completed the task, then he can exchange for a new force in an instant, return to the city, and rescue King Ding and the others.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The tactics of the Imperial Guard Fire Gun Cavalry are still the same, first shoot the enemy with the hand gun, and then chop with the Yanling knife.

But it's such old-fashioned tactics, coupled with their courage to fear death.

The guards and gun cavalry who came forward one after another used their lives to pave a way for Zhu Cihong to go out of the city.

When they came to the gate of the city, several intruders saw the guards and cavalry firecrackers coming, and hurried over to stop them, but they were easily cut in half by the Yanling knife.

"Quickly dismount and push the door open, while the rest organize defense." Zhu Cixi came to the bottom of the city gate tower and saw that the city gate was closed, so he quickly asked the soldiers to dismount and push the door open. He was only a few meters away from completing the task. distance.

At this time, a general wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, a bright light armor, and a Yanling knife in his hand came over with dozens of heavy infantry.

"Where did the thief come from, dare to attack the city gate guarded by me, He Lan."

Zhu Cilang remembered the name, He Lan, seemed to be General You Guoyi, the rear camp of the fifth battalion of Dashun.

Fortunately, he asked the soldiers to dismount and defend in advance. The dozens of cavalry remaining under the city gate tower should be able to block Helan and the others for a long time.

"Drink!" He Lan held the Yanling Saber, and with a single stroke, a guard of fire gun cavalry was killed.

Seeing this scene, without looking back, Zhu Cihong burrowed desperately into the crack of the city gate.

"The host completes the main task and establishes [-] war points. The current balance of the host is [-] points, and the host will be rewarded with an advanced lucky draw opportunity."

"Quick pump, fast pump." Zhu Cihong stood outside the city, his eyes fixed on the turntable in front of him.

After turning the turntable for an unknown number of times, it finally settled on the Mongolian heavy cavalry archer.

Mongolian heavy cavalry archers, focusing on people and horses. The riders wear heavy armor, wear heavy armor, and carry a small wooden round shield with grassland characteristics on their backs. There is also a prairie machete at the waist as a melee weapon.

Even the horses under the cavalry's crotch are wearing a leather horse jacket. Although it is not enough to defend against sharp blades, it is not easy for ordinary arrows to pierce.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Cihong immediately summoned him, and at the same time exchanged them for two teams of heavy infantry from the Fifth Army Battalion.

"Kill!" Following Zhu Cixiang's order, the two hundred heavy infantrymen of the Fifth Army Battalion rushed into the city gate, followed closely by the Mongolian cavalry.

"What's going on here? How could there be so many enemy troops suddenly?" He Lan couldn't understand why Zhu Cihong suddenly had so many reinforcements. He remembered that there was nothing outside the city.

It's a pity that before he could think for a while, a heavy Mongolian cavalry archer drew out a heavy arrow, picked up the bow and set the arrow, and shot Helan's Tianling Gai in an instant.

After He Lan's death, the Chuangjun around him was in a mess, and suddenly lost their fighting spirit. The heavy infantry of Zhu Cihong's Fifth Army Battalion seized the opportunity and hacked randomly.

When Zhu Cihong came in, he could only see corpses lying in disarray, and broken limbs scattered everywhere.

As soon as He Lan died, the rest of the Chuang army was no good. Zhu Cihong led three or four hundred people and easily defeated the hundreds of Shun troops who had fought fiercely with the infantry of the two hundred and five barracks.

Seeing them throwing down their weapons, taking off their armor, and running like desperately, Zhu Cihong felt that he could kill them all with Mongolian horse archers as long as he gave an order.

But he didn't have that need, it was more important to get out of the city as soon as possible.

After everyone left the city, King Yong ran over to him and said, "Brother Huang, you scared me to death just now, I thought you were going to leave us behind."

King Yong was young, and in Zhu Cihong's eyes, he looked like a gentleman. Looking at his innocent expression, Zhu Cihong said, "How could I abandon you? My father died. As the prince, I will be the emperor in the future. I have an obligation to take care of you."

According to the law, what Zhu Cihong said was not wrong, but the implementation situation may not be like this. He doesn't even have a territory, and only a few hundred soldiers on hand, so why should he be emperor?
Not to mention that he is now in the enemy-occupied area, and the entire North China is now owned by Dashun. It is difficult for him to even protect himself, let alone enthroned and inherit the throne.

"Well, Brother Huang must be a good emperor. He must be able to kill trespassers to avenge father and mother." Yong Wang raised his pink fist and said to Zhu Cihong with a vicious look.

"Haha, that's for sure, but now the emperor needs to think about practical things first."

"For example, how do we go to the south of the Yangtze River now?" Zhu Cihong said meaningfully, facing south, looking at the white clouds floating in the distance.

Jinling is the capital of the Ming Empire. If Zhu Cixiang wants to ascend the throne, it is best to go there. Only where he ascends the throne can he comply with the legal principles.

However, Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from Beijing and Tianjin, so how they get there is a big problem.
