Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

At this point, if Feng Sheng'e didn't want all the Qing artillery to be lost outside Yangzhou City, then ordering the artillery to retreat was his only choice.

As Feng Sheng'e's order was issued, the Qing army's artillery positions began to retreat in an orderly manner.

However, how could the Ming army easily let the Qing army withdraw from the battlefield?

The roar of heavy artillery resounded through the sky.

The heavy artillery of the Ming army was still firing.

Cannonballs flew vertically and horizontally, causing damage wherever the cannonballs passed.

The dark, solid shells flew across the sky and landed on the ground, throwing up a large cloud of smoke and dust.

The shells rolled and rotated forward, smashing a straight line in the fields outside Yangzhou City.

The Qing artillerymen who retreated from the protection of fortifications paid a heavy price in casualties amidst the roar of artillery.

Broken limbs and broken corpses covered the entire battlefield.

……

Cui Yongxiu was riding on the back of a pony. Hearing the continuous roar from the distance, he couldn't help but be speechless.

"As expected of the Kingdom of Heaven, the sound of this artillery battle is like thunder. The military strength of North Korea is indeed far inferior to that of the Kingdom of Heaven!"

"It's not unfair to lose!"

This time, the Ming and Qing Dynasties gathered hundreds of heavy artillery for bombardment outside Yangzhou City, which really scared Cui Yongxiu, a Korean.

Before this, he had never seen an artillery battle of this scale!

He originally thought that the artillery batteries used by the Qing Dynasty in its conquest of Korea were terrifying enough.

But when he came to the main battlefield of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he realized what the highest level artillery battle of this era was.

Jin Dazhi on the side also had a look of admiration on his face.

"That's true. I did a rough count and found that the Qing Dynasty alone used nearly 200 artillery pieces, and the Ming army only had many more."

"The scale of this artillery battle is really too terrifying!"

But while admiring, Jin Dazhi was also inevitably worried.

Since the end of the Korean War, the Qing court began to consciously transfer Korean soldiers out of North Korea.

It is precisely because of this that Cui Yongxiu and Jin Dazhi came to the land of the Celestial Kingdom.

However, before they could experience the prosperity of the Celestial Kingdom, they were dragged to the battlefield and used as cannon fodder.

And the first battle they fought when they came to the Kingdom of Heaven was the Battle of Yangzhou, such a large-scale battle that could be called a decisive battle.

Looking at the smoke and dust generated by the bombardment of hundreds of heavy artillery, and listening to the rumbling sound of shelling in my ears.

These Koreans, who had never seen such a powerful force, were almost trembling in their calves.

Also, in the current artillery battle, the Qing army was obviously suppressed.

In order to save the situation, the higher-ups will probably order the infantry to launch an attack to block the Ming army's artillery muzzles.

As for the first cannon fodder role, there is no doubt that it must be their Korean soldiers.

Who told them that the North Korean soldiers were newly attached, and there was no one to cover them?

Isn't this the right choice for the best cannon fodder?

Just when Jin Dazhi was worried, a Qing army messenger rushed from a distance.

When Jin Dazhi saw this, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

What the hell, it’s not something you’re afraid of!

The ordering soldier rushed all the way to Cui Yongxiu and opened his mouth to convey the order.

"Cui Guerrilla, the imperial envoy has an order, ordering your troops to attack the west gate of Yangzhou immediately!"

"No mistakes!"

When Cui Yongxiu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but then he clasped his fists and said.

"Hey, my slave takes orders!"

Now that Cui Yongxiu is under Baoyi's banner, he can call himself a slave.

After receiving the order, Cui Yongxiu immediately ordered preparations for an offensive.

The sound of war drums resounded across the battlefield, and after the military order was issued, one by one the Korean soldiers began to raise their spears, swords, and spears and kill in the direction of Yangzhou City.

……

At the top of Yangzhou City, Zhu Jing'an continued to look at the battlefield.

As soon as the Qing army launched an attack from the west of Yangzhou City, he noticed the Qing army's movements and responded accordingly.

"Instruct our artillery troops to maintain firepower projection and block the Qing army's infantry offensive."

"Let our troops who are sheltering from artillery fire in the trenches behind the forward positions be prepared to enter the battlefield to meet the enemy at any time."

Zhu Jing'an issued the order, and the messengers rushed to deliver the order.

Zhu Jing'an continued to observe the battlefield!

……

On the battlefield, although the Qing army's shelling stopped temporarily, the Ming army's shelling continued.

Amidst the rumbling shelling, the battlefield was filled with smoke.

Black solid artillery shells passed by at low altitude, and the whine of the shells breaking through the air continued to sound.

Cui Yongxiu, as a Qing army officer who has been registered as a flag officer, has a master behind him, so naturally he does not need to be cannon fodder on the front line.

But Jin Dazhi is still just a grassroots officer, and his status is more than a star inferior to Cui Yongxiu. As soon as the war began, he was assigned to lead a charge to capture the Ming army's forward positions.

