Chapter 649: Nanyang Security War (5)

It's just a matter of holding it up. This palanquin of Yusupu is not so much a means of transportation as a mobile mini palace. The sedan chair is exquisitely made, the materials are gorgeous, and the decoration is luxurious. Inside, there is a winding path corridor, and there is a cave. Use wooden partitions to distinguish the living room, bedroom, and changing place. And with a number of eunuchs waiting outside, at any time to listen to the call of His Majesty the Sultan.

As for Yu Supu himself, he was bored in the dormitory at this time watching several dancers twist their snake-like flexible waists, showing their charming body language in front of him. In front of his couch, at the bottom of the palanquin, in a huge fish tank, more than a dozen colorful tropical fish swim happily in the fish tank made of glass.

There were a few mermaids in front of him, and more than a dozen tropical fish at his feet, but Yusupu Sultan still felt so uninterested! Maybe the atmosphere on the whole battlefield is too depressing and killing, so that his energy can't be invested in the appreciation of art, he just wants to vent the ** in his chest and crotch!

He pulled over a dancer who was closer to him, and pulled off the already scarce clothes with two of the three, and then got up with the dancer Hu Tianhu on the fish tank carefully made by the craftsman.

(For students who are skeptical about Yusupu Sultan's means of transportation, you can refer to the moving three-bedroom apartment of Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Xiangguo, as well as the palanquin of Yang Xiuqing, the eastern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who can raise goldfish in the palanquin of the spokesperson of the Heavenly Father.) )

In the sedan chair, His Majesty the Sultan galloped on the dancer, and several dancers around him obediently served the two of them and the joint part according to his preferences. The sound of panting was heard through the heavy curtains and wooden walls.

Outside the car. Sixty-four human shock absorbers were covered with sweat from the sun, but they didn't dare to move at all, allowing the sedan bar to tremble slightly and rhythmically on their shoulders.

With the big sedan chair of Yusupu Sultan as the core. Tens of thousands of rebels lined up to see an extremely vast formation, stretching for several miles, more than a mile deep! Sultan Yusup had gathered all the armed forces he could muster and was ready to give these damned Kafil a head-on blow in front of the royal city, and after hurting them, he forced General Lee to sit down and negotiate and recognize his supremacy over Java. Then wave your division to the west and drive those damned god-believing heretics out into the sea!

Around the banner representing his royal power, the core of his army was neatly arranged. The most elite of the Guards. Under the green silk flag with the star and moon scimitar as the main pattern, several guards were dressed in battle robes and covered with Nanzhong steel armor, and they proudly pointed in this direction with the whip on horseback, not knowing how to talk about it. I was talking about the results of that small contact just now. Behind each of these people are pro-soldiers holding high green recognition flags, which are covered with colorful characters. I don't know what it's written on.

A sturdy man selected by the Guards. Although he is small, he is quite sturdy. The military uniform on his body is neat, and he has a knife and gun in his hand. Outside, there are various armor to distinguish the unit formation, and the leaders of all levels also have iron helmets, and ordinary soldiers use bamboo hats as helmets. Like the Nanyue Army, the troops at all levels were distinguished by military flags, and these soldiers stood around the leader according to their respective units.

In front of the queue of the Guards. There was also a procession of about three or four thousand people, carrying firearms on their shoulders, waiting for orders. The front of the line of firecrackers. It was lined up, and more than 20 cannons of various calibers were lined up.

However, on the two flanks of the Guards, the various rebel and tribal forces that were recruited were far less neat and powerful than the Guards, with chaotic formations, various weapons, and strange clothing. However, what can be used to distinguish friend from foe is the green flag fluttering in the camp, which is in stark contrast to the red battle flag in the array of the Nanyue army opposite.

"From bows and arrows to serpentine knives, from bamboo spears to firearms, these guys have it all!"

With the help of the telescope, Wu Liuqi could see the formation on the opposite side clearly. The noisy and noisy scene on the opposite side, with a small number of elites mixed with a large number of rabble playing soy sauce and joining in the fun, reminded him of the Taoyuan Shrine back then.

