Chapter 331: Miserable Consumables
"Good death! I can still act like a mighty person!" Yin Laosan secretly cursed the dead Green Camp soldier in his heart.
However, a Green Camp soldier died, and the fate of these Goryeo Rods did not change anything. After all, there were more Green Camp soldiers to supervise these North Korean cannon fodders. As long as they were still breathing a sigh of relief, they would be driven by the Green Camp soldiers to the trenches of the Ming army until they died.
After the Ming army's twenty-four-pound mortars opened fire, six twelve-pound howitzers arranged in the concave fort on both sides began to fire. Only a roar of artillery was heard. The howitzers in the concave fort spit out flames, six shrapnel bulges pulled out the ballistic curve, and flew over the Qing army's shield formation from the two wings. The shrapnel bulges flew a hundred steps away and burst in mid-air. Countless iron bead fragments were like the sickle of the god of death, sweeping over the formation of the Qing army's Korean Green Camp.
Countless tiny projectiles avoided the shield on the front of the shield from both wings like raindrops, swept past the North Korean Green Camp soldiers, and the blood mist brought out was no longer clusters but clusters, as if it was gushing, countless North Korean Green Camp soldiers fell down.
Yin Laosan suddenly felt his right leg numb. He felt that his right leg was no longer under control, so he reached out and found that his right leg had disappeared and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably. At this time, a heart-wrenching pain came from the broken leg of his right leg, and blood kept flowing out, which soon dyed the large area of ground under him red.
It was an iron bead as big as a pigeon egg that hit Yin Laosan's right leg, and directly tore his entire leg off his body. Yin Laosan, who had lost his right leg, fell to the ground.
"Dad, Dad!" Yin Ergou cried and pounced on him, hugging his father. In fact, he was seriously injured and one of his arms disappeared.
Beside the father and son, a North Korean green camp soldier fell in a pool of blood. A hole the size of a bowl in his chest was still bleeding "puffed" outside, and his body, which had lost his life, was constantly twitching.
In the pool of blood, a large amount of blood rushes out from the bodies of countless Korean Green Camp soldiers. The land that has absorbed enough blood has lost its ability to absorb blood, allowing the blood to gather into red streams.
Some of the undead Koreans were finally scared. They threw away their shields and turned around and fled back, crying and shouting while running. The Green Camp soldiers who were supervising the battle behind were ruthless, and waved their swords one by one, chopping all the North Koreans who were trying to escape back.
In fact, at this time, the Green Camp soldiers were as scared as the Korean cannon fodders. Whether it was the Green Camp soldiers or the Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners soldiers, they were actually the same. Under the fierce artillery attacks of the Ming army, the Eight Banners soldiers and the Green Camp soldiers were all cramped in their calves and their whole bodies were shaking like sieves.
However, the Eight Banners Army and the Green Camp Army were the main forces in the formation, and they could not turn around and escape. Yuele's Goshhas knew that if they ran away at this time, the North Koreans would definitely have a spoil, so one Goshha pulled out his knife and shouted: "Stop on! Speed up and rush on!"
The Koreans continued to push the shield chariot forward. When they approached the trench, the undead Korean auxiliary soldiers brought sandbags from the shield chariot and began to fill the trench. The attack a few days ago had already filled a section of the trench. However, after the Qing army was repelled, the Ming auxiliary soldiers ran out again and dug up the trench that the Qing army had used a large number of Korean green camp bodies to fill.
Now that the Qing army has advanced, they can only refilm the trench.
Just as the North Korean Green Camp auxiliary soldiers began to fill the trenches, the Ming army bird guns, turtledove guns, Francs, and swarms of rockets and bows in the Triangle Fort and the Concave Fort were fired. The old tiger squat cannons were not idle, and the guns were spitting out flames, and the gravels were raining down, sweeping the Korean cannon fodders that were filling the trenches.
I don’t know how much consumables were lost, but finally a section of the trench was filled, allowing the North Korean cannon fodders to push their shields through the trench and go straight to the bottom of the trench.
