At the foot of Qufu City, the team commanded by Shi Dewei has already faced off against Liu Liangzuo's men!
"Don't fire, don't fire, hold on..."
The person who yelled "Don't fire" was Shi Dewei. He also had a small group of cannon soldiers on hand, only 300 people, who were under Shi Kefa's supervision. In addition, there are 300 three-eyed fire gun soldiers in Shi Kefa's supervision.
These firecrackers have now been led out of the city by Stewie, but Stewie's firecrackers do not know the Morris Square formation, nor can they defeat the new army's bayonet and volley style of play. Their tactics were the traditional Ming army's firecrackers at the front, and spears and knives at the back. When approaching the enemy, first the bird cannon is fired, then the three-eyed fire cannon is fired, and finally the spear and sword soldiers charge. As for the archers, Stewie asked them to stay behind and dominate the formation.
Now Shi Dewei led dozens of sword players to supervise the battle and followed the 600 fire gun soldiers, trying hard to control the fire gun soldiers in front and prevent them from firing indiscriminately.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
Sporadic sounds of firecrackers rang out on the battlefield. It was not Shi Dewei's men who were firing, but Liu Liangzuo's firecrackers.
Liu Liangzuo's army already had a small number of fire muskets. After arriving in the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon replenished him with a batch of three-eyed muskets, all of which were obtained from Shanhaiguan Customs. The quality was pretty good.
However, Liu Liangzuo didn't expect his men to use the fire cannons well. The purpose of letting his fire cannon soldiers fire from a distance was actually to lure the opponent to shoot indiscriminately.
He has discovered that the other side has a lot of firecrackers, five to six hundred of them! If they were allowed to fight, the more than 2,000 Green Camp soldiers under his command would get the next piece - he really had some psychological shadow on this matter... Last time he was attacked by Li Ruolian near Liaocheng. The gunmen hit the ground all over and found teeth!
It's a pity that Shi Dewei's men were not vegetarians and were not easily fooled. Not only did they not shoot indiscriminately, they also started shouting slogans.
"Blessed by Saint Kong...invulnerable!"
Well, Saint Kong and Invulnerability come together! I don’t know who came up with it? It was probably an officer under Shi Kefa who had fought against the White Lotus Sect who shouted first.
Hearing this slogan, Liu Liangzuo was also a little stupid. Although he was born in the military, he had also read books and knew that Sage Kong was in charge of invulnerability, and that Sage Kong was in charge of the imperial examination...a shirtless, muscular man who screamed "invulnerability". Is Hana the sage Kong? Even Guan Yunchang wouldn't do this!
"Blessed by Saint Kong... you are invulnerable!"
Stewie's gang is still shouting slogans, but...it seems to be working! The firecrackers on the other side were crackling, but no one on this side was killed.
This shows that Saint Kong is blessing! With Saint Kong protecting us, what are we afraid of?
Now everyone's courage was plucked up. They shouted loudly and strode forward, which frightened the Green Camp soldiers.
This is wrong! Could it be that Saint Kong was really able to prevent fire cannons?
"General, General Soldier, they, they are invulnerable!" A green battalion soldier, Qian, reported with a trembling voice like Liu Liangzuo riding on a tall horse.
With a snap, Liu Liangzuo whipped up, "You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? I'll stop you! They're just a bunch of nerds, they're afraid of birds!" He gritted his teeth, "Called Fire Gun Soldiers" Come down and let the archers fill in! I don’t believe it, Confucius can still defend against bows and arrows!”
Of course Confucius was not immune to arrows, but Liu Liangzuo's archers were not immune to fire blunderbuss either! Can they not be afraid when they see hundreds of fire rifle soldiers getting closer and closer, shouting "Sage Kong bless you...invulnerable"? I don't even have enough strength to draw a bow and shoot an arrow. Moreover, Shi Kefa's military governors were all armored - Shi Kefa had been the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and later the governor-general of seven provinces, so he could still get armor and cloth-covered iron armor for three to two thousand soldiers.
So hundreds of feather arrows were fired at it, but it had no effect!
Fire blunderbuss can't hit, arrows can't kill, are these people really invulnerable? This is how to do ah? Do you want to find a monk to recite sutras?
Even Liu Liangzuo was a little scared, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
At this moment, the chants on the opposite side suddenly stopped, and the team stopped moving forward...
Liu Liangzuo's heart suddenly twitched, he was about to fire! He quickly stretched his neck and looked forward, and he knew something was wrong at the first glance! The green soldiers under his command were only thirty or forty steps away from their opponents, which was completely within the range where the power of the cannons could be exerted!
Just when Liu Liangzuo felt that something was wrong, the Ming army's fire cannon soldiers had leveled the bird cannons, and then there was a row of large and small fires and white smoke! The archers firing arrows in front of the Qing army's formation were shaken and fell in large pieces as if they were suddenly struck by lightning. The screams and screams could not be suppressed!
