Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 357: The Supervisory Team stepped on the corpse of the 1st Expeditionary Army and captured Nanchang!
The precise shooting suppression effect of the mobile car fort is good.
The soldiers of the 1st Dispatch Army were in high spirits. They stepped on the water of the moat, which was no longer deep, to put ladders on the Nanchang city wall, and climbed up on the poles.

Just halfway up the climb, a rock and a rolling log came crashing down on his face.

One after another, the living people fell from the ladder and were smashed into meat patties.

Wu Zhicheng, the governor of Jiangxi, fell into madness, jumping to his feet and shouting:
"Reinforcements will arrive soon. As long as you defend the city, if you need officers and money, I will give them all to you."

Not all Fu Biao was a loser, there were several defenders and guerrillas who had participated in the Jinchuan Campaign.

They held their shields in line,
He ordered the Green Battalion soldiers to smash stones, rolls of logs, and even pour entire bags of lime down, which achieved considerable results.

Once the eyes are blurred by lime, people lose their fighting power.

……

Gan Changsheng saw clearly and raised his right hand:

"Two more battalions, hurry up."

But the brutal scene of the ant attack on the city caused the two battalions that were supposed to be dispatched to hesitate.

The officers yelled and threatened wildly before reluctantly moving forward.

But I just rushed out not far away,

A Qing army's solid bullet roared into the middle of the team. Two ladders were destroyed, and more than a dozen people around were killed or injured.

A robber-turned-soldier’s psychological defense finally collapsed.

The blood of his companion sprayed in his face, making him sick and sick.

"Ah~ I quit."

His retreat caused a chain reaction.

Hula la, hundreds of people were led by him to flee.

"Don't retreat, go back, go back!"

The officer who wanted to stop him was killed by these crazy people with just one shot.

……

Li Yu saw it and groaned.

Huang Si, who was beside him, understood this and immediately urged his horse to run to the supervising team.

"Aim at the deserters and fire!"

The gunners quickly adjusted the direction of the four light 4-pound guns.

The fuse was lit, and after several dull cannon blasts, the deserter 20 feet away was enveloped in a curtain of cannonballs.

Hu la la fell down in a big piece.

Fortunately, there were more than a dozen people who were not injured on the edge.

They were so frightened by the tragic scene around them that they dropped their weapons, knelt down on the spot and raised their hands high.

The gunner looked at Huang Si.

Huang Si made a cutting motion.

A few more cannon shots were fired, and there were no more deserters standing.

The supervising team used the 3-pounder cannon, and its force was so powerful that the soldiers of the 1st Expeditionary Army were frightened.

……

Gan Changsheng shouted in time:
"What are you waiting for? Attack the city."

Hurrah, another three battalions of soldiers shouted and rushed towards the city wall.

The brutality of the supervising team made them dare not look back, and they could only vent their fear and fear on the Qing army in Nanchang.

moment,

The siege battle reached a fever pitch.

A row of iron-hook ladders were erected on the city wall, and countless soldiers climbed up the city with swords in hand.

The Qing army officers guarding the city shouted hoarsely:
"Pour the boiling oil and throw the mace."

A soldier holding a short knife and climbing to the middle of the ladder looked up and saw hot liquid rushing towards his face.

He covered his face and let out a shrill scream.

The body lost its balance and fell directly. Click, click, knock down all the four brothers behind him.

The two soldiers holding the ladder at the bottom were lucky enough to escape, and looked at the ladder hesitantly.

……

The officers were so furious that they no longer cared about the danger.

A tall battalion commander transferred from the 4th Army Corps, holding a gun in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, also rushed to the city wall.

"Zhang Laosan, Zhang Laosi. Why are you two so stupid?"

"Go up the ladder!"

The officer was able to name them because he was deeply impressed by the Zhang brothers.

The four brothers started their own business on the official road near the Ma'anshan Iron Mine. They dug holes to intercept the transport trucks on the mine. They were beaten to death by the escort and thrown into the 1st Expeditionary Army.

