"May I ask what this is? Why can it shoot continuously?"
Although Meng Qiaofang was willing to beg for surrender, she was still very unconvinced. If these barbarians were not equipped with such sharp weapons, how could they have defeated their elite warriors?
"This was created by the Crown Prince, not to mention you. Even the most ferocious of the Dog Tartars will die if he is held up by this thing and fired several times in the butt!"
Yi State did not miss the opportunity to show off this new weapon, and did not forget to humiliate the other party in his words.
No matter which dog Tatar it is, as long as it dares to come and die, I promise to spread its ass!
"...If I hadn't encountered this thing..."
Meng Qiaofang was so embarrassed that she was choked, but she still wanted to defend herself. It was not due to her incompetence.
"Come on, come on! I'll finish my words for you! If you hadn't encountered an airship, you could have taken our Ming Imperial City directly. If you hadn't encountered a tank, you would have been invincible. If you hadn't surrendered to the leader, wouldn't you have been able to do so? Have you established yourself as a king? Why bother surrendering to me this time? If you didn't live by yourself, would you have lived like a dog? "
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Yibang directly interrupted the other party's excuse, and then compiled the following remarks by himself, causing a group of special forces to laugh.
Is this the general who can become the Dog Tartars, or Mele Zhangjing, the captive chief Huang Taiji was deceived by this guy, or is Huang Taiji blind and unable to recognize people at all?
"The Crown Prince has said that the Donglu have always been barbaric and cruel. They do not accept the teachings of the king. They are only militaristic. They are obsessed with the proficiency of bows and horses and do not understand the development of civilization. Our Ming Dynasty now has airships in the sky, tanks on the ground, and new rifles in the hands of soldiers. , blunderbuss, hand grenades, everything you need. You have brought this result upon yourself. If you had not surrendered to the Eastern captives before, how could you have suffered this humiliation now?"
The prince said before that Donglu had gone downhill. It was estimated that few people would believe it, but that was not the case for Yi Bangcai. After joining the special forces, he really came into contact with more profound military secrets.
After three months of training in the East Palace Guards, they were organized into a unit and dubbed a "strong force". They were regarded as one of the main forces that defended the Ming Dynasty.
Although the special forces have few people, they are extremely elite, and everyone has unique skills. In addition to lacking actual combat experience than Donglu, Bagala surpassed Donglu in other aspects.
If one thousand special forces can be trained and equipped with a corresponding number of revolvers, Jifu will have nothing to worry about. If we get 10,000 special forces, we can regain Liaodong and revive the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty's army suffered consecutive defeats due to unfavorable battles. It was quite different from the Donglu in many aspects such as military strength, food and wages, morale, ordnance, command, and cooperation.
After the prince took charge of the country, he quickly made up for the many shortcomings of the previous king's division and formulated extremely reasonable strategies and tactics. He might be passively beaten in the short term, but he would definitely win a great victory in the long term.
In the words of the prince, the current plan is to trade space for time, shrink the defenses, strengthen the walls and clear the country, and use the opportunity to strike later and turn defeat into victory within five years.
If the East Palace Guards are compared to a spear, there is no doubt that the special forces are the sharpest spear tip.
Although there is only one row this year, it can take root and sprout as a seed.
Next year, it will develop into a company, and the year after that it will become a battalion.
The next year there were three battalions, then a brigade, then a division!
Based on this calculation, it would only take six years to expand to tens of thousands.
Now that the special forces have adopted the training method devised by the prince himself, it has begun to bear fruit. As long as the troops repulse the attack of the Dog Tatars, they will be able to develop rapidly in the future.
Based on the veterans of the former Yongwei camp, young and strong recruits were recruited. In this way, the combination of the old and the new has physical strength and experience. Judging from the actual combat effect, it is quite good.
"Take it first and hand it over to the support team! Each squad will immediately count the remaining ammunition and report it to me!"
"yes!"
Capturing a Mele Zhangjing alive and killing a Jia La Zhangjing is a very good start. I believe the prince will be rewarded and will praise his troops a few words.
After statistics, the average number of remaining bullets and two grenades per person in the first squad was 72. The situation in the second and third squads was similar, with the entire team having 15 remaining grenades.
Since the revolver rifle is the long-barreled version of the revolver blunderbuss, the bullets for both are common, which saves soldiers the trouble of carrying two types of ammunition.
A certain prince gave each of his precious special forces a hundred rounds of bullets, half of which were white phosphorus dummy bullets and the other half of which were ordinary bullets.
The purpose of equipping the latter is to use ordinary bullets to accidentally injure friendly troops in the event of one of your own being injured during a melee, so that the injured person will not be hurt to death by white phosphorus bombs.
Judging from the ammunition consumption, not many bullets were knocked out, only 30%, but a lot of grenades were thrown. These foodies just want to save trouble, and throwing grenades is much more convenient than loading bullets.
