  The narrow pass and the dense gathering of people were simply unable to withstand more than ten rounds of musketeers firing, and the surviving pass guards completely collapsed.

  Even the supervising team was stunned, and he didn't have the mood to supervise the battle at all.

  This is the crushing of strength, it is impossible to fight at all, no matter how many cannon fodders are sent to the battlefield, it is useless!! things collection, recommendation, points

Chapter [-] The mentality of the old man who hit the game exploded

  "Finally attacked!"

  Standing on the pass, looking at the pass that was beaten into ruins, Qiu Sheng looked inexplicable and let out a sigh of relief.

  The attack on Qingzhou Mansion this time could be said to be the hardest and most tiring battle he had ever fought, although the casualties of his soldiers were not large, not even a hundred.

  But the will of the defenders to resist is too tenacious and desperate! Although it seems that the Third Army has suffered very little loss of troops, in fact, this is all the result of spending money. With the size of the town, thousands of artillery shells were smashed! A dozen rounds of artillery salvos were fired! Counting the wasted gunpowder, artillery shells, and the life of the artillery barrels, this consumption is really terrible.

  And Weihaiwei's artillery, all of which are made of steel, steel cannons have the advantage of low cost compared to copper cannons, but they also have a disadvantage that cannot be ignored.

  That is, the steel column artillery is abolished, that is, it is really abolished, and it cannot be the same as the copper cast artillery. After it is scrapped, it can be recast.

  Therefore, the loss of life of the barrel of the steel column artillery is actually consuming a lot of silver dollars! And these are only the loss of materials, not counting the loss of so many materials, how much transportation power needs to be consumed on the road! In short, this battle, On the surface, it seems that the resistance of the Qingzhou mansion guards did not cause any harm to the Weihai guards.

  In fact, it still caused the Weihai Guards to lose a lot of silver dollars, the material loss increased sharply, and the pressure on logistics supply increased greatly.

  This is in disguise delaying the marching speed of the main force of the Third Army! Moreover, the captured pass needs to be occupied by garrisoned troops. The location is so important that it cannot be discarded, and troops must be sent to guard it.

  And the pass that has been smashed into ruins and razed to the ground needs to be cleaned up and rebuilt! This will consume a lot of manpower and material resources! This kind of hidden loss is still very large, and there is no certain force in the background, even if it is captured, then It can't be defended! It's impossible to send troops to garrison the ruins! Although Weihaiwei has stored strategic materials for several months, and has prepared the resources for rebuilding the town early, it is not a big deal to build one more pass.

  But this unplanned loss of materials still made Qiu Sheng very unhappy! He decided that when Qingzhou Fucheng was conquered, one of those country gentry, wealthy businessmen and officials would be counted as one, and they would all be looting their families and exterminating their families! He dared to make him unhappy, he would Let the descendants of these people be unhappy! "Quickly pass, before it gets dark today, I will let the army kill the city of Qingzhou Fucheng!"

  Qiu Sheng looked at the army passing through the pass below, and immediately urged.

  The east gate of Qingzhou Prefecture City was opened, and dozens of miles ahead were all plains with a horse and a river. Knowing that the Weihai Guards had five thousand cavalry, the Qingzhou Prefecture army did not dare to go out to the city to fight in the field.

  Therefore, from here to the Qingzhou City, there is no obstacle in front of the Third Army! Under the urging of Qiu Sheng, the commander of the Third Army, they accelerated through the pass, and the accompanying tens of thousands of farmers began to go crazy with military shovels. 's work.

  Clean up the rubble, rebuild the pass, and build the road at the same time.

  This is the only way to Qingzhou Fucheng. Now that the Third Army is more and more dependent on logistics supplies, the road must be repaired.

  Let's not talk about cement roads, but the roads must be flat and dry.

  Otherwise, once it rains, the road will become muddy, and the logistics supply will not be able to keep up, then it will be a big trouble.

