Chapter 340: Gods and Demons Help Each Other
"What kind of firearm is this thief using?" Li Qidou, the deputy general of the Humen battalion, looked at the battlefield in front of him and was also shocked.
Even a seasoned veteran has never experienced such a scene.
Obviously, they didn't kill under the city wall, and they didn't even see the shadow of the thief, and their own army fell in pieces, and on the huge battlefield, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the wails were overwhelming.
"Who are these thieves?"
"I'm afraid that even the Francophiles in Macau don't have such sharp firearms."
Not to mention the Qing officers and soldiers, the Qing generals present were also frightened.
"My lord, these thieves must have used evil magic."
"The thieves must have used some evil method to cause the catastrophe, causing our army to be defeated." Suddenly, a thousand general managers hurriedly spoke.
"Yes, yes, it must be evil arts, these crazy thieves must have used some evil arts that hurt the heavens and reason, and finally attracted the catastrophe and attacked and killed my Qing soldiers." Several Qing army generals present looked at the city wall in the distance and scolded one after another.
After all, they really didn't know what the thieves in the city were doing?
But the army suffered a crushing defeat under the city, with heavy casualties, that is true, and it must find a reason for defeat.
The thief used his mad magic to cause the catastrophe, and this is a good reason.
After all, the Qing generals present witnessed the earth-shattering explosion and the flying sand and rocks.
Whether General Baiyindari believed it or not, they believed it anyway.
At that time, even if the court blames it, you can have an excuse, right?
After all, in these days, everyone believes in gods and ghosts, and maybe some gods and ghosts are really helping these thieves.
"General, do you want to attack the city?" A Qian general manager stepped forward and hurriedly asked.
"How is Mr. Huang?" asked Li Qidou impatiently.
His Humen battalion is not under the jurisdiction of General Huang, so naturally he doesn't have a good tone.
It just so happened that the defeat of General Huang's troops under the city this time might be an opportunity for the generals of the battalions.
"General Huang was injured in the left eye by the sand and stones, and had to withdraw, and now I urge you to immediately lead the officers and soldiers of each battalion to attack the city." That Qian Zongdao.
"Bastard, your cheap green battalion soldiers in Leizhou have run away, so let's attack the city!" When a general heard this, he burst into flames and scolded bitterly.
"Our battalions can still gather thousands of troops, but you have all seen it, the thief army in this city does not know what evil magic is used, isn't it self-defeating for us to attack rashly?" Li Qidou sighed and looked at the generals of the various battalions present.
"Today's truce first, let's see the progress in the direction of the fort, if we can capture the fort, it is the best, so that our naval division warships can calmly enter and exit the port of Qiongshan to unload the siege red-coated cannons." Li Qidou said.
"Yes, yes, if my red-clothed cannon is transported to the city, I'm afraid that I won't be able to capture the city wall of Qiongshan in this area." Several generals chimed in.
At this time, more than 800 Qing officers and soldiers who killed the Ming army fort were fighting bloody battles with the Ming army guarding the fort at this moment.
Compared with those Qing army colleagues who died inexplicably under the city, these Qing troops who attacked the Ming army fort were undoubtedly much luckier, because there was no evil magic used by the Ming army in the city tower.
But they were also unlucky, after all, they ran into the most elite of the Luzon Ming army, Huben Town.
The Ming army held back the Qing army on the hillside where the fort was located.
Guarding the fort was the Ming army's Huben front town, where there were only 300 troops at this time.
In front of the Qing army were a full 50 turtledove foot guns and 30 hundred son guns.
It can be said that the 300 soldiers of the Ming army guarding the fort all revolve around these 30 Baizi Gongmen Turtledove Foot Guns.
"Bang bang bang!"
Countless dense lead bullets and lead slag flew out of the pitch-black muzzle and smashed into the Qing officers and soldiers who were still climbing the slope not far away.
