On the official road, the Emperor of Guang Dong's carriage and Li Shaoquan's carriage were slowly moving forward under the protection of the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 1st Infantry Division.
There were many pedestrians on the official road connecting Jing Capital and Jin Wei, and the trade was very busy.
However, when these pedestrians saw the carriages protected by the army, most of them avoided them.
In this era, the commoners were afraid of the government.
On a hill not far from the main road, the commander of the left wing, Tu Lu, and a few of his trusted subordinates were watching the situation on the main road.
"Commander, are we really going to make a move? Murdering the emperor was a capital offense!”One of the officers was a little worried.
"Humph! Can we still stop now? Moreover, we'll take a risk. If we succeed, we'll enjoy endless glory and wealth! His Highness has already promised that after he succeeds, he will appoint me as the commander of the Nine Gates. At that time, all of you will be the chief soldiers. Moreover, the little Emperor only knew how to mess around and even asked to cut his braids. It was said that he even wanted to abolish the privileges of the Banner people. Wasn't this messing around? This was completely trying to bring down the Ming Dynasty! We are doing this to save the Ming Dynasty!”Tu Lu didn't forget to put on the label of a loyal person.
The other generals nodded.
Although there was a risk, the higher the risk, the higher the benefits!
If they succeeded, they would have endless wealth and honor for the rest of their lives! In fact, their descendants could also enjoy the good life.
Under such circumstances, they were naturally willing to take the risk.
"Brothers, are you ready?" Tu Lu asked.
"It's already prepared. As long as the time was right, he would immediately take action!”a general answered.
"Very good, then the glory and wealth of the big guy will be in this dynasty!”Tu Lu's eyes were filled with madness.
On the official road, a carriage was moving forward.
Suddenly, the carriage's axis broke and the wheel fell off.
This caused the carriage to be unable to move forward any further, and it just so happened to block the path of the Emperor of Guang Dong and his entourage.
The emperor's carriage also stopped.
"What happened?" Emperor Guang Dong asked.
"Emperor, there's a carriage in front that's broken. The brothers of the new army were preparing to go around!”Zhang Haojie replied.
The emperor nodded and didn't pay much attention to it.
However, just as the emperor's carriage was not far from the broken carriage…A sudden explosion sounded.
The broken carriage suddenly exploded, and flames soared into the sky.
The huge power caused the surrounding soldiers of the new army to be blown away.
Even the emperor's carriage was overturned.
"Men, there's an assassin! Protect the Emperor!" Zhang Haojie shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Idiot, shut up!" The Emperor of Guang Zhou was not killed by the explosion, but he was slightly injured.
With Zhang Haojie's roar, if all the soldiers gathered around him, wouldn't that be pointing out the direction to the assassins and telling them that the Emperor of Guang Dong was here?
Zhang Haojie also came to his senses and quickly shut up.
The infantry battalion of the new army had just been formed, so it was inevitable that they would fall into chaos.
Fortunately, the battalion commander, company commander, and platoon leader gave orders loudly, calming the troops down.
On the mountaintop, Tu Lu and the others couldn't help but cheer loudly when they saw the carriage explode.
"Haha! He ordered his brothers to attack immediately!”Tu Lu ordered.
"Tsk!" A few of the generals answered immediately.
Immediately, over three thousand soldiers in old-fashioned military uniforms and carrying all kinds of weapons rushed down from the mountain.
"Kill!"
"Kill the dog emperor and protect the Ming Dynasty!”
"The commander said that everyone who kills the little emperor will be rewarded! Whoever killed the little Emperor would be promoted three ranks and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!”
A large number of soldiers rushed down the mountain.
"Prepare for battle!"
"Set up the heavy machine guns and rapid-fire cannons!”
The officers of the new army gave the order in time.
After the initial panic, the soldiers of the new army were ready for battle.
They had no time to set up a defense line. They could only kneel on the ground, raise their rifles, and aim at the new soldiers charging down the mountain.
Maxim heavy machine gun and 37mm rapid-fire cannon were also pulled over and set up.
"Fire!"
Following the battalion commander's order, the 37mm rapid-fire cannon and Maxim heavy machine gun began to fire.
"Dong dong dong! Da da!"
A series of artillery shells and bullets were fired at the soldiers.
The rebel soldiers who had no formation and were charging in a concentrated manner were hit head-on.
Many rebel soldiers were blown to pieces, and many were shot into a sieve.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The soldiers of the new army fired their 1871 rifles.
Although the new army had just been formed, after a long period of live ammunition training, these soldiers 'marksmanship was already passable. At the very least, they were much more intelligent than the rebel soldiers.
This caused even more soldiers to be killed.
