After watching the military parade, the British naval officer reported to the country in a letter that read:
This is a kingdom of God. Under the care of God, they have endless armies and fleets. Their armies are mighty and powerful. They are fully armored and can travel hundreds of kilometers. Some of their fleets are the same sailing warships as ours, but others are the same.
One part is a steel fleet without sails.
The words "Steel Fleet" are bolded and enlarged, and they are also highlighted with horizontal lines, lest the superior officer will not see it or not take it to heart. There are dozens of pages of paper attached to the back, all of which are drawings and descriptions of steel battleships.
.
Finally, the naval officer wrote: The power of the steel battleship is a mystery, because I did not see the sails. I know that some people in China have proposed to install steam engines on the warship, but the Holy See’s steel battleship does not have any chimneys, which shows that it is loaded on the ship.
Steam engines are unreliable.
Prussian officers also sent thick letters to the country:
Your Majesty the Emperor, we can arm a 100,000-strong infantry corps. This is not a problem with our financial resources and technology, but we cannot find 100,000 soldiers with a height of 2 meters. Here, I see what we have introduced
They are proud of their rigor, not only in their pace and formation, but also in their height and body shape.
It is difficult to imagine where the domestic rumors about "Orientals are weak and short" originated. I suspect that this is the Gauls guiding our public opinion in order to mislead us and cause us to misjudge our strategy.
(Gaul: said by the Dutch)
(Dutch: I’m talking about Japan)
The Rakshasa people also sent a thick letter to the country:
Your Majesty the Great Tsar, the Holy See in the south is very powerful, and the Qing Empire is definitely not their opponent. We can take this opportunity to unite with the Holy See to defeat the Qing Empire and occupy all the land of the Qing Empire. In this case, the empire will gain warm farmland and vast exports.
Haikou.
As for the future, we can respect the Holy See as the state religion, and the whole country believes in the main god of the system. What we need is land, and what the gods need are believers on the land. There is no fundamental conflict of interest between us. On the contrary, we can work closely together,
Continuously expand more lands for the Holy See and conquer more believers.
…
The Qing Empire also implemented a policy of strong branches and weak branches. The number of local garrison troops was limited, and there were not even regular troops. They were just some "brave" and "soldiers" used to maintain order and oppress the people. They were difficult to deal with the hungry people, let alone the Northern Expedition.
Already.
Not to mention the hungry people everywhere who serve as guides. Everywhere the Northern Expeditionary Army goes, they will receive a warm welcome from the hungry people. The hungry people spontaneously follow behind the Northern Expeditionary Army to clean up the battlefield.
Because they discovered a strange thing. The Northern Expeditionary Army was all unsmiling, neither eating nor drinking. They marched for hundreds of miles, but not even a single editor... could take a leak.
Whenever a town was captured, the Northern Expeditionary Army would immediately continue their march north after executing officials who were loyal to the Qing Dynasty, truly not taking advantage of the masses.
In other words, the South Bank Camp and the North Bank Camp temporarily established by the Qing Empire resisted for a while, but only for a while.
At this time, the Qing army's war thinking was still at the stage of horseback riding and archery. Although the Ming Dynasty had established firearms camps, all of them were abandoned by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and none were left.
question……
Ordinary bows and arrows could not threaten the Northern Expeditionary Army at all. Even if a crossbow arrow hit the armor, it would only be a spark. As for the rolling stones, the infantrymen of the Northern Expeditionary Army dragged the stone as big as a millstone with one hand, then raised their arms and threw the stone back.
.
Throw it back!
Not only did the Qing army stare at this scene, but the hungry people and ordinary people who followed the Northern Expedition army were also dumbfounded.
Isn’t this kind of thing only found in storytellers and romance novels? Why does it appear in reality?
"Heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals! These are the true heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals!"
After talking about the heavenly soldiers, it was time to look at the heavenly generals, so people turned their attention to the soldiers on the chariot.
I saw them draw their strong bows, but no movement of arrows was seen. A dazzling light shone on the bows, condensing into the shape of an arrow. I saw a flash of light across the battlefield, and a soldier immediately dropped his head on the city wall.
Planted.
There are no missed arrows, and hundreds of arrows hit the mark.
Most importantly, their arrows are constantly flowing.
The Qing soldier who was shot to death had only a small smoking hole left on his body, and no trace of blood. So the Qing soldiers said that this was a soul-killing arrow, and that the smoke was the soul.
Faced with this statement, no matter how brave the Qing army was, they were afraid.
They may sacrifice their lives for Shangguan's reward and be forced to walk up the city wall under the force of a knife, but that is with the idea that they will be a good man again in eighteen years. If their souls are destroyed, there will be no chance in eighteen lifetimes.
At this time, the soldier on the opposite chariot raised a throwing spear and threw it with all his strength from a distance of seven or eight hundred meters. The spear was accurately nailed on the city gate. Then there was a lightning flash, a roar, and the heavy city wall
There is no trace of the door.
Then, the chariot began to gallop outside the city, throwing spears one after another while constantly changing positions, purposefully clearing targets such as crossbows, trebuchets, rolling logs, stones, and artillery.
If the arrows shot by the chariot soldiers were soul-killing arrows, then the thunder produced by the explosion of the spears was the divine thunder of punishment. It was spread so miraculously by the Qing army that even the superior officials believed in this statement.
"What's the point of fighting?"
"Who can live with this!"
The camp on the south bank of the Yellow River lost all morale in an instant, the birds and beasts dispersed, and the 200,000 troops fled completely.
The Qing army originally wanted to use the natural dangers of the Yellow River to stop the Northern Expeditionary Army. As a result, rows of warships came on the river and bombarded the Jiangbei camp indiscriminately.
The South Camp resisted for at least ten minutes, but the North Camp collapsed at the first touch, and ran away cleanly in ten minutes. The slower warships behind did not even catch any hair, so they could only bomb the ruins of the battlefield indiscriminately.
The waste of firepower made everyone watching the battle have their eyelids jump.
Push all the way!
If gods stand in the way, they will kill gods; if they stand in the way of Buddha, they will kill Buddha!
All the forces watching the battle were shocked. They attacked the city all the way, but they advanced faster than others. This was not a war, it was clearly an outing!
The most important thing is that since the beginning of the war, the Northern Expedition has not suffered any casualties.
Yes, zero casualties, not even injured.
So, a letter was sent to all the great powers.
"This is the army of God, or it may be the army of demons. In short, they are an immortal army! I couldn't keep up with their walking speed while riding in a carriage, because I needed to eat, sleep, and go to the toilet, but they didn't need it at all!
"
"The warships of the Holy See can still come and go freely in the countercurrent, and the artillery they use has a faster firing rate, a longer range, greater power, and a higher hit rate."
"The capital of the Qing Empire has been besieged on three sides. The Northern Expeditionary Army deliberately left a gap in the north. This seems to be what the Chinese art of war says about surrounding three and missing one. But I prefer to believe that they have ambushed their troops in the north."
"I have exchanged views with envoys from various countries, and everyone agrees that the Qing Empire has been removed. I don't know what the Holy See will do with the territory of the Qing Empire, let alone what the Holy See will do next."
"If Your Majesty plans to go to war with the Holy See, please approve my retirement application first. I want to enjoy my old age in a place close to God."
