The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1233

[1233. Chapter 1177 There is righteousness in the world]

densely packed Francons in the world. Taking advantage of the first tentative attack, they immediately began to gather. They brought in artillery. Under the escort of infantry, the artillery slowly advanced. The horses transporting the artillery were walking hard in the mud.

War horses were also transported ashore by landing ships.

Then, the cavalry mounted their horses.

In this era, the world is still dominated by cavalry. Even if they are only musketeers, it can only quickly turn them into qualified soldiers for the recruited farmers.

The cavalry in armor stared at the cavalry in the distance wearing ragged turbans and turbans. They raised their flags and formed a line.

They actually transported enough infantry regiment.

There were three columns, each with 1,200 men. These people were obviously professional battlefield killers. The spearmen quickly formed three dense rows. Each row had 50 to 60 people in front and 20 rows in depth. . At the four corners were arquebus soldiers lined up in dense formations. Immediately afterwards, they began to advance slowly, with cavalry guarding the wings on both sides, and artillery began to arrange their formations.

Above the procession, a royal flag painted with a lion and a castle symbol representing the royal family of Castile fluttered.

Rumble…

the artillery began to roar.

From the gray sky, it looked like falling stars.

This was a test firing of the artillery. It was very powerful, but there were not many casualties.

In the gathering place, a group of Fang Jinglong’s soldiers were also manipulating artillery to ‘fight back’. Both sides seemed to be in the same boat, and both were testing fire.

After the test firing, they began to calibrate each other, calculating the elevation angle and the position of the muzzle, and the amount of gunpowder also began to increase or decrease as appropriate.

In the gathering place.

Yang Shu, the personal guard, hurried to Fang Jinglong’s side and said: “My lord, the other side has many artillery pieces and the gunners are obviously experienced. I’m afraid…”

Fang Jinglong nodded: “Hold it, even to the death. Xinjin must not fall. Send the order…” “

Hold on!”

“Obey!”

the messenger Pegasus conveyed Fang Jinglong’s order to fight to the death.

Behind the rammed earth wall, farmers holding firecrackers and spears cheered.

Their attitude was more resolute than that of the father-in-law. They might not kill him, but they were afraid that the father-in-law would give up Xinjin and run away to avoid fighting.

They went through many difficulties to get here and chose this fertile land to settle. It was full of mosquitoes and wild beasts, and under the watchful eyes of the natives lurking in the forest, they reclaimed the pieces of land on the farmland. , built farmhouses, and here they dug canals for irrigation. In their farmhouses, the number of tools and household items increased day by day. Their crops were about to be harvested, and the wine they hid in the cellars would soon be brewed. Come on, your wealth, life, and all your belongings are here. Retreat, where should you go? If you die, you must die here.

Rumble…

the artillery finally began to roar.

This time, countless shells accurately landed on the gathering place.

In the gathering area, artillery fired back.

The Franco drummers began to beat the war drums, and the priests accompanying the army shouted something. They made the sign of the cross and sang loudly in the team; the gendarme chief and six assistants held the line behind them, spears Hands and musketeers began to march to the beat of drums.

A cannonball fell, and someone fell in a pool of blood. Immediately, the position of the deceased in the phalanx was quickly filled.

In the gathering place, scattered arrows flew out.

Still could not stop the spearmen and musketeers from attacking.

On the other side, the Confucian scholars have begun to sharpen their swords.

They were wandering outside, and the leader, Song Yan, had already raised his knife and shouted: “Kill!”

The word “kill” came out of his mouth, and without prompting, countless Confucian scholars swarmed towards him, and the target… was obviously The artillery team behind the Franco machine phalanx.

Liu Jie was in the team, and the horses under his seat started running wildly. Among the cavalry of seventy or eighty people, he waved his knife and gnashed his teeth. His eyes were covered with a layer of mist. This time he entered the enemy’s formation. , obviously there is no life or death, the Franco soldiers are well-trained in combat, can advance and retreat freely, and have sophisticated weapons. They are not inferior to the pioneers of the Ming army. These professional officers and soldiers are almost the same as Liu Jie from the Ming Dynasty to Huanghuangzhou. The most powerful army ever encountered.

His ears were whistling by the wind, and the horse galloped faster and faster. The leading instructor, Song Yan, left Liu Jie with his back, a slovenly instructor, with a frail body. Next, it turned out to be murderous.

Liu Jie’s eyes were a little blurry. He didn’t know whether it was because of the wind and sand, or at this moment, when he was about to rush into the enemy’s formation, he remembered something. In this world, there are always some things that he can’t let go of. For example, The father who had longed for me, such as… the master who taught me true knowledge through words and deeds, and the meticulous mentor.

“Kill!”

The long knife stabbed diagonally towards the gloomy sky, while the iron cavalry roared.

Immediately afterwards, Franji’s heavy cavalry also began to dispatch. Their heavy cavalry was directly opposite the Confucian scholars, and the light cavalry was used on both wings to maneuver.

