Many soldiers of the Qing Dynasty's Imperial Division had fought in the Jinzhou area, but they had never suffered such a violent bombardment. It could be said that they were almost crazy.
Within a distance of three to four hundred steps from the bank of the Cao River to the west, there was almost no real safe zone, and any position could be hit by artillery shells falling from the sky.
Many people have heard about this kind of object that explodes when it hits the ground, but they didn't realize how sharp it was before entering the city.
The soldiers of the Eight Banners felt that they were just bragging about the frightened Sanshun King. No matter how powerful they were, they could not compare to their own indestructible red cannons.
However, what happened on the battlefield was far from what they had imagined, especially for the infantry. After the number of such explosive objects reached a certain level, it became a lingering nightmare for them.
If there are illiterate people who don't know the meaning of the word "flowering everywhere", if they put themselves in the shoes of the battlefield, they will be so scared that they will run away.
The soldiers of the Eight Banners thought that after gritting their teeth and surviving the bombardment of a cup of tea, the show of the dog barbarian was over. Unexpectedly, after the bombardment, a bunch of evil objects of unknown objects flew over.
Even a house can be razed to the ground in an instant, let alone the living people hiding inside. After the explosion, the impact area has long lost any signs of life.
Some of the unlucky ones hiding inside were either blown to death or burned to death by fire, or were crushed to death by collapsed beams or walls. Their death was extremely miserable.
The damage caused to the Qing Dynasty King's Division was much higher than direct bombardment with red cannons. The newly assembled troops were dispersed by Gou Barbarian with firearms.
The troops of the Qing King's Division who were preparing to attack in the city gritted their teeth and withstood the "two axes" of Gou Manzi. After an inventory, it was found that nearly a thousand people were injured or killed in the bombardment, and these people were unable to continue to participate in the subsequent battle.
At this moment, there seemed to be a faint sound coming from the other side, which surprised the Qing soldiers who struggled to crawl out from various places in the ruins, and some people even listened attentively.
The sound was very weak, and only some tones could be vaguely heard, but it seemed that the rhythm was very beautiful, and it seemed to have a courageous momentum that was unprecedented to him, and he couldn't help but feel fascinated.
That's right!
A certain prince ordered the famous trump card, the East Palace Band, to be deployed in full force to play a few songs for the soldiers participating in the battle as the BGM for the battle!
There is no other reason. The party that masters BGM must be the righteous party!
The righteous side with the blessing of BGM will definitely win!
This is a fact proven through many movies!
No doubt!
No refutation will be accepted!
For all the soldiers of the Ming army who were about to fight against the Donglu, being able to listen to the majestic music while digesting food was really an intoxicating luxury for the body and mind.
Although the erhu, dulcimer, xylophone, pipa, suona, and drum are not as good as the original Western instruments, after a certain prince's careful guidance and the long-term training of the musicians, the tunes have basically maintained their original appearance.
The first song is the famous "Victorry"!
Translated is "Victoria's Secret"...
The official name is "Victory March"!
In order to ensure that after the orchestra is dispersed and deployed, it can still maintain a certain volume effect so that thousands of soldiers present can hear it.
A certain prince also sent people to equip each small band with a set of microphones and batteries for his speeches.
For many low-level soldiers who were quasi-illiterates, a certain prince didn't know whether he could impress these people.
If such a top-notch song can't impress them, then they can only count on the braid on the other side to "impress" them.
"What a song! It really deserves to be the decisive battle of this battle!"
Lin Baoguo didn't know what the prince was doing, but he just listened to the beginning and started stroking his beard in admiration.
He has listened to countless pieces of music in his life, but he has never heard such a majestic, heroic and inspiring piece of music. It is worthy of being called the sound of nature.
Regardless of military rank, as long as you are covered by the sound of this song, you will be immersed in it, unable to extricate yourself, and you will be filled with emotions.
Especially in the second half of this song, several women sing loudly, with ups and downs of tone, as if they are singing countless blood and tears in a thousand turns.
So much so that some soldiers, thinking of their earlier humiliation, started chanting this song and couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.
The prince is really the confidant of the soldiers. With just one piece of music, those reckless men who are usually not good at emotions began to feel a little sore in their noses.
"The Ming Dynasty will win!"
"Long live the prince!"
Someone took the lead in shouting slogans, and immediately hundreds of people responded. After the music ended, the shouts of the Ming army officers and soldiers present reached the point of a roaring crowd.
After the sound gradually weakened, the second song quietly sounded. Although the name is not suitable for daytime, as long as no one announces the curtain, it will be fine. This is the famous "STARR-SKY".
Different from the previous one, this song has lyrics. It was specially created by a certain prince, so it must be praised.