  The reason why the Weihai Guards dispatch large-scale farmers every time they go out is to protect the logistics supply line! The front-line army may not be strong in combat, but the logistics transportation line must be strong in combat! This is also Lin Feng's request for his army. He knows too well that in the age of guns and artillery, the importance of logistical supplies

  Sex! It can be said that the army is dispatched, and the real battle on the front line is probably less than one-third.

  However, maintaining the logistical supply line requires a full two-thirds of the manpower! Although the main force of the Third Army to attack Qingzhou Prefecture City has more than [-] elite soldiers, in fact, only two of them are really fighting on the front line. About ten thousand people.

  The remaining more than [-] elite soldiers need to serve as the guard troops of the logistics supply line, and must guard the safety of the logistics supply line.

  Qingzhou City.

  "Master Zhifu is not good, not good!"

  "The stronghold of the pass in the east was all breached by the pirate army of Weihaiwei. The number of the thieves' artillery is too large, and the power is too fierce! Their muskets are even more powerful weapons for killing. !"

  "Heavy casualties! Thousands of casualties, and thousands of people guarding the pass. After a rout, only a few hundred people escaped, and the entire army is almost destroyed!"

  "It's not the brothers who don't work hard, the brothers on the front line, which one is not screaming and charging to kill the enemy and behead the enemy, but there is no way, the bandit army is really too fierce, too strong!!"

  The officer of the supervising team, who was defeated in the pass and fled back to Qingzhou Fucheng, was very depressed and reported that he was dejected.

  In the hall in front of him, there were impressively full of big-headed people, real gentlemen, in the prefecture of Qingzhou, the treasure house.

  "Damn it! Isn't there a way to stop them!"

  When the prefect of Qingzhou heard this, he immediately slapped the table with anger.

  In just a few days, he has sent to the front-line young men, and they have five or six, ten thousand! However, these five or six, ten thousand young men have been lost in just a few days! Even more terrifying Yes, even so, it did not stop the offensive of the Weihai Guards! If you include the Shandong Dusifu Army who had been on the defensive line before, they lost [-] to [-] people in just a few days! What a terrifying number! Eighty-nine thousand people, it only took a few days to block the Weihai Guards, and the whole army was destroyed! Thinking of this, not only the prefect of Qingzhou, but all the gentlemen present exploded in their minds! "Damn it! The Weihai pirate army, why are they so powerful!!"

  "It's all human, why are these thieves not as strong as human beings!!"

  "Damn, is the power of guns and artillery really that strong!"

  "Everyone said, should we equip the soldiers below with muskets and artillery! If we don't equip them with muskets and artillery, this battle will be impossible at all!"

  "Shut up, it's so easy to say! If we don't talk about it, where are we going to buy guns and artillery that can be equipped with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, even if we can buy them, we won't be able to spend so much money! !"

  "Yes, yes, muskets and artillery are simply not something that anyone can afford and equip!"

  "In my opinion, the most urgent task at the moment is to recruit young men from all over the city, all armed and sent to the city wall to defend the city of Qingzhou! At the same time, everyone will work together to spread the word about the situation of the Weihai Guard Bandit Army to the world, so that the gentry of the world can all Recognize the true face of the Weihai Guards, everyone unites, and completely suppress it!!"

  "Yes, yes, this Weihai pirate army is too terrifying, they are going to completely destroy our old lives! It must be suppressed, severely suppressed!"

  "Don't worry, the letter asking for help has already been spread, and the most important thing for us now is to defend the Qingzhou City!!"

  ""

  All the country gentry, wealthy businessmen, officials and gentlemen have been talking about it. In just a few days, they lost [-] to [-] people. The Weihai Guards have already beaten them all with a mental explosion!

Chapter [-]: Soldiers approach Qingzhou House

  "STOP STOP!!"

  The messy voice almost exploded the head of the prefect of Qingzhou, and he had to shout to stop these country gentry and wealthy businessmen.

