Win the Ding 1617

"Your grandfather, Nurhachi, is just a soldier of Uncle Li's family in Tieling. My general's uncle is an authentic descendant of the Li family in Tieling! According to your Manchurian barbarian rules, how dare you be so presumptuous when you meet your old master?!"

"If you want to fight, fight! My general said that although he is not as good as my young marshal, he can train the people of the mountains and forests into an elite that dares to charge against the guns, but there is also an elite soldier by his side, which is more than enough to fight you. Yes! Just come and fight!"

Thousands of officers and soldiers raised their voices, exposing all the past events of the Nurhachi family that they did not want to mention in broad daylight.However, Li Huabao still said that he stayed in Germany, and he did not announce the emotional entanglements between Nurhachi's mother Sitara and Li Chengliang, or the behaviors that the masses with a relatively low appreciation level liked to hear. public.When the brothers were in their adolescence, they often heard about this matter from the unscrupulous second uncle who was elated and gesticulating, which made them all blush.

However, these words, in the eyes of the Qing army, were extremely sinister and mean.There is a saying that when you hit someone, don't hit them in the face and scold them, don't expose their shortcomings.You, Li Huabao, wantonly exposed the fact that others were slaves to your family before they made a fortune in front of tens of thousands of people. This is not very good, is it?After all, no one has the psychological quality of Zhu Yuanzhang, so he told the world clearly that I was born in hardship, and there was no graveyard after my father died. I was a monk, had to eat, and served as a personal soldier. Step by step, I walked up to the throne of the emperor. .If this is placed in Millikin, it will definitely be the hero of an inspirational drama who is set up as a personal struggle just like Lincoln and Carter.Unfortunately, in the mouths of some conscientious young historical inventors, he is called the eighth thief.

Among the Green Banner soldiers present, the officers had more or less heard about the struggle history of the Qing emperor’s family, and also knew how the Nurhachi family went from a local official in a small border land to a serious problem in Liaodong step by step, and finally became a The master of the throne in Beijing.Today, after hearing the loud and loud propaganda of the Hongwu army on the opposite side, many officers suddenly realized!

"It turns out that the so-called thirteen pairs of armors raised troops and so on, there is no inside story! Thinking about what Uncle Li Li Chengliang did back then, it is similar to sending out our subordinates to pretend to be thieves and rob houses! Let the subordinates go out to toss, and the toss is very small. Now, you can get rich and make a fortune. If there is a lot of noise, you can just ask the court for military pay and officials. After you finish the fight, you can report the victory to the court! Otherwise, a Danu boy whose grandfather and father were killed, where will he go? Looking for thirteen sets of armor?!"

In the old Ming Dynasty, it was fine to have artillery at home, but armor was not allowed.Therefore, for a high-ranking official who had just had his grandfather and father killed, the origin of these thirteen sets of armor is very suspicious.

"Hehe! There are so many armors in a chieftain's family. I have been in office for several generations, and there are not so many servants in full armor!" A general laughed in his heart, "It turns out there is something wrong!" Bye Thanks to the popularity of all kinds of pornographic novels since Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the daily actions of these officers and generals, many people have begun to imagine what might happen to Nurhachi when he was a soldier. Various plots.

"Li Huabao! You bastard!"

Boluo's complexion turns blue, turns white, turns red, being scolded in public for your ancestor's shameful past, this kind of treatment is even more excessive than Li Huabao repeatedly slapping him face to face.Over the years, the elders in the family have told him how his grandfather and fathers got this inheritance through many battles, and he also worked hard for this inheritance, fighting around day and night.However, the palace in his heart was turned into rubble by Li Huabao's few words, with mud, water and dust everywhere, and mice and cockroaches running rampant.

"Beat the drums! Send orders! The artillery team fires! This general must get Li Huabao's head today!"

The muffled sound of drums was struck intensively by several shirtless drummers holding drumsticks. The sound of the huge battle drum made of a whole piece of cowhide dispersed the last drop of rain in the sky, and the sun finally appeared. His true face.