"We are here!
Fight the enemy!
Gunfire everywhere!
The sky is filled with smoke!
Just to fulfill our duties and protect our country!
To save the people from misery!
In order to allow the Ming Dynasty to continue the country..."
Fortunately, a certain prince was not present, otherwise he would have found that the lead singer was singing a little out of tune.
But for the audience present, this song really accurately describes the current mood of the soldiers.
Just like what the song says, these people are using their flesh and blood to do these things that can be famous throughout the ages.
Even if he died on the spot, he would die without regrets!
"Soldiers! Our Ming Dynasty will never be destroyed..."
Lin Baoguo grabbed the lead singer's loudspeaker. He just said something and wanted to order an attack. Then he was stopped by the leader of the small band. According to the established procedure, there was still one song that was not played.
However, the airships that took off had already appeared in the sky in the distance behind everyone. There were dozens of them, which was unprecedented, and the soldiers shouted excitedly.
That is a powerful weapon in the immortal world. Usually seeing just one of them is amazing, but now there are dozens of them. Then Master Wang is sure of victory. Today is the end of the Dog Tartars!
The extremely huge shark mouth pattern makes each airship extremely eye-catching, and a huge "明" character is written on the back half of the airship's airbag!
Under the watchful eye of Zhou Yuji, who had just arrived at the Mashiqiao position, the band began to play the last song - "Angel Empire"!
The spectacular scene of twenty-four airships taking off for battle perfectly complemented each other, and made everyone present feel that the Ming Dynasty King's army was unprecedentedly powerful, and now was the time to fight back against the Tatars in the city.
"airship!"
"It's an airship!"
"Come and see!"
The common people who had been frightened to death by the news of the Qing army's entry into the city heard the shouts of the defenders and curiously stuck their heads out to watch. Unexpectedly, an incredible and shocking spectacle appeared in the sky.
At this moment, there is no weapon that can make the people feel more at ease than the airship. The airship means that the King's Division is about to counterattack. With the help of the airship, the King's Division's chances of winning can be greatly increased.
No matter how powerful the dog Tartar is, it can't fly into the sky and can't reach it with arrows. An airship beating a dog Tatar is like beating a grandson. This is the only scenario the common people can imagine.
The speed of the airship is very slow, not much faster than walking, but it can perfectly cooperate with the attack of ground troops. In order to prevent it from flying eastward, it must be towed by vehicles on the ground.
"this……"
"Could it be Man Ming's airship?"
The generals of the Qing army were all looking straight at the sky opposite. Man Ming had really created an object that could fly?
Everyone was stunned in the smoky ruins, completely unable to believe what their eyes saw.
They had only heard about it through hearsay, hearing fragments of it from newspapers or other people's mouths.
Most people think that it is just a trick of the clever dog prince, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
Now that I have actually seen it with my own eyes, it is completely different. It may be fake.
"master?"
"This is the barbarian's sky lantern! It poses no threat to Master Wang! There is no need to be afraid!"
If Jueluo Baishan thought that Goumanzi was really powerful, he would not dare to go out of the city to fight against the Qing Dynasty King.
So what if I can fly?
Can you beat the Qing warriors on the ground?
Are you able to come down?
As long as the warriors of the Qing Dynasty can defeat the barbarians on the ground, then sooner or later this object will belong to the Qing Dynasty!
"Gather your troops and prepare to advance..."
Before Jueluo Baishan could finish his words, he saw that the bridge opposite was already crowded with people, and even the armored monsters began to move forward.
Is the dog barbarian crazy?
Want to cross the bridge directly?
Isn't this a suicide?
Did you read that correctly?
While Jueluobai Mountain was still being further confirmed, tanks opened the way, followed by a large number of musketeers. Lin Baoguo's troops attacked westward through Ma Shiqiao, trying to regain the lost ground in the west of the city.
The first ones to rush over were twenty tanks and two hundred musketeers. Facing the enemy who tried to block them, the small Folan machine equipped with the tanks opened fire first.
Each shell tore the stubborn Eight Banners soldiers and the surrounding houses into pieces. Before they could get close to the target, the Qing army lost no less than fifty people.
"Retreat a hundred steps! Lure the enemy deeper!"
Jueluo Baishan immediately ordered his troops to retreat temporarily, so that the dog barbarians could be paralyzed and careless. After the opponent underestimated the enemy, he could catch them all in one fell swoop and annihilate them all.
If these barbarians who are good at using firearms are still clinging to the east bank of the Cao River, it will be difficult for my troops to deal with them. Now it is in line with my own wishes.
Jueluo Baishan's plan was to vacate an area at the head of the bridge, then feint a frontal attack, but actually outflank it from both wings, and finally encircle and annihilate the hundreds of barbarians who invaded this place.
