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

Chapter 88 White Eyed Wolf

For example, in the War of Independence of the thirteen North American states, the main force was not the militias of the thirteen North American states, but the French army.

If the French had not provided money and effort to fight a voluntary war with the British, even the French fleet would have personally fought against the British Royal Navy.

Just based on the militias of the thirteen states in North America, Washington had long been hanged on the gallows by the British as a warning to others.

In other words, the real founding father of Eagle Sauce is not Washington, but King Louis XVI of France.

It was through the intervention of the French that the United Kingdom lost thirteen North American states and the United States was founded.

Of course, the French don't have a good time either.

The price they paid for this was years of war that left the French treasury empty and the royal family heavily in debt.

Just a few years after the North American War of Independence, the French Revolution broke out, and then Louis XVI was sent to the guillotine of his own design...

Therefore, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Louis XVI is the true founding father of the United States, the one who truly sacrificed his life for the founding of the United States.

The United States is somewhat ungrateful in not helping Louis XVI erect a statue on Mount President.

Everyone said that Bangzi was ungrateful, but after Wanli came to the aid of the Ming Dynasty, Bangzi even erected a stone tablet in Seoul to rebuild the vassal state.

Even after Jiashen and the Ming Dynasty fell, they built Xuanwu Temple, Minzhong Altar, Da Bao Altar and other temples and ancestral halls in and around Seoul. Every year they offered sacrifices to the soldiers who died in the Ming Dynasty's war to resist Japan and aid Korea, as well as Wanli Chongzhen and others. Emperors of the past dynasties.

It can be regarded as repaying the Ming Dynasty for helping North Korea fight against Japanese pirates and helping North Korea recover.

But what about the old Americans?
After the successful independence, the "Father of the Nation" Louis XVI was directly forgotten by them.

That's all. They even launched a Louisiana Purchase to annex the French colony of Louisiana in North America.

Isn't this a pure white-eyed wolf?
But having said that, Louis XVI was guillotined a few years later, and France is really awesome now.

It is precisely because of this, coupled with the prevalence of nationalist trends in its country, that it is difficult for the proud French to accept loyalty to the East.

Of course, this is not absolute.

In the final analysis, it’s still the same sentence, you have to pay more!
Zhu Jing'an heard this and said with a smile.

"Old Pete, you don't need to be loyal to me!"

"Those little cuties with bright yellow and shining silver are the objects of your allegiance."

Old Pete laughed loudly when he heard this.

"Hahaha, my dear general, you understand me."

Zhu Jing'an only nodded slightly.

Foreigners have always been like this, everything depends on money.

When the money is in place, everything is easy to talk about.

"Keep firing and use fire suppression on the wall of Zhennanguan Pass!"

"Then arrange for the infantry to launch a tentative attack on Zhennanguan under the cover of artillery fire."

Zhu Jing'an ordered with a calm expression.

The Ming army's gunners received the order and continued to bombard Zhennanguan.

One artillery piece fired alternately, and the sound of shelling never stopped.

Boom!Boom!
The thunderous bombardment was simply deafening.

Ten heavy long cannons lined up in a row, taking turns spitting tongues of fire at the Zhennanguan Pass wall.

Among these ten heavy long guns, five were purchased by foreigners before Li Mu, including two 24-pound guns and three [-]-pound guns.

The remaining five heavy long guns are 120mm siege guns made by the Jintian Arsenal of the Ming Dynasty.

The design specifications of this type of artillery correspond to the foreign twelve-pounder long gun.

But speaking of its true power and practicality, it is even stronger than the twelve-pound long cannons purchased from foreigners in the Ming Dynasty.

At the very least, because the Ming army's cannons were made of steel instead of copper, they were much lighter in weight.

The Ming army's 120mm siege artillery has great advantages in terms of mobility compared with the foreign 12-pound long guns.

Today, it is the first time that the 120 siege gun has been put into actual combat on the battlefield, and its damage effect is astonishingly visible to the naked eye.

……

"Fuck their bright thieves, where did a bunch of thieves get the heavy artillery?"

"We, the imperial army, only have forged iron cannons. Where did those Ming thieves get their heavy cannons?!"

Liu Shang cursed and looked extremely ugly. He was supported by a group of people and walked towards the city. His calves were still trembling.

My teeth couldn’t help but tremble!

At this moment, his heart was filled with resentment against the Qing court.

If the Qing Dynasty could be less defensive against them, their Green Camp soldiers could be equipped with heavy artillery like the Hongyi cannon like the Eight Banners.

