On October 19th, in the southwest of Changqing County, Jinan Prefecture, the autumn wind blew through the wild grass between the mountains and fields swayed left and right, the white smoke on the mountain also drifted away with the autumn wind into the distance, under the white smoke was dozens of artillery pieces lined up, countless soldiers were busy green, the muzzles of these guns from time to time released a flame, and the shells also flew into the sky as the white smoke rose.

Countless black dots crossed the sky, and then flew over the infantry phalanx in front of them, falling into one phalanx after another of the Qing army, most of the shells will explode above the head of the Qing army or after landing, and some solid ball shells will land directly, and then continue to bounce on the dry ground, impacting the Qing army in front of them.

Although the Qing army that was shelled was disrupted from time to time, and even some of the phalanxes were disrupted because of heavy losses, this was nothing among the tens of thousands of Qing troops, and some of the Qing army's formations were blocked by shelling, but more Qing army formations still stepped forward with various weapons.

The Qing soldiers who were advancing at a normal walking speed were expressionless, some showed a hint of excitement, but more of them still showed nervous or frightened looks.

Closer, closer, after the phalanx of the front platoon approached the position of the Chinese army for about four or five hundred meters, they just ran quickly.

And it didn't take long for the soldiers of the Chinese Army behind the chest wall in front of them to pull the trigger at the order of the officers!

The crisp sound of gunfire seemed to drown out the rumbling cannon, and as the gunfire continued to ring, the Qing soldiers who rushed to the front row fell one after another!

But they didn't stop!

The Qing soldiers, dressed in light blue uniforms and with strips of cloth wrapped around their heads, continued to charge forward with their guns in their hands, the latest achievement of the Manchu military reform in the past two or three years: the Qing Army.

The Qing Army, which imitated the Chinese Army, the Jianghuai New Army and other domestic new armies, was trained. There is no doubt that they already have the most basic elements of the modern army of this era, and after training, they are not shelled or platoon fired like those green battalions and regimental drills, but they quickly collapse.

They continued to charge against the shells and bullets of the Chinese army!

Those on horseback. He wore new military uniforms, but most of them wore warm hats unique to the Qing army. The officers wielding the Qing army's standard waist swords shouted one by one, letting the troops under their respective commands continue to maintain their formation, and then continue to move forward!

The shells kept falling and exploding, the guns kept firing, and the white smoke that rose from them was blown away by the autumn wind, and if you excluded the constant sound of gunfire in your ears, I am afraid that some people would think that it was the smoke rising from the quiet village.

The flames and smoke were mixed with the soldiers who kept falling, and the soldiers who were hit would have a blood spot on them without warning, and then the whole person was driven backwards by the impact of the bullet. The uniform was soon stained red by the blood that flowed out, and the blood stained the uniform and continued to soak the ground beneath the soldier, and then the entire land was dyed red.

The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke began to be mixed with the fishy smell of blood!

At this moment, the battlefield outside the city of Changqing is like a wonderful picture, a picture that no painter can describe!

At the northeastern end of this battlefield, Du Xing'a and many Qing army generals stood on a small hill and watched the battlefield.

These Qing generals were dressed in different ways, some wore the traditional robes of the Qing army, some wore civilian official robes, and most of the new army generals of Du Xing'a and the Qing army under his command wore light blue new military uniforms. The new uniforms were also double-breasted, straight-legged, and even the shoes were long leather boots, and most of them wore a tweed jacket.

If you only look at the style of this new military uniform and not look at the color. I'm afraid that this is the military uniform of the Chinese army.

In fact, the new military uniforms in contemporary China are almost the same, because they are all imitating the military uniforms of the Chinese army, but some details and military rank logos and colors are different. The color of the early Chinese Army, that is, the army uniforms of the Yuyao County Yongying era to 1857, was mainly dark blue. The main color of the navy's uniforms is also navy blue, and a small number of officers wear white uniforms. The color of the sidelines on the pants varies depending on the class.

The style of the military uniform of the Auxiliary Defense Force is based on the army infantry, and the military uniform is gray, and there is no color distinction between the troops.

After 1857, the High Command issued the first dress code, which formalized the above rules in a document, with minor changes to military uniforms.

The style of regular and formal dresses was clearly defined, and at the same time, a distinction began to be made between autumn, winter and spring/summer dress.

At the same time, since last year, middle and senior officers of the army have been distributed with autumn and winter woolen coats for daily use, but this woolen coat is made of pure black.

In the design of the military uniforms of the Chinese army, in fact, in addition to the principle of combat convenience, in fact, the main thing is to follow another principle, that is: good-looking!

A military uniform that looks more handsome after a soldier wears it is a good military uniform!

Most of the new armies established in China after the Chinese Army also adopt the military uniform style of the Chinese Army, the single-breasted soldiers' uniforms, straight-leg trousers, and the officers' double-breasted tops are all copied from each other, but the details and colors are naturally different, among which the new armies of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, including Li Hongzhang's Jianghuai New Army in the past, the current Qing Army, the predecessor of the Qing Army, Gyeonggi, Zhili and the provincial training army are all used in light blue.

