Win the Ding 1617

Many generals and officers of the Green Banner Soldiers are no strangers to the Shanghai business district, and are even familiar with it.Most of these people were from Jianghuai, or even the various ministries of the Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River. Since the opening of the Shanghai business district, they have envied the prosperity here, the singing and dancing, and the prosperous business opportunities here.Inevitably, the brothers go here together to turn all kinds of goods on hand into hard silver dollars, or turn silver into more valuable jewels and red goods, and into more popular refined salt, fine cloth, grain, gunpowder, etc. .When there is really no money at hand, the big deal is to let the brothers under the banner of suppressing bandits break open a few villages at random, saying that these peasants who dig food in the soil are bandits, and their wives and children are bandits, and then, openly Report the merits, losses, and consumption to the upward, and then drive the population there to sell it here.

Anyway, these people are suffering and suffering in life. Let us sell them here with great kindness, let them find a place where they can eat, and we can fill our pockets. Why not?The Ming army did a lot of this kind of good deeds. (A certain armed force that has inherited the essence of traditional Chinese culture does more.)

In their impression, the bustling and clean business district was something they had never seen before.There is almost no rubbish on the wide streets, and the usual scenes of sewage flowing and urine everywhere disappear here.In sharp contrast to the prosperity here, the defense facilities here are so simple.

Except for a wall that separates the business area, there are no crenels, archery towers, urn walls, and horse faces in the cities of various parts of the Ming Dynasty. When more than one person visited the streets of the business area and saw the bustling scene full of gold and silver, This idea popped into my mind: "In such a prosperous and prosperous place, if you bring your children to snatch it, wouldn't you have riches and honors for several lifetimes? There is only one wall here anyway!"

Therefore, when Luck Dehun convened the generals to discuss matters before the battle and asked who would be willing to lead the enemy, almost all the generals of the Green Banner soldiers stood up and challenged each other, willing to fight for the general, the regent prince, and the Qing Dynasty. In the business district, the Nanmanzi was driven out of the Taotao East Sea.

In fact, everyone is well aware that this business district is like a child walking in the market with gold in his hand, whoever starts first will be able to grab the gold.Even if the gold has to be handed over, whichever battalion of us rushes in first, it is very easy to get some children's treasures casually!

With that wall, who can stop it?

Therefore, today, Luck Dehun was very generous and set aside 6 or [-] people, and handed it over to Bei Zigong Adai, who must fight to overcome the business district.Yue Le, on the other hand, was still very aggrieved to hold his ground in the rear team, acting as the general reserve team and the task of guarding the outer battlefield.

With a strong army and almost no decent defensive facilities on the opposite side, Gong Adai was very generous and sent 4 horses into the battlefield at one time.On the banks of the Huangpu River, a dusty battle line was opened.

"kill!"

"Kill the Nanman!"

"Into the business district, silver dollars can be moved casually!"

"Break into the business district, I will let you sleep!"

The recognition of the flags of the generals, the banners of the battalions, and various accents, accompanied by the sound of drums and shouts of killing, almost drowned out the sound of the Huangpu River.

"boom!"

The shells fired from the river broke people's dreams of getting rich, and people realized that it is not so easy to enter the golden mountain in front of them.

If the generals of the Green Banner Soldiers in front of us, including their commander Bei Zigong Adai, and General Pingnan Le Kedehun have studied the military formations of the past dynasties, or have tools such as drones and observation balloons that can monitor the battlefield If the situation is monitored in real time, they will immediately exclaim, "Queyuezhen!"

That's right!What Li Huabao presented to Luc Dehun today was the Queyue Formation.

It's just that Liu Yu's Queyue Formation uses building boats as the two-wing guards, and uses catapults and crossbows as long-range strike forces, while Li Huabao listed gunboats, firepower density and lethality on the Huangpu River. Not the same.

Moreover, the gunners of the gunboat were pleasantly surprised to find that the entire business area was completely within the optimal range of the gunboat's artillery, that is to say, those Green Banner soldiers who attempted to outflank the business area were completely within the range of the gunboat's firepower. Inside.

