If we include the civilians, even 100,000 people might not be able to stop it!
If Shang Kexi was thicker-skinned, he could boast that he had an army of 200,000!
Before Zhu Hongyu traveled through time, he had watched many ancient war movies.
He could only say that the pressure that tens of thousands of troops can bring to people in reality cannot be captured by a camera at all.
It’s not just a matter of not enough extras!
What's more, it's the military's kind of chilling and killing spirit that ordinary people can't imitate.
Looking at the dark Qing army at the end of his sight, Zhu Hongyu just said with a sigh.
"If we kill the 40,000 people Shang Kexi has on hand, it will probably make the Qing court suffer a lot, right?"
Although it was a question, he already had the answer in his mind.
Because he learned from Li Dingguo that Wu Sangui had dissatisfaction with the Qing court.
In addition, Geng Jingzhong is a well-known fence-sitter!
You know, before the San Francisco Rebellion, the person who danced the most was not the most powerful Wu Sangui, but Geng Jingzhong.
Wu Sangui is a patient with late-stage maniaphobia and is hopeless.
If I hadn't been forced into a hurry, I wouldn't have dared to rebel at all.
Geng Jingzhong, however, was one of those who was particularly restless. Long before the San Francisco Rebellion broke out, he had second thoughts about the Qing court.
Even at this time, among the people in Fujian, there was already a prophecy that "the emperor will be separated from his ears".
If you add up the fire in your ears, wouldn’t that be Geng?!
Anyone with a discerning eye knows what’s going on!
This shows how serious Geng Jingzhong is!
Among the three vassals, only Shang Kexi was an old slave who was truly loyal to the Manchus.
Historically, after the San Francisco Rebellion broke out, Shang Kexi even led troops to fight for the Qing court and Wu Sangui to show his loyalty.
Even if his son Shang Zhixin had not imprisoned him later and raised a flag to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, the Rebellion of the Three Feudatories would probably have been the Rebellion of the Two Feudatories.
Therefore, Zhu Hongyu can conclude that as long as Shang Kexi dies, the Qing court's rule in the south will be greatly shaken.
It can even be said that the most important force of the Qing court in the south, the San Francisco system, has almost been abolished!
When the time comes, maybe Zhu Hongyu can instigate the San Francisco Rebellion to break out in advance.
Wu Sangui, a patient with advanced maniaphobia, is probably not easy to mobilize. Even if Wu Sangui now has dissatisfaction with the Qing court, the best he can do is sit on the fence and wait and watch.
It's unlikely that he would raise the flag directly!
But instigating the restless Geng Jingzhong to rebel against the Qing Dynasty is probably not a problem...
But the premise of all this is that Zhu Hongyu fought the battle in front of him well and took a gratifying head.
…
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dull sound of war drums resounded throughout the battlefield. The Qing army camped outside Daze Town and faced off against the Ming army inside the town.
On the periphery of the battlefield, the Qing army's cavalry galloped back and forth, blocking the entire battlefield.
The Ming army did not wait for the Qing army to prepare and then passively defend, but took the initiative to launch an attack.
The sound of war drums resounded across the wilderness, and the Ming army formed a formation outside Daze Town, divided into three armies: left, center and right, and advanced.
The Qing army responded quickly!
Shang Kexi ordered the Qing troops to march out to fight, with the Green Camp at the front and the Eight Banners behind.
The cavalry blocked the battlefield and was ready to provide support to the infantry.
What followed was the roar of heavy artillery!
The Ming army's artillery opened fire, and field artillery pieces were pushed to the front of the array, aiming at the Qing army's array with a roar.
Typical bayonet-on-cannon tactic!
The Ming army's artillery moved in and opened fire, creating gaps in the Qing army's array.
The shells flew across the sky, leaving broken limbs and blood everywhere in their path.
The uniforms worn by the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army appeared vulnerable to the shells blasted by artillery.
The musketeers of the Ming army marched in formation, with neat steps.
Thousands of people marched in unison to the chants, and the movement was quite shocking.
The murderous aura and mighty military power that came towards them made the Green Camp of the Qing army in front of them subconsciously show their timidity.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
The sound of clothing rubbing together.
Tread! Tread!
The sound of footsteps on the ground.
Different voices mixed together, murderous.
Each musket was leveled, the muzzle pointed forward, and the sharp bayonet shone with a cold light.
The arrays of the two sides were less than 200 meters apart, and the Ming army's musketeers began to fire volleys.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots like popping beans rang out one after another, and thick smoke rose from the battlefield.
Three whole rounds of neat volleys of guns, rows of lead shot at the Qing army in front of them!
Puff! Puff!
Even if they were two hundred meters apart, the hit rate and lethality of the Ming army's volleys were still astonishing.
The green soldiers of the Qing army in the front row fell to the ground in rows like cutting wheat.
The generals of the Qing army looked at the scene on the front line, with obvious surprise on their faces, and they all spoke one after another.
"What exactly is going on?!"
"How did the Ming thief's musket shoot so far? That's almost two hundred steps!"
"Damn it, there's something wrong with the gun!"
"..."
Shang Kexi's face also darkened. Although he had long known that the Ming thief's firearms were sharp, he never thought that the Ming thief's musket could have a killing effect from such a distance.
"Send an order to the artillery and ask them to target the Ming thief's musketeers and give me a hard beating!"
The Qing army's artillery also began to fire, and the roar of the artillery continued.
Huge smoke rose from the battlefield, and huge artillery shells drew arcs in the air and shot towards the Ming army's array.
The cannonball landed, rolled and rotated, releasing its own kinetic energy.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The artillery shells made several holes in the Ming army's array, turning every Ming army soldier into a stump.
However, despite being bombarded, the Ming army's array was not disordered at all.
The well-trained soldiers of the Guards Brigade still marched in an orderly manner according to the chants and drums.
During the advance, constantly reload the musket in your hand, and then shoot scatteredly.
Compared with the salvo just now, the momentum of the scattered shooting was obviously greatly reduced.
However, the excellent rate of fire that can be exerted by scattering, coupled with the accuracy of the rifled gun, the lethality is quite considerable.
Amidst the crackling gunfire, large swaths of the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army fell to the ground.
There was some commotion in the Qing army's array, which was in sharp contrast to the strict order of the Ming army's array when it was bombarded.
The Qing army's artillery opened fire, revealing its position!
The artillery of the Ming army began to adjust its shooting, and changed the shells from solid shot shells to blooming shells.
Then the target was changed from the Qing army's infantry to the Qing army's artillery.
Compared with inflicting damage to the Qing army's green soldiers in front, knocking out the Qing army's artillery is obviously more expensive.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Violent artillery fire continued, and artillery shells landed very accurately towards the Qing army's artillery positions.
The cylindrical pointed flower bomb fell to the ground and was deeply embedded in the soil. The fuse burned out and the gunpowder in the bomb was ignited.
Boom!
The fire was mixed with gunpowder smoke, and the shock wave enveloped the fragments, tearing everything around into pieces.
