My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 120 Unilateral Massacre
Following Li Wenzhong's order, the Ming army soldiers from the sniper battalion and the musket battalion, who had been impatient for a long time, raised their guns at the same time, aimed, and then pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

In an instant, countless tongues of fire flashed in the dense forest, crisp gunshots continued, and bullets like a storm poured towards the Yuan army!

Just when the Mongolian soldiers were still wondering where the noise came from, suddenly, they saw many of their companions who were singing and dancing just now, all fell to the ground!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

A cavalry captain finally reacted and shouted loudly, but before he could shout a third time, his head was blown apart by a bullet!
Zhu Di skillfully pulled the bolt, unbarred the gun, loaded the bullets, shot it with one hand, loaded the chamber, and then continued to aim and shoot.

The set of movements was smooth and beautiful. He had practiced the operation procedures of the needle-fire gun no less than ten thousand times. Now that he officially entered the battle, he didn't need to think with his brain at all. He operated the gun completely based on instinct and muscle memory!

"Pick up the ones with higher positions and beat them up. Remember, whoever has higher position will be beaten up first!"

While he was giving orders, his hands never stopped. He just blew up Uzhir's head, and now he blew up the head of a Mongolian captain. The feeling of blowing heads was incomparable!

In the dense forest, under the command of Zhu Di and Xu Huizu, two hundred snipers and three hundred musketeers moved towards the west of the Yuan army while fighting, preventing the Yuan army from fleeing to the west of Daning City, while also attacking the Yuan army coming out of Daning City to support.

The 700 musketeers, under the command of Li Wenzhong, fought and moved eastward and gradually forward, further compressing the space of the Yuan army.

Gradually expand the distance of the fire line to make it more convenient for firepower output, while also gradually encircling the Yuan army!
I'm afraid Li Wenzhong never dreamed that with only 1,200 soldiers, he could form such a fierce siege against 30,000 elite Mongolian cavalry!

At the same time, Tang He also sent 500 cavalrymen to attack the Yuan army camp, but the target of these cavalrymen was not the Yuan army, but the Mongolian cavalry's horses and their yurts!

Batu and Wujir chose to set up camp outside the city of Daning. On the one hand, it was because the cavalry were not good at defending the city. If they were stationed outside the city, once they encountered an enemy attack, the cavalry could quickly mount their horses and charge the enemy, thus giving full play to the cavalry's advantages.

On the other hand, because there were too many horses, it was impossible to feed them if they were brought into the city, so it was much more convenient to keep them outside the city.

Of course, the main reason was that Batu did not take the Ming army seriously. He was so arrogant that he did not believe that the Ming army could be a match for his elite cavalry!
However, what he did not expect was that the Ming army actually launched a night attack, and he did not hear any movement!

how did you do that?
His careful arrangements became a ready-made target for the Ming army!

How could such a large-scale attack be carried out without any warning beforehand? Moreover, Wu Rier had also arranged elite troops as sentry posts!

Batu was dying at this time. Looking at the tongues of fire that kept coming out of the dense forest, he understood that they were firearms. The Ming army was using firearms to launch a sneak attack!
But in this world, where can you find firearms with such a long shooting distance? It is even far beyond the crossbow of the crossbowmen, and the shooting speed is like lightning, constantly spitting out bullets!

Where in the world can you find such a sharp firearm?

How hateful it was that these damn Han people used such horrible firearms to slaughter his Mongolian warriors, but he himself was completely helpless and could not even protect himself!

He hated himself so much. He hated that he had not yet marched to the Central Plains and taken back the vast and fertile land. He hated that he had not yet cut off Zhu Yuanzhang's head, but had to die in this northern wilderness!
Just when he was filled with resentment, another bullet hit him, shooting directly into his eye socket and blowing up his brain!

Many Yuan soldiers whose brains had been burned by alcohol still hadn't reacted at this time and became victims of the Ming army's guns one by one.

The cavalry under Tang He shot horses while drawing their bows and arrows, shooting flaming arrows at the Mongolian army tents one by one, setting fire to the entire Mongolian camp.

The horses were frightened and rushed around recklessly, killing many Yuan soldiers.

The Yuan army who were sleeping soundly in the military tent saw the tent on fire and fled in panic, but were continuously shot by the musketeers!

