Chapter 1203: Stop! What for? (Ask for subscription) (Page 1/1)
The shrub jungle is full of tropical plants, and it is very difficult to walk through the forest. The hot and humid weather fills the air with restlessness, and even the beasts of the forest don't like to travel in such daylight hours.
Wisps of white smoke rose from a grassy house not far from the jungle, and the afterglow of the fire still shone from time to time in the ruins.
In a clearing not far from here, there was the sound of firecrackers, and every time the sound of firecrackers was heard, there would be heart-rending screams.
In the clearing, where the sound of guns and screams was mixed, the commander shouted loudly from time to time: "Aim! Shoot! ”
Thousands of Annan soldiers armed with muskets were shooting at each other in the clearing, and there were more soldiers standing behind them, cheering for their comrades with their own shouts!
The firecrackers were less than fifty paces apart, and the thin clothes on both sides could not stop the sharp bullets.
As long as you are hit by a bullet, a blood hole will appear immediately, and no matter what part you hit, you will immediately lose your combat effectiveness.
There is nothing fancy about the duel between them, it is completely a collision of steel and flesh. It will not end at all unless one side falls completely.
Gradually, one of the firecrackers could not bear the casualties, and gradually some could not support it. When the first deserter in the team appears, defeat is inevitable.
Escaping like a virus infected the whole team's firecrackers, and a big rout was uncontrollable in the blink of an eye.
The gunners of the victorious side did not immediately pursue, and the soldiers who had been cheering behind them came to their senses.
They crossed the firecrackers and slashed at each other's arrays, and the opposing army's ordinary soldiers also won, and a melee immediately ensued.
But the melee was soon over, and the battle came to an end as the victorious musketeers lined up in a neat line.
Faced with a steady stream of bullets, the soldiers on one side quickly retreated. The victorious side followed behind, chased and fought for a long time, and only then collected its troops and returned to the camp.
The victorious side will celebrate the victory tonight, and the losing side will regroup and train more gunners again for the next one.
This way of fighting has become the norm in the civil war of the Annamite people, and the balance of war is no longer determined by the number of war elephants on both sides.
Firearms have become the key to determining victory and defeat, and under the dense firecracks, even war elephants have to be hated on the spot.
It only takes a day to train a musketeer to use a musket, and it only takes a month or two for the soldier to learn simple queues and follow orders.
This speed has greatly exceeded the training of ordinary soldiers, and as long as there are firearms, they can almost continuously put soldiers into the battlefield.
The only thing that restricts the firecrackers is its price, and the price of the firecrackers sold by the Changxing Army to the Annanites is too expensive.
One hundred and fifty taels of silver, the Annan people tightened their belts and recognized it, but the next loss of firearms and the consumption of customized paper shells were the majority.
Live-fire training costs money, and going to the battlefield is burning silver.
The Annan people can still hold on in a short period of time, but after more than a year, the Annan people have almost been stripped of their family funds by the Changxing army, and even the wealthy Zheng family is a little unable to bear it.
With the Changxing army maneuvering around, the Zheng and Nguyen clans were always in a state of parity. Whichever side is weak, the Changxing army will increase the output of firearms, and the two sides will always be inseparable.
At this moment, even if the Annan people understand the intentions of the Changxing Army, there is nothing they can do, and the hatred between them cannot be resolved at all, and unless one side completely falls, there is no possibility of reconciliation at all.
The territory of Annan was even beaten into white ground by both sides, and with the help of the firecracker, the two sides fought so much that you came and went.
Ordinary people are the target of the soldiers, obviously with a lot of fertile land in their hands, but there is still a famine in Annam.
It was only at this moment that Annan discovered that the area controlled by the Ming people was the safest place.
Here, both warring sides did not dare to approach, and as long as they entered the area controlled by the Ming people, they could escape the ubiquitous fire.
For the fleeing Annamite Changxing Army, they did not refuse to come, and all settled down. It doesn't matter if the land is not enough, just ask the Nguyen family directly.
The Ming people helped to settle the Annan people, so what happened to occupying some territory?
The Nguyen clan, who was defeated by the Zheng clan, could only lease the land to the Truong Hung army in exchange for arms in order to turn defeat into victory.
Under the rule of the Changxing Army, the Annamite took power into their own hands for the first time.
The Annan people, who have enjoyed the rights, are naturally unwilling to go back to the semi-slave-like life of the past, and I don't know when the remarks that Annan has been a part of China since ancient times began to spread among the Annan people.
Those Annan people who were placed by the Changxing Army have found the backbone, and they have become tired of the Annan rulers who are constantly fighting, and they think that they should be part of the Ming people from their hearts.
Human beings are social creatures, and it is human nature not to suffer from inequality. When the life of the Annam people under the control of the Changxing Army spread to the territory of Annam, it immediately aroused the yearning of ordinary Annamite people.
Although the people in power in Annan suppressed it, a seed was planted deep in the hearts of the people of Annan.
"Hu Zhou! You kid don't have any money to make, right? I'm about to burst my pocket! On the road in the evening, the two walked side by side.
Hu Zhou smiled and said, "Ding Xiaozhao, you still talk about me!" Look at the package that you can't even straighten your waist, and there will be less silver dollars in it than mine? ”
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly, the two of them were in the same village, and they fled to the Ming people's concession at the same time.
The hard-working two soon found a job on Mingren's ship, and after following Mingren to sea a few times, they finally saw what prosperity was.
The two of them were excited to see the chicken coop port on Taiyuan Island, and the legendary land of Daming was unthinkable, and the biggest wish in this life was to be able to take their families to settle on Taiyuan Island.
After going to sea several times, the two also saved some money, and this time they went back to take their families to rent and settle down.
In the concession, they no longer have to worry about their families being hurt by the rebels, as long as they are willing to endure hardships, they will be able to live a good life.
With hope in their hearts, the two of them set out on the journey home, and along the way they were cautious, lest unreasonable soldiers rob them of their hard-earned money.
Finally they were almost home, and they could walk a few miles to get there. Ringing the relatives at home, their steps unconsciously sped up a little.
Just as they were hurrying quickly, several figures suddenly appeared from the side of the road: "Stop! What for? ”
