Yunnan Province, Kunming.

Kunming is famous all over the world for its "Spring City", where the mountains are beautiful and the folk customs are very different from those of the Central Plains.

Kunming is the most prosperous city in Yunnan and Guizhou, when Wu Sangui was the king of Pingxi stationed in Yunnan after the rebellion of the three feudatories was pacified, the Manchu Qing Dynasty set up the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Although it was divided into the governor of Yunnan and the governor of Guizhou several times, they were finally merged into one. The governor's palace was also changed from Qujing, Yunnan and Anshun, Guizhou, to Kunming, Yunnan.

At this time, it was the height of summer in July, but the climate of Kunming was still very pleasant, but at this time, the feudal officials who were almost extremely popular were said to be the emperors of the southern country, but the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Fuchabei and Nuo, felt anxious.

Since Kangxi was promoted to the governor of Yungui in the forty-fourth year of his reign and the commander-in-chief of the military administration, he has not felt smooth. First, Li Tianji and Wang Zhiye made a rebellion in the name of King Gui, and then there were the elusive bandits who killed the squires in the Yungui area.

Whether it was before or now in the rebellion of the three feudatories, the Qing Dynasty's control over Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangzhou, was very weak, and at most, it was chaotic and fought once, and it was never calm.

It is a sure thing that Yungui has a thief, whether it is a charlatan scum or a local natives of all ethnic groups, they are all harboring ghosts. And the natives are more difficult to manage, always seeing the wind to make a tuo, waiting for the weak and fierce people in the court to dare to make trouble for you, and when the court army presses, they can't beat and flee into the mountains.

In the past year, how many times have he sent soldiers and horses into the mountains to suppress bandits, and most of the soldiers and horses will get lost in this 100,000 mountains in Yunnan and Guizhou, or encounter miasma and suffer heavy casualties.

These things also led to the unstable morale of the officers and soldiers in the towns under him, and they had to be appeased, but even if he sent the pension money down, the families of the dead and wounded soldiers would not be able to get half of them. This is all officialdom practice, this was the case in the pre-Ming Dynasty, and it is not like the rebellion of the three feudatories more than 20 years ago, the saint will also reuse the green camp, and he will personally intervene, and the bottom will be restrained.

Bei Henuo wrote a statement of regret, hoping that the imperial court would appoint a general to encircle and suppress the mountain bandits, stamp the official seal, and order his subordinates to send it out early tomorrow morning.

He couldn't sleep for a while, so he went out of the study, went to the courtyard, looked up at the bright moon that had gone to the middle of the sky, and sighed.

……

There is a folk proverb that says: "Kunming City, three mountains and one water." "Both Yuantong Mountain, Wuhua Mountain, Zuquan Mountain and Cuihu.

The Ming Dynasty repaired Kunming City to open a total of six gates, namely the Great East Gate, the Northeast Gate, the Great North Gate, the Small West Gate, the Great West Gate, and the Great South Gate.

Outside the south gate of Kunming City, late at night.

It was the middle of the month, and on a sunny day, there was no need to light torches for the night march, but the enemy from a distance could not see these soldiers in the green uniforms of the army. And they are led by the local "militiamen" who can almost close their eyes and never go in the wrong direction.

A lot of military supplies have also been smuggled to the cottage before the start of the war to hide, during which each village has a total of more than 100,000 cottage people to cooperate with the transportation and hiding, the people also know that there is a cave, there is a cottage, there is a water source, which road is easy to walk, this is the terrifying power of the people's war, Yuyao also sighed that it is worthy of Mao/grandpa's magic weapon to win.

The help of the people of all ethnic groups in the cottage deeply moved the officers and men of the Xinghua Revolution, and they realized more that the commander-in-chief said that we must fight for the people, and we can only rely on the people the most.

……

Out of the wooded path outside the city, the soldiers had lined up silently, lining up for the precise location of their weapons and ammunition.

Yu Yao looked at the black shadow of the city wall rising in the distance under the moonlight, and the city wall tower was quiet, after all, although there was civil unrest in Yungui, those violent people have never been able to attack fortifications, and they have never had decent offensive weapons. After they landed on the shore, under the leadership of the "militia," they scattered all the way to camouflage and lurk day and night, and it took more than ten days to touch the vicinity of Kunming City. And this evening they marched hastily from the mountains, and after three hours they finally assembled outside the city gates.