A real gangster!
During training,
The four brothers were still unruly and were often whipped.

The eldest and second child were whipped 50 times in public and thrown into hard labor in a baggage camp. They did not know whether they would live or die. Therefore, only the third and fourth sons went to the battlefield.

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, the two brothers looked at each other.

"Go! Let's fight to the death."

The two of them held up their shields and climbed up on the ladder.

At this time, the Qing army at Duokou brought another pot of boiling oil.

Bang, he was shot dead in time by the gunmen in the mobile car fort.

The boiling oil was poured on the Qing soldiers who had been shot, and they were struggling painfully on the ground, emitting a disgusting smell of meat.

The two brothers survived a desperate situation.

The large amount of adrenaline secreted caused them to temporarily leave their bodies and burst out with amazing fighting power.

……

Zhang Laosan can no longer remember how he rushed up to the crenellation of the city wall.

How did he avoid the thrusts of three spears from the Qing army? He rolled like a lazy ass on the ground and slashed the ankles of three people with one knife~
Anyway,

In the short time of drinking tea, he almost became a god.

He suddenly became the first person to ascend.

The Qing army was divided into two groups. Some threw away their weapons and fled into the city, while others risked their lives to block the gap.

Zhang Laosan held a short sword in his hand, his expression was as fierce as a demon, his arm was bleeding, and his armor was split.

Zhang Laosi picked up a spear on the ground and protected his brothers from the side.

Three more Wu soldiers climbed up the ladder one after another.

One of them cut off the Qing dragon flag at the top of the city and threw it down the city wall.

Witnessing this scene,

Dozens of Wu army formations burst into thunderous cheers and roared like rolling thunder.

……

"Quick, kill them."

Wu Zhicheng jumped on his feet, eyes wide open.

The soldiers rushed forward in a rush, and the trapped beasts continued to fight, making a final struggle.

At this time, the role of personal martial arts is negligible.

All kinds of swords, spears and axes were used to chop and hack at random.

Zhang Laosan was accidentally stabbed in the shoulder by a spear. Blood spurted out, but he didn't feel much pain.

He threw away the short knife in his hand, held the spear shaft with both hands, and glared at the Qing army opposite.

This Qing soldier was also quite ferocious, holding the other end of the spear shaft and pushing forward hard.

One step, two steps, three steps~ He actually pushed Zhang Laosan to the crenellation of the city wall.

……

Zhang Laosan thought to himself that he was probably going to die in Nanchang City.

suddenly,

A spear flew through the air.

This Qing soldier was stabbed through.

At the critical moment,
They have to be brothers!
Zhang Laosi's spear throw from the air saved Zhang Laosan, whose life was hanging by a thread.

Zhang Laosan swung his sword and cut off the spear shaft.

The spearhead remained in his shoulder, not daring to pull it out.

Perhaps because the adrenaline was fading rapidly, he began to clearly feel severe pain and a sense of weakness and exhaustion.

Bang bang bang,
Continuous gunfire sounded on the city wall.

The Fubiao Guards lined up 2 rows below the city gate building, firing without distinction between friend and foe.

The captain of the guard has gone crazy,
He actually turned the muzzle of a Franco machine gun and ignited the fuse.

……

Zhang Laosi is dead.

Blood spurted out like spring water.

His eyes were wide open and he would not rest in peace.

Zhang Laosan rolled over and tried to hold down his brother's wound, but found that he couldn't.

There were wounds everywhere and bleeding everywhere.

呜，
There was a dull and loud sound, like the sound of a locomotive passing by.

That was when the heavy artillery outside the city opened fire again, and another 300-pound iron ball crossed the city wall and smashed into the city.

Wherever they passed, half the street collapsed.

Smoke and dust billowed, and people around screamed and fled.

More and more Wu troops climbed up the northern city wall, and some cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge.

The 2nd Army Group in the west also gradually climbed onto the city wall.

