Chapter 188: The Crusaders

"God's people!"

In the unfinished Shengjing St. Paul's Cathedral, under the dome built with low-quality steel and cement smuggled from Zhejiang at high prices, in the flickering candlelight, Duo Luo, dressed in a purple robe, waved his arms and shouted excitedly, in front of him, headed by Yinzhen, all the Qing generals and soldiers fell to their knees, and began to spread outward from the hall, as if boundless spread through the streets of Shengjing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Well, he's giving a speech.

"Do not hesitate, do not hesitate, for the glory of my Lord, go! Dye your crosses red as your coat of arms, and you are the new crusaders!

Satan is ahead of you.

His evil is defiling the land, darkness is enveloping the ancient East, you are the last warriors, you are the last bastions, fight! Take up your swords and spears and win the eternal glory of the kingdom of heaven, your brothers are coming from the kingdom of light, you are not alone, the righteous camp is never short of warriors, the light of the Lord makes you invincible, the holy water gives you strength, your sword will smash the heads of demons, and cut the boundless darkness.

Fight, Knights of Christ!

Let's fight! Righteous crusaders! ”

After Duo Luo roared, he sprinkled the holy water on Yinzhen's head, and then started with him, sprinkled it on the heads of the main officials and generals of the Qing army in all the halls.

At this time, Yang Feng's true identity had already spread throughout Shengjing City, and those Qing troops who had been troubled by this problem and were frightened by his changing combat power were finally given a reasonable explanation. It turns out that this is the case, let's just say that a demon suddenly appeared, stirring up the good and prosperous times of the lord, saints, ministers and all the people to celebrate together, and turning the people of Qihan who are like brothers into enemies, it turns out that it is a devil who escaped from hell! It turned out that it was a demon who had nowhere to hide in the West that was beaten by God and his old man, and secretly ran to us to do evil!

Well, although Yang Feng has always been called a demon before, it is just a very abstract title, after all, the demon does not have a specific reference, and the meaning is too general.

And before they converted to God, these bannermen were not very sensitive to this issue.

But now it's different.

The reason why Catholicism is so widespread in terms of spreading, in addition to the promotion of the colonizers, is to a large extent because they are simple and clear on the issue of good and evil, believing in God is right, not believing in God is evil, God is light on one side, Satan is dark on the other, it's as simple as that, there are no polytheistic things that make the common people confused. Monotheism has this benefit, easy to fool, God, Mu beard can spread so much that is not unreasonable, in fact, Buddhism is the same, such as the Buddha is supreme, although there are Bodhisattvas and the like, but the system of people is clear, the boss is the one, and the others are just the younger brothers.

Polytheism will not work.

And now that the bannermen who have converted to God have quickly got rid of the past, the war of the Ming and Qing dynasties is no longer a struggle for the world, no longer hatred, no longer all kinds of messy things, just a simple sentence......

Good and evil are not mutually exclusive.

"Kill the devil!"

"For God!"

……

After Xu Risheng's equally affectionate translation, looking at Duo Luo who was sprinkling holy water, all the Qing officers and soldiers shouted excitedly, at this moment the voice of our Qing Dynasty completely disappeared, they are no longer narrow nationalists, their realm has risen to the height of faith, and now they are no longer for the sake of defending the Aixin Jueluo family, but for light and justice, for God, in order to win the immortal glory of heaven!

And at this very moment.

"Quick!"

On the empty hillside, a roar suddenly sounded.

Dense shells whizzed over the heads of countless Ming soldiers, and then the main fort of the Qing army in front was drowned in the flames of the explosion.

Chen Hong, the seventh sentry commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Ming Army, waved to the back, two soldiers wearing cuirasses, helmets, and even crotch guards carried light rocket launchers, and rushed to a depression in front of them at the fastest speed, just as they were about to pounce into the depression, the top of a bunker of the Qing army in front of them suddenly erupted with blazing flames, and the dense lead bullets instantly hit the soil in front of them, and even hit them.

But then the two soldiers who threw themselves into the depression raised their hands to signal that they were all right.

"Fire!"

Chen Hong immediately shouted.

A group of soldiers lying in hiding beside him pulled the trigger almost simultaneously, and the bullets sent mud flying outside the bunker.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Chen Hong kept waving behind him.

In the back, a soldier wearing only a helmet carried a special steel water gun filled with gasoline, and also rushed forward at the fastest speed in a zigzag, and at the same time, the Ming infantry behind him was in a group, lying on the ground and taking turns firing continuously to suppress the Qing firepower in the opposite dark fort.

The flintlock musketeers of the Qing army in the bunker fired desperately from small holes to block the fire.