"At the beginning, the lord wanted to build a long and narrow business district along the river. At that time, we didn't know what was going on, and we didn't think it right. Now it seems that the lord is really a god! We have expected such a day. We will Defend on the river with artillery fire!"

"The old people have long said that the Lord is the one chosen by the gods. What did you say, the man of destiny, the son of destiny! Therefore, the old people said, what the Lord said, you must implement what you understand, and even more so if you don't understand it. .When you are done, you will enjoy the benefits!"

Unknowingly, Li Shouhan's prestige climbed to a new peak in the hearts of these young gunners, sailors, and soldiers.Afterwards, when Li Peilin learned about this incident, he even added fuel to the flames, making these young people the most active and fanatical fans.

The continuous fierce artillery fire from the two wings made the Green Banner soldiers on the two wings gradually shrink to the front, and the strength of the front troops continued to thicken.The recognition flags of dozens of generals, lieutenants, and generals are quite conspicuous.However, in front of Gong Adai's woven golden dragon banner, he was extremely submissive.

"Zhang Qingfeng, Xu Zixian, you two leaders go up first!" Gong Adai nodded to the two lieutenants, ordering them to attack first.

The combined forces of these two men are only more than 5000 men, which is not even a fraction of a cow among the more than [-] Qing troops. Let the two of them lead the troops first. Gong Adai has only one purpose, firepower reconnaissance, first find out Li Huabao's whereabouts Troop firepower configuration.As for the casualties, even if the [-] people died, it doesn't matter.

These two lieutenants are stationed in Jiangyin, Nantong and other places, so they are very familiar with the business district.From their point of view, this is General Gong Adai picking them for meritorious service! With 5000 troops, there are 10 soldiers and horses behind them, and nearly [-] soldiers and horses behind them.I'm afraid we can charge into the streets of the business district with one charge!Zhang and Xu had already figured out which street they were going to rush to!

5000 horses drove a long offensive line, braving the artillery fire from both wings, howling and rushing towards the business district.In front of them, there is a smooth road, no trenches, no deer villages, and no artillery fire.People run faster and faster, stimulated by the desire to get rich and get promoted, wanton looting, wanton burning, killing, plundering and adultery, they wish they could use their two legs as if they were four.

"I'm afraid Li Er Manzi has already been beaten! Otherwise, he would have rushed to his door, and there was no movement at all!" The generals of the Green Banner soldiers who were watching the battle behind were envious and regretful.Contains extreme jealousy!Why didn't such a good opportunity fall on my head! ?It must be that the location of the ancestral grave is wrong, and when I go back, I will dismember that Feng Shui master!

However, is the situation really so smooth and beautiful?A law of the devil tells you that when you feel that everything is going too well, there may be a big hole waiting for you in front of you.

There is no pit in front of the green flag soldiers, but a deep ditch.

This ditch is very insidious, about ten centimeters below the ground level, that is to say, you will never find this deep ditch until you go to the edge of the ditch.However, when thousands of people are running wildly together, and the person who rushed to the forefront finds a ditch in front of him and intends to stop, ask, can he stop?Even if he could barely stop, the hundreds of people behind would squeeze him down abruptly!

"Plop! Plop!" People kept falling and squeezed into the deep ditch, screaming and calling for help, but often the first cry, and the second before it was too late, the person who fell head-on fell hard. smashed.

"Fire!" A stern order came from the bunker disguised as a grave not far away.

Thousands of firecrackers fired hot projectiles in an instant, and the gray-white smoke condensed into a faint barrier in mid-air, and was instantly blown away by the wind.

The Green Banner soldiers on the edge of the deep ditch were already huddled together in a panic, some rushed forward, some turned backwards trying to retreat, they were in a mess, and suddenly they were taken care of by such dense firecrackers Suddenly, there were many casualties. Countless people were pierced by the projectile fired almost across a ditch. The impact of the projectile pushed them back and forth, fell to the ground, and fell into the deep ditch.

The distance of more than 30 steps is equivalent to firing a firecracker against the forehead of the Green Banner soldier.