"Tanks occupy the main road! Infantry will follow soon! Keep your distance! Maintain infantry-tank coordination!"
One of the daily training items of the East Palace Guards is this. The infantry cannot advance alone and must be under the cover of tanks to attack. Otherwise, there is a risk of being severely damaged by the dog Tatars or even being completely annihilated.
Matters on both sides are left to the factory guards and other auxiliary forces. These people do not need to fight with the main force of the Dog Tatars. They can conduct house-to-house searches and avoid wasting the energy and time of the East Palace Guards.
After walking for a while, the road ahead was blocked by ordinary people. These people were driven by the Qing army with the purpose of blocking the Ming army's attack.
As long as they have these hostages in hand, the dog barbarians will easily stop attacking their own occupied areas. When the two sides are in a stalemate, it is a good opportunity to outflank the opponent from both sides.
"People on the other side, listen! If you want to survive, you must either run away or lie down on the ground! Otherwise, when the cannon fires, you will all be killed!"
The East Palace Guards did not intend to sacrifice the common people yet. In order to eliminate the dog Tatars, they killed the common people first, but they still had to avoid them first.
"Whoever dares to act rashly will be shot with arrows immediately!"
The armored soldiers of the Han army hidden in the crowd heard the other party's shouting and immediately threatened the people around them. Without these hostages, they really couldn't stop the armored monsters.
"Quick! Move forward! Anyone who dares to resist orders will be shot immediately!"
Not only could they not listen to the dog barbarians, but the common people had to advance according to the armored soldiers' instructions. As long as the defenders did not dare to fire, they could be forced to retreat step by step.
"ah……"
After the archers on the roof shot and killed several people, the remaining people had no choice but to follow the instructions of the Eight Banners Master in order to survive. At this point, they just had to live for a while.
"The Dog Tartars are really sinister and vicious!"
"Company commander! What should we do?"
"shot!"
"ah?"
"If something happens, I'll take the responsibility!"
A certain prince had already thought of something similar, and his pigtails could even let people walk through landmines, let alone block the road.
In this case, in order to protect the safety of most of the people in the city, this small group of people can only be sacrificed. This is the fate of Ting Braid, and no one else can be blamed.
"People on the other side, listen! If you don't run away, we'll shoot!"
"..."
The people seemed to be even more afraid of the vicious dog Tatars around them. They completely ignored the warnings of the Ming army and continued to move forward as if they had not heard them.
"Bah bang bang!"
Forced by helplessness, the East Palace Guards could only fire, but they only aimed at the position above the target's head, giving a final warning to the common people who were clearing the way for the dog Tatars.
If you really don't run, then I'm sorry. No matter how many people come, they will all die. There is no need to shoot at close range, just throw grenades.
"ah……"
The common people completely collapsed. They did not expect that the Ming Dynasty King would actually shoot at them. The birds and beasts were scattered in all directions. No matter how hard the armored soldiers suppressed them, it had no effect.
"Airship!"
"The dog tartars are finished!"
Some people even ran and shouted, but the Han armored soldiers present were so angry that they hacked several hostages to death, but it did not change the chaotic result.
In the end, I had to run away with the crowd. If I stayed on the road, I would really become a target for the barbarians on the other side. If they were shot, there would be no trace of their bodies...
Soon there was a huge shadow covering the ground, that was the shadow of the airship!
Looking up, the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty felt even more terrified that they were about to be overwhelmed by Mount Tai.
Is this an airship?
So big?
Woohoo!
Can this thing be defeated by human power?
Some of the armored soldiers who were starting to be in a daze began to automatically think of it, completely forgetting that there were a large number of Ming troops opposite them.
Curiosity and fear, the two intertwined, seriously affected the fighting spirit and morale of the Qing army in the city.
He couldn't hit it himself, and he suspected that the airship was just for everyone to watch and had no actual use.
Everyone was looking up to the sky, hoping in their hearts how sharp the airship would be.
Just then, a small black dot fell from the airship.
Under the gaze of hundreds of people, he quickly landed at his own location.
"Whoosh...boom~!"
The explosion made everyone present finally panic. It turned out that the airship could really attack one's own side.
I can't hit the arrow again!
What should I do?
After the appearance of this natural enemy, even the soldiers of the Eight Banners completely lost their ambition to seize the Manming Imperial City in one fell swoop.
Even if they didn't explode, others felt suffocated by this evil thing under the influence of their hearts.
This thing can attack people on the ground from the sky. How can we fight this battle?
All the armored soldiers were confused by this scene, waiting for the latest order from their superiors with blank expressions...