"Commander-in-chief, the formation of the team has been completed, and the hour has come, please give the order. "Li Qian, the commander of the 'Li Dingguo' division, approached and said to Yuyao.

Yu Yao's eyesight is good and he also has mental power, and he has already found that the soldiers who are pressed by the black pressure are lined up in an orderly manner.

The first echelon is an artillery company, which is also divided into a red-coat artillery platoon and a mortar platoon, the red-coated cannon was bought from Portugal by Yuyao at a large price in recent years, and the quality is excellent, and there are Portuguese mercenaries to teach Chinese operation. The mortar is an earth mortar, a kind of arc track attack weapon, but there is a "soil" word, of course, it cannot be compared with the mortars of later generations.

The origin of mortars can be traced back to the 13th century, and the creation of the first mortar in the modern sense is also related to China. Of course, it was not the great Chinese people who invented it, but when the mortar was invented, China was being pressed by the great powers at the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. During the Russo-Japanese War, Russia and Japan were competing for Lushun in China, and the Manchu Qing at that time still proclaimed "neutrality" with great "grace" -- this is also a kind of ability, shameless ability.

At that time, the Japanese army dug trenches to approach the Russian position, and the Russian artillery could not do anything against it, because the artillery on the straight track had a dead angle for shooting. As a result, the Russian artillery captain "Leonid Nikolayekovich Gobiato" used an old 47mm naval mortar modified on a gun carriage with wheels, fired a long-tail shell at a large elevation angle, and the shell drove into the trench along a parabolic trajectory, killing a large number of Japanese troops, effectively repelling many Japanese attacks.

Lao Yu's previous life soul was dressed as Tang Xinwei and was in the last days, and she was different from the apocalyptic lifestyle of advocating the ability to circle her own base, but relied on the regular army from the people to save the world by herself, and the equipment she used was mostly thermal weapons. For decades, she has been familiar with the design of the structure of various thermal weapons, just like you must be able to assemble firearms to learn shooting, she has been a regiment commander, division commander, army commander, and marshal, and she is also familiar with various equipment.

However, at this time, there was almost no industry in China, and even the major workshop-type military "industrial chains" in the Dabie Mountains and the Nanyang Boni Kingdom introduced some equipment under her guidance and the system of rewarding craftsmen, and concentrated their efforts for many years, and the thermal weapons only produced flints/guns, mines, grenades/shells, and explosives bags with various processes that were not difficult.

The cannons, cannons, and howitzers she bought from the Portuguese or the Dutch at great expense, and now they are all in the eighteenth century, and these cannons have long been in modern significance in Europe. Now there is no arms embargo in Europe, she is the most popular buyer of European artillery, as long as the things are good, she is also happy, after giving them some sweetness, now the businessmen of the two countries are grabbing her orders.

In line with the spirit of humility and self-sacrifice when the reform/opening up introduced foreign technology, she also thought that the Chinese would use it if they bought it, and as long as they laid down half of the country, the steelmaking capacity would be improved, and they would not worry about not being able to build their own guns.

This time, the elite officers and men of the "Wanderer" Division, the "Li Dingguo" Division, and the "Golden Phoenix Guerrillas" divided into four routes and went straight to the four gates of Kunming.

Since Li Qian was not Yuyao's personal disciple, she did not have a clear understanding of his ability to lead the modern army to attack the fortifications, so she personally attacked the Great South Gate with Li Qian. The other three gates are Zhang Jinfeng, Zheng Yonghua, and Zhang Tiejun, chief of staff of the "Li Dingguo" division, who is the winner of the Golden Chinese War Knife, an outstanding graduate of the third phase of the military academy.

At this time, Zheng Yonghua, the commander of the "Wanderer" division, had also formed a good military formation in front of the Great West Gate, and the night owl life for more than ten days made him very adaptable to the night.

Looking at the dark shadow of Daximen, he was leisurely fascinated and sighed: "It's finally about to start ......" As a Chinese hot-blooded young man, how can he have the dream of "willing to carry 100,000 tigers and wolves to break Loulan with a horizontal knife immediately"?

And Zhang Jinfeng was very excited at the Great North Gate, but the real "IQ responsibility" among the four brothers of the dragon and phoenix couldn't help but be proud, let Tang Balong stay in Dabie Mountain for a few years to ignite the revolutionary spark, and it was only his turn among the four brothers in the first shot of the uprising. Just like when his mother Tang Xinwei was the first to reuse him to kill zombies. He always thought that he was the child that his mother relied on the most, and he didn't want to compete with Tang Balong's "simple-minded and well-developed limbs", just look at his mother's arrangement.

