After the war in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty rose up a wave of training a new army, Yang Guozhu and Yang Dashuai, also organized and trained the new army in the town, and recruited young and strong people everywhere in the town.

Liu Yongzhong had just turned 18 years old at that time, just as he was young and strong, and he was honest and honest, so he successfully became a member of the new army in line with the standard of recruiting honest people from the countryside. Due to his good eyesight, he eventually became a bird soldier.

Yang Dashuai loves soldiers like sons, and as soon as Liu Yongzhong joined the army, he was rewarded with several taels of silver from the An family, and then he was given nearly ten acres of land near Longmenwei. I heard that a few years later, I had all the 50 acres of land under my name, and the rest of the new army was the same, which made the soldiers of the new army boil, and everyone was grateful.

Liu Yongzhong doesn't recognize a basket of Chinese characters, but he still knows the grace of dripping water, and he still knows the truth of reciprocating when the spring springs. His real name is Liu Mancang, and in order to express his reverence and gratitude to Yang Dashuai, he wrapped a generous gift and asked the consolation officer in the army to change his name to Liu Yongzhong, which means that he will always be loyal to Yang Dashuai.

According to Liu Yongzhong's knowledge, many soldiers of the New Army have also changed their names, and there are countless names in the army, such as Zhongguo and Zhongzhu.

Two years after joining the New Army, Liu Yongzhong suppressed bandits and fought against Mongolian Tatars, because Liu Yongzhong trained hard. His bird shot was accurate. He has made a lot of military achievements, and has been promoted from a small soldier to a captain. Not long ago, he was also given a shot of the East Road Bird Gun and a number of rounds of Weijin medicine.

This is one of the five thousand excellent bird guns that Yang Dashuai asked for from Wang Dashuai and the Zhongyong Bo of the East Road, which is the world-famous East Road bird guns, as well as the powerful medicine, which can break the heavy armor in a hundred steps.

After being assigned to the bird, Liu Yongzhong couldn't put it down, but the power of the medicine was limited. Therefore, in the training of the new military camp, Shangguan only asked each person to shoot three shots to feel it. The rest of the powerful medicine still has to be concentrated on the battlefield for use.

Liu Yongzhong went with the army to Liaodong. He has either never been on the battlefield, or he has killed the Tartars, but it is the first time that the Manchurian Tartars have played the main card. Although he is eager for revenge and longs for this day to come, he is still a little nervous when he arrives on the battlefield.

He followed the military formation, surrounded by endless trumpets, drums and flags, with the terrain, wave after wave.

The Manchurian Tartars were indeed different from the Mongol Tartars, and he had fought the Tartars with the army before. The bows and arrows of the Mongols, under the guns and chariots of their own birds, had no power to fight back, but dared to move their horses and flee far away.

And these Manchurian Tatars turned out to have artillery, and the artillery was very powerful.

As he marched, one shell after another whistled past him.

He saw with his own eyes a solid chariot covered with a thick quilt and leather. They were all bombarded into powder by artillery. Some of the brothers of the birds and soldiers behind the cart, as well as the people who pushed the cart, were unlucky, and their bodies were covered with sharp wooden thorns, and they lay on the ground wailing in pain.

The impression of invincible chariots could not stop the artillery of the Tartars. I heard that they also have quite a few birds, which are very different from the legendary Tartar soldiers who can only ride and shoot.

Look at the miserable appearance of the brothers in the army. The Tartar artillery roared incessantly, and the soldiers in the armor were a little uneasy. Liu Yongzhong comforted them loudly, saying that as long as they survived, the Tartar artillery would soon stop firing. Because the Tatar Hongyi cannon has to dissipate heat, generally three shells, you have to stop to dissipate heat for one to two quarters of an hour, this gap is safe.

Liu Yongzhong heard this from Officer Yang in the team, and Officer Yang had traveled extensively and had met several brothers of the Jingbian Army, and he heard this from the brothers of the Jingbian Army. The Jingbian Army is recognized by the Ming Dynasty as the most experienced army in the use of artillery and firearms, and of course there will be no mistake in what they say. …,

Of course, Liu Yongzhong is no stranger to the Jingbian Army, and many military households in the Chang'an Institute, where he was originally located, went to the East Road to work. I heard that there are many opportunities to make a fortune over there, and even if you can't get rich, you will always have to eat a mouthful of food. Every Chinese New Year, these people go home with a large bag, and the people who don't go out are envious, and they are also yearning for listening to them boast about what they have seen and heard on the East Road.

They also use a kind of paper called food stamps or something, and I heard that it can be used instead of silver. Several shops in Chang'an have started using food stamps, but Liu Yongzhong still feels more comfortable using silver.

On the way to Liaodong, Liu Yongzhong also got to know several Jingbian Army brothers, such as Zhao Rongsheng, the first commander of the B General D Team in the rear of the right battalion of the Jingbian Army, Chen Sheng and Ju Yiwu, the sharpshooters in the front of the rear battalion, and some others.

I feel that they are kind people, but they can speak well, all of them are like showmen, and they speak in a set way. What Huayi's arguments, Shenzhou Taiping and the like, even the scribes, comfort officers and others in their own army, they don't have them to say. When facing them, it is a bit like Meng Sheng facing Mr., in addition to being at a loss, he is obediently taught.

Liu Yongzhong doesn't know as much as the Jingbian Army brothers, but he thinks that being a man should be grateful and reciprocated, in short, there will be nothing wrong with always being loyal to Yang Dashuai.

The artillery roared, some of the Tartar soldiers fired shells, and some of the artillery of their own Shenji battalion fired at the Tartar positions. With the artillery, the passionate marching drums in the army continued, and they became louder and louder, and with the sound of drums, the continuous military formations continued to advance.