However, after passing the trench, the shield cart could not effectively protect the safety of the North Korean bird gunners and archers. The Ming army located in the Triangle Fort on both sides could attack the unprotected sides of the North Korean long-range soldiers, while the Ming army in the concave fort on the front could use mortars to attack the Goryeo sticks behind the shield cart with a curved shot.
The Korean bird gunner and archers hid behind the shield cart and shot at the concave fort and the Triangle fort on both sides. The Ming army at the top of the city also fought back with bird guns and bows. At this time, the six-pound cannons on both sides had been loaded with shotguns and fired at the North Korean bird gunner and archers.
The shotgun fired by the six-pound cannon is far more powerful than the tiger squat cannon. Each six-pound cannon can eject more projectiles than the tiger squat cannon at one time. The six six-pound cannons fired on both wings form two fan-shaped killing surfaces that are fifty steps long and one hundred and fifty steps wide, forming cross firepower. The Korean soldiers under cross firepower wailed and fell in pieces.
Yue Le put down his monocular lens and finally gave the order to "repay the gold and withdraw the troops".
Hearing the golden sound, the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers at the end first retreated, followed by the Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers and the Eight Banners Han Army. Then the Green Camp soldiers turned around and retreated one after another. Finally, the cannon fodders from the Korean Green Camp. Seeing that the old men behind them retreated, they were relieved and bold and quickly left the killing field.
North Korean general Zheng Guohan stepped forward and said with a sad face: "Master Beile, you can't win at all, the loss is too great! The last 30,000 people were pressed up, and it was not long before they lost one quarter of them."
Yue Le snorted coldly: "Stop for the morning and attack again in the afternoon! If all people die, Benbeile will add you again! If all 30,000 people die, we will add you another 30,000 people! Don't we have 200,000 Korean Green Camp? What are we afraid of? I don't believe it. If all 200,000 Korean Green Camps die, we can't conquer Jiaodong!"
Zheng Guohan stepped back with a "twist", but he gasped: Yue Le is not old, but he is cruel enough. In his eyes, the 200,000 Koreans do not regard him as a person.
But it is true that when did Fangzi be regarded as a human being by his master? In the later Korean War, Fangzi's casualties were not included in the United Nations casualties, because Fangzi was not considered a human.
What Yue Le felt sorry for was not the casualties of these sticks, but the lost shield cart. Although the shield cart was also made of sticks, how much wood is needed to build these shield carts? These wood is much more valuable than sticks!
This time, the Qing army lost 126 shield cars. The losses of these 126 shield cars were more difficult to accept than the losses of more than 7,000 sticks.
At present, the nearby woods have been cut down long ago. If you want to build a new shield truck, you need to cut wood from a distance to build a shield truck. How much time will it take to waste?
"We have lost 126 shield cars, and we have less than 100 shield cars left." said a Goshha.
Yue Le snorted coldly: "There are less than a hundred shield cars in less than a hundred! After using meals in the afternoon, attack again! There are only so many shield cars, so that the sticks can speed up and rush up! All they have to do is consume the ammunition of the dog and pave the way with the corpses of the sticks! As long as they can pave a way, we can attack!"
The location of Jiaodong Peninsula is indeed too important, because it is too close to the capital. Even if the Qing army does not take Xi'an, it can still attack Jiangnan because the trespasses no longer have the strength to counterattack Yanjing. However, if the Jiaodong Peninsula is not captured, the Qing army will not be able to attack Jiangnan, because the Ming army in Jiaodong can always use the trick of surrounding Wei to rescue Zhao, counterattack Yanjing, and force the Qing army to visit again. When the Qing army returns to defend Yanjing, the Ming army can retreat by boat.
Another point is that the Jiaodong Peninsula is connected with Zhu Yihai in southern Shandong. Zhu Yihai cut off the canal traffic. If the Qing Dynasty wanted to send troops to attack Jiangnan, it would be inseparable from the transportation of the canal.
