"Boom boom boom..."
Three more roars sounded from somewhere in the Qingyao Camp! At the same time, there were still three groups of fireballs that looked very scary!
In fact, the warhead of this "sugar medicine" rocket is not large, and because the gunpowder fuse sometimes extinguishes itself, and sometimes ignites the warhead in advance, not many Qingyao soldiers are actually killed or injured.
But this thing looks so scary! Even if the rocket explodes before landing, a huge fire will appear in the sky and there will be a loud noise.
It looked like a deity casting a spell, and this deity... seemed to be on the side of the Ming Dynasty!
Well, it must be on the Ming side!
What are the images of the gods in "The Legend of the Gods"? No one has shaved their head bald and still has a braid on the back of their head that looks like a money rat’s tail, right? The idea of growing your hair but not doing it is not feasible for the Supreme Laojun and the Jade Emperor!
When he thought that all the gods and ghosts were rebels, let alone the uneducated soldiers below, even the great scholar Tu Hai became frightened.
It should be said that Zhou Peigong, a well-informed military advisor who just passed the test, had seen the records of "bolide" and "thunderbolt cannon" in some military book that had not been strictly banned. It just happened to come to mind at this time. .
Thinking of this, he shouted, "Zhongtang, that's not a meteor, it's a rocket! It's a thunder cannon... It's the rebel's firearm!"
After being reminded like this, Tu Hai also remembered that there was indeed this fire-breathing flying firearm.
But at this time, the Qing army's camp was already in a bit of chaos. The Qing soldiers who were sleeping or pretending to sleep all came out of their tents. They saw the weapons that kept crossing the night sky and falling somewhere in their own camp or exploding directly in the main camp. The sky turned into a gorgeous fireball... Of course I was a little panicked!
The originally quiet military camp suddenly became noisy and noisy. Everyone was exclaiming or asking questions-why did the stars fall from the sky? Is this Zhuge Yaodao casting a spell? Can the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers break this Zhuge Demon Dao's evil spell?
This military camp was originally a place of solemn killing, but it was most solemn and orderly. Especially camps located on the front line are most afraid of chaos. The Qing army camp is now in a bit of chaos due to rounds of rockets. If it is not stopped, once the camp roar occurs, the consequences will be disastrous!
But how can we stop the chaos and restore order now?
As soon as Tu Hai thought of this, Zhou Peigong beside him had already thought of a way.
"Please order the entire camp to be under martial law, and all units to put on armor and prepare for battle! Then order the artillery of each unit to fire at the rebel camp... Regardless of whether it can be obtained, let's suppress the movement of the rebel rockets first!
Finally, please ask Master Zhongtang to personally lead the Eight Banner Heavenly Soldiers to patrol the camp!
As long as the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers are not afraid of rockets, the Han Army and Green Camp below will have a backbone and will not be afraid! "
After listening to Zhou Peigong's suggestion, Tu Hai immediately reacted and ordered loudly at the top of his voice: "Send orders to all ministries to put on armor and prepare for war. The whole team is on standby. Everyone should stay in their place and no noise is allowed... The traitors are on the way. Use rockets to disturb the morale of our troops. Anyone who dares to cause chaos will be beheaded!
In addition, the artillerymen of each artillery base were ordered to fire immediately, no matter whether there were enemies in front of them or not, they should fire first! "
Geshiha behind Tuhai saw that his master had become energetic and had a backbone. Most of them immediately responded and rushed to deliver orders everywhere. Tuhai, surrounded by the remaining Goshiha, strode towards the camp of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers located behind the camp.
The camp of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers is a "camp within a camp". There is a separate fence to isolate it from the camps of the Han Army and Green Camp Soldiers outside. Even the Chinese army's tent in Tuhai is not within this "camp within a camp". . Moreover, this camp-within-a-camp is also a cavalry camp, with a large internal area. It also has venues and passages for cavalry to assemble, as well as several rows of stables for horses to rest.
When Tuhai arrived, the heavenly soldiers who were sleeping all came out of the tents. They stood in the open space in the camp in twos and threes, raising their heads and opening their mouths, watching flying around in the air, and kept going. Everyone was stunned by the exploding "meteors".
When someone saw Tu Hai coming with someone, they started shouting loudly.
"Zhongtang, it's bad, stars are falling from the sky!"
"Zhongtang, this is the falling star! There are dozens of them falling..."
"Zhongtang, the traitor's magic is getting more and more powerful. What should we do?"
