Chapter 91: No Regrets (6)
"Kill!"
Another Manchurian warrior fell in response, and the shield that had been relied on to display his superb martial arts had been split in half. Half of it still had a broken hand holding the handle, and the other half was still on top of the broken arm, glued together, or a little more restored to its original appearance, but it could not be blocked with a shield again, it was just a pile of deliberately put together.
The broken internal organs were scattered all over the ground, Zhang Keding vaguely heard the sound of vomiting, but he couldn't tell where it came from Such a body of armor is really inconvenient to turn his head and look is one of them, and more importantly, even if he has really killed people on the battlefield, he has also gone through a short period of training earlier, and when the saber really divides the enemy into two, he still can't help but be stunned for a moment.
The term Iron Man Army is actually taken by Zheng Chenggong, which is inspired by the fact that Zheng Chenggong was inspired by the fact that a senior Manchurian officer on the battlefield in Zhejiang was wearing iron armor and was shot into a hedgehog by arrows and could continue to fight. It is not only the trump card unit of the Zheng Group in the land battle, but also the last glory of the ancient Chinese heavy infantry.
According to the exercise, the Iron Man Army is about advancing without retreating. Stunned for a moment, Zhang Keding let out a low shout, and the other two soldiers in the same group pressed the Manchurian warriors who were still standing near the left again.
asked for the style from Li Dingguo, Chen Kai handed over the task of building it to the Chaozhou Manufacturing Bureau, and transferred a group of blacksmiths with the best skills to participate in the construction from the Ordnance Bureau of the Central Left Institute. The three-foot-long blade is made by the hammer of a hydraulic forging hammer, and the blade is sharp, and it can almost be blown and broken. In fact, the manufacturing bureau in Foshan can already undertake the production of iron armor, but such as horse chopping knives, iron boots, iron gloves and iron helmets with iron masks, these all require the participation of the Chaozhou Manufacturing Bureau and even the Ordnance Bureau of the Central Left Institute to complete the production task as quickly as possible and realize the installation of the 300 iron army.
The time is still too short, for Chen Kai, the Foshan manufacturing branch has not been built for a long time, and the production capacity of a single ironclad manufacturing with hydraulic machinery is more than enough, but such as Yunnan horse chopping knives, iron boots, iron gloves and helmets, iron masks, etc., but other workshops need to draw out part of the production capacity is not because the production capacity is insufficient, but the process required for these things requires more skills, which is not the same as that of Foshan, which was taken away by Guo Zhiqi and Lian Chengbi not long ago, half of the blacksmiths do not have.
The iron armor continued to be manufactured, and even stored more and more in the warehouse, but this iron army was belatedly because the weapons produced in Chaozhou had not arrived for a long time. Fortunately, late to be late, the most critical on the eve of the First World War equipment was all sent to the Guangzhou troops, they detoured to Yingde County after the First World War, Chen Kai took them directly to the capital of Ganzhou, and even in order to paralyze Hong Chengchou, even Guangdong Fubiao and Hussar Town were left there, and all the hopes of defeating the Qing army in World War I were pinned on this small army of only 300 soldiers.
As far as Chen Kai's line of sight, the Iron Man Army brandished a horse chopping knife like a hot knife cutting butter, slashing down, and fragments of blood, minced meat, internal organs, armor, cloth, and blades flew wantonly, like snowflakes. Shields, cotton armor, armor, and iron helmets can't stop the blade.
The word invincible is often exaggerated, but at this time, it is not as appropriate as it is to describe it. Because, the end of these Manchurian warriors under the blade is as bad as the grass and trees falling down in the wind, or even worse.
It was like a meat grinder that crushed nearly half of the two white flag bulls that rushed to the front, and in the eyes of the rest, the steel monsters who stepped on the stump and shredded flesh and took firm and heavy steps seemed to have come out of hell. Regardless of any fear or anger, the two Niu Lu Zhang Jing invariably shrank back the remnants, and leaned back against the few Niu Lu who were fighting with the Ming army on both wings, relying on the speed difference between the two sides, it was easy to open a distance of twenty or thirty steps, and arrows, flying axes, javelins, and so on greeted those iron men like a pouring rain.
The sharp arrow tore through the air and let out a scream, and the power of the shot at this distance was no less powerful than that of a bird's gun. The arrows came, but in the stunned eyes of those Manchurian warriors, crackling on the iron armor, and even many arrows had been nailed to those armor pieces, but those steel monsters still did not stop advancing.