After the artillery team was busy for a while, there was a deafening sound of cannons. The ten Shenwei generals roared one after another, spewing thick white smoke to the front, and the thick smoke covered the thick figures of each artillery in an instant.

Ten rounds of guns weighing more than ten kilograms roared and charged towards the distant city of Shanghai!

In the front of the Qing army, more than [-] people followed the trajectory of these shells intently.

Because of the use of four-wheel millstone mounts and pilings for these heavy artillery, after the artillery is fixed, the angle of the muzzle can only be adjusted up and down, and it is difficult to move left and right. That is to say, the artillery only has a height control and no steering control.The trajectory of the shells is relatively fixed, and the range of the first round of artillery fire is quite critical.

As the first shell fell on the city wall, cheers erupted from the Qing army formation.

The first hit hits the head start.What's more, these Shenwei general artillery are still on duty to conduct test firing for the entire army's artillery team.For this reason, Boluo specially dispatched the most powerful artillery lineup under his command, the artillerymen dispatched from Dingnan King Kong Youde's command!

As the first artillery shell landed on the wall of Shanghai County, it only took a moment for the deafening sound of the Qing army's large and small artillery teams to explode, and a bunch of large and small iron balls scrambled towards the Hongwu army's position. Come.

The Qing army used the ten mighty generals to fire one cannon at a time, and then every ten cannons were used as a unit. The large and small cannons were classified according to the distance of the range and the weight of the cannons. Hongwu army artillery outside.

On the top of the city, a heavy solid iron ball bounced on the city wall, kicking up smoke and dust along the way, with blood shining in the rolling.However, there was no return fire from the top of the city, and there was no yelling with sharp teeth just now.It seems that the intensive artillery fire from the Qing army made the officers and soldiers of the Hongwu Army lose their opinions for a while and messed up their positions.

"Hmph! No matter how strong you are, no matter what kind of city you are, just put a hundred red cannons in a row and bombard them for a few days, lest you not surrender?!"

The weapon of criticism is far less effective than the criticism of weapons.Only one round of artillery fire made the Shanghai county head dumb.General Pingnan Boluo expressed his satisfaction.In his opinion, as long as the artillery bombarded this small seaside town for half a day, the army could cover up and kill it. "Li Huabao, you either die in battle, or you jump into the sea and escape!" Boluo arranged two choices for Li Huabao.

The city of Shanghai County was built in the 32nd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. It was originally used to "prepare the Japanese". , Yanhai, and Baodai and Chaoyang gates, commonly known as Xiaodongmen and Xiaonanmen.Because it is close to the river and sea, the Qing army only needs to attack the city walls on the west and north sides, leaving the east and south.Of course, that side is the business district that makes everyone in the Qing army salivate, and it contains the essence of the wealth in the southeast.It is said that the ground is paved with gold and silver, the trees are wrapped with silk, the grain is piled up into mountains, and the spirits flow into rivers.

"If you invest 5 soldiers and horses at a time, the general will not believe it. This small county can't be taken down!" Boluo made up his mind. For trenches, even with [-] corpses piled up, he would have to pile up a passage into Shanghai City.

On the river, more than a dozen fast crab boats could clearly tell the gender of the sailors standing on the deck of Li Huamei's fleet, but they couldn't tell by facial features.

"It's almost ready, all ships are loaded!" A command flag was waved, and the gunners on the fast crab boats on the brackets between the mainmast and the foremast were pulled off the caps of the guns, and the feather quills at the fire gates were removed. , started loading with a long bougie, and stuffed lead bullets weighing nearly two taels into the three-meter-long gun barrel, and carefully built it firmly with the bougie to prevent poor contact between the gunpowder and the projectile, resulting in The potency of the medicine cannot be brought into full play.

On both sides of the gunman, eight sword and shield soldiers held rattan shields to cover the left and right, guarding the gunman.They also have a role, which is to act as a pick for jumping and climbing.