"It's not yet noon, the whole team will eat first, wait for the support team to come up, replenish ammunition and supplies on the spot, and then do another job!"
Only then did Yi Bang decide to let his soldiers rest for a while and not be in a hurry. After catching two big fish, everyone was not so anxious anymore.
No one knows whether the special forces will be as lucky as this time in the future, but if they attack with Zhang Yilong's Guards Battalion, they will definitely make a lot of money.
The capacity of the Guards Battalion is currently only 5,000, and its combat effectiveness is equivalent to a brigade of the Donggong Guards. In terms of organization, it can be regarded as a combined brigade, because it is equipped with one sub-battalion each of cavalry, infantry, and chariots.
Since the sub-battalions practice frequently and are familiar with each other's tactics, coordination problems caused by temporary team formation are eliminated.
Even if only two thousand people went into battle this time, supplemented by hundreds of horsemen, thousands of factory guards, and tens of thousands of strong men, their combat power should not be underestimated, especially with the addition of special forces and twenty snipers.
Yi Bangcai's special forces specialize in picking out big fish, while the snipers are responsible for killing General Donglu who is in the line of fire. The two groups echo each other during the war and complement each other.
Without these prey to supervise and command on the front line, a small number of Zhenglan Banner Eight Banners soldiers and a large number of Han Army Zhenghong Banner armored soldiers were quickly defeated by the fierce attack of the Guards Battalion, and then collapsed. .
In the central and southern area of Jinchengfang, which is south of Wudinghou Hutong and west of Jinchengfang Hutong, the Ming army that had counterattacked by the Qing army in this area was cut into several non-connected sections.
Many officers were killed and wounded on the spot by Ming army snipers, causing all ministries to fall into chaos. The sporadic counterattacks launched could not shake the Ming army's tank troops.
After the second mass casualty, the morale of the Han army's Zhenghong Banner had fallen to the bottom. The Zhenglan Banner's Mele Zhangjing'e Moktu had been bombarded unconscious when the Ming army launched an artillery bombardment.
The five Niulu soldiers under his command, Zhenglan Banner, have only been around 600 since the battle. The others were either dead or wounded, and they have completely lost their ability to withstand the Ming army's attack.
It stands to reason that hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers are already quite a lot, and they are more than enough to deal with two thousand Ming troops. However, due to the appearance of tanks, these Eight Banners soldiers have become battlefield targets.
The Ming army's tank soldiers shot down a wave of shotguns. Of the hundred Eight Banners soldiers who rushed forward, 60-70% were still standing. The remaining 20-30% were almost harvested by muskets and grenades.
Less than half of the remaining Eight Banners soldiers had the courage to continue charging towards the Ming army's armored monster formation. They were all focused on running back.
They are human beings too, and they don’t want to be bombarded alive by cannons and fight against the wind. A little meaning is enough, but if there are too many meanings, it will be completely boring...
As early as the siege of Jinzhou, which was guarded by Zu Dashou, some Eight Banners soldiers who could not bear the torture surrendered to Zu Dashou's troops. The reason was that it was better to die than live.
Zu Dashou's troops were tough and tough. Even though they knew that Jinzhou was completely surrounded, they could not break out of the siege, and the Ming army who came to rescue could not get close. They could huddle in the city and refuse to surrender.
Huang Taiji ordered the Qing army to attack the Ming army here, which directly caused some Eight Banners captains who could not bear this kind of death-defying tactics to surrender with their men.
The Eight Banners soldiers are not afraid of death, they are not seeking death. They are not fools. At least they know that they should live, even if they beg for food.
Especially in such a fierce battle with more than half of the casualties, no one wanted to continue to resist the Ming army's counterattack, and they were all running back.
The double-layered armor that they were so proud of could not withstand the bombardment of artillery fire from the Ming army's tanks. Usually, both the man and his armor were blown into several pieces.
Moreover, the bird gun used by the dog barbarian can fire a bullet that can burn through their bones. Is there anything more terrifying than this? full text
All the Eight Banners soldiers who saw their comrades falling to the ground after being shot, rolling on the ground in pain, and having their bones burned through by bullets in the struggle for life were scared to death.
No one thought that there was such a cruel weapon in the world. As long as the armor was shot through, it would almost be a loss of one's life.
Unless his companions are quick-sighted and can use their saber to flick out the bullet before it burns through the bones, otherwise he will be dead or disabled by the time he does it.
But on the battlefield, who has the time and thought to rescue his comrades?
His own life was not guaranteed, so he fought whenever he could and ran away whenever he could.
The soldiers of the Han Dynasty saw the Eight Banners soldiers who were arrogant in the past and regarded them as pigs and dogs. Now their eyes were confused and their energy was slack. They could run faster than them...
Mele Zhang Jinturai, who came to join the battle with a Jia Lai with a yellow flag, was already being carried back by others. Because his right foot was shot, he was completely unable to run on his own.
