The thunder struck down, and the slave's dream was shattered!
Following several loud noises, clouds of thick smoke suddenly rose from the dense queue of Green Camp slave soldiers. Taking the battalion as a unit, these green soldiers formed a dense square formation with muskets, bows and arrows in front, and swords and spears in the back. Some of the black spots that flew out from behind the "armored shield vehicle" formation landed on the Qing army's right wing among several green battalion phalanxes near the Jianyang River.
All I saw was that the rising smoke dispersed, and there were gaps one after another in the dense square array below.
The gap was full of dead people who had been blown over and injured people rolling on the ground, screaming and covered in blood.
This mortar salvo fired a total of hundreds of super-caliber thunder hammers, although less than twenty hit several Qing army formations and exploded. But the thunder hammers fired by these cannons are not ordinary, they are big guys! Each one is filled with eight taels of high-quality sugar medicine and almost the same number of copper coins.
Once it explodes violently, it can be released into a large area of green camp slave soldiers!
This is a tragedy in the world. He devoted himself to being a slave, but failed to become a slave and lost his life.
Moreover...it seems that the Qing Dynasty did not have any rules about giving slaves as gifts or dressing slaves!
I have never heard of any famous official from the Qing Dynasty and Han Dynasty who posthumously gifted a coated slave as a posthumous gift... let alone little slaves like them from the Green Camp.
This is really a thunderbolt, the father and mother raised in vain, the slave's dream is shattered, the traitor is so miserable!
Several Green Camp slave formations, which were originally arranged neatly, suddenly fell into chaos. The Green Camp traitors also knew that something was wrong and started crying one after another.
"Thunder! It's thunder!"
"The thunder is coming, hide quickly!"
"Hide quickly, hide quickly...I'm dead!"
He shouted to hide quickly, but his actual actions were like running around like a headless chicken. Hiding forward seems to be sending you to death, but hiding behind the knives in the hands of the coated slave soldiers is still sending you to death, no matter how many knives you have in the hands of the coated slave soldiers. Although the military law of the Qing soldiers is not as good as it was back then, the knives used by the coated slaves to kill the green camp are still the same. Very sharp!
So they returned to chaos, but no one dared to escape!
Wu Shicong, who was commanding the armored hammer-throwers on the opposite side, found that the Qing soldiers who had been "hammered" by him did not run away, and became angry. He immediately ordered: "Ten more rounds... Damn it." Bazi, I don’t believe it, you green camp soldiers who are not even worthy of dog slaves can be so brave!”
"Got the order!"
His soldiers shouted loudly, and then some of them rushed to continue delivering the order.
Wu Shicong did not supervise the firing of artillery in the artillery array. Instead, he led the remaining soldiers to patrol in a large hollow phalanx of hammer-throwing artillerymen. There were more than 5,000 armored hammer-throwing artillery troops under his leadership. The front that this number of troops can deploy is of course not very wide, that is, the width of more than a hundred armored shield vehicles side by side (there is still some space between the two vehicles), which is almost a hundred paces.
Compared with the front of the Qing army, this width is only a small section. Therefore, Wu Shicong did not dare to attack the front of the Qing army, otherwise he would be surrounded by the Qing army. The tactic he adopted was to attack the right flank of the Qing army along the Jianyang River. After the troops pressed forward, a large hollow square formation was immediately deployed. Prepare to face the Qing army's counterattack!
This large hollow phalanx is the same in principle as the small phalanx composed of forty-eight hammer-throwers. They all use spear soldiers and sword soldiers to form a "formation wall", then place musketeers and archers on the second line, and hammer throwers on the third line.
The difference is that one of the four "sides" that make up this phalanx is an armored shield cart and a strong man pushing the cart.
Those strong men were all soldiers of the Wu army. After pushing the cart into position, they took out swords, spears, shields, muskets, bows and arrows, and grenades and hammers from the cart to arm themselves. Then rely on the shield car to launch defense!
In addition, in the middle of this hollow square formation, Wu Shicong also placed cavalry and more than a hundred hammer-throwing cannons-those carriages pulled the hammer-throwing cannons and the "big hammers" fired by the cannons.
According to President Wu's plan, the "big hammers" fired from the hammer-throwing cannon were actually used to "force the enemy to attack." Based on Old Man Wu's understanding of the Qing soldiers, these Qing slave soldiers would not collapse after being bombed by the "big hammer". They should be able to fight before dying.