This is what these Eight Banners men dared to say to Tu Hai. If it had been anyone else, they would have lost their heads!
But how could Tuhai dare to chop dozens of Manchurian melon seeds produced in Beijing at once? These all belong to someone in the court... If they are chopped into pieces, I don’t know how many people will complain to the emperor about Tu Hai’s fault!
However, Tu Hai also had a trick up his sleeve. He had long known that this generation of rebels had powerful demon magic, so he had prepared treasures to prevent demons and break magic early in the morning and distributed them to every Manchurian heavenly soldier below.
So when I heard someone asking a question, I immediately started shouting.
"What are you afraid of? Aren't they just some unpopular magic arts? You all have beads that have been blessed by the Great Lama of the Snow Region and immortal talismans drawn by Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain! What kind of magic skills are you afraid of? Are you all damned? Put on your armor and mount your horse... I will take you on a patrol to fight monsters!"
"Fight, how to fight monsters? How to fight?" Some people still didn't open their eyes and continued to ask Tu Hai.
Tu Hai snorted and yelled: "You are all heavenly soldiers... Heavenly soldiers are not afraid of demons! You also have the beads of the great lama and Zhang Zhenren's talisman. When the demons see you, you have to go around them." Let’s go! Come with me and go out for a walk, let those Nikans outside see the majesty of our Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers!”
It has to be said that this generation of Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers is much better than their unworthy descendants... At least they still believe that they are Heavenly Soldiers!
Since he believed that he was a heavenly soldier, and when he left Beijing, Emperor Kangxi also gave them rosary beads said to be personally consecrated by the Great Lama of the Snow Region and immortal talismans written by Zhang Tianshi (the 6-year-old one) of Longhu Mountain, then of course I am no longer afraid of Zhuge’s evil ways.
So it didn't take long for the four assistant leaders and a total of eight hundred and eight banners of heavenly soldiers to gather together. They were all neatly dressed, riding horses that had been trained long ago not to be afraid of explosions, holding torches, and wandering around the Qing army camp. While wandering around, he shouted in Manchurian: "Brothers of the Eight Banners, blessed by gods and Buddhas, are not afraid of evil..."
Although most of the Han soldiers and Green Camp soldiers could not understand Manchurian, they felt at ease when they saw hundreds of Manchurians riding tall horses and shouting.
With the Manchurian heavenly soldiers here, what do they have to fear?
But with peace of mind and peace of mind, it was impossible for them to go back to sleep. The roar of the Ming army's rockets lasted intermittently for half the night, and the Qing army's artillery forts also roared along with it. There were also Manchu soldiers riding big horses in the camp, shouting and circling... This night of the Qing Dynasty The military camp is so busy, who can think of sleeping?
By an hour before dawn, the Ming army's rockets had finished firing, the Qing army's cannons had stopped roaring, the Manchu soldiers were hoarse from shouting, and tens of thousands of people in the Qing army's camp also stayed up late and yawned all day long. , the eyes are red... but it is impossible to fall back asleep.
Because according to Tu Hai's plan, today is the time for the decisive battle! He doesn't dare to delay time now, because time is on Zhu Heji's side!
So now all the ministries and battalions have to start cooking fires to prepare rations for the day...and of course a particularly sumptuous "last breakfast".
In addition, the "demon heads" from each battalion also gathered at the Chinese army camp in Tuhai and began to receive combat orders.
The "monsters" who didn't sleep well last night all looked a little tired now, and most of them felt a little uneasy... Although Tu Hai and Kong Sizhen strictly blocked the news of Wu Sangui's rebellion, the military There are some "monsters" in ACCCIM who have sharp ears and eyes, and they heard some rumors from somewhere.
In addition, after Deqing Prefecture was occupied by the Ming army, all the Qing troops from Guangxi were worried about the safety of their families... Everyone wanted to return home, but the people above wanted to fight to the death with the Ming army in Guangdong. They were anxious in their hearts but did not dare to speak out, so their morale was not much higher.
Last night, the camp encountered another "meteor attack". Although there were not many casualties, their morale dropped sharply - although there were heavenly soldiers behind them who were "not afraid of demons", the heavenly soldiers were not afraid of them!
Tuhai also felt that everyone's morale was a bit low, but he still had some tricks up his sleeve.
He glanced at the "demon heads" in the big tent with a happy face, and then said with a smile: "I'll tell you some good news... The imperial court has cracked the secret of the sky thunder! We in the army There is thunder now too!”