The Zhenhu army under Lin Chengting is blue-gray.

The Hunan army under the command of Zeng Guofan also belonged to the Qing army, but the people had their own system, the color of the military uniform was a light blue shirt, and the pants were gray pants used directly.

Shi Dakai of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also trained a small number of new troops, but they continued to use their Taiping army uniforms.

Now Duxing'a, these officers of the Qing Army are wearing this kind of Manchurian fresh military uniforms that have been used since the era of the Jianghuai New Army, and the light blue military uniforms look quite spiritual, the only thing that is a little eye-catching is that they are wearing a unique Manchu warm hat, and the warm hat often drags a long braid, which looks quite out of tune with the new military uniforms on their bodies.

Duxing'a They looked at the battle in front of them, and when they watched one phalanx after another being defeated under the fire of the Chinese army, several people next to them couldn't help frowning.

But Du Xing'a's expression did not change much. The attack would suffer a certain amount of losses, which was expected in advance.

If there is not much loss in this rush, Du Xing'a may have to worry even more. Because he would worry about whether there was some ambush or something when he turned back.

Now it is normal for the front-line troops to suffer certain losses!

"My lord, are you letting Vice General Huang's troops retreat now!" A New Army officer next to him took two steps closer. Then he whispered in front of Du Xing'a.

Du Xing'a shook his head lightly: "Let them continue to rush!" ”

The officer on the side showed hesitation, and immediately lowered his voice and said: "Vice General Huang's command is all green battalions and regimental training, and more than 10,000 people have been killed and wounded, and if you rush again, I'm afraid it will collapse!" ”

Vice General Huang is not the general of the new army, and the troops under his command are not the new army of the Qing Army, but the old green battalion and regimental training, although it is said that a certain amount of old-style muskets and some training of the new army have been issued, but the Chinese army is so strong that it is impossible to train these old troops into new-style troops, and even if there are a few more demons in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is impossible to train the original green battalion and regimental training into a new army.

In this way, more than 10,000 green battalions were trained to launch an attack from the right flank. This is not close to the front of the enemy's formation, it is already a visual death and wounded of at least 1,000 people, this level of casualty rate is nothing for the modern new army, but for the green battalion to train these old troops is already to the limit, and if they are forced to rush forward, it is estimated that they will collapse first.

However, Du Xing'a snorted coldly: "What use do they have except to rush up and consume the bullets of the rebel army?" Is it a waste of military rations to retreat? Pass the order down and let them go on the offensive! ”

As he spoke, he also added: "Let the third town press the formation behind them, and those who dare to retreat without permission will be killed in front of the formation!" ”

Hearing Du Xing'a's bloody words, several officials wearing civilian robes next to him unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat. What is this Du Xing'a doing, is he trying to force his allies to die?

Those civil officials looked at Du Xing'a with a murderous aura, and wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to say it. They were afraid, afraid that Du Xing Ah would say something like 'disturb the morale of the army, drag it out and cut it down'.

These civil servants guessed well. Du Xing'a really plans to use the green battalions and regimental training under Vice General Huang as cannon fodder!

In the past year or so, he has fought with the Chinese army many times, and has seen the Chinese army drive the auxiliary defense force under his command to serve as cannon fodder for many times. And the results are often good, and today he also plans to learn from the Chinese army. Push out these green battalions and regimental exercises as cannon fodder.

His requirements are not high, he only requires that these green battalions and regimental exercises can consume a few more bullets and shells of the Chinese army, and it is best to be able to act as a human shield to consume the bullets of the Chinese army for the main force of his own side in the rear, that is, the new army of the Qing Army.

If everything goes well, when the green battalion and regimental training of 10,000 people are consumed, the Qing army will almost rush to the front of the Chinese army's position, and then their main force will be able to directly engage the Chinese army in close combat intact.

But he still overestimated these green battalions and regimental training, when the new troops such as the Third Town of the Qing Army forcibly drove these green battalions and regimental training to the forefront, when these green battalions and regimental training were subjected to heavy artillery bombardment and rifle fire by the Chinese army, they fell in pieces.

When they rushed to two or three hundred meters, every round of firing of the Chinese army on the opposite side, the green battalion and regimental training of the fallen Qing army were more than 1,000 people.

Under such huge casualties, these green battalions and regimental training, armed with arquebuses and even cold weapons such as knives and guns, could not continue to move forward even if they were urged by the overseers behind them.

At this time, the Qing Army, which Du Xing'a had painstakingly compiled, finally reflected their value.

I saw that the officers of the New Army who were riding on their horses did not pay any attention to the green battalion in front of them and even the Huang Adjutant General and others shouting to get out of the way, let me go and so on, but raised their waist knives one by one, and then calmly waved down their waist knives, and at the same time shouted in their mouths: "Fire!" ”

In the next moment, those green battalions and regimental training who had just turned around and fled fell again!

Seeing the defeated enemy troops in front of them being knocked down by the new army platoon guns of the Qing army, even Song Xiangtang and the others were dumbfounded when they saw it!

This Duxing Ake is really ruthless! ――