Now why are they so beaten by the Ming army's heavy artillery that they can't even lift their heads?
Just now, a cannonball passed over his head and hit the city gate tower.

The city gate tower was destroyed by a cannonball.

Just a few inches away, Liu Shang's head was hit by a cannonball and smashed into a rotten watermelon.

The feeling of breathing face to face with the God of Death almost tore Liu Shang's nerves apart. His legs were as soft as two noodles, and his crotch was already wet and hot.

It was obvious that he had just been frightened to the point of peeing!
"Lord Tosi, be careful."

"Forget it, it will be safe once we get out of the city."

"..."

Everyone spoke up.

Liu Shang's face was still very ugly.

However, at this moment, a messenger rushed down from the city with a panicked face, came to Liu Shang, and spoke.

"Qi... I am reporting to Lord Dusi that the infantry of the Ming Army are pressing forward, and it looks like they are preparing to attack the city..."

When Liu Shang heard this, his expression changed.

He looked back at the towering city wall, suppressed the fear in his heart, and gritted his teeth.

"Ascend the city! Quick, let's get back to the city wall!"

The Ming army was about to attack. If he, the capital commander, hid under the city wall, the Qing army defenders on the city would probably be destroyed.

If all the defenders are defeated, then there will be no way to defend the city!
……

Outside Zhennan Pass.

In the open space in front of the pass, the Ming army, under the cover of artillery fire, pushed the shield car toward the direction of Guancheng.

The sound of cannons rumbled and smoke filled the air.

The air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder smoke.

What the Ming army is currently using is the crudest infantry and artillery coordination tactics.

To put it bluntly, the infantry charges forward under the cover of artillery fire.

Seeing this, the Qing troops at the top of the city also began to fight back.

collapse!Bumble!

The bowstrings vibrated together.

A dense rain of arrows shot down from the top of Zhennanguan.

Along with it, there was the crackling and extremely chaotic sound of shotgun fire.

Countless projectiles and arrows were shot at the Ming army pushing the shield cart.

Benedict!Tuk Tuk!

This is the sound of arrows hitting the shield chariot.

boom!Bang bang!The projectiles were shot on the wooden planks of the shield car. Although the high-speed projectiles hit the shield car and splashed wood chips, they were also unable to penetrate the thick wooden plank in front of the shield car.

The Ming army's musketeers were hiding behind the shield vehicles, sticking their heads out from time to time and aiming at the city head to shoot.

Every time a gunshot rang out, a plume of smoke would curl up from behind the shield vehicle.

Nowadays, most of the muskets equipped in the Ming army are smoothbore guns, and the number of rifled guns is quite limited.

Everyone knows the accuracy of the musket!

On the current battlefield, despite the exchange of muskets, bows and arrows between the two sides, the fighting is quite lively.

But the killing effect is completely non-existent.

boom!Boom!

This is the firing of several forged iron cannons on the Guancheng of the Qing Army.

But what is very obvious is that there are only guns firing and smoke filling the city, but there are no projectiles flying.

And none of the shield vehicles on the Ming army's side was damaged.

The reason for this is very simple. The quality of the wrought iron cannons on the Zhennanguan Pass wall is really hard to say.

When the gunners of the Qing army were operating their cannons, they did not even dare to put shells into the barrels, for fear that these grandpa cannons would explode.

So, a group of people unanimously made the same decision, put some gunpowder in the barrel, and fired the cannon to make a loud noise.

Forget about shelling!
If Zhennanguan was breached, they could still be prisoners of war.

Anyway, gunners are a technical unit and are very popular no matter where they are placed.

But if the artillery exploded, they might not even be prisoners of war.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, on the battlefields where the Ming and Qing Dynasties fought, the Qing army often pushed shield carts and attacked the cities defended by the Ming army under the cover of fire from red-coated cannons.

However, the Ming army was often at a loss to fight back because the quality of its firearms was not up to standard.

But now, it is the Ming army that is pushing the shield cart and attacking the city under the cover of artillery.

Instead, the Qing army suddenly transformed into a side that was helpless in fighting back!
It can only be said to be a trick of good fortune.

……

"Quick! Quick! Quick! Prepare explosives to blow up the city!"

"Shields, everyone, raise your shields and protect your vital points!"

"The sword and shield bearers are ready. As soon as the city gate is blown open, the sword and shield bearers will charge immediately."

The top of the Ming army's shield car reached the gate of Zhennanguan. Above its head were rolling logs and rocks falling like rain.

It’s a dense rain of arrows and projectiles!
It was boiling golden juice that exuded a pungent stench.

Under the obstruction of the Qing army, the Ming army's siege troops also gradually suffered casualties.