Zhang Jinfeng was intoxicated for a while, his eyes were finally clear, he looked at his pocket watch, closed it with a snap, he pulled out his command knife, and shouted: "A platoon of artillery, towards the gate, shell me!"

When the nine red-coated cannons, divided into three squads and three echelons, bombarded the Great North Gate, the sound of cannons from the other three gates sounded at the same time.

When the bombardment of Kunming City, there was no need for soldiers to report it, and all the officials of Kunming City were also awakened. The soldiers on duty at night who could resist the cannons, and they did not have fire/guns in their hands, and when they heard this cannon sound like the wrath of Thor, they were so frightened that they shrank in the corner of the wall. But there were also those who dared to climb up to the top of the city when the sound of the cannon stopped, and faintly saw the black oppressive figures in the moonlight, and when the fire clouds were bright with a loud noise, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and they were suddenly frightened and urinated.

The Kunming city gate in the Qing Dynasty could not withstand the night attack and artillery bombardment of the Xinghua Revolutionary Army, and the officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion were frightened and urgently assembled and sent to the city gate. But at this time, the gates of Kunming City had been blasted through, and the officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion on the side that Jin Feng was in charge of had not had time to climb the city wall, and the Xinghua Revolutionary Army had already poured into the city gate.

The green camp was also * in the late Kangxi period, and in the Qianlong period, there was even a situation of "archery, arrows were missing, riding horses, and people fell to the ground" during the Qianlong military parade.

The equipment of the battalions of the Kunming City Defense Battalion is only knives, guns, spears, and arrows, and even if there are some antique cannons, it is too late to transfer them out now.

The commander who was responsible for guarding the Great South Gate tonight finally had a sense of responsibility, and when he saw that the sound of the cannon was gradually subduing, he gritted his teeth and ordered the former archers and infantry to go up to the city wall and shoot again.

However, the Xinghua army was engaged in a night attack, and there were not enough bows and arrows prepared on the city wall, and now the Xinghua army was still bombarded two hundred paces away, and it was good that the bows and arrows of the green battalion could shoot fifty paces.

The commander of the bow battalion went to the battlement of the city wall to take a look, faintly found the problem, and shouted in horror: "Stop firing arrows!"

However, most of the arrows have been wasted, and the officers and men of the Green Battalion are no longer "peace-loving" and the revolutionary army is on the rise.

Division Commander Li Qian shouted at the artillery company: "Open the artillery!

The artillerymen adjusted the elements, and after a while, they heard two loud bangs, and the cannonballs hit the city walls, and the whole earth shook with it. Artillery, is the god of war, Si/Dalin is really honest and does not deceive me!

Yu Yao saw that after the artillery bombardment, he also saw that the city wall was in ruins, and before Li Qian gave the order to fire again, he hurriedly said: "Division Commander Li, the bows and arrows of the Qing army are gradually subsiding, it should be almost out of arrows, while they have not yet transferred arrows from the treasury." Let's get in line. ”

Li Qian is fighting for the first time in the end, and he is a little kind and doesn't want casualties, but Yuyao knows the basic combat timing, and Ci is not in charge of the army. Although Yuyao is in charge here, if it is not necessary, she is unwilling to go past Li Qian's command as the commander-in-chief, which will hurt his prestige.

Li Qian thought that Yuyao was not very satisfied with his command, but fortunately he was a person who was willing to accept other people's opinions, let alone Yuyao, the commander-in-chief.

"Infantry three platoons march forward!"

The infantry companies of the "Li Dingguo" division advanced in three columns in an arc on the left, center, and left, but the middle one had four companies in two layers and three rows in depth, while on the left and right sides there were only two companies in three rows.

Three-row shooting is the basic, because although it is said to be a flintlock gun, there is an interval between each bullet.

Three rows of fire, once encountering the enemy, three lines can take turns to fire, forming a continuous fire.

Advancing in an arc was to prevent the Qing army from pouring out of the city gate, so as to facilitate the formation of an encirclement and crossfire.

Yu Yao watched this decent formation advance, his scalp was a little numb, and he just wanted to make a sound, but he found that a large group of green battalion infantry rushed out at the gate of the city, and Yu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

The soldiers shot in three rows, and after firing one shot, they immediately squatted down to load their bullets, and the soldiers in the last two rows stepped forward from the just right interval without changing their faces, and then took turns in turn.