Boom…

the cavalry collided.

Liu Jie almost collided with a heavy rider on the opposite side. The moment the two sides collided, the inertia caused the two bodies to fall together.

Heavy Cavalry thrust out his lance fiercely, but Liu Jie barely managed to avoid it, and both of them fell off their horses at the same time.

The heavy armor pressed hard against his body, and he felt that his internal organs had been squeezed out.

The knight on the heavy horse was obviously injured, but he abandoned his lance. He was like a stuffy can with limited mobility, trying awkwardly to pull out the sword from his waist.

With difficulty, Liu Jie dug his hands into his neck and pinched his throat desperately.

Each other was breathing heavily.

this moment.

There was still the roar of artillery, and countless bullets rained down, streaking with tail flames in the sky.

There was loud firecrackers and gunfire, surrounding the rammed earth wall. The militiamen who jumped out from behind the wall fought with the spearmen who tried to cross the rammed earth.

Liu Jie felt that he was dead. He didn’t even know if the heavy knight who fell on him was still alive. His hands were still squeezing his neck, and he was gasping for air.

Seeing the scattered cavalry, they still fought fiercely together.

Song Yan, the instructor on horseback, was blocked by three or four riders. He raised his knife and laughed: “Hahaha… The heaven and the earth have righteousness, and they are mixed and endowed with manifolds…”

His hand He was injured. A Franji ranger came at him with a knife. He turned around and slashed the ranger’s back with a backhand strike.

The Franco man screamed and fell off his horse.

The bloody long knife was raised again. Song Yan was still laughing: “Come on, let’s see what I can do?”

His voice was hoarse and he continued to chant: “The bottom is the river and the mountains, the top is the sun and stars. …”

But at this moment, his good luck ended here.

From nowhere, there was a boom and a musket shot.

Immediately afterwards, Song Yan’s front body was charred black, his knife began to hang down feebly, and the blood from the corner of his mouth dripped down his long beard.

The angry Franco spearman took this opportunity to thrust out a spear and pierced his abdomen hard.

Blood and water emerged like a spring.

Song Yan was still sitting on the horse, but his head was hanging down and his long beard was soaked in blood.

“Kill!” Confucian scholars were still shouting from all directions.

Someone roared: “Do you still remember the historical slips of Qi Taishi, the fox pen of Dong Dong of Jin Dynasty, Zhang Liangzhizhi, and Su Wuzhijie? Today, we are at the end of the road, and there is only death. If we are cowardly, the Holy Science Forget it, if we die, the Holy Learning will be forever prosperous! Kill…”

“Kill…”

………

The cavalry is destroyed.

The rammed earth wall collapsed.

Countless people were still fighting fiercely in the ditch, behind half of the wall, and in the wooden building.

Fang Jinglong had drawn his sword, and he saw more and more Francois starting to get closer.

He turned around and smiled at a young guard: “You go to Xijing.” The

young guard said: “My lord… I’m humble… I won’t leave.”

“Get out of here.” Fang Jinglong glared at the guard: “Your father , you are the only son who followed me and died. I promised to leave a bloodline to your Qin family. When you go to Xijing, tell the Xijing guard, damn, remember to avenge me, Fang Jinglong. Also, I have someone here. The family letter has not been sent out yet. Take it with you and send it out. At least, let my son know that his father has found several big-name concubines for him in Huangjinzhou. The old Fang family wants to continue the family line. Ah, how many more children are there? Of course, this is a secret and must not be known to anyone. And…”

Fang Jinglong was silent for a moment and stared at the young guard: “When reporting to the court, use The sixth poem, I think that my ancestor used this one in Tumubao. Unfortunately… he was lucky and survived and didn’t use it. Now… after the father dies and the son succeeds, I will use this poem. One song, live this remaining life, live well, I don’t have time to explain to you anymore, in the future… you go to my son and tell him that as a father, you have to die. There is nothing to regret, but you can’t do it before you die. , It’s a pity to see Zhengqing, okay, get out.”

He kicked the young guard, who refused to leave, Fang Jinglong roared, and then he staggered away.

At this moment…

Fang Jinglong has a long knife in his hand.

Looking at the countless Francois.

Occasionally, fire cannons shoot out fire.

There were corpses stacked everywhere on the ground.

He roared, and countless people hiding behind wooden buildings, ditches, and mountains of corpses came out one after another.

It rained suddenly from the sky. This continuous drizzle actually had a bit of a hometown feel.

The only flaw is that there is blood in the rain.

In the mud, everyone was fighting together. People were rolling in the mud, trying their best to put sharp blades into each other’s bodies.

Until noon…

On the raging waves on the sea, fleets flying the sun and moon flags slowly broke through the mist and appeared on the ocean surface of Xinjin. The Francons, who had no time to enjoy the fruits of victory, were like a tide. fade away.

………

The first update has arrived, counting on it.