They didn't pay many casualties, they just picked up a piece of fruit. This battle,
9% of the casualties were borne by the 1st Expeditionary Army.

The suspension bridge was lowered with a bang, and when the city gate was rumbled open from the inside, everyone cheered, and Nanchang City was captured relatively completely.

……

The 4th Army and the 2nd Army marched into Nanchang from different directions, occupying various government offices and government treasuries like mercury pouring down the ground.

Kill the remaining soldiers and control the whole city.

After the situation was basically under control, Li Yu entered the city surrounded by a large number of personal guards.

Along the road, bodies lay prostrate.

"Your Majesty, be careful of slippery roads."

On the stairs leading to the north city wall, blood was still dripping down.

The higher you go, the more corpses there are.

The nauseating smell got stronger and stronger, so much so that Li Yu gave up on climbing to the top.

Huang Si whispered:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"It's too early. The biggest danger now is not the Qing army, but the flood. Find out the situation in Nanchang City as soon as possible."

"Yes."

……

One hour later,

The shouts of killing and the sound of gunfire almost subsided.

Gan Changsheng counted the remaining remnants. The 8000st Expeditionary Army originally numbered 1 people, but now the number of uninjured and slightly injured barely exceeded 3000.

In the battle against Guizhou Green Camp, more than a thousand men were lost, and in the battle against Nanchang, more than 3,000 men were lost.

There are many seriously injured soldiers who, even if they survive, have no chance of returning to the team.

The loss is horrific!
Looking at these men whose armor was stained with blood, he felt pity.

Fortunately,

The examiner quickly fulfilled his reward.

"Your Majesty has decreed that the 1st Expeditionary Force should be rewarded for their meritorious service. Wine and meat have been prepared in the camp, and rewards and silver coins will be distributed together. The statistics of the list of those who have made meritorious service first are as follows."

The original Fubiao Barracks temporarily became the location of the 1st Expeditionary Army.

The doctors in the city and the "Mongolian doctors" accompanying the army arrived one after another.

The wounded screamed one after another, blood flowed on the ground, and the smell was terrible. At the same time, it was mixed with the aroma of wine and meat, and the crying of a woman.

……

Zhang Laosan took out 2 ingots of silver from his cloth pocket.

Throw it to a shivering local trauma doctor in Nanchang:

"Don't be afraid. Help me take good care of it, and the money will be yours."

"Yes Yes."

"Don't shake your hands!"

"Master Jun, I, I don't want to shake, I can't control my hands."

Next to him, a military doctor who had been coveting for a long time came over immediately:
"Brother, can I take over this job?"

"you?"

"Yes, how many stab wounds and gunshot wounds can an ordinary doctor see? I'm different. The 2nd Army is recruiting veteran military doctors who are paid. I have experience in dealing with penetrating injuries like yours. Six of them died and four survived. The success rate is Very big.”

This man is very strong and has a fierce face.

Zhang Laosan thought for a while, grabbed 2 more silver coins, and pushed them to him.

"My life is entrusted to you. Brothers, bear witness for me. If I am executed by him, I will get the silver back for you. You share half of it, and the remaining half will be given to my eldest brother and my second brother. If they also die, Please help us buy four good coffins, brothers.”

"No problem. Brother Zhang."

Everyone quickly patted their chests and assured them that this was a sign of respect for the warriors who came first.

……

The old military doctor started to go through the process calmly.

First change into clean cotton clothes, blue, auspicious.

He picked up long chopsticks and fished out various sharp things from the boiling water basin on the stove, including long and narrow knives, scissors, tweezers, hammers, small axes, and embroidery needles.

6 steps to wash your hands!

After washing my hands, I pulled up the cotton mask.

There is something kind-hearted about it.

The two assistants beside him, let's call them little military doctors, took out hemp rope and tied up Zhang Laosan.

Bring out a large bowl of spirits:

"Drink it."

Zhang Laosan gurgled, drank all, but was not drunk.

The old military doctor frowned:
"No, drink again."

After three bowls in a row, he was still not satisfied.

