Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wang Zhi Lei was furious. As a subordinate, Dong Guo could only listen obediently. Who told him to do something wrong?

    Wang Zhi scolded us for a long time, and finally said: "Dong Guo, no matter what you do, if you still let me see the Tatars slaughtering our infantry so unscrupulously, I will beat you to the end and be a firebrand for the rest of my life."  military!"

    When things got to this point, Dong Guo had nothing to say. He just gritted his teeth and said, "Please rest assured, sir. If I can't get rid of those sons of bitches anymore, I will come to see you!"

    Wang Zhi snorted noncommittally, "I hope you can do it. Now go and take command."

    "yes!"

    At this time, Dong Guo had been forced into a corner, and Wang Zhi was watching eagerly behind him. If the next few rounds of shelling could not destroy the Qing army's artillery, and they were allowed to wreak havoc as before, his artillery camp would be in danger.  The commander-in-chief will probably be kicked off immediately.

    Dong Guo ran to a gun emplacement in person, his livid face full of gloom, and shouted to the nearby gunners: "Brothers, hurry up and adjust your position. If it still misses like the round of shelling just now, let's not  It¡¯s time to play with cannons. Hurry up and go home to nurse the kids. Mr. Wang is watching us from behind. If we can¡¯t destroy the Tatar artillery in one fell swoop, our infantry brothers will face an additional threat. Therefore, who will be the winner this round?  If he misses again, I want him to look good, do you understand?"

    "Yes!" The gunners all saw the situation where the infantry in front were bombarded by the Qing army just now. They also understood the seriousness of the matter, so they all loudly agreed to speed up.  Each artillery piece was also readjusted by the aimers, and powder packets and shells were stuffed into the barrels.

    After a while, a gunner came to report: "Reporting to your lord, the artillery camp is ready, please launch!"

    Dong Guo stood behind the artillery position and shouted angrily: "Okay, everyone listen to my command, target. Tatar artillery position, release!"

    ¡°Boom, boom, boom¡­¡±

    As the muzzles of the artillery spewed out tongues of flame, projectiles were propelled by gunpowder and flew forward at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye

    And at the same time.  On the artillery position of the Qing army, Kong Youde was also happy with the results of the battle just now, although the shelling just now did not cause any damage to the artillery camp position of the Dahua army.  But this did not prevent him from being praised by Huang Taiji, because the more than ten projectiles that fell into the infantry of the Dahua Army were seen by both sides.

    Just now Huang Taiji specially sent someone to praise Kong Youde for this purpose, and asked Kong Youde to continue his efforts to inflict a greater blow to the Dahua Army.

    Kong Youde walked back and forth with a solemn expression, and kept cheering: "Brothers, hurry up. After loading the gunpowder and lead bullets, launch them quickly. We want to let the Chinese army know the power of our Han army flag! The emperor said  Well, when this battle is over, the emperor will definitely reward everyone, at least ten taels of silver per person. By then everyone will be enjoying the food, brothers, hurry up and work harder!"

    Just when Kong Youde was talking so much that he was spitting, there was another familiar roar in the distance, followed by another burst of whistling sound that reached his ears.

    The artillery positions on both sides are about 700 steps apart.  It took at least ten seconds for the projectiles to fly over, so when Kong Youde looked up, he saw another group of small black dots flying over.

    ¡°Bombardment!¡± A shrill shout rang out from behind Kong Youde.

    "Find a place to hide!"

    I don¡¯t know who shouted loudly from the side. The gunners looked for places to hide, and the entire position immediately became a mess again.

    Although when viewed with the naked eye, those projectiles, which are just small black dots to the naked eye, seem to be moving slowly in the air and not at all fast.  But if you really think so, you are wrong. These projectiles will fly towards the target at an unexpected speed.

    "bump"

    A heavy sound of steel hitting the ground reached Kong Youde's ears. When he saw it, Kong Youde was almost scared out of his wits. A black projectile as big as a sand bowl fell to the ground more than ten steps away from Kong Youde.  After a few hard bounces, it quickly rolled towards Kong Youde's place, and there was still a chirping green smoke in one place.

    "No, it's a bomb!"

    Seeing such a scene, even though Kong Youdeping often boasted about his bravery, he could not help but be so scared that he almost peed his pants. When he wanted to run away, he found that his legs were so scared that he could not exert any strength.

    "Quick, protect the prince!"

    The four soldiers around Kong Youde were quite competent. Upon seeing this, they all rushed over to drag Kong Youde away.  But before they could drag Kong Youde a few steps, someoneA loud noise was heard behind them, and the shell exploded less than five steps behind them.

