Chapter 93 Nanjing drops the table
Wan Jun looked at the rocket flying towards the Chinese army's position in disbelief. Cui Ziyi said from the sidelines, "Sir, this is not our 'Lihui Type 1' rocket launcher. You see, the rocket body is thicker and much shorter than ours."
Flying closer, Wan Jun looked more carefully. The bodies of these rockets were very exaggerated, with dragon heads and claws carved in lacquer, which looked very spectacular.
However, compared with the rocket launchers of the Chinese Army, their performance is much worse. Some of them lost power and fell to the ground. Some of the rockets had strange flight paths, left and right. Only some of them flew over the Chinese Army's positions. From these rockets,
A dozen short arrows were fired from the dragon's head position.
Cui Ziyi said, "This is just the Ming Dynasty's 'Fire Dragon Out of Water'. It is probably a firearm seized in Jiangnan, and its lethality is limited."
Wan Jun felt relieved. The only thing the Huaxia Army could rely on now was the advantage of firearms. If the Qing army also mastered the Huaxia Army's firearms, then this battle would be difficult to fight.
Suddenly, Wanjun began to worry again. The advantage of weapons was only temporary. Sooner or later, the enemy would learn and imitate firearms. If he wanted to maintain his advantage, he must keep moving forward.
Wan Jun said, "The red cannons of the Qing soldiers have not been dispatched yet."
Cui Ziyi said, "The red cannon is very heavy, and it usually takes about ten days to be transported to the battlefield. Moreover, our army is formed on the mountain, so the cannon's cannons cannot be used effectively."
Wan Jun said, "In that case, let's use our rocket launchers to bombard the enemy camp and let them see what a rocket launcher is!"
When the Qing army at the foot of the mountain released their rockets, they launched another attack. The Qing army connected their shield carts in a row, and actually used the shield carts to pile up a shield wall. A large group of men and horses rushed out from behind the shield wall, and the archers fired a burst of fire.
With a shower of arrows, the swordsmen and axemen rushed toward the Chinese army's position.
After a short and fierce gunfire, the grenadiers took advantage of the position and threw grenades into the dense Qing army from a distance. The pikemen held their shields at an angle and stood in wait.
The explosions of grenades continued one after another, and finally the Qing army rushed into the battle. The pikemen abandoned their shields, raised their guns with both hands, and stabbed at the Qing soldiers.
Relying on personal bravery and courage, he managed to rush to the front of the formation from the hail of bullets. At this time, facing the spear formation, he had almost no power to fight back.
A Qing soldier had to face five or six spears almost at the same time. The spears were thrust out at the same time. Some attacked the head, some stabbed the chest and ribs, and some blocked the body. He was stabbed almost instantly, and then was hit by several spears.
Let's fight to death together.
But soon, the shouts of killing were drowned out, and the rockets launched by the Qing army no longer attracted attention.
A huge whistling sound came from behind the Jinjiling position, and rockets trailing flames and smoke trails shot up into the sky, one after another, seemingly endless.
The rocket launchers filling the sky were more numerous, more stable, more accurate, and more terrifying than those of the Qing army.
Both sides of the hand-to-hand fight stood firm and looked at the sky full of rockets in shock. The slender rocket launchers filled the sky with their trails, flying in arcs towards the Qing army. Compared to the sluggish Qing soldiers, Huaxia
The military position burst into cheers.
The Qing soldiers' position had already seen this strange phenomenon. Li Chengdong, who was standing behind the formation, suddenly felt frightened and saw rocket launchers flying over his head.
He had heard about the power of this kind of firearm. It was said that in Xiangyang and Wuchang, the Chinese army repeatedly attacked the Qing army with a terrifying firearm. This kind of firearm was shaped like a long arrow, sounded like a dragon's roar, exploded when it hit the ground, and was extremely lethal.
Amazing, just never seen before.
Time almost stood still. Finally, the first wave of rocket launchers entered the end of the arc and plunged into the Qing army's camp. A huge explosion sounded loudly.
In the past few days, Duduo had moved the camp three miles north from the river in order to attack. At this time, the densely packed camp became the best target for bombing.
When the huge explosion sounded, Duduo and Azig were rushing out of the tent. Azig had seen rocket launchers in Hanyang, but this was the first time for Duduo. The scene he saw in front of him stopped his legs.
.
In the distance, with the familiar Jinji Ridge and the blue sky as the background, there are rockets trailing flames and smoke trails. The rockets that landed on the ground erupted into huge explosions. The rockets continued to rise, slide, and explode, almost as if they were all over Manchuria.
The end of the world according to the Nishan shaman.
Duduo said in disbelief, "This, this is."
Azig's lips trembled, "This, this is the thieves' rocket launcher."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rocket launcher was pierced less than ten steps away. Huge flames rose into the sky. The three Eight Banners who were closer turned into broken limbs and flew into the sky. The capable Baya guards nearby fell to the ground.
The next blockbuster.
Duduo felt a strong wind blowing over him, and something hit him. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was a forearm.
Wu Sangui and others also ran over at this time and looked at the rocket launchers that were still falling. Wu Sangui said, "My lord, please leave quickly. It's not safe here!"
The Qing soldiers who were blown to the ground screamed miserably, and several frightened Ba Ya rushed over, surrounded by Duduo and others on horseback, and ran wildly toward the southeast of Shipai Town, as if they were escaping from endless purgatory.
Finally, when the explosions were far away, everyone stopped their horses. Shipai Town was half hidden in the fire and smoke. Duduo and Azig were silent and did not say a word. Mongolian general Wu Bashi's calves were still shaking.
I thought in horror, "Oh my God, these Han people are all good at witchcraft!"
