Chapter 51: Boom, Boom
Dongjiang Plain
This is not far from the city of Guangzhou, and the terrain is also very flat, and it is also the battlefield determined by Tacha after picking and choosing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Behind him, there were a full 60,000 troops, including local green battalions, elite troops like Dubiao, and 8,000 Red Banner Horse Troops, together, known as 200,000.
As for the remaining 10,000, it was left in Guangzhou City by Ye Mingchen. It is said that it is to call on the gentry to defend Guangzhou and resist to the end.
"We have an army of 60,000, which we claim to be 200,000. On the opposite side, Zhu Wei had an army of 20,000, known as 50,000. Even if you can't fight head-on, it's still okay to stick to the camp. Looking at the trenches that had been formed around him, Tacha said confidently.
There are trenches outside, and foreign guns inside. In addition, there were many large shields, artillery, bows and crossbows. This kind of defense, even if the old Eight Banners came when they entered the customs, there was no way to do it.
Looking at the Qing army who were defending like a turtle, Zhu Jishi couldn't help frowning. Although his soldiers are much more elite, they belong to the modern army. On the other side is the backward feudal army. However, before the fight, I was still a little uneasy.
After all, before this, Zhu Datianzi was just a doctor who did surgery, and he was not a high-achieving student from a military academy.
And after coming to this world, how long has it been, and all of a sudden he has to lead an army of 20,000 to confront the enemy's 60,000 army, and he still takes the initiative to attack.
Therefore, although Lao Peel said that he could win, Han Si also said that he could win, and Lin Yang also said that he could win, but before the real victory, Zhu Datianzi was still a little weak-hearted.
"Old Peel, how are you going to fight?" Looking at the confident old Peel on the side, Zhu Jishi asked directly.
Seeing this, Old Peel smiled and said, "Don't worry, King. The army on the other side is still stuck in the Middle Ages. Whether it is logistics, organization, the level of training of officers and soldiers, and even weapons, they are all behind our times. It can be said that it is an all-round lead, so there is really no need to worry. ”
"Unless, unless a few people like Tianxuan Zhenren suddenly appear on the other side, there is no need to worry." After glancing at Lin Yang and the others, Old Peel, who was originally proud like a big rooster, immediately couldn't be happy.
Originally, in his opinion, there are no real opponents in the whole of China, they are just scum. But after being slapped in the face by Lin Yang, he didn't dare to speak so much.
"And how are you going to fight?" Zhu Jishi continued.
"Today, our army has military spirit, and this is where the advantage lies. The training of our army is very strict, and the soldiers are mostly obedient to orders, which is also an advantage. Our army's muskets and artillery are far superior to the enemy's, which is also an advantage. So, in my opinion, if you make good use of these three points, you can win the battle with your eyes closed. Old Peel said with a smile.
War, whether ancient or modern, has not changed much. If you want to win, you have to fight more and less, or fight weak with strong. Mastering these two cores, there is no reason not to win.
"The artillery of our army is a Napoleonic nine-pounder or a twelve-pounder gun, and the firing range is very long, which is much stronger than the Shenwei invincible general cannon on the opposite side. Since they're willing to defend, we're just going to hit it all the time. This kind of makeshift village can't resist for long at all. Old Peel pointed to the improvised camp of the Qing army.
Hearing this, Zhu Jishi also nodded. All were improvised, and many places were built with wood and mud. The quality is not good, if there is no artillery, if you rely on foreign guns alone, it may be really difficult.
But the problem is that Zhu Jishi has no shortage of artillery, even the most advanced artillery. Behind the people, there are people.
On the one hand, Zhu Jishi was the viscount of the British Empire and a pawn supported by Britain to split the Qing Dynasty. On the other hand, one of his lovers, Maria, was a high-ranking French man who had a good relationship with Napoleon III.
Therefore, Zhu Datianzi really has no shortage of advanced weapons. Basically, what countries such as Britain and France have, he can have. At most, it's just a little more pounds and francs.
"Okay, then let the infantry prepare first, and then bombard with artillery, they can't stand the bombardment, so they will naturally come out to fight us." Zhu Jishi ordered.
At the sound of an order, a nine-pounder cannon of good quality and a twelve-pounder cannon were pulled out. Lined up in rows, the swarthy holes were directly facing the Qing army camp opposite.
For some reason, looking at the rows and rows of neatly arranged cannons, Ta Cha suddenly had a sense of crisis. Then, he hurriedly asked, "What kind of cannon is this?" Can you really hit this far? ”
Hearing this, most of the generals around him stopped talking. They are all natives of Asia, and they have never stayed abroad, and they are not interested in the foreign knowledge recorded in Zhu Datianzi's newspaper. Therefore, it is normal not to know.
