When the guns were loud, Li Xiao was standing in the grass hut holding a telescope to watch the artillery fire in the distance. It was dark today, and he couldn't see anything but the orange flames of the explosion.

"Handsome ......!" Sun Xing hurriedly ran in, and when he saw Li Xiao's calm appearance, he hurriedly sorted out his military appearance. Li Xiao attaches great importance to this kind of thing!

"The Yang family finally couldn't help it!" Li Xiao glanced back.

"Yes!" Sun Xing nodded.

"Send a flare to let Li Dingguo land in Guangzhou City. All the people were attracted to Baiyun Mountain, and it was believed that there were no defenders in the city of Guangzhou, so as to ensure that the people of Guangzhou City suffered the least amount of war. "Guangzhou is a famous historical city, Guangxiao Temple, Six Banyan Temple, Huaisheng Temple, some of these temples are left in the Three Kingdoms era, and some are ordered to be mentioned. In particular, the Nanhai Temple is the only one preserved among the four major sea temples in the east, west, north and south in ancient times.

The power of modern weapons is so great that it is difficult to choose between the casualties of the besieging forces and the weapons of protection. So Li Xiao agreed to live in Baiyun Mountain, which is twenty-eight miles away from Guangzhou City, although there are many people living here, but it is much better than the densely populated Guangzhou City. Li Xiao doesn't want to see the scene of people's corpses all over the field tomorrow morning!

"The Yang family is led by the barbarian wolf soldiers, and the number is about fifty or sixty thousand. With the recruited villagers, I am afraid there are 100,000 people. Are you ...... here! ”

"100,000 people, I'm afraid it's more than that. The Yang family has been running Liangguang for so many years, how can they only have this little family background. Give him some time and let him gather them all. Save us from digging a ravine to clean up! If they were really allowed to run into the 100,000 mountains of Guangxi, they would be busy. "When he thought of suppressing bandits in the mountains, Li Xiao had a headache.

Those guys live in the mountains all year round and are well adapted to mountain life. And as a local, I am also familiar with the geographical environment. It's really very difficult to fight against them.

When he was in Shandong before, Li Xiao simply threw this kind of thing to Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming. Now these two brothers have become Daming's professional bandits. Wherever there are bandits, the job is theirs.

"Uh......!" Sun Xing was a little speechless and stopped.

"Say!" Li Xiao glanced back with some dissatisfaction, what else could not be said at this time.

"There was news from the front that the rebels had a large number of rifles in their hands. It's all ...... They are all standard big eight grains, which are only available in Jinzhou and Jinan Arsenal. Arms trafficking ......! Sun Xing hesitated, after all, the boss in charge of the Ming ordnance department was Zheng Sen.

"Do you think that without the slip I approved, someone would dare to sell guns casually? It's more than 10,000 sticks when it is sold! Li Xiao smiled and sat down on the chair.

"The slip you approved...... More than 10,000 ......! Sun Xing swallowed with difficulty.

"Not only guns, but also ammunition. If he doesn't give him some weapons, what confidence does he have to resist the court and assassinate me? Li Xiao glanced at the fireworks rising in the distance with a playful smile on his face.

Sun Xing couldn't figure out why he knew that people were going to rebel, and he still had to give people weapons.

"A few years ago, our Liao army actually only controlled the north of the Yangtze River. It is even said that even the north of the Ming Dynasty has not achieved complete control. The only ones who can really listen to me are Liaodong, Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other provinces.

Liaodong is where I started, and Shandong and Hebei are where I rose. The rest of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Huainan were all beaten into ruins. No way, although I crossed the Yangtze River. I just wanted to consolidate it, but Mongolia in the northwest made trouble again. Under such difficult circumstances, I still left the first division with the best combat effectiveness in Jiangnan to ensure that the land in Jiangnan was regraded.

It's been five years! Jiangnan's land reclassification was finally successful, and those Jiangnan chaebols no longer had any strength to resist. The foundation of the Donglin Party is not there, and it is only a matter of time before the tree falls and scatters.

Now after five years of construction in the country, the Mongols in the northwest have also been defeated. We've just breathed a sigh of relief! Now, it's time to truly unify the country. It's time to uproot the last tumor on Da Ming's body! The light of the fireworks flashed on Li Xiao's face, and now the fireworks manufacturing technique is getting better and better, and it is getting closer and closer to the flare. Originally, this thing was made up by Li Xiao as a substitute for flares.

