"That's not a human being outside, that's a military field!"
"One of the Eight Banners of the Han Army has twenty acres of good land. If we become disabled, His Highness the Governor will support us for the rest of our lives!"
"If you die in battle, you can exchange fifty acres of good land for your family!"
"There is nothing to worry about!"
"To put it nicely, we must fight for our ideals, we must fight to expel the Tartars and restore China!"
"To be honest, we are fighting for military glory, ourselves and our families."
"There's nothing to say. As long as the Qing captives dare to come up, kill them all!"
"Let them see how powerful we guys are!"
With a clang, an arrow missed the company commander's helmet and bounced away.
The company commander who was giving a passionate speech just now shrank his neck, and then cursed.
"Damn it!"
"These bunch of traitors really deserve to be killed!"
"I will be the first to come up later. You all should follow me. Whoever wants to be a deserter or a coward should go directly to my rear team and kill the front team!"
"If I step back even half a step, you can fucking kill me with a bayonet!"
"Just do it!"
The company commander's face was full of fierceness, and he could do it in one sentence, which he regarded as his mantra.
The determination in the words can be heard by anyone!
Tang Ren said from the side.
"His Royal Highness, Jianguo, will allocate fields to us, provide us with food and clothing, and give our families preferential treatment!"
"Has anyone been so kind to our big-headed soldiers throughout the ages?"
"If a man dies for his confidant, I will sell my life to His Majesty the Supervisor!"
Company Commander Ma Sancai nodded approvingly and said.
"It's great that Ren has come to his senses!"
"If you can make enough contributions in this battle, I will recommend you to supervise His Royal Highness's Imperial Guards."
Ma Sancai was a survivor of the tragedy in San Fernando, and his whole family was killed by the Spaniards.
After working as Zhu Hongyu's personal guard for a period of time, he was transferred to the army as a junior officer.
Then in the war to eliminate the Spanish in Luzon, he relied on his unafraid character and excellent military skills.
From a small soldier, he worked his way up to the position of company commander through meritorious service step by step.
Now that Ma Sancai's military achievements and seniority are sufficient, the reason why he has not been promoted yet is because in the Liberation Army, promotion still needs to go through the procedures of the Fifth Army Governor's Office.
Unless you have great merit, there will generally be no exceptions for promotion before the battle!
When Tang Ren heard this, his face showed joy and excitement.
"Company Commander, I will definitely work hard!"
He tightened his grip on the musket in his hand, and his eyes became very firm and sharp.
Zhu Hongyu's Guards Regiment is actually the original Guards Regiment.
It was just that after Zhu Hongyu ascended the throne to supervise the country, the name was changed to the Imperial Guards.
Other than that, there are no other changes!
However, the Imperial Guards were where the elite of the Liberation Army gathered.
An elite army is formed by selecting those with outstanding military exploits, excellent military skills, and strong ideas from the entire army.
At the critical moment, Zhu Hongyu wants his Guards to fight hard and gnaw at the bones!
It's definitely not a show-off!
In other words, the Imperial Guards are not required unless they are elites, they are not required unless they have outstanding military achievements, and they are not required unless they are loyal!
But looking at it from another perspective, joining the Guards Regiment is about as good as entering with a layer of gold!
If you have military exploits, are elite enough, and are loyal, as long as you are transferred to the army, who will you promote if you don't promote them?
Ma Sancai was promoted quickly. In addition to his military achievements, his qualifications as a personal guard for Zhu Hongyu were also top priority!
Ma Sancai patted Tang Ren on the shoulder, his eyes filled with approval.
At this moment, a piercing siren suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, followed by an exciting charge.
The Qing army pushed up the shield cart and attacked!
When the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters, the heavy armored soldiers of the Qing Army rushed out from behind the shield vehicle.
He swung his sword towards the Liberation Army position in front of him!
And the soldiers of the Liberation Army rushed forward without showing any timidity!
Both sides fight face to face!
The first thing that sounded was not the cry of killing, but the sound of musket shooting.
Threads of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the heavy armor of the Qing army rushing at the front suddenly fell back as if it had been hit by a sledgehammer.
A bloody hole the size of a baby's fist burst out of his chest!
The distance is too close!
If a musket is fired from this distance, it will be useless no matter how much armor is penetrated.
One layer of armor, two layers of armor, or even three layers of armor will inevitably suffer the fate of being broken!
"kill!"
After the face-to-face musket fire, the Liberation Army formed a formation and faced them.
Facing the oncoming Qing army, they launched a counterattack very decisively!
"kill!"
"Kill the prisoners!"
"Drive out the Tartars and restore China!"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"..."
The sharp bayonets are like forests, and the red armor and stomach are like fire.
The two sides fought fiercely together!
The bayonet sees red, the sword sees blood!
Layers of corpses piled up instantly on the battle line!
There’s something for both sides!
Although the Liberation Army had muskets, the muskets were only effective if fired before a close fight.
Next, we still have to watch the hand-to-hand fighting!
In hand-to-hand combat, although the Guangfu Army's bayonet skills were very sharp, it was hard to say which one was better than the Qing Army's heavy step fighting with broadswords and spears.
After all, the Pingnan Prince's vassal soldiers led by Shang Zhixin are all elite soldiers!
They are all professionals when it comes to killing people!
Tang Ren took the lead and killed at the front, the bayonet in his hand already stained with blood.
Facing the attacking Qing army, he was not weak at all!
The bayonet in his hand was held firmly, aiming at the enemy and stabbing it out without hesitation.
There is no defense, only attack!
The fierce fighting style made the Qing army on the opposite side very uncomfortable.
He had no time to defend himself and was stabbed in the abdomen with a bayonet.
However, the heavy armor worn by Qing soldiers is not just for decoration!
The sharp bayonet failed to break through the armor!
The bayonet in Tang Ren's hand pierced the cotton armor very neatly, but was blocked by the layer of chain mail inside.
Tang Ren acted decisively, and as soon as he realized something was wrong, he wanted to withdraw the bayonet.
However, the veterans of the Qing army on the opposite side were also experienced in fighting. How could they miss this opportunity?
The long knife in his hand quickly swept over!
Tang Ren's expression changed, and he subconsciously let go of the musket he was holding tightly, and retreated.
Narrowly escaping a fatal blow from an old soldier of the Qing army!
However, he no longer had weapons in his hands and was unable to cope with the Qing army's next attack.
Just now!
A loud bang suddenly sounded in his ears.
A big hole suddenly appeared in the chest of the veteran soldier of the Qing army in front of him.
Looking back, he saw Ma Sancai, who was holding a blunderbuss that was still smoking and had a fierce expression.
"What a fool, your movements are so awkward, pick up the gun and charge me!"
Before he finished speaking, Ma Sancai saw an old soldier of the Qing army wielding his sword.
Tang Ren no longer hesitated, pulled out his musket from the corpse of the Qing army, shouted to kill and joined the battle group.
"Formation! Formation!"
"Don't fight alone!"
"Heavy armored soldiers go to the front, and musketeers go to the back!"
"..."
The Liberation Army realized that the wave of Qing troops they faced had too many heavily armored soldiers, and the threat of bayonets to the enemy was limited. It was not feasible to fight independently.
Officers began to form formations to kill the enemy!
The heavy armored soldiers stood in front to block the Qing army's heavy infantry, while the musketeers loaded in the back row, using their muskets to cause damage to the Qing army's heavy infantry.