Liu Liangzuo immediately thought of escaping, but as soon as he turned his horse around, he saw four Niulu Eight Banners soldiers more than a hundred paces behind him who had dismounted and started a battle formation. Everyone had their long bows in their hands... This He is a sharp soldier supervising the battle!
The Eight Banners soldiers always fight with dead soldiers in front and sharp soldiers behind! Now the Green Battalion commanded by Liu Liangzuo is in front, and they are dead soldiers! If they don't fight to the death, the Eight Banners men behind them will be rude... Can't they kill the Ming army with the blessing of Saint Kong, and can't they kill the traitors who are greedy for life and afraid of death?
"Blessed by Saint Kong...invulnerable!"
The strange shouts rose again. It was obvious that the Ming army had launched an attack!
Liu Liangzuo gritted his teeth, took out his sword, and shouted: "Anyone who wants to get rich, come with me!"
Then, he rushed forward with dozens of mounted soldiers. He didn't really want to charge, but he just wanted to scare the enemy and stabilize his own position.
But he never expected that just as he rushed forward, Stewie's three-eyed gunmen were also rushing upward. If he was prepared to rush upward, he might be able to disperse these three-eyed gunmen.
But how could Liu Liangzuo have such courage? In addition, there was still a bit of smoke on the battlefield at this time, which obscured some of the sight, so he did not see clearly that the Ming soldiers rushing ahead were three-eyed gunmen, and he thought they were spearmen. Therefore, he did not dare to charge directly. Instead, he pulled the horse's head and tried to pass in front of the enemy.
As a result, they happened to encounter the three-eyed fire gun!
The three-eyed fire gun was originally not very accurate, but today's situation is a bit special. The Ming army seems to be blessed by Saint Kong! So a projectile hit the head of Liu Liangzuo's horse without any bias, and the flowers immediately opened, and pink brains spread all over his face. The horse couldn't stand it either. It didn't even scream and just fell forward.
Liu Liangzuo, on the other hand, rushed down and landed directly on the hard mud, where he fainted.
In the smoke, they were hit by another volley of fire cannons (three-eyed cannons), and saw the cavalry led by Liu Liangzuo being beaten up. The Qing army's green camp soldiers finally became confused. Many people began to retreat and shouted: " Confucius is great, Confucius is great..."
What? Confucius is great? Could it be that Confucius climbed out of his grave himself?
He Luohui, who was supervising the battle, almost fell off his horse when he heard this cry. Who are these people! Sometimes it's "Confucius bless you and you are invulnerable to weapons and bullets", and sometimes it's "Confucius is awesome"... Why does Confucius care about war? No, I have to find a copy of "The Analects" to study it later!
Boom boom boom......
A sound of bowstrings interrupted He Luohui's thoughts. It turned out that the Eight Banners soldiers supervising the battle shot a wave of feather arrows. The arrowheads fell in front of the retreating Green Camp soldiers. They were all inserted into the mud, leaving only the arrow shafts with white feathers stuck on them. Exposed outside, connected into a white line!
Anyone who dares to retreat beyond the white line will be shot on the spot!
The Tatars are supervising the war, and Confucius is the one fighting... Confucius is powerful, the Tatars are cruel, and the traitors are not easy to be soldiers in the green camp!
The green camp soldiers, who had no choice but to retreat, turned around and fought again. They fought hard and fought with the dead soldiers of the Ming army whose morale was high. But they had lost the opportunity, and they were missing the commander Liu Liangzuo. Their morale was low, their formation was in chaos, and they were completely at a disadvantage to being beaten.
The Eight Banners soldiers under He Luohui continued to shoot arrows. The arrows were thrown out in waves, and they all landed on the back of the dead soldiers of the Ming army. Although they were thrown from a distance, they still shot over many soldiers with incomplete armor. soldiers. On the contrary, it found some space for the Green Camp soldiers who were being beaten!
At the same time, the battle at the C-shaped bunker also reached its most intense moment. The Qing soldiers had already rushed onto the city wall in large numbers, and the strong men guarding the city were completely at a disadvantage. They were forced back step by step by the Qing soldiers, thinking of retreating close to the city gate of the main city of Qufu.
Some Qing soldiers rushed down the city wall and entered the interior of the round fortress. The refugees gathered inside the fortress were already frightened. When they saw the Qing soldiers rushing in, they screamed and rushed towards the only exit of the castle. Their shouts caused the Qing soldiers to become murderous. They slashed and stabbed with swords and spears, and blood suddenly flowed into rivers. The shrill screams swept through the entire fortress like a strong wind.
At this time, the strong men of the regiment who had been forced to retreat suddenly let out an earth-shattering cry: "The Tatar soldiers are killing people! They are killing our wives, children and parents! We will fight them, let's fight!"
This shout was like a magic spell, instantly igniting the fighting spirit of these regiment-trained men. Everyone stopped retreating, then shouted together and turned around to rush forward, fighting together with the Qing army on the top of the city.