"I'm afraid this armor is stronger than what Zheng Chenggong made Feng Chengshi build in history."
A smile crossed his lips as the hydro workshop offered an even larger capacity. What used to take a lot of time and effort to complete by a skilled craftsman gradually became commonplace, and just like in Renaissance Europe, plate armor became less and less expensive from a very small number of powerful people to have heirlooms. Although the shape of the armor is different, the process is the same.
At the same time, in the process of replacing manpower with hydraulic machinery, the quality improvement brought by technology and technology has also affected these weapons and armor. The heavy armor of the Song Dynasty was able to resist the bow and crossbow that was slightly weaker than the Divine Arm Bow and shot at close range, and Chen Kai did it according to this standard this time, because he had not been able to see what Zheng Chenggong's Iron Man Army armor looked like, and he could only design it through imagination according to the historical descriptions in his memory.
Crackling on the armor of the Ming army, some are just rattling, some can feel the point of pain in the force, and some javelins and other spear heads break through the armor leaves and pierce into the flesh, but in the process of breaking the armor, most of the kinetic energy has been consumed, so that even if the flesh is pierced, it is difficult to make more breakthroughs.
As far as the eye could see, another Ming soldier in his group was sticking a javelin in his chest, and the head of the spear seemed to have broken the armor leaf, but the Ming army armor pulled out the javelin that was in the way, but he still continued to stride forward like his comrade who had been shot into a hedgehog by arrows.
Such a scene really shocked those Manchurian warriors jaw-dropping, and those devils who came out of hell were not only murderous and broken in front of them, but also invulnerable. What's more, it seems to suspect that the armor of the Ming army that was shot like a hedgehog is actually nothing more than a dead person, but under Chen Kai's evil magic and demon methods, even if he is dead, he can still continue to fight.
Backwards, and still going. However, the Manchurian warriors in the back were either fighting fiercely with the Ming troops on both sides, or they were used by inertia to move forward. Soon, they had no way back.
In front of him, the Ming army armor was getting closer and closer, and within a few steps, a young Manchurian warrior who could no longer hold back shouted and rushed forward with a sword and shield. Then, with a flash of the sword, the young Manchurian warrior fell to the ground like his predecessors, and the sword-wielding Ming army was only a step slower, and the footsteps were a little faster before recovering from the advance of the queue.
The Iron Man Army pressed forward step by step, and soon, the moment of re-engagement, the slaughter broke out again. Blood flowers and stump flesh were wantonly swaying the afterglow of life, and after only a few moments, the two Niu Lu basically ceased to exist, and then the Manchurian warriors who were still fighting with the Ming army on both wings and those who were still rushing forward were in front of the meat grinder.
As far as Su Ke Saha's line of sight could see, in the center of the gray-blue battle line, the two white flags of Manchurian warriors as sharp arrows broke into the fiery red depression, after a long drive that continued to expand and instantaneously, and soon, with the entrance of those ironclad warriors reflecting the sunlight, it quickly retracted, and it didn't take long for it to be re-leveled in the blood splash.
He didn't know how many Manchurian warriors had died at the hands of those Ming ironclad warriors in the process, and he didn't know how to crack this small army with an unreasonable attack method. At this moment, all he knew was that he couldn't win this battle anymore, and the victory that was once within reach was overturned in an instant with the erection of that big banner!
The battle line was leveled again, and Zhang Keding's side was already the Ming army rattan players who were still suppressing those green battalion soldiers. Striding forward, there was no advance or retreat, and the chopping knife continued to swing, and the adrenaline rushed here, and it played a level that was completely unattainable on weekdays.
The wanton slashing continued, as the Iron Man Army turned into the Qing army's battle line, screaming and erupting first in the queue of the Eight Manchurian Banners that appeared at the end, and the collective horror caused by the unilateral slaughter accompanied by the toppling of this domino detonated these Manchurian Eight Banners in only an instant, and spread to the green camp phalanx on both wings at a speed that the naked eye could not keep up with.
"Defeated, defeated!"
With the Manchurian Eight Banners on the side, the performance of the Green Battalion tends to be better. The most important thing here is the confidence in the Eight Banners of Manchuria, which stems from the huge inertia and habitual thinking of the past few decades since the Liao Incident. However, once the Eight Banners Army collapsed, especially if it had just appeared and was first defeated by the Ming Army without even having a meal, this scene was so shocking in the eyes of those green battalion soldiers that it almost shattered.
