Chapter 252 Fighting Dongjiang, foreign guns against vests

Please vote for me, please recommend me, please subscribe.

...

On the north bank of the Dongjiang River, guns and artillery roared, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The Qing army's counterattack seemed to have begun.

Guarjia Yuanbao, a bannerman who grew up in Guangzhou City, is now an ordinary soldier in the Guangdong Green Camp. Fu Fang only spared his life and did not reinstate him. Instead, he was demoted to an ordinary Green Camp soldier.

Now he had to pick up the shield, brandish the saber, and rush forward against the bullets of the Ming army. Otherwise, it would be impossible. Goshiha of Senggelinqin was supervising the battle from behind, not with a saber but with a brown bass.

Foreign guns forced everyone to charge! And before the charge, the supply of opium was opened. Those who were addicted to cigarettes were given enough, and those who were not addicted to cigarettes were given liquor to strengthen their courage.

However, Guan Yuanbao doesn't need opium, liquor, or supervising troops, and he will risk his life to fight. Because he is a Manchu, a bannerman, and a bannerman who was born and raised in Guangzhou! If the Monk King's army is here

The north bank of the Dongjiang River was defeated by the Han emperor Zhu family. Guangzhou will definitely be lost. Will my mother, daughter-in-law and son still have a way to survive?

The emperor of the Zhu family said in the "Ta Kung Pao" that during the Gengyin Disaster, the bannermen killed 700,000 Guangzhou people for 12 days! He had asked old people all over the city for advice on this matter, and there were indeed some.

, it was Shang Kexi who led his men to massacre the city for 12 days, and in the end the surviving Guangzhou people Xie En... It is hard to say whether they killed 700,000, but 200,000 to 300,000 Han people were always killed!

If the emperor of the Zhu family were to capture Guangzhou, killing twenty or thirty thousand bannermen would not be enough to satisfy his hatred, right? But how could there be so many bannermen to kill in the whole city of Guangzhou? I am afraid that even my little boy, who is no taller than a wheel, would not be able to survive.

We cannot let the emperor of the Zhu family win, and we have to block the one named Zhu for the sake of his wife and children...

He was panting heavily and moved forward with his head covered. His companions around him were all knocked down by volley fire from the Ming army in front, but he was unharmed.

"Ready... to fire!"

Shi Dakai waved his command knife again. Then there was a burst of neat explosions, and a row of muskets with bayonets opened fire. The dense Qing army in front suddenly became sparse, but they did not retreat. They still surged like crazy.

Up. The sound of gunfire rang out again, and then the roar of cannons. This was the Ming army's 12-pound and 9-pound cannons firing canisters! Countless tiny iron bullets spewed out from the black barrels, sweeping past like a storm.

.

Guan Yuanbao fell down, but he was not hit by the lead and iron bullets flying in the sky, but was knocked down by a green camp soldier beside him who was beaten into a bloody gourd. If it weren't for this guy, Guan Yuanbao would have turned into a bloody gourd.

It’s become a bloody gourd!

When he pushed away the lifeless body and struggled to get up, there was no living Qing soldier around. The Ming army on the opposite side had already begun to charge. They all carried foreign guns with shining bayonets and howled.

"Long live", it seemed like a tiger descending from the mountain and pounced on me!

"It's time to be loyal to the emperor, Guarjia. Yuanbao has not brought shame to our ancestors..." I thought so in my heart. But my calves couldn't help trembling, and the waist knife in my hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and I couldn't lift it!

"Throw away the knife, raise both hands, and squat down!" Several Ming soldiers roared at the same time, pointing their muskets at Guan Yuanbao.

With a clang, Guan Yuanbao's knife fell to the ground. The shield was also thrown away. He raised his arms high, but did not squat down because his legs and feet did not obey him at all.

Wow...

Guan Yuanbao started to cry, crying very sadly.

"Why are you crying? If you don't want to behead, just cut off Guan Yuanbao's pigtails." A Ming soldier put his rifle on his back, took out his dagger and cut off Guan Yuanbao's pigtails. Then someone came over and put a rope around Guan Yuanbao's neck and pulled him.

Just leave. Now the Ming army adheres to the Ji

The Shijun is not bloodthirsty. After Guangdong is defeated, there will still be countless construction projects that require coolies. Of course, more prisoners must be captured! Moreover, Guan Yuanbao is now wearing the military uniform of a green camp soldier. He is said to be a banner man.

No one believes it.

"I didn't expect that the Qing army would be so brave that they were not afraid of death!"

When Guan Yuanbao and other captured Green Camp soldiers were escorted by the Ming army to the prison camp in the rear, Zhu Jishi was holding a monocular, watching the battle and sighing with emotion.

