Chapter 61: Blood and Fire in Ganzhou (1)
Margio's "oath" was mainly in half-baked Chinese, mixed with a few Spanish words, which seemed somewhat nondescript, but due to their previous relationship, the artillery soldiers still understood the general meaning from his tone and additional actions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Now, everyone is careful and careful, for fear of a little mistake. You must know that once this foreign devil is more real, it is not a joke.
On the river, the first to cross the river was the Qing army of Li Yingzong's army. Since Li Yingzong took refuge in his new master, he has never encountered a decent opponent, and he has always attacked cities and lands without blood, how could he take the Ming army in his eyes? So he volunteered to lead his troops to cross the river first. For such a desperate minion, of course, Turai did not want to dismiss him, and even agreed. Ke Yongsheng was also happy to watch the joke in the back, and did not compete with it at all.
"Lord Turai has an order! Whoever lands first is rewarded! At this moment, Li Yingzong was standing on the boat and shouting excitedly, "Rush across the river and attack Ganzhou!" ā
"Rush across the river and break through Ganzhou!!" On the other ships, the Qing officers and soldiers of Li Yingzong's department also echoed with excitement on their faces. According to their previous experience, after crossing the river, it only takes a few or even one onslaught, and the Ming army in the city will be frightened and scattered, as long as they take Ganzhou, they will not only get the reward of the master, but also the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the city...... Haha, it's exciting to think about.
Thinking of the beautiful things after the city was broken, a Qing army general was still not happy after shouting, and decided to come up with some energetic slogans, so he opened his gong-like voice and shouted: "Rush across the river and kill all the ......"
Just when the Qing army was about to shout the word "Ming Dog", a scene in the distance suddenly made his eyes widen, and his mouth trembled, and he couldn't make a sound for a while.
"Cannon! Cannon!! After struggling for a while, the Qing army Baizong shouted again, and the voice was several times louder than the previous one, and it was a little more poignant.
What the? Kill the cannon? When the Qing soldiers behind the ship heard this, they all laughed dumbly, and said in their hearts that their superiors should not have taken the wrong medicine, right? How do you kill a cannon?
"Boom! Just as the Qing soldiers were secretly wondering whether Shangguan's mind was normal, a loud noise suddenly arose on the opposite shore, followed by a series of muffled crisp noises and the screams of people, and the ship shook violently.
"There are Ming dog's cannons on the shore!" "The boat is in the water!" "Oh my legs! - "For a moment, all kinds of shouts rang out.
At this time, the ship was already a miserable scene, only to see a large disgusting red and white thing scattered on the bow of the ship and a few severed limbs, and several Qing soldiers were wailing and rolling with limb stumps. To make matters worse, a large hole had appeared in the side of the ship, and the river was desperately pouring into the boat, and the bow of the boat began to tilt down gradually, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before it sank into the river.
"Boom! - "Boom! āāāā¦ā¦ Before the Qing army could come to their senses, there were several loud noises, and several boats around them also suffered the same fate.
Due to the fact that the ships of the Qing army were arranged in a somewhat dense manner, only one shell missed in the first round of fire of the Ganzhou town artillery team. The owner of the five medium-sized guns staggered and sank into the river. The Qing soldiers on the boat fell into the water one after another, and those who could swim hurriedly swam to the nearby boats, while the landlubbers could only struggle in vain in the water, shouting for help, and the river was suddenly bustling. After such an outing, the Qing army on the nearby ships also inevitably had chaos, they crossed the river from here, thinking that they could avoid the Ming artillery at the head of the city, but they did not expect the Ming army to push the cannon to the river to hit them. Frightened, the Qing soldiers instinctively hid behind the boat, causing the officials to scold one after another. ā¦,
"Hahahaha, well done! Lads! On the shore, Margio laughed excitedly, "Prepare for the next round of shelling, let these barbarians go to hell!" ā
At the head of Ganzhou City, Pang Yue was full of joy when he saw that the Qing army crossing the river was taken by surprise, but at the same time he had a little regret: the artillery of Ganzhou Town still did not develop and grow, and could not play a decisive role. If he had dozens or hundreds of Hongyi eighteen pounds running and placed a few rounds of salvos on the west bank, not only would all the Qing troops on the river sink into the river to feed Wang Ba, but the Manchurian Jiannu on the east bank would also have to suffer a lot of losses.
On the east bank, Tulai, who was paying attention to the battle situation, couldn't help frowning when he saw the scene on the river, and after a moment of silence, he ordered to his side: "Let Li Yingzong's troops continue to cross the river, and those who dare to retreat without permission will be killed!" Besides, let the artillery battalion prepare and bombard the few small cannons of the Ming Dog on the other side! ā
"Huh!" The herald took the order and departed.
Although the few three-pounder cannons in Ganzhou Town frightened Li Yingzong's Qing army a lot, they were not worth mentioning in the eyes of Tulai. Since entering the customs and seizing a large number of artillery pieces of the Ming army and capturing a large number of artillery casting craftsmen, the Qing army has increased the level of artillery equipment by an unknown number of times. This time to the south, Tulai's army was also equipped with more than a dozen artillery pieces, including four six-pounder guns and three nine-pounder guns, and the range and power were far superior to those of the Ming army. Seeing that the Ming army dared to use a three-pounder cannon in front of him, Turai, who had a lot of money, naturally wanted to fight back.