In an instant, the defeated plague infected this army of no less than 20,000. In the direction of the capital city of Ganzhou, once the rout began, it could no longer be withstanded, especially behind them, Chen Kai's handsome banner pressed forward, Ke Chenshu and Huangshan's admiral pressed forward, the general army flag of each town pressed forward, and the banner of each association and battalion pressed forward in unison, in the passionate war drums, the Ming army could no longer care about the queue, and rushed forward in a hurry, piercing the spear and slashing the blade on the back of those Qing troops, and there was no longer even any room for it.
The Iron Man Army's counteroffensive was a one-sided massacre, but in that process, the Qing army was at least fighting back, and it was not exactly what it was. However, the scene in front of him, chasing the dead and chasing the north, once the back is against the enemy, then there is no possibility of counterattacking at all, and it is more suitable for the word slaughter than the previous one.
Rushing up and cutting down the Qing army in front of them to the ground, once they entered the rhythm of running, the Iron Man Army seemed a little too cumbersome. However, at this point, the Qing army fled north in a hurry, and the Ming army pursued it unilaterally, and there was no need for these trump card troops to destroy the formation. Soon, the excitement faded, and the exhausted Iron Man Army gradually stopped, and even sat down on the ground, taking off their helmets and gasping for air in the rising heat.
Among them, Zhang Keding was the one who chased the farthest, and when he was really out of strength, he sat down on the ground, took off his helmet, looked at the pursuit in the distance, put his mind at ease, and the exhaustion swept over, and he immediately lay down. However, at this moment, he did not lie directly on the ground, but there was a big flag under him, which should be the flag of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, but the feet of the pair had stepped on, and the words and patterns on it could no longer be seen clearly.
There was only the blue sky left in sight, but I didn't know if there would be immortals watching these cruel battles in the world above those clouds. Maybe at this point where there is no suspense now, most of the audience has already left.
The pursuit of the Ming army was crazy and cruel, and every moment there would be backward Qing troops hacked to death by the Ming army, and even directly taken off their heads and hung on the waist of the murderer. In order to escape death, even if it was just faster than their companions, the Qing army threw away all the weapons, helmets, and armor that could be thrown away in the process of escaping.
It was not a desert escape, the purpose of the Qing army was to flee back to the city, relying on the city wall to isolate the pursuit of the Ming army. As soon as the rout began, the officers and cavalry fled on horseback, leaving only the infantry to be pursued by the Ming army. The battlefield is not far from the company camp of the Ming army, and it is also not far from the capital city of Ganzhou. The rout of the Qing army easily fled to the city, but the city of Ganzhou opened five gates, but the fact that it was surrounded by water on three sides did not mean that the doors were all open to the land route to the south.
There is the pursuit of the Ming army behind it, but unfortunately the city gate will not be expanded because of this, the Qing army is all desperate to pour into the city gate, and the suspension bridge is staged all the time The Qing army was squeezed down the moat. At the same time, as the Ming army was getting closer and closer, the Qing army that had already entered the city was afraid that the Ming army would take the opportunity to seize the city, so they simply forcibly closed the city gate. If it weren't for the urn city at the city gate as a cistern, the Qing army that fled into the city would have entered the urn city first, not just one city gate to isolate the inside and outside, and the city gate would never have been closed again.
A moment later, the Ming army of the brigade approached the city, and the arrows and artillery fire on the city fell like rain, but most of them were scattered on the heads of those Qing troops who had not yet entered the city. For a time, the Qing army outside the city scolded the Qing army inside the city one after another, drowning the artillery fire in it.
The city gate was closed, and the Ming army did not approach rashly, but only watched the joke from a distance, and shot the Qing army with bows and arrows, birds, etc.
Even if they can't enter the city, the defeated soldiers still want to stay away from those Ming troops. Constantly squeezing in the direction of the city wall, constantly having the Qing army being squeezed down the moat, like dumplings, it didn't take a while for the moat to become sticky, at a glance, it was all human heads, you want to fight for me to climb up, you have to step on more comrades like water. At this time, there was no need for the Ming army to kill people, and the Qing army was already inevitably killing each other under the threat of the Ming army outside the city.
This is to survive, and there is no morality anymore. At this moment, in the eyes of the Ming army, it is extremely happy. Soon, the banner representing the reversal of the battle situation appeared in the sight of the Qing army, and the cheers resounded in the sky.
