Prince Chongzhen

Chapter 490 is so boring!
"Snapped!"

"Be quick!"

With a crack of whip and a shout, the confused soldiers immediately dispersed from Tong Yangjia's vicinity. While he was paying attention to the changes in the battle situation, he could not help feeling a little anxious.

At this time, more than an incense stick of time had passed since the gun formation was destroyed by Ahachong, but the soldiers under his command were still unable to form a formation.

This is partly due to the influence of Aha, but the deterrence brought by the previous rounds of shooting cannot be ignored.

If it were an ordinary time, he might have become anxious.

After all, the numerous Ahas have blocked all shooting angles, and it would be difficult for the musketeers under his command to do anything even if they reorganized their formation.

But he was still not at ease.

As the saying goes, one works hard, then fails, and three times it is exhausted.

After all, Aha is also a human. Although his courage can be re-enforced by the swordsmanship of the supervision team after being defeated several times, he will inevitably suffer a backlash if it happens too many times.

The generals are well aware of this and will replace them with other Ahas depending on the situation.

But this time and that time.

The Ming army he was facing now was not only well-equipped and had sufficient firepower, but the soldiers themselves were also highly motivated and in high spirits.

Under such circumstances, if they still followed the previous method, they would only waste the Ming army's gunpowder and leave a pile of corpses.

However, the interests will eventually change as the situation develops.

Such a method of deploying the entire army would naturally create enormous pressure on the Ming army in an instant, but if there really was a large-scale rout, it would not be something that the Half Thousand Commanders' Squadron could control.

With this understanding, he was able to quickly regroup his scattered troops, just in case.

But then again, at this time, Aha had already fought his way into the Ming army camp under the suppression of the supervision team. As long as the situation on the battlefield remained unchanged, winning this victory was expected.

just
Turning around to take a look at the formation that had just taken shape, Tong Yangjia couldn't help but frown.

Ah Ha has already reached the enemy camp, but these guys are still lingering on the pile of dirt.

With this in mind, he swung his whip, and his horse suddenly rushed out. The general actually abandoned his men.

He understood clearly that although the gun formation could play a role in suppressing Aha when a large-scale defeat occurred, the most important thing at the moment was to focus on the changes in front.

After all, with a general who can take a panoramic view of the overall situation and commanding the rear, the supervisory team can reach the location of the rout more quickly under his command.

By then, the large-scale collapse that was brewing would be suppressed, but it would also buy some time for reorganizing the gun formation.

After about ten breaths, Tong Yangjia had arrived behind the Ahas. He then found a slightly higher slope and climbed up with several of his personal soldiers.

At this position, the vast number of Ahas could no longer obstruct his vision, but when he really saw the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

What the soldiers reported earlier was not wrong. Aha had indeed entered the Ming army camp.

But the Ahas seemed to be blocked by something, and the sea of ​​people became a funnel that penetrated into the Ming army camp.

"Bah! Bah! Bah!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Listening to the roar that continued to come into his ears, Tong Yangjia quickly figured out the Ming army's deployment.

Although this was just a small trick and could not have a fundamental impact on the overall situation, it was similar to the method of surrounding three sides and leaving one side missing. In that huge camp, only the gate was bearing Aha's impact, while all the firearms in the camp could fire calmly.

What a thief!
Seeing this situation, Tong Yangjia couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he was no longer a rookie on the battlefield, and the impact of this change was limited to this.

"Go ahead and pass the order to have the supervisory team push forward a little more."

As soon as he finished speaking, the personal guards following Tong Yangjia went to different places. When the military order was passed on to each team, Aha at the back rushed forward desperately under the urging of the supervising team, and even the funnel was flattened a little.

He did this not to encourage the Ahas to charge at the camp wall, but to put more pressure on the camp gate.

When it comes down to it, everyone knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Under the drive of the supervising team, the unlucky guy was killed by various firearms in the Ming army camp, but under the influence of these two forces, the pressure on the Ming army camp gate was bound to be several times stronger.

As time passed, the funnel formed by Aha became flatter and flatter.

Under such circumstances, the corpses lying outside the camp naturally piled up more and more, and the funnel shape also became more restrained.

But these things were of no significance to Tong Yangjia. His attention had never shifted away from the camp gate since it was set on it.

After all, in their eyes, Aha is not even as good as an animal.

It was inevitable to treat the animals better when things were going well, but now the owners were struggling themselves, so who would care whether the animals died unjustly?

After a while, the interacting pressures finally reached the gate of the Ming army camp. Seeing that the speed of Aha's surge was gradually increasing, Tong Yangjia immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He was somewhat impressed by the adaptability of the Ming army generals. If the war continued at the previous pace, the Ming army might have waited until Aha was defeated on a large scale. Fortunately, he was not waiting for the gun formation to be reorganized. This time, he responded in time. According to the current situation, it would only take a moment to break the Ming army's defense.

Thinking of this, Tong Yangjia couldn't help but smile, but then a series of thoughts came to his mind and his eyes became a little scattered.

The situation of their Tong family has not been good in recent years. The older ones have passed away one after another, and the next generation has not yet grown up.

At this point, he was the only one still useful in such a large family, and the glory of the two dynasties was about to disappear.