Seeing this, Tacha couldn't help but sigh. Everyone has called, and they still don't know anything about their information, which is too light for the enemy, right?
Rumble!
With a loud bang, one after another cannonballs were fired in unison, and then landed on the opposite camp.
Accompanied by a violent explosion, the unlucky ones were directly killed. The one who was even more unlucky was crippled by the bombing. Those who were lucky enough were also demoralized by the bombing, and they were trembling.
"Erosion for dozens of miles, this is erosion for dozens of miles!" Sezanne said in surprise.
He is not a person who does not know soldiers, and he has fought with Lushan Chen Ming before. I have also seen the cannon in Chen Ming's hand, although it is more advanced than the imperial court, but it is not much more advanced!
However, when it came to Zhu Jishi, why was there such a big gap all of a sudden? It doesn't make sense, they are all anti-thieves, and this Zhu Shun is inevitably too powerful.
Rumble!
With bursts of shelling, although not many people were killed (later the Qing army also learned to be clever and scattered), all the camps were completely bombed. The morale of the green camp is even lower to the extreme.
In Lin Yang's eyes, every time the bombardment was made, the luck of the Qing army decreased by one point, and Zhu Jishi's luck increased by one point.
If Tacha did not make any moves, the luck of the Qing army would definitely be reduced to the extreme. When the time comes, it is estimated that the camp will be bombed!
Looking at the surrounding situation, although Tacha didn't know how to look at qi, as a general, he knew deeply that he had to do something at this time. Otherwise, it's really over.
"Drumming, silver, the whole army attacked. How much silver is left, all of it is taken out, and the outcome depends on this time. Tatsa commanded.
"If you don't advance in this battle, you will retreat, and the safety of Guangzhou City will be in one fell swoop. Lord Sai, when the time comes, you will personally stand at the gate of the camp with the sword and card players. Regardless of the Manchurian and Han, those who retreat will be killed! Tacha's voice was very loud.
Although everyone knows that this is just a scene. If there are Manchurians retreating, they will definitely not be beheaded, they are a nation. But once the Han people retreat, hehe, it is really certain death!
Hearing this, Sai Shang'a immediately cooperated: "Okay, I will invite the Shang Fang Sword given by the emperor." If all the officials, even the general soldiers, retreat to the gate of the camp, I will use my sword to cut off their heads. ”
With that, he took out a box. Inside the box, there is a sword, which is a Shangfang sword made by the craftsmen of the imperial court.
Then, Cezanne bowed to the box, and after bowing, he carefully took out the sword with both hands. This sword is extremely powerful, and it is attached to a bit of the luck of the imperial court, and it belongs to a first-class divine soldier.
Seeing this, the generals of the Green Battalion who were present gasped in unison. This Nima is real, if he escapes for a while, maybe he will really be beheaded on the spot.
In the distance, standing in the middle of the barracks, with a sweep of his divine eyes, Lin Yang found that the luck on the opposite side suddenly surged. After observing the military atmosphere, it is easy to judge that they are going to leave the camp.
"Ming Gong, the Qing army is about to be dispatched." Lin Yang reminded.
Hearing this, Zhu Jishi didn't ask why, but nodded and directly began to convey the order.
"All the honors and thousands of households are out of the ranks, ready to mobilize the military spirit."
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of brocade guards dressed in flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives on their waists came out. Of course, they are not the real Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and their subordinates naturally have no real power, but they are just honorary Qianhu.
However, looking at these honorable households, Lin Yang was really surprised. These hundreds of people, all of them are second-order red qi. This shows that everyone has second-order strength!
If you are in this world, you are the master of the middle three grades. In the gang, they are all in the position of Elder Keqing. But where did they come from?
Seeing this, Zhu Jishi said with a smile: "Haha, many of these honorable thousands of households belong to Hongmen. They may not know anything about politics and military affairs, but they have a heart that opposes the restoration of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, I naturally cannot live up to them. ”
"As for the rest, there are some heroes. I live in Hong Kong, and at the same time act fairly, act above board, and oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, so it is a good refuge for those heroes who have failed to rebel. ”
And these honors are actually the power in the hands of those heroes who failed to rebel. Now, I'm temporarily co-opted by me. Zhu Jishi said with a smile.
Under the joint efforts of hundreds of innate masters, although the time they have been in contact with the military qi is very short, they can't stand the large number. There are hundreds of people, and one person is responsible for a hundred soldiers, which is definitely more than enough.
Soon, a little bit of light was directly extracted from the bodies of the 20,000 elite soldiers and gathered in front of Zhu Jishi.
"Okay, good, this is destiny!" Looking at the big pale red ball of light in front of him, Zhu Jishi said happily.