"Isn't it a little ...... that you are in danger like this!"

"The Yang family has been operating in Liangguang for many years, and he was the governor of Liangguang when he was in the year of Chongzhen. These two Guang are nominally from the imperial court, but they are actually from his Yang family. secretly colluded with Wu Sangui, and he couldn't do it if he didn't take risks!

Now the main forces of the Yang family are near Guangzhou, and I am used as bait to attract them. and then surrounded and annihilated by Li Dingguo and Nie Dahu! ”

Sun Xing's scalp tingled when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Xiao's plan to be so thorough, but he, the adjutant beside him, didn't know anything. First, he deliberately sold arms to the Yang family to strengthen their courage. then angered Yang He and forced him to rebel with the Yang family.

When did he start planning this? And how to contact the implementation, the secrecy is made airtight. People like me are kept in the dark!

Li Dingguo's subordinates were marine divisions that had not been formed for a few years, and relying on Li Xiu's forces, they got a lot of good equipment. But it is really a lack of actual combat experience, and there has basically been no war in these years. When fighting the British in Australia, he also lost some manpower, and his evaluation in the army was not high.

But Nie Dahu's first division and one brigade are different, this unit is expanded from one division and one regiment. The real old base of the Liao army! They enjoyed the best treatment of the Liao army and used the best weapons of the Liao army. And the combat experience is very good, and it really fights from south to north. The achievements of the Rakshasas and the Mongols are obvious to all.

It can be said that the first division has never lost a battle. Maintain a record of total victories against any enemy at home and abroad. The 1st Brigade is even more of a descendant of the lineage, equipped with fierce firepower, with high combat quality and combat capability comparable to that of a field division.

If this army is transferred, not to mention that there are 100,000 people, even 300,000 people are not enough for a spoonful of stew. This time, the Yang family is considered to have no way to live.

The front artillery rumbled, this was the sound of a hundred and twenty-millimeter howitzer. The sound of the Maxim machine gun was inaudible, it sounded like the wind was blowing. The sound of the rifle was shattered under the suppression of these sounds, and occasionally a few could be heard, but it was too little.

Yang Zhongwu's heart was dripping blood, and the wolf soil soldiers he had carefully trained would be torn to pieces by cannonballs as long as they rushed out.

The flares in the sky kept rising and falling, falling and rising. The sky and the earth were illuminated in snow-white, and the troops had nowhere to hide under such flares. There were rumbling airships flying in the sky, and whenever they saw someone gathering, tracer bullets would be fired at that place. Immediately after that, a hundred and twenty mm howitzer shells fell.

A 120-millimeter shell can smash a 10-meter crater with a single shot. Half a football field is the size of a football field. The shrapnel formed a wall, and anyone who was hit by this wall was reduced to smithereens.

What's even more frightening is the impact break, a shell falls, even if you quickly lie on the ground and dodge shrapnel, you can't avoid the shock wave of the explosion. That thing was driven against the ground, shaking people's hearts, livers, spleens, lungs and kidneys alive. Many of the soldiers did not see any scars on their bodies, but they were lying on the ground bleeding and motionless.

The troops, under the blow of howitzers, could not effectively assemble at all. You can only charge the marines in a scattered manner, and if the straggler line is opened, you will not be able to give full play to the numerical advantage. When it advanced more than a thousand meters to the front line, the extremely accurate mortar shells fell down.

No matter how good you are, the mortar shell still falls from the top of your head and hits your soul. Almost a single shell killed a person, and the mortar shelling forced these wolf soldiers to gather on the middle road.

I have to say that the wolf soldiers are a little ruthless. The battle came to this point, and it didn't break up. The few who ran back were swallowed up in the smoke of the shells. Most of the rest of the people are still trying to attack.

Li Zhongwu didn't know that the mortar shells were deliberately pressing people down the road. But he couldn't help it, he couldn't get people to withdraw now, and he couldn't send reinforcements to reinforce him.

When the highway and both sides of the highway were full of people, Li Zhongwu heard a terrifying voice.