Behind Wu Liuqi's banner, the sound of military trumpets and brass whistles echoed one after another, and the medical vehicles of the health battalion transported the seriously wounded to the team of mercenaries of the Japanese State to distribute medicine to those lightly wounded soldiers and wrap their wounds. To the delight of those Japanese mercenaries, the original bleeding wounds, after cleaning the wounds and sprinkling them with medicinal powder, and then bandaging them with fine gauze, except for some pain, there is no major problem, and they can still go into battle to kill the enemy and earn military merits for themselves! After the queue of the Japanese mercenaries, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Mixed Brigade followed the order. One team at a time, one battalion at a time, assembled and lined up. Soon, with the battalion as a unit, the large phalanx with both attack and defense was completed.

The eight-pounder guns of the artillery battalion were lined up in the phalanx, and the big franc machine was placed in front of the battalion phalanx as a battalion artillery, and the gunners were ready to use their guns. The twelve-pounder guns were deployed behind the phalanx, ready to bombard the rebels in the distance.

At the front of the artillery position, dozens of rocket launchers have been neatly arranged by the rocketeers, who have taken out oil arrows from the backs of mules and horses with their hands and feet and placed them on the launchers, aiming at the rocker arms that swing up and down from left to right, adjusting the shooting angle and height.

On the flanks and rear of the artillery team, thousands of elite mercenaries from Kyushu and Kansai were placed there, serving as guards and protective baggage provisions.

The elite of the guards battalion led by Wang Jin, as the general reserve, lined up behind Wu Liuqi's handsome banner, ready to attack at the right time and give the opponent a thunderous blow.

In an instant. Relying on the mountainous terrain, the 1st Mixed Brigade formed a battle formation of 30,000 or 40,000 troops.

Ou Liang, who hung his arm with a triangular scarf, gritted his teeth and scolded at the opposite team, all kinds of foul language came out in endlessly, scolded for a while, and saw that Wu Liuqi was there without saying a word, his face was solemn, his eyes were a little sad, and he was a little flustered, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to use his eyes to signal to Wu Han, who was standing side by side with him. "Look at the big guy!"

"Big guy! The main forces of Yusupu's rebels have come out. Why not be happy? Wu Han, who is also Wu Liuqi's brother, had the courage to step forward and ask, at such a time. There is a big military feat in front of him, why is the eldest brother unhappy, but sad?

"The last time we dealt with such a team, it was when we just returned to the command of the lord, and we dealt with Taoyuan Taisha in Wuhua County. At that time, Ah Biao was still there. ”

I see! The big guy touched the scene and remembered Wu Biao!

"Big guy! It's okay! After a while, I asked my brothers to burn some dark paper for Ah Biao. Let him not worry about running out of money below! Didn't the lord also say that Ah Biao sacrificed his life for the country, and the festival is not a loss! ”

Seeing Wu Liuqi nodded slightly. Wu Han breathed a sigh of relief, "Brigade commander, look, the team has been lined up. Can we get started?! ”

"No hurry! Pass the battalion officers of each battalion! Including the battalion officers of the Auxiliary Volunteer Corps! "The Auxiliary Volunteer Corps is the official name for those mercenaries of the Japanese State.

After a short, high-pitched trumpet. Nearly 100 battalion officers lined up neatly in front of Wu Liuqi one by one according to the organizational division, and saluted with their hands crossed.

Wu Liuqi didn't look at the officers of the headquarters, but looked at the volunteers and battalion officers whose hair was shaved to reveal their blue scalp with a pleasant face: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is not easy for you to come from afar to help the Lord and kill the enemy. We only need one-third of all the beheading military merits, and all the captured property will be yours. ”

"The general is not right. What artillery to use against this waste. Just this mess of grass and fish, it is not as good as the crowd back then. We can catch these kinds of fish empty-handed. Although there is no shortage of gunpowder, it can also be saved, so it is good, and the gunpowder money saved can buy some wine for us to celebrate. "That Kumamoto barracks officer is the leader of these volunteer battalion officers, and he is shy and trying to make a majestic appearance.