After two rounds of shooting, there were only less than a thousand soldiers left under the two lieutenants, and the rest were either swallowed by the deep ditch or smashed to pieces by the bullets.

"Damn Nikan! Barbarian! You're so vicious!" Gong Adai could see clearly from behind, and he was also afraid for a while.Secretly called fluke!If he hadn't arranged for Zhang and Xu to lead the team first, I'm afraid there would be more than a few thousand people who fell in front of them!

"Didn't you say that there are no fortifications in the business area? How can you lose so many people in one battle?!" Gong Adai with a dark face, pointed at the surrounding generals who claimed to be familiar with the business area with the iron and steel sword in his hand. Hundreds of Bala soldiers each drew their weapons, and surrounded the dozens of people eagerly.

"General Gong Adai! We are indeed familiar with the business district. We are familiar with the streets and houses there. We also drew a picture and handed it to the general. No one would have imagined that this Li Er barbarian dug such a ditch overnight. Come!"

This ditch was not dug by Li Huabao overnight.This is just one of the sewage pipe network in the business district.Everyone in the world knows that both the Shanghai business district and the Hangzhou business district have an exceptionally clean environment and neat streets and houses, but they don't know what lies behind the cleanliness.At the beginning of planning the business district, Li Shouhan repeatedly emphasized the construction of sewage and sanitation pipelines. "Domestic sewage and rainwater from typhoons are discharged through these gutters and discharged into the river." At the same time, it is used as the construction principle, which is to strictly control the construction of urban defense systems and daily housing construction in Ha Tinh, Hue and other places. Combined.

Today, the Qing army is facing such a defense system. On the surface, there is no urn city, no watchtowers, and no horse faces, but there are covered trenches, bunkers, gun emplacements, and shooting positions on the roof. It constitutes a strike force of three layers of high, medium and low, and the firepower network is densely covered without dead ends.

The original sewage ditch opened the cover prefabricated by burnt ash, and it became an insurmountable Jincheng soup pool.The cover was transferred and used to build the bunker, and the open drainage ditch became a nightmare for the Green Banner Soldiers.

However, this is only where their nightmare begins.

"Go! Go again! Battalion after battalion rush up! Town after town rush up! I don't believe it, they are made of iron!" Gong Adai looked at the miserable situation of Zhang Xu's two lieutenants, his face was livid, and he gritted his teeth.This should be the fiercest and most useless battle he has fought since entering the customs.After a face-to-face meeting, the opponent killed more than 3000 soldiers and horses under him.

He issued a series of attack orders, and the passionate drums sounded again.At the same time, the artillery shells from the rear artillery team also slammed into the business district, splashing smoke, dust and blood in the streets of the city.Shouts sounded overwhelming, and the tide of Qing soldiers rushed forward carrying ladders, planks, straw bags, and everything else they could find to cross the wide and deep ditch.

They rushed in like a tide. In the lens of the Hongwu Army officer's telescope, there were black flags, armors, weapons, and straw bags filled with soil that were constantly thrown into the deep ditch. They tried to use these together with the ladder planks. Open up a channel.

"Strange! In the past, Nanban's artillery fire was extremely sharp. Once a battle started, it would shatter mountains and rocks. Why is it so sparse now?"

Anjun Wang Yuele, who was watching from a distance, stared at the counterattack artillery fire in the business district with the binoculars in his hand.In any case, he did not believe that the firepower of his artillery team would be sharper and fiercer than that of the Second Young Marshal of the Hongwu Army.

The artillery strength of the Qing army and the Hongwu army can be regarded as their own.If it is heavier and has a higher range than a single artillery, then the 24-pound gun of the Qing army can be proud of the audience.However, if you compare the number of artillery, mobility, performance of ammunition, and technical level of artillery, then the Hongwu Army is a complete blow to the Qing Army.

They are mainly composed of artillery with a bomb weight of less than [-] pounds, which is very suitable for the water network area of ​​​​Shanghai. Whether it is the mobility of transfer, the speed of building artillery fortifications, and the attached ammunition bag made of coarse silk, There are also almost endless shells and gunpowder that can never be consumed, which the Qing army dare not compare.

