Chapter 8 Killer Feature

Wu Sangui squinted at the Ming army at the head of Kunming City, and forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart.

Zhu Youlang and Li Dingguo actually felt that they could hold Kunming and did not run away in advance.

It's ridiculous.

Since the Qing army attacked Guizhou, it has been invincible all the way, and it has not been challenged much at all.

Now that they have just changed the battlefield in Guizhou to the battlefield in Yunnan, do they think they can defend it with a city?

However, the siege war is always a loss for the besieging party, Wu Sangui and Zhao Butai are well aware of this, and they don't want to use the elite under their command to wear it down, but send the green battalion soldiers to consume the Ming army's defense resources.

Compared with the old Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Eight Banners, the Green Battalion soldiers have more or less, and there is still a stubble after cutting.

These green battalion soldiers were originally Ming soldiers, but now they have become Qing troops, and they do not hesitate to rush to Kunming City in order to show their loyalty.

They were so numerous that they looked like ants from the top of the city.

"Hmph, a bunch of shameless scum!"

Zhu Youlang gave these green battalion soldiers a contemptuous evaluation.

In Zhu Youlang's impression, the green battalion soldiers are a group of guys who have milk and are mothers. If the Ming army is strong, they are the Ming army, and if the Qing army is strong, they are the Qing army.

There have even been ridiculous instances of the same army repeatedly jumping sideways.

It's really the king flag of the city, and loyalty, filial piety and righteousness are a fart in their eyes!

"Your Majesty, many of these troops are the defenders of Guizhou originally, and they know our army's strength and defense very well."

Li Dingguo cautiously explained on the side.

In fact, he still felt a little guilty in his heart.

If he and Sun Kewang had not met each other, Sun Kewang would not have surrendered after the defeat.

Sun Kewang did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing army would not have such an understanding of the Ming army's defense situation in Guizhou and even Yunnan.

The reason why the Qing army was able to be invincible in the Guizhou battlefield was that Sun Kewang's intelligence was crucial.

Sun Kewang even personally wrote a letter to the generals of the Ming army in Guizhou to persuade him to surrender, promising a lot of benefits.

Many of these people used to be Sun Kewang's subordinates, and after Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was even more optimistic about the form of the Ming Court, and it was their idea to surrender and gain fame and fortune.

Zhu Youlang saw Li Dingguo's face ashamed, and knew that he was blaming himself, so he comforted: "I understand what King Jin means, but one person does things and everyone is responsible, and everyone should be responsible for what they do." I don't want to, and I won't be too widely implicated in this matter because of Sun Kewang's surrender. ”

Li Dingguo said that, but he never thought that the emperor would say such a thing, and he was surprised.

In this day and age, everyone has their own chain of allegiance.

For example, Li Dingguo's chain of allegiance is to the Son of Yongli.

And Bai Wenxuan and others are against Li Dingguo.

This allegiance is highly hierarchical, and it is rare for a hierarchy to be overstepped.

Therefore, after Sun Kewang surrendered, the generals who were originally loyal to Sun Kewang did not hesitate to surrender.

And these generals who have surrendered are not related to the Ming army in Kunming and even Yunnan?

It's impossible.

And now His Majesty the Emperor has openly expressed his position, which seems to be standing up for him Li Dingguo, but in fact it is to appease the military spirit of the Ming army in Yunnan.

His Majesty the Emperor has characterized Sun Kewang's rebellion as his personal problem, and at most it will involve those rebellious Sun Kewang's subordinates.

As for Li Dingguo's department, which is also in the camp of the former Great Western Army, the most elite army in the Ming Court now, His Majesty the Emperor will not pursue it.

"Ministers, soldiers, thank you for your grace!"

Li Dingguo took a deep breath and said loudly.

The words of the Son of Heaven were completely dismissed, but the scruples of the soldiers.

"I personally beat the drums for the soldiers!"

Zhu Youlang bowed slightly, picked up a drum hammer and struck it.

Under the sound of drums, the soldiers of the Ming army were stunned for a while.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was high up in the city, not only ascended to the top of the city today, but also beat the drums himself, something they had not dared to think about before.

Your Majesty is so heroic, what reason do they have not to die for Your Majesty!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

...

...

He Gang, the commander of the green battalion, roared and ordered his soldiers to charge.

The green battalion soldiers, dressed only in cotton armor, rushed to the moat with wooden planks on their shoulders.

They had to use the planks to build a simple pontoon bridge, and then storm the river as soon as possible.

As long as they reach the city wall, they are much less dangerous, and they can set up a ladder to officially attack the city.

It's just how the Ming army will give them a chance, the cannons at the head of the city roared, and countless shells were fired at them.

"Ahh

Fragments from the explosion of a cannonball flew directly into the stomach of one of the Green Battalion soldiers, who fell to his knees and clutched his stomach and wailed in pain.

What's going on with this shell? Why did it explode?

He had the impression that the shells were all solid!

There are not a few green battalion soldiers who think like him, even if they are not killed by shells in the first place, they will be injured by shell fragments and eventually die of excessive bleeding.

He Gang, the president of the green camp, was also confused.

What's going on here?

Did the Ming army hide any weapons of mass destruction?

Under the fierce bombardment of artillery fire in the sky, the mentality of the vanguard army of the Qing army was completely shattered.

Countless Green Battalion soldiers began to throw away their armor and turn around and flee.

Seeing this, the forward commander Berhetu was furious, and ordered the Eight Banners Army Law Team to hold their positions strictly, and the Green Battalion soldiers who fled back were killed.

Burst!

With a single slash, the head of a Green Battalion soldier suddenly rolled into the mud, blood gushing out of his neck and scattering three steps away.

Yes!

This scene suddenly frightened the deserters and looked at the Eight Banners in horror.

These bannermen were all burly, holding a steel knife in their hands, and they were fierce and vicious without any emotion.

The deserters were stunned for a moment, but finally gritted their teeth and turned their heads to run in the direction of the city wall.

Since attacking is also death, and escaping is also death, it is better to attack, so that at least there is a glimmer of life.

Even if you don't survive in the end, it's better to survive for a while longer than to be in a different place immediately.

Human beings are such realistic creatures, and they will always make trade-offs in front of interests.

At the same time, at the head of Kunming City, Zhu Youlang, the great son of the Great Tomorrow, was excited by the scene in front of him.

He had already made up his mind to defend Kunming, and when the war really began, the sensory impact of the roar of artillery fire made him quickly enter the role.

"Fire, don't stop!"

The originally suppressed emotions exploded at this moment, and Zhu Youlang and the soldiers quickly became one.

"Your Majesty has a will, open fire, and kill these Eastern captives!"

"A dog thief who fights for a tiger is not worthy to live in this world!"

Zhu Youlang had already taught the Ming soldiers how to use these Prussian guns. For those soldiers who had used artillery, the Prussian guns were not complicated and could be used quickly.

"The time has come to serve the court, brothers kill captives and serve the country!"

"Avenge the tragic death of our brethren!"

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

...