(This also has something to do with their identity, mercenaries, of course, the tone is a little bigger.)

This is also an international practice, and the Swiss mercenaries suffered this kind of loss back then. In the face of the French military formation, the employer told them to be cautious, saying that there were many Gallic roosters, artillery and muskets, as well as cavalry, which were relatively strong, and they must be more careful. As a result, the Swiss mercenaries went straight to the ground, and in the end, they beat the Gallic rooster into feathers and fell to the ground with heavy casualties...... )

"That's it! Checkmate! How about the money saved for gunpowder shells converted into a reward for military merit beheading? ”

"We promise to kill all these rebels on the opposite side and sacrifice them to the general's horse!"

"Well, if there are too many casualties, it will hurt the sky and (you can't catch labor), and it's okay, the artillery doesn't need to be prepared for a long time. However, the wind blowing on this island is too cold, although they don't admit it, the lord can treat them as the people under his rule, and it is not good to freeze. Come on, before the artillery bombardment for a while, come two rounds of rocket salvos to warm up the opposite side. And then comfort them with shells! ”

Everyone could hear Wu Liuqi's slightly joking and ridiculous battle arrangement, so they naturally applauded and took their orders to leave.

"You, stay for a while!" Wu Liuqi summoned the Kumamoto barracks officer.

"What's your name? Where do you come from? ”

"Back to the general's words, the villain's name is Shiraki Xingjiu. The retainer of the original daimyo, after the defeat and death of the head of the family, the villain wandered on the rivers and lakes, and learned the art of war and swordsmanship with all kinds of famous masters! When the Kyushu tide was quelled, the villain joined the volunteer team, but unfortunately the fortune was shallow and he was not put into the command of the young marshal. Fortunately, this time the general recruited volunteers, and the villain was fortunate to join his command and obey orders. The official who handled the affairs of recruiting volunteers to the Japanese country saw that the villain was proficient in kendo and knew the art of war, so he promoted the villain to be the leader of the Kumamoto battalion. ”

"Good! Now I'll lift you up again! See that? ”

Wu Liuqi said senran, handed the telescope in his hand to Bai Mu, and pointed to the faintly visible Yusupu Sultan's palanquin.

"Take your battalion of volunteers, and after the artillery fire has stopped, rush me directly to the sedan chair, which is where the leader of the traitors, Yu Supu, is. Capture it alive or kill it. After this is done, I will send a letter to the lord to guarantee that you will be an officer in my Nanyue army. ”

With such a chance to ascend to the sky, Bai Mu Xingjiu was naturally ecstatic, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wu Liuqi a few times, and turned around majestically.

He returned to his camp and told his subordinates about Wu Liuqi's arrangement, and immediately set off a low cheer among the Kumamoto soldiers. Needless to say, everyone packed up their weapons and checked their clothes, armor, and shoes.

Over there, Team Rocket had already lit the firing twist. Long tail flames erupted from the tail of the rockets, and they rose into the air.

First of all, I want to state that even modern rockets will inevitably have a tendency to move in Brownian, of course, compared to the rockets of the Ming Dynasty. However, no matter how much it improves, it is nothing more than a little bit of direction for a fly flying around. And the rockets in the south. Obviously, it is impossible to compare with modern rockets, so when a few fire dragons soared into the air, the hearts of the soldiers on both sides of the enemy and our enemies hung in the air.

But it's okay. Despite a slight Brownian motion, these rockets follow the aerodynamics very well, flying perfectly into enemy lines and igniting chemical fuel. At the same time, a lot of heat is emitted. It is far from the level of the missiles designed by the third brother. Aim for your eyes and end up in your ass! After the rockets hit the ground, they quickly burned in the dense queue, and all the carbohydrates turned into flames, and the result was that some of the unprocessed barbecue ingredients near the rockets were naturally cooked.