From Nanjing all the way to shrink the position, to today's Shanghai business district, Li Huabao almost concentrated all the Hongwu army's artillery in the south of the Yangtze River, just waiting for such an opportunity.On the defense line of the Shanghai Business District, if Luck Dehun, Yue Le, and Gong Adai could see it, they would find four cannons scattered in a short frontage of more than ten feet!The shooting circles of each gun overlap and intertwine, there is no dead angle!

Seeing that the straw bags filled with soil in the trench act as piles, and the door panels and ladders are placed on them, the simple passages are completed.The second wave of more than [-] Qing troops swarmed up and once again formed groups around these passages.

"Not good!" Yue Le called out instinctively.He knew that the more people gathered, the better opportunity for the opponent's artillery to exert its firepower.

At this time, on the opposite position, a loud and clear copper whistle pierced the noise on the battlefield.Immediately afterwards, hundreds of hidden artillery roared from their respective emplacements.Close-up shooting, double shot.The muzzle was almost fired at the chest of the Qing soldiers, and anyone with sharp eyes could see the thick smoke and short-lived flames from the muzzle from the firing port of the gun position.

The earth-shattering roar of the staggered artillery firepower network made the ground under their feet tremble.

Amid the deafening artillery salvo, the six-pounder, eight-pounder, Dafolang machine, and twelve-pounder fired together according to their pre-marked shooting circles.

A large puff of grayish-white thick smoke rose from the cannon position, carrying the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke. The entire Shanghai business district was almost enveloped in smoke. From the perspective of the Qing soldiers in the distance, this layer of smoke was like a haze hanging over the Shanghai business district. A mysterious substance, similar to the circle drawn by the gods, the unbreakable and unbreakable Nine Dragons God Fire Cover and the like.

Countless bullets roared and rushed towards the Qing soldiers gathered in front of the trench. No matter who they were, what armor they were wearing, or what weapons they were holding, in front of the shells and bullets, everyone was treated equally and all beings were equal.

In front of Haogou, those Qing troops fell down like rice fields blown by a typhoon.Their bodies were bloody and covered with dense blood holes.

Countless people were hit by the guns and fell into the ditch. Blood, minced meat, corpses, internal organs, and the sewage in the gutter mixed together, giving off a disgusting and weird smell.

As the standard equipment of the first-level troops of the Hongwu Barracks, the six-pound gun has a range of more than 200 paces, the range of the eight-pound gun and Dafulang machine gun is slightly longer, and the range of the [-]-pound gun can reach about [-] paces.It was used to bombard the Qing army, which was swarming with ants in a trench more than ten steps wide, and the effect could not be better.

These artillery adopt the method of approaching and directly aiming at the flat fire, and the guns are enough to penetrate the entire formation of the Green Banner Soldiers.Those Qing soldiers rushed in densely, from one end to the other, no one could escape, and they were opened up alleys of flesh and blood from the beginning to the end!

The sound of the artillery had just faded away, and the guns began to be chambered and reloaded, and the Dafo Lang machine acted as the artillery on duty. At this time, the sound of firecrackers like popping beans was mixed with the explosion of grenades.

Cannons, grenades, firecrackers, the huge sound, flame, smell caused by these firearms and explosives, as well as the killing and wounding among people, the screams of the wounded, and the groans of the dying are all given to the Green Banner soldiers. They had a huge psychological impact.

boom!When another round of artillery shells hit their heads, the Qing soldiers collapsed.They turned around and fled like a tide, and some of them were beaten up, screaming and not knowing where to run, or finding something to cover up.Some people slipped and fell to the ground, and then countless pairs of big feet stepped on them.The people who were stepped on screamed loudly and struggled to get up, but countless pairs of big feet continued to step on them until they were speechless, and their heads, faces and bodies were crushed.

"Fire the arrows!" Gong Adai's thousands of archers shot a wave of arrows at the defeated soldiers who were rushing forward, calming down the minds of these defeated soldiers who were full of flames, smoke and loud noises that brought them a huge impact. Come down, knowing that you can't attack the main formation, otherwise there will be only one death penalty.