One of the features of a modern army is the training queue, which is interspersed with skill.

The Qing soldiers rushed out to meet the battle with knives and guns, and saw neat rows of figures, their footsteps like a snapping sound.

The soldiers of the Xinghua Army had not yet begun to shoot when they were fifty paces away, and when they reached within fifty paces, the commander of the Green Battalion Bow and Arrow Battalion ordered the arrows to be released. However, the Xinghua fire/gun infantry acted as if they didn't see it, even if the soldiers of the green battalion occasionally had a character explosion and shot at the Xinghua army personnel, the Xinghua army's infantry formation did not change its face and did not care about the wounded, and even the wounded themselves gritted their teeth and kept silent, and the people in the back immediately filled the vacant seats, and then the back row was adjusted in turn. After a while, the Green Camp defenders ran out of arrows.

At this time, I only heard a loud voice shouting: "Stand up! Prepare to shoot!"

The Xinghua army stopped, raised its flintlock pistol, and only heard the sound of gunfire, and the dense crossfire of the arc-shaped array was like a harvester when the Qing troops with spears and broadswords rushed up.

The Green Battalion guards had been attacked in the middle of the night and had been bombarded by artillery, but in the dark they couldn't see that they were holding a different fire/system than they had ever seen.

After being shot, the Qing soldiers fell to the ground one after another, screaming again and again, this most ordinary frontal firefight, these low-status, lax-trained Green Battalion Qing soldiers could no longer bear it, and some people wanted to run back. It was useless for the military attachés to shout orders, and they drew their swords and cut a few of them, and most of them still fled again.

The battlefield outside the city gate was filled with gunsmoke, but the moon was still so cold and beautiful.

"Comrades, get on the bayonet, follow me!" At this time, Yuyao had rushed to the front at some point, and she regarded herself as a company commander on the front line. She also carries a flint/step/gun, which is loaded with a □□/knife that looks strange in this era.

This malignant weapon designed beyond the times, once it enters the human body, the sides of the wound cannot squeeze each other to achieve natural healing and hemostasis, so it is extremely difficult to heal. The blood groove on the three-edged stab/knife will lead the blood out, introduce air into the internal cavity or blood vessels of the person, form an air embolus to block the blood vessels, and the eight-centimeter wound in any part of the human body will basically be reimbursed.

The soldiers also heard the voice of this special girl on the battlefield, and saw her figure nearby, and these recruits couldn't help but be demoralized.

It is important to know that shooting and killing people and seeing red with a bayonet are two different things, and the pressure and courage required by the latter are not comparable to the former.

Thousands of Xinghua fire/spear infantry have rushed up, and the meat/battle is extremely tragic for a while, and the Qing army's broadsword and spear fancy are just bullying the common people.

These soldiers who have been trained for at least a year are simply fighting which opponents are. More than 200 corpses were thrown down in just one minute.

Even a few generals of the Green Battalion were deliberately bitten and killed by Yuyao, and at this time, the Qing army did not have any will to fight.

Yuyao shouted: "Surrender and don't kill! Surrender and don't kill!"

The Xinghua army shouted: "Surrender or kill!" The voice wafted back and forth across the land at night.

The Green Battalion infantry had now finally found relief, and they threw down their swords, guns, and spears.

Li Qian also brought the cavalry platoon, reserve brigade, and militia regiment assigned by the "Golden Phoenix Guerrillas" to receive and manage the prisoners.

Li Qian ran to Yuyao's side and said with a wry smile: "Commander-in-chief, how can you come and charge without making a sound? What should you do if something happens? Division Commander Zheng, they will kill me." ”

Yu Yao said: "These are just the guards of the green battalion, let's hurry into the city, we should be able to meet the soldiers who came on the way." ”

Li Qian's martial arts are actually not weak, he is enthusiastic, and he also has some prestige among the Burmese Chinese, and even pulled many friends with some identities in Myanmar to join the revolution, but he is really lacking in the practice of modern regular army warfare.

He also knew that Yu Yao took a fancy to him, except for his enthusiasm for the revolution, that is, he was not a narrow-minded person.

Li Qian was ashamed and courageous, and decided to follow Yuyao firmly, learn from practice, and ask for more advice. Otherwise, how could the "Li Dingguo" division hold its head up in front of the "wanderer" division and the "Golden Phoenix guerrillas"?