Bullets from the Maxim machine gun rained down from the sky, and no matter how good they were, it didn't help. When he was in the Army Military Academy, he learned that when the muzzle of the Maxim machine gun was fired upwards, the bullet would kill the enemy in a parabolic manner. Even if you lie on the ground, it won't help!

This kind of attack method is almost incomprehensible, so that the wolf soil soldiers have no way to attack at all. Shoot at the other party with a large eight grains, but the bullet can't reach the side of the other person at all. Makqin fired 12.7 mm bullets, and the range was definitely not comparable to the large eight 7.62 mm bullets.

The enemy infantry was only holding guns, and not a single person was shooting. Because no matter how the wolf soldiers charged, they would fall eight hundred meters away. The rifles in their hands were basically useless, and occasionally two ferocious ones rushed within 800 meters, and before they could catch their breath, they were attacked by grenadiers.

It's an infantry-carrying gadget, and the explosion is close to that of a grenade. The longest firing distance is a full 1,000 meters, and when the Liao soldiers use it, they usually attack at a distance of between 300 meters and 800 meters.

Don't look at this thing, it's not very powerful, but it's amazingly accurate. The projectiles that fall from the sky use an instantaneous fuse, and sometimes they happen to hit the body of the wolf, which can blow the wolf's body in two and fly into the air.

Howitzers killed a batch, mortars killed another, and the overwhelming fire of the Maxim machine gun killed another. The rest easily rushed to within 800 meters, but they were killed by the grenadier as if they were named.

This offensive is not a battle, but a one-sided slaughter.

With advanced equipment, the Marine Corps continues to kill and injure elite wolf soldiers. Few people can rush to the distance where the infantry shoots, and as long as they do, the bullets will swarm like homing hornets. There's always a shot that beckons at you, and then the scorching bullet slices through your muscles with great kinetic energy, and the remnant of your flesh and bones bursts out of your body from the other direction.

Yang Zhongwu thought that the battle would be brutal and many people would die. But he didn't expect that it would be so cruel and that so many people would die. Moreover, all of them were their own casualties. On the other side, there were almost no casualties.

It's still night, if it's daytime. As soon as the 380-millimeter guns on the battleship opened fire, the result was unimaginable. The power of a 120-millimeter shell, and the power of a 380-millimeter shell, are not as simple as tripling the power of a shell.

A 380-millimeter shell exploded, and even the 20-meter-thick city wall of Guangzhou could not be carried. Not to mention human flesh and blood!

As a last resort, Yang Zhongwu still withdrew the remaining wolf soldiers. Hiding outside the range of howitzers as a supervising team, it is now the Xiangyong who rushed over from the periphery of Guangzhou.

These people had old-fashioned firearms in their hands and were spurred by a few slogans and a generous bounty. They braved the artillery fire to advance desperately, laughing in their hearts that those who were killed were unlucky. How could he be killed by a mere shell.

There are constantly unlucky people who die on the road of charging, and the courage stirred by the rich rewards in their hearts is also frightened by the smoke and the scene of flesh and blood. They ran back several times as fast as they charged!

The bullets swept down people one by one, as if they were cutting wheat.

It was easy to escape back to his position, but he found those wolf soldiers with guns. They didn't want to shoot at the enemy, but at the villagers who had fled back under enemy fire.

The platoon guns "crackled" non-stop, and it was only then that they realized the power of the big eight-grain rifle. I can't help but give myself some self-confidence, bullets can still kill people after all.

People are like firewood that fills a stove pit, and in less than a moment they are burned to the ground. 5,000 men charged as a unit, and they died in less than half an hour. Then another 5,000 people were tricked into promising a rich reward that they had never dared to think of before. Then they rushed into battle with all their blood, either killed by the fire of the marines, or fled back to be killed by the wolf soldiers in military law.

After a night of hard fighting, Yang Zhongwu had already filled in more than 30,000 people. At this time, his eyes were already red, and the anger exuded from his body made people dare not look directly.

But there are still villagers who are constantly being summoned, these people have primitive fire guns in their hands, and some even have large swords and spears. When the sky was light, Yang Zhongwu suddenly threw in 10,000 people to charge.

There is no way, after dawn, the corpses will appear everywhere in front of everyone. At that time, you fooled people to charge, and you were blind?