Even if those green camp soldiers are willing to lie down and die, the coated slaves and the Eight Banners soldiers behind the formation will not agree... Because if the green camp soldiers don't die, it will be the coated slaves' turn. If the coated slaves If there are heavy casualties, then the Eight Banners soldiers will have to go up.
So Wu Shicong must now ensure that the square array set up by his men is strong enough!
"Be careful, Qing Gou's hammer is coming!"
Wu Shicong was checking everywhere when one of his soldiers suddenly roared, and then several smelly strong men surrounded him with open arms, as if they wanted to use their flesh and blood to help him explode.
Loyalty is faithful, but does it work?
Just when Wu Shicong was about to push away these soldiers, a loud "boom" came!
The Weiyuan General Cannon of the Qing soldiers had already blasted the larger sugar-powder bombs. The response was quite fast and the shots were quite accurate.
In the first round of shelling, a shell hit the formation where Wu Shicong was located, and it exploded after landing!
Now the Wu family's army had to suffer a lot of casualties!
The Qing army's sugar-powder blooming bullet had much more powder than the Wu army's blooming hammer. Although the composition of the sugar medicine inside is not quite right, the cast iron cartridge cases and iron nails will produce rust on their own, and the bumps during transportation shattered the sugar medicine in the cartridge case, causing the sugar medicine to be mixed with a large amount of rust. This is equivalent to adding a sufficient amount of catalyst to make the sugar medicine burn extremely violently after being ignited.
As soon as the hammer came down, it was like the earth was shaking, and it immediately knocked down the surrounding Wu Jiajun soldiers!
Although Wu Shicong was not hit by shrapnel, he was "blown down" by a gust of hot wind. He was also held down by several strong men and pressed under his body.
The shelling from both sides continued, throwing mines over each other's heads back and forth.
The firepower of Wu Jun is of course fierce. Their hammer-throwing cannons use super-caliber bullets, which are small cannons that fire big bombs. Therefore, there are many artillery pieces and of course there are many artillery shells. In the blink of an eye, thousands of super-caliber bombs were fired, causing heavy casualties to several phalanxes on the right flank of the Qing army. One of them was really beaten to pieces. However, they still did not dare to hit the knife of the slaves behind them, but very cleverly "jumped into the river"... Hundreds of people threw themselves into Jianyang Water, but they did not dare to go to the center of the river, but in Standing in the shallow water near the river beach.
It is now the tenth month of the lunar calendar, and the weather in Hubei has already turned cold!
Although the Weiyuan General Artillery of the Qing Army was small in number and did not have much ammunition, their artillery shells were not large enough to withstand them. When they exploded, the scene was extremely spectacular and very inspiring.
Just as Wu Shicong was thinking about pushing away the strong men and standing up, there was another thunderous bang above his head and in his heart.
This time, a Qing army's explosive bomb exploded above Wu Shicong's head, but the location of the explosion was a bit high, so the shrapnel could not hit the Wu army below. But this scene is still very bluffing. It seems as if a huge fireball appears out of thin air on top of the Wu family's hollow square formation, trying to engulf all the Wu family officers and soldiers below.
"Long live the Qing Dynasty..."
Although no one in the Wu family army was actually engulfed by the fire, the Qing army on the opposite side didn't know it, so they still let out earth-shattering cheers.
Zhuo Butai, who was supervising the battle on the battlefield, felt that the opportunity was rare...and he didn't have many explosive shells, so he couldn't compete with the Wu army on the opposite side!
So Zhuo Butai made a decisive decision and loudly ordered: "Beat the drum, march... the right-wing green battalion soldiers and the coated slave army will come together to defeat the rebel phalanx!"
"嗻!"
After a while, a row of war drums placed under Wangdou started to be beaten, and soon the green camp soldiers and coated slave soldiers on the right wing of the Qing army received the order to attack.
Just as the green battalion soldiers and coated slave soldiers on the right wing of the Qing army were driven forward by the Eight Banners soldiers behind them, thousands of escort cavalry from the coated slave army and hundreds of imperial guards wearing yellow jackets suddenly appeared. On the north bank of Jianyang River, appearing with them was the Zhenghuang Dragon Flag symbolizing the Qing Emperor.
Kangxi came and appeared on the right side of the battlefield!
The Qing troops on the battlefield suddenly became excited.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."