At this time, many Yuan army officers had already reacted, but their formation was already in chaos and they were unable to organize an effective counterattack.

"Coach, coach!"

A captain tried to call Batu and Wuzhir, but he saw a scene that frightened him!
He saw Uzhir with his mind blown, white brain matter mixed with scarlet blood flowing out from the back of his head.

Batu was also in the same condition, with blood oozing from his chest and shoulders, and his death was extremely horrific. Then many Yuan soldiers saw this scene, and this time, they were even more panicked!
When did their master Wanhu die?
This is simply creepy and terrifying!
When fear reaches its extreme end, it turns into extreme madness. Many Mongolian strong men, waving axes and sabers, rushed into the dense forest like crazy.

Then, what awaited them was merciless gunfire. They fell under the gunfire before they could even get a hundred steps closer to the dense forest!
"Musketeers! The Ming army used muskets!"

At this time, many Yuan army generals had already realized that since the Ming army had musket teams, their Yuan army also had them!
The Yuan army picked up their muskets and tried to shoot at the Ming army in the dense forest.

However, the muskets in their hands were extremely complicated to operate. First they had to load gunpowder and then bullets. They finally managed to master the entire gun-operating process and were finally able to shoot, but they found that they could not hit the Ming army at all!

How could the Ming army’s muskets shoot so far? Did they use magic?
The Yuan army was terrified. They were shocked by the Ming army's muskets. How could they fight back?

The Yuan army was no match for the enemy in firearms, and they couldn't hit the enemy, so they could only passively take the beating. This feeling made the Yuan army extremely uncomfortable.

When had they ever fought such a frustrating battle?

Even when he was driven to the desert by Zhu Yuanzhang, he was not so cowardly.

How ridiculous that I was still dreaming of recovering lost territory and restoring the glory of the Yuan Dynasty, but now I am being slaughtered by the Ming army in Daning City!

But they forgot that their hands were also stained with the blood of the people and defenders of Daning!

The soldiers of the Ming army found this scene funny. With a musket that looked like a fire stick, they thought they could compete with the Ming army's needle-fire gun?
Are you qualified?

The Yuan army in the camp fell down in waves as if they were being cut like leeks. The singing and dancing just now turned into wailing.

Seeing that the time was right, Li Wenzhong contacted Tang He through the walkie-talkie and said, "General Tang, come in!"

"It's finally my turn!"

Tang He, who was guarding the important road in the northeast, had a smile on his face, and the cavalrymen behind him could not wait any longer!

"My men, the time to make achievements has come. Follow me!"

"Kill!"

Four thousand elite light cavalry, riding on war horses, rushed towards the Yuan army camp with a momentum as powerful as thunder!

Seeing Tang He leading the cavalry to attack and killing the Yuan army that had already been in chaos, Li Wenzhong ordered the soldiers of the sniper battalion and the musket battalion to march into the city of Daning and catch all the evil Yuan army soldiers in the city!
The entire battle, from the time the first shot was fired to the end, took less than an hour. At this time, except for some soldiers from the musket battalion and sniper battalion who were still searching for the escaped fish in the city, the battle outside the city had been declared over.

After counting the results of the battle, everyone was excited and felt incredible.

20,000 Yuan soldiers were killed or wounded, 8,000 were captured, and the remaining 2,000 remnants hiding in the city would probably be wiped out in no time.

In addition, a large number of Yuan army war horses were seized. Excluding those that ran away or died, there were still about 10,000 horses.

Six thousand against thirty thousand, such a brilliant record, but it was not what made the Ming army soldiers most excited.

What they found most incredible was that, apart from a few hundred cavalrymen who were slightly injured, there were no other casualties on their side!
This was simply unimaginable in previous battles!
In previous battles, even if one had a force several times greater than the enemy's, it would still cost a considerable price to defeat the enemy.

However, apart from the cavalry, the soldiers of the sniper battalion and the musket battalion were not killed or even injured.

Zhu Di and Xu Huizu were happy but also shocked. This was the power of the needle-fired gun. No one expected that this epoch-making weapon would have such a crushing effect on the enemy!

Tang He was inspired and found a direction for the development of cavalry. In the past, cavalrymen used to ride and shoot bows and arrows, but now they had more convenient firearms, so they could train cavalrymen who could ride and shoot at the same time!
