Chapter 70: The First Battle between the Dragon God Sect and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (Part II)

Two "thousand presidents" dressed in officer uniforms looked at the Taiping army in tatters and holding various strange weapons on the opposite side. I couldn't help but sigh.

One of them, Liu Neng, stretched out his hand and patted the dozens of cannons lined up in front of his phalanx, and said to his colleague Zhao Si: "Old Zhao, look at the group of poor people opposite, where is there a little bit of an army?" If I really want to fight, I'm a little bit of a starter. Dozens of cannons are bombarded, and maybe we won't need to do it. ”

Zhao Si smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's right, our firearms are sharp." In the face of such a rabble, there may not be a chance to fight in close combat. ”

Liu Neng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's see later." Although it is said that they are deceived by the cult called the God Worship Cult, they cannot bathe and feel the glory of the dragon god. But if you can use firearms to scare them off, it would be a good ending for them to disperse. But of course, everything has to be under the command of the Shangguan. We can't spoil Ryujin-sama's plan out of sympathy! ”

In the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom camp.

Before the brutal war came, it seemed a little noisy and distracted. They are all believers in the worship of God, and they have indeed received the benefits promised by Hong Xiuquan before this. After the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it immediately almost completely wiped out the wealthy households and landlords in the three provinces. The land was distributed to these poor people - of course, the right to use, and the ownership naturally belonged to the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan alone.

And now, they are in this battle with religious fanaticism, led by higher-ranking followers. They are convinced that in addition to the kings of the world, there will also be God the Father and the brother Jesus in heaven who will bless them. When it comes to battle, as long as you sincerely chant the names of the Heavenly King, Heavenly Father, and Heavenly Brother, you will not only be invulnerable, but also have infinite power!

However, there are also some believers who worship God and find that something is not quite right: "This time, the Qing demon on the other side seems to be a little different." ”

The others scoffed, "What's wrong?" Isn't it because you're scared and don't dare to fight the Qing Demon? Then hurry up and go home, don't insult the prestige of the king. In the end, we will not be able to establish the kingdom of heaven on earth. ”

The surrounding worshipping churches burst into laughter.

Most of them were poor, uneducated people who did not know what firearms and cannons were. Or they also fought against the Qing army when they occupied Guangxi, and the opponent's artillery was basically just an ornament......

Boom, boom.

A sturdy man with a **** upper body beat the war drum of the attack, signaling that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was about to prepare to attack. This is still a very primitive combat method in the era of cold weapons, and the Guangdong army on the other side, which has begun to gradually modernize under the leadership of Long Shenzong, is naturally a novice.

In the camp of the Taiping army, there were many large water tanks with high mouths, all filled with clean water, and I don't know what they were used for.

As the war drums were beaten, there was a high-ranking member of the God Worship Sect - Feng Yunshui, who was also the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army who fought against the troops in the Yunfu and Maoming areas of the Dragon God Sect this time, and was called the "Little North King", stepped out.

He is indeed the younger brother of Feng Yunshan, the king of the north, and because of his brother's relationship, he is also quite familiar with the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan. It can even be said that he is favored by the king. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established Guiyang as the capital, he stayed in Guangxi and was responsible for leading 10,000 troops to garrison at the junction of Guangxi and Guangdong.

Feng Yunshui was holding a large clay pot in his hand, swaying around, as if it contained some liquid.

When I got to one of the large water tanks, I poured a little of the contents of the clay pot into it. Bright red, somewhat viscous, but with a strange sheen on the surface. If you had to describe it, it was a bit like red mercury!

When this strange red liquid entered the tank, it immediately dyed the water in the tank a faint red. Then he hugged the clay pot and added this strange liquid to the other large tanks one by one. When he was done, he snapped the pot and smashed it on the ground, then climbed onto a high wooden platform. Raise your arms and shout: "Brothers! Just now I have added the Holy Blood of the Heavenly King to these water tanks, and it is the blood with divine power! It can be used to select people who have the qualifications to be favored by the Father. Drink the water from the water tank and go fight the demons! If you are the chosen ones, you will be resurrected even after death!! Go ahead! My brethren! Fight, kill the demons! ”

It turned out that the red liquid similar to the texture of mercury contained in the clay pot was actually Hong Xiuquan's blood!

And listening to the meaning of this so-called "Little North King", Hong Xiuquan's blood seems to have some kind of indescribable demonic power! Can bring some people back to life?!

It's a bit unbelievable!

And Feng Yunshui's encouragement immediately aroused the excitement and support of all believers in the worship of God. They were even more excited and crazy when they heard that it was actually the "Holy Blood" of the Heavenly King that had been added to the water tank just now. All of them rushed to the water tank, and after a few sips, they waved the big sword and spear in their hands, and let out a whimpering cry like a wild man, and rushed towards the "Qing Demon" on the opposite side.

It is said that the army of the Dragon God Sect saw the Taiping army rushing over. They all sneered in their hearts.

Standing on a high place, he waved his hand suddenly: "Open a salvo!" Let these poor people who have been blinded by evil and religion know that it will be difficult to retreat. ”

"Yes!"

After the subordinates received the order, the dozens of black cannons aimed at the front line were immediately stuffed into the shells by the artillerymen, and then ignited the fuses in the back......

Zizizizi.

The sound of dozens of cannons burning the fuses at the same time has a strange beauty. It also seems so clear on the battlefield where the shouts of killing are gradually rising.

Boom, boom, boom!!

Dozens of cannons fired salvos at the same time, and in the white smoke, scorching shells whistled forward. Like a meteorite meteor from the sky, it smashed into the Taiping camp that was desperately rushing over......

The shells fell into the crowd, blasting craters in the ground and sending blood and stumps flying everywhere.

It seems that the protection of God the Father and the Heavenly Brother Jesus is not enough for these devout believers to be invulnerable and bombarded.

With such a round of cannon salvo, the Taiping soldiers who rushed to the front were also a little stunned and forced.

How can it be?! How could the Qing Demon who came to fight us this time use this thing called "cannon" to fight so far? How could the power be so great! Wasn't that the case before? (To be continued.) )
