Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 50 The First Battle
"Qiangzi, are you nervous?" Wang Yang asked.

"Be nervous with the hammer, I will kill as many Tartars as you come." Pan Aqiang raised his flintlock gun and said boldly, unlike his first time on the battlefield.

At the same time, he looked back at the other brothers and found that everyone's atmosphere was very serious.

That's right, the guards have already set foot on the territory of Zhangzhou Prefecture.

Dongshan Island is only more than 300 meters away from the land, and it is very fast to cross the sea, but they have to go faster, and make a surprise attack before the Qing army is ready.

"Accelerate the march!" Zheng Kezang ordered, and he personally held the line.

On the other side, the admiral's camp of the Qing army had already received the news. After all, the Qing army was not blind for such a large landing operation.

"Urgent report, Lord Admiral, Zheng Kezang, the false son of the pirates, is coming with troops." The messenger knelt in the account and reported to Wan Zhengse.

"What, I don't go to trouble them, they come to me instead, I'm still afraid of you on the water, and dare to come to land to seek death." Wan Zheng said angrily.

"How many people are here?" Wan Zhengse asked.

"Report to the admiral, there are about 5000 people." The summoner replied.

"Pass me the order, prepare to attack." Wan Zhengse ordered.

At this time, Wan Zhengse led [-] Fujian Green Battalions to station at the border of Zhugang, Yunxiao County, Zhangzhou Prefecture.

Originally, he planned to stay here to guard against Zhu Tiangui, but he didn't expect Zheng Kezang to come to his door. Wan Zhengse realized that his chance to make contributions had come.

As soon as the order was given, several explosions were heard outside, and Li Yong, his deputy, hurried in and shouted:
"Ming thief is coming, the admiral is not good, they have monsters."

"What monster, don't talk nonsense." Wan Zhengse scolded.

"Master Admiral, Ming Bandit's artillery is too fierce, like a ghost, brothers can't hold it!" another lieutenant general Wang Ying said anxiously.

"What are you afraid of! Everyone is a lieutenant general, will they be able to fight!"

Wan Zhengse slapped the table and scolded angrily: "My Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty are fighting these remnants of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention fighting more with less, isn't it just random killing?"

The lieutenant general below was so trained that he didn't dare to speak, and he didn't speak on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the first rank of officials had crushed people to death, Li En would have retorted face to face: We are just a green battalion, what kind of Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, isn't that the Eight Banners?Besides, how many people were killed by Liu Guoxuan in the Haicheng area, Liu Guoxuan went crazy, don't you know?

But Wan Zhengse was so angry that none of the generals present said a word, and no one wanted to be the first bird. What if Wan Zhengse got angry and said they disturbed the morale of the army, so he pulled them out and chopped them down.

"Cheer up, there are just 5000 people, I thought it was 5!" After finishing speaking, he picked up the binoculars and went out of the camp to see what was going on.

As soon as they got out of the camp, they found that their own soldiers were still gathering, but Zheng Kezang fired more and more shells, and they became more and more fierce.

"Why are you standing still, the general cannon fire back quickly." After speaking, he took out the binoculars to see what was going on.

I was startled when I saw it, it was really a "monster". These shells are Zheng Kezang's secret weapon, a special sweet powder explosive shell.

This is Lao Su's modified shell based on Dongning Shenlei, adding a large number of iron nails. Once it explodes, countless iron nails will fly out, harvesting the lives of the Qing army.

Coupled with the explosive power of sweet gunpowder, it is the only lethal force in this era.

Once the artillery came down, the Qing army had to suffer dozens of casualties.

Zheng Kezang was very satisfied with the power of the cannon: "Huang Qing, the Artillery Association pays attention to the artillery on the opposite side, and bombards them as soon as they find their tracks."

In order to achieve the strongest firepower, Zheng Kezang assembled all the artillery from Yongwei Town and the Guards.

Wan Zhengse's Fujian green battalion is also brave. After several rounds of artillery fire, they are still in chaos and order. They have already started to fight back. No wonder they can defeat Zheng Jing and the others.

"Anyway, [-] vs. [-], I have the advantage, and charge in formation." Wan Zhengse knew that he could no longer be bombed by Zheng Kezang, and had to fight Zheng Kezang hand-to-hand.

The first to counterattack was the General Cannon of the Green Battalion, but it was bombarded by Zheng Kezang's flowering bombs, and there was smoke everywhere.

Anyway, if you shoot the shells, even if you have completed the task, Wan Zhengse's Fujian Green Camp has compiled a lot of Zheng Jing's surrender troops, and their ability to shoot artillery is actually not bad.

It's a pity that they were harvested by Zheng Kezang's flowering bullets before they fired many shots.

Wan Zhengse's Fujian Green Battalion, after a short period of confusion, finally formed an formation and charged the Guards.

What Zheng Kezang formed was a semicircular army formation, with the guards sitting in the center and Yongwei towns protecting the two wings.

"Kill the thieves! Kill the thieves!" Holding the wooden shield in his hand, the Green Camp Dao Dun rushed towards Zheng Kezang's army formation with loud slogans, because their charge was relatively fast, and their formation was a bit scattered.

The shotgunners of the Green Battalion pressed in the rear, waiting for an opportunity to shoot.

Looking at the huge number of Qing troops, everyone in the guards was very nervous, but no one shot first. After this month's training, they would never pull the trigger without the command of the superior.

It was getting closer, and it was about 100 meters away. Pan Aqiang raised the Longquan sword, swung it down and shouted at the same time: "Shoot in the first row!"

The Longquan sword is the standard equipment of the officers of the Guards Army, and it is also an important item ordered by them.

The high rate of fire of the flintlock guns and the powerful power of sweet gunpowder caused the Qing army's charge to break instantly. Every time a row of guns was fired, the soldiers of the Qing army would fall down row by row where the bullets swept.

What shocked the Qing army even more was that they managed to rush to 50 meters in front of the Zheng army. In addition to the bullets from the guards, they were greeted by the thunder bombing from Yongwei Town!
Zheng Kezang had already made arrangements for this battle. The guards were in charge of platooning guns, and Yongwei Town was in charge of throwing thunder and shooting cannons. The division of labor was clear.

The terrifying power of the grenade blew up the unprepared green battalion sword and shield hands all over the ground with stumps and broken arms. The green battalion soldiers who had never seen a battle were scared!

"Ghost, run away!" A young Qing soldier with blood on his face ran away in a panic, and before he ran a few steps, a lead bullet pierced his chest.

The Qing soldier who was hit lost all his strength in an instant and fell slowly. When he fell, his eyes widened and he looked in the direction of the guards, as if he wanted to remember these "demons" and never run into them again in his next life. .

There were still some Green Battalion soldiers who were not afraid of death still immersed in the charge. Zheng Kezang raised the gold-plated Longquan sword and ordered:
"Beat the drum, mount the bayonet! Guards, Yongwei Town, charge!"

Due to the small number of guards this time, Zheng Kezang has the authority to command the bayonet charge. Only when he gives the order will he give up the firearms and go directly to the blade battle.

Zheng Kezang gave an order, and all the officers of the former Youth Battalion drew out their Longquan swords and pointed them at the Qing army in front. In an instant, the Guards and Yongwei Town burst into loud shouts:

"Forward! Forward! Forward!"

Every "forward" hit the chest of the Qing army, and finally, the bayonet and the sword shield met!