Although Cui Yongxiu wanted to take care of him, since the military orders from the masters above had come down, neither Cui Yongxiu nor Jin Daezhi had any room to refuse.

Jin Dazhi had no choice but to lead the charge himself.

Amid the shouts of death, war drums beat in unison, and the horn of charge sounded.

The black Korean soldiers formed a formation and rushed towards the Ming army's forward position in the west of Yangzhou City!

boom! Boom boom!

The Qing army's artillery fired feebly. Although it had no practical effect, it could still build momentum.

However, although the artillery of the Qing army was useless, the artillery group of the Ming army was quite sharp.

Artillery shells flew in one after another, plowing gaps in the Qing army's array.

Jin Dazhi watched helplessly as a shell landed a few meters in front of him, then bounced up and landed behind him...

In just an instant, the soldier behind him was smashed into a pulp by the cannonball.

The flying blood sprayed directly all over Jin Dazhi's back.

The shell continued to roll forward, almost clearing a straight line as it bounced and rotated.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten Qing soldiers died tragically under the gunfire of the Ming army.

Moreover, such things are not uncommon on the battlefield.

The Ming army's heavy artillery fired alternately. As the Qing soldiers entered the Ming army's bombardment range, there were casualties on the Qing army's side almost every time a cannon sounded.

For a while, if it weren't for the Qing army's supervising team still pressing behind.

The Korean soldiers who were driven in front of the formation had already collapsed.

But even with the pressure of the Qing army's supervising team, those Korean soldiers showed their timidity visible to the naked eye.

In order to avoid the Ming army's bombardment, their originally relatively tight array began to become sparse.

After a long time, finally, driven by the supervising team, the Korean soldiers rushed to a distance of 300 meters in front of the Ming army's formation.

However, before these Korean soldiers could be happy or make other responses, they heard a duller sound of shelling.

The field artillery that was pushed from the fort to the forward position one by one began to spit out gunpowder smoke.

On the battlefield, thick clouds of gunpowder smoke bloomed on the Ming army's positions.

Following this, dense clouds of shotgun pellets were spit out of the muzzle.

Under the impact of shotgun shells, the Korean soldiers rushing in front fell to the ground row after row.

The casualties were quite heavy!

Finally, after taking several rounds of shotgun strikes from the Ming army, the Korean soldiers in the Qing army finally collapsed.

They threw away their weapons, turned around and ran away, ignoring the army's orders and the killing of the supervising team.

"Help, run!"

"The Ming thief's cannon is so powerful that I can't withstand it. I really can't withstand it anymore!"

"Fuck you, I'll kill you if you get in the way..."

"..."

These Korean soldiers had just turned around and fled when they heard the rumble of horse hooves echoing across the battlefield.

The cavalry of the Ming Army rushed out from the camp, rushing forward like a torrent.

In just an instant, the Ming army's cavalry caught up with the defeated Qing army, and then began to kill them wildly, expanding the results of the battle.

……

Seeing this, Fengsheng's face visibly darkened. He knew that those Korean soldiers were most likely no match for the Ming army.

But I didn't expect those Korean soldiers to be defeated so quickly and so miserably!

These Korean soldiers are such fucking trash!

However, no matter how dissatisfied Feng Sheng'e was with the Korean soldiers and how disdainful they were, he could not just watch them all being eaten by the Ming army.

Seeing that the Korean soldiers were defeated all the way, and being chased by the Ming army, he almost collapsed completely. Feng Sheng'e could only open his mouth and give an order.

"Send the order, let our cavalry attack, block the Ming army's cavalry, and cover the Korean soldiers' withdrawal from the battlefield!"

After Feng Sheng'e's order was issued, Sangzi Zabu led his Horqin cavalry to jump out of the formation and kill the Ming cavalry who were chasing the Korean soldiers.

In an attempt to intercept the Ming army!

However, with the observation balloons in the sky, how could the Ming army give the Qing army this opportunity?

The Mongolian cavalry led by Sangzi Zabu had just come out of the battle, and the Ming army issued a military order to retreat.

The Ming army's cavalry began to break away from contact with the Qing army, taking turns covering and retreating in an orderly manner.

By the time Sangji Zabu led his men into the battlefield, the Ming army had already withdrawn from the main camp.

Seeing the hundreds of Ming army's remaining cavalry retreating from the battlefield, Sangzi Zabu's eyes were full of unwillingness.

But if he were asked to order a pursuit, Sanzizhabu would not dare.

Because the Ming army's artillery group is not a decoration!

If he ordered the Qing cavalry to pursue the Ming cavalry, once they entered the Ming army's artillery range, they would have to face the Ming army's firepower.

After several rounds of shelling, the Qing army's array was difficult to maintain.

At that time, the Ming army's cavalry turned their horses around and launched a countercharge...

Tsk tsk, the big defeat not long ago is still before my eyes! (End of chapter)