Tu Lai did not believe that the barbarians would launch a fierce counterattack. There were tens of thousands of Qing warriors on the west bank of the Cao River, so they were completely unafraid of the barbarians' attack.
However, the appearance of the airship surprised Tu Lai.
The fierce shelling caused considerable losses to Tu Lai's troops.
The tanks on the street made the warriors with yellow flags repeatedly defeated.
Tu Lai believed that the Qing warriors were invincible in a single battle, so he personally led a group of Niulu warriors to launch a counterattack.
The result was that he himself was injured...
That's right!
The armored monster's artillery fire was so fierce that even the soldiers blocking him were shot through the body, and then the cannonball knocked off the little toe of Turai's right foot.
This is fortunate. We are just a little bit away from being able to perform a very considerate amputation surgery on Tu Lai.
Even so, Tu Lai gritted his teeth in pain and hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield with the help of his own soldiers.
Tu Lai was not willing to fail. Even if he was injured, he could still let his subordinates continue to charge.
Otherwise, leading five Niu Lu would not be able to break through Gou Manzi's defense line, but would be overwhelmed by the other party. How would he report to the emperor when he went back?
He is a man wearing a yellow flag, and he is determined not to embarrass the emperor!
So General Ya went to supervise the battle, but General Ya returned not long after, bringing with him the body of a warrior.
This man's face had turned black, especially around his nose, as if it had been burned through by charcoal. Not to mention his skin and flesh, nearly half of his bones were missing.
The tooth general said that the dog barbarian used a special kind of bullet. As long as the flesh and skin were hit, it would burn rapidly until the bones of the warrior who was hit by the bullet were burned.
The battlefield is full of warriors who have encountered such a situation, and in such a dangerous situation, how can any warrior dare to resist the attack of the barbarian?
The Eight Banners soldiers under Tu Lai's command have been defeated by the opponent. Not to mention counterattack, even self-protection is a problem.
If the master persists, his troops will either mutiny and withdraw from the city through the cave, or they will directly choose to join the Goumanzi. Anyway, they will not continue the fight.
The warriors with the yellow flag are extremely powerful in combat and will not be afraid of the enemy except under extremely special circumstances, and this is the case now.
You can't beat the opponent's armored monster!
Can't withstand the opponent's explosive mallet!
I don’t want to be burned through my bones by such a bullet!
The injured looked extremely painful before death, like evil ghosts about to be devoured!
None of Tulai's men wanted to die so tragically, and after living half their lives, ended up worse than a dog!
Hearing this, Tu Lai was speechless for a while and sat there with a blank expression on his face, as if he had temporarily forgotten the severe pain from his footsteps.
The sound of cannons rumbled in the distance, and the surroundings were extremely noisy, but strangely, Tu Lai's heart was peaceful and calm.
"Let's all go! There's nothing to wait for!"
"Master! What are you..."
"I am an incompetent person and have been deeply favored by the Emperor. Now that I have suffered such a defeat, I feel ashamed to see the Emperor again. I say goodbye to you all!"
Tu Lai gently stroked the waist knife that had been with him for many years. The blade was still sharp and could be cut from the neck with one stroke.
"No way! Master! We failed in this battle, but there is a time to make a comeback!"
General Ya immediately fell to his knees and begged Tu Lai to take back his life sincerely. If the master died, they would be doomed.
"The defeat has nothing to do with you! Everyone, retreat! Take this jade pendant back and present it to the emperor. My emperor has always been lenient to our soldiers, so naturally he will not punish you and others severely!"
More than half of the troops were lost, and continuing to fight would only increase casualties. If a Jia La with a yellow flag was annihilated by Man Ming, it would be a great shame and humiliation.
Someone must be responsible for this matter. As one of the top generals here, Tu Lai also knew that he had to swallow this poisonous fruit.
At this point, Tu Lai has made the final decision. Defeat and death have been the fate of generals throughout the ages.
Now that I am in such a situation, I should be understandable if I choose to end it on my own.
Especially since he has killed many Ming people in the past, and especially played tricks on many Ming Ming women. If Man Ming is caught, he will definitely not let himself go easily.
Rather than being executed by Man Ming Ling Chi, it would be better to end his life and be free.
Turai would not surrender and would not leave the city.
Neither side would make it easy for him, so he would die.
"master……"
Tu Lai chose to commit suicide on the spot. All the generals and soldiers witnessed the whole process, and they all knelt on the ground and cried sadly.
Although the Qing army in the city was far from reaching the end of its rope, it could still continue to fight the Ming army in a huge area.
But Tu Lai has already predicted the final outcome. At this time, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. It is better to die first than to die later!
Or be surrounded and annihilated!
Or be forced to land!
These two consequences are a great shame and humiliation for Master Wang!
Tens of thousands of Qing warriors were annihilated by the Ming in street fighting, and the consequences were unimaginable...