"It's just a suicide attack. Although brave, it is useless. I have seen too many stupid enemies like this in the Middle East."

Old Pierre raised his telescope and observed another wave of offensive by the Qing army. This time the Qing army used the "wooden shield tactics". Hundreds of large wooden shields formed a "wooden wall" and slowly moved forward. However,

This "wooden wall" could withstand the Ming army's muskets, but it could not stop the cannons. Dozens of 9-pound and 12-pound cannons fired at the same time, and the iron bullets roared through the enemy group, mowing down all the soldiers behind the wooden shields.

Only debris and bodies were left on the ground.

"Your Majesty, be careful of the enemy's cavalry breaking through from my right wing!" Zuo Zongtang put down the telescope in his hand and frowned, "Seng Gelinqin is driving the Green Camp soldiers to die. The purpose should be to attract our army's attention to the front, and then dispatch the cavalry.

Attack my right wing."

"There are three battalions of soldiers on the right wing, which is enough." Zhu Jishi smiled and said, "The Manchu and Qing cavalry cannot break the hollow square formation."



"Once again, you don't need to carry bows and arrows, just sabers and spears! The whole army...move forward!"

Seeing all the cavalry under his command getting on their horses, pulling out their swords, or carrying their spears. Fu Fang also neatly mounted his horse, drew out the sword given by Emperor Daoguang, and gave the order to advance. What he was commanding now was not history.

The famous Chahar horse team,

It's the cavalry from the Jianrui Battalion of the Beijing Camp. This troop is the elite of the Beijing Camp, and its daily training is relatively strict. Of course, the training subjects of the Eight Banners Soldiers are equestrian. So although these Eight Banners Soldiers are not as good as Chahar, they come from Heilongjiang

A cavalry team, but they can still charge on horseback.

As for leading them, Fu Fang was a Wu Jinshi who was good at riding and shooting, and his immediate skills were not inferior to Seng Gelinqin. He was seen taking the lead, leading a cavalry of thousands of people, detouring from the rear of the Qing army's stronghold, and evading

The sight of the Ming army sneaked towards the right wing of the Ming army.

At this time, most of the troops on the right wing of the Ming Army's battle line were soldiers of the Ming Army's Second Brigade, so the entire right wing, including the three battalions responsible for flank security, were under the unified command of Su Yuniang, commander of the Second Brigade.

"The King wants us to pay attention to the security of the flanks, especially to guard against the assault of the Eight Banners cavalry. I think we can remove the 12 9-pound guns from the two regiment artillery companies and place them on the flanks." Huang Zhisheng, chief of staff of the 2nd Brigade, said according to

Zhu Jishi just now

The order issued made suggestions. Su Yuniang frowned and thought for a while. She felt that there was no need to mobilize both artillery batteries. She only mobilized one artillery battery and ordered the three battalions of the 102nd Regiment to set up a long hollow.

phalanx.

"Tell Zhang Jiaxiang, Luo Yawang and Feng Zicai that they must obey Colonel Mercer's order and hold on firmly without making any mistakes." Su Yuniang finished issuing the order in a low voice and concentrated on observing the battlefield ahead.

Zhang Jiaxiang, Luo Yawang and Feng Zicai all came from the Guangdong, Guangxi, Tiandihui system, and were "general talents" recommended to Zhu Jishi by Su Yuniang. They served as "auditors" at Ap Leizhou Military Academy for a few months and then came out to lead troops.

They all appointed the commander of a battalion. Such important use was partly because Su Yuniang had great reputation with Zhu Jishi, and partly because the military talents of the Ming army were indeed limited. Those

Young officers who have just graduated from the military academy can serve as staff officers, company commanders, and platoon leaders, but mid- to senior-level officers at the battalion, regiment, and brigade levels still need experienced soldiers. Therefore, battalion-level officers are mostly older.

, officers who came from the military (being a bandit is also considered a military officer) and could understand military school courses. The regiment-level officers were all foreign generals. Of course, the four brigade commanders were all Zhu Jishi's confidants.

As the saying goes, one thing brings down another. The three robbers Zhang Jiaxiang, Luo Yawang and Feng Zicai were not afraid of anything, let alone the officers and soldiers. However, Colonel Mercer, who had followed Emperor Napoleon, was obviously not an ordinary soldier. Under the orders of Colonel Mercer, they all

Executed to the letter, using the fastest speed to command his subordinates to form a regiment

A large hollow phalanx. It was just across the right wing of the Ming army, blocking the assault route of the Qing army's cavalry. Of course, since the north bank of the Dongjiang River is a large plain, Fu Fang's 1,000-horse cavalry was not unable to go around it, but it only required a few more steps.