  To be honest, this period of time has been the most powerful moment since he became the prefect of Qingzhou.

  The wealthy and wealthy squires, businessmen and even officials in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture supported him, almost desperately supporting him regardless of the cost! Giving money and resources and providing supplies made him feel for the first time that, as the prefect of Qingzhou, he could control so many resources. !Also let him immerse himself in this bad environment for a while.

  But who knows, the Weihaiwei Third Army, like a cold and ruthless cold wind, blows fiercely, and wakes him from this sweet dream.

  When he woke up, he suddenly realized that in just a few days, the army of [-] to [-] people was gone! It's gone!! This is [-] to [-] people, ah! , did not kill so fast! What frightened him even more was that although all of these [-] to [-] people were young and strong, they were also armed young men! , the silver tael bounty, it can be said that there is no shortage of everything.

  The combat power that broke out was almost comparable to the elite soldiers he knew! Eighty-nine thousand, elite soldiers! In just a few days, they were gone! The Qingzhou prefect couldn't believe the facts he heard, and it made him even more so. What he was terrified of was that the wealthy squires and businessmen of the Qingzhou Prefecture around him didn't seem to think that it was such a big fuss that the army was gone.

  Obviously, they have more crazy plans in mind! "Everyone took out all the treasures in their homes, this time, at all costs, all the soldiers and civilians in the city, men, women, children and children, will all go to the front line with me, and everyone will die together! !"

  "I can't believe it outside of me, Weihai Guards, under this circumstance, they can even break through my Qingzhou city!!"

  After the largest landowner of Qingzhou Mansion, who was also a high-ranking official in the imperial court, Mr. Xu, who returned to his hometown to retire, roared fiercely in his heart.

  As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar! The Qingzhou prefect's call to stop the action was of no use.

  When Qingzhou Fucheng was in a fatal crisis, the wealthy and wealthy countrymen and even officials in the whole city were more willing to trust the most famous and prestigious Master Xu.

  "The entire city's military and civilians, regardless of gender, age, or child, go to the front line together, isn't it too cruel?"

  A wealthy businessman stood up, a little unbearable.

  Although the merchants are already treacherous and ruthless, they are known for their ruthlessness.

  But in fact, compared with these big landowners and the squires, the merchants are as pure as the little white sheep.

  These squires and big landlords are the real ruthless people! Immediately, a squire stood up and retorted: "No, no, every man is responsible for defending the city! This is a matter of life and death for the soldiers and civilians in my Qingzhou Fucheng. The entire city's military and civilians naturally have the responsibility and obligation to defend the city!"

  As soon as this remark came out, all the country gentlemen echoed and agreed.

  "That's right, Qingzhou Fucheng is not... ours, but the city's military and civilians!"

  "We pay for supplies, they don't have the money to kill people, so it's fair!"

  "As long as we explain the truth clearly, the city's military and people will agree with it, and they will be willing to stand up and defend the city!"

  "Yes, if there are people who don't dare to give their lives to stand, isn't that someone who is no different from a wolf-hearted and dog-hearted person, and should send a team of supervisors to force them to the front line!"

  "Well said! Now that Weihai is about to kill my Qingzhou city, we must do our best to defend the city, and we must not let the Weihai pirate army come in."

  ""

  The Qingzhou prefect on the side was stunned. If he didn't know the inside story, he knew that these people were afraid that the Weihai Guards would raid their homes and exterminate their families.

  I'm afraid he really will

  He really thinks that these people are upright and arrogant, they regard death as their home, and they know the great truth of family and country! He finally understands how crazy the counterattack of those whose interests have been damaged is! Even if it is death, He will also drag a group of people to hell together! The Qingzhou prefect can see clearly, that is because he is not from the Qingzhou Prefecture. Even if he died in the Qingzhou Prefecture, it would not cause much damage to his family. Not to hurt his family.