Screams continued, and from time to time someone would fall to the ground injured.

Some people were hit on the head by rolling logs and stones, and some people were hit by arrows and projectiles, and blood flowed profusely.

What was even more unlucky was that he was splashed with gold juice.

It doesn't matter that it smells bad, but what's even more frightening is that the high temperature causes skin ulcers, and the bacteria in the gold juice invade the human body.

In this era, once the bacteria in the gold juice invade the human body, that person will most likely be hopeless.

However, the Qing army's counterattack still could not shake the Ming army's offensive.

Scattered casualties could not make the Ming army give up the attack.

Immediately afterwards, the fuse on the explosive package burned out, accompanied by a loud bang.

Wood chips flew everywhere, the gate of Zhennanguan was blown open, black smoke billowed, and wood chips flew everywhere.

The next moment, loud shouts of death rang out.

The sword and shield soldiers of the Ming army did not hesitate at all, and charged into Zhennan Pass through the gap in the city gate that was blown open.

The Ming army's offensive was like a rolling wave, advancing unstoppably into Zhennan Pass.

Liu Shang stood on the wall of the pass and looked at the Ming troops who were pouring into the pass. His eyes turned black.

"Quick! Hold on! Hold on!"

"Let the brothers go up and push out the Ming thieves. If we lose this battle, we will all die without a burial place."

Under the order of Liu Shang, the commander-in-chief, the Qing soldiers in Guancheng rushed to the city gate.

He wanted to use the hundreds of soldiers who dared to fight and fight to drive the Ming army out of the city in hand-to-hand combat and regain control of the city gate.

Soon, the Ming army sword and shield bearers who entered the city collided head-on with the Qing army soldiers who came to stop them, and they fought together.

"Grenade, throw!"

Hearing the officer's shouting, Yang Chen pulled out a grenade from his waist, opened the wax seal, pulled out the fuse, lit it, and then threw it out with all his strength.

At the same time, almost all the grenadiers of the Ming Army were executing the same orders.

One grenade after another drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell into the dense array of Qing troops on the opposite side.

A rumbling explosion sounded, smoke filled the air, and the fragments produced by the violent explosion tore apart human bodies.

Broken limbs and broken arms were flying everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

As soon as the explosion ended, the Ming army took advantage of the situation and launched a charge.

Amid the shouts of killing, the Ming soldiers who entered the city broke up the Qing resistance in one fell swoop.

Throughout Guancheng, the Ming soldiers' loud shouts of killing were everywhere, and there were crowds of people attacking from the Ming army everywhere.

Countless crimson turbans gathered together, as if they were forming surging flames, burning away all the obstacles in front of them.

Yang Chen charged forward with the large army, but unknowingly, the team dispersed.

Regarding this, Yang Chen not only didn't have the slightest fear in his heart, but was extremely excited.

Because, within the scope of his sight, all the Qing troops were running away, and no one dared to stop and resist.

How could he be scared in the face of such an enemy?
Running hard, feeling the whistling wind blowing across his face, Yang Chen felt as if there was a fire burning in his chest.

As the Qing army's array was dispersed, the fighting in Guancheng turned from a tight formation of both sides and a face-to-face fight with guns and knives to a melee.

Most of the Ming army's soldiers are new recruits, and they will become braver once they get to the top, but the problem is that they are too brave.

Facing the Qing troops fleeing in all directions, most people forgot to cooperate in fighting, and only knew to rush forward, chasing the defeated Qing troops.

If the Qing army's array had not been torn apart, and the city gate had been breached, and their morale had collapsed, these Ming army recruits would have suffered a heavy loss.

Yang Chen clenched the sword and shield in his hand, stared at a Qing soldier with a panic-stricken face, and let out a roar.

"Kill!"

"Fucking dog Tatar, don't run away if you have the guts!"

Amid the cry of killing, he rushed forward without mercy, and mercilessly slashed the green soldier's chest with the long knife in his hand.

In an instant, the sharp blade penetrated his flesh, and blood spurted out all over his head and face.

Yang Chen drew the knife mercilessly, ignoring the remaining fear and pleading in the eyes of the green camp soldier.

Without any hesitation, he swung his knife and stabbed the green soldier in the neck.

The sharp knife cut open the throats and blood vessels of the Qing soldiers, and the blood spilled like a fountain, dyeing the ground red.

But Yang Chen didn't have the slightest pity or intolerance for this.

Because in his eyes, all Qing soldiers deserve to die.

He could never forget the scene where his mother died in front of him. He wanted to kill all the Tatars in front of him and avenge his mother.