    The huge shock wave knocked them all to the ground. Kong Youde, who was protected by four soldiers, only felt a huge impact coming from behind, and then he was like a small sampan hit by a huge wave.  He was blown to the ground and almost fainted.

    "Buzzing"

    When Kong Youde slowly opened his eyes, he felt a buzzing noise echoing in his ears, the surroundings were chaotic, and there were bursts of explosions not far away from time to time.

    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up, wake up quickly!"

    A soldier was shaking his body desperately. Kong Youde took a deep breath and struggled to stand up, feeling a tightness in his chest.  He weakly asked in a low voice: "Xiao An, what are our losses?"

    The soldier who helped him up said in a tearful tone: "Your Majesty, this round of shelling by the Chinese army was too severe. The boss and others were all killed, and dozens of our general cannons were destroyed. Brothers suffered heavy losses.  "The soldier said while crying profusely.

    Kong Youde turned around and saw the corpses of several soldiers lying around. Blood was flowing out from their backs. They were obviously hit by shrapnel flying everywhere. Kong Youde frowned and reprimanded: "Okay,  Those of us who have been deprived of life have known the fate of Zhanti since the day we joined the army. Now that Lao Zhao and the others are dead, what is there to cry about? When we go back, we will bury them well and provide compensation to their families.  Now. Now hurry up and pass my king¡¯s order. All the artillery fire starts to return fire. If we don¡¯t destroy them all, we will all die here!¡±

    At this time, Kong Youde finally woke up. Before the war, he was still debating whether to listen to Dorgon's words and reserve his strength for the opponent. He was really naive. If he didn't try his best, the artillery battalion he had worked so hard to train today would be gone.  I'm going to be beaten up.

    "Fight back, fight back for me!" Kong Youde screamed crazily

    At the same time, Dorgon, who had been accompanying Huang Taiji, was also secretly complaining. His expression became serious when he saw that he was desperately bombarding the artillery battalion of the Han Army under Kong Youde's command like an angry rooster today.  stand up.

    It seems that the situation is wrong. The artillery fire of the Chinese Army is even more powerful than what he saw yesterday. Kong Youde is no match for him at all.

    Not only Dorgon, but also Huang Taiji's expression became serious. The place where Huang Taiji and others were standing was about two hundred steps away from Kong Youde. Naturally, they could clearly see what was happening on Kong Youde's artillery position.  The billowing black smoke and the sound of crying everywhere could still be faintly transmitted to their ears.

    At this time, Huang Taiji finally understood that Kong Youde's artillery battalion was still far behind the Chinese army. If he did not try his best, he might be defeated.

    We must not continue like this. Thinking of this, Huang Taiji clenched his fists tightly and said in a deep voice: "Come here, tell me my decree. I ordered Kong Youde to send out all the gunmen. Dorgon and Duoduo, you are doing this."  White flags and white flags must also be placed on the flanks to cover them, and they must disrupt the formation of the Great Chinese Army!"

    Dorgon was startled for a moment, but then he lowered his head and said, "Hey! My brother, get down right now!"

    After saying that, he pulled Duduo who wanted to talk and went down immediately.

    Duduo waited until he was far away before he said eagerly: "Brother Fourteen, we really have to lead the way for him. You have also seen that the artillery fire of the Great Chinese Army is not ordinary. If our two flags really charge forward,  The casualties will certainly not be small.¡±

    Dorgon stopped his steps and whispered: "Then what do you want? If you don't go, he has the right to behead us on the spot for disrespecting orders. Even if the father is reborn, he will not be able to say anything.  But he doesn¡¯t want us to die in vain. You have to remember that when the fight breaks out later, we must not rush too far forward. Let those slaves of the Han Army Banner do the death work. As long as the Chinese army does not attack us,  Don't provoke them. Even if you want to fight, you can't fight with all your strength, do you understand?"

    Duduo nodded, "Brother Fourteen, I listen to you. But what should we do if the emperor investigates us after the war?"

    Dorgon sneered and said: "What else can we do? Do you think that after this battle is over, the Great China Army will let our good fourth brother return to Shengjing alive?"

    "What? Brother Fourteen, you" Duduo couldn't help but screamed, with a look of astonishment on his face

    After the large formation of the Chinese army, Wang Zhi raised his telescope and kept paying attention to the movements of the Qing soldiers in front. When most of his Qing army's artillery was destroyed, there were tens of thousands of Qing infantry and two Qing soldiers wearing blue armor.  As tens of thousands of cavalrymen slowly approached their own military formation, a sneer appeared on the corner of their mouths.

    "TheseTatars, seeing that their artillery is no match for me, are they going to let those infantry die?  In this case, let me show you the power of my Dahua infantry. Come here, order Wei Jiang to attack immediately!  "