God has eyes, and he finally saw through the Ming army's plan. As long as he continues to press forward, the camp of tens of thousands of people will be broken into by Tong Yangjia. By then, with the credit for turning the tide, how could he worry about the Tong family not being able to prosper?
As his thoughts turned, the smile on Tong Yangjia's face grew wider and wider, but at this moment his entire mind was immersed in his vision of the future, and he did not even notice the sporadic noises mixed in with the orderly gunfire of the Ming army.

After a while, Tong Yangjia withdrew his thoughts contentedly. When he looked towards the gate of the Ming army camp again, he saw that the speed of the Ahas seemed to slow down again. A wave of doubt immediately arose in his mind.

It doesn't make sense.

Even if the Ming army set up millstones in the camp, it would not have any impact on the outside world.

Is it
It doesn't make sense.

As his mind turned, he moved his gaze back.

Tong Yangjia had experienced many battles and was quite sensitive to changes in the battle situation. In just a moment, he discovered that the slowdown in the surging speed in front was due to the reduction in pressure in the rear. Then he cursed in his heart and spoke harshly.

"Pass the order! Send the supervisory team!"

Tong Yangjia realized that he was alone after he had only said half a sentence.

He knew very well that if this military order was not issued in time, the Ming army would have a chance to catch its breath. Without giving it much thought, he urged his horse forward while searching for Aha in his formation.

It was obvious that he was going to find a few people from the Supervisory Team to pass on the message for him, but to Tong Yangjia's surprise, the Supervisory Team, which were supposed to be scattered throughout the formation, seemed to have hidden themselves, and no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any of them.

What a bunch of reckless people! They were asked to supervise the battle but they rushed to the front on their own.

Thinking of this, Tong Yangjia suddenly felt a fire of karma in his heart. However, at the moment, issuing military orders was much more important than punishing the soldiers. He then stopped his horse and cast his gaze towards a farther distance.

After a few days of peace, they forgot about military law. After this battle, they will have to teach those kids a lesson.

Tong Yangjia continued to search in the Aha pile while secretly getting angry.

There were indeed quite a few supervisory teams sent out this time. However, after three or five breaths, he found a familiar figure in the distance. However, that figure was not with the other comrades, but was actually squeezing towards the back against the flow of people.

Seeing this, Tong Yangjia was shocked and angry.

These were elite soldiers who had been with him for many years, but he never expected that they would become so cowardly in just one year.

It was only thanks to the large numbers of Aha that they were able to gain the advantage. If they had really relied on them to charge into the battle, who knows how badly they would have been defeated.

The thought did not delay Tong Yangjia's actions, but when he was rushing towards the soldier with the sword in his hand, a flower of blood splattered on the opponent's head without any warning, and then the figure disappeared in the group of Aha.

Is this a cold arrow! ?
As soon as he had any guesses in his mind, he immediately suppressed them. Afterwards, he found another supervising soldier in the Aha pile, and then stared at the other person, wanting to see what had happened.

"Bah."

When the two rounds of firearms were fired, Tong Yangjia caught a sound as thin as a mosquito's buzz. At the same time, blood splattered on the soldier's head as before, and his face immediately showed shock.

As the leader of Wuzhen Chaoha, how could he not know what caused this?

But ordinary muskets would have difficulty hitting the target at a distance of eighty or ninety steps, so how could it be as expected?
The conflict between common sense and reality made the general Tong Yangjia stunned.

Perhaps it was because of his concentration, the sound that was out of tune with the other gunshots was already extremely clear in his ears, and the figures that kept falling to the ground were easily captured by his unfocused vision.

Send more people! As long as we stay farther away, the Ming army's firearms will not be able to hit us!
After a brief moment of daze, Tong Yangjia immediately made a judgment, then he turned his horse's head and prepared to go back, but at this moment a flower of blood splattered from behind his head, and then he fell on the horse's back, but the warhorse just galloped away, unaware of the death of its master.
-
"Yes! He must be a high-ranking official!"

Just when Tong Yangjia lost his life inexplicably, Chen Si, who was on the watchtower, suddenly slapped the shoulder of the soldier next to him.

After his captain was given the Jingwu A-type musket, he was retained by His Majesty in Yingtian. All he did all day was shoot at targets and learn how to hide from the scouts.

At first, he thought he would not be able to participate in the Northern Expedition, but who would have thought that after practicing for so long, this middle-aged man could already hit the target more than a hundred steps away, while the war in the north was still in a stalemate. After hesitating for a long time, he found Xiang Rensheng.

There is no need to say more about what happened next. With such archery skills, His Majesty will not stop me.

However, according to the original plan, their thousand-household team was supposed to kill the Qing army's generals during the battle, but they didn't expect that this first time they showed up, they were only used on some of the supervising teams.

"After all, he is young, but his eyesight is much better than mine!"

After a teasing, Chen Si also raised the musket in his hand, but he seemed to have no talent for long-range killing. He fired several times but did not achieve any results.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but curl his lips. Then he looked at the soldiers beside him and climbed down the ladder from the watchtower.

At this time, the Qing army's supervisory team near the camp gate had almost been completely cleared out, and the remaining ones were not as rampant as before. At this point, their mission was basically completed, and it was reasonable for them to go to the commander's flag to report a few things. However, when Marshal Chang ordered someone to pass the message to the rear, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Is this how we're going to fight future battles? That's so boring."