One by one, the Qing officers and soldiers screamed and fell, dripping with blood.
Who would have thought that the fire used by the Ming officers and soldiers guarding the battery
There are so many instruments.
A full ten Baizi guns opened fire in unison, and thousands of lead bullets and lead slag shot out of the muzzles of the guns and shot at the Qing army not far away.
In an instant, with bursts of screams, another twenty or thirty Qing soldiers fell down the hillside.
The entire hillside was covered with blood and bones.
Zhu Linyu stood on the hillside, looking at the Qing army rushing down the hillside with a cold face.
"General, our army has repelled 11 charges from the Qing army." A co-chair reports.
"General, the enemy has come from the mountain road on the left flank."
"General, do our troops retreat to the fort?"
A shout came, and Zhu Lin's face became more and more ugly.
From here, you can faintly see the Qing army under the city wall in the distance, defeated and fled.
"It's really worthy of Wang An of the Marine Battalion, and he really blocked thousands of Qing troops." Zhu Linyue couldn't help but smile as he looked at the Qing army retreating like a tide under Qiongshan City in the distance.
Then, his face gradually turned cold.
"General waste, what's the use of the imperial court raising our waste? Can't you even hold a fort?" Zhu Linyu scolded at the Ming soldiers present.
"Look at the Qing army under the city retreated, and the soldiers defending the city defeated thousands of Qing troops under the city***, what about us!" Zhu Linyue said angrily.
"We are Tiger Town, the pro-army of the Governor, and we represent the face of the Governor, and we are here to kill the enemy." Zhu Linyue pulled out his long knife and roared angrily.
"Kill the enemy to serve the country, kill the enemy to serve the country......" The soldiers of the Ming army in Huben Town who were present were all moved and shouted one after another.
For a continuous morning, the Qing army attacked more than 20 times in a row.
At noon, he once slaughtered to the top of the hill and started a fierce white-knuckle battle with the tiger soldiers.
For a while, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and the screams and roars came and went.
In the end, the Qing army suffered more than 400 casualties, but still did not capture the fort.
In this battle, the Ming army also suffered 100 casualties, and some firearms were blown up due to excessive firing.
But they still held on in the end, and in the face of the Qing army, which was several times their size, they still prevailed.
After a day of fighting, whether it was under the city of Qiongshan or under the forts, the Qing army suffered a heavy defeat, with thousands of casualties among officers and soldiers.
The casualties of the Ming officers and soldiers were only 100, and the casualties of the Ming army in Qiongshan City were only in single digits.
"Bastard, how did you fight this battle?"
On the building of a fortune ship, Baiyin Dali couldn't help but be furious after hearing the battle report in Qiongzhou today.
The more than 2,000 Qing troops who landed on the island suffered thousands of casualties in one day, nearly half of which were lost.
This kind of casualty made the faces of the Qing generals present change their faces and be a little incredulous.
"General, thieves have evil arts, and our army has been persecuted by thieves and evil arts when they are killed in the city." Li Qidou of Humen Town gritted his teeth and said.
"What?" Bai Yin Dali laughed angrily, and looked at the deputy general of the Humen battalion in front of him with an annoyed expression.
"Yes, General, this thief did kill a large number of soldiers in my city with the Heavenly Tribulation caused by evil magic." Behind him, several thousand presidents spoke one after another.
"How can there be evil magic in the world? It's clear that you are not effective in battle, and you have been attacked by the thief army." Baiyin Dali couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and scolded, and even wanted to pull out a long knife, wanting to split the deputy general of the Humen battalion in front of him.
Fortunately, several lieutenants on the side hurriedly stepped forward to pull Bai Yin Dali.
The Qing army's crushing defeat under Qiongshan City made Baiyin Darina angry and annoyed.
If you lose, you lose is lost, and you actually blame the gods and ghosts for losing.
If there are really gods and ghosts, why don't you help the Qing Dynasty and help the thieves?