The huge sound of drums also made the hearts of the sergeants in the various military formations drop a lot, and Liu Yongzhong strode forward with the music.

He hoped that he could get close to the trenches of the Tartars, and then he would definitely use the bird gun in his hand to blow the heads of several Tartars and avenge their fathers and mothers!

……

In the artillery array of the Qing army in the Loess Ridge, the rumbling sound is endless, the artillery array is covered with pungent smoke, and the gunners of the Qing army are constantly brushing and loading, and then shelling!

Their artillery was well-trained, and in particular, there were many Portuguese gunners, who were even faster and more accurate than the gunners of the Shenji Battalion.

Particularly......

Their four-wheel grinding disc gun mount, which could be turned left and right, when finding a worthy target, several stout gunners. A thick wooden rod is inserted into the wooden hole of the gun body. Then they exerted. Rotate the barrel and adjust the angle to bombard the target.

Large shells kept shooting towards the undulating Ming army formations and fell into their formations. In particular, when the Ming army was more than two miles away from the main ridge and not far from the first Qing defense line in the Loess Ridge, the artillery they arranged in the middle ridge, those six-pounder guns, eight-pounder guns, and ten-pounder guns also fired.

For the Qing army here, the Ming army was only a little more than a mile away from them, and it was within the effective range of its own artillery.

And the Ming army's Shenji battalion artillery array. Although it was less than two miles away from the Qing army in the first line of defense in the Loess Ridge, it was more than three miles away from the Qing army in the middle ridge and four miles away from the Qing army's artillery array in the main ridge.

The Qing artillery of the Middle Ridge and the Main Ridge took turns shelling. When one side cools down, one side fires cannons, one side fires cannons, and the other side cools down, so that their shelling is almost continuous.

Later, some Hongyi three-pounder guns of the first line of defense of the Qing army also opened fire, but they were fiercely shelled by Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, who was extremely angry, and all his anger was vented on their heads.

Solid shells, poison smoke shells. Gray bullets, earth-shattering thunder and other shells, just greeted the Qing army in the first line of defense, and beat them crying and crying for their mother, embarrassed.

However, under the artillery bombardment of the Qing army in the middle ridge and the main ridge in turn, Yang Guozhu's troops and Shanxi's general Li Fuming's troops also suffered huge casualties. A large number of mountain attacking equipment accompanying the position of the Chinese army in the second town, as well as four car battalions, were also under the Qing artillery. A mess of .........,

Yang Guozhu stood on the Yuan Rong chariot, this chariot, dragged by four healthy horses, was built extremely strong, and could prevent the shelling of twenty catties of shells. This was Wang Dou's car. When Yang Guozhu attacked Loess Ridge, Wang Dou forced Yang Guozhu to get into his car. Yang Guozhu couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.

Xin was fortunate to get on this Yuan Rong car, and a cannonball just now happened to hit this chariot, but it bounced away from a distance, and the chariot was unharmed.

Yang Guozhu was glad that if it weren't for this chariot, he might have died under the Loess Ridge today, and he would have died before he could get out of the army. Although Yang Guozhu was not afraid of death, and often died as a general, and the horse leather shroud encouraged himself, he did not kill an enemy, so he died silently, which he did not want to see.

However, Yang Guozhu was safe, but the soldiers under his command were not so lucky, and the shells of the Qing people had been continuously fired into his position in the Chinese army.

Their huge cannonballs whizzed over, often accompanied by groups, and each wave of cannonballs was hundreds of cannons of all sizes. They fell into the military formation, rolling and smashing, and soldiers continued to break their hands and feet, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.

In particular, some artillery shelled the cavalry in the barracks, and among the whistling cannons, there were cavalry soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles, and they could not stop the power of the cannons. If you are hit by a shell, you will be killed by a broken bone. Even the battle-hardened war horses, swept by cannonballs, are constantly neighing and wailing, jumping everywhere.

Yang Guozhu's face was ugly, and he was resentful in his heart, although his own army formation was sparsely arranged, he couldn't withstand such a broken shelling.

In addition, the soldiers of the friendly car battalion of the Chinese Military Department, and the people who pushed and pulled the carts, pointed heads, nest cars, mantle cars, trenches and bridges and other mountain-attacking equipment, faced the Qing artillery, and were even more panicked and confused......

Yang Guozhu's mind was turning, that is, approaching the first trench of the slave thief, and most of his army's formations were also under the attack of several layers of artillery on the mountain, attacking the Loess Ridge, which was more difficult than he imagined.

While I was thinking, I heard another sharp swan sound on the mountain, the roar of cannons, and another wave of heavy cannonballs whistling.

There was a loud boom, and large, heavy, solid cannonballs were fired on the ground, and they rampaged.

Rumble!

The chariot of a chariot battalion was blown up, and the gunner of the cart fell to the ground with a scream, and the chariot fell to the ground scattered, and even the Franc cannon on the cart fell far away.

Rumble!

One of the nest carts also fell apart, and the people who pushed the cart also fell down, and the rest of the survivors ran away screaming and running away......

Rumble!

A large iron ball of more than ten catties roared over, and it was a few people pushing a longboard cart in front of him. The longboard was filled with heavy sacks of burlap and baskets of earth, which were supposed to carry dirt for the purpose of filling the trenches later.

Watching the cannonballs come over, several people looked like ashes, it's over!

They wanted to run, and then they all went limp, but they couldn't move at all.

In an instant, the cannonball was already fired into the dirt bag on the car, and with a loud bang, the body shook violently.

However, to the people's delight, although the dirt and rags were flying, the shell was embedded in the bag and did not move.

A few of them, safe and sound!

A few people couldn't help but cry with joy! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