Go to the back and punch~
Zhang Laosan finally passed out softly.

……

"Master, is it okay?"

"Let's see what the master does."

The old military doctor's actions seemed rough, but in fact they were not gentle at all.

Cutting off the clothes stained with dried blood, two obvious wounds and five minor injuries were revealed.

The most serious one was a penetrating injury to the shoulder.

He held the spear shaft and shook it slightly.

Then the energy sinks into the Dantian, both feet touch the ground, and the waist and horse become one.

A low roar~
The spearhead hit the ground, blood spurted out, and the old military doctor was covered in blood.

The apprentice quickly took a clean cotton cloth and pressed it against the wound. Hemostatic powder was sprinkled on the cotton cloth.

Zhang Laosan's veins popped out and he howled heart-breakingly.

The old military doctor was upset when he heard this, so he grabbed a piece of cloth and stuffed it into his mouth, and the howling stopped abruptly.

……

After a while, the old military doctor who washed the blood off his face returned to the scene.

He took the drink and slowly poured it into the other stab wounds~
Very stable and accurate.

The trickle of strong liquor washed out the dirt and dirt from the wound, revealing a bright red blooming wound.

"The wound must be treated cleanly and the bleeding must be completely stopped, otherwise he will die sooner or later."

As he spoke, he walked to the nearby stove and grabbed a red-hot soldering iron.

Everyone watching in the room gasped.

Looking at the kind-faced old Chinese medicine doctor walking toward Zhang Laosan step by step with a soldering iron in hand.

After a while,
He looked at the cotton cloth that his apprentice pressed on his shoulders and no longer seeped blood, and then he said with relief:
"The hemostatic effect is okay, so there's no need to apply the soldering iron. It's a good sign!"

"Yes, yes, yes. God will definitely bless you."

……

Everyone looked at the old military doctor in awe, picked up the silver ingots and stuffed them into the medical box. They had mixed feelings for a moment.

Discussions arose:
"This old military doctor has very noble medical ethics."

"A craftsman who would starve to death in a famine year, his medical skills must have been passed down from his ancestors."

Wu Jun's battlefield medical system was drawn up by Li Yu himself.

Just by imitating modern health systems and operating procedures, the mortality rate was reduced by 4%.

These military doctors all have some indescribable former professions.

In addition to basic salary, they will also receive corresponding rewards based on the survival rate of treatment. In addition, Li Yu did not prohibit them from collecting "please money" from the wounded.

However, due to some concerns, the order of treatment cannot be changed. This will avoid the situation in the future where the wounded will be left to the last resort without money.

As a modern person who has traveled through time, Li Yu advocates "the combination of reasonable systems and monetary incentives."

……

There are many differences between the 1st Expeditionary Army and other regular field armies.

Like, no firearms!
For example, military discipline is more relaxed!

After capturing the city of Nanchang, it was natural to clear out a group of people.

More than 100 households of civil and military officials and gentry below the governor level were included in the cleanup targets.

Wu Zhicheng's head was displayed to the public.

In addition, more than 50 people accompanied him and lost their heads.

More than 200 young female dependents were incorporated into the female battalion of the 1st Expeditionary Army.

Jiangxi war,

In front of the cannon fodder were the guns of the Qing army, and behind them were the cannons of the supervising team. The casualties were heavy, and the collective anger can be imagined.

A carrot in one hand and a stick in the other.

Rewarding women with wine, meat and women has the effect of "drawing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron".

This move greatly alleviated the anger of the remaining soldiers and minimized the risk of the remaining soldiers rebelling and blowing up the camp. If they are suppressed blindly, these beasts will be defeated sooner or later!

In the evening, it started to rain lightly.

The 3000 remnant soldiers roamed the camp, anesthetizing themselves and accepting their fate.

Li Yu had no joy of winning, because bad news came one after another from Fuhe and Ganjiang rivers-the water level was still rising.

It is no longer possible for Zhouqiao Camp to build a pontoon bridge.