These fast crabs are dual-purpose for sailing and oars. In addition to the sails on the mast, more than a dozen wooden oars protrude from the two sides of the ship.This design comes from the Portuguese among the Dengzhou soldiers under Kong Youde.They presented the design of the Calais galley, which was then presented to the regent Dorgon by Dingnan King Kong Youde.Dorgon ordered to start construction at Lianghuai, Jining and other shipyards.The wood is made of pine, which is naturally not a good wood, but the ideas of the top and bottom are the same: "As long as the boat is easy to use in the rivers and seas, it can catch up and hit it, as for how long it can be used, it can withstand it." It’s the luck of these sailors that they can’t stand the gunfire!” Even so, this fast crab boat costs more than 2000 silver dollars when fully equipped.

With the help of the wind and the frantic swinging of long wooden oars by the oarsmen, more than ten fast crabs have rushed into the formation of the fleet.

The leading officer ordered the transport to be carried, squinted his eyes and looked at the distance between the two fleets, "Six hundred paces,"

"450 steps!"

This distance is far beyond the effective killing range of raising the gun, even if it is fired, it will only scratch the itch of the Aomei and other warships.

"Four hundred steps!"

"350 steps! Attention all ships! Put up your guns!"

Following his order, the gunmen of each ship, the front shooter straightened the shoulder pads sewn from cotton cloth on their shoulders, took a bow and arrow step, firmly fixed their feet on the ship board, and used a A wide cloth strap tightly combined the barrel of the gun with his shoulder.

"aim!"

While speaking, the distance between the two fleets was shortened to more than two hundred steps, which was within the effective range of raising the gun.The gunmen held the butts of their guns and took advantage of the height difference between the former shooter and themselves to aim at the deck of the Hongwu Army warship, searching for valuable shooting targets.

"Miss! The Qing army's boat rushed in! Please take shelter for a while!" Fathead Yu pulled Li Huamei, trying to pull her into the cabin to avoid the sharp edge temporarily.

"This is the gun-carrying ship of the Qing army. If the order continues, my elder brother will die at the hands of these thieves. I will not retreat, so as not to give these thieves the capital of talking. You want to let me If the officer is safe, then I will beat these thieves into the river to feed the pigs and dragons!" Li Huamei's eyes were covered with a murderous mask of frost, she really looked like a scarlet-winged tiger!

Li Huamei herself is the daughter of Liang Guogong. When Emperor Chongzhen was alive, the imperial court certified her as a princess. Although the dynasty changed several times, her title of knighthood was not affected at all. .However, what Li Huamei cares most about is her own mission, the forward commander of Hongwu Army Navy.This is an errand that is not within the official system of the imperial court.

Moreover, facing the title of her personal captain, she called herself the official and didn't think that I was your eldest lady, which already showed her attitude.When I am on the Aomei account of this official, there is no such princess as the princess, nor the eldest lady of Liang Guogong Li Shouhan, only your chief Li Huamei!And she mentioned Li Huayu who died young because of carrying a gun, which is the deep hatred of the entire Hongwu army system.

"Please don't worry, master! Today is the day to avenge my uncle! The bidders will definitely destroy these ships!" Lan Wanzhong, the gunner of the Ao Mei, opened his eyes wide and almost burst into flames. Come.He also replied to Li Huamei with the name of the army.

"Every gun is in place!"

"Prepare!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

Li Huamei's fleet and Ehri's fast crab fleet gave the command to fire almost at the same time.

For a while, two or two heavy gun bullets and one or two more artillery shells criss-crossed and intertwined on the river surface, and the fight was very lively.The sailors and oarsmen on the fast crab boat were constantly hit by the shot and fell into the water. A large pool of blood appeared in the river and disappeared in a blink of an eye.From time to time, on the deck of the warship, some sailors were hit by the lead bullets from the raised guns, looking at the blood stains on the chest and abdomen in amazement, at a loss what to do.Others fell in a pool of blood, screaming miserably.The lead bullets from the guns hit their arms and shattered them, leaving some fragmented limbs beside them.