After the first wave of intensive rocket bombardment, subsequent rocket launches, although sparse, continued until nightfall. The flame trails of the rocket launchers looked extremely spectacular in the night. Although the explosions were no longer dense, they were chilling.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of the Qing army, the last flame trail fell on the Qing army's camp. After the flame flowers of the rocket explosion bloomed, the camp behind the Qing army had turned into a hell of blood and fire, with screams and moans.
The sound merged into one.
Li Chengdong was hiding in the trench behind the shield car, his face bloodless at this time.
Duduo and other Eight Banners generals could retreat. As the commander-in-chief of the Green Battalion, Li Chengdong could only choose to lead his men forward and hide behind the shield wall of the Qing army's attack when the explosion was the most violent.
Li Chengdong had people dig out the trench that had been filled in recently, and hid in the trench with his men to light a fire and make food, and did not dare to go back.
As the night progressed, the flames of explosions and burning in the distant camp gradually dimmed. Most of those who groaned and screamed had died of their injuries, and the human voices gradually subsided.
But Li Chengdong couldn't sleep. He walked out of the trench and sat with his back under the shield car.
"The wind blowing from the Yangtze River is so cold!"
Unknowingly, it was already October, and the weather had begun to turn cold. Li Chengdong's heart became even colder. What was the reason for the Ming Dynasty's rebellion in the first place?
Li Chengdong sighed. He thought of his old boss Gao Jie and Li Zicheng. Why did he surrender to the Hu people along the way?
Li Chengdong analyzed the current situation and thought carefully about the current situation in his heart, "That's all, let me give it a try!"
The first day of the lunar month has just passed, the night is as deep as water, and most of the night has passed. Wanjun came out of the tent. The October river wind was bone-chilling, blowing people's whole bodies with ice. Only in such a cold environment can people maintain their utmost calmness.
A waning moon is hanging in the sky, and the new moon is facing northwest, like a fully drawn strong bow, aiming toward the northwest.
Not far below the mountains, there was a spark flickering in the darkness. It was a soldier smoking in the leeward fortification. In the distance, a pile of torches that had been burning all night swayed in the night wind, making crisp crackling sounds from time to time.
Wan Jun's heart became increasingly pure and clear, and every little thing he looked at seemed to have a great connection with him.
The battle is like night covering the sky. The Yangtze River and the Dabie Mountains have witnessed the blood of heroes throughout the ages!
Suddenly someone came over, it was the bodyguard of Wanjun. After Li Youfu and Zhao Boyu, this new bodyguard was extremely fanatical about Wanjun. At this time, he whispered, "Your Majesty, there is an envoy from the Qing army coming."
Wan Jun returned to his tent and sat under the lamplight. Wan Jun was not at all curious about the purpose of the Qing envoys. At this point in the war, the Chinese army had already secured victory.
Zhang Wuyang's reinforcements are about to arrive, as well as Gui Dongliang from Wuchang and Shang Zhaoxin from Wushengguan. If any reinforcements from these two directions arrive, the Battle of Anqing will come to an end, and the entire situation in Jiangnan will change drastically.
After a while, the guards escorted a man in black over. The man saw Wan Jun kneeling in the tunnel and said, "This little man is a subordinate of Jiangnan Admiral Li Chengdong. He is here to deliver a message to you."
The guards presented a letter that was obtained from the body search. Wan Jun read it under the light. Many of the words were in traditional Chinese and could only be read roughly. Li Chengdong wanted to surrender to the Chinese army. When he returned to camp, he made an appointment with other troops, and the army would start in three days.
Anti-Qing.
The man in black said, "Today's army's divine fire is extremely powerful. The Eight Banners soldiers have all retreated to the edge of the Yangtze River. There are soldiers from the Green Camp nearby. As long as my masters say hello, they will be able to catch the Qing army by surprise."
Wan Jun had already guessed the intention of the envoy, and smiled upon hearing the words, thinking that with this in his mind, the Qing army could be defeated before reinforcements arrived, and the entire Jiangnan region could be pacified in a snap.
I just suddenly remembered something. It was this Li Chengdong who drove the people into battle a few days ago. It was also this Li Chengdong who led the Jiading Three Massacres. Historically, Li Chengdong conquered Guangzhou and killed 700,000 people. Although he later surrendered to the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty, this man
In the late Ming Dynasty, he was absolutely full of evil.
The notice I gave to the Qing army stated that I would not accept the surrender of the mastermind. What would I do if I accepted the surrender now?
While he was thinking about it, the man in black said, "My lord has one more sentence, and he wants me to ask him clearly."
Wan Jun's thoughts seemed to be that. Sure enough, the man in black went on to say, "A few days ago, my lord said in the article that the civilians were driven into the battle, but the mastermind did not accept the surrender. My lord said that although the mastermind was Azig, the puppet king of Manchuria,
But he was the one who carried it out, will your Excellency pursue this matter?"
Wan Jun thought for a while, smiled and said, "You go back and tell Li Chengdong, of course I blame the Hu people for this matter. If he still has any Han conscience, he will be able to expel the Hu people as soon as possible."
China."
The man in black said, "Thank you, sir. If so, I will go back and deliver the message!"
The guards led the man in black away. Wan Jun put away the smile on his face and said slowly, "The Three Massacres in Jiading were not done by barbarians. Traitors are often more hateful than Japanese! And that Hong Chengchou
,Fan Wencheng.”
When the man in black left, Wan Jun once again stood on the big stone of the chicken head of Jinji Ridge, but something quietly fell to the ground in Wan Jun's heart, and the lights in the night wind were no longer so attractive.
Although the battle of Anqing was disparate in strength, it was not dangerous. Now that Li Chengdong has rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, everything is clear and the general trend has been decided.
