The mud was flying and the meat was splashed everywhere.
The smell of blood is tangy!
Many surviving Qing gunners were even buried by a large amount of soil.
Qian Sizhuang struggled to get out from under the soil. His whole body, hair, face, clothes, and collar were covered with still warm soil.
His eyes stared blankly ahead, and the violent buzzing in his ears continued. He felt as if everything in front of him was shaking.
He collapsed on the ground, and blood began to seep out of his ear holes!
"ah!"
"Ahhh!"
"..."
Qian Sizhuang opened his mouth and shouted one after another, but he could not hear any sound.
Because, in the violent explosion just now, his eardrums were shattered.
Struggling to get up, he pressed his hands on the soft soil beside him, trying to prop himself up.
But there was no point of contact in the soft soil, and his palm suddenly sank in.
And he seemed to have touched something, so he fumbled and took it out to take a look, but in an instant he started to curse.
"Fuck you!"
What appeared in his hand was a severed foot.
The flooded skin and flesh, the white stubble of bones, are extremely eerie.
Qian Sizhuang threw away the severed leg in his hand and gasped for breath, his eyes full of fear.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"
"I've said that you can't force the medicine to be installed, you have to install it, you have to install it, now it's okay!"
"Blow it up! They're all dead, they're all fucking dead!"
"..."
At the same time, as the Ming army's artillery bombardment continued, the Qing army became more and more unstoppable.
Some Qing troops began to throw away their weapons and turned around, trying to escape and withdraw from the battlefield.
However, what greeted them was not new life, but the Eight Banners soldiers and Mongolian cavalry waiting in the rear to supervise the battle.
These fleeing Qing troops had just withdrawn from the fort when they encountered a group of cavalry supervising the battle.
The cavalry roared past, arrows flew, the horses galloped, and the scimitars were sharp!
In just an instant, these defeated Qing troops were dispersed by the cavalry supervising the battle.
The machete slit the throat and blood spurted out!
The arrow pierced the chest and pinned the man to the ground. He was not dead for a while, and the screams were endless.
The cavalry wielded spears, and the moment they rushed past, they penetrated several deserters like skewers of candied haws.
In just the blink of an eye, these deserters were all killed.
Niu Lu, the leader of the Qing army who was responsible for supervising the battle, held up a freshly chopped off human head that was still dripping with blood, and roared.
"Anyone who retreats without permission will be killed!"
"Anyone who retreats without permission will be killed!"
"..."
Hysterical roars and brutal killings made the Qing army's defeated troops dare not retreat any further.
Under the pressure of the sword, the defeated soldiers were forced to turn around and return to the fort, continuing to withstand the heavy artillery fire of the Ming Dynasty.
It’s miserable!
If there was no one to supervise the battle, the defenders of Dagukou Fort would probably have fled long ago or simply surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming army's artillery bombardment was really too fierce, and the Qing army really couldn't hold on to the overwhelming artillery fire.
The roar of heavy artillery continues!
The Ming army's landing force gradually approached the fort, and the Ming soldiers on the landing craft began to prepare to charge towards the fort.
The piercing sound of the charge horn resounded throughout the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Ming army waded into the water and rushed towards the beach.
There were also many Ming army rifle shooters standing on the landing craft, aiming in the direction of the beach to provide fire cover for their own attacking troops.
The crackling gunfire sounded one after another!
The Ming army's offensive troops relied on the firepower of rifled guns to suppress and continuously charged forward.
The Qing defenders in the trenches kept throwing arrows one after another!
For a time, the arrow rain was extremely dense!
Although the protective effect of the rattan armor on the Ming army's landing troops was not as good as that of iron armor, it could still be used to protect some projectile arrows.
The thrown arrow itself does not have much lethality!
Many Ming soldiers had several arrows stuck in their bodies and still charged forward.
However, in this process, many Ming soldiers were also unlucky and fell in the charge.
Or he was shot in the throat, face and other vital parts, and died tragically on the spot.
Or they were pierced by arrows in their limbs, lying on the ground screaming and waiting for rescue.
The crackling gunfire sounded one after another, and lead bullets were continuously fired towards the Qing army on the beach.
Some Qing troops emerged from behind the trenches, bows and arrows fired at the Ming troops.
But what greeted them was lead bullets!
As soon as a Qing soldier poked his head out from behind the trench, he was hit in the head by a lead bullet.
There was a loud bang and his head exploded!
Blood mixed with brains sprayed everywhere.
The shooting accuracy of the rifled gun is fully demonstrated!
"Grenadier!"
"Throw a grenade!!"
With a shout, the grenadiers in the attacking Ming army blocked the impact of the grenades and threw the grenades towards the Qing army trenches ahead.
From a distance of thirty to twenty meters, the grenade was thrown into the Qing army's trench without mercy.
The next moment!
Rumbling explosions resounded in the trenches of the Qing army, and fire was mixed with soil, as well as many broken limbs and broken arms, splashing everywhere.
The screams and wails that had been faintly audible in the trenches suddenly stopped!
The next moment, the landing troops of the Ming Army jumped straight into the trenches with their bayonets pointed, and killed the remnants of the Qing Army who had managed to survive.
Those Qing defenders who survived were stunned by the bombing, and they did not dare to resist the Ming offensive troops that rushed forward.
They all raised their hands to express surrender!
The few who resisted were killed in the trenches by bayonets in the blink of an eye.
The body just fell to the ground, blood flowing!
The large forces of the Ming Army followed suit and began to arrange advance bases in the trenches of the Qing Army.
Small-caliber light artillery was brought up one after another, and the gunners carried engineering shovels and quickly arranged the gun positions.
Boom! Boom!
The small-caliber curved-firing mortars were deployed one after another, and with a roar, shrapnel shells fell into the trenches of the Qing army.
Amidst the explosion, the path forward was cleared for the Ming army's attacking troops!
After the ear-piercing charge bugle sounded, the Ming army launched another bayonet charge.
The Qing army in front of them did not dare to stop them, and the Ming army's charge almost became a nightmare for them.
The Ming army's offensive troops are still the same as before!
Rifled gun fire suppressed the attack, grenades cleared the way, and the bayonet charge ended.
Although the routine is old, it is very useful.
In half a day's work, the Ming army broke through several lines of defense of the Qing army. The most aggressive attacking force was almost close to the main battery of the Dagukou Fort.
…
Wu Ming, as one of the fleet commanders of the Ming Army's Northern Expedition, held a telescope in his hand and looked at the battlefield, his face full of unconcealable joy.
"Haha, not bad! It's really good!"
Now the Ming army's offensive is very fierce. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is unilaterally suppressing the Qing army.