"Hit! Hit hard!"

"Fight! Fight hard! Prosperity, wealth and honor are earned by fighting!" The officers on both sides were desperately motivating their subordinates.

After a round of shooting, the disadvantage of the fast crab boat became apparent.This kind of ship is fast, but there are almost no protective measures, and it is pressed down and beaten by Hongwu Army's ships.Within a distance of one or two hundred steps, although it is the best range for raising the gun, it is also the killing range of the Hongwu Army's artillery shells.The gun positions on the gunboat are guarded by deck boards. Unless lead bullets fly directly into the gun holes, it is difficult to cause damage to the gunners.However, those shotguns are different for the sword and shield soldiers and gunmen on the fast crab boat.The shotguns flying around caused a lot of psychological pressure on the gunmen who were trying to reload after firing a shot. Many gunmen were frightened, and they could not perform [-]% of their usual skills.The unlucky soldiers on the ship who were hit by the shotgun and fell to the ground, wailing, added to their strong psychological pressure, and their hands and feet slowed down even more.

"Throw the rope net, prepare to jump to the gang!" Seeing the increasing number of casualties on his own side, which was almost one-sided, he made a decisive decision and ordered the ships to throw the rope net, preparing to let the sword and shield soldiers jump to the gang. With a big knife and ax in his hand to kill the sailors on the gunboat.

"Boom! Boom!"

Streams of water splashed between the fast crab boat and the Hongwu army warship. From far to near, dozens of large Qing army ships, under the command of Ehri's tugboat, approached Li Huamei's Aomei and fired .

These sand ships are the main fleet of the Qing army navy.

They take the ship as a unit, and they are equipped with different types of artillery. Although most of them are arranged at the bow and stern, the advantage lies in the large number of ships.Moreover, they also have highly skilled observers, who are used to calculate the shooting elements and arrange how many medicine packs to load.Although the medicine bag is not as luxurious as Hongwujun's, the medicine bag made of castor silkworm cocoons is made of coarse silk, but it is also a cotton medicine bag.In addition to telescopes, the observers on each ship also have a series of square and circular instruments.

These gunners are the essence of artillery that Dorgon has collected from various places since entering the customs. The Qing army spent a lot of money on these people.Houses, fields, money, slaves, women, official positions, whatever you want, as long as you are willing to work for me!

These gunners also knew what it cost them to live and work in the Qing army. At this time, they all naturally performed very hard, firing the artillery quickly and accurately.

Several shells landed on the deck of Hongwu Army's gunboat, and countless sawdust fragments exploded immediately. The shells bounced and rolled around. Two sailors were rolled off their calves by the shells, and fell on the deck crying.

A shell landed on the lower deck of the Aomei bridge, and the deck sawdust splashed by the shell, and a large cloud of dust rose into the air, and landed on Li Huamei's head. On the cloak, coupled with the gunpowder smoke, Li Huamei's The face was dyed black and white.

"Master General!" Fathead Yu rushed forward with a few of his own soldiers, trying to use their bodies to block Li Huamei from possible flying dangers.

"Go away! Don't stand in my way!" Li Huamei reprimanded viciously.Fathead Fish's actions blocked her view, "I haven't made a cannonball that can kill me yet!"

"Alas! What a pity!" Ling Tiyun also saw this scene on the Aomei, and couldn't help but yell out what a pity. "Brothers, hurry up! If you get late, the credit will be taken away by others!" He threw a rope net with an iron hook with all his strength, and the iron hook hooked obliquely to the side of Ao Mei.

"Damn! You bunch of thieves who don't know how to die!" Fathead Yu cursed, and pulled out a pair of short-barreled guns from the wide leather belt around his waist, "Go! Get rid of those thieves!"

"It's only close! Slaves, fight hard! The glory and wealth of your descendants are in your hands!" Ehri saw that Li Huamei was almost hit on his own ship, and he couldn't help shouting, motivating his men to hurry up. .
