Chapter 221: What's the Matter?

Huaxia Tian** waited quietly, and the foreign gun team also moved forward quietly.

"Forward." Bai Dengwen proudly brandished his slender Western saber, flashed some light in the sun, and then shouted majestically,

The foreign gun team dominated by Western devils is indeed composed of outlaws, and it is indeed composed of some professional soldiers, many of whom are professional soldiers, pirates, hooligans, murderers, etc., as well as adventurers, anyway, a kind-hearted, a normal person who is well-off, a young man who loves his family, will not be so intrusive in the world, guys who take killing people for fun, and guys who take adventure and gambling their lives as their hobbies, don't expect them to do anything good.

This was the first foreign mercenary army of the Qing Empire, the Overseas Corps,

Ruthless, perverted, maybe their characteristics, but, on the battlefield, his performance is quite respectful, neat, professional, majestic, obedient to command,

The shooting action of the foreign gun team basically has a program, because it is a group operation, and the queue shoots in a horizontal row, so it is very easy to master their shooting time.

Finally, the foreign gun team entered a distance of one hundred and fifty meters between the two armies, and immediately, the team came to a standstill, and the front row began to squat,

At the moment of crouching, the cannon of the Luoyang army was mighty,

There is also a process of igniting the fire rope, triggering the firing of gunpowder, launching the explosive package, flying more than a hundred meters, and smashing it on the enemy's head, moreover, in order to ensure the accuracy of the shot, the angle must be adjusted anytime and anywhere,

The current flying thunder cannon, in practice, has made some modifications, for example, the wall of the cylinder is cast out of a ravine, which can be bracketed, and with the bracket, it can be further adjusted immediately.

There are not many such improved models of flying thunder guns, but under the guidance of Luo Yang, everyone has found a new way, for example, when preparing, carry two iron drills, dig a semi-inclined shallow pit, so that the flying thunder cannon is put in, and then with bricks and wood on the side, the thickness is different, you can insert it at any time, pave into different things, you can change the firing direction and range of the cannon,

The Huaxia army was actually more ruthless, and wanted to bombard again when the enemy hit about 100 meters, so when they saw that the enemy was about to fight, they immediately adjusted the launch angle.

In front of the artillerymen, there were either huge wooden shields, or trenches were dug so that the artillery crews were well protected,

In the process of this power, the first round of bullets of the Qing mercenaries has already hit,

There were casualties in the Huaxia army, but not many because, everyone was lying on the ground, and there was proper protection from foxholes.

artillery units, no casualties,

The foreign gunners crossed cover, forming rows of firepower, and strafed the Huaxia army.

When the second and third rows of bullets came over, dozens of Chinese officers and soldiers had already been killed or wounded.

However, at this time, the foreign guns of the Huaxia Army also began to shoot, although an infantry regiment only had a thousand people, but there were also four or five hundred foreign guns, and with a bang, it was also full of gunsmoke, and the power was huge, so that the foreign gun team also suffered forty or fifty casualties.

Subsequently, the casualties caused by the fire of foreign guns became more and more large.

At this time, the explosives bag that flew to the head of the foreign gun team attacked,

Dozens of explosives bags blew up on the heads of hundreds of foreign gunners, and in just this round, the enemy was killed and wounded.

Regardless of three-seven-twenty-one, the artillery fired again, and then stopped, and the infantry charged forward,

"Nima, Nima, you also open your eyes and look at your uncle."

"Get up, get up, Nima told you to go home and eat."

"I'm in, you pretend to be dead, pretend, pretend, I'll step on it."

The infantry of the Huaxia Army found that the foreign gun team had blown up to the point that there were not a few good people.

"That's a dish." Luo Yang stepped forward on the horse, observing the position, only to see the dead and wounded, and the intact dozen foreign spear team members were captured, and he also rolled his eyes obsessively, not knowing where the soul returned,

"What about your chief?"

"Ah, we, I."

The captured foreign spearmen couldn't say a word clearly,

Bai Dengwen was found, but unfortunately, only the first half was left, isn't that equivalent to a halving, it's too cruel,

More than 300 foreign guns that are still intact have become trophies of the Huaxia Army, even those damaged foreign guns, and they have not been let go, the parts are still useful, even the smooth butt of the gun, which can also be used by recruits during training.

The battle in the suburbs, a small test, the Huaxia army sacrificed two people, wounded nineteen people, and annihilated the number of foreign mercenaries is ominous, because many corpses cannot be found, about five hundred to seven hundred, and it is really elite and fierce,

After the victory, the Huaxia army continued to advance, next to some fortifications and interception fences, a few dozen Qing troops stopped the battle, in order to reduce casualties, show mercy, the Huaxia army fired a cannon at the enemy, and killed a small half of the enemy, so the enemy fled, and the casualties were naturally less,

Approaching the walls of Shanghai,

At that time, Shanghai, there were county seats, suburbs, wharves, is a large area of several regional splicing, this port that has been open for more than 20 years, has been because of the development of import and export trade, rapid prosperity, of course, this prosperity is deformed, because, China's customs rights, the right to tariffs have been deprived, at that time, the implementation of the value of the tax rate of five percent, is the lowest in the world, that is, five percent, the same period, many countries tax rates are very high, such as the United States, constantly changing, When it is high, it is an average of 39 percent, so China's switch is absolutely unequal, and Sino-foreign trade exchanges are definitely the economic aggression of the great powers against China.

Xue someone, the Taoist of Shanghai Province, has already known the news, the foreign gun team sent by him, is his proposition, hoping that the most elite troops will be annihilated in one fell swoop, this foreign gun team of hundreds of people, once had a glorious record of defeating tens of thousands of Taiping troops and killing more than 5,000 people, a few months ago, the battle of Shanghai, Li Xiucheng, the loyal king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was attacked by the foreign gun team, defeated and fled,

Basically, with certainty, Xue Daotai was able to take his own soldiers and come out to watch leisurely, his fantasy was that a large number of Taiping officers and soldiers fell in a pool of blood, the officers and soldiers of the foreign gun team shook the heads of various countries, fiercely poked and stabbed their corpses with bayonets, venting their anger and pride, and flocks of crows flew around, pecking at the broken corpses.

More than 800 infantry, carrying more than 200 foreign guns, and more than 50 war horses, Xue Daotai even sat in a large sedan chair in order to show his civilization and elegance.

The officialdom of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was dominated by scholars.

In front, a strange crowd suddenly appeared, it was the Huai army, and there were also military flags and costumes of the non-Huai army, and at a glance, it was clear that this was the enemy,

The guys from the north are dressed almost the same as the Taiping Army, and they all have their hair, so in the eyes of the Qing Army in Shanghai, they are bandits.

They are not used to it, or they don't know the difference between Taiping Tian** and Huaxia Tian**,

However, Xue Daotai did understand a truth, with the obstruction of the foreign gun team, how could these guys break into the root of the city wall of Shanghai in an outrageous way.

The Qing army was ready for battle, and more than 800 Qing troops were nervous, and no one understood what those foreign gunmen who showed off their might on weekdays were doing.

Xue Daotai thought that those foreign gunmen had taken the wrong path and had not intercepted the enemy.

Suddenly, he moved stiffly, and found in the telescope mirror that the enemy on the opposite side was shaking and entertaining the military flag of a foreign gun team.

"What's going on?"