  But he is very clear in his heart that if someone threatens him, threatens the interests of the entire family, not only interests, but also removes the foundation of his family, harming him and the descendants of the entire family.

  Then he will probably be as crazy as the rich and wealthy squires of Qingzhou Mansion! Weihaiwei territory, all the land is reverted to the lord's mansion, and there are not one out of ten rich and wealthy squires. This is really killing them. You can't do it if you don't go crazy! Weihaiwei also completely hit his sore foot! For them, even if it is a Manchu Tartar, it is not as bad as Weihaiwei! They can't touch their foundation! But Weihaiwei wants to uproot them, not only they will fall, but their entire family and their descendants will fall for eighteen generations! How can this be done! Revolt! Resist desperately!! This It is also the firm determination of all the squires and wealthy businessmen and officials in Qingzhou Prefecture after they recognized the true face of Weihaiwei! In fact, Lin Feng himself knew very well that in the eyes of the squires and wealthy businessmen and officials in Daming, it was really heretical! The heresy that will never cause future troubles! Especially after Weihaiwei's development is getting better and better, its forces are getting stronger and stronger, and its influence is getting bigger and bigger.

  If you want to keep a low profile, you can't keep a low profile! Even if you want to hide, you can't hide it! This is destined to embark on a road of becoming an enemy of the world! This is why Lin Feng postponed for half a year until the Dashun Army was completely After destroying the nearly [-] elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, he was willing to go to the army, and the reason why he wanted to occupy the whole territory of Shandong.

  Because if the attack is launched in advance, Weihaiwei will definitely attract the attention of the whole world. At that time, the Dashun Army and the Daming Army, under the urging of these village gentry and wealthy businessmen and officials, may join forces to deal with him.

  Even the Manchu Tartars, who have been waiting for the opportunity outside the customs, will join in.

  Weihaiwei, which has not developed, will definitely not be able to stop the siege of so many forces.

  Moreover, Lin Feng did not dare to underestimate the strength of the wealthy, wealthy, businessmen and officials of Daming! Once these people become crazy, it is possible to mobilize an army of tens of millions or even tens of millions! Once these people are crazy, don't talk to them rationally! They are the most irrational people, they are full of thoughts, and they are all interests! For the sake of interests, there is nothing they dare not do! But now, the rich, businessmen and officials of Qingzhou Prefecture have gone crazy! All the military and civilians were mobilized, organized in batches, and transferred to the frontline battlefield

  Outside Qingzhou Prefecture.

  The main force of the Third Army led by Qiu Shengsuo, hurrying and rushing, finally came to the city of Qingzhou City. The army dispersed and surrounded the four walls of Qingzhou City.

  In the direction of the east gate of the city, the artillery of the entire main force was mobilized. Together with the artillery guards, seventy-five large and small artillery pieces were spread out. The dark and faint artillery pieces were aimed at the east gate city wall of Qingzhou Fucheng.

  "Hey! Those masters in Qingzhou Fucheng are crazy!"

  Qiu Sheng looked at the city wall with the binoculars, and suddenly heaved a sigh of air! I saw that the city wall was actually full of people dressed as ordinary people. The posture of coexisting and dying with Qingzhou Fucheng.

  "Crazy, crazy, really crazy!!"

  Qiu Sheng put down his binoculars and shook his head vigorously. Even though he was murderous, he couldn't help but admire the ruthlessness of the squires, wealthy businessmen and officials in Qingzhou Fucheng.

  The army and the people of the whole city guarded the city together. This is not so cruel to the Manchu and Qing Tartars! Feilu reminds you: the three things to read: collect, recommend, and divide

Chapter [-] Ten days, occupy the whole territory of Qingzhou Prefecture

  Not only was Qiu Sheng gasping for air, the staff around him were all "hissing" when they saw this scene.

  of the cold air.

  "It's really ruthless!!"

  The staff members were stunned.