These Qing troops are all new troops trained in Xi'an, not only abandoned arquebuses, but even some short-barreled rifled guns and oversized guns, and they have a clear division of labor internally, there are gunners who specialize in shooting, and loaders who are specifically responsible for loading, which can achieve maximum firepower continuity, and they are protected by a one-meter-thick stone wall plus a one-meter-thick earthen wall, and a trench behind is connected to the main fort, and the core of the pillbox is the top one mounted on the gun carriage that can fire at a 180-degree fan. Mainly uses scattered bullets for a wide area attack.

However, this thing is more time-consuming to load.

Just when the Qing army was loading the artillery, the Ming commando team that was charging at the risk of bullets had quickly advanced to a distance of less than 30 zhang, only one person was fired in the middle, and the remaining 19 people fell to the ground as fast as possible before the Qing army launched the light cannon, untied the steel water gun on their backs and crawled forward. And they are facing the Qing army, many people are no strangers to these steel cylinders, the battle of Shanhaiguan They have not seen the murderous tactics of the Ming army spraying gasoline and then igniting the fire, and when they saw these Ming troops approaching with water guns, the vast majority of the Qing army understood what they wanted to do.

The light cannon and all the muskets were aimed at the commandos at once.

But at this time, a flame suddenly swept over the head of the Ming army, and then a light rocket launched less than 20 zhang away, accurately hit the Qing army pillbox, instantly turned into an explosion of flames, although this power is not enough to destroy the pillbox, but the violent explosion still made the Qing army in the pillbox unable to fire at the Ming army commando for a short time.

The latter wants this short time.

All the commandos rushed forward, less than five zhang away from the pillbox, one by one raised the water gun in their hands that looked like a piston cylinder, and then pulled the trigger like a gun, and the piston that was pre-opened with mechanical force was pushed forward at a very fast speed under the pull of the two springs, and the full three liters of gasoline in the barrel instantly turned into oil arrows and shot at the top of the Qing army's pillbox for artillery perforations, and at least ten oil arrows hit the target.

The Qing gunners who didn't react at all just opened fire, and at the same time, the blazing flames erupted from the muzzles, and the flames also rose suddenly in the bunker, and the dozens of Qing soldiers stationed inside were instantly engulfed by the flames, screaming and trying to escape, but how could the closed bunker run? The only door allowed only one person to enter and exit, and it was locked to prevent the defenders from escaping? Pity all the Qing soldiers struggling in the sea of fire like this, watching the flames roll towards the powder keg, and there are even people with flames all over their bodies, desperately crawling out from the firing port.

Outside, the Ming commandos ran backwards desperately.

Suddenly, there was a bang.

Behind them, the powder keg in the Qing army's bunker was ignited at once, and a terrifying flame instantly turned the entire bunker into pieces.

"Okay, just fight like this!"

Looking at the Qing army bunker that was blown to pieces, Chen Hong shouted excitedly.

On both sides of his outpost, not far away, the other two outposts are also solving the Qing army bunkers they need to face in the same way, and on the periphery of these two outposts, more Ming troops are also attacking their respective targets with this set of tactics.

This set of tactics is not complicated.

First, a group of heavily armored rocket gunners charged to attract the Qing army's light artillery and muskets to fire, and the plate armor of the Ming army still had a good protective effect against the lead bullets of smoothbore guns.

Then, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Qing army to reload the ammunition, the rifle rounds were used to maintain the continuous fire and continuously suppress the Qing army's muskets, and at the same time, the commandos who carried what should be said to be gasoline spray guns charged, and when entering the attack distance, the group of rocket gunners opened fire to provide cover for the commandos with the explosion of the rockets, while the latter fired gasoline at the pillbox as fast as possible.

As long as half of the twenty commandos succeed, it is also 30 liters of gasoline, as long as half of them can be hit by the hole, it is also a full 15 liters of gasoline poured into the pillbox, and then the Qing army fires is to ignite it for itself, and the Qing army does not fire There are white phosphorus rockets waiting in the rear of the Ming army! And once ignited, the inevitable result of the explosion of the powder kegs, these powder kegs are usually next to the gun emplacement, not to mention burning with gasoline, even if you accidentally detonate a spark.

During this period, the brigade's 18 15-pound heavy guns and the 4 battalions' artillery units totaled 16 7-and-a-half-pound light guns bombarded the Qing army's main fort all the time.

Suppress the artillery fire of the main fort with maximum firepower.

Obviously, this set of tactics is very effective, after all, the weapons in the hands of the Qing army at this time are not modern rifles and machine guns, the limitation of the rate of fire makes the actual effect of the pillboxes greatly reduced, although the Ming army is not a real flamethrower in the hands, but it is enough, shells and light rockets can not blow up these pillboxes, if it is equipped with antimony Enti may be possible, but it is impossible to load gunpowder, unless the continuous bombardment continues, but the flames of gasoline can easily solve this problem.

One outpost was an attack unit, and the Ming troops of the two brigades gradually cleared the pillboxes of the Qing army, and then approached the main fort in the middle. (To be continued.) )