On the river, the Qing army of Li Yingzong's army was still marching towards the west bank at the risk of being shelled. Although none of them wanted to be the next to be shelled, they had no choice but to make the master unhappy, and the consequences would be even more serious, so they had no choice but to continue to move forward. In response to the Ming army, the archers of the Qing army also began to shoot arrows at the opposite bank in vain, even if they could not shoot the Ming army, they had to relieve their own pressure.
"Don't be afraid!" Li Yingzong, who was in the middle of the fleet, shouted around, "The Ming army doesn't have a lot of artillery, just rush across the river!" As long as they rush across the river, they will have to let us slash and kill! ā
It should be said that Li Yingzong is still quite responsible as a commander, although he hid behind the cabin, he still did not forget to boost morale, and the slogans he shouted were still so full of confidence. Hearing him shout like this, the Qing soldiers on the surrounding ships were more or less relieved.
However, as soon as Li Yingzong's words fell, the second round of artillery bombardment by the Ming army was uninvited. After a few loud bangs, four more boats were hit, and they began to tilt and sink without any suspense, and there were many more Qing soldiers struggling on the river.
At this time, the artillery of the Qing army on the east bank was also in place, and the three most powerful nine-pounder guns were all aimed at the position of the artillery team of Ganzhou Town on the west bank.
"Retreat!" Wang Juntao saw the situation on the east bank from the telescope given to him by Pang Yue, and loudly issued the order to retreat. This time, the task of the artillery team was only to accumulate actual combat experience, and now that the Qing army has more powerful artillery, of course, there is no need to fight hard.
Wang Juntao gave an order, and the artillery soldiers hurriedly pushed the artillery and turned around and retreated. This series of movements has been trained countless times under Margio's supervision, and has become as fluid as his peers.
"The barbarians have more advanced artillery than us! This is really a shame for our artillerymen! Margio roared red-faced, and then reluctantly withdrew with the artillery men.
At the head of the south gate of Zhennan, Pang Yue also sighed in his heart: during the period of Tianqi and Chongzhen, the Ming army was defeated by Jiannu many times in field battles, and only had some advantages in firearms. Unexpectedly, now this advantage is gone, and Jiannu has a more powerful and long-range artillery, which is a great irony! Fortunately, this time Ganzhou Town fought according to the city, and if it was in the field, it would have to suffer a big loss. It seems that the work of casting cannons will have to be accelerated in the future. Otherwise, it is really unreasonable to lose to Jiannu in firearms. ā¦,
Soon after the artillery team in Ganzhou town withdrew, the artillery shells of the Qing army came over. Fortunately, Wang Juntao gave the order to retreat in time, so that there was no loss of personnel and equipment.
Seeing the retreat of the artillery team in Ganzhou Town, the Qing troops who were crossing the river finally relieved their hearts and strengthened their courage, and their faces gradually returned to that kind of excitement, and even some officials took the lead in cheering.
At this time, Thurai's brow gradually relaxed. Durde next to him also had a happy face: "Lord Tulai, I think that back then, the Ming army in the field battle in the face of our Qing Eight Banners all broke and fled, only with artillery can the fox fake tiger for a while, but I didn't expect that today even the artillery is not as good as my Qing army." Hehe, it seems that the pseudo-Ming is indeed the end of the sunset, and my Qing Dynasty's domination of the world has become an unstoppable trend. ā
Turai nodded, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes: "When Ganzhou is attacked, none of the puppet Ming soldiers and civilians in the city will be spared." Let those southern barbarians who are still trying to resist in vain see what the consequences of using the mantis arm as a car and resisting the Qing Dynasty are the consequences! ā
Without the deterrence of the Ming artillery, the Qing army of Li Yingzong's army crossed the river much faster, and Ke Yongsheng's department also began to board ships one after another as the second echelon of crossing the river.
Time passed little by little, and finally, the first ship loaded with the Qing army arrived on the west bank, followed by the second, and then the third...... A large number of excited Qing soldiers jumped from the boat, and green flags fluttered over the west bank. The Qing soldiers who had been worried about the ship for a while finally reaped the joy of their first success, and their fighting spirits were high, as if they could break through Ganzhou City in one fell swoop in the next moment.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ......"Just as the Qing army was forming a team with high momentum, a series of crisp sounds like popping beans suddenly came from a hundred paces away. Before the sound fell, blood flowers suddenly bloomed in the ranks of the Qing army, which had just landed on the shore and was still slightly chaotic, and the Qing soldiers who were fantasizing about making meritorious contributions fell like harvested rice.
For a while, the screams were repeated, and the Qing army, which had just had a little appearance, fell into chaos again. The Qing soldiers, who were the first to wake up from the panic, were surprised to see that a hundred paces away, a large number of Ming soldiers appeared from their hiding places, holding up firearms in their hands and shooting in this direction.
Waiting here was the Gangfeng Battalion Firearms Team, and their actions were tantamount to a blow to the Qing army, knocking the unprepared Qing soldiers into a daze.
After a round of shooting, the Qing army became more and more chaotic. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers of the Gangfeng Battalion Firearms Team began to adjust their formation under the command of Deng Yuanpeng, the commander of Qianzong, and prepared to give the Qing army another round of more fierce shooting.
"Arrange in a five-stage strike formation!" Deng Yuanpeng looked at the panicked Qing army in front of him, and shouted with excitement on his face.
Officers at all levels passed down the command layer by layer, and in a short time, a standard five-stage formation appeared in front of the Qing army, one flintlock pistol or bird gun pointed straight ahead, and the muzzle of the black hole exuded a call from hell.