The entire array of Yusupu rebels immediately became chaotic under the blows of these two rounds of rockets. Those thieves who had no military discipline in the first place. It is even more on the verge of collapse.

Take advantage of your illness to kill you!

"The Sentinel is loaded!"

"Sentry B reloaded!"

"Sentry reloaded!"

"Ding Whistle is loaded!"

From left to right, gunners of various calibers are held high by sentry officers and shouting loudly according to the formation. Report the loading status. The gunners calmly squatted or stood in their respective positions, preparing the fire rope in their hands and the iron hooks used to take out the fired bolts, pushing the bomb rods, and cleaning the breeches of the guns.

"Big Buddha machine ready!"

Liang Achang, the battalion officer of the artillery battalion, carefully observed the firing angles of several big Buddha machines on his left and right, and it should be able to fire into the formation of rebel bandits on the opposite side!

"Put!"

The red order flag in his hand waved, and immediately dozens of big Buddha machines burst out with flames, and in an instant, white smoke rose, and one after another projectiles carried the sound of wind and huge kinetic energy and went straight to the chaotic formation on the opposite side!

The two armies were only more than 300 paces apart, which was within the best range of the Big Buddha Machine's range of killing. In order to establish authority and create confusion among the enemy, shotguns were deliberately not used, but the equivalent of ten-pound shells.

Dozens of shells rippled like rocks thrown by urchins into the pond. However, unlike a stone falling into the water, it was not a splash of water, but a scream, and stumps and flesh flying in the air.

Those thieves and rebels, not to mention compared with the Nanyue Army, are compared with Yusupu's descendant guards, the word discipline is also lacking, and they are completely a group of good hands at slaughtering civilians. Kill those who have crosses on their chests, those who believe in the Jade Emperor Taishang Laojun, and those who believe in Sakyamuni, all of them are like wolves and tigers. When robbing the fellow brothers of the Arabs, they were also brave. However, in the face of the overwhelming artillery fire, they were all as timid as rats, holding their heads and running away.

"Aim at Yu Supu's artillery position for Lao Tzu, put it!"

Liang Achang saw that on Yu Supu's artillery position, those gunners were also hurriedly preparing for launch, with a sneer on their faces, and shouted out orders.

"Head! Don't worry, let's use cannonballs to teach these dogs how to play with cannons! A cannon commander kept his hands and feet, but he teased Liang Achang in his mouth.

The artillery position of the mixed brigade once again let out a thunderous roar, and white smoke rose into the air, gradually combining with the hot air in mid-air, forming a strange scene like fog and fog, and shrouded the artillery position.

Twelve-pounder shells swept low in the air, accompanied by a terrifying sound, and with a burst of screams, a dozen shells smashed into the artillery position of Yusupu Sultan like hail.

Around the point of impact of the shells, on the artillery array, there was immediately a terrifying noise and commotion. The gunners, who were worried that the shells would hit them, turned around and left. Although the soldiers at the landing point were scattered like a tide, except for a few unlucky people lying on the open ground and screaming incessantly, there was no one around for several kilometers. But people forget that another means of killing this solid shell is the bouncing and dancing, and in this chaotic situation, the solid shell is even more deserved!

The cannonballs bounced happily through the crowd that had become denser as they dodged the shells, screaming and flesh flying everywhere they went.

In the dense crowd, a series of flesh passages were created, and the shells were stained with human flesh and blood, and on the path that bounced all the way, there were human heads, arms, and the thighs and calves of many people, leaving behind a long and mournful howl of blood and wailing.

A shell that fell from the sky, after a few bounces, just fell into the position where the ammunition was piled up behind the gun emplacement, and smashed headlong on the powder keg! The huge explosion and impact force lifted the adjacent cannon into the air along with the gun carriage, and immediately fell heavily, smashing a sea of blood in the crowd!

In the sound of gunpowder kegs exploding one after another, a large number of rebels on the periphery dropped their knives and guns, and just turned around and rushed towards the place they thought was safe, running in groups like headless flies! (To be continued......)
